Episode Date: September 19, 2026

Vito Gesualdi and Karl from WhoAreThese.com discuss planning your celebrity retirement

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Biggest Problem 241 with my best friend, trusted confidant and longtime supporter, Carl Hamburger. How you doing, Carl? I'm doing well, Vito. Good to see you, my friend. I'm excited to have you here. And what's interesting is this is your second week in a row here on Biggest Problem. Did you miss us that badly? This is how rumors are going to get started right now.

You know, there's already been some speculation up there. chip on the side little couple hand jobs under the picnic table uh car can i be honest with you go ahead i hope you don't get too upset with me those were pity hand those were pity hand jobs well you know i'll take what i can get they felt they felt they felt good i told you at the time and you said don't stop now i'm well aware you'll take what you can get hey all i want you know what i'm i'm really just there for the eye contact that's all it is uh that's the worst part I'd rather the sploge my eyes contact than would you stare deeply into my eyes.

Just look at me, Carl. Look at me like you look at your French women. Guys have been talking to Carl, and Carl has agreed to be an interim host as we continue down this, what do you call it, endless journey of figuring out where we go with this show. I'm going to get you past the hump over the bridge,

whatever you need to figure this. shit out. Well, the point is mostly that I don't want to spend every week going, oh my God, who the fuck's going to be on the show this week and having to keep begging people to come on? And luckily, Carl's workhorse. That's right.

Got a lot of free time. Emphasis on the horse. Whoa. So Dick Masters was talking about talking about me on the show. I have the clip. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This was on a show called The Dick Show. You might be familiar with it. It's talking to Johnny.

The audio engineer here. Hey, is Carl the new co-hosts to the biggest problem or what? He must be. He must be. Right? Carl's got, Carl better be holding out for a good deal if he is. He better be. He should be asking for 50% of the gross.

Not the net. Carl deserves 50% of the gross. He's got multiple successful shows. Vito doesn't have shit. Right, Carl's got the street crowd to back it up, man. Carl's got shows, Carl's got connects, Carl's got right-wing humor. That's very,

hard to find. Worked on eBombs world too, man. He's got, he's got the pedigree. He's got the pedigree. He should demand 50% of the gross, not this net shit. He should get 75% of the gross. He should get... Wow! He's an actual... He doesn't keep the super chats. That's fair. That's fair. You know? Yeah. That's game time. The super chat should dwarf the Patreon, you know? It's an easy formula. Look, he's dealing with 100% of what's gross. So he should get 50% of Vee. Oh, that's a low blow.

Johnny just called you gross. That's a low blow. So the way I understand it is that Dick gets 25% of, is it the gross or the net? Uh, you should know the answer to this. What's the difference? Well, what would be your net? The net would be 25% of the pay. On the income.

Derr was in the income. Well, okay. So, you know, Johnny's saying I should get 75% would you potentially lose money if I got 70% of the gross? and Dick's taking 20% of the net. How would I not lose money? How would I hold that money? But I mean, you actually have to pay money out of pocket in order to keep the show going, is my question.

Is that what's going to happen? I am currently taking money from the, yeah, yeah, I'm paying money out to keep the show going. People are getting funded. Carl's trying to figure out the best possible way to stack this to his advantage. No, I want this show. I want you to be on Skid Row eventually. I'm on my way there. I'm on my way.

In a tent surrounded by action figures doing the show. with me. I hear they have pretty good Wi-Fi down at Skid Row. It's one of the things that your lovely mayor has supplied them with. Well, yeah, California, I'll be fine. I got plenty of places to live. I can live in a shack on the side of the street and I'll have running lights and hot food at three times a day. I think, look, I've been making some moves to not get homeless. I've been looking into the exciting realm of furry fendombing. I think I'm going to be Wolfmaster's 96. I go to people and I go, hey, if you really, you know, want to put on your bunny outfit and come, you got to pay me $5. And I haven't had any takers yet, but I think there's potential there.

There are things that are less degrading. You can sell oranges. I don't know the road. Yeah, way for people to like be stopped at a stoplight and sell them oranges. I feel like that'd be a better move. I mean, we could just rename this show to Vito's dwindling income and social cashier. I think that's very possible. That's what we all call it. now. You don't have to do that officially. That's just what we say behind your back. Hey, look, Vito's bleeding money like a psychopath. Yeah. Uh, times are tough for a lot of people, Carl, you know, but luckily, I'll say this. Hey, at least the show is, uh, listenable. It's fun. People enjoy it. I don't know. I don't have no excuses anymore. I got Carl. Look, we got Carl.

Everybody likes Carl, right? Look, I need you to save this fucking thing. Here's the thing, Carl. I'm not going to lie. I look at the, uh, I look at you and the podcasts and, you know, all the people are excited and zazzed and having a good time. And, uh, I'm hoping as interim hosts, you can bring some of that fun to the, uh, to the experience. Fuck you. You're setting me up to fail right now. I, I see what you're doing. I don't appreciate it. I know. I know, uh, all I can say is, uh, I appreciate you helping, helping me out. Well, yeah, I'm excited about it. I got, I brought. I brought. some great problems. I love this show and I'm excited to be a part of it two weeks in a row.

Yeah. And we had we had a good show last week. We had great problems and I have the winners. Oh good. From last week. Let me see here. I think I have a shitty drum roll, right? No, I don't have a shitty drum roll. I have the oh yeah lady. She was not cued up correctly. The winner from last week was me. The death of physical media with 48 of those. That was number one. You came in second with white men letting their Asian girlfriends drive. A distant second, though. Death of physical media was a better problem for sure. Well, I had a lot of stats.

You just had racism, which normally goes a long way on the show. Just racism? Yeah, it's like, I didn't bring enough. You need more props. You needed some chopsticks. A little of this will get you go a long way. You're going to learn the format. So offensive.

So offensive. As you go along, you're going to learn. There's little tricks to get extra votes, you know? You just beat me to it. the reason why I'm mad at you right now. Exactly. You were about to go there. I'm already there. I'm 10 steps ahead on the racism train. No more mythological figures was number 14, even though I brought up Bill Cosby as an example of a potential mythological figure. I don't know why you got that. That problem was a little

all over the place. And then 9-11 false valor was almost negative. You ended up getting one up vote in the end. What's up with that? I did think about it though. And I said, you know what? I should have pushed back on Carl a little more because who gives a shit? If a guy says, yeah, I was in all the plane crashes, give me money. It's kind of funny. You know, it's like, good. You know what?

I think about it. That's a good point. Who does give a shit? It's not a problem at all. I don't care. Yeah. Oh, no. He pretended he was in this fucking thing.

Like, yeah. Steve Rade Azizzi? Am I like, I don't like his comedy anymore because he said he was at 9-11. I don't care. If he's funny, he's funny. I think the false valor military guys are pretty funny. You know, it's like cool. Yeah.

That is true. Those guys are cool. Like, they're just walking around and getting free shit like yeah I served in the Australian world war it was a big problem here's what I like about those guys is that they didn't go to Vietnam because they're too smart for that but they still get to complain about it and then the Vietnam registers are like yeah but I was actually in Vietnam like well whose fault is that right you're stupid you went to Vietnam this guy didn't go and he gets all the same free shit should have been born club footed you could have gotten out of it you could

have had uh bone spurs wasn't that Trump's thing who had bone, everyone had bones spurs. I saw the funniest thing I saw was because the guys who went to Vietnam, they got fucked up. But somebody said, what was it, McCain? You know, McCain was always like, and I can't even lift my child because I can't lift my arms. Yeah, McCain was always putting his arms over his head and saying, my arms are broken. I like what I can't do.

Yeah, yeah. And somebody said, Megan McCain is a fat little girl, was going up to dad, being like, Daddy, lift me, daddy lift me. He went, uh, I can't because my arms got fucked up in the war, not because you're a big fat lady. Well, my favorite was when Trump said he prefers people who don't get captured. What are the funnier things? That's a really shitty thing to say.

Is it? This is not a joke. I thought that was pretty funny. I mean, getting captured is not necessarily your fault. I guess you could have hidden a little better. But, you know, your plan didn't his plane go down or something? How did he get captured? Who could possibly not?

Who could possibly don't be able to answer to that. Yeah, who could know. I bet here's the thing, though. I know all those Vietnam guys who come back and complain. I bet Vietnamese prison was fun. They just don't want to talk about it. They're always like, oh, I got torture, and there was sharp sticks or whatever else. Right, right.

Small cages. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. If you say so. No, man, you guys are all just hanging out drinking a thin soup with prawns and coconut milk, you know, hanging out playing all the Vietnamese games. Games. One thing I've learned from, uh, one thing I've learned from Guns and Rose is that the, the jungle is a fun place to hang out in.

Yeah. Funning games. They have fun and games in the jungle. Yep. It's probably, it was probably like the jungle book. They're all running around the jungle and talking to bears and having fun and they come back. Oh, Vietnam cell.

It was the worst thing ever. There's a lot of singing going on. Yep. All those Vietnamese people live in the jungle. They seemed happy until we showed up and started burning all their shit. Yeah. Yeah. They're like, hey, guess what we just discovered?

Comedy of them. This shit rules. And we're like, you can't do that. No, no, no, no, no. They're like, why it seems awesome. Yeah, it's fun. We're having fun. And then we went, no, no, you have to contribute to our global capitalist system.

What are we talking about again? We're talking about Vietnam. We're also talking about last episode. And there should be some comments from last episode. Did you have a couple comments that we have here? Yeah. Yeah. So Floppy Baker says,

Sips's boy does like eight shows. and still finds time to do this multiple times. Props to him. I think that's about me. Thank you. You do have a lot. How many shows do you have going on right now? This is my third one today.

Does that mean anything? That's a little much, Carl. It is. I did the creep off at noon. And then at 4 o'clock, I hosted this little piggy. And they kept me on longer than I wanted to be. And now here I am. Is that, is that a, are you doing that every Friday?

Or did they call you in, like, special? No, I do the creep off and this little piggy every Friday. By the way, last week we did Thursday. I heard people complaining that we can't figure out a time to do this kind of thing. I couldn't do Thursday this week with Vito because the bills were on. The bills were playing. Yeah. You can't miss your billies.

That's what people say. The billies. I know a lot about the sports. Heather McGruston says, Carl and Vito have great chemistry. Too bad. This has ruined any chances of getting Suttering John on, L.O. Once the last time you actually talked to Stuttering Jones?

For those of you who somehow don't know Carl's history, him and Stuttering John have had quite a rivalry, you know, equal footing, both of them. It's been over a year, maybe two years that I talked to him. I mean, he did sue me a little over a year ago. So I definitely haven't talked to him since then. Oh, are you, is that still going on? That lawsuit is still going on. I wasn't even allowed to talk to his attorney. I went to the Rochester courthouse.

His attorney was here. And I'm like, hey, can I go tell that guy he sucks? And they're like, no, you got a lot to talk to him. Okay. So for the people who don't know, Stuttering John is suing you because you made fun of his couch or something. Yeah, it's a right of publicity lawsuit. So he claims that we sold tickets to both live events and online pay-per-view events because we're like, hey, everyone's Suttery John.

Ah, who wants to buy tickets for this thing? Meanwhile, John plays comedy clubs where he sells six tickets. So I promise you that the allure of Suttery John is not what drives sales. Well, also, men, that's like I shouldn't be talking about this. Again, if you said, I won't, I won't say too much about it, but I will say, if you say, hey, Stuttering John's going to be there, you're going to meet Stuttering John, that would make sense like, no, I'm not there.

You can't use my, you know, thing to say that. But obviously, comedians talk about all sorts of topics. Like if a comedian said, hey, come see my set, I'm going to make fun of Arnold Schwarzenegger. That would be like Arnold Schwarzenegger being like, well, now you're profiting off my image because you're saying you're going to make fun of me on stage. Vito, think about that. this that doesn't make any sense so i brought this to local attorneys first and i was like we're getting sued for this thing and they're like yeah you know he might have a case i went okay

you guys are retarded so then i found a better attorney think about how youtube thumbnails work could you imagine could you imagine every time you put star wars in a thumbnail they're like people are going to think this is star wars like no no no that's so what anyone thinks i would i would be bankrupt there's a number of uh the fucking quartering brie larsen and the trans lady would own his lunch he's got thousands of thumbnails with those ladies yeah i make a beer and play a game official says carl just giving up and going i stink i rushed the beat was so relatable oh my god i think uh drink a beer is another musician guy yeah obviously no you guys are great you played a show on she did play a show last friday it went well it went well we played a show at the beer park here in

rochester and uh yeah outdoor show perfect weather for it a lot of people came out the um i'll have to come out to Rochester and catch an isotope show. What are you guys doing your West Coast tour? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'll tell you a quick anecdote about... What? You're not coming out here. You're not going to do it.

It's definitely not worth my time. I'll tell you quick anecdote about the show that I did on Friday last week. It was 9-11. It was the date was the 11th September. And we have this... Who doesn't want to rock out on 9-11? I don't know. I wouldn't you.

The announcer of the isotopes. We have this pre-recorded announcer comes in between songs. We don't talk. have any microphones on stage and so he like makes these announcements they're actually just jokes in between songs we had a lot of 9-11 jokes because i figured it was topical and the security guard at this place was going to shut our show down in between sets she goes all right you guys are done we're we're closing it down and she told that to why she told us the producer chris our base players and people are offended you guys have gone too far so you told our base player you guys

are shutting it down so the base player comes over i'm talking people he grabs me goes carl they want to shut the showdown. Like, what? He's like, yeah, yeah. But I said, let's get the fuck off on stage. Right now is just start playing again. And we just started their second set and we were fine. They didn't shut us down. Did they actually get complaints or was it like an overzealous security guard?

I think the female security guy was the one who was offended. Yeah, I was going to say, I'm sure like a bunch of guys who came to listen to the fucking isotopes are not going, oh my stars. Right. When those buildings fell, I, you know, I can't believe they would joke about such a thing. Vito,

9-11 affected me quite a bit. It was a horrific thing that happened and our foreign policy has been fucked ever since. It's atrocious. I'm paying $4.50 for gas. Listen, it's not great. It's like six bucks here. I hear about you guys in your New York gas.

I'm like, I can pay that. Yeah. And we don't sit in traffic. We actually move when we're driving. You get to drive. LA fucking blows. But that's not the point. The point is 9-11 affected all of us,

but 25 years has passed. I think you can make some, obviously you can make 9-11 jokes. Obviously, it's time. The time has come. My point is, Pearl Harbor, are you going to be upset about that?

You know? Well, it is interesting that, you know, who really does not let this shit go is the Japanese. The Japanese are constantly, not 9-11, but,

internment camps. Internment camps. And also, they don't like you joking about nuclear bombs at all. They go like, don't you know what happened to us? George D.K. Still talks about the Japanese internment camps.

I'm like, I don't know why. Get over it. I'm sorry. Well, he should be happy. Obviously, he turned gay in the internment camp. I don't know exactly what happened. But clearly some other Japanese gentleman or a guard felt him up or something. You know, he should look at it as a learning experience. George is still alive?

As far as I know. Yeah. He's in its 80s. It's funny because we're going to talk. He had that famous. where he was on the Howard Stern show and they were talking about some predator and he's like, ah, George, you would never just randomly grab guys junk, would you? And George Chiquet for some reason was like, oh, yeah, I did that all the time.

Yeah, I basically molested a bunch of young men. And you're like, dude, what are you doing? You're the Star Trek guy. He's a Hollywood star. He grabbed by the pussy. Come on. Aaron Harver says, to be fair, to be fair, I can't argue with Pete Davidson's defense for doing the festival. Well, if the Saudis owe anybody money, it's me.

So fuck it. That is a good point. That's a good point. They killed his dad. If he could make a million bucks off of doing a comedy show, it makes a lot of sense. He might be the only comedian who deserves the Saudi money. Yeah. Not Billy Burr.

At A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, A, Aitonah, A, Aitonement, says, 33, 3.30, firefighters were evacuating everyone in a 15-plus-mile radius from the Twin Towers on 11 because the towers collapsing created a toxic asbestos dust cloud that was miles high and wide, as well as imploding the underground gas system citywide, which risks explosions and fires underneath the buildings without warning the entire city. Hence, firefighters evacuating everyone from the city. Well, Carl, this guy, I didn't see this comment.

This guy was commenting on us. And I think, frankly, you got me in trouble because you're like, why'd Trump say he had to get evacuated? Right. This is bullshit, you know, and then apparently, as this guy put it, what are the rest of the details? He has all the details of the evacuations. It's wrong.

But what Trump said was he was standing outside his building and he was looking up and he's like, oh, is this one going to go down to? And the fireperson, like, we can't chance it. And they just picked it up and started running with him. It wasn't about like air quality. He thought the building was going to collapse on him. It's like, this isn't building seven. It's not going to collapse for no reason. I just don't know how this guy found this specific podcast to lecture us about the events of 9-11.

It goes on and on and on. I don't think it matters what the religion, political affiliation, color or creed of the individuals were who stayed on in NYC to assist with the recovery and rescue efforts were. They're all heroes and deserve our praise. Are they all heroes, though? Because there was probably at least one firefighter who was like, you know, maybe I can get some free shit before this building falls down. Or there's always one.

Or there's one that's like, I don't get paid enough for this fucking shit. You don't want to be running in that building? That building's on fire. Fuck you. I'm sure there are a few. There was some cops who said, they're like, all going to go into that building. And there was a couple cops.

We're like, yeah, I'll watch and make sure no more planes come. You know, there might be a third one coming. This one is hysterical. I'm going to comfort her. Right. I'm going to comfort her in the back of my patrol car. If I see another plane coming, I'll yell so you guys can get out of the building. Yeah.

We don't think another plane's coming, man. Can you come help us? Just I'll be the guy. I'm the spotter. You guys go into the burning death trip. I'm actually going to drive to the Pentagon. Because I hear that there's a plane going that way or a missing. I'm not sure.

They're going to say it's a plane. I'm on my way to the Pentagon, guys. Don't wait for me. Did you do anything for 9-11 other than play a show where you ridiculed survivors? Because I started like looking up 9-11 media. I was watching a video of like an Indian guy telling me how he got out of the building and, you know, how he put his Bible on a table and the table protected him. And I'm like, ah, if only we'd all had a Bible, everybody hold the Bible got out of the fucking building.

Okay. Did I do anything else for 9-11? Yeah, yeah, you know. Yeah, cookouts. You don't go to that in a little cookouts? No, I didn't cut any. Oh, I have a bunch of buddies who just do, we just barbecue all day and, you know, a hacky sack, play some cornhole.

That's a good time. Well, you never want to forget. And speaking of not forgetting, let's not forget to do a beloved segment. I have a voted up stinger right here. Let's see if this works. That was from. Jeff with voted up. Detroit Rock City.

Detroit Rock City. Fantastic. That song is the reason why I stopped singing in bands. We covered that song and I went, I can't hit these notes. I got to find someone who can hit these fucking notes. Is that one? Did you guys, when you started the Icey Telstery, you're like, we're definitely not going to have a singer or really? Yeah, yeah.

Those are always instrumental. I played in lots of bands. I was in a band called Sluts with Chucker Andy. And I was the lead singer in that band. And we covered that side to turn rock city. And I went, I can't do this. Yeah, that's about the time to pack it up once the high notes come around.

And here's a guy who did not have a high note. This is from bonus episode number two. And I know we've covered this recently, but man, I'm getting a lot of these stories people are sending into me. This is the problem of having a small penis. Obviously, me and Carl cannot relate to this problem, but I know many people in the audience. It probably sucks, I would imagine, yeah. It would probably suck. But here's what I'm going to say, Carl.

If you got a small penis, just learn to treasure it, learn to live with what you. Shouldn't you learn to live with what you have? Don't we live in a society? It's all you can do. People are trying to change who they are, trying to lose weight or whatever. You know, just be who you are. I see what you did. I see what you did.

Well, here's what can happen if you try to change yourself, Carl. Never change. Luxury influencer. Igho Tiny Urbeho. Were you a big tiny or Beho fan? Of course. Yeah, yeah. We love this guy.

Well, I have sad news for you. Has died at age 43 after undergoing a penis enlargement surgery in Thailand. So the man went in to get a big pecker, and unfortunately it didn't work out. According to the medical examiner, Urbebo suffered a pulmonary embolism during the surgery. That's when a blood clot basically gets stuck in your lung. What do they consider a large penis in Thailand? Oh, you're going to be at one and a half inches? Dude, we're going to get this thing.

Let's go. A big penis in Thailand. You can't go to an Asian country for penis enlargement surgery. They're going to go in and go, do we already operate on this man? You're right? This looks post-top to me. We're good here, right? Sir, the operation is a success.

It's incredible. Your penis must have grown just from thinking about it because it's already so huge. You could joke on with three fingers. That's how big your penis is. The businessman allegedly had 40 millers of hylolonic acid and lidocane injected into his penis. See, whenever I read about what they're doing to make the penis bigger, it seems like they don't actually know. They just kind of put shit in it. And then, you know, they go, ah, maybe it'll make it grow.

I don't know. Herba. My anger was also just a mistake. You know that, right? It mistake, like, they didn't know it was going to give you a boner. Right. It was for, like, it was a heart medication. They're like, ah, this is going to be good.

for your heart and then everyone they gave it to just got a raging heart out and they went I mean it's boner pill that's what I bet I just spelled that wrong well here I have pictures of this guy again RIP and here's the thing this is going to shock people is uh he was an African American individual and you look at this guy and you go how small I mean do you think in the black community if you have a small penis does that weigh on you more heavily do white guys go, you know, or Chinese guys just go, I have a small penis. What are you going to do? And white guys go, yeah, it could be bigger, but what are you going to do?

I'm not a black guy or something. You're a black guy with a small penis. It might really hurt you. Is Manny Muskett's watching right now? Manny, can you tell us what's it like to be a black man with a small penis? We can't relate to this. We don't know. He was a good looking guy.

I don't know why the pictures are so fucking small on Instagram. Then you suck his dick. I don't know what to tell you, man. Look, he was living his best in life. He was actually. Here's the other thing, though. He was married? So why was the wife going to this guy going, listen, I can't be married to a black guy with a tiny dick?

No, no, no. Vito, okay, you've never been married. You don't understand this. The wife doesn't tell you that your dick's too small. She just starts fucking all of your friends. That's how you find out your dick's too small. That's how you know. Yeah.

We just come home early from work and you're like, hey, Bill, what are you doing here? The game's out for another three hours. What's going on? it is it is like look I'm not going to say I have a huge I'm going to say I have an average penis okay you haven't seen it in years but go ahead I haven't seen it I don't know maybe it got a little smaller and we're working on that but it is it is weird when a girl tries to like say stuff to you where she's like oh I love how big it is and I go you don't got to like we don't got a role play like I got a monster here come on I know what I'm working with just say wow this is quite

adequate the size that is currently inside me I I'd be happy with that. I don't need, I don't need you extrapolating out. I don't need you adding extra adjectives. I get compliments on like the color. Like they're like reaching for things. They're like, oh, well, the shadows this thing cast are neat. Like it's a sundial. Like what was it like 630? I'm like it's actually 803, but whatever. Thanks. When they start when you go, you know, they start coming up with different ways to explain why it's good other than size. Right. They go, well, just that the, the shape of the head of your. penis is so dynamic. And I go, okay, just say it's a little smaller than you used to. That's fine.

I can deal with that. They're like, no, no, no, it's good. You measure length by width and the diameter is fantastic. I like when the girls are just like, wow, I love how premature ejaculates. I never know what it's going to happen. You know, well, it's like a volcano. You never know. I love the science shame on your face as you stand there with your, uh, pre-ejaculate. Anyway, I'll be ready to go again in a day or two. Well, guys, that's the problem of having a small penis. Again, it can inflict anybody size or age except Asian men. They'll be fine.

So voted up. Currently number 43 with 762 up votes. Voted up. Now, this one is from episode 98. It is the problem of not enough Hitler movies. I made the argument that just make, we should have like a Hitler movie every quarter, I think. there should always be a new World War II. No, no, no, but like, I want to be like every

A scripted movie. A blockbuster. Yeah, there should be a new World War II movie. We should at least get three or four a year. Like, Ridges of the Lost Ark is perfect. Why aren't there one of those every year that comes out? Right. Exactly.

I like these Hitler. I love the movie Downfall, which is just, or just movies about Hitler. We don't have a young Hitler movie still. How is there not like a young Hitler and you see him? And he's like, man, I just want to paint. And then a Jewish. kid comes and like knocks the paint brushes out of his hand.

He goes, he's, you know? Or one of the, he was like going on vacation. It was like springtime. And he was just frolicking. All right,

anyway, you were saying. I am excited. Well, I'm not excited, though. So the problem is not enough Hitler movies. We're getting a new Hitler movie,

but I'm reading about this new Hitler movie, Carl, and I'm a little skeptical. I did some research. Okay. So the story I found was Dylan Douglas, the son of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones has booked his first feature role in the movie killing Hitler.

I said, okay, a movie about killing Hitler. That sounds exciting. Like, you know, what was that movie where Tom Cruise tries to kill Hitler? Remember that one? It was like, yeah, right, right. You know who killed Hitler was Hitler. Right. Well, that's kind of the problem.

So is he the hero? This movie was like, look at all great this guy. Is he killed Hitler? Like, well, that's the guy we're, okay, sure. Here's the plot of killing Hitler. And fascinatingly, this is based on like a internet article that went viral, written by a Jewish professor. And he said, I've uncovered this great story, this untold story from World War II, how Jewish mobsters in 1933 tried to kill Hitler. You're like, okay, Jewish mobsters tried to kill Hitler.

Wow. In 1933, they were looking ahead. They were looking at Germany, being like, oh, this guy's going to be a problem. We got to send somebody over there and kill him. And he goes, so what did they do? And it said, they tried to find someone they could pay to go to Germany and kill Hitler. Makes sense. And they didn't find anybody, so it didn't happen.

Right. You don't have any connections. That's like, I love what people are just like, I would never use cocaine. I'm like, because you don't know anyone cool. You know, you couldn't if you wanted to. What do you mean? So there's two problems here. The first one is it's about a plot that,

never took place. It was like, maybe we should send somebody over there. We'll do it later. The second one is, I'm looking at the finances and whatever. It's all these like Jewish producers or whatever, want to tell one of these great Jewish heroism stories. But at the end of the day, the story is about, well, we tried to find someone we could give money to, you know, because we would, and then we'd be over here safe, and there'd be a guy we gave money to to do a job. But we didn't find a guy who would work for a fair rate, so he just said, fuck it. there's no story there. Like, they're going to have to make up so much shit to make this into a movie. And it's just about Jewish guys being like, well, we did have a lot of money at the time.

We tried to find somebody we could pay, but the rates were just too high. But it's the son of Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones, though? It's going to be starring in it. And I don't know if he plays the guy. I'm in. Let's go. That sounds cool. But who is he going to play?

The guy who is trying to find a guy to give money to or I think they're going to have to make up a lot of this movie because this plot didn't go anywhere. And it's just about Jewish guys with money. trying to, you know, buy influence and power. Murdering Hitler in 1933 is just wildly illegal. Well, he would have been. Yeah, but political assassinations have always been a thing, you know. Yeah, starting World War I, France Ferdin, yeah. It's not great.

This could have started a great thing. I don't know if this would have started a war. Maybe it would have stopped something. Maybe they had the right idea. Apparently, oh, yeah, the Germans were super chill at that time. They're like, oh, another one of our leaders. All right, whatever. Well, honestly, they could.

kind of they were kind of pacified that was their whole problem at the yes they were starting to get ramped up from hitler what was the thing uh wasn't it the nuremberg agreement or something what was it i can't remember or we basically told germanyly we get all your shit forever treaty of versa is that the one it might have been the treaty of versa yeah yeah where they're just like fuck you germany you can't do shit anymore they're like okay sorry oops and then hiller comes in he's just like fuck those assholes we should be doing all this shit they're like yeah we're obviously the best See, this is exactly why we need a new World War II movie every three months because it's never not interesting. And you and I are confused about how it all went down.

Yeah, we're still confused. I don't know the names of this yet. There's so many great Nazis. Well, not great Nazis. Well, there's so many Nazis you want to learn about and what they're up to. And now we're just going to get a movie about Jewish guys not paying an assassin. Sounds fascinating. We'll give me a chance.

Jesus. I don't know. Maybe there's a better story there that I didn't see. but I tried reading up on it. I'm like, did you even hire one guy? Like, if the guy doesn't even take a shot, what's the story? Not enough Hitler movies. Currently, number 5, 353 with 243 upvotes.

Don't forget to vote it up. All right. Well, it looks like I won last week, huh? I came in with, yes, I am the winner. You know, before we get into our problems, I think we should read some super chats. And you and I were talking, a little peek behind the curtain, you and I were talking before the show. show that the superchats aren't showing up like they normally doing stream yard you can just go and see all of them under the starred category and i figured out why that is why it's because you use the same link every week you got to create a new link oh is that what

fucks it up yes the fresh link will put all of the super chats into one category instead we just have it's not keeping track of that because this thing exists forever interesting i'm going to see if there's a way for me to fix that in the future because it is yeah created a new fucking link for every episode. I just sent it to you. Vito. But I have, but I have meeting adjourned. Hold on. But that, don't I have to load in all my media every time then? No, of course not. It'll keep all the media and everything. What you have a stream yard account?

Everything's in there. All right. All right. I don't fucking know. All right. Cardinal Byrd is two dollar balder hauler. Thank you, Cardinal Bird for coming on by. Yeah, now I have to, uh, this show just isn't the same. Says Tim Bollinger and Carl eats poop. Well, obviously it's not the same. Good to see you, too. Because we got Carl now. Hack it, and me, I'll see you again in Vegas, my friend. It's Annie, who I love.

I was going to say we should have Annie come in some time and do the, do the voted-up news. That'd be great. We need news girls. Of course. It's Annie for two says, I'm paying double for the countdown at the start. See people like the countdown. Good to see you, Annie. I made the countdown longer.

I don't know if you guys like it. Fierry's anger for 10. I trust you'll decide, divide this chat up. I'll do my best. I mean, according to the new rules of gross versus net, I think $9 goes to Carl. Yes, nine Australian dollars. Thank you.

And I get a shiny nickel to spend on dime store candy and plastic choshkes. You don't even deserve that. I don't. I don't deserve anything. Agnosticuzamagi for 10. Glad to see Carl back. I know you have tons of ideas. You don't finish.

But I'm adding one more. The first person to a right-wing D&D show is going to be a multimillionaire. Carl, you ever played Dungeons the Dragons? I never have in my life, no. I have. Then there's this guy for the longest time is offered. No, I'm saying I haven't really played D&D. I played it like in high school or whatever.

But I'm saying there's a guy who's been offering to do a D&D show. And I said, I guess it could be funny if you got a bunch of comedians together to do D&D. I know it's a popular category, but it's a big time suck. You got to think about it. Here's my problem with D&D and you tell me if I'm wrong about this. There aren't like hard and fast rules. Just there's like some dungeon master just like make shit up the whole time. Yeah, it's his rules.

He's God. That's weird. And then he occasionally rolls dice to determine what's going on where you're like, I want to take a shit. And he goes, can you roll a 20? And you roll your D20. I don't know. I don't know there's poop.

Okay. There's poop going on. Yeah. Okay. You roll a three. And then he goes, you actually just shit all over your leg. And you go, ah, fuck. We have to roll to eat that shit.

You grab the 12 side of die. and grab an even number. Don't lean into that. That's not right. Dr. Cote for five. I'm glad Carl's here to check in and make sure if you know hasn't been crushed by a mountain of toys during this week. Believe it or not, I am actually selling toys, guys. I'm trying my best.

My problem is I get, I got to sell more toys than I get in. But I did buy 100 copies of enduring innocence. So. First world problem. Carl, this is free money. This is free money right here. Each one of these is a dollar. 50.

Speaking of free money, that's one of my problems. That's a little spoiler. We'll get to that. Yep. We will get to that. And the creep off mentions, Vito, there are 90,000 D&D comedy podcast.

He's worse than the last. Yeah, but come on, man. If we did it, no. If we did it, I think it would be better.

Because there's actual funny guys. I would do it TV podcast. No, I've covered D&D podcast on WTP. We stopped doing it because they're all just so obnoxiously boring. They're impossible to even make fun of. They're so bad. There's a way to do it. doesn't suck. The problem is that

the guys who do it are always like liberal douchebags or we're never going to go. The name of my character is Ching Chong Ping Pong and he hails from the far off fantasy continent of China. You know, you got to get a little crazy with it. You get all the Josh Denny's in the world to be a part

of this thing. It's not going to be funny or interesting. We love Josh Denny. God bless Josh Denny. All right, here's my problem. I got a video here. I think I've brought it up. Tell me if you've seen this beloved sporting event before. Let me bring this up.

Share this tab instead. No. Okay. This is a sport. I'm putting sport in quotes. Tell me if you recognize it. I think you can tell from the logo on the guy's shirt. It's called Power Slap as sponsored by Monster Energy Drink for some reason.

Now, I had the name of the guy. The name of the guy here is Jake Hager, aka Jake Swagger, who apparently is famous for losing his matches constantly. So let's watch how Jake loses this power slap match. All right, he's just been slapped in the face. His eye looks a little hurt here. Oh, that was bad. His eye is just dripping.

Now, I think he'll be fine. It's not like he's literally dripping. blood out of his fucking eye socket. This could be an injury, says the announcer. Yeah, a guy bleeding out his eyes and ears is probably injured. I would agree with that. I'll be honest. I've done this during sex before.

Yeah. You catch the, even, you know, it's surprising. Even Asians, you just catch them in the eyeball a little bit while you're slapping. I was like, ah, that's not what I meant to do. Can I at least finish in your lap, please? Look at his. he's bleeding out the fucking eye socket and the guys are going, oh no, it might be over.

Can you think of any other sport when you start bleeding out the eyes and they go, you might be good for one more round? I don't know. I can't figure it out. So you ended up losing the match. Guys, my problem is the exciting new sport of Power Slap. Which is a...

Here, here's how Slap is called Slap Fighting is the technical term and Power Slap is the League as sponsored by Dana White. Here's how slap fighting works. You guys the rules. You're two married people in a race. Oh, I'm sorry. Go ahead. Well, you would think you'd go, oh, do they have like a comprehensive rule book?

You know, is there like 80 page document? No, there's four rules. One contestant stands there. The contestant is not allowed to dodge or defend. The opponent delivers a full force open-handed strike to a defined area of the face. then they change places and the other guy goes. Yeah. Thrilling stuff.

This is the worst thing that, okay, what has happened to society where we said, fighting sports have always been controversial, boxing, MMA, whatever else, because you're like, ah, you're out there hurting each other, but at least there's some level of,

you know, rules and structure. And most importantly, fundamental to every other fighting sport is the idea that you are supposed to defend on some level. You're supposed to be like, ah, I'm blocking. I'm going to, you know, grapple you so you can't do anything to me.

This has taken all of that out of it and said, let's just get down to the part where somebody gets a fucking brutal concussion and almost dies. This would be like if NASCAR said, listen, the only thing people like is the crashes. So we're just going to build a giant wall right off, the starting gate and everyone just drives really fast at the wall. Do you have a copy right of that?

Have you trademarked that idea? Holy shit. I call it power driving, Carl. Power driving is the new exciting sport. Or hey, let's do a sport where we just pound nicks, pound fucking nails through your balls. Like these aren't sports. You're just trying to get hurt for entertainment. Well, okay, someone in the chat, Ice Young brought this up. So Floyd Mayweather, maybe the the Popperbound greatest boxer of all time. Yes. Boring ass fights.

Great defensive fighter. You can't get a hit on him. He always wins. You know, because the judges go, well, yeah, you didn't hit the guy. He was better. Yeah, he was, he was dodging. He was moving. That's right.

It's exciting. Okay. Boring A.F. And you're like, you're like, you know, all this time we've had these fighting sports and there was more strategy to it. I'm familiar with gladiators. Are you, I'm familiar with the Romans? Like they just put a lion in there.

Shields and nets. And a lion. And a lion just fucking takes their head off their fucking body. And then you're just like, oh, what is with this new sport? I feel like it's barbaric. Okay. You make, you make a very good point, though. But here's the thing.

What you're describing is cool. I'm like, okay, guys fighting each other to the death of sort. If that's where we're going, if this is the interim step between actual blood sports, okay I'll accept it as a stepping stone but right now it's just moronic because it's like beat the shit out of somebody and killed them slowly with brain damage across 30 years

no just chop their fucking head off at that point that would actually be better or just put a bear in there so I have a question I've thought about this this is a little bit of an aside but the Coliseum I haven't been to Rome

but I'm familiar with like the Coliseum yeah they feel like what 12,000 people like this is back in the, you know, ancient times. It's a big building. Big, big arena. They're watching the sport. I've been to sporting events.

You've probably seen something on TV passively. Sure. I've driven. I've driven past them. Right. Yeah, you're in traffic because of them. The men's room at these places is ridiculous. And you're just nonstop pissing, but there's modern plumbing, whatever.

it doesn't like land on anyone for the most part you're pretty much good what do they used to do back then i'm sure people were like having to shit at the coliseum do you know the answer to that that's an excellent question i i would imagine that they would just find like a corner man i mean it was made a stone right stone can absorb a certain amount of urine well what did they have a shit though and absorbs the wrong word that that you just had to shit in your pants back then everybody that's what i'm wondering like so we'll talk about that in roman times they were wearing the robes to keep the shit stench, you know, protected from everyone around them. Okay.

So what I'm saying is like your section seven row M seat four, which in Roman numerals is very confusing. XVI. Yeah. There's a lot. So you go there. Sir, you're in row XII. Are we an I. I.

V or VII? I can't remember. The section is is V, but the number is five. Like, oh, fuck, they're the same thing. So you go there. and you go to sit down and there's a pile of shit there. And you're like, you go to the wife. You're like, we got to make sure it rains between this thing and the next thing.

Or else it's just going to keep happening to us. I'm honestly curious. I should probably ask Grock about that. I assume they had like a room with a hole that fed into a shit pit and somebody had to shovel the shit pit. It was all about holes in the ground back then, you know? Maybe they'd be shovel it into a wheelbarrow. Maybe it went down into a hole where the gladiators were hanging out with.

waiting to come out and gladiate. That makes sense. Carl the poop man always got pooping on the mine. I wanted to see how bad this slap fighting is. So they've done studies. Now, these are not comprehensive studies because Dana White, who owns this thing, is not exactly letting people get in there and investigate how horrifying it is. Again, this is sanctioned by the Nevada State Athletic Commission. No other state, I think, will sanction. I don't think they've even tried. But in Nevada, they're like, ah, Dana White spends a lot of money at the casinos. Let him do whatever he wants.

Yeah, good for Nevada. So these studies have been just doctors watching the fights and like examining the fighters and going, that guy has a concussion, that guy has a concussion, that guy has a concession. So in 2024, they analyzed 78 matches involving 56 competitors and 333 slaps. And the experts involved said 80% of competitors. of competitors had at least one observable sign of concussion during their match. They did another study. It came to basically the same conclusion.

A more recent analysis of 164 fights involving 766 slaps identified 231 possible concussions or about 1.4 concussions per fight. I mean, because you go, well, what do they look for for our concussion? If you get hit in the face and your first instinct is to stop. stumble around and lose control of your, your motor control. Motor in coordination was the most common visible sign. So what you're saying is if your dad is a professional slap fighter, your daughter was.

Yeah, like like like you might as well be Chris Benoit's son or Julesayhouse because the CTE. It's over, Jaddy. Hey, Chris Benoit just power bombed his kids into heaven. That was a kindness. Those kids had the devil in him. The American Association of Neurological Surgeons has issued an official position on state, an official position statement on slap fighting. Shockingly, their statement is, please stop slap fighting.

It's not really that complicated. Now, we have had, you said, well, what's the, what's the problem here? It's not like anyone's died from, no, it's not like anyone's died signing up for it, right? Who cares? They signed up. Okay. They signed up. for it. I'm going to give you the names of some of the fighters who have signed up for slap

fighting. Kabiru al-Dirjuran, Adnan Alek, Mukahead Amenteyev, Diorbeck Attenajav, and my boy from Cameroon, Jishel Awa. Now, according to one fighter who got offered do power slap. He was offered $2,000 to get beat around the head and almost die. This was a white guy and he said, nah, I think you got to pay me a little bit more to basically

get permanent brain damage. But what Dana White has figured out is you can just find guys who live in really shitty countries like Nigeria and Kazakhstan and Cameroon and go, hey, we're going to pay you $2,000 to get beaten the head by another guy. See, this makes

sense. This is the American way. Do you want to go over a pick cotton? Or do you want us to slap you across the face? Because either way, you're better off here than you are there. I mean, it really is like cartoonishly evil to go. It's like you couldn't even just get white guys to beat the shit out of each other. You went to like poor destitute parts of the world. And you said, hey, I got a pitch for you, you fucking dirt farmer.

How about a guy comes? And we slap you're on the head. It's not even going to hurt that bad. It's fun. And you're going to get $2,000 American dollars. How do I get to America to make the $2,000? You got this giant boat over here, and by the way, you're the one on the panel. If Dana White said, we're unveiling the first ever power slap yacht to bring fighters from around the country.

And it's a big wooden ship. And they're all, he goes, let's cut to the power slap fighters who are competing, are right now training for their big bout. And there's just a bunch of brown guys rowing the fucking boat. You go, hold on. I have a little bit of a. There's nothing's trade for slap fighting. You guys understand it.

I have a little bit of a question here. And we call it Amistad 2. Wait, I thought we changed that name. Fuck. Amistad also. Dana White is, okay, so here's the thing. Dana White is not being very transparent about what people get paid to get slapped in the head. We do have a quote from Dana White where he said, you know, we did season one and one of our competitors, one of our successful.

competitors is going to walk home with $45,000. That's for an entire season of the show. That guy probably got slapped in the face like 200 times and his brain is being turning to mush. I don't think that's worth $45,000. That sounds like a really shitty payout for what is, you're the show. Shouldn't everybody on the show be making like a, I don't know why I'm trying to justify it with a money total, but if I was, if they said, hey, they're getting half a million

dollars and go, yeah, I'd probably let a big old guy slap me around the face for half a million dollars. 45 grand. No. I'm turning my brain into mush with drugs and I'm paid for them. So that actually sounds like a pretty good deal. So it was just like, hey, Carl, do you want to destroy your brain? I'll give you $45,000.

I'm like, yeah. I was going to do that anyway. Thank you. It's fascinating that people willingly sign up for this, knowing that it is not regulated, that every doctor says don't do that. It's not like there's like a doctor there who's like, you'll be fine. Those other doctors are quacks. Every doctor is saying don't do this. And you got dead guys. In 2021, Polish bodybuilder, Arter Walzak competed in the Polish Punchdown Five

slap fighting events. So I guess they do do this in other countries. It's not just America. But he suffered catastrophic neurological injury, was hospitalized and then died of a brain bleed. I don't know about you. Isn't that the worst? I mean, there's bad ways to go. But the idea of just your brain bleeding to me goes, that seems like a really shitty way to die. I would probably avoid putting myself in a situation where that happened. Who was the guy wearing a wedding rig or something? That's, how doesn't even happen? It's a hard slap. There are like, dude, if you want to do a shitty job that destroys your body, couldn't you just work on a oil rig or something? Like, isn't there other ways for big stupid guys to make a decent chunk of

change? You know what I think's going on here? I think that it's because Dana White is in charge of it. If his name was Dana Brown, you'd be fine with this. If a black guy was running it, it would make a lot more sense to me. Exactly. I'd be like, yeah, yeah, hey, that's just, that's their culture, man. They're just having, you can't, cultural differences. We can't discriminate.

Exactly. I mean, Power Slap is still going on. I don't know if it's still a TV show or not. I think they've done two seasons so far. I mean, obviously they're still doing matches. I just watched a guy get the eye almost knocked out of his socket. I guess Okay, so I brought up the NASCAR driving to walls

Yeah, I think that is what people want I think Mr. Beast has shown us that Doesn't that is that what Mr. Beast does now? I'm not 17. I don't know what Mr. Beast is doing now. I'm sorry. You don't get TikTok reels where he goes, We're going to see how much duct tape it takes to destroy this Tesla and then they just drive into walls of duct tape or whatever else.

Is that true? I don't think, I think, but if you just want to create big violent spectacle, either A progress all the way to actual blood sports, which me and Carl have both said we would approve of. That would be fine. I want the guys with the net and the Trident. What were those guys called? Do you know what I'm talking about?

No, I don't. You don't know the Net and Trident guys? Trident, the gum? The Ritorious. You don't know the Rhetarius? I'm not familiar with this. Oh, hold on. Okay, fuck Power Slap.

I'm bringing back Reterius. Here I got a picture of a Reterious. Reterious. Well, that was the. guy used to fill in for Dick on biggest problem back of the day. Yeah, that was the other, he was a Rotarius. Reterius was the, look at this cool guy.

The Ratarious were the gladiator fighters who would try to, they would try to get you in the net and then stab you with a stick. That had more going on, the power slap. That was more interesting, the power slap. I'm so glad I didn't know this. I don't. I don't. I'm not familiar with this at all. Everybody loves you, dude.

I've seen a gladiator twice. What else am I supposed to know? That was the worst part of gladiators. They didn't have any Reterius action. If they had Reterious in that mood, that's why Gladiator 2 failed. Is everybody went, well, where's the Reterius's? If we had more Riterius going, okay, look at him. He moves with the Trident. This is my bonus problem. The lack of Reterious in modern society. All right, you go around in a circle, you get them in the net. I assume this is all AI trash right here. All right. All I'm saying is actually filmed in 234.

Yeah, it was filmed in 2000. A, D.C. Look, I want the retarius. I don't want the power slap. The power slap is bad. It's hurting people. And I don't know why they're allowing it to continue. And it could be cooler. Okay.

I guess my real problem is that it's dumb. If it was something like they had a, if it was like power stab and each guy had a knife and he had to survive like a vicious stab wound to the gut, I'd go, oh shit, that's intense. This is actually retarded, just hitting a guy in the face. I'm just brainstorming here ways that this could be cool. So the reason why you don't like is because we're like finding destitute guys who are like, I'm big and mussely and I can't make any money. And Dana White's like, I'll give you a $2,000.

I'm over here. What if this sport still exists, but it's just podcasters who don't like each other. So like Mers and Chad TzuBuy. I was going to say, just slap each other back and forth. I got to watch that. The only solution would be to have some sort of celebrity slap fight or internet celebrity slash the Jesse P.S. versus comedy shaman like let's go. Absolutely. I'll pay 20 bucks to watch that. That's cool. Influencer boxing fell apart because let's be clear. Boxing is

only interesting when the people who are boxing kind of know how to box. Right. Watching boogie struggle to pull up his pants against fucking wings of redemption. You went, well, I don't know. I guess it's funny to see a fat guy stumble around, but that's the most I'm getting out of this. Yeah. But everybody knows how to slap a fucking guy. Right. Right. This could be the sport of podcasting rivals. I think there could be something there. We could get Kevin Brennan and his brother and Neil Brennan's probably above that, huh?

We're not going to get the brother to brother slap fight. But you could probably get Adam Bush versus Kevin Brennan to do it. No, I don't think Kevin Brenner would run away from that as well. He'd go, what am I going to do? He's just going to slap me? He doesn't even make money. Slap the brown crooked teeth out of his fucking mouth. We're putting it out there.

I'll put up a $1,000 purse to get it to get it moving. We'll see who our competitors. All right. All right. You ready for my problem? I am ready for your problem. I can't believe you got a sport. I also brought a sports related problem.

That's good. It's a sports show. I think this is the first time we've done a sports show. Legalized sports betting. Let me explain this, okay? What would that be, Carl? I haven't heard of this phenomenon. I love.

I'm not getting ads. for this every 10 seconds. I've never heard of it. Jesus Christ, nuts out. I love sports betting. I still been on sports. I have a bookie like an adult.

You have a bookie? I do. I've had a bookie like going, like your grandfathered in. Yeah. Like for decades, I've had a bookie back when it was cool to have like a bookie and not a fucking online.

It's still, it's way cooler than me like, I got to go on and fucking sports dangler.com and check the spread. Yeah, it's way cooler to have a bookie. So let me explain why legalized sports betting sucks. So first off, all right, you can talk about the apps, the fact that it's on your phone. It's nonstop.

Hey, don't forget, you can bet on the game even though it's already started. There's all these like other things you can do. And they're like, hey, you should try a parlay. You should bet this and this and this. You watch the games are like, here's three things you can try to bet on in a parlay. And I'm like win. And you're like, oh, that sounds cool. I'll try that.

Dude, I don't use the app. Like, as you're watching the game, is it suggesting bets? Like you can bet on the first hoop or something? Oh, yeah. It's screaming at you. Like, why aren't you, why aren't you bad at this game? You're so watching the game. It's insidious as fuck. That's crazy.

Did you know that you can bet on balls and strikes in baseball games? There's like an over under, like over under. No, no. There's each individual. Yes, there's 200 pitchers in a baseball game. And you can sit there and be like, next one's going to be a ball. This is going to be a strike. You just sit there fucking bet balls and strikes.

That's just like kind of flipping a coin. I wouldn't. What are the odds on? something like that. Well, I don't want to get into the strategy behind. Hold on. I'm trying to see if there's an edge. I can grab. Let me think about this for a second. On an 02 cow, the pitcher will typically throw a ball, try to get the bad as to chase it. They're just giving opportunities to the betters, Carl. How can you be upset about this? Yeah. It's a, it's a bit much, but you know what? I don't even care about that. I'm not a big deal. I don't think it's a big deal to like get junkies to like do

more of what's bad for them. Yeah. Junkies get a junk. My problem with it is the integrity of the game. I'm a big sports fan. I want to know the people are competing. Vito hear me out. Yeah. I want to know that people are competing and that they're legitimately trying to win the game. There was a movie that was made back in 1988 called Eight Men Out. You familiar with this movie? I'm not. It's about the Chicago White Sox of 1990. They played the Cincinnati Reds in the World Series. And the owner of the White Sox, Charles Kamiski, did not pay the players very much money. And they felt like they were underpaid,

even though they were dominant. They were very popular in Chicago. Everyone was written for the White Sox. They're all coming to the games. And these players were not getting paid. So professional gamblers came to them and they said, I'll tell you what, we could pay you guys a lot more money than what you're making

if you just throw the World Series. And they went, huh, that's interesting. So the 1919 White Sox through the World Series, there were eight guys, the top players, all decided like, yeah, yeah, Let's play like shit. And so they lost the World Series. So these gamblers made a much money and they paid off the players.

Those players were thrown out of baseball. That's why it's called eight men out. How would it was it found out? Like who ratted them out? Are they just, are they just shitting in their pants and going like, oh, geez, I can't possibly hit the I got to stop doing poop stuff. You have to watch the movie, I suppose.

But the crazy thing is is that now in today's modern age of legal, sports betting this is happening all the time it's taking away the integrity of sports i'll give you a couple examples okay you have uh john tay porter of the toronto raptors now jontay porter he would do this thing where he would tell his buddies he'd be like because there's individual player props you could bet on a player to score so many points or get so many rebounds in the game yeah yeah yeah so he'd tell his buddies be like hey bet the under on my player props because uh i feel a flu coming on Or maybe I'm going to have an eye injury. Oh, someone's stand by eye.

I might fall down. I don't know. Oh, who knows? I might do it. I might intentionally foul somebody. I might get so angry tonight. Right. So they would put unders on points,

rebounds, assists, block, steals, three pointers. In one March, 22, to 24 game, he played under three minutes.

And the problem is, the problem is that like, the sports books are looking at it. They're like, there's a shit ton of, of wagers going out of the under on this guy's totals. And he only played three minutes. That's the real problem.

The real problem is the guys who go, they get too greedy with it. And you got to think that there's a lot of guys out there who are just kind of fucking up. And they're going under the radar. They're not getting caught with the cheating. Correct. Yeah. The NBA banned him for life. You're like, all right.

We see what you're up to. Oh, really? He's like just completely out of the league. That's crazy. Here's another example. What year was that? That was 20, 24, 2025. That was that season.

Very recent. That's a, wait, what's an NBA salary? Like, how much was that guy making? Like 300K or more? The minimum is, it's got to be a half a million. I thought the minimum was like, yeah, somewhere around. It's definitely in the six figures. Oh, yeah.

You're throwing a lot of money away to make some bets. That's pretty risky. Now you have Terry Rosier of the Charlotte Hornets. Yes. Yes. And he alleged you told a friend. He's great. He's the best. He was just told us,

he would pull himself in the first quarter with a supposed injuries and betters piled onto the unders in point, rebounds and assists. He scored five, left the game in about 10 minutes. Sportsbooks and integrity monitors had flagged the surge of unders. And then as soon as he went out, they're like, whoa, whoa, whoa, this is wild. But they didn't catch him right away. I gave you a video clip.

I want you to, I have not watched this. I want to watch this guy. this is Terry Rosier watch the way he was playing basketball when he was telling his buddies to bet the under. Okay, and which players, is he the number 20? Do we know which one of the guys? He's the guy with the basketball.

He'll see. All right, this man, we're going to keep an eye on. Okay, this is Terry Rosier. Let's see. He just got arrested in federal gambling investigation. And if you look at these plays from him during a game against the cast last year, you think he was pretty bad.

He literally bounced about to the other team. But let it play. This is very funny. game against the Cavs last year, you think he's guilty. I mean, this dude got back on defense before the past went anywhere. And it also didn't look like he was very worried about Donovan Mitchell being wide open. Oh, there you go. He's just passing.

He's just passing the ball there. What do you mean? That was a perfectly good shot, Carl. This guy is fine. I'm of course not sure if he did it, but he's been under investigation for a long time now. Hold on these plays look like some. This isn't the WNBA. I think it's a dude.

This is an NBA player. This is some top level. WNBA fucking shit here. They got right next to the net almost on that one shot. All right. This is crazy. So there's my example. There's also college sports. Like these players, a lot of them are not making any money at all. Yeah. Any money that might be thrown their way or dangled over them, they're like, oh, that's big. So there's a problem with like over unders for games in the 2024, 2025 college basketball season. There was an indictment that was mostly classic point shaving.

Prosecutors said players at mostly mid-majures. I know that from the Sopranos. I know that from the Sopranos, Carl. There you go. There you know. So mostly mid-majures, you're not talking about the top players in D1 or that. They were getting paid $10,000 to $30,000 to underperform. So a betting group could hammer spreads. This happened to Paul, New Orleans, Evelyn Christian, Kent State.

And that's the problem with this is that you could get to an individual player, especially at college sports. and you could just be like, hey, man, you know you average 22 points a game? Score six tomorrow. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I'll give you $20,000.

They made a lot of fucking, hey, those my people made a lot of money from point shaving, Carl. All right. I got mob, and not connections, but relations. Okay. And I put, that kept a lot of just, all the word you used there. All the mobsters in my family, I think are dead at this point. So legalized sports betting is a problem.

because it's ruining the integrity of the game. There's too much money involved. And now these players are getting paid off to not even perform. Well, but okay, now it's interesting, though, because you have like polymarketing shit and you can bet on the weirdest fucking stuff. What do you think about the guys who influence that? Because I think it's funny and should totally be allowed. What's the, oh, what's the congressman? Didn't a congressman recently get caught?

Yes, I heard about that. Was it polymarket? were basically, ah, shit, I got to look up the story. Because there was a, okay, George Santos was on Calci. And what did George. George Santos has been made to step down. I went, well, why? Why can't he fucking do that?

Okay, here you go. So George Santos, there was a Calci bet about who was going to be at the state of the union. Yeah. Okay. Donald Trump was doing the state of the union. And he was one of the names that you could bow on whether or not he was going to be there. And he just went on Twitter and he goes, man, I can't wait to go to the state of the

union tonight. I love the fucking state of the union. I'm going to have a good time. Definitely being at the state of the union. It's going to be awesome. And then he just didn't fucking go after him and his buddies, but a bunch of fucking money on it. And he got fined. He got fined. I think he might have lost his job. But George Santos did lose his job. I don't know if that was the reason. But yes, he's But I'm saying, yeah, yeah, yeah. But he got a $70,000 financial penalty and Kalshi issued its first ever lifetime ban. And I went, how can you ban the guy?

You're not allowed to lie? Like, what do you mean? The bet is whether or not you're going to go. Are you legally obligated to, okay, let's put it this way. How can a betting platform legally determine whether or not what you're allowed to say or do? I guess the problem is then you're betting on it is that's where it becomes complicated. but otherwise you can do whatever you want you think i love when they have so i have friends over for the super bowl every year we have a party yeah and we always bet the length of the national anthem

and it's usually around two minutes and we bet the over under if you're singing the national anthem you have complete control over that so you can put in 500 000 dollars and bet the over just be like the dauntz are lila i know i've a beautiful singing voice do and hold it forever There was a guy who got screwed though because it was some music artist and the bet was whether or not Drake would perform at the Grammys or the fucking Super Bowl or something. I don't know. And the point was that he bet like half a million dollars because he knew who was going to be on stage. He's like, oh, he is going to perform. I know he's going to be there.

And then Cal she was like, well, that's not performing. He's just like there. He's like, you know, in the background. We meant like singing and dancing or whatever else. but I don't know man like it is it is interesting these new betting platforms and how you can manipulate them I thought the best one was they do the ones where it's will they say I lost money because I didn't realize how often Trump says God bless uh what is it he says something about Allah what is he's beat Allah yeah he says praise beat Allah right like a lot you are fake news

no I think he says it as like a joke he says it is like a joke or something wrong. You are fake news. So it was on one of these betting marks that I'm like, he's not going to say praise be to Allah. And I bet like $100 bucks on it. And then at the end of his speech, he said, praise be to Allah. I'm like, God damn it. I didn't know he was going to do that. But I will say praise be to Allah.

All I know is if I was one of these guys and they were betting on what words I was going to say during a speech, like I would absolutely bet on find a way to bet on that. I don't understand something like how people are not betting on those. I think there's a problem if there's like a sophomore who's. good at basketball and someone gets to him and just says hey man you're injured in the you know seven minutes into the game no i think it should be incoded i don't think it takes away the integrity of the sport because the integrity of the sport the amount you're paying the players to not do that factors into the game how i just said college a sophomore in college exactly so you should automatically bet against every college person knowing that they could be that's retarded

at any time. You don't even understand how betting works. You're fucking retarded, Vito. Most people aren't getting paid by the mafia to throw the game. But the one who's going to throw it. He's got to figure out which one is hanging out with the wrong crowd. That's part of the betting strategy. You got to look at his Instagram and be like, man, he's hanging out with a lot of Italian guys all of a sudden.

I don't know what's, he's eating way more spaghetti dinners than he's been eating in the last fucking seven months. I think he's in with the mob. If you think Vito's retarded, vote up. legalized sports gambling. I think you just got to add a meta element to it, man. It's like, you know, it's the biggest problem. That show where people will vote for these things. Biggest problem.

That show is where you go and vote. Look, you got to, you got a meta game it. When a guy sells all his stock, when the owner of the company sells all his stock, he says, well, I'm just doing it for tax reasons. You go, no, no, I get it. I get what's going on here. A little insider trading. You got to follow the spread.

You got to figure it out. We got some superchats that came in before we. We do have some superchats. We have some more problems coming up right after this. Or these words. Abbott Hines says for 10. This new show where a host doesn't openly despise the other one is a strange new experience. I think I like it.

Enjoying all the guests, which guests do you secretly and later openly hate? I haven't hated any of our guests. Josh Denny. No, I like Josh Denny. I hang out with Josh. Actually, I should hang out with Josh Denny. Josh Denny's local. We hang out.

We got to. Sure you do. He's going to be my stand-up, buddy. We're going to do stand-up. I told you I'm taking stand-up classes, Carl, so I'm going to be a real comedian. Don't take classes. It's not take the class. It's a fucking social event.

Coof for two. Thank you for not killing yourselves. Thank you, Cof. KK. A.K. says, Piba. For five. Goat Malp for five. The biggest problem is clearly a podcast host who only acknowledge viewers if they pay for it.

It's not that. It's just they stand out. I can see them quicker if you pay for it. I'm trying. Look, Bill's going to win Super Bowl this year, Vito. Put 10K on. on him. You didn't play. All right. Yeah. I'll see the rest of that. He's got a eating toilet WATB for life. What's WATB? Who are these broadcasters? Who are these bathrooms? Who are these

broadcatchers with Christian Blatt and Eric Zane on the Who Are These Podcasts Network. They take pity on us. Yes. They do talk about bears and they do put a lot of the free chats up on the screen. That is true. I was going to, I've been following man WATP. I saw Jerry Banfield actually came on the show. It was awesome. I haven't watched yet because it was a long clip. I'm going to make time for it. And also I'm worried. I'm worried that him actually being on the show is going to like spoil it

for me. Like you know how you want to watch people from afar, but I have to do it at some point. Don't be worried about it. It was fantastic. Jerry actually gave me a hundred bucks on this little piggy today. Really? Yeah. He's like making his way. He's finding friends. He's finding

supporters. He's learning how to make friends and influence people. AK for five, Carl, would you bet on Super Killer being out this year? Stay tuned. I have some thoughts on that. Okay, well, we'll get to that. All right, Carl, here's my problem. Is it all the super chest? Did we, we didn't miss anything?

I feel like there was a few that came in in between. If I missed any other ones, let me know. I feel bad. Yeah, we're going to fix it. I'll be able to go through it at the end of the show if we missed any. I'll see if we missed any. Bitch, all right. But get them in, and we'll make sure you get them red.

All right. Here's my problem, Carl, is aging celebrities who refuse to retire. Now, there's a lot of celebrities who, I think we talked about it on the last show. Isn't it great when a celebrity just fucking dies? And then you go, that's great. Perfect capstone to their career, especially when they die young. You know, Kirk Cobain dying young, great. I don't got to see him become a weird fucking old man playing shitty songs.

I just heard someone talking about this where they're like Eddie Better. You know, it's like, did he outlive his utility in this world? Like Eddie Better, who I'm a fan of Pearl Jam, you know, since their first album and I've gone to see him a few times. Yeah. But Eddie Vedder was like a Chicago Cubs fan and so am I. So when the Cubs were going on their run in 2016, Eddie better like wrote a Cubs song. And he doesn't understand how sports work. So it's just like, it's like this ballad.

I'm like, no, no, you're supposed to be like, go Cubs go. You know, you don't get it, man. Old man. Musicians are a very common one where you go out like we saw Ozzie's last show and you're like, well, I'm glad he's, I'm glad Ozzy at least said this is my last show. Did you watch Ozzie's final concert at all? I watched a bunch of it. Yeah. It's great. Yeah. And the whole time you're going, man, you guys really should have elevated that chair above everyone. Like it was like a throne of the devil. Because it's just him in a cool chair on stage, but he's still in a chair and it looks fucking weird. Another great one. Are you familiar? with uh you remember Frankie Valley have you ever seen Frankie valleys holy shit what he's doing now I've seen more lifelike people on chucky cheese performing holy shit here's Frankie Valley beloved crooner yeah let's take a look at this Oh, he's definitely not lip singing that performance.

It's definitely a 90-year-old man hitting those notes. Dude, you actually found. Exactly the same time every performance. You actually finding versions where it kind of looks like he's singing it. There were ones where he's just like having a stroke. Yeah. Dude, I think it starts off with him when he was like a little bit spry. And then it just deteriorates into robot valley.

Oh, there he looks like he's got a little pep to his step. He's got a great backing track there. So Frankie Valley lip syncing everything. Madonna, former sex symbol every couple years. You go, lady, she's not sexy anymore. Dress like a regular grandma might be better. Woody Allen, 90 years old, is making another movie about, I assume how to date a 16-year-old or something.

in some European country that he's infatuated. First you adopt her, then. She wasn't adopted. I always have to, you always have to make that distinction. I know, it was a stepdaughter. It was a step, not even a stepdaughter. He wasn't related to her at all. It's above board.

That's what a stepdaughter is. He married to her mom. No. See, you don't even know. He was not married to Mia Farrow at when she adopted Sunyee. Okay. Woody Allen has never, Woody Allen has never been legally related to Sunyi in any way.

We're talking about they got married. What do you mean? They're not legally related. They're literally related. Okay. Now, look, the reason it's creepy is that he was going over to the house to hang out with his former, what was, was Mia Farrow's former wife or girlfriend or whatever? He's going over hanging out there.

She's like, yeah, you know, I adopted an Asian girl. And he goes, oh, really? I don't know about that. But, again, not technically. They took news photos of her in the attic when she was 14. whatever, yeah, yeah. Go on. The train. Look, I got it all. It's not good. And that documentary about him, I was like,

ah, it's pretty bad. I don't know if you trust this guy. Here's the one, though, that I think is the absolute worst. Okay. And we need to shut this down. It is the Howard Stern show now available to watch on HBO Max. Let's take a look at this. The Howard Stern show. And it's...

Wow, that energy. The new Gary is doing Ozempic. That goes, you look great. Howard goes, don't tell him that. He fucking cheated. I thought of you at the John Mayer concert. I saw Andy with his new boyfriend. PDA.

Oh, my God. Are they in love? Are they putting on a show? Heterosexuals flaunt their relationships all the time. It's disgusting. I can't even watch. There's nothing here. Carl, I tried to watch.

So, for those of you don't know, Howard Stern has gone down from his radio show being two days a week to one day a week. He's giving up his Howard 101 hunt one slot with he's basically disappearing from radio and you went okay good. So you're going to like retire and stop doing this? No, I'm going to make an HBO TV show and you go oh an HBO show. Okay like so like you can have new bits and like a stage and bring on guests. No, it'll just be the same radio show I do every week. what's the show normally four hours it's not a three now but it used to be four or five yeah so you're taking a three hour

show you're then cutting it down to an hour and a half with bumper and outro so you're cutting it down to like basically an hour of content well also he's got like a best up at the end yes you see zizi top right there he had uh what's your lips the big titty lady dolly pardon they talk about dolly pardon right so So not only is it taking a radio show that half his audience has already listened to every week and then cutting it down to a shitty one-hour clip show, but then it's filled with a bunch of Glory Days bullshit of remember how exciting this show used to be. I mean, did you see the trailer for his new show? No, I did not see the trailer. Okay. I'm going to cover this tour on WTP, by the way. I have the full episode of going to be cutting it up and checking out Howard's HBO show.

Here's how they promoted the show. And this is one of the worst promos I've ever seen in my life. It doesn't even logically make sense. I knew the future. I wasn't going to fail. Before podcasts, Carl. Right. Before podcasts.

Okay. Keep that in mind. Before podcast. That's how we're starting the sentence. They just wanted to prove something to the world. People liked it. Before social media. They like to be part of something, a movement.

Our show was a reality. Before reality TV. You're insane, Fred. Welcome to new air of Howard Stern. Okay. That sentence doesn't logically make sense. You're so right. Remember how great this show was in 1988?

Yeah. Fucking awesome. Well, now it's 2026. Is it still good? No. Not even close. The promo is, dude, it's before all this stuff. Remember how great Howard was?

He was great before all that stuff. Well, here's what it looks like now and it sucks. Dude, the entire promo is shit that happened 10, 15 years ago. Celebrities who are not going to be on the show anytime soon, they have shots of Jimmy Kimmel. Like, you're going to get Jimmy Kimmel? Doesn't Jimmy Kimball show canceled now or something? Jimmy and Howard are good friends.

Jimmy will go on the show anytime. But I'm saying, like, he's showing all this glory to his shit of like, look at all these big audiences I used to have. And I remember when Ronnie used to live here. It is a, his show. now is endlessly pathetic and sad. Carl, so you said you fell asleep during part of it and I don't blame you. I fell asleep watching this and I woke up.

I put it back out and I fell asleep again. So part of the show is again, taking bits that maybe could have played out okay on radio and then hyper editing them down into nonsense. I could not believe they left. This was one of the things. So remember the show, the show. The show airs on Tuesdays, right? So the show is Mondays, and then this airs on Thursdays. So they have three days to take a radio show, take all the footage from across.

And remember, Howard's in his own studio with his own cameras. Robbins in her own studio with their own cameras. Everybody else, I thought he was at least going to be back in studio. Like, oh, I have a TV show now. I better go into the studio and be with everybody. He's still doing it from his fucking house. Yes. Which is lazy as shit.

Same with Robin. Yeah. Bro, that's why, okay, that works for radio because it's just voices. This is the reason you don't have a TV show is I don't want to watch guys who are in a different part of New York watching their boss on a monitor and going, man, I wish I had $100 million so I could just sit at home all day. But then they leave in shit like this. Let me see if I got this queued up right. Are you blaming the cough button for the fact that? Have you seen, okay, what is he doing?

Why is he like this? Is this new relaxed how he's comfy, cozy in his house? This is a 72-year-old man in his home studio. Can you imagine? Yeah. All right. Here's the new biggest problem. Oh, man.

I can't believe it. I got to do the radio show. Yeah, Vito, our lives are tough, man. That's a tough gig that we have here. Anyone who work a full day today? Because I didn't. You don't make a TV show out if you phoning it in from your home office going, ah, fuck it.

And then keep cutting to guys who actually have to probably work. all day. Right. Like editing your dog shit together. I just end up feeling bad for all your staff members who are actually working and being professional. Yeah. Now, here's why this is actually just.

Ronnie. Ronnie is retired. He moved to Vegas. Howard's like, you can't retire. You're not going to retire. I'm like, no, I'm retiring.

I'm good. And Howard would not let him do it. So he's still on the show, even though he's like, what, 81 years old? Ronnie's very old. Bro, this is an HBO max television show. And I hate to say it. They have worse production quality than my fucking shitty Chinese web camera. How did you not go?

Hey, Ronnie, we're doing an HBO show. We're going to send a crew down there to get you set up with a real high-definition broadcast and not the fucking whatever web camera is built into your iPad. And I have to say, here's what I also have to say. The Ronnie stuff was fun 20 years ago when you went, oh, he's a perverted old man who likes fucking always. Okay. Yeah. They spend like 10 minutes out of talking to Ronnie is about he went to a funeral and he's sad.

And they don't give us the details, which makes it even more like weird. And Ronnie's going, they're like, yeah, you've been fucking any girls lately, Ronnie, you still fucking? He goes, well, you know, this summer there was that death in my family. So, but I, you know, I am fucking. So Ronnie's married to Stephanie, who's like 30 years younger than him. But it's, she's still like in her 50s now. he's in his 80s and he talks about like going down on her in their pool or something like that giving her oral sex in the pool and I'm like I'm like geriatric sex has not turned me on Howard

I don't want to hear about geriatric sex dude and let's be clear so they took a three hour episode they cut it down to um an hour and 20 yeah half an hour is talking to Ronnie about how even though he was sad about going to a funeral he did end up eating out his girlfriend in a hot tub Right. It's like actually fucking unlistenable. Here's the other reason it's unlistenable though, is it's when you get to a certain age, it's fun to do a radio show when everyone's like young and vibrant and, you know, off doing stuff. And, oh, hey, we went to this concert and we had fun and we got a cool guest.

Howard spends the first part of the episode talking about Ralph, goofing on Ralph Sorella, who's dead. Yeah. Going, ah, remember our buddy. Remember how Ralph did this. thing. He is dead, though. And I go, okay, so we're talking about a dead guy. Then they go to Ronnie, who's 80 years old and probably about to die. And he's talking about, ah, you know, and then I went to that funeral and that guy died. I didn't fuck my girlfriend though, and she died.

Then they talk about Dolly Parton. They go, can you believe Dolly Parton's dead? And I go, no, I can't believe. I can believe it. She was very old. And then the end of the fucking episode. It's like a celebration of death. The fucking show. I go, who can watch this? As Howard, of course, doesn't have a musical guest because he's not in the studio anymore. So the episode ends with a ZZ Top performance from probably 20 years ago when ZZ Top was still alive. Well, hold on. Oh, boy. ZZ, when ZZ Top was instilled?

When is this? This must be literally 20 years ago. No, it's not that old. Maybe. The Howard TV? Let me see. Yeah, that's true. That's a good point.

That's the old Howard TV logo, dude. That's the original Howard TV logo. I think this is from 2006. Yeah, you could be right. So the show is a mix between old people talking about their dead friends, how they're going to die, how everyone around them is dead. An impression of his dad on this episode, too, who's also been dead for a few years now. It's just old people talking about how they're all going to, look, I understand that when you're old, it's probably on your mind. You know, it's probably, yeah, hey, you know, I am thinking about mortality and what's going on.

I'm losing friends because I'm getting older. But it's no longer a fun shock jock radio show where you're like, ah, now let's bring in a girl and throw below. Tony hit her ass. You go, no, we're all just here. We're trapped doing. And that's why it's also sad. You see Gary, you go, Gary doesn't have a life beyond this. He's at the end of his rope. He'll do this until the show's over and then he'll retire. Gary's only girl who doesn't have a life. Gary comes in studio. Well, Gary did. Yes, that's what you've been up to? He's like, oh, I traveled out and see friends down in Virginia. I went to a Mets game. I went to a concert. I was doing this. I was doing that. It's like, Gary's living his life. And Howard was just

like, that's crazy. Why were you just hang out in your basement all day? Why were you just like, maybe see your wife walking by with cats in your mansion. Don't you say goodbye to your wife and then retreat into a cave for the rest of the day? I mean, even they got, is this, is this even recent? Dude, it's just so hard to figure out this show. And maybe I'll have more coverage of this on my channel. But it's just, there's nothing to talk about. It's the most awkward thing to watch in the world.

And here's, here's the real point that I was trying to get at is, if Howard had retired, let's say even 10 years ago. Okay? You said, listen, I'm not doing radio anymore. I'm going to go away. I got a bunch of money. Like, who gives the shit? I'm going to play chess.

I'm going to fucking paint or whatever the hell. I think now everybody would still be going, man, I miss Howard, man. Howard was great. He could have done, this could have been like a comeback, an actual comeback. Like, hey, I'm going to do a TV show. I'm going to interview people again. People would have went, oh, my God, Howard's a great interviewer. Okay, maybe I'm ready to see him in life.

It's the guys who just never stop and just never go away and just keep doing this. Again, the music acts that just tore every fucking year. And you go, yeah, I got it. I've seen this before. Same song. Same fucking radio hits from 40 years ago. It's like the smart thing to do is retire when you still have a little bit of success and credibility and notoriety.

Props to fat Mike. No effects. They did their final tour. And everyone's like, Mike, you've never been more popular. the documentary is out you should go back on tour he's like no i retired we're done no effects will never play again that's how you do that's awesome that's awesome and he's always going to have uh they they had that new tv that cartoon smiling friends if you watch that at all i have yep and they did two great seasons and they said we're done yeah and i went god that's so fucking smart

you're supposed to do it right the british office it's like fucking brilliant two seasons rickie jervais fucking brilliant and then they're like we're done and then americans went we can probably turn like 15 seasons exactly the main character gone there's a new main character that he's got there's another new made character it's like why are they still film with this documentary doesn't even make sense they made four really good seasons of the american office so then it went up you've never watched any american office i've seen some episodes it's pretty good it's pretty good but look you walk off stage on a high note you don't just fucking dribble out garbage i mean it's such garbage you're just in your fucking house you have

why did hbill give this guy a tv show why did they go no this is not it's like paid by the word i Did you make your point yet or what? I don't know, man. I'm just so flabbergasted by this thing existing. It makes literally no sense to me. Okay. And I don't know why anyone would watch it. That's it.

That's all. Get out of here, Howard. All right. You got one more for me, Carl. I do. I have the biggest problem in the universe. And that is raising money for creative projects. Here's the problem. Here's the problem with raising money for creative projects.

Who would do such a thing? Well, I'll tell you, I'll tell you who. You make all this money, right? All this money coming in. Hey, I want to do this creative project. Like, I would love to see that. Here's a bunch of money. And you make the money. You're like, oh, you guess I don't have to do this creative project anymore because the money's been made. Right. You got the money. Hey, right. Part of it out of the way. Check is in. There's a reason why when you work for an employer, the paycheck comes in a week or two after you've done the work. You know, there's that carrot on the stick that you're still like chasing.

Hey, I'd love to get that carrot. Carrots are delicious. For some reason, certain people say, I'd like to do a creative project. And then a bunch of people say, here's some money for it. And they lose their motivation. One of those examples is Chad Zumach. Chad Zumach put out a GoFundMe support Chad Zumach film his independent comedy special. This is exciting.

I'm excited for this. He's going to make a big comedy special. He wanted $8,300 to film a comedy special. That seems like the right amount. How do you come to that calculation? Oh, he claims. He had a breakdown. He claims that he did all of the back end accounting.

He talked to other creators. He talked to venues. He knew exactly how much it was going to cost. And $8,300. By the way, wasn't extravagant. It was the least one money. He was reasonable. Yeah.

It was reasonable. he says my name is Chad Zumach and I'm entering my 23rd years of stand-up comedian my career has had its share of highs and lows some of those lows were self-inflicted and they've cost me opportunities

that I can never get back but today is about moving forward and doing it the right way I'm embarking on a new chapter one centered on sobriety accountability and honoring the 23 years I've dedicated to stand-up comedy

I've just said you know what I think about comedy Carl I think about centering it around sobriety that's just good comedy to me That's number one. That's number one. I've just said it's finally time to film a comedy special on my own terms. As opposed to his previous comedy specials, which were filmed on other people's terms.

This came out June 15th of 2026. Now, he just gave an update. If you want to go down and click on yesterday's update. Okay, here we go. Chad Zumag. All right. There it is. He says, it's been a while since my last update.

But the venue is booked. And the team is secure. Secure team. We're good. We're good to go. Okay. I also wanted to establish some distance from the actual filming because things were getting a little crazy with people trying to get it canceled and others recording my shows

so they can play the jokes I'm working on on their own shows. That's simply stealing. This is a man who literally took people's credit cards out of their lockers of the gym. That's stealing. He would know. He would know, Carl. Oh, you robbers. You bad guys.

thieves out somebody stealing it's not cool not cool guys not cool yeah I'm getting up four days a week working at my new jokes and purposely not doing them on shows I promote once it's announced you'll probably be sick of hearing about it until then thank you for all your support and continue support also I've kept the go fund me open because why not everybody raised this point forward for advertising and promotion once the special is released so what chat is on here is he decided to start to go fund me for a new comedy special without writing jokes. He didn't have any plan in place.

He's just like, can I get $8,300? And people went, oh, you know, he didn't have any set ready at all, you don't think? Oh, he's admitted to this. He didn't have any new jokes. He's so, because normally when a guy, whenever I've heard a comedian say, I want to do a comedy specials, because, oh, you know, I've spent the last three years building up really good trusted material and I'm finally ready to record it. rarely is it a guy I've never heard a guy be like yeah and I'll just you know I'll come up with

some jokes for it along the way I just said it's actually insane I said a semi friend of mine yeah a person Ryan long just recorded the comedy special and I went to see him and he's performing his whole new set and it's killer it rules another friend of mine Dave Landau just released a new comedy special it's on YouTube gas digital put it out it's 30 minutes Dave Landau fucking killer awesome said he did it in Austin it's fantastic chad goes hey if you guys give me a bunch of money i'll record a special do you have new material oh do i need that oh uh yeah i'm working on that now they got a bunch of money remember 8300 bucks is how much he wanted he's up to 12,885 well i got so this is literally the first time i've heard that he doesn't have material ready

to go and i got to say my mind's actually blown because he is he saying he wants to do the special like right away like it takes at least six months to write a set like a decent set and try it out and get decent stuff going like what is his plan here when he put this go fund me out in june he said i'll have it out by the fall oh i'll have the special out by that's a terrible plan terrible it's retarded he's the guys had been in stand-up comedy for 23 years yeah he didn't know that this was going to be difficult to pull off So then he said, all right, well, I'm not going to do new material. I'll just do my own material.

I'll make that my special. That's smart. Honestly, he should do that. Yeah. Well, except for the fact he's already done a dry bar special with all that material. So he already has a special with his old material. And now he's going to just reuse it so he doesn't have to write all new jokes. Maybe.

I don't know. Now he's saying he gets up four days a week. He's working on new material. This reminded me of someone else I know. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

So there's this guy named Vito Giswaldi. So he was going to make this, this comic book. He was going to. Yeah, he was. Let me take a look at that real quick. I put this into Grock. I'm like, what's, what's up with the Vitozwaldi? What is up with that?

So he decided to crowd fund his project through Indiegogo. I did do that. Yes. I don't put anything up on the screen. I'll take it from here. Okay, okay. I'll take it from here, my friend. I just want to remind people, look at how cool those that art is.

So this is what Grock told me. The campaign for Super Killer number one, a blood soaked. superhero comedy, watching early May, 2023 with a $10,000 goal. It ended up raising $121,000 through roughly 2,185 backers around 1,189% funded. Yes. That's a lot of fucking money, you know. We did. That was a pretty, that was pretty surprising.

I'm not going to lie. He promoted it to his existing audience from YouTube, the biggest problem in the universe podcast and related comedy slash pop culture. circles rewards included the 65 page graphic novel multiple covers including it not safe for work variant a collection with extras like circles rewards including a 65 i'm sorry uh with extras like lunchbox and pod box that's exciting hats trading cards yeah higher tier merch bundles absolutely physical copies were delayed for years after funding a digital issue went out later Kna Kna.

KV. And the campaign was briefly reopened at points. That's true. Here's the problem, Vito. Yes. You had all this ambition. You know, all this drive. Like, hey, if I could just raise $10,000, I'm like the greatest comic book anyone's ever seen.

People were like, right. Vito, I believe in you. Here's a bunch of money. And you went, oh, shit. Well, now that I have the money. Dick, what's the biggest problem this week? What are we talking about? Maybe I'll go on PCA later.

I don't know. I'll see if I can. Okay, right. So the accusation is that I'm resting on my laurels. I'm resting on my money. For years. For years. Over three years. It's gone by. I look, I agree that the delays are unreasonable. I completely agree. You've delayed the delays. It's a bad delay. If I was sitting at my gate at the airport, I would be a little bit upset at this point. I'm like, my players was to leave in 2023. everybody who's mad is absolutely allowed to be mad. Right. And I, I, if you want a breakdown of my sheer confidence, it's not the point.

But I got to give it to you. I got to give it. Raising money for creative projects that never happened, voted up on biggest problem. That's my problem this week. What a fun episode. This has been, Vito. I am having a lot of fun. I'm always having fun.

I'm never not having fun. Me too. That's why I do it. All I can say, guys, is. I got the colored. I got the colored pages back. I think we're printing this thing. I think we're printing this thing.

I've been hearing this for years now. I'll tell you exactly where we are right now is. I got the colored. I got the lettering back. We're 24 months out, but it's going to happen. Hold on. Keep the show wrong. All right.

I'll keep the show going. Hold on. Dude, I didn't. How does he, how did he not prepared for this? I literally said him ahead of time. that my one of my problems is going to be raising money for creative projects he knew I was going to target super killer which probably super killers is out if you want to get super killers I hear that's great check that things I'm in the middle of organizing thing I heard that I heard the super killers was promoted on the dick show

I was like oh this sounds interesting yeah everybody's that everybody's getting in on the fun all is yeah so here is of Super Killer. Okay. This was the last thing on the list. I have the colors. I even hired another guy who came in. The last thing on the list would actually be making a color shock and down. I know that.

Okay. It's colored. It's got letters on it, everything. Okay? I had a print expert come in and he went through all the pages. He fixed them. He said that's not going to show up in print. You can't print that colored teal.

It's just going to look like shit. Okay. So this week. I put in the order I'm going to get some test books the test books are going to let me look at them make sure there's no problems somebody give you thousands of dollars

stop talking about this stop telling him what's going on stop promising what you can't deliver okay exactly so I'm going to get the print the actual final print proofs will come in I look at them you know you make last minute changes

you go okay all of the money do you have any money left you can't I have money left there is still money I didn't spend all the money. Take it alone. I didn't take out a loan. There's enough money.

And everything is produced except for the books. And the books are ready to print as soon as I looked them over and get everything else. So I know it's been a long. Before the, look at it. Look at these colors. Look at these colors. They pop. They pop.

They pop. They do pop. And they didn't pop before. And that was part of the problem. And I know nobody wants to hear about it. We are 40 pages into Super Killer. too. So here's the cool thing is once Super Killer 1's out. You're not going to have to wait. Shut up, Carl. You're not going to have to wait three years for the next one. The next one is over.

Eric July. Can I point something out to you fucking idiot? What? What? A new hope came out. They didn't start working at Empire Strix back because they're like this could be a flop. We get the way people like it first. I don't care. People have to like it first. You can't make a sequel. I'm making a sequel. And I'm also working on the third one. This is a franchise in the making, Carl. Back to the future did not plan two and three. And then back to the future was awesome. And they're like,

we should probably make two and three. You can't just create Superkiller, which took way too long to make. I can do whatever I want. I can do whatever I want. You can. I'm just telling you. That's the point, Carl.

As your business consultant, I'm telling you, don't do this. Here's what I'm going to tell you is. As you're a life coach. Here's what, okay. Here's what super killer is to me, Carl. This is my passion.

I can't fucking take it. I understand that this is, if at the end of the day you go, this is not a viable consumer product, this is not something anyone wants to buy or invest money in. I get it. That's fine. A lot of people make things that are for the sake of making them. Okay. You make your experimental noise music for a basement of fucking drug dealers and psychopaths. I get it.

And I'm doing it because I just want to make comics. and I'm actually working on the comic is more fun than anything I'm doing anywhere else. I didn't want to get this deep with you, buddy. I wasn't playing to do this. That ship sailed when he raised $121,000 of crowdsourced money. I've never asked for a dime for the isotopes. Well, I didn't expect to raise that much money. I have an album coming out in October and everything that I do, I paid for out of pocket.

I didn't know. And that's why I'm able to be like, it's just a hobby is what I do for fun. Yeah, I didn't ask someone to buy my guitar for me. I bought it my fucking self. You can't be out of here and just be like, well, Carl, just do this on a whim. I don't care.

I just bought. No, you raised too much fucking money to say that. The goal was $10,000. The goal, and I'll be real. Because I raised so much money, originally I was going to do like a shitty little black-and-white comic. And then I got in my head, I'm like, this needs to be a fucking event.

I got to go balls of the wall. I got to hire all the best people. You're right. I should have just made a shit little thing. Wow. The money was even worse. It started. Why?

Did you get me money? It started with guys. I'm just doing this as a fun little hobby at the side. This is what I like to do is my passion. And then I go, well, yeah, but you raise too much money for, to call it just your hobby and your passion. You go, well, it's their fault for giving me too much fucking money. It is your fault.

Why did you, you guys spoiled it with all your money is the worst. Bad look, man. This is a bad luck. But I'm rooting for you. Look at this. Super Killer 2. Already on the way. I don't even know what happened to Super Killer 1.

Well, you're going to find out because it's coming out. I love. You are. You're going to read it. Carl, here's the thing. You're going to read it. And then you're going to be like, ah, it's not that bad. All right. And then they go, then they go on missions and they have fun. It's that I'm not zoom mocking you. I'm not zoom mocking you. And everybody's going to be come away, smiling and satisfied. Are they missionaries? They're spreading Christianity? What kind of missions are we talking about?

They are spread. Yeah, they're spreading. They're spreading the Lord of Christ. It would be funny if I just go, yeah, they're just spreading Jesus across the multiverse. look everyone's going to come away smiling and satisfied I know how to satisfy people I know how to make them happy and I will bend over backwards to make sure everyone's happy that's the veto guarantee I've got a big comedy special coming up in two months I don't have any jokes ready so I'll be raising money on go fund me for my new comedy special it's going to be a real good time all right guys well this has been the biggest problem in the universe I want to remind you guys of course

To vote on all the problems at biggest problem. That show. Follow Carl at who are these.com at Carl WATP on YouTube. Carl with the cat. Yeah, anything else going on in the dabbled verse that people should know about Carl. If you want to check out my YouTube channel, we just did an amazing interview with Jerry Banfield. He came on the show and I put it out as a separate video. You can watch the full episode is also available under the live tab.

And Jerry Banfield, if you're not familiar, is a guy I've been following for the last six plus years. He's a YouTuber. He's in over $200,000 of debt. He's divorced. He's trying to date women. He's into crypto. He thinks he has life figured out.

He claims that he's in Mensa. He's a top 2% IQ in the world. He's got to be in Mensa. He's a genius. He claims he's a genius. And it was a very fun interview with him. What I like about him, and we make fun of, you know, low cows, I guess you would say on our show, is considering John, Opie, and a bunch of these guys.

Well, like about Jerry is he's both self-aware and unaware at the same time. Jerry's in on the joke, but also doesn't really understand what's going on. I was worried about listening to it. I'm like, does he know that he's insane was my question? Yeah. Because he's gone from I'm a published author to I'm a wealth guru, even though the only thing I tell anybody to do is buy this one crypto coin, which is not worth any money. I know.

I called him out for writing this book. I go, who would fucking read this book? It just says author in St. Petersburg. Why would I care about that? Maybe if you live in St. Petersburg, you go, I didn't know there. I didn't know that. That's exciting to me. Anyway, check that out.

It's very fun. People seem to enjoy it. All right. Well, I also want to remind everybody that we have our new voicemail number. And I want to make sure I actually get it right this time. I believe it is 689 biggest. Guys, you can call 689 biggest leave a voicemail and be a part of the action. Here we got a voicemail.

Let's take a listen. Yeah, V-Dog. The biggest problem in the universe is Reddit. You need to get off Reddit. I used to be on Reddit, and every subredd has just turned into, like, people complaining really hard. And I'm, like, trying to get people. Oh, like, the rest of the world is different. Being angry for, like, this new game or this thing that they think sucks, and it's just really easy for people to complain.

So just get off Reddit. It's, like, it's just not what it used to be, especially in, like, the small subreds. So that's a little tip for you. Reddit sucks. And you can get feedback way better from like normal human beings, like people that you know. So I've just let you know. And also the voicemail, it rings for like 40 minutes before I can talk. That's another problem.

Wait, really? Yeah, you got to turn that off. Oh, I got on. Ah, my bad. I didn't realize that's a Google voice setting. Can I just say? Check out the big brain on Brad. You're a smart motherfucker.

That's right. Yeah, Vito. Every time I see the biggest problem subreddit, you're either posting or commenting and replying to things. Like, you got to get off of Reddit, man. Feel free to read it. Feel free to like get the feedback. I do that as well. It's useful.

Can engage. Engaging in such a waste of time. I know. You're right. I honestly. Oh, no. I'm turning into dick. I'm doing less of it.

I'm doing way less of it. Oh, see. I'm telling Vito what to do. And he's going, I know, I know you're right. He's not listening at all. I am listening. I am listening. Shut up, Carl.

Listen, I am engaging. There are so many times now that I want to fight with the people and they're going, you're not doing it right or whatever else. I am trying to, and maybe I shouldn't even do that. You know, I had people be like, Shut the fuck up, ass wipe and suck my cock. Okay, let me give an example. People are going, hey, Vito, why do you keep using this, the old intro?

Dick's not on the show anymore. You need to make a new intro. Yeah. I do need to make a new intro. You don't need to read it for that. I saw that in the comments when we were going live. Okay, but here's the thing is if I make a new intro and then let's say I get a new permanent host, then I have to make another intro that incorporates them. That's a good point.

So I'm like, I don't want to spend time on a fancy intro and then have to switch it up immediately. Maybe I can find a neutral intro or something. I don't know. I was looking up some where it's just like cool fucking fight intros with boxing guys. And I could just put the biggest problem logo on top of that. Boxing guys, you mean boxers? No, boxing guys. I was watching a sporting event last day with a bunch of football guys play.

Look, there's a lot of cool intros you can get. In your defense, in your defense. Mental illness can literally drive you crazy. There's been a little bit of that. There's been a little bit of that. Before you put it to the voicemail, there's some superchats that came in. And I want to address those. I'm sorry.

I want to address those. I want to show you guys. All right, tell me if you think this should be. be the new intro of the show. Okay. I want to show that this is what I was looking at yesterday. Biggest problem. Yeah.

No. But everyone, every one of the faces will just be me. No. Definitely not. It's just be me in different cool posts. No. Vito Giswaldi with Vito Giswaldi.

Featuring Vito Giswoldi. Original music by Vito Giswoldi. All right. Thanks. Let's do the voicemails, then we'll get back to the Super Chats. Here's another voice mail. People are here. They just gave us money.

Okay, hold on. Well, I don't want to miss an order. Like a while ago. No, we're doing. Okay, I'm going in order. All right, let's do a couple. Let me find these Super Chats. Again, it would be easier if it starred the Super Chits.

I know. It doesn't star them for me anymore. It is making it difficult for you. We'll figure that out. All right. Ha, ha, how wash show? Am I right? Talking about the Stern show.

Not this one, of course. Yeah. All right. Look, I understood it was a little, shouldn't you end the show when the host is becoming pathetic? I get it. I get it. A.K. If you don't give us a timeline of concrete date. This week, I am getting test books.

Stop it. The test books will probably take a week to come back from the printer. Stop giving it. Then I look at the test book. I think next month we're going to have books in hand ready to ship. That's it. October. That's your date.

Shut up. Got my nip for five. Look. See, they're defending me. Carl's such a narc. I backed Vito and I knew I'd have to wait forever for it. That's the appeal tantra crowdfunding. I'm tickling the balls, Carl.

It's slowly. Viper 7K for 50 American dollars. I want to have a soundboard here. Oh, yeah. Says Carl again, I'm working so I can't watch, but I need to resub to the Patreon now. Thank you, Vipers 7K. Shee.

Look, let's. Let's value Carl well we have him. We know he's a busy guy, but he's agreed to help us out. And that's, thankfully, honestly, it makes my life a lot easier. I can spend more time. People are like, where are the clips? Where are the shorts? Okay, well, now I don't get to scramble to fucking arrange a guest every week

and explain to them why their problem of emojis is going to fucking flop. You know, now I can just focus on. And Vito's a very busy man not putting a cow up account for over three years. This takes time. There's a lot of this. Yep. I know. I know.

There's a lot of this. I get it. I'm also, you know, I got to, you don't even know. You don't even know what I'm doing. I'm doing all sorts of things. I had to go live and sell magic cards yesterday, Carl. To 200 people. It was a, it was a nightmare.

Derek Daly for Tense is Reddit slash Vito. Gizwaldi stock tip Vito always with the Carl drops. Jay Brodick says for two, the super killers came out. Super Killer still delayed. Well, Super Killer. is on its way, baby. You're getting it. You're getting it.

It's happening. I know nobody will. Nobody leaves me. Also, I shouldn't have take these papers all out of order. It's going to take me a couple days to get all those papers in order, unfortunately.

But there are already fat jokes. That just added another month to the Superkiller timeline. Yeah. Here's another voice. Here's another voice. This is Populge. I just wanted to say

the biggest problem in the universe is actually talking and chirping and beeping Bluetooth devices. I know it sounds like a minor problem, but over time it's just like Chinese water torture. It's been thriving me crazy. You turn on a Bluetooth device, and for five seconds, you'll hear,

power on, battery full, or power on. And then the name of the company, welcome to Alt-Tech Lansing, power on, you know. and okay I'm reading the transcript there's a minute and a half of him explaining what your Bluetooth speaker does when you turn it on I get it why can I not here's what I don't understand why can I not rename a Bluetooth device my problem is Bluetooth devices that don't tell you what they are so when I go to connect to a Bluetooth device it just says OG Jan X59 and I'm like I don't know if that's the speaker or the toothbrush I don't fucking know I have a different problem

And I don't know if this is common or not, but I have AirPods. And my AirPods can connect to my iPad, my iPhone, my MacBook. And what I'll do is I'll be listening to a podcast and I'll have them on, listen to my phone on a podcast. And then as soon as my computer turns on, it switches automatically. I'm like, well, I'm actually listening to a podcast. Why would you think I'd want to transfer it? The worst is I'll go out for a bike ride.

I'll be riding for an hour listening to a podcast. I get back by the time I get to my driveway, it takes the AirPods away from my phone. and out of my computer because that's next to my office at my garage. I'm like, why would you think for a second I care about what's going on my computer? I've been listening to my iPhone for the last hour. Just leave it there. It's an imprecise technology. Bluetooth is on the list.

People should vote it up. It is just bizarre how it should be the most convenient thing in the world. Oh my God. I can connect all my devices wirelessly. Don't assume I want to switch it to something else. Don't ever assume that. I'll ask you to switch it to something else. what I want you to.

Well, that's the, but now we're going to have to entrust it AI and AI is going to have to figure out, well, maybe he actually wants to listen to it in the kitchen. I'm not. Dude, I hope. I hope. I hope. I hope. I hope so. What are we at 2026?

They're saying 2030 humanity ends. Perfect. I'm good. It kind of feels like a good capstone to it. It does. I agree. I mean, the crazy thing to me, and I should have brought this in, boycott of the week. Do you see that what their conservatives are mad at this week is, uh, is, uh, uh, you see that what their conservatives are mad at this week is,

cheese. Cheese is great. What do you mean? Cheese is great. So they don't have, they loved the Bud Light thing. Remember how they were all mad at Bud Light for being trans. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And they haven't had a good one like that where, like, they really get

off on when they can shame a company for being woke or, you know, progressive or whatever. And this is what's going on in the world right now, if I can share this tab, is Tillamook Cheese. is under attack

because on the label in a very small font it mentions oh by the way this cheese is a halal and conservatives have these viral tweets going I'm never buying

al-Qaeda cheese ever again halal certified and they're making the videos where they throw the cheese and the trash or whatever and I go hello

halal certified just means that there's no like animal you like the way halal basically they're using animal rent it to make cheese, this is not interesting at all.

Now there are just versions that don't use animal proteins. And the cheese taste is exactly the same. I bet it doesn't. That sounds like it sucks. Everything I've read. But Vita, I will tell you this, the only way to get a campaign like this off the ground is you have Kid Rock shoot it up with a rifle. Until that happens, I'm not getting on board with it.

I don't care. I want to see a big wheel of cheese getting absolutely destroyed by Kid Rock. Kid Rock. That's when I know. This is the real deal. Again, this is, since 2016, they've been using it with fermentation produced rent it, not animal rennet. So it's not even a new thing. It said it's halal for the past like four years. They just finally figured it out and they're like, let's throw out our cheese. And I'm going, yeah, we probably all deserve to die to AI. This is like where we're at. Society has progressed this far and we're still arguing over whether or not

a different God approves of our cheese and if it's okay i don't even know i can't even wrap my fucking head around you know you have 16 unread messages i'm it's now it's not it's usually when you're in like a group chat and they're all just going ah yeah i got one more voicemail here all my friends just grunt and moan yeah i'm in a grunting moaning uh group What's up, Vito? It's your boy, Prime. Sure you know, there's a Street Fighter movie coming out in theaters worldwide on October 16th. I heard about that, yes. I know it's cringe to react just to trailers, but based on what they've released,

Cammy's characterization seems like it's going to be the biggest problem in the universe. It's like they're going for some sort of whack Harley Quinn dynamic. I think the rest of the cast actually looks pretty good, but I'm nervous about what they're doing in my girl, man. Anyway, I was thinking maybe we could do a biggest problem street fighter tournament or something similar around the movie. I know you keep dodging me in Discord about playing, but I think it would be fun and a good way to do

like some community building or whatever. And the game is so damn popular these days. You could probably get a bunch of eyeballs from other communities if you streamed it. Anyway, shoot me a message on Discord, man. Let's do something fun. I love the content. Sorry, it didn't work out with Dick,

but I'm rooting for you going forward, Vito. Later. I think everybody's happy and healthy. I would like to, you know, we used to do biggest problem meetups, We did stand-up shows. It would be cool to do something. I think once, again, I know it's an impossibility,

but I think when the comic is printed out, we can have a little, oh my God, it's finally done. Shut up, don't roll your fucking eyes, Carl. We got to have a finally it's done meet up at the comic shop, and we could all celebrate the love and excitement of indie comics again. I don't fucking know, but we should have more community. I want to thank everybody for your comments and your voicemails. I'm trying to stay positive, Carl.

What do you want? Worst episode ever. I'm still figuring things out. I know I don't want every episode to turn into a fucking Vito therapy session. But I'm happy. I know. Well, there is. I got to go.

Vito, you're the best. Thanks for having me again. I understand. We're all. we're wrapping it up. Thank you, Carl. You know my Venmo. I know your Venmo. The money will be sent.

I'm kidding. I love you all. And I think we got all the super chat. Thank you. Everyone is super chatted. We're going to make it happen. We're going to learn to love each other. Bye-bye.
