Tell Em Steve-Dave - #637: Heart of Dixon

Episode Date: May 18, 2025

Bry goes to Vegas, concerts, a 13%er makes a grand gesture, ye’s new song, Walt makes a big announcement.

So the one our man won the butter contest Tell'em Steve Dave, which Walt may be one of the shortest editions ever. I am feeling like shit, but I came anyway. Really? Why? I don't know. I got a really bad headache and my stomach, I'm getting like stomach cramps and nausea and shit like that.

Oh, shit. Don't have COVID. Nah, I don't want any COVID. I took stuff. Pepto. Pepto. Don't have COVID. Nah, I don't want any COVID. I took stuff. Pepto. Pepto. You said you wanted more. Yeah, take more.

Nah, I took enough stuff. Oh, you should have, yeah, we could have called it a day. I don't know, I know, but I like to keep regular. If I don't have something to do at least once a week, I start to go a little crazy. Hopefully, I don't projectile vomit all over the good enough Sunday Jeff to come visit us. Thank you, Sunday. No problem.

My pleasure. We got a Q in a far off land. I don't know where he went, but we were going to try to call him. I don't know if it's going to work. Let's give him a call. Everyone's going to need headphones? Yeah. If he picks up.

I don't hear him. Please leave your message for. Must be three in the morning over there. Yep. I don't hear him. Please leave your message for- Oh. Oh. Must be three in the morning over there. Yep, right to voicemail. All right, so we're not gonna talk to Q. No headphones necessary. Oh.

Oh boy. I texted him ahead of time, but I guess he's doing something. He's doing some kind of acting role. That's how much I'll say. Oh. Secret? I don't know. He didn't say it was secret, but he didn't say it wasn't secret. So I'd rather not expose any of it. We'll see. I went to Vegas. Ah, my kind of town. I wish I was more of a guy that could come back with stories

of like, you're not going to believe this shit. Instead of like- You got to make your stories. You can't sit around and make waiting for those stories. They'll look for trouble. Yeah. You got to get up on the top of the tallest building and screen that you're going to jump or something and just for content, you know, I think you might be right to tell you the truth because nothing else was happening. He really did jump.

He jumped after all for content. He did it for content. The most exciting thing happened and I wasn't even there yet. Well, there was the whole problem with United Airlines, right? Newark Airport and all this shit. They're losing contact on radar and the airport is is packed and also I'm gonna tell you right now I think Newark went to shit the very first fucking day that you stopped working there's Jeff I had nothing to do with traffic control

You're working there. I know that shit would be I mean, it's it's such a busy airport now. A lot of the stuff is outdated I'm sure. And they're shorthanded in air traffic controllers. Would you? I wanted to be in air traffic control before all that stuff. I tried to… You think you can handle the high pressure and the anxiety and the absolute like you can't fuck up?

Well, I mean you can make mistakes. You just got to fix them real quick. That's all. I mean, there's plenty of that kind of stuff that happens. I mean, you know, but. They were saying that like when the radar went dark, people like some air traffic controllers left because of trauma leave because they were so screwed up by it. Yeah, well, I think it's a real short shift they were too.

I mean, it's like 20 minutes and then they're a break and then they, because you're just eyes, they are. I think it's a real short shifts. They work too. I mean, it's like, like 20 minutes and then they're, they're a break and then they cause you're just eyes. You're just looking at sounds like the job for me. You know, you're looking at so much. I don't know if that's it. They don't work like, like long periods of time because they're constantly looking at monitors all the time. And you, you know, you gotta be kind of like, you know, get them.

I don't think has left. He's had a 48 plus hour shift, right? You haven't gone home yet. So he's like that, he's putting those fucking flight of, of what are they called? Those air traffic controllers. Air traffic controllers. It's a shame. They should look at him and be like, damn.

Yeah. I mean. How do you put in 48 hours straight? If you were flying, would you want him, would you want to get him to be the air traffic controller? This way, like, zero, two, six, five, heavy, what's going on up there? Like, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm I'll watch Deep Space Nine. I don't get Deep Space Nine on this monitor. Yeah, it's a tough job. I'm a special person to do that kind of stuff. Turned out though, it was maybe one of the best experiences I've ever had in an airport.

There was two people ahead of us in security, right to the flight. The flight was on time. We got there an hour early. Yeah, see, so that's the problem. And then on the way back, same deal. We got in like 20 minutes early, but like no wait at the airport, nothing. Like when we got into Newark, it was fine. So I don't know if it's overblown or it was just those moments or what was going on.

The last couple of times that I flew out of Newark, everything was fine. I flew Jet Blue, I flew Spirit and I I flew United, and all of them left, departed. I tell you what, I don't know what time you left. What time did you leave? I left, what time was it? Nine? I think nine in the morning we left. What day?

Was it on a … It was on a Thursday. I left on a Sunday, and I tell you, if I tell you the security … Do you only fly in Sundays because of your Sunday, Jeff? They only left. No. It's just that it's happened to me. Well, since your name is Sunday.

A lot of times the flights can be cheaper depending on what time you leave, like what day you come back. Yeah, they let me go in. It's like, oh, they just, they pull the rope out. You don't even have to go to security. But the security there, it was so busy that they stopped you going up the escalators. Did you fly United? Yeah.

United is only you guys in the one area where you got to go up in terminal C. And it's just like, oh, I thought I was going to miss the flight. I mean, they stopped, I was waiting in zigzags down at the concourse level before I even went up the escalators and then you had the zigzag up there. I'm like, I go up to the guys like, man, I got to

rebook my flight. And I was like, what time's your flight? It's like, it's like 730, eight to the guy, it's like, man, I got to rebook my flight. He's like, what time is your flight? It's like 7.30, 8 o'clock. He's like, oh, you make it. I was like, really? He was right though. I didn't make the flight. Yeah, we did get through security, but man, that's why I like flying out of JFK sometimes

better. They have the dogs, so you don't have to take your shoes off. You just walk down, the dog sniffs you and that's it. You don't even have to take your shoes off. You don't have a pre-check? That slows everything. No, I didn't have a pre-check. I want to get Teddy a job at the airport sniffing people.

He's pretty good. Out of the second I came in, he started sniffing me. Why didn't you do that? There you go. Now, I don't know if he could find drugs, but he'll sniff you up and down though. He'll give you the once over. Then everybody's suspect. Is that what they're looking for? Just drugs or are they looking for guns too?

They're trained I guess to look for whatever. For bombs and shit? I mean, wow. Like gunpowdered smelling shit. Yeah, I'm sure they're trained to do a lot of different stuff. When I was- I rarely see them though. I don't see dogs in airports that frequently.

When I worked at the airport though, when I would come in, our break room was in, when I was working for SAS and the international terminal, for me to go to the break room, you could see where they were bringing the baggage up and they would have customs and they have the dog actually walk on the belt smelling each bag that's going up the conveyor belt. Right. Yeah. So they're on the ball, I guess. I just saw a girl, a young girl, like in her early twenties that got busted for

traffic and drugs, I think over in Thailand. It's like one of those things like, how would you anymore? Like, yeah, unless you're forced into it. Yeah. And this day and age, how do you think you'd be like, do you think they're going to check my suitcase going on this flight? You're out of your mind. They check everything.

Did you see that guy? He had a bunch of little pellets of coke sewed into his, what's it called? His hair piece. Toupe? They found that, huh? The Toupe. Yeah, they found it. Yeah, I guess it just looked a little bit weird. He looked a little bit bumpy.

That's crazy. Like balls would be like, hey, you know what? Let me just tie the drugs in my head. They'll never know. Yeah. Well, you can't put them under a hat because they make you take that off. But a toupee, I don't think there's any FAA rules against wearing a toupee. It was good though.

I had a good time over there. Yeah. Well, the main action happened before I got there. We were going there for dual purpose. We were going there for a podcast festival and to visit her parents who live in Vegas. Before I even got to the podcast festival, I saw a video of one of the attendees was arguing with another attendee. The first attendee was being accused of being a troll. That's where it started.

Right out of the gate. Right out of the gate, yeah. She's like, it's a woman talking to a guy, a woman who's probably... Looks like she's in her 50s, which was surprising that she then did this. Talking to a guy like maybe in his 30s and they're going back and forth about – she thinks that he's not only is he trolling her, but he has like three other accounts that are also trolling her, so he won't leave her alone. She's very serious in this video where he's taking the video. For some reason, she was like,

you know I have a concealed carry, right? And he says, no. Just saying I got a gun. She's saying I have a gun on me in a casino. She's in the casino where this is happening. Like this makes the whole event sound so ghetto that like this is the kind of like, this is the only thing that happened the entire weekend that would be considered out of ordinary. I guess so, but I don't know. I don't think you're allowed to carry in casinos. Well, I know you definitely can't go down Fremont Street anymore. They put all that security now.

You got to go through metal detectors after a certain hour. I've been there multiple times. I haven't seen anybody open like where I see it. Like when I was in Carolina, I see people riding motorcycles. You see the holster on the side, driving down the highway. It's like Mad Max times. Yeah. So that was the big thing that happened on Thursday. We got in Thursday night or Thursday

late early afternoon. I got to say, the podcast fest was very smooth. It was a long day. Long day. Yeah, no hitches after that. Long day, but there was a butter eating contest that Mary Beth joined. Butter? Yeah, like a stick of butter, which I thought was disgusting. It was just like it's tough.

What do you win though? You would have won $250 if you could eat a stick of butter before everybody else. And there were probably maybe one, there were two females and maybe four males in it. You don't like butter or something? Not a stick of it. Butter makes everything better, mashed potatoes or butter. It doesn't make that, it makes everything just like greasy. Hot biscuits with butter.

Yeah, a normal dose, not a whole stick of butter. It's nasty. It's like a big thing of solidified salty mucus. It's disgusting. You're going to ruin butter for everybody. A little bit, a little butter. Supposed to be a fucking stick of butter? Yeah.

They thought I was going to do it and I was like, no way. No way am I going to try to do a stick of butter. Did she eat it? Did she do it? She tried like, no way. Like no way am I going to try to do a stick of butter. She tried. Yeah, see. She tried. She, she was really like, she thought she was, she went into it thinking she was going to win.

I got this. Yeah, like where do these people find this confidence from? Like this, this like there's a, I see so much of it online. I see so much of it around me. It's the younger generation, dude. Like where do they have this ridiculous, unrealistic confidence? Where does it come from? I don't know. I think they had different parents than maybe our generation. My parents would have been like, you can't do it. You'll never win. These younger kids are like …

My parents would be like, you shouldn't do it. It's not worth winning. You're going to get sick. You're going to get sick. Yeah. He doesn't eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. You wanted me to stick a butter? Yeah. The confidence, I was surprised by too.

I was like, if you think so, but at first I thought it was her versus one other girl. So I was like, all right, maybe she will win. She's got a 50-50 chance. But then it turned out there were a bunch of guys in there too. One of them, and this was the most embarrassing part, the guy who won was a one-armed dude. Not only did he have to unwrap the butter with only one hand, which would take a lot longer than unwrapping with two hands, he then had to scarf it down, which he did. The one-armed man won the butter contest.

Mary Beth wasn't even close. She still had like three-quarters of her stick of butter left. I'm surprised she just doesn't like cut it in half and just try to swallow it. I think I'd eat it like candy bar. Without chewing it. Without chewing it, yeah. That's what I need. Her up there, like, yeah.

Which is like the other, that's what the other girl said. She was like, you know, you try to eat it, but it's just so concealed that it doesn't slide down easily like you would think it might. That's what I thought too, like all buttery and oily and shit. Just slide down your gullet like a hot knife through butter. Yeah, but not the case now. So we did that. We went to the podcast fest.

It was a long day. I mean, did you say it was for a week? No, we were there from Thursday and then we came back on Tuesday. So we were there for a good couple days. We played bingo, which I don't think I've ever felt more uninvolved in a game in my life. It was at this place called the Plaza and it's like they bill it as like, this ain't your grandma's bingo. Like this is bingo

for 2025 and blah, blah, blah. High stakes. Oh, they can be high stakes. You chuckle, but they're, my wife has won bingo on the cruise and it ain't no money to chuckle at Sunday. Dude, I was two squares away from winning $5,000. Yeah, that's high stakes. Yeah. That was two squares away from winning $5,000. Yeah, that's high stakes. Yeah.

That what you won? You won $5,000? No, she won $1,000. Not enough to pay for that car yet. Marybeth won $36. But the weird thing about it was it's in this huge room with all these fluorescent lights, and there's tons of computer screens.

So what you do is you buy your cards up front, and your cards are then loaded onto this computer screens. So what you do is you buy your cards up front and your cards are then loaded onto this computer screen and then you go and you sit down in front of it and they call the number and you don't press anything. Oh, it automatically does it for you. It automatically does it for you. So you literally just sit there. Can't fuck up that.

And hope to win. You can't fuck it up. You can play the old fashioned way though. You can, yes. Yeah, you can. If you choose to and you're more involved in it. A couple of my friends chose to. You should have seen them.

There was like no way they could keep up. They had like 39 cards and they were just going too fast. The other thing was it is your grandmother's bingo because you weren't allowed to talk. You have all the automatic people. That doesn't matter to them if people are talking, but the people who are doing the old school daubers, yeah. They can't hear as well, so you're supposed to be quiet the whole time. It was not, I don't know, fun, I guess.

Well, if you would have won, it would have been fun. I'm sure the story would have been a lot different. It would have been fucking amazing if I won, yeah. He's two squares away, he said, from what, 35 bucks? Get the phone. Yeah, there were a couple of people who won. Marybeth won 36 bucks. A couple people won 100, and then one lady won 5,000.

That was like the big money prize. I guess it depends on how many play. I mean, obviously, the more people that play, the bigger the pots are, correct? I would think so. So on a cruise ship, there's probably a lot of people playing. Oh yeah, it's hard to win on a cruise ship. There's like hundreds of people. Apparently not. Well, I mean that's the first time. I've been on a couple cruises.

But your wife has that luck. Yeah, it's just like your wife has one of those people. It's like she's got a leprechaun on her shoulder. Yeah. I mean look who is. She's constantly winning at life. She married me. She became Irish the day she married me and that leprechaun left my shoulder and went to hers. I think the leprechaun left something else. Here we go. That was Vegas. I wanted to go to the Atomic Museum, but she had relatives.

I had a blaster. Oh, you went? Yeah. I really wanted to go and she had relatives that were there, so we had to visit with them. It turned out to be a lot of relative visiting rather than... Yeah. The sphere didn't have any music either. That I didn't go to.

Because it was like the event or the show there, it's pretty expensive to go for just like the regular... It's almost like soaring at like Disney, I guess. But it's got like 45 minutes, an hour, and then there's some kind of other stuff that you do beforehand. They have all these kind of robotics or whatever. I mean, I saw some YouTube videos of it, but I passed on it and I did see the Atomic Museum. It's interesting though. They have twice a year that they... I was trying to plan it out that you could actually

go to the test sites. Oh, where it's still irradiated, right? that I was trying to plan it out that you could actually go to the test sites. Oh, where it's still irradiated, right? Yeah, you could all see like the Sundan Crater and all, the Apple House. Do you have to wear any special clothing? No, I mean, it's not, I mean, there's still radioactive, you know, but it's- And you would take a chance on that. It's not to where it's going to affect you. You're not there for long periods of time.

What if it affects your testing? I don't think anything could affect. Well, it doesn't really matter at this point in my life. I'm not going to, so my kids will be glowing. I don't think I'm going to have any kids at this age. I think it's pretty interesting to sit there and see that, where they're doing all the testing. I don't want no part of that. I don't want to be anywhere near it.

Yeah, you're not going to be right on top of anything. I'll stay on the script. I would think it was pretty cool, but you can't take pictures. You can't take pictures. No, it's a bus. It's, well, I mean, it's still probably, you know, certain stuff might be classified. They don't want certain stuff. But they run tourist fucking proof, but it's still classified. It is weird to kind of take pictures. You're still on a base. You're still on some kind of establishment. You know, you're not just like,

you know, just in on, just like any regular place. You're still going through some kind of federal. It's still basically like a tourist trap though. It's still at the end of the day, it's a tourist trap, but they're running people through it, bus trips. And you can't take photos. Well, you can't have your cell phone. Can you bring food with you on a picnic? Um, I think they did say something with food, but you can't really bring. At the site, you can't bring cell phone. Can you bring food with you on a picnic?

I think they did say something with food, but you can't really bring anything. At the site you mean? Like an irradiated site? Yeah. I mean, I don't know why, but there's a whole set of rules or whatever, but they weren't doing it for some reason. They closed all the tours for some reason. So did they confiscate your phone?

No, I never went on. I never was able to get it. I was trying to time it because it's got to be like months before you actually go and see it. But I find that stuff pretty interesting. I would sneak a photo if I could. Of anything, just to see you did it. He's a rebel this fucking guy, every time. That's why he never did any returns. I remember I took my daughter Alicia to see a concert at the Stone Pony, I think the little

girl's name was Lights. She was this little tiny 20-something year old. She had a little meet and greet after the concert and her big, gigantic bodyguard was like, no pictures. Alicia was so heartbroken. I whispered to her in line, I was like, don't worry. I said, I know Peter Parker. You go up there, I said, I'll get a photo.

And she goes, no, don't. Don't make it. Don't do it. And I was like, trust me. I said, he'll never know. So she gets up there, and she's talking, and she's talking. And I take my phone out, and I slow, so fucking slowly. And then I'm looking around, I see someone look at me.

So I turn around, and I pretend I'm scrolling on something. I was like, oh, I got to win this eBay auction, I say out loud just to make it look like I'm doing something. With his eyes, the phone's upside down. So I go in and take the picture. I hear, sir, put your phone away, sir. Oh boy. I look up and it is a massive man, you know, who is very intimidating. And he's like, you're not allowed to take pictures. And I was like, I wasn't taking pictures. Yes, you were!

I go, I wasn't taking pictures. At least it's just covering your face. I go look at my phone. I said, I hadn't, but I wasn't able to take a picture. I did get a picture, but it was of just my foot. Here it is. I got it. You can at least say it's, I was there. Yeah, but she was that happy. She said, I told you not to do it. I was just like...

I don't know why though. What is that? Like a lot of concerts now, I saw when I went to see Kevin Hart, they make you lock up your phones. I mean, maybe because they want the video being on. They don't want the video being online. They don't want the material out there for other people because it's like if it's on YouTube then everybody hears it and they're like, oh, well, why would I go see Kevin Hart? They did the same thing when I went to see Louis CK. They took everybody's phones.

But even when I saw at Count Basie, when I saw William Shatner, they went and let us take pictures of him. I believe it's because they don't want pictures online of unflattering angles. You get a 99-year-old man and you don't get the right angle, you look like you're posing with a corpse. Dude, I have some pictures of a 57-year-old man. The same applies. They put a mirror underneath my nose when I was on the plane. I think that's what happened with the girl that she was probably so self-conscious about the pictures.

But I'm saying she's young, wasn't she? She was 20. Yeah. I think that's even worse. She's like of the internet age. So she's like, I want to control any picture that gets out of me. All imperfections and stuff like that. So she was like, no pictures.

I would have fucking had it if I was just a little bit quicker with my fingers. It's so weird though. I mean, it's just like, I mean, you could be just out in public and somebody could snap a picture of you. So really what's, I mean, you're in a place where you're, you know, you're at an event.

So obviously, you know, you're dressed up, you got makeup on, you know what I'm saying? So then any place, that's the place that you want to have a picture taken, right? Rather than being just coming out of a grocery store. Right. You know what I'm saying? So in any place, that's the place that you want to have a picture taken, right? Rather than being just coming out of a grocery store. Right, yeah. You know what I'm saying?

I don't know if it's also for time constraints that she's like, if I take a picture of everybody, I'll be here all night. Was it a crowded show? It was a pretty crowded show. Yeah. But like you said, like, like either, you know, you charge for a photograph or you just be like

sitting on, as they're going up to meet him, you snap it on as As they're there take a picture and then what? She was really sweet. She was really nice and she was very kind to all the people that wanted to talk to her But you know man, I like I was like fuck man If I just a little bit quicker if I if I come with somebody else I'm like if I went we get them I would have been like, make a diversion. I think a heart attack. You can get them now. Get them.

Quick, eat the stick of butter. He'll pop right up. No need to defibrillator. That's like Popeye with spinach. Couch back, buddy. That's it? That's all you did out there? Yeah, and hung around with her for a bit.

I was like, I'm going to go get some more. I'm going to go get some more. I'm going to go get some more. I'm going to go get some more. I'm going to go get some more. I'm going to go get some more. I'm going to go get some more. I'm going to go get some more.

I'm going to go get some more. I'm going to go get some more. I'm going to go get some more. I'm going to go get some more. I'm going to go get some more. I'm going to go get some more. I'm going to go get some more. That's it? That's all you did out there? Yeah, and hung around with her parents, went out to eat, went out to eat a lot. Some good restaurants out there. Went down to the strip. I was looking for a certain place called the Court Carousel or Carousel Court or something. Once we got down there, I just couldn't find it. So I was like, fuck it, turned around and went back. Yeah, I didn't get a chance. The last time I was there, I just couldn't find it. So I was like, fuck it,

turned around and went back. Yeah, I didn't get a chance. The last time I was there, I told you I was going to do that escape room. They have the sauce escape room. I'm sorry I didn't do that. We just ran out of time. I really wanted to do it. But it's actually got to do with multiple people. If you do it with the smallest group, I think you can do it with four. It's pretty expensive. It's pretty pricey. But it looks like you're walking like it's it's pretty expensive it's it's pretty pricey but it looks like you're walking on it it looked pretty cool after our escape room I was all ready for it I looked around for a Flanagan style blackjack table

couldn't find it though the least I could find was three dollar minimums that's not too bad you thought would you find one oh I found one I found a quarter one a quarter one really A quarter one, really? Or a penny one. You're talking digital. Oh boy. Yeah, digital. Digital blackjack.

Yeah. Three dollar blackjack. I think I found a penny one, which is really fucked up. You can spend hours playing for a penny a hand. It's like the senior citizen arcades and stuff. They go like, bring me some coffee. Why's everybody got walkers in here? I'll tell you.

It was absolutely jam packed. You're not too far from that. Yeah, so I lost 50 bucks on that. Mary Beth lost 100 on bubble craps. That's like nothing. I mean, it's crazy what you see people. I saw people throwing some big money out on tables and varying between excited and crestfallen. I went to the last time I was at a casino only a couple of weeks ago. I, I, it was fucking nuts. I didn't realize what I was doing. It was a new kind of machine and it didn't, I put in my, um, I, my,

I had a hundred dollar bill. I put it in and I didn't realize that I had bet 50 bucks. Sometimes they're so sensitive. You hit the button. And I didn't realize it. What the fuck happened to my money already? No, and I won't realize that I had bet 50 bucks. Yeah. Sometimes they're so sensitive you hit the button and be like, what the fuck happened to my money already? No, and I won. The first hand was up to four and I won. And I looked at my winnings and I was just like, holy shit, this machine's broken. I said, I put in five and it fucking gave me $100 back. So I did it again. That broke my hair.

And I won again, two $50 hands in a row. Wow. But I didn't realize it still. I thought it was, I couldn't figure out Dad broke my hair. And I won again, $250 hands in a row. Wow. But I didn't realize it still. I thought it was, I couldn't figure out what was going on. I was like, this can't be right. And then I proceeded to lose it all. I realized, holy shit, I was spending 50. It's a good thing your eyes ain't that good. What's going on? I could have doubled my money in two hands and walked away, which is always my fault. I can't see those tables, man. They're just too pricey.

No, this was digital. But even the digital ones could go, I mean, how much, how much are you betting on? I think they're a dollar. I think the lowest you can go is a dollar. Yeah. Well, no, I found one that was a penny. In AC? No, it was in New York, upstate New York.

You're not finding them penny in AC. No. It's too much. Yeah. I'm kind of over it now. I'm kind of. Yeah, you're recouped. Yeah.

Yeah, no more gambling for you when you go? I kind of walked away after that. I was like, eh. He's selling copies of Carney at the fucking pawn shop. Something I was supposed to do last week that I neglected to do because I thought it was happening this week was, were you aware that, you know, Lindsay Dixon? Yeah. But I want to say we should be dedicating this episode to her.

I think so too. And maybe the next couple. Yeah, maybe the rest of the year. Because she could tell everybody, yeah, tell Sunday what she did, this heroic, I mean, like this is no joke. No. Shit's fucking solid. I mean, this is more than solid.

It's more than solid thing I've ever heard in my life. It's kind of thing that you sit back and you're like, is she fucking crazy? I would never do this. Lindsay Dixon, who's a listener, long time listener, 13%er, has this tattoo to prove it. She donated a kidney to, you know Chuck? Yeah, he knows Chuck. You know Chuck, right? Chuck's mom, who I guess they found back that they matched or

compatible or whatever. So Chuck's mom. Someday space it like he can't compute it. Yeah. And Lindsay used to date Chuck a long time ago. Yeah, but it's not even a relative though. I mean, it's not like, you know what I'm saying? Yeah, that's why it's like, this is like the most selfless act I've ever heard. Is this the one that moved to Canada? Chuck?

No, no. Lindsay? No, she lives in Maryland. There's another Lindsay I'm thinking of. Yeah. But this Lindsay, she went up to Rhode Island and they did their thing and she got her kidney out, popped it in Chuck's mom. She's doing good? It's all good. I think so. Well, Lindsay's doing good. I know that much because I texted with her and she's doing fine.

Wow. I mean, we talk about like, hey, we're going to help people. Let's do a fucking podcast and put it on Dan Cam. Let's sit there and talk for an hour. Yeah, like this shit is absolutely super heroic. Like how do you – I don't know how you pay that – I don't know how you can say thank you enough. Like it's – you can't. You're like how do you not feel like I owe this person forever?

No matter what they need, I got to be there. Yeah, I got to be there. Yeah, you do owe me, right? Yeah. It's a risk, man. I mean, it's definitely a risk. What's the risk? Well, it's still a surgical procedure. I mean, it's a risk for both people. Well, I think his mom probably was worth the risk.

No, what I'm saying though is like, I mean, you can have complications from a surgery. You know what I'm saying? It's a risk. That's why most people don't do it. You're right, and there's only special heroes that are willing to put their bodies at risk for another human being. It's worthy. It's more than worthy of having this episode of... Yeah, saving a life. Obviously, she's... She's... Obviously, it was dire straits if she needed to have that done. Usually it's a long time to wait for donors too.

So it was, you know, that she happened to be the same type and everything else. There was a blood type I think. They had both a very rare, like she was positive or something. Pretty good. You could get something that quick. I guess, you know we're going to forget though, to dedicate the next one and the one after that and the one after that, so. So if we should just say in perpetuity for the rest of the year, this way we don't have

to remember. Yeah, I mean, are you an organ donor? I'm sure you're not an organ donor, right? Now what makes you say that? What kind of fucking bastard? With such conviction he said it too. Just answer the question. He wrote you off. I want to know why you would even think that. I just, I don't know. Why makes you say that? What kind of- With such conviction he said it too. What a fucking bastard. Just answer the question.

No. He wrote you off. I want to know why you would even think that. I just, I don't know. Why makes you say that out loud? Just because you're just like, you wouldn't really go to doctors for anything. I don't think you're really concerned about like, you're not taking anything from me. I know my answer.

Whoever found his license in his car, just let me know if it was an organ donor in the back. What about you, Sunday? You're an organ donor? I am not. No, why not? I don't know. It's just a … You heard the lure that if you're in a very bad accident that the paramedics might not try to save you. They might not be so …

Oh, is that a thing? True, huh? Yeah, that's what I've heard. They're in for the money. They're in for the spare parts. That they won't try to save you because, yeah, if you're almost too far gone, they're like, oh, we can use all these spare parts if they're in Oregon. But what if you are? They would still do the same thing though, right? Would it really matter? That's what I would assume, but this is what I've heard.

Can we write up some paperwork like real quick and get it notarized across the hall? Across the hall. If you go before me, I can have your arms because I want a pair of guns. Do you? I want a pair of Sunday guns. Walk around like an ape and shit where you can just put your knuckles on the floor. Your arms aren't that long. I don't think they're that much longer than mine. But yeah, I want to be able to wear a tank top this summer. You know you have to do things to... Of course I'll be a morning if you're not around, but at least I'll be able to.

You say he's up there flexing over my casket and shit. You check to... Listen. It's a weirdest guy. He's like flexing and stuff. But you know you have to do work to keep them up like that, you know what I mean? That's the other thing. So they might as well just stay on me because they're going to look all de-corruptive anyways. They'll be like, oh, I can do that. So I'll get a week out of them and this will be good.

I'll take your eyes too. I don't know how long you know you wear glasses on. Maybe your eyes might be worse to mine. Yeah, but what my eyes are for close up? I've still got to wear glasses on. Maybe I'll just take worse to buy. Yeah, but what my eyes are for close up. I've still got to wear glasses on. Maybe I'll just take the whole- Just long distance. Let me just pick through it like a thrift store. Yeah, that's right. I'll take that.

Check off what I can have. Yeah, he can leave that in, Nick. You can leave that on him. Don't take his brain. If we don't want that brain, that'd be normal. Yeah, I just imagine him in the casket with his arms folded, but it's just his sleeves folded across his chest. It's like two of those thin skeleton hands that you use for- Yeah. But yeah, I believe she's still recuperating in the hospital.

Hopefully a quick, quick recovery for both, and they're up and running around and. Also just recently. Oh yeah, this is like the other day. Yeah. Really? Yeah. That's some, yeah, that's, that's no joke, man. That's, that is some impressive, impressive shit. Like somebody, it was so awkward.

Um, somebody bought, um, something from the eBay store for TSD related and, uh, they sent me an email saying how happy they were with it and the name was Lindsay. I wrote this whole thing back like, oh wow, I go, I can't believe you're commenting on this after what you just went through. I just went into it. I was like, this shit is fucking amazing. You are a superhero, yada, yada, yada. Usually I don't do that. Then I get

an email back and like, I don't think I'm the Lindsay that you think I am. I was like, oh, shit, I'm sorry. No, you're all superheroes. Don't worry about it. Well, it was because you bought that fucking print, I said. That's what I was going on. I had Sunday's eyes. I dialed in the wrong number. I tried to play it off and I didn't make a mistake. I was just telling her how awesome she was for buying a TSD item on eBay. By the way, you got a kidney?

That's it for the spots this week. Now we can talk about, let's see here. What do I got? Sage going prom dress shopping today. What is prom? It's in a week. In a week. Yeah.

Doesn't have a date though. She's going stag. Okay. I think a lot of kids go, a lot of go in groups. Like my daughter went with a bunch of different people. Did she? Yeah. Yeah, I think Sage is going with her friend, her female friend and her male friend. As long as they have a good time, that's the only thing. That's the bottom line. Yeah.

Different when we were going. Much different, yeah. Why do you say that with that boyish devilish grin? Uh, I mean- You see that grin? He was thinking back to what happened on Prime Night Sunday. Yeah, why do you say that with that boyish? You see that grin he was thinking back to hit what happened on Prime night Sunday You know Why No, I gotta put the kibosh on it.

I got chastity belt. That's a long time ago. Things are different. Things are different. I was back in the 80s, right? Usually back when we went, I mean, I don't know anybody that went, at least at my school, I don't remember anybody going single or going with multiple groups. Or going sober.

Like now it's like they all, like I said, my daughter went with a bunch of different, they all went in groups, they all sat multiple groups. Like now, it's like they all, like I said, my daughter went with a bunch of different, they all went in groups, they all sat in groups. Obviously, there was boyfriend, girlfriend or couples, but it's not like that. Did you tell her about your prom night or do you like, no? No, no. I'm like him. You know? I'm like, don't get me worried. I got to know what happened on your prom night, but you're smiling from ear to ear. But it happened, it doesn't matter anyways. It happened well before prom anyways. It's

just a recap. It doesn't matter anyways. It's well in the past. I got in big trouble on senior prom night. I had a girlfriend and we took a limo with another couple and I mildly suggested some soft swapping and everybody got mad at me. Yeah, so it didn't happen and the rest of the night was kind of like doing this. Yeah, limos man, everybody had to buy like rent a limo. Yeah, I don't rent no limo. What'd you drive? My friend, this guy I knew, he actually had a Lincoln Town Car, so I borrowed his Lincoln Town Car for the one prom.

Wow, that's a bitch to drive, right? Isn't it? That's a big car. Yeah, it is. Yeah. Good driver. Who are you smiling? He's all blushing.

Look at his spot. Yeah, that's a good time. What do you like to go back? Yeah, I like to go back. Go back to the 80s, man. Put some Bon Jovi on. You put your, you wear your luscious. He's all blushing. Look at this. Yeah Put some Bon Jovi on There with your fucking hairy chest

We're asking you about what I don't probably know. You're talking about me in the 80s with my hairy chest. You're talking about me now. You want my arms, I want your hairy chest. I don't know. I think they were just, you know, it was a good time in high school. You had a good time in high school, huh? I liked the 80s.

I mean, I liked that time. You know, you look back and you're like, yeah, you're missing now. Don't you see Sunday Jeff as being soft spoken and not really the center of attention in high school? I don't know, but I'll tell you this. I would give my left nut to hang out with Sunday Jeff in the 80s. I bet you it would fucking be, it would have been a fun time. I hung out with everybody though. You know how like when we went to school you had groups, you have your Burnouts, your Jocks and everything else like that. It's like, I hung out with everybody. I didn't care. I mean, it's just like, you know, I had friends in this group,

this group. I was just like, I was just, you know, if you were cool, I would have a chat. Yeah, I would have loved to have hung out with Sunday Jeff and fucking, and tour up the fucking town, you know. Come with me to prom. Which group did you most closely align with? The jobs, the burnouts? I mean, I had a couple from- Neutral, the fucking Switzerland-o-beige.

When you went to school though, you hung out with your- Metalheads. Yeah, okay, metalheads, potheads, whatever you wanna call them. Metalheads. Yeah, okay. Metalheads, potheads, whatever you want to call them. Metalheads. Right. Edger. There were all different groups back then. So I had a couple of friends that were, like I never smoked pot or anything, but I had

friends that did it. I had regular friends that were very smart. You had your brains, your geniuses. You hung out with the nerds too, huh? There's a couple people. I mean, they didn't act like nerds But I'm just saying they were just you know they're not walking around with tape on their glasses shit Where do you think were you you know?

I was like would you fall in but what did you most closely I'm in no man's land. That's what I was You haven't nothing has changed. I was just like Kane. I walked by myself you know You are you fall under no category. That's good, right? When I try to describe you, I'm like, he's undescribable. That's good, I guess. Undescribable, I'll take. I don't mind undescribable. Let's see here. Yeah, so she's going to the prom. She's got a special ride that I'm not going to reveal until-

How come? I know who it is. You know who it is? Yeah. I just think it'll be cool to reveal it on Instagram. People will see, make a little video of it and stuff. Maybe they won't be excited. I don't know. I was not going to reveal it. Everybody's on the edge of their seat now until next week. We got a showman over here. Yeah. Trying to do anything to get people excited.

So she's decided to go? Yeah, she's very excited to go. Like I said, she's dress shopping today. She just got a dress for a homecoming that I was like, she can't wear that one. I guess that's not something that girls do is wear the same dress to a prom and a homecoming. They are not cheap, some of these prom dresses. Yeah, like Marybeth said that when she went, her parents spent, or her mother, her father

didn't know about it, but her mother spent like 1500 bucks on a prom dress. No, not that much. Yeah, that's fucking crazy. It was at least like 400. I was like, fuck that shit. That's bonkers, yeah. Yeah, that's nuts. For something you're probably going to wear once.

And she did wear once. Yeah. Yeah, it's just like once. I mean, it's a beautiful dress something you're probably going to wear once. And she did wear once. Yeah. Yeah. It's just like once. I mean, it's a beautiful dress. She still has it somewhere. Couldn't get it to a seamstress and kind of.

Let it out for Sage. Yeah. Or let it, whatever, take it. I don't think so. Like if you saw Mary Beth in High Street, it would have leaned out a lot of letting out. Sage is pretty big these days. Yeah, she's grown. She's a big gal.

But yeah, that's next week. So I'll report back. Have you heard this new Kanye song, Sunday? No. You're not going to listen to it, huh? No. I'll listen to it if you have it. I don't have it. I couldn't find it. I looked on Twitter. Now, it really is an indication of just how fucking ad-a-whack the world is. That he's allowed to put this up? Well, no, not that he's allowed to, but that he puts it out and there are some people who

are mad that it's not available everywhere. It's a song about Hitler. Got it. And we make jokes about, you know, like, oh, Hitler was the fourth member, the unofficial fourth member, but… They're jokes. They're jokes. This shit now is getting real weird and the amount of… Is it anti-Hitler song?

Oh, no. Or is it for Hitler song? It's called hell Hitler. So, yeah. It's absolutely bonkers what's going on in the world today. I don't understand how this shit has flipped where people now are defending Hitler and it's writing songs. It's bonkers.

You're at an age where you think you can do no wrong. You can say no wrong, I guess. I don't know. Oh, this is a fucking, this is a laugh. A Reddit spokesman said the platform would remove uploads of the song and posts celebrating the message. Hate and anti-Semitism have absolutely no place on Reddit. That's all Reddit is is fucking hate.

Are you fucking kidding me? Especially that TSD cares for. Yeah, I know. Why don't they get on that fucking subreddit, man? Take down some of those messages. Struck a nerd with you all of a sudden. Jesus Christ, yeah. It says on Facebook, NBC News found over a dozen reuploads of Hilo Hitler music video.

Yeah, I don't get it. Ye was able to briefly upload the song to the popular music services, Spotify and SoundCloud before they were taken down. Spotify didn't respond to the outreach, but appears to have removed the song. But why? Because it's glorifying Nazis. I'm saying, what are you getting out of it? What's your purpose? Like I said, the world is is it's not going in the right

direction at this moment and it's scary. We're in trouble, bro. We are. I mean, I, I, I find myself not wanting to leave testy town because the real world is fucking gross. Testy town got their own problems. We got problems. Not like those.

Not like that. It's just crazy. Yeah. Some experts say these companies are not acting or responding fast enough and doing enough to prevent the posting of hateful content. Should you be able to post hateful content? I guess it's a private company, so you can say whether you want it there or not. It doesn't do any good. I mean, not that the guy needs any money, but it's just like, you figure, I mean, what's the risk? I mean, you can have record labels drop you. I mean, obviously it doesn't care.

Does not care at all. Does not care. I don't think the world and record labels are a thing of the, are dinosaurs at this point, record labels and artists. But you know, if you do like, if you endorse clothing or whatever, I mean, it doesn't matter just like music, I would think with anything they drop. Believe me, his bank account has been dramatically affected by his absolutely abhorrent behavior. Obviously he doesn't care though. So maybe there's something wrong with his...

He's mentally ill. Yes. Kanye? Yeah. Oh yeah, for sure. There's something going on. Yeah. There's a, yeah, they're calling on him to remove, on X to remove West from its platform because I guess it's still up on X, which is like, if you're Elon Musk and you already

have that Hitler thing, that Hitler Association, you might, you should leap to take that off. Yeah, that should be, yeah, you should get some people on that. Just to show you guys. Yeah. That wasn't – not true. Right. I don't know. I haven't heard the song either, Sunday. I don't know.

Apparently, you can't. You can't hear it. You got to buy it, I guess, but I don't know. Oh, yeah. It said SoundCloud sent an email that the audio streaming platform had taken steps to remove nearly 400 versions of the song. So I guess they just keep re-uploading it and they have to figure out how to use AI to identify and take it down whenever somebody puts it back up. Strange times, brother. Strange times, Sunday. I don't know. I don't know what to say about it.

I got good news. All right. My daughter had her baby a week old today. All right. That was my final thing, the biggest news of the week. That was my final note. Oh, I ruined it? A little bit.

I know you're a bit of a showman today. A little bit, yeah. Grandpa Flanagan. You're keeping the secret of what Sage is driving to promise. Yeah. I figure if I could stretch out long enough, then we could have a nice bowl to talk about. Baby Oliver came into the world last week and it's been awesome because they're staying with us.

Oh, they came back down too. Yeah, it originally wasn't the plan, but it just worked out better and it's just nice. It is a massive full house now, but it's awesome now. They're there permanently now. They're not going back. I told my wife, I was like, man, this was probably the last time everybody would be under the same roof. So let's enjoy this because just a few years ago, nobody was under the roof.

It was just me and my wife. Empty nest. Yeah. And now they all came back and they're all there for however long this lasts. It probably won't be that long, but it's pretty fucking cool. I was watching the Stanley Cup playhouse. I mean, the other daughter, your other daughter's gone too? She was a couple years ago.

She moved, but she's come back now. So everybody's back home now, both my girls and now the baby. How much do you love that? Oh, it's awesome. Yeah, I bet. It's awesome. I was watching the game last night, feeding the baby. Did it come right back to you? I wanted to see a video of that. Oh, yeah. Where. Yeah, I bet. It's awesome. I was watching the game last night feeding the baby.

Did it come right back to you? I wanted to see a video of that. Oh, yeah. Where's my phone? I don't have a video, but I got photos. I was just watching the game and just holding them. It was just fucking, it's just- It's a weird stage.

It's the best thing, man. It's not something like, I don't know what it's like to hold my own kid. I certainly won't know what it's like to hold my own grandchild. So it's like, it's not something I feel like you can really express in words. It's hard. Yeah. It's pure life. They have the smell to them. Like it's a pure smell. It's just like, it's crazy. You see the TV in the background? I was like, this is the Stanley Cup playoffs. One day our team, the Devils, will win it and we'll celebrate together.

I was telling him. It would be. Spit up on you. You know, what happens if, like, you know, ever since, well, it's not the season right now, right? They're out of the playoffs. Oh, in the background. It's the playoffs right now.

Okay. Had he been born before the playoffs and like, you know, the same thing happened, he came down to the house and then they just started winning. With the Devils? Yeah. And they're like, well, we got to bring him back sometime. Oh, I thing happened. He came down to the house and then they just started winning. With the devils? Yeah. And they're like, well, we got to bring them back sometime. Oh, I feel like. He's the lucky charm.

The baby's crying and he can't hear the TV. I put sugar in their car tank, their gas tank. We got some rum. Got a nice head of hair that kid. Oh yeah. A lot of hair that kid. Yeah, a lot of hair. Oh yeah, he's got a massive set of hair, but it's hard to describe like last night, he's on this schedule where he has to eat every three hours. So I'm like, I'm up.

Oh, so you're actually a benefit, you're help. Well, no, they haven't been. Because you're hours. benefit, you're help. Well, no, they haven't been. Because you're hours. They want to do it. They want it. You, so they're, they're taking care of it, but the baby, so I'm timing it. Like if I haven't heard him like make a sound, I'm getting all panicked. I'm like, I'm ready to like wake everybody up and be like, can we just

check, make sure he's okay? Because, you know, it's been three hours. I heard a peep from him. And then of course. It's called sleeping. Yeah, of course. I, I, I was, I was wrong. I shouldn't have woke everybody up.

And just to check and see if it was just sleeping. It's just crazy how like, like if you're holding, you know, your grandson and it's just like, how long ago was your own kids? It's just, it feels like it's, it doesn't feel that way though. I mean, it's just like, like my daughter just finished her first year of college. So, I mean, it's just like, it just goes like this. 20 years ago you were here. It just goes.

Yeah. It's crazy how fast it goes by. It does. Yeah. But to have them all home is a, that's a, that's a awesome little gift. Like it's, cause it's not going to last, you know, who knows how long they'll be here, but hopefully it's, they're here, who knows how long they'll be here, but hopefully they're here for a while, maybe till June.

Well, I'm sure your wife wants to spend some time with her, you know, needs some help too. Yeah, and you know, it's scary, you know, my daughters have never been around a little kid, so it's like, now you're just thrown into the fire, here, take care of this little baby. Here's a baby, something you have no experience in. Did you hear that sound? You're supposed to do that. It's like, I hope you go to sleep. With this, it's like you're calling the doctor, well, it's a baby, something you have no experience in. Did you hear that sound? He's supposed to do that. It's like everybody's like, I don't

want to sleep. With this, it's like you're calling the doctor. It's like they don't come with owners manuals. It's just like, this is all new. It's just like what they're doing is normal. So it's just like, you know, it's all relative at that when you first have your first child like that. Yeah. It just takes a little time to get confidence and not stress about it. Because you just don't know. It's like, are they eating enough? Are they doing this? Oh, he eats good. He doesn't spit up either. He has to spit up once. He keeps it down.

That's no Flanagan. He threw up when he was born. It's funny. I don't really have that, like I something, I dusted it off. Years ago I came up with something for the Sunday Jeff show that I never really. Never saw the light of day? Never saw the light of day, so I thought maybe we could try a little bit of it here. It's a very small sample of a game I called Sunday Snopes.

Do you ever hear of Snopes. Do you have here Snopes where you debunk shit? Yeah, sure. So I have some of the rumors that were flying around when we were younger, some about celebrities. I want to see if you were, if you, both you guys could tackle it seriously, and how would you debunk it if I said you must debunk this? What are the first things that leap to mind to debunk this rumor? And the first rumor is Rod Stewart. Oh, there we go.

You know what it was? Yeah, with the soccer team, second off the soccer team. Okay, now it's changed. The initial rumor was Rod Stewart had to have his stomach pumped after ingesting too much semen because he allegedly blew nine sailors, not soccer players, and ingested anywhere from a gallon to a pint of ejaculate. Let's see, sucking off elephants? A gallon would be a lot for 10 sailors. All right, well well here we go.

10 soccer guys. Like, okay, so if you had to debunk that, what's the first thing that leaps to mind? You're like, well, you know it can't be true because blank. Just because of what you said, gallons worth of, worth the seam in there. I mean, it's like chugging it down. Well maybe these sailors have been at sea for a while. I don't care how long they've been at sea. You ain't shooting off a gallon, bro. But it's nine of them.

You're not shooting off a gallon. I don't care if you got nine of them. You ain't shooting off a gallon. If you got nine of them, you might come close to a pint. Well, it's a gallon. You said a gallon. Uh-oh. Anywhere from a gallon to a pint of ejaculate.

But Sunday, your debunked theory is it has to be false because nobody would be able to have that much, just nine men. That much jizz? Couldn't. That much action? Couldn't produce that much. Fucking Peter North couldn't even do that. Look up Peter North.

I don't know who that is. Is that a football player? He's a well-known porn star for blowing giant wads and shit. You're upset that I don't know who he is. If you had nine of him, it was true. Brian, what is your first thing that leaps to mind if you're like, it can't be true because I would feel like because the stomach acid would break down the proteins immediately

and you wouldn't be able to pump anything out, like there just wouldn't be anything in there. It would just be all stomach acid mixed up with whatever. A gallon of it. So I'm surprised that you don't immediately just leave to mind. It's like, well, it's not poisonous. Why does he need to have his stomach pumped? Right?

That's a good point. I hadn't thought of that. He just rushed into the emergency room. He's like, I swallowed gum. It's not good. Yeah I hadn't thought of that. He just rushed into the emergency room. He's like, I swallowed gum. What doctor is going to be like, okay, he's in an emergency gurney. Bring him into that room. We got to pump his stomach. He's full of jizz.

That's a really good point. After hearing that since fifth grade, not once has it occurred to me, why would they pump the stomach? He obviously wanted it. Do you guys want to know the origin? We could finally pull back the curtain and you guys will find out where this rumor started. All right. No, I do not. It is fucking interesting as hell. Stuart says the story all started from a disgruntled publicist, Tony Toon, that's his real name,

Tony Toon. Stewart had fired him. Stewart fed the press a story in which, as a consequence of having an evening spent orally servicing a gang of sailors in a gay bar in San Diego, Rod had to be rushed to the hospital to have his stomach pumped. Stort continues, I have never orally pleasured even a solitary sailor and I have never had my stomach pumped either of naval issue semen or any kind of semen. This is a good sense of humor about it.

Yeah, I mean, oh God, he's been dealing with it since the 70s. I think by this time though, I mean, it just got to be well, well. I'm telling you, I don't care. If I've been dealing with a rumor of that kind of nature for decades, I don't know if I could be this- The cavalier of it, yeah. Especially if he does like a concert on an aircraft carrier. Now he was apparently fired because Stewart found him doing something, he walked in on him doing something illegal with, I guess at the time in some states, I think he was

the one who may have been ingesting some semen. Really? Yeah. Some son of a... Yeah, so he kind of flipped the tables on Rod. Mind if I join in? Have I told you lately that I love you? Have you guys have never wondered where that came from?

It's so old at this point. It's weird. It's like it's one of those word of mouth things. It was pre-internet. For us to hear that as kids, how far did that have to travel? Like Sunday did live next to us and he heard it. And he heard it, yeah. All right, I have another one. Sunday, what's the rumor about Richard Gere? This I don't know.

You've never heard this? Really? No. Wow. Well, maybe. Maybe if you tell me what it is. Okay, Brian, what's the rumor? That he pleasured himself by putting a hamster up his ass.

That I have not heard. And then he had to go to the emergency room. That's like Rod. Who would you take first if you're the doctor Rod or Richard? I think Richard Gere is probably more of the urgent care. Because he'll start gnawing his way out of the side of his fucking pelvis or something. Alright, Rod, my chart here says you just have a pint of semen. So we're going to take Richard first.

The other guy's bleeding from his anus and he started to chew through. So Gere was said to have arrived at the ER complaining of rectal bleeding. He was too embarrassed to provide an accurate history but provides the examining doctor a clue. There might be something stuck in my rear end. The examination reveals a non tender abdomen but a rectal exam shows blood coming from his anus. Something bit me. Mm-hmm. Speculum exam reveals bloody stool and a dead gerbil. Apparently though, the cardboard tubing from a paper towel roll was used and the rodent

had been forced into his rectum. Once the animal was in, the tube was pulled out. Thus, that was the big mistake. Yeah. You don't pull the tube out until you get the gerbil out. Oh, you think? Cut off his exit. Kay, how would you debunk this one, Sunday? I just don't know why it's even possible. I've heard that kind of stuff that people

do this kind of stuff. Those kind of people. Well, any kind of people. Just regardless, who would do such a thing? Who would ever, ever do such a thing? Now, Sunday, you are absolutely on the right track with your debunking theory. Let's hear Bryce, how would you debunk this one? I would debunk it by saying that unless there are medical records that Richard Gere can prove that it didn't happen. I think it happened.

You're not debunking it. No, I'm not going to debunk it. But Sunday's on the right road to debunking it because to this day in 2025, there has never been any documented proof that this activity with a gerbil is popular in that community. In that community. But even in any community, but I'm saying why would you, what would be pleasurable about it? Well, you don't know, but there's tons of instances of like guys going to the ER with

like light bulbs up their asses and dildos and cans of soup. You're putting them now in an area that they're on. They're sharp. They got teeth. But they're on drugs. These guys are on drugs. I don't care if you're on drugs, man. This thing is tearing you up like a fucking Wolverine inside. It's just like, it's just-

No, gerbils aren't cute. I used to have one in a ball. Not up your ass. No, no, but I don't know. I wouldn't automatically think it would go fucking Wolverine immediately. You're putting it in a, it's like- It would smother it, wouldn't it? It's just, you're in it. It's trying to survive now. There's no, no oxygen.

It's just, you know what I'm saying? It's just like, why would anybody? But yeah, that's one of the big reasons that most people shouldn't have believed it because this is not a practice that was ever really proven to be prevalent. Right. But you all know the origin. This is going to blow your mind. This is why it's called Sunday Snopes.

You sure we didn't do this? You would remember this Sunday, right? Richard Gere, I always thought we did along with the Rod Square. When I tell you how this rumor came to be, you're going to be like, holy fuck, as it started by a very famous person and other famous actor. During production on 1974's drama, The Lords of Flatbush, the cast took a lunch break and it almost descended into violence when Richard Gere spilled his food on Sly Stallone's brand new trousers.

Yo. This caused. What's with the hamster? Stallone's brand new trousers. Yo. This caused. What's with the hamster? This caused a simmering disdain from Stallone towards gear. Gear pointed the finger at Stallone because the director then fired Richard Gear from the Lords of Flatbush because they just couldn't get along. He was afraid they were going to have an actual throwdown.

Stallone has known for years that Gere thinks that he's the culprit, but he said with a smile, much like Sunday's smile, when we talked about prom earlier, a devilish smile, it wasn't me. Really? Yeah, but like he doesn't, it really sounds like it sounds like it was him. He's the culprit. What a weird thing to make up.

Oh yeah. And then for it to fucking literally go around the globe. I mean, I think you can go, like you can go down to Ethiopia. I bet you could ask kids, what's the Richard Gere rumor? As long as Sunday's not done. He's the one guy who doesn't know. I didn't even know he was like, he was even going to be in that movie, Richard Gere. Well, he got fired before it came out. He wasn't able to finish production. I think Henry Winkler then joined the cast and that led to Fonzie.

So without that rumor. We might not to Fonzie. So without that rumor. We might not have Fonzie. Fonzie's a. Without the Richard Gere gerbil rumor, we might not have, have never known Henry Winkler as Fonzie. What might have been? Thank God. I know.

Thank God. Thank God for the gerbil. That heinous rumor that cost Gere probably millions in lost roles. Thank you Sly. And I have one more like I said, I only had three because I never really fleshed us this this segment out You've had to heard this one, but I'm gonna ask what's the rumor about Gene Simmons. What was the big Rock? Oh the cow tongue. Yes Simmons had his tongue surgically lengthened with a cow tongue graft. You heard that, Brian?

I've never heard that, no. Okay. Well, you guys just flip flopped. Well, I mean, he wasn't ever, you're never really a Kish fan though, right? Not really, but I mean, still I do hear things. I'm surprised that, so he, he had his tongue lengthened by a medical procedure. With a bovine tongue. With a bovine tongue, right.

Okay. Now, how would you debunk this? What, what would you think would be the rigged reason why you shouldn't believe this? There's just no way he'd be able to do something like that. Why? It's just, I mean, a cow's tongue is like the width of his face. You know, it's just like it's 10 times bigger than what a human tongue would be and would look so awkward. He'd be walking around like fucking Jar Jar Banks.

Well, that's also if it took because there's a lot of times where people get like their own body rejects their own thumb or something, let alone a bovine tongue. It's like some foreign object is now sewn to your tongue. Thank you guys. It takes me to actually make me sit here and be like, dude, fucking think it through for a second because both of you are like, it could be done. It takes someone to stand over and literally be like, think about it. I got Teddy's tongue now.

The origin of the Gene Simmons bovine tongue, it is unknown to this day who started this rumor, but to debunk it, think of this, the average cow tongue is roughly 19.2 times larger than a human's. He'd be looking at his, you know, he might enjoy that I guess, if it was 19 inches longer. So Gene's skull and mouth would have to have been enlarged to carry the average bovine tongue, which can weigh up to three pounds. In comparison, a human tongue weighs in at just under 2.5 ounces. And what doctor is agreeing to perform this operation? Today?

Yeah, today. There might be. Get the fuck out of here. They're always doing like Brazilian butt lifts in other countries and apartments in the Bronx. I still think that you're going to have to search far and wide for the one doctor. That's like a Dr. Mengele type guy. Honduras surger. So again though, like if we had, as kids, if we had just sat there for a second and

just really just thought about it for a second or two. Yeah, you weren't thinking about it. Instead of being like, did you hear this? It's true. It's true. The Ozzie rumor, but I mean it's true. Who was the Ozzie, the bat? I mean it's true, but it's not, I mean it's,

he did, but he thought it was- Explain to our listeners what the Ozzie rumor is. That somebody threw a bat up on stage. Ozzie thought it was a rubber bat, but it was actually a real bat, so. Yeah. And he thought it was a rubber bat, but it was actually a real bat. So, but I mean, so it's true, but it's. He had to get, uh, the, uh, all the, uh, rabies shots in his belly and everything. Can't take it no more.

It's fucking sticking me with all these fucking deals. Yeah. I, I thought this would, could have been a good segment for the Sunday Jeff show, but I searched Sunday ideas on my phone and this one was all the way back to 2019 and I've been sitting there on news. Wow. Six years.

Six years in the mix. Breaking out the vault stuff now. It comes down to this. It's come to that. That, magazines. What else we got on the floor here? Yeah, that's all I got. That's all I got. That magazine's, what else we got on the floor here? Yeah, that's all I got.

That's all I got. You got anything, Sandi? I got nothing. I got nothing else. All right, well, tell them Steve, Dave, then, I guess.
