Episode Overview

This episode of "Tell 'Em Steve-Dave!" blends personal stories, pop culture observations, and the unique, irreverent humor that defines the show. With the crew in high spirits, listeners are treated to offbeat tales from Walt’s DoorDash “Dash Diaries,” reflections on the disconnect between generations, an impromptu deep-dive into the culture and spectacle of international soccer, and musings on how cultural references and humor age. All of this is delivered through the trio’s signature banter, unvarnished opinions, and a willingness to roast each other and themselves.

Key Discussion Points and Insights

1. Announcements & Patreon Hype

• Walt opens by thanking fans for their support following his DoorDash admission, especially those requesting art commissions. He explains he’s holding off on new commissions to finish his comic book (30 pages left) and promises updates on art availability.
• Walt promotes Patreon exclusives: the returns of “Old Timey Radio,” and the upcoming game show “Daddy’s Boy” ("really unique as well as fun and maybe even a little tender").
  [00:00–01:52]

---

2. Soccer Fever, U.S. Pride, and Sports Talk

• Q praises the athleticism of soccer players (“all fucking super fit, hot young dudes”) and shares how listening to audiobooks helps ease lengthy car journeys.
  [01:52–03:12]
• The group debates the popularity and action level of soccer, Walt expressing confusion at how supposed super-teams like Brazil still eke out tight wins (1-0) and the lack of speed disparity being visible.
  [08:35–11:32]
• Q recounts U.S. World Cup advancement and a resurgence in American pride:
  • “You have not seen pride in the United States like this since, like, 2002.” [12:36–13:54]
• Discussion of international soccer fans in America, including stories about Scottish fans drinking Boston “dry," hyper-enthusiastic crowds, and the revelatory experience of foreign fans trying American food (“the look of pure enjoyment on their faces”—Q, [14:28]).
• Commentary on cultural divides (soccer not being “American,” body types differing between sports, the ‘honey shot’/camera cutaways to attractive fans, and the irreverence of foreign commentators).
  [15:23–20:19]

Notable Quote

"Look at the soccer players. They're all fucking super fit, hot young dudes."
—Brian Quinn [01:52]

"Are we letting everybody in our own country tell us that we suck? Like fuck you. Look at every country in the history of the world and then go fuck yourself."
—Brian Quinn [13:22]

---

3. DoorDash “Dash Diaries” and Adventures

• Walt shares two standout DoorDash stories:
  • Delivering "Playa Bowls" to a local strip club ("fantasies"), where his eyes can't adjust to the dark and he becomes "a living human mole," only to have the dancers seem uninterested and annoyed.

    "I become basically a living human mole." —Walt [02:13 & 37:24] "I barely can keep it together, like, right. I'm trying to be composed." —Walt [36:28]

  • A creepy encounter delivering pliers to a man waiting in a harbor parking lot, with Walt anxious about being ambushed:

    "Is this guy gonna dismember me with these pliers?" —Walt [42:03]

• General DoorDash observations: being treated poorly by both restaurants and customers, dealing with app quirks (wrong addresses, “priority” delivery upsells), and the unpleasantness of certain pick-ups:

  "It seems like Doordashers take it on the chin, man. Like, we're treated like shit by... restaurateurs." —Bryan [46:04]

• Chipotle as DoorDash’s top client—“It smells like body sweat.” [47:15]
  [32:39–49:23]

---

4. Generational Disconnect & Outdated References

• Reflection on feeling out-of-touch: Walt’s attempts to reference dance pop culture at a class get blank stares (Bob Fosse, Peaches & Herb, “Hell’s a Poppin”), leading to an idea for bringing in an 18-22 year-old “intern” to hand them contemporary pop culture references in real time.
• Discussion of the irrelevance of references like “Barbara Eden” (I Dream of Jeannie), “Taxi,” or “Family Circus” for younger listeners:

  "I think we might be losing listeners the more we embrace the past like that." —Walt [66:01]

---

5. From Funny to Tragic: Claude Lemieux and Old Store Stories

• Somber moment: discussing the tragic suicide of New Jersey Devils hero Claude Lemieux and CTE in sports.

  "You just don't ever think that, like, you think you, like—he was a hero in New Jersey. You just don't think that..." —Walt [24:27]

• Reminiscing about a neighbor who owned a tie-dye store and took his own life, and the incongruity of his “hippie” persona with his “prickly” attitude over parking.

---

6. Graduation Speeches, “Grit”, and the Old Grit Newspaper

• Bryan recounts attending Sage's graduation and the recycled content of speeches (“Believe in yourself. Move forward. There's no mountain you can't conquer.”).
• The word “grit” as advice feels irrelevant (“I don't think the youth are using grit anymore... I remember it as a newspaper in the 70s.”—Bryan [27:13]).
• Brief, amusing history of “Grit”—the kid-sold rural newspaper.
  [26:07–29:23]

---

7. Pop Culture, Social Media Stars & the Evolution of Fame

• The hosts Google and react to TikTok's most-followed creators, baffled by the dominance of attractive young women (“Is it only females on this list?”—Q [79:00]), and question if content or looks drive popularity.
• Q shares a positive real-life impression of TikToker Charli D’Amelio as both “sweet and so normal.”

---

8. Humor, References, and “Staying Relevant”

• Debate on the show’s humor: Should they update references? Could bringing in a member of Gen-Z help them “stay current”?
• Q pushes back: “Somebody’s got to keep [the old stuff] alive. Somebody’s got to keep the candle burning.” [67:52]

---

9. Other Notable Segments and Banter

• The gang riff on BlueChew’s marketing (“You’re not only having sex anymore, you’re putting on a show. Your wiener is no longer just an organ. It’s a star athlete.”—Bryan [59:45])
• Tangents about underwear ads from old Sears catalogs, female teachers’ attractiveness in retrospect, and audience diaper-wearing at concerts per Olivia Rodrigo.

  “She [Olivia Rodrigo] reveals she has smelled diaper wearing fans at shows.” —Bryan [69:58] “I'm not a fan of her calling out those fans. Oh, they're willing to put diapers on just to not lose their...” —Walt [70:48]

• Q recounts a humorous and slightly sad run-in with a once-attractive former teacher, now unrecognizable—and the inevitable awkwardness of these “celebrity” moments.

Episode Tone & Language

The tone remains reliably irreverent, self-deprecating, and candid—balancing earnest moments (about mental health, nostalgia, and culture) with plenty of banter, sarcasm, and off-color gags (about bodies, sex, and generational divides). The hosts often acknowledge their own increasing distance from youth culture, a theme they mine for both comedy and commentary.

---

For First-Time Listeners

This episode provides a classic TESD mix: real-life anecdotes, sharp-witted observations on pop culture past and present, the mundane rendered bizarre and hilarious, and the trio’s untamed, occasionally anarchic rapport. If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like when three slightly curmudgeonly pop-culture nerds confront DoorDash deliveries, strip club misadventures, the passage of time, and the bewilderments of TikTok—all in one sitting—this is your podcast.

Transcript

[Walt Flanagan]

Hey, Walt here with just a quick little announcement before the show starts, I want to first thank everyone who messaged me. Since the episode dropped where I mentioned I was door dashing. The amount of supportive emails I received really blew me away. And I received so many, I just couldn't keep up with them. It's really, really heartwarming to realize how many people care. And a lot of those emails were requested by art commissions from me. I read them all, but I didn't answer any of those emails, you know, I guess because I don't want to disappoint anyone. And there's. There were so many. And I'm working on my comic book that I wrote and drew. I have, like, 30 pages left, and I really, really want to finish it. And if I start to take on commissions before I finish the comic, I fear I'll never get back to it. But after I finish the 30 pages, I'm going to probably start to take on art commissions. But I'll make an announcement on the show when I'm ready to start doing that and how it will work. I really just don't want anyone to feel slighted if I didn't get back to you regarding commissions. And the other announcement was regarding some upcoming Patreon releases. I thought maybe I should try to hype the shows we're doing on there a little more. So this week is the return of Old Timey Radio. There's a small but loyal listener base for this show, so it's coming back this Tuesday. And the following Tuesday is the debut of a new game show I came up with called Daddy's Boy. I'm really excited for this one as it's really unique as well as fun and maybe even a little tender. And for the first episode, all tiers will be getting the video. So if you're not a subscriber, I really think if you sub this month for only five bucks, you're going to get the new show Daddy's Boy, as well as literally hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of other shows at your fingertips. All right, that's all I got for this week. Let's get started on the new tsd.

[Brian Quinn]

Look at the soccer players. They're all fucking super fit, hot young dudes.

[Walt Flanagan]

And I become basically a living human mole.

[Bryan Johnson]

No, no, no. I'm a fruit. I'm not looking.

[Walt Flanagan]

Tell them Steve Dave.

[Bryan Johnson]

Hello and welcome to this week's edition of Tell them Steve Dave. I'm gonna go around the table. Get him. How you stanking, Wal Flanagan?

[Walt Flanagan]

Are you stanking?

[Bryan Johnson]

And of course. Bq.

[Brian Quinn]

Hello. Hello.

[Bryan Johnson]

Who very impressed, came down here because he likes to be here as opposed to doing it via Zoom. And if we're doing this on a Saturday, on a sunny day when the June when the beach traffic is high,

[Brian Quinn]

was gonna ride the motorcycle down, cuz then you kind of, you know, skirt it a little bit. But then I saw it was really only 20 minutes normal.

[Bryan Johnson]

Running normal.

[Brian Quinn]

And I'm listening to some books on audio. So I was like, fuck it. So I'll sit in traffic, I'll listen to some books.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah, use the time wisely.

[Brian Quinn]

Use it wisely, man. A little alone time in the car.

[Q]

You prefer audiobooks over.

[Brian Quinn]

No, no, I much prefer reading. I only listen audiobooks of books I've read already.

[Q]

Yeah, okay. Yeah, I can't remember last audiobook I listened to.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah, you know, it's those Dungeon Crawler Carl ones. They're so good.

[Q]

I've heard that.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Q]

I just, I enjoy reading them.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah. No, no, I'm with you. I normally do, but I can't read and drive.

[Bryan Johnson]

But yeah, there is a groundswell of support for me in dungeon car. Dungeon crawl car.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

Well, one guy, I mean, the fact

[Brian Quinn]

that there's like another person on the planet who doesn't like it, I'm like, yeah, all right. I don't think it's for everybody. Yeah, you see, they just announced a TV show.

[Bryan Johnson]

Oh, really?

[Brian Quinn]

Peacock?

[Bryan Johnson]

Really? I mean I just. Reading that book, I'm like, this really lends itself to media.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

In every form.

[Brian Quinn]

I don't know how they're not doing it as an animated series. Like it seemed live action, seems expensive. But hey, it.

[Walt Flanagan]

Are you worried that once it becomes then a massive, massive hit where I

[Brian Quinn]

think it already is a massive cult

[Walt Flanagan]

character that you fell in love with

[Brian Quinn]

and I don't think. Well, the series will be over by the time that they make the show. There's only two books left and he's already written one of them, so. No, but it's like it's already a massive hit. It's a massive hit. Yeah.

[Q]

I think he writes like what, like a chapter a week?

[Brian Quinn]

He's a fucking maniac. He's like Brian Lynch. He just writes and writes and writes.

[Q]

I know if you're on the Patreon, you get every chapter as he writes it.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah, I think he's already ahead of the next book. Yeah. Which is cool.

[Q]

I was wondering if they might do it like real life with mixed like animation CGI in.

[Brian Quinn]

Oh, well, yeah, that would make a little. Every Movie today.

[Q]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Brian Quinn]

But anyway. Yeah. So you're. So your buddy got some guy.

[Bryan Johnson]

Some guy on Twitter.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

He was like. Yeah, I couldn't get into it either, till.

[Q]

Quinn.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah, I got. I hear you, bud.

[Bryan Johnson]

There you go.

[Brian Quinn]

What are you gonna do?

[Bryan Johnson]

There you go. I wanted to. We did some Patreon stuff yesterday.

[Brian Quinn]

How'd it go?

[Bryan Johnson]

It went really well. We went dancing. I just wanted to thank Joelle for setting that up. 13 percenter.

[Brian Quinn]

All right.

[Bryan Johnson]

Nice of her.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah. Did you. Was she there dancing with you?

[Bryan Johnson]

She was there dancing with us. Well, me. Yeah.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

I was cutting the rug.

[Brian Quinn]

But you danced to your wedding. You did a pretty good job.

[Bryan Johnson]

You know what? I don't know if she was just saying it, Walt. You may. You may have a better gauge. But she said I didn't do too bad.

[Walt Flanagan]

I agree with that. I don't think you did too bad at all. It was not too rigid and. No, not at all. It was a very fun afternoon. They couldn't have been sweeter, the ladies.

[Bryan Johnson]

Oh, they were so nice.

[Brian Quinn]

Oh, cool.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah, they're really nice.

[Brian Quinn]

I like nice people.

[Walt Flanagan]

Yeah. They allowed me to take Teddy, and they just fawned over Teddy. Teddy was exhausted from all the attention.

[Bryan Johnson]

They really were like, yeah, he was the star, for sure.

[Brian Quinn]

That's nice. I rem.

[Bryan Johnson]

I got Teddy to contend with you.

[Brian Quinn]

I don't even try anymore.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah, it was very nice of them. I thought that I would have looked like I had rigor mortis or something, but, no, not the case.

[Brian Quinn]

No, I. I remember your wedding, like, because you didn't tell any of us that you were. You were. You guys had broke. Done the. The dance. A disco type type dance.

[Bryan Johnson]

Boogie nights dance. Yeah.

[Brian Quinn]

And then when you started doing it, I was legitimately like, wow, man, look at him go. He's moving.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah. Yeah, look at me. I might. Might have a hidden talent. I never realized because I was always too. Too self conscious to go out there and dance, you know?

[Brian Quinn]

I'm sure we all do. Yeah, we all have hidden talents.

[Bryan Johnson]

Some hidden talent that hasn't been exploited just because we're.

[Brian Quinn]

I mean, how much is every of your day does every single person on the planet spend feeling like they're a piece of shit? I'm assuming it's. Yeah, I'm assuming everybody feels that way

[Bryan Johnson]

most of the times.

[Walt Flanagan]

I couldn't have felt more like a dinosaur, because I was. I spent the night before trying to bone up on my dance knowledge so I could drop some nuggets of really jokes and stuff.

[Brian Quinn]

How'd you do that?

[Walt Flanagan]

What do you mean, how'd I do it?

[Brian Quinn]

Well, what were you studying? I just kind of watching Fred Astaire routines.

[Walt Flanagan]

Well, no, it just kind of went in my head. I was like, all right, there's this. I know, and I'll make this maybe comment, but all my jokes fell so flat because, like, the world of dance has passed me by in terms of, like, I was. I dropped a Bob Fosse joke and nobody knew what the fuck I was talking about.

[Bryan Johnson]

I was laug.

[Brian Quinn]

I mean, I agree with you. It is unusual that a dance school doesn't know. You would think that there'd be a picture of Fosse on the wall.

[Walt Flanagan]

No, they. They were playing music that I had no recollection. I couldn't tell you.

[Bryan Johnson]

Pitbull and Cardi B, I think they did it. One of theirs, or it was Pitbull and then Cardi B and somebody else.

[Walt Flanagan]

I guarantee I was dropping Peaches and Herb. They're just going over everybody's head. It was like, it's just like launching scud that we're hitting nothing.

[Brian Quinn]

They just all fell in the ocean.

[Bryan Johnson]

I was going to reference Hell's a Popping in the Lindy hopping after I saw Walt crash and burn. I was like, I'm not going to mention that, elsa.

[Brian Quinn]

Popping like 100 years old.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah, like 1940 or something.

[Walt Flanagan]

Like, we could have been more ancient to these. To these girls.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah, they're all young, like our.

[Walt Flanagan]

You basically could have been like, we stepped out of the 1800s.

[Brian Quinn]

I tell you what. I bet you those girls watch, like, the big scene from Hell's a Pop and they'd be like, how did they pull this off?

[Bryan Johnson]

They got him. It's the most amazing dancing I think I've ever seen.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah, it's great.

[Bryan Johnson]

Fucking crazy.

[Brian Quinn]

That is funny.

[Bryan Johnson]

What do we got? Well, so I got here, oh, Father's Day.

[Brian Quinn]

What I said, were you guys in the wall? You in the World cup fever? You ended at all.

[Walt Flanagan]

I watched a little bit of Brazil play another team. Yeah, because get him. Left the TV on one afternoon and when left the building and I sat and watched it and I could not

[Brian Quinn]

care at all.

[Walt Flanagan]

I could not believe how because Brazil is supposedly one of these, like, super teams, like, the favor to win it, right?

[Brian Quinn]

Well, they're the only. They've won the most.

[Walt Flanagan]

And I still could not muster any excitement watching it. Nothing really happens. What I found. Maybe you can explain to me, as somebody who's watched soccer, how is one team, like, vastly superior to another?

[Brian Quinn]

Team well, faster, younger, quicker.

[Walt Flanagan]

Nobody seems faster, though. Like, there is no advantage. Like, nobody looks faster than anybody else on that field.

[Brian Quinn]

Oh, man.

[Walt Flanagan]

When you're. When they're running for the ball, both teams get there at the same exact time, it doesn't seem like there's no advantage. And I think that's why there's no ability to score like more than one goal.

[Bryan Johnson]

Well, then Qatar just lose like 6,

[Walt Flanagan]

0 or something, did they? Yeah, I'd like to watch that. I'd like to see a little bit

[Brian Quinn]

of action, like a pounding. Well, the US game was fucking great. Which one was that yesterday? Yeah, I watched all three games. Dude, I had the best day yesterday. Sat there, I had a six pack of beer. I was just watching the game on my couch alone. It was like the best. I watched all three games.

[Walt Flanagan]

Is USA going to take it, you think?

[Brian Quinn]

Well, they fucking advanced around. Do I think they're going to take it? Yes, I do think they're going to win, though. That would be amazing standing behind it. Yeah, well, some asshole on Twitter fucking like yelled at me because I. Because they were like, you think, you know, you think they're going to win? And I was like, what am I a fucking like, yeah, they might. What do you want me to sit here? Sit here and watch the game being

[Walt Flanagan]

like, we're going to lose?

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah, we suck.

[Brian Quinn]

This is the best the US Team has ever been. And you know, are they going to win? You know, they got a lot of big teams ahead.

[Walt Flanagan]

You know, games you have to win to win the World Cup.

[Brian Quinn]

Oh, God, I don't even know. You got to go rounds.

[Walt Flanagan]

Is it like 16 games? Is it? Or is it.

[Brian Quinn]

No, I don't think it's that many. I don't know. That's a great question. I don't know.

[Bryan Johnson]

You did ask Walter yesterday. You were wondering how long it was. You're like, how long does this last? It's 39 days long. Six. June 11th to July 19th.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

Okay.

[Bryan Johnson]

That was a long.

[Walt Flanagan]

Well, the Stanley Cup. The Stanley cup playoffs are longer than that.

[Bryan Johnson]

Are they?

[Walt Flanagan]

Yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

Okay.

[Brian Quinn]

Well, I would tell you if you had watched Morocco and Scotland yesterday, Morocco despite. Scotland did. I was hoping they were going to win, but Morocco, like, you would have seen people who are faster than the other team. It was like watching Scotland. Some, like one guy, Scotland would get the ball and then this rocket would come up behind him and just take it. It was like.

[Walt Flanagan]

Because I didn't see now in the team that Brazil. Brazil was playing when I watched them was. Was A team that had no chance.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

But they still only lost, like, one nothing. So I was like, yeah, I don't get this. Because I feel that they're so. Well, even in terms of speed and strength. I'm like, well, that's why no one's able to fucking score more than one goal.

[Brian Quinn]

It's. It's hard to score a goal because even Morocco was so much faster than Scotland. And, like, they only got one goal. You know what I mean? It's, like, just is what it is. It's hard to get that in. You got all those guys. Because speed stops mattering when you're at the end, and it's just a school bus full of fucking people standing in front of you. Know what I mean?

[Walt Flanagan]

I heard that the Scotland game was in Boston.

[Brian Quinn]

Yes.

[Walt Flanagan]

And I couldn't believe this. I heard a report in the radio that bars were reporting that with all the invading people from Scotland, all the fans.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

That they literally. Their taps ran out. They have no beer to sell because so many. Scotland.

[Brian Quinn]

The Scots came and took over. I heard. I have a buddy that was up in Boston for the game, and he's like, the good vibes between the people of Scotland and Boston are unbelievable. Like, they. Every bar you went into, they were fun, happy Scots drinking. He goes, it was great. And we loved having them.

[Walt Flanagan]

The Scots win.

[Brian Quinn]

The Scots did not win. But they're not out yet. They didn't win yesterday, and they still

[Walt Flanagan]

were in a good mood.

[Brian Quinn]

They're still in a good mood.

[Q]

Yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

Cause they're drunk.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah, they're drunk. They go to Miami next. And, like, all these people from Scotland are just following the games through the U.S. but there's something to, like, especially the U.S. game yesterday, man, you have not seen pride in the United States like this since, like, 2002. Like, everybody. The whole, like, Seattle turned out. It felt like people in the United States.

[Walt Flanagan]

Australia, right?

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

Is Australia a good team?

[Brian Quinn]

Australia's a good team. Yeah. But you saw. I. We just haven't seen pride in the United States for the past fucking 10 years.

[Walt Flanagan]

We just won the gold medal in hockey, remember, in the Olympics.

[Brian Quinn]

But what happened right away, people were like, they're Trump supporters.

[Walt Flanagan]

You don't think that's gonna happen if they win the World Cup?

[Brian Quinn]

It's not happening so far. I mean, it looked like. It looked like, like, 2002 there in Sal yesterday. It was awesome, man. It reminded me that, like, oh, yeah, there are people in this country who still actually love this country. Instead of just bitching about it all the fucking time. Are we letting everybody in our own country tell us that we suck? Like fuck you? Yeah, like fuck you. Look at every country in the history of the world and then go fuck yourself. And if, you know, I stopped short of being like, get the fuck out. But get the fuck out. I mean, go if it's so fucking great everywhere else, go there.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah. I don't understand that. Like, if America sucks and why the fuck is everybody desperately trying to get in?

[Brian Quinn]

I don't know. And I'll tell you what I'm sick of, like the fucking. The general direction of everybody's feelings on this country being like, it's, it's, it's a bad place, you guys. I mean, you know me. I've never given up on the United States.

[Bryan Johnson]

Patriotic to the.

[Brian Quinn]

I've been called delusional for my love of the United States, which by the way includes the cunts.

[Bryan Johnson]

Right.

[Brian Quinn]

Because at least they're American.

[Q]

I've been, I've been enjoying watching footage of foreign fans trying American food.

[Brian Quinn]

Oh, they love it, right?

[Q]

Oh, yeah. Like I was watching one of this Japanese guy enjoying like a piece of like a Texas cooked beef rib and was just.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Q]

Like the look of pure enjoyment faces when they're trying this food.

[Brian Quinn]

It's cool. And I like that the media has been reporting on it.

[Q]

Yeah.

[Brian Quinn]

Because the half. The problem is like, you could pick up anything up by any handle and this fucking media has picked up the United States from the worst hand. So it's nice that they're actually amplifying people from other countries being like, oh shit, America's awesome.

[Q]

You know, I remember I was years ago, there was a series where they would give British kids, like, American food.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Q]

And they were so astounded by actually tasting, like, real food.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

Real food.

[Q]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

Well, is that real food?

[Q]

They say that the food over. They say the food over in England is pretty much.

[Brian Quinn]

It's probably less healthy here, that's for sure. But it tastes better.

[Q]

They say it's very bland. And the only food that actually has taste in England is like stuff that people have brought in.

[Walt Flanagan]

They put a lot of vinegar in, don't they, don't they do a lot

[Bryan Johnson]

of like fries and vinegar or something?

[Q]

Yeah, they put that on their other chips.

[Bryan Johnson]

Chips. Yeah. I enjoy watching the crowds of the, in the soccer, the soccer games because it's a lot of times it's like these super hot Latino chicks who have customized their shirts so their boobs are popping out.

[Brian Quinn]

Awesome. And like, and I love that the Cameramen working the soccer games are like,

[Bryan Johnson]

I know what they're doing.

[Brian Quinn]

Find them, show them. They call it the honey shot. Every other sport has given up on the honey shot. Not soccer.

[Bryan Johnson]

No. I've seen a lot of honey shots.

[Brian Quinn]

Soccer is like, come on in, boys award is fine. Yeah. That's because it's not a sport that's constrained by US views on how things should be.

[Bryan Johnson]

Well, it's not a. Like I think when you think soccer, like I don't think America.

[Brian Quinn]

No.

[Bryan Johnson]

Soccer, I think like England. I think like South America.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah, yeah. They're not giving up the honey shots down there.

[Bryan Johnson]

No way. No.

[Brian Quinn]

So hot down there. It's all they got.

[Bryan Johnson]

I know their weather girls are like half naked.

[Brian Quinn]

That's great. Yeah, it's great. And by the way, like, look at the soccer players. They're all fucking super fit, hot young dudes. So it's not like. Yeah, it's not like it's, it's a one sided thing. Anybody could watch it and be like, that was good.

[Walt Flanagan]

They all have the same body type.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

Like super thick soccer players, but like, you know, the. Not an out. There's not an ounce of fat on them.

[Brian Quinn]

They're running all day.

[Walt Flanagan]

But like, you know, like this is

[Brian Quinn]

the body you get when you sit all day watching soccer.

[Walt Flanagan]

But you watch other sports and you'll see a little bit of varying body types. Like an. In football, you know, you got your linemen.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

You know, and you got your linebackers with like these big necks and these, these tree trunk legs.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

And you got your wide receivers who are sleek and agile and. But in the soccer players, they all have the same body type.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

Like just not like an ounce of fat on their bodies.

[Brian Quinn]

Asses you could break walnuts on.

[Walt Flanagan]

And big, big thighs. They all have like very defined thighs. Right on from, I guess kicking, kicking and running, right?

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah, yeah. Running back and forth and back and forth. Yeah, it's, it's a workout, man.

[Brian Quinn]

It's cool. I went to that Kansas City Currents game last month and, and I was like, man, I forgot how much I love watching soccer. And now like I threw myself back into the World Cup. It's just been a blast.

[Bryan Johnson]

I think the only soccer game I've ever been to is with you. Like, remember we're not in la.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah. We went to the Galaxy. We went to a Galaxy game. Yeah, yeah. I got good pictures of us.

[Bryan Johnson]

Oh yeah.

[Brian Quinn]

From that game. Yeah, I'll dig them up.

[Walt Flanagan]

Even in baseball, the body types are different. You had your, your Big hitters. Your home run hitters were much bigger dudes.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

And then you had your shortstops who were skinny and lean.

[Brian Quinn]

It's just a different skill set.

[Walt Flanagan]

Like, you know, but, yeah, soccer players all look the same. They're like. There's no, like.

[Brian Quinn]

Like, well, no matter what refrigerator Perry out there, whatever position you're playing, you have to. You have to dash and be nimble. Yeah. Harry. Ain't he moved like a refrigerator? That's why they called him that.

[Q]

You think if you change that rule and it might get more Americans at. There's one refrigerator party type guy on each team.

[Walt Flanagan]

There is footage. I don't know if you've ever heard of a player, a hockey player called Ovechkin. He's like one of the old. He just broke the record for the most goals in the history of the NHL. Record. There's footage of him playing soccer with his home country, Russia, like, I guess in the exhibition game. Yeah, he's. He's not bad, but he literally looks like a dad playing with, like, 10 year olds.

[Brian Quinn]

Oh, yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

With professional Russian.

[Brian Quinn]

Because he's so big.

[Walt Flanagan]

He is so massive. He looks like. He looks like he was chipped out of ice because he looks like his skull is so massive.

[Brian Quinn]

Really?

[Walt Flanagan]

He looks like a Neanderthal caveman. Right. And they're bouncing off of him because they can't take the ball away from him because he's so huge. Yeah. A lot of hockey players are into soccer because a lot of them from Europe, so. Oh, wow.

[Brian Quinn]

There he is.

[Q]

Look at this.

[Bryan Johnson]

Oh, my God.

[Brian Quinn]

Oh, this is great.

[Q]

Great.

[Brian Quinn]

Oh, that's great. It looks like if I started playing soccer with kids. Oh, that's great.

[Walt Flanagan]

This is one of the greatest hockey players that's ever lived. And look what he's doing out there.

[Brian Quinn]

I love soccer field.

[Bryan Johnson]

It gets crazy.

[Brian Quinn]

Professional soccer players, it's throwing them around. I mean, they're bouncing off him. You nailed it.

[Walt Flanagan]

Like Andre the Giant, right?

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah. That's funny. Well, the Australians, they said like, dude, these, these. The soccer. The announcers, the experts that they interview in between, and they have the halftime shows and stuff like that. They're all foreign guys. They don't give a fuck. They make jokes. It's so. It's like, it's so much fun to even watch them. They'll make fun of the teams. They even said, like, halfway through, they're like, australia's losing. So now watch how physical they get because these are Australians. Like, and that's like. You're like, oh, wow. Can I even say that. And then the Australians come out and they start knocking everybody around and getting fouls and beating. And they're doing like rugby moves on players and the thing. And they're like, that's just what Australians are like. And I'm like, this is great. We can say things like that.

[Walt Flanagan]

And I knew that they do. They start issuing the cards.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah, they start issuing cards.

[Walt Flanagan]

What's the bad cardigan? What's the worst card?

[Brian Quinn]

Yellow. Two yellow cards will get you out of the next game. A red card is. You're out. You're just out for the.

[Q]

They red card at somebody the other day. Because they cover their mouth when they. Yeah, there was a race.

[Walt Flanagan]

There's a new rule, right?

[Q]

Yeah, yeah. So the guy covered the mouth and said something to one of the other players and they red carded him, which sucks because. And then all. Is all it's weird is it's on video and then all the teammates come and they're trying to argue with the. The rep. Because they even went to the. Whatever their version of instant replay is.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah. Because he did do it. But even the player that he said it to was like. Because the reason they did that is because, like, the trash talking was going into places that made some people cry, I guess. So they. So they now they're not allowed to cover their mouth when talking to members of the other team in an adversarial situation. And this guy said something to the other guy. The other guy pointed out, but even he said, well, it wasn't like a rac abuse or anything, but he just broke the rule. So he got a Red Bull.

[Walt Flanagan]

So you know what? That's going to happen. And like, ingenious players will start taking like ventriloquist lessons so they can throw their voice.

[Bryan Johnson]

So another guy says it.

[Walt Flanagan]

That's what I would do.

[Brian Quinn]

You could still do it. It's only. It's only.

[Bryan Johnson]

That's how badly you want to insult them.

[Brian Quinn]

You want to.

[Walt Flanagan]

Yeah,

[Q]

My dad said they only threw out one person.

[Walt Flanagan]

His dad's working at the World Cup.

[Brian Quinn]

Oh, yeah.

[Q]

Yeah. He said they only threw out one person that first game.

[Walt Flanagan]

That's amazing.

[Q]

And it was like four the next game. But yeah, like a football night.

[Walt Flanagan]

Yeah, that's. That's absolutely.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Q]

I'm sorry. Locked up. Locked up.

[Brian Quinn]

Locked up.

[Q]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

Okay.

[Q]

But he goes, yeah, normally.

[Walt Flanagan]

Can we mention what your dad's doing? Because I thought it was fascinating.

[Q]

They. They have him up in a.

[Walt Flanagan]

This is crazy.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Q]

They have them up in a. A room with binoculars, like Looking for trouble.

[Brian Quinn]

God. Bird dogging people.

[Q]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

He can make the call, though, to the snipers that are up there and

[Q]

be like, the state police.

[Walt Flanagan]

But he could be, like, you know, take the shot.

[Brian Quinn]

Where's he working? He's in medlife.

[Bryan Johnson]

He has his finger on the button.

[Q]

I'm not allowed to disclose that.

[Brian Quinn]

Okay. Yeah, well, can you disclose whether he can get me tickets?

[Q]

He can't get me tickets. Like, to get us tickets for the. The stadium series.

[Walt Flanagan]

It was an absolute fucking clusterfuck.

[Q]

He doesn't.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah.

[Q]

He doesn't have that drive to deal with, you know, the tenacity.

[Walt Flanagan]

Yeah. Could you imagine that, though? Like, you know, you've just gotta watch through binoculars and just watch people to

[Brian Quinn]

look to see if they're honey shot after honey shot.

[Walt Flanagan]

God forbid you get shots and somebody's setting off a bomb.

[Bryan Johnson]

What were you doing?

[Brian Quinn]

Did you see the Brazilian girl?

[Q]

We saw him with MJ in Key west, so,

[Walt Flanagan]

yeah, I would. That's a lot of responsibility, though.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah, I'm sure he's not the only guy. I mean, the whole stadium's not his own.

[Walt Flanagan]

Does he have, like, one seating section that he's responsible for?

[Q]

I. I didn't get into the deals.

[Walt Flanagan]

How could you not ask these questions?

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah, that's what I want.

[Walt Flanagan]

Your father is.

[Q]

Well, I'm gonna wait till I see him tomorrow.

[Walt Flanagan]

Okay.

[Q]

Like, you know, over the phone, we try to be quick and easy.

[Walt Flanagan]

Because you think someone's listening?

[Q]

No, just because he usually calls right before he's gonna go to bed, and then he starts getting tired, so.

[Bryan Johnson]

All right, you were talking about Hockey Walton. And we didn't give a certain guy his due. Claude Lemieux.

[Walt Flanagan]

Oh, yeah. He passed away.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

He's a former. Former New Jersey Devil. Con Smythe winner. Yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

He offed himself in his furniture store.

[Brian Quinn]

No.

[Q]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

That was stunning. That was.

[Brian Quinn]

How'd he do it?

[Bryan Johnson]

I don't know. I don't know if they said, oh, that's rough.

[Brian Quinn]

How old is he?

[Walt Flanagan]

58.

[Q]

Wow.

[Brian Quinn]

I don't know what was going on. That sucks.

[Walt Flanagan]

I wonder if there was some. Probably some CTE going on. He played in an era where, like.

[Brian Quinn]

Oh, no helmets.

[Walt Flanagan]

No, he had a helmet, but it still was like, he was. He took a pounding in his career.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

Like, he. He gave. Dished it out, but he also got it, too. And I wonder if there might be some CTE issues that might.

[Bryan Johnson]

Well, that's. It says right here, his family has shared that his brain is being donated to the Boston University CTE Center. To research the long term effects.

[Q]

So it might not.

[Walt Flanagan]

Yeah, that's terrible. Yeah. You just don't ever think that, like, you think you, like, he was a hero in New Jersey. You just don't think that, like, it says he was.

[Bryan Johnson]

Like, what could be wrong?

[Q]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

One day you're just not gonna, like, want to be here. That's crazy.

[Brian Quinn]

No, he was 60.

[Q]

Says he was found hanging at the back of the warehouse.

[Bryan Johnson]

Oh, God. Remember the guy by his son? Oh, that is the worst. Like, I would never want my family member to fight me, you know?

[Brian Quinn]

No. I saw you put a note on the door.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah. Don't come in.

[Walt Flanagan]

Remember the guy when. At the original stash. The very first stash at 69 Mammoth Street.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

Street there was like a tie dyed hippie store right next door, didn't he? Yeah, he did.

[Brian Quinn]

That's right.

[Bryan Johnson]

The hippie guy. Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

In his store in the back.

[Bryan Johnson]

And his daughter found him.

[Brian Quinn]

Wow. Never would have remembered that if you didn't bring that up. That's crazy.

[Walt Flanagan]

Oh, yeah, I remember that. I remember hearing that. That guy, he was.

[Brian Quinn]

I don't like that guy.

[Walt Flanagan]

He was kind of prickly.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

I didn't like he really.

[Walt Flanagan]

Yeah, his main concern was like, cars parking in the back of the.

[Brian Quinn]

He was huge.

[Bryan Johnson]

Until, like, you're an inch over on my spot.

[Walt Flanagan]

Yes. Not very hippie like.

[Bryan Johnson]

No, not at all.

[Walt Flanagan]

There are no spots, bro.

[Bryan Johnson]

It should be cool.

[Walt Flanagan]

Every spot a universal spot.

[Brian Quinn]

There should be no parking lines.

[Bryan Johnson]

It's a human spot, bro.

[Walt Flanagan]

Everywhere.

[Bryan Johnson]

Is any of this working? No.

[Walt Flanagan]

Yeah. Get the out of my parking spot. Paying big money for that parking spot. Not for you to park there.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah. I don't want him to kill himself, but he was a surly dickhead to me. He was.

[Bryan Johnson]

He really was. I went to Sage's graduation.

[Brian Quinn]

How'd it go? Was it as boring as regular graduations?

[Bryan Johnson]

It really was. It was like there was a salutatorian, a valedictorian, and then like a faculty member who all delivered speeches.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

It was almost an identical speech. It was like, believe in yourself, move forward.

[Brian Quinn]

What the fuck else are they gonna say?

[Bryan Johnson]

I don't know. I mean, I've seen. I've seen some decent ones, but they're usually by celebrities, you know?

[Walt Flanagan]

Do you think there's anybody moved in? Those countless speeches across the country every June that are given. Do you think that anybody is like,

[Bryan Johnson]

takes it to heart.

[Walt Flanagan]

Takes it to heart. Because it just feels like a word salad of like, you know, you can do it.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

You know, Believe in you. And there's no mountain you can't fucking conquer.

[Bryan Johnson]

And yeah, that was it. Yeah, that was all it. That's basically.

[Brian Quinn]

Remember Bill Murray and Rushmore where he's like, take aim at the rich kids and take them down. It's like the best speech. And then they're like, they give him shit about it. And he goes, it, my name's on the building or something like that. Yeah, yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

There was a. It was. I mean, speaking of like mentioning like using terms that people don't really recognize anymore, this one, the faculty member kept saying, like, you have to show grit.

[Walt Flanagan]

And it's just like grit is a word that's not.

[Bryan Johnson]

I don't think the youth are using grit anymore now. I think they are like, I remember it as a newspaper, like in the 70s.

[Walt Flanagan]

I don't know if you're using the word.

[Q]

Yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

Grit. Like, you know. Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

Like grind it out.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah. Motivation. Yeah. Like true grit. In sports.

[Walt Flanagan]

They still use that word.

[Bryan Johnson]

Do they really?

[Walt Flanagan]

A lot.

[Bryan Johnson]

Oh, okay.

[Walt Flanagan]

The gritty players and gritty from Philadelphia. Yeah, yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

Forgot about gritty. Yeah. I was just like. When she said grit, I was like, I wonder how many of these kids are like, oh, I know a grit.

[Walt Flanagan]

Of course, none of them are thinking of the newspaper like you were

[Q]

that

[Walt Flanagan]

disappeared from the landscape in 1979.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah, yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

Of course not.

[Bryan Johnson]

Do you remember grit?

[Brian Quinn]

The word grits?

[Bryan Johnson]

No. The newspaper grit?

[Q]

No.

[Bryan Johnson]

Probably it was before your time.

[Walt Flanagan]

It was only sold by children.

[Brian Quinn]

Okay.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah. You had to order the papers and they would send them to you by mail. And it was like this. It was almost like a farmer's almanac type paper. You know, what was the point of it? I guess it was a scam.

[Walt Flanagan]

It was a thing where you had. The kids had to buy the papers and then it was their responsibility once they got them to sell them to their community and go to door to door, would you buy grand.

[Brian Quinn]

What was like an article in Grit?

[Walt Flanagan]

It was like a nationwide newspaper that I think that had. That could cull other articles.

[Brian Quinn]

Okay. So this is what's going on in

[Walt Flanagan]

the world, like in other parts of the country that were almost like royalty free. Articles that compiled the newspaper.

[Brian Quinn]

Okay.

[Walt Flanagan]

And only children were supposed to be delivering it. And it was. A lot of comic book ads were devoted to grit.

[Brian Quinn]

Nice.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah, it's. It says Grit was historically famous as America's greatest family newspaper. A weekly rural publication founded in Williamsport, Pennsylvania in 1882. Famous for its nationwide network of boy door to door salesmen. It transitioned in 2006. It's a modern, bi monthly lifestyle magazine.

[Walt Flanagan]

Is it still going on? When did it finally close?

[Brian Quinn]

Its remains active. Continues to celebrate country lifestyle.

[Bryan Johnson]

How would you even get it?

[Brian Quinn]

That's probably digital.

[Walt Flanagan]

Probably. Yeah. Digital now.

[Bryan Johnson]

Oh, yeah, you're right.

[Brian Quinn]

Grit.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah, that's the first thing I thought of.

[Q]

I think it's a magazine.

[Walt Flanagan]

Does GRIT have a. Is an acronym or is it just. Is it G R I, T stand for something? Or is it just truly just.

[Q]

Maybe they saw them or they read the book True Grit and could be.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah. No, it doesn't say. It's an acronym for anything.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah, an upbeat rural title. Good. We need upbeat.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah. Some good articles, you know.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

Not all this, like, downer and shit. Every time you open up the paper, it's a downer.

[Walt Flanagan]

I was talking about how I felt old yesterday with some of my. My references. I even felt even older because after we left last week, I investigated to see if Masters of the Universe was on my VC box.

[Brian Quinn]

Oh, okay.

[Walt Flanagan]

And it was.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

So I started watching it on your recommendation. And I'm watching it, and it starts out, and immediately opening minute, I'm like, huh, this is an odd choice. I'm going. Because it's just very cheap looking. Like these two villains are talking and the dialogue is really bad. And I'm like. And then it cuts to another scene where, like, there's outer space.

[Bryan Johnson]

And I'm like, did he dungeon Karl? Did he dungeon Karl Crow yet?

[Brian Quinn]

You were watching the old vers.

[Walt Flanagan]

And then it cuts to, like, I guess is the Prince Adam. I'm like, oh, it's weird. He doesn't have blonde hair. I'm going, you know, he's got brown hair and he pulls out and he has an. He doesn't have a sword. He has an. An axe. And I'm like. I'm like, a half hour into this. I'm like, I cannot believe. I cannot believe that he man hasn't shown up or Skeletor hasn't shown up. And I'm like, this dialogue is so bad. I'm going, what the is wrong with Q? This is insane. I go, I cannot believe how horrible this is.

[Brian Quinn]

Okay?

[Walt Flanagan]

And then I'm like. Finally, I'm like. I go, what the fuck is this? And I hit the back button. And it was one of the. It was called Master of the Universe. It was one of those, like, fake, like.

[Bryan Johnson]

Oh, like an asylum.

[Walt Flanagan]

Yes, it was an asylum.

[Brian Quinn]

It was a new one.

[Walt Flanagan]

It was a brand new. It looks like. It looks like.

[Brian Quinn]

Hold it up. Get him Please.

[Walt Flanagan]

The poster of Master of the Universe looks like he man to me. So I'm like, oh, this has got to be it.

[Brian Quinn]

Okay.

[Walt Flanagan]

So, yeah, I was. So I'm so old to the point now, I get fooled into thinking, like, these fake movies are the real movies. Busters. Yeah. Yeah, that's it.

[Brian Quinn]

Master of the.

[Bryan Johnson]

1.9 out of 10. 1.9.

[Walt Flanagan]

I watched it for like, a half hour before I realized I was watching the wrong movie.

[Brian Quinn]

Okay. Did you find the right one or. It's.

[Walt Flanagan]

It wasn't on there. The VC box is. Has. I think people are cracking down. There's not a lot of.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah, well, you haven't kept a lid on it. I mean, you're doing your part to let everybody know about it.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

They haven't gotten any new, like, camcorder movies.

[Brian Quinn]

Okay. Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

But, yeah, I still haven't seen the real Masters of the Universe yet, but the Asylum one. Yeah, I wouldn't recommend it. Don't waste your time.

[Bryan Johnson]

How often do you feel a disturbance? Like in the Force, like, I'm reading the book you recommend. I'm like, what the fuck is wrong with Q? I was watching the movie. What the fuck is wrong with Q? Like, you're like, oh, somebody's talking about me.

[Brian Quinn]

I mean, people have been talking about shit about me. I'm used to it. Oh, boy.

[Bryan Johnson]

Oh, do you have any doordash stories this week? Well, to get them. Came up with. With a jingle for you.

[Walt Flanagan]

Really? Let's hear it.

[Brian Quinn]

All right.

[Bryan Johnson]

All right. You ready?

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

Tell us about it.

[Brian Quinn]

What?

[Walt Flanagan]

Dash Diaries.

[Bryan Johnson]

What is Scrabble anyway? Die Diaries.

[Walt Flanagan]

I didn't authorize a hemp little long. See your ID Diaries. Very sultry.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah, very sultry.

[Walt Flanagan]

Which is good because I only have two. Two. Store one. They're not even really all the stories, but it was interesting, though, so. Have you ever heard of a place called Playa Bowls?

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah, sure. We should. We shoot. I did. We just shot there the other day.

[Walt Flanagan]

They just sell, like, fruit, right?

[Brian Quinn]

No, no, they do like. Like drinks. They do bowls of, like. What's that healthy shit? Fruit. No, they do that as well. There's quinoa bowls. Yeah, they're like. Yeah, we shoot there, like, once a season. Those guys actually a fun company to work with. Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

So I get an order. They're two separate orders at the same Playa Bowls. And it's right around the corner, and they're going right around the studio. The TSD Town Studios. It's on Highway 36. It's on a business and I'm like, okay. And it's on the opposite side of the studio and I'm looking around for like where the fuck is this place? Turned out it was fantasies.

[Bryan Johnson]

Oh really?

[Walt Flanagan]

Yeah, it's, but it's like 2 o' clock in the afternoon on a Wednesday.

[Brian Quinn]

Other than the tuna salad they're reading on stage.

[Bryan Johnson]

Last time we were there really.

[Walt Flanagan]

So I, I got, I take the, the, the one order into the, the to the place and I've never been in there so I don't know what to expect.

[Bryan Johnson]

Who were you with at the time or is it just you?

[Walt Flanagan]

No, dad was there. She's not going in though.

[Bryan Johnson]

No, but I don't know if she's like, you're not going in there.

[Walt Flanagan]

Well what'd she get turned down? The, the 17 bucks. So I go in and I've never been in there and it was so dark in there like. And my eyes couldn't adjust because I just went in from the sun. So I'm thinking like, well at least I'm going to get a, not only a tip, I'm also going to get a free, free rifle. Yeah. A little fringe benefit and, but I can't see anything though as I walk in because my eyes just will not adjust to the lighting. So I can't blind. So I'm like, oh fuck, you gotta be kidding me. Like I'm not even able to sneak a peek at nothing. So some lady walks up and because I need a PIN number to give it to her and that means she's

[Bryan Johnson]

got too many times, right? If you need a PIN number, I

[Walt Flanagan]

don't know why that like I guess if you report you didn't get something

[Bryan Johnson]

too many times, too many times.

[Walt Flanagan]

I think that they enforce that like oh, if you want to order anymore, you're gonna have to give the driver a PIN number so they could prove we dropped it off.

[Bryan Johnson]

Right?

[Walt Flanagan]

So to me immediately as this, as this lady comes over to me, she's not wearing a bikini, she's wearing like lingerie, like a one piece lingerie.

[Brian Quinn]

Okay, go on.

[Walt Flanagan]

And I like immediately revert back to like a goofy 10 year old boy

[Q]

who's just like,

[Walt Flanagan]

oh man. Oh shit.

[Q]

What?

[Walt Flanagan]

You're playing your pin number.

[Q]

6969.

[Walt Flanagan]

I, I, I barely can keep it together like right. I'm trying to be composed.

[Brian Quinn]

So funny. I've got no game.

[Walt Flanagan]

It's like a gomer pile like 25 and high.

[Brian Quinn]

Out of her mind. Wal. Yeah, I was thinking of a weed and Wal's like

[Bryan Johnson]

Both of them.

[Walt Flanagan]

And I said, ah, I just need your pin. And she says it, and she goes, where's the other one at? She's not. She's not very friendly. And she's like, where's the other one at? And I was like, oh. I go, the other orders for. Also for here. Because, one. You don't know that until you've delivered

[Brian Quinn]

the first order, okay?

[Walt Flanagan]

And I was like, all right. I'm like. In my head, I'm like, oh, I get to come back in. Maybe my eyes will have adjusted by that point. So I.

[Brian Quinn]

The car closing your eyes.

[Walt Flanagan]

But what happens is I go back outside into the sun, and it's even ten times worse now. And I become basically a living human mole. It's like my eyes have shrunk now to the size pebbles, and with these chompers, I'm sure, like, I look like a mole. So I go back to the car, I say. I was like, yeah, the other one's for here, too. Too. So that's good.

[Brian Quinn]

Sure it is.

[Bryan Johnson]

Sure it is.

[Walt Flanagan]

I go, so that's good, because now we're done with this order after this. And so I go back in, and it is even worse now that the sun, like, like it. I'm, like, basically blind. And so I'm like. And that. That person is gone now. There's only one dude in the whole place, like, sitting at the bar. There's nobody else.

[Brian Quinn]

Whoa. Hey.

[Walt Flanagan]

I mean, it is. It's. I've never been in there, so it's like I was expecting, like, you know, I. I've seen that. Motley Girls, Girls, girls. So I'm thinking, like, these girls are going to be like.

[Bryan Johnson]

You thought it was gonna be like, an 80s music music video?

[Brian Quinn]

Yes.

[Walt Flanagan]

I thought they're gonna be, like, inserting things. It was not the case at all.

[Q]

Well, if you had gone with us when we went last time, you would have known.

[Walt Flanagan]

I thought it was going to be debauchery on the stage.

[Bryan Johnson]

Depression, a strip club, afternoon shift in

[Q]

the middle of the week.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah, it's not Motley Crue.

[Q]

Oh, it's a Motley Crue, all right.

[Brian Quinn]

Everybody's just hanging on in that scenario.

[Bryan Johnson]

Oh, yeah.

[Q]

So the. The.

[Walt Flanagan]

So the. I don't know what to do because there's no one to address, you know, where, where, like, what. Who to get the pin from. I know. Unless. And I know it's not the guy sitting at the bar who ordered it, because the name is Sandy on it. Unless, you know, I guess a guy could be called Sandy. But I'm assuming it's an. It's a. It's a dancer. Finally, somebody walks over and they are so angry. The girl is just like. She's like, just not in a good mood. Not like, today's not the day to fuck around. So I'm like. I'm like, huh, fruit, huh?

[Bryan Johnson]

No, you didn't.

[Walt Flanagan]

Oh, my God.

[Q]

Melons.

[Walt Flanagan]

She just looked at me. What?

[Bryan Johnson]

No, no, no. I'm a fruit. I'm not looking at you.

[Walt Flanagan]

I was like, huh, I guess.

[Bryan Johnson]

Fruit, huh?

[Walt Flanagan]

She just was 36, 48. Oh, all right, bye.

[Bryan Johnson]

Like, this is a playable, not a pliable.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah, because you're the first guy in there all day that they don't have to be nice to to make money. They're literally like, go yourself.

[Walt Flanagan]

She was in such a horrible mood. I could just see it in her face.

[Brian Quinn]

I don't blame her.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah.

[Brian Quinn]

How did they tip?

[Walt Flanagan]

I got $17 from both of them. So I guess eight bucks each.

[Brian Quinn]

That's not bad. Yeah, that's actually pretty good. Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

But, yeah, that was. That was interesting, though. You know, usually you're just going and you're not seeing that. But again, it felt like I was just. Like, my ears were. Like. I was so embarrassed. Like, my ears are turning red. I could feel them burning. Like I'm fuck at face.

[Bryan Johnson]

Like, if you didn't have. If you didn't have food with you, you would have been thrown out like that. Why? You're harassing the girls. You just look too weird. Oh, look at this guy with the red ears. Get him out of here.

[Walt Flanagan]

Oh, shucks. And then I got a really strange order. Then I don't know if it was the next day or the day after I was to go to CVS and pick up a pair of, like, pliers. There's like a little tiny hardware section in CVS's where they have, like, screw. Like little. Yeah, not a big selection, but there's just one little plier I'm supposed to get. I go up, buy it, and I get. And then you don't know where you're going and. Well, you don't know exactly where you're going. You have a gist of where you're going before you buy it, before you accept it. It. But I have to go to Atlantic Highlands. And this is so weird, is like. It's like the note says, I'm in a car in. At the Atlantic Highlands Harbor. Oh, deliver. Yeah, I need you.

[Bryan Johnson]

That should be easy to find.

[Walt Flanagan]

He says the. The color of the car and the make of the car.

[Bryan Johnson]

Okay.

[Walt Flanagan]

And I'm just like, this is weird. Is this guy gonna dismember me with these pliers?

[Bryan Johnson]

Right?

[Walt Flanagan]

Like, what the is going on? It was really strange. I've never had that before. Where. Had to drop it off to somebody.

[Brian Quinn]

Was he fixing his car or something?

[Walt Flanagan]

Yeah, that's what I said to, you know, to myself. I was like, he's probably needs it to either fixes the car because it's not starting or ever, but. And maybe he. And he has nowhere to go, so he needs someone to deliver the pliers.

[Q]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

But when I got there, man, I was like. I'm. Like, I did not want to drive in immediately, and, like, I wanted to come out from almost behind and so I could see him. So he doesn't see me if I'm driving in.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

So I came in a different way because I know. I know a different way I can get in there without him, you know? So, like, I want. I want to be able to scope out the situation before I start looking for him. And I just see this guy just walking around, like, looking. And basically it looks like he's looking in cars, like. And he's, like, in a frantic pace

[Brian Quinn]

and your fingerprints on the tool.

[Walt Flanagan]

And I'm like, oh, my God, I hope this is not the. I go, this guy looks so sketchy. He looks like he's. He's tweaking. Like, he's just, like, walking around. He's got his hands on his hips. He's like. He goes. He darts one way, and for no apparent reason, he goes back the other way immediately with no, like, sense of, like. Like he's just randomly moving around. And. And then I get a message, and I noticed that I want. I get the message. He goes, are you here? He goes. Because then I forgot. He could tell that I'm. He could see.

[Bryan Johnson]

Oh, you can see in the area. Yeah, yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

And I look. And I look up from the message, and I see that guy. I'm like. I'm looking at. At, like, walking around, tweaking is on his phone, so.

[Bryan Johnson]

Oh, that is the mother.

[Brian Quinn]

How did he tip?

[Walt Flanagan]

Not great.

[Brian Quinn]

Not great.

[Walt Flanagan]

Not great. So I was like, yeah, I'm here. I go, are you. Are you outside your car right now? I think I see you. And he goes, yeah, so I'll be right there. And he comes up to the car, like, so fast. Just like. Like, he comes up to the car as if, like, you know, it was. It was disarming, though, how. How quickly he moved up to the car. And I was just like, I just could put the flyers out. And I was just like, thanks.

[Bryan Johnson]

Out of all the cars

[Walt Flanagan]

and the other one, I thought it was pretty funny. Was like, it was really dark and we couldn't find this house. And I'm driving, I'm sitting on the street. I'm going, I cannot find it. And out of the darkness, some guy fucking comes out to the car and kind of like startles, you know. I roll down the window, it's like, oh, are you waiting for your Wendy's? He goes, yeah, yeah, yeah. Really weird guy. And so I have to get out of the car because I gotta take a picture of it. I told him so he's waiting for me to take a picture of it. And he sees Teddy in the backseat and he goes, is that your dog?

[Q]

I'm delivering him.

[Walt Flanagan]

It was just so, like, of course it's my dog. I said, I go, yeah, of course it's my dog. He goes, goes, oh. Like, I don't know if he was mad that I was delivering with a dog or he was, like, surprised I was delivering a dog.

[Bryan Johnson]

Oh, like, hey, why is that dog near my food?

[Walt Flanagan]

Yeah.

[Q]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

I don't know if it was kind of incredulous, like, is that your dog?

[Bryan Johnson]

But I kind of like, if it's not, can I have him?

[Walt Flanagan]

But that's really. It. Not. Not all that engaging, though, for.

[Brian Quinn]

They're pretty good. I don't know.

[Walt Flanagan]

Yeah. But like, it would be pretty wild, though. Like, it. Like, I think that's a. That's one of those fringe benefits you don't really think about in the job where you might get to deliver to a Go Go bar. I would have never thought happen again.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah. I would have never thought that.

[Brian Quinn]

My. My cousin worked in Manhattan, and one of. In his area was the Hustler Club.

[Bryan Johnson]

Oh.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah. And he's like, once a month we get called there and it would be the best. It's the best. He's like, we just all go in and the girls would all be happy to see us. And it was always some bullshit alarm they had to reset. He's like, it was just the best.

[Walt Flanagan]

I think you're right. I think that, like, they see the guy delivering the playables as not somebody they need to be nice to.

[Brian Quinn]

Sure. Yeah. Fuck you. Yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

It does seem like doordashers take it on the chin, man. Like, we're treated like shit by, like, the. The restaurateurs.

[Walt Flanagan]

The customers, especially the restaurateurs, they're not happy to have to Deal with them. I know that they also. I guess they don't make as much money on the order.

[Bryan Johnson]

Right, right.

[Walt Flanagan]

But in my opinion, it's like, well knocked out then.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah. You don't have to do it and then turn around and act shitty to the people who are helping you.

[Walt Flanagan]

Like the. The amount of. I could just sit at. What's that place called?

[Q]

Chipotle.

[Walt Flanagan]

Chipotle. I could sit there all day long and get an order. Eight straight hours. Because I cannot believe the amount of people who order Chipotle.

[Bryan Johnson]

They love Chipotle.

[Walt Flanagan]

It's just over. You walk in to get the one you're getting, and there's literally 30 of them waiting to be picked up by somebody else. That has to be. The biggest benefactor to doordash has got to be the Chipotle. It's stunning how many people are ordering and it smells horrific. It smells like body sweat. Anything at a Chipotle?

[Bryan Johnson]

I like Chipotle. It's not that great.

[Walt Flanagan]

You know the smell I'm talking about? It smells like sweat.

[Brian Quinn]

I don't know when the last time I set foot in a Chipotle was, but I. I don't know. It always tastes good.

[Bryan Johnson]

The food's decent. Yeah, it's pretty decent.

[Walt Flanagan]

Well, all it takes is 10 minutes in my car and I can't get the smell out.

[Brian Quinn]

Well, you're a super smeller.

[Walt Flanagan]

That's true. Yeah, that's true.

[Brian Quinn]

I'm not. I have mortal senses that are declining,

[Walt Flanagan]

but my daughter's like, chipotle. And they bring it home. We have to def. You know, do we have to defunct the house? Defunct the house. Light like 15 candles. And I'm like. Almost be like, we gotta fucking forbid Chipotle in this place. It's fucking horrendous.

[Q]

I've only had it once, and that was when Bry ordered. He ordered the wrong one. You ordered it from Red bank and you're like, if you want to eat it, go ahead and eat it.

[Walt Flanagan]

Those are the pliers?

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

They only stock one set of pliers in at cvs, I believe. Yeah, I would be. I would be uneasy because I was telling my wife. I was like, I'd be fucking uneasy if Alicia. Because Delicia delivers, and I'd be like, if she got an order from some guys, like, I'm in a car down

[Bryan Johnson]

in the harbor, bring me my flyers

[Walt Flanagan]

at night, you know, and this guy's acting so stupid.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah, that is weird.

[Walt Flanagan]

You know, but nine. But yeah, like, 99 out of 100 orders. Like, you don't even come into contact with people, right?

[Bryan Johnson]

You just drop it off and go.

[Walt Flanagan]

Drop it off and leave. Yeah, yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

That's the way they do it with. That's normally the way we do it. They just drop it off and go. And they dropped it off. After Sage's graduation, we ordered food from Italian place in Atlantic Highlands and they brought it. And before the guy left, I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa. I was like, this is wrong. This is wrong. And then I remembered what you said and I was like, well, it. What am I telling him for, right? So I called the restaurant. Turned out I was wrong. So I'm really glad I didn't make a big deal about it. So glad I wasn't like, what the fuck's the matter with you? Oh yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

Every time that I like, I have a screen that pops up. Can you verify the customer's order? I it. No, because I don't want to be responsible for it. I don't know. I'm not supposed to open the bag anymore. There's some that aren't tape shut that I could easily be like, I can verify it. Yeah, but I don't because I'm like, I'm not taking on responsibility if now I'm responsible. It's like I could just easily hit, no, I can verify and I'm scot free.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. It. Then it's not on you.

[Walt Flanagan]

Yeah, that's the way I want to do it. Not on me. It's not my.

[Q]

Now what happens if you deliver to the wrong address?

[Walt Flanagan]

You'll get us. You'll get like knocked down. You'll. You'll face like a. You'll get it. Like I guess what's called like not a strike, but you'll. It'll. You'll get. It's a reflection on your record.

[Brian Quinn]

Okay, but what does the record really do?

[Walt Flanagan]

Like it supposedly if you get to a certain status, you get higher paying offers.

[Brian Quinn]

Okay, I see.

[Walt Flanagan]

But I don't know if that's really

[Q]

true because we're where Debbie lives. She's at, you know, 65 Main street there's, there's another 65 Main Street a quarter mile down the road.

[Walt Flanagan]

So they get them confused.

[Bryan Johnson]

So that used to happen to me too when I lived on Main Street.

[Walt Flanagan]

But it really shouldn't happen because the app will not allow you to do. To start the process of ending the order unless you're there at the right address. Like, I've been, I've been like, like two inches down the wrong way and says I'm not really at the right address, and I have to walk a little bit over more, and then finally I can sue. So there's really. That person who just left it there is just, like, just gave up.

[Q]

It happens all the time. Like, I go out in the morning to leave, and there's a. There's groceries sitting on their front porch, and by that point in time, they've probably been sitting there an hour or so because they don't have a time on it. So we just bring them in and throw them in the fridge. But it's just, it's insane how often throw them out.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

Really?

[Q]

Well, it's. No, it's fine.

[Bryan Johnson]

Okay, now that you're an insider, I can ask you the priority delivery. Is it bullshit?

[Walt Flanagan]

I don't know what that even means.

[Brian Quinn]

It's not bullshit. Well, he answered this. Because they don't even see the orders. You answered this already. Actually, they can't see the next order, so they don't have. So priority bumps it to the top of that list.

[Walt Flanagan]

Priority might mean that they will not include your order with a, with another order from that driver, that that driver will only be responsible for your order. So they don't have to stop at another place and they don't have to stop at another address that might be before you on the way.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah. So you. So that doesn't work out for you, then, because you would like to deliver two or three on the way, right?

[Walt Flanagan]

Depends. It really depends. Because, like, there's some places, like, you just don't even want to. Like, you don't want to go into Red Bank. It sucks.

[Bryan Johnson]

Oh, yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

Because there's nowhere to park. And so it, yeah, it really just depends on the day. But, yeah, you like Red Bank. It blows.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

And I didn't realize there was priority. You could pay extra to have it.

[Bryan Johnson]

$3? Yeah, $3 extra.

[Brian Quinn]

It's like a dollar.

[Walt Flanagan]

And that goes probably, I'm sure, all. All directly to door dash. I can't imagine driver gets any of that.

[Brian Quinn]

I, I, I didn't do it for the longest time, and then I did it a couple of times, and I was like, I got to do it every time.

[Bryan Johnson]

It just comes.

[Brian Quinn]

Right. Instead of watching the car drive all over the.

[Bryan Johnson]

Follow it, too. Right?

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah. I'm like, why the are they in Tottenville right now? It's like,

[Bryan Johnson]

if you, if you were

[Walt Flanagan]

to monitor my serendipitous route sometimes.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

You'd be like, what is with this lunkhead? Because I'm like. Because, like, me and my Wife have a problem.

[Brian Quinn]

See, the strip club right now,

[Bryan Johnson]

we

[Walt Flanagan]

cannot figure out the difference between 300ft and three inches. We think that, like, turn at 300ft, turn here. Oh, we're going the wrong way.

[Q]

I can attest to this.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

We hear turn at 300ft. We're like, 340ft. That's, like, right now.

[Brian Quinn]

We just passed it.

[Walt Flanagan]

So there's so many times where I've turned too quickly and then get stuck where I can't go back, and I have to go all the way down to take a U turn, cursing.

[Brian Quinn]

Oh, yeah. Jersey's rough on. On that.

[Walt Flanagan]

Oh, yeah. So that's why sometimes you'll see, like, the. The Family Circus route of Billy trying to deliver to doordash. Family Circus dropping references.

[Bryan Johnson]

Nice. Nice. I like it. I got it.

[Q]

I used to love those ones.

[Walt Flanagan]

Well, when Billy was.

[Q]

Yeah, Like. Yeah. You'd open up the Sunday paper, and it'd be like that bottom panel, and you just see the dots. You're like, oh, yeah, I get to follow them.

[Walt Flanagan]

I imagine you were much like a Billy when you were a young boy, huh?

[Bryan Johnson]

Could have just go directly home.

[Walt Flanagan]

Yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

Got distracted and shit.

[Q]

Yes and no. Cause, like, I lived across the street from a school, so, like, that's where I would go and play, like, in the playground. So, like, it was straight across the street. It wasn't like, a long way to get home.

[Bryan Johnson]

Home. Still didn't take the securest route, though, huh?

[Q]

No, because usually when I was going home was to go and eat, so.

[Bryan Johnson]

Gotcha.

[Q]

Yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

I'm gonna talk about some sponsors here for a second.

[Q]

Yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

If you love the jeans. Emote, Tears are welcome. So I'm supposed to be crying during this.

[Walt Flanagan]

Wow, that's.

[Bryan Johnson]

That's a big ask. It's a big ask. I don't. I don't normally cry about stuff. Most dads have been wearing the same jeans for 15, 20 years. Not because they love them, because shopping for pants is a choreography. The jeans are stiff. They're unflattering in ways nobody says out loud. They gap at the back, they pull at the thighs, and somewhere along the line, the waistband stops sitting where it used to. His body has changed, and that's just life. I do notice this on guys, like, especially older guys, like. Like, my age, maybe a little bit older. You find that they allow their jeans to sag and, like, they're. They're too long in the leg, so they get bunched up.

[Q]

You know, stuff on the backs of them.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah, exactly. They get all shredded. Yeah. Who wants jeans like that?

[Brian Quinn]

Gross.

[Bryan Johnson]

Gross. Exactly. Dad's body has changed. That's just life. But his genes haven't changed with it. So he keeps wearing them to a Father's Day brunch, to a graduation, to every occasion where somebody's going to take a photo and he's going to be in it. And every time, there's the quiet, unspoken thing. He could look so much better. He just doesn't know where to start. And that's the gift. Not just a pair of jeans. The answer to the problem he's been ignoring for two decades. Let's see the construction angle. They're worth 79.99. Most jeans at this price cut corners where you can't see them. The perfect jean doesn't. Ykk. Zippers, the best in the. So the ones that snag on your current pair every third time. Gone. Reinforced belt loops so the loops don't start pulling away after six months of real wear. Higher stitches per inch throughout. The difference between a seam that holds and the one that slowly gives out at the worst possible moment. Like when you're crouching to get the perfect photo angle of your daughter and her friends at graduation. I was crouching in my pants yesterday. They were a little bit too tight, I thought, to do any real crouching when I was doing my dance.

[Walt Flanagan]

Oh, yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

Walt accused me of wearing skinny jeans. Right in front of the girls. Right in front of the girls.

[Walt Flanagan]

You know, it's you. You want to look hip.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah.

[Q]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

You want to look hip.

[Bryan Johnson]

I thought I was going to do, like, I. Like Walt said it, like, I thought I was going to do some ballroom dancing, maybe some, like, mock steps and. No, we were doing street dancing.

[Q]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

They didn't even recognize Tony Monero.

[Bryan Johnson]

No.

[Brian Quinn]

Really? Wow. That's.

[Walt Flanagan]

I mean, the. The dancing game has changed. It's a young person, you know, hobby now.

[Brian Quinn]

Wow. What type of dance were you doing there?

[Walt Flanagan]

Hip hop.

[Bryan Johnson]

Hip hop? Yeah. Street dancing, they call it.

[Brian Quinn]

Hip hop's been around. Like, dancing has been around for 20 something years, too. They're still on that, huh?

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah. I think that's pretty. Pretty popular with, like, the younger girls, too. Yeah, yeah. Like, and cheerleaders. They always have, like, a hip hop routine going.

[Brian Quinn]

Go for it.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah. Do it from 26 to 52 length from 26 to 38. Six fits from skinny to thick, 13 washes. That's over 5,000 accommodations. Which means the guy who's been buying a size up from the waist just to get room in the thighs. The guys who's been hemming every pair he owns. And the guy who's been told every other brand that his body is the problem. We all have the real answer here. So listeners.

[Walt Flanagan]

So the body's not the problem.

[Bryan Johnson]

Body's not the problem. It's the genes.

[Walt Flanagan]

I've been saying that forever, right?

[Bryan Johnson]

You have been.

[Walt Flanagan]

It's the genes, it's not me.

[Bryan Johnson]

I used to dismiss you like this guy doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. Now that I read this. Yeah, I have to apologize to you. I. Well, listeners get 15% off their first order plus free shipping at ThePerfectGene NYC. That's T H e p E r F e C T G E n G E a n y c. Or Google the perfect gene and use code TESD15 for 15% off.

[Q]

There's a reason they're behind the glass.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah, yeah, yeah, everything.

[Bryan Johnson]

There's reason they're behind the glass. You're right.

[Brian Quinn]

Fucking a. Happy hour drink was $9 for a beer. Yes. The other day I was like what?

[Bryan Johnson]

Happy hour supposed to be half the price of whatever.

[Brian Quinn]

It was insane. I was like this is crazy. What the fuck are people drinking?

[Bryan Johnson]

You know, it's a world come to her. I can't even afford happy hour.

[Brian Quinn]

What happened to like a three dollar beer and a shot? Remember those days?

Wow, somebody really, really enjoyed writing this. Somebody went nice. I like this.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah, I like it too.

[Q]

It's like a Moroccan soccer player.

[Walt Flanagan]

Who is your, like, who would you like, compare yours to? What's what major star athlete? Are we talking about Derek Jeter?

[Brian Quinn]

Pele Manupo.

[Q]

So does that reverse upside down kick.

[Walt Flanagan]

The bicycle kick?

[Q]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

I don't think you're. I don't even think you're. You're toenail clippings. You clip and could do a mic

[Brian Quinn]

clip limply fall to the floor. They crumble like dust in the air,

[Walt Flanagan]

let alone your pecker. Just got to go head over heels. I think it would lo. I think it would lose consciousness. All the blood would rush the.

[Brian Quinn]

Your feet

[Walt Flanagan]

immediately go flaccid. That's Pele

[Brian Quinn]

now. Not Pele back then.

[Walt Flanagan]

What's Pele?

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah, right. It's time to make your bedroom noisy again. Nothing says hello neighbors like a bedpost. Knock against the drywall at 2am who doesn't want to hear that? You ever. I mean, I'm sure you Q. You've been in a. A myriad of hotels, so Many hotels. You must have heard people.

[Brian Quinn]

Oh, it happens more than you think. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

I've heard it in the past. It's pretty cool. I like it.

[Brian Quinn]

I don't mind it. I might go for it. I. I like that there. I like that they're doing it and they don't care that I get here. You know, they're enjoying their lives.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah. They're getting it done. Doing their own thing.

[Walt Flanagan]

Last time, getting my head over heels.

[Bryan Johnson]

We're watching video of. Get him at the. The backyard Olympics.

[Brian Quinn]

Falling down in the hole like nothing happened. Happens. You just fall.

[Bryan Johnson]

There's a hole there. Out of all the friends I have, like, and I've known Walt for 50 years, I've seen Ginna fall more than anybody else I know.

[Brian Quinn]

Eventually that's gonna hurt real bad. Yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

What do we got here?

[Brian Quinn]

It's amazing that it was caught on camera so perfectly.

[Walt Flanagan]

I mean, and when I saw it happen, I was like, oh, dear God, please. I hope that's on camera.

[Bryan Johnson]

I hope he's okay.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Q]

I gotta show this to my insurance agent.

[Bryan Johnson]

Remember when you were young and getting hard was easy? You could look at one page of Good Housekeeping or a shapely tree stumping.

[Walt Flanagan]

Good Housekeeping.

[Bryan Johnson]

Wow.

[Q]

Remember reading Grits?

[Walt Flanagan]

Good Housekeeping.

[Bryan Johnson]

I guess so. The least sexy of all magazines.

[Walt Flanagan]

We grow up in an age without the Internet. It was. It was. If you had cable, you got. You were lucky. But. But either found a. A Playboy in the woods.

[Brian Quinn]

Yep.

[Bryan Johnson]

Right.

[Walt Flanagan]

But Good Housekeeping was not something that I remember looking to. Towards like, man, I'm feeling. I'm feeling ornery. I'm feeling a little Randy. My mom's good housekeeper.

[Bryan Johnson]

Let me page through these recipes first.

[Brian Quinn]

Saucy tart Cleaning those windows.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah, exactly.

[Walt Flanagan]

Go Betty Crocker.

[Q]

You go for like the Sears catalog.

[Walt Flanagan]

Not even that.

[Bryan Johnson]

Maybe the bras and underwear. Yeah, maybe. But even then, like back then, those bras under it wasn't like Victoria's Secret. It was like everybody had Grandma.

[Walt Flanagan]

Good Housekeeping. That's wild.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah. So we're talking about Bluechew Gold, which is better sex in the tablet to combine four one ingredients into a powerful solution. The two ingredients get you hard physically, and two, support arousal and desire in the brain. It works fast and lasts. Guys have the complete experience in the bedroom with Bluechew Gold.

[Walt Flanagan]

Now, it plays with your desire levels in your brain.

[Bryan Johnson]

That's what they're saying.

[Q]

So.

[Walt Flanagan]

So let's say it's like maybe you're.

[Bryan Johnson]

You hook up with a skank at

[Walt Flanagan]

the End of the night and you know, you got your slim pickings. You know, you got to make a choice real quick. And maybe she's not as desirable, as slim as you'd like, as you were hoping for when the night began. But you know, standards down and down call. And so you pop the Blue Chew and all of a sudden you're. You find everything more desirable. Is that what they're saying?

[Brian Quinn]

Suddenly she looks like Barbara Eden in the genie outfit.

[Bryan Johnson]

Gold. It's going to fucking help you out. It's going to put you in the mood. Guys have a complete experience in the bedroom with Blue Chew Gold.

[Walt Flanagan]

You have. You can't be dropping Barbara Eden when you're with your other friends. Right. There's all. You only drop those years.

[Brian Quinn]

This is where I learned it. This is where I keep it.

[Walt Flanagan]

There's no way.

[Q]

No, no.

[Brian Quinn]

That was for you guys.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah. We're looking at some old Sears catalog broad. They're very pointy. Yeah. They're not the, the, the miracle bras of today.

[Walt Flanagan]

I think we have to stop doing that, though.

[Q]

What?

[Walt Flanagan]

I think we have to start make it conscious of her to stop going after such small, narrow windows of jokes like call like that. I think, I think I'm. I'm thinking about maybe if we should hire an 18 year old to sit here with us and not interject, but just hand us notes of jokes and references that we could use in the show. Like, like if somebody who's like 18 in our area live in Jersey, maybe we'll try it out for one episode. We just. You just slip us like very current trendy celebrities.

[Bryan Johnson]

So like when whatever's trending on TikTok or something.

[Walt Flanagan]

Yeah. So when Q breaks out the Barbara Eden joke, you know, he could be.

[Bryan Johnson]

He can counter it with.

[Walt Flanagan]

Counter it with like, this is what you should have said.

[Q]

Shut up.

[Walt Flanagan]

I think you can do that, though. I think that. I don't think this is for you so much Q as me and Brian.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah, yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

We were talking to, we went to do when we did Patreon yesterday. Rupert came with us and he even. He said, he's like. And this is a guy who's steeped in media. Like he knows his shit. And he was just like, I didn't know what you guys were talking about when you're talking about Taxi.

[Brian Quinn]

Oh, really?

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah. I'm like, that's not that long ago. Oh, wait a second.

[Brian Quinn]

It's like 50, 60 years ago.

[Walt Flanagan]

I think we might be losing listeners. The more we embrace the past like that and like and if we're dropping.

[Brian Quinn]

All right.

[Walt Flanagan]

Gold that we think is gold, it's fool's gold. It's only gold. It's only gold, too. Like for me and Brian, but like, yeah. For the listener base, I think, you know, give it a shot. Maybe get. If you're 18.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

And you want to sit in and be our, like our Jackie Martin.

[Brian Quinn]

Well, I would do.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah.

[Brian Quinn]

18 to like 22. 20. You know what I mean? Like, yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

All right, let's go.

[Walt Flanagan]

Open the window up.

[Brian Quinn]

We'll open the window up.

[Walt Flanagan]

18 to 28. That's a 10 year.

[Bryan Johnson]

28. Too old.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah, that's too old. Yeah, I think 20.

[Bryan Johnson]

I think 22.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah. 22, 23.

[Walt Flanagan]

Okay.

[Brian Quinn]

To be on the bleeding cutting edge.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

I want somebody who's going to be like, you know, like when you say, say, you know, she's as hot as Barb Reed and like, he introduces like somebody who's hot on Tick Tock now.

[Brian Quinn]

Right?

[Q]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

No, I even. I even know that I want somebody even more.

[Bryan Johnson]

We gotta be like, who?

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah. Does the name, like Olivio Rodriguez mean anything to you?

[Bryan Johnson]

No.

[Brian Quinn]

No. Okay. I don't even know if I said her name right. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I'm just trying to write. That's like the hot. I. I listened to two young kids talking about that. The young kids, they were 25, so. Talking about it the other day.

[Bryan Johnson]

Let's see this. Olivia Rodriguez. Get him.

[Q]

Olivia Rodrigo. Sure.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah. Is that it? Olivia Rodrigo.

[Q]

Singer.

[Walt Flanagan]

She's a singer, huh?

[Brian Quinn]

Apparently I'm hearing a lot of good things about her. Her that she's gonna like. She's like, yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

Oh, she's young. She's really young.

[Q]

23.

[Walt Flanagan]

Okay.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

I think that's what I do. Like, like, I'll see something on, like online. I'm like, who the is this anyway? And I'll look it up. They got 5 million Instagram followers. He' do it all the time.

[Brian Quinn]

41 million followers she's got.

[Bryan Johnson]

Oh, my God.

[Q]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

I want to eradicate my way of my. My pop culture references. I want to go. I want to embrace. Why? Because that's how we're.

[Q]

That's.

[Brian Quinn]

But somebody's got to keep it alive. Somebody's got to keep the gamble burning.

[Q]

I read this the other day and it made me think of Jimmy.

[Bryan Johnson]

Let me quickly read the end of.

[Walt Flanagan]

Well, there's no appreciation for it, I don't think, other than like the. For a few in this room.

[Brian Quinn]

Okay.

[Walt Flanagan]

I don't know. Like, again, Rupp told us he Was like, yeah, man. You guys are just like, we lost every week. You guys are further and further away from anything. I. A frame of reference for.

[Brian Quinn]

Well, keep up. Keep up, Rob.

[Walt Flanagan]

Not keeping it up, though. You're slowly fossilizing right before everyone's eyes.

[Bryan Johnson]

Can't move my arm. Fossilized. Can't move my other arm.

[Walt Flanagan]

Basically like beetles and amber.

[Bryan Johnson]

Before we get into this, Olivia Rodriguez, which is very interesting, there's a reason Bluetooth is the number one brand for better sex.

[Walt Flanagan]

And I also want to make clear though that, like, if I do take some. A young person on to sit in and just feed us timely references, it's not a paid position. It's a, it's a intern. And it could develop like if the episode really hits and people are like, I love this new. Yeah, you know, you guys are so hip, hip, current TSD humor. Then we could talk maybe, you know, financial compensation.

[Brian Quinn]

Sure.

[Bryan Johnson]

Well, okay, we're going to talk about something that all the kids today can relate to. And that's Olivia Rodrigo saying that her fans who wear diapers in the front row smell. So you can smell the poopy, pissy smell. Now who are her fans? Or she's talking about babies or she's talking about old people.

[Walt Flanagan]

Like fans who have to wait maybe long.

[Q]

Yeah. Like people in the front row, they

[Brian Quinn]

don't want to give up their spot, so they just wear the dress.

[Q]

Like the people go to New York City like on New Year's Eve, and once you get at that fence, you can't move for like eight hours.

[Brian Quinn]

That's.

[Bryan Johnson]

Oh, my God. So she can smell their shit and piss from this, which means you can definitely smell it in the crowd.

[Walt Flanagan]

But she.

[Brian Quinn]

Oh, fuck. Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

Yeah. She reveals she has smelled diaper wearing fans at shows.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah, go.

[Walt Flanagan]

Like if, if the ants, Jimmy, were to like, they had. If they wanted to wear a diaper just to like, meet me, have the opportunity to meet me, I could not call them out on that. I would be like, I would just ignore it.

[Bryan Johnson]

Well, I think a super smeller like

[Walt Flanagan]

you, I would be.

[Bryan Johnson]

I.

[Walt Flanagan]

It would Be tough. But I would be. I would not call it out to the.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah. Because the amount of fans that. Oh, yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

Right there. Yeah. Just to hold her would be.

[Brian Quinn]

You'd be calling out someone specific. She's playing to stadiums and arenas. She's not.

[Walt Flanagan]

You don't think that, like. No, we would have, like, a hundred in the front row.

[Brian Quinn]

I think somebody Be like, who's the wannabes? Or something like that. Like wearing diapers.

[Q]

Yeah.

[Brian Quinn]

Too easy to pinpoint where. With this. It's like, you know, 15,000 people in Ohio who.

[Walt Flanagan]

I'm not a fan of her calling out those fans. Oh, they're willing to put diapers on just to not lose their.

[Bryan Johnson]

That is dedication.

[Walt Flanagan]

Yeah. That's the kind of.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah. Richard Christie used to do that at Coheed and Cambria show.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah. And he. But he took it. His dings for it. I don't think you should be able to behave like that and expect to just get away with it.

[Bryan Johnson]

No, that's what I said.

[Walt Flanagan]

The.

[Bryan Johnson]

The title of the article is like, should we bring shame back?

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

But I. Who's actually doing number two, though, in the diaper? I could see having to do number one.

[Bryan Johnson]

Right.

[Walt Flanagan]

Because it gets.

[Bryan Johnson]

Calling her a liar, but it.

[Walt Flanagan]

Because it gets absorbed by the diaper. But number two, it's just gonna sit there the whole time.

[Bryan Johnson]

You're gonna feel it against cold.

[Brian Quinn]

But what if your favorite songs. What if you're in the middle of your favorite Olivia Rodrigo song?

[Walt Flanagan]

Okay, so at Kiss.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Walt Flanagan]

And I'm like, hey, man, you have to sit here for 48 hours. But you can get. You can be able to get blood on you from Gene. When Paul's shaking his. His money maker, you know, you'll get sweat on you. You know, when Ace is tripping out, you know, you'll be able to. I. But the price is you can't leave the spot. You have to wear. You know, if you have to go to the bathroom, you have to do it in your pants.

[Brian Quinn]

I assume that Kiss is wearing diapers at this point.

[Bryan Johnson]

Smelling the.

[Brian Quinn]

Smelling the band.

[Walt Flanagan]

Y. I don't know if I could do it. I don't know if I could actually go to the bathroom, at least number two. And just.

[Bryan Johnson]

Could you physically do it?

[Walt Flanagan]

Yeah, because I would be like. It would be so uncomfortable. I don't care how much I enjoyed the band.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah, I agree with you.

[Q]

I would think by now they've got it down to, like, a science.

[Walt Flanagan]

Diapers.

[Q]

No, no, no. Like, performing, like, you know, knowing when to, like, you know, Cut off, like, drinking and stuff.

[Bryan Johnson]

Well, I think even Rush takes an intermission now. They're like, we're old. We gotta go back, we gotta hit the head and get a drink.

[Brian Quinn]

What's this I hear about Rush coming back? Like, Rush is getting popular again.

[Bryan Johnson]

Oh, yeah, they're coming back and they have a female drummer.

[Brian Quinn]

Young people have discovered Rush and they're loving it. That's pretty cool. See, we just got to hold on

[Bryan Johnson]

long enough, you know, More like Rush. Yeah. I was wondering, I don't know about you, Q, if you can answer this question, because most of your teachers were guys, right?

[Brian Quinn]

Did you have features in high school? Oh, I had some real hot female teachers.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah, that was my question. Because, like, when I look back at our school, like at Henry Hudson when we went to high school, I'm like. I think of all our teachers being like, old, just old. But then I was thinking back, like, and I was realizing, like, they weren't really that old. And some of them were probably pretty cute. Like if, like by today, like, if we were to look at them today, like, Mrs. Clark. Remember Ms. Clark?

[Walt Flanagan]

All right.

[Bryan Johnson]

She was like, remember? She was like, kind of airheaded and shit.

[Walt Flanagan]

Yeah, she was.

[Bryan Johnson]

But I'm like, she might have been sexy, like, had she like. Because we're looking at 80s clothes, you know, and 80s more and shit. So, like, I'm thinking, like, if it were Jaden and I was a high school student, would I be like, I'd like to bang her.

[Brian Quinn]

I'll tell you this.

[Bryan Johnson]

I have a story about this Klee sack. Another one.

[Brian Quinn]

I had a. I had a teacher in Mansino Farrell High School that was like. It was an all boys school. So right away, like, anything, anything. And. But she had an unbelievable body. Like, unbelievable. And she would dress in a way, this is the early 90s, like, dressing away to show it off. And we were just like, this is the fucking best. And it was like a rite of passage, like getting her class and just like stare at her like she loved it, you know? There's no way you didn't dress like that and wear those high heels and not enjoy that attention. Cut to about 25, maybe. Yeah, about 25 years later.

[Bryan Johnson]

I fucked up.

[Brian Quinn]

No, I was out. I was out on a date and in walks a teacher. And time had not been. Been kind in any way, shape or it was like, worst case. Like, I was like, did she become a drug addict after or something like that? And I let dinner and I was like. I said to the girl I was with, I Was like, look at that woman. You have no idea how many times I jerked off to that woman. And she was like, really? And I was like. But you don't know what it was like 20 something years ago, we only had Good Housekeeping. It was funny have. But we, we had some. We had two or three really good, good looking teachers.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah.

[Q]

Yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

Like looking back, I think we had a couple. Like not many. It was a lot of guys. And then the women were generally older.

[Brian Quinn]

Yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

And like the, the. Both the gym teach. Both the gym teachers were lesbians who, you know, didn't look good. But there were a couple now like that, I think back, I'm like, man, I should. I should have observed them more, appreciated it more. Yeah, I should have.

[Walt Flanagan]

Did you go over and talk to her?

[Q]

No.

[Walt Flanagan]

How come?

[Brian Quinn]

Just because like all she's gonna want to talk about is a TV show and shit like that. And I don't want to talk about myself, you know, that's all anybody wants to talk to me about who hasn't seen me in 20 years. They're like, oh, I imagine that.

[Walt Flanagan]

But I mean, this is somebody that held a special place in your memories. I can't imagine you'd put up for it just for the. Nah, just for the titillation.

[Brian Quinn]

No, because then you're taking a picture with higher than somebody else in the restaurant sees it and the next thing you know, I'm fucking not enjoying my dinner.

[Walt Flanagan]

Gotcha.

[Brian Quinn]

So I just kind of hid. But. But it was good. Seer,

[Bryan Johnson]

do you want to look at the top five people who we probably don't know their names.

[Brian Quinn]

Sure, let's do it.

[Q]

Top 50.

[Bryan Johnson]

Top. Okay, well, I'm just gonna look at the top five. We're not going through all top 50. Okay. These are top five TikTokers. Yeah. So number one, Brooke Monk, who I've never heard of 35 million plus followers she's garnered, gained immense popularity on TikTok for her relatable and humorous content. Her down to earth personality and engaging funny skits have endeared her to millions of followers. Hours.

[Brian Quinn]

It's hard to. It's really hard to. To take a stand on them either way because what if they're doing. What if they were making stuff that I'd watch on. It'd be like. It's pretty funny, right? You know, without.

[Walt Flanagan]

Oh, you think it's humorous?

[Brian Quinn]

Well, they say funny skits are down to the personality. Engaging funny skits have endeared her to millions of followers.

[Walt Flanagan]

Okay. You don't think it has Anything to do with. You think it's those. Those 35 million are there for the. The yucks.

[Brian Quinn]

It's gotta be something. It's not ugly because all these girls, girls are fucking top tier gorgeous for sure. But like you could just go on pornhub and see any girl doing anything like who's following TikTok.

[Walt Flanagan]

You don't think the writer is. The maker of this article is less inclined to say, yeah, well her big tatas are a reason that she, she's got all these followers. They're going to be like, well she's engaging and she's humorous. Go girl. It's not going to be anything sexualized.

[Brian Quinn]

Well, let's look at the rest of the list, see what we got.

[Bryan Johnson]

Okay, next we got Brey hill, who has 4 million-plus followers. Brey Hill has gained popularity on TikTok for engaging dance videos, lip sync performances and trendy contact content that appeals to young audiences. Her charismatic presence and ability to stay on top of the popular trends have helped her build a significant following on the platform. Another pretty girl. Never heard of her.

[Brian Quinn]

Right.

[Bryan Johnson]

Daisy Keech Yerger, who looks very similar to the one before. Highly popular TikTok follower with 7 million plus followers. Known for her fitness and lifestyle content.

[Walt Flanagan]

I mean they're all dedicated to have her followers for her inspiration and motivation. Again, you can see the slant of this article though. It's not going to be like she's fine.

[Brian Quinn]

It's the box we put ourselves into. Nobody talks like humans anymore. Anymore.

[Bryan Johnson]

It's like I'm offended. Look at my finger wagon. Addison Rae, who I have heard of. I have heard this name but I wasn't aware she was a TikToker. 88 million plus followers. Biggest influencers thanks to her captivating dance videos, charismatic personality and engaging content, frequently showcasing her life and friendships. Her collaborations with other popular creators and seamless cross platform presence have further solidified her stats as a social media sensation.

[Brian Quinn]

Wow.

[Walt Flanagan]

The last one.

[Bryan Johnson]

And the last one. Number five, Charlie Jordan. Another good looking girl. 7.6 million followers.

[Brian Quinn]

Well, they mentioned her beauty.

[Walt Flanagan]

Yeah, but then immediately her genuine connection with her followers.

[Bryan Johnson]

Her natural beauty.

[Walt Flanagan]

Seven point year you could have a connection with 7.6 million followers.

[Bryan Johnson]

I can't even have a connection with seven followers. They've made her a beloved figure on the platform.

[Brian Quinn]

Is this, is it only females on this list?

[Q]

Yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

Okay, it looks that way. Bella Porch. Go ahead down to the next one. Brianna Dinar. Dianara.

[Walt Flanagan]

Yeah.

[Bryan Johnson]

Renita Re.

[Walt Flanagan]

Yeah, this looks like a bar.

[Bryan Johnson]

Charlie d'. Amelio.

[Walt Flanagan]

Just look like one.

[Bryan Johnson]

Yeah, right.

[Brian Quinn]

I've met Charlie D'. Amelio. She's actually really super nice.

[Q]

56 million followers.

[Brian Quinn]

Oh, she was in. When Fatone was in. Was on Broadway in. And Juliet. She was in it. Oh, she was so nice. Like. Like I'm 156 million people.

[Bryan Johnson]

Her down to earth personality. She was.

[Brian Quinn]

You wouldn't. You wouldn't.

[Walt Flanagan]

Cues contesting. And she does have it.

[Brian Quinn]

I'm telling you. She was a D. First of all, she. This is why I'm impressed with her. She was in the Broadway show. She's got 156 million followers. She wasn't a lead. I don't even think she had any voice speaking roles. She was a dancer, like a featured dancer. And I was like, that's pretty cool that she loves Broadway that much that she would just do that without with that many followers. Obviously she could call her own shots. And then when I met her backstage, I mean, she was just so sweet and so normal and. Yeah, yeah. So I could say for her. And she's beautiful too.

[Walt Flanagan]

Who you were.

[Brian Quinn]

I don't think so. I don't think so.

[Walt Flanagan]

Okay.

[Brian Quinn]

She didn't say she did.

[Walt Flanagan]

Factor into why. Because like, you weren't treated like I

[Bryan Johnson]

was at fucking fantasy looking like mole man and shit.

[Walt Flanagan]

Anybody got any eye drops? Please, anybody? Girls. I'm blind.

[Brian Quinn]

Is that a girl?

[Walt Flanagan]

Help that old man see before he has to go back to the car and get yelled at.

[Brian Quinn]

My wife's outside.

[Bryan Johnson]

My dog too. Why are you telling me all this?

[Walt Flanagan]

Tell him, Steve.
