Tell 'Em Steve-Dave! is a podcast on the SModcast Podcast Network. It is hosted by View Askew Productions regulars and close friends of Kevin Smith; Bryan Johnson, Walt Flanagan, as well as Brian Quinn (of Impractical Jokers fame). They are also joined regularly by Ming Chen, who works on the many View Askew websites.[1] On occasion, the group has also been joined by Sunday Jeff, who works the Sunday shift at Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash. Jeff was also a host on the podcast Puck Nuts. Johnson played Steve-Dave and Flanagan played Fanboy who yelled "Tell 'em, Steve-Dave!" in Mallrats and Clerks: The Animated Series.

The podcast is recorded at Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash in Red Bank, New Jersey, and edited by Declan Quinn of Creaky Studios. Music by J-Sarge.

History

The podcast was originally started by Johnson and Flanagan, with Quinn working the audio. The podcast discusses its own history in numerous episodes available at the SModCo website.

The show influenced the creation of the 2012 AMC TV reality show Comic Book Men. The show is set in the Stash and the cast includes Walt, Bryan, Ming, Mike, and Kevin. A producer on Smith's film Red State knew someone at AMC and talked to Smith about doing a TV show. Smith had the idea of a comic store version of Pawn Stars. The network liked it and the search for a suitable store began. An AMC producer heard the TESD podcast, and this eventually led to the show being set in the Secret Stash store itself.[2] Johnson can be seen wearing a TESD shirt during many episodes of the show. His arm tattoo also features a zombified picture of his niece wearing a TESD shirt.[3]

Awards and recognition

Followers

Fans of the podcast are referred to as ants. Images designed by Walt Flanagan have appeared on T-shirts and USB dog tags available from Tell em Steve Dave's online store. It is customary when meeting a fellow ant in the wild to offer an ant salute rather than a handshake in reverence to the guys' dislike of human contact. A gathering of ants is referred to as a Moot or incorrectly in the US as a swarm (a swarm being when ants are called upon to troll wrongdoers on social media) Antmoots have been spotted in Manchester, UK, London, UK, Redbank NJ and, Nottingham, UK in August. The Nottingham Moot included games of Roll a Role and Four Colour Demon Themed doughnuts. To celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Space Monkeys "Jolly Old England" tour in 2011, the Manchester, UK chapter of the Four Colour Demons held an Antmoot at Fab Cafe on Sunday 18th September, the exact day and date of the Manchester date of the tour. One True Three was played, as well as a special message from Bryan Johnson, which also included a clip from the show where Col. Brian Quinn talks about why he loves Manchester.

The next planned Antmoot, in keeping with TESD, is scheduled for Halloween, in Manchester, UK.
