Hello, rubber dicks and cousin ruse, welcome to another episode of Who Are These Podcasts.
The only show that tells Governor Cuomo to get bet I'm your host, Carl, with me this week.
Host of the podcast, Tell Him Steve Dave.
Also, would you kindly with Eric Negan on Compound Media.
It's our friend Brian Johnson. Brian, thanks for joining us today, buddy.
Hey, boys, thanks for having me.
Very excited to have you on as a guest.

We also encourage our listeners to give us a five-star review
and iTunes event,
and shit all over us in the comments section.
Today we'll be reviewing a podcast called Social Distance Assistance.
We have both listened to the show separately, we have not discussed it with each other beforehand.
Let's get into it.
This is a show that's hosted by Kelly Jones and her daughter, June.
So we're off to a bad start.
The inclusion of an eight year old is the very first warning.
Yes. NPR is one of my least favorite content producing
organizations. I fucking hate NPR shows. They're overproduced, they're corny, they're not entertaining in any way. This is a show
that helps you learn how to social distance,
as if that's a thing that we need to learn how to do.
You didn't think that they were super excited by it.
They seem to be really jazzed about adapting to this new world order, like, excited.
Yes. Oh, they're pumped about it.
Let's just play a quick example of this.
They talk to different quote unquote experts.
And these experts that they get on
talk about things they're doing to help in this new norm.
One of them is a person who's developed a chat line
for texting.
And this is called validation station. Here's the setup to this. And
bright, I don't know which episode you listen to, I listen to like the last three or so,
the most recent three. Well, I had vowed because there were so few and they were so short.
Yeah. I would listen to all of them. Oh, shit. I immediately buckled. I listened to part of the first
episode, the entire second and the entire last. Okay, good. I got the last one on here as
well. But this is one from April 28th. And here's the setup to this. That tweet was from
Jacob Edward, BBC ones first publicly non-binary radio producer. They got to talking and within six hours
Kestrel made a prototype.
Validation Station, a tech service
that sends a daily, customized, affirming message
to LGBTQ plus people, was born.
So what this is, because trans people have to go
and live with their family who might not be
as accepting of them as their friends are, they get a daily affirmation on their phone telling them
how important they are as a person.
I'm not making this up.
This is a real thing that they're promoting on social distance assistance.
And your parents love.
You're probably wondering, Brian, what would be an example of a message that they would send
to somebody who's trans and dealing with this?
Well, I have that for you.
Let's check this out.
So some of them are quite fun.
Some of them are a bit more serious.
One here that got sent to me today was when you smile, Kestrel, the whole world smiles
with you. You are so brilliant, the whole world smiles with you.
You are so brilliant, so wonderful and so loved.
Duh!
Ha ha ha!
If you need that to get through life, it's over!
It's over, buddy.
It's not working for you.
Is this just randomly sent?
Like, you don't know what you're gonna get.
It's just a random text with someone
who doesn't even know you.
Correct, but you do have to tell them
what your pronoun preference is,
so that it's customized to you.
First, when they said binary,
I thought they were talking about software like the code,
because I don't understand that.
That's what I thought it was at first,
and then I'm like, oh, okay, now I get it.
Yeah.
So you just heard an example of a text message
you would get if you sign up for this amazing service
Which they have like 8,000 people signed up for this thing this validation station and then right after that they go on to say this
Validation station is open for anyone, but the messages are designed for trans people
Did that message sound like it was designed for a trans person? Like your smile lights up the world?
Great.
I think I could receive that message as well.
I think that's for everyone.
It's also as a trans person, aren't you like,
largely I'm shunned if you want to know the truth.
So maybe something a little bit more along the lines of that.
Yeah, you're not really understanding my plight
in all of this, are you?
This is another person that they talk to.
This person is working for a crisis counseling hotline,
but again, it's text messaging because God forbid,
you don't wanna talk to somebody on a phone,
you have to text about this crisis you're going through.
So, imagine this, you're having a tough go at it.
You just watched Cuomo's latest fucking press briefing.
You want to murder everyone.
And you decide before you go through and kill your wife that you're going to send a text
message to the system.
This is what happens.
When someone texts 741741, the first message they get from us is an automated message.
So how do we turn our terms of the book and ask what's your crisis?
We have an algorithm that ranks the order in which you will be texting with the crisis
counselor.
So for example, if you say, I'm on a bridge, I can't do it anymore, you're going to be
considered a high risk texture, and we're going to work to make sure that you're texting with a
project down for in under one minute.
Brad, they have an algorithm that's important your text says.
They're pulling the old like sex line move. It's like, hey, I'm so-and-so.
Really, it's not so-and-so. It's a big fat housewife in the Midwest.
Yes.
So they-
So it's probably not even counselors.
Oh, I actually have more information on that.
You bring up a very good point
and you are 100% accurate with that.
But I think it's funny that the pretending
that there's this technology they're using,
this algorithm that determines how important your thing is,
do you think maybe it's just looking for specific terms like bridge or
contwi for shitty kids?
I can see these terms like, oh, this person's ready to have a fucking meltdown.
I think we should probably give them a call right now.
Plus, you should never, if you are going to kill someone including yourself, never put it
in writing and send it to someone.
It's the worst way. You'll always get caught when you do that.
Not only, as I mentioned earlier, I'm a boomer and sometimes I won't answer a text for days.
I'm that guy.
Right.
So if somebody's going to get in my life, I feel like this more urgent than a one day text conversation that you would have with some
counselor. So you're probably wondering, as I was, what kind of advice would they give
you? So the host asks, what if we asked you this question, how would you respond? Let's
find out.
We're very tired. One thing that we would text about is lack of sleep and waking up in
the middle of the night. Definitely. What if we texted about that? Do you know what
you would tell us? I think I would say like, wow, that really sucks to not be
able to sleep. What do you think is keeping you from sleeping? So this is an
actual counselor at this crisis counselor text messaging service. If you taxed her that you're having a hard time sleeping,
she responds, why?
That sucks.
That sucks.
That sucks.
That sucks.
Really?
Because I got into 9.5 hours last night.
It sucks for you.
You woke me up with this.
That's what I'm asleep all day.
What the fuck, how does service is that? the fuck on the services that?
What kind of answer is that?
I mean, granted, let's just go under the banner of advice.
No.
Most certainly, does not.
So you got to wonder, how do you become qualified in order to be one of these texting
crisis counselors? I have the answer for that.
Crisis text file requires 30 hours of training. Over two or three weeks,
Kara has a few hours left until she's official.
So this person they have on Kara is not even through the training yet.
It's 30 hours of training.
That's not a lot of time to get certified for something.
It's not impressive, 30 hours.
This woman is a guest on a podcast.
She hasn't even gone through the training yet.
If she can't find the time to do it now,
I assume it's online.
When will she be fine this time?
Yeah, I got thinking it next month or two, I'll probably finally get my certification completed.
But I'll get my shit together.
How is there possible that she's doing podcast appearances before she's even certified?
She's the spokesperson for this thing that she's not even qualified to run?
Who the fuck is her agent? This person's amazing.
I know you're not certified yet.
Let's start getting you gigs though.
I got two things lined up.
We got this NPR show.
It'd be, if I went on Anthony Kumya's show,
saying I'm thinking about starting a podcast Anthony,
I think you're gonna really love it.
I haven't done it yet, but I'm gonna go find LP.
It's gonna be great.
So how this works.
Well, maybe that's why the advice sucked.
Yes, I think more allergy would have been gold.
Don't answer a question with a question.
Would be my advice.
All right, then there's this other service they talk about.
And this is this quarantine chat.
So this is where you hook up with other people in quarantine
randomly and just have a conversation. So this is actually you hook up with other people in quarantine randomly and just have a conversation.
So this is actually on the phone. Phone conversation. Now, this is the producer of this show,
Molly, tried it out and this is her talking about her experience with quarantine chat.
Our producer, Molly, really likes talking to red of people.
She was so excited to try quarantine chat.
It's true.
Hey Molly.
So I've really been digging quarantine chat.
Late Friday night, I got matched with a woman
in the Northeast.
And we talked for about a half hour
and it was really nice.
She was struggling though.
She was living alone without a car. She was feeling pretty isolated.
Oh wow. So what was the nice part? What's really nice about that? I was talking to someone who's really
struggling with this shitty post-apocalyptic existence that we all live in. Great! Sounds like fun.
It's like anyway. Save me up for that, shit. Yeah, this woman, you know, her husband left her kids or assholes and we chatted for about a half an hour
Nate it's like chat roulette for worry war. Yeah, right
All right, so can I see your feet now or how does this work?
How could you get on and just like like roulette? It's like suddenly it comes on and there's a dick in there
Let's not give anybody ideas right now for Ion
People listen to the show already a owner guy
Yeah, I'm just gonna go have that thing. Are you a boner guy?
Why now?
this show is now weekly,
but they used to put it out twice a week.
So why do they become weekly, you wonder?
Speaking of mental health support,
our show is moving to a once a week release.
We'll be telling you stories and speaking to experts
on only Tuesdays now.
This is to give us more time to bring you amazing helpers, but also
to take care of ourselves. So we can rest, play, and design elaborate sets for musical Isn't that adorable? It's just so off the cuff and not rehearsed or scripted at all.
Just so natural.
It's really about MPR.
Everything's just so natural.
Yeah, my question for you was, do you think she's actually in the room a lot of the
times during this podcast?
Because they bring up some subjects that I'm like, there's just no way.
Yeah, none of this seems like she's really involved in the conversation, like she's told
to say things
because she says words that there's no way
an eight year old uses.
She's, they're trying to make her out
to be this really smart, intelligent person,
and she's an eight year old.
Just not buying it.
There's nothing more annoying
than a precocious child's.
Right.
And this idea that they had a switch to one 25 minute episode
per week so that they can get enough rust.
I work a full time job.
I put out a two hour log podcast once a week
and I've never once complained about it.
It's not that difficult.
Especially this typo podcast, they can just say random shit and someone's gonna put it all together in post.
You should listen to the fucking credits.
And this is so NPR-ask.
What's out of people who takes to put out this shit-tacular podcast?
Social distance assistance is produced and engineered by
Junheir Kesselrabuts and Jones, Kelly Jones, and Molly Born.
It was created and edited by Nate Toby.
Gavin Wright makes it all happen.
Digital Assistance from Angela Messino
and the VPM news team.
Steve Humble is VPM's Chief Content Officer.
Music for this week's episode was by Blue Dot Sessions.
So it takes 20 people to make this fucking podcast.
It's a 20 minute podcast with four minutes of credits at the end.
Yes!
And remember, NPR, does get funded from our tax dollars.
Let's not forget this, this is my point.
When you have free money coming in, you find jobs for people.
Well, we're gonna need at least 20 people to put together this shit-tack of their podcast over here.
Yeah, I mean, that just makes sense. Of course, we're gonna need that least 20 people to put together this shit-tank of their podcast over here. Yeah, I mean that just makes sense
Of course, we're gonna leave that many people. You really don't
Maybe June can fucking put a little more effort into this thing and help out with the ad-a-day-good post
Now
My question to is who is the audience for this podcast like who's who listens to this is it for kids?
Or is it for older people because Because some of the advice is so
trite and simplistic that I'm like, there's no way this could be for an adult. Thank you for saying
that. It leads me into the latest episode where they have this expert on and they ask what the
advice would be for living and staying healthy in quarantine. And Brian, that was the note that I wrote down.
Who the fuck is this advice for?
Jumping jacks, run up and down the hallway, push ups.
Whatever you can do for a few minutes,
it's gonna change your mindset.
You know, exercise is number one.
Making sure that you're eating well
and really good nutrition.
Sleep is a big one.
Exercise, eat right and get sleep is the fucking advice on this podcast.
One of the things you learned in a fifth grade health class.
Right.
Is there anyone who's saying the opposite of this?
Is YouTube taking out videos or people like stop sleeping.
Sleep is bad for you.
My favorite part of this, I don't know if you have it as a clip, but my favorite part of
this particular episode was the question, the little kid asked the therapist, he goes,
what gives you hope?
And I was like, how existential?
And like, how do you answer that?
And of course, she answers it really shittily.
You know, how do you fucking answer that. And of course she answers it really shittily. Oh yeah, how do you fucking answer that? So let's talk about this therapist because she
has a background in helping people through traumatic situations.
That's Dr. Deb Delvecchio Scully. She's a counselor and trauma specialist who worked with
families after the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Bullshit!
That was shows that's not a great one.
So we have this person, who had a deal with families of victims from the Sandy Hook massacre.
And now we're talking about, I could only go to the grocery store and stay home in my
house.
Little bit different in my opinion.
I could be a rag.
I'm starting to wonder if that's why I saw all the parents of the kids who got killed
at Sandy Hook doing jump and jacks and running up and down hallways.
Just do pushups, you'll forget about Billy in no time.
I'm not sure if that's the right answer.
Are you gonna get up asleep?
That's the problem.
You gotta eat right and sleep.
When you say the family's, you mean the crisis actors from, anyway.
This is more advice she's talking about, and this is where we talk about how June, this
isn't a real person. June is a fake person for this show. And the therapist is talking
about hugging yourself, like literally putting your arms over your chest and holding yourself
as a means of therapy through this time. This clip is, is bonkers.
The idea is to gently put you in touch with your body, reminding you that you're here, now
calming you down so that you can feel your feelings
without letting your feelings overwhelm you.
It definitely shouldn't replace sessions
with a therapist.
But a butterfly hug is a pretty nice way
to spend three or four minutes resetting your brain.
An eight year old girl, June, just said resetting your brain. An eight year old girl, June just said resetting your brain.
A butterfly hug helps you reset your, who talks like that?
Except for pretentious assholes.
Not an eight year old.
When you just did that, it looked like you were in a coffin.
That's what it looks like by the way, Andy's here.
I should mention I did introduce him at the beginning of the show.
Andy's here to do a segment on set our in John later.
You know, it's the same as you remember in happy days when Richie wanted to trick
Fonsi into thinking he was making out with a girl and he hugged himself so hard that
like to arm her wrapped around himself.
You can only see his back and then like we would do that as kids too.
Yeah, that's what they're suggesting.
You pretend you're making out with yourself. I reset my brain by just jerking off. I do it the old fashioned way, but you can do that as kids too. Yeah. That's what they're suggesting. You tend to make an out with yourself.
I reset my brain by just jerking off.
I do it the old fashioned way,
but you could do that too, I guess.
So more therapy coming from this trauma specialist,
this is amazing advice.
There's lots of times we just need to get it out of our bodies.
One of my favorite things to do,
especially with kids is to shake it out.
And that's where we shake our hands and then dance around.
And we just move around, right?
So there's fun things that you can do and to help you really be a good friend.
All right, not everyone should be a guest on a podcast.
Not everyone's qualified to give advice to people
on a podcast.
I don't know who's booking for the show,
but they're failing miserably at it.
They're getting the worst guests I've ever heard before.
A moment like that where you're like,
okay, that's the kind of thing you see teachers tell
like preschool kids and kindergarteners,
like shake your hands, no shake your legs,
you know, that kind of thing. Yeah. Oh, you're like, okay,
the podcast is for kids. Then when the mom starts talking about like depth
about like the sheer number of deaths and people who are committing suicide,
I'm like, well, wait, no, it's not for kids. Like, what the fuck? What's going on here?
I don't think there was ever a thought or a discussion around who the audience was for
this show.
I think they just wanted to act like they were doing something.
Look at what we're doing.
We're doing good right now because we're talking about social distancing.
You're not doing anything for anyone.
This is nonsense.
This is a nonsense show.
And I agree that it is for adults, but a certain type of adult, the type that needs you to
tell them that they might hear something that they don't like coming up. Now
remember what I've been playing, this is what the show is, what you've been
hearing. Before you get to hear this though, you hear June say this. And we'll dig
into some helpful coping strategies too. Just a quick trigger warning. In today's
episode, we're talking about really difficult things. If you've experienced
trauma before, this episode could be hard to listen to. There's a fucking trigger warning for the show.
The most milk-to-show you've ever heard were the therapist saying to shake it out.
Trigger warning! Careful! The one thing I agreed with that I do have the ice cell as this.
This episode could be hard to listen to.
Agreed.
That one might have to stay on the board for a while.
Was it an interesting too that they opened the episode
by doing an unboxing for her headphones?
So being that is not a visual podcast,
I really enjoyed it.
Yeah, I know.
Actually, I think I have that.
While they're doing the unboxing, June starts singing a song that she likes to do.
Go ahead.
Da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da,
So you're literally hearing an eight-year-old, hum-a-fuck-a- number, which is annoying and obnoxious,
along with a woman opening up an Amazon package.
And this is part of a 25 minute long weekly podcast.
Go ahead and cut that part out, people.
You got 18 editors, can one of them figure out
that that's not entertaining content?
There's a thing where there's a lot of sing songyness
to this.
This is, at the, I willness to this. This is at the...
I will only play this first.
They're very excited about a donation.
They came in.
Next.
We wanted to give a huge shout out to Suzanne Franky, who honored us with a big donation to
the podcast.
It's really amazing.
It's going to help us with all kinds of things.
Technology to record better sound at a safe distance.
Okay, so the Suzanne person sent them some type of donation. Why I do not know. They work for an organization.
I don't know why they need a donation, but whatever. But the donation is going to help them with technology to record at a safe distance.
Brian, where are you right now, New Jersey?
I'm in Jersey, yep.
Yeah, I'd say we're at a pretty safe distance right now.
I'm gonna fucking technology, since they did.
What are they talking about?
I had no idea what she meant when she said that.
It was just like a buzz word.
She just wanted me to say something.
Right, we need to be at a safe distance
when we're recording.
Well, yeah, of course. You and your daughter who lived together need to be in a safe distance or the person who came up with
the hotline for trans people. Like what what are we what are we talking about? So at the end of the show,
because they got that donation from Suzanne, they decided to write a song for Suzanne and this is garbage
And now this is a song for Suzanne
And I hope that you have given to you my son. Oh my god.
Thank you, Susan.
Thank you, Susan.
Oh.
This goes out of that.
It's like, it's one, three, five, three.
It's just up and down the triad, which is so obnoxious.
It's not well written.
There's no bridge.
I don't know if the chorus is compelling. It's just not you're right it's like if you want to fucking right
to suck this is how you do it
that's a little free advice cover from your pal carol
your song sucks also expose themselves
Yeah song because everything else she says she's so eloquent then when she sings like this thing That's the real kid that's simple like back and toes and like
You'll lame bullshit song, you know, that's the kid for real. Yeah, and she sucks at piano. She's really bad at playing the piano.
Which is no gift.
Which is fine, I mean, today at your old.
But I don't need an eight year old,
telling me about a commercial read that's coming up
and using industry terms like this.
Time for a...
Mirro.
If you're searching for another podcast.
Time for a mid-roll?
Andrew, you feel like you're able to tell me what that is?
No, I'm not eight.
I'm in advertising, so I know what a mid-roll is, but I don't think most podcast listeners
know what a mid-roll is.
I was listening to it with my girlfriend and she sells advertising for podcasts.
I heard that. We both just looked at each other like
come on. Who would hate your own talking about mid rolls? Yeah my mom said we're gonna try to sell
some pre rolls but right now just all we have is mid rolls so we're just gonna run those. What?
And I want to say that the sponsors they have on the episodes I listen to anyway,
we're not actually
sponsors, but we're other podcasts.
So you heard her say, if you're looking for a podcast, by the way, no one's looking for
a fucking podcast.
Everyone has too many fucking podcasts, so let's do.
No one's out there going, where's the, where's a good podcast?
Like we got it, we're good.
But she gives us some advice on a podcast that you could find.
First feed music.
It's called neighbors.
I got to set this up a little Music. It's called Neighbors. I gotta set this up a little bit.
It's called Neighbors.
And like this show, it's conversations from people who are uninteresting, who have nothing
to say.
And she goes through the list of people that you'll hear on this podcast Neighbors.
For Street Musicians, Barbers, Improv Comedians, becoming gunshot victims.
One of those things is not like the others, right?
She goes, we're gonna have all sorts of cats
of people, barbers, comedians, gunshot victims.
Like the other things were professions.
It would be a professional gunshot victim.
The fuck is that?
Clowns, teachers, convicted rapists.
Ha ha ha ha ha.
We tied to everyone.
What the fuck?
Oh, so getting back to this therapist, they ask her about helping people who are contemplating
suicide.
Let's hear that clip.
You know, they're the big stories about the numbers of people who are dying from COVID-19,
but we're starting to hear about people who are dying by suicide in response to this
shared drama. How would you help someone who's expressing those thoughts or feelings? Try to move
forward. I would say, O would say OP had a good run.
We'll always remember you for the O&A, shall.
But that's Brian to your point.
That's where I get really fucking heavy again.
They're talking about little kids shit and they're singing that.
And then they go, people are committing suicide at the alarming rates.
How would you deal with that?
Like, what the fuck?
What just happened?
Thought we were having fun at a kids show.
It's a hard left turn.
Yeah.
Dude's like, what suicide?
Yeah.
I was watching faces of death.
This woman that comes on, and I hate this whole idea and I'm gonna
offend a bunch of people who listen to the show right now, trigger warning. If you
still have a job, let's say you work at Panera Brad or Wendy's. You're not a hero,
okay? Just because you have to go to work and the people who know how to use
computers don't, doesn't mean you're,, Andy. Doesn't mean you're a hero.
You're the fucking frontline workers.
So this therapist, of course, considers herself a hero.
I need the same things that you need.
And understanding that we were all doing the best
that we can, this is what I've chosen.
Everybody might feel we've chosen to help others.
We understand that sometimes there's sacrifices to that.
God, did you want to slow a plows break? Thank you for your service. We're also appreciative.
They talk about mental health and I don't understand why they have to change what they're
calling it.
For some reason, they're dumbing this down because they think that everyone's a fucking idiot.
And they need things dumb down. I mean, if you're listening to the show, you are a fucking idiot and you probably do need things dumb down.
Let me back that one up. Actually, they're doing this correctly.
Our mental and emotional health is the same.
And so one way to think about it is brain health versus mental health that has such a stigma. And we want our brains to be working the best possible way that we can.
Don't think of it as mental health. It's brain health. Like what's the difference? I'm confused.
What's the difference? Why are we calling it brain health instead of mental health? Who is this helping?
What's the difference? Why are we calling it brain health? Instead of mental health, who is this helping?
You find that like people like the more names they have,
the fucking dumber they are.
This woman has four names with hyphens all over the place.
It's like, oh, you're so important. I get it. You're very important.
Come on. Come on.
Like, either take your husband's name or don't.
And it's like, I couldn't decide. I just did everything.
Yeah. Meet you everything. Ah.
Me, J. Halfway.
Right.
There was an episode where they talked to a monk
and it was about how to continue to practice religion.
Who cares?
Who cares what it was about?
June misses the episode and her mom,
what's her name, Kelly. Kelly explains why she missed it.
So for today's interview, I was in my room playing with like, I wasn't talking to a friend
on face, that's okay. You really needed a break and it's really important that you connect with
your friends right now as much as you can. That's what today's episode is all about actually.
Does that sound remotely real to you, Brian?
I mean, she needs a break from what? At no point do they say why they have to go down to
one episode, what she needs to break from. It's like how many hours are in a week? Ha ha ha ha. It's a 20 minute conversation with somebody on Zoom,
and then they handed off to a team of people
who turned into a podcast,
and it's like, I had to play with Legos.
I just couldn't, I couldn't take it this week.
I just had to play my good Legos instead.
What, what?
I don't know.
It does seem like most of her stuff is pre-recorded
because she doesn't really interact with her
mom on it.
She asks a question and then somebody just filibusters with the answer.
Yeah, that's true.
There's no real conversations being had.
Even the pacing of the show, it's so overproduced, here's an example, right at the very beginning
of the show, it does that thing that all NPR shows do, where it's very slowly
paced out with the dramatic music coming in. Here's an example. It's called a shared trauma.
That's what we're going to talk about on today's episode. We interviewed a trauma therapist
about the impact COVID-19 is having on everybody's mental health.
I don't understand how that music helps anything. It's really generic, royalty-free,
nonsense that they just put in the background. If you're gonna put music on your
podcast, do this.
Just as an example of what you've played on your podcast, it's sort of that nonsense that
FBR does.
The more I listen to this lady, the more I felt she was kind of like projecting whatever
bullshit she has going on onto everyone else.
She's like, everyone is trauma.
Everyone is trauma.
Everyone's triggered.
Like it's like, no, like not everyone.
Like I've had stuff happen to me and it's like, I didn't walk away traumatized, you know, it's like, well, I was fucked up, but the lasting
stuff, so it's like, we'd calm down. Thank you. Because this show needs the voice of reason
injecting it so badly. For one person to just say, guys, can we get over it? It's not that big a deal.
Your kid wasn't shot in his elementary school. This is not that big of a fucking deal. Can we please just
move on from this? You would think the whole fucking Sandy Hook thing would get everyone
to like level set a little bit and go, yeah, maybe I need to hug myself in order to
reset my brain. I can just fucking deal with this.
All right, so they're talking to this, this month, and this might be on
me. I don't know what this means. And I'm not a meditation guy, Brian, do you meditate?
I do not have ADD. It's not possible. Yeah, I'm not good at it either. So here is this
monk talking about how they're meditating in today's quarantine times.
We were on the Zoom meditation call last week and they were on a Zoom meditation call.
How is that possible?
Video conferencing and meditation.
Does that sound right to you?
I don't know.
I thought you had to have your eyes closed the whole time.
Yeah.
I thought you were supposed to ignore everything that's around you and find inner peace.
I thought that was the whole point of meditation.
I tried it.
I went to one of those float centers, you know, the tank with the saltwater.
Deprivation.
Yeah, sensory deprivation.
And I tried that a couple of times.
I wanted to go in and find my inner peace. What I didn't have in there was a zoom meeting.
I did not pull out my phone. I didn't even love it. Crank up my mom. Hey, what do you want to do? I'm laying in a full tank right now.
Didn't OP do that. That'll be trying to podcast or one another. I forgot about that.
Fucking idiot.
I wouldn't go back her phone.
That's a sense of humor in there.
Yeah, it floated away.
Just this is just an example.
She's talking to the monk, June's not there.
And this is just an example of just a stupid question.
There's so many stupid questions on this show.
But here's a good example.
The imagination makes me think of my daughter who is currently busy.
And her question for you guys was, is there something different about what kids
should be doing and what adults should be doing when it comes to being with people?
Do you even understand that question?
I mean, if you're talking about being with someone
in that sense, then I would say, yes,
the children should scream and run.
Yes, right.
Other than that, yeah, like, I don't know.
I would be like, wait, can you clarify
what the hell do you mean?
I think I tried to answer the question.
I didn't pull that clip,
but that would be the correct response to that.
Like, what are you getting at?
What do you think would be different?
I'm confused.
The guy goes, something to do.
They're so afraid that they're so afraid they're going to look dumb that they'll just
answer anything because like, oh, I'll have an answer for this and I'll try to sound
eloquent and it usually doesn't work out.
Well, that's the beauty of this show is that they bring on experts who are not experts.
Literally, this person couldn't even do 30 hours to learn how to do the thing that she's talking about.
These people are the opposite of experts, and they're like, how are you dealing with this?
Your expert opinion, they're like, oh, I don't know.
Great, great show.
Great content.
I have one more clip to play from this podcast and what we do on Whtp is everyone's favorite
part of the show.
We do this teaser.
We play a little clip from the podcast that we'll be reviewing on next week's episode.
To give people excited, we want them to subscribe, we want them to be excited about the new
episode.
They try to do the same thing and this is an epic fail.
Thanks for listening to Social distance assistance.
We'll be back next week with an episode on one of our most favorite things in the whole
world.
Fade!
We'll talk about who's helping to grow, pack, deliver, and make food and the ethics of it all.
Boring.
Who would want to listen to that?
The ethics of producing.
Well some of my most, uh...
Some of my most cherished memories are having conversation with my parents about the ethics of the food we're eating.
I can't wait to find out about the ethics of growing food.
It's gonna be an amazing episode.
Fucking hard pass. Alright. I can't wait to find out about the ethics of growing food. This is gonna be an amazing episode.
Fucking hard pass.
All right.
Brian, any other thoughts?
And I appreciate you trying to listen to
so many episodes of the show you didn't have to do that.
Any other takeaways that you had from us?
No, I think most of the things that I had written down here
were addressed aside from,
thank you Suzanne Song, I'm going
to rip it and sell it as a ringtone on our website.
Perfect.
All right.
So.
Chey little diddy.
So as I already teased our buddy Andeus here and there's two reasons why Andeus here,
the first one being that he is a huge Tom them Steve Dave fan and a huge Brian Johnson fans
So he really wanted to be here to talk to you Brian.
Yep.
Oh, thank you. Thank you Andy.
Oh, yeah, it gets me through my shitty work day.
Andy has been promoting your podcast for years and I'm not exaggerating about that at all.
The other reason why Andy is here is because he listens to Stuttering John and pulls a bunch
of clips which means it's time for the... So I gotta tell you guys, Stuttering John is not handling things well.
The way he's handling it is putting out fucking marathon podcasts.
They've gone ballooned up to two hour episodes.
Yeah.
It's a slog.
Have you ever watched any of these videos on YouTube, Brian?
I have.
Yes.
I recently got back because you guys got back
into the Stuttering John world.
I kind of left after I watched his movie. And like now I'm down the Stuttering John world. Yeah. I kind of left after I watched his movie.
And like now I'm down the Stuttering John rabbit hole
like thinking what would make the show better
and what he should avoid.
Like all this shit that doesn't even matter.
Yeah, so I'm helping this guy.
So, John.
I thought he was out of my life.
John is in his apartment,
which we now know as an apartment
because he's sharing his neighbor's Wi-Fi.
He's in his apartment without air conditioning
in a hundred degree weather in LA,
using his merchandise to wipe his sweat off his face,
his greasy hair, he looks terrible.
Oh, God.
He looks so bad.
Unhealthy, the guys just drinking himself to death.
Yeah.
By himself, it is a part matter.
And he's putting it on YouTube.
Usually, when you go down that road,
you don't put it on the internet.
You don't have to go with that's why
you live your life.
You want to like keep that secret.
Not this fucking guy.
So he had a show recently with Mike Gange.
Right.
Is that what you listen to?
Yeah, I listen to a couple actually.
Oh Jesus.
And sorry, I know, I had some time on my hands.
Okay.
But we've clowned him a bit about the fact that he used to have Royce producing his
show in a professional manner, and he had an intro doing a victory lap about his trump call right and it's his biggest claim to fame as of late and
It was just MIA from the show since he's been having to do it by himself. Yeah, now. I think what's going on
Is he's just playing an old episode of his show that was produced well?
Because if you everybody lists listen very carefully
that the no clip one yeah a labored exhalation but while he presses play on an
old podcast to intro his show okay I heard this too it's so funny
I
Pop why not back never
Dude I think you're shit. Yeah, it sounds like he's taking a shit. Oh
God it's funny Brought so Brian are you are you still a stern listener?
No, I gave up Stern quite a while ago.
It was actually, I think it was when he was interviewing Tina Fey.
It was asking her if she thought that Leonardo DiCaprio was a misogynist for dating all these
models because he seemed to think it was his opinion and I was like, this is not even,
it's almost like when my grandfather fell and broke his hip and got dementia and it's like just not the same guy at all. Yeah. It's kind of the same thing I
think. I agree. And I do. So, Stuttering John also thinks that Stern is maybe on his way out. And
we're going to skip to the clip 17. This is where John starts discussing who should take over for Stern
You might you might guess in one guess who he thinks
I'm not trying to blow my own horn here, but come on guys
Does any heir apparent to the Stern show thrown it's me?
Fred can't host his own show he's boring as fuck
Robin needs a sidekick
She can't do it alone Baba Bowie is boring his hell John Hyne is equally as bland
I mean who else is there?
Shouli come on
Please
You know, you know, I love Jason well, but then that hosts Benji forget it. He's all stick,
all stick really. Who's left? You know, you could say already, but already I think is more
of a sidekick type. I don't think he can, I don't think he can steer the ship. He can
make the ship funnier. And then you have Jackie and I, you check these yeah, I don't know I think Jackie's a tad too old at this point
That leaves one guy could I point out what's wrong with this trade of thought sure there is no such thing as a
Successor to a radio show
You know so I'm a stirred fan and I listen to a story judge show because that was what came out next like that's how that works
And oh it's turned retires. It's gone.
Yeah.
You don't get the head writer from 1983 to come back
and revive the show.
Hey Jackie, why don't you host the show?
Now, no one would even consider that.
That's stupid.
Yeah.
That's the making sense.
Especially when you consider that this is clip five
is John's interview style.
This is him interviewing Gange.
Okay.
So wait, so then you're there,
and then when does Grillo show up?
So Grillo started around 92.
So you and I were there for like two years,
pretty much.
How did I end up?
And there was another in turn.
But I had to get Grillo to the park and...
Oh, that's how you interview
The other thing that he's doing a lot now is
Videos for people that are frontline
Workers, yes, so he does cameo, right, which you purchase a cameo from him. Thank you very much
I did I do appreciate that and
Now he's saying that he'll do a cameo video for you if you're a nurse or a doctor dealing with COVID patients or if you are a
COVID patient as
Stuttering John M on Twitter. I will do a video for you and all the other nurses at your hospital, whatever
you want.
Thank you so much for your hard work.
Thank you for the super chat.
And seriously, you know, I've been doing them from free.
In fact, newsdegers did an article about how I'm doing that.
But yeah, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.
It's all give it up for Nikki B.
Come on, it's all due to Gu do a puzzle for Nikki B in the house.
Ah.
Oh, so somebody put in his chat,
this woman Nikki B said, I'm a nurse.
Yeah, dealing with COVID patients, which is a lie
because everyone's just trolling John.
He doesn't understand.
After that, he wished happy birthday to Nick Gurb.
He saw John's understanding that I was just trolling him
and he's very tired.
So anyway, the funny part about that is he says he's doing
free videos for these nurses.
His cameo videos are not entertaining in any way
that you're not helping people through those.
June just thank you. Thank you.
He said he'd do anything.
Who would he commit sepaku?
He calls Jackie too old but it really sounds like his uppers are giving him a little bit
of a problem, doesn't it?
He's talking a lot like this, but he's supposed to be Stern's successor.
Yeah.
We also wise about his age, which is weird.
He's saying he's 47 when he's 54.
Isn't that like what women do?
Like women in Hollywood do that?
Yeah.
Not like stuttering people, right?
I mean, I would tell my true age because he looks 60.
What?
That's such a good point.
Jen, if you said you were 65,
I'm like, all right, what are you doing all right?
You probably doesn't have a drinking problem.
But what do you say you're 47?
You're like, Jesus Christ dude.
I can see your liver through your t-shirt.
The fuck is wrong with you?
Well, like I said, there's a lot of other people
trolling him in the super chat.
He's all about the super chat.
I don't get it.
Like, why would you take on,
he's making four or five bucks at a time, Andy.
Yeah.
Literally, he's excited about someone giving him two dollars.
He'll read their question on his show.
Right.
For two fucking dollars.
Yeah.
And Brian, there's a guy, Shamus,
that does a lot of terrible podcasting
that takes a lot of shit from this show.
Patrick Michael, yes.
Right.
And Patrick Michael is contributing to John's super chat.
This is a clip nine. Patrick Michael, I to John's super chat. This is clip 9.
Patrick Michael, I love you brother. I don't know why you hate me. Anyway, you can...
Anyway, you can get Karima a little Gibraltar on the show. I probably can.
And maybe I will just for you Patrick.
But only if you start fucking, you know, fucking Super Chat and more than two bucks.
He, and he calls him a truck.
Somebody giving him money.
So he's goofing on you, John, because you talk about
who you were the head writer for the cream of dual
debar roast all the time.
As if that's an amazing accomplishment.
He says, can you get cream of dual debar to show?
And Jack goes, I could if he gave me more money.
What? What?
What?
It's not getting the joke at all.
And he's asking for more money from the only guy
giving a money.
I'm not giving a money.
Look, fucking idiot.
So he calls him cheap every time he only gives him two bucks,
but he's commenting throughout the show.
So in the end, it's whatever eight bugs.
I'm giving a job zero. Yes. I'm not cheap at all.
Actually, my buddy Vitty just bought all three of his t-shirts.
Right. Because that was the last thing.
Yeah, the wheel of consequence on our show, the creep off.
Anyway, I digress. What else you got on here, Andy?
Well, there's more interview shit with Gangey.
Gangey starts talking about, uh, let's see.
By the way, let's talk about Gangey real quick.
Okay, because I listen to some of this episode,
I could listen to the whole thing,
because it's two fucking hours.
By the way, it's crazy.
I was a huge stern listener, as you know,
you and I had listened to Stern throughout the 90s.
We talked about Stern a lot.
Brian, you listened to Stern back in the day.
When it was good. when it was good.
Oh yes.
I honestly don't remember,
I know the name Gange,
I don't remember anything about him.
I've tried to remember like why he was out of the show
or what he did.
You know why you don't remember?
Because he's not interested.
He's not interested.
It's just interesting guess to have on this show.
And everything is just a rehash of.
I remember grillo, I remember grillo, I remember why do these people but Gange? Yeah, whatever
It's like a back office guy. Yeah, right so let's see clip
Seven is Gange
Commenting on why John didn't really go anywhere with the Leno show
show. I love your setup. I'm sorry. I didn't go anywhere with the Leno show because he likes talent. Let's listen to this. You
ultimately didn't fit in on the Leno show in that sense when
you left, right? I think I think they just didn't know how to
use you. I think they they had this general idea and then once
you got there, they were like, Oh, shit, what are we doing? We
don't know how to use this guy. That's my interpretation of what went on.
No, I think what happened is that Howard
made such a stink about it.
They couldn't do what they wanted to do with me.
They were a little bit afraid.
Yeah, no, that's true too.
Which is just the way that, you know, like, like,
like, that, you know, and you don't know if that,
but that's what Howard would do.
He would just make it really, he made it very difficult
for me there.
just make it really, he made it very difficult for me there.
So it's not that I was a talentless loser.
Said Howard stopped me from participating.
The way they're describing this, you would think he was on J. Lennon's show for six months.
They couldn't figure out how to use you and that's why it didn't work out.
He was on the show for 10 years.
He was on the tonight show,
or whenever the fuck you have on what I was doing
after he got taken off of that time slot,
for 10 years, whenever he was gonna do, he did.
Yeah.
It wasn't like, he told me back, man.
Yeah.
I just didn't work time.
John X, like he was like a one and done season on SNL.
Right.
He's the fucking Tim Meadows of the tonight's jumper Christ sake.
But if you think about like how much would you,
like how much would you love to know
all the all the back office politics, all the dirt from like the 80s into the 90s,
even into the early 2000s,
like where or where Stuttering John could have provided it.
If he did not have to
interview people and he wasn't so boring. He's talking to Gange who's his
friend and he's known for so long. I listened to this episode too and it's like
they go on and on about what color his car was on the channel nine show and all
this other boring shit. Yes, and he's got a clip about the car. I know they
tied it up. What was it? It was a beer.
It was an ultimate.
No, it was a beer.
Remember, I would get into the car and not only did it
reek, it literally just like pot and booze and like,
you know, stale beer.
And you would look in the back seat.
And the back seat would be just filled with empty cans of beer.
And every morning, I would panic that I was going to get pulled over by a cop. And
they were going to look at all these empty containers in the back and think they were
mine. And they'd arrest me. So I was always worried. I was going to get arrested because
of you. You know, Ganges, you know, I bought that car. You used from a guy would, I got
a good deal because the guy had a bladder problem
And he would pee all over the seats. Oh, no, I didn't know that I swear to God
This car is covered in piss. I'll take it
Well, I heard that pledge of that because I heard that, too
And I'm thinking oh John knows that his car smelled terrible
So we had to make up this elaborate story. Well, the guy who owned it used to pee himself. That's why it's not the combination of my PO and
Be shitting myself. It's
Previous owner. The other thing is like there's so celebratory about John obviously driving well intoxicated and like they're laughing about it
And it makes you think like
John's character hasn't improved in decades. He's still the same asshole. Yeah, that is that is the funny part because they're talking about
John when he was like 20 and he's like, yeah, you know in your car
You used to like have all your beer cans and you were smoking pot and John celebrates those things about himself now
Yeah, yeah, he was doing an ad read for the speed weed thing
where I guess they deliver marijuana to him.
And he's like, oh, I was got so wasted last night.
It's like, John, you're 54 years old.
Yeah.
That's something to be proud of.
When you're in high school,
you could have a conversation about being wasted last night.
And I'll proud of yourself.
But you live by yourself, you're 54.
You're three kids.
What are you doing?
Well, there's a lot of people. see some people like some people guys still have mullets or some women with these outdated hair styles
Yeah, and they hang on to them because this was like when I was cool
This is when I looked my best so this is the way that I think I look good
Right, even though now you look like a shithead And even though now you look like a shithead.
And but even though you look like a shithead,
I'm one of her.
And that's just John.
He's like got arrested development.
He was never, he's never going to be as cool as he was back then.
But Brian brings up a really good point.
There are interesting stories to be told.
Because if you listen to Stern back in the day,
that was a lot of shit going on.
And he finds the most dull things to talk about with the most boring guests.
I have a huge stirred fan and I couldn't be less interested in what they're talking
about.
I don't care who parked Robin's car.
Oh yeah.
There's no parking Robin's car for 30 minutes.
Like what ever. Oh, yeah. Is that your parking Robin's car for 30 minutes? Like, what happened?
Oh, it was a major transmission.
It was not like, okay.
And a lot of these guys have access to grind
so you could really get some good stuff out of them.
Right, right.
It's interesting too.
People post in our subreddit, tweets that John puts out,
I can't see them because I'm blocked,
but apparently he was tweeting at Scott DePace,
who was the head of Howard TV.
And he's like, hey, you gotta come on the show.
I recently had Ganjian and I had KC Armstrong,
and you gotta come on.
It's got to pace, just roll back.
I think my golf club is reopening soon,
so I'm gonna be busy.
It just fine told me, it's like,
I want nothing to do with you, Jon.
Which was great,
because I love that it was public like that.
It's kinda like when Jon asked Monique to be his co-host,
he should not have done that on the show
so that we could all see him get denied.
Yeah, and rejected.
He should have done that with a text message.
Yeah.
I mean, there was an episode, I skipped the Monique one. Yeah, I just, look, I saw that she was on it.
I can't do it with her.
She's got the most fucking annoying voice.
Now, just, this is just a quick thing of a staple of John's
where he has to prove that he's good at
shit because everybody knows that he's not.
So he has to give his report card every time.
Clip 6.
Jackie and Gary are beaten.
Rackable.
You and your brother are beaten tennis.
Can't be.
I beaten boxing.
Tom, I beaten golf.
Dude, I have that.
I pulled that clip too.
Because I wasn't going to pull clips because you were.
But I'm like, holy shit.
Now he's a sports star.
Like we already know these amazing rock musician, he's the funniest comedian that anyone's ever heard.
He's got all these chops and now he's fucking breaking about golf.
There's another thing I gotta fucking hear this asshole talk about, fuck!
Everyone's toxic golf.
I'm just not, I'm just not buying it.
No, he's beating people at wreck it all like whatever
What up for
No, these are this is one thing that happened in the course of 50 years
Yes to bring it up every fucking time
Now I'm not a
You know, I was very bad math student when I was in high
school, but I know a thing or two. Brian, if you have one banana and two apples and you
give one apple away, how many apples do you have?
I would assume one.
Okay. I think you were right. And most people would assume that if you only have
one of something, then you have one.
But in the Super Chat, people, you know,
because John had his lights turned off
and his internet turned off,
people are thinking that he's on hard times.
And people are asking him if he even has a car.
So he's gonna answer that question in Clip 10 here.
I'm glad you pulled this. Somebody wrote a guy to their sub-rider.
John just said he had a walk to the liquor store to buy beer. I don't think he has a car.
I'm like, well, it's kind of taking a lead. He was probably already drunk.
Rod's podcast and attainment. $5. Speaking of radio gunk, the forum donks think you don't have a car. Can you dismiss those slanderer's accusations and screw Eddie A. Moffa Life?
Not only do I have a car, I have two cars and a motorcycle and they are all paid for.
One car I gave to my daughter. Okay, so you don't have two cars.
By the way, I want to point something out
and this is me being kind of a prick,
but rich people never talk about how their car is paid for.
In fact, rich people have leases.
They have expensive cars that they pay for everybody.
No one ever says my car's paid for.
That's not an impressive thing.
It means your car's old.
Yeah, it probably sucks.
Yeah.
When people who have cars that are paid for,
they're poor people with shitty cars.
That's usually how that works.
They're paid for.
They used to be that bumper sicker of the 80s.
You put it on your shitty cars.
You don't laugh.
It's paid for.. It doesn't the joke
And he did you happen to hold a clip with John pervain out over in marine. Oh God, you know, I didn't
Because it was so long
Yes, yes
And it was just like so long of just like them watching a video and
I'm going, oh, look, look, there she is.
You're right, though.
It's just like so pathetic to be like, you know, look how hot she is.
But that's all John does is talk about what's in over.
Yeah.
Well, how hot she was and he's like, and then he's at one point, he's like,
yeah, we went up in a hotel.
And why would he say that?
Because he's like a child.
He's talking about when you get racquetball and meeting up with a hot girl.
Okay.
But probably because his wife is happily remarried.
So.
But that was a weird segment too because in order to show how hot this chick was, he had
to replay a
prank call he did with beetle juice or some type of prank they played on beetle juice
Yeah, which was a very long segment and a terrible prank like hey look at me goof on a person who's literally retarded
Okay, I mean neat. Yeah good for you, but just not that breath
This guy had no idea it was goofing out of him. Well, okay. Yeah, you got over on but just not that impressive. Yeah, this guy had no idea.
It was goofing out of him.
Well, okay.
Yeah, you got over on somebody who's not
to leave jail and you're dead.
Congratulations.
You're not, buddy.
Oh, and so let's see, when we intro the segment,
we hear John's sign off.
So when he signs off, he fucks up the sign off
of his own show.
Come on.
Yeah, I'm not kidding.
This clip is not edited.
Okay.
This is the end of his show where he, where he cuts off his own outro.
And this is Theta and John saying, g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g-g- He starts it in the rock spot and ends it in the rock spot. It's so great.
It's such a metaphor for what John is producing these days.
Like that sums it up.
You can't even get his catchphrase out.
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah, he really needs a producer or he really needs to stop podcasting is really what
he needs to do.
I have one flip that I pulled from the Centering John episode because they talked about my friends,
Royce and Mike over at Revenge of the Sys show.
And those guys goofed on John stand up.
So John explains how he doesn't goof on people stand up routines.
I'm not going to badmouth anybody else's stand up,
just like those two fat bulls, fat fucks over in the Orlando and
Tampa scene to feel okay
with playing somebody, some, some set and some barbecue place where I'm working out
shit. It's all edited to make me look bad even though I'm getting huge laughs. I mean,
you don't do that if you're a comic Mike Sheel.
All right, so here's, here's my assessment of that. He tries to have it both ways. I was
working out shit, which is a lie because all of those jokes that were on that
stand-up routine, he's been telling on his podcast for years.
This is his stand-up routine. So he wasn't working out new material.
But then he also says I was getting huge laughs. So which is it?
Were you working on new material or were you killing it?
Just pick one. You know what the heck? He said,
can't be both. Just pick one. You don't have to have, you think, can't be both.
Just pick one of those two things.
And he was performing in a barbecue restaurant.
They didn't have a stage.
It was not a stage there.
So we had to physically bring in a PA system
and set it up in order for him to perform in this place.
That's how you know that you're really successful.
When there's nothing to perform on,
it's something that's to bring in a PA system there's nothing to perform on. And someone has to bring it up, P.A. system.
I like to imagine standing on top of a table
like in the corner.
Well, the end of that episode, not the end,
but the last clip I have from that episode
is what, I guess, Ganges went to visit John in California.
And they spent some time at his house
and then went out and this is how
Gangey remembers that clip 8.
I came and visited you in LA once and twice.
I came to your house.
Calabas is going to take it to the tonight show.
No, no, no, this one.
No, you didn't.
No, I met you in Calabas as we hung out in your yard.
You had Susanna bring you a million beers and then you then we went to some other
I think I was like a restaurant we went to like it where we sat outside and you
ordered another like 10 beers and then you made me pay for it. I made you pay for it.
I think so. I don't know it sounds plausible to me.
Listen, I am not shy about my drinking problems, but this guy needs to fucking cool off.
Every story about John is that he's drinking way too much.
Every single story.
I think this guy has a drinking problem.
Yeah, his back seat's full of beer cans.
I'm starting to think this guy would have a drinking problem. Hounding beers on his podcast to honor the medical profession.
Oh, I know.
That was so uncomfortable.
For your soundboard, you should add Tony soprano saying, remember when is the weakest
formal conversation?
Yes.
It's all John does.
Oh, yeah.
Well, the other thing that he does is hate Trump.
And I skipped the Monique episode, but I did listen to two hours of him talking to this guy,
Noel Casler, that is what I can understand is a Trump conspiracy theorist. Okay. I'm glad you're bringing this up
I'm not listening to the show but my buddy drew Lane from the drew in Mike show sent me a note the other day he goes
Sunning John's podcast is ranking all of a sudden. What's going on? Yeah, and Sunning John's podcast does not have listeners
Nobody likes the show. I mean, there's there's hate listeners, but
People aren't listening to the show on purpose
So I was like, well, this is fucked up.
Like all of a sudden he got this huge spike.
I think it's because he had this guy on who hates Trump and got a bunch of
Trump haters listening to his show.
Yeah.
Because all I did was read the description.
And this guy was like a producer on the apprentice or something like he has
some relationship with Trump.
Correct.
Okay.
That is an accurate description.
But you know they
really didn't talk that much about trump carl no they just kind of talked about
John's neighborhood this is clip 12 okay used to be all white until these
spikes and n words took over yep spicks n words and muslims when I When I was in that was all white. What the fuck?
What the hell? I guess John's neighborhood is getting gentrified, I don't know.
I want to call this episode of the spot guess, Spixit Edwards.
The fuck is wrong with this guy?
I guess Noel revealed something about John to clip 13.
He had blown his father.
All right.
I think I'm going to take a little bit.
Yeah, maybe a little bit.
We'll get a little suspicious of these clips all of a sudden.
But there also, I think maybe John caught on a Patrick Michael and blacked him from the
super chat.
I don't know, because I didn't really hear any Patrick Michael on this episode, who
they do have now is Hot Carla, which Brian, if you don't know, John is kind of keen to
tell.
He's kind of familiar with our show and he likes to call Carl hot car love.
Yeah, when he's not threatening legal action or to break my legs, he's calling me Carl
law.
And I don't know, I wasn't sure.
I thought maybe in clip 15, this is actually you on the super chat.
I don't know.
Okay, let's find out.
Surprise.
Like these people like look hot
Carla. I know that, you know, I'm only gonna mention them because they're
donating money to my new studio, but in word, it's cool. Grabbing Post is cool.
You got me, Andy. I was in there. That was me.
Grabbing Post is cool. that's all I'm talking about
the internet all day long.
Crapin' post!
Crapin' post!
It cracked me up so much.
I'm crying.
That was so funny.
But then, all right, and then it just gets so
egregious, you know how John has to tell you
how great he is.
Does it?
It's, it'll blow your mind.
Okay.
He, I guess he's rewatching Star Wars.
Okay.
And did you know that Sudden John is as accomplished as Lucas?
Haha.
You're saying it.
It's sad.
We got a lot of comments.
Yeah, they have a lot in common.
Clip 16.
Oh shit. You know, I just hate in common. Clip 16. Oh shit.
You know, I just hate when George Lucas went back
and retouched everything.
I mean, I once did that with one of my NYU films,
but it'll never be as good as the first.
And it wasn't even with the NYU film,
you know, that I touched up, that I got an A on,
but I felt I had to talk to Peter.
It has a real ending.
Ah!
Ha!
Ha! Hurry, please! I had to better have a real ending
You know, I got an A on it. I can't believe that's how it was as good as Star Wars. It was how his brain works
Holy shit.
Anything else on John can we move on?
Yeah, let's move on.
Okay, let's move on because I want to respect our guest time.
But Brian, we have to talk about this guy. I listen to O.B. recently.
He was doing one of these YouTube stream shows.
Like John does.
Yeah, we just shout out the people that you see on the screen. Yeah, I think them for listening
Right so annoying so annoying because he's outside he's on the beach
And you hear the wind blowing and it's obnoxious and it sounds terrible Brian. Any chance you are checking out what Opie's putting out
Anyway, and as much as whatever you guys decide to air. That's what I listen to
way away. Uh, and as much as whatever you guys decide to air, that's what I listen to. Okay. So you like both people. Fair enough. So Opie is living through the same thing that we all
are and trying to figure out the new lifestyle here. And I love that he's learning things that I feel like most of us probably knew long before COVID-19.
I realize, you know, proper hygiene you could actually prevent yourself from getting the flu, the cold, and everything else.
I wish I knew that years ago.
Is he that stupid? Is he playing a character?
My new Opie character is not the dumbest dubby to ever exist
He didn't know I feel like that is a character listen to his voice. It gets very high like I didn't know that like
He's trying to play dumb
That has to be yet because he goes on to explain. He didn't use the wash his hands
Yeah, because he goes on to explain he didn't use the wash his hands.
I didn't wash my hands a lot until this.
Just didn't.
Then I'm like, God, I got the flu again.
I could be wrong.
Brides, I guess I corrected.
He really is that stick.
Jesus Christ.
So this is a guy,
Greg Opie Hughes, who used to be on one of the biggest radio shows ever on XM radio on serious XM,
millions of listeners, huge fan base.
Now he's doing a podcast that doesn't rank as well as two dumb sluts on barstual sports. Yeah. And he's complaining about comedians and how much attention they need.
It's kind of funny to see some of these comedians there. They're kind of going crazy.
They're kind of losing it a little bit. My advice to them would be to get a little
more balance in your life. You
can't have your whole life revolve around getting on a stage and then since you're off that stage,
you're thinking about getting on another stage within an hour. That's exhausting right?
Ah
Said the former shock Jack now on YouTube live streaming to 17 people
What's wrong with you, baby? It's so much attention. He's giving mental health advice
To stand up comedians. We're having a difficult time because they can't perform. Yeah stand up I said the guy who wandered on the supermarket sweep holding his zoom recorder
Well, podcasting while you're on TV
Forget about that guys grocery games super
Guys grocery games fucking walks out there like a homeless man
Delivers his lines terribly. Yeah, I got a bunch of sweatshirts. I think Carl used to wear sweatshirts, right?
That's the thing we're doing?
If you're to analyze that statement by Opie, it is kind of narcissistic where like
he probably after working so much just discovered like,
oh wow, there is a life outside of radio like my wife and my kids and
there's this whole big world and now that he's discovered it, he just assumes
no one else has discovered it.
It's really easy for people who have There's this whole big world and now that he's discovered it he just assumes no one else has discovered it
It's really easy for people who have fuck you money to tell people to get over it Oh, right, you know, that's a really shitty thing to say to someone like this. They said a comedian's
They need to get on stage like well, that's how they make a living yeah my buddy mini polino is a stand-up comic
He's making no money now.
It sucks.
It's not fun.
I hope he's going, what the fuck's your problem?
You got to be out of the stage so badly?
What's why it's how I get paid?
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I feel trapped in my studio, New York City,
third floor walk-up apartment.
Well, why can't you just go to your house
and the Hamptons?
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Yeah, why is there one like me?
Fucking idiot.
Why didn't you hook up with a guy who's actually really funny and talented and right in his co-tales all the way to the top?
And then retire with your 55. Why did you do that?
So never what's new in?
I think Vinnie's trying to do that. He just picked you and said is somebody talented.
Fair enough. Alright, so this is OP showing how out of touch he is with the rest of the world.
Yeah, but I like the social distancing. I mean, my life, I like to keep to myself as a lot of you know,
which was kind of stupid to go into radio if you think about it, because I've always been a very private person that kept to myself and then for some reason I use radio
to express myself and get another side of my personality out but this is pretty
much my life whether we're in the coronavirus pandemic or not. Said the loser. If your wife hasn't changed, you're not doing well.
There are people I know, my sister,
whose life has not changed.
It's not a good thing.
It's not something to brag about.
What's everyone complaining about?
I didn't hit friends before this.
Okay, I mean, I did.
That's how.
So.
What do you guys missin' out on dinner parties? Okay, I mean I did
What do you guys miss the out at dinner parties? Well, yeah
Finally his inability to relate to people as an asset yes
It's like guys I got this all figured out you want to ask me how to live your life. It's really easy All you need is 17 followers on Facebook. Yeah
your life. It's really easy. All you need is 17 followers on Facebook. Yeah.
But, Opie, how do you make any money? Oh, I mean, millions of dollars years ago. So, I'm
fine. Oh, okay. That's the part that I fucked up.
I missed that.
Yeah. I said, I'm skipping straight to the big loser in my house, the podcasting. I missed
that thing in between.
She's in stress. All right. I love when Opie gets political because he knows nothing about politics.
He's so bad at communicating his position on things.
This is the most generic bullshit to complain about.
That's what pisses me off more than ever.
Now it's become this like tug of of war, I guess, because...
stupid us, stupid humans, stupid humanity.
We have to make everything political,
and we decide to make a pandemic political.
God, are we so stupid?!
God!
Said the unemployed man who didn't have his job, Riptari, from him.
Heh heh.
Why is that all that's so political?
I don't know, because the governor told my company
that we had a shutdown.
Sounds like politics are involved.
I'm just throwing it out there, Hopi.
This fucking asshole, he's like,
why don't you just drive to your fucking house
and just hang out in your house like you do every day?
Cause that's how I live my life.
Nope, I'll stay at my house someday.
So then he goes on to tell a story that's definitely not true.
And we're in New York state and Brian,
you're in New Jersey.
We're in some of the hardest hit places for COVID-19.
So we all wear masks out in public now.
It's, I don't know, a regulation.
It's not a law, but they certainly recommend her to see.
They certainly recommend that you do. You walk into Wegmans, there's a fucking sign that says,
put a fucking mascot you asshole. Yeah. I made that sign and I put up there for free.
And this is OP telling a story that could not have possibly happened.
So now if you're out and about with a mascot, people are pointing at you, they're getting
in your space. One of my friends said that someone yelled at him,
said, what are you rubbing up, bake?
Does this sound like an experience,
anyone's had?
No, it's usually the opposite.
Right, if you're not wearing a mask, people are pissed.
Yeah. People jogged by my house,
outside by themselves with a mask on.
I'd point really cool that, but they don't see me.
Yeah.
But that was Opie's hot take.
Well, that was because he talked about how to tell, you know,
political and he's like, this is what's going on right now.
So well, that's not what's going on at all.
It sounds to me like you've never left your house.
Yeah, you don't know what's going on.
What's interesting is like watch any number of
Episodes of Anthony Kumi a show where he does political commentary and I don't think I've seen him once break down into like god
Girl commentary on anything
Yeah, this is that actually sets up this nice clip perfectly. I'm struggling to understand
it. So this is where he goes to with his hot political talk. We're so immature as a species. We
think we're so smart. We're just not. To your point, Brian, that's exactly what he's doing.
To your point, Brian, that's exactly what he's doing. I think there was a comic on SNL who had a skit
and he would hold up the newspaper headlight and just go,
I mean, what?
And that was like, is that like,
I'll be talking to myself.
Guys, can you believe this?
I mean, what?
Really?
I'm gonna accuse him of having that. Guys, can you believe this? I mean, what? Really?
I've been accused of having that. I take myself, and I think about it.
What are we talking about? Fair enough.
But Opie does relate to us guys when he talks, and we can all understand where he's coming from.
The puberty where, you know know you start looking down going oh my god I got ball hair and that first it freaks you out
let's be honest first time you started getting puberty care kind of freaks you
out right? No. Hey I don't remember. B no one's freaked out about pubic air. What you talking about?
Remember you got ball heri,
you read, you got into your mom?
No, I don't.
It's like you see a ball hair and you're like
carry in the showers.
Right, that's how that happened at all.
I was anticipating this would happen.
Yeah, I took health class at fifth grade.
I knew this was going to happen.
You could tell by my voice that I still have it
hit puberty.
And he won't be freaked out.
I promise you'll be fine with it.
I'll be put out a video that is so generically unfunny
after this whole controversy with Trump talking about injecting like
Sal or whatever the fuck Trump said who even knows oh we put out a video where
he's pouring bleach and different cleaners into his coffee and stirring it
around it's the opposite of funny yeah but he has to bring this up on his
podcast and explain about all the haters.
Uh, oh the tied pod coffee.
Yeah, that pissed off so many people.
I'm like, relax, I'm just going for a joke.
No, piss people off because it wasn't funny.
See, people with such a humor get upset when someone's trying to be funny and miss that badly.
It bums us out.
We get pissed off about that. The whole point of this episode,
though, was talking about his glory days of being on open Anthony. When he had a bit,
strippers would come in. He had a bit where he would guess their ages by looking at their taint.
Here's that clip. You liked when I guessed the ranges?
Thank you.
This was the N.E.W.D.
It's W.N.E.W. for the old fans.
Regular radio, which I can't believe.
And these young ladies who come in,
and I think Anthony would set me up
and say that I have a special town
that I could guess at girls aged by looking at their taint.
And these dummies, these bubble-headed bleach plaws,
they're like no way!
And before they finished saying no way, they were completely naked and bent over.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
But all we can do is talkin' about is playin'
So, Ophi's explaining that he was getting over on these strippers. Meanwhile, the Ophi and Anthony show at that time was nothing but naked girls in the studio.
Right.
It's what they did.
And if a stripper came on the show, the only job she had was to take her clothes off.
And Ophi's like, I was able to trick them.
I told him to show me their private parts and they did.
That's why they went out the show.
That was the whole point of going out the show.
This is him explaining that he outsmarted them.
And these dummies, I'll give something away.
I've never given away until this moment.
These dummies forgot they had to fill out, I've never given away until this moment. These dummies
forgot they had to fill out a form to come on our radio show a mere 10 minutes before
they came in studio where they had to give their birthday.
What a Houdini. So in Opie's mind, he thought that the girls really thought he could tell
their age by looking at their taint. The girls didn't think that, Alpie. They knew what
was going on. They were in on the joke. Okay. Show me your vagina and I'll tell you what
year you're going to die. Okay. That that stupid? Yes.
Well, he's commenting on how these girls are all dumb.
Meanwhile, he's a guy who's been broadcasting for decades and doesn't know the meaning
of a windscreen on a mic.
Yes!
It's so hard to listen to!
It's so hard to listen to!
Oh, fucking OP, by the way.
That was a-
Enjoy his cackle.
I know.
That's the other thing too, is he's putting on this.
He's never himself, obviously.
He's always playing a character, but he's putting on this.
When he podcasts by himself, it's so hard to listen to,
because it's non-stop and pretending to crack himself up. Then the strippers, they show me their boobs.
You're not laughing at that.
Shenuadly. If he didn't do that, you wouldn't know where to laugh in the story.
Right.
All right, I got a quick clip here that is our...
Gringe of the week.
Gringe of the week.
And this week's Gringe of the Week comes in from Cody.
And he sent us a podcast that is called Zero Brightness.
This is a podcast about horror video games.
And it's typically hosted by a couple of men,
but on April Fool's Day,
a couple of women took over the show.
And they had a bunch of hilarious jokes
at the beginning of it,
that we're gonna enjoy right now. I'm here with Lacey Townsend. We're here to talk to you about our
periods. That's right. We're gonna talk to you about men'sies having the painters in on
Flow is in town. Right Lacey. Yes, I'm all about free bleeding. I don't like it. You're just wrong.
We're free bleeding. Happy April full stay. No JK we're not gonna talk about that although I
did once shed a cast of my uterus and it was crazy. Oh wow. Very cringe of the
week. Thank you Cody. Thank you for sending that in. What have we done today? Andy, Brian, what have we done today?
We've done it all.
We talked about NPR.

This is the part of the show where we play a clip
from the podcast that we'll be reviewing on next week's
episode of WATP.
That's right.
Next week, brand new episode of WATP.
And here's the show that we'll be reviewing.
I showered and then went and did the show hung out with some,
some of the fans that came to the show until around one in the morning,
laid down, got back up at 5 a.m. yesterday morning, Sunday, flew to
LA and got home, hung out for a little bit, got some groceries, then went straight over
to the troubidor and interviewed white reaper. And then after I was done with that came home kind of worked on the episode that's out right now.
That's here that we're talking about right now.
And then went over to Bill Burr's house and did his podcast.
So I have a fucking, now I'm about to go rehearse for the AC DC show tomorrow, the Bond Scott tribute.
So zero fucking rest at 54 years old, just grinding.
That's a podcast called What There Be Talk.
It's hosted by a guy named Dean Del Rey and Tim Gorman said in the suggestion for us.
Thank you, Tim.
I don't know who Dean Del Rey has Tim Gorman said in this suggestion for us. Thank you Tim. I don't know who Dean Delray is do you know?
Apparently he's a comedian plus amazing person who does it all
Doesn't sounds pretty normal to me. I went to the store
Put on my you know with the feet and he's 54
Amazing Andy he's 54. Amazing. All right, so that's not who he is. I've never heard of him.
Yeah, I mean either, but apparently he's a big deal.
And that's the show that we'll be reviewing
next week's podcast.
Brian, thank you so much for coming on the show.
We really enjoyed having you on.
Let's talk about Tell them Steve Dave,
your podcast. What's going on with tell them Steve Dave these days?
Same thing that goes on with everyone. We got to have to do it by
phone
visit suck
You can't get the like that chemistry that you normally have you just can't get it
So I think we're all willing to get COVID within the next week or two
So I think we're all willing to get COVID within the next week or two.
Sounds good. Yeah, it is a very big hits in the giddy up of podcasting when you can't
be in the same room together. But I did like the newest episode when you were shitting all over your reddit. Yeah, the tractors. Yeah, although I think that
they're right. I think the reddit got in the head of your co-host a little too much.
Because everything he said is just like, I know the reddit's gonna shit on me.
I can't live your life that way.
Not a good way to go through life.
That's just in the nature of Reddit though.
It is.
It is.
It's good.
Kering about what Reddit says is like, caring about what...
Who gives a shit?
You can't waste your time with that.
Yeah.
Also checking out your wood,
would you kindly with Eric Nagel
and him explaining the rule of thirds
on video podcasting?
Brian doesn't know that he has to center himself
on the video.
Just like I got on the side.
So Brian, I'm gonna play some voicemails but I don't want to waste your time with that.
So thank you so much for coming on the show.
I hope you come back again sometime.
Thanks guys, I appreciate it.
Alright buddy.
Thank you.
Thanks.
And Andy, anything that you want to plug?
I didn't think so.
So please, Jonathan, come back to me.
I want to put my eight-year-old niece's resume in so she can close the show.
Jonathan Kannex, wait.
It might be the episode we find out what's wrong.
Who are these podcasts?
Leave well, everyone.
Starting in the must-vis of Morning Radio.
And now the show is closed right here.
Oh!
Fucking care!
Great show.
Good job, everybody.
Great job, everyone.
This dude is fucking corn.
Uh-oh, great hard to learn. Great hard to learn, Clown.
Oh shit.
Monster wave. Don't waste your time.
Well, that's retarded.
Yeah.
YEEEY!
Who gets a shit, who gets a fuck? Yes, right.
Fuck you!
You're not Carries Man!
Fucking thing suck!
You know, who are these?
Podcasts.

I don't get it.
Makes no sense.
So I don't think Vic is here,

From our subreddit, and he is actually here in the Discord today.
No way! Fab, you hear, buddy? We'd love... Oh, he says no, in the discord today. No way! Fabby here, buddy?
We the- oh, he says no, he's not there.
He says- no, I'm not here.
He's keeps muting himself.

All right, well fuck you then, bitch.
Coward?
We all want to hear from Fab.
Alright, well maybe next time.
We'll keep it a mystery for now. Not
everybody has the stones that Vic has to actually come on the show or goes the
show. I know she was out earlier. Oh wow, maybe we didn't get enough reviews. So I know it's tough times with whatever reviews and voice mails and
let's wag his you know if it's not up to it we'll have to bring boomer guy back in.
Oh Jesus Christ speaking of boomer guy he fucking blew up the voicemail over the last
couple weeks. Jesus Christ. Oh, that even get me started. But here's a here's a voicemail from our buddy boomer guy.
What the fuck is the ice until?
What the fuck?
Carl, you've been hiding up this fucking band for so goddamn long and oh by the way, it's boomer guy
I'm not even up for so long and it's just a surfer rock band. It's just surf rock. I mean, it's great.
It reminds me of my time back in LA,
but I'm like California and shit, but I mean, like,
I thought this was, I thought it was gonna be more vocal.
This is all instrumental.
Did I happen upon the right band?
Cause it's just a little surfer rock.
I mean, you guys are doing okay. I have no idea which one are idea which one are you, man. I hope I hope you're the one with a little crew cut and you're all clean cut and shit.
Leak guitar. But then again, I got I feel like you're the bassist. But, uh, yeah, I guess.
Oh, I thought there'd be singing, but there wasn't.r, you know, like, what a hot take.
I know, great take.
Have I not explained this in instrumental band?
I feel like I've talked a lot more times.
Yeah, I think that's pretty well known.
The bass player is producer Chris, not me.
I would never be caught playing bass in a band.
Kinda looks like a way to do that.
I don't know, I think it's pretty cool, but...
Yeah, it is pretty cool, actually.
So the isotopes, if you go to the Isos.com, you can watch that video.
It's still up there, and we're not live anymore.
But the video is still there, and you can watch it, like it just happened.
Because the card is just dead.
Right.
I don't know.
I don't know what I'm talking about.
There's some great comedy mixed in.
And jokes. And jokes.
Good covers.
Thanks.
And what else are you going to do?
This guy gets it.
Yeah.
If you're familiar with Dick Masterson,
he used to be on a show called The Biggest Problem
in the Universe with Maddox.
Correct.
And since Maddox and Dick had their falling out,
Dick has talked about rebooting
biggest problem in the universe.
And he's approached people about maybe being a co-host
on that.
This voice matter has an excellent idea.
Carl, okay, bear with me here, man.
I think Shamest McHillian would be the perfect co-host
for Dick's reboot of the biggest problem in the universe.
And it sounds fucking nuts, but listen to me listen to me listen to me
He's looking for somebody who has the same weird ass thought processes that Maddox did and just based on everything that
That a shame is he's like says in his podcast like he doesn't put a and b together in the same way
I just think that he'd be perfect to at least audition for the W.A.
I mean, uh, for the, for the biggest problem, my boot.
And you should tell Dick to try to interview this guy.
I mean, I'm sure he'd do it for like a hundred bucks or something.
And it had the very least to be funny.
Who would do what for a hundred bucks?
It's shameless would do anything for probably half that.
Yeah, I was gonna say, you had to pay Shamus to go on Dick Masterson show.
Like Dick's show reaches a ton of fucking pieces.
Right.
But I have to say, I think it's a great idea.
I do do. I honestly do.
Yeah. I could see Shamus and Dick Masterson having amazing chemistry.
Yeah. Because it's almost like Pearl Punkington with...
Rick, you're very good.
Yeah, it's Stephen Merchant.
Right, yes.
Because the guy will just say things and then everyone can just go, what the fuck, what do
you mean?
What are you talking about?
What does that mean?
Why did you say that?
It's fantastic.
I can see that being really good.
Sure.
The problem is that Shamus won't do it, because he's a fucking idiot,
and he wouldn't recognize a good idea
if it fell out of the sky and landed in his life.
Do you think Patrick Michaels
not an intelligent person?
Mmm, yes.
And he's hot to it.
I didn't think about it for a second.
So a guy from Alabama called him.
Now, if you remember a week or two ago,
Vinnie was on the show and we reviewed the Crime
Cats True Crime Podcasts.
I remember.
And there were two women from Alabama hosting the show and it was perfect because Vinnie's
wife is from Alabama.
His in-laws live in Alabama still.
He goes there frequently.
So I thought it was good that we had his take on it. He understands that culture. I've never been to Alabama.
Okay.
Nor will they ever go to Alabama.
Don't. There's no reason to.
No.
So this person is from Alabama and was not pleased with that episode.
Hey, Carl, you big fucking bitch.
Just watch your newest episode.
You just couldn't help but make fun of Alabama all the time.
I'm from Alabama, and I can tell you with a lot better than bitch ass Rochester.
I was really good at cousin fucking jokes.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, we fuck our cousins down to Alabama.
Yeah, good one.
Never heard that one before
Don't fuck yourself and I will not be listening to your next episode
I am tired of Northern Yanks
Always making fun of the greatest day that ever did exist
Guess I should have expected that from a liberal cook like you
You fuck yourself one one left man.
She is.
That's a turn around.
Didn't it feel like he was gonna go,
I'm just fucking with dance, fine.
Oh yeah, it should, it's just,
because it'll never come up again.
You know you're pissed.
Carl picked the low-hanging fruit joke and...
I don't remember making a cousin fucking joke.
I know it either.
Maybe I did, I don't know.
But I didn't play the Alabama man saw and from South Park
I was kind of felt like that was a misstep for dare to they
What's annoying about that and I don't care that this person isn't listening because he doesn't get it
But we make fun of everyone all the time
Everyone all the time I get made fun of
not stop Everyone all the time I get made fun of non-stop
This guy goes you made fun of the alba. I'm a fuck you. I'm done. Do not do not do not it was your turn
Yeah, you're not understanding of this one minute
fucking moron
The pee pod is going strong
Look girl, I just listened to five episodes of the P pod.
And at this point, I just don't know the difference between ironically listening to the
P pod and ironically listening to the 9-minute podcast.
I mean, anchor at .fm was acquired by Spotify for $150 million, which is more money than
you'll ever see in your entire life.
So, like, you know's who's really dumb here.
Tell me back.
A hundred and fifty million is more than I'll ever see in my entire life.
Hmm maybe.
However, the PeePon is up to fifty seven dollars and twenty one cents that we've made so
far.
And a lot of that is advertising for anchor.fm? But some of it is monthly supporters.
I want to pay Cameron for his five bucks.
No, we're not paying.
Hey, I'm a little burned for my fucking bucks.
I'm a fucking.
Greg is giving a dollar, but this is amazing.
Go to the anchor.fm slash p-pot.
Well, I'll give you one chance right now to sell this.
Is it anything more than just piss hitting a toilet?
Are you talking during it?
I do talk during it.
Oh, you do.
Yeah.
I also sometimes play music and videos while I'm watching.
I'll never want to say, I don't care what you're saying.
Come on, he's gonna listen.
Come on!
Peep on, get behind it!
We've made almost 60 bucks in less than a month!
Fucking it's currently more than the 9 minute podcast is making.
Probably more? It's Andy? Probably more?
Three times more? It's a lot more.
Fucking shameless would have bought seven microphones with this kind of money.
Are you kidding me?
And I do want to point out that I've been in communication with my two podcast co-hosts,
Kaya and Doug, and we are looking at charities to donate a portion of our earnings, a portion.
That's all I beg.
A portion of our earnings will go to a charity, we'll make an announcement soon.
So, whistening and supporting the P pod is all for a good cause.
Last week. I don't believe it. listening and supporting the P pod is all for a good cause.
Less, I don't believe it.
Last week, I don't know if it was on the show or if it was just on the discord before
after, but I was talking about drinking, make Ultras and white claws.
She's fucking Christ Carl. White claw is fucking the culture I totally expect that
out of fucking and Andy and Robert Dick Cho but not you next time that I'm
gonna be fucking really lemonade fuck queer you couldn't have Andy you're so
rocker so backwards you dickhead and he brought over like really expensive drinking like fucking 12%
IPAs
Fucking stouts and shit Andy drinks what we call man beer
Correct. It's beer that men enjoy I drink girly drinks. Yeah, I'm watching his waistline
I enjoy a white claw
Speaking of the P pod. Carl, hey, I'm such a really big fan of your podcast,
not this one or your other one.
No, I'm a big fan of the P pod.
I listen to every episode while I'm at work.
It really makes my day go by faster.
That's what people say.
So much so that I decided I wanted to support you guys.
So on your podcast page, I saw a little thing that said,
support the creators and I've
signed up for 499 a month. You gave my credit card information to anchored.fm. So let's see what
happened. Just keep me updated. Let me know how much of that money you guys actually get. I'm
really curious about that. All right, we'll call me back and keep on streaming on.
Alright, we'll call me back and keep on streaming on. We will, buddy. Thank you so much for your contribution.
Carl, hey.
Andy, it's three minutes.
I'm getting the sense that you're jealous.
That making buddy for pissing.
Is that what's going on right now?
You look a little bit jealous about this.
I'm not jealous.
I don't knock you.
I don't knock the hustle, Carl. I'm just not gonna listen to that.
You're like green with envy. Right now.
I am surprised that it's an idea that's working for you.
I got surprised that Aikronaut about his business model.
It's like any sense. They're paying us for a busy. Okay, so this is someone. So W-A-T-P is an important
podcast, but I'm putting a lot more effort into my other shows
these days.
I was just finishing to the feedback for the first time. And that
dream police covered was absolutely garbage by 10 of the
TIGO department. I'm absolutely horrible. I would not want to do this
creep off anymore. I'm just sorry man. I. I'm a nice day Carl.
Somebody's confused. I think this versus confused. There's the creep off. Yeah I do with many
go to the creep off.com vote for Carl. And then there's the pee pod. There was no jingles
apartment tied to the pee pod. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We're going to get into the production
later on. All right. This is, remember how John had a borrow Wi-Fi from his neighbor Juan. I don't could forget
Juan called into the show one Melinda's
One called into the show
Hello, Carl. This is
Juan
Mexican labor
The suffering John I one, Mexican labor, the stuffering job. I am here to tell you I am very excited for Mexican
days. We just look at the holiday that he actually is. Not single day bio or DSCC,
September, or the other the phases, no, this is Mexican day. Realedators up to something dumb made up because he's fucking stupid
So John mentioned the Mexican day parade because he made a Trump joke
There actually is a Mexican day parade in the York City, okay, cuz I looked that up to like Mexican day
I've never heard of such a thing but yeah, I guess I guess the rest of Mexican day parade
But I think like guys dad was Mexican and his mom was Russian. Yeah, he said
you like a Mexican accent at all but one thank you for calling in and last pot last podcast.
I'm tired. Last voice about I want to play and this is our buddy Niko. Remember Niko? Yes.
buddy, Nico. Remember Nico?
Yes.
Nico is a missing person that our friend Marissa Jones talked about Marissa Jones and Kelly Jones.
Kelly Jones. Kelly Jones was the host of the social
distance assistance. She was insufferable. And then
Marissa Jones is the host of the vanished. She's
insufferable. And their last name is Jones and Alex Jones
Alex John, let's not forget about that. You know what Andy? You fucking know all about this shit
All right, that's all
Hey Carl is Nico the alleged pedophile or whatever it is who skip town
I got a call in to say two things.
First, Stephen John, I've been watching, I've been keeping an eye on his podcast.
I don't think he'll live till the end of the year.
He'll have his water shut off and he'll get some rash or something and then die of an inspection that
he could have easily cured if he had health care, which he doesn't because he's poor and ugly, discussing.
The other thing I wanted to say is a little constructive criticism towards Vic.
She is very funny on the voicemail segment.
Off of the voicemail segment, she is fucking horrendous.
I do not like listening to her, read the reviews.
And that says something more about, that says something both about the reviews and Vic because
they're all the same. Every review is the same. It's not just something I think, oh, I'd rather,
you know, shoot up the Christchurch than listen to this podcast or five stars or it's something like,
then listen to this podcast or five stars or it's something like, you know, I don't like the call says the n-word zero stars or one star or whatever the fuck they do on Apple.
Oh yeah, and I have to construct this because I have to give a compliment, don't I?
Vic, you look cute and your picture is on the discord.
You look cute. You have a C4 head and you look cute and your pictures on the discord. You look cute.
You have a C4 head and you look cute.
You have a cute look and face from what I can see.
And I'm probably just saying that because at one point
you ask me to rape you.
So that probably is some favoritism there.
But you should really kill yourself.
Anyway, Carl, I hate you.
I want you to die.
I hope your entire family dies. Call me back.
I don't know how to kill, but Nico anymore, but that's a hot take about my looking back.
Josh Ugly discussed that you forgot stupid and old.
You know what I forgot about PJ created a brand new remix for us.
And I'm an asshole, I should have played it sooner,
but PJ, thank you very much.
PJ from the Jingle's department put this together for us.
