“I don’t like to align myself with China. You know me, I bleed red, white, and blue.” – Q

“You got to have a closed casket because you have your dick in your mouth.” – Q

Memorable Moments:

There is a complaint on Twitter that TESD has gone too PC for not ripping on Biden. Years ago they received the same complaints for not ripping on Trump. TESD is not a political show. Walt says politics have overtaken religion for most taboo topics to talk about.

China bans effeminate men in the media. Nashel says Comic Book Men could never be shown over there. Walt wonders if a regulatory board oversees the decision of what is effeminate.

Q sees a movie preview for a Swedish film called “Last Man Down” and claims it is a throwback to 90s-early 2000s era ass kicker flicks.

China also prohibits teenagers from playing more than 3 hours of video games a week, and only on weekends. They limit celebrity pay and do not allow children of celebrities to appear on reality show.

Q says AEW is the best thing on TV. Someone the guys know is working on a pilot for micro wrestling. People aren’t supposed to use the term “midget” on set but the little person performers won’t stop saying it. TESD remembers Hulk Hogan’s little person wrestling program on TruTV.

Bry attends a Labor Day party at Q’s place. Q can’t defeat Joe DeRosa at beer pong. Maribeth finds a way to fall out of a chair that is supposed to be impossible to fall out of. Bry sees she is ok and laughs it off until a hunky bystander helps her up.

In this Overkill episode Walt discusses numerous Conspiracy Theories.

Is Mattress Firm a front for the Russian Mafia? Q is more scared of the Russian mob than the Italian one because the Russians mess with your dick.

Why did the Iranian government buy so many military grade Russian dolphins?

Did Disney release the movie Frozen so that Google searches would stop returning hits of Walt Disney’s frozen corpse?

Are all birds seen today merely government drones?

Bry has a mini Overkill topic:  He and Maribeth stayed in a hotel in NYC after the IJ movie premiere and had many spooky goings on.  First the shower backed up so bad that a thick clump of hair resembling Samara from the Ring films was floating in it.  Secondly when Bry went down to the desk to complain he couldn’t find his way back ending up in floors and hallways he’s never seen before.  Bry later discovers that he was somehow in the completely wrong hotel before a helpful lady helped him find his way.

Bry asks if he deserved the shoddy treatment he got at a WaWa when a mean lady scolds him for accidentally reaching for the wrong change.

Bry reveals he has finally found a therapist and is on mood stabilizers and beginning to feel better.

Bry also recalls the Usher at Louis C.K. who made it her mission to take Bry down after he attempted to seat himself without going through her.  A gleeful Bry got up to go to the bathroom and get snacks multiple times making a point to circumvent her authority.  She eventually brought the manager down who quickly apologized when Bry showed him his tickets.

Victor and Alex Juarez, the Camera Brothers, sit down and tell their story of thwarting a home invasion in the summer of 2012.  The were returning from dinner for their Dad’s birthday when two masked men with a pistol and shotgun broke into their home and threatened their mother.  These intruders were looking for someone and were in the wrong home.  Alex snatches the shotgun from the intruder and tries to pull the trigger.  Victor takes the other guy’s handgun as they try to flee.  Victor gets one in a headlock while Alex stabs him with his pocketknife.

Bry is censored by Maribeth before he can go into an Asian accent during an ad read.

Reoccurring Segment:

Baron Von Flanagan

Memorable Moments:

 

This video contains two separate Live TESDs recorded at the Gramercy Theater.

First Live Show:

Walt’s vision of the dramatic stage show “Talking Dead” comes to life as Q and Bry enter in cult robes carrying their own lynched puppets. Baron Von Flanagan enters in top hat and cape as all three spit blood upon the audience.

During the Baron Von Flanagan segment Bry and Q provide Thunder and Lightning with a thunder tube and a strobe light.

Gitem and LED SoundSystem perform “Day in the Life” live.

Sunday Jeff arrives wearing all Khakis.

Bry regales the audience with the traumatic trip to the show with him Walt, Gitem, and Sunday Jeff almost getting sideswiped by a van and the constant bickering.

Walt and Gitem come up with a mantra to ensure they remember whether or not they’ve locked the front door, a problem that has caused Walt and Mike numerous sleepless nights.

Sal and Ming join the table for a game of Roll a Role. During the role play no one can keep track of who is male or female or what the topic of choice is.

Bry tells a Why Bry story, where he replies to an email from the digital producer of AMC asking for the guys to compile a comic “pull list”. Bryan’s answer to her is sexually explicit and vulgar.

Second Live Show:

The second show begins in much the same way as the first however with Sunday Jeff and Ming as the cultists this time around. Bryan Johnson is nowhere to be found until he comes hustling up the aisle wearing a Dominoes shirt and “the tightest dickies”.

There is now a bottle of Jameson in front of Q, despite claiming to Walt he doesn’t drink at live shows anymore.

The Baron brings more mind blowing facts. Bry admits wanting to have a baby duckling imprint on him so it thinks he’s it’s dad and they go on adventures.

The second show turns into an overkill episode as Gitem Ming Chen and Sunday Jeff join the table to riotous chants of Sunday Jeff.

Walt’s overkill topic is about an Independent Presidential candidate Andrew D. Bisaggio who claims to be a time traveler who has witnessed Lincolns assassination twice. He promises to share the technology and put Bigfoot on the endangered species list.

Ming has an overkill topic about Chinese Ant Eating therapy which is said to have brought the Ming Dynasty emperor a long life.

Bry’s topic is about Pokemon Go being tied to satanic and Illuminati symbols.

Q has a speed round of 7 quick overkill topics.

Gitem is able to communicate with parrots using the John Williams score of Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Sunday Jeff has a story about a man who received a donated heart falls in love with the mans widow and ends up dying the same way as the first man.

Quotes:

“I think the bigger question is do you know what Overkill even is?” – Walt to Bry

“Is your couch fucking King Size?  I doubt it!” – Walt to Gitem

“I think we should get rid of Mike just in case” – Q about a hypothetical Hitler situation.

“Overkill!  Over-kill! The only thing that’s spooky right now is your pulse rate and your wild eyes!” – Walt to Bry when he gets riled up.

“My library music now has fuckin’ Gitem walls around it!” – Walt

Reoccurring Segments:

Memorable Moments:

Mike and Ming are the bad boys of pocasting, as in they are bad at it.

Walt wants TESD to be the Insane Clown Posse of podcasters.  The Juggalos have been labeled a gang, Walt wants the Ants to be as well.  Bry cites occasions where Ants have been denied entrance to a church and registering their car due to 4 Color Demons shirts and stickers on their car.

Ken Jennings refuses to answer Bry’s challenge to take on Walt in a comics trivia contest.

Gitem joins Walt for the ad reads.  During a Casper read Gitem reveals he prefers to sleep on his couch than go upstairs to sleep in his King size bed.  Walt asks if it’s because he is too “Natty’d Out”.

The second ad is for Zip Recruiter and devolves into Walt chiding Gitem for not being the computer whiz he had touted himself as.  Walt accuses Gitem of sabotaging the computer system to ensure he is still needed.   Walt often gets locked out of the new password system that Gitem set up, turns out he was putting in the wrong password.

Bry still doesn’t understand the theme of Overkill and comes to the table with the unsolved murder of Hitler’s niece.

If it was discovered that Mike was a secret Hitler what would happen.  Walt would call Kev to tell him to get in front of the situation.  If Q found out he was a secret Hitler he would use it as an excuse as why he doesn’t want to have kids.

Ben Affleck was on a TV show about finding his ancestors and discovers he is descended from slave owners.

Walt gets an email from someone claiming to be a time traveler warning him to stay away from mangoes due to his severe poison ivy reaction.  Walt claims to have never been exposed to mangoes before, but then just six days after receiving the warning is offered mango cheesecake.

Walt reads the levels of the Illuminati and how to advance in the ranks.  The top tier are the Priest, the Prince, the King, and the Mage.  Walt tries to figure out who in his life fit those four titles.
