Starting point is 00:00:32 Makeup wipes? we're done. You promised me so much. Late nights, quick fixes. It sounded great, but you always left a mess. Honestly, you're straight up irritating. I've been vibing with Garnier My Siller water lately. I can trust it with dirt, SPF, waterproof makeup. It cleanses, soothes, and doesn't play games with my sensitive skin. It's not me. It's definitely you. Swipe right on Garnium Iceler at your local retailer or on Amazon. It's showtime.

Starting point is 00:01:34 W-H-E-P Who are these podcasts? W-H-E-P Who likes these podcasts? W-A-T-P Who likes these podcasts? Not W-A-T-P Who writes these podcasts? That would be on me Who are these podcasts? W-A-A-T-P! Hello! This is definitely the real Carl Hamburger.
Starting point is 00:02:07 And you're listening to a best of episode so I can enjoy my riches and live as the fancy, frosted-tipped man that I am. The first episode of the show is a series of episodes that are about to be released and the first episode is about to be released. And I'm going to be talking about
Starting point is 00:02:24 the first episode of the show that's about to be released. Definitely the real Carl Hamburger. And you're listening to a best of episode so I can enjoy my riches and live as the fancy frosted tipped man that I am. The first episode we're going to revisit is episode 107, OPI Radio. This was the first time OPI's podcast was reviewed on the show. Jen from the Jingles department joins the show to agree with everything I have to say. And she's right. From May 2018, enjoy a look back at episode 107. OPRADIO.
Starting point is 00:02:54 This is Carl, the host of Who Are These Podcasts, by the way. Today, we'll be reviewing a podcast called OPRADIO. We both listened to the show. We've tried really hard not to discuss it with each other beforehand. Let's get into it. OPI Radio is a brand new podcast by Westwood One starring our friend Greg OPI Hughes. I am weary. From the OPI and Anthony show.
Starting point is 00:03:20 I'm weary from listening to this. Jen and I go back quite a ways with OP and Anthony. What happened is Greg OP Hughes was finally fired by Sirius for sucking and for taking pictures of a coworker shitting. That's a whole other thing. No need to get into that. It took him about 10 months to finally land another gig and everyone was wondering what's he going to do? Sirius has fired him. Where is he going to go? Is he going to trust you on radio? Is he doing something new? He's doing a podcast with the same assholes
Starting point is 00:03:50 he was doing a terrible radio show with at Sirius. And it's exactly the same thing. It is Vic Henley, charade small, and usually this guy, Carl, who's a chef. He wasn't on the episode that we listened to. No. It's the same cast of characters, these unfunny people that Opie surrounds himself with, and it's the same
Starting point is 00:04:10 nonsense that was going on that no one was listening to on Sirius. He's such a one-trick pony. Like I could not tell if you put this on and I didn't know better, I would say this was from 1995. Right. He's not changed his format. He's not changed his attitude. He's not funny. He's a shock jock. And the way that he gained notoriety was through all the shock jock ways that you do that. Getting girls up into the studio, shoving things, you know, with ball bats and girls and all the things that used to do in the 90s that you can't do anymore.
Starting point is 00:04:46 Right. Because finally people are like, well, you know, there's like a Me Too movement and this is probably inappropriate. So now he's this guy who's trying to live in a world that has deserted him. You can't do what he's famous for doing. And he's trying to be funny and roll with the punches. He's brought on unfunny comedians onto a show and he's unfunny. Here is a clip that sums up the episode we listened to guilty by association.
Starting point is 00:05:11 This is like their fourth or fifth podcast. But remember, they've been doing this for years together. This cast of characters, they should have a lot of chemistry. They should know what they're doing. This is exactly what we and by the way, the show was two hours long. Oh, I know. I find I finally got through it this morning.
Starting point is 00:05:29 I finally got to the end. My clips are all from the first hour or so because that was that was enough. Yeah. I have like over 50 fucking clips. I know. I know. It's just everything that I know I said on the time and everything I heard. I'm like, I got to talk about this. Here's the here's the clip that sums it up.
Starting point is 00:05:46 No, we don't have Iron City. Tell me what Peele's is, because I've never heard of it. Let me set this up. They're hanging out at a guy's bar, okay? They decided they're gonna do a podcast from a bar. Yeah. Elby brings his equipment, sets it up,
Starting point is 00:06:01 and they have on this guy, and this guy Sharad, who are supposedly comedians. I don't know about that. I don't know about that. And then they're talking to the owner of the bar, and this is how this conversation goes down. No, we don't have Iron City. Tell me what Peele's is, because I've never heard of it.
Starting point is 00:06:20 Peele's is, I mean, it's, well, right now it's being brooded Captain Lawrence but I think it was an upstate New York product okay way back when but it was you know that cheap stuff that you had to buy because it was that price oh certainly hold on to us Rod is setting up his own life working on his equipment two-man job yeah we're a top-notch that's broken station right now. I've got it on there. What is Iron City? This is a switchboard. Hey, you know what, guys? This right here, this rambling, boring conversation. This is what the show is. Nonsense.
Starting point is 00:06:54 Boring, rambling conversations with old men. Yeah. Opies in his mid to late 50s at this point. Yeah, at least. And this guy, Vic Henley, I don't know a ton about him. Nobody does, he's old. I I didn't realize who he was. I thought he was Larry the cable guy He wishes How do you Larry the cable guy in a shitty podcast Vic Henley? It's interesting. I wanted to do some research on who this guy is and this is gonna sound harsh
Starting point is 00:07:21 But remember that opi used to do a show with Jim Norton. They used to have these guests on Amy Schumer and David Tell and Colin Quinn. They would constantly have top-notch comedians that you wanted to listen to. And now OPI has fallen so far. He was a multi-millionaire, well he still is, but he was making millions of dollars a year working for Sirius. He's now doing a podcast for Westwood One with no business model. I don't know how he makes money on this. There are no advertisements. They don't talk about Patreon. There's no business model here. He's just doing a rambling conversation show for no reason. And he's got this guy, Vic Henley on. Vic Henley is so not famous. The only reference to him
Starting point is 00:08:01 on Wikipedia is his brother's Wiki page. I'm not joking. If you want to find out who Vic Henley is, you go to Terry Henley's Wikipedia page. He was a college football star in Auburn in the early 70s. That's about as unfamous as you can be and still have a Wiki page. He's so not famous. This is Vic Henley guy that his not famous brother
Starting point is 00:08:23 is more famous than him. Figure that out. I have never heard of him in my life and I know a lot of comedians like not personally but I know of a lot of comedians and that's one I've never heard of. Moving on what do you got? Well okay so I thought I'd start with the intro. Okay. That's track one. Oh, yeah. The Opie Radio Podcast. Isn't that the exact same music he used to kind of use? I think it's the sideways Reggie has the Machine song. Because it used to have that Reggie has the Machine music. When he did Opie and Anthony. When it was Opie and Anthony.
Starting point is 00:09:00 It was the same thing. I'm like, wait a minute. But it's a little bit sideways. A little bit. I noticed that too. I didn't do a lot of research into that, but it's like to get you excited. Like, you used to get excited about like, all right, Jim Norton's going to be here at Anthony and Jim Florentine's on the show. It's like, oh, that's going to be great. If you're lucky, Opie's not there. He's on vacation.
Starting point is 00:09:14 Right. Those are always the best ones. Because there's so much fun here when it was just Anthony and Jim. Maybe Jim Florentine. Oh my God. This is Opie in a nutshell. He's so unaware of what is interesting anymore and what people care about. And he thinks that he's like this frat brother guy still, even though he's in his fifties.
Starting point is 00:09:33 Yeah. So at some point they're just doing the podcast, they're talking in this bar and Sherrod Small, who's one of the guys on the show, shows up. That was one of the beers that inspired the grand-grandpas fridge Which is at my other location, okay? Hey, sir, I can you grab your mic. I gotta plug plug another bike They just all start screaming because this guy who's scheduled to be there shows up.
Starting point is 00:10:08 I know. This wasn't a surprise. No. I mean, it's surprising that all the guests weren't there to start the show. I want to point something out too. This is important to note. So they're in this place called Gepards and I'll get to that. It's a bar in Manhattan.
Starting point is 00:10:23 And back in the day, Open Anthony would do these remotes where they would go to a venue and do their show. But the show was actually amplified throughout the venue and the audience was all there to see it and watch it and participate. And they would be you'd hear people laughing and yelling stuff out. And it was a show. These guys are just doing a podcast in a bar by themselves. There's like a little rope around them. Oh, I know.
Starting point is 00:10:47 And people are just milling about, going about their day. You hear traffic driving by. There's no reason for them to be in public doing this. I know. At one point, they, towards the end, I did get almost to the end, and I didn't quite finish listening to it. Yeah. There were some tourists visiting New York, a conversation you can loudly hear right now They're from Amsterdam if you want to play track six They're just waiting
Starting point is 00:11:10 Friends are coming in they didn't even know that the Dutch is real life I like that they so white they make opium a Puerto Rican So he got upset because these tourists didn't realize yeah doing a podcast it's roped off They're just having a conversation just babbling. I'm like got upset because these tourists didn't realize that he was doing a podcast. It's roped off. They're just having a conversation. They're just babbling. I'm like, they're in a bar. Yeah. You're in a bar in the afternoon in Manhattan. So, OPI does not understand anything about podcasting at all. This is him setting up the fact that they're at this place called Gepards.
Starting point is 00:11:43 And this week, I find myself in the neighborhood, the Upper West Side of Manhattan. I'm on 72nd Street at one of my favorite beer joints that's called Gephard's. And I got the owner of Gephard's in front of me, Matt. Hello. I love your joint, brother. Thank you. Okay. The crazy thing is, so OP will just have anybody on the show to just ramble. We'll
Starting point is 00:12:05 get more into that. But Opie still thinks he's doing local radio because he grew up in Rochester doing radio, Buffalo, Boston, New York. He's traveled around having a local radio show and he still thinks that's what he's doing, but he's not. He's doing a podcast. So this is so local radio-esque. And explain to the people that don't know get parts on the Upper West Side. Yeah, it's a bottle shop bar restaurant. So we do got about 300 different bottled beers bottles and cans and then 16 rotating draft beers mostly craft high end import and then your grandpa's favorite old swill grandpa cans. And then your grandpa's favorite old swill grandpa can It's boring you're boring everybody quit boring everyone. Thanks, crotch. Thanks for that job Why would anybody care you're listening to a podcast? He's promoting this guy's bar that is a seven hour drive from where I live Right, why would I care about this and again? He thinks it's radio and I've talked about this before
Starting point is 00:13:04 Why don't I make a touch thinks it's radio and I've talked about this before. Why don't I make a touch on it? It's only going to make noise. What am I doing? Whatever you're going to bar? You're a pro. Oh, Jesus. So he's talking about the fact that he's at Gephard's and he explains where it is and that they're there and how many beers they have on tap and all this stuff. It's a podcast. You hear that, you've heard it. It doesn't matter if it's an hour long, three hours long. You listen to a podcast from the beginning to the end. Right. That's how podcasting works. An hour into the show, he gets back into plugging
Starting point is 00:13:33 it again. Yes. You need another one. Let's do a drinking game. Here, here, here. Have some of the... We're at Get Parts on the Upper West Side. This is a great joint. I'm going to do a lot of podcasts from this place. I love this. I'm going to do a lot of podcasts from this place. I love this. I'm going to do a podcast from this place. I'm going to do a podcast from this place. I love this. I'm going to do a podcast from this place. I love this. I'm going to do a podcast from this place. I love this. I'm going to do a podcast from this place. I love this. I'm going to do a podcast from this place. I love this. I love this. I love this. I love this. I love this. I love this. I love this. I love this. I love this. I love this. I love this. a lot of podcasts from this place. I love this. I'm going to sit here between West End and Broadway. So he has to explain again where the places and what they're doing. Oh, but no one's just joining the show now. I know.
Starting point is 00:13:54 He thinks that he's doing the radio again. Well, he is so out of touch. Oh, he's wildly out of touch. Yes. I don't I would argue he's probably never really been in touch maybe for a brief moment in time, but I think that was just by accident. So I have a lot of clips to get through. Again, this is just OP thinking he's doing local radio. Where are we?
Starting point is 00:14:15 72nd Street between West End and Broadway. If you're in New York City, man, this is definitely a joint to check out. Yeah, some things walking by here, some tasties. All right, we'll get into this discussion about the tasties. They're doing all the things you shouldn't do when you're doing a podcast. They're explaining where they are, what's going on around them,
Starting point is 00:14:36 looking at people and going, oh, look at that person. Which Crozier pointed out in the show when we were on Weezus' show, he did the exact same thing. We're on the radio and this guy, brother Weezus in Rochester is looking out the window and go, look at that guy's hat. Right. And it's a, we're broadcasting to people who are listening to this show. And I just wanted to point out Jim Fornton, who is a friend of the show, friend of Opie's,
Starting point is 00:15:02 big on Opie and Anthony, big friend of Jim Norton. He does a podcast and he even explains in the intro of his podcast every episode why nobody wants to listen to local radio anymore. Listeners podcast is because you are not listening to regular terrestrial radio anymore because it fucking stinks. You're right. It does stink. It stinks because people like opi and wheeze still think that they're so interesting that they can talk about something you have no idea what they're talking about and you would give a shit.
Starting point is 00:15:34 That's what this show is. Right. It's not a stuff talking about things no one cares about. All right, let's talk about tasties. They see hot girls walking by this bar and they refer to them as tasties. I know. Yuck. It was yucky.
Starting point is 00:15:47 I mean, these are 50, 60 year old men, judging 20 somethings and calling them tasties. But not only that, they're ranking them. They're rating them by number. I'm all cool. Because that's such a hack thing. Right. So, I'm pretty sure, okay, I have two clips about this three do three Yeah, some things walking by here some tasties. Well, I don't know you know
Starting point is 00:16:11 You don't get a lot of tasties on the upper You nod you get the international Unless you're into baby carriages then then not the local not the locals all the people who visit the city and go to Central Park and then We'll rate the we'll rate the girls as they walk by this place so far We've seen two fours and a five and a half now. They do see the line for the Hogan doors. Yes. What is that about? I don't know. Oh Jesus Christ Again, these are people who have nothing going on in their lives. They're super fucking boring.
Starting point is 00:16:45 And it is the most nonsense conversation I want to pick up where you left off there. I call this mundane conversation. So far we've seen two fours and a five and a half. Now did you see the line for the Hogan dolls? Yes. What is that about? I don't know. It's around the corner.
Starting point is 00:17:01 Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's because it's the first warm day and everybody wants ice cream. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I'm not having the idea. But everything. Yeah. It, yeah. It's because it's the first warm day and everybody wants ice cream. Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I don't have any idea, but everything. Yeah. It was unbelievable. School just got out and it's a bunch of kids. Yeah, absolutely. Well, we went from went to right into summer once again. Well, that place is so tiny. 40 to 70. 40 to 70. My allergies. Do you guys get allergies?
Starting point is 00:17:16 Yes. Yes, man. All right. I just want to point out everything that's wrong with that clip that we just heard. It's so mundane. They talk about raiding girls. Oh, that's like that four and a half as if any of these girls would ever even look at opi or Vic Henley or any of these assholes. Then they talk about the long line at the ice cream place. I know that. I couldn't believe it. Can you believe how long that line is for ice cream? Right? The hog and dog. Yeah. And then they talk about what time of year it is and then they talk about the weather and Then they talk about allergies which opi pronounces LG's
Starting point is 00:17:53 My LG's am I right guys as crows would say in what universe is this qualifies entertainment? In what universe does anyone care about this conversation? Well, it's a wild life for ice cream. Man, fucking weather, right? Yeah, by allergies. This is the kind of shit that I walk away from in any social setting. When alone, I'm downloading a podcast and listening to it for entertainment. The fuck is wrong with these people? I don't know. All right, let's talk about dumb opiates, because that's always fun. That could take a while Opie starts talking about how he doesn't like IPA's and he explains why IPA's are how they are How do I tell Dave that I don't like IPA's? You know me and Carl. We're just talking about IPA's
Starting point is 00:18:35 You know why they're so bitter why so they could survive the trip to America Yes, wow, do you know what IPA stands for? America. Yes. Wow. Do you know what IPA stands for? India Pale Ale. India Pale Ale. It has nothing to do with surviving a trip to fucking America.
Starting point is 00:18:50 It's out of the 19th century when India was still owned by the British and they were sending beer to the British who lived in India. They had to put a lot of hops in it so that it wouldn't go bad. That's why it has nothing to do with America. Okay. Everybody knows that. And then this fucking charade character is also clueless. He says this. Oh, so they put what, extra barley?
Starting point is 00:19:14 Extra whatever that have to keep it, you know, fresh. I like it. Everybody knows that IPAs taste so they do because they're happy. He goes also they put extra barley in there. Yeah, extra barley. That's exactly what they do. You fucking idiot. It's nice and chunky.
Starting point is 00:19:30 And then the problem with OPI as a broadcaster, he's so unprofessional, is he's having this discussion about IPAs, which is boring and mundane, but then he just sees someone he knows and just acts like it's okay to Break everything that they're doing and focus on that But they didn't make it so better for for people. Hey What's up, man? What's going on? Everybody knows Our kids play together Okay, you gotta get past the high level security
Starting point is 00:20:06 That's razor wire right there double dutch before you scream double dutch before you go for your run in when you come back come on up and join the podcast yeah all right there you have it wait you know back to you know that me and my his daughter and my son. Oh, it's him each, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Who cares? Who would possibly care about this?
Starting point is 00:20:35 And this is what the problem is with Opie. He doesn't understand. He was riding the coattails. He's literally like Inspector Gadget. You know, like an Inspector Gadget has no idea what he's doing. Yeah. But he's got like the dog and the girl and they do all the shit for him and he takes full credit. That's Opie. Yeah. Opie had Anthony and Jim Norton and Jim Norton's network of all of these comedians and all these people he was friends with. And they would come on the show and make the show entertaining for years.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Oh, so great. And Opie thinks that he did that. Opie thinks that he, shit that comes out of his mouth is interesting. It's not interesting in any single way. He's a terrible broadcaster. He's a professional broadcaster. It's always, every time he's on his entire life,
Starting point is 00:21:18 is be on the radio. He has the worst broadcasting voice. Yeah, listen to this. The stressful. They'll be fine whatever school they go to. That's right, yeah. But my daughter is only five. She's in her third year of school and she was interviewing at like three.
Starting point is 00:21:31 Yeah, that's more common. Actually, I think she was interviewing before, no, she was two. I hate when he does that high register OPI thing. Third year of school. Third year of school. It's so obnoxious. This is what counts as a professional broadcaster in today's day and age. How is that possible?
Starting point is 00:21:54 He has some things he could talk about, which is interesting, such as getting fired from serious and, you know, what he's been doing since and the struggling maybe that he's been doing that's something more real, but he's not talking about any of that stuff that I'd actually want to hear about. He's talking about all those other bullshit that I don't care about. He doesn't talk about anything real at all. Later on in the show, he talks about Sam Kinnison came on the show when he was in Rochester. And this clip pisses me off so much.
Starting point is 00:22:24 Anyone who knows OP, this is so obnoxious that he says this. Kenison changed my life, because I was like in Rochester trying to be a radio guy with the radio voice and just central records. And two influences, Brother Weas, I was lucky to work under him and do whatever he needed because I knew he was special. And then he had a friendship with Sam Kenison.
Starting point is 00:22:44 Sam Kenison came into Rochester and hung out for the whole week doing radio. That day I went, oh my god, I'm doing all of this wrong. What am I doing? I'm not saying that I agree. That's not. No, he made me go throw everything in no way and just try to be yourself and just try to be edgy and you know what I mean? Yep. So, this is so frustrated because Opie has nothing but fake and that was the reason why
Starting point is 00:23:10 he's had a falling out with everyone that he was around. Right. Anthony hates him, Jim Norton hates him, all of the people who were part of that show on the fringes of it have all distanced themselves from Opie. Yes, and I also think that he probably didn't treat them very well in addition Right to just treat you know, I think that he was just kind of an asshole to them Mm-hmm. They haven't come out and said it as well Anthony has Anthony has come out and said that opi was an asshole and opi's name is Greg
Starting point is 00:23:40 And he used to talk about when he was in a mood yet a step on Greg shells It's like walking on Greg shells. Yep. Because he would just snap at people. Jimmy's a little kinder, but he alludes to it. Well, Jimmy's created an entire character, Chip Chipperson, which I don't think was originally OP, but he's become OP. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:57 And we'll talk more about that. But it's amazing because he does a weekly podcast now, the Chip Chipperson podcast. Which I love. That is just ripping on OPI. If you know what he's talking about, all they're doing is goofing on OPI sucking. Well, it's just, it's great if you watch it too because you can see the delight in Anthony's face. Well, there's 20 years they spent with this asshole and he has no self-awareness.
Starting point is 00:24:20 I was nobody. I wasn't doing anything special. I met Sam Kinnison, which to me was like, holy crap, throw everything away, do something different. Stop was nobody. I wasn't doing anything special. I met Sam Kinnison, which to me was like, holy crap, throw everything away, do something different, be yourself, and don't worry about what people are going to say about you. Don't worry about what people are going to say about you, that's all this guy does. I know. He's on Twitter nonstop. The subreddit for Open Anthony has ruined him psychologically because these people just rip on him and he fucking can't stand it so they just double down and double down and it's now just a hate fest. All he
Starting point is 00:24:50 does is care about what people say about him. I know. This guy has no self-awareness whatsoever. And this guy, Vic Henley, is on the show. He seems like he's an asshole too. This is a guy who came up with all these comedians. There's so much name dropping going on in the show. And he's a nobody. Well, I've never heard of him. I've never heard of him. Nobody's ever heard of this guy. I have a clip that shows how he is, lacks any type of self-awareness. He's talking about his family and how he gets along with his family. I kind of like hanging with my mom so I was like, right, right, right. And they didn't like me either. So it's sort of
Starting point is 00:25:25 drifted down. Wait, so why did they like you? Oh, cuz I look like my dad and they hated him. Oh, Jen, does that make any sense? The guy goes, my family doesn't like me. So I went with my mom side of the family. They don't like me either. Well, maybe you're an asshole. No, no, no, no, no, I look like someone they don't like and that's why they don't like me. Really, Vic? You're a 60. No, no, no, no. I look like someone they don't like and that's why they don't like me Really Vic you're a 60 year old whatever and you think the people don't like you because of though you look like someone who reminds
Starting point is 00:25:55 Your personality sucks. That's the fucking problem here. I Have a clip where they talk about Tasties again. Yeah, I call this another tasty It doesn't matter. Right here. Another hotty. Alright, now we got another plan. Another hotty. This is another tasty, man.
Starting point is 00:26:10 Yeah, but it's one out of ten tops. That's right. I'll take that one. I hate his bro-downs. I hate it. It's so unnatural. It's not the way guys really talk. Well, not the guys I hang around with.
Starting point is 00:26:22 No. Unless they're not talking that way when I'm not around or something. No, I actually have conversations with guys who are attracted to women and that is not how we talk at all. It's so unnatural, so gross. It is really gross. This is so that guy Ben showed up at one point? Yes.
Starting point is 00:26:43 His neighbor. And that was, well, their kids play together. Okay. And maybe their neighbors, but he's like, oh yeah, my son and his daughter, the same age. Okay. And he tells Ben to join the show because yeah, that makes sense. So then this is Ben joining the show. Ben, what's going on, bud?
Starting point is 00:27:01 They're seeing how much we've been. This is how this is going to go. Yeah, it is. I like it. And I couldn't be happier. I'm okay. Vic, you look familiar. I think I might have mentioned before.
Starting point is 00:27:11 What do you see? You see Opie doing some disturbing things in the neighborhood? Not really. Okay, a couple of things going on here. First off, Vix goes, so what? We're just going to invite anyone you know to join the podcast. And Opie's like, yep, that's what we're doing. Vix's like, I like that. That's a good like, yep, that's what we're doing. It's like, I like that.
Starting point is 00:27:25 That's a good idea. I think we wouldn't know. That's not a good idea. And then, of course, Sharad tries to make it interesting. He's like, so yeah, what's fucking opi up to the guy? It's like, nothing. Yeah. Okay, great.
Starting point is 00:27:38 That's what happens when you bring boring, mundane fucking people under your boring, mundane show. It just becomes as bland as fucking possible. Why would anybody care about this? Weez even talks about this in the intro to this show, which I find ironic. So I played on the on the tease last week, if you listened to the show that we did about Howard Stern, I teased that we're doing OP radio and I had to play for the first minute
Starting point is 00:28:04 and a half of the show is we's talking about OP and of course we's talking about we's because he can't help himself. But this is a clip from the beginning of the show where it's our buddy from Rochester, Brotherways. OP will take regular people off the street. That's the way I love to do it. I get yelled at at my radio station for booking people that aren't famous
Starting point is 00:28:25 I love taking any but whoever you are. I'm listening to come on because that's how hope he does and it's funny Nope That's the selling point This is what I like to do. I had to fucking anyone up the street, which we's does I was there when it happened. He just started fucking talking to some homeless guy, but it's not funny or interesting. And he's like, that's what Opie does. It's like, well, first off, not to get on this bandwagon, but Howard started kind of invented this with a whack pack where he would just bring on these crazy people. But Howard was odd to something. He's like, oh, this guy's like semi retarded. We should bring him on to the show. This is funny. Whereas Obi just goes, Oh, this is my buddy.
Starting point is 00:29:09 His kid plays with my kid. Let's just have him on the show. And then guess what happens? A boring conversation ensues. No shit. Hope he's the kind of person who like if I bumped into him at a concert or something, I just walked to the other side of the arena. Yeah. He just is someone you want to get away from. Yeah, I don't like him. I don't think he's funny. So the guy, not Ben, who's the guy? Matt owns the bar. Yes. Matt is the bar owner at Gephard's.
Starting point is 00:29:37 That's too many people, remember? And they're talking to Matt for a while. Isn't it weird that every week I learn about all these fucking people I don't care about and have to explain this? I don't know how you do this every week. It's getting old. I was really irritated this week because of this. This is a tough podcast to listen to.
Starting point is 00:29:55 This one's a tough one. It's hard because I just kept- I've had a lot of hatred for opies wasted a lot of my life. I've kept phasing out of it though. I could bear- I mean, I physically had my ear to the speaker and I still couldn't listen to it because I kept spacing out and not listening to it and thinking of something else. So this is the guy Matt and they're trying to explain that, dude, it doesn't matter if you're on the show or you just want to come up and grab a mic.
Starting point is 00:30:21 Everyone can be entertaining. So Matt comes out with a zinger that gets way too much play. We don't know what to do anymore. Put the girls in charge man. Bring Max Sadie Hawkins back. Permanently. That was no question we know. She started it. Everything's fine. That'll help the me too. Do the hashtag ask me too. This is why I hate Vic Henley. Regular people are funny. Regular people can be funny too. Vic, you're a fucking nobody. Who are you to call someone a regular person? Fuck you! Vic Henley is... As I mentioned, doesn't even have a Wikipedia page! I don't know any comedian that doesn't have a fucking wiki entry!
Starting point is 00:31:13 This guy's a nobody, and he's applauding this guy for his hashtag AskMeToo joke! Yeah. Um... I'm sorry, I'm gonna keep going here. Please do. I have very little to contribute. I just didn't know what to do I didn't know what to do about it. I didn't know what not to do. This is my problem. I Listened to this and I hated everything I heard and it took me hours To clip from this because everything was clippable. I'm like, oh need to talk about this Do you think about this? Here is after that brilliant joke from Matt. They're like, oh, we got to talk to this guy some more. So what do you talk about with a bar owner in Manhattan?
Starting point is 00:31:50 What would be an amazing conversation to have with him? Oh, I know. What did this place used to be? What was it before you had it? It was nothing for two years before that. It was it literally sat here for steakhouse. It sat here for two years. How'd that not go? Boring. Who could possibly give a fuck? We're in a place that I don't care about. And then I'm gonna find out what it used to be before it was the place I don't care about.
Starting point is 00:32:15 Wow. Why would I possibly give a flying fuck about what this place used to be? Are they trying to fill time? It's a podcast. You don't have to fill time. That's the thing. It can be 30 minutes. That made me so angry. I said, why is this so long? Are they trying to fill time? It's a podcast! You don't have to fill time! That's the thing.
Starting point is 00:32:25 It can be 30 minutes! That made me so angry. I said, why is it so long? He should have, well he should have zero minutes, but it could be 30 minutes. This is the problem with radio guys. 45 minutes? Opie's going back to time and weather, time and traffic time, weather. Like he's still fucking hitting those beats that don't need to be hit anymore. Oh yeah, it's when I remind you guys we're at Gephard's on 72nd.
Starting point is 00:32:46 Dude, stop it. Stop it. No, you've already said where you are. You shouldn't be there. It's obnoxious. Here's a clip that I call, uh, Opie is boring, but he also lacks self-confidence and rightfully self. Listen to him at the end, where all of a sudden, he just loses all of his self-confidence.
Starting point is 00:33:06 It has to try to get everyone to support what he's saying. I was talking about those old school beers with Carl last week, and it just brings you back to being a kid when you drink a Schlitz or a PBR, right? It brings you back to being a kid, you know? And then no one's like nodding their head. He's like, right? And I love that Opie has surrounded himself with yes, man.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Uh-huh. Opie needs to have this reassurance all the time that he's funny and that he's interesting. He'll tell jokes that are not funny that people laugh at. Here's an example. And what I love about this is that Opie's the one laughing the hardest at it. Martin Luther King, okay.
Starting point is 00:33:48 Yeah, it's the blackest name of a black school. And then there's the, there's the McDonald's. When you're, when it comes out. When yours white as me, walking past that McDonald's is scary. Yeah. How in Quinn does that have a joke about getting on a subway? Everything about that makes me cringe. So here is an example of Opie telling a joke that people don't over the top laugh at.
Starting point is 00:34:12 And he gets very uncomfortable about it. He has to address it. Oh, OK. Oh, what's his name? Who died? The preacher. Who flew through the windshield. We don't see it.
Starting point is 00:34:22 Oh, Pitchy. I was pretty crazy. God damn it. I'm just blashing out of there. OP is so used to everyone fake laughing all the time. He goes, Gretchen, and then I don't know if he was actually trying to make a joke. So then he like fake laughed, and then nobody else did. And he goes, that bombed. I think maybe he thought he had the right answer, and then retented it with a joke, and he goes, that bombed. I think maybe he thought he had the right answer and then retended it with a joke
Starting point is 00:34:47 and then acknowledged that it bombed. I think you're giving him way too much credit. Can I just real quick play a quick compilation I put together? This is OP laughing. This show is so fucking fake. It's a lot of uncomfortable laughter all the time. You're laughing. It's a lot of uncomfortable laughter all the time.
Starting point is 00:35:07 You're laughing. Sometimes. Okay. Like kids? Collin Quinn used to have a joke. Like a holler. Yeah. No, you did not. No, you did not job like a pop. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:26 No, you did not. No, you did not get a Mexican Christmas. Say by the bell had more realistic laughing on it. Oh, that's a great laugh track. Then this show. It's so over the top fake. And the thing that I've learned that I hate about opi and I did. I did come to this conclusion listening to this show, spending a few hours listening to OPI again, it's been a while, is he's constantly selling.
Starting point is 00:35:51 Yeah. There was even another episode of this that I listened to where it's just him talking. I think you and I were actually listening to this in the car. It's just him talking before he gets anyone else on the show. And he goes, yeah, man, like, I'm getting tons of great feedback on the podcast. And Westwood One is loving what we're doing. He used to talk about that all the time. It's serious.
Starting point is 00:36:12 Yeah man, the brass here, they love what we're doing, getting lots of great feedback. He's constantly selling everything. This place is amazing. We're at this beer bar. This place is so great. This guy is hilarious. We're having so much fun great. This guy is hilarious. We're having so much fun. Everything he says is fake.
Starting point is 00:36:28 Except for this time he was sitting in his car with a microphone. Correct. But he's always trying to sell me something. And I don't believe him. No, and you shouldn't... I don't think anything is sincere or honest. Well, he isn't because he's gotten caught in many lies before. Correct. Correct. Over his career.
Starting point is 00:36:45 That actually gets me into the Kurt Schilling story if we can do that. Before I do that, let me just set it up real quick. You gonna take a commercial break? Yeah. Let's pay some bills. Let's set this up. There's the guy Matt who owns the bar. And then there's this guy Ben who's Opie's buddy because their kids play together. They're both from Phoenix.
Starting point is 00:37:11 Okay. So they acknowledge this fact is the one guy's wearing like a diamond bag's hat or something. And they start talking about Arizona. And Opie has nothing to contribute but has to be part of the conversation because it's Opie radio. So he drops this in Arizona rules, man These guys are talking about specific places and things that they've done and it'll be just Arizona rules, man It's a whole fucking state in the desert. What do you mean Arizona? Rules man, can you elaborate on that? What are you talking about?
Starting point is 00:37:43 I don't know. I don't know either. So they talk about the fact that the Diamondbacks started in 98. They had this AAA baseball team that was very well attended. And because of that, they got a Major League Baseball team. So, OP has to start talking about AAA baseball. And again, it's about this selling. He has to sell everything to the point where it's just unrealistic. Right. When I lived in Rochester, we did AAA up there and they killed it also. That's right. In a lot of ways.
Starting point is 00:38:13 I think they killed it also. AAA ball was so much fun to watch. It's like so much fun. It's like so much fun. Jen, you and I have been to dozens of AAA baseball games here in Rochester. Have you ever described it to a friend as, it's so much fun to watch, it's so much fun. I never have, in fact, I don't watch the game most of the time.
Starting point is 00:38:32 No, it's not that much fun to watch. No, it's not. This shortstop makes an error every third play. It's not that much fun to watch, but it's so much fun. OBS has to just sell everything. So here is him talking about Kurt Schilling used to be a Rochester Red Wing for one season. And at that time, OP was living in Rochester.
Starting point is 00:38:51 So of course, OP being this dynamite personality that he is, you not charismatic. OP befriends this young Kurt Schilling who then goes on to star him in World Series wins. But this is the setup to this. That's where I met Kurt Schilling, who then goes on to start him in World Series wins. But this is the setup to this. That's where I met Kurt Schilling. So, oh yeah. Kurt Schilling is a young gun.
Starting point is 00:39:11 I knew Kurt when he was 20, 21 years old playing for the Rochester Red Wings and back then they already knew this guy was going to be one of the best. Okay. So that's him. He met Kurt Schilling and now he has to set up that he's going to tell a story. Can I tell a quick Kurt Schilling story? So fast forward. Can you?
Starting point is 00:39:29 I doubt it. I doubt you could tell a quick Kurt Schilling story and you know that somebody is terrible storytelling when they have to use this phrase. Long story short, it's spring training. Who walks in? Kurt Schilling and the entire team. He's got two big bows on his arms. All the strippers in this joint knew him, right?
Starting point is 00:39:48 Okay, what he's talking about here is now he's in Buffalo. Couple of years later, he's doing radio in Buffalo, he's doing overnights. He goes out with his programming manager, whoever it is. They go to a strip club. And if you heard what he just said there, he goes, fast forward a couple of years, it's spring training. Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:10 I know you don't know it's not about baseball, but pictures and catchers report to spring training before the rest of the team. They report in February. Okay. Do you know where they report to? I'll give you a hint. Not fucking Buffalo, New York. Buffalo, New York in February. It's fucking cold It's impossible to play baseball when it's snowing sideways
Starting point is 00:40:29 Okay, so he's talking about the fact that it's spring training Kurt Schilling and the whole team shows up What team spring training goes on down in the fucking south and in the southwest There's no such thing as a league that's going on in Buffalo, New York So he's fucking lying. And this is the thing about OP is that he's always lying. And I grabbed this ISO that is so funny. Is that a real story? Is that a real story?
Starting point is 00:40:56 Opie, because I highly fucking doubt it. So all right, we know these lying because he says I'm in Buffalo. I'm in a strip club. Kurt Schilling walks in with the whole team during spring training. Okay. Can't possibly be true. Right. So now this is the exciting conclusion. Opie's saying how he's broke, he's only making a little bit of money back then and they're in the strip club and he's stressed out, doesn't have any money. But thank God, Kurt Schilling
Starting point is 00:41:19 is there and of course they're best buds. And I Ken I know that guy he goes yeah, right? So I kind of wave and Kurt loses his mind Yeah, a couple years at this point and then all sudden everything is on me So So we're talking about a 23 25 year old Opie who's doing overnight in Buffalo. He's not Opie from Opie and Anthem. He hasn't met Anthony Kumiya yet, who's the talent behind Opie and Anthem. He doesn't know Jim Norton, who's one of the funniest stand-ups to ever live. He's just Opie.
Starting point is 00:42:01 He's in a strip cub in Buffalo. Kurt Schilling walks in and goes, holy fucking shit, Opie, right? He's in a strip cub and buffalo Kurt Schilling walks in and goes, Holy fucking shit. Opie is here. Kurt Schilling is freaking out that Opie is there. Does that sound like it's possibly true? No. And then because Opie has to ruin every single bit, and it must be tough if you're lying through your teeth about shit, it's hard to keep your head straight on how you should be reacting to things. But you heard at the end there, Kurt Schilling says, the night's on me. Right. Whatever you guys want to do. So immediately, the comedians in the room start fantasizing on,
Starting point is 00:42:35 oh, what would you do with unlimited money in a strip club? And they go right to this, this thing where it's over the top. Like I'd be drowning strippers and straight. Like, yeah, it's like this weird, okay, whatever. They're going, they're going for the shock humor. I'm fine with it. But OPI, this is a glimpse into the psyche of OPI. He has to, he's never in on the gag. He never gets it.
Starting point is 00:42:55 He always ruins the bit. Yeah. I would have killed three strippers in that. I would have been drowned in this. There's something. It's all current. Crazy. He said everything on him. Lapdance is everything. Chokeouts.
Starting point is 00:43:10 That's amazing. So they're saying I would have been drowning strippers. It's on him. And hope he goes everything lapdances. It's like, dude, you're so far behind this conversation. And even after he said that, they kindly asked to say, yeah, strang's like, dude, you're so far behind this conversation. And even after he said that, Vic Hennley has to say, yeah, strangling like, like, oh, come on, we're way past lap
Starting point is 00:43:32 dances at this point. We're trying to make this funny. Your fake story. We're trying to make it interesting. But that was what happened when he was on opening day two. He was a joke killer. He killed every joke. He is a bit ruiner. So then he talks about how he was buddies with Curt Schilling. So then Vic has to get into this and talk about how he was buddies with the big unit. And it's very telling because I guess Vic used to hang with Jeff Foxworthy back in the day. Okay.
Starting point is 00:44:04 And so Randy Johnson befriended these guys and he says this. We brought him out in Moises Allew. We brought him all out to the comedy club. We hung out with all of them and they always remember Foxworthy. They fucking forgot me instantly. Big surprise. Charad, uncomfortable laughter. This show has so much uncomfortable laughter to it.
Starting point is 00:44:26 Well, there's no real laughter. No. No. There's no real laughter to be had. This guy, Vic Henley, he talks about people he used to hang out with. I guess he used to live with David Spade. Oh, did he? I missed that.
Starting point is 00:44:39 Okay. Him and Spade are from Arizona. They moved to New York together to do comedy so he starts talking about this thing that David Spade did and The punchline to a story is David Spade's joke Okay And of course they all go nuts over it and carry on and then and then but there's something going on here I want I want to see if you hear this. It's a doll Dan You are by yourself. It's a doll, Dan. You are by yourself.
Starting point is 00:45:06 It's a fucking doll, Dan. Did you hear that laughter at the end? A little. That's what Chip Chippersen does. Is he? Oh. Is that why he does that laugh? Oh my god!
Starting point is 00:45:21 That's why he does a. Ah! Maybe it's real. This is the one, this is the type of laughter that's going on at this show for real. He does that as a goof. Good slew thing. I wouldn't have picked up on that at all, but you're right. And then Vic Henley, and this is the Vic Henley joke, quote unquote,
Starting point is 00:45:40 listen to how he tags his joke with the same joke. And I bring up, I keep doing these air quotes to you about comedians because this is not how you perform comedy. Voided. Anyone in this area knows- My favorite one. It looked like the first season of 106 and Park. I call it Black Donalds. It's my favorite McDonalds in the city, it's Black Donalds.
Starting point is 00:46:03 Ronnie Donnell. Ronnie Donnell. Ronnie Donnell. So that was going back to OPI talking about that McDonalds. There's my favorite McDonald's So that was going back to opie talking about that McDonald's these scared out because there's black people there and Vicks says I call it black Donald's all right. Yeah, it gets a one response and then he goes. Yeah, I got black Donald's That's not a tag to your joke asshole. That's the joke. You already told it. No one cared about right black Donald's is not a funny That's the joke you already told that no one cared about. Right. Black Dottles is not a funny joke, and you suck. Let's talk about Sharad's mom. Also, not a funny person.
Starting point is 00:46:31 No, he's not funny. Not funny at all. Let's listen to Sharad's joke. Tim Sabian comes on. Right, surprise, surprise. Yep. Tim Sabian, who's the head of Westwood One, who used to be at Sirius and before that worked for other radio stations.
Starting point is 00:46:47 Yeah, he's like an executive guy, multimillionaire and the all. He's the one who brought Opie over because Tim Sabing is also fucking out of it. Doesn't understand how podcasting works at all. He just thinks like, oh, just give Opie a microphone and let his friends come over and we'll have a great show. Wrong. That would be wrong. So here is a charades joke. Where are you from, Tim? You're from New York? Originally from Minneapolis. over and we'll have a great show. Wrong, that would be wrong. So here is a charades joke. Where are you from, Tim? You're from New York? I'm originally from Minneapolis.
Starting point is 00:47:08 Minneapolis? Yeah. What are you, Prince? Exactly, Prince. You're up with Prince. Yeah, exactly. That's your fucking joke? I'm from Minneapolis.
Starting point is 00:47:15 What are you, Prince? I know. It's like, well, I mean, Prince was from Minneapolis, but is that, no, I'm not Prince. I'm a white guy. Prince is the only one who's ever lived in Minneapolis, didn't you know? No, I'm not Prince. I'm a white guy. Prince is the only one who's ever lived in Minneapolis, didn't you know? Right. Correct. It's population one now zero. Correct. What the fuck kind of joke is that? I do have this dumb joke gets laughter for fucking days. And this is one of the things on the show.
Starting point is 00:47:44 Someone says a joke that's maybe a three or four and they just keep harping it until fake this is. I make split so i wrote i'll eat it to sleep because i can't find the hard times it good. Oh, hey, that's how I take a nap. And her too. Yeah, when you're that one, you said. Do you hear that? Yes, this dude is fucking corny. He talks about, oh, I, I, I because Tim Savings invested in all these marijuana companies and they're talking about marijuana as if they're 16
Starting point is 00:48:24 year olds, oh, yes, you want to break out. If you want marijuana, just bring it with you. That's what adults do. It's not a big deal. But then he goes, Oh, well, yeah, I eat it to sleep. You talk about weed or pussy. And these guys are rough and laughter. Again, these are adults near the end of their lives, and this is what they're laughing about. That was pretty nauseating, actually. Pretty nauseating. I got a bunch more clips I have to get through here. I just want to talk about OPI's insecurity real quick. Did I play this track yet? Well, I was over in their house, you know, pretty much. But where you live, close. We live on the same block. Same block. But me and Tony and mine. You're bored?
Starting point is 00:49:06 Nice. Get another beer? Alright. This is after these guys have been rambling on name dropping, talking about, oh, he's hanging out with this guy and that guy. They're talking about the 80s. They're talking about comedians who were popular in the 80s. Oh, yeah, me and Dennis.
Starting point is 00:49:20 This has been going on for 15, 20 minutes. And then the guy who they brought up who's like, Opie's buddy takes his headphones off and walks away. And I was like, whoa, what are you bored? It's like, yes, everyone is bored. Every single person involved in this is bored out of their fucking minds, Opie. You're a boring person.
Starting point is 00:49:41 You have nothing to say. Who wouldn't be bored? I put together a name drop compilation. Okay. Because do you remember this part of the show where for some reason all they could talk about were all the famous people who have shut them out of their lives.
Starting point is 00:49:58 And it's funny because you think about OPI and again for people who don't know the backstory on this, OPI at a certain point was on top of his game. He was interviewing the biggest celebrities. Sure. They had huge guests on their show. The fact that he's fallen down and it seems like we're being harsh. I might start just doing the Opie radio.
Starting point is 00:50:16 This show might turn into just Opie radio all the time. I could rip on Opie for the rest of my life. And that would be fun to do because this guy thought he was this huge star. Like he's always interviewing the rock and he's got all these people on the show. And now he's talking to Vic Henley and Sherrod Small and a fucking bar. And put it on a fucking podcast.
Starting point is 00:50:36 And this is so pathetic. This is the name drop compilation. I met Kurt Shillett. Me, him and Weez would hang out. Randy Johnson, buddy, dealt with Fox W they when he was a rookie with the expo We brought him out Moses that loom and I was hanging out with Jim Norton Barry Bond I'm a Kobe that's a me one time Kobe Bryant. Yeah same spring training when your Hank Aaron way I pulled this what you did with Kobe with the rock
Starting point is 00:51:00 What happened rock the rock Dwayne Johnson Coco beware? One time I saw the junkyard dog. With who? With Spade. With your crew. I was four. David Spade was the man. So who was your crew in New York? You mean, well, Colin and Sandler and Chris is...
Starting point is 00:51:13 You knew Sandler and Chris Rock. Me, you, Ray Romano. Yeah. Atels like 25. Yeah, I remember when Colin used to heat a tail. Me and Tony, we saw it together. Tony Rock. And then a whole bunch of Rachel was my roommate, Rachel Feinstein.
Starting point is 00:51:25 Sean Feld and Dennis Miller who was doing weekend update at the time. Mario Jordan! Mario was just like a brother to me, man. And we were running it. So what's the connection with Chris Rock? You guys all live together? Me and Tony, Chrissy Bryan.
Starting point is 00:51:37 It's like Bobcat and both wait. Kenison was the funniest dude. Now, Bill Hicks was part of that crew. Jimmy Schubert was part of that. Can you believe that? All they did was talk about people who were way more famous and interesting than anyone who's on this show. And most of their stories was, yeah, those guys didn't like me.
Starting point is 00:51:54 And I'm not even joking. That was most of their stories. Some of these guys, like, yeah, I used to hang out with Spade. I guarantee David Spade has nothing to do with Vic Henley these days. Oh, I'm certainly not. But they used to, oh, yeah, I used to know this guy and that guy. And most of their stories was, yeah, he blew certainly not. But they used to, oh yeah, I used to know this guy and that guy. And most of the stories was, yeah, he blew me off. This guy didn't care about my comedy.
Starting point is 00:52:08 He didn't think I was very funny. Yeah, Seinfeld used to, didn't give me the time of day. He's like, well, yeah, that makes perfect sense. You guys are not only uninteresting, you're kind of assholes, too. Yeah. And you would think if they're going to have these stories about famous people that they used to know and hang out with there'd be enlightening conversation No, listen to this tidbit. I've known you a long time. These are cool stories man. Yeah, to know Chris Rock was really into kinesin
Starting point is 00:52:41 Wait Chris Rock was into comedy student. Wait, Chris Rock was in the comedy? What? I look dumb. Did you know that, Jen? Did you know that Chris Rock was a student of comedy? I never would have guessed. Oh my God. So obvious. Getting back to our discussion about Chip Chippersen. Okay. Finally something I want to talk about. Sorry. So Chip Chippersen, Jim Norton's character that is a guy who is woefully unfunny. I know, but he's so great. One of the things that Chip likes to do is repeat jokes that somebody else tells. Right.
Starting point is 00:53:18 That's one of his go-to things. That is. If someone tells a joke and the chip guy, he'll tell the joke. Yeah. Because he got to laugh and he has to have the attention. Here's a perfect example of that. How many languages does your daughter speak? She cries and she speaks English.
Starting point is 00:53:32 The perfect woman already. The perfect woman already. The perfect woman. Oh, she cries and speaks English. That was sort of our answer. We're like... All right. So this guy, Ben, who's Opie's buddy, how many languages does your daughter speak?
Starting point is 00:53:49 She cries and speaks English. And Vic is like, oh, she cries and speaks English. Like, yeah, we heard it. We heard it. He's dissecting that joke. Is he? Or is he just repeating it? He's trying to just make your wish come true.
Starting point is 00:54:01 So then they go on and they talk for a while, and I'm not joking, Jen. This is a minute later. Vic Henley finally figures out what his tag is to this joke and he just blurts this out out of context. This is amazing today. What? What the kid be a kid? That kid's gonna hate his parents when he gets older.
Starting point is 00:54:17 Pig Latin and he monics. That's what we're teaching. I mean, it's really... He does the chip laugh again. Ugh. But did you hear that part? I mean, it's really... He does the chip laugh again. Ugh. Ugh. That's what we're teaching. I mean, it's really...
Starting point is 00:54:25 He does the chip laugh again. But did you hear that part where the guy says, oh, she knows English and crying. Okay, those are the two languages she knows. And then they go on and they're like, yeah, what about these parents who teach their kids Chinese and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And then the guy goes, piglet in robotics. Like he was trying to formulate what's my my joke gonna be for so fucking long? It's a dude. You're so late to the party on this
Starting point is 00:54:48 Please do not shout that out and what I used to love about opiate Anthony and why that show was good is if somebody came out With a fucking terrible joke they would immediately address it. Oh sure, you know, there wasn't this thing where is everyone's like? Oh, yeah, let's all fake laugh at that. No, you would admit that you're like, whoa, whoa, whoa. Why did you say that? That was a while ago. Why are we still laughing at this? Oh, I know. You get called out.
Starting point is 00:55:12 It's so great. Oh, it was so great. You'd have things like this. That's the other thing. There's no production on this show whatsoever. I know. Why doesn't he have a sound board? He just sets up.
Starting point is 00:55:23 Oh, that would be amazing, too. He just sets up in this show whatsoever. I know. I doesn't have a soundboard. He just sets up. That would be amazing too. He just sets up in this fucking bar, this unassuming bar where these people are just trying to hang out and enjoy their day and they're taking over this corner and just making noise for no fucking good reason. They have no production and ogling strangers on the street. Right. And being wildly rude and inappropriate to young ladies who they're all old enough to be the parents of. I know, yeah. It's ridiculous. Tasty.
Starting point is 00:55:52 Let's talk about Opie and other fake story. He has to go back to when he was a cool frat guy. I don't believe this at all. And Opie has these tells, if you ever play poker, you can tell when someone's bluffing because they do things that are not the way they would naturally do them Listen to how he tells the story. I was I was a young kid from a fraternity Had a sorority that was close to us. So we were always throwing these bangin fucking parties in Rochester Bangin parties in Rochester. No, no, but he didn't say we were throwing banging parties in Rochester
Starting point is 00:56:22 He goes these bangin fucking parties at Rochester. That is such a tell. That's such a fucking lie. Well, it is. Because didn't you go to school in like Geneseo? Geneseo. It's not Rochester. It's not Rochester.
Starting point is 00:56:35 It's a fucking drive. It's in the middle of nowhere. I mean, maybe they do a banging fucking parties, but. Is that a real story? This is a ISO that I think is perfect for our buddy, the Opster. Explain a joke. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:56:52 Oh, that summarizes him. That does. All right. So this is Tim Sabian. He's there hanging out. He's the head of Westwood One who hired Opie. I don't know what they're paying him, but they see Tim and they're like, Hey, there's Tim Sabian. That's Tim Sabian from Westwood One and Robert. All right. They haven't laughed once.
Starting point is 00:57:15 Yeah. Do you know why Opie? There have been no laughs. What do you mean? I'm not. He's watching these guys who are hanging out next to them. They're probably just straight faced. Like, what did we do?
Starting point is 00:57:27 Why did we hire this guy? Yeah, why did we mess in this person again? Yes. There's no after at all. So then Tim, remember, OPI ten months ago was being paid millions of dollars. For a while, his channel on Serious XM was called OPRADIO. Yeah. 30 million subscribers to Serious.
Starting point is 00:57:47 A channel was named after this guy. Yep. They then changed it to Faction, put him in the afternoons, pushed him off to obscurity, and now here he is on this fucking podcast that only you and I have listened to. Yeah. And a couple guys at the subreddit who have broken the show down pretty well. But nobody's listening to this show.
Starting point is 00:58:04 And Tim Sabian hops up, grabs the mic, and again, it's just selling, selling, selling, selling. If you're good at what you do, you don't have to sell it. Right. We'll just be attracted to it naturally. So how great is this podcasting? The fact is you don't have to sit in a stale old studio every single day. You get out and about. You look like you're having fun for the first time in a long time. Yeah. Yeah. It's how great is this podcasting? You don't have a studio. You're in some fucking random bar with a mixing board on the computer and microphones that barely work with some random. Nobody's having a conversation about tasteies walking across the street. How great is this? It's terrible, Tim.
Starting point is 00:58:45 It's fucking garbage. They used to have A or B-list celebrities out in their show. They used to have hilarious state of comedians drop in and millions of people listening all contributing to the show and now it's nothing. Well, Opie has gone from having everything going on almost a rival of Howard Stern is the biggest of all time Shockjack morning Jack show nationally
Starting point is 00:59:10 He was close to that point and now he's doing this garbage podcast with fucking idiots who suck Yeah, I guess that sucks it up. Yep You pretty much got you hit the nail on the head honestly I would say the vanished is a funnier show than OP Radio. The podcast that shall remain nameless. This show is less comfortable than a date with Bill Cosby. Ugh. Also, somehow it's less funny than Bill Cosby, if that's possible.
Starting point is 00:59:38 All right. What else did I want to talk about? I think I hit all the things I wanted to hit. Do you have some more clips you want to play here? I have one more clip which I just think you said earlier it's very telling. This is what I thought was very telling. I got really crappy equipment if you haven't figured it out yet. I don't know where we are, what's going on. Alright I think I just gave you volume to try that. Alright. It's kind of pathetic because you know where we were with our careers. You're laughing.
Starting point is 01:00:05 Look, I had a whole bat. I saw the hand truck and then I saw the video where the one fell in the puddle. You dropped that in the puddle. Just in case you thought that was a bit. No, it wasn't a bit. No, it's not a bit. I knew it.
Starting point is 01:00:17 And then I had to figure out how to set this whole thing up to continue my radio career. I recognized your sadness as real. You're not charismatic. Well, so first of all, after that many years of broadcasting, shouldn't he know how to set that stuff up? Yes. I know how to set that stuff up. I know. And I've never had a job in there. I gotta figure out how to set this stuff up. Yeah. You plug in a microphone and you get your
Starting point is 01:00:39 levels and you. Yeah. That's broadcasting equipment. That's what you've been doing. Should be pretty, pretty easy. For decades. That was the thing that everyone who was a opie supporter gave him credit for like he was running the show. Like well he doesn't have good contributions he can't talk but he's the one who's running the board and he's the one who's running the whole thing. So he's not even good at that. No and I don't understand well I've always hoped there's things I I mean, I'd never liked Opie. He was never I've never been a fan of his even when he was on Opie and Anthony. I liked Anthony didn't like Opie. He's I thought he had to have some sort of talent to get him to that point.
Starting point is 01:01:16 Right. I just think he's like the luckiest asshole that's ever lived because I don't think he does have any talent. He is so lucky that Anthony Cumia was listening to his show and sent in a parody song that him and his brother Joe did. Yeah. And Obi-Wan went, oh, these guys are funny. I'll have them on my show. Yeah. That was the best thing that ever happened to Obi-Wan.
Starting point is 01:01:35 Yep. And now, because he doesn't attract talent. No, he repels talent. He repels talent. So he doesn't have anyone good. The guy he looks up to is Brother Weas. Brother Weas is the worst. Oh, I agree with you.
Starting point is 01:01:56 I too have been on that show. Which doesn't say much for Weas. Because I am a nobody. Well Weas even says, I have anyone off the street, even Jen from the Jiggles department, brah. And it was just so hacky and terrible. The fact that you look up to Brother Weez and you learned how to do radio from him tells me all I need to know.
Starting point is 01:02:16 You're not gonna be good at radio. Brother Weez is a hack. Yeah. Not interesting, not funny. I don't care for him. I don't know. I think we've covered it all. Yeah. I'm exhausted.
Starting point is 01:02:29 You and me both. It's been a long week of listening to OPI Radio. I never listened to his show after... I shouldn't say that. After Anthony left, I listened for a little while with him and Jim. And then that show got terrible really quick and Jim and and opi started hating each other So then opi started bringing on these other guess you're odd small and Vic Henley and this guy Carl who we didn't get to hear on this
Starting point is 01:02:56 show, thank God, but So eventually I just stopped listening and then he went to afternoons. I never listen I I would read on the subreddit about this cast the characters up I had no idea how unfunny and how uninteresting these people really were yeah and listening to the show was eye-opening, but it's not even just background noise like uninteresting It's like Offensive because it's loud and it's irritating to hear right And I don't want to hear what they're saying either. I don't hear anything about it.
Starting point is 01:03:27 Most of the show is just… Do you imagine, do you imagine if we did a show where we just thought everything we said was so hilarious that everyone was just cracking up the entire fucking time? And what's crazy to me is that you would think a guy like Opie over 20 years in radio, pinnacle of success on Sirius XM broadcast all over the US and Canada would be able to hop into a podcast situation and crush it, right? You're competing as people who have never done podcasting. Even the celebrities who have podcasts have no business doing podcasting.
Starting point is 01:04:04 They don't know how to run a show. And this was so sad about this is that the one thing you should do is have segments and bits and have an idea of how to run a show. Instead, this fucking retard does the one thing that I always rail against all these podcasters about. There's no format. There's no fucking format. Why wouldn't you just, he's been off for 10 months? He could have been fucking writing down formats and figuring out a way to put together an interesting show They have some flow to it something that's interesting for people. Maybe connects with a certain audience Who's listening to this? Well, maybe he's connecting with an audience, but I am not audience
Starting point is 01:04:39 I don't think so. I am that audience. I am the exact target eyes for this. I loved Howard, Opian Anthony I listen to all these shows. I'm the exact person eyes for this. I loved Howard, open Anthony. I listen to all these shows. I'm the exact person they should be talking to, and I can't stand this shit. It's terrible. I'm with you. All right. Hear that? That's the sound of waves crashing on a beach. And that, that's the sound of ice clinking in your favorite drink.

I don't want to talk about this anymore. That was great. Since we featured the first review of the great Greg Opie Hughes, it only seemed fitting to give Stuttering John Melinda as the same star treatment. This occasion was so monumental that it summoned former cohost of Who Are These Podcasts. Kevin, enjoy a look back at episode 109, The Stuttering John Podcast. This is the host of Who Are These Podcasts? Carl
Starting point is 01:06:22 for the record. Today we'll be reviewing a podcast called the Stuttering John Podcast. This was a suggestion from multiple listeners who asked us to review this show. Kevin and I have both listened to it. Separately, we have not discussed it beforehand. So without further ado, let's get into it. Stuttering John Show, what'd you think, Kevin? Well, you know, Stuttering John's show. What'd you think, Kevin?
Starting point is 01:06:45 Well, you know, Stuttering John is a guy I haven't really thought about in a lot of years. Right. Being a long-stern show listener, he left a long time ago and never really quite paid attention to what he was doing. But this show in a nutshell is just him. It's just bad feelings from him, like for whatever, an hour and a half. All right. I'm just him. It's just bad, bad feelings from him, like for whatever an hour and a half. All right, I'm just him. I'm going to set this up. I want to, if there's people out there who don't know why Stuttering John is a thing, I'm just going to go real quick through what that is starting off with classic Stuttering John. When he was on the Howard
Starting point is 01:07:21 Stern show, he was the guy who they would send off to the red carpet events and different things to interview celebrities and ask ridiculous questions. One of my favorite moments of all time is this. Here's the setup. I have maybe the greatest piece of tape you'll ever hear. Oh, are we talking about the Ringo star press conference? Did you hear any of it? No, I've only heard what they had on the news It was a huge press conference yesterday for Ringo star and Joe Walsh and stuff and Stutter and John I heard a Majority of the press conference is Stutter and John asked two questions and it was real funny Uh-huh, and I went home and I didn't know and none of us knew but we rolled tape on it anyway
Starting point is 01:08:03 John got to a third question. All right. So that sounds like shit, but they're talking about the fact that he was at the Ringelstar press conference. This has to be in the late eighties, early nineties. Yeah, that would be my guess. Yeah. So this is when Stuttering John was full time with Howard Stern. You hear Jackie laughing and this is this is going old school.
Starting point is 01:08:26 This is his greatest accomplishment, Suttering Johns greatest accomplishment of all time talking to Ringo Steyer. Yeah, I mean, it's kind of a fun question. What did you do with the money? What money? The money your mom gave you to sing and listen. Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh, this is the worst thing ever!
Starting point is 01:08:50 Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!
Starting point is 01:08:58 Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! So that's what Stuttering John was known for. He would go out and ask ridiculous questions. He'd go up to celebrities and say, who are you and why are you famous?
Starting point is 01:09:08 Which pisses people off to no end when you're a celebrity. Eventually though, people would recognize him. They'd know it was Stuttering John from Howard Stern and he wasn't able to get into these events. They wouldn't accept his press credentials. So he just became a bit character on the show that really didn't have a role on the show for Howard Stern, other than he was just kind of a guy in the back office who would rip on Gary or, you know,
Starting point is 01:09:33 just bring shit up that he heard from Scott the engineer and come into the studio and mix things up. And then, you know, obviously he was fodder for all of the people on the show, but he didn't really have anything going on. We should probably qualify it that he used to stutter. That was like... Well, you heard in that clip. Yes, he was definitely a nervous Nelly. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:09:54 He was not comfortable talking to celebrities and asking them ridiculous questions. He stayed around on Howard Stern's show for a while and then eventually he got his big break quote unquote, Jay Leno hired him to be the announcer for the Tonight Show. I have just some quick clips just to bring us back. He did audition tapes using Scott the engineer Howard Stern. So of course they saved these tapes to play them later on the show. And this is the stern cast going back and listening to this guy's audition tapes to be an announcer for the Tonight Show. I mean, that's a that's a ridiculous job for a stutterer. But he definitely did not deserve it. Listen to this. It's the Tonight Show with Jay Leno featuring Kevin Eubanks and the Tonight Show band and me I'm stuttering John tonight Jay welcomes Pamela Anderson Harrison Ford the music of stained and I
Starting point is 01:10:53 Didn't want to do the same that too over the top So this is him auditioning for this job with Jay let oh you heard him pronounce Pamela Anderson's name wrong They keep playing that part over and over again and already just losing his shit tonight Jay welcomes Pamela Anderson Harrison Ford every time the music of stained and Give me a band Scott. Yeah, I already did Simon got a punk old Yeah, I already did Simon and Galpunkel. You can't think of a band? You can't think of a band. So my favorite clip from when they were goofing on his auditions is when he tries to say
Starting point is 01:11:33 Nicholas Cage. Do you remember this, Kevin? I do. Okay. One more clip and then we'll get into his podcast. And me, I'm Stuttering John. Tonight, Jay welcomes Nicholas K. Hudson and comedian Greg Gerardo and now
Starting point is 01:11:54 how did Greg Gerardo get on my show? You can't say the nigger words. You said the n-word in your tape. John I got the joke tape. That was very funny. Maybe that's what he meant by over the top. John, do you think you could say Nicholas? Nick. R. Wise. That's better.
Starting point is 01:12:18 Why don't you just go, and my tongue! Sound it out. Ne. Arr. So that's the arty era of Stern when it was good. And those guys having some fun with that. All right, so that sets it up. That's who Stuttering John is. Stuttering John went to the Tonight Show.
Starting point is 01:12:35 Jay Leno obviously is no longer on the show. The whole staff is gone. And John being a talentless hack was left with nothing to do. And now he just started a podcast where it's him talking to his iPhone for 50 minutes and that's all it is. Yeah. Oh, it's a very hard listen
Starting point is 01:12:58 because there's only what, six episodes so far? And you could tell he's learning as he goes because I was looking at there Like the web page for the show and they're all like named incorrectly This one was episode four, but there was another episode that was called episode four They have no idea what they're doing. They keep changing the name of the podcast I think it's called the Stuttering John podcast, but I don't even know Do you about do you have a clip that you want to play that maybe sums up the show for people so we can
Starting point is 01:13:28 find it. Well, you can start out. Just start out with clip one, because I this is like right off the bat. Like if you're going to broadcast or whatever, I do that in air quotes. But if you're going to talk in a microphone and make show out of it, clear your fucking throat before you do so. Welcome to the Stuttering John podcast. How are you, my friends? That's the first thing he says. You could easily go back and fix that.
Starting point is 01:13:55 Like, all right, let me start that again. It sounds like the goldfish from Peewee's Playhouse. Go for that. All right, All right. I actually had the same clip, but I go a little bit further because I wanted to point something out. Welcome to the Stuttering John podcast. How are you, my friends?
Starting point is 01:14:17 That's right. I'm trying to get on a daily schedule. Every Tuesday, I will record my podcast and hopefully you'll enjoy it. Every Tuesday he's gonna record his podcast. That's not a daily schedule, that's a weekly schedule. That's called weekly. That's called weekly every Tuesday. Holy shit. He's talking about Pamela and this big of a cage. He he talks about that's the other thing about this show, Kevin, is that the reason why Stuttering John was even poised by Howard's because he had a stutter.
Starting point is 01:14:54 Right. He doesn't stutter. So what's the fucking point? It's just a boring person talking to his iPhone. He thought he starts off the show plugging the book that he's writing, or maybe he's already written it, or I don't know. But he talks about this chapter in his book. It's about, of course, Howard Stern, because what do you want to read about from Stuttering
Starting point is 01:15:14 John, not the boring people in his life, the celebrities that he knows? And I just don't think this is a good way to promote a book that you want people to buy. I was doing my chapter on Howie single life. You know, talking about when about how we first found out about Howard's divorce and then the girls he had after their stuff in there. I probably going to have to take out because I I'm gonna get sued, but it's true So All right, I have this whole chapter about that that period of time when Howard was single Where he was having all these girls like oh, okay. I want to know who those girls were what was going on
Starting point is 01:15:56 I'll probably have to take it all out. Well, okay, and then why would I buy your book? Well, exactly So many fucking people are writing books now. Like he talks a lot about that. Like, oh, he's, everyone's got a goddamn book coming out. He's pissed at everyone. He's pissed at Artie Lang, very pissed at Artie Lang. He's pissed at Anthony Cumia.
Starting point is 01:16:17 He's been on Anthony's show a few times. He was out, I think, with Artie and Anthony. But this, I I thought was interesting He's talking about how Anthony Kumia is writing a book And he's goofing on the fact that Anthony would write a book Anthony's coming out with a book I see What is it called? You know he you know instead of Moby did just call it dick you know I Mean because and I don't even know. I don't know. Is he that popular? I mean, I'm not saying I am. But at least I was on a national show for fucking 15 years. I mean, isn't he
Starting point is 01:16:53 just a local? I mean, wasn't he a local DJ? I think he might have been on two or three markets, maybe New York and Boston, maybe Philly. I don't know. Whoa, whoa, whoa. This is Stuttering John saying Anthony Cumia isn't famous enough to write a book. It's Anthony from the opiate Anthony show. It wasn't Howard and Stuttering John. He was a fucking bit character at Howard Stern show. And he goes, Oh, was he a local DJ who's in those three markets? He was on XM radio. You fucking idiot. Serious XM. Do you know what satellite radio? You know who gets satellite radio? Everyone. Everyone is subscribed to it.
Starting point is 01:17:33 The fuck is this guy talking about? Yeah, I don't know. He does a lot of that where he kind of tries to put himself kind of above. Like he's putting down everybody and then he's like, yeah, but I love you, I love you. And it's really weird to me because at some point, and I don't know if this is just because whatever, he's from fucking Staten Island or Long Island or whatever,
Starting point is 01:17:57 but he sounds like dice. Staten Island or Long Island or one of those islands. One of those fucking islands. Jackal Island, one of those islands one of those fucking Michael Island one of those islands, right? No, but he sounds like a dice, right? You know how like he's got like and I'm trying to figure out if he's trying if he's doing it on purpose Or if that's just how he fucking talks now But kind of got so many I have a lot of clips for me. I have a lot of fucking clips you do
Starting point is 01:18:24 Yeah, he's got so to play number two. This is just him kind of got so many. I have a lot of clips for me. I have a lot of fucking clips. You do. Yeah. He's got so play number two. This is just him kind of, I don't know. Talking more about like how people are putting him down. OK, you say I'd be nothing without Howard. Now, that may be true. I mean, he gave him my start. OK, so so he's got he's got this thing he needs to prove himself. Yeah, his
Starting point is 01:18:48 entire podcast is devoted to proving his own worth, because he was hired as this dummy who stutters. That's why he's famous. And unfortunately, Jay Leno hired him for a job he wasn't qualified for. And now he's delusional. Oh Yeah, dude, he is so delusional and I I'm sure you and I have very similar clips that go through him Proving to the world that he deserves to be famous and he's very talented Yeah, yeah, so if you play my track three He does a lot of name dropping, which then he calls out other people for name dropping,
Starting point is 01:19:28 which is fucking hilarious. They don't know that I write jokes. I wrote, I've written for Jay Leno for 10 years. I've written for, you know, the, I was the head writer of the cream up dual Jabbar Rose. I have that one too. I love how far that drops off. I wrote for Jay Leno. I was a writer for the cream up to a bar rose. So that fucking that went down quick.
Starting point is 01:19:53 Yeah, I have one. I have a clip here. It's called depression scale. If you start it's number 10 and it goes through. It's really funny, like the highs to the bottom fucking lows. Oh, yeah. Because I went through depression. You know, after you come off the Stern show, I'm a slowbie getting me out of here. The Tonight show, you know, the criminal Jobarros, the Steffi Miller show, Bite Size
Starting point is 01:20:16 TV, you're on all these shows and then selling like you're not working, you get depressed. Yeah, I would bet. I would bet you fucking crash back to earth and realize you're a nobody who has no talent. Yeah, it's got to be tough. I want to sharpest drop off since fucking Bitcoin it just rated just fucking plummets. I want to go back real quick to what he was talking about how he was a joke writer he throws out there. The hero jokes for Jay
Starting point is 01:20:43 Leno and Jeff Ross and the head writer for this rose. And was there any evidence during this show when we listened to 50 minutes of him talk? Was there any evidence that he could write a joke, Kevin? Oh, no, I mean, it's it's case in point of when he was talking about Anthony and he goes, uh, yeah, you're gonna write a joke, write a Just call it Moby Dick don't don't call it dick, right? So so that was an attempt at a joke here. I have this is at the very end of his show This is his big joke in the show and it is such a fucking hack joke I mean, I got a tweet the other day saying a guy I
Starting point is 01:21:21 Mean that this woman was like, you're an asshole. You suck. I've always hated you. And that was from my mother. Oh, so he realized he didn't set it up right. So he had to go back. He's like, this guy's like, oh, no, no, no, no, no. Okay, I got it.
Starting point is 01:21:39 All right, this woman says, you suck. I hate you. And I was like, come on, mom, right? Everyone's done their joke. That's not a good joke. And actually, I wanna go back to him talking about Anthony Kumi his book, because he talks about what the turn of the book title is,
Starting point is 01:21:57 and then he's ready to riff. He is going to crush it. What is it fucking, permanently suspended? I don't know. Speed. There's so many I could do. I don't want to get too upset though. Epic fail. I love it. He goes, oh yeah, the name is permanently suspended. So it's like a shit moment. Okay, what's the joke? What do you got? He goes, I don't want to piss him off. I got so many things I could say, but I'm not going to do it. Just just one, John. Just give us one. One just a joke. Give us a joke that maybe is funny. Nothing. And
Starting point is 01:22:41 it's not like you didn't have time to prepare for this shit. What else is he doing in his life besides recording this podcast? He's reliving his fucking glory days because I have a few clips here where he kind of walks back. Now he's bitching about Artie. I'm so glad you said that, Kevin. I am so ready for that That's all I have is glory days clips that's what this entire show is about He just talks about back when he was famous and people gave a shit about all right. What do you got?
Starting point is 01:23:18 This isn't even this isn't even famous. This is just our play track for this is kind of set us up. Oh, yeah, this is great. I mean, you never really know. I mean, I was getting A's and all my films at NYU, probably the most prestigious film university in America. You could some might argue you see it. UCLA some might argue USC. But yeah, I have I had that clip too. And I wrote down proof that he would have made it without Howard Stern because he's talking about the fact that people think I'm just famous because Howard Stern brought me on a stuttering job.
Starting point is 01:23:53 But I was getting A's in college. They go, what is that? What the fuck does that have to do with anything? What the fuck are you talking about? Here's him explaining that he does have talent. I know it's hard for some stern fans to swallow, to think that maybe I do have talent, but I do, I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:24:15 No, you are sorry, you don't. After he explains that he does have talent, because he has to prove himself, right? He goes into these fucking stories that are mind-boggling and he's not joking. This is real. And the truth is, you know, I was, I started out like we all did in our elementary school playing the recorder, which is like the fucking flute. And and then you go and then I moved on to trumpet where I became an all district trumpet player in second grade I was playing with the fifth and sixth graders I I learned how to read music in second grade.
Starting point is 01:25:00 He's going back to second grade because Artie likes that he wasn't a musician. So he goes back and he goes, oh, really Artie? I'm not a musician. I was playing trumpet with fifth graders when I was in second grade. What? Oh, yeah. There's also this gem too, like track five. Okay.
Starting point is 01:25:23 You know, and then, you know, I was in chorus in old district and I had a solo every year. He had a solo every year. I mean, come on. I had a plan, was a big baseball player, back in high school. Alright, it doesn't stop there, Kevin. He then talks about how he's great at comedy. So we all know he's an amazing musician. He played trumpet and red music when he's in second grade. But what about his comedy chops? You know, he's known for being the state of comedian now. And he says, well, obviously I have comedy chops. You know, and it's just, you know, for him to say something like that, and oh, I was
Starting point is 01:26:03 never a comedian. Well, already I was, you know, I was say something like that and oh I was never a comedian well well already I was you know I was making comedy films as soon as I got my first super eight millimeter camera when I was in freaking fourth grade and you know I was making I wrote my first sketch in junior high in sixth grade you know and we got an A on it it was called the smothered brother You know and we got an A on it. It was called the smothered brother Did Stuttering John just brag about an A he got in sixth grade? He sure did. And he was telling Artie Leg That Artie Leg is wrong about how funny he is
Starting point is 01:26:45 Like just so you know Artie you might think you know comedy my teacher in sixth grade gave me an A on a film I made. Glory days. This guy fucking does. Glory days. What the fuck is wrong? I made a movie called The Smothered Brother. Glory days. Glory days. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 01:26:58 So that goes out to talk about his acting. And apparently, when he was in first grade, he was the best actor. You would think that I'm making up this setup, but listen to this shit. And he's being serious. That was never an actor. I was the star of the show in the little carrot scene. I know it sounds crazy.
Starting point is 01:27:16 Why am I defending myself? But in first grade, it got aired on public television. They liked it so much. They put it so much, you know, they put it on on TV And I was in first grade and I knew all the lines I would give the other actors their lines in case they forgot while we were on stage. This is insane Kevin, I don't remember anything. I did in first grade. Nothing. I did in first grade was important or meaningful Nothing I did. Yeah, and any of my fucking life is important or meaningful, but especially that first grade was important or meaningful. Nothing I did in any of my fucking life
Starting point is 01:27:45 is important or meaningful, but especially not first grade. I was a regular chili temple. Yeah, I know that's the picture this guy's painting. We are on TV, public access is not TV. Anyone could put anything on public access. I was picturing that conversation where he's explaining to Artie Lang, who has been in dozens
Starting point is 01:28:05 of huge movies, that he's an actor because in first grade he knew everyone's lines. And I was just imagining Kevin, what would it be like if Artie was in the room, maybe Artie and Robin Quivers and they were having this conversation? How would they respond to that? Why am I defending myself? But in first grade and it got it got aired on public television they got it they liked it so much What a fucking idiot, Sundry John. It's unbelievable. That's a great drop. It should be on everything that we say, too.
Starting point is 01:28:56 Well, I could literally picture him having that argument against Artie, like, because I think Artie went through the same thing with Stale the stockbroker. When sale was trying to pretend that he was a talented comedian. It's like, are you, what are you fucking an idiot? You're not you're nobody. Yeah, he, he does this like, well, I mean, we've been talking about this fucking name dropping thing. So he, he calls already offered name dropping, which is I have his track was seven.
Starting point is 01:29:24 You know, and then, I don't know nor McDonald and David's spade. I don't know any other names you could drop there already and then what Dan fallado all the girders in his life that keep Judd Apatow and Heat homes and I don't know all his girders Yeah and um, heat homes and I don't know all his girders. Yeah. Yeah. And then it's immediately followed up by his own take, which is not a track eight. You know, I don't know about, I was never a musician.
Starting point is 01:29:56 Well, Joe Walsh didn't think that already. I wrote a song with Joe Walsh, you know, I played with U.E. McDonald on my album. He was the bass player on my album You oh for most of the songs if you don't know who you E McDonald is he's the bass player for Bon Jovi now Rolling Stones Rolling Stone magazine seem to think so arty you fat snort I know what a fucking it is like already though. He's name dropping. Well, guess what I hung out with Joe Welsh I guess that's a time come on man. Are you not he's actually, already he's always name dropping. Well, guess what? I hung out with Joe Walsh. Like, come on, man.
Starting point is 01:30:26 He's obviously not listening back to the show, but is he listening to himself while he's talking and all, is he aware? And again, I want to point out this drop off. I wrote a song with Joe Walsh. And then he says, and this bass player from Bon Jovi was on my album. It's not even the bass player from Bon Jovi.
Starting point is 01:30:44 Like, okay. It's not even the bass player from Bon Jovi. Like, okay, that's that's you felt pretty far just now. Yeah, even if it was the bass player from I don't know anybody in Bon Jovi except Bon fucking Jovi. That's the guy know in that band. So this this is how well come on, you know, Richie Sambora. All right, okay. Glory days. This is how he wraps this all up.
Starting point is 01:31:06 He's having this long conversation about everything that he's accomplished over all of these different years. And so here's the wrap up. You know, so getting, so yeah, who knows what I could have done, it could have been. He would have been a nobody.
Starting point is 01:31:21 I know exactly what you could have been. And now we find out why he needs to defend himself and why he has to prove himself and go back to all of these past successes that he's had in first grade and second grade. But you know, I could take it with the best of them. Howard goofed at me, Fred goofed at me, Jackie goofed at me, Robin goofed at me. I took it. I took it. You know, I took it for a while when Anthony and Artie were goofing on me. But at some point, you fucking got to say, shut the fuck up. Especially when kids are concerned, especially when my career is concerned, when fucking
Starting point is 01:32:00 Artie's main objective seems to discredit my comedy, which is the way I make a living right now. No, it's not Artie who's discrediting your comedy. It's your comedy that discredits your comedy, John. I wish you would have went one bar, like, one bit further on that clip, because he says, comedy, you know, the way I make my living now, comedy, mostly pensions, though. Like, I'm like, pensions from what? From fucking the Tonight Show?
Starting point is 01:32:28 Yes, yes, that's exactly right. I happen to know, cause I've seen John on Anthony Kumi's show when he's talked about this after the fact, he was making like 80 grand a year working for Howard Stern living in New York City, which is not a good salary. And Jay Leno offered him like a half a million a year. So he made the move when he was making a half a million dollars a year,
Starting point is 01:32:49 which he's lost to his ex-wife. But yeah, when you get that type of gig in Hollywood, you're pretty much set. He's got a pension going. He's going to be fine. But yeah, it's like I make my living off a comedy. Well, mostly that job I didn't deserve is still paying me. I do want to wrap up the the glory days. piece of this review that we're doing. He talks about he wants to revive the thing that made him famous in the first place. Right now, I'm in the process of raising some money to do the Stuttering John interviews show. It's just gonna be called Stuttering John interviews dot dot dot.
Starting point is 01:33:33 I'm only trying to raise like 20 grand. I need like three camera crews to go on the red carpet. I got to start off the celebrity bulletin' again. Find out where all the celebrities are, where they're gonna be. I wanna be a young girl, son. Go out there, no one's gonna recognize me anymore since Howard Stern day with the long hair. And start asking the questions.
Starting point is 01:33:57 Already talked to one of my Tonight Show buddies and former. Holy day. And partner, he was a writer on the Tonight Show, He's a buddy and former and partner. He was a writer on The Tonight Show. He was a writer for David Letterman. He's going to also help me write the questions. I'll probably get another writer from The Tonight Show.
Starting point is 01:34:16 And we'll craft the questions, hopefully as good as Jackie and Fred did. And I'll go out there and do it again. Because the girl that's a speedball buyer make you look like a blue boy. All right, so he's talking about, hold on, before I say that, did Bruce Springsteen just say throw that speedball by you? It's called a fastball. Nobody has a speedball.
Starting point is 01:34:42 You haven't changed up a curveball, maybe a slider, a speedball? Anyway, holy shit, that fucking song, it's garbage. So he's talking about the fact that he's going to revive his shtick. I'm gonna go out there and interview celebrities and ask them ridiculous questions again. Now, Kevin, if you were this amazing person
Starting point is 01:35:03 and he's building himself up to be, that you can write jokes and you're hilarious and you've written jokes for all these people. Do you really need two writers from the Tonight Show to help you come up with questions for celebrities? Well, not only that, but he said he needs three camera crews for Red Carpet. What the fuck is he talking about? This is never going to happen. You should start with one audio engineer for his current podcast. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 01:35:32 I want to switch gears real quick. He gets into the current news and there's a lot of people who have weighed in on this Roseanne Bar thing. You know, you're familiar with this. Yeah. Well, I got to tell you, I only need one hot take and that is Stuttering John's hot take on this Roseanne Barr situation. What's wrong with you, Roseanne Barr, you can't be disparaging the woman. But what she what she I mean, she tweets that this woman from the Obama administration looks like, an African American woman that looks like an Aper, I mean, a combination
Starting point is 01:36:11 of an Aper, something. What is wrong with you, Roseanne? You heard it here first, people. Stuttering John, hot minute. He had nothing to say on that. You don't have to bring it up. If you have no take on it whatsoever other than, geez, Roseanne, that was dumb.
Starting point is 01:36:31 Okay, I think we've all established that. I wonder what his hot take is about Donald Trump. Oh, Jesus, do you have that? I don't. I don't either. It got very political for a while He got into this whole thing about Republicans and Donald Trump and I just couldn't give a flying fuck about this guy's Political views. He's an idiot. Well, he name drops the Trump a shitload too because he's like he used to call into the stern show
Starting point is 01:37:00 I've been on helicopters with Donald Trump. I've been to dinner with Donald Trump. I know that he was talking about That kid being retarded. He that's his skyper humor. That's his humor Yeah, I I've been I've listened to Bruce Springsteen albums with Donald Trump. All right, I've thrown speedballs by him Sorry Yeah, I know he actually like they were best friends. It's like, no, no, no, you worked for a show that he was a big enough celebrity that he would actually call into the show and get on the air. There's nothing to do with you, John. He's a huge talent, man. I mean, shit. I've learned a lot about Stuttering John listening
Starting point is 01:37:41 to this. I mean, he has a very very very solid background going all the way back to grade two You know, he played the recorder. That's pretty fucking honorable and I mean shit I'm I bow down this guy now what I love is that he's putting out this podcast that we could all agree is garbage It's unlistensable. He has his his bitterness to start off the show and trying to prove that he's talented and that's the first 30 minutes and then he starts reading questions from Twitter And so he's just answering questions And one of the questions is something like is the hokey pokey really what it's all about like why are you?
Starting point is 01:38:22 Do you have nothing else to do? Yeah, so why did he pick that tweet? I don't know. I don't know. So then, at a certain point, he explains that someday he might create a podcast that's listenable. Uh, I might have news and, well, it looks, well, I don't want to, well if that happens it happens. I might have like a some radio type show, an internet radio show coming out very soon in like four weeks. So I guess this is the preamble towards that.
Starting point is 01:38:57 All right, so I'm just gonna give a little bit of advice to Stuttery John, cause apparently he doesn't know a lot about the entertainment industry. If you're gonna launch something, don't start with the worst possible product you could possibly put out and then build towards something that might be good down the road. And I love that he says, yeah, I mean, if it happens, it happens. In four weeks, I might have a really good show.
Starting point is 01:39:18 If it happens, it happens. Kevin, when you and I started this show, do we just happen to stumble upon one day we were recording ourselves and we had clips of other podcasts? Like, oh shit, look at what just happened. We just started a new podcast, making fun of other people's podcasts. No, you fucking make it happen, you fucking retard.
Starting point is 01:39:34 If you wanna have a good podcast and a good show where there's a news person on there and you actually have a format and fucking bits that you're doing, then fucking do it. Don't wait for it to happen to you! This is the most motivational I've ever heard you do. Yeah, I feel like fucking Matt Foley right now. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 01:39:53 But seriously though, why is he putting out the worst possible product possible? And then he's going, yeah, in four weeks I might have a good radio show. Oh, you might? I doubt it. Well, I'd be surprised. It sounds to me. Now, I obviously don't know. Jesus, I'm fucking stuttering. I don't know John Melendez.
Starting point is 01:40:14 You know, I mean, I don't know this guy, but it seems like shit's kind of been handed to him. He actually calls that out at one point, because I guess already used to say that, too. Like, you know, he fell into, you know, this successful Stern show, and then he got this, you know, he wasn't a musician and got a record deal and then he got, you know, the Tonight Show and he wasn't an announcer.
Starting point is 01:40:33 So it's like he didn't, he's kind of stumbled into a lot of shit and, and, and, and been marginally famous for it. And now here he is, you know, trying to scrape together something and is hoping that he'll fall into something again. And I don't think it's going to happen, you know, you don't you don't think it's going to happen. I mean, I don't know if you know this, but he is one of the most talented people who was on the Tonight Show. He talks about all of his contributions, you know, and the segment guys, they had to go out there on the Tonight Show. He talks about all of his contributions. You know, and the segment guys, they had to go out there on the field
Starting point is 01:41:09 and come up with bits and you know, and I was all of those. I was segment, I was a monologue guy. I mean, you know, monologue was not my, I didn't focus on the monologue. I was more of coming up and creating a lot of segments and eventually I became a drop in guy and I was probably the number up and creating a lot of segments and eventually I became a drop-in guy and I was probably the number one cold open guy
Starting point is 01:41:28 which was like comedy sketches, getting back to my youth. Getting back to my youth, he was talking about when he was in sixth grade, he was writing comedy sketches. He's like, yeah, then I did it for the Tonight Show, getting back to my youth. But did you hear what he was taking credit for there? He was the fucking Tonight Show announcer and he's explained that he was part of the monologue writing. He was doing the bits. He was doing the cold opens. He was writing sketches. And then
Starting point is 01:41:54 he explains that I don't know what a video drop in is, but I have two takes on this clip. But you know, then the the drop ins, which were the video jokes. That was one of the ones that made Obama laugh at the White House Correspondence Center. We literally if you saw my reel of drop ins, you would call already a fucking idiot, because it is well crafted, well thought out jokes in a video sense. And it's, it's a niche thing that only you know, let's face it out of the 20 guys on tonight show, maybe three or four of us were able to do it. Holy shit. All right. You heard that that clip I just played
Starting point is 01:42:33 Kevin. Yeah. All right. Bring your jaw back up toward towards your mouth. All right. Okay. This fucking guy is so delusional. He thinks he's able to write comedy in a way that only a couple of guys who were hired to be writers on The Tonight Show could even figure out, could possibly pull off. And then, he's so fucking bitter, they have to make it about Artie Lang.
Starting point is 01:43:02 Every single thing he says, he's like, yeah, you know, I used to do this thing that was so great. You want to see my real yeah fucking arty Yeah, check out my real arty like Arty's not even listening to this. You're not talking to arty right now He doesn't care about your podcast. They were you talking to I? Love I love that he pretends. He's not bitter. Here's another question from pretends he's not bitter. Here's another question from DMACK, killer7566. Why are you so bitter? Well, I am not bitter DMACK. I'm not bitter. Did he just say he's not bitter? That's all he is! That's all the show is! He's fucking bitter! That's amazing. The stuttering rebuttal. That this show should be called. He's just responding to the things that no one is aware that's even happening.
Starting point is 01:43:50 Correct. This is this is a hard one for a lot of fucking reasons about it. It's just it's number one. It's not good at any kind of measurable scale. And it's just it's it's it makes me depressed listening to it because it's like this is a guy who thought he had everything and now doesn't have everything but It's just trying to It is really it's it's really the fucking song glory days personified really is fucking I'm so I'm so glad you said that we were on the exact same page.
Starting point is 01:44:26 All I could think of when he was talking about all his accomplishments. And it'd be one thing if he if he was just talking about the Tonight Show and Howard Stern, like, that's all I want to hear about from Stuttering John. I don't want to hear about the the stand up show. He did it yuck yucks in Baltimore. I don't care. But the fact that he went back to when he was a fucking child or when he was at NYU getting A's on his fucking film tests That was surprising to me. That was surprising. I asked Arnie's gonna hear this and be like, oh, I didn't know that job
Starting point is 01:44:58 Right! He's talked to Arnie! He's talked to Arnie so many times! Doesn't he know that this is not a good argument to make? Arty would be crushing it right now. It's so stupid. God, I'm sorry, John. I didn't know. I didn't know that in sixth grade you wrote the Smothered Brother. I didn't know that that was you.
Starting point is 01:45:16 Here's a clip that I have. It's near the end of the episode. He just can't help himself to be boring. He talks about something that happened in high school that couldn't be less interesting. You know, it's funny, when I was in high school, it was when Reagan was president, and I wrote on the desk some shit trash and Ronald Reagan and this guy wrote back to me on the same desk and pencil, you know, you're nothing but a bleeding heart liberal. And I wrote back to him, who the fuck is this?
Starting point is 01:45:50 And he wrote back to me, Darrell LaMonica. I knew Darrell LaMonica, he was this fat bastard in like ninth grade, I think I was in tenth. So I said to him, well, I'm Frank Fee, I picked the biggest bully, the tallest, biggest guy that I can think of. I'm Frank Fee and I'm gonna kick your ass. Thar Olimonica never wrote on that desk again. That's fascinating. Please go on.
Starting point is 01:46:11 What the fuck kind of story was that? How big is this desk that you're writing fucking sentences on it? So I mean, what's the interesting part? I don't understand why he would relay that story, where he had to pretend he was someone else to intimidate someone who was just writing on a fucking desk? Is this what we're talking about on your podcast? I hope Mark Lamontica is like a fucking huge lawyer right now and heard he just heard these disparaging remarks on a shitty podcast.
Starting point is 01:46:40 I'm hoping that that's like two or three chapters in his book that I cannot wait to pre-order on Amazon Because that's another day. I wrote on the desk Doesn't the teacher smell and then somebody wrote back you smell and I was like I'm not the one who smells You're the one who smells and it just went on for for months and months And so we fill up all the desks inside the classroom But then we started writing underneath the desks, you know, or all the gum was and stuff. Is this interesting?
Starting point is 01:47:09 I mean, it actually is more interesting than what I was just listening to this morning. And it sucks because I'm doing double duty now. I had to listen to this Stuttering John show. But we're also doing an OPI segment. And I should have teased that earlier in the show. We do have an OPI segment coming up. So I'm listening to Stuttering John's God-Offa podcast telling stories about nothing. And then I have to switch gears and listening to OPI and Vic Henley and Carl Ruiz.
Starting point is 01:47:41 And it's fucking torturous. This is my day off. This is the day I don't go to work. And this is what I'm spending my fucking time with. Yeah, it's it's pretty bad. I don't know why I don't know why I'm. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know why I'm complaining to you, Kevin. You were smart enough to walk away.
Starting point is 01:48:01 I mean, you should not. You should be like, yeah, well, this is the fucking bed you made. All right, I do want to put to play you this compilation that is the accomplishment compilation. This is all the shit. Actually, it's not even all the shit. But this is just a quick comp of the things that Stuttering John has done that proves that he's a worthful, meaningful person that we should all be very impressed with. You know, I play pretty good fucking league guitar on my album if you fucking heard it. Rolling Stones magazine seemed to think so.
Starting point is 01:48:39 Artie, you fat snort. I have my class three. I take a fucking, I take a road test in a freaking 26, 30 foot truck where I had to parallel parking that bitch. And I was getting A's in all my films at NYU. As far as I'm concerned, I think Mike Boksia had his funniest shit. You know, I've written,
Starting point is 01:48:58 I've written some jokes for Mike. I was in chorus in all district. And I had a solo every year. You know, after you come off the stirring show, I'm a slow beginning out of here. The Tonight Show, you know, the Criminal Gibaros, the Seth E. Miller Show, Bite Size TV, you're on all these shows. I would write sketches and I got to direct the, you know, the Life's Aquatic Tarantino. I became an Old District trumpet player, but I got to direct Jamie Lee Curtis and Jack Black and Adam Samler and David Spade. I learned how to read music in second grade, Bunch with Kim Kardashian, a Bunch with Charlie
Starting point is 01:49:33 Sheen. I mean, I got to write and direct so many stars. Sophia Vergara, Hugh Laurie, Terry Bradshaw, like three or four of them, Phil Jackson. Yes, I wrote a lot of jokes for Howard. But, you know, I killed it on Anthony and all the producers and directors and staff there always told me how well I did keep themselves and Anthony himself. Oh, shit, I'm sorry about the length of that. It is all over the place.
Starting point is 01:50:02 Could you imagine if you did a show where all you do is talk about everything you've ever accomplished, this is kind of like Bobo from Howard Stern talking about the spelling bee that he won and the grades he used to get when he was like, is something trying to fucking Bobo? I was hoping you were referring to that Bobo, not the other Bobo. I'm on a. Well, I still love Bobo because that Bobo, the other one is on chip show from time to time, and he is fucking amazing. I am a fairy. Comes to pre.
Starting point is 01:50:36 It comes to pre. During that clip, he refers to the creamel Abdul Jabbar roast as what I think is the criminal abbar bar show yeah I don't get it but I'm sorry it's criminal abod show the criminal jabbar roast I got one more clip on here that is again an example of this amazing joke writer who's written jokes for all the greats the two strokes happened because of uh I had my cholesterol was through the roof. It was probably higher than Arty's weight. And that's hard to fucking. That's hard to that's hard to be. But he is so pissed at Arty. This this Stuttering John show is
Starting point is 01:51:18 not good. It's not a good show. It's not fun. It's not fun. It's not funny. It's not fun. It's not funny. It's not funny Anything else you want to talk about with with John any other clips? No, I mean it just that this is it was depressing honestly to listen to and to hear like I It's one thing to you know brag about all of the bullshit you supposedly have done but to me like you know, brag about all the bullshit you supposedly have done. But to me, like bragging about writing on the Tonight Show is not something that I would ever do because the Tonight Show for Jay Leno's run was a horrific turd. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:51:58 Oh, I got he can. He was talking about like he would get a joke on the monologue and how proud he was. I dare you to go back and listen to those Jay Leno fucking monologues. It's the they're the worst jokes. They're not even close. They're not even close to funny. I'm not really sure how that show fucking hung around for as long as it did. Well, I don't know. There's this thing, Kevin, called the Midwest.
Starting point is 01:52:25 There's a lot of fucking people there, and they have zero sense of humor. They just think that if you're smiling and looking at a camera and you hear applause going on, then it's a funny joke just happened. There was nothing. There was no entertainment value in that show. Yeah, I don't know. That's kind of my opinion of Leno anyway, but you know, people were like, oh, he's edgier and his in his stand up or whatever. And this was
Starting point is 01:52:52 kind of a milk toast way of doing shit on on TV and stuff. But I don't know. And you know, not that I'm a huge fan of Phalan or anything either, because I don't really think that it's ever really been that great of a show. I'm talking about the Tonight Show particularly, but I would never claim that I was like this star writer on the Tonight Show because it's not generally known as like the biggest fucking, you know, the Carol, it's not the Carol Burnett show, a fucking late night show. You know what I'm saying? Well, you know, again, John Melendez is a talentless hack who, for him, that's an amazing accomplishment. He overachieved in life. It's wildly impressive that this stuttering buffoon was able to be this big character
Starting point is 01:53:41 on Howard Stern's show and then an announcer on The Tonight Show. It's remarkable, but the sad thing is that it's left him delusional and bitter. And that's what's sad about this whole thing. That's why he's depressing to listen to his show. He should listen to it and you go, oh, this is a guy who thinks highly of himself and he shouldn't.
Starting point is 01:54:04 He shouldn't think so highly of himself. All right, speaking of thinking highly of yourself, I want to talk about OP radio. I teased last week that we're going to do an OP radio segment on our show from now on. It's just too much fun. I listened to episode 12 called Day Drinking the Divorce. Kevin, did you listen to any of OP show? I got a little bit into this and I got a few things that that hurt me. Well, I have a lot of fucking things that hurt me about it.
Starting point is 01:54:36 But yeah, I get the feeling that this is not a role. It wasn't Recorded in a bar it was maybe they just no no no these guys are in a bar again again It's a different bar than the other one that we did but they're back in a bar recording a podcast Which is interact with anyone cuz I didn't listen to think it was theater of the mind I mean they were bringing out the the seafood tray and everything I think it was theater of the mind. I mean, they were bringing out the the seafood tray and everything. Yeah, I got the vibe that maybe they were just fucking piping in like ambient noise
Starting point is 01:55:10 like, oh, we're in a bar. You know, like this is how cool are we? A bunch of guys in a bar day drinking where we are 55 year old men and we're day drinking. Vic Hedley wishes he was a 55 year old man. All right, here is a breakdown, a couple parts of the show starting off with there on Westwood One and Westwood One does not understand this medium at all. They don't get podcasting, so they're still doing
Starting point is 01:55:37 the fucking cheesiest of cheesy radio intros. Grab yourself a beer, martini or choose your poison because you're about to hear an episode unlike any episode radio intros. Day drinking on open radio The fucking horrible is this before or after the The impression there, I didn't even I didn't even pull that I Assume it's kind of a pile of I don't I don't even know if it was or not. I don't think it was Jay Moore, because I think his is his is a better impression. No, yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 01:56:33 The very intro was Kevin Pollack doing. What's his name? Christopher Walken. Chris, it was a Christopher Walken. Yeah, it was terrible. And then it goes into this overly produced radio bit that I think is having a laugh about driving while intoxicated. Who knows?
Starting point is 01:56:53 Weird, kinda weird, but it's just this overly produced radio bit or radio segment or whatever that is that is such a turn off to people these days. Like that's not something you wanna hear. All right, so then Carl Ruiz is on the show and Carl Ruiz was not on the podcast that we reviewed last time.
Starting point is 01:57:16 Carl the chef, Chef Carl. He is now becoming a big star because he's on the Food Network on Who Knows What, doing Who Knows What. And this is him talking about what a big star because he's on the Food Network on who knows what, doing who knows what. And this is him talking about what a big star is and how professional he is. And then Carl, being Carl, did the double hot pepper and fried oyster. Because I'm a professional, if you've seen me on the Food Network, Wednesdays and Sundays. For the first time, I dipped my fried chicken in honey and man, I got to tell you that was delicious.
Starting point is 01:57:49 I didn't edit that. That's exactly how the show sounds. So he says, I'm on Food Network Wednesdays and Sundays and they all just start laughing uncontrollably. I don't know why. And then Opie chimes in with, I just dipped fried chicken and honey and it's delicious. It seemed wildly awkward that they're all laughing about Carl's plug and then opi just chimes in with that. And it was a weird thing to say too because when I was a kid, like a young little kid,
Starting point is 01:58:20 I would get chicken nuggets and dip them in honey. It's what children do. He's acting like it's a delicacy that he just discovered. He's putting fried chicken in honey? When I was in second grade, I took chicken nuggets, I dipped them in honey, I got an A in that class in lunch. Could you imagine stuttering John and the OP in a room together, trying to be entertaining?
Starting point is 01:58:43 Holy fuck. Okay, so here's the main thing that I want to talk about Imagine stuttering John and the OP in a room together, trying to be entertaining. Holy fuck. Okay, so here's the main thing that I want to talk about with this episode of the OP show. He finally starts to talk about something that is kind of interesting. After he got fired from Serious XM last summer, he went through some shit and he had a deal with that. And I can imagine that was probably rough.
Starting point is 01:59:04 He's been out of work for a long time. So he talks about how he had a higher ashaman to come to his house to help him out. You really need to have a shaman come to your house after everything you've been through. And I had a full fledged shaman. Really, what have you been through? Well, just all the all the backstabbing
Starting point is 01:59:27 Son of a bitch. How about the backstabbing? Okay. All right. There's how about the backstabbing. You're right Okay, I forgot about that. How about the people turning on me after I showed him a great life Interesting. Mm-hmm. So opi's bitter Because there were backstabbers people turned on him after he made them famous. He opiates this guy who made people who didn't deserve to be famous. Wait, this is, this seems like a theme on the show. He turned these people who didn't deserve to be famous and gave them a great life and then they turned on him.
Starting point is 01:59:59 And I'm thinking, well, this could be a lot of different people, right? That he's talking about. Right, right. All right. So he's talking about the shaman comes to his house and he does this meditation exercise where the shaman is shooting arrows at his enemies. So this is a little bit later in the podcast, they reveal who this backstabber is. Did the arrow miss and go through our, through a Roland's cupcake? Cause everyone's still alive.
Starting point is 02:00:25 Okay. interesting. The backstabber was Rowland. Now anyone who's listening to this show who's into ONA Universe knows what this means. Rowland is the guy that Opie was taking pictures of shitting at SiriusXM who went to HR and said, I have this guy putting his phone over the top of the stall and taking pictures of me while I'm shitting. And HR went, that's pretty unacceptable. And then he got fired. Opie's pissing that guy? Like, why are you taking pictures of him shitting you idiot? That's wildly illegal to do and certainly unacceptable in a workplace. Is he fucking serious?
Starting point is 02:01:18 He's fucking delusional. He said that's another thing about this show today. It's fucking, people are delusional Do you remember when when opi was bragging about how we used to take a shit in the ocean? No, I don't remember There was a point where he was like I went I went down the bra I went down to the to North Carolina. I took a shit in the water and opi or North Carolina, I took a shit in the water and Opie or a fucking gym and Anthony are like, why would you do that? Why not just like go to the bathroom?
Starting point is 02:01:48 I was in the water, you know? Yeah. Why would you do that? That doesn't sound like a good idea at all. This is like fun. Yeah, it's it's it's fucking disgusting. That's actually what happened. But Kevin, I mean, yeah, I don't think I don't believe any of his stories.
Starting point is 02:02:01 But Kevin, like, I like to shit while I'm sitting on a toilet With no one taking my picture, but that's just me. I mean, I don't know Maybe I'm in the minority on this I just thought that was unbelievable that he's talking about the backstabbers I could I could probably list all the people he thinks has stabbed him in the back as everyone's talking shit about this guy Because opi was a shitty co-worker. He treated everyone like garbage. Right. We've already covered that. Let's move on.
Starting point is 02:02:27 Let's move on to new things. So he talks about the shaman that he hired. A shaman came to my house. Legit. Okay. I'm listening. With tribal drums. African or American Indian?
Starting point is 02:02:39 American Indian. Native Native American. Native American. Shaman. Yes. Dream catcher in his hair hair all that shit. Okay Brilliant back and forth with these two so this now I'm gonna get into a series of clips that introduces what I really want to talk about
Starting point is 02:02:55 And I snorted stuff. No, yeah, I don't really want to tell the full story here I'm just giving a little little pieces, but I something, and I'm like, I've never done heroin, but I'm not sure if I just snorted heroin. Okay, so the shaman shows up in his house, and they're doing all these meditation exercises, whatever fucking nonsense, and then he snorts some type of plant, he says. And now he's concerned that he just did heroin.
Starting point is 02:03:21 Do you remember this part, Kevin? Yes, I do. Okay. What is so ridiculous about this is that he goes on and on about how he thinks he might have done heroin and he explains what he went through, things like this. My body was on fire. You ever do heroin?
Starting point is 02:03:39 No. Okay. So he's asking if you ever done heroin because my body was on fire. Is that normal? And then Carl knows a little bit about this. So he asked him this question. You did not do heroin. Did you get itchy and scratchy? No, my whole body heated up though. And it was on fire. I was like... Okay. So Carl said, did you get itchy? I said, no, no, not that. Okay, so Carlson, did you get it? Did you just say, no, no, not that.
Starting point is 02:04:04 My body heated up. Okay, so we're trying to figure out if you did heroin or not. There are very specific things that happen to you after you've done heroin and OPI still does not understand. Let's just put it this way, I was super alert. I was super alert.
Starting point is 02:04:20 I was aware of every inch of my body. Okay, Kevin, I've never done heroin. I assume you haven't either? I have not. Okay. What I know about heroin is it doesn't make you super alert. I've seen the pulp fiction scene where John Travolta shoots up and then drives around his car. He doesn't look super alert in that scene.
Starting point is 02:04:39 He looks like he's kind of dozing off a little bit. Maybe he's mellow and relaxed. This fucking idiot, Opie, is going, I think I might have done heroin. My body was on fire, I was alert. That's the opposite things. Heroin makes you numb, it makes it so you're just fucking out of it, you feel great, euphoric.
Starting point is 02:04:57 This guy's explaining the exact opposite of all this shit. And of course, he doesn't wanna talk about it too much in depth because he's teasing this for a future episode. I want to do like a full episode. I'm going to do a full episode on the shaman coming to my upper west side apartment. Vic, he told me, he's like, I think I did heroin. I'm like, do you still have your apartment?
Starting point is 02:05:17 He goes, yeah, I'm like, you didn't do heroin. That's true. He's quite the experience, though. Holy shit. He milks this for as long as he possibly can. This story. And then he's a terrible storyteller. And I'm going to play you this clip and I'll explain why this is not a good story.
Starting point is 02:05:40 And again, he does the high-pitched OP voice, which I think I've done like 18 times today. So I know I'm a hypocrite. I get it. But enjoy. I was too worried whether or not I did heroin or not to worry about all that other stuff. I'm like, is this guy a drug dealer? This is how he turns people on to fucking heroin, and now he's going to be my dealer for the next 20 years?
Starting point is 02:06:02 Okay. Everything that OP says is very fake and superficial. So he's trying to, you know, oh my gosh, what happened to me? He had me sort this thing. Am I going to be addicted to heroin? And now he's my drug dealer. First off, are we to believe that this multimillionaire
Starting point is 02:06:18 has an unvetted potential drug dealer up to his spacious apartment to dose him? Do you think that he maybe did a little bit of research and and probably talked to his other snobby multimillionaire friends about this person and what they're doing? Well, we're to believe that he found this guy in Craigslist. Is this even a plausible story in opi's world? No, this is just all bullshit to make him sound like
Starting point is 02:06:46 he's got something going on. You know, Kevin, the one thing that I was excited about because I've listened to a lot of opi podcasting in my opinion, more than I'd like to. And the thing I haven't heard yet is any type of format. And you know how we feel on this on WATP. We prefer that you have some type of format to your podcast. You don't just set up a couple microphones just start talking. It's not great. So finally, he gets to a segment and I was so excited. What do we get right into with our segment that we call Weird News. Okay. Some are on its underage stories that are very strange. Weird news. There it is. Come on, Scorch.
Starting point is 02:07:34 Yeah, Scorch. I have to give credit to the people on Twitter who kept tweeting me like opi has become Scorch. I spent hours last night watching old Scorch videos and it's fucking amazing. Opie has literally become Scorch. This is Opie describing Opie, I call it this bit. This is a segment from the old O&A show where they're listening to Scorch and Scorch is now broadcasting from a restaurant, a bar restaurant, and Obi is explaining exactly what Obi is now doing. Oh man, welcome to Scorch's PFG TV to all of the viewers in the whole PFG TV network. See, we can't even say this station or this station anymore because we're-
Starting point is 02:08:17 I love that he has no idea that this is not working. He belongs this. He's not faking this. No, he's not. In his mind, he is as big as fucking Conan O'Brien and Lemon and Leto and the rest of them. Is that amazing? Oh, because I love that he doesn't understand this is not working.
Starting point is 02:08:36 It's like, holy shit. He really has become Scorch. I never really thought of it that way. Dude, listen to this quick segment I pulled where Scorch is trying to spin the fact that they used to be in a studio and now they're broadcasting from a restaurant. And it's the exact thing that happened on the OPI show that I reviewed a couple of weeks ago.
Starting point is 02:08:59 It's unbelievable. We got Scorch talking about how great his new venue is, which is this crappy bar. Yeah, you know how you said that he always tends to look on the positive. Oh boy, does he. He practiced. We can learn from Scorch as far as looking at the positive. I think Scorch is one of those guys who practices the secret and power positive thinking. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:09:16 And things like that. And puts himself where he wants. He visualized himself in this pub. Oh yeah, you're right. A bad, if something bad happens, he doesn't even see it that way. Nothing bad's ever happened. It's good. Before we get into our next segment, want to talk about we we take the
Starting point is 02:09:28 show now this is the living room we felt so you're generous eyes if you can use that word everything so generic and sterile okay you know everything was so you know me i mean the tv studios are nice mind you i'm not gonna say the tv studios were nice but you know what we came into this this place. We take that Michaels pub It's on 113 in Tingsboro, Massachusetts. It's 147
Starting point is 02:09:53 Bob actually set aside a special place Scorches literally describing exact you what opi is doing now If you remember from the opI radio show to be four, he's like, yeah, we're at this bar on 52nd Street on the Upper West Side, like, wait, what? You used to be in a studio in a building. In your studio. The other part I like about that is that they talk about,
Starting point is 02:10:21 like, Anthony piped in or Sam piped in was like, yeah, you know, he reads the secret and he's into all these new age things. And that fucking, he was just talking about that damn shaman because he was fucking a heart. He is fucking Scorch. He's really is a shaman. Opie has become Scorch. It's unbelievable.
Starting point is 02:10:40 He's always talking about the numbers. So Scorch is on there going, yeah, I can't even talk about what station we're on now, where we have all these affiliates. OP even in this show that we just listened to, Kevin is talking about Wes was once really happy with the numbers. I was showing Carl our download numbers. The numbers are huge. Like, I don't believe you.
Starting point is 02:11:01 Highly rated shows never talk about the numbers. They don't have to. Right. Yeah, it speaks for itself. Do you think he's getting paid to do this podcast? OPI? Yeah. I don't know if you heard Anthony's take on it, but Anthony was positive that he was
Starting point is 02:11:19 not getting paid for it. Because OPI's not selling any advertising. There's no revenue model here. So do you think I'm trying to like get inside opi's mind like you think he's doing this to like I gotta keep myself relevant. I gotta keep my name out there so people don't forget about me. Is that you think what he's trying to do with this? Well it doesn't make any sense to me because Westwood One is a legitimate company that is hired.
Starting point is 02:11:47 If you go to Westwood One, I don't know if it's westwoodone.com or their podcast site, it's got Jim Rome. It's got a couple, I'm drawing a blank, but it's got a couple of famous people and opiates in that mix of people that are going through and I'm like, well, I know that Jim Rome definitely is not doing something for free. And I know that it's Jericho is one of the people on there. I know Jericho is not doing something for free. So they must be paying him something. But I don't I don't know how or why he's not generating any revenue for the company. Oh, this is so fucking cringy. It's so fucking big though.
Starting point is 02:12:26 There was a there was a drop from the Scorch segment that Jim Norton had that I just thought was perfect for future OPI shows. And this fucking joke blocker. He was describing Scorch and it's so perfect. And this fucking joke blocker. The other thing that Scorch does is he never has a joke. So if he hears something that he thinks is interesting or funny, he just amplifies it.
Starting point is 02:12:53 And I wasn't able to find that exact segment because I was watching hours of this last night and I saw that. But then listen to this OPI show that we just listened to. And Vic Henley talks about how he's his teeth are fucked up and just this is opi's joke. It breaks all the time. It breaks it breaks every two years because I grind my teeth and I don't wear
Starting point is 02:13:16 my mouth guard at night. You have a mouth guard. Oh, my God. You have a mouth guard. Like that. He just said he had a mouth guard. He just said he wears a mouth guard. You have a mouth guard? Like that, he just said he had a mouth guard. He just said he wears a mouth guard. You have a mouth guard? That's your joke? Oh, fuck it.
Starting point is 02:13:31 It's so tough. It's so hard to listen to. It's so hard. But you know what? There was a time when OPI was on OPI and Anthony. It's so hard to listen to. It's so hard. But you know what?
Starting point is 02:13:39 There was a time when OPI was on OPI and Anthony. It's so hard to listen to. It's so hard. But you know what? There was a time when OPI was on OPI and Anthony. It's so hard to listen to. It's so hard. But you know what? There was a time when OPI was on OPI and Anthony. All right. It's hard to believe that we haven't figured out who those podcasters are. To wrap up, I thought we'd enjoy a look back at Cardiff Electric's first appearance on the show,
Starting point is 02:13:58 as well as the introduction to everyone's favorite game show. To catch a dabbler, enjoy this look back at Cardiff being an insta tater. This is actually Carl for real. Cardiff, you want to come out of the Fendness man? You just heard that clip. Are you there, Cardiff Electric? Hello? Hello? What's up, buddy? This is my new friend, Cardiff Electric. I was just on the show. Hey. Thank you for having me on. Yeah. So you're the guy here. The S J R V guy. You started the whole movement. I took it over. What do you like about what do you like about this guy's show?
Starting point is 02:14:32 Did you hear that two minutes of him going, ah, did you hear that? Well, obviously you took that out of context. OK, did he say, guys, this is my impression of the worst show you could possibly put on and then do that? Possibly Possibly no he didn't I watched it. He didn't Maybe I should start clipping your show and finding all the embarrassing flubs that you do You should I encourage it and by the way kind of electric you're a far superior
Starting point is 02:15:00 Podcaster to Stuttering John. I enjoy your show. I don't even know why you like this guy. You're better than him. Did you listen to our interview that we did? I was there. I talked to you that in real time. That is true. Thank you. Cardiff Electric, do you do the movie phone? Are you movie phone voice? I am Dr. Remulak. Why don't you tell me what you would like to see?

I'm going to give you, I'm going to give you the floor for a second. Go for it. Well, I think as we discussed yesterday, Stutter and John has successfully conquered all the media and you're obviously jealous of him. So I thought we agree that you weren't gonna do these segments anymore Yeah, I know I you had me convinced and then some something happened. I woke up this morning. I went oh, that's right
