Uh, Carl has, uh, one of my favorite podcasts ever. A podcast that I mentioned before the who are these podcasts. It's called Run by a guy called Carl. Cous! Couseru! Couseru! Couseru! Slapparuni!

W-A-T-P W-A-T-P you a tp w a tp hello beg slappers and cousin ruse and welcome to another episode of who are these podcasts the only show where baby boomers complain

There's even a bit that I'll be playing for you later in the show that came out of the subreddit. Leave us a voicemail, 585-612-1388. Email the show, w-a-t-p-show at gmail.com.

Also, we encourage our listeners, they give us a five-star review on iTunes and then shit all over us in the comments section. Unhappy to report that I have a lot of comments to read today from our iTunes page, the official podcast fans, not loving us. But today, we'll be reviewing a podcast called Armchair Expert. This suggestion actually came from you, Adam. We both listened to the show separately.

We have not discussed it with each other beforehand. Let's get into it. We have host, Dax Shepard and Monica Padman, host of Armchair Expert. Yeah, this is a... So this is actually... I'd never listened to it before. This is actually a recommendation by another fan of yours.

My friend Travis. Okay. Fuck you. Travis. Yeah, yeah, you huge cocksucker. So I'm going to stay up front. Like I thought this would be a great show to review. Yeah. And on some levels it was, but you know, Carl, with my, to me, the biggest sin in podcasting

isn't being a bad show. It's just being fucking boring. And it's just being to do I assume that you probably agree with that. Wholeheartedly, when you are a celebrity, I've learned that you can start a podcast just talking to your other celebrity friends. You don't have to be interesting

or compelling or entertaining. And people will listen to your show. This is one of the top shows in the comedy section of iTunes every single week. Yeah, I think it's like number three consistently. Pretty consistently. Armchair expert. I've never listened to it before this either. I didn't know what it was about, but I could have predicted it.

Yeah, and Dak Shepard's one of those dudes. He's somewhat amusing, but he comes off as fairly insufferable and That this showed it and just wave me from that opinion. He he's I mean, I'm mostly listening to the episode with his wife And he comes off like a condescending prick 90% of the time. Okay, and then the rest of the show He's just fucking boring. Well, let's get into it. I listened to an episode where he talked to Mark Marin from the WTF podcast. So these are two guys who host podcasts,

the talk to celebrities. They must have a lot to talk about. This show starts off talking about their texting exchange. They spend about 10 minutes talking about how they were texting back and forth. Here's the setup for that I'm not totally proud of what I said to you But also I admit it could have much worse like I genuinely like you and I think we have a bond because we're sober Right, so I got I got to act you know semi professionally. So I say this is interesting that you would ask me to get my wife on your

show and you ignored my request. So it was pretty bratty. It was definitely teed up for you to be a fucking asshole. Alright, so, Dax sets this up. He says, you know, we had this text exchange back and forth and, you know, I was kind of a dick to you. So you got to think, like, okay, this is going to, at least you gotta go on a mother fuck each other, it's gonna be funny. This is Mark's response back to Dax. You immediately go, holy shit, I'm so sorry, I get really busy, I probably forgot you sent that to me, and now I'm an asshole, and I'm sorry,

is there a way to make this right? Like straight into solution. That's boring. Okay, so why are we talking about this, Texas Change Shana? are we talking about this text exchange? Let's, let's, let's interesting about this. You said 10 minutes, that's being pretty generous there. Yes.

I think it's looked like 15 minutes. And the exchange gathers us nothing. At some point, you know, Daxchev would try to make it sound like, oh, like, you know, it was a joke, but at some point he mentions like, well, I had a really shitty response to you, and then I had a really nice one, and I went in the middle,

I'm like, that doesn't sound like this is a joke, this sounds like you're kind of an asshole who doesn't get that you're not as famous as your wife. This is the continuing on this conversation. This is not about what they texted each other, this is what they could have texted each other, like you were just alluding to. Well, I'm just saying that there was about a 95% chance

that that entire exchange would go really wrong. Right. And I give you the credit for it staying very peaceful in night. So he's saying it could have been an interesting exchange, but it wasn't. I don't know, maybe move on then. Nope. Here's more text talk.

Again, I'm giving myself like a C on the whole thing because there was another version of the text that was much more aggressive. Did you ask her? Were you checking? No, no, no. I know, I know when I don't want her input. Like it would have been wise to let her in on it all because she always pulls me back about 30%. But all in all, there was a much meaner text response I had composed in my head, and then there was a much nicer one I composed. And I kinda just went down the middle.

Oh, fucking cares! Ah, I can't fucking take it! Adam, I don't wanna hear actual texts that people exchange. I don't wanna hear about that. What alone texts that weren't even exchanged and what could have been? why would I give a fuck about this particularly when you have one of the top

podcasters of all time on your show but my favorite bit about that exchange I don't know if you can play my maran three yeah is that that shepherd seems to think that he and Mark Marin have a bond. He mentions it several times. Some people are my friends, but you know, I don't know you that way. Don't you think it has something to do with the sobriety bond? Because I feel like that's on a definitely different level. You would, you would, you would, you would think we would behave so brilliantly, but I don't,

but I don't know you that well either. Right. I mean, I I know right. They talk about this all while it's always dad bringing it up. Yeah, you know, we're going to be sober 20 years coming up. Mark Marren's like, well, actually, I'm kind of on 19 years in a few months, but it's day to day. What are we talking about? It's almost using it as an icebreaker. Right. And he doesn't actually have any connection to Mark Maron. So it's like, oh, well, we're both drug addicts.

So therefore, like, we're exactly alike. I don't have any clips of it, but there's several times where he's like, you know, we're pretty much alike. And Mark Maron basically says, no, no, I really don't know you. Right, many times, I'm pretty in back. Just getting back to my package here on the texting back and forth, this is somewhere between the 12th and 13th minute

of this podcast, between these two guys talking, they're still talking about this fucking texting exchange. I think when I got the first text from you, we were driving and I'm like, I got, I got pull over and deal with this. Oh my God. Oh no. Oh no.

This is, I'm gonna be a worse and worse and worse. No, no, no, no, no, no. You really nailed the response. It was so benign. I pulled over. I had to pull over to do it. Think about it.

Would this be interesting to you? What do you listen to this? It's this thing where if celebrities are talking, we should be interested in what they're saying even though it's boring as shit There's nothing going on here. There's nothing compelling about this conversation No, and it's it's the entire preamble and and the thing is the whole episode and Mark Marin see The interesting thing about the Marin episode is not completely boring just because Marin's actually a good interview right the problem is with

daccia perd who is not i mean he has good questions but he's not compelling at all he's not funny which uh... maybe my biggest problem with the show is that it is a comedy podcast and there's just nothing funny about it um... if you could pay my play my Marin one The ever talented and beautiful Monica Padman. Hello. Put an intro I've got more coming your way. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I've just started drafting them in my head. Oh boy. Yeah I don't think I'll run out of adjectives too soon either. Okay. Yeah

Do either of those people sound like they want to be in that room? No Do they even sound like they're doing a show? It sounds like when you and I were talking before we started doing our show. That's not the part that you want to put out the internet for everybody to hear. And honestly, the most interesting part of the podcast was that so he does a little, as a lot of shows do, he does a little pre-tap segment where he and Monica, who I guess is his producer. And by the way, not every producer of a show needs to be a semi-cohost. Just some people just let him run the fucking soundboard. But he has a section of, you play my

Marin 2 where he talks about something going wrong. And I'm happy there was blowback. Me too. About the lack of a fact check on... Mr. Joel McHale. On the beefy Joel McHale's episode. The reason for that was my beautiful, lovely stepfather of 27, eight years, David Barton had been battling prostate cancer

and I had to go to Oregon for a week and he has since passed and I was there with my family. That's wildly inappropriate. That's a fucking way. That's not cool. Dude, no fucking way. That's not cool. Hey, Carl, I have a question. Yeah. Do you know what I do when I have a podcast that's set to drop, but something happens like, you know,

someone gets on a car accident, someone dies? I don't know. Maybe post-pone you putting out that podcast? Yes. Something like that. It's a podcast. it's a show. I seriously doubt it's that important that you have listeners like who will just absolutely follow pieces.

If that shepard doesn't post his fucking Joel McAoe interview. And it's not like he needs the income. He's not the breadwinner in the family. It's very obvious. They're fine. He can let his wife make the money. Well, you know, I actually feel bad because I mostly did the Kristen Bell one.

I wish I told you that one, because that one actually is juicy. Okay. He does not get that, like, he regularly mentions when he's interviewing his wife that, you know, oh, you know, I write, I direct, I, you know, I was, I knew I asked him to cook, you know, all this, all this shit.

Oh, no. It's just a constant condescending prick. In fact, that show, like both, okay, so both of these two, Marin and his original one, the first episode was Kristen Bell, start with just him not getting along quite properly. So if you can play my, uh, DAX 1K on this day, this day you're about to hear we just were not getting along. We were bickering and impatient with one another. And the first half of the interview was a struggle. In fact, I considered just leaving this unreleased because truthfully

I'm embarrassingly controlling throughout most of it. And she is, by my estimation, very suspicious of my motives throughout. Okay. This is a theme throughout that entire episode, where, first of all, if you and your wife are fighting, and she's the person you're interviewing, and this is your first fucking podcast, it's not like you can't record it later. Why? Yeah, you live with her you could re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re re one. Look, I did have to go to Michael's today and then I, I'm missing Garland and I really want that Garland. For any folks that don't go to Michael's, that's a yarn store, right? It's like a craft. And here's a perfect example of why you're being annoying. Yes, it is a craft store, it's not a yarn store, but it also has great Garland. So it's just a married couple bickering, is that what this episode is? It's pretty much because I did not listen

to this episode. It was the first one he put out and Again, he's famous because of his wife. Anything I brought up, Dex Shepherd. I was oh right He's married to Kristen Bell and it's funny that it's first podcast He had to get Kristen Bell in order to make it legit a bit. Oh, it's it's worse than that at one point She mentions like hey, you know Maybe my girlfriends want to come and I'll show if you play my DAX 4K At least I'm gonna feel comfortable that if my girlfriends want to come here and do your podcast which by the way is i can't wait for

or your girlfriend's see this is what this is why you're annoying i'm gonna get you started by me no christian bells girlfriends are people like emily blunt other super famous actresses. He should want them, not only that, but just be kissing her ass like,

yes, sweetheart, thank you. I appreciate you getting my shitty podcast off the air by coming on here and then asking my girlfriends who couldn't care less to be my fucking addict, which has an exposed bathroom, which is what they're bicking around about the whole time. It's funny to me that he's kind of big timing. His wife who's way more famous than he is.

In the whole episode is that it's combination of him kind of shitting on her and them like okay so they're one of these couples that's been to way too much couples therapy where they're psychoanalyzing each other back and forth. Like I don't know if you've met couples like that. It's very hard. Yeah, I would. So they keep saying back and forth, I love you.

But it's pretty strained. All right, knowing that you were gonna come on, I thought of a story that probably we haven't told in public that I think is pretty funny. I love you. I love you so much too. Oh, Jesus Christ. That's almost like, yeah, go fuck yourself. You're gonna pretty funny. I love you. I love you so much too. Oh Jesus Christ. That's almost like, yeah, go fuck yourself.

You're gonna tell that story, fuck you. And I won't make you play the clip, but that leads into a story where apparently, and so Kristen Bell, aside from some fairly obnoxious Hollywood language, like at one point she says, oh, I discovered I'm a Buddhist. She comes off exactly as you would expect her to, based on what you've seen from her on TV. Yeah. And she tells she mentions like at some point he was looking at her tits. He denies it

and he goes and she apparently said oh are you looking at my fake tits. Carl did do you think Kristen Bell has fake tits? I don't think so, but I haven't really put that much research into it. She's gotten maybe a solid B. Okay. So that leads into like a whole story where he thought her tits were fake if you want to play my dad's seven gay. So you don't think there's a lot of B cups coming out of the tit factory, is that what you're saying?

I think you'd have to be fucking stupid to spend between six and $10,000 to go up one cup size from flat to almost flat. I was under the impression that you had fake boobs. Yeah. Which I still to this day finds so. But we later cleared that up. So. Yes, honey, you're always right about everything.

Well, I'm only going to bring up stories where the punchline is is I was right. Yeah. Okay. So, you know, months are going on. We're dating. Things are great. And you are occasionally making jokes about people with fake boobs or you're making observations. I don't want to say your body shame name one, but between you and I are like jokes, but like we were, I remember what you're talking about. We were, yeah, like a Kate, look, we live in Los Angeles. And sometimes when someone walks in with an extreme amount of plastic surgery and it wasn't body shaming, but it was like, whoa.

Where some of the... Look at those bolt-ons or... Exactly, they look really, really, really tight or it's like, I currumba where like, you know, it's insane and I remember what the breaking point was. Well, the first few times this happened over the course of months, I didn't say a thing. I just was like, oh, it's weird.

She has fake boobs, but she's kind of making fun of fake boobs or observing fake boobs or whatever. And then finally, unlike the fourth time it happened, I finally broke and said, what do you want me to do right now? I feel like this is a test. Like, should I join in and comment on these boobs? Oh my God. This is so boring.

That's like a five minute story. It's just about how he was a moron who just couldn't figure out the shit, real press. I also that comment about it, look at those bolt-ons. That's basically an opiism as far as I can tell. Yeah, Dex Shepherd is not a clever person by any means. He talks about the fact that he's famous

because he just reads what other people have written and does what directors tell them to do. But the fact that he thought his girlfriend had fake boobs for all that time, when you're with a girl and she has fake boobs, you would know it. I would hope so. Oh, retarded alert. Retarded alert class. I would hope so. Oh, retart alert. Retart alert class.

I do like making fun of the advertisements on these podcasts. This is a Hello Fresh spot that I just wanted to point something out on. You can just cook, eat, and enjoy. This is really nice. No laborious trips to the grocery store. It's not like that.

Compiling lists and recipes in your head, you're not gonna need to do that. It's so cold in the grocery store. It's chilly. I don't want to tell a hello fresh how to advertise their product. But what they're saying is, it takes the step out of going to the grocery store. If I wanted to take steps out of preparing a meal,

I would just skip right to ordering food that gets delivered to my door pre-cooked, ready to go. Guys, this is a huge time saver. We'll send you ingredients that you then have to fucking cook. That's not a time saver. Hey, you know, this is a good time to announce that WATP will be sponsored by Uber Eats. Exactly. Get your Uber Eats app right now. Use the promo code. Here's more on this, hello, fresh conversation. And for some reason, they stop talking like adults. I don't understand this thing.

Hollywood celebrities do it all the time. They just think everything they do is so cute and fun. And I'm always looking for kind of a fry substitute. So crispy, these zucchinis. It's the trick. Ooh, they hit the spot. Ooh. Big bullseye. These zucchini. The tritz. Ooh, they hit the spot. Oh.

Big bull's eye. How melty was this melty? It was very thoroughly melted and delicious. Yeah. Well, that's retarded. Ugh. I think I just lost my erection for a week. Just listen to her say, how melty is this melty?

How melty is this melty? We're having so much fun. You guys are fucking, you sound like idiots. You know, the bizarre part about all this is that. So he has these top notch gals. There's people that don't typically do podcasts like, well, I mean, Mark Marindos, but, Kristen Bell, Aston Kutcher did it.

A bunch of things, people. And he just asked them the most mundane shit. Like he's talking about Mark Marind's time on era America which you know for a short segment like that makes sense. Yeah. Like again, this is someone who interviewed the president, I'd say it's the sitting president of the United States at the time. Why you not to go back to but why are you talking to him about your text message, Nafu?

And the same thing was with his wife at one point, he talks to her about how she knows a commercial for Leop Leopress on Nails from 1984. This is a woman who was in like the top animated movie of all time. Right. Bring something up, something, anything. Well, he also makes it about him.

So, Dax is obviously a narcissist. He has to steer the conversation back to him. He says he hints at it a couple of times. He goes, Mark, what do you think about this thing where these guys are used to interview are now starting their own podcasts? You pissed about that. Obviously saying he is that guy who's now just copied Mark Maren's podcast format and is doing it himself. And then he has to explain to Mark Maren, the reason why he started doing a podcast was because of the response that he got,

meaning DAX from being on Mark's show. Mm-hmm, point is, of all the things I've done, the way people have talked to me about my interview on your show has been really profound. It's made me feel wonderful in a way that no response to anything I've ever done really has. Wow. I'd say your show in Sam Jones.

In both of those were like, you know, his is an hour long format. I don't know how long you and I talked, but I've had people say to me like, oh, you know, man, I'll check in with that episode like every few weeks like your story really right. And I go, holy shit, that that means a ton to me because someone didn't write that for me. It wasn't a great director or it's not the that is insufferable. I hate when people make up bullshit stories on podcasts. People regularly walk up to them and say, hey, I listened to that one interview you do at least three times a month. Sure, back. Sure, DAX.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. You go back to one episode of Mark Marin and listen to it multiple times. Nobody's doing that. That's not a real thing. And this fucking dummy says, well, I had to start my own podcast because the people demanded it. They just, they needed to hear me talk about me way more. That's the problem with every celebrity podcast. Well, not everyone, but like 90% of them, it's always some bullshit like, oh, I went on a podcast and like,

well, people need to hear more of me, don't they? Yes. They need, in my house, you know, 24-7, and they need to know, you know, how many cats I have or whatever the fuck they're doing. And then the other thing they do is I hate this thing where they say, you know, when you're on a podcast, people know who you are.

They think that your friends with them, this back and forth that they have, sounds like a sales meeting to me. It sounds like you're in a room, you're in a conference room with a lot of advertisers, you try to convince them why podcast advertising is what's gonna work for their brand. Your show is very similar to that

because if people, they listen to it, it's not like they listen to it as they would watch a TV show to an F-Men. This is like a part of their identity in some weird way. That's true for some people, yeah. And that's really cool. And they're in a relationship with you. Yes.

Oh my gosh, it even says, why would you waste your money with a 30 second spot on 2.5 men? When Mark Marin reads about your product, these are people who think they're in a relationship with Mark Marin. You need to start advertising on Mark Marin's podcast. I've been in these meetings. I know exactly how this goes. with Mark Maren, you need to start advertising on Mark Maren's podcast.

I've been in these meetings. I know exactly how this goes. Right after that, right after that, he says something that's wildly insulting to Mark Maren. And they're in a relationship with you. Yes. And they don't have to be entertained per se. They don't have to be, you know, there's all this.

They're just in a relationship with you and they enjoy the relationship. Right. They don't have to be entertained. Yeah, no right they're just in a relationship with you and they enjoy the relationship right and they don't be entertained yeah no shit i've listened to blockbearance podcast obviously people don't need to be entertained to listen to that show to to be fair carl that little clip basically summarizes deck shepherds philosophy on podcast you don't need to be entertaining that's exactly right he just thinks and it's similar to op, and this seems to be a common thread

with all of these annoying boring hang style podcasts, is that they just think we're gonna do a show of people talking, and there's so many lonely, fucking people out there that they're gonna listen to it and feel like they have a fucking friend for the next 47 minutes. It's depressing. Shout out to my family at the middle hand of God.

It's depressing. It out to my family at the middle hand of God. It's depressing. It seems to be working though. I'm a fucking hypocrite. But somewhere in there, there's my clip that I think not only summarizes that show, but summarizes your own car. If you'll air my number one. Okay. Do you get a no, is it annoying at all that there are so many podcasts now? Yes It's super fucking annoying that there are so many podcasts now Every single asshole has their own podcast He Dex is talking to Mark about his preamble if you ever listen to WTF Mark's preamble is

Pretty aimless and not well thought out or interesting, but Dax tries to get into his brain and figure out how he is able to pull off this amazing feat. This is so douchey. Do you basically just let us hear the other voice in your head? Do you have a conversation with yourself? Is that how you would describe it? Thankfully Mark says, no, I have a topic and I just kind of riff on it.

It's not anything planned out. Do you have a conversation with the other voice in your head? What kind of douchey question is that? How would you answer that question? Of course, it's a conversation. I'm a genius. I'm a savant. It's a conversation I'm having.

Then I put out there. You're welcome. I put it out there for you to hear it. Well, once again, it's the kind of thing that you say when you're someone who's been to way too many hours of therapy. I think that actually might explain the name. I think armchair expert is meant to be like dime store psychologists, but less simple sounding. I think that he really thinks that he's in there and getting deep into the mind and the psychology

of these top notch guests. And then he asks Mark Marin, why people listen to his show? And they have no idea. Anyone can talk on a mic, but what makes people listen, who knows what that is? Yeah. Who knows why people want to listen half. People listen to it. I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out.

I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out.

I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out.

I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out, I don't know, man. I have my body over. We talked for an hour and a half. People listen to it. I can't figure it out. I can't either. It's, again, what it comes down to is the show

is just boring as shit. And I don't think DAX has any idea what makes a good show. He does it. It's admitting. He has no idea what makes a good show. He doesn't. He admits he has no idea what makes a good show. I mean, I get the impression that he doesn't know why he's doing it, other than he just has this empty space and is addict, again with an exposed bathroom, and he just wants celebrities to come up there to die. This is him interviewing Mark Marin, and I called this amazing interviewing skills.

I can certainly understand if you're a musician and you watch American Idol, you go, this is bullshit, this is like, you're taking a shortcut, right? But you could also lose sight of the fact that, well, Kelly Clarkson's still a fucking amazing singer, right? Like, so, you know, at the end of the day, I guess what I'm curious about is that,

I don't think you see in like, you know, fuck, I don't know what occupation, where I didn't edit that at all. That's him asking a question of a guess. What the fuck was that rambling nonsense? What was that? No, no. I know Mark Marens a good stand-up comedian, I've seen him, you know, not recently, I don't know what he's doing nowadays, he used to be funny. I hope that he's not doing this bit in his standup. He talks about how he bought a new house

and he's insecure about the chair that he bought. You know, so that makes me nervous but I get over that. But then I get obsessed with like, did I get the right chair? Is this the right chair? That can go on for months. Why did I get that fucking chair?

Right. So, you know that fucking chair? Right. So, you know, it's very stressful. These chairs we select, they can bring you down. Yeah. Is that way it's a comedy show for the chair bit that Mark Marin does? I think he got the chair so that he could talk about it on Daxchepher's show. There's no other reason for the chair to exist. Does the chair in fact exist?

Does anybody care if the chair actually exists or not? I did, and on one of the episodes, I tried to listen to it. I didn't make it far into it. But if you play my Amy one, I got a good example of his comedy. We have a very exciting guest on today. Very special lady. Very special lady, powerful lady, brilliant, funny, hysterical lady.

Michelle Obama. No, it close. Oh, yeah, I heard that too. That's the Amy Schumer episode. I listened to that as well. I didn't make it far into that one, but I was like, oh, that's that's why this is number three in comedy podcast. It's depressing. Isn't it? There used to be funny shows. I don't know what happened. Oh, yeah. If you look at the top

comedy podcast now, Dak Shepherd's actually one of the few people that's famous. It's mostly like hot chicks talking about their vaginas. Yeah, I've noticed that. Random hipsters with weird titles at this point. This is from the Amy Schumer episode. She's talking about, you know, Amy Schumer gets a lot of shit on the internet. I've seen this first hand if you go to the, who are these podcasts, subreddit,

but she's talking about that fact. Because I'm someone who people has spent a lot of time on the internet sort of first like negotiating if I was attractive or not. I have good news, Amy. The discussion has ended. We are no longer debating that topic. We have decided you are not attractive. So good news.

I'm not to get into that. But frankly, Amy Schumer is one of those chicks who she would be cute, except she's decided that she's a sex goddess and it's like, uh, scale it back, baby. Near the end of the conversation with Mark Marin, God forbid they wouldn't start talking about texting again. Well, I love you, Mark Marin. And I'm really glad that we navigated that texting exchange. And again, I'm going to give all credit to you. You are, you were very sober in your response and you applying it to all your affairs.

Why I applaud. I'm trying and I appreciate it. I love you too. And I, I, when I wrote that response, I'm like, he's a sober guy. I'm going sober. I'm going to go straight. I take responsibility. How can we?

Who gives a shit? Who gives a fuck? I mean, they had to come back to it again. And they re, that wasn't even the whole thing. They rehashed the entire conversation again. So, uh, all right. So I didn't make it that far because I was listening to three different episodes. Sure. Do you get the impression that's a callback

or is he attempting to establish like, hey, we do have a connection, remember that text thing? Like we, you know, we, we, we, we got a memory together now. I think you're exactly right. Oh, shit, I just did it. I'm taking that on post. I think you're correct on that because, oh, I gotta play this fucking super cut.

My goddamn subreddit is fucking with my head now Somebody pointed out a drinking game you could play while listening to the episode we did with Dick Masterson called the per cast Apparently I say a word a lot and I don't pronounce it very well This is a super cut that was put together by KR 5150. I think D-Hort 13 pointed this out. So fuck you guys. You're exactly right. Exactly. And you're exactly right. You're exactly right. It's exactly right. Exactly like that. You're exactly right. You're exactly right. You're exactly right. You're exactly wrong. That's exactly right. You're exactly right. Fuck you guys. I'm so self-conscious of everything I say I do now.

Pearl, what kind of massacre start you where you started your own subreddit? Are you the last person on the internet to find out the the reddit is where you go to commit suicide? I didn't ask that real subreddit. A moment of Zen and another mod I didn't not start real subreddit moment of Zen and another mod Started the subreddit. I just promote it like an idiot because then people go there and point out the fact that I'm an asshole and I suck at this So yes, I'm not a smart person. I'm not a smart man as they say Do I pronounce exactly wrong? I guess I have an accent. I've been told that I have an accent. You're from New Orleans Do I sound like I have an accent. I've been told that I have an accent. You're from New Orleans. Do I sound like I have an accent to you?

A little bit, but you know people tell me I have an accent. I'm like, have anything else to play. This show was mostly boring. It was hard to find interesting things to clip. I'm not a fan of celebrities talking to each other. I actually listened to Adam Corolla again recently because he had Anthony Cumia on my buddy. So I thought, oh, I've listened to Adam Corolla in a year. Let's see what's going on. Wait, wait, wait, You know Anthony Comeo?

No, yeah, yeah. We're good buds. I never point that out, but I should, right? I should point that out more often. And you should be honest. You should make a little clip. Carl has one of my favorite podcasts ever. Oh, is that right, Anthony? I had no idea. That's awesome. Anyway, Anthony was on Adam's show and so I checked it out and I forgot Adam Krola does this thing that I totally appreciate. He barely even talks to his guests. He has Anthony guys is Anthony he used to be an open Anthony right? And he's oh yeah yeah. So then Adam talks about this incident he had with OP. That goes after 15 minutes and he goes,

okay, now we're gonna do the news. The news girl reads the news, Adam Corolla riffs all over it, never lets Anthony talk and they goes, all right, well that's all the time we have. Do you have a book out? Great, all right, go get your book. See ya, and it's hilarious.

I wish Dax had the balls that Mark Marin had a show and then just talk to Monica the entire time and barely let him get a word of an adjo And barely when I'm gonna word an eduize that, I would respect. Just out of curiosity, because I used to be a regular Corolla listener. Is the story about Opie, something about them going to the radio station and being blown off,

and there was a miscommunication? That's the one, you've heard the stories a million times. Because it's that I'm Corolla show, the most cyclical show in the history of podcast. I couldn't believe it. I know that when we did the show with Kroge last year, he pointed this out, but I felt the same way I've been off that show for a year. I pop it on.

I have not missed a single thing. I'm going over to Jay Leno's house later this week. We got this documentary that we're working on. I'm racing cars. Okay, whatever. All right, well, I wanna move on, but first I wanna thank our newest sponsor, deepdiscount.com, a great website to find amazing gifts and incredible prices.

Right now you can save big on tens of thousands of items. I talked about the movies and the TV shows on our show last week. There's also CDs, LPs, games. There's all sorts of things that you can find. Books all available at deeply discounted prices. Go to whoarethese.com. We have a link to DeepDiscount.

If you do that, you click the link. Then they know that you came from our show So we'd appreciate it start doing your holiday shopping my parents Love owning shit. They are not people who are streaming movies They want the blue ray in their hand. They want to put it in the player They want to watch it a super high quality no compression They want to see every pixel they got the biggest fucking TV on the block. They want to see every pixel. So I go to deep discount.

That's where I do my holiday shopping. My my favorite thing about it is that I'm just realizing this is a real thing because on the last episode you did the ad spot as you were making fun of other podcasts doing an ad spot. Yes. I thought this was a joke. So I am glad to know that deep test discount exists so that I can go because I have plenty of holiday shop and I've got like eight God kids that all need something. I'm going to go to deepdiscapt.com and I can go.

I can start with who are who are these podcasts.com, right? You got that figured out, man, you're quick on this shit. I like that. That's a very good guy. Through a lot of people off with the read last week. I'm gonna tell you, I was looking on deep discount. I've been buying vinyl lately. Do you buy vinyl at all?

No, I'm not that cool. I don't know why, I'm not either. I don't know why I do it. But anyway, I was looking at the vinyl. And one of the hair bands in the whole world is Primus. Primus is putting out new vinyl. Like, Antipop, that album is coming out on vinyl.

It's cool to see that you can get older albums that were never pressed on vinyl. They're now pressing them on vinyl. You get the awesome artwork and everything that comes along with owning the record. So, I encourage my listeners to take charge, go buy your favorites. You can gift them, keep them for yourself, whatever you want to do. There's something for everyone in every genre. They also have brand new releases. December 4th, the new Mission Impossible movie, Fall Out comes out. And I was just looking at their new releases. You can actually buy the Mission Impossible 6 movie collection.

Just get all 6 movie. That's an awesome gift for somebody. 4K Ultra HD. It's marked down from 126 bucks to 80 bucks. Can't beat it. What kind of deal can I get on the Marcy's playground album collection? Oh yeah let's let's take a look. What is Marcy's playground? They actually have a greatest hits album on here. Well, then I'll be going to deepdiscount.com. Just, you know what, Carl? I think I'm gonna get you the Marcie's playground

greatest exec collection, because I think you need that in your life. You need a little section candy. Well, I wanna say to you, thank you, Adam, and also we always like to say, thank you deep discount. All right, moving on. I do want to talk about the official podcast.

The boys talked about us reviewing them. Did you happen to see this at all? No, I did listen to the last episode, but I couldn't stomach listen into more of that. So the official podcast, as I mentioned, is a very big show. They have a very big following. And they were nice enough to spend the first part of their latest episode talking about our review and their thoughts about it. Serving off with our buddy, Kaya, who we loved. He enjoyed this review that we did. Yeah, they reviewed us.

I personally liked the review because they just, they liked me, but the way it's in front of me. So let's take a look at this perspective. They liked you for different reasons, though half of it was, he's, you know, he's saying this thing, the other half was, they literally said you sounded retarded. Oh, that's fine. Lars Lars Ulrich with a slur

All right first off We did not say kaya sounded retarded. We said he sounded like a guy who's only famous for going on television and talking about Space aliens helped Egyptians create the great pyramids, but I mean there's a nuance difference there obviously, right? I have to tell you, these guys, their response to our show tells me they're very good dudes. I like these guys a lot. They have a good sense of humor. Yeah, a little bit of humor.

None of this was meant to be like a serious review of the show. I mean, they were smitten for 20 million. Yeah, they're just riffing out other podcasts. It was all fun game's perfectly fine. Check out the big brain on bread! You're a smart motherfucker, that's right. I give them credit. We've had other shows like Step by Step and E-Hap. Everyone has a podcast. Get very upset when they hear that we don't enjoy their podcast very much. I give these guys a lot of credit. They thought we did a nice job. I thought it was funny that they put it this way.

You all have a big gaggle of fans who love and support us, so I don't think this review is gonna tear us down in any way. What? No, mate. I thought it was cute. Yeah. Well, they have like nine listeners. I mean, oh, but let's still insult them. They did a good job. I like that they thought it was cute. The way they reviewed their podcast. The one said he said you did a good job. You did a good job. The one thing they didn't like and their fans didn't care for either are the sound bites that we put in. They didn't

think that that was a very good cavity. But then they ruined any chance they had of showing that they're professional and good by putting family guy sound bites in the middle of jokes. What the hell are you talking about? And other trumpisms in there because that's what makes the audience at home laugh. When you're a 40 year old person going to your nine to five job and you got to listen to some guys on the internet about your age, describe what the kids are into. You got to punctuate it with that Peter Griffin about your age describe what the kids are into you got A punctuated with that Peter Griffin going oh my god who the hell cares lowest cuz that's how you relate to humor these days they nailed it

They got it oh Man oh Jesus I think I think I just Peter Griffin impression was pretty funny I'm a little thrown on the Trumpisms. Well, I didn't understand that either. We don't really play a lot of Trumpisms on this show. The other way they made fun of our podcast

is they talked about how the majority of our show is ads. The majority of their entire podcast is ads. Oftentimes people say our ads drag on, but you haven't heard shit. Oh yeah. They're like the final raid boss of long ad reads Really they they start the show with self promotion and then about halfway into the show They have a chunk block of advertisements Mm-hmm literally each ad I think gets like seven whole minutes dedicated to it

Yeah, Andrew told me about it. So I went out of my way to try and find it. It is fucking absurd. I think I must have skipped those parts, I don't know. So I think this because we were making fun of their ad segues or something, because they talk about how we do these long ads, which obviously we don't, and Kai is not in the joke. He's like, I guess I didn't hear that part.

I don't know what you guys are talking about. This is a clip. They really enjoyed the description that we put out on Twitter when we promoted this episode. I really like the description of us. I forgot what they said. It was like a, depending on the episode,

they'll either talk aimlessly or embarrass themselves in front of celebrity guests. Yeah, perfect. It well sums it up. I'm gonna be honest with you. here in barrison sells in front of celebrity that's that it it's it will sums it up i'm the honest with you that the the my main criticism of that show based on what i heard from wtp is i can never remember their fucking name what is the name of the episode of the show it's called the official podcast

that might be the most forgettable podcast name both literally and figuratively i've ever heard what do you mean? If you're looking for a podcast, that's the one to go to. It's the official podcast. It sounds like something that like your grandfather would try. If you know, if you told him about podcast,

oh, it's the official one. I'll go listen to that one. It's funny. It's funny. You say that because they think of us as being the old guys. They talk about us being in our 40s or 50s. This I thought was interesting though. They were really nice to us because they have so many fans that got pissed off.

They didn't want to sick them on us. Also, here's a shout out to all of the people who immediately assembled a lynch mob to shit on that guy's reviewing us. The mode, I thought everybody would just take it in just to be like, God, I was kind of funny. It was a fun roast like those MTV roasts, but no, everybody was really up and arms about telling this guy to go kill himself. Oh, Jesus.

What's? Yeah, they actually made it to the point to tweet out like oh this was fun This is a good show because they could have very easily been like fuck these guys They made fun of our show and who knows what would have happened So I give these guys a lot of credit. They have a lot of class They handled this very very well, which is cool. They didn't ask to be roasted by WATP One of our listeners sent their show in as a suggestion. So very cool that these guys,

I was actually DMing with Kaya a little bit. Very good sets of humor. I like these guys a lot. One of the things I didn't agree with though is our criticism about how they get star struck around celebrities and don't do a good job of interviewing them. I'm not a fan

of this rebuttal to that. They come in expecting an interview and we just want to hang out and be friends and you know they they ragged on me for being a little bit a little bit of stage fright when talking to David Cross. Well hey first of all, I was literally designated by the rest of these folks to be the one who asked him questions and introduced him to the show because they would do such a good job with it. And second of all, I would love to hear you find folks at home talk to a celebrity that you admire or an actor you really like and just try to start a normal conversation on that interview. Yeah, I imagine if you just grab the random person off the street and ask them to talk to, I don't know, Arnold Schwarzenegger, they'd be pretty star struck, but they have a fucking podcast, Kaya.

Well, that was Andrew, but Kaya totally agrees with us. I do hate the whole, what's a guy's name, the H3 podcast that dude gets so much shit for some of his episodes where people go, oh man, did you see that? It was so cringy when he asked Bill Burr this question. Do better. How about you make your own podcast and you try getting Bill Burr on and not being too excited to ask proper questions. Really?

It's not that easy. Yeah, I'm with you on this, Adam. I hate that. Rebuttal because I don't, I've never mentioned this before, but I'm a Buffalo Bills fan. Could you imagine if the post game interview, they go, what happened you threw three interceptions today? You try playing quarterback in the NFL, it's fucking hard. That's not a good answer for that.

That's your job. If your job is being on this big podcast at interviews, David Cross, be good at it. I'm not saying I can do a better job, but that's not what I do. Actually, I'll be honest with you. If I saw a post game interview and it went like that, I'd be laughing my dick. I know, I never want to respect for someone who just looked at the sports rider and said,

stand up, asshole. What are you? 243 pounds? Those last time you went to a gym. You think you could drop back in the pocket and get rid of the ball of 2.3 seconds. I'd love to see you try. That would actually be a funny response but no I hate that argument though. You can make fun of people for sucking when they

put themselves up on this pedestal. The official podcast is a big show. You guys should be better than that. You should be better at having a celebrity on that you're talking to. Here's the thing. I get on some level being nervous talking to somebody that you admire. Like David Tell is my fucking hero. If I ever got a chance to sit down and talk to you. Same here. Yep. I would be a fucking lunatic.

But I'd also have to realize that David Tell is going to be less comfortable with me. If I act like a goddamn fanboy and you have to realize David Cross has been famous for a long time. The last he wants to do is talk to like a bunch of aging fanboys who are like, yeah, let's be friends. No, he doesn't want to be your friend, dude. He's doing you a favor. He's being a nice guy. He's super famous and super busy. Fucking don't waste his time. Ask him the questions. Let him go on with his life and go walk his dog. But hey, congratulations to the ordinary podcast where the fuck you're called. Like you got a major guest to go on and he took time out of his day. So you got like one over on me.

Nobody on David Cross's level has ever done my show. This is a clip of them talking about how being entertaining on a podcast, and again, they're talking about this thing where people maybe criticize them and then they say, well, you know, it's harder than you think it is. We'd like to, I mean, we obviously, you know, just be ourselves on this show and shoot the shit and fuck around to whatever, but at a certain base level, it's harder to stay entertaining than you think it is. No shit, sir, rock! No shit!

No shit, sir, rock! No fucking shit, sir, rock! No shit! No shit, sir, rock! No fucking shit, sir, rock! It's a weird argument to make. I'm actually gonna go ahead and strongly disagree with them. It's not really that hard to be fairly engaging if you're good at what you do. Now you're gonna have bad episodes, which, you know, is one criticism I've had of the WATB in the past. It's like, you know, there's no one episode of some shitty podcast. You might be catching them on a bad day. But it's again, it's a roast, whatever.

But no, it's not that I mean, nobody's expecting you to be on the same level as those guests that you have. You just have to be an engaging person to have an entertaining podcast. And if you're not an engaging person person then you should not have a podcast. This next clip makes me love these guys even more Charlie's one of the hosts of the official podcast and He hates OP. Now for some reason these guys seem to think that OP is on my show Because Kaya, I think sent them a link to us talking about OP. So they're like what OP is on his show because Kaya, I think, sent them a link to us talking about OP.

So they're like, what, OP is that a show, right? Yeah, I don't like OP, which is hilarious. But this is, this is great. This is directly to you, OP. You're such a fucking asshole and such a huge douchebag. I have no respect for you, OP. Why are you so offended? Why are you so offended, Charlie? I genuinely don't like that guy. He's just such a little pussy. So I love the Charlie. Hey it's OP for some reason.

You think where the fuck does this come from? These guys don't know about satellite radio. They're these YouTube celebrities. How would they even know who OP is, right? So he goes ahead and tells the story of why he hates OP. And this is awesome. This is a little behind the scenes peeling back the curtain. They're on a sales call. When you're a big podcast, you have sponsors.

They want to onboard you. So they want to have a conversation with you. Hey, here's what we want you to say about the brand, here are the things we want you to do. So this guy Charlie's got a call with a whole bunch of other podcasters, including OPI. Very our advertisers. We have to go on these fucking onboarding calls and OP was on the call as well.

And typically how these calls go is it's like five or ten minutes, they just say what they, what they expect what they're looking for. And then we all hang up, we say you have any questions, everyone says no, we hang up, we're good. OP for some reason, when we got to that part, just started sucking their dick. As much dick as he could fit into his mouth, he was sucking them off. I believe it was me undisso super-appropriate. He's like, oh, this product is some of the best I've ever seen in my life. If you guys didn't even sponsor me, I'd have at least 15,000 trucks of these in my backyard.

This shit is unbelievable. You know what? I'm going to order a pair of me undis on this call right now. And he did. So we sat on the fucking phone call for an extra 20 minutes while this goddamn fossil ordered another pair of me undies with his own goddamn money and was jerking himself off about his huge purchase in front of the people that made the product. I fucking can't stand that guy. God damn it. OP makes people passionate, doesn't it? Wow, I'm I must

have missed the part of OP show where he's just jerking people off and like sucking the gicks like that. That he sounds like a master cox sucker. I'm I'm I must have missed the part of Opie's show where he's just jerking people off and like suck him in the gigs like that That he sounds like a master cox sucker. I'm I'm I'm I listen to the wrong episode of Opie I love it. They the Charlie's all pissed off because you have to go on these calls They're not enjoying them and then this asshole makes it a longer call than I needed to be he's like fuck that guy I want to murder that guy because he's on the phone call for actually three minutes. These, that pissed off about it. But they did, they were talking about me, Undy. So I wanna point something out that the subreddit pointed out to me.

I was making fun of their ad read, talking about how he said it was three times softer than cotton. I didn't think that that was possible to measure such a thing. Apparently, that is measurable and somebody even shared the math with me. I just want to remind everyone that on WATP there. We know fact and check it. Alright, I didn't know.

Did you know that you could measure softness, Adam? Am I an idiot? I don't know why I give a shit, but sure. You didn't know that? Fuck. No, I had no idea. Okay, good. I have other things to do with my life than measure the softness of my my dick holster this response from the original

podcast I really appreciated the fans of the original podcast did not enjoy our show at all and we have a lot of negative reviews on the iTunes because these people don't think that we're very funny or understand what's going on. Let me just read a few that came through. This one was from Gavcans 32 and this is from November 26, 2-2 jealous, 2 unfair, referencing the official podcast episode, take a listen and you'll see what I mean, one star. Kaboom Blao wrote, uh, bummed. I even gave this a chance for five minutes. This is trash.

One star. Mad with 12 exclamation points says, not entertaining obnoxious punks who talk badly about podcasts that are much more entertaining and meaningful than theirs. not a good lesson. So obviously a fan of the original podcasting guys. More meaningful? I mean, maybe it's because they all have accents. You know, stupid people think people with accents

are smarter. That's true. Yeah, there's a guy in Australia. This is way more meaningful than what you guys are doing. Embarrassing bad in a very way way. This is crazy. It says embarrassing bad in very way possible. That's embarrassingly bad in every way possible.

Embarrassing bad in very way possible. Guys that think they are funny, but actually lonely losers It's really bad. The only thing positive about this podcast is the massive selection of podcasts You could scroll down and find some really good stuff other than that. It's really really bad LOL Wow that person. I hope English is not their first language You know well, you know, some, somebody just discovered trainees explain the X-Men or whatever.

That is from humongous on November 29th. This next one says boring podcast that doesn't have much to even talk about besides criticizing other podcasts, one style. That's hilarious. We don't have much to talk about besides criticizing other podcasts one star. That's hilarious. We don't have much to talk about besides criticizing other podcasts. That's what this show is. It's criticizing other podcasts. That's the format of it. That's the only topic. This podcast is so... Yeah, I mean, no shit. This podcast is so boring. So don't even bother listening to

the stale podcast. Also, there's a reason why the official podcast is a huge following. And they also have had a lot of celebrity interviews. And that's listening to the stale podcast. Also, there's a reason why the official podcast is a huge following, and they also have had a lot of celebrity interviews. And that's because the hosts are actually comedic. Too bad the same thing can't be said for this podcast. Ooh, got me there. This next one is official podcast gang from Nicholas says, your, you are sound bites are trash. One star from November 29th. It's your, but it's the hyphenated, you are sound bites are trash. Maybe these people have an international

listenership, and that's why. I don't know. Who cares? I do think that people get passionate about these shows and the hang shows, as somebody who does one, you do get used to, oh, well, people like our show, does one, you do get used to, oh, well, people like our show, but yeah, you do have to remember that new listeners aren't going to be in on your inside jokes.

And as someone who listens to your show, like it's nice to have a reminder, like, oh, yeah, you should probably straighten this up. And remember when you're talking about something that your audience isn't letting on. And maybe stop and say, hey,, we're remember we're doing a podcast. Wouldn't that be refreshing? I would love to hear someone on a show say, hey, I know exactly what you're talking about because we talked about this three weeks ago, but not everybody does. So can we back up for one second and try to explain what the fuck is going on here for

people? That would be amazing if I ever heard that one time. I've actually done that because we have like a Facebook chat about like whatever subjects are coming up, like new stores and stuff like that. And somebody like, oh yeah, you know, like every member of that meme, you know, that was pretty awesome.

Like, okay, yeah, but it's a meme, dude. We're doing a fucking the internet show. Like, I do want to point out that we have 351 star reviews now on our iTunes page. I feel like that's a milestone. Seems like a milestone, right? 351 star reviews. I mean, you're not as good as Michael Rappaport,

but you know, whatever. Yeah, but the problem with Michael Rappaport is, this dude is fucking corny. Yeah, he's got us he's got us beat by a lot. This is true. All right. I do want to talk about Opie radio. We didn't talk about him last week. He's back. He's back and he's drinking with the locals. And am I asked you to listen to an episode? I don't know what your background is or your relationship is with Opie, but let's get into it. Opie radio. Opie radio podcast.

Did you listen to this episode number six, he called Drinking with the Loc locals? I listened to as much of it as I could stomach. Yeah, that's a good answer. It's a two hour long podcast. You know, I'll give him, I'll give OP this. It was far more entertaining to listen to than a Dak Shepherd show. Holy shit. High praise indeed, my friend. Well, that's because again, it wasn't boring. It was shitty and it got me riled up again, it wasn't boring. It was shitty and you got me riled up, but it wasn't boring. Really, you didn't think this was boring. All right,

well, I'm in a provey wrong. I have some clips out here that will show you just how boring and obnoxious this show actually is, this OP radio show. It starts off with a hilarious bit. Opie did a show from Carl Ruiz's house the previous week. He went over there and they ate food together. So then he starts up this next episode pretending that it's a different day. When it's really not, they had just gotten done recording the last episode. Wow, the Raviole I ate from last time I was here

is still on your red table. That's what happens in podcasts. With my Genesee ice empty on the table and my chocolate pudding, you would have thought that Carl would have cleaned that up by now. Really strange how that works. We get it. We get it, Opie. You just recorded the last show and now you're starting another one. Good one. Yeah, I don't know what that

did. Like that. Just just recorded another podcast. No one knows the inside baseball of it. Opie's just a corny, dude. and it's getting cornyer and cornyer. The way that they're opening the shows now, this is how they introduce the show. All right, so where are we off to? We're going to the telemarked tower. To have a drinky poo. With the locals, we're going to hit the local.

Yeah! Yeah! It's time for the OP radio calling with PAYLOR! All right, so this is how they start the show. They're gonna get in the car. They're gonna go drive to a bar. It's in New Jersey somewhere. Car Ruiz lives somewhere out in the woods. I don't know.

It's far away from any type of major metropolitan. They're gonna go to this towny joint. And we're supposed to be excited about this. This is in the third or fourth minute of the show, which is two hour one podcast. It's like, we're gonna go to a bar in the podcast. Merrr. That sounds terrible.

That's not like a terrible idea. I had the exact same clip and I specifically clipped it because of the like, oh, we're gonna get a drinky poo. Is that his thing now? Dude, listen to this. I had to pull the're gonna get a drinky poo. Is that his thing now? Like, we're gonna get a drinky poo. Listen to this, I had to pull the ice out. A drinky poo. I think that they're trolling me.

I think they're doing this on purpose. I'm like, oh, this is gonna set off Carl. If we say shit like a drinky poo, and then Opie does is, yeah! Yeah! Ah, it's so cringey. You know what said, I had the same thought. And in any reality besides the lunatic reality

that we live in, you would just be very arrogant for saying that, but the sad part is that somebody's famous is OP. Probably is. That's insane. They might be trolling me. And it's not even OP. It's Carl.

Now, OP and I have never interacted in any single way. He's never acknowledged us, which is the smart thing to do. And I recommend unless you're going to be classy about it like the OP was, I recommend if you don't like what we said, don't acknowledge it's the best way to go about it. Carl on the other hand has acknowledged it and we have way to go about it. Carl, on the other hand, has acknowledged it and we have tweeted at each other before. Not that I'm trolling him or anything like that. I only say nice things to him because I like Carl Ruiz.

But that's what makes me think that he might be doing this on purpose, knowing that I'm gonna pull this shit out because not long after he does the drinky poo thing, he is driving up, sees a buddy of his, and beats the horn to let him know they're going to the bar up there and he says this. Calls me up. Call, call me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me. Calls me.

Calls me. Calls. Calls Havonooch! Holy shw what the fuck is that? Well if Carl's listening, I just want to take a second to recognize something that Carl did. I thought it was OP because I couldn't tell the difference to any of their voices.

To me this sounds very similar. And Carl tells some story about his ex wife's boyfriend or something like that. Yes. If you'll play my OP number four. All right. Her new boyfriend gets out of the car and walks to the service counter who is my squad, ride or die. Right? Make a left up here.

So this is old school squad. We gamble together. You know what I mean? We've seen some shit. We in we were in chat and vietnam together now she's dating somebody who's that's carl's owing yeah so um... is there anything crainger than an old man who uses

language that a fifteen year would use like the in not only that but language that was like out of date like two years ago That's a squad writer Okay, whatever I don't know about you But I like to go to the And have a drinky poo and when I hear that we're gonna do that I'm like Everything about this is douchey and cringy and doucing.

It's nothing but douche chills, the entire episode. I'm so embarrassed for these guys. OP does this thing where there's this dude hanging out at the bar and they're talking to this guy and the guy's malleling entertaining. But OP decides he's going to high-five him. I finally agree with Gizmo though. Carl should have his old show under the food now. Yeah, they'll never do it. It's about time. But OP decides he's going to high five him Oh, he actually high five the dude at the bar. Do you know week this out? It's too. They barely connected on that high five. I think the problem with OP radio and I didn't I grew up in New Orleans

Where OP and Anthony didn't really catch on out here okay i don't know about a year so i'm not i wasn't around for their heyday you know but i think what's going on here is that opi is legitimately an old man who's trying to trying to stay cool and relevant to the point where i think he thinks that podcasting is just an extension of radio, but it's like, you know, like when Stern used to do his televised version of his radio show, I think he's just like, you know, like people like me and so they want to be in on my life. And I don't think he gets, I think he's trying to be relevant. And he's just really an old man who's seen his better days.

Oh, that's definitely true. He is an old man who's irrelevant and he doesn't understand the medium at all. He thinks that anything he does is entertaining because he leaves his recorder on for two hours while they're hanging out in the bar. You can't hear what most people are saying because they're not on mic

that you have no idea what's going on. Listen to this, he, Opie walks in and he's upset because the TV's are too loud. I have a beer, bro. Let's go, let's, it's, I know where it is. I took it from the kitchen. Ah, well peck. It happens. Got some cheese.

I see. Nothing but the best for us today. The best for the best. TV's really loud I don't think we can tell these guys that turn the TV down So you hear OP the TV is blaring He's trying to record a podcast. He goes man I'm trying to do a show here and these guys are just trying to hang out like it's a bar or something and watch TV

but then gets a bar or something and watch TV. But then, Opi gets recognized, and this is amazing, because as soon as Opi gets recognized, he now has superpowers. Who knows me? Told you. She got it like this. How do you know me? There's the Opi dancing.

Yeah. Now I do this. I'm not even trying to do this. I'm not even trying to do this. They feel bad for you. Tell them more taberns. I Did you hear what happened there? Oh, he says we can't tell him to turn the volume down the TV. And then he's recognized and now he's like, hey, can we turn the volume down the TV? It's like Green Lantern with his ring. All of a sudden he has super powers

because he was recognized by somebody. That's right, I'm a fucking celebrity. Turn the TV down, I'm doing a show. Everybody get around and watch me do my show now. Yeah, he's the guy from the Oian Anthony pot radio show that no one likes You're right what what I actually had that same those two clips I had the same thing and what's really interesting to me is that There's constant commentary that he's basically a nobody yes, and I

Don't like I have to wonder about the psychology of a guy like not to be dax-chepard for a minute, but like what's going on where, like, is he, does he actually have a good sense of humor, which I don't get the sense he does, or is he really oblivious to when people make comments like that, like, oh, you used to be on this famous radio show that everyone knows,

and now you're trying to record a podcast in a bar in the middle of nowhere. I think I can answer that question with this next clip. The person says that they know OP from television and Carl makes the joke. OP and Anthony actually introduced the XFL. They were pretty tight with the WWF back then and Vince McMahon. So they were on TV introducing that failed football league from 18 years ago that went nowhere. So Carl makes a joke as the woman thinks that she knows him from TV.

And hopefully does not handle this well. I was on the XFL. He got tackled by his part. No, I didn't have to cancel. I didn't more than that. I don't know, that's what I was saying. I did a bunch of TV, yeah. But I was more of a radio guy. I hope he immediately, he's trying to make a joke and we're going to go, no, no, no, no, no,

I did more TV than just the XFL thing. That's embarrassing, dude. So you think he's really just oblivious to? Oh, definitely. Do you hear how buttered he got no? No, I did more than that by the way open never did TV I know he was on Leno I know he's on Letterman But the other guys on the show Jim and Anthony used to go on these news programs all the time

They actually had opinions on things they were well informed they'd be on these roundtable discusses there on TV all the time Opie was never on TV because he has nothing to say and he's not an interesting person But as soon as they're like yeah, weren't you on TV? Carol's like yeah, I was saying he was on the XFL fucking 20 years ago. Oh, he's like, no! I went to Timor the just XFL thing. I'm a star. I'm still a star I think what it comes down to is like you know Jim Norton was vaguely famous before Opie and Anthony took him on.

And you know, so like if he stopped doing his podcast, what is it, the Sam and Jim or whatever it is, they're serious sucks out. Yeah. Okay, well, you know, he could just go off and just be a stand up. And obviously when Anthony Kumey got fired, he went and did like a video show. You get the impression that Opie couldn't really do anything but radio. And I think that's what he's struggling with. Yeah, you do get the impression because after he was fired for 10 months,

he did nothing. And then he started up a podcast where he does nothing. He just makes out with his friends and bars. So I get the sense he doesn't have a lot of talent. You know what he should do? He should really lean into this. He should just accept the reality. And just have like the Mopiopi podcast where it's just a man slowly descending into a madness and his basement.

Don't have Carl. Just have him drunk in his basement recording into. I'd listen to that. I'd listen to that. This is about as bad as what you just explained is what he's actually doing. This is him in a bar. People are talking off Mikey. You have no idea what's going on.

He's just saying you were. So I'm like, fuck this. I'm gonna take you. Wait, what do you say? I don't know what you are. I don't know what you were. So I was just gonna describe you. It's always good when you're doing a show

to have people who are nowhere near you Shouting out and then saying I didn't hear what he said. Can you repeat it? This is another incident where someone's yelling something and Opie's asking Carl if he heard that person Call you here. What are you doing over there? I'm going over there. No, take a picture. She thinks it's a TV. You think everything's a TV? I did.

No, back there. I'll put you in the podcast. And of course, another example of this. I can't believe you thought Dex Shaffer. All right, another example of this is when they're talking to each other in a loud crowded bar and Carl Reese had something and he has to repeat it. But he's doing a show at the same time.

I'll be doing it. Oh boy. Who's this? We call him Chet, because he looks like fat chef from here at Science. the same time. We call them chat because you would say fat chat from your side. Like chat fat chat from your side. Could you imagine doing a show where you make a joke? And when your call says, I'm sorry, what was that? And then you just repeat the joke again, only on opi radio is this even possible.

Well, Carl, like of the two of us, I'm assuming I'm the only one that's ever done a live remote Yes When it comes to Podcasting, you know, you you give a lot of like clues as to like what podcast should do to be better I've only done live remotes when necessary like if like there's for some reason my recording equipment isn't running We'll go out and we'll try to find some place quiet to record. There is no benefit to doing a live remote, especially, especially if you're in a crowded place.

First of all, the acoustics don't work. As you can tell from the clips that you've been airing. Right. Yes, if you do it and like say a Starbucks or a bar, and I've had this happen to me where I was recording with a woman and we were talking and or a bar and i've had this happen to me where i was recording with one with a woman and we were talking and having a conversation and a woman who worked at the starbucks was a cross from us

and i don't know the girl that's at something about harry potter and the starbucks chicks was a real harry potter fans so she just started having a conversation jesus that's a try to avoid when you're doing a show you want to keep things going you want to steer a conversation a certain direction Not just let any fucking random assholes are getting it out of the eggs But you can't control that Doing a live remote

This is the kind of shit that goes on in this Tony joint that they're hanging out in What kind of shit that goes on in this Tony joint that they're hanging out in This one pulls out her phone and the old piece is freaky. Oh, I got a phone you have what wow It's so exciting. It's not look again. I'm a hang show I'm not gonna like bitch about people doing that sort of thing But if you know regularly you don't have a lot to say Do do a little bit of read you know do come up with something there just pull up Facebook Somewhere on there is a story you can talk about instead of being in a taveroonie talking about someone to know me. I think you mean the uh...

The taveroonch. The taveroonch. Sorry, I like taveroonie better though. That makes so much sense what you just said. I don't have very much to say. So what I do is I pull a bunch of clips of other people saying ridiculous nonsense and then I play that. That's a way to fill time if you're trying to fill time,

so you can get your reads in, which by the way, OP does the worst reads in the history of podcasting. This is him talking about this toothbrush again. Time to get your Christmas shopping done. Time to run around the mall, Panicking, go what the hell am I gonna get for all these goddamn people in my life? That's a fucking read for a toothbrush.

There's no way these people are happy with that. You have to send in, here's the read that I did, and you have to send it to the company to listen back to. This guy's talking like a fucking lunatic. He can barely read, and he's talking about by this,

toothbrush instead of going to the mall and going shopping for your friends and family, how does that make any sense? Well, besides which, Carl, I mean, if you need a toothbrush, go to deepdesk.com. Deepdiscount.com is where you wanna go shopping for your friends and family. That's exactly right, my friend.

They have new releases. They have old favorites. primus is on there. Right, but we don't want our ad reads to go on forever, so we'll move on. Go ahead and who are these, all right, this is Opie talking about, this is just so embarrassing. He talks about how many subscribers

he brought into series like some. Oh, they gave me over there. As I was bringing in ridiculous subscribers and hated me the entire time. That was crazy, man. I still listen to you. My whole way, Trevor and South Carolina was nothing but fucking all the opian Anthony shit. Listen to it all the time. I'm not the podcast.

So that's a couple of things that opi does there. First he explains that he was the reason why serious exam was even successful. He brought in ridiculous subscribers, as he says. Well, they hated him, and all he did was take a picture of someone taking the shit. I mean, what? Yeah. Oh, what's the big deal?

All he did was make terrible radio that no one listened to while also harassing co-workers. I don't know why they hated you all for their opi. I have no idea. It makes zero sense. This guy who says, I used to like listen to OP and Anthony and OP says, well come on man, I got the podcast on. You got to get on board with that and he explains that he is moving on. So the point is, we're just trying to move on from the ONA stuff. This podcast is pretty bad. We're trying to move on from the ONA stuff. This podcast is pretty bad, man. Ooh.

We're trying to move on from the ONA stuff because now he's turning into my little pony show because this podcast is pretty damn good. I don't listen to any podcast to talk about how good their podcast is on their podcasts like that. Sincerely saying, this podcast is pretty good. We're doing a good job here. That's just embarrassing. He's doing a great job. He's talking about Nokia's and bananas, which pretty good. We're doing a good job here. That's just embarrassing

You know, great job. He's talking about no key is in bananas. Yeah. Oh, do you have a banana clip? My OP3. I can't believe you skipped over that All right Yeah, it is it's one of the famous bananas. So that banana's from Orlando It's one of the famous bananas. So that banana's from Orlando? Yeah, totally shit. I'm so gross. It's true though. How do you manage to gross me out?

I don't know. But with the best part is I had to give her an of all my liquids. I thought you could do eight ounces. Not anymore. So I lost my $20 juice boxes. Look at that. This is the beginning of the show.

And it's just like, oh, you got a banana from Orlando. Oh, man, real? That's crazy. What? And then it just like, oh, you got a banana from Orlando. Oh man, real that's crazy What? And then like, oh, you know, it's really crazy. They maybe get rid of all my liquids Yeah, this is a show like what you're you that's that's crazy You you got rid of all your liquids in an airport. It's not like that's something that happens literally 5,000 times a day Remember this is one of the most famous shock jokes to ever exist.

This guy talking about his banana from Orlando. Holy shit. So they're in the bar and then they go outside. They're talking to this gizmo guy. But remember, they told everyone in the bar they had to turn the TVs down. They're doing a podcast. It's all about them.

OP walks back in and Jesus Christ they got the music on too loud. We got to put a stop to that. Let's put us out to everybody's fun. Oh now the music is on. We can't podcast anymore Joke Yeah, we got shut the music off Just for a couple more minutes. Yeah pauses are Jesus. Burn it down. The first time anything interesting has been said to the

tell Mark Tabern shut the music off please. Thank you. So listen to how brazen they've gotten over this short time frame. They first get there they're like oh, we probably should keep it down. We'll go in the corner. Another walking, they're like, turn this fucking music off, a recording is show. What are you guys doing? These are people who are just hanging out in the bar trying to have a good time.

Opie says, can you pause it? We just need to cut more minutes. He goes on for another half an hour, rambling on with fucking nobody's about nonsense i i can't imagine walking into a bar and just telling that in luck and i get it he's he's famous but clearly not that famous to these people and but you you really like going to tell people like they can't listen to music

in a bar because you need record a podcast on your zone but go outside. It's surprising that this is still going on with a Westwood One podcast, that they're just going into noisy places, talking to nobodies about random bullshit. It's not entertaining in any single way. I don't know how much longer this is gonna go on for,

but I hope forever because it's amazing for our show. It's amazing this exists. Adam, I got a wrap things up here. These shows are going too long, but I did want to ask you because you and I have never met before. We've exchanged some emails. This is our first time doing a show together. I have to ask you, do you shit at work?

You know, I was gonna bring that up. I absolutely shit at work. You do. I was appalled at just the thought that I can't shit at work. If I'm gonna make, you know, only a few dollars above minimum wage at my age, I should at least get to shit all over the place.

But it's not about that. I know everyone's taking that angle where they wanna make some money while pooping But it's just disrespectful to your co-workers, isn't it? Shitting up the joint? Uh, no, because I keep the toilet clean. You should see the fucking animals that I work with. So that you're making my point for me. It's disrespect, maybe you're a good egg, but the cis respectful these other guys go in there.

They shit the whole place up and then you got to deal with it. If you look if you're if you're above the age of eight And you don't know how to aim your dick and you piss all over the toilet seat We should drag you out in the street and beat the shit out of you and let cars run you over I do this crazy thing where I leave the toilet seat up in the men's room because we should all be just standing and pissing There should be no toilet seat going up or down at any point That said if you have manners you keep it clean I look if you have a little accident There's a little every once in a while the stream goes rogue. We've all had it happen. Yeah clean up after yourself

flush after you take a shit and I'm good with it. I use the bathroom at work. So you've heard it here first, everybody. Flush after you've taken a shit. That's the rule. That's a good rule to go by, right? You know, you would think that that was something that would be go without saying,

but unfortunately there's a lot of people out there who need to hear that regularly. Fair enough. Well good, we've's a lot of people out there who need to hear that regularly. Fair enough. Well, good. We've covered a lot. We've talked about my accent, my crutch words. We talked about a Dak show for a minute. O.B.

The official podcast, our buddy, Kaya, the ancient aliens guy, we've covered it all. So that means it must be the time of the show. Everyone's favorite segment known as The teaser. The teaser. The teaser. The teaser. The teaser.

The teaser. The teaser. The teaser. The teaser. This is the part of the show. We play a clip from the show. We'll be reviewing next week to get people excited about WATP in the future.

I want people to subscribe to the show so it just shows up on your phone. You wake up in the morning, boom, podcast ready to go. And guess what? You're going to be excited at them. The show that we're reviewing next week is one that you've suggested as well as our friend Alicia has also suggested that you've suggested, as well as our friend Alicia has also suggested that you've been teasing at all episodes, so here it is.

Happy no, not November, everybody. I mean, that doesn't apply to us, right? We can still masturbate, unless you refer to your orgasm as a nut. I'm pretty sure women can still participate. Okay, so we're good. Okay, so guys, we're back at it again. Alex and Sophia call her daddy.

What if up guys, happy Wednesday? What can I sell a mosh star by? Ugh. This is call her daddy on the barstool sports network. It has been getting so much promotion. It's all I see everywhere all the time. It's in the top five comedy podcasts currently. This is episode nine called Faking O's and Three Sums O My.

This is a Dicti show. It's two eights talking about Sacks and their vaginas. This is what you this is a Dicti show. It's two eights talking about sex and their vaginas. This is what you were alluding to before that seems to be a new phenomenon that's going on in podcasting. Yeah, there's like, I'd say, I've seen at least six or seven podcasts that are just two women of varying stages of hotness.

Again, talking about you, you did one a few months ago, I forget which one it was, but guys we fucked, I think is what you're talking about. Yeah, they were, they were like the, in the top of the comedy podcast charge for some reason. Yep. And it's, it's a bizarre thing. It's just two women talking about sex and some reason it's listed in comedy. And there's a lot of vocal fry, and they're talking about, huh, they fuck a lot of guys all the time.

Why the heck? So I actually suggested to you, because I listened to a few minutes, because I like you never know. They might be entertaining. Sure. And I actually cut it all five minutes in when they suggested that they would send nudes

and exchange for five star reviews. Jesus Christ. Well, it's interesting because you said that over originally I said, you gotta do this show and you wanted the co-host and then we went back and forth, we decided to do DAX Show instead. And earlier this week, I got a note from Alicia who recommended another show that we did at one point,

I can't remember which one it was, but she said, yeah, I hope it's okay if I recommend another show. She put this one out there. And I'm like, yeah, I've been seeing this everywhere. Adam Wastis is talking about it. Makes a lot of sense to me. Let's tackle this. This seems to be the new genre in podcasting.

I thought OP show was for lonely people. Now here's a show for lonely people who cannot get a girlfriend. That's absolutely what these are. These are lonely masturbator. This is the target audience for this show. Yeah, I, we did talk about maybe doing this, but at the end of the day, I'm like, look, I'm enough of a massage and a sez it is. Do I really want to do a whole show where I'm just going to be talking about women as if they were lonely whores?

Oh boy. Now you're making me nervous about this. We're going to get a lot of shit for whatever we do on this show. Adam, thank you so much for taking the time today to do the show. I've enjoyed it. Do you have anything that you want to plug

for your podcast or anything you have coming up? Well, you know, it's funny. I asked you to do this show because it is one of my favorite shows. And unfortunately, the timing couldn't be more horrible because I will no longer be a podcaster after seven years with Metal Handagod. They're still going on. So it is a hang show.

It's everything the WATP hates pretty much everything. I listened to an episode you guys were talking about do you believe in ghosts or space aliens or Bigfoot and it was it was great man I put me right to sleep because there are times when I'm an insomniac and I just do not get the shut I need but I popped in your podcast and I was right out like what are these fucking assholes talking about who gives a shit? Oh my God, man, you just hit it. Like maybe we could actually make money.

We could be one of those podcasts that put you to sleep that make about billion dollars. I know we reviewed that long, long time ago, sleep with me. And that show, I've continued to listen to because that show will fucking put you to sleep. It is just droning on and on and on. But anyway, I'm sorry to hear that.

Let's tell our listeners though to please check out Metalhead of God since those are your bodies. I'm sure that they'll enjoy it. Yeah, I appreciate it. All right, cool. I don't think we did that any favors just now. Anyway, make sure to tune in WATP next week because it might be the episode we find out once and for all who are these podcasts sleep well every

pony great show good job everybody great job everyone what is this garbage how did they have a podcast? This is bullshit. It doesn't make any sense Rick. Well that's retarded. And the show has reached a new low. Oh, I'm going to get the fuck. You get the shit and you get the fuck.

You know, quit. Stop. Hard casts. I don't know. I don't get it. Makes no sense. I don't know. I don't get it. Makes no sense. I don't know. I don't know. Makes no sense. I don't know.

Makes no sense. Yeah
