You W-A-T-P! Hello and welcome to another episode of Who Are These Podcasts. The young me show that doesn't understand why jokes that are purposely unfunny are ironically
Starting point is 00:00:37 funny. I'm your host, Kara, with me this week is Andy's brother Joe! Hey, good to be back, Kara. Well, all my fans have been wondering where I've been it's the only tweets we got as far as Joe I'm glad to be back over and over and all the charisma back to the show I'd like to remind our listeners that you can visit us and who are these comm leave us a voicemail 5a 5 612 1388 email the show w at gmail.com give us a five star review on iTunes and then share
Starting point is 00:01:05 us in the comments section. We have a lot of new reviews to go over. We have a lot of backlash from the Hollywood Handbook. Really? Podcasts that we have to go through. Yeah, the fans of Hollywood Handbook are not fans of ours. So we'll be going over all of that. But before that, we'll be reviewing a podcast called Congratulations with Chris D'Alea,
Starting point is 00:01:29 speaking of backlash. This was a suggestion that came in from a listener name GY. Joe and I have both listened to the show separately. We have not discussed it with each other beforehand, even though we wanted to. We wanted to get into it. Now's the time. We've held off long enough.
Starting point is 00:01:45 So this is a podcast with a stand-up comedian, very well-known, starting sitcoms. He's a celebrity. And he sits in front of a camera and does the show by himself. Did you watch it on video or did you just watch the, or listen to the pod? I started watching on video last week when we picked the show, but for the purpose of actually listening to the show and pulling clubs I just listened to it. Yeah I listened to it just because I was working so I just listened to it but then I was like I got to go back and what at least I watched a little bit of
Starting point is 00:02:15 a different episode because I'm like I got to figure out what's actually occurring here. What did you figure out? What is occurring here? He's putting in the most minimal effort. They throw him in a corner and on a single camera. And it's just, you're looking at him for an hour. I don't get it. He has a mobile app that you can download. Yeah. To watch it live. Yeah, I didn't understand that.
Starting point is 00:02:37 And there's a watch my show live. Right. Because there's a mobile app. The problem with him having a live show is that there's a ton of that air. Yeah. It's carbon. Yeah, yeah. All right. We'll's a ton of that air. Yeah, it's. Yeah, yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:02:46 We'll play you the clip that sums up the show for me. Yeah. This is a little bit, a little ways into the show. He's coming back from a bed of live reads. He does like three or four commercials in a row. And now he's going to come back into his show and just. For the purpose of today's podcast, Joe,, I'm just gonna hold my finger up. If I'm holding my finger up, I mean,
Starting point is 00:03:07 it's still going. Oh, yeah, yeah, I know. So don't start talking. There's so much down there, it's hard to tell. Right. If it's still going. Listen to this clip. I just think, you know, I just think that,
Starting point is 00:03:24 I just think that you got it. Figure out the way you figured out. It's alright dude, who cares is my fucking computer? I get an email. It reminds me of the bit I did on my fucking new special coming out. I wonder what I'm gonna call it. I don't know what I'm gonna call it yet. On Netflix, they want me to fucking title it. Ah, man.
Starting point is 00:03:47 Loving it, loving it. Loving it, loving it. What is this garbage? How do they have a podcast? This is bullshit. Yes, body. You are 100% correct. I mean, well, I know that clip overlap, you know, is always a problem. But I think like we will address similar topics. I for my summary of the show, I said sometimes the end of the show can, you know, just do is everything. You know, so my end is the summary of the show. Put a bullet in it is my clip one. Um, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:04:32 But that's it man. I don't really have too much fucking other shit to talk about. I guess that's about it. Is this up? Are we ready to do this? I'm glad you pulled that clip. I didn't because at that point I was so bored with the fucking dead air and nothingness. I got enough of it. I have enough examples. It sums it up.
Starting point is 00:05:01 Maybe it really sums up the whole show, really. Well, let me play for you. He starts talking about family guy And I'm I do want to say this I want to say this early and often doing the show by yourself is hard I don't get it. I don't know. I wouldn't do it. I don't know. Okay. Can we back up just a little bit? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I want to set it up just a little bit So I guess for people who don't know who Chris DeLia is. Oh, okay, right? So want to set it up just a little bit. So I guess for people who don't know who Kristalia is. Oh, okay. Right, so we have to go back just a little bit.
Starting point is 00:05:29 They don't W-A-T-P, but they don't know Kristalia. I like the way you think, Jim. Maybe, Kristalia is an actor, comedian, and a podcaster. Yeah, wow. He's two of those things. So I liked him. You guys mentioned Whitney, which is where I first saw him And I like and I like Whitney. I watch Whitney with my wife. I liked it. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:52 Undatable. It was another show that he was on the thing about that I liked about undatable and I don't think that Kristalia is the the one I would give credit to this But they made a very conscious effort to do live shows. And it went out of their way to make sure you knew it was live. I read that on their wiki page that this was to doing live shows. I don't watch any primetime television. I don't know how you do it.
Starting point is 00:06:14 I watch it on Hulu. But it's not the point. Yeah. I don't know how you watch sitcoms. But it's fucking garbage. Yeah. It's for middle America. But so they would.
Starting point is 00:06:22 They it was very interesting. At least this live thing They would do like flashback and somebody would have to like run into another part of the studio and then come running back in and At least there there was effort there was effort there and I respected the effort. Okay I watched both of his Netflix specials in preparation good you did I was even done by Fred last night, Joe will do more prep for this show than I will. And I think you're the only host that comes on
Starting point is 00:06:53 more prepared than I am. I've never seen this guy tell a joke about this. Yeah, yeah. I am a huge fan of Santa Comet. I go see comedians all the time. I have no interest in this guy. I've never seen him tell a joke. Is he a funny,off comedian? It is my, it's not my cup of tea specifically. And what I was very
Starting point is 00:07:12 conscious of doing here is I did not want to come on here and be like, he's not funny. Yeah, I don't get it. I didn't, I didn't want to do any of that. I assume he's a good standoff. I'm assuming that because he's very famous. What it is, he's a fast hawker. It reminds, it's reminiscent of Robin Williams who I also was not a huge fan of, but it's like very manic and high energy reminds me of Dame Cook, reminds me of Robin Williams. And then he does a lot of kind of like these like stances and like voices and stuff. And so also reminding me a little of George Carlin.
Starting point is 00:07:52 But. Alright Joe, I know this is the Joe show and I apologize that I'm co-hosting with you this week. Anyway, but I want to get into this thing. We start talking about family guys. Yeah, go ahead. Cause you cut me off to talk about when you watching Netflix.
Starting point is 00:08:04 Okay, okay. I need to back up. You're back. I want you to know that I'm not coming on here to just crush him. Nobody is. That's something called WATP. Right. We give. I don't hate Crystalia. I don't either. Yeah. His podcast is garbage though. Mm-hmm. He starts talking about family guy. And he sets this up. Dude, I was watching family guy the other night. It's so funny it's It's act family guys funny show on TV I I thought it was maybe alone together that shows so fucking funny, but dude family guy is So funny man, nope
Starting point is 00:08:42 Okay, so he says to stop he says family guy is the funniest show on TV and A lot of people like family guy myself included You think he's gonna talk about they did this bit where Stewie said to Brian. You know, you think he's gonna like get into why it's so funny Mm-hmm. So this is him elaborating on family guy being so funny the jokes that they have It's like dang it a dang it a dang it a dang it a dang it a They never stop joking dude. Okay. All right. Well, I've seen family guy who's seen a lot of episodes
Starting point is 00:09:15 I know that what is it specifically about family guy that's so funny Chris like and can you help us out here But it's no why you like this show so much family guy dude. God I watch this episode Fucking it's so funny what Peter Griffin is the funniest character on TV and in history dude His stupid laugh and his fucking I Can't do I have the worst memory of all time I get dude I have the worst memory of all time I have a worst I have the worst memory of all time I forget what I'm talking about when I'm talking about It we're gonna get on this fucking podcast though dude
Starting point is 00:10:06 We're gonna get on this podcast that was was his wrap up on the family guy, Saga. The character, there's really funny. I really enjoy that show. That's not a podcast. This is my problem with this podcast. He sets up these promises that never pay off. There's no punchlines. Nothing ever pays off on this show. He just brings the shit up that no one can relate to
Starting point is 00:10:22 is uninteresting and then it doesn't go anywhere with them. Yeah, you knocked out to a Mike Clip. Sorry. No, no. It's fine, but like the dead air there is crazy So the other thing that is brought up here. He said funny family guy is the funniest show on TV I thought it was alone together. Yeah I'm like oh alone together. Never heard of it. I don't know, TV. I'll go find it. I watched the first two episodes of the other. Holy shit, Joey. He said it was in one thing.
Starting point is 00:10:50 And you've watched episodes of this. Your prep is amazing. Well, if you say it's the funniest show on TV, I want to find out. Right. By the way, Rick and Morty is the funniest show on TV. Right. I want to point out, I wasn't really getting this yet, Joe.
Starting point is 00:11:03 Hang on, Carl. Let me finish what I was saying, though together 10 minutes in who's on a loan together Kristalia. Yeah, oh So it's just a self-plugged that's all of this is he's just plugging himself That's hard cast is all a money grab for advertising Plugging his tours hold on. I know. I know you got a lot to say There's a review that came in on August 29th from Craig Kaye. I'm gonna get into the reviews later but you saying this just triggered me.
Starting point is 00:11:31 Unfunny, one star and then he writes lazy too. Lazy, Joe is fucking watching a shitty sitcom. Just because this guy brought it up real quick during his show. You tell me that's fucking lazy I mean, we're not Joe Rogan, but give us some credit on that front. Yeah, I'm doing my research You are man. You are you are putting in the prep. I want it. Let's just run through My my two through two through five. Okay, and they're quick, I think a lot of times I like slamming people online If they say negative stuff about me, and I'll search my name, even not just the tags, and I'll slam them back, because I have a great day doing it, because it's fun for me. Okay, hang on one second. You've taken your fair share
Starting point is 00:12:16 of shit doing this podcast, so I don't think that you're unaware that people might be trying to you are unaware that people might be trying to set us up for essentially an attack. I'm going to set Carl up to get in a Twitter war with Chris D'Alia. So he is kind of like notoriously, a lot of what I've seen, he's just like, I love doing it. I love going on Twitter, searching myself, and then attacking the people that attack me. I hate it. Yeah. Well, these fucking idiots out there, I don't know why Tattletails get off on this thing.
Starting point is 00:12:50 There's some guy. I mean, there's some guy or Gail in our hometown of Rochester who's sending clips to Brother Weez and getting him all pissed off at me. You know what this guy was saying about you Weez? Like, nobody would have known about this. Now I got to, now I'm supposed to go on a show with weasel and debate him about shit like, I'm gonna run a channel town.
Starting point is 00:13:09 Just wait a minute, he'll just enjoy the show. That's true, I can't wait. Anyway, so I think this is somebody's attempt to fucking set us up, but who gives a fuck anyway? Because, you know, cause play three. The only thing I stand for is like, say what you want in a funny way and like don't be offended. If you're offended, then that's your problem. All right, I'm done with that. I agree.
Starting point is 00:13:32 Okay, four sounds like our mission statement. I complain in a funny way. That's what I do. Correct. And then five I agreed with. But all I want to do is fucking laugh, man. All I want to do is laugh. Okay. So I like all that. So all I want to do is fucking laugh, man. All I want to do is laugh. Okay. So I liked all that. So all of that to just be like, he's saying a lot of things that I agree with here. And then, so we kind of talked about, I said like Robin Williams and things like that to me.
Starting point is 00:13:58 This is, six is, like reading through your notes. You go, oh, see, I said Robin Williams. I mentioned this. I came prepared, Carl. Yes, you did. So six to me sums, if you don't know, if you've never seen his stand-up, like you have it. And if you're unfamiliar, six epitomizes,
Starting point is 00:14:17 who he is, in my opinion. Dude, when they bring Chalula or Tapatigio, even though you ask for fucking Tabasco, and they bring Tapatigio, dude, that's bullshit. Tapatikyach, I don't want fucking tapatikyach because I asked for, I asked for, uh, uh, what do you call it? The fucking Tabasco, dude. Is that what his standup is like? That over-enunciation on the words,
Starting point is 00:14:48 that repetitiveness, what's funny. He's like very repetitive. He's just like, I'm gonna wear this shit out. I'm gonna wear it out till you're sick of it. And then I'm gonna wear it out until it's funny again. Or that's the idea. No one here likes family guy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:01 And you know what? Sometimes it works. I've actually been like coming a little, like some of his and shit like he does this thing on Cubans at one point that I found funny. Well, you are a racist. I can see why you enjoy that. Well, they're saying before we get off of that Tabasco thing. Yeah, Tabasco sauce is the world's worst hot sauce. It's red colored vinegar. Yeah, it's not hot sauce. There's nothing hot about vinegar. It's not hot sauce. There's nothing hot about it. It's there's nothing flavorful about it. It's fucking garbage. And this guy goes up in this rant. Talking about one of my favorite hot sauces, Chalula. Oh, it's not- these people bring me Chalula. I went to basketball. Then you're an asshole.
Starting point is 00:15:38 Can I hear the idiot? Can I admit something to you, Mario? Oh no. So, you're wetting, you gave away Chalula. I did. I filled my fucking pockets with Chalula. I did. I filled my fucking pockets with Chalula. Was there any? Was there any love? No. That was our wedding favor was Chalula. I got whiskey drunk. Filled my pockets with Chalula and went home and fell down the stairs. I did the same thing after my wedding. So that's good. Yeah. I don't I didn't understand that whole rant that he goes on. I understand you want what you want and don't bring me something else.
Starting point is 00:16:07 I understand that. And I talk about the fact that this guy, I call this track hot takes. Because what this guy does is he sets up things. This is like, crystal is hot takes. He sets up all these things. No one can relate to and has zero pay off. But he's going through his phone, right?
Starting point is 00:16:23 Is that what he's doing? I watched the video with things. I swear he's like, you know what he's doing? What is he doing? He's doing another hour, Carl. Exactly! This is all nothing. It's just nothing.
Starting point is 00:16:37 I feel like this is set up to future bits and maybe it'll work. Or maybe it won't. That sort of seems like to me. It sounds like he's coming up with the premises. One day maybe getting to his act, but he has no payoff for them. So this is a compilation I put together
Starting point is 00:16:51 of just the randomness of crystal-y as hot takes. I like Tabasco sauce, dude. But dude, family guy is so funny, man. You know what I was thinking about, actually, you know who would win for, to win, who would win for to win who would win President say who would win the fucking presidency if he ran is Joe Rogan dude Here's you know what movie I never want to go see any movie that where there's too much brown in it
Starting point is 00:17:14 I feel like color really took off in like the fucking 60s Oh man I know a guy that look like Beethoven once and it was fucking all I could think of. Michael Douglas looks so much like my grandma Carmella in that fucking movie. It's unreal, dude. I don't like basketball. I don't like, I don't like anything for me that distracts me from being myself, right? We all want what we want, but we don't want what we don't want, dude. I fucking, this is the shit I think about all day. All day. I'll spend fucking 20 minutes thinking about how I could get a grandma
Starting point is 00:17:56 in a Vin Diesel movie and have Vin Diesel not be in it. All day, bro. That's the podcast in the nutshell. Well, yeah, you've tagged, yeah, I'm sorry. I mean, that's pretty much how I talk in the show. I know I picked up on a lot of things. We can go back and leave a little way. Yeah, we can go back and revisit some of those things. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:13 But I just had to put together that compilation because that's what the show is. It's just random thought. Premise, premise. Premise, premise, premise. Premise, it would be nice. An unfulfilled, like not fleshed out. Right.
Starting point is 00:18:23 I want to point out that doing a show by yourself very difficult. I don't recommend it. No. It would be nice. It would be nice. It would be nice. It would be nice. It would be nice. It would be nice. It would be nice. It would be nice. It would be nice. It would be nice. It would be nice. It would be nice.
Starting point is 00:18:32 It would be nice. It would be nice. It would be nice. It would be nice. It would be nice. It would be nice. It would be nice. It would be nice.
Starting point is 00:18:40 It would be nice. It would be nice. It would be nice. It would be nice. It would be nice. It would be nice. It would be nice. It would be nice. It would be nice. It would be nice. It would be nice. I have a quick example. This is from a recent billbur show. He just gets off on this thing about getting married multiple times He does a quick Google search on the fly and finds out who's been married the most and just starts riffing on it American grandmother Linda Wolfe has become the most married woman in the world. I'm surprised she's not a great grandmother All that cock going into her, huh? After walking down the aisle 23 times
Starting point is 00:19:06 and is now on the lookout for number 24, Mrs. Wolf, 68, is included in the Guinness Book of World Records for the dubious honor of being wed more times than anyone else alive. She must be the first time you're like, hey, could you not put your shoes here? You know what? Go fuck yourself, I'm outta here.
Starting point is 00:19:25 It's over. Are you listening to Crystal-Y? And that's how you pay something off. You're talking about it, and then like, here's the joke. Here's a great set, my son is a great set up. Okay. Oh man, my aunt told me the funniest fucking story. No way, there's no way that happens.
Starting point is 00:19:43 There's no way that happens. Because I haven't heard a single funny story Is that the owner story? Yes, can I play that? This is him cracking himself up It's not it's not funny But he has to do this fake laugh on it like I said though. I don't want to say that it's not fun Some some asshole think it's it's funny. Oh, I'm sure want to say that it's not fun. Some asshole thinks it's funny. Oh, I'm sure some asshole thinks Hollywood hit book is funny.
Starting point is 00:20:09 There's assholes who think that's a sweet ween hat. I didn't think I'd find it. So this is him talking about, he's hanging out with this, when he was a kid, with his friends or something and this is cousin maybe, is younger than him. On the the TV show they used the word boner and he's like man what does boner mean that's the setup he said he walked through the kitchen and was like well mom all the blood's rushing to my penis
Starting point is 00:20:40 blood's rushing to my penis mom oh fuck dude she told me this story. We were crying. I don't know how we didn't hear that story. Blood's Russian, I'm a painless mom. How funny is that, dude? Just little kids. All the blood's Russian, I'm a painless.
Starting point is 00:21:01 I would say it's not funny enough. Those voices. I didn't get a single chuckle from that story. Even though he repeated the punchline eight times. So that makes sense. That's what you're saying. That's what he does. He'll say something that's kind of funny.
Starting point is 00:21:15 He'll say it eight more times. It's supposed to get funny. Well, there's what. I mean, there's people who will do bit, they're like, this is the bit. We're going to do this bit. Whether it's a success or failure, we've got four hours to fill. We're going this is the bit, we're gonna do this bit. Whether it's a success or failure, we've got four hours to fill, we're going to do the bit. And even if it's failing, we're gonna do it.
Starting point is 00:21:32 And I feel like, I'm like, this show does not have to be an hour. Maybe it does, because there's a lot of commercials in there. Is that, so I think there are, because he does, commercial is at the beginning. Yeah. Commercials a half hour in, and then a commercial's Is that so I think they're on because he does ever garbage at the beginning Commercials a half hour in and then it commercials at the end and commercials at the end of the hour I believe from listening to a lot of podcasts like you can't do a commercial read
Starting point is 00:22:00 For X amount of time before the next read or something like I don't think that's the case I don't know it's all promo codes and shit. They just make money and people buy stuff. Well, right. So, I don't know why, but it's like this could benefit. Okay, let's jump to my 15 real quick. Here's why he won't let anybody help him or tell him what to do on the show. He's got something. One fire is like the guy recording the show or something. Somebody in the background.
Starting point is 00:22:24 There's some dude there. And this happens. They never stop joking, dude. What are you doing? It's fine. What do you Oh, an echo? Oh, God, such a fucking, this chair is making noise like a fucking an X-man sonar. One fire is like this chair is making noise. I can tell this chair is making noise. Worst X-man ever dropped out of fucking Professor Xavier's school. Just like Professor Xavier is like We don't really have much use for you You just can hear chairs
Starting point is 00:23:14 He's like I can hear yours it moves Yeah, who cares man nobody's gonna be able to tell at home that the chair So what but but what was I talking about? Fucking what was I talking about before you start moving chairs around, dude? One fire your fuck the dog threw up, you're moving the chair, dude. I'm trying to get on, I'm shit, and I keep having to switch shit because he's just moving chairs around like a fucking lunatic. The one thing you and I talked about before we started recording, everything on the show was clipable. It's all garbage. I mean, the guys just trying to help you.
Starting point is 00:23:50 That was the stuff I clipped around to get to the family guy thing. I took all that out. All right. And you put that in. It's totally clipable. Yeah. That should not be on a podcast. No, take it out. Take the, and the poor guy is just trying to be like, hey, there's weird noises. Yeah. Hey, let me help you. And you know what, this is the reason why he doesn't go, you know, maybe if we did this, you know, maybe here, maybe a billion things that could improve this would help,
Starting point is 00:24:15 because Christel is just gonna be like, you're fucking done with it. See, you know, like what? But not even in a funny way. No, if you can point in a funny way, I'm all for it. But it just is not fun or funny and any When I'm saying it let him help you Chris let him help you also play number nine no ice policy. Here's a compilation of all the ice Strangling That's amazing. That's well done, Joe. Props to you.

I can't believe it. ["Dude's." by Dewey. ["Dude's." by Dewey. ["Dude's." by Dewey.
Starting point is 00:25:47 ["Dude's." by Dewey. ["Dude's." by Dewey. ["Dude's." by Dewey. ["Dude's." by Dewey. ["Dude's." by Dewey. ["Dude's." by Dewey. ["Dude's." by Dewey. ["Dude's." by Dewey.

Starting point is 00:26:34 Dude. Dude. Dude. Dude. Dude. Dude. Dude. Dude. Dude. Dude. And then he said the doucheous thing near the end, they may be so uncomfortable. Somebody was like saying they didn't like my comedy because I was a fucking bro,
Starting point is 00:26:50 which is actually prejudice, because I'm so not a bro. If you know anything about me, like I'm so not a bro. I'm not a frat guy. I'm not, I mean, you guys all know this because you listen to me and you support me and I fucking love you for it.
Starting point is 00:27:04 But like an idiot would see me and be like, oh, that's fucking bro. He's a bro. I'm not. They're just saying that. They're being prejudiced because I'm a tall fucking long haired, broad shoulder to mother fucker, right? Okay? Ugh. We get it, you're woke. You're a feminist. We get it, you're not a bro. I don't, meanwhile you're saying dude and bro, not a stop throughout your fucking show. I can see why someone would get that question. I don't, I just don't know, because like I said, I watched the him interviewed on your mom's house
Starting point is 00:27:36 about the Twitter war that he got in. And he's like, well, I don't like more like so. Did we talk about that? Did we talk about that? Did you watch him interviewed on your mom's house? Oh, I think you, we talked about that. Did we talk about that? You watched him interviewed on your My house. I think you we talked about it beforehand. Yeah, yeah, yeah But he's much more like subdued and laid back and like in the cut and like participating in a group conversation You put him here. I'm like is this like an act like is it a bit?
Starting point is 00:27:58 It's a bit turned on. He's dude like this is his like it's not good It's what he thinks people want I feel I agree. Yeah, he's like, this is his like stage. It's what he thinks people want, I feel. I agree. Yeah. It's not natural. I don't know. There's nothing natural. But sometimes it's like, okay, now you're by yourself.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Maybe this is who you actually are or whatever. And it's just like, you put, like there's your professional, like you, like put out in front of people with people. When now this is you by yourself and you could do whatever you want. I don't, I think this is a bit. I think it is can do whatever you want. I don't, I think this is a bit, I think it is. I don't know, I don't like it. Talk to somebody, get a co-host and talk to them. Well, the other thing he should do, and I think we've touched on this a few times, have some notes, have an idea of what you want to talk about and what the payoff is,
Starting point is 00:28:41 his reading comprehension skills are terrible. What's into this setup? I was reading this story the other day about this guy. I forgot what story it was, but he was, he was, he was, he did something against the law and then he turned himself in. I was reading a story about a guy who did a thing. That's on a podcast! This is okay, this is perfect. What the fuck? So this is where he loses me completely, my number 13. Okay. If you kill someone and they die and they don't know who it is,
Starting point is 00:29:18 you don't turn yourself in because you fucking make that become cancer in you and you die a slow death. That's what happens, man. You were selfish enough to kill somebody. You don't get to be not selfish enough to tell somebody and admit it. I feel better about yourself because you absolved yourself and you started the road to, you know, whatever the fuck.
Starting point is 00:29:38 There's not a single thing correct about that. If you're a murderer, turn yourself in. You don't, keep it to yourself and letting it eat you alive from the inside out. That's not the punishment. Well, that's how psychopaths work. Yes. But when I was on, I don't know, I've mentioned this, and I was on, Anthony Cuminous' show. I think I heard that. Well, I had a fan here for a while. We were watching a video of OJ. And OJ was laughing. He's like, hey, man, I'm a fella.
Starting point is 00:30:07 And he's like, fucking holding all these people. He's loving his life. OJ sits and murdered two people while high-end cocaine. And he couldn't be having more fun right now. So Chris, that scenario, you just, that's not play out the way that you open does. Can I point out some more terrible observations? Here. He throws things out there that no one can relate to.
Starting point is 00:30:32 As a matter of fact, you ever meet two people that are, like, look like each other, and then when you're not with them, you can't think of what one of them looks like because you keep thinking of the other one. What the hell are you talking about? I don't relate to that anyway. And so you have a twin brother. I've never once seen a thought you guys looked the same. Nor have I been like, I can't even picture this other guy now.
Starting point is 00:30:53 You don't start thinking of Andy when you forget what I look like. Oh my god. I only wish Andy was here, but I don't forget what he looks like. So fucking weird. My 14 is another absurd premise that makes no sense. ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha the time. 20th century would have would have been able to you did it to say every decade. So anytime. Any time. Any time. Like movie. And it better said in any time. That's what chicks like. They're like movies that every single time possible. Let me just let me just point out what times those are.
Starting point is 00:31:36 The 1880s. The 1740s. The 1920s. Okay. We get it. Holy shit. We get it. You want to fill an hour. Yeah. Here's you were talking about how he does live reads Right off the bat starts the show with a live read and he's not a good reader Mm-hmm I've already pointed out that his reading comprehension skills are poor He doesn't know what he read or what the point of it was, but listen to him actually read out loud in real time It's adding features so you can only get it's adding features you can only get From a bank and more than a few that you can
Starting point is 00:32:20 Here's another example and this is during the middle of the show when he does more live reads Again, the data error here is definite You know what's great about eating your favorite thing? It's your favorite thing and you're reading it. You know, it's not great getting it and the only and the and the only fast thing That deliver are not what you're craving, okay? AHHHHH! I can't fucking take it! Spongebob is un-listenable! I have three. I don't think we have to go through all of them, but I will just, I'll say,

Now, I'm not talking about the Lakers, the Celtics, the fucking Thundercats, or whatever the fuck these bullshit names are, okay? He did the snort, which show that that was a good line. Just so you guys know, I said Lakers, Celtics, and then Thundercats Which is not an NBA team, but I find it to be a hilarious joke at least he understands the power of three's Unlike fucking rich boss it was just been like the Lakers the Celtics the bulls the Pelicans

Starting point is 00:36:15 This dude is fucking corny. I am not a fan of crystal- You didn't give me the charisma of rap apart at the beginning when I said I was bringing the charisma back, Carl. I was just... You're not charismatic. Sorry, I'm not. That's what I was I was bringing the charisma back. Carl, I was just, you're not charismatic. Sorry. That's what I was looking for.

He makes a quick mention about how he was always in class, never late for school, and he goes,

Starting point is 00:39:04 What's that? What's that? What's that? What's that? What's that? Yes, you're just sitting in front of the camera in your workout clothes, drinking, going through your phone, talking about whatever, it can be better. You know, you like, it should be better. Give your audience who are there to listen to you, give them a little bit more. Even a rich boss is like, do some prep work before you start doing a podcast.
Starting point is 00:39:22 What the fuck? I think it's there Like I said, I wasn't gonna come out here and be like it's not funny. He's not funny Um, it's not funny. I polish it up. I polish it up. It wasn't a fun show to listen to it was surprisingly bad It was not fun to listen to I honestly I got 15 minutes in and I was looking at the counter I'm like, yeah, how much how much is left to this? Yeah, you know, and and I wanted to like it there. I did laugh at a couple of things throughout it. You did?
Starting point is 00:39:48 Yeah, like what? I don't. Give me one of the, the make you're making me so bad thing that he beats into the ground. That's one of the things that was the stupidest story. I know, but I had a cousin you said, so you're making me so mad
Starting point is 00:40:00 and then my brother's doing homework and I was saying that my brother was getting distracted. That was the story. The voice that he says it in with me can be laughed though. Oh, it's just- It's just- He's an earworm guy. He's an earworm guy. Do you like the Brady bunch by any chance? You think that's a funny show? Pork chops and apple shaw.
Starting point is 00:40:20 Okay. Fuck you. People like this show show some people can like things Carl I have no idea Car all right surprise. I'm here to take you down Brother we sent me to take you down which I do have a ton of things to read the comments people waft on our website After we did the Hollywood handbook How much people waft on our website after we did the Hollywood Handbook podcast, it's amazing.
Starting point is 00:40:46 That's a terrible show. I don't know what is. Who these people are. I don't know either. I mean, I wasn't on this show to talk about it. I was into. Go ahead. It was terrible.
Starting point is 00:40:56 And I was embarrassed for the doughboys because I like that show. And to put them through that, I thought was embarrassing. Before I get into that, we do have a new segment on our show now where we come up with alternative names for the podcast that I've listened to. Yeah. Did you do your homework on this? No, but I could, I could, I'm good. Okay. You're right if you go on this.
Starting point is 00:41:16 Yeah, yeah. So I've been told by Twitter to stop doing this segment. It hasn't gone over well. We're going to keep trying. Okay. We're going to keep trying this. Okay. So here are alternative titles to congratulations with Kristalia. My first one I have is hot takes with stupid. Mine is condolences. All right, how about this one?
Starting point is 00:41:37 This American life should end. How about dead air and ice cubes? Dead air and ice cubes is definitely Dead Air and Ice Cubes is definitely a much better description of the show. How about one dope? I didn't come prepared for this. Two points, I have one more. From NPR, it's called Missing Brain.
Starting point is 00:42:00 Alright, let's move on. We did a show a couple of weeks ago reviewing this show called Hollywood Handbook. And I went into it with an open mind. I thought it was going to be funny. It's very popular. It's an ear wolf. I like the... I was excited.
Starting point is 00:42:17 It's all like, oh, dove boys? It'll be good? Dove boys were the guests. So I wanted to like it. I really did. And we didn't like it because what their stick is, they do bad improv comedy on purpose. Like it's purposely not fun or funny.
Starting point is 00:42:33 And let me just play you from the latest episode, a couple examples of that. That's kind of what this is. It's a little bit like Hello from the Magic Tavern in It's a little bit like Hello from the Magic Tavern in a sleep away camp, because this is where the movies go. That is this wildly popular show that everybody likes. This guy going, I got a ah ah and then here's another clip
Starting point is 00:43:08 this show I was listening to from Hallyu and Handbook I'm going back because it's so much backlash that's the one you reviewed. Cracked. It's absolutely 53. I'm going back there's so much backlash you're going you don't get it everyone's telling us we didn't get the jokes and it's over our heads and we're dummies and there's like a weird generational thing going on too. What you don't understand? Millennials are saying you you boomers. Don't understand these jokes. Okay. Yeah, I know Here is them setting up this hilarious promise that goes on forever Of how they're gonna make their vacation a lot of fun And we're in the sun glass hot at the mall forever of how they're going to make their vacation a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:43:49 And we're in the sunglasses hot at the mall. And we've all agreed and you can't say no, that we are basically going to each not be allowed to look in the mirrors. And we're going gonna buy a pair of sunglasses for each other. Crazy. Crazy for fun. Because we're going on vacation. Yeah. You know, so you have to remember the whole vacation.
Starting point is 00:44:13 You can't look at a mirror the entire time or in the ocean. You can't see them on your face. Obviously, you can see the glasses. We're not blindfolded or anything. Yes. But a lot of times, so much of it is about face shape and do the frames compliment your structure. And you could be surprised when you put them on. Yeah. A pair that look great on the shelf or great on your friend on you, they just don't work.
Starting point is 00:44:36 And so you okay, only know what it looks like when everyone gets the voice crap book, then you know, that's right. When you get the voice. Your sunglasses. And we're not trying to be rude. I get that, Carl. Face shape. You know, I would say that these guys face shape is the shape that I'd like to punch in the fucking face. This premise is we're gonna buy ridiculous sunglasses
Starting point is 00:45:00 for each other. You're not allowed to look in the mirror to see what they look like on your face. Who gives a shit? There's always that impossibly far. It's hurt and stars. How does it look on my face shape? I can't fucking take it. So this is the show that is wildly popular, that all these people love.
Starting point is 00:45:19 Let me read you some of the comments. This is from our website. From Leah Formby, she says, you got to be very dim to not get that the Hollywood handbook guys are purposely doing bad improv. That's the crux of the joke for exclamation points. Also, who the fuck doesn't know who Scott Okreman is. Yeah, I crushed Andy for that too. He literally thought of the biggest podcast I've ever heard. You know what Andy thinks other people don't know who's got to. That's what I don't. And you exactly don't see that as he thought. Yeah, I think that's what
Starting point is 00:45:50 people know. Um, what is this? Oh, and such a premium had to create an ads version of Hollywood Handbook because listeners were upset that the paid subscription service provides ad-free content as an incentive to sign up. People are upset when the ads were taken out, absolutely zero listeners fast forward through Hollywood Handbook ads. It's part of the show. And this is something that Kroh's pointed out to me after the fact, because he was on that show.
Starting point is 00:46:14 He went to their sub-reddit, and people were gushing about how funny their ads were. These are people who are purposely saying the dumbest thing possible that's not funny because that's what's funny, that's the joke. In the listeners, I mean, I know, but like, Harman Town, their ads are funny and worked in a lot of the time, I mean, I, baby. Katherine Boe, Bethorene, says, actually it's nice and smart and cool and funny and being
Starting point is 00:46:41 nice. Tim Ru, I love Tim Roo. Actually, Tim Roo says, I am so deeply embarrassed for you all. At least it's some comfort that your bad show will now have to shut down and shame. Because we didn't think Hollywood Handbook was funny.
Starting point is 00:46:58 That's the end of WATP. We had to shut it down. All these people are in from LA, right? They must be. This is like snowflake nation. Yeah. Everything about this is like, it's just fun and uplifting and everyone's having fun. We're all friends.
Starting point is 00:47:13 This is like the, the bronies of podcast fans. This is like my little pony bull shit. Like we're all just friends. Friendship is key. It's love. Fuck you! You guys suck! You wasted my time.
Starting point is 00:47:27 Nick Salt says, The only thing these guys got right is that Compton is indeed funnier than W-A-T-P. Agreed. Jen Buchan says, When someone doesn't understand a joke, they don't usually make a podcast about it and broadcast it to the world. Jokes on you dumb, dumb.
Starting point is 00:47:44 Ooh! Fucking idiots. Eric Erickson. I love this guy. about it and broadcast it to the world jokes on you dumb dumb oh Fucking idiots Eric Erickson I love this guy He writes what a bunch of salty cuts in here this week Laugh my ass off great work. The er They're purposely doing bad improv. Well, congrats to them done. They're great at it. Not funny. Net funny. Thank you, Eric. Thank you for fucking understanding. Here's the problem. Here's the not funny jokes. There's not funny. There's tons more. Go ahead. There's no such thing as bad improv. No. It's like, it's all of this is improv. You can't purposely do bad improv because it's all bad. Matt Hall says,
Starting point is 00:48:23 I can understand not liking the show, but the satire of handbooks. He's been going over your heads entirely. It's like looking at a clown and going, why does this fool paint his face? He looks ridiculous. What's with the enormous shoes? You look absurd.
Starting point is 00:48:38 No one's going to take you seriously looking like that. Matt, thank you. You're exactly right. Clowns fucking suck. There's nothing funny about suck. There's nothing funny about clouds. There's nothing funny about Hollywood handbook. It's a garbage podcast for retards. Here's the funny. If the premise of your... I don't know what I just said. Here's the problem. If the premise of your show is going over my head on a one-off, if I'm coming
Starting point is 00:49:00 in and listening to one show and I don't get it. That's your fucking problem. Well, I agree with that. However, there are shows that I didn't love the first time I listened to them and I've come around on them and understood that. Because you didn't get the premise of it? Come town, I thought was ridiculous. Okay. And now I understand what they're doing and why it's funny.
Starting point is 00:49:22 Hollywood Handbook is not come town. Hollywood Handbook are two idiots saying the dumbest thing possible all the time. I don't get why that's funny. Anyone can do that. Literally, oh, I said literally again, fuck me. Literally anyone can do that. Emerson Brennan says,
Starting point is 00:49:40 wow, listening to this was like overturning a rock. What a bunch of douchebags. Okay. I don't get that. Steve Davis says the premise of the show depends on the existence of better podcasts. You guys can't even get jokes. Let alone tell them. That's bullshit because we've done a ton of shitty shitty shitty podcasts. Mark Molder says, you lost me at nobody likes the improv thing. But I want to review that claim. I too remember a moment in my life
Starting point is 00:50:07 when I didn't get the jewel that is Hollywood Handbook. It was a dark time in my past. Dude, if you like improv comedy, then you're like a boring person. That's a boring thing to enjoy is improv comedy. I know it. I'm leaning into it a bit, but there are like certain improv things that I like, whatever.
Starting point is 00:50:27 Andy Dottor. Not this. Andy Dottor. Not this. Andy Dottor. This is wrong. Hollywood handbook is actually funny, smart, nice, and cool. Andy Dottor.
Starting point is 00:50:35 And being friends. It's really like fucking Brody Nation. Yeah. Well, every pony, you fucking idiots. Let's see. Curtis Lo says, oh no, Curtis Lo is on our side. I won't read that, he's good. These are, this is usually my favorite part of the podcast.
Starting point is 00:50:51 Yeah, right. People hate Anas and are funny about it. These aren't even funny. Like, their comments are adorable. Their show isn't funny and their listeners aren't funny. Their listeners are not funny. Yeah, this is not even funny. Their listeners are not funny. Right. This is not even funny.
Starting point is 00:51:06 You know when it shows funny when you go into the sub-reddit and the people are just fucking mean. Yeah. And they're so mean to everyone. Okay, this show is funny. Yeah. These people get it. These assholes are like, hey guys, it's about being friends and fun.
Starting point is 00:51:18 Maybe even another shot. Yeah, maybe even another shot. One of the fucking things that they talk about all the time is hot dog. There's this Nick Spanamas saysus says hot dog go to the bathroom. I guess that's must be uh, reference to the show. Hilarious hot dog. They got you. Good one. Tom Sprote says uh, wrong. This is very good show that's smart. This good show. Alexander Rikiccio says, what really made this funny and really made it super funny
Starting point is 00:51:52 was all the little sound drops and clips that really accentuated how poignant these guys comments. People can't, people can't write and it makes me bad at reading. Very good, very funny. It made a very good point. I love this. I think that was sarcasm. Anyway. Why?
Starting point is 00:52:10 Because it was a one-star. Well, these are just comments on our website. Oh. On the show page. If you like or dislike any specific episode that we've put out, you can go on our website. We get tons of comments. You can see the hotline now too.
Starting point is 00:52:24 There's a Hollywood. There's a Hollywood. If you're a big fan of comments. We have a hotline now too, or there's a Hollywood. There's a Hollywood. Yeah, and if you're a big fan of Hollywood handbook and you want to tell us what Dushback's here and he wants to call you. Yeah, be happy to play those. But let's go to the iTunes page, Joe, because we have been getting a ton of reviews lately.
Starting point is 00:52:41 We are up to 304 one-star reviews. We've broken the 300 times before you're at. And I will tell you, wow, we're nowhere near Ravapart. I will tell you that the Hollywood Handbook folks definitely came out in droves to shit on us. Let me just read this one from August 31st from Malone. This podcast just copies everything he did before. This show has no format and just says bro
Starting point is 00:53:10 and says douche-like things all the time. They use terrible equipment and it kills the audio quality. I can't believe someone would actually put ads on this show. Thank goodness, this show has that chef guy to provide some humor. Wait, that's not this show. Oh, I'll screw it. I'm not going to work to put up anything else
Starting point is 00:53:26 I've already typed this much. I'm spent Google me dammit I don't even get it. Sorry, sorry like OP. Yeah, sorry about OP. It's like trying to make it like our this show is like OP show Yeah, he was reviewing OP show on our I thought it was like that's terrible. All right, Redsmith says, just wow. This talentless douche, and whoever he has guest hosts to each week brilliantly deconstruct other talentless hacks podcasts,
Starting point is 00:53:54 the assessments of Corolla Opie Stern and Bonnie and Rich, Nell was wrong with the shows, and is usually narcissism. I mean, who are these podcasts? That's a five star review, calling me a talentless douche, which I love. I was gonna say, I know what I like about that is they clearly listen to multiple episodes. And then there's that one on funny and lazy too. Then there's one that's... There's no way. Somebody said that this show's lazy. Yeah, that one I'm fucking on. Exactly. I pointed that out earlier. Lazyness is not our problem, although there are many problems.
Starting point is 00:54:26 This one says, Carl Sucks, it's Carl with a C and Sucks with Out Decay. Carl Sucks, yes, I stopped using K's in a protesting against Carl and his show. Screw him and everybody who looks like him, down with W-A-T-P, five stars. Yeah, well. Swag Nice, 82, this guy gets it. Fix in the world. This guy gets it. What a waste of time, one star, from Hollywood Big Shot.
Starting point is 00:54:51 I really wanted to like this podcast, but the hosts are painfully unfunny, instead of being playfully antagonistic, like how did this get made. Who are these podcasts comes across as petty and purposely obtuse? Ooh, it's for Simon Caldab Tuse. That's a new one.
Starting point is 00:55:07 Kill Australia Gavis Five Stars, thank you. Retired broker Gavis Five Stars. Appreciate that. Not this Brett Gavis Five Stars. So I'm just going through here. They deserve a mention. Yeah, I mean, we have a lot of Five Star reviews. I'm focused on the one star.
Starting point is 00:55:24 Is everything a question? The host who I haven't invested enough time to learn his name is always getting a question in a surprise voice It grinds my gears, but I guess I'm listening to it in short five stars, but the host is painfully forgettable You are always like what are we doing? You are always like, what are we doing? Who is the show we go to on these fun guests? Alright, right. Joe, we've got a lot more to get through. Okay.
Starting point is 00:55:52 That's the joke. Says something, something blurg. These guys are very funny and smart and nice and definitely understand comedy and aren't sad, ghouls stuck in a bygone era, coast off other people's work who needs audio quality or funny jokes? We can just call other people retard And that's a one sorry sometimes that's all you need Very bad one star not good a bunch of follow-up bullies with a painfully hecky soundboard Gatsbyg about podcasts. They don't like rude hot dog go to bathroom
Starting point is 00:56:24 So this is obviously a Hollywood and book fan. And I love that we're being called rude and bullies totally agree. That is the format of the show. We we are rude. Assles, but you can't say that our soundboard is the best fucking soundboard. It just keeps getting better. Hey, just keeps getting better. Jim, you guys heard fucking body McFarland now on the soundboard is it could be the best fucking soundboard. It just keeps getting better. It just keeps getting better Jim you guys heard fucking body McFarland now on the soundboard
Starting point is 00:56:49 Ah, I can't fucking take it. I mean this this fucking soundboard is All of it's bad none of it's good. It's also live on the fly. I am going to yeah, you know I was voted in high school most likely to do drops in real time and they were right man though that my classmates nailed it. I do drops in real time joking a test to it hit off on Twitter. They'll tell you yeah find me on Twitter. Good luck. I will tell you that the soundboard is gotten so good. I'm not going to have guest host anymore. It's just going to be me in the soundboard at some point. I'll just be talking to Gilbert Godfrey. Put yourself in a corner on a single camera and just fucking hit drops. All right, this one is boring. If you like unfunny poorly informed people whining at length
Starting point is 00:57:36 about things they hate, maybe you will like this. And not poorly informed? I like it. This one says lazy edge lord garbage one star Total waste of time unless you think Joe Rogan is the height of podcasting and you really like opian anthony Turns out this bad podcast about bad podcast is way worse than any of the shows they claim to not like I like that review That's weird if you if you think Joe Rogan is the height of podcasting and you really like Open Anthony, Joe Rogan is the number one podcast in the world. Yeah. And Open Anthony was the funniest radio show to ever exist. So yeah. My only good thing with Joe Rogan's podcast is that it's very long because he'll go a long time.
Starting point is 00:58:18 He does go a long time. It's tough to get through. All right, so Greasy Elf Wizard from August 24 says, this show has more ones to our reviews than iTunes than like on Facebook. And that's true. That is very true. This show could tribute so little to podcasting that it's actually a net negative. It's a bunch of unclever guys who pick apart
Starting point is 00:58:39 other people's hard work just for the sake of being haters. The audio sounds like it was recorded on a cell phone. That was that time you called it on your cell phone. They play a Simpson soundboard over clips of podcasts. These guys are haters, fakers, and want to be funny men and don't deserve any of the attention they desperately crave by trying to start beef. It sounds like we have attention though. Yeah it does. It sounds like we have attention that we don't deserve. They don't, we don't deserve any of this attention. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:08 Here's one from YKS Fanboy that says, oof, one star. I think they're joking. Either way, punching up the show is more successful and much funnier than yours. Only works if you have some insight or talent of your own to showcase. The premise of a meta-show critiquing podcasts could be funny.
Starting point is 00:59:26 Most of what's happening on the shows they review go way over their heads. Note to other gen actors out there, stick to what you know, like writing scathing Yelp reviews or vlogging your trip to Best Buy. I like how millennials think they invented podcasts. I know.
Starting point is 00:59:40 Well, it's funny too. I liked that last line, stick to what you know, writing, skating, yelp reviews, or vlogging, you're sure the best by that. That's a funny line. And I appreciate that. If you're gonna shit on us, and you wanna make fun of us, that works for you,
Starting point is 00:59:55 what's weird to me though is that there is, and I hate doing the generational thing. I work with almost all millennials, I love them. I have no problem with this generation of people. But these specific people who are fans of Hollywood Handbook have grown up in this fucking world where everything is made out of soft cotton and you cannot fall and hurt yourself and everything is fun and friendly and we it's so boring. These people are just boring. Yep. they're boring assholes. Yep.
Starting point is 01:00:25 Oh, this is a good one. I think this is the last one I'm gonna read. This one takes the cake. From Stereo 13 says, Hi, one star. This is the worst thing produced by humans is the humans that produce the hosts of this podcast. Bravo.
Starting point is 01:00:42 Actually, you know, I think that that actually deserves some sound more treatment. Alright, people worst at something is, you know, an accomplishment. Ask Ed Wood. I believe that Kirk O'Bane once said, I'm worst at what I do best and for this gift I feel blessed. Does that fucking jet exorbitant of me or what? I know a fucking dervotally Rick. Holy shit. Alright, quick show now to Noah Genda, one of my favorite podcasts. They plugged our show on their most recent episode and put us on their live feed. We have on the stream, noagentestream.com coming up. We have who are these podcasts, which is a fun show to listen to, deconstructing podcasts on the stream, noagentestream.com. That's my buddy Adam Curry. We
Starting point is 01:01:41 really appreciate the plug. Thanks Adam. Thanks to John C. DeVorek. All right, I will tell you that I listened to OP's last show. He was on with Scott Farrell, who just recently joined Westwood One. Yeah, I love Farrell. I didn't find anything interesting from the conversation because I just like Farrell. So there was really nothing worth clipping.
Starting point is 01:02:03 So we're gonna take a break from OP this week, which means that it's time for... The teaser. Joe, this is the part of the show. We play a clip from the show that we'll be reviewing on next week's W-A-T-P. Do you know how we do this? It's like if you love Kristaliyah and you hated this show maybe you'll like what we do next week. Oh I don't expect any of Kristaliyah's fans to be sticking around past this episode. But yes that is the reason we want to tell let you know that we're gonna move on. But yes, that is the reason we want to tell let you know that we're gonna move on We're not gonna talk about Kristaliy anymore
Starting point is 01:02:51 I'm sure he's a wonderful person and all of his fans are great people next week we're reviewing a Totally different podcast. We're going in a very different direction. Here's a clip from that show So I go to the fucking box guy next to the a-rab He's like, oh, it all straights like's like, that'll be like a hundred bucks. I'm like, fuck it, hey, I'm not doing that. But if you go to the post office, you should be cheaper. So I look it up.
Starting point is 01:03:14 All right, post office, like the flat rate, international is like $24. It's like, go there. And you know, it's all Asians working. Oh my God, I'll be right. You know, get into the national. The Asian people are coming for you, Brandon. Just remember. And it's work, I'm standing in line.
Starting point is 01:03:34 Guy, I'm just like, I'll tell you something, man. I'll fucking steal you. I worked out as dry ones. I went down under, if you know what I mean. I had to start already. So the thunder from down under. you know what I mean? I had to start already. So the thunder from down under. You following this at all? No, it sounds vaguely racist.
Starting point is 01:03:51 Yeah, it's funny. That's very glad I'm not doing that one. I was just watching you get bored. I'm doing the 40s. I'm like, I'm, this show is a show called Licker Wicens. It's an episode number 160, Earl of Bud. Oh, you guys, that's a lesbian reference. From August 27th.
Starting point is 01:04:15 No, it's it's about drinking. Oh, yeah. August 27th, 2018. Joe, I had to do this show. This suggestion came in from three different listeners, Christian, Luke, and Tom. And Luke specifically, who's from De Pew, New York, have you heard of that? Yeah. It's home of my favorite buddy Taco in the world. It's right off of the 90s for all you local folks, who know what the fuck we're talking about. So these are people who love to hate listen
Starting point is 01:04:42 to this podcast. They think it's the worst show ever. And they've all written me and said, you have to review what's your life's listen to this podcast. They think it's the worst show ever and they've all written me and said you have to review What's the room of podcast apparently? It's just the worst fucking show Okay, and so this is the show we're gonna listen to People will be excited. It's the first time in a while that we're doing a very indie You know a show that people don't know about it's not Hi, what are you famous? There's nobody famous in it. Network.
Starting point is 01:05:10 We used to do this a lot. We haven't done it a lot. Recently, we're getting back to a show that nobody's ever heard of. It's not going to bring in any new listeners to our show. That's for fucking sure. But if it makes Luke and Christian and Tom happy, then I'm happy to do it. Joe, you should see this fucking email that I got from Luke.
Starting point is 01:05:27 Oh my God. Yeah. Yeah, he goes into. That's convincing. You don't need to have to read it. It's to be convinced. I didn't. It's too much.
Starting point is 01:05:35 Too many words. I don't read that many words. But that's like 10 paragraphs. It's 10 paragraphs on why I should do this show and why we should be reviewing it apparently these guys are from Buffalo They moved to LA to become Famous whatever's and they've failed miserably at that. Oh, and now they just Oh, not the guys that suggested it. No, the guys suggested it still live in Buffalo
Starting point is 01:06:02 They're still hanging out in Western New York. I got it. So it's, these dummies who do this show apparently is just garbage. And even when I just run them back, I said thanks to the suggestion that you had a fucking army back, another eight paragraph. So this obviously is very important for us to get to.
Starting point is 01:06:22 Well, even if you didn't read it, they were convincing, So good job guys. Yes. Actually, I should point that out. We get a lot of podcast suggestions. We appreciate that. Send your suggestions, w-a-t-p-show at gmail.com, or leave us a voice mail or tweet. I will tell you that if you get multiple people to suggest a show, that will probably get us to pay attention. We have a pretty good list right now of ones that we need to get to and we will over time. But if you want to get moved up to the top, get all of your friends and family to write it and tell us what show we should be listening to. And I'll just plug Crystalalia's follow the leader tour, watch alone together.
Starting point is 01:07:06 She's back out. She's back out. She's back out. She's just coming Netflix special. I get it. You're doing a show. You want to promote yourself. But there was nothing else going on.

He's coming, he's gonna be and what shows he's on and there was no content. He's coming he's coming above you know we reviewed his podcast Carl you don't have to keep shading out. Yes I do.

Starting point is 01:09:08 they did about two hours. They had a whole segment where they did other people's jokes, other comedians' jokes, and they would show the picture of the person up on the big screen, and then tell their funny, like they had Steven Wright, they had, I knew when you could think of, it was all the top comedians, and they were just getting laughs from other people's jokes. What the fuck? I could do that. Yeah. They had, I knew when you could think of. It was, I got all the top comedians. And they were just getting last from other people's jokes.
Starting point is 01:09:27 What the fuck? I could do that. Yeah. Like, hey, you guys ever heard of Mitch Hedberg? Yeah. All right. Well, he once said, I mean, I guess it's a funny bit. That's it.
Starting point is 01:09:36 It worked. People on time. Yeah, it filled out a time. People laughed. I've never seen anything like that before. People laughed. I've never seen anything like that before.
