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. They are also joined regularly by Ming Chen, who works on the many View Askew websites. 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.
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 abdout 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. 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.
Sixteen episodes were made exclusively for Zune in 2011. A seventeenth episode was recorded but never released. As of January 2013, all Overkill episodes including an intro/retrospective and the seventeenth unreleased episode are available for purchase from their bandcamp.
