Tell 'Em Steve-Dave! #665: Pu$$y Cod (Feb 9, 2026)

Episode Overview

This episode of Tell 'Em Steve-Dave! features the usual crew—Bryan Johnson, Walt Flanagan, Brian "Q" Quinn—along with recurring guest Jimmy the Hair Guy. The conversation dives deep into the chaotic, often hilarious, realities of working at the US Postal Service (Jimmy's day job), as well as a revealing, tongue-in-cheek walkthrough of the “45 Questions Every Man Should Ask Before Getting Married,” since Jimmy is heading toward matrimony. The crew mix sharp critique, blue-collar war stories, and their trademark blend of crude, honest humor as they dissect everything from union protection, workplace shenanigans, and sex tables to relationship boundaries and wedding plans.

Tone & Takeaways

The episode showcases the TSD crew’s unique blend of candor, crass humor, and unfiltered honesty—never shying from each other's flaws or the absurdities of everyday life. In between the laughs (and gross-out stories), there’s a subtext around the erosion of institutions, the chaos of modern work, and the complexities of relationships, especially for self-professed man-children and underachievers.

Jimmy’s pending nuptials serve as both a punchline and a genuine opportunity for reflection, as the group probes whether he's truly ready to be a husband—and what it takes for any of them to shed old habits. Throughout, Jimmy’s transparency, self-deprecation, and the squad’s riffing on everything from mailroom orgies to the perils of OnlyFans make for peak TSD.

Summary for the Uninitiated If you missed this episode, expect tales of union abuses, post office debauchery, cross-examination of wedding readiness, and a masterclass in both enduring friendship and relentless ball-busting—culminating in a heartfelt debate about showing up for those you love, even if just to pop your head in at their wedding.
