View Full Version : Episode 25: 'Tipper' on a curve
http://sarcasticgamer.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/tipper1.jpg
We were joined on Episode 25 by not one but two guests. Tipper Queen (http://www.tipperqueen.com/), the Guitar Hero Goddess (most recently made famous by her appearance with Bill Gates at the CES keynote) stopped by to say "hi". We also enjoyed the company of our GCN (http://www.gamercastnetwork.com/) brother Foo Mo Jive from Podtacular (http://www.podtacular.com/), who finally answered the all-important question: Why was he caught playing Halo 3 on EASY?

Griffin999 01-28-2008, 01:28 AM *downloads* always a great way to start the week
Wr3ck 01-28-2008, 02:06 AM Oh jesus. That first SG.com update had me in tears. ****in genius. Oh fck, I'm still laughing.
DemonicDerek 01-28-2008, 02:15 AM Best Episode Ever! I actually laughed this time more than once! (There has only been one time where I laughed at all...no offense. I am just no too easy to get to laugh, smile yes but laugh no. However, in real life I laugh so much it's riducoulus. More or less its the fact that it's recorded that could preent it, I am rambling now so IDK and IDCare)
Hit by a shovel! YA!!!!!! ROCK ON! Let's listen to that again....
I was going to congratulate you guys on yoru first martini time that was completed until I heard your guest screw it up (IDRemember his name! even though it was said like 3 seconds ago...:( short term memory loss... Whats with all the ID's?)
I can't remember any other times I laughed, just Lono's martini time statement was just too awesome! (too good to spoil).
Lono_Lives 01-28-2008, 02:21 AM It could be the best Paul Christy News ever. EVER.
Live4Him 01-28-2008, 02:24 AM Lol great podcast guys; since I haven't been here for very long this is the first podcast I've listened to but it was pretty funny. :D
Also, after just one podcast, I'm already addicted lol. Can't wait for the next one :D
matt4825 01-28-2008, 02:43 AM I had to pause it after the first news. I was laughing so hard it hurt. I am gunna go listen again, because if anyone deserved it? It should be him!!
Great work guys, as always!
VenomousDuck 01-28-2008, 02:47 AM Again! Again! Three times back to back! Backwards!
zbiggie 01-28-2008, 02:50 AM Great podcast, i wonder if you guys actually read the surveys, I left a nice story in there. Hope you get a laugh out of it
Lono_Lives 01-28-2008, 02:57 AM Great podcast, i wonder if you guys actually read the surveys, I left a nice story in there. Hope you get a laugh out of it
Nope, those surveys go to an independent company, all we get is the raw data.
DemonicDerek 01-28-2008, 03:01 AM Paul Christy has a new name apparently...
Paul Chrifubeep
animathias 01-28-2008, 05:57 AM It could be the best Paul Christy News ever. EVER.
Indeed, it's great to hear him again. That first update had me rolling, and you guys kept it up the entire time. Great podcast guys.
As for the tip thing, I myself work as a Pizza Driver. Dave, I'm disappointed in you. Those tips are pretty much what we live on, our paychecks go for bills and vehicle upkeep.
Normansanzo 01-28-2008, 06:16 AM Hahaha Mr.Thomson getting hit with a shovel again and again oh thats funny :D Dave needs to tip more thats how you get good service.
JDorfler 01-28-2008, 07:42 AM Tip bro. What's wrong with you?LOR][/COLOR]
viatrophy 01-28-2008, 08:14 AM Great show guys. :D
Dave... you should of tipped.. Damn you and your giant lobsters firing electricity.. :p
unohisname 01-28-2008, 09:06 AM man Tipper is sexy idk who looks better her or Calyber but any ways both i good on the eyes
MadMikeMan 01-28-2008, 09:12 AM I can't believe foo mo jive would just come on the show and attack dave, my theory is that while he was a waiter dave didn't tip him.
MightyMutt 01-28-2008, 09:16 AM As ever the only way I can cope with the horrors of another monday morning to make the world a bit more Sarcastic.
Not many deserve to be repeatedly hit in the face with a shovel but Jack Thompson is one of them. Sounds like you need to take that shovel round a tour of the Fox News offices as well!
Dave you have to tip, whats wrong with you? (Please do not answer this question, the internet does not have enough space!)
GideonB 01-28-2008, 11:53 AM I am so pissed off at Dave, mostly 'cos being an arse to a pizza guy if just unfair. Also I admit that I do play games on easy but i'm like 12 and I got so much school work. But what authority allows you to just play on easy. My dad played Halo 2 on easy and died within 5 seconds of starting a fight. But then again, I do like playing mobile phone games on harder difficulties mostly because I'm a Mobile Gamer.
VinDali 01-28-2008, 01:06 PM It could be the best Paul Christy News ever. EVER.
That one has my vote. That was fantastic Paul.
I was laughing so hard when he was doing the hit in the face with a shovel part.
OMG, thank you.
So Dave is stalking Tipper, but he's a bad tipper?
Bauer22 01-28-2008, 02:21 PM You know what. I gonna stop saying "Good podcast" from now on. They're all great. I'll just comment when they suck.
I thought it was funny when Tipper Queen gave a shout out to her team/friends. Like they actually listen to this tras... wonderful podcast..:cool: (Oh talking about her...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SZjLUIfYppE)
Am I the only one here not surprised by Dave not tipping? I still cant believe it Dave. I will only give a bad tip (If you can consider and amount of money "bad") if the service sucked and the person was a real tool. Also the whole "I dont have money" thing doesn't work. You'll be payed off in quality in service if you tip nicely. You never know when that waiter becomes owner and remembers how you tip.
So Dave is stalking Tipper, but he's a bad tipper?
I know it's like one of those "If a tree falls in the forest.." kinda thing.
rcwpong 01-28-2008, 02:21 PM Usually tipped 1 to 2 dollars for pizza when I was younger. After delivering for Dominos I now tip at least 3 dollars, especially since gas is ridiculously expensive now. Rural starting and stopping a car for 4-5 hours every evening is one of the quickest ways to trash your car. They need the money.
Dave, take your PSP/DS and kill the absolutely unbearable 5 minutes you'd have to wait while the poor guy drove 2 blocks and meet him at the door.
Bacontastic 01-28-2008, 02:34 PM I think that was the quickest belly-laugh from a SG podcast I've ever had..."Jack Thompson hit in the face with a shovel!" I love it! :D
strika234 01-28-2008, 02:40 PM "lets hear that in slow mo."
great show guys, this one made me laugh more than usual.
They just keep getting better and better. Keep It up!
VinDali 01-28-2008, 03:24 PM I know it's like one of those "If a tree falls in the forest.." kinda thing.
Personally, the one I like better is, "If a man is standing in the middle of the forest speaking and there is no women around to hear him...is he still wrong?" :D
Bauer22 01-28-2008, 03:25 PM Personally, the one I like better is, "If a man is standing in the middle of the forest speaking and there is no woman around to hear him...is he still wrong?"
ZING+1:D
Ploogle 01-28-2008, 04:02 PM Haven't heard it yet...but I will soon!
mrpuggywuggy 01-28-2008, 04:02 PM Awesome show again guys.
The paul christy news section was very funny :)
And dave you should have given the pizza guy something even if its just $1.00 it will make make him faster the next time you order a pizza.
photomaster94 01-28-2008, 04:53 PM love the jack tomson thing at the beginning. dave, you are a terrible tipper
MassEffect 01-28-2008, 04:57 PM Loved the show. And Dave, You messed me up. I was actually going to suggest they should lay off of you on the show and then you have to go and be a bad tipper. I can't believe you. Any ways keep doing what you guys do, and remember. Keep it Realer.
VinDali 01-28-2008, 05:05 PM Ms. Lawrence said that since the controversy over her remarks erupted she had watched someone play the game for about two and a half hours. "I recognize that I misspoke," she said. "I really regret saying that, and now that I've seen the game and seen the sex scenes it's kind of a joke.
"Before the show I had asked somebody about what they had heard, and they had said it's like pornography," she added. "But it's not like pornography. I've seen episodes of 'Lost' that are more sexually explicit."
source Kotaku
Did she really watch someone play? Or just does not want more bad reviews from gamers on her books?
photomaster94 01-28-2008, 05:44 PM it was sad not having alex there, but also a nice change to have a guest host. i would defiantly have another guest come in and host
MeggaMan 01-28-2008, 06:13 PM Paul Christy FTW!
Great podcast guys love the Waynes World thing, keep it up
SupaSlick 01-28-2008, 06:25 PM it was sad not having alex there, but also a nice change to have a guest host. i would defiantly have another guest come in and host
Glad I haven't been forgotten just yet! Great show guys.
VinDali 01-28-2008, 06:37 PM Glad I haven't been forgotten just yet! Great show guys.
Who are you again? :confused:
;)
naruto20 01-28-2008, 06:51 PM Best episode ever.
Hey dave your cheap so visit the cheap ass gamer. :D
Shame on you its his minutes shame dave your going towards bad karma. :/
VinDali 01-28-2008, 07:13 PM I must say in Dave's defense, just how many minutes would the delivery guy have used to tell Dave he was downstairs? Maybe 1 minute? 2 tops.
If 1 minute of cell phone time equals a better (or any) tip for the delivery guy, then he should have called.
Did you say it was at night when you ordered the Pizza?
Who does not get free nights and weekends these days?
Well Dave, I tried.
Honestly though, you absolutely have to tip the person who comes to you, when you don't feel like going anywhere (or too busy), and brings you a hot pie.
Frawlz 01-28-2008, 07:22 PM I love ya Doc... but I have to go with Dave on this one.
I have never had a pizza guy NOT call me because of him min. Infact they carry these phones for cases like those.
I am sure if they guy had a girl friend and needed her to come down stairs for a date, he would call...
But when someone who is going to give you 3 bucks for a 1 min phone call? SUCK IT UP.
I wouldn't have given him a tip either. Infact I would never call that pizza place again untill they either start paying for the delivery guys phone bill, or they get a new delivery guy. Either way, I wouldn't want to deal with that crap!
450min for $39.99 a month??? Thats 8 cents for one min. Give the guy a dime and he will make money on the deal.
Doc... you have to agree with me here?
Tinman 01-28-2008, 08:11 PM I don't really care because my pizza guy, Steve, is awesome. That's all I have on that.
Tipper is awesome, too. I want to watch her play with that plastic controller again, though.
What was Foo Mo Jive's personality test result? Easy going!

Only if he isguaranteed a tip... With so many daves in this world, I don't think you can guarantee that.
strika234 01-28-2008, 10:04 PM Only if he isguaranteed a tip... With so many daves in this world, I don't think you can guarantee that.
but don't you think risking 8 cents for like 3 bucks is worth it?
heyfling 01-28-2008, 10:08 PM First of all, the guy phoned you when he was leaving, any normal person would know how long it is going to take for someone to get to their house from the pizza store. You should have estimated what time he would have arrived at your house. Most pizza places are approximately 5-15 minutes away, so you should have been waiting at the doors 5-15 minutes after the guy called you. Second, if your going to order food to be delivered then you should tip the delivery driver, it is just common courtesy. Third, if you don't want to tip then go to the pizza store, it is just as easy, it saves complaining and you don't have to tip anyone.
wittysarcasm88 01-28-2008, 10:37 PM Tipper is my new idol. Lol.
The only time I've ever considered not tipping the pizza guy was once when I called to get it delivered, finished watching my Lost Season 3: Disc 1, went to go put it in the mailbox, and on the way back the pizza guy happened to pull up in front of the house. The butthead didn't even get out of his car. He just rolled down the window and handed me my pizza. *shrug* I still gave him $2, but it might have been more if he had actually opened the door.
refinedsugar 01-28-2008, 10:44 PM Yeah, it's the principle. My nearest pizza house is less than a minute away by car, five minutes by foot, but I still tip 'em.
naruto20 01-28-2008, 10:48 PM But he is poor as dirt he cant afford minutes. :'(
8bitBass 01-28-2008, 11:14 PM Great Show Guys. This is my fourth one and I'm hooked! I Loved the roasting with FMJ, he was a good sport though he never explained really why he was playing it on easy. What happened to the "anti-bell?" I miss it.
Funny that this show features a "Tipper" and a "non-tipper."
My 2 cents (or 8 cents) on this: Anyone who will be handling your food in the future (i.e. waiter or pizza guy) should probably be tipped. Dave, what if you call in another order next time with the same guy? What do you think he is going to do with your pizza before he gives it to you if you had stiffed him the time before?
Yeah he was a cheapskate for fussing about his cell minutes, but he did drive it out to you.

He's not going to do anything wrong to the pizza, but 'stiffers' as we call them are last priority on our list. I have to agree that the guy was a little stingy with his minutes, it doesn't take a lot of time to call someone and let them know you're there.
Were I working and unable to call you when I got there for whatever reason, I would've apologized like 3 times when I called from the store, then got to the place as soon as possible. I know some pizza guys can be jerks, I'm certainly not one of them.
Rapahatsutt 01-29-2008, 12:01 PM great episode. twice as good because i was on it too. lol Keep up the good work.
Meta666 01-29-2008, 01:30 PM Great podcast. I burst out laughing in my computer lab, I think they thought I was insane. :p
V3NOM 01-29-2008, 05:42 PM Saving some funny stories for Paul Christy only (rather than posting them all) is an awesome idea. The intro to the podcast was awesome.
The rest of the show was great as usual. FMJ sounded a bit like he was covering his ass about Halo 3 on Easy, but that's probably because he was. :p
You know, Dave, you could have offered to tip an extra $2 to compensate for the minute. Sounds like the delivery guy was being a little stingy, but you can't really demand otherwise of him, can you? You shouldn't have told him to call you at all.
iPlayPC 01-29-2008, 06:55 PM great episode. twice as good because i was on it too. lol Keep up the good work.
you were on it?
Great episode.
Darth Dave 01-30-2008, 02:12 AM Concerning the episode: Fantastic as usual.
Concerning the tipping issue: So Dave didn't tip in this one instance. Maybe he had higher standards of pizza delivery than he should have. Meh. No need to chew his head off ::cough cough:: Doc.
Oh, and am I the only one who finds the whole high pitched, make-fun-of-Dave voice kind of.... annoying? No offense, I love everything else about the podcast, and the voice was sort of funny when it was originally brought up in whatever episode, but it got old quick.
Just voicing my opinion.

Wow, dave, the least you could do would be to make a new account that doesn't have "Dave" in the name...
Good Grief.
CaptainDDL 01-30-2008, 08:17 AM Wow, dave, the least you could do would be to make a new account that doesn't have "Dave" in the name...
Good Grief.
Hell, the IP address even traces to Texas.
Frawlz 01-30-2008, 08:39 AM Is Dave being trained by the sith?
Chrono 01-30-2008, 03:32 PM mabye all the pressure of the podcast made him develop spilt personality
strika234 01-30-2008, 04:44 PM the guys location says austin...

Thanks buddy!!! I'll see if I can put up a couple more.
Oh, and does Darth Dave tip?
MassEffect 01-30-2008, 05:56 PM I think you guys should lay off of dave. I mean why don't you guys ever get on Drew or Doc or Lono. They all make stupid comments. You guys are mean sometimes.
Frawlz 01-30-2008, 06:02 PM Doc is the boss... Drew (who is drew?)
Lono... he gets picked on the most (off the air).
Dave has a "special" following. If this was a movie... he would be the one to kiss the girl in the end. That's if he is even into chicks.
Ploogle 01-30-2008, 07:20 PM Man, this was an amazing episode!
I wanna write a book now...
Darth Dave 01-31-2008, 02:27 AM No, I'm not the Dave.
And yeah, I tip. Just not generously.
ShockwaveLover 01-31-2008, 06:02 AM I think you guys should lay off of dave. I mean why don't you guys ever get on Drew or Doc or Lono. They all make stupid comments. You guys are mean sometimes.
ANOTHER Dave personality?! What is he, schizophrenic?
Saccia 01-31-2008, 10:13 AM Dave, you should tip you cheap bastard.
MassEffect 01-31-2008, 03:46 PM ANOTHER Dave personality?! What is he, schizophrenic?
Hey I'm really am not dave. I just feel that everybody should be a little nicer to dave.
calmHERETIK 01-31-2008, 07:50 PM ya i have a couple of questions;
1)why does doc never get picked on?(i know that sounds mean but i dont mean it to be mean)
2)Where the H311 did Drew go?
3)why isnt my itunes review showing up i typed it up last week still havent seen it up there??!...
and guys i am going to be gone for a while i am giving video games up for lent i am also giving up everything that has to do with video games so i can get everything straight in my life... see ya later, well i will be here until next tuesday so lets play on cod4!
strika234 01-31-2008, 07:54 PM ya i have a couple of questions;
1)why does doc never get picked on?(i know that sounds mean but i dont mean it to be mean)
do you not remember the podcast episode when lono and alex rebell against the bell?
I think that counts...
calmHERETIK 01-31-2008, 07:55 PM do you not remember the podcast episode when lono and alex rebell against the bell?
I think that counts...
thank u 4 that... i guess i never took that into consideration!
Hey gang,
This is a long time overdue. To all of you guys and gals that not only support this show by listening, but also get involved in these discussions of the show here in the forums.... I just want to say thank you. Nothing could have made me feel better coming out of a flu-induced fever delrium than to see more than 5 pages of comments on a show that we were VERY unsure about when we first recorded it.
Thanks for making a couple of goofballs feel like a million bucks every week. When our everyday lives encroach on creating a new episode, a lot of times its you guys that pushes it through.
Thanks.... to all of you.
I'm glad you're here.
Doc
profcory 01-31-2008, 11:26 PM Ahh...good stuff, good stuff.
For better or worse, you guys certainly can be an authority on gaming, or at least humor.
More than 17 worldwide!
ShockwaveLover 01-31-2008, 11:31 PM Maybe you should do all of your shows in a flu-induced delerium Doc, this has got to be my favourite episode since Ep. 14! Jack Thompson + Shovel = Paul Christy Fun Time!
naruto20 02-03-2008, 10:44 PM Woo jack thompson beat down.
Ryobin 02-05-2008, 04:59 AM i think tipping is stupid...but thats because im from australia and we dont really do it here btw another great episode guys
A Rabid Moose 02-05-2008, 04:46 PM Dave is right not to tip the guy. He might have even given the pizza guy more of a tip if Doc wasn't a dick then.
Tip jars in Gamestop. This is why the economy is having a ressesion.
jhakai 02-09-2008, 05:45 PM Awesome episode as usual. i really loved the beginnig about Jack Thompson. i have been here since episode 10 but this is my first post.
Lono_Lives 02-10-2008, 05:46 AM Awesome episode as usual. i really loved the beginnig about Jack Thompson. i have been here since episode 10 but this is my first post.
Welcome!!!!
naruto20 02-10-2008, 03:39 PM At least the pizza guy makes fun of you for buying ps3 games.
damn all gamestop and eb games employees gives you mean suggestions to sell back your ps3 and get a 360!!
Aiden Sana 02-20-2008, 09:00 AM holy crap dave. why can't you tip the friggin' pizza man?!?!?! he hardly works for minimum wage!!!!
codinthepocket 03-05-2008, 03:06 PM my god dave what is up with that? if you had delivered, would you be fine with not being tipped? I just lost some respect for you. The only respect i have for you is the fact that you are still taking the shows out. Btw just admit that you actually sound like that when you talked to Calyber. You cant deny it Dave. It's on tape.
Maulin 03-05-2008, 07:04 PM Why did you revive this dead thread? You must be some kind of necromancer...

He just listened to it. It's happening a lot lately. It's kinda fun to go back and see some of these.
Tinman 03-05-2008, 07:06 PM Yeah...Doc's right. Don't flame new people.
Maulin 03-05-2008, 07:34 PM Yeah...Doc's right. Don't flame new people.
Jeez. I was just making a joke. Next time I'll put in an emoticon or whatever its called.:(
