Who Are These Podcasts? - Ep134 - Notsam Wrestling

Episode Date: December 25, 2018

This week we listen to the worst professional broadcaster, Sam Roberts, read through his WWE fan fiction. This is a podcast that is hosted by a professional radio personality and not just some teenage boy in his bedroom... I think. Jen from the Jingles Department joins the show to discuss The Official Podcast's official response to last week's episode, Opie's drunken rant about Ant and Jimmy, and Opie's road trip to Rochester to visit his mentor. Also, Carl Ruiz comes up with a new nickname for the city of Buffalo. I'll give you three guesses. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We encourage our listeners to give us a 5 star review on iTunes, but then shit all over us in the comments section. We enjoy reading those reviews. Today we'll be reviewing a podcast called Not Sam Russelling. Yeah.

Yeah, so this is a podcast that is hosted by Sam Roberts. Yep. Sam Roberts was an intern on the Opin and Anthony show. Which I love. And then somehow is now the host of his own morning show on serious exam, as well as this podcast about wrestling. Yeah. Professional wrestling. Yes. Is what this podcast about wrestling. Yeah. Professional wrestling.

Yes. Is what this guy talks about? And boy does he talk about it. Holy shit, he can't shut up about it. I don't know how you would have so much to say about that stuff. The things that he did, he interviews people. We listened to a Mick Foley episode. You listened to Dan Soder.

I did. Yep. I decided to take the edge off. At least I got to listen to Dan Soder. Yeah, Dan Soder is a funny guy So those two guys just talked about wrestling and we're not funny at all. Not really unfortunately But this is the kind of thing that you when you listen to Sam talk about wrestling. This is the kind of compelling information you hear about

The Gargano heel turn I just you know, I say the Gargano's heel turn is my number two story, but man, NXT is just, to me, under a new renaissance. The Gargano heel turn was his number two story. Uh huh. Do you understand what he's talking about? And I'll do you know what NXT is? You know what? I mean, I actually, one of my notes that I made was that they might as well be speaking in French. Because I don't know what they're talking about. I don't know anything about wrestling. So I don't feel like it's all necessarily the best judge of this podcast. This is for wrestling fanboys and we are not those.

Which I know very little. I mean, I know a couple of wrestlers, but I don't know anything else. Right. And so I had to do a ton of googling as I was listening to the show I'm like, yeah, he's talking about NXT and he's he had this one part of the episode with Mick Foley where he interviews this other woman and it's just saying I'm talking to the woman. He doesn't ask her any questions. He just goes out and out and out and he's talking about, oh, you're gonna be an NXT in New Orleans, right?

Yeah, and I'm like, what the fuck? So apparently, WWE is the main professional wrestling thing that people watch. They have their own minor league version of that, where these professional wrestlers are part of NXT, and then they get called up to the big leagues when they're a good enough wrestler, I don't even know how this works. I don't care how any of it works. I don't care.

But you know what? On the second half of the day on Soda One that I listened to, you didn't even have a second person to interview. He just talked by himself. Yes. For about 55 minutes. Yes, 55 minutes.

And what he decided he was going to do because Russell Mania is coming up at this part Right is he is going to predict every single thing that's gonna happen in Russell Mania He's gonna tell you when the match is gonna happen what's gonna happen in the match? He went through the entire thing As if anyone would give a shit about this. It's not what's going to happen It's just his prediction of every single thing.

He sets it up like this. And then I decided it would be fun to take all of the matches happening at WrestleMania 34. I put them in order, I booked to the show and I'll tell you what I think should happen in each of them, okay? So that's what we'll do. Fun for who though?

Even if I liked wrestling, I don't think I'd like that. I think it's ridiculous. What's odd to me, when you listen to sports talk, they are constantly predicting what's gonna happen in a game. Right. Because nobody knows. Like, are the Eagles gonna win the Super Bowl

against the Patriots? It doesn't seem likely, and we could speculate about it for weeks and talk about that sort of thing. Professional wrestling is a scripted show. This is like speculating on what the new 90210 is gonna be about. The new 90210? I could think of a single fucking TV show. I don't watch TV.

What, what are you going to do? I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it. I don't know. Oh man. But why are you speculating about something that is scripted out, that is written? And the crazy part is, Sam Roberts works for the WWE. He's actually employed by them.

Oh, he is? Oh yeah. Doing what? Doing what's a great question. This is where he talks about how he's gonna be in the crowd with the people. I'll be a man with a microphone amongst the people. They are during the WrestleMania kickoff shows. So if you see me say hello and follow me around and maybe

we'll get your mug on camera. Hopefully some of you guys are wearing Sam Roberts t-shirts and not Sam t-shirts and it'll motivate me even more to get you guys on there. So how embarrassing is that? Can you please wear my t-shirt too? And then I'll try to get you on camera. So I think what he does is he doesn't like the pre-show or maybe it's like during the show. He's like the guy out in the crowd talking to people. I don't even know. I don't watch this stuff.

But he's employed by the WWE to do this? Yes. And he's trying to predict every single match. Like, dude, can't you just go grab the script and find out what's gonna happen? You work for them. This is what's crazy about this whole thing. Sam Roberts, this show, if you listen to it,

you didn't know who Sam Roberts is, which I would imagine most people wouldn't. You would just think that this is a teenage boy putting on a show for himself. It sounds like that. But that is what he's doing. He's putting on the show for himself. This is not really for anybody.

It's for wrestling fans. And I get it. There's a lot of wrestling podcasts out there. I like Dix-Take on it. You could like wrestling, but let's not really for anybody. It's for wrestling fans, and I get it. There's a lot of wrestling podcasts out there. I like Dix-Take on it. You could like wrestling, but let's not talk about it. Right. But it's for wrestling fans, but the production value of it, everything about it doesn't sound anything like there's any reason for people to be listening to this outside of this little boy's bedroom. Right.

Who's recording this show? When I found out this was at the podcast we were going to be doing, yeah. I was a band practice, a couple of the guys in my band are really into wrestling and I had them. Oh, really? Okay. Would you listen to a wrestling podcast? Because they'll have conversations

every once in a while about wrestling, which is insane. Yeah. But then the conversation lasts tops five minutes. And then it's over. And then they're done talking about it. And then everyone's embarrassed. I'm embarrassed for that. Right.

But I don't think that they didn't know I wouldn't listen to it. Why would you? Especially when the only thing he's talking about is what's gonna happen at WrestleMania except that it's not what's gonna happen at WrestleMania. It's what he thinks should happen. And then he actually tries to recreate the show for us listeners. And I would have Miz introduced first. You know, if you go, we're here.

We're live at WrestleMania. Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba- This is what I mean when I say it sounds like a teenager. Yeah. Because he's singing the intro songs for the rustlers. This is just so embarrassing. What match can possibly follow? Oscar versus Charlotte. Oscar getting her first defeat. And then Carmella coming in and cashing in. Denenenen. Denenenen.

Denenenen. Denenenen. Denenenen. Kevin Owens and Sammy Zayn come out. Dude, what the fuck is wrong with this guy? Dinnin'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in'in' But this podcast made me want to cry. I almost started crying while I was listening to it because I was so bored It's so boring and I couldn't be attention And I was like I have to listen to this because I have to know what I'm talking about and I literally almost burst into tears because I was so frustrated It's terrible It's and I don't understand why this guy he calls himself the last professional broadcaster

He's he's like the last crew Magnum man. I don't know Why he thinks it's a professional broadcaster, except for the fact that he is actually a professional broadcaster. He's not compelling, he's not provocative, he's not an interesting person to listen to. He used to bring fodder to the show. He was the guy who would listen to the jocks that they would then play back

and make fun of during Joctober. But Sam Roberts is not an interesting person I've listened to his morning show with Jim Norton. It's nothing Yeah, I have a little shit passing time. Yeah, there's nothing interesting or compelling to latch on to and then when he's talking about wrestling Holy shit, Jen, I've been playing all the class. What do you what do you want to well real quick though? Before we move on I Want to say this you said you know you like Sam Roberts and I never had a problem with the guy Holy shit, Jen, I've been playing all the class. What do you want to do? Well real quick, though, before we move on. I want to say this, you said, you know, you like Sam Roberts and I never had a problem with the guy.

But then this fucking asshole has been so, he's such a weasel. He's never come out on either side of the ONA thing. He always wants to stay in the middle. To the point where when we did the OP show and it was a big deal, everyone in the ONA universe was talking about us talking about OP the first color they picked up that next morning says how are you guys not talking about this podcast it

just came out make make it fun of OP radio and Sam immediately deflected and just like oh yeah I don't know anything about that and then start talking about a shoes or something yeah totally not you could have they could have fucking talked about that would have been interesting for people. And Sam just never wants to get involved in anything interesting. He just wants to talk about fashion and rappers. Like, okay, we got to go.

Well, she doesn't want to burn any bridges. He just, I think he understands that his job is precarious at best. Well, it's not working out for him because Opie's been calling him out big time lately. He's been calling him a weasel. He didn't like the way that he handled the Judy Gold interview.

Who gives a shit? It's Judy Gold. Judy Gold's a comedian. Okay. Who was on Opie's show recently and then went on Jim and Sam this past week and whatever. I thought that Opie's new show was supposed to be a love fast. It is a love fast, except for,

when Opie gets a Jirank, which I'll be playing you a little later. Oh boy. He's fucking, gets right past the guardrail love fast, except for when Hopi gets a Jirank, which I'll be playing you a little later. Boy. He fucking gets right past the guardrail after drinking for three or four hours at Gavhards and it's interesting. Jen, you have any clips you want to play from this show? This is why I was starting to get so frustrated because they started talking about they're guessing what order should these matches go in.

So that's track one. Okay, so this is Sam talking to Dan Soder. Yes, who's a very good. It's a really good comedian who I really like and I usually like him and any Trow I listen to right? There's the exception except for this one in hindsight punk Undertaker you think that match had gone on last instead of John Cena in the rock How do you not put on John Cena in the rock last? I don't care. It's twice in a lifetime. Yeah, but only twice. Pumpkin. Yeah, you just want pumpkin the undertaker to go on last. That was the best match

of that WrestleMania. And because Europe set that punk left because he didn't go on last. You know, sure. But all in's going gonna be cool Weird how they regress yeah, and this listening to this They are 12 yes They talk like 12 year olds at one point so you they brought the rock right there right When Sam is doing his predictions for this WrestleMania coming up He has the whole idea of how the rocks gonna gonna come out, and he plays this all out. And listen to him, Jesus' pants at the end of the clip. Ew.

Then he starts talking about how much New Orleans sucks. New Orleans sucks, New Orleans sucks, New Orleans sucks. Only to be interrupted by, if you smell! Oh my God, as if we couldn't get more excited. Here comes the rock to interrupt Elias. That's when Elias says he doesn't know, I mean, the rock says, it doesn't matter what Elias' name is when Elias says he doesn't know, I mean the rock says, uh, it doesn't matter what Elias' name is, he does all his catch phrases, he catches Elias,

takes a swing, he catches them with the rock bottom, rock gets up on the second rope, puts his hand in the air, puts his eyebrow up, and everybody in New Orleans just goes nuts for the guy, because he's just the greatest dude ever. He was stumbling over himself to gizz all over the rock. I mean, it is pretty remarkable how excited he is about wrestling. Yeah. I don't know how anybody could be that excited about it. He knows a lot about it.

I don't care. Can we talk about the fact that he also sucks at broadcasting? This is Sam who, this is the only thing he does is broadcast. And this is how great he is at it. We talk about, I just had it in my head and I completely blank out because I was getting something ready that I'm going to throw to. You see what I mean?

Yeah, I do see what you mean Sam. You're not very good at this. He should have cut that part out. I would have thought so. I would have cut that part out. I would have thought so. I would have cut that part out. What else you got there? Okay, so and then Dan Soder and Sam started talking about, who do you think is gonna get the loudest crowd reaction?

Okay. You know, he undertaker coming out, dude, is gonna get- How about just loudest reaction? Not biggest pop, loudest reaction, because- I'm gonna mix two things together. My theory on what's gonna happen in the loudest reaction, not biggest pop loudest reaction because I'm gonna mix two things together My theory on what's gonna happen in the loudest reaction I think is gonna go when Paul Heyman Teams up the Roman Reigns. You think that's gonna happen. Yes. I think Roman Reigns is gonna beat Brock Lesnar

And I think Roman Reigns will become a not a good guy. I'm not a bad guy. I'm a Paul Heyman guy What what although while I've heard this theory it Kind of sounds to me like everybody that always wanted John Cena to turn heel Take it What the fuck with this they're pretty to use gonna get the loudest crowd reaction who could possibly give a shit about this Well, he's got a lot of, well, that's the thing. He doesn't have to feel so much time, but he feels a lot of time, so they talk about every tiny detail.

Oh, since you brought that up, I hate this about Sam. He's very much a radio guy. And you can tell on his podcast that he's constantly teasing what's coming up next. He's constantly just trying to fill time and make it as long as possible. He starts off the McFolly episode, teasing because he's already pre-recorded the interview.

So now he's gonna be talking about everything that they're gonna be talking about, which is something that's completely unnecessary. You do not need to do this on a podcast. And we talked about the Twitter deletion. I think McFolly is now back on Twitter, but, and we also talk about Becky Lynch calling herself the man, but Mick deleted his Twitter,

which I didn't even realize. It's back now, I believe, but for a while it was deleted. So we talk about that. We go deep into female singer songwriters. Mick talks about his physical change. We talk about when he's gotten frustrated. With WWE and the fact that he's sent over, we talk about the work he's done on his handwriting. We've got a lot to break down with Mick Foley.

If he is trying to tease this interview, that's a terrible way to do it. We talk about his handwriting and singer songwriters who was interested to hear about any of this shit. Not. You know if you're the biggest Mick Foley fan, you interested to hear about any of this shit. Not me. You know if you're the biggest Mick Foley fan, you want to hear him talk about deleting his Twitter and his handwriting. So I just pulled together real quick this fucking dummy, doing those little teases, and then fast forward to what the actual payoff was. And mostly it's nothing.

Mick talks about his physical change. You know, I did, I worked the rehabs hard last year on the hip and the knee. Oh wow, he worked on his fucking physical therapy. Great, great story. Oh, remember that tease where he said that Becky Lynn is the man. And we also talk about Becky Lynch calling herself the man.

Becky Lynch. Yeah. Is hashtag the man. And we also talk about Becky Lynch calling herself the man. Becky Lynch. Yeah. Is hashtag the man. Why do you why is that why do you say that? She just came up with the phrase and the man. The man. Just I'm the man. I said Len. Becky Lynch. Which is a terrible rustling name by the way. Becky Lynch. That's her rustling name. Yeah. It's stupid. So the story was because we remember Sam had to tease this. Yeah. Becky Lynch is the man and McFolly says she called herself the man. Who gives a shit? All right. This deleting Twitter thing is a very big deal in Mr. Roberts world. this is again teasing that and then the big pay off the big story

uh... and we talked about uh... the twitter deletion i think makefully is now back on twitter but mick deleted his twitter which i didn't even realize uh... it's back now i believe but for a while it was deleted so we talk about that she deleted twitter uh... yeah yeah it's uh... i was having a bad day and i had a bad But for a while it was deleted. So we talk about that. So you deleted Twitter? Yeah, yeah. I was having a bad day and I had a bag of potato chips and I realized that I had a Twitter addiction and I was going cold turkey. When I come back

maybe I can use it more responsibly. That's fascinating. Please go on. Yeah. That was the compelling thing. So Sam teased it in the very, very beginning. Then he teased it again. Then he asked the question. And then in the post mortem, he breezed up a fourth time. Here is Sam Roberts. Hardcore legend, Mick Foley. What a gem, huh?

What a gem. Now I think he is back on Twitter since we recorded the... Ah, but it's not crazy. Oh, fucking cares. Now I think he is back on Twitter since we recorded the... Ohhhhhhh! But it's not crazy. Oh! Fucking cares! Why is that crazy? The guy got rid of Twitter for a little while and then came back!

And but he didn't even realize he was gone. In the first place, which is why I can't believe he's still talking about it. Uh, alright, this is the last one that I want to play. So the tease and then this big payoff. This is the singer-songwriter piece. Did you listen this episode, this Mc the last one that I want to play. So the tease and then this big payoff, this is the singer-songwriter piece. Did you listen this episode, this microphone way up? I did listen to it and I did listen to this part of it as well. And if I had pulled clips from that,

I would have pulled a clip from this. Yeah, yeah, well, we'll have much to talk about with us. Yeah. We go deep into female singer-songwriters. Well, can you rank, and this is gonna be a tough question, because, but can you rank Tori Amos? Oh, don't do this to me, Orange. Oh, God, yeah.

And you'll, oh man. So this is Dummy's version of Going Deep with singer-songwriters. You wanna rank Tori Amos, Nora Jones, and Jewel. Right. Wow, some deep polls there Sam who cares well deep with this well McFolly is a creepin' half about jewel too which I think is really gross I am too I get it you're a creep about jewel yeah of

course we all are well we're all a little creepy about you all yeah well I you wouldn't broadcast it well you just did so. Wait a shit on your point. This is the interview with Mick Fully. Sam Roberts is so good at broadcasting that even the guest is uncomfortable when the conversation just dies. I wasn't giving people breaks they deserve. That was the real downer about it. I was like I'm not used to this. giving people breaks they deserve. That was the real downer about it. I was like, I'm not used to this. They go, that was a silent pause, a dramatic pause.

It's a odd thing because like... Yeah, great interviewing skills, stupid. Good job, the guests is even sitting there going, ah, were you still talking? What just happened? Where'd you go? Ah, man. I have a clip from this conversation with Dan Sotar.

See, I'm like, clip I pulled of those two guys talking to each other, but this is just depressing. Here's how the pre-show goes for me. Women's Battle Royal opens the whole thing. What time is that start? 5 p.m. Eastern. Women's Battle Royal, Cruiserweight Championship match. And we're looking at six hours. Seven.

Seven hours of wrestling hours. Seven hours, yes, we're looking at six hours seven hours of seven hours. Yes, we're looking at seven and then seven hours of rest seven. Oh, man. Oh, man. Oh, man. It's about what it should be. Seven hours. Seven hours of professional wrestling. That's too much. That's way too much professional wrestling. I mentioned on the last show that I used to watch wrestling, and I want to clarify something. I never cared about the wrestling matches themselves. That's the most boring part about wrestling. I like the shit talking, the story development. It was very funny at times. You had these characters on there, and you're looking to be like, I'm a fucking crazy person. Oh my god, I can't believe what I'm hearing.

It was very funny at times. And then you'd have these big paper view events, a WrestleMania or something, and take all those things out of it. There's no shit talking, there's no fun. It's just actual rustling matches. It's, as body would say, boring as shit. Uh-huh. Watching two guys in the ring throw each other around

in a fake rustling match is not entertaining. And for seven fucking hours. Well, I would argue that even with all the pageantry, it's still boring as shit. I think you're not watching it at all. I think you're probably right about that. Yeah, at all. I have a track.

It's kind of a long clip. Okay. But it encapsulates the mania of these two people talking about wrestling. Okay, it's three. It's gay for wrestling, because I still have to go. I think Braun Strowman has taken Roman Reigns spot. Oh.

And they're too committed to Roman Reigns. They're like, no, we're gonna try, but it's that thing of where you're like, you know how when you're in a long-term relationship, it takes half the relationship to get out of the relationship? Yeah. Part of me feels like

they're in the getting out of the relationship with Roman Reigns, dude. Yeah, because they have a crush on Braun. And they're like, I could definitely get Braun, and I think my life would be so good if it were just me and Braun. So big. Right. He's just Roman's fine, and I like his wet hair, but Braun's so big. You know, I thought Roman was what I wanted, because he's so hot.

But I turned out I wanted more of a big guy with personality. Braun's strongman gets me. He does, we just click. Yeah, I feel like I bet he, I like showing off Roman Reigns to people, but I want to spend all my time with Braun. I mean, I just want to go home to Braun. Right.

Yeah. I'm uncomfortable. You see, bitch, you think right now? I don't like what these guys are talking about and how they're talking about it. Are you breaking out in a sweat? I am. You should be. It's so gross.

Ugh. It's really uncomfortable. Yeah. They are so into it. I guess I maybe am a little jealous. I don't have anything in my life. I'm that passionate about. But.

Yeah. You don't have anything you don't want to watch for seven hours. Oh, there's tons of things I'd rather watch for seven hours. No, I'm saying you don't have something in your life that you're like stoked about because you're gonna spend seven hours watching it. Maybe bake off. Yeah, probably. I could watch bake off for seven hours.

I think you have actually. I have watch bake off for seven hours. Okay, fair enough. What else do you have out there? This is just another Sam Roberts theory. It's his final theory. But this is comes after about 20 minutes of discussion. And so it's track for you know, black, he's still wearing black. He still looks like the undertaker, but he's clearly not

the undertaker. He's now this man who John Cena attacked as a man. So you know, he comes bandana around the head. Bandana is fine. Black bandana. Okay. Black bandana. And black bandana Okay black bandana and then The undertaker beats John Cena and The undertaker goes out on top and that match in my book closes WrestleMania You got a good theory of okay, that's what I do if it's my WrestleMania Who gives a shit who who gives a fuck?

Mm-hm. That was, that was the end of about a 20 minute theory about what's gonna happen with the Undertaker. And the crazy part is that after him and Dan talk about WrestleMania for way too long, Sam then spends another 45 minutes talking about WrestleMania. I know, they don't stop talking about it, that's all they do. There'd be one thing to analyze what happened at WrestleMania.

That would make a little bit of sense to me. But the fact that he's just talking about something that hasn't happened yet, and speculating and all the things that might happen. Who is this possibly for? It's crazy. Who doesn't value their time at all? Well. And is spending their time with this this nonsense if he is making money. I get it I guess he's employed. I'm not asking about his listeners. Who's listening to that? Well, that's that's a good question

It's crazy. That is a good question. I don't know and he has a sponsor He does a shitty live read because he's such a great professional broadcaster However, it gets in the way a lot of times. Because what happens is the ticket buying process becomes so overly complicated and ridiculous that I go, oh, forget it. And I end up missing my favorite things. Well, I never have to anymore. And it's all because of my friends at SeatGeek. SeatGeek is one of the most wonderful supporters of not Sam wrestling. Nobody can talk naturally when they're reading ad coffee.

No. It turns everyone into a fucking moron, doesn't it? That's tough. It's tough, I would bet. This is great. Sam Roberts is explaining all these matches are going to happen in WrestleMania. And at the same time, there's like a chat room that he's looking at. So even though he's only talking himself, he's it from time to time, reading messages that are coming in, because I'm guessing this is like a live show. He does.

Maybe it's a YouTube live show or something. And he's reading these messages as they're coming in. This is him explaining that everything that's going to happen on this Russell Mania that he's just predicted, he enjoys. Okay. So now we're at match 11. And it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's,

this is your, your bathroom break. Well, I mean, the way I see it planned out is really not a bathroom break because everybody wants to see Rusev, he's so popular. So if you have Rusev winning, you know, none of these are skippable matches in my mind. If you lay it out like this and you do it this way. In his mind, this is going to be a really exciting show. Yeah, no fucking shit, Sherlock. This is all made up by you. You wouldn't come up with something that you didn't find interesting. Right. But it's not interesting. It's not, it's, it's not reality. Who cares?

I just can't believe the amount of hours he spends doing this. It's, surprising. It's crazy. It's like the rantings of a madman. He also is so good at predicting what's gonna happen. Maybe Aleister Black wins this year, you know? Who knows? Maybe one of the street profits win this year. You never know who's gonna win this thing.

Yeah, great prediction stupid. No, they do know. Yeah, I know, you never know. You actually do know somebody wrote it down. Somebody does know. And then they communicated it to all the other wrestlers who also have to know. This is insane.

It's no surprise that the rock went on to become one of the highest paid actors because he started out wrestling acting. A script. Yeah, he's very good at it. Yeah, he's terrific. It's very funny. He brought back action films.

Alright, I think I'm, I don't want to talk about the rock with you anymore. Well, now I'm just starting to get into it. I know, I feel like we're starting to pick up. We're going to start talking wrestling at any minute now. You have got more clips on here, anything else you wanna play? Sure, you can play five. Oh, I can.

You can, if you would, that'd be great. It's just, so Shawn Michaels, the best free kid. Yeah. I'm aware. Sam goes on and on about his hair cut. Just, you don't have to play it if you don't want to. He's very gay for Shawn Michaels. And everybody else. Honestly, I think Sean Michaels cutting his hair is the last vestige of hope that anybody could have had that he might return to the ring. Sean

cut his ponytail off. He doesn't even have the Dutch boy haircut that he had when he first got back to WWE. He has short hair. He has a man's haircut for the first time in his wrestling life anyway. Sean Michaels has a man's haircut, and that's a sad, sad day for all of us. Hopefully that's the end of that conversation. You would think. And he doesn't continue to talk about a man's haircut,

because why would anyone care about that? Well, just wait, because six, which is my last clue. Oh, fuck, really? 10 minutes later, I cut out the middle part. But because that means he's really not coming back, because the heartbreak kid is not coming back with short man hair, you know, sexy boy hair. Now he just man, I mean, you know, still an attractive guy. But the long mullet, that was a

sexy boy. Short hair is the haircut of a handsome well-to-do man. And that doesn't have the same ring to it. So I think that that does officially put a nail in the coffin of the wrestling career of the heartbreak. Well, that's retarded. He's lost his ever-loven mind at that point. I think he's really kind of gone off the deep end

because he's been talking about it for so long. Yeah. And that's pretty much when I quit. Do you think he's getting positive reinforcement from this podcast? Are people telling him that it's good? Is he, I mean, this show has been going on for a long time. He's, he's,

McFoyle was episode two-ten and he's had a lot of shows since then. He must be. I mean, not that we ever do this show, but... Right. I only get a magnificent back all the time. He must be. I mean, not that we ever do this show, but. Right. I only get a knackered feedback all the time. We keep it going. I'm just wondering what people are saying to him

that makes him think that he's putting on a good show. Are there people who say, oh my god, I loved how you spend 50 minutes talking about every single match that you want to happen at WrestleMania and how it would go down and seeking people's intro music. It's like somebody theorizing about what's gonna happen in the next Marvel movie. Right. It's possible.

People definitely know what is gonna happen. There's definitely an outcome to the movie because somebody's writing it or has written it. But yet you, on your own, having no knowledge of what's gonna happen, Prattle on and on, about what could possibly happen. Who are you? Listen to that. I don't know. I just did and I'm really pissed off about it.

I apologize. I know it's not fun. That's all I have for Sam Roberts. I mean, it's wrestling. It's probably not for us. It's definitely not for me. But it's surprisingly poorly done. You know, he's not a good format to it. It's just, and it's surprisingly poorly done.

You know, he did buy me- He's not like a format to it. It's just, and it's hours long. It is hours long. His voice didn't bother me. His banter didn't bother me. If I didn't have to pay attention to the content, it's not something that sounds annoying to me. Yeah.

But when I had to try to pay attention to what they were saying, that's when I almost lost my mind. Yeah, you shouldn't pay attention to what they're saying. It's really dull. I wouldn't. Yeah, I'm you shouldn't pay attention to what they're saying. It's really dull. I wouldn't recommend it. The sound of it's not terrible. I've listened to podcasts before where I wanted to rip my earballs out because the sound of their voices. You listen to W ATP. I sure have.

Well, speaking of W ATP, you know, we had Dick Masterson on the show on our last episode. That was great. And Dick went on his show the next day, because we record on Saturdays, he records on Sundays, we come out on Sundays, he comes out on Tuesday. He goes on his show the next day and explains that he's very hungover because he did WGP with me the day before

and started drinking at 11 a.m. No. But I was very excited to hear him rave about WATP. So I'm going to play this clip for you. So of course, as you'd expect, his podcast on iTunes has about 401 star reviews because everybody who he reviews

gets pissed and then comes and leaves shitty comments on his show. Sure. But he's great. Like he puts more work into a podcast than I've ever seen. And this is a guy who goes on a lot of people's shows. I don't know how he does it. I was even asking him about that before we recorded.

You're on people's shows all the time. How do you fight diaper this shit? And he loves it. He just likes to sit in his basement drinking and going on people's shows. But I do appreciate that he picks up on how much work we put into this fucking show. He's the only guy doing a podcast who's not actively apologizing for his content while he's doing it.

Like he's got regimented clips set up. He's got his takes on them. He's got bits. He's incredible. And I use that as an excuse, as I always always do to start the drinking at like 11 in the morning When I was on his show yesterday he keeps everything a little looser He's a man after my own heart. That's right. So then later on in his show much later on in his show Kaya calls him now if you remember we were talking about Kaya

Who's a host on the official podcast and how I I did a bonus episode, and then Dick immediately started ranting, what the fuck with these guys putting people on their bonus episodes, we had a paywall, so Dick got it laid into him a little bit. And I think it's because I was maybe the third or fourth person in a row who he heard say that, that I was booked on the official podcast on a bonus episode. I wasn't complaining about it. Now, Dick immediately kind of jumped on him a little bit. Kayak, I was talking about one of our shows come out

because this is important to the story. Kayak was listening to WATP as soon as it dropped on Sunday. Hurd us talking shit about him and called to the dick show while he was still on the air recording. It's amazing how quick Kayak jumped on us. Is this about me being on who are these podcasts? Oh, yeah, I just listened to that. He just doesn't tell that's a good show Yeah, he released it just as you two started streaming and I was already midway into it So I figured I finished that first and I came across that little bits where you two talk about being bonuses on our show

And I felt terrible. I'll be honest with you. Oh, don't feel bad No, there's very good reason. Look, see the thing is, so this is very funny. Oh my God. This is like inception. Kai calls it to explain that he feels bad. We were talking shit about it immediately. Dicks like, oh, no, no, don't feel bad. So Dick has to explain himself. This is a longer clip, but I find this capali. I wait. Let me explain to Sean what happened. Let me explain to Sean what happened. So the Kaya's on the official podcast,

another great show, he's got a couple co-hosts. And they asked me to be on, I think it was like right after the lawsuit or something like that. So I went on and it was a great show. But then I find out afterwards that it was a bonus content show. I was like, well, that sucks because now anybody who wants to hear,

like, if there's a lot of dedicated people to listen to this show, if they want to hear me, they got to go pay money to these guys. Pretty fucking smart brother. Pretty fucking smart. Pretty smart. So I bought it. All right, you sons of bitches, for it. She fucking smart. Ready? Smart. So I thought, I respected you. I respected you.

All right, you sons of bitches. You got me on that one. Then I hear they did the same thing to Munky Jones. He was on a stream with his grandma talking about how he got invited to your show, but it was a bonus episode. And you could see on his face, I'm going, well, I mean, you know, I guess that means, I'm sorry. I'm sorry to all the people who want to hear me so bad

that they got to pay for something that they otherwise wouldn't have paid for. So then I was on car, who are these podcasts? Same fucking thing happened to them. And I said, all right, what's going on with these official podcasts? Because they're just tricking everybody into... So, so Nick, you know, sums it up nicely

better than I just did. And now this is Kai's explanation. And rotate and you back to back or something, I think there was two very controversial episodes. And by controversial, I mean, the vast majority of people like them, but there was this minority of douchebags who just said to whine about how offensive it was

in this episode. Of course. Ever since then, I don't really get to pick the guests just to go and go. Pop your cups and do more. To strike back to back in. Yeah, so see, when I pick guests through the bonuses, I have more leeway. So what I really do is I pick people that I personally enjoy just so I will get to talk to them.

So it's more of a selfish thing. Okay. And I also know because it doesn't. I mean, it has a few upsides like there's no ads that I have to awkwardly shuffle in while I'm talking to this person that I like. Yeah. But yeah, that, you know, we we shafted mum key. Serious. That's right. Everybody from the dick show gets stuck in the next video. I'm gonna see you in the next video. I'm gonna see you in the next video. I'm gonna see you in the next video. I'm gonna see you in the next video. I'm gonna see you in the next video. I'm gonna see you in the next video.

I'm gonna see you in the next video. I'm gonna see you in the next video. I'm gonna see you in the next video. I'm gonna see you in the next video. I'm gonna see you in the next video. I'm gonna see you in the next video. I'm gonna see you in the next video. I'm gonna see you in the next video. I. And I will ask, he does. I love that accent so much. And I will point out the fact that he actually DMed me right away as soon as he heard us talking about it and apologize to this guy's apologizing up and down to everybody. And again, I really enjoyed

going on their show and I was thrilled that they had me as a guest on the official podcast. So Thrilled that they had me as a guest on the official podcast. So we're excited Hopefully we'll get Kaya on this show someday soon because we like that guy a lot Anyway, I just wanted to get you caught up on that thought that was interesting We had to talk about Opie because we didn't talk about him at all last week That doesn't mean we don't have to do that. Oh, no, we do. Oh, we know most certainly do. We're way behind. Oh, we's putting on all these episodes. But before we do that, let me take a minute to tell you about our new sponsor.

The Opie radio podcast. Opie is back at Gap Hearts. What did you... Can you believe it? I can't believe it.

Oh, you can't believe it? I surely can. Well, that's weird because he mentions the reason why his show is so good. That's why Rialik shows a pretty popular, or a radio show like Me and Ant did over the years and what I'm doing with the solo shit. It's unpredictable. That's where the good shit comes from and that's where the audience comes in. God, that sounds terrible.

It sound as terrible. Well, that's actually from the road trip episode to Rochester. But I love the fact that he thinks his show is unpredictable. It couldn't be more predictable. Right. It's you and your three bodies at Gebhards talking over crowd noise to each other about random nonsense. This I thought was interesting.

This is Opie. So he's talking to Sharad Smahl, who's a black gentleman, and Opie mentions that he got real comfortable around black people at the Y, and decided to throw out the N word. Oh, what? Yeah. It was like when Opie used to play basketball at the Y.

When I got knocked out, he just said the N word. Did you? Not the watches? I told you that's the way to do that. because I thought I was one of the guys I played basketball he deserved it I played basketball and you fucks for years. I thought it could You can't say it open. Oh, he said nice shot. Eh Why would you do that? God that's the dumbest thing ever Such a dead yet. Oh my god my teeth are so clenched right now. I know.

So uncomfortable. I can't believe he didn't just deck him right now. Well, he did get punched out at the basketball game. Oh, did he? Yeah, which is perfect. Yeah. This is the amazing chemistry. Opie's always talking about the chemistry

and these guys, he's the best guys. You know, he got Vic Henley, the very funny Vic Henley. Yeah, sure That's small carl Louise and Opie and this is them all just yelling nonsense at the same time always good for a radio show Funny I keep on. Who could follow this conversation? I couldn't understand a word. So they're drinking. This is part two at Gaphart.

So this is like four hours of podcasting that they did. And in the final 30 minutes, they're very drunk at this point. And Shirat Small starts asking, Opie, why wouldn't you bring back OP and Anthony? Have a big charity show, you know, do it at the comedy set where he's throwing out all these scenarios, and this triggers the opster. He gets very upset about this. And he mentions this a few times. Somebody, someone that was very smart told me that, oh, never stop being old.

A, stop being a. That's the problem. I agree. But thank you. So he's saying the reason why the show I did is because Anthony changed. In what way? That's what he just said. Yeah, no, I know.

But how many times is Opie said he's trying to do something different? He's trying to evolve. He's turning his new show into this, my little pony, everyone's friends, that's a hug show. And he's saying that he's the one who hasn't changed. Anthony's still ranting like a lunatic on his show. I mean, he's a ridiculous person.

Well, sure. But I don't think he's changed that much. He's still doing the same thing. I don't think he's changed at all. But according to Opie, O stopped, or O never stopped being O O but A stopped being A. Okay. And then Opie goes on to explain that Anthony can't be successful without Opie, which is interesting because they haven't been together in five years. So this is weird. I don't

know where this comes from. Mike, get in there. I don't give a fuck he blew it he knows he can't do this shit without me brother he blew it he can't do that he can't do one shit oh my god I can't stand him he was just on the Joe Rogan show Which getting booked on this show is a good thing. Oh, it's yeah, it is the most listened to podcast Meanwhile, Opie got blown off by Joe Rogan and is creating these wacky YouTube videos Calling him out and he's going anything can't deal the shit without me. I think Anthony's fine. Anthony's He's fine. Anthony's podcast that he's got going. Yeah. I've made you listen to it before right? Studio he's got. Yes. He's got it going on. Yes. He's behind a paywall. People pay to listen to it. Jen and I were both there. It was nice.

It was a thrill and a half. It was a thrill and a half. This is him. Opie talking about Anthony blew it. This is the clip I just played but extended a little bit. Listen to the background. Vic Henley is just in another conversation somewhere else just yelling. This is how professional this fucking show is. He blew it! He missed his shoe. He knows he can't do this shit without me brother.

You know that. But yeah, make a note of that. Listen to me. He blew it. Listen to me. He blew it. He blew it. So at this part of the show, I know, you just see people get like, get the background. No one's even paying attention to OP because what OP has done at this part of the show,

is he's talking like a fanboy. This guy just walks up and he's a big fan of OP and OP and Anthony. So it's OP and Shira in this fanboy, just having this conversation about how Anthony blew it and all this stuff. And I got to say the irony on this, this is the fanboy talking about how this is the best thing OP has ever done, because that's what you have to kiss the ring when you're with OP. This is him explaining this is the best thing. And I don't know if the irony is the right word, but listen out terrible, this sounds.

While this guy's explaining this is the best thing he's ever done but this this podcast is The best I've ever heard Thanks Andrew the best material the best group of guys and it's a phenomenal fucking time Listen as he listen to this podcast how funny is that this thing that we're doing right now while we're drunk in a bar is the

best thing you've ever done. How is that even possible? Would OVB famous if this is what he was known for? This right here? This could be a podcast. Would he possibly have any type of name recognition if what he did was just get drunk in bars and make terrible sounding podcasts that talk about nothing. In the next episode, he's walking down the street, going to Gebhards again to meet up with Judy Gold. And this is what I call humble ope. It's sad. It's absolutely sad. It was some magical times. I mean, I believe that we were better than Howard Stern. I also believe we never reached our potential. So not only were they better than the best,

they didn't even get as good as they were gonna be. According to the opster. What is he talking about? He said, oh, it makes zero sense. It's all over the place. You got this guy saying, this is the best thing you've ever done. And then he says,

when I used to do this show back then, we were the best thing that ever happened. So which is it? And I love that, well, Jim Norton has taken some shots at OP and Anthony Kumia continues to take shots at OP OP never fires back. He takes the high road because he's not emotional about it all That's all you guys are not angry. He's not angry at all. He's totally moved out. I know he's going in. I moved on. He never moved on. He goes in, but you're better than ignoring it. I only when I felt like my back was against

wall and I had to. All right, so Opie has said this many times. He never goes after those guys. He might react from time to time, but he takes the high road. He lets those guys do all the shit talking obsessed about him, he doesn't talk about him, and then this happens. He obsessed about me in a book that should have been so fucking cool about his rise from being an air conditioning guy

all the way to the top where we're walking on J Leno together, and he obsesses about the shit I did to him when when he had no self awareness He has no idea why some of that shit happened. So wait for my fucking book. Oh, whoa wait for my fucking. I don't want you I love that. He's like I take the high road. I don't go to the end but I'm gonna run a book And I'm gonna tell him that he sucks wait till he sees when I write about him in my book Will you get that book? Of course. I'll read it out loud on this podcast. We can go through a chapter at a time.

It'd be fun. There could be a whole other spin off. Hope he will never write this book. Hope he never does anything he says he's gonna do. He got fired from Series X7 and spent 10 months doing nothing, but he was constantly tweeting about, oh, I got this deal, we got this, we're in negotiations with this thing, I got another meeting with these people, and then what does he do?

He puts on a show where he walks around with a Zoom recorder and talks to his friends. Yeah, that, um, going back to the show. He'll never write a book. The YouTube video that you played? Yeah. That is, that's disturbing. It's disturbing.

I wonder if Joe Rogan ever got back to you and explained himself for not getting back to his DM. I'm sure he did not. I'm sure he did not. So embarrassing. That was weird. I wish that they had talked about that when Anthony went on Joe Rogan's show.

I was hoping that they would talk about that video and they did not. No, maybe they didn't know about it yet. No, they did. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. This was after that happened. This was after Joe Morgan wanted Anthony show, which got OP offset.

This could be like wrestling. This could be like professional wrestling. I feel like with these storylines that we have going on, we're into the big wrestling media event. So what's your theory? What do you think is gonna happen? Yeah, you know what's gonna happen? Is Jim Norton's gonna show up with a folding chair?

This is OP calling out Jim Norton. And this is actually, again, OP's drunk at this point, but this is pretty fucking cutting. And I remember his parents were there and they're like, Jimmy, do you mind? I got Christmas presents for you and I haven't seen you. This is now January and probably a week or two into January. I remember his mom walking out to her car, which was a long walk, to bring Christmas presents back to the fucking green room, because that was the only time that Jimmy would give his parents

so that he could give Jimmy his fucking Christmas presents. So don't give me the shit that mommy said this. He doesn't give a fuck. Yikes. Yeah, it's getting really dark all of a sudden. At drunk Opie, it's really a mean drunk Opie. He's a mean drunk and it doesn't fit this what he's trying to do. He's trying to rebrand himself.

He's trying to be like, hey, this is our fun. Everyone loves each other podcast. Leave us a voicemail. Tell us how awesome we are. We, everything's great all the time. And then he gets on this show and starts mother fucking everyone. So then he has to do a show after that explaining how he did that. And this is him walking down the street with lots of traffic noise in the back.

I'm just pleasant. I mean, Jesus Christ, don't be. You could do this at your house before you're fucking to leave. But anyway, this is him explaining that things, well, I'll let him explain it, because I don't know how to pronounce this word. Near the end, um, Sharad surprised me with all that O and A stuff and he got intense, it got a bit heated,

got a bit heated. Heated? Yeah. So let me explain that he was talking to that guy Joey who always pops in about possibly editing all of that out and then explains that he did not I was thinking about actually editing it out of the podcast because I truly am trying to move on with my life in my career, but Decide you know what?

That's one thing about this podcast that people seem to really dig the realness of it and you know whether it's us sit down and interview with a friend or us just getting sloppy drunk at a bar. I think people are really appreciating the variety of the podcast. See fucking with us. Do you know why he thinks people enjoy the podcast? Why? Because they only play voice-mails for people who are gushing about this shitty fucking podcast. Here's an example of a color that can't possibly be real in life. As listeners, I hope you guys have a very merry Christmas and a happy new year and I can't

wait to see what 2019 brings. So it'll be podcast. You can't wait to see what 2019 brings. That sounds like it could be OP though. Hey dummy, let me tell you what's gonna happen. They're gonna go to a bar and Vic Henley is gonna yell a joke that's not funny. That's what you can't wait for.

That can't, nobody says that kind of shit. That's not a real call. Hey, I just wanna let you know you can't wait for. Nobody says that kind of shit. That's not a real call. Hey, it's one of the things that you know I can't wait to see what happens next year on your show. I can. I can wait. I can wait a real long time for that. I can wait the rest of my life. I might even forget that I was waiting for it.

So then he has Judy Gold. He's walking down to Gebhard to meet up with Judy Gold. Why? Who I think we've established as a comedian. Yes, but why would she meet him? So people are desperate for attention, I guess. I'm gonna look up, I need to look up who she is. You wouldn't know where if you saw her.

I think she used to be more famous than she is now. Oh god, she must have been because she wouldn't go on an Opie show. I could be a rock. So they're talking about this sushi place. And remember, back a few episodes ago, I talked about how Opie threw out a joke that I thought was kind of funny. And then ruined it immediately afterwards. I didn't realize it.

This is a go-to joke that he pulls out often. He does this joke again and ruins it again. This is quite impressive, even for the Obster. The sushi across the street is fucking amazing. It's one of the best ones in the city. Isn't it amazing? Yeah, yeah. I think it's like one of the best ones in the city.

What's the name of it? I don't even know for the people out there. I think it's yeah, I'll go that way. I don't know. What the fuck is there? Just making airplane noise and something will point you in the right direction It's the airplane noise joke again anything that sounds Asian as an airplane noise to OP Well, that's one piece of stick that he has.

There you go. There's the OP joke. It's almost like when you see Dan Carlin, you want to do the 7-Dirty Words. It's a GAD you're the airplane joke! airplane noise joke! Woo! Did I say Dan Carlin?

You did. Yeah, you did. That's not what I meant. George. I meant George Carlin. Yes, what you meant. Dan Carlin is the hardcore history guy. I don't know who that is

Sorry, listen It's been a long holiday weekend It really has been I am I'm Peter now we're Peter Ed. Here we go We're gonna get our second win We got more open to talk well because he's taking a road trip to Rochester Yeah, and car Ruiz they get in the car and they start driving there. And Carl Ruiz thinks that maybe they can swing by Buffalo,

and he throws out a fun little nickname for Buffalo. We can maybe do a little side trip to Buffalo. Buffalo? Buffalo? Yeah, man. Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha. Why do they always do that? I don't know.

Maybe when you go to Buffalo, you can swing by the... It's like a nooch. I think you guys could have a... A drinky poof. Oh, yuck. So duchy. It is really duchy. I don't get it.

So these guys are in the back of a car talking. And I don't like road trips personally. I don't like being in a car for six hours. It's even worse when I have to listen to people in a car for six hours in real fucking time. They never turn off the recorder. They don't edit anything. They even stop and have smoke breaks and you're listening to every second of them getting out of the car, getting back into the car.

There's a fucking pause button, man. Come on, help us out a little bit. This is Carl telling a story about a friend who tried to commit suicide and car, I just think so I'd have filled up that little jammy and he was out and I walked in and I got him out and I was who's he? But he was gone? No he was fine. Was he trying to like like groggy like right but out? Was he trying to kill himself? Yeah he's trying to kill himself. Wow what part of that was he not following? He was in his Mercedes Benz convertible in a three car garage with the car running and he was passed out. Did he think he was taking a nap? Did he think that this was the way rich people nap?

That's crazy. But why did OPI not understand what was going on there? There was even more build up before that where he's... Carmo Jesus made it very clear that his friend tried to come to suicide. And they had to pull him out of there. That is a really dark story to tell on a really fun podcast. Yeah, there's not a lot of fun going on. I gotta be honest with you. This is more of OP being humble.

We gotta keep the secret ingredients. Oh, this is great. He's explaining that he won't teach someone how to become as great a broadcaster as he is. Okay. He doesn't want to give away the secret sauce. We've got to keep the secret ingredients to yourself. I'll always keep you on the beat team. I'll never bring up. It's just a way that I'm raised.

It's the way I make money. I don't care. I'll teach you overall. I'll give you an idea. I'll give you an idea, but I'm not going to give you the real shit. That makes you the 1% now. You're a profession. If you want me to be your mentor.

You might have the same last name as me. There you go. So this is OP talking about how he is in top 1% of broadcasters. And he's not going to tell anyone else how to do that. And then minutes later, he explains exactly what his formula is. So what I heard was this grogley shitty voice, no offense, but he knows. Coming from a room and I'm like, what is that? I've never heard radio like this before, what the fuck? And then you get past that he doesn't have a radio voice and what he was saying was was

way better than anybody else was doing and I'm like, I'm hooked. I'm changing my whole fucking style So opi's formula is copying we's No shit No shit brother man brother man. I could tell I could tell you've been copying we's for 25 years I'm not gonna tell someone the secret ingredient So I heard we's on the radio and decided I would just do that. That's the secret ingredient. It's the same show.

He explains both of these things. Can I ask you why do you think Carl Wee's still does the show? It's a good question. I would've clicked it. He'd be done with it by now. Does he has his own thing going on? He does. He's on the Food Network. He doesn't have his own show, but he's on a show. I don't know what. I don't know what he think he's gonna gain from doing his podcast. I don't know

Again, I'm sure they're paying him With what though they don't have sponsors. Oh, they do they haven't recently actually now I think about it, but they had quip. Oh, he was explaining how is the greatest fucking thing you'd ever put in your mouth Any of the buyers fucking Christmas gift for people. Besides Wiz is dick. Oh! Oh! I'm like, oh!

Oh! Oh! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! The general's apartment, I gotta get a drop.

It's like a gen-zinger. Please don't. Oh, okay. Um, so this is where they're going to visit weas. They're all excited about this. By the way, I got a text because they were tweeting about how they were coming to Rochester. They went to Jeremiah's last Sunday night and someone messaged me and said, hey, by the way, Opie's going to Jeremiah's. It's a walking distance from my house. I shouldn't, I didn't believe it to be true. I could have gone down there

and hung out with the boys and done a podcast. Yeah, you talk about getting decked. This is, yeah, I wanted to say the end word to get punched out of that. You said to walk in the door, you got punched out. This is Opie teasing his amazing brother Wii story. This is the best brother we story. So, yeah, we're on our way to Rochester. I want to tell my brother we story. This is the best brother we start. So yeah, we're on our way to Rochester. I want to tell my brother we start. My best brother we story.

Let's do it. So you're fast forward a whole bunch of years, like I said earlier in the podcast, he's my mentor, learned a lot. What year is this? 1950 what? Oh, Jesus. Long time ago.

He didn't get Carl's joke there. Carl goes 1950. Get it? That's too long ago. You're not allowed. You're not even that old. goes, 1950, get it? That's too long ago. You're not allowed. You're not even that old. Like, yeah, positive. So he tramples over that.

This fucking story, I don't know if it ever starts. This is 15 minutes later. We finally get to the payoff of this amazing story. And like any long boring story, it starts with Opie saying long story short. Long story short, my nose swells up to three or four times the size of media. So they got some some car accident. Is this amazing story? Four times the size of media.

All our groceries because we went to Wakemans it was a pickup type of truck. All over Route 9, Route 9 I'm getting my roads mixed up. Monroe Avenue. Sorry And also and we as looks at me and I'm shaking like holy fuck. I gotta go to the hospital I you know I got to fix this fucking nose. He looks at me Vietnam vet did a bunch of tours and Vietnam looks at me He goes doesn't look that bad bra. Let's let's let's do the boat trip anyway. I'm like All right So I mean what what's interesting for this was this amazing story he had to tell he got a car accident His nose was injured and he went on the boating trip anyway

The end amazing At one point he's talking about wee's and OP feels very strongly about this brother weas guy who's a radio very famous in Rochester. Yes. Radio Dishyock he's been around forever. He's a Rochester treasure. And OP slips up and says something that is so creepy and weird. It was insane I didn't know what to do because my whole life I truly just never had money. So how it relates to Rochester, brother we he's talking about he finally got the seven-figure deal on radio and he wanted to go back to Rochester and and hang out with Wee's and celebrate this.

This has always been my boy and I came up to go on a boat trip with brother Wee's and his wife and my girlfriend at the time and to celebrate a little bit right I wanted to show Papa he's He wanted to show Papa that he made a big in radio Your face is priceless right now. I don't like it. Could you believe that? He's like I got this big deal. I'm the first thing I wanted to do is I wanted to go show Papa. I did it Papa. I'm a big radio star Yeah, he's talking about a guy he worked with Papa, I did a papa, I'm a big radio star. Yeah. He's talking about a guy he worked with. He's calling him Papa.

My shoulders are up to my ears right now. I don't know you could hear how high your shoulders are right now. So gross. Yeah. Crazy. He sat himself immediately. Papa, you know, weasers mentor. That's sad. I oscillate with Opie.

I don't like this segment of your show sometimes. Yeah. Because it's not one of those times. Well, he has, I can tell. I go from loathing him, to feeling so sorry for him. Yeah. I just feel bad for him sometimes.

Don't feel bad for him because he could have been a male model. Let's not forget that Opie is... What a hunk of room. Yeah. Yummy, yum. Let's not forget that. Alright, well we'll wrap this up. I do want to talk about the fact that nobody seems to know what the fucking algorithm is.

I truly think that the Food Network is crazy to not give you your own show. Well, I'm damn, good, man. I'm older. I have, uh, you don't fit the algorithm. I don't fit the algorithm. I hate like Judy Gold was saying on the last podcast. So the reason why he doesn't have his own show out of cable station is because he doesn't fit the algorithm. That's not what an algorithm is.

That's not even close to what an algorithm is. Why don't you understand what an algorithm is? It controls so much of your life at this point and no one understands what it is. This is where Opie is talking about how when Carl gets drunk, he gets really wordy with his stories. And he explains that he has to edit Carl's stories out of the podcast because they're too

wordy. When you get wordy on your stories, are you drunk? Yeah, no, no, I get wordy with super, but that made Joey we fix you up nice. That's not true. They don't edit this show at all. There's nothing out of it out. He says when they get drunk, now when they get drunk, they're at a bar, either that dive bar near Carl's house or Geb Hard's on the upper west side, whichever. There's always background noise. I could tell if they edited or not, because it skips from the middle of the verse to the chorus.

You could tell if it was edited. They don't edit anything. They don't edit anything. Why does he keep insisting that he's editing this show? Feats me. I think he insists a little too much if he asks me. He does protest too much. All right. That's all I have on OP.

He's making the truck to Rochester. I have a friend who I work with who was out at a restaurant on Monday night and saw Opie there with weas and Carl podcasting in the corner. Who was it Grinnells? No, it was Max's on East. Okay. Oh, that's a nice, I'm surprised they'd even let them do that in there. That's a nice restaurant. Well, it's fucking wheeze. Well, he is the mayor. That's what he does. Yeah, so apparently, and this might already be out by now, but apparently there's a podcast with OP and wheeze, so that'll be a fun one, huh?

I will not be attending. Yeah, I don't blame you, oh shit. Do we've talked about a lot today? We did. Right? We talked about Sam Roberts. We did. We talked about Opie. We talked about wrestling a lot.

That's a lot. Yeah. Sure. So I think now is the time for everyone's favorite segment. The teaser. The teaser. We actually got the teaser. The teaser.

The teaser. The teaser. The teaser. The teaser. The teaser. This is the part of the show where we play a clip, just a little clip. From the podcast that we'll be reviewing next week.

It's just a little clip, just a teaser. Just the tip. Just the tip of the clip. To get everyone excited about it, we wanna tease our audience with this clip. And here is Sad Clip. Okay. Sparkle in folks. want to know how long it took for her to get her shit together so we could hit

reports today? Quite some time. Okay, it only took like 10 minutes. It's really entertaining. You called early. That's true, I did. Okay, so I had a couple of topics that I wanted to start off with. I don't know about you guys, but

do you know it's Christmas time? Yeah, I think everybody does. Yeah. This is a podcast called This Could Get Awkward. I think you already did. This is a suggestion from John John who DMed us on Twitter. John John thinks this will make for good fodder for us. I've listened to about 38 seconds at the show and I agree. Yeah. I think this is going to be a fun one. There's going to be a lot of clips. We'll be listening to episode number 38.

So, Kevin, if you're listening, grab episode number 38. Oh, Kevin! This could get awkward. We'll be reviewing that next weekend on, who are these podcasts? Jen, anything you wanna promote? You have any plugs? Yeah, no, I don't do anything.
