Who Are These Podcasts? - Ep214 - Planet Mikey

Episode Date: July 13, 2020

Radio veterans out of Boston embarrass themselves trying to figure out how to podcast. GaS Digital owner and syndicated radio host Ralph Sutton joins to explain why they suck at podcasting and to offer some much needed advice on how not suck so much. We also talk about the current state of Opie's terrible podcast, Opie's attempt to buy-in to GaS Digital, and Stuttering John's continued failures.

the old guy jokes are hilarious because then you're applying that you're not going to get old. It makes no sense. You're saying you're going to guy young like what is the concept and you make fun of old people. Are you saying that's a short sighted thing to make fun of someone for a weird thing because you're gonna get old. You're like a joke for like a few years at most. I love it. You should be more annoyed to the fact that I'm fucking 25 year olds and you're not. With that, let's start the show. You ready buddy?

I'm ready. Here we go. Are you a boner guy? Cuzz. Cuzz a row. Cuzz a row. Slapperoonie. It's show time. A W-A-T-P!

Hello, Rubber Dixon, Cuzzle Rooms, and welcome to another episode of Who Are These Podcasts. The only podcast that starts off with a white power salute according to Tom Myers. I'm your host, Carl, with me this week, the world's most famous strip club DJ, it's Ralph Sutton. Welcome to the show, Ralph. Oh, no problem. Thank you for having me, guys. And just so you know, our problems are already continuing.

Your discord audio is dropping out left and right, but we shall carry on. Oh, you know what? I hope that the soundboard is coming through on your end. We've been having some technical issues that people in the Discord have had to listen to for the last 45 minutes. But I will save the listeners for having to hear any of that when I fix this up and post. Rolf Sutton from the SDR show, and of course, gas digital.

Very excited to have you on. Please go to whoarethese.com. We're going to our email address, voice mail number, link to our sub or at link to our discord server, link to our merchandise and link to our Patreon featuring two bonus episodes every single month. We just put one out this morning that was VIX entire stand up video that we teased a couple weeks ago. Also, we encourage our listeners to give us a five-star review on Apple

podcast and then shit all over us in the comment section. Today we'll be reviewing a podcast called Planet Mikey. This is a suggestion from a guy who wants to remain anonymous, which makes me think maybe he's on the inside over there. 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 hosted by a guy named Mikey Adams, Planet Mikey. And Mikey Adams is a radio vet. I did some Wikipedia reading and the person who suggested this gave me a long history on this guy.

He's up in the Boston market. He's been on the radio, he's gotten fired on the radio many times. He's now in a small market and on this shitty podcast. And you can tell that this is a radio guy doing a podcast. It's very obvious to me. What were your thoughts on this, Ralph? You know what's funny is that I feel like I know this guy in that I was this guy, you know, in that transitioning from radio to podcasting is a weird transition because all of

a sudden you have to realize a lot of this like when you speak in radio, you're taught to only speak in one to three minute encapsulated moments, you know, not to pontificate or a long gate and hours of fucking hour. You listen the first year of SDR show, we ended that show at an hour and this guy has all those troops that I did that I had to unlearn from doing radio for so long. Yeah, and they have these like little segments that they do and it's obvious a radio guy who's trying to fill time.

And that's the thing that might take away was, it's like, okay, we're going to do a joke and then we're going to do a quiz and then we're going to talk about this topic and it's very much like you said, we have a five minute segment to fill before weather and traffic. So let's do that. Start it here. And they just still have that kind of rhythm and cadence as they're doing this podcast. Not only that, even the, and I don't know how much of an audio file you are, even the

audio processing is very FM radio. It sounds much more like a over processed, over compressed audio. It is very much synonymous with radio. So when you hear it, it immediately sounds like a radio show because of that audio profile. Does that make sense? Well, it sounds like, yeah, it does. And it sounds like a terrible radio show.

Like the kind that I would never listen to. Typically, what I would do when I come out and I review a podcast, as I say, all right right the people on the show are This person this person this person. I have no idea who the other two guys are on with Mikey Adams They never say their names. They're not introduced. I sound like I'm doing the cup town review all over again These guys are even introducing themselves But it's so bizarre to me because you got these guys are like yes, man And I don't know what the fuck their role was on the show

But it's all about kissing this guy Mikey's ass Because he obviously feels really good about himself. I have very Radio it's sorry. It's very much radio. It's very much that he's coming from a world where he's on every day Somewhere else. I don't know where that is By the way, you gave me the last week's episode to listen to and then because we started a week later You asked me to sit listen again to next week which was the one you're doing now but I felt like it was unfair punishment to have those for the whole point. I was only a suggestion that you listen to. I wasn't going to make you. Thankfully these episodes are like 35 minutes long which is the only saving grace of this is that it kind of goes by pretty quick. I'm going to start off with a clip. This is them talking about people they think are bad tippers. These are just like

any type of radio package you would get like a prep burger package. They hand people like, hey, this is an internet meme that's going around. They're talking about who's a bad tipper. So then we just go through and read this list of people. It's like one of those like shitty chain emails that you get that you used to get. It doesn't exist anymore. They would pass around. That's what this guy's radio show is. And what the thing is they're using a radio prep service. Yeah. It's very common in radio where you pay for and they send you potential topics for a show. So I'm imagining they get it already anyway. And they're taking the ones that didn't use on radio and they're using it on the podcast So this is their segment about people who are bad tippers

Turns out Bill Cosby was a bad tipper and the guy just cannot help himself. There are so many shitty Dad jokes and Terrible impressions, but this one takes the cake Bill Cosby Really not tipping anybody now. Yeah, that's a piece of shit. You know, just a tip. He wants to tip of my zelo putting pop. I mean, take this pill first. Mark Zuckerberg. Is that the most hack Bill Cosby A impression and B joke possible? I like the other one with the other guy's taking a real stance and saying, oh, what a piece of shit. Like, wow, you're really going out on a limb.

They're taking that stance about Bill Cosby. That's a hot take. Yeah. You mean that serial rapist? Hey, I don't think it's a great guy either. I'm not even worried about how much you tips 12% that's your episode about. I don't mean to have an unpopular opinion, but Bill Cosby. Yeah.

What's the shit? Yikes. A big, ooh, fun Bill Cosby. Yeah, what is it? Yeah, yikes. A big, ooh, fun Bill Cosby. Right after that, then you could tell these guys are hack radio guys, because they just say things that sound pleasing to them, but aren't witty or funny in any single ways. This is talking about Scotty Pippin. Basketball grade Scotty Pippin. Oh, Scott. I'd actually heard stories that Pippin wasn't a bad tipper, but no, no, no, Tippin, Scotty Pippin.

He's getting pretty close to broke. I wonder if Mark Ripon was good at tipping. Imagine if Mark Ripon was good at tipping and Scotty Pippin didn't do tipping. I'd be flipping. That's terrible. By the way, I saw the, I'd be flipping and the second he said Tippin. Yeah. I knew that was coming. Yeah. No, no, you see everything coming from a mile away.

And the one that was on plus it started to cut your off. They're the only me. I listen to this is from I think last week because the one I was to was last week. I should have clipped it out for you. My favorite moment of the whole thing was him making a joke on how Fabio tells him he's good looking. I get shit on for making, you know, outdated references, but for my references. Yeah. I was going to mention that with Mark Ripon. Does anyone know who that is? He played quarterback for

the redskids in the mid 80s. What are we talking about? Mark Ripon? A lot of the, this is what it is. It's like, and again, I have a Jada to always hold me to this, but I make references a lot because I'm 50 that are a little older. And he'll shit on me for that. But obviously these guys are all there to kiss his ass when someone's going to shit on him for making old references. I noticed that when they should be shitting on him, they don't. He's talking about woke culture.

And again, this is just a terrible joke that they should really give him shit for. But you know why can't you say it? I will, because people are our woke. Yeah, yeah. Which is my least favorite word, because I like to be asleep. Well, this dude is fucking corny.

That's a good drop, I don't like it. Michael Ravan Park's always great. What the fuck? This guy goes, I don't like woke That's a good draw. Michael Ramaphore. It's always great. What the fuck? This guy goes out of like woke because I like being asleep. Maybe it just think that and don't say it. Probably about a way to go with that one. I'm going to be honest with you, dude, what it is.

That's a great line. If you're leading into a talk over for autographs, turn up the radio. And it goes right into it. So, you know, that 30-th of a clip where you just do one stupid thing and it goes into a song, it seems a lot funnier. As a guy that did that for fucking 15 years, I understand where he's coming from. He just hasn't transitioned that of it yet. It's so fun to say that we reviewed Todd Pettentingill's new podcast that's behind a paywall.

And I had Eric Nagel on EROC. And he pointed out the same thing. He's like, this guy's always trying to do that, that quick wrap up the conversation into the, uh, stinger. And then it goes right into the song or right into the commercial bed. And they're still doing that, but it doesn't work in this format. That's not what this is anymore. It took me a long time to unlearn that. The term in radio is called hitting the post where you're up to the vocal, and then you try

to end with some kind of stupid line and lean into the song. And it always would seem funnier if it goes right into the song, because they've already moved on to the song. You know what I'm saying? Is that correct? You're kind of an intro concept, but something you're taught when you're doing radio and it doesn't work in podcasting. Yeah, podcasting's almost more like stand up in that way where you say something and it lands and it's heavy and you gotta just sit there with it. It lives. That's the difference. You know, and Jay recently we did a who forgot it who the fuck we were on with but I made some stupid joke that I knew was dumb And then the guy was about to move on and Jay said no Shut up. Let Ralph live in this for a second, you know

Because we I knew the dumb line, but it's a different world with podcasting It's just it's something that you need to unlearn and know when you're a sick, a fanatic person and surround yourself with yes man, you're not gonna be forced to unlearn that. So I have a question for you talking about jokes. I'm gonna play you a joke about Adam and Eve and I need you to explain to me what the joke is, I don't understand it. You don't know what I heard about the Garden of Eden?

What is it? That it wasn't the apple on the tree. It was the pear on the ground. Ha ha ha ha having sex as in P.A.I.R. Okay. So it wasn't the apple on the tree. It was the pair like the pair as in P.A.I.R. Instead of P.A.R. But he's making a holy shit. That sucks. I'm getting that's what I'm getting. I fucking sucks.

I'm going to skip back to the first episode that I asked you to listen to, which was really depressing. What they did was they came out and they told a joke. And then they talked about, I think they're riots had just broken out. And then they talked about how shitty the world is for 20 minutes and then they went back to jokes again.

It was a really weird episode. It was really weird. And it starts off, he's trying to make a joke about the wet markets in China But he doesn't know what he's talking about. I'll explain more after I play this clip And you told me you did wet work. I thought it was Working a wet wet bar. I mean I make bat soup I Work in a wet bar. I make bat soup. I think you met a wet market.

And another deal is what they were talking about. And it wasn't funny even if you had said it right. What's funny is that you said before that these are not so bad because they're 35 minutes long. Yeah. Looked at the time on this thing six times to see when the clock is descending. So, I mean, and it's funny because in podcast and they say, you know, 40 minutes is the golden time limit. That's the best time for a podcast. And so they're right around that, that sweet spot. But fuck, I kept looking like, no, this has got to be, it felt like I was in a time zone because it wasn't going any faster, you know? And let me point this out. These guys do a weekly show that's 35 minutes.

You think about that. If it was a daily show, I'd be like, oh, it's not all gonna be great material. But they have a week to prepare 35 minutes and this is what they come up with. They're not trying. Did you try and go find his radio show? Because I actually tried to find an online link

and I couldn't find one. Oh, no shit. Yeah, because he is on the radio, right? Up in the night. I wrote that in front of him. He mentions the station and that episode, he mentions the call letters and I tried to find a link and I couldn't find one. It's funny. You say that. I think it's W E I I was on the wiki pdf page for this show and I clicked the link to the radio station and I clicked the link to the radio station and I clicked the link to Mikey Adams website and both were broken. Yeah, so I don't know,

maybe that he used to be on the radio. Yeah, someone need a reference to that too. So maybe it's one of these fake internet radios where they're sorry, fake terrestrial radio where they say they're a radio station but it's really like a web stream, you know, it's what it could be. I mean, I looked, I mean, look,

I didn't spend two hours looking, but I looked and I couldn't find any live links to here on radio. And when you're in the entertainment industry, when someone's looking for you, you should be easy to find. I'm just gonna throw it out there. You might wanna ask the old a little bit.

Make sure you're fine. Not to force my show into this, but we just had a Russell Peters on SDR show. Yeah. And half the links on his website didn't work. And this dude's worth millions of dollars. And on air gave him shit for I'm like, dude, your website is blocked. And you have way more money than I do.

Why are you? Why is it fucked? And he's like, oh, we're in the process of trying to fix it and update it. I said, I've known you've been coming on for three weeks. So for three weeks, your site's been broken. Yeah, that's unacceptable. Especially if it's a personal thing. Yeah, that makes no sense.

Money, yeah, his store link doesn't work. It made no sense. Anyway, sorry. I'm not saying that the force beat my show's name into the into the episode. I will talk about your show. I don't you worry about that. We'll get into it.

So the whole point of this episode we listen to is, he's got a joke he wants to tell us. So let's hear that amazing joke. Although I did save one joke. You have a joke? You want it? You want it to start the show or do you want it later? I think you should do that.

Well, yeah, let's get the laugh out of the way. Yeah. Because Lord knows there's only one or two laughs in this show per episode anyway. So let's get the laugh out of the way. Yeah. Cause Lord knows there's only one or two laughs in this show per episode anyway. So let's get it out of the way now. Right. Well, it's not really, it's not even really a joke. It's kind of a, it's a new, it's a dictum.

A dictum. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I just wrote a book. What's the title of the book? It's all about reverse psychology. So don't read it.

That's, that's, I don't know. Well, a child could come up with that. And there's that there's that a whole ton of jokes like, you know, I don't believe in, um, which are premonitions, whatever strange feeling that one day I might, there's like a thousand of those tacky jokes, right. And they all work great. If this was a 10 second fill in radio. Maybe, I don't know about great, but I hear what you're saying. It wouldn't be as noticeable,

but it's also part of the show title. It's like, the show title is like a joke, some serious talk and then some more jokes. So I'm like, all right, this must be a fucking hum digger of a joke, nope. And you think about that he's been waiting for a week to tell our jokes so much work. You know, we need to prop it.

So then they go through all of their nonsense about how the world's falling apart. And then he teases, he's got some more jokes for us being the love in me. It's the Irishman and me is going to come out for a second. It's a close to show. When I'm closing the show, I got a quiz for you. Oh, you saved your jokes. Save your joke. Okay. All right. So they decide decide because like I said, there's a bunch of little segments that go on They're gonna go into a quiz and then he's gonna go back and do the jokes We'll talk about the quiz in a minute. Let's hear these Irish jokes that he has you guys ready to laugh? So when Irishman is struggling to find a park in space, don't you know?

Dear lord, I can't stand this. If you open up a space for me, I swear, I'll give up the Guinness and go to Mass every Sunday. Suddenly the clouds part. The sun shines on an empty parking spot. Without hesitation, the Irishman says, I'll never mind, I found one. Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

Ah, ah, ah, ah. All right, let's hear Iris joke number two since everyone's he to enjoy that one so much Okay, then there's a second joke you have there might stay trooper smells alcohol on the priest's breath He was an Irish priest yeah, and then he sees an empty wine bottle on the floor of the car He says sir have you been drinking? Just water officer says the priest The troop says then why do I smell wine the priest looks at the bottle and says good lord he's done it again there's no

laughs what do you mean I'm not I'll say this though yeah his Irishman is better than his bill Cosby that's a good point I actually believe the Irishman on that live trying to find a to find the silver lining. I appreciate that. This is a guy who's been in radio for decades. And this is what he thinks passes as passable content. And there's this network, CLNS, that actually has him. And I should point this out.

I think this is a sports show. So they're probably having a tough time right now with no sports going on. It's called Planet Mikey and the logo has like a football and a basketball and a baseball. So I'm assuming it's a sports show. And they're actually on a network that has a lot of Boston area sports shows.

And it's so funny because there's another sports show that I think they have a rivalry with. And the guy goes, yeah, I tuned in to see what these assholes were talking about. And you won't believe how bad it is. Where, and I just, I'm just driving in. I said, I'm going to tune in and see what that little shit bag mutt has to say tonight, because he's probably bored out of his mind. And if you thought mutt was boring when there were sports being played. You should hear him now. He sucks. There's

nothing to talk about. And it's, and when there's nothing to talk about and much to the talking, wow, you've made a big mistake clicking 93, seven. No, but seriously, this is a guy who brought the Irish jokes out and before that they did a quiz with the people in the studio using Ben Bailey's cash cab audio to ask the questions. Alright Ben, take it away. Due to their agile thumbs, what pesky ring-tailed scavengers can open garbage cans and turn doorknobs. Oh I know. what is it. It's records. That is correct. Uh, correct. I got six of them in my yard. I get a shit who gives a fuck. How ironic is that? This guy's like, yeah, I tune into people have any idea what the guy is. I'm guessing he's in his late 50s to mid 60s. Yeah, I mean, it's so, I mean, this, I hate that it is, this is me, you know, for all

the tense and purposes, this guy is me. And we just both, I feel that, you know, as much in people may or may not like gas digital or my show, whatever, I saw how to transition a little better than he did. That's all the way I look at it. People love gas digital and you've totally reinvented yourself because you figured out the podcasting's different than a radio. I understand that, but I'm just saying that I got lucky with that and again, it just feel like someone needs to tell this guy, you know, it's a different landscape.

And that's the philosophy of never surrounding some of the people who just agree with you. You know, Luke and I never agree. We argue all the fucking time. And I think that's why the guest is just where it is, is that we force each other to do things a different way. But it just, it cringed every single moment of that show last week and what you're playing this week.

It sounds like hacky 90s, 80s radio. in every single moment of that show last week and what you're playing this week, it sounds like hacky 90s 80s radio. And that's just what it is. And no one said, hey, maybe, you know, we get shit on for that uptime on SDR because we do these little silly contests every once in a while. But to do it every week, week after week, these quizzes and whatnot, it's fucking hard to listen to. It really is. I ever make fun of SDR. I find that hard to believe. Anyway, I'm going to play another example of this. And this is just guys who have always been told that what they say is

witty and funny. They bring up, I don't know, magic beans or something. So they have to make these Jack and the bean stock jokes. There's two jokes in here and the way he explains his second joke is really off putting to people who enjoy comedy i don't know what they are the little seeds they came in a slow container he says

you can't be see you're gonna love what grows and i don't know could be could be marijuana could be a bean stock could be a mean stock that might as my thought you know would not be so the guy named Jack Jack. Yeah. Oh boy. His last name was me off. Jack me off. Nice guy. So if somebody says was a guy named Jack and he go, yeah, his last name was me off,

you can leave that right there. That's fine. I have no problem with that. And then he goes, get the joke. It's Jack me off. Like, yes, we got the joke. It wasn't that hard to piece together. Thank you. This is, I guess this was from last week.

I didn't hear that one before, but boy, it's just, it amazes me if I think I'm hoping and I could be wrong that not a lot of prep goes into these shows. Maybe you want to read me an intern, puts it all together and then just reading off a list. I don't know. I would hate to think that somebody approved the layout.

You know what I'm saying? I know what you mean. Because if they're sitting there and they have a sheet that they're going through and these are the things they prepared, then that's embarrassing. And eight minutes in, I'm gonna hit them with the me off singer.

Hold for a while. So the thing that we haven't talked about, we talked a lot about their shitty jokes. The other reason why this person suggested this show is because they seem to be a little bit like grandpa Simpson, their curmudgians, they don't understand the world around them. This is a perfect example of that.

He's talking about in the grocery store, how people are wearing masks. I don't know if you know those, we're in the middle of a pandemic right now, people are wearing masks. I don't know if you know this, we're in the middle of a pandemic right now. People are wearing masks. And yeah, yeah, there's this thing going. I mean, you're in Manhattan, so you probably don't know about it,

but where we are, there's a pandemic. So he explains that he's not a fan of people wearing masks. The COVID thing. Yeah. Oh, yeah, so, and I see people with masks, and I know I'm wearing one at the same good grocery store I'm wearing one too, but I hate them all yeah, I think there's these creepy people wearing masks You don't know who they are you don't know what they look like and they're all like look they're afraid of germs

This guy is wearing a mask like everyone else. He's like they're all assholes. I'm the one who's out of that so no You're also an asshole. How do you not realize that? I mean, to be honest, I have been getting into fights left and right with people that don't believe that we should wear a mask. So, right. I, it's upsetting to me because that's the same fucking thing. You know, people every day I've gotten into arguments with people that we should be wearing masks.

And I don't know, as you said, he's a 60 something year old white dude. So he's probably someone that just immediately thinks you shouldn't wear a mask. And he's probably the person who should be the most afraid of catching COVID based on his age. But it's just, it's a, it's a crazy time for that. I'm amazed at how many people I have to try and, I'm actually going to make masks on our merch site that says, I know this doesn't work.

I'm wearing it for you because I think that would sell with the amount of people that don't believe in masks. That's a good idea. That's actually a very good idea. Yeah, that's me. I'm the king of marketing. You know what you should do is you should also make sure that link works. So somebody clicks over to the product. It's

there. I can't believe there's not mega masks yet. The fact that those don't exist. It blows my mind. Yeah, that's, I mean, they must exist somewhere, right? I'm going to ask, look, maybe a month ago, they didn't, but I'm going to cafe press page up tomorrow. That's the case. Exactly. Exactly. But I mean, the truth is they just are, but if they were to market the show solely to 60 year old white people, I think they'd be nailing it right now. Yeah. The problem is it's a podcast. That's, that's not the devil. That's downloaded about the shows right now. right now. Yeah, that's the issue. I guess I guess. I guess you know, it works as a quick, if you took this 30 minutes and spaced it

into five minute segments over the course of two hours, yeah, it's actually would probably be considered an entertaining piece of content. Well, if it was into music or to sound clip or whatever, but as a condensed format of a sort of radio show podcast, it just doesn't work. I have a note on here that this reminds me of very typical midday radio. So you're saying that this would work. Now, you understand that there's there's drive time, there's AM, there's drive time PM. There's evenings which are garbage. It's usually just music. And then there's the midday.

And midday radio is the most mundane, boring, just nobody has anything to say. I have an example of that. They're going through all of this terrible news about the riots and then the guy says, but I think there's a glimmer of hope. I'm gonna play this clip. Tell me what the fuck he's trying to communicate, because I can't figure it out. Here's what I think the glimmer of hope. I'm gonna play this clip. Tell me what the fuck he's trying to communicate,

because I can't figure it out. Here's what I think the glimmer of hope is. As bad as things are, I think most people believe in goodness, most people believe. I agree with you. And most people believe in truth, and I think they are truth seekers, especially times like this of high stress,

I want to know exactly what is really going on, and propaganda and bullshit as a way of stinking after a while and you can kind of smell it. But there's something about a glimmer of truth and honesty and just a brother and sisterhood. He just said nothing. Nothing. For some people believe in what they're there, people that only believe in lies like it does. But again, what you said is true in that they are probably a daytime show. Yeah, wherever they exist. And the interesting thing about daytime radio is that you have to be the least, the most mainstream, like you said, mundane and say nothing because those are the, that time is when it's played in like an office or a, a mall or

something like that. And you have to set it up in a way that you don't offend anybody. It's waiting room radio. It's what it is. Yeah, exactly. It does exactly what it is. And you have to be afraid to offend anyone

waiting in your mornings or nighttime, the drive time, it's more personal. And so you can take a little more chances. You can't do that in midday radio. Yeah, you actually want to turn off people because that's what build you the rabbit audience. If you are a drive time radio host, you want to be polarizing. People will you and hate you. It's a point. People believe in truth is the most ass and I statement in the world. There's a liberal hope here Ralph. I think people believe it truth.

Okay. Great. Great. Yeah. That's great news. All right. Let's talk about the fact that they do read sponsorships. So they're monetizing the show somehow.

Well, let me say this before you play it. Yeah. I don't know for sure. So what happens a lot is when I started in in podcasting, Offered radio because I still had my radio show at the time and I offered them reads on my podcast for a few dollars extra So who know what it is it was a way to Upsell my radio show What I'm saying I actually do know what this is I'm happy to report that these guys do not actually have sponsors And I'll tell you why after I play this bit from their bet online read all open 24 hours a day

It's all online bet online your online wadering solution gets your bonus by saying this ZLNS 50 CLNS 50 so their promo code is the network. They're on not their show Which tells me this is a blanketed buy just for everything on the network. So these guys have three listeners. Yeah, it's a network read. That's fine. You know, it's fine. Yeah, by the way, can I ask you a couple of questions, do you mind? Of course. How many, how many, do you get a week?

Like how many people do they ask you to do? Like how do you decide which show to do each week? Oh, I get suggestions that come in in a few different areas. Like how many people they ask you to do? Like how do you decide which show to do each week? Oh, I get suggestions that come in in a few different areas. And I'm looking for things that are intriguing, that are things that maybe we haven't done before. Lately, I've been looking for more shows that are popular, that people might find us because they're looking for that show. But this one specifically, I forward forward you that guy's email.

He was just on top of it, like kept emailing me over and over. I got to do this show. He got to do this show. So like, fine, I'll do this show. Sometimes persistence pays off. I assumed you picked a shitty radio guy because I'm a shitty radio guy. So that's not the, there was no assimilation there. Or was there a little bit of that?

That was not predetermined, but I'm glad it's working out that way. Like you were a pre-plan that's why I don't take offense. Because you know, there are people out there that believe in truth. So I just wanted to do that. All right. I got to play this because this is crazy. And you can ask me more questions. I'm not sure I had to stop that.

They in this bet online read and I have a feeling that in a month or two, I'm gonna love bet online too, but I just wanna make part of this one aspect of this read. Leading the way betonline.ag has the best odds, the best lines, if you will, for the upcoming matches this weekend. Do you need more? Yeah, I was waiting for you to say that.

Betonline has simulated NFL, NFL NBA and UFC happening every day. And you don't know who's going to win those games because it's simulated. They have simulated games on this website. You can bet on simulated sports. Did you know this, Ralph? This is new. I mean, it's not that far different than fucking, uh, what's the other one that everyone loves? The fantasy football. I mean, it's not that far different than fucking what's the other one that everyone loves the fantasy football? I mean, it's basically the same sort of concept, right? No, because fantasy football you watch a real football game and root for your guys to score. You know, I'm leading to your guys specifically, but it's not a real game versus game, but I guess you're right.

I mean, I don't know. People are fucking stressed right now. They book out their play for video. I don't know, people are fucking stressed right now. They need something to be... They booked out their play for video, I don't know. I don't hate on that so much. If you are a crazed sports fan, at least in a betting on sporting events that have already happened, that would be weird. So producer Chris is here at the studio with me and he will acknowledge that I have a motherfucker. He'll acknowledge that I have a sports gambling problem.

I love gambling on sports. I don't want to be a yes, man But yes, and I would never ever do that You're gonna watch a video game Put a little bit of like Put some belly you at your time We do all right. Sorry I When you did it to me I know and I was like a little annoying that it was quote unquote going to be a sports show. Yeah

For a moment there are no sports at the time so because I know nothing I don't follow any sports whatsoever the only sport I sort of follow is as you have seen because You know a couple of the guys are on the network So I kind of got into it, but I don't really follow any sport whatsoever. Yeah I'm a plus. What can I tell you? Well, you know, we're up in the Western New York. So I watch the Buffalo Bills and the Buffalo Sabers.

And sometimes that creeps into the show, but lately not so much. Not so much to talk about. If you have nothing to, if you have a betting addiction in sports, and there's nothing to bet on, are you saying that if you heard about a sporting event that featured your favorite team, but it was virtual, you wouldn't be excited to maybe bet on that? I would not. I would rather play Blackjack or Crap's or poker. I'd rather do something because also how long are these games? Am I watching for three hours of video game to figure out if I want or not? Like just tell me. That's true.

Yeah. That's true. I don't know. I'm not a gambler, so I don't know. I don't get it. But yeah, whatever. And these guys, look, these guys are filling time. What are you going to do?

I can't imagine, you know, right now, any show that's based on sports, you've got to be miserable. And yes, to your discord, I am a Jew and I don't like sports. Correct. I don't don't read the discord. It never works out. All right, sorry. You just popped up a lot. I died. I'm just kidding. Here's the last thing that I want to play from

the show. The guy says, you know what my dad used to always say. And usually there's some wisdom and you go, yeah, you know, my dad really taught me a lesson. He used to say, blah, blah, blah, blah. Listen to this lesson that is set up with my dad used to say. My dad used to say, I must have been 14 or whatever I got in a little trouble. But anyway, he said for what? Just being a smart ass. But first degree smart ass.

He said, if you do anything in your life, if your behavior attracts the attention of the police, especially the negative attention of the police, expect trouble from you. I would be in trouble big time, but that I would be in trouble with the police. If you do something to attract the police, if they have to come and see what the hell you're up to,

you should just expect, oh shit, what have I done? You know, right? That's it. His dance looks like a moron. What kind of lesson is that? The lesson is don't upset the police. Was that was, was that the lesson? He goes, if the police are upset with something you've done, they're upset with you. Okay. It's the same lesson as people believe in truth.

They maybe gave him both. I know. These are the most boring people on the face of the earth. Look, I sympathize. I know it sounds weird to keep saying this because I just like I hear me in these guys. You know, like when you do radio, I did radio for 16 years, 17 years, and you get in still these concepts that you need to be short, you need to be concise, like one break, one thought and end on a some sort of upbeat note, and all these things that

you got to do, they're just still doing it, and no one is telling them not to. Yeah, I understand the first time on this show, you can feel bad about being such a dick and then you get over it. It gets easier. Maybe. I remember the first time I fired someone when I was running a restaurant, it was really difficult. And then by the time I get, it doesn't have a job today. Take a step forward if you have hours tomorrow.

Not so fast, Mark. And then people, I had to have my call people, they're like, oh my god, am I fired? I'm not sure if you're going to get it. I'm not sure if you're going to get it. Take a step forward if you have hours tomorrow. Not so fast, Mark. And then people, I don't have my call people. They're like, oh my god, am I

fine? I'm like, no, I'm just calling to tell you something. Left and right. But yeah sorry. Have you, Donna show where someone gave you, oh, listen to this show and you were like, actually, we fucking love this show. Like we can't shoot this show. Yes, my boy, Michael Rappaport, we reviewed his show and I really fucked with our co-host that day

because they come in here thinking that I'm gonna shoot on whatever it is and they come in already to shoot on my rap shoot on whatever it is. And they come in already to shoot on my grand point. I'm like, what are you guys talking about? This is the funniest show I've ever heard. And he told me to one me over. That's funny. I did what's a salmon gym show with him. And not really ever knowing him before. I was immediately endeared by him. I think he's got the right amount of crazy and the right and smart enough to pull it off. You know what I mean? Like, yes, if you're if you're opinionated

and you can back it up is just a great one, two punch Godfrees, a lot like that, you know, where you can be an asshole and be polarizing, but you can back it up is just a unique, it's a great thing to that. Well, he is so funny, especially back then because he used to have a show with G Moody. And so he's got this DJ out of show and he would start getting up on a ramp, but just drop a beat for me. So it's like smooth jazz, it's an epinex and he's fucking a ranty like a lunatic. It's just fantastic stuff. So how many of you at this point, what number is this? So how many of you at this point, what number is this? 2 11 to 12 to 14. Oh, Chris is 14.

You've liked one show. Now, there's a fit of few I've liked. Actually, there's a show called the Dick show hosted by Dick Masterson. And I liked that show when I heard it. And now he's come on my show and I've gone on his show. There have been a few shows where we've actually formed friendships and partnerships after ripping

out a show and now they co-host with us and stuff like that. So there have been a few. Most of the shows I listen to are terrible though. So do you, but you don't look for terrible. It's just whatever happens. Oh, I look for terrible. It's a way more fun. It's way more fun.

I remember we did my dad wrote a porno and I think that shows all right. And so we reviewed it I was like, yeah, this is kind of fun. You know, they're having fun with that. It's like what else you got to say? It's not as funny. Right, right, right. What about did you do Legion ever know? No, we have not done Legion. I did do What was what's Lewis's other show real last podcast real last podcast because he threatened to rape my girlfriend if I didn't review his show So we did do that one And then he raped her anyway

That was amazing. That was a lot of fun That's cool. Yeah, I like the concept, you know, yeah, you thought it's not a bad idea Well, I'm glad you came on. I want to tell you a quick anecdote. This is kind of funny. So this show gets suggested to me, and I see it around this CLNS Media Network. And it just so happens, I've never talked about this before, but back in November of last year, these guys reached out to me.

I'm gonna read you a quick email. Hey, this is Bubba Blah from CLNS Media. We here at CLNS are big fans of who are these podcasts, and all the work you do. I'm reaching out to inquire if you feel you are maximizing the opportunities for generating revenue for your network. I know you're really pressed for time,

but I do feel a quick conversation would be advantageous to talk audience expansion and monetization, and what CLNS could do for you and your brand, best wishes hope to speak soon. Now, I'm not dumb. I know that they're just popping in, who are these podcasts into a note that they send out to a lot of podcasts. But I don't know why I was so angry at the time. I went on their website and saw it was all Boston sports. And like I said, I'm a bills fan. So I wrote it back. Thanks for the note.

Fuck the Patriots. Fuck Tom Brady. Car. That's such a dick. I don't know. I do that. car. It's such a dick. I don't know. I did that. So he raised this is before you made fun of this show. Obviously. Yeah, I didn't know about this. Yeah, they were searching podcasts and yours came up. I mean, maybe they're fans because he wrote back. He goes fair enough, Carl. If you have any interest in learning more about the network and what we can offer, I've copied our VP who'll be able to provide you with more information and answer any questions you might have. And then he messaged me right away. Hey, would you have any interest in monetizing the pockets? So I don't know if this is something that's more automated or and then they sent me some information and stuff like that. I took a look at, but it's just

so funny because I looked back at this. I'm like, where do I know this from? And I looked through my emails like, why was I such a dick to these people? They're like, come on, our network and make money and go fuck yourself. It's wrong. We're in a Boston network would be reaching out. You know, like there's a tree there. I don't get that. Well, I think that's probably what I thought was I'm like, why would I go on a sports network out of Boston? That doesn't make any sense for what we do.

That's also part of why not to keep going off topic here, but that's why with gas, we purposefully tried to have a little bit of everything. So never know, no one would ever look at the network and go, oh, it's just a comedy network or oh, it's just a sports network. So we've tried to have a couple of shows, one's maybe lifestyle or dating or sports

of some sort of politics to mix it up a little bit so you're not pigeonholed. How many shows do you have on gas now? 24? Jesus. Two dozen shows. That's awesome. Yeah. But I purposely like don't want to bring on any more shows. I never wanted to go past 20, but sometimes an opportunity comes you can't say no to or something

that feels right or whatever. But we grew a little bit. But I think we shouldn't have like the most 25 is way too much. You know, it's like I think every show needs to get attention. And every show needs to get attention and every show need to be promoted and every show needs to grow and it gets harder and harder to do if you're a network that has 50 shows. Well, okay, I was going to ask you because that's a good point, but it's all about quality and if you can get 50 quality shows, why wouldn't you, you know, it's not about training as many as possible, but no, that's a good point. Yeah, I think that you get lost in the shuffle.

And then what happens is let's say you have, unless you, I look, yeah, if you had 50 shows that had a million listeners per episode, sure, but I don't see that happening, you know, so the question is then if you're just bringing on big shows and then shitting on, you know, forgetting about your small shows, then what are you doing? You know, like it doesn't make sense. I don't know. It's a question of finding that balance. And not every show is gonna be as big as a show

that has a half a million or a million listeners. Well, I have some stuff to get into with you. But first, I do want to say that support for who are these podcasts is brought to my manscaped, who was the best in men's blow, the belt grooming, man's escaped offers precision engineered tools for your family jewels. They obsessed over their technology developments to provide you with the best tools for your grooming experience.

Guys, I know you've heard about man's escape. There aren't a lot of different podcasts. You've probably thought about it. I'm telling you, now's the time to do it. I used this for the first time this week. I used it in the shower, so there's no cleanup involved. And so you can use it in the shower. So there's no clean-up involved.

brand new lawnmower 3.0. Use it in the shower. It's got an LED light on it. So you can see every nook and cranny of what you're getting into. My balls have never been more hairless. Well, okay, that's not true. But you know what I mean? It's been a while. It's been a very long time since they've been this hairless. And you know, crazy Jay used to use a razor. Oh, the actual razor on his balls. He would stretch out the skin and like shave it. I was like, dude, are you fucking insane?

That's what you said a bit about that. Like he's in the gym and the guy just couldn't be more non-plus to shape it as balls. Like that's scary shit, man. Yeah. Fuck's doing that. You're putting a razor down. They use the fucking man's capes.

It makes life so much easier. Oh, it's, it actually is fantastic. It works extremely well. I want to ask you, have you ever gone down in the girl who didn't shave or wax before a Ralph? Well, you know, first of all, I'm old. So back in the day, it was very common to not to let it go. You know, now so not so much of those coming back.

Jay only wants girls with full bush. Oh, well, that's a little weird. See, I don't, I don't think it's bad, but I find it a little bit rude. You know, it's almost like when you go over to somebody's house, they didn't prepare any snacks for you. Like, you didn't know I was going be here. What what what's that about? Oh, I'm saying is we should be doing the same thing in return, right?

That's the important thing. All right. Well, I got to talk to you about this. I'm so excited to have you on the show because what happened was about a year ago, we were listening to OP radio, which we tend to do a lot.

And OP had Lewis Jay Gomez on the show. And it's OP with the late great Carl Ruiz. They're talking to Lewis and Lewis brings them to the gas digital studios. Do you remember this? Yeah, I mean, I was there. I was I walked out and saw them outside. They were like, better if you've, if you've seen the guest, they're like an outdoor area. And I guess it was like spring or summer or something. So I was inside recording something. I don't remember what. And when I walked out, Opie was recording with Lewis. Yeah. So Opie's walker of the zoom. I'm going to play you a clip that I played a year ago on our show. And this is you showing him around the studio. These are two work stations with the Philadelphia, and anything you do, the editing, all the

wires are hidden everywhere behind the walls, everything's hidden so that- This is starting to get boring for the podcast, but it's amazing. You guys got amazing setup. That was the most rude thing. Opie does nothing but bore the shit out of people, walking around the Zoom recorder and like anything out. He was at Mike Buschetti's house,

walking up the stairs while a dog was barking, didn't edit it out of the show. You're showing him an amazing studio and he goes, this is getting boring. He's like, well, I didn't tell you to podcast during this. show you're showing him an amazing studio and he goes this is getting boring It's like well, I didn't tell you to podcast during this. I was just showing you around my studio Because I didn't even realize they were still recording right like this isn't part of your show I was just showing you I was being nice to take some time out to show you what we have going out over here Exactly, I remember that because actually I think that the guy that was with him. What was his name? What's his name?

I'm sorry the guy who is had asked about it. And I didn't say he came in at one point and whatever it was, I forgot, but they, they wanted me to show them around. So I said, all right. And I, you could tell by the audio that the mic is far away from us because it's echoey. And I did not realize that they were still recording. So I was just fucking showing them the studio. I remember that. That's funny. And actually, to be honest with you, until you played it at this moment,

I didn't realize I was even on the fucking show. And this is going to be really funny for you. They leave the studios. And now it's Carl and OP on the street looking for an Uber to get back to wherever they're going. And Carl Ruiz, who's been podcasting Opie for two years straight with his shitty zoom recorder walking around says this after seeing your guys awesome setup. I was embarrassed. Why? Because we're walking around with this dialysis machine and he's

got this whole thing going on. Yeah, but we do it different. So Carl Ruey's is like, holy shit. These guys have a real, this is what real podcast they guys, these guys, Lewis and Ralph have built a real multiple studios. They have a network. They have all these shows. And OP is like, ah, I don't know, man, we do things differently. However, this is what I couldn't wait to talk to you about, Ralph. There is a tweet that OP sat out about a year ago over to Lewis, and it says this, serious question, would you be up for me buying a huge chunk of gas digital? I honestly see potential with your network, but it needs some tweaking and just a couple

more hit shows. Ralph, were you ever in discussions with Opie about him coming on as a partner? I mean, not me. Like I can't speak for Lewis because I don't know. He like we get a lot of people offering to buy pieces of gas or asking to meet with us on a somewhat regular basis because podcasting obviously is very hot topic right now. Right. So if you have some money to spend and you want to be in the entertainment space and you look around, maybe you see gas as one of the shows, one of the networks potentially invested. So I get emails like that a lot. So does Lewis. I don't bring

shit to Lewis for us to sit down and have a talk unless I think it's going to be something worth really sitting down a talk with. And I think he Lewis does the same for me because we both have crazy schedules and why are we going to bother each other unless it's something we're taking seriously. So what you just said is Lewis would never even consider working with OP. So he didn't even bring it to my attention. I mean, that's one way to look at it. But what I mean, like is maybe it never got to anything more than a tweet. You know what I mean? I don't know.

I can't speak. Maybe they talked about it and they were on opposite wavelengths of what they wanted. I don't, I can't speak for Lewis. So maybe they did a conversation and Lewis just said, oh, yeah, this is not going to work. I don't, I don't know what's such a, it's such a pompous tweet to send out. It's not even a D. I know it sends it out. I don't want to see it. And he's like, it's out. He keeps saying it to solely just kind of like Be ridiculous, you know, I don't think he was saying it that doesn't sound like a serious tweet to me in my opinion I think you were saying it to just kind of be OP, you know what I mean? It's weird that he prefaced it with serious question then oh

Maybe maybe I don't know It's funny again. I know even I never heard that before either like I don't really I don't know. It's funny again, I never heard that before either. Like I don't really, I don't, I think I might follow OP, but I'm never on, never on Twitter, but I don't even, I never even heard that tweet. You know, you think that would have been brought to me. You would think so, I know. I mean, I talk about OP last,

so that was brought to my attention right away, but maybe that's not part of your world. I mean, you can't speak of like the people I can relate to. I relate to OP in that I'm the OP of SDR show, you know, and J's the Anthony for lack of a better word. J's the really funny one. And I'm the guy that's driving the ship, so to speak, you know, so I get the dynamic. I understand it.

And I think that evidence has shown, and you could see that over and over again, that they needed each other. They were both bigger together than they are independently. There's no denying that, you know, so there's something to be said about that Yin and Yang of opian Anthony. So I definitely get it and get what it's like to be the opi, the one who doesn't get the credit because they're not funny. You know what I'm saying? You know what else? OP needs besides Anthony. He needs a studio more famous ones was Steve the Whistler did a mosquito just bite my nose hold on a minute I'm like God I got bit on the side of my nose

And now I got bit of my hip the side of my nose. And now I got in my hip. Oh my god, I got. Yeah, I got well all over my body. I hope you're enjoying this. Is he still doing his podcast? Sure is. This is the brand new one that I'm playing for you right now. Yeah, it's all I mean, also, I'm

going to say, um, another thing I get is having he did radio, he far more successfully than I did. I mean, my show might have been on about 90 stations at one point, but nowhere as big as Open Anthony everyone. Nothing to see that though, my friend. That's very impressive. We were weekends, there weekdays, and you know, whatever. But I get wanting to do a 180 of what you were going through, you know, but he's trying to be

complete. He's trying to be completely off the cuff and thinks that everyone will still follow him. I don't know what kind of listenership he has. I have no idea, but I get why he's wanting to do it that way now. I do understand. Again, I relate to OP. I do feel the one that's one of the nicest thing Bobby Kelly ever said to me was that you remind me of him. I do feel the one that's one of the nicest thing Bobby Kelly ever said to me was that you remind me of him. I hate saying this. He said it on the air so I could say it anyway that you remind me of him, but you're funnier. And that made me really happy, you know, because I worshiped him. I think we all did. You wouldn't be talking about them today. Of course. If you didn't love them. Yeah. So it's very true. The first thing I said

is the only time being a Howard Stern fan my whole life as well And Howard's reason why I got into radio, but opening Anthony was the only time my life I stayed in the car to wait for a bit to end never happened before my life And they are the ones that did that to me and I was the first Whip him out Wednesday on air call. I was the first person to call in That's impressive. I had no idea. I knew about your call into Howard Stern and how you got started on that. I've heard that call.

But I was running my radio show and I was on my way to the event and I thought it would be a great last-minute promotion because it was a Wednesday night. We were doing a live concert with a band from the 80s and I said they were starting to swoop them out Wednesday. I said, I'm going to call and say that I got a girl show me her dits. So they'll put me on the air. And I said, I love the way that that concert in whatever. And I just got my

a girl show me her tits. And they played it on the air. Smart. See, you're a market a guy like that, Ralph. You understand how this works. So you said that Opie's trying to reinvent himself and try new things. I don't want to shit on your point. But what he just put out recently as a brand new Opie radio episode was an Opie and Anthony bit, which I guarantee he does not have the rights to. I doubt Anthony and Jim have signed off permission for him to put that on his podcast stream. But this is more in the recent episode of him reliving past moments of his life.

He's talking about one time he did something really funny on OP&A Anthony. I remember Kristen Bell called the radio show to promote a movie and we were in the middle of just a really, really good radio show. This was one we were at, series XM. So I just quickly asked her if she was I don't know, excited about the movie or whatever. And then I quickly went okay great and hung up on her.

The interview was literally 10 seconds long and it got one of the biggest laughs ever on the radio show. We had a live studio audience. Everyone enjoyed the hell out of that. Now, don't we do the explain what happened, but then he played the audio of it right after explaining what happened just to prove how funny he once was 18 years ago. I mean, I do think a behind the scenes look at classic bits would be a good segment for his show. Well, honestly, if that's what the topic was, I would be more interested in that probably then. Right.

Yeah, I mean, I'll contact them saying, I would love, I'm sure, let's put it this way. And I'm sorry to play devil's advocate here. I know I'm supposed to be more mean. I get it. No, it's fun. If you had an opportunity like let's say ONA said to you, we're gonna start a show once a week where we take three of our bits that we loved and talk about what was going on the studio of that bit. I would fucking love to hear that. I would do what's happening though is not that. It's just always say, do you remember that time I was funny and then playing the time that I was funny?

I agree with you. I agree with you. And by the way, you don't have to come on here and agree with me. That's not a good podcast either. I like you to push back a little bit. Yeah, I just because again, and it's funny. So I also, by the way, met ONA when they were the hugest thing

on 1027. I was doing a live show at what is it? House of Blues? Never was the House of Blues. That doesn't exist anymore. On one side, and they were doing their show on the other side, I was hosting a hilariously a winger concert, and they were doing a radio show on the other side. And I went to and I would just we just had a nice talk and actually, Opie was the nicer one at the time

and then he was kind of weird. And then years later, I feel like they flipped a little bit. Yeah, I think that's probably true. And I'm glad that you said that because it actually sets up, it's a nice segue to my next package that I want to play. Opie has this podcast out about, I think the title of it is I'm going to get my gun.

And he tells the story, which is odd because usually when you tell a story, you're the hero of the story, he's the villain of the story, he's an asshole. He's talking about, he's on the beach, he lives on the beach. He's on the beach, and there are some people there who aren't practicing social distancing, and he gets very annoyed with them.

Here's the setup. So these people walk in right by me two, three feet away, and I just go, two clothes. And the guy goes, excuse me, I go two clothes. So I go, I'm taking the coronavirus very seriously. And the guy goes, then why are you on a public beach? And I go, because I live here, you idiot. Ha, ha, ha.

Guy, you know what's funny is that he sounds like the guy that we were making fun of on the podcast. Yes! Those guys would get along pretty well. It sounds like an old radio guy that doesn't want to assimilate to the new world. That's what it sounds like. So guess what? After he tells these people that they're in his space and he's taking the coronavirus

very seriously, he sees that they're kind of eyeballing him and they're looking over at him and his wife and his kids and they're giving them the hairy eyeball. So it'll be decided to get up and do something about it. But I saw this whole fucking thing, so I jumped up and I run over to him. I'm like, is there a problem? Is there a problem? And the guy's like, it's too close. Too close, he's mocking me, right? I go, none of you guys are tough guys.

None of you. So, knock off the tough guy act. And next thing, you know, they're looking at me in shock, right? And I'm like, what can I do? know I mostly you guys know I'm kind of an asshole so I go I'll be right back and I start walking away you know I start walking toward the houses they go where you going you know like I'm leaving the situation you know after telling them the tough guy actors to work it I go I'm going to get my gun

I mean it's just hard to thank you it's so ridiculous it's the guys podcast I feel like is he doing that alone? Is he with anyone? These shows mostly are alone. He does have guests on from time to time. But what he's doing is he's doing like a YouTube or Instagram live chat thing. So it's often just interacting,

like you were doing in the Discord, he's just interacting with people who are commenting as he's going. Yeah, and by the way, speaking of which in your discord, I have listened to the show before. Sorry, continuing. Oh, good. Yeah. Because I'm never have. I have several times. A lot of it. But anyway, thank you. Yeah. I know I, I, it's a weird because again, I get it. You know, he's trying to figure out what's next. You know, even though we have more money than we ever would need, you know, he definitely is sitting pretty financially. If you are someone who wants to be in the space and don't understand it, you're just trying to figure

out something that works. That's all. He's been trying to figure that out for a while. Yeah. I mean, like, didn't he get, didn't the show get dropped from the network? He was on. Isn't that right? Correct. He was hired by Westwood one, which is why he started a podcast. That lasted about a year and now he's on his own, which actually brings me to my next clip. I only have a couple more things to play on. Oh, man, I won't torture you much longer. I don't mind at all. Oh, good. Okay. I'm glad to hear because I actually just a little bit behind the scenes.

I reached out to Ralph and said, listen, I know you know, Opie. You've been on set or in John's show. We don't have to talk about these people because when people actually have relationships I don't know either. I want to burn bridges, but you were really cool. I can't know this People's side just a scene that we can go ahead and have a friend a chair. I would never I take you know I a lot of times I've met a shit ton of people in my life. Yeah, but I would very barely say I'm friendly with either met stuttering John once very rarely say, I'm friendly with it. I met Stuttering John once, you know, I met OP once. I don't, they're in being endeared by me or whatever, me like, it means nothing to me.

I don't, it's not going to affect my life in any way, no offense. Chris, I like this guy. This guy works out well for WTF. Well, I mean, I'm just speaking as honestly as possible. I'm not, I would never shit on someone, I'm just speaking as honestly as possible. I'm not. I would never shit on someone. I get the shit to the show, but I would never shit on someone just to shit on someone. If I don't like it,

I'm going to look that last clip was hard to listen to. You know, and also I've never known OP to be a tough guy. Am I wrong? That in no. I always thought Anthony was the wack to do whenever things happen. I get wrong. Yeah, when it comes to gunplay, that's Anthony's realm. I've never heard O.P. say I'm gonna get my gun before it.

Ever. And I've never known in my life, I don't remember O.P. if it getting into fights, this fights in my knowledge. I don't remember, but maybe I don't, you know, wasn't a religious list, nobody was a big fan, but it just seemed so weird. Again, it feels like I see this guy just trying to figure this out on the beach is how I figured the only flight I know about that Oby is talked about is he was playing basketball

with his buddies and dropped the end word and got his ass beat for it. Oh, that's a funny one. Okay. So I have a question for you on this one because he's talking about how he has to pay for his bandwidth and he needs people to support his sponsors. And because you run a network with 24 shows on it, I have a feeling you're gonna have some knowledge on this.

Let me put it in the clear, and then we'll chat. I'm not gonna lie to you, man. It's getting tougher and tougher to keep this free because the bandwidth has just crushed me. I got to advertise this. I the bandwidth has just crushed me. I got to advertise this. I'm trying to, I'm trying to cover the bandwidth. I don't really need to make a lot of money, but I don't want to watch thousands of dollars going away every month. He says that he's spending thousands of dollars a month on bandwidth. He's using a provider called Omni.fm, OMNY.fm. I went on the website to look at their pricing

because I pay 32 dollars a month for Libsyn to syndicate my show. That's what I pay for bandwidth. This says that you get a terabyte at $29 a month. He's claiming that he spends thousands of dollars a month on bandwidth and Ralph, you would know better than anyone. How is that possible? Well, I can tell you, so again, as I said, I don't know a setup. If he's doing what we're doing, which is to have all your audio and video behind a paywall, that you're privately hosting, so that YouTube can't tell you what you can and cannot air is what gas digital does or we pay for our own hosting service for audio and video that's a private

feed, right? That is thousands of dollars a month, especially if it's video. All right. Can I stop you right there? There is nobody. Okay. And so if it's just audio is he he, and he doesn't have a paywall? There's no, there's no paywall. And it's just audio. Yeah. So then either he's doing something really wrong. Yeah. Yeah.

Flying. It's one of the other. Yes. Thank you. Stupider liar. I thought the same thing. I'm like, this guy is the dumbest person getting ripped off by this hosting service or he just like, He could be doing it completely incorrectly.

You know, that's possible. It's possible, you know, because you can get, like, let's say, because we were on a hosting company for a while and the hosting, just for just the website, you know, all the media is stored on a media site, but all the website was getting so much traffic that the website started costing a crazy amount of money a month, right?

And so that wasn't for the audio, for the media, just to be the visitors on the website started costing a crazy amount of money a month, right? And so that wasn't even for the audience, for the media, just to be the visitors on the website. But then you go to a site that gives you unlimited bandwidth, and that's just a few hundred dollars a month. Right. And I don't imagine that's even the scenario he's doing. I don't know if he has a website. I don't know. But if it's just for the podcast, you'd have to go out of your way to spend thousands

of dollars a month. You'd have to figure out a way. It's not possible. Right. Yeah. It would be difficult to spend a lot of money on for a poll. If you're just, yeah, that especially is not behind a paywall and if you're behind a paywall, use fucking Patreon. Of course, you know, thing. So I don't, I don't know how you could go about. I'm not saying he's not doing it. I just would, would really here love to hear how he's doing it. If he's spending thousands of months, because he's not doing it. I just would really love to hear how he's doing it

if he's spending thousands of months because he's making a mistake. All right, I gotta keep this running. I'm gonna play, the last thing I wanna play for OP. He did a show with this guy named Wheels. Wheels is out of our hometown Rochester. He works on Brother Wies' show. And Wheels is a guy in a wheelchair who has a podcast.

He got OP on, it's a big get for him. Of course, OP puts this out as his podcast as well for some reason. And the sound quality is not great, whatever. I'm not gonna pick on that. But this is the question that came in from wheels. He wants to know about Carl Ruiz. You have any good chef Carl stories

that you could tell us? All right, so the question is any good stories that Carl Ruiz, anyone who listened to this show knows this was a character. He lived a lifestyle that was ridiculous. You know, he's owned restaurants. He's on television. He's divorced. He's banging random strangers all sorts of things going on.

He's something a fun guy environment. OP is given this just tell me something interesting about Carly's OP's answer is hysterical. It tells you so much about OP's makeup He makes it about him. He tells a story about them in Nantucket because they did this show in Nantucket early on and in Nantucket because they did this show in Nantucket early on and explains how he made Carl laugh. He decided we all needed Nantucket hoodies and we went into a store and he begged me outside the store not to carry on and make a scene and I'm like, God Carl, of course I will. And then of course as I got into the place, I just started announcing that we

were there and taking over the store and just being loud and obnoxious and And Carl was laughing his ass off to the point he couldn't breathe But he also was so uncomfortable and so embarrassed and he just wanted us out of the store and he He quickly bought everyone's hoodies and and and dragged me out of there. So that was in the moments I cherish The test when he's laughing at my jokes. That's what I remember about Carmel. He's he really loved my jokes. It definitely goes to, I mean, every clip you've played is that is that you know, someone again, not to keep putting it on me, but understanding that there are people that are going to be funnier than you put those people in front and center.

Like Lewis is a far better promoter than I am. So it's better to have him be the face of gas digital than me. I don't want to be on Instagram every day. He loves it. So finding the people that are better at other things is where you bring it, but then don't get jealous when they are the more famous person, but he seems to hold on to the fact that he feels he never got the credit he deserves.

Yeah. I think you just summed it up perfectly. When you have confidence in your ability and what you're good at, and I'm hearing that with you, Ralph, like you know what your role is, you're confident in what you can do, and you let other people take care of the shit you're not good at. Right. A hundred percent. Someone told me that a long time ago, the one of the few people in my life I met that was a billionaire

said to me the day that his life changed was when he realized that he should just put people that know things better than him in those positions. And it stuck with me, you know, and it's funny is that, you know, most people, if you're a fan of gas digital think that I just gave Lewis money and said, do what you want to do, right?

And I don't care that that's the fucking Narrative if that's what they want to believe let them believe that I know my value to the company and it's fine But if they want to think that let them think that well, I think you just set the record straight My friend. Yes, maybe I'm lying. Who knows? Maybe it is all Speaking of people who always make it about them Gageye Stuttering John Melendez. There's a lot going on in the world of Stuttering John right now. And I know that you were on the show and I gave you grief for it Ralph, but yeah, you just said I'll just do it. Can I tell you what made me laugh about it is that it

was literally the only tweet I got about being on the show. We're making like, you can do it. You can get a lot of buzz from that. They usually get one or two. You know, the only thing I got was you shitting on it. That's the only one that came in. That's a stereotype. Oh, this court I do have self-esteem issues. Continue.

Yeah, I saw that. Jesus, can't win with these people. So he's got this guy on this guy named L who it runs a comedy club in Manhattan. And L brings up the monsters because he's telling a story about high pitch Eric. And of course, Sudden John has to make it about him. Do you remember that episode? Um, do you remember the monsters when we were young at a TV show, the monster? I love it.

It comes on still over here. Fred Wim was my best interview and it truly it's with Howard's favorite interview. I have a friend when was such a good sport. The guy just wanted to tell us stories like remember the monsters. There's a scene in the monster and blah, blah, blah. After he goes through his whole story,

John has to go, yeah, did you know that I interviewed Fred Gwyn and there was Howard's favorite interview that I did? Like, okay. He's the guest that you're showing, Dobby. I've met a few Howard Stern people over the years. I never met Howard, but I've met a few of the Howard Stern people over the years. And people that have been but I've met a few of the Howard Stern people over the years and

people that have been subsequently not a part of the show anymore. Right. It is bizarre to me how they still want to always be somehow related to Howard. They still be just horrible. Yeah, and they, but not only is approval, like they're still talking about moments of the show as their idea. He's stuttering John from the Howard Stern show. You know what I mean?

The fact that he even still calls himself Stuttering John, which was coined by by Stern. You know, like I don't understand, if you're still associated with him, if he still have a good relationship with him, I get it. But to be off the air 20 years, how many years you not been on the show? I don't know.

It's close to that. Yeah, it's been a long time. I don't get it. Like I feel that at this point, you yourself should no longer want to be associated with it and make your own mark. You know, he's doing stand up. He's been in some movies. He does put

out a record. Whatever it is, that's how you identify it. It's just weird to me. I don't like I don't still call myself from towards my radio, even though it was a much bigger show than the SDR was, you know, but SDR is because that's not who I am anymore. And I just don't think it's weird. The reason is he's trying to, but it's not working. And so that's why he keeps following back to his glory days. You were on the show back when he had his attorney, Vinnie, as the co-host

and I believe, I don't think Vinnie was on while you were on. I back when he had his attorney, Vinny, as the co-host and I believe, I don't think Vinny was on while you were on. I think you got off and then Vinny came on. Yeah, because I'm, he was having some, what you could hear in that clip. He's has audio issues. Yeah. There's a lot audio. Should I have an example of that too?

Yeah, I could hear it right there. It sounded awful. But he explains that. So this guy Vinny came on after you did your guest spot and Vinnie starts making fun of him like Oh, I love how you guys are talking about how many girls you bang like what are you fucking like children when we talking about and Everyone was saying at the time like John. What are you doing this Vinnie guy's trolling you and just like nah Vinnie's a cool guy. He's my friend. He's my buddy And he used to threaten to sue me all the time

It's like my attorney in New York Vinnie, you know, we're talking about this car, oh guy, we're gonna take care of it. He finally admits that Vinnie was a troll, trolling him on his own show. Animal Crossing said John it's Vinnie doing, oh, this is funny too, because the guy who's asking him the question about it in his chat room is Animal Crossing, which is the name of Patrick Michael,

which is another guy that we make fun of on this shot anyway. Animal Crossing said, John, it's Vinnie doing this. You never got attacked before Vinnie came along. It was just, it was just, I used to have a lawyer do the show. And he would troll me on my own show. You know, so yeah.

I love this because what this means and, and well, if you've been saying this a lot, I'm just going to be honest. I'm just going to tell you the truth. Stuttering John cannot be honest. And it's obvious because when you say, yeah, all this shit that saying this a lot, I'm just gonna be honest, I'm just gonna tell you the truth. Stuttering John cannot be honest, and it's obvious, because when you say, yeah, all this shit that I said a year ago,

I was lying. Well, then why would I think that what you're saying now is true when you admit that you're lying that? So he was lying that the guy was his troll or did he find out afterwards? He might have found out afterwards. It's a good fight. Again, stupider liar.

You're right. I just find it. I'm not asking. I mean, actually, I would say, like, he was super nice to me. That was my, I had only, and I, you mentioned this as I know when I was on, the one time I was on Howard, he answered the phone. I think you brought that up.

He's a call screener. I recognize his voice at the time. But he was super nice to me. So I have nothing negative. I don't know. Again, I understand how much Howard affected everybody. So I understand the desire to keep that whole torch alive. But it just seems so disassociated with this at this point.

It's hard to relate to any of it. If that makes any sense. No, I understand. So he's doing this political show now and he's got this guy, Noel, who's the co-host of the show. And they do this, I think twice are we Tuesdays and Thursdays?

He has a political show that bash his Trump and then on Sundays, he has Tammy Paschitalion or whoever and they try to do comedy. So Noel is no more. He is Dunzo and John talked about that. No, no, did not. There's no problem with no and I. There's no drama that you're all going to want to think and speculate on.

So he starts off by saying there's no drama. Like, well, who said there was drama? He's not going to do the show anymore. What is he assuming? What's that? Did someone ask him, was there drama? He just decided to volunteer that information. Well, he goes back to it later on in the show. So you tell me, listen to what he says here. And again, I've already established that he's a liar. And when you say I'm telling the truth,

I'm not lying over and over again, I get suspicious. Anyway, so no had to move last Thursday. That's, that's the truth, I'm not lying over and over again, I get suspicious. Anyway, so no had to move last Thursday. That's, that's the truth. He's moving out of Manhattan. He's upstate. I'm not going to say where and he literally had to, you know, you know, he had to move. There was no big, no drama here. None at all. So no one I, you know, talked and texted or whatever, and he said it's okay to talk about. No, he was writing a book,

and his wife wants him, and his trying to inspire him to write this book. No, and I was texting back and forth, and he said that he would love to do this show, but he wants to take a break for July and August to focus on his book. And I think his book is going to be a very important book to get out there. It's exposing the dope. Howard Howard node is wrong and I'm like, look, you're my best co-host ever. You know, come back as soon as you're ready. You know, and so he said he's gonna miss it.

He loves it. He'll be back in September. So we got to deal with the rest of July and August without no. All right, first off. You're not handled that audio. That's terrible. First off, this idea that he has to leave my show because his wife's making him write a book is insane. This is like, this is an adult man we're talking about.

His wife told me he's got to focus on the book so he can't do the show anymore. That right there sounds like a premise that I'm not buying. Secondly, he goes, it's just in July and August, he'll be back in September. What was that site bet online, dot AG, can I take a wager? I would put $10,000 out.

I know why $10,000 to say, no, will not be back in September. Anyone who wants to take that bet with me, let's do it. And it's also funny. It's like when someone tells you over and over again, that they're funny or someone tells you that they're not racist. You know that. So if someone keeps telling you there was no drama and I'm not like anyone's asking it just if he keeps referring to it, maybe there was drama. Yeah. I have a feeling since that word is 40 ground in his head

that there was some drama plus the fact that, and I don't wanna get too excited because I don't care that much, but plus the fact that no longer likes any of John's tweets and it just seems like they had a following out, which would make a lot more sense. Is he entering John directly or no? I'm sorry, say it again. Have you ever met him

instead of entering John directly? No. He's only threatened to break my legs and sue me. I've never talked to him directly. Okay, that's fun. That's cute. It's good stuff. All right, I have a fun clip out here.

He starts his show off and every single person who was supposed to be on the show with him canceled. And he goes through the list of people that he tried to get to do the show. I'm surprised you didn't get a phone call, Ralph. He goes pretty deep with this. I guess Mike Bischetti was supposed to be on the show and he canceled and then Tammy Pasquatali had a migraine,

which is great. I'm washing my hair, I have a migraine, or so I don't know, it's something, I can't do it. This is fun. So now I'm like, okay. So I call Monique from radio. Well, she never picks up the phone. Although she says she was gonna call me today, whatever.

So now I don't have Monique. I can't get on, I can't get Steve Gorilla on. I already, you know, Tammy's not coming on. Both Shetty canceled on me. What am I gonna do? I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna continue to do his show. Because that's the kind of professional I am. And I have a guest on unless he can't tell zombie the great Al Martin

The great Al Martin who These days he's trying to get the co-host from radio. God God that's who arm is even arms like a John I'm busy I Cannot listen to that audio. The audio is so bad. I don't understand. Listen to this part of the show. Ralph, this goes on for over three minutes.

I don't know what to show. I can't wait to talk to the county comment. Because really, let's face it, we are going to get to the world. Just like Greg O'Reary said, really. Oh God. Basically. You're playing the ring over your head. If we don't come out, it's wrong. I can't listen to it. I know. I know. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm a staff it. Because also I'm an audio

file. Like I just someone who really cares about sound quality. And I just think with a podcast, that is the number one reason why people would tune out. And it's odd to me with his background in radio, why he would even put that out. It's so bad. That is the surprising part. He's so bad at the audio production side of this

and his background is in radio. I don't know, I actually was talking to Iraq again. He goes, it's amazing how many people who are involved in radio have no idea how it's actually recorded and the production side of things. I guess he would know by than anyone, but it's shocking. And it's also, by the way, it ain't that hard. Buy a fucking microphone. There's your ant. They're buy a $30 microphone and you're not going to have that problem anymore. I'm not going to carve it out of that. It's like we're like four years to invest in good equipment. I would even like okay, so there is a standard cheapo through our mic for estimate 38 or something

it's called. And that is good enough, you know, it is good enough to the average person. You don't need to go anything. We have the SMBs, the ones that are like 400 each, that you don't need that. There's no reason for it. But for the average person, just get a good mic, clean into your computer, and hit record, and that's all that matters. Well, the other problem that John has,

because he's doing these YouTube shows, he doesn't pay for internet. He uses his neighbor's Wi-Fi. So that's another issue that you're gonna have with quality when that happens. Right, but if you recording locally, at least in post production, you could fucking clean it up. And Animal Crossing is right because I heard this part of the show. He has a microphone that he uses. And at one point, all of the guests are louder than him. And he doesn't know how to work the levels on anything. So he goes, all right,

fuck, I'm just going to use the microphone in my laptop and just just takes his is Mike out and just starts using that like, Chad, you're going in the wrong direction. That, that, I mean, like, I don't mind shitting on that at all because that's just you should fucking know better, you know, that I mean, or, and if you don't know better, he had audio problems with me. I don't know how long ago we, I did the show five months ago. Six months ago. There's a year ago. Here year ago, Jesus Christ, your COVID makes me forget everything. But I think I think I was. I don't like it. Well, it's been a year that you've had audio problem.

You know, and it's been more than that. Yes. But I think so at least a year. So just if you have to get someone to get get a fan to come in and fix your fucking audio. That's the problem right there. Get a fan. I mean, step one's gonna be tough. Oh, but he does have ads, which is great. He doesn't ad read. I didn't want to spoil the joke here. I'm just gonna play it for you. This is unbelievable. There we have, and then we just have one more sponsor today. And that is my good good buddy Craig Phelps. If you're

looking to buy a place in Woodland Hills or anywhere around it, check out this house, 14647, Kanoga Avenue. It's a beautiful place. Hold on, this is the wrong link. Hold on. He is promoting a specific house and a specific neighborhood. I just podcast. What kind of CPM rate could he get to that? You think they're paying the $25 CPM for that one? So highly specific. That's crazy. That's, I mean, good for him. If he gets someone to perform, it's funny. They're like, one time on a ship rock to they lost the couple of major sponsors when you're forgot why and one of the sponsors was like a local lawyer I was like, oh my cuz you this guy that's so crazy, but I mean like you take what you can get What am I gonna say but it is you can get this is him on this ad read still he starts playing a YouTube video

You you're gonna be upset about this because the audio is just terrible The YouTube video steps all over his audio and also listen to the the specs on this house and let's just check out this beautiful house I've been here. I'm drunk there with my buddy Craig Okay, look at it 46 47 canoga. I, Woodland Hills, California. What a beautiful place. Come on. And listen to that groovy music. Right next to the Woodland Hills, golf course right on the 7th floor. You actually walk right onto the course and there's a bar right there. It's located right next to Calabastas. You have great school district. You have plenty of outdoor areas. You have five bedrooms including

that in quarters. Is there any chance that he made that clip solely because he knew you were going to make fun of him? No, he's not smart enough to do that. Okay, good guess. I checked out this house, so it's five bedrooms plus a nanny quarters. No one who listens to the show can afford this fucking house. This has to be a million dollar house. Well, I'm sure what it is is an old Howard Stern fan

that just wants John to talk about. Yeah, I mean, that's probably it is. Probably, that's who Vinnie was. The guy throwing him is just a Howard Stern fan. He's also the attorney for Hype at Cherrick. So, John does have real friends. He just has hangers on, like Howard Stern. Yeah, I mean, that's what I imagine.

I mean, I love Steve Guerrilla. He's a very nice guy, but it's same stick. You know, they're all keeping the Howard Stern K-Rock radio day Howard Stern alive. I just want to play a couple more clips because as I mentioned, he lost no as a co-host. So now he has to do a political show by himself which he has no business talking politics at all.

The guy is so dumb. So he has these guests on who are people who want to get their message out there. They're political pundits. This is not your goofy buddy grillo coming on to shoot the shit or KC Armstrong. So he has the first two guests out on the show. The first guest comes on. He needs to explain why he's drinking a beer. He feels compelled to let them know. Look, this is a real serious political show, but just

see, you know, I'm gonna be getting wasted during it, but he hasn't really got to excuse for it. The traffic was bad, and I am actually having a beer. The reason being day, but is, I, during this meeting, I had, 48 ounces, I had a 16 ounce coffee, and a 32 ounce mountain dew, and I am so freaking wired that I have to calm down,

because it makes me so OCD So I got to have some calming down liquid So then he has his next guest on the next guest is this woman who is very concerned with voter fraud and she's like written a book about it And she has all this information she wants to get out John starts off the interview explaining to her why he's getting wasted First of all, you look great great. Thank you. You too. How's it going? Not in the appropriate thing to say to someone who's had a show about Voter fraud, but all right, whatever

It was kind of stressful. Jennifer.'s had a show about voter fraud, but all right, whatever. It's, you know, it was kind of stressful. Jennifer, I had a meeting today and it was all the way in Valencia and then I, and then there's, you know, you're in LA. So there's, you know, I'm in Oakland. Oh, you're in Oakland. That's right. So there's, you know, there's a wildfire going on at Seamy Valley. So I hit traffic. Oh, right're an awkward. That's right. So there's a you know, there's a wildfire going on at Simea Valley. So I hit traffic. Oh, right. Oh gosh. And I had 48 ounces of caffeine. So I said,

you know what, I have to have a beer at two because because I have OCD and like I start getting the jitters if I have too much caffeine. And I have myself them. Oh, all right. Well, that makes sense. So you did something that you shouldn't have, and now you're doing something else that you shouldn't. All right. Well, that makes perfect sense. Thanks for putting on your show for us. Yeah. You're gonna ask you a question because I, again, I've not been a breath of his career since, you know, last while. You, everybody else. Is he someone who is known to have strong political opinions now? Yes. This is how one of the ways he's reinventing himself is he hates Trump. He

actually the most famous thing he's done since he left Leno's show was make a prank call. We actually got through to Trump. Yeah. That was actually pretty good. Well, it would have been good, but he had zero jokes. He didn't have a single joke to say In his defense. I'm assuming he never dreamed he was gonna actually get through Correct. He didn't know how I'm an I'm a Mr. President that that that that I forgot about that was fucking cool. Good for him that he made that happen That's pretty wild. Well, he talks about it and nauseam. He will not let you forget. That's why I haven't forgotten I about it and nauseam. He will not let you forget. That's why I haven't forgotten.

I just have one more clip to play from Stuttering John. This is from his most recent episode. He comes on and he says something so absurd, but I think he means it. I think he really means it. Why in the world? And I'm asking this question to all of you out there. Why do you think serious XM hasn't asked me to do a show on their network? Why would he think it's qualified to have a show in Syria that's up his show is terrible. It's unlistenable. And he thinks it's because Howard's blocking him and Gary Delbato's blocking him. If nobody thinks, really? Oh, yeah, he goes, it's because of Marcy Turk.

Marcy Turk's blocking me. Oh, John, you just got Talented. You lack Talented. That's why you don't have a show. I'm serious, I don't know. How did they get rid of it? How did they lose him from a stern in the old days? I don't remember the whole steak.

Oh, that was great. J. Weno stole him away to become the announcer of the tonight show, which was a revenge fuck to Howard. It had nothing to do with John or his talent. We heard the audition tapes. You know, when he would have used the end slurred, say Nicholas Cage's name, he wasn't a good announcer. That's funny. It's really funny. That's great. I remember that now. He was on was he on for a while on Leno or just like a year or two? 10 years, but he started on the announcer. He was on screen screen and then they quickly moved him to the back office where I think he

was the call screener. Oh, Ralph, I want to thank you so much for coming on and doing the show. You host SDR with Big J. Ocarson. That show is still going strong. I know you just did a put out a show last week where you had Doug Benson on, I'm a big fan of. And then his new show with Doug Mellard called Wide World of Dugs.

And you put out Smillard right again, very good. And it's funny because they wanted to jay gave me shit for this because they're only gonna interview people named Doug, right? That's a copy of their show. So I said I'm here and Jay was like, this shit on me. But I know the guitarist of white snake in Dio, his name is Doug Aldrich, and they're like, ah,

you don't fucking know him blah, blah, blah, blah. Needless to say, he's doing their show. I said it up. Oh, sweet. I call it arguing made that happen. So Jay can go fuck himself. That's the answer. I like it. I actually saw Doug Benson on a Weezer cruise that I was out of it. I got to see him do

stand up and I got to see him do his podcast live and that was, that was a lot of fun. It's funny is that I only knew him because I, you know, listened a few times Jay had done the movie podcast that he has Douglas movies, you know, and he did Legion once, but I thought he was great. Actually, I thought it was really, really fun. Yeah. For sure. All right.

Well, everyone should definitely check out Gas Digital and you guys have some fantastic shows over there.

We have some great shows. I agree. That leads us to everyone's favorite part of the show.

The team. The team. The team. This is the part of the show we play a clip from the podcast that we'll be reviewing on next week's W ATP To tease everybody here is Sud Clip David's got a your book picture and his mom's copy of Ebony magazine essence I can't be I can't be sure my yearbook photo. It looks like I'm a ghost because they had to

Clean up so much acne off my face that it looks like it's like Photo shopped in there and my hair is like just above my eyebrows I look like look like it's from the 70s probably oh Airbrush your face. Yeah, I didn't ask him to or anything I wasn't like hey, can you guys hook it up? They were just like we're gonna hook this up a little bit I your your book photo look like the kid who died in the 70s came back as a ghost and like two people can see him. Yeah. And then he's trying to even go to this school.

He had some unfinished business. You can see the new book right? You can see this in the new book. That's the only way the football team won the state championship that year. This is a show called all fantasy everything. And what they do is they draft fantasy teams for everything. And as you could tell from that clip, they also tag every joke over and over again.

It's one of these high energy. Oh, we're just sucking a jive in over here. I'm the one who says, you're trying to play some hacky morning radio show. It's weird. Yeah. I think these guys have some influences. We need in the butt. Yeah, I mean, this is what it's like. I thought literally that you were going to tell me that this month you're doing all former people from radio doing podcasts. It's possible. I have not tried to do that, but it's possible. That's what's going on here. Rope, I'm going to let you bounce.

You have been fantastic. I really appreciate you coming on the show. Welcome back anytime. Thank you. Thank you. I'd like to tell you this court listeners to go fuck themselves. As you should. Yes.

You're getting some grief. He is getting some. Oh, wow. Producer Cresson just looking at the computer screen of the laughing this old time. I'm here to say, crack you like wait people saying, I don't get the show. I get the show. It doesn't have to be an asshole. You fucking idiots.

You've been fantastic, buddy. And I really appreciate it. So thank you so much for coming on. And we're gonna play the outro. And then I'm gonna do reviews and voice mails. But you don't have to hang out for that. Also, if you do, if you did record your audio, I should have to hang out for that. Also if you do if you did record your audio I should have told you to do this. If you did record

your audio and you can send that to me that'd be great. I'm sorry I would. That's my bad. I should have told you to do that. Alright so please join us again next week. It might be the episode we find out what's up for all. Who are these podcasts? Sleep well atpony. Party in the must-vis of Morning Radio. Day down to show these clothes right now. Hmm, okay. Great show. Good job everybody. Great job everyone. What? What? What?

Yay! Oh, great hard to learn great hard alert, class. That's about to be complete school. Well, that's retarded. I'm gonna keep on singing You know who are these podcasts? I don't know. I don't get it makes no sense With Vic Hey, what's up, Vic? Hello, I got Corona. Do you really? Okay, I do. I'm getting tested today, boy. Oh, so you're not feeling well, then huh? huh? Oh no I'm a shit and fucking liquid all day. That's not what corona is it's a respiratory illness. Well

no that's a symptom that was the beginning symptom for my roommate who tested positive carl you can go fuck yourself. You have a roommate? Yeah I do. Wow someone puts up with you and your voice. Somehow, bro. All right. That's pretty funny. I like that. I just want to point out, I like that Ralph is still in the discord talking shit to people. He's not gonna leave this alone. Nice like, Dillf voice. Like, you know, it's pretty calming compared to you so I don't know that you should be talking but all right fair enough so yesterday Vic came on and we reviewed her entire stand-up tape and I put that out as a bonus episode on Patreon this morning so that was really cool of you to do that thank you for

doing that Vic that was impromptu oh yeah no I was literally just woke up like 10 minutes before that. So, what a fun way to start your morning. All right, you got any reviews? Reese, you want to read great. You got some weird shit this week. You got a five star from Randy Hinkle. Well, this one's my favorite, Vic.

Vic sounds hot, everyone else sounds fat. Except Carl. He sounds drunk. That's a pretty good summation actually. It can be fat and drunk. Sometimes I am. Oh, yeah. And then you've got a five star review. Funny. I look forward to starting a mediocre podcast so these guys can rip it apart. Yeah, I'm good luck to stop. Yeah, right. Get in line. Okay, and then this one was super weird. You have a five star. It was made by Wizard of the Mounds a couple days ago. So it says a dark harvest, a puzzle box has been unlocked, releasing the tormented voices of the interdimensional beings

we were warned about. An unrelenting audio assault that reminds us not everything needs to be recorded and archived on the global server farms, five stars. Impressive. Yeah. He used a lot of big words that don't know Hellraiser reference there was there

By the way that just reminded me I don't know why it's not related in any way of the fan fiction post in the sub-rider About you to we talked about that yet No, I think we talked about the first one that PJ made though. Yeah, this new one is fucking creepy dude one that PJ made though. Yeah, this new one is fucking creepy. Dude, it, oh, it goes in. Yeah, it's, you got some sweaty feet and it's just, it's a whole thing. It's really disturbing. Yeah, red, it's been wild lately. Red, it has been wild. I agree on any other reviews or anything. You got any other reviews or anything? No, but I do want to mention Fabulous. He hasn't made a post for 22 fucking days. That sucks.

Yep, and it was two bounce on R-slash laundry. He said, once smell nice for stupid new job, put bounce sheet on neck and underarm, now skin red. WTF, how can I use bounce or she if it make my skin red I am fascinated by this guy. I need to meet this guy. Oh, yeah You know, and then he said if bounce put on clothes and dryer why I put on and get red skin How legal and then everyone was trying to explain to him that you know it irritates skin and it should be used like second hand with heat. But he was like, it's, it's illegal. That should not be allowed. So.

Very good. Isn't it odd that we're talking about someone bitching about bounce drier sheets and it's fascinating? I love it so much. How's that possible? I love it. He's my favorite. I want to be covered too. Come back, Bob. We love you. Yeah, it's like that.

So last week, I teased that we were going to have the head of a big podcast network on the show. And there's a lot of speculation on who it might be. Nobody guessed Ralph Sutton, but there were guesses for Lewis Jay Gomez, which is close. There were guesses for Drew Lane, which God willing will someday happen. But then there's these guesses, which are a little bit

off the mark. Hey, Carl, talk to Dixon. Feel free to leave this message if I'm wrong or it doesn't work out. But what you said for your host of next week that you tease makes it almost seem like it's Adam Corolla unless you're being sarcastic. And in which case that means you got Maddox to agree to come on to the show. And if that's true, I mean, don't play me like this, Carl. Don't tease that and pretend like you're gonna get Maddox. You're not gonna actually get Maddox.

I will be so disappointed that I'll lower my Patreon by like $1. So, you know, don't do it. Talk her out. Tucker Dixon, those are possibly the two worst guesses possible. Why not just say Alex Jones or Donald Trump? Like, what are you talking about? And of course, er, Maddox. Uh, that's funny.

All right, we've been doing these ID. Oh, I should have had fucking roast something to an ID for us. Producer Chris, I would I pay you for? These ID, oh I should have had fucking roast something to an ID for us producer Chris I would I pay you for Too much going on all right, let's let's see what else we got here T.P. for these pie cats. And we're on more for safety. Please. Two, one. There's ain't better than being. I'm a man in practice.

I was losing in the W.A.T.P. for these pie cats. Fucking hell that's bad for that, this guy. Fucking hell that. Always my favorite voicemailer right there. He's classy. He keeps it nice and classy. He needs to switch it up a little bit, but that's okay.

You might have noticed that we don't talk about bag slapping as much as we used to. Now the rage is all about rubber dicks. Yeah. Bring back bag slappers. I don't want to hear you say rubber dicks in the intro again. Call me back. All right. Sounds good. Well you've replaced you know Fat Kevin with Fat Vinny so I think you're just trying to edge everything out from the old show. Yeah season one. Season one W-A-T-P. Oh yeah. Yeah it makes sense. Hey Carl this is Prep Boy Rick here calling from my wonderful kitchen studio. I wanted to say that I've always enjoyed your content.

It was fun, it was great, right? I was listening to the ladies and gentlemen episode that you had Dick and Sean, it was a great time until I found out that you're one of those e-bomb world's assholes. As a representative of the YTM&D Army, all I can say is fuck you, you deserve to die, air bomb and deserve to die, you motherfuckers stole that Lindsey little handgift without any fucking credit, and I will never, ever forgive you for that.

Fuck yourself as hard as you possibly can and then do it again. You only deserve derisied from here on out. I'm pulling my Patreon. I don't know what VIX number is, but I'm going to block that. I'm not going to comment on the Reddit that I don't have using my all-the-counts. I'm not gonna do anything at all involving the sort of scum that you are. You fucking sell out.

Anyway, hey, Sean's cool and Dick's okay, but they can, yeah. Fuck you. So, YTM&D, man, that brings me back. We used to have a rivalry. When I worked at E-bombs World, we had a lot of enemies on the internet, like a lot of out of these. People really disliked us.

I'd like to say you still do. You still got quite a few enemies, Carl. Apparently we do. Even, uh, someone in our, uh, discord here, YTM and D represent. I mean, I feel like those battles have been fought. We've all moved on with our lives now, right? We've all moved on. Dick asked me if I wanted to come on

when he had low tax on to talk to him. I'm like, I don't think that there's still a rivalry between something awful and Eve, I was rolled out though 15 years ago. That was the only thing I was talking about with people. Wouldn't shut up about it. All right. I was a boring person, I guess is my point. Oh yeah, you were.

I'd rather kill myself than have you keep talking about this. So all right. I call it the ghost of your aborted son. Funny story about that. I did have a girlfriend who got an abortion in the would it be 90s? I think it would be the 90s. So my aborted son would have a voice similar to that at this point. Very interesting. Oh, this is, you're going to love this,

Vec, a guy from Australia called it. Oh, God, we know how you feel about Australians. Oh, yeah. Oh, by the way, this guy left us a bunch of voicemails. This is just one of them. Oh, this is Anthony Cumia. I hear that you do a show with the ribs off. Our famous formula called Joktober. My best friend, Ovi, was to say something to him. He was to say something, I'm, I feel you want to talk? Oh, oh, me, I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch, I'm a bitch, I, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, moon, the moon, moon, the moon, the moon, the moon, the moon That was terrible. Man, I love drunk Australians though. That's the only time they're good. All right.

Did you shit like that where you know, you can't even pay attention to what's happening? That's a huge Australian. So, that's interesting. I didn't know that's all it took to win over. That was not expecting that take just now. No, I love that. I need more drunk calls in general. I want to address soft weekly real quick in the Discord.

We only do one take podcast. So those guys set up an interview with the people from WATP, but it wasn't the bill from WATP. It was actually those two clowns up in Canada. They can scream and Instagram account and made a bunch of episodes about us and then fizzled out because they're talentless losers. But those guys somehow got on their show, we only do one take and talked about how they were from WATP. So yeah, I'm aware of those guys, I know that they're fans of the show, I wish that they had a little bit more sense, but what are

you gonna do? Boomer guy tried to do an ID. Let's see how this goes. Hey, this is Boomer guy. And you're listening to W-A-C-D-E. Ah, ah, ah! Ah!
