Who Are These Podcasts? - Ep110 - Papa's Basement

Episode Date: June 24, 2018

It's another week, another podcast to review. I'll be honest, I am super distracted by the World Cup. But that didn't stop us from listening to hours of Papa's Basement, a show that should be much bet...ter than it is. They've been at it for almost ten years. That's ten with a capital one.  Doug from Who's Right joins us this week to also discuss Cum Town's response to our show and another check-in with Opie Radio. It's a jam-packed show.  On a totally different note, I went to brunch this morning and was reminded of my two favorite bumper stickers of all time - "Tennis is My Racket" and "I Dig Archeology." Brilliant.  Also, this is my new favorite thing ever:   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Starting point is 00:00:00 It's Right Podcast. Hello, sir. What the fuck happened to your theme song? You keep changing it. I keep changing it now. That was actually a clip from an isotope song, which is my band. We had a weird week this week, Doug.
Starting point is 00:00:40 First, come town, a show that we reviewed back in November, just picked up on the fact that we reviewed them and the host of their show talked about us and we started getting bombarded with come boys who are not fans of ours. So we'll need to address that in this episode. I have some clips that I pulled for that. We also have, of course, our newest segment checking in on OP radio that I have to record some kind of transition or stinger for. Don't have that yet.
Starting point is 00:01:11 But first, Doug, the real reason why we're here is to talk about Papa's basement with host John Papa George H.O. hosting Papa's basement. It was actually interesting. John Papa, George, you hosting Papa's basement. It was actually interesting. I have to tell you, I did not hate it. Okay. I think that's right. Interesting. I mean, usually you would say I liked it
Starting point is 00:01:39 because that's what did it not hate it means, right? So I don't know that I'm on the like side of the fence, but I'm not on the, not a nerdy, another nerdy podcast side of the fence. Well, with that, that. So this came over as a suggestion on Twitter from Brian Bulty, who I mistakenly thought was possibly the host of the show.
Starting point is 00:02:01 Apparently I was wrong about that. But I do want to point out that we picked out an episode where it's John Papa, Georgia with this guy Sean Westfall. And apparently, yeah, we'll get into Sean. Apparently this was a filler episode. This is not the typical show that these guys do. So I just want to point out, you know, normally they have these co-hosts that are Travis Dohrward and Howard Flood. I did go and listen to the latest episode and I just want to pull a clip from that where they set up what this show is and why this show is.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Actually, we just not do intros anymore. I've been thinking about this since it's a podcast. If you found this, you know what you found. Right, they don't care It should be shorter. Okay, say that all right you take a while for the 80d generation You shut the hell up. You son of a dirty bitch. You shut up. All right. Hey fellas. Show us show us pop his basement It's 10 years old at this point. I grew up listening to Howard Stern. I try to do a Howard Stern like show minus the everything Okay, so this is a Howard Stern, I try to do a Howard Stern like show, Mayas, the everything. Okay, so this is a Howard Stern fan,
Starting point is 00:03:09 trying to do a Howard Stern style show. So that kind of sets it up. They've been doing this for 10 years. John Papa, Georgia, specifically, has been, has had this show for 10 years. I think that's important to know as we listen to these clips. Yeah, so I was surprised that he has
Starting point is 00:03:27 10 years experience talking. Yeah, I, um, but I'm gonna say it. You did John the Stutter last week. Yes. Stuttering John actually, John the Stutter was a different guy at Howard's time. You pretentious douche. Oh, I pretentious.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Okay. All right. We'll see about that. We'll see about that. Yeah. So this guy, Sean Westfall, is this what you're referring to? Yeah. So so I also listened to another episode other than this one. Okay.
Starting point is 00:04:03 And that's that's what I meant. I did not hate it. I liked the other episodes. I didn episode other than this one. Okay. And that's what I meant. I didn't not hate it. I liked the other episodes. I didn't care for this one. Did you listen to the one where they talked about Chris Hardwick? I did. Okay. That was the one I listened to as well.
Starting point is 00:04:15 And I went in this morning trying to pull clips from that because they started off their show talking about some guy they went to high school with Pat Norman, who would finger his ass while jerking off in the shower. And then that became a callback throughout the rest of the episode. Everything they talked about, they're like,
Starting point is 00:04:30 yeah, well, what about what would Pat Norman do? Okay, okay. So I was trying to find stuff to clip on that show. I do have them talking about Chris Hardwick because they're not a fan. They do not like this guy. What I liked about the episode, the one that we listened to,
Starting point is 00:04:48 was how he started off by talking about whatever the latest celebrity that died and how he liked and telling his mom about it. Right, yeah. Yes, his whole thing was he made his mom cry while she was in the bathroom peeing because of Anthony Bourdain's death. Yeah. To be honest, what's the guy's name, George Papadopoulos,
Starting point is 00:05:08 or something? It's John Papadurgeo. Close enough. Yep. I think he is a likable person, likable podcast host. I'll give that to you. I thought it was endearing that he was very honest about what a pathetic loser he is.
Starting point is 00:05:26 He lives with his mom. I'm assuming he's around 40-ish. He seems to have a shitty job. He's never done anything with his life. He thought he was going to be an entertainment and be a comedian and do all these things. He's got this podcast that has 17 listeners. It's not worked out well for him. He's very upfront about that.
Starting point is 00:05:45 Yeah, I, I, which is endearing. Well, you make it sound sad. It is. It's not good. It's not good. Doing it for 10 years though, that's, that's the sad part. I mean, at some point you're just going to have to know that you're going to change oil for the rest of your life and don't worry so much about entertaining people.
Starting point is 00:06:05 Well, that's exactly correct. And there was a part in here where the guy gives a throwaway line and it's fine. It's a good throwaway line. We play that. I go to therapy and I'll kind of ask her like, well, what do you think? She's like, well, you're the one who's here to talk. I can talk to a goddamn wall. Right. I'm here to hear answers come out of your answer hole.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Right. Okay, so that's John, the host, he says, I want to hear answers come out of your answer hole. Okay. That's entertaining. Keep moving. No, no, no, no. That was so funny that now they have to try to tag it
Starting point is 00:06:39 for the next 32 seconds. And that's what this clip is. Here, answers come out of your answer hole. Right. But I'm with you. By the way, that's a highly technical Here, answers come out of your answer hole. Right. But I'm with you. By the way, that's a highly technical term, answer hole. Here, answer. If you have to go through years of college
Starting point is 00:06:51 to be able to call yourself someone with an answer hole. When I drive through Burger King, and I am like, make the order, come out of the answer hole. All right, chicken fries, we're good. So, there is why I brought that up, Doug, is this is what's depressing to me. I'm not very good at podcast the all the fans from come town and let me know that over the past few days I'm well aware of this but at least I have this hope that if I keep doing it Maybe I'll get good and figure it out one of these days
Starting point is 00:07:17 And then I hear this guy's been doing it for 10 years and he still doesn't understand that you don't fucking tag Oh one off throw away line for 32 seconds. It's not going to get funny. God damn it. I think that Howard Stern is probably to blame for 95% of all the shitty podcasts out there. You are 100% correct. Yes. So you take what's the guy's name? Jim Polycranopolis?
Starting point is 00:07:43 Yeah. Yep. So when he starts off, I think he starts off every episode saying that he's a Howard Stern inspired podcast and then he'll pretend. Is this gonna be your reoccurring bit on the show but showing this guy's name? Cause listen, I like it.
Starting point is 00:07:57 I'm in. I'm in. I just wanted to establish that. That's what we're doing. I've only got one more written down. Okay, all right. Yes, we tied some Howard Stern out of your gun. Now I gotta start over.
Starting point is 00:08:10 What's this guy's name? Jake Steffanopoulos? Yeah, it's Jake Steffanopoulos, right? You fucker. Jerry Papagino, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, anyway, starting off by saying he's Howard Stern blah blah blah. It goes downhill from there.
Starting point is 00:08:27 He should leave all that off. You know, as soon as you say that you're inspired by somebody, then people expect a correlation to it. And there's no correlation to be had. Well, yeah. I would agree with that. The thing that I've said on this podcast, probably back when Captain and I started it, the reason why I think Howard Stern has created 95%
Starting point is 00:08:47 of shitty podcasts is that Howard Stern was able to take these bit characters, he's guys with bit roles in the office, and bring them into the studio and make them interesting. People that we shouldn't care about, like his limo driver or the retarded guy who pulls TV show clips. And all of a sudden, he brings him in
Starting point is 00:09:06 and makes them interesting and it's like, oh, what is JD up to? I wanna hear about this bit. Every podcaster thinks they're doing this. They're talking about their buddy, they're talking about what they did last night when they were talking at the bar and it's just fucking boring nonsense.
Starting point is 00:09:24 I wished that instead of taking that aspect of Howard Stern, they would take the aspects of the Stern show where they would used to do like bits and have games and have listeners call in and play along. That's the shit you should be doing. Some kind of format, some type of structure to it, but no, every podcast you think is they can just fucking riff with their bodies
Starting point is 00:09:41 and make you interested in people you don't know and don't care about. This is hidden way too close to home man. Oh shit! Anyway, who's the right podcast? Check it out. I think there's a new one coming out. Alright, so here's the clip where they're talking about Chris Hardwick because as you know
Starting point is 00:10:02 Chris Hardwick is the latest casualty of the Me Too movement. His ex-girlfriend decided that he was a shitty boyfriend and so now he's lost all of his jobs. And they don't like Chris Hardwick, but I think everyone's kind of on the same page where this is getting a little bit out of control. Anyway, this is a quick clip of them riffing on that.
Starting point is 00:10:21 I just, I never found found him he was like a slightly a dear Ryan C. Crest to me like I never thought he had some inherent. He was heroin-added Ryan C. Crest. Yeah, obviously He was rapier Ryan C. Crest. Okay. There is a Y-pull deck clip and I had a hard time finding clips dog I think you did too because you sent me one But there is a Y- I pulled that clip is that John Papa Joppa Joppo says Chris Hardwick is the fuck you. It says that Chris Hardwick is an a-eat-eacrest. And then the other guy jumps in and says, he's like heroin Ryan Seacrest. And I have to say, and this is subjective, azier version is a much funnier joke
Starting point is 00:11:12 than a heroin Ryan Seacrest. I think he probably should have left what Johnny put out there and just gone with that. Yeah, I think that line even made me snicker a little bit when he said an an A's year Ryan. That's good. That's a good line.
Starting point is 00:11:30 And then then they shit all over it. Yeah. All right. Let's switch gears. We talked a little bit about Sean Westfall. I want to get into this. This guy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Yeah. I hate to interrupt you. Yep. So that the one clip that I that I sent you over. Okay. It's what sums up the show for me, if you could play that. What was a good girl who won't want to,
Starting point is 00:11:53 won't want to keep it. She can't even read. You can't even read. You can't even read. You can't even read. You can't even read. You can't even read. You can't even read.
Starting point is 00:12:02 You can't even read. You can't even read. You can't even read. You can't even read. You can't even read. You can't even read. You can't even read. Puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, puh, gentleman. I got to think he's in his 50s or something and he's very proud of himself. Very pretentious guy. I want to set that up real quick. This is a clip that I have labeled Sean is pretentious. But there but it's that there is no sort of high culture or there's no low culture without high culture and there is no high culture and low culture without middle brow culture. And I think sometimes we get too focused on the popular culture. That's just a conversation that you and I, Doug, will never have.
Starting point is 00:12:51 You are 100% yes. So he later talks about how people have told him he's pretentious and even the way he describes this is unbelievable to me. And I've been taxed with pretension in the past. Like a good friend says, you know, God, you always sound so pretentious. And I go, what? Because I'm interested in this stuff. He's taxed with pretension.
Starting point is 00:13:14 Are you fucking kidding me? Who the fuck talks like that? Who talks like that? And now I just have one more clip to show how pretentious this fucking guy is. He uses two words in this sentence that I have literally never used once in my life. like that. And now I just have one more clip to show how pretentious this fucking guy is. He uses two words in this sentence that I have literally never used once in my life. And this is something that I was talking about, you know, the literary culture for you because that's my Bailey Wick is rife with people who even in their own life times weren't
Starting point is 00:13:38 recognized for the times that they have. So his Bailey Wick is a wife with, dude, I had to look it up and I didn't even get close to spelling it right. When I Google that fucking word, that, I would you ever use that as sentence? As soon as I look it up and figure out what it means, I will possibly. Right. Yeah. That's, that's a good point. So this guy, Sean, is this, you know, he's into poetry and reading and authors and he's talking about all this stuff. But at the same time, he's a stutter in full.
Starting point is 00:14:11 So one of the notes that I made, and I'm sure you picked up on this, is I said, if you are interested in hearing a stutter, read his Facebook post, listen to this podcast. Y'all, that's exactly right. I want to get into that stuff too because one of their main topics is that people don't know how to post on Facebook, but they do. They're doing it right. Everyone else is doing it wrong,
Starting point is 00:14:32 which is obviously an amazing conversation to have. So I want to point out, Doug and I had a quick conversation this morning and I do make it a point to not talk to my co-hosts about the show before the show. However, Doug said, are you guys are you gonna do a compilation of this guy's stunter? And I said, fuck yeah, I'm already halfway through it. And I want to point out that, Doug, you said to me, you weren't sure if I was gonna take the high road or not. I'm this guy's stunter. Are you fucking, I'm never taking the high road.
Starting point is 00:15:03 Like, I'll leave him alone. No, let's not pick out the poor guy. No, fuck no. You know what my issue with it was is he spent a half hour, I mean, he was stuttering the whole time. So it could have been a five minute conversation had it been somebody else. But he's been a half hour talking about being depressed and constantly looking for ways to commit suicide. Right. And then to pile on that with with him stuttering through the whole thing, and I know that I didn't want to touch on it,
Starting point is 00:15:31 because when and if he does kill himself, I don't want to feel bad for him. Yeah, I mean, Doug, the fact that I wouldn't. That was so weak, that was a pathetic shot. The fact that I wouldn't put this, even thought that I wouldn't- That was so weak, that was a pathetic shot. The fact that I wouldn't put, that's even thought that I wouldn't put this in. When this stutter is everything I wanted to hear last week on the Stuttering John podcast,
Starting point is 00:15:52 this is what John used to be on Howard's turn that was so fun and entertaining. So this is my compilation. If you need to take a shit, you're gonna have some time. I'm gonna play this compilation real quick so people know this is just from one episode. It was a depressing boring episode.
Starting point is 00:16:08 They just talk about Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain and like you said, suicide and all this stuff. But the thing I wanna point out is, even this guy's stutter is pretentious. I don't even know if that's possible. But listen to this, one of his quirks is that he says the same word three times in a row, a lot. You know, my point is, like, people, like, but, but, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, I, to, um, but you, you, you, you sort of, it's, it's, it's, and, and, you know, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, um, um, shit. I hope you're not getting bored there, Doug. We got to a little way to go. I don't know, though, I don't know if it's the stuff that
Starting point is 00:17:46 as a, as a, so I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm, so, so, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, more seconds. Of course, you know, yeah. I'm at Sean Westfall on Twitter. I always tend to eat. I'm talking mumbling, stuttering, and I'm like, you know that? So this guy's mouth works way faster than his brain does. Like his brain, it takes him a while to catch up to what he's trying to say. Just pause,
Starting point is 00:18:05 you don't have to be talking all the time. Just wait for it to come to you. Not a big deal. Or edit it out, one of the two. Holy shit, could this have been edited a little bit? There were so many parts in here that felt like I could have made this guy sound way more intelligent. You let him sound like a dunce. So as you know, I listen to these shows that you recommend on my commute back and forth to work. And you are never happy with me. I'm, no, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:18:35 And this one, it got me to react, which I think a podcast is supposed to do and my reaction was out loud in my car by myself. I said, somebody slap him and get him started. It was just, it was like pulling the cord back and just keep pulling it. Come on. We're going to get this going. And then he says this, which is perfect. Again, very long with it. I apologize. There were parts where this guy was just going on and on about authors and playwrights from the 17th century and
Starting point is 00:19:06 oh this fucking shit that nobody cares about this was not an interesting conversation on any level and they put it out as a podcast so this guy's going on and on and on and then John Papa John's pizza comes in and says this. That's all I had nothing nothing. Nothing, cool. After this guy goes, out of that, we're actually poetic. John goes, yeah, I don't have anything. And he even sets him up for failure, which I think is rude to do when you have a guest on your show. Listen to this, how he sets up the show.
Starting point is 00:19:36 So Kate took her own life and then Anthony Bourdain killed himself. Right. I will let you go down that path and wax on that one. Jesus. Could you imagine Doug? I know you've been through trouble times yourself. If I had you on the show and just said, yes, some shitty things going out in the news. We got the Middle East situation in North Korea. Go ahead. I I I I don't know. No. This is supposed to be a comedy show. Should I point that out? This is a comedy show. The guy is inspired by Howard Stern gets a guest out of show who by the way I
Starting point is 00:20:16 can't believe I haven't mentioned this yet. Do you know what this uh this shot wasfall guy does. Do you know what he does? He is a improv coach or something. He's an improv teacher. This stuttering pretentious prick teaches people how to do funny improv comedy. Fuck me, it's perfect. Perfect. You know, the first rule of improv is yet, yes, yes,
Starting point is 00:20:42 and, and, and. Did you like that, Tau Do? No, I just came up and, and. Did you write that down, too? No, I just came up with that one. Thank you very much. All right, I want to point out because this is about these suicides, I thought this was interesting that John was impressed that he knew who Kate Spade was. Which followed closely upon the suicide of Kate Spade as well.
Starting point is 00:21:05 That's true. Yeah. Yeah. I actually knew who that was because my ex had a Kate Spade bag. So I saw that insignia all day. My wife has like two or three of them I think. Yeah. You know what? He's taking credit for knowing who Kate Spade was. Wow. I know who Kate Spade was. I still don't. I won't after this conversation either. Fair enough. What's funny though is that not two minutes later, they talk about when a celebrity dies, how people on Facebook try to make it about them. But yeah, there's a ton of people who, I believe, love to post bad news and then also try
Starting point is 00:21:42 to, in any way, insinuate themselves yeah yeah into it that's what they just did it's exactly what they just I actually don't case paid is my my ex girlfriend had a bag wow you're like in the story were you part of the New York Times article I can't believe it it includes you in it we would probably do the same thing on our show if they ever find Levi Strauss hanging from a rafter or something
Starting point is 00:22:10 So then they explain how to Facebook which is great I need these types of lessons from my comedy podcasts Explaining to me the right way to Facebook every time you're on Facebook You will post something about these deaths, but it's at least like, it's a more intellectual angle than the average person. I'll give you that goddamn it. Yeah, yeah. Most people are simply really quick to say how they, they want to connect themselves to
Starting point is 00:22:39 it, and then we'll post like a fucking clip. Right. Any more day in or something. You know, this is when I found a tape where I'm gonna stick with it. Yeah, go on up the Meekon Delta. But you'll at least have something. So you contribute to it. I think you try to make your Facebook
Starting point is 00:22:55 a headier space in that, you know, the walls. I mean, it's cool. You're smart. I fucking know. You gotta pass. I don't know. I think sometimes it, I don't know. It's a long clip, but I just wanted to show exactly
Starting point is 00:23:10 what these guys are doing. They're very proud of themselves. There was a lot of that of them referencing him his Facebook post, like anybody gives a fuck. It's so bizarre, so bizarre to me. These guys, this guy, I mean, is an improv teacher for crying out loud. You don't follow him on Facebook?
Starting point is 00:23:29 No, what I thought was interesting about this is I used to be this guy who bitched about people's Facebook posts. Oh, I can't believe someone's fucking talking about the weather or whatever. You know what I did about it? I just stopped going on Facebook. It's a boring place for boars.
Starting point is 00:23:43 So I just stopped going there. The bitching about what people post on Facebook. It's a boring place for BORS. So I just stopped going there. The bitching about what people post on Facebook is such a dumb fucking thing to talk about, such a waste of time. And actually I pulled this quick ISO that I think sums it up. I could bore the shit out of it. You know what? Yes you can. I wish John and stepped all over that because that's a I could bore the shit out of it. Do you know what that is? A perfect ISO. But you don't know what I'm saying though, I mean, how much time are you spending on Facebook?
Starting point is 00:24:11 Because I find that the people who are posting on Facebook, whether it be political opinions, or just fucking nonsense about their lives, couldn't be a bigger waste of my time. So I'll be honest with you. I years ago I was on there quite a bit. Now I'm on there about 30 seconds once a week to post the newest episode to our shitty show. And that's it. I fortunately have it tied up with our hosting company so that when I post the podcast, it goes
Starting point is 00:24:40 to Facebook automatically. So I don't even have to log into Facebook to promote my shitty show. But it is funny though, because when I do get into Facebook and I see all the notifications, I have these trolls now. And Anthony Kumiya talked about, this has been well documented, that we've had some nice notoriety lately. I have these trolls now who are making fun of us
Starting point is 00:25:03 because not enough people like the post that we put it out I have this guy who's just like only four likes what the fuck Is this who we're judging this on who cares? Shit it's pretty funny cake that back you son of a bitch. Yeah, I like it myself like that. No, it's five. Yeah, go fuck yourself five people like this post What else do you wanna talk about? I wanna talk about- Not this show. Oh, well, I know, I know, but unfortunately,
Starting point is 00:25:31 that's what we're here for. I wanna talk about John's IQ, if that's cool with you. Fuck. You know, that's why I like recording with you. One, you do a hell of a job of driving the conversation forward. And you pick up on, I guess the idiosyncrasies of these shows that, you know, as soon as you said, John's IQ, I have an idea of where we're going with it.
Starting point is 00:25:54 Yeah. I just never, I wouldn't have even thought to make a part of the discussion. I have 17 clips on it. So we're going to be talking about, we have a little bit to talk about with this because as we mentioned before John is kind of a sad sack
Starting point is 00:26:08 He has this podcast that makes $17 a month on patreon. I'm sorry. I don't need to bring that up But I don't care about patreon personally. I just think it is funny What do you do put yourself out there and show how much money you're making because it's kind of sad Close to home are you making more of the 17 box dog I helped? Try to need to get out there. Can we move on, please? Let's move on, okay. So he's talking about his IQ
Starting point is 00:26:34 and I feel back as a sky. Well, he says this. I got the results back on an IQ test. Right. And fuck my dumber. You are? That simply isn't the case. IQ is way good.
Starting point is 00:26:44 So we made it. So, all all right so he's down 13 and you know shan being a good friend says no you're not you're not dumber or you're no no so then he finally explains what his iq score was and what it is now so so in the scheme of things what does 13 points? What percentage is that of your intelligence? I'll give you, I went from 146 to 133. So what? This guy is so non-plus by what he just heard. And I'm surprised by this because following the Howard Stern show
Starting point is 00:27:19 where they do IQ testing quite a bit, I happen to know 146 is genius IQ. You are in the top 1% of the population if you have a 146 IQ. As they talked about in the episode, I think it probably depends on what you are considering an IQ test, because I think you can go on Facebook and take one in three minutes that'll spit out a number. Correct. And this guy even says it was a professionally administrative IQ test with a psychiatrist that took three hours. It seemed like it was totally legit. And he had done this back in 89. He got a 146. He did it recently. Got a 133. So man, I'm dumber. 133 is superior intelligence.
Starting point is 00:28:05 146 is genius level. And the fact that, and maybe he was hoping that Sean would be like, holy shit, because that's what I would have done. But no, Sean just goes, oh, it gives a shit. What's the difference? Like, dude, did you hear what he just said?
Starting point is 00:28:19 This locksmith, who lives with his mom, has a 146 IQ? This is a topic of conversation that might be interesting. We can talk about this. And I thought this conversation was ironic, because obviously Sean thinks very highly of himself. He thinks he's very smart. And this guy just told us that he's a genius.
Starting point is 00:28:39 And then this is a very ironic conversation. I mean, by locksmith standards, yeah. I'm, this is my brain searching for SuperSmart. I'm Leonardo. You're the Richard Feynman of locksmiths. You are the, you are the, shit, the, I just have his name.
Starting point is 00:29:02 I'm Stephen Hawking of locksmiths. Yeah, that was hard locks. Yeah. That was hard to pull out. That's amazing. Two geniuses talking to each other. And they couldn't think of the one genius that everybody knows he's been on the sips and he's been all over TV. Couldn't be more famous. And they're like, yeah, you're like the, uh, uh, what's that guy's name? Uh, I'm Stein. Is that it? I'm silent? Like, yes, that're like the, what's that guy's name? I'm Stein. Is that it?
Starting point is 00:29:25 I'm Stein? Like, yes, that is it. You fucking idiot. Again, editing. Editing is your front end on that one. As they're talking about this IQ, the guy Sean says, I would never take an IQ test. I don't care about who my relatives are.
Starting point is 00:29:41 And Johnny says, well, I actually did take one of these tests to find out what my DNA is. Yeah, the DNA test. Right, right. Because it was for his mom, I guess his mom had the test and he had the test to figure out what his dad was. I don't know, something weird like that. Anyway, this comes out of that conversation.
Starting point is 00:30:00 I only did the DNA thing because my mom did. Right. And then through me, she could narrow down what the hell my dad was. Right, kind of. Right. And so that was interesting. Can't really get away with any like rapes or robberies anymore.
Starting point is 00:30:12 Mom file. Whoa, whoa, foul. Did he just make a rape joke, Doug? I guess I thought it was funny. Sorry. Well, apparently you don't know this, but telling a rape joke is worse than raping someone. That's the worst thing you can do
Starting point is 00:30:31 with human being. In fact, there should be a lynch mob out for your job when that happens, right, Doug? Nope, it's only if you're talking about raping autistic. Oh, gee, all right. Well, I got some postwork to do today, Jesus. Oh, all right, I got some some post work to do today. Jesus. Oh, all right. I was being a little pretentious there. You knew you. I you knew what now I'm doing it. You got me doing it. What do you got there? All right. This is a statement I wholeheartedly disagree with.
Starting point is 00:31:07 I think that you and I are the only two people that this discussion will be fun for. There's no way that's true. They did not have fun having that discussion. I would say nobody had fun with that discussion or that podcast. Oh, I would say Sean did. I think Sean enjoys hearing himself talk and he thinks that he is probably very, very insightful. He enjoys hearing himself do the thing he's the worst at. He's terrible at talking. You think he enjoys that?
Starting point is 00:31:34 It didn't stop him. It's true. That's a good point. Very early on in the show, John, who's the comedian? He's the comedy aspect of it is riffing and he says this. So I wanted to have you in, we could just talk about the darker stuff and talk about, you know, dreams not so much deferred is just dreams dead. Right.
Starting point is 00:31:55 And just do that for 30 minutes. Now if that isn't branding, I don't know what it is. Yeah, the dreams dead. Yeah, dreams dead. It's also the name of my death metal act, too. All right, two things. He says, that's the name of my death metal act, which I've never heard that those words
Starting point is 00:32:12 put together before, hey, what is your son do? Well, he has a death metal act that he does. But the other thing is, dreams dead is not a good death metal band name. I did pull my favorite death metal band name. I did pull my favorite death metal band names, Doug, just so we can go through this. You could see how far off this guy is from a band name like Dreams Dead.
Starting point is 00:32:36 All right. Some of my favorites are deep fried abortion, cut saw, baby Jesus Hitler, pussy overload, preschool tea party massacre Nonslaughter which is a band that I actually saw open for anal con going back a few years my favorite crucifix Those are death metal band names not dreams dad not gave up on life not all well with me It's fucking Anthony Anthony my co-host is a big fan of anal cut. Oh, yeah anal cut's hilarious I saw them live and the funny story about anal cut if you've ever heard their songs They're all about 22 seconds long
Starting point is 00:33:19 It's just this guy screaming over this shitty guitar riff, and the guitarist was so upset with the tone he was getting from his amp. He was fucking with the knobs, the entire show, like, who gives a shit about your tone you're an anal cut? This is not matter. This guy is screaming about aborting fetuses over fucking nonsense riffs. It's fine. Leave it alone. But if there was a band, if there was a death metal band called dreams dead. I'm guessing it would sound like this
Starting point is 00:33:51 That's the kind of death metal That sounded like the who's right podcast themes on who all the who's right podcast themes I uh We're gonna change the lyrics to it. We did last week. Oh shit, I gotta check that out. So, uh, alright. That's gonna be depressing. Yeah, we bastardized that a lot of it. I want to thank Brian for suggesting this podcast. I want to thank Johnny, Papa Giorgio,
Starting point is 00:34:19 for being a great sport. I'm just assuming that he's gonna be a great sport. I hope he's gonna be a great sport about it. Oh, shit. Um, anything else that you wanted to say or play on that show? I would say in 10 years of doing this, this probably isn't his first interaction
Starting point is 00:34:38 with negative feedback, so. That's a very good point. You did send me a YouTube clip. Does that make sense? I fucking stuffed all over your bit didn't I? Fuck me. Doug and I are still working out the chemistry thing. Speaking of chemistry, it's time for our OP radio segment. The opster, he used to talk a lot about the chemistry he would have with
Starting point is 00:35:07 with different co-hosts throughout the years of OP and Anthony and then OP and Jim and then OP and a bunch of nobody's. So he's doing this podcast called OP radio podcast. It's on Westwood one and we listened to a little bit of episode 14, the big Apple barbecue part one. Before you get into this. Yeah. So I've always been aware of Opie and Anthony. Sure. I've never listened to him.
Starting point is 00:35:34 I always listen to Stern and Bubba the Love Sponge. Never listen to Opie and Anthony. What the fuck is the draw with this guy? Yeah, yep, that's's that's my fucking question. That was the question. What you said over. Yeah. So that's could take a while.
Starting point is 00:35:52 That could take a while to figure out. I'm not sure because he has zero talent. And it's weird when you think about where open Anthony got to in their career, being almost as big as Howard Stern, who is the name of the shock-jock genre. I mean this when I say this.
Starting point is 00:36:12 I would rather listen to Papa's basement than Opie's radio. Oh yeah, oh for sure. No, to Opie's radio, and that's why people are on board with us doing this show. It's the worst podcast out there. There's not a worst podcast and this guy is famous. Yeah, so broadcasting. When you when you did your O.B. radio podcast episode or whatever, I thought it was just a chance for you to shit on somebody that was just to jump
Starting point is 00:36:44 on their co-tails or something. You know, because I didn't know the history of the guy. Sure. And it is fucking horrible. It is, it upsets me actually that this guy got famous for talking and he's got nothing to say. Well, it's the greatest things that ever happened to me because we've got thousands of subscribers ever since we did OP and actually just late last night early this morning Anthony Kumia listened to our latest episode on the
Starting point is 00:37:11 Studying John podcast and tweeted that out and again I went from a couple days ago all of the come boys bashing me to Anthony Kumia saying these guys are amazing getting us in their show. So it's been a roller coaster of a week. And I'll admit, man, this is, we're doing the OP show. We're putting it in as a regular bit because it's gotten the best response of anything we've done. And frankly, it's what this show was built to do.
Starting point is 00:37:39 This show is based on an OP and Anthony bit, Jacktober, where they would make fun of other morning shows that sucked when that went away. It's all come together. It's all come together. It's all come together. It all makes sense. They do this show where OP and Carl Ruiz,
Starting point is 00:37:55 whose his chef buddy, they head down to Mississippi for some type of barbecue festival thing that they're going to. Did you listen to this that I'll do? I did. I didn't listen to a ton of it. I'll be honest. I listened to the first 20 minutes or so,
Starting point is 00:38:11 but I want to point out, I have a few clips to get through here. I just want to point out how this show gets off to a screeching halt. Carl, where the hell am I? You are in the dukes of hazard. We represent the Lollipops. Wait, what did juice hazard. We represent the Lollipops. Wait, what did he say?
Starting point is 00:38:27 We represent the Lollipops. Who is that guy? That's Gary. What's up, Gary? Alright, so this is how the show starts off. Is there like, Oprah's like, whoa, fish on a water. Where am I? And this guy yells from off-micro distance.
Starting point is 00:38:43 We represent the Lallypop guild, which is a joke from 1939, if I'm not mistaken. Curry Ruiz doesn't fucking get it. He says, oh yeah, he represents a Wallypop. So, okay. And it just goes downhill from here. Because they're broadcasting in the middle of a field somewhere in Mississippi
Starting point is 00:39:01 and hope we didn't bring the right equipment. Which is amazing. Listen to this. I feel so stupid that I shaved my beard a week ago. I could have really used the beard at this event. You would have looked better would have beard. Yeah. Yeah, for sure. They would have never known hold on.
Starting point is 00:39:16 This is this is Dave. We only have one mic. So I got to I got to like pass it around day for move on. Yeah. Yeah. So they would have never known he wasn't from the South. If he had just had a beard. He has one mic, Doug.
Starting point is 00:39:28 There are 17 people on this show. It's every fucking redneck apart as barbecue festival. He brought one fucking microphone. So that's exactly what I would do. If I was heading to a field, filled with redneck. Yeah. I would bring seven of my buddies and one microphone to expect to put out quality content.
Starting point is 00:39:45 And so this entire show is people talking off Mike and then either someone repeating the thing that they just said so you could hear it or they passed the mic to them and then the person repeats what they just said, which you could kind of hear anyway, it's unbelievable. This idea that you would have a podcast where you have to pass a mic around Passing a mic hasn't been cool since the early 90s Yeah passing the mic died with Adam Yow is what I was saying So you asked me if I listen to it and I did. I pushed play and then I jumped to like 20% in and then 40% in and and and I got to what sounded like a Larry the cable guy impersonator. Yeah. Talking about wine tasting.
Starting point is 00:40:34 Okay. And he said, she got me plum snookered and then I shut it off and walked away from the whole fucking thing because this is fucking stupid. It's fucking stupid. I fucking hate you for making me listen to that dopey bullshit. Oh, I hate me for making me listen to that dopey bullshit. OP radio is the last podcast I want to listen to. I have tons of shows that I want to listen to that I don't get to on a weekly basis.
Starting point is 00:40:57 It is now going to be called dopey radio. Dopey. Oh shit, you could be on OP show with those types of jokes. Watch out. You're gonna be invited on. The OPI, oh shit, you could be on OPI show with those types of jokes. Watch out. You're gonna be invited on. Regular people can be funny. All right, here is the attract where
Starting point is 00:41:14 Carlywerwee's introduces OPI to a guy named Tank. And OPI is not familiar with people named Tank. The minute OPI got here, the first person I need to do some too is Tank, one of the best big farmers in the country. I go, this is tank, tank me, Opie. Opie goes, hi, Hank! Hi, they say, hey man, how y'all doing? So the joke here again is that Opie is a fish out of water. He's a man hat night who is a millionaire lives in a, you know, posh Manhattan Upper East Side apartment. And here he is in Mississippi and he's not fit in real
Starting point is 00:41:53 while with the locals, y'all, right? That's the bit that we're doing. Hey, all right. So I'm gonna detract as I always do or distract where it's awkward to this. Yeah. Have you had anybody stand up for Opie? Yes. All right, so I'm gonna detract as I always do or distract where it's stuck. Yeah. Have you had anybody stand up for O.B.?
Starting point is 00:42:07 Yes. I'll only have them guys. There's two. Only a few, only a few, but it's funny. If it had a couple people, and this is the thing that everybody says that learns about our show because we're bashing a show that they like, I get this note on the subreddit, on Twitter, in my email inbox all the time, which is whtpshow gmail.com.
Starting point is 00:42:27 I get the note that says, these guys are making fun of other podcasts, but their podcasts is worse than most of the podcasts that they review. And I just have to fucking do the math on that timeout guys. We've done 108 or 9 different podcasts, please show me the 55 or 56 That are better than our show. I would be amazed these fucking podcasts are garbage OBS radio fucking sucks for every reason I've already explained plus seven more than I'm about to I don't know how you stick up for the shit the one comment that I got from someone I think it was just a couple days ago that I appreciate it someone's sticking up for the shit. The one comment that I got from someone, I think it was just a couple of days ago
Starting point is 00:43:05 that I appreciate it. Someone's sticking up for OP and he says, listen guys, OP doesn't give a shit anymore. He's not trying. And I went, you know what? That, that I believe. That makes sense.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Then why do it? Why go through the trouble of going to a fucking pig farm and fester, wherever the fuck he was at and taking his one USB mic and why go through the trouble? That's a great question. I can't answer that one. But you know what I don't do? Dog is giving the Twitter wars with people because I find that to be the biggest waste. It's even worse than let's eat
Starting point is 00:43:35 opi radio. That's a huge waste of time. So when I get these people who send me shit like that, I talk about another podcast and move on. So he just talked about how when he met Tank, he said, how you doing Hank, and that got this eruption of laughter from everyone. That's amazing. This guy only knows people named Hank, not people named Hank.
Starting point is 00:43:57 So I don't care about the conversation they're having now, but at this point in the show, they started talking about a conversation that they had previously. He was not happy. I just couldn't hear. And I told him my uncle's name. He's no longer with us. He was Hank and he was an elevator fucking guy. He was in the union. He was a tough guy. You're trying to fix it. You're like, you know, because Hank is a good name.
Starting point is 00:44:21 He goes, what the hell is this guy you brought around here? I go, that's the opster. And that guy raises pigs, all sorts of pigs, right? Carl? No, there's that amazing transition. That's a broadcast or 25 years experience. They're talking about, we had this conversation where we were saying this and he was saying that and he goes, and that guy raises pigs, right? Carl, let's keep it moving. I got this figured out. Doug, I fucking hate when someone tells me about a conversation they had with somebody else, whether you're on a podcast or we're just hanging out talking,
Starting point is 00:44:52 don't care. Don't rehash a conversation. That's fucking boring nonsense. Sometimes you need, you need to rehash part of a conversation to set up whatever it is you're, you're bringing to the table. Okay. This wasn't that. This was not that. This was not the only one.
Starting point is 00:45:08 Rehashing a conversation because there was nothing else to talk about in the middle of this fucking field. That is 100% correct. That's a really good point. If you wanted to say, all right, so yesterday Doug and I were talking about this thing and now this is the thing. But no, these guys go, yeah, man, I fucking told him, man, this guy doesn't fucking get it. He only knows guys name Hank Like, okay, that wasn't funny then. It's not funny. No, why are we talking about it?
Starting point is 00:45:30 But, you know, it just dawned on me though. You rehashed part of our conversation. That's exactly right. Yes, good point. Fuck you. I believe, I believe I have a response for that. Fuck you! All right, let's get into, again, people talking off Mike, he only has this one mic, and then they have to repeat lame jokes to make sure they get it on, Mike. There's two things in Mississippi.
Starting point is 00:45:57 A jail and U-bons. And it's um... LAUGHTER Wait, what did he say? He says I spent a lot of time in both. And's that that's the barbecue ninja. He's the man Can you believe this this is a veteran broadcaster who thinks this is a good formula for a podcast to have people in yelling shit I just like what what are they saying? Who is that guy?
Starting point is 00:46:24 What could you figure this shit out before you start broadcasting? people in yelling shit and just be like what what are they saying? Who is that guy? What what? Can you figure this shit out before you start broadcasting? Did you say this was on Westwood one? Westwood one, yes. Yeah fuck them. Fuck them. They are, they do not understand this. So this continues on. Now we get into high pitch OP and when OP goes high pitch, you know he's trying to be funny. He's he's laying it out that right there The best bops in the world. She'll tell anybody what to do. Oh, she She's the barbecue princess. What were you in a coma? I'm trying to learn. I'm trying to learn you are you? All right, this is the one impression that I do pretty well besides my DLR is my high pitch Opie. Oh, I'm so confused.
Starting point is 00:47:06 What is this so confusing? What's going on? There's not a whole lot of difference between your high pitch Opie and the Cobra Commander. That's true. Although I think Kevin shamed me to stop doing Cobra Commander. Kevin and his wife actually used to call me out for every time Kevin and his copper commander
Starting point is 00:47:25 you think you could do it. Like all right, you're right, I shouldn't do that anymore. This is again, more shit that's off mic. I mean, y'all need like a beer, a, okay, so he's good. You've got, okay, so good. You like the fruity drink. Oh! Oh!
Starting point is 00:47:46 Oh! I! Oh! I was in cognito, but I don't know if the mic picked that up, but he rolled in and said, I heard he likes a fruity drink. Jesus Christ, this is the worst way to podcast. Do you get the huge reaction? And then three beats later, Opey goes, okay, so the reason why we're all just doing that is the guy said this Holy shit And that's when you realize that their reaction was not worthy of Definitely not so again, this is Opie
Starting point is 00:48:15 He's decided that he's gonna play this character of the fish out of water I mean he drinks stuff that you need to wear garter belts with Gary you like it you like a good like grapefruit beer or a fruity drink? Don't you Gary, come on, help me out. What? What? So Carl actually had a pretty funny line there. The drink you have to have a garter belt.
Starting point is 00:48:38 Good line. And then OP, from New York City, man. We like to have grapefruit and a beer. I'm like, okay, we got it. I'll be, life's a little different in Manhattan. We got it. I don't fuck him. I don't even understand how he's a thing.
Starting point is 00:48:55 I don't, and I'm, I just don't get it. Well, the answer, the short answer is Anthony Cumia, Jim Norton. Get it, and he had funny people around him. That's the short answer. There's more to it than that. But this is, he references getting fired from serious XM.
Starting point is 00:49:15 And I thought, again, I can't believe it. I'll rehash it quickly, because I don't want to, I've already talked about this. But what he's blaming for his firing is all off like Carl used to bring it by the station before we got fired But but I brought I brought it fuck Roland So you probably heard me talk about this Doug Opie got fired because he was filming his coworker shitting it his phone up over the stall filming him shitting Roland he was filming his coworker shitting. He had his phone up over the stall, filming him shitting. Rowan being, you know, a normal person,
Starting point is 00:49:49 wow, I don't know how normal it is, but didn't appreciate that went to HR. They fired OP because that's just illegal to do. With that said, with that said, why you're blaming Rowan for this is beyond me. Rowan was the one shitting. Yeah, right fucking fucking man Why was he shitting in the place that I was filming that what was he thinking that I had a cell phone right? Exactly, but the real reason why OP was fired they're looking for any excuse. No one was listening to a show
Starting point is 00:50:17 I am convinced if Howard's certain raped an intern the Howard's certain show would still be on a serious accent They're not gonna fire the show's people are listening to, open-wet to afternoons with Carol Ruiz and Vic Henley, and nobody fucking listened anymore. That's why he was fired for filming someone's shitting. It's not Rollin's fault, it's my point. Alright, so what's the over-under on the time that this podcast is gonna stay a thing? Oh fuck, I need it too. I need this to keep going, dog. Don't do this to me.
Starting point is 00:50:47 I needed to keep trying his hardest and putting out a good podcast. No, all right. Well, I hope he does only for your sake. Other than that, I don't give a fuck. Thank you. Thank you very much. Couple more clips real quick.
Starting point is 00:51:02 Speaking of that, the general announcement is there will be Terence's fried chicken in 10 minutes, and they just put it in the grease fresh for us. We'll explain that for the newbies out there. Explain that for the newbies, Doug. Yeah, please do. Please explain that.
Starting point is 00:51:16 All right, let me explain this. You want me to explain fried chicken, okay? All right, all right. They just put chicken in a fryer, and in 10 minutes, it will be cooked, and ready for you to eat. For the newbies out there, that's what we're doing. And first off, this is a fucking terrible premise for a show.
Starting point is 00:51:32 Listening to people eat food is the fucking worst thing you could do on a show. It's not even listening to people prepare for 10 minutes to eat food. And then eat the food. And then literally when the chicken comes out, and you hear Opie going Mmm, this was really good of core of course it. It's amazing. I know who gives a fuck
Starting point is 00:51:51 But coming back next week on dopey radio dopey orders of pizza and we listen to the wait Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if that's true It could be a whole episode of just Opie and Uber Eats. Like, still preparing my meal. All right, well, we'll check back in a few minutes. Explain that to the newbies. Explain that to the newbies out there. Don't understand what preparing a meal means. The people that aren't eating,
Starting point is 00:52:15 this is for the people in, where's the Ethiopia? I think they're staying all the half food there. I'm not sure. That seems to be what people say about Ethiopia. There's not a lot of food there. Two more clips and then we'll move on. For the first time since I've been listening to Opie, they all have a sudden break into the show
Starting point is 00:52:35 and it's this overly produced Westwood one radio style break. Here's what this sounds like. Actually, I've saved a life, I've heard. Save my life. That's what we do with save lives. That's gonna be our new U-Mine slogan. Fried chicken saving lives. Hold on we're coming right back to the Big Apple Barbecue. Lots of amazing guests throughout this
Starting point is 00:52:54 special live event and of course Chef Carl will introduce us to some real red neck. I mean ladies and gentlemen with that old Southern charm. That's a morning zoo shit. They cut in with this produced bit and I think literally my first thought was holy shit OP has advertisers. There is a business model here. There is a reason why he works for Westwood one. I'm expecting Blue Apron to come on and fucking stamps.com whatever the fuck else is advertising. Casper mattress whatever whatever is advertising, I've got podcasts.
Starting point is 00:53:28 But no, it was way f**ker than that. The reason why they break it is that they have to transition to this. issues with OP's new recording device but hang in there with us for this segment and everything else comes to gear the quite nicely. Thank God for smartphones. OP radio. Alright Carl, we're still here. My stupid podcast equipment just crapped out and we got Gary wants to tell one more story. Well, this is a story about a speech impaired midget, okay? He won the lottery. You thought it was bad before when he just had
Starting point is 00:54:08 as one mic. Now he's using the mic on his fucking iPhone to record a podcast in the middle of Mississippi. Replay that if you would. If you listen to the background, I am positive you hear the end word. All right, Carl, we're still here. My stupid podcast equipment just crapped out and we got Gary wants to tell one more story. Well, this is a story about a speech impaired midget. Okay. He won the lottery. I heard it. It was right after he said, midget.
Starting point is 00:54:39 Yeah, I heard that. All right. Sweet, I'll zoom in on that in post. We'll get that. We'll get that figured out. Speech impaired, midget. Okay. Wow, good hearing over there, Doug. I am like an N word detective. You are. You're the N word kid. Voted mostly like this. Pick up on the N word. Anything to take this piece of shit down. Could you imagine Doug, you and I are podcasting, if in the middle of it, I went, oh shit,
Starting point is 00:55:09 my computer just shit the bed. All right, let's just pick back up. Oh, who dog? Or go back on the W-O-T-P. So, what were you saying about Paul Pals' first one? Max Dickens. What? It's fucking unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:55:25 You can't make this shit up. Opie went from having a giant studio in serious sex. Actually, at one point, he was a K-Rock and serious ex-town. And they would do two shows on the same day. They broadcast from one place, walk over to the other, do another show. He was at the fucking top of the world. And now he's talking to his iPhone to pig farbers in Mississippi. You can't make this shit up, it's unbelievable.
Starting point is 00:55:49 All right, I'm ready to move on. I'm sorry, that went on longer than I expected it to. Yeah, I'm good. I'm good. Let's talk about Comtown. So Nick Mullen, the host of Comtown, I assume it's because we've been getting a lot more subscribers and people
Starting point is 00:56:06 picking up on us after Anthony Cumia and Jim and Sam and the sub-routids have been talking about it quite a bit. So they just realized that we had done an episode about Comtown, Andy and I did back in November. So I went and listened to the latest Comtown episode and this is nothing short of amazing. I want to bring up that I guess it was like months ago, but I didn't even see it that is a podcast. Oh my god. So what are these podcasts? Oh, yeah, yeah, they review podcasts. It was hilarious. They listen are and it's these two like I guess I'm assuming like Gen X or Midwest guy I guess I'm assuming like Jan X or Midwest guy. Yeah, like 48 year old guy.
Starting point is 00:56:46 Yeah, from what I can get, like you can hear the soft hits under their flannel shirt and their curved brim baseball caps. Just waiting to make Pearl Jam and cling on reference. Yeah. That's fucking amazing. I want it. You're an egomaniac, aren't you? I am.
Starting point is 00:57:08 If people are going to fucking call me a Pearl Jam fan on the show, I will play it on my show for sure. I also, I want the description of the tits hitting your flannel. That's brilliant. Here is them again talking about what we did to their show. If every episode of the show could just be chopped up and add their commentary to it, that would be the best podcast. It's just listening them, saying that most retarded shit, then clipping it.
Starting point is 00:57:41 So even stuff that in context sounds retarded. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You take even that away. Yeah. And it's like, I'm trying to go to the bathroom in my ass. And they're like, 200,000 people download the show. I don't understand it. There's no enemies. My favorite part is this is a new stinger. I've spent hours crafting to explain my anger at the show That's fucking amazing dog. I Will they're impression of us I don't understand it. It was actually I thought that was you talking It's fucking amazing and I do want to say that one of the things we talked about with come down We were trying to understand it's a feel we We really were. And I'd mentioned that at the time their Patreon was making them $250,000 a year. It is up
Starting point is 00:58:32 to $417,000 a year now, and in a few months at a pass since then. This fucking show is huge. So yes, I am an ego maniac. That's why I'm playing these clips, dog. It's so. Is it a good show? I can't tell. Did you hear that bit right there? Is I gonna go to the bathroom in my ass? If you think that's a funny joke, then yes, the show is amazing.
Starting point is 00:58:56 All right, I'll have to check them out. I can't tell. They get into, I don't know if they're at war with the ONA subreddit, because the open Anthony subreddit is going after this guy, Adam, who's on their show and, and ripping on him quite a bit. So they talk about what's going on with that sub, and I just wanted to play this clip because there's a lot of people from the sub who listen to our show. This is the only, the recipe.
Starting point is 00:59:21 The recipe. The recipe. The black people have, listening to Come Town. Yeah. And the the opian Anthony subreddit is trying to take that away from them So fuck that because they worship an honor Anthony Cumia Who the for my understanding is they love And agree with dude, it's so funny. You were so right about it. They literally hate everyone were so right about it, they literally hate everyone. Why you listen to the, honestly, that's what the entire internet should be.
Starting point is 00:59:48 I think there's honor. I love it so much. Yeah. It's like, you go there and it's like, there is a nice absolutely everything Jim Norton does. They're like, look what fucking shrimp dummy tried to eat a sandwich on his porch the other day. All right, this is inside baseball for not, you know, can I touch it? What's going on? I'm not going to check that show out.
Starting point is 01:00:11 But to me, this is fucking hilarious because they're exactly right. The O&A subreddit used to be this place where everyone who hated OP would go and rip on OP and we're all, come by, we're all in on it. Now they fucking hate everyone. They hate Jim Norton, they hate Anthony. They just hate everyone involved in the show, and these guys are ex-anti, right? Like, what, why are we even a group anymore? What are we doing?
Starting point is 01:00:32 We hate everything about the show. All right, after that, Doug, they get back into talking about my favorite topic, W-A-T-P. So, I apologize that these bits are a little bit long, but I was just fucking cracking up laughing last night when I heard this. Yeah, emptying the soft serve machine into my own ass. I love that that is an element of Chinese buffet. That was the thing they're complaining about on that boy, what are these podcasts?
Starting point is 01:01:00 They're like, every joke is just something going into somebody's ass. Yeah, they've played like a five second clip of my podcast where I just talked about who stand up or my put yeah, my stand up. Yeah. Um, and they're like, yeah, this is so funny. It's like, well, you can imagine what their stand up would be and it's Adam on stage doing that. They were just says a word a million times. Yeah, he says people caught. I got a boo. I got. Which is like, just objectively, it's bullshit. Yeah, I think it's a real way to do standing. I think it's very funny.
Starting point is 01:01:29 We know, yeah. They obviously listen to our show and thought a lot about our criticisms because they keep bringing up over and over again throughout this episode. These little things that they talk about trigger them, like, yeah, you know, that's the only thing those fucking assholes we're talking about, how we make jokes about putting things in your ass all the time. And I thought this was really funny because Doug, you know me a little bit now
Starting point is 01:01:52 that we've been doing some shows together. Yeah. They've decided that the reason why I don't like their podcast come down, and we did talk a little bit about this, is the fact that they don't follow the correct rules of podcasting. Yeah, and the other thing they were like, okay, first of all,
Starting point is 01:02:06 they don't see their names at the beginning of the podcast. They don't say, hey, they don't say welcome to the podcast. You have no idea who these guys are. What's going on? And then they're like, and in my guess today, Andy. Yeah. And the guys like, damn, back. Who is this?
Starting point is 01:02:23 Both of these guys sound like they've been waiting for something to do since Blockbuster closed. That was funny. So I did a stop laugh, a super cut. Uh-huh. It sounded better than the soundboardy. Yeah, it sounded pretty good. I mean, to be fair, I do feel bad for people like that. They're like, I followed all their rules and I'm still not successful. Yeah. And they're like, followed all the rules and i'm still not successful they're like he's working like a homer Simpson their friend grimes they don't have a song they got that we didn't have a song at the beginning which we did guess what if i didn't want to get to here's a song
Starting point is 01:02:58 so come i think because i'm gay nice let me fuck your ass. Oh Oh my god, I that was a really funny show. What they're doing this Midwestern or Minnesota accent for us That's their takeaway from our show Hey there. Hey there. These guys aren't following the rules there Why aren't we successful? That's the only thing I get a shit ton of things People tell me that I make fun of other podcasts because I'm jealous of their success. Doug, I wanna tell you, because I think you might believe me.
Starting point is 01:03:32 I don't give a fuck if I'm down to success. Well, I'm very happy for these guys. I'm not jealous. I'm not doing one success. I really think that you are. You root for people. I do. You just do it in a little underhanded type of way.
Starting point is 01:03:46 Well, I hope that we're all in on the joke, but apparently we were not in on the joke because according to the subreddit, all of the jokes that we pulled out from Compton were not jokes, they were jokes about jokes. So we didn't understand, it's almost like the matrix. They're like, well, they talk about jokes about things that went up your ass because that's not funny. Comedy Inception. Right.
Starting point is 01:04:11 Comedy Inception. It's a joke, it's a joke, it's a joke, it's a joke. So I guess we didn't get it at the very end of the Compton podcast. They once again, reference our show, which is great. Good for you, but. And that's, you know what? A lot of people may say I'm bad at podcasts.
Starting point is 01:04:28 And that this show is aimless and for mental retires. And then we don't have theme music or jokes. We don't say, say welcome. There's no point in you don't say welcome. But guess what Andy? We just stumped the thing. Yeah, that fucking dumbass, Jeannieannie that's stupid Jeannie my space quiz I will say that most of the things that the come boys which are their fans have said to me are all the things that they heard on the podcast
Starting point is 01:04:58 So they're just being told why we suck and then coming to me and be like yeah You guys suck because you care whether they say their names or not okay that's what that's what they said here's a post on the subreddit I fucking by the way this has a hundred and thirty-six upvotes I fucking love when Taylor was hax decide they want to make a podcast and spend all their time on production and writing theme songs and making segments and finding a theme just to find out they aren't funny people and they did all their work for nothing. I've never been described as a guy who spends way too much time on production or writing theme songs. That's surprising.
Starting point is 01:05:34 Yeah, I do what I mean. I've described you in several ways, known each other and that's never been one of them. Yeah, he's putting way too much effort into his show. It's never been a critique of W-A-T-P. That's your fucking problem. You're putting too much time into this. Like, uh, no, never heard that one. All right, so that was a lot of fun. Love the Come Boys, and I really appreciate those guys calling us out.
Starting point is 01:05:57 Doug, this is something you might be able to relate to. You're familiar with that group on Facebook, that podcast we listen to group. I am. Yeah. So you know that we had some shit go down months ago. I'm aware with that group. They're not, they're not thrilled of what we do over here at WATP. I think I think they griped that you spend so much time on production That's exactly what their problem is So like if you would just stop producing the show and come with a joke we'd listen to it. I
Starting point is 01:06:32 Got a note from Casey. I just thought this was interesting because this is still going on and I had no idea I just got banned from the podcast. We listened to Facebook group at first I asked if anyone listens to WATP and why no one ever talks about it in the group. My post was immediately shut off from receiving comments from a power hungry admin when another user asked me for a link to the show. Then I posted a screenshot of the interaction and said, wow, we can't even talk about it and they blocked me. Fucking cry babies. And it sent me a screen grab of the fact that that she's blocked on here so these guys are just shutting down any type of
Starting point is 01:07:10 speech about us anything that's a deal with w a tp guys really is that where we're at you are the podcast we do not mention yes I'm he shall not be named for some reason is it really that fucking bad? Are we that terrible? Because we didn't like fucking that one goddamn show about some missing person? Fuck me, man. Oh, Doug, I feel bad. Cause you go on your show and you kind of drive
Starting point is 01:07:37 the conversation and then you play off Anthony and everything and then you come on here and you just listen to me fucking babble out of that. Yeah, but it's nice for me. I don't I don't know if anybody else gives a fuck, but I enjoy coming on here. I listen to you babble. You know what? Yeah, I know. I feel bad because you could be driving it yourself and I had a whole agenda today with all the shit that's been going on this week and you know Johnny, Papa Georgia, Joe Joe and all these things that we've been talking about. Hold on, did I get to Jake Steffanopolis? Because I had that one in the dark.
Starting point is 01:08:13 Could you go back through the list again? I just want to hear all the different iterations you had. You came up with. The last thing, go ahead and play my YouTube clip. You'll get where I was going to go with it, but. Oh, you must be lost. This is Mr. Papa Georgia. His name is not Papa Georgia. His name is Rusty Griswold. He's a C++ student. How the fuck did you find Papa Georgia? I've got a memory man. That's amazing.
Starting point is 01:08:39 You heard Papa Georgia you went, I know that. That's the scene in, is that European vacation? Or is that the... Vegas, Vegas, Vegas. Oh, Vegas vacation. Holy shit. Deep poll. Fuck. All right, Doug. So we talked about this Papa's basement. We talked about the come-down boys. We did our OP segment. We talked about podcasts. We listened to. It's been been a lot so I think it's time for Yeah, I gotta get the fuck out here. Germany's playing Sweden in a half an hour. This is this is a big game So Doug like World War three or something. I mean, yeah, it's fucking talking. It's something like that. So Doug, this is a clip of the show that W-A-T-P will be reviewing next week.
Starting point is 01:09:31 It's just a quick tease to get you excited about what we'll be talking about. We're gonna move on from pop is based and we'll never speak of it again. And instead we'll be talking about this. But, you know, I can say that I just- Have you read in the restaurant at Berkdorf's? I don't think so.
Starting point is 01:09:47 There's a restaurant on the ninth floor that is, it's very, you know, everybody goes up there because it's kind of Tony and very chic. It's kind of, I mean, the food's okay, but it's kind of brilliant to sort of go up there. Kind of like the Barney's here, where we went for lunch that way here in LA. Remember when we had lunch at Barney's?
Starting point is 01:10:06 I do not. Lola, Rue, I just called you Lola. Rue, you and I went to lunch at the Barney's in Beverly Hills. As Barney's not in the memory. And we saw famous people. Okay. So it's probably that same feel.
Starting point is 01:10:20 Yes. Is that a vapid conversation? Make it stop. This is Rupal, what's the tea with Michelle Visage? And we're going to be listening to episode 155 featuring our old friend Lena Dunham. And this is recorded on June 13th of 2018. So this has all the elements that we love about podcasting. Celebrities who shouldn't be podcasting. RuPaul, we have talking about other celebrities that they once saw at a restaurant. It's going to be nonstop excitement. I can't wait for this episode. Am I selling this well?
Starting point is 01:10:58 De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De- De celebrities name dropping, steelist celebrities is something that I want to fucking hear. I can't wait! What there won't be any of is kidding around fun jokes. There will be none of that. I could promise you. Some red neck in a pig field y'all in the end word. That will not be part of this. This show is going to make OP radio sound like the funniest show ever produced.
Starting point is 01:11:23 This came in as a suggestion from a listener and a listener named Jennifer who said, I can't believe you'd get rid of your theme song just because some dickless bandwagon jumpers talk shit. That was the only redeeming quality of this entire show. And then goes on to give us some suggestions including RuPaul who says, it hits on many of your favorite tropes of poor broadcasting, rambling, vapid conversation, mouth noises, speaking transitioning like they're on a local talk radio, et cetera.
Starting point is 01:11:52 And the last thing that she wrote is, this is funny. Don't let the buzz from the OP episode get to your head. Soon enough, you'll be back to receiving hate mail and having an internet army of the morally righteous try to get you fired and That is exactly correct. We will be right back down to earth Very quickly as soon as the fucking Twitter army decides to get me fired again, which is a lot of fun Yeah, that's a good time. I love that. Oh great stuff Doug
Starting point is 01:12:23 Let's talk about the Who's Right Podcast. What's new with you guys? Ah, so we got a new sponsor. Oh yeah. We have merch.com. Okay. I don't know why you're not over there. So when you're selling your wares.
Starting point is 01:12:36 I don't know why everybody wears to sell. It would be probably the biggest reason, but there might be others. You interested in getting your logo on a t- for the, uh, yeah, probably not. All right. Uh, could you imagine? I, I think I'd have to have my logo on there with someone that just says this podcast
Starting point is 01:12:56 fucking sucks. I hate them. So I'm going to be able to sell any of them back when we first met before when, when I found out that you were going to review our show. Yes. Um, I revamped your logo and then sent it to you as like a, uh, almost like an insurance policy that you weren't going to shit all over us. I don't know if you remember that or not.
Starting point is 01:13:14 I don't. I get to go back and take a look at that. Yeah. Uh, you never, you never thanked me or referenced the fact that I did it and then proceeded to shit all over us. That's my M.O. man. That's kind of how we roll over here. So go to who's right podcast.com, we have merch.com.
Starting point is 01:13:34 And I heard that you might be appearing, I don't know if we're supposed to talk about it or not, but somebody that we both know reached out to you for an interview. Yes, that is true. Howard Stern can't wait to get me on the show. Branding on coming on. So brand X podcast. John from Brand X reached out to me and I'm game. He's had some disparaging things to say about me in the past, including
Starting point is 01:13:58 threatening violence on me. I think he was going to stick a digit up your butt or something. Yeah, he was going to drive from Philly to Rochester. I don't know if to reimburse him for the gas money or how that works, but yes. I said, if you're on an ass-kicking mission, I only paid 15 cents a mile. So that's up to you. You're gonna take that up with the IRS, man.
Starting point is 01:14:16 I'm not fucking re-enbursing you the whole 52.5 cents. Yeah, so John reached out and I did say that I'd be game for it, but I don't think we've said anything up yet, but that would be, that would be fun. Yeah, I would, I would be interested in listening to chat, but I don't think anybody else is, it listen, interesting, listen to us chat about you talking to somebody else. So I'm gonna get the fuck out of here.
Starting point is 01:14:37 Sounds good. I do want people to not just go to who's right podcast.com, but just subscribe. Go through your favorite podcasting app. Find this guy's show, subscribe to it. Give him a couple plays, it'll grow on ya. Doug, thanks again for coming on the show. We really appreciate you being here. Always have a good time rolling with ya.

Not from the show, granted. I thought you had a clip to the show before him. I appreciate that. And pulling that clip too, that was amazing. Not from the show, granted.
