Stavvy's World #41 - HBO's The Telemarketers | Full Episode

Opa! Welcome everybody to Stop This World. We're back, baby. 904-800-STOP. Call
in, we will solve all your problems.
We have a little bit of a special episode here, folks. We have from HBO's Telemarketers.
It's a great limited series, like a limited documentary on HBO right now.
Fucking rules. I was lucky enough to go to the premiere. It was fucking sick,
and I was like, we gotta get some fellas from the doc on the pod to talk about
this shit.
So we have the creator, Sam Lipmanstern, and we got my boy, Chris Pasek.
That's it.
Fuck yeah, dude. If I had just said it with confidence, no one would have been
the wiser.
And then if I fucked it up, I'd be like, oh, my bad. I was in no man's land
there, folks. Let that be a lesson.
If you're unsure of what to do with the name, go in with confidence. And if you
fucked it up, you know what I mean? You apologize, but you take your swings.
So be bold in life. Don't be a bitch like me starting the podcast. But Chris
and Sam, thanks for coming, boys.
Thank you so much for having us.
So for those of you who don't know, obviously, the listeners of Stop This World,
Telemarketers, it's on HBO right now.
You can get it on Macs whenever the fuck you want. Fire it up. It's a wild
story.
Like this shit is because I was I don't know if you guys know. I was also a
telemarketer.
So, Sam, the way the way this whole thing started was you were a telemarketer
at a very shitty, like an insanely shitty telemarketing firm.
Like one of the most it was like it was like Fallujah over there.
So at the premiere, you guys screened the first episode. There's three total
episodes. And I was like, it was fucking wild. Eldis, I assume you didn't watch
it like I told you to. Is that correct?
That is correct. Sorry.
Great. Perfect, Eldis.
It's not all good.
Fellas, please let me handle my employee as I wish, please.
Don't get in the way when I'm disciplining Eldis for not preparing. God forbid
you fucking turn it on. I know he has nothing to do. That's the thing.
We're together so much time that I know when he's going home. What did you
watch yesterday, Eldis? Let's start there.
When you went home, what did you take in? What media?
I watched a couple of Pawn Stars.
You watched a couple of Pawn Stars?
Damn.
Instead of preparing.
That hurts, dude. That actually hurts.
He has Max. I know that he has the capacity to do it. I would have given him my
password if he wanted to. But no, our boy went home.
For what it's worth, I am logged out of the Max login that I have at the moment.
What was the best piece of equipment? What was the best thing on Pawn Stars?
What would you say? What piece of memorabilia made the most mark on you, Eldis,
from yesterday?
I don't know. I wasn't even paying that much attention. I was kind of scrolling
on my phone while watching.
Well, there you have it, folks. So Eldis will be able to weigh in quite a bit
during this conversation.
But the doc is awesome. And so just kind of take us, like, you were young as
fuck. That's the other thing.
So how old are you now, bud?
36.
36. And you were working at this place. How old were you?
14.
You were 14?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
So they're breaking law. You're not allowed to...
I think so. In Jersey, I had to go to school with my mom to get my working
papers.
14 still seems pretty young.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
No, that's a very good point. But before this conversation really gets going
and we talk about
your great documentary, I'd like to thank our sponsors. Starting with DraftKings.

What were you guys
saying? That's wild. Dude, I fucking... Could you do any kind of labor at 14
with that? Like,
could they have you in a fucking meat packing plant? That's a good question.
That's a really
good question. Because that seems fucked up, right? Like telemarketing is one
thing, but
yeah, manual labor. You're right. That does sound so plugged up. Yeah. And
Chris, by the
way, we should say you edited the whole thing. So you went through, I mean, how
much footage
did you have from 14 to... Like over 100 hours. Over 100 hours. Damn. And some
of the footage
starts when you're 14. So this is a really interesting doc because it kind of
spans from when you're
14 to like a few years ago. Basically now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Which is fucking
crazy. So you
had, you know, you're working with 20 years and hundreds of hours of fucking
footage and
shit, which is awesome. Yeah. There was a lot of like 14 year olds. There was
like hours and
hours just of like 12 year olds smoking bomb. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was about
96 hours.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's a clip of that, but that was, yeah.
There was a lot more where that came from.
You getting high and watching like Beastmaster. Oh dude, Beastmaster was
fucking awesome. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I remember that. That was like Saturday mornings. Yeah. Yeah. It was part of
the like Xena and Hercules block. Oh, those were great times.
Great stuff, dude. I was all over that. A lot of beating off to Xena early on
in my life. Shout out
Lucy Lawless. And then Gabrielle. Gabrielle. Gabrielle was. What's the lesbian
version of a twink? Does
anybody know what that is? They got to have a word for that. They're kind of
progressive in a way when
you think about it for the time. Well, clearly, I mean, I guess, but what was
the age gap? Now let's
really talk about it. There was a serious age gap. Is Xena a groomer? Xena, Xena
the warrior princess,
a classic groomer. How old was Gabrielle? Let's fucking talk about it, dude. Oh
shit. Yeah. Yeah. And
you don't think that's, we'll really get progressive when we started talking
about lesbian age gaps.
We're not there yet. It's mostly about guys, but we will get there as a society.
One day we will,
you know, but there's whatever Gabrielle, I don't know the parlance. Apologies
to the lesbian
listeners of Stavi's world. I have many, many dear lesbian friends. I fucked up.
I text me,
let me know what a lesbian, the equivalent of a lesbian twink is. I mean, it's
not lips.
That's a different thing. Anyway, uh, so you're getting high, you're watching
Beastmaster, Xena,
Hercules, and you're also, and Pokemon, and Pokemon, of course. I was, I
remember smoking weed coming
home from school and watching Pokemon. I was a little too old. I was like 12 or
13, but that
shit was fire, dude, at that age. That's so awesome that you're getting high
and watching Pokemon.
I remember that. That's the classic. Like Dan Soder has a great joke. He talked
about it on this
podcast too, where he was, he grew up white trash and he started smoking so
young that there was an
overlap where he still played with action figures and smoked cigarettes. And
that's, that's not as
extreme, but fucking firing, rolling your own joint and watching Ash get his
fucking water badge while
you're high. Like really good memories. And I gotta say, that sounds awesome. I
was too scared to smoke
weed at 13, but I started smoking weed. I remember there was like one kid who
was Jewish. I will say,
I don't know what that's about. Yeah. Jews smoking weed early. We have one here.
I'm a hippie Jew.
Yeah. Yeah. There was, there's, I guess that's what it was. There's that big
contingent of like hippie
Jew parents that just like weed was around to me. That was my family. Okay.
Hell yeah. Yeah. That was my
family. Like, is it, are we talking like commune style? Really? Yeah. Yeah. So
I grew up,
I grew up like kind of like, I guess like lower middle-class and like apartment
complexes in Jersey.
Okay. Okay. Which I love because they're super diverse. Yeah. So you have like
all kinds of
people living in really tight space. Totally. You got like an African dude
downstairs from like,
you know, that was fleeing the civil war. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. From China
next door and,
and Greek and Colombian and just kids like running around the apartment complex
growing up together. Yeah.
But my family was hippie Jews. Interesting. Yeah. So my mom lived on a kibbutz
in Israel. Really?
That's kind of where she got some of these ideas. Damn. Where they like, uh.
Yeah. That's like,
that's like almost like, uh, distilled communism. Yeah. Where there's not even
government. It's like,
we are just all working to make this farm fucking like function. Yeah. And that's
it. No one gets any
wages. No. It's just pure survival. Yeah, dude. It's kind of interesting. And
then,
so, but we grew up in central Jersey. So we were like the only hippie family in
that area. Yeah,
yeah, yeah. And my, uh, my parents went to like polyamory. Oh my God. Which I
can talk about now.
Yes, dude. With no emotions. Thanks to therapy. I can talk about it. Dude, that's
my favorite thing in
the world is the children. It's one thing to mock the polyamorous, right? Sure.
And by the way,
shout out to some, there's some polyamorous ladies. Shout out to the polyamorous
community. Shout out to them.
It's awesome. I have a couple of friends in open relationships who we hang out
and they'll give me
top. That's awesome. That's a cool setup. It is awesome. So shout out to them.
Right. But this is
where I always have, and I can even kind of entertain the idea where it always
is a problem is when a child
is in the mix. Yeah. Yeah. I'm the result of hippie, polyamorous. I'll talk
about, you can talk about,
ask me questions all day. Yeah. I would love, yeah. So, so you're, so that's
why you want to,
it's like, why is he getting a job at 14? It's like to stop listening to his
parents gang bang,
his family friend, to stop hearing aunt. That's not that far off. Aunt Jenna
getting her
pussy eaten by my mom in the next room. Ma, I want to, I need to start working.
I'm tired. You can only turn
Pokemon up so loud. He can only drown out. That is, yeah, not that far off,
unfortunately. Squirtle,
Blastoise's fucking attacks can only fucking. Fucking taking bong hits and
trying to drown out the sorrow.
That's awesome. That's what allowed me to fucking leave school and start telemarketing,
dude. Your
parents were so horny. You, they allowed you to drop out of school. They're
like, yeah, whatever,
man. I'm trying to get this nut off. I'll sign whatever you need me to sign.
That was basically
it. Yeah. And here I am today, too. We will return to that. Yes. Without
question. Any questions
about that? I'm open. Here's a therapy. Now I can just talk openly, no emotions.
I'll fill you in any
detail. Did they ever tell you to scram so they could host an orgy? No, they
never asked me to scram,
but uh. They never hosted. There was a definitely. That's probably more because
your apartment was so
shitty. It was a small apartment. They wouldn't dare bring their friends over
to fucking it. Yeah,
it was not good. But there was a, there was a, we had a Puerto Rican shaman
living on the couch.
There was a psychic living in the attic. There was like a homeless dude living
in the pantry
and his feet would just stick out. Like my brother's growing weed in the closet
who you met.
My house is wild, man. Oh, did they fuck the Puerto Rican shaman or was it just
no, but the psychic did fuck this Puerto Ric
