The Josh Innes Show - The Joy Of Screwing With People On Facebook

Episode Date: February 8, 2026

It is Sunday. We are a few hours away from the Super Bowl. I don't know when you'll be listening to this. Anywho, today I asked the reads of the WLLZ Facebook page if they'd be flipping over to the Kid Rock halftime show. It has over 1,000 comments in like 2 hours. People just want to be angry. Why?

I am really amused by how easy it is to just fuck with people. And we've known this forever, right? Like you've known that you can just fuck with people and people can easily be manipulated and just drawn into this world of anger and shit. But, um, and as long as you're not doing stuff that's, um, like for your own gain other than your own enjoyment, I guess it's okay.

Like I think a lot of people spread bullshit on the internet and do so, uh, for their own personal gain, whether it be for clicks, quote unquote clicks, whether it be for money, whether it be for fame, whether it be to help move along their personal brand and their own personal agenda. And I think that kind of shit actually hurts people and that's bad for people. When you're just doing shit to prove a point that people are fucking morons, I enjoy it. And that's what I do on the radio station Facebook page when I post questions, which by the way, are not like bad questions, which by the way are not misleading questions, which by the way

are not questions that I would say are like, like in theory are not divisive questions, right? They're not leading questions. But I was telling you this the other day that you could post a thousand things on the WLLZ Facebook page and nobody will comment. And like I'm talking happy things. It could be like dude literally cures cancer. there will be no more cancers of any sort. Cancer is done goodbye.

No AIDS. No HIV. No colon cancer. No rectal cancer. No tongue cancer. No throat cancer. No breast cancer. No ball cancer.

All cancers eradicated because somebody has gone out and saved the fucking day. And there is no more cancer. And it would get like four likes and like one comment. And the comment would be like a bot. They would be linking you back to point. but if you ask a question that involves these three people, well really two people, Ted Nugent or Kid Rock, the Facebook page will melt down.

It is like somebody sends out a bring out the dipshit, like a dipshit signal goes out. It's like people get alerts on their phone whenever WLLZ posts about Kid Rock or posts about Bad Bunny or posts about Ted Nugent. And it never fails. There is never a time that you can post about one of those people, and it won't get at least a thousand views. I say a thousand comments.

If you've never heard of Freddy the Pizza Man, F-R-E-D-I, Freddie the Pizza Man, look him up. He's in Melvindale, Michigan, which is a, you know, a suburb of Detroit, basically Dearborn, Michigan, home of Ford. And he's got an amazing pizza place. He was on the He was on the port. A portnoi helped blow this thing up a couple years ago. There was four or five years ago. He said it's the best pizza he's had in Detroit.

He's not lying. It is spectacular and he's a wonderfully nice guy. And I was sitting there and I was bored waiting for the pizza because, I mean, the line at this place is redonculus. I got there right when it opened. So I caught a break. If you get there 10, 20 minutes after it opens, you're probably waiting 30, 40, 45, 50 minutes. I mean, just settle in. And it's not his fault.

It's just, you know, he makes these pizzas fresh for people. And I mean, people don't mind waiting because it's fucking good. And Freddie's a wonderful dude. But anyway, so I was there and I'm like, you know what I'm going to do today? I'm going to go to the Facebook pages. I told you it already had big plans. And my big plans are to post about the halftime show right after the halftime show and just see if we can break the web page or break the Facebook pages record.

But anyway, so looking at the Facebook, I was like, you know what I'm going to do? I'm just sitting here minding my own business. I'm going to post about WLLZ and asking the question, will you flip over to the Kid Rock halftime show at any point and just kind of see what the reaction will be from people? And I screenshot it 14 minutes after it had posted, it already had like 300 comments. Again, scroll down through the Facebook page.

Dude from Three Doors Down Dies. All right, so 24 hours ago, we post about the dude from Three Doors Down Dying. That is a guy whose music we play on the radio station. That's a dude whose music was a very important part of the 2000, some really great fucking songs. If I could be like that and Cryptonite and, I mean, again, when I'm gone and all, I mean,

just awesome shit. Three doors down put out bangers. And I know it's easy to forget about that because they didn't put out hits you in the last 15 years or whatever. But in like the era of butt rock, these guys were fucking awesome. All right?

We post about that 24 hours ago and it gets 133 likes, one comment. 133 likes, one comment about the guy from three doors down dying at 47 years of age from cancer.

133 likes, one comment. Mind you, on the WLLZ Facebook, a lot of times it's, why don't you guys post about music? Anytime you post about something that isn't about some shitty band, it's, why is this the kind of shit I'm seeing on a rock station Facebook page? Just posted about fucking rock music, chief. 133 likes, one comment. The next one, remembering Brad Arnold of Three Doors Down.

This was posted a little bit after that with some pictures. 812 likes, 32 comments. Okay, that's more, that's better. 830, hey, good. People are at least like, hey, this guy did some good shit, let's like it. Scroll up. Savannah Guthrie tells moms abductors we will pay, which is a weird story. One like.

Scroll up to, will you flip over to the Kid Rock halftime show at any point? 835 comments and 13 likes. In two hours. People just want to talk about drama. They just want to be pissed. Scroll up again. 13 minutes ago, let me refresh this just to see. Now, mind you, we play Green Day on the radio station.

We play a couple Green Day songs. Green Day now kind of falls into this kind of new era of classic rock, if you want to call it that. And yes, I'm aware that classic rock is an actual genre. But whatever. They fall into this new era. of playing, you know, alt rock as part of like the classic rock, whatever. Some people get pissed about it, whatever. Green Day is a part of that.

We play a handful of Green Day songs. How excited are you that a real rock band like Green Day is opening the Super Bowl? Now, mind you, people bitch that rock bands don't get any run at the Super Bowl. We don't see rock at halftime. We see all these. We see Bad Bunny, bad bunny. So I say a real rock band, a band that plays instruments, a band that's a rock and roll band. How excited are you that a real rock band like Green Day is opening the Super Bowl?

14 minutes ago, it's got 24 comments already. And I'm going to say, and most of them are, the fuck are you talking about Green Day ain't a real rock band? They're a bunch of lip tards. So I cannot wait. I am passionate. I am super passionate about halftime here. Because I cannot wait until half time of the Super Bowl,

right after Bad Bunny hopefully like sacrifices somebody or wears a dress or just like fucks a dude on stage or whatever it is. It's all in Spanish. I cannot wait for the halftime show. And then I cannot wait to go to the WLLZ Facebook page and ask, so gang, what did everybody think of the halftime show?

Hey, gang, what did everybody think of the Bad Bunny halftime show? I can't wait. Look, I'm not generally speaking what you would call a troll and when I do troll, I tell people I'm going to troll and I'm aware that people think I'm a troll all the time and I'm not.

I guess this is the one time that I will say that I am trolling people because it's really, it's a social experiment. You start to just see how people just want to be mad about shit. Right? Like that's kind of what this is. It's just like, why do you want to be angry?

Because you could comment on all the other good shit that's posted. We post funny videos every fucking day. And I'm not talking about click baity, like click this and they'll link you back to this. No, I'm talking funny shit from our radio show that's like topical, and you can comment on it, and like three people will comment on it. And 10 people will like it. And it gets nothing. And it's happy stuff.

But if you ask, hey, you're going to flip over to the Kid Rock Half, It is a full-on war between these dipshits. And it's like, again, some sort of signal must, like an alarm must sound. Like, they must have a setting on their phone where anytime this name is mentioned on a Facebook page they follow, like an alarm goes off. Kid rock alert, kid rock alert. So anyway, if you want to be amused, I'm just going to let you guys in on this. If you guys want to be amused after halftime, just remember that the 106.7 WLLZ Detroit's Wheels Facebook page is going to be fucking electric when I go in and post, all right, gang, what did you guys think of the bad bunny halftime show?

And then it all goes down. I guess I could also post questions, even though these would be more obviously trying to just get a reaction out of people, since they're not music related. Like since these are music-related questions, it's not obvious that I'm just like asking these questions just so I can sit back and watch the fucking olds fight against the blue hairs and have a good time. But I would ask about, hey, what do you think about these Olympic athletes

that are embarrassed of America, huh? What about that? And just see people go off on that too. Yeah, I find myself responding to certain things on Twitter sometimes. It just depends on the mood I'm in in a given day. And what I've also learned is like barely anybody responds to any of my shit anyway. I'm not trying to sound all conspiratorial like I'm Tony Bruno here, trying to like email Elon and ask why my shit doesn't get seen anybody.

And then like why certain things just pop. Like once a month, maybe twice a month I'll have something that just has a billion fucking likes. And it's a thoughtless like throwaway tweet. And then I'll spend hours trying to think of something funny and two likes. It's very fascinating. But I saw some guy. and basically currently my algorithm today is just a bunch of people bitching about Trump or whatever.

And again, just to be very clear, I don't even fucking like Trump. I don't like Trump. I'm sick of the bullshit. I had a guy I was talking to today that runs a news talk station. And he and I were buddies and I texted him about something. I forgot what it was. Oh, it was about the halftime show. Because he's a news talk guy and he runs the station and he's also on the air.

And I was talking with him. And I texted him and was like, boy, I really hope bad. bunny wears a dress. I'm like, just please come out wearing a dress. I want bad bunny to sacrifice. I want a human sacrifice. Like, I hope he comes out with like, who is that Sam Smith that did like the, that had the kind of demonic performance?

And then what's his name? The little Naz X. I want the three of them get together and just fuck each other on stage. Like, I'm all for it. I just want the world to melt. All right. But then, like, I want bad bunny then to like bring out like someone that's like super alt-righty and just blow everybody else's mind too.

Like ladies and gentlemen, Kanye West is here. And then just see what the fuck happens. Like, I want the world to burn. That's all I want. Like, at this point, why not? The genie ain't going back in the fucking bottle. We ain't getting back to any sort of normal. So the place might as well just fucking burn.
