Who Are These Podcasts? - Ep322 - Opie Radio in 2022

Episode Date: June 30, 2022

It's time to check in on Opie who recently recovered from Covid (thank God) and is back to living on the beach so he no longer has to move his car for the street sweeper (dammit!). It's impossible to ...figure out why this guy is still broadcasting but we're extremely thankful that he is. Eric Zane joins the show to discuss his recent Cringe of the Week recognition. This guy is a two time CotW award recipient, very impressive. We also drop in on the Drew and Mike Show talking about parking, Stuttering John talking about Joe Biden's cycling skills, and Tony Michaels' inability to succinctly articulate what he learned from a crappy online workshop. https://ericzaneshow.com/ Support us, get bonus episodes, and watch live every Saturday and Wednesday: http://bit.ly/watp-patreon https://watp.supercast.tech/ Tickets for the roast: http://creepoffroast.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Starting point is 00:00:00 Ponders, fucking ponders. Episode 20! Who? What a dick! Are you a boner guy? You know what I miss penis? What are you talking about? I'm the one who should apologize.
Starting point is 00:00:13 Cause... Cause a roo. Cause a roo. Slapperoonie. It's show time. podcast, the only show that says more of me and less of you will make the show much better. I'm your host, Carl. With me today, a man who broadcasts from a room above his garage and it shows from the Eric Zane show, it's former radio personality and current HLPA announcer Eric Zane.
Starting point is 00:00:57 What's happening, Eric? Oh, Carl, you are. Thank you for having me once again. A two time winner winner of the, of the cringe of the week. So speaking of that, you were cr of the week last week because you were going off on someone in your chat room or something while you were doing your show. And I have to tell you that Mike Pelerito pulled a clip from back in 2018 and you were still on the radio.
Starting point is 00:01:20 And it sounds vaguely familiar. Listen to this. Look, dude, this sucks. Less you, more me going forward. No offense. Consistent. Consistent. Yes. Consistently says, I should be the one broadcasting. I'm gonna shut the fuck up and let's. Yes. Yes. That is my power. Eric Zaid, you know, there are zero satisfied customers who have ever, I mean, people have heard that. That is the quickest way to get more people to not like you. Yeah. I don't know why I do that. And the other thing that that does is it lets them know that it annoys you. And then they go, Oh, sweet. So we can annoy this guy. He's broadcasting.
Starting point is 00:02:01 They smell blood. He's such an idiot. This is our fifth midweek edition in these episodes. We pile on easy targets with unnecessary ridicule. Tony Michaels, I'm looking at you. Please go to who are these dot, got your email address, voice mail number, link to our subreddit, link to the discord server, link to our merchandise, the link to our YouTube channel and that link to Patreon and supercasts featuring two exclusive bonus episodes every month. One too many commentary track will finally be released. I'll probably have it out by the time that people hear of this.
Starting point is 00:02:31 So if you go on our Patreon or our Supercast, you can get a link to that. You can watch one too many with Tony from Heck the Movie and my commentary track on top of that. Also, I want to point out the YouTube channel if you haven't checked that out. I just uploaded two videos so far this week. We did part one of the MSCS media that was on the most recent show. So, you can see the video component of that.
Starting point is 00:02:54 And then we also went through the whole Twitter breakdown of muttering J's expose. And I pulled all of the screen grabs. You can actually see the tweets and what's attached to them. So that, I feel like, and I pulled all the screen grabs. You can actually see the tweets and what's attached to them So that I feel like and I could be wrong about this I think our audience on YouTube is very different than the audience that listens to the podcast I mean sure there's there's tons of overlap But it seems like a lot of people just get us in one place or the other so if you're listening to this check out the YouTube component There's some fun videos on there also. I have to mention creepoffrost.com.
Starting point is 00:03:27 September 17th, I come meet the Carlson here in lovely Rochester, New York. There's fewer than 40 tickets remaining. So get on that as soon as possible. Get your tickets. September 17th creepoffrost.com. Eric, I think we're gonna have you shoot a video or something and send it in.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Oh my God, I would love that. But you know what, the thing is, as you can tell, the ego in me, I think we're going to have you like shoot a video or something and send it in. Oh my God. I would love that. But you know what? The thing is, as you can tell, the ego and me, I think I'm hilarious and no one else does. So I would record something and everyone just be looking at like, who the fuck is this asshole? Yeah, but the good news is that you don't be in the room to watch that reaction. We get to be that.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Yeah, I know. We'll be repinating. It'll be a target rich environment and I would make myself a target. Perfect, very good. Oh, again, though, this is the best way to do it. It's the one-way communication that you so much enjoy. So you don't have to hear any of our feedback.
Starting point is 00:04:15 You can just push it all out on us. More you. Yeah, it's all in your money. Less you, it's all me. We encourage our listeners to give us a five-star review on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts from and then shit all over us in the comments section to confuse people.
Starting point is 00:04:31 And I believe that we will have the lovely Vic Up waiter to read some recent reviews if they're already. Who knows? Let's full $5. That's a tease. Will there be reviews? Oh my God. History seconds.
Starting point is 00:04:43 I can't wait. But first, we'll be reviewing the man who had the keys of the kingdom and lost them at a couch cushion somewhere. Greg Opie Hughes, who is still broadcasting for some reason, the thing that blows my mind when I watch these livestreams and I download his podcast, is that he's still consistently putting out episodes. For what reason? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:05:05 I can't figure it out. He's a workaholic. You know, honestly, if Motley Crew was playing clubs that 40 people could fit in, I think they'd quit. You would think. Yeah. You would think, like, would you reach a certain level and then you follow this far. Yeah, I think.
Starting point is 00:05:23 And you're talking to 20 people in the chat room. It wouldn't you feel like, what am I doing? Even the Vince Neil experience would quit. Yeah. Whatever Vince meal. You know, but yet he's still doing commercials for Hello, fresh. And I want to know how, right? How is it that that's even happening that you have you can put in your keyword, it'll be 16 or whatever and get how whatever presented job don't you have to have people paying attention. Someone's got to be listening to this, right? You mean like the advertiser listening to it going, are we paying for this?
Starting point is 00:05:57 Can you get marketing on the phone for me, please? I need to talk to marketing right now. I would love to have hello fresh on the Eriksential podcast along with Earl's Taco stand and Johnny's garage, but I can't seem to get it. All right, I checked out a livestream and a podcast you checked out a podcast or two. Let's get into it. I'll start with you. You was in the show where Opie got COVID. Yeah, this was Opie's
Starting point is 00:06:40 big comeback special. He was. Come back. Are you wrong? He was, he had no, that you went further to be come back. Yeah. And okay, this happened on June 15th, and it was titled My Experience with COVID. Okay. And that's actually going to factor in at some point in because if,
Starting point is 00:07:03 as you, as you listen to these clips, he tends to really, really accent or the word experience in one of these clips. And for some reason, one of the things I've noticed is he, he hangs on words for so long, you know, whenever he's speaking his pattern, his brother is one. Yeah, you know, and it's really kind of strange to me. But what this show boiled down to for 30 minutes was OP giving the most boring description of what happens to a person when they actually get COVID saying the same thing over and over again, a frickin Hello, fresh head two of them, OP looking out the window and playing old
Starting point is 00:07:41 clips from the OP and Anthony show, which is this new thing. I don't know if you caught onto that, Carl. Oh, well, actually what he's been doing, he's been playing the afternoon show he had on Series XM after OP and Anthony was done with because no one ever heard those shows. So he's like, I'll put it by my podcast feed. No one's ever heard this. Yes. And he describes it as unearthing this new material that hasn't been heard in forever. And it's just, it's just shit.
Starting point is 00:08:05 It's just rehash shit shows that he did at the time that no one really cared about. Also, I have to say it's 2022 describing your experience of having COVID. Everyone's had COVID at this point. No one's going, oh my gosh, what happened to you? Like, yeah, we've all had it multiple times. We all have friends and family have all had it. This isn't like an interesting thing anymore. And that's one of the things I want to park on on my number two. He's he's talking about something that was relevant probably a year and a half ago during all this and people when people were comparing COVID to the flu.
Starting point is 00:08:36 Okay. And there was the last time you heard somebody make that point. That's my cut number two. All those a holes out there. All those a holes and I'm sure I'm talking to a few of you right now. Sounds like patch that's just like the flu. It was my experience I do believe I could say that it was my experience you could talk from your experience that this was way worse than the flu. Oh, you had some flu symptoms, but those symptoms were, I don't know, two, three, four times
Starting point is 00:09:11 worse than the just like the flu crap. And that's all that was going through my mind over and over again, as I'm just sweating in a bed the first few days. Just like the flu. Like, thinking of all the people had to watch it on the cable news, had a, had a hear from people on my live stream and all over my social. It was a big damage. And of course, that was for people that never even had the damn thing. So they weren't even talking from experience. No, no, no.
Starting point is 00:09:49 All right, there's a direct game. Yeah, it's experience. Everything's full of spied and venom. That would be like, if I'm walking around the house, I see my wife and I say, so you're looking pretty. I really like your hair. Oh my god. I'm going to the bed.
Starting point is 00:10:09 It's what you're saying is that OPC like you'd be pleasant to hang out with. Is that what you're telling me? Yeah. You know, I can only imagine that this is just for the stupid podcast. But I'm like, why? Why does everything have to be so over the top dramatic and everything? Cause he's not fun. You're interesting.
Starting point is 00:10:24 So he has to, he has to do this thing with the voices because he's got nothing to say. Yes. And that's one of the things, because whenever I listen to shows like this, like in this case, park for a long period of time, on OP, I have to keep reminding myself, this is someone who has been exposed to an entire career's worth of how to do this, but yet nothing seems to
Starting point is 00:10:47 have stuck. And if he had it, he lost it. So how the fuck did he get to that point where he was making that much money in the first place? Because I wouldn't, if a child did this for a podcast, it might be acceptable, but this is a grown man who's been broadcasting his whole life. Well, I can give you two explanations. And they are Anthony Kumia and Jim Norton,
Starting point is 00:11:06 would be the reason why he was successful in broadcasting because before that he was spinning records and doing a fantastic job. I'm sure I'm still waiting for someone to send me the old tapes of when he had the night time show on Long Island. If anyone has that audio, I'd love to hear what he was doing before he met Anthony.
Starting point is 00:11:24 But you know, it's interesting, Eric, as I'm listening to this and I was doing before he met Anthony. But, you know, it's interesting, Eric, as I'm listening to this and I've had COVID and everyone has COVID a little bit differently. For me, it was very mild and the flu sucks. And it sounds like, hoping he had the flu. So far, everybody's described like, well, maybe you didn't have the flu, because yeah, the flu fucking sucks, man. Don't add to he's like, oh, the flu is nothing. I had COVID. I'm like, I'd rather have COVID personally. Right, right. He gets distracted in this particular show.
Starting point is 00:11:52 He decided to go on the TikTok. Oh, good. And now I don't know anything about this, but I guess that if they tap the screen, that's a good thing. I'm not sure. And he's encouraging them to tap the screen, that's a good thing. I'm not sure. And he's encouraging them to tap the screen. And instead of just saying tap the tap the screen, he has to do it in a retarded opi way. So there's that. And then he's claiming he will reward them if they
Starting point is 00:12:19 do it. This is my cut number one car. Yeah, exchanging numbers for the summer and all that. I couldn't do that. Instead I just had like just a flop sweat. Y'all tap the screen. Yeah, pretty plus more. Get them tap and tap, tap, tap. Yeah, simple as this. If I don't get a lot of taps, then I ain't gonna go live on the TikTok.
Starting point is 00:12:42 Why would I do that? Why would you do that? Why would you do if you got tabs? What do you mean? No, I don't know. I don't know how the fuck that works. Who's that? They're too good for shit right now. Oh, you're gonna tap it? Okay, well, then yeah, all right. I love it when these shows, I go up being later on. Hopefully if we talk about John, the whole idea of holding the audience hostage like that, that whole
Starting point is 00:13:07 thing either you give me, if you give me taps, I'll go live on, if you give me an, he says, tap, tap, tap. And that fucked up Mark Simpson voice of his, you know, he then I'm then something good's going to happen. You're going to get more of me on Tick-Tock. So I don't know that that equates to money. I would hope that it does because I know that if you get people's stars on Facebook, you get money and actually I have a live stream, we're gonna review in a little bit that shows open. It's very excited about stars on Facebook, which is cool.
Starting point is 00:13:39 But obviously, OP is falling on hard times because he talks about how he has to cancel a couple of cable channels. You know, showtime and stars. He has to cancel because he doesn't have a lot of money. And this is an interesting little saga. And then we were trying to cancel some channels, you know, we're trying to be a little smarger with our money. The ONA years are long gone. So we got to be a be a little smarter with our money. The ONA years are long gone.
Starting point is 00:14:05 So we've got to be a little smarter with our money. All I wanted to do was get rid of showtime and stars. And it was a whole thing. Well, if you can't rid of the showtime, then you have to get rid of this and that. And then we had this charge because you did that. I'm like, what just get rid of it? Well, we can get rid of it in two or three months
Starting point is 00:14:29 because there's a blimp, blimp, blimp, blimp. This is what I think they were saying. Cause like I said, they were speaking to me in a language from a far away law. And these companies know it, man. The outsource their customer service. They know it. They know you're just gonna sit on that phone.
Starting point is 00:14:46 I think we clucked in at around two hours. Two hours. So my question to you is what is OP good at? It took them two hours to cancel showtime and stars. Something you should be able to do on the website. I know it's YouTube TV I can, but I think that it's pretty telling that whatever money that's going to save him, let's say it's 20 bucks a month, in two hours time, I could pay for showtime and stars for a year because my time is valuable. Oh, he's there on the phone with the cable company talking to some guy in India. He can't understand getting the run around.
Starting point is 00:15:21 He's really bad at life. And you can also tell he's trying to be sensitive to who he's talking to. Okay, he doesn't want to say the nationality. He's very gun shy about that. He's trying to be aware. But at this point, does it even really matter? No, because honestly, I don't think anyone's listening to the show and I have some evidence of that because OP had a settlement with Sirius XM. And so he was obviously let go, wasn't fired. He was let go from there and there was some type of buyout
Starting point is 00:15:56 or whatever the settlement was. And after that happened, OP would say, over and over again, I'm not saying anything about Sirius XM, those guys did well by me, whatever. I don't know if this expired or something the FDA expired or what's going on because he's putting them on full blast now for some reason I know you made us hundreds of millions of dollars possibly a billion dollars in your long career over here but you're now done you're now gonna be black malt and we're gonna race all your material.
Starting point is 00:16:25 You're not gonna hear one minute of opian Anthony on serious XM. Because when they're done with you, they're done. They take away your magical powers and they call you an Uber. Tanks for nothing. Eric, you're a radio guy. Why the hell would they continue to play OP and Anthony shows when those people don't work for them anymore? Well, it's, it's kind of like the same mindset. First of all, he thinks that those, he knows that those were successful days. So he thinks that they would want to do that. How dare
Starting point is 00:17:01 they not take something that was fantastic and rehash it eight million times, which is what Opie does now like you were talking about. He's still stuck in that in that whole thing. There was a period of time, you perfectly honest with you. When I was doing this, when I would, I would do the same thing. I would play old clips from my old show and I wasn't even supposed to do that. And then one day, one day I woke up and I said, you look like a fucking asshole. Just go do your own fucking thing. Yeah. And let all that shit go. Yeah. It's really funny to me that in Opie's mind, what, what, if you've ever been fired from a radio station and then
Starting point is 00:17:38 they're like, all right, we let Eric Zayn go. We're going to be playing best of Eric Zayn's Monday through Friday, six a to 10 a checking out drive tie like this is like any sense. Now, full disclosure, I do play have something on my Patreon of my old radio show that I play, but I just give it them the full shows, but I don't like say, oh my God, you won't believe how great this was. I know it sucked dick, but something's got to go on the Patreon. Wow. I know what suck dick, but something's got to go on the Patreon. Wow.
Starting point is 00:18:05 Going back to this idea that OP needs money, I found this very telling because a guy in Australia gives him five Australian dollars. Did I just make five dollars? Let me put you on the big screen. Good day from Australia. Recipes Patrice O'Neil, absent. Affan, Lutely. You gave me some five dollars of A's.
Starting point is 00:18:30 What the hell is that? Could someone do the exchange on my five dollars of A's? Send it back. You're rich. Don't be an ass. Who after yourself? This is America. I still want to make money, you idiot. Yeah, maybe Howard should like, you know, not make $100 million a year. Go, go bother Howard and tell Howard
Starting point is 00:18:53 to give all the money back. I still want to make money in. How do you know my financial situation, sir? You're looking at a guy that is cash poor. If you wanna know something, you just ask. Instead of making up all this garbage about me, you're looking at a guy that is cash F in poor. Oh.
Starting point is 00:19:15 Oh. Yeah. Yeah. No shit. Yeah, you're celebrating $5 on Australian, which is under four bucks US. And I love that OP's whole thing is, why can't I make money?
Starting point is 00:19:28 You're not making a front-hours turn. Yeah, because he's making $100 million. That's the kind of money a rich person gets out of bed for. When you're making $5, you have millions in the bank. That's weird. That's what they're saying to you, OP. Why are you celebrating $3.40? So hardly.
Starting point is 00:19:44 You were making millions a year. You're broadcasting from your home in the Hamptons. You're not even spending any time in your apartment in Manhattan for three months out of the year. You should not be celebrating $5. That's all people are saying. And not loss is the fact that in a scope of 30 seconds, someone gave him a gift and he became bitter enemies at the end of the thanking him. That is fucking incredible.
Starting point is 00:20:15 Yeah, he's something else, isn't he? And just the cast of characters, I'd love to see all the little voices that he does. I'd love to see how many people Opie thinks are on his show. Well, you know what's interesting is you mentioned voices and he does, he does Hillbilly Opie from time to time, which I'm starting to create a super cut of that. I don't have that ready. He also does exasperated Moch Simpson Opie,
Starting point is 00:20:40 which that's a, that's a, but one that I have worked on quite a bit is Long Island Trash Opie. Oh, good. I'm not going to be a big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big big I long I could talk, start a coffin, but I was talking to my doctor friend, Dr. Steve, very, very tap, tap, tap, thank God. I like how it was. So that's one of the characters. The other character is Harry the Hater. And that's when John talks about the trolls,
Starting point is 00:21:19 Opie talks about the haters. So Opie does the voice of the hater when he's getting comments and things that he doesn't like. But yeah, I'm glad you picked up on that because he goes seamlessly in and out of these characters. You got it. Well, barely even keep up with it.
Starting point is 00:21:34 Well, in the one, in the one of that super cut, he refers to Dr. Seavius's doctor and then a second later says doctor and then says doctor again. So it's like one after the other. it's like, well, wait a minute. First of all, why are you doing that? There isn't anyone in the planet who thinks that the typical long guideline accent sounds anything but shitty. Yeah. And he continually sees constantly doing it throughout his show.
Starting point is 00:21:57 It's the equivalent of jingling your keys over a toddler. It's what only shows like, whoa, making weird sounds. Isn't this entertaining? I think you guys experiencing the Opie experience. Play my cut three. It was my experience. I do believe I can say that. It was my experience.
Starting point is 00:22:20 You could talk from your experience. There's no edits in that. That's just that's just the way he talks He really doesn't use himself though Yes, it's hard it's doing his thing and Let's talk about Opie and what I consider this to be the best definition of a humble brag You know, I throw that out there a lot, humble brag.
Starting point is 00:22:47 This is what really the definition of it is. And my very young daughter is a binge watching modern family. I think I'm a bad parent. I don't think she should be binge watching modern family. Wow, you're so cool, Opie. Your daughter's watching modern family. Whoa. I'm a bad parent. I'm a big parent.
Starting point is 00:23:05 I'm a sad parent. Oh, God. It's God. That's got to hurt. It sounds painful. Remind me, one of these days, after some time has passed, we got to bring Eric Beck out and act like he's actually OP. Because he does some of these voices spot on.
Starting point is 00:23:21 We're like, oh, OP, we finally got him on the show, big thing. What are you talking about? Oh, what? It's funny because Opie in this episode, that I listened to, I think acknowledged me. I think. Let's see. Does way more positive people, way more cool people.
Starting point is 00:23:39 I see that. I know I got these lunatic haters that obsess about me and talk about me on their weird internet shows and stuff I don't click on any of it but I'm aware I know they're out there but the fact remains that I have way more people that are cool and support me and like what I do than that I don't think that's true I've seen the numbers I don't think that's yeah but also I like how all the sudden my show is a weird internet show.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Oh, we were all on the internet. That's what everyone's doing now. It's a weird internet show. I tell you, hey, I'll tell you what, if he does not listen, then he is made of tougher stuff than I am because I mean, seriously, if I knew that there was a show dedicated, I mean, I don't know, how could the curiosity not consume him? Seriously. Well, he actually explains that when he gives us a pass by saying that as long as there isn't hate in your heart, he has no problem with the things that people say.
Starting point is 00:24:36 And I totally agree with that. I think that if you're going for the laugh and you're treating this like a roast, then it shouldn't be a big deal. Of course, he immediately negates that with this clip here. You know where my line is, say whatever the hell you want as long as you don't have hate in your heart. Unless you really hate somebody and you have to get that hate out, but you understand that, okay.
Starting point is 00:24:58 I do, I don't know. Say whatever you want. As long as you don't actually hate the person, unless you do hate the person, you can motherf fuck them too Those assholes. Now let me now and you know and just being fair when he talks like that What he just said is absurd as it was yes if he would just do that and base it on like you know Shit people are talking about I would bet he would be able to have he would have been able to pull this off
Starting point is 00:25:23 Probably too late now at this point I don't know who knows but the fucking guy doesn't try he doesn't he doesn't lift one fucking finger for that show Yes, and I have an example of that where he proves that he doesn't do the bare minimum to put on a good show It's instead of saying homeless you got to say oh What's the does anyone know the term? to say, oh, what's the, does anyone know the term? I was gonna write it down. I'm like, oh, why don't you start writing things down. Your life trends will be that much better.
Starting point is 00:25:49 Check out the big brain on bread. You'll spot my life. That's right. Yeah, it's called prep. You remember the guys used to do it for you over an open athlete, remember the best show you've ever been on? They had all that prep. You know, you had segments.
Starting point is 00:26:02 You knew what you were gonna talk about. Oh, it was a miracle because he goes goes on he does these shows almost every single day He won't talk about his personal life he makes that a point to say like I don't let you into my life You guys will never see it and it was a certain point of guys like hey, oh, buddy. You carry the computer around show What's your house? I'm not doing that you're not gonna get any of that so he doesn't do that He doesn't follow politics. He says I don't watch the news anymore. I don't follow politics. He doesn't follow sports. People ask go about, hey, you're an islanders fan, right?
Starting point is 00:26:29 It's like, I don't know. I don't really watch anymore. Okay, okay. So it's like, there's nothing for him to talk about. He won't talk about the only things that are interesting in his life. And he doesn't know anything about anything else. So it's like, what's the point of broadcasting that?
Starting point is 00:26:39 What are you doing? Yeah. And that's horrible. That's the kiss of death for anybody. I can't, I can't believe how uninteresting he is. Well, at least he got COVID. The, he was like, yes, something to talk about. I have the fever. So in that exact show that I was with, with, with his descriptions of it and it was terrible. And he does a lot of, hey, I don't like talking about my kid, but then he started talking about the kid. And it was all boring and stupid and pointless.
Starting point is 00:27:08 But then, but then, okay, he's run out of things to talk about. He's played two OP and Anthony clips. He's done two Hello Fresh commercials. He's still got 10 minutes left. So what does he do? He looks out the window. I swear to God, this is unedited telling us a story breaking down on cut number six. Hudson River shipping practices. But anyway, these these ships, this guy's camped out for the night, camped out for the night right there on the Hudson River here in New York City. I guess it's too late to drop off its goods. So it'll be camped out for the night on the Hudson River. And if I was at this guy's house
Starting point is 00:27:52 and he was pointing out the way back, can we throw on the TV or something? Is it Yankees gave out or something? That's the thing. See it. I'm sorry, pause the pause, because something about New Yorkers, some New Yorkers, they really think
Starting point is 00:28:04 that the shit around them is interesting because they're in New Yorkers, some New Yorkers. Yeah. They really think that the shit around them is interesting because they're in New York. That would be like me opening up the window and talking about the guy on the corner or the school bus picking up the kids. It's like, no one gives a fuck. What are you doing? You wouldn't believe this, Eric. But in Rochester, we have rivers too. It's crazy. There's rivers boats sometimes. Oh, it's on the lips up. It's the whole nation nearby you to the north. That's oh, yeah. I can see Toronto from my house. Watch out. See, all right. Let me see if I can go this way.
Starting point is 00:28:37 So you got one. And then if I keep going, there's the second one. And then the angle's bad, but there's the second one and then the angle's bad but there's a third one and they'll just camp out for the night on the good old Hudson River cool and then first thing in the morning they'll fire up their engines how many hours has he spent watching these boats just doc and stay there all night he's like all right I just got to get up one more time and check out that boat. Yep, still there. Actually, I think there's a tug,
Starting point is 00:29:09 is there a tugboat on that one? I don't know. And then they'll go down river. Maybe in the ocean to my, as you're looking at this to the left is, you know, the Atlantic Ocean. Yeah, the Atlantic, the Atlantic. I don't know, maybe another five miles down river. So I'm not sure. But yeah, over here is the Indian or Pacific Atlantic. Maybe these ships are going to be hitting the ocean and they're just chilling before that.
Starting point is 00:29:36 Maybe they got some goods to drop off some more down the Jersey shore. Yeah, it'd be one thing. If you created a story, like you made up a story around like anything. This person in the boat, what they're doing. It's in he goes, who knows what they're doing? It could be anything. Yeah, I know. It could be anything, right? Wow.
Starting point is 00:29:53 That's the kid. And this is a man who's about 60. Can you imagine when he's 80, how many people are gonna hang themselves that actually have to stick? His kids are gonna kill themselves. They're gonna throw themselves out of the window. I haven't even illiterate fucking stories
Starting point is 00:30:07 Jesus Christ If you're walking by Opie's building be out the lookout. I'm just saying Keep an eye. Keep an eye up for her Help thank God they got him dying watch out for a tween who's born to death and can't take another second of it. Yeah, I wonder if the kid ever is like, Dad Do you know how fucking boring you are? I mean, this is really bad. They're not that age yet, but they will be a pictures wife Polk and her head and like, Oh, you're not gonna waste your day again I'm working I'm watching the boat It's my experience
Starting point is 00:30:45 It's my experience that they love this. So the episodes that I listened to, Opie's at his house in the Hamptons by himself because the family went on vacation to New Jersey and because Opie had COVID or they just started to dislike him, they left him back at home with Doggie and he got to do the show. And someone goofs on him because he hasn't really done his hair up very nicely.
Starting point is 00:31:08 He goes that first thing in the morning. He looks like shit, I purposely, I'm not saying anything that's rude. He purposely looks like, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. It was just his one of that as well. It's one of my things.
Starting point is 00:31:20 I don't own a comb, I don't own a brush. It's actually a sad story live. No, it's not really a sad story. It's kind of a... Combs trigger the kid. Combs trigger the kid. So he goes out and talk about how his mom had a blue comb and when she lost it, she would freak out in the kids. And that's why he's triggered by combs and brushes. I just want to say that my mom used to beat me with a toothbrush and that explains a lot. So she's cash, all these cash pour and hygiene pour now.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Is that right? Oh yeah, he will not comb or brush his hair because we're so reason that triggers him. He's called coblis. I know. I get it. You're afraid of co-less. I know. I get it. You're afraid of co-less. Could you guess shampoo?
Starting point is 00:32:09 Yeah. With that, Kylia. Yeah. What's the story there? You know, that's a perfect story to tell and make fun of yourself. That actually is something that he could park on and do something. I know it's crazy, but you won't believe I'll fucked up. I am.
Starting point is 00:32:23 But no, he's trying to like you won't believe I'll fucked up I am. But no, he's trying to like almost draw sympathy because he's fucked up. Then he talks about how we flipped on the FM dial to see what's going on on radio. And he's like, guys, radio is unlistenable because you can't say anything on radio anymore. You get in trouble. And there's so many ads running all the time. And then he has the boss to say that's they're getting suffocated by commercials. So you can't even listen to any of these radio stations for more than I don't know,
Starting point is 00:32:56 two songs, three songs, and then our DJ babbling about nothing. Oh, you're complaining about a person on the radio babbling about nothing. Oh, yeah, complaining about a person on the radio babbling about nothing. Opie. Is that the problem? And that's a great problem to have if you're Opie in the year 2010 for fuck's sake. Yes. They're babbling about nothing. Opie who admits earlier in the show, he should write things down so that he could talk
Starting point is 00:33:19 about them. Well, actually, I shouldn't say that. He's got a really good take on shandys. Are you familiar with shandys? I don't know, you're not a drinker. No, no. A shandy is a beer mixed with lemonade. Okay.
Starting point is 00:33:33 For people with thick beer tastes, a little too harsh, you just sweetened a little bit, softened the blow. I wanted to stock up on some beer and went to my beer distributor. And I picked up some lining coagles, summer, their summer, what is it? The summer shandy?
Starting point is 00:33:52 Where's my Wisconsin people? The lining coagles summer shandy is very, very tasty. And it tastes like beer, which is very, very important. It does not taste like beer. I like that he's like, here's my endorsement for this kind of beer. It tastes like beer. Yeah. Why?
Starting point is 00:34:10 That's the bare minimum beer. I mean, it's really what else? What else you got? I like the, where's my Wisconsin people? Yeah. I don't know. Probably not paying attention to this. Probably in Wisconsin.
Starting point is 00:34:24 That would be my guess. So off. Yeah, I know, but geography major Eric, what else you pick up on from your COVID episode? Okay. Um, again, it boiled down to what I just, what I talked about, but he kept going down the road of being distracted by things that he was seeing. So if you, uh, if you click on my, uh, cut, uh, cut number five, he's distracted by a helicopter. Classbox studio. Oh, look at a helicopter.
Starting point is 00:34:55 Helicopter, helicopter. See, I know the TikTok and my money doesn't jiggle, jiggle. It folds. I know the TikTok songs. I'm all about it. Yeah, but no one in your audience does. Who do you think you're talking to? And there's a lot going on there. First of all, he does Marge Simpson where he's like, I know all about it. And he does the singing and the silly voice. and he does something else that I picked on, picked up on. When he's talking about something rather than saying, I'm on TikTok or I have COVID or I'm on YouTube. He throws in the, I'm on the TikTok. I have a, the blank supercut. I've squand know the TikTok.
Starting point is 00:36:05 I know the TikTok songs. I'm all about it. You are the retard. Yeah, he really does latch on these stupid little things that are not amusing. And I have to tell you that, so he is not an original person in any way. And most of his personality comes from brother Weez,
Starting point is 00:36:26 who is a radio personality in our market Rochester, where OP did an internship and learned a lot from, you know, he's still friends with Weez to this day. And a lot of his manners, even like the brother man thing, is all a brother Weez thing. And OP just shamelessly rips it off and is turning it into his personality. But then he also steals stuff from like Ron Beddington.
Starting point is 00:36:48 He'll do the cheers. He's got his little cup of coffee, cheers. Okay. Got my coffee, cheers. And it's just so obnoxious to me that OP is nothing but stealing from other people, but all the worst elements. Yeah, you're supposed to steal from the best. Yeah, steal the jokes.
Starting point is 00:37:02 Right. He'll something make it your own, make it a little different so that there's at least some plausible deniability, but to actually steal the actual line, the actual whatever stupid fucking nuance that they do. We have a two-shirt that says brother man on it. It's like, yeah, we know that you're stealing that from we's. I don't know why you're doing that. I guess we's as small enough in one little market
Starting point is 00:37:28 that he can get away with that, but. Side note, I have interacted with him. He's off. He's with Wies. Yes, I interacted with him at a radio camp. And he is, I mean, I, yeah, right. Yeah, right. Tell me about this, your parents said you're gonna love this.
Starting point is 00:37:43 You're gonna love this. That was the name for that's where I it's called morning show boot camp and all the morning shows to go there and you like network and you do radio shit. And so and he was at it and so you know you sit at a table you share ideas and shit like that. Are you doing your show from there too? No, no, no. So wait a sec. Time off and you're spending a talk about your
Starting point is 00:38:05 job pretty much that's a rip off. But a lot of these radio folks hang out together. They're all pretty good friends and they and they and they networked. Now, I didn't that's why I'm doing the show here because no one in radio likes me. Carl. Yes, I know. You can only podcasters are like, is there a guy's all right? I know it. Yes, I know. You can only podcasters are like, is there ex-aid guys are right? I know it. Well, at least you found your home, my friend. You welcome. Yes, thank you.
Starting point is 00:38:32 Welcome to the community. So this is OPI. I wish you would have spent a little more time paying attention at that boot camp because he has nothing to say and openly admits that before the end of a show here. But he told me something. Oh, and he's talking about how he got great advice from his father when he was younger. and openly admits that before the end of a show here. But he told me something.
Starting point is 00:38:46 Oh, and he's talking about how he got great advice from his father when he was younger. But he told me something a million years ago. Oh, well, I got advice from him and I got advice from my mom and both of these things are great, absolutely great. Maybe I'll just stand with this because I obviously don't wanna have a lot more to say today.
Starting point is 00:39:04 Oh. I know when I don't have a lot to say. You do. You know, he sheepishly said that. He was that's why he laughed. He was all kind of embarrassed that he doesn't say anything. Yeah. He goes, I know when I don't have anything to say, then why do you keep it in record every day?
Starting point is 00:39:21 What are you doing? Give nothing to say. So what's it to this amazing advice? Cause I'm all ears. I'm like, this guy is successful. You know, he's done very well in his industry. What did your dad tell you that was so helpful for the way you live your life?
Starting point is 00:39:34 And he said, my dad said, everything in moderation. I was like, whoa, slow down. I've never heard that before. And then his mom gets him advice too, which obviously really sage advice here. And then my mom, and it's in my high school yearbook, she simply sat me down one day and she knew there were a lot of assholes in this world, a lot of bastards. She knew a long time ago, a million years before social media. And she, uh, she
Starting point is 00:40:07 said to me, she goes, Greg, don't let the bastards get you down. And that was her life advice, which wow, man, I guess she knew Twitter was a coming. These are the two lessons he remembers. Right before she stuck a comb on my ass. But I mean, it's well documented that his mom was an asshole. And so it's not surprising. She's like, hey, by the way, there's a lot of people who suck out there. I'm like, yeah, mom, you're one of them. I know.
Starting point is 00:40:33 I'm dealing with it right now. I get it. The bastards keep you down. The bitches on the other hand. I love that even though it opens even boring when he's like the most important thing my parents ever told me was, things from a TV show. Yeah, even that's just like nothing.
Starting point is 00:40:48 There's no substance there. Prior to you opening, you know, getting into his whole body of work on the podcast, Carl and Chris, did you think of him as that boring person when he was on the show with Anthony to a degree? Because I remember very clearly, there would be times when OP didn't show up to work. He's on vacation, he's sick, whatever it was. And it was just Anthony and Jim.
Starting point is 00:41:13 And I would get really excited to the point where he used to tell my wife like, really good OP and Anthony today, check it out, no OP. And she's like, yes, that's awesome. So we both knew he was dragging the show down. I had no idea how untalented he was until he started podcasting and trying to figure out if he could be entertaining on his own. And then I'm like, wow, this is insane. But yeah, we always kind of knew that he was the weak link on that show. It was pretty obvious.
Starting point is 00:41:38 I have a clip of him. Boy, he was again, this all comes because he's looking out the window. Yeah. On the, on the COVID recovery show. And he someone mentioned. I'd rather watch grandpa watch TV. Yeah. I was just like, I don't even know who's playing. Who's winning at this game? What are the people in the chat? mentions that what they see looks like where Sully Sullenburg, whatever his name is, the guy landed on the Hudson. Sure. And you know, that's all you need to say. Yeah. But he, he tells the whole fucking boring story about how what they saw. I mean, this takes minutes. Okay. And he even goes so far as to say for the newbies, this is for you,
Starting point is 00:42:27 like there's new people who haven't heard this story before. This is my cut number seven and then he gets distracted by people that should be tapping the screen and he demands more of these fucking taps on number seven. The water was really, really cold and got very, go back to the spot. This is where some tap, tap, taps. I didn't get enough tap, tap, taps to go back live on the TikTok. I'm going to be honest. It's really, whole history. This great story. Is, is worth more of these taps.
Starting point is 00:43:04 I didn't get enough. So I'm demanding more. Oh, God, it's so it's just, you know, it's. Oh, there's a movie about it that no one wants to watch. That's how boring this story is. I like Jim Norton's take on it. I like pilots who don't fly into geese. I think that's pretty incredible.
Starting point is 00:43:20 That's probably what he should have done. I've never heard a person. I mean, of all the people that, I mean, since COVID has started, I think everyone has a pretty good handle about it. Yeah. He's seen clueless as to the mechanism of how you get it, how it's transmitted, how you whatever is to fence. Does anyone even talk about these things? I don't even know.
Starting point is 00:43:41 Yeah. God. I wish the CDC would bring it up from time to time. I'd never hear about it anymore. Do you have any other clips? That's us. No, that's it. I have exhausted my O.B. clips.
Starting point is 00:43:51 Okay. Very good. I have a quick glory days clip, and I wanted to play this for you because you used to do a radio show. You did a morning show for many, many years. Yes, sir. And I'm wondering if you ever did this bit that he describes out here.
Starting point is 00:44:06 He's very proud of this by the way. We got away with crazy stuff. Cherry Darts is anyone know of the cherry, cherry Darts thing, one of our shock-jock bits, girls, more than willing. We come in, they would remove, you gotta be careful how you talk about this. They would remove everything. I think I could say that way.
Starting point is 00:44:28 They would remove everything. They'd get naked. You could also say. Oh, and then we would dip cherries in whipped cream. And we were trying to hit the bullseye. Oh, yeah. I want to remorse. cream and we were trying to hit the bullseye. Oh yeah. I want to remorse. I get, you know what, this guy from me too, he's just like, oh yeah, I'm chucking.
Starting point is 00:44:51 Cherry's it, girls twats. Oh yeah. Why is he naked, but he can call a pussy a bullseye. What is it? Why is he slow? I thought that's crazy how reluctant he is to say shit, you know, I know I know it's an act to That's what what do you fucking afraid of you asshole? It's the internet Well also it's well documented everything you guys did shoving with all bets and the girls and stuff
Starting point is 00:45:20 And now he's going the girls would come up and I don't don't know how to say this, but they would undress. Yeah, I think that's one way to do it out, but anyway, it's a little suffice. Well, you know, there should be naked girls in the radio studio. Yeah, I've seen private parts. I've listened to Morning Radio the 90s. I know exactly how this works.
Starting point is 00:45:40 And then he ends it with, oh yeah. Oh yeah. That's the creepiest thing of all. I don't know. He's dancing around. He's like, he's trying to toe the line. Yeah, girls, he, uh, get naked.
Starting point is 00:45:54 And then, you know, we dip the cherries and, and then we throw it at the bulls like, oh, yeah. Oh. All right. This is the last clip I have from this episode. So why focus on those people? Obviously it's hard at times and obviously you gotta punch back from time to time, but it's a terrible way to live your life
Starting point is 00:46:17 to just focus on the negative. Very good, Opie. That's why you and I are not in a pending lawsuit together. Because you've done a good job of focusing on the positive things in your life of which there are many. What's that? Forget this view that Opie has from his house in the Hamptons looking out at one of the oceans who knows knows, who knows what ocean that is? There's a nice beach, beachfront. And ocean, and this is how OP starts his livestream.
Starting point is 00:46:54 And some of these livestreams become podcasts, I'm not even sure how that works, to be honest with you, because he doesn't like do a dedicated podcast per se, but he does some type of editing to make these livestream streams into podcasts. Like you were saying, Eric, where he'll just be like reacting to comments and things that you can't even see, but it's because when he's doing the stream, you see things like this.
Starting point is 00:47:14 And it looks like we are live. Good morning, everybody. Welcome to my live stream from the ocean on this tofer Tuesday. You know, rock and roll doesn't have a lot of songs about Tuesday to come to mind right off the top of my head. Those two songs would be the rolling stones. Good by Ruby Tuesday. That's one of those. Good. And then my favorite rock and roll song about the day Tuesday Tuesday is gone but Leonard Skinner would know. Skinner Tuesday is gone. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:53 Per sip of coffee by the way. So cheers to everybody. Is he got disney to be a radio disney again? Yeah. And, and you know, I can't help, but I'm trying, I always try to put myself into his brain. So he said it's a Tuesday. So while tangent about dumb fuck songs, he took a drink, he sees the coffee, I'm going
Starting point is 00:48:14 to, I'm going to talk about the coffee. You know, it's just, it's, he's got absolutely nothing going on. And as I mentioned, everything he's doing there is hack. He's stealing that from radio DJs, which he's done all of his career. Also, so he's at the house by himself. And we're seeing the view he wants us to see. So he's got his shitty shirts hanging up behind him. And he's wearing a shirt that looks like it's 22 years old. What is it with millionaires and having just the world's worst clothing? I don't understand why you're so proud of yourself with this. That's fucking, I mean, you know, to be honest, there's something cool about a person who's
Starting point is 00:48:55 got a lot of money, you know, just dressing down. That's fine. Maybe that's what he's shooting for, but that's too much credit. There's never ever anything cool about OP. Well, it's hard to brag about money, even though he is, as I mentioned many times, at his beach house in the Hamptons. But when you have to thank the supporters who give you stars on Facebook in this manner, it seems like maybe things aren't going that well for you.
Starting point is 00:49:21 I want to thank some supporters that keep me motivated to turn on the livestream every morning. If you gave me stars on the Facebook, I'm keeping track. I use a third party app so when you give me stars during the livestream, I don't see it until after the fact. YouTube, it's different. If someone gives me something on YouTube, I see it right away. But for whatever reason, it's a bug with the Facebook
Starting point is 00:49:43 and this third party app I'm using. So now I write it down every day. Here are the people that gave me stas yesterday. They would be a piece of paper with handwritten names on it. Paul John Kerr, Scrooge miners, and last but not least, RJ. I didn't do that. There are five people on this list who gave me stars. That's right. He had a right their name sound on a piece of printing paper and Hold it up to the camera in order to give them credit and when I see something like that I'm like, oh, oh, be what are you doing? Do you really are you making that much money that you feel the need to give them?
Starting point is 00:50:26 producer credit on your show? Thank you for those those people helping the cause. I greatly appreciate it And you know you get that the whiny little baby The fact is that added up to about $20 That's it. Oh no $20 to turn this on I can buy some beer That's it. Oh no $20 to turn this on I can buy some beer You know get some coffee going and maybe a fun for the side view mirrors when they get stolen again Mother fuck I can't believe it. All right, that's fucking sick. That's incredible So one of the chat said do you know your underwear is hanging from the railing?
Starting point is 00:51:25 So this is not a sustainable model you know your underwear is hanging from the railing. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha because he margined by the bacon. That's hurting me. Yeah. All right. Holy shit. He's got to be, he's got to be trolling us. This has to be just a fucking ass. That's true that props to him because. Yeah. What he needs to do is he needs to catch some raindrops at his funnel because this is not going very well. He's got five people supporting him on Facebook.
Starting point is 00:51:42 Yeah. We need to see like we need he needs to show the washboard that he's scrubbing the clothes by hand with that are that's that's in there in that shot too. And then he hangs him up on the on the railing. Jesus. Well, we talked about how we had a cancel showtime in stars to save some money. That's not always doing to save money now. As soon as the wife and kids left for Wildwood for almost a wait, they're they're gone about four or five days. I turned the AC off in the house immediately.
Starting point is 00:52:13 Oh, no, I got a family that loves their AC. And I was brought up with no AC out there in centerport long, Gailand, me and my my siblings, we had a share of fan. That's funny, Opiolea, one fan now. We're all thinking it. That's his Harry the Hater act.
Starting point is 00:52:39 And I was it. Well, this thing was like, oh, if you want to get in on this with us, I mean, you're welcome, my friend. Well, have you I'm a lot some of these clips Fuck so he's turned off his AC. He's got a word of showtime. He's not usually gets drier Obviously this guy's doing anything in cut to cut Gordon I think it's gonna become one of those minimalist people Defeated with this lifestyle. Yeah, sure people? Do you familiar with this lifestyle?
Starting point is 00:53:02 Yeah, I sure am. I'm not sure. I'm just giving it all the shit and keep it simple. Just just keep life as simple as possible. I want to see minimalist OP. Oh God, the family will leave so fast. Yeah, I'm guessing you'd have to get rid of one of the multi-million dollar homes.
Starting point is 00:53:18 Yeah, I think to live the minimalist lifestyle, that's one of the things you have to do. So then Mike Stenzel pops on and tells OP that he should write a book because OP's had such a fascinating life as we all know. So I guess someday someone will go through all my podcast and write a book because a lot of the stories are in there. The fact is, last time I checked,
Starting point is 00:53:44 last time I checked, they weren't, they weren't paying no money for anyone to write a book. You just don't make money writing a book these days. You don't. That's definitely true. But the guy goes, you should write an autobiography because I tell all the stories of the podcast, someone else can go write that book. No one's going to write that book, Opie. He's lazy and he's indignant during the whole explanation. Nobody's got that. I'm half pissed off at you for suggesting something that might be interesting tone of voice. Everything's dripping with this attitude, weirdo shit that people, you just want to punch him in the fucking face. Well, Eric, seriously. Imagine if you had a fan of yours,
Starting point is 00:54:26 say you should really write a book that would be interesting. It'd be a great summer read. I think people would be really interested in that. And your response was fuck you. I mean, I'm thinking of this like, oh, that's cool. I appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:54:38 Maybe I look so in Eric would say though. Oh, yeah, don't get me started. Yeah, Opie. It's like, if I'm not doing it, it's for a reason. Yeah, if I'm doing it, don't tell me how to do it. Yeah, you're out, insufferable. I know. He goes on to explain that the most he can make
Starting point is 00:54:54 from a book deal is $100,000 and 10% goes to the agent and the taxes. He's doing all that math that you do when you don't want to do something. Yeah, I don't get it at the day. It's only like $60,000. That sounds pretty good. I don't know. I would do that.
Starting point is 00:55:08 That sounds like a good thing, but what do I know? Do you see this, the big news, Eric Zane, that Howard Stern is going to run for president? Was that the, I have not heard that. You haven't heard that. It was trending on Twitter yesterday. No, I missed that. Well, OP comments on this and OP is one of those broken clock guys where every dog he got, I'm like, all right, this is actually a good take and I totally agree with him
Starting point is 00:55:33 out of every way. Vincent Scaremozo, I'm running for president Robin. That old gag. Yeah, I heard that. Came up on my news feed, Robin. How is threatening that he might run for president. He's not running for president. He's still hiding in his house because of the COVID. The guy isn't going to hit the campaign trail. If he has to shake people's hands. But then the media, they all buy into it. Oh my God, Howard might run for president. Shut up. How about one reporter, bro? That old gag, this is what people do to get attention because they know that everyone will make that their headline.
Starting point is 00:56:13 His eyes are so swollen. Do people just punch him out? Yeah. A punchable face in the world. That's a fucking bar fight, OP. He really is. He was like, he's just getting pounded on a nightly basis and not in the fun way.
Starting point is 00:56:28 Jesus. So yes, I would see this all over Twitter. Howard and Nelson drew it for President. I'm like, why are you even posting this? For some reason, Howard is no listeners anymore. And the only time you hear about him is when he's trending on Twitter over Nonsense, he says on his show, he has the best PR firm in the world.
Starting point is 00:56:43 The fact that people are putting it out there and caring about anything that Howard has to say is insane. Howard's obviously not running for president. He wouldn't have a chance of he. He ran for governor of New York in what the late 80s, early 90s. I mean, this is, this is an old bit. It is an old bit. It is an old bit. And it's, it gets rehashed every single every few years. There's always somebody, my God. You remember the California gubernatorial elections of the recall elections? Yeah, they always have the porn star. Some fucking, you know, Jesus Mary Carrier, I think it was what I was running for that. I can't believe she
Starting point is 00:57:19 didn't win. So of course, stuttering John Melendez put a tweet out because he also has a dalt and he writes, please don't get me wrong. I do appreciate Howard for standing up against the corrupt fascist lying party known as the GQP. I really do. He has been spot on with his anger directed at these religious fanatics. Howard, why not come on my show at Stern Show,
Starting point is 00:57:44 at Gary Delabate, hashtag Howard Stern. So fucking numb nuts over here, thinks like, oh, you're running for president. I have you guys, I guess that my show, we have a whole political show out here. Like, he actually tagged Gary Delabonte and it is if they're going to be like, I don't know Howard, strategically, this is the right move. Got a compelling argument. We got to get you on, we're going to get on slurring John, then we got to get you with games and just into DC.
Starting point is 00:58:09 So he's got connections. That ship has sailed so long ago, I can't believe even as a nerve to, to even reach out to the home bearer. It's embarrassing. It's embarrassing. And yet I'm glad he did. So I mentioned that Opie was doing his Harry the Hater voice earlier. And actually with that fan joke, it was pretty good.
Starting point is 00:58:30 So in this clip, watch this closely because OP sees a comment come up. He assumes that it's a troll or a hater and then realize it was actually a fan of his. And changes his tune very quickly. Now you can afford $789. Oh, very nice. Sorry. Yeah. Yeah. I can't. I get a four and a dozen fans. A bankers doesn't have that. Oh, yeah. You're right. I get pretty. It's a good day. It's awesome. Jesus.
Starting point is 00:59:04 So you heard at the beginning there, Opie's singing the Rolling Stones and he doesn't know the lyrics, Taddy thing. And I don't know if he knows the lyrics too, anything. Starts doing its job. Summer breeze. Bum bum bum bum bum. Yeah, the summer breeze guy died. Buh, buh, buh, buh. You know, the summer breeze guy, Jim Seals.
Starting point is 00:59:29 He goes, I don't know if it was Seals or Crofts. But what did they die? And what are the listeners wrote? It was Seals, he was clubbed to death. And I was like, that's a good joke, Alfie, but he didn't pick up on that, of course. No way. That's fucking Jesus.
Starting point is 00:59:45 What does he know the lyrics to? So that he takes a coffee break. Coffee. Yeah, this is so funny because this is 19 minutes into do a livestream. Now Eric, you have like a gallon jug of water over there. You've seen me sipping off my glass over here. I try to like be prepared to sit down for more than
Starting point is 01:00:02 like 15 minutes at a time. What we're doing these shows, but Opie get here. Sure. Get him bothered with that. Let me get another cup of coffee. Coffee. Look at the ocean. I'll be right back for the newbies.
Starting point is 01:00:14 This takes literally a minute and you can do some ohms and look at the ocean. All right. I'll be right back. Summer breeze. He has to be a joy around the house. How come he's not the victim of domestic violence? I'm waiting to hear logic is. Yeah. If I saw a headline with the words OP murder and suicide and I would not be surprised at all and I would know exactly what happened
Starting point is 01:00:47 He wouldn't I would need to read the article like yep, I get it The big perfect sense. Yeah, it's funny is he's talked about being cash poor while we wait for OP to come back Yeah, let's talk to books ourselves air I want you fucking sell one of those places you'd have enough money to live for the rest of your life. What are you doing? Well, I don't think that that's part of the contract he has with the family. Would be my guess.
Starting point is 01:01:15 That would be a tough conversation to have. She's gonna leave him. She is going to leave him. He's going to leave him. He's going to leave him. If I'm picking a place, I'm picking the house with a parking spot. That's where he should be living right now.
Starting point is 01:01:26 He's got a driveway. He could broadcast from the driveway. Yeah. That seems like the way to go. But open back. Open back. There. So, open while he was gone.
Starting point is 01:01:39 This guy, uh, footer K writes a to comment that OP has to respond to. Okay, now that he's gone, let's figure out what happened to the way he talks. I don't understand where, oh, it's footer. Another fucking hater. What's wrong with the way I talk? I explained, I don't know a while ago, that my voice is, my voice is pretty shot from doing a lot of years of radio. And I guess that's one of the things you can make fun of, I don't know a while ago that my voice is my voice is pretty shot from doing a lot of years of radio
Starting point is 01:02:06 And I guess that's one of the things you make fun of I don't know No, good old footer. I remember when you were one of the good guys footer. What happened to you? Did you drink some stupid cool aid? Buying into the lies and the BS out there is that you know? I love this idea that he's being manipulated by people like me to think, you know, through the lies that we tell him, to think that Opie's not going to broadcast he's like, well, no, there's just evidence of it. Like we're just showing people, we're not trying to radicalize an audience against you,
Starting point is 01:02:42 Opie. We're just pointing out that you suck at this. What's wrong with the way I talk? What do you mean? It's evidence, but evidence that he's recording himself. Yeah, I know. He's compiling. He's just, yeah, and just the suggestion that because he had a job that requires some degree of talking during a radio show
Starting point is 01:03:03 in which he gets breaks to not talk has somehow fried his voice like drinking acid is the dumbest thing ever. People do this all the time. Yeah. It's not like he was doing anything spectacular. Just doing a fucking show. So what? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:20 The play by play guy for the Buffalo Sabers is in his late 70s and just finally retired this year. I'm pretty sure Opie could be a morning jock and make it into his 50s with his voice attacked, but maybe not. So then Opie talks about his days in the fraternity at Jedisio and this guy footer who we've established just kind fucking with him, says, I was in a fraternity in high school. It was actually a gang. And I think footers just trying to have a little fun with that. Well, Opie takes this seriously.
Starting point is 01:03:53 And he's like, all right, good. These are things that we can talk about, footer, now you're getting it. Yeah, footer, do this. Give me stuff that's fun that we can fucking play off. Instead of the garbage that let all the other assholes out there play with that garbage Where they talk about my my hair loss as I look My crooked tea the boobs don't forget their boobs hoping I get man boobs again
Starting point is 01:04:21 Let's do this So open all this on things and he's like participating in a positive way on his show. Yeah, this is great. I need friends. Give me something I can use it. I can do a wacky voice. You know, I can play off of a something. All right, so this is the last clip that I have here, Eric. And they're talking about, you know, a Roe v Wade and all that kind of stuff.
Starting point is 01:04:48 I'm not gonna get into any of that. But OP's thought is we should be encouraging adoption more. And there should be more incentives to put children up for adoption and things like that. And then he tells the story about somebody he knows. And he says that it was discovered after they adopt the child, that this person is part African-American. This is the most insane story,
Starting point is 01:05:12 and I'm sure he's making this up, but just check it out. They were not happy that they found out that there was a little something, something, and the kid they just adopted. You ready for this? You ready for this? You ready for this? They gave the kid back.
Starting point is 01:05:39 I'm not going to lie to you. The replacement kid, um, I got along with the replacement kid was very, very cool, very, very cool, very, very nice. I like her a lot, but the original, they gave back. How do you do that, Jesus? So what Opie just admitted is that he's friends with racists, like actively friendly with people who are obviously racists. Doesn't that seem a bit odd?
Starting point is 01:06:07 Something, something. The kids got a little something, something, something going on. I mean, that's even worse. Yeah. A lot of fucking bad. Yeah, no shit. The kids got a little something, something going on. Let me just say that if the kid would get pulled over, he gets shot.
Starting point is 01:06:24 Yeah, give us a few more clues here, what you're talking about. I just thought that was the most insane thing. There's no way that's true. These people just returned their kid. They're like, yeah, we didn't like it. Can we get another one? Sure, that's fine. Yeah, I don't think it works that way.
Starting point is 01:06:38 And he's like, yeah, they're really good friends of ours. Yeah, this is coming from the guy who tried to return wine and bagels. Yeah, the truck. You're right. 32 wine and bagels. Yeah, the You're right 32 dollars for bagels World works and the uncomfortable laughing afterwards me As full All right, Eric. I think it's time for You're not cringe of the week this week, my friends.
Starting point is 01:07:07 Ah, fuck! I will tell you this now, cringe of the week this week comes from me. This was not sent into me. This is something I happen to hear last night on a show that I listen to. This is the Drew and Mike show. They have this guy on John Witts.
Starting point is 01:07:25 And John Witts is in charge of some festival that's coming up at Royal Oak. You familiar with Royal Oak? It's a nice neighborhood, nice area near Detroit, Detroit suburb. And for some reason, they're on a podcast. And I realize that there's a local connection here with Detroit with this podcast. But Drew's that there's a local connection here with Detroit with this podcast,
Starting point is 01:07:45 but you know, Drew's always talking about going up against the national shows and where they rank and how come he doesn't have as many Twitter followers and so and so. And this might be part of it when you talk about the parking situation at the festival that you're promoting, followed by Drew's dog jumping in your lap. People have been using the meter, so I go down there, and for all the complaints, people are using them. They're full of people. I just want to say, I figured it out, and I felt like Einstein afterwards, because I'm
Starting point is 01:08:18 usually really lousy and stuff like that. I just don't have the attention span. It's not that. It's not that hard. It's not that hard. And there's no question that so the backing in isn't the biggest line because people don't want to back in have parking decks that even have a better price than the meters. And that's going to be my closing point. But we but what's not okay is the mischarges and stuff like that. And the season is
Starting point is 01:08:40 iring out those things. That's over. I mean, they're working. Yeah, they're really close to getting that knocked out. But the biggest thing is, people give take shots at where they look, but they don't give them credit. Oh, sorry, Lila. They don't give them credit. There's a dog in my crotch looking for chips. So, so the, you're going to have to desalt. I'm gonna have to desalt. I'm gonna have to desalt. I'm gonna have to desalt.
Starting point is 01:09:05 So, so, so, so, so the, uh, Drew, I love you, bye. We're in job the week. I got my own. This one, I had for some time with this guy, trying to promote this festival and Royal Oak, while a dog is jumping all over him and attacking its crotch, which, uh,
Starting point is 01:09:23 Oh my god. Died of my content. Well, you know, it happened. It happened. I can't believe you're going after Drew. I knew you'd take the fuck with you. I knew what the fuck. I knew what the fuck. What a cock. What a cock. I knew it. I knew it. How dare you, you dumb motherfucker. Okay. It's no balls whatsoever. I need to do that. All right, Eric. I noticed you pulled a couple of additional clips Outside of the realm of opi Yeah. What are you checking out with our friend, Senator John? If I'm Joe Biden, I'm like, John, do not defend me when I fall off a fucking bike.
Starting point is 01:10:23 Yeah. Listen to John struggle is way through this because someone mentioned it. And you know, I mean, even anybody, Joe Biden is probably like, yeah, that was fucking crazy and stupid. I look like such an asshole. Yeah. And I mean, because if you, if you were to actually watch when he did do that, he come to a stop, he came to a stop. The left foot came out of the cage and the foot went on the ground.
Starting point is 01:10:49 He's leaning on that foot somehow. He managed to fuck that up and then he's on the ground. So there's no way around it. It was, it was absolutely hilarious. It's like he was popping a wheelie over a ramp. And then he just to fall off his bike. He could only came to a stop and then it's slow. But you just tipped over on his side.
Starting point is 01:11:09 It was spectacular. It was very spectacular. But John is offended that someone would mention that and his way of defending Biden is by like, Oh, yeah. Well, Donald Trump, I bet he couldn't, you know, he's doing this whole thing. That is my cut number 16. Biden fell off his bike. Ha ha.
Starting point is 01:11:32 Yeah. Hey, at least Biden could ride a bike. At least Biden could drive the car. The only thing Donald Trump could do and he does doesn't badly, is drive a golf ball. So please, please. Wait, didn't Trump just get a hole in one recently? It was like, national news. It just seemed like he was searching for the insult better.
Starting point is 01:11:55 Yeah, well, at least Biden couldn't ride a bike. Yeah, Biden might have fallen off a bike that was stationary, but Trump only averages 182 on his drive. So, anybody knows when you bike like that, you have these spikes that lock in to the pedals. And it's not easy getting them out of the pedals. So for any idiot that thinks that somehow bite and you know, having dementia,
Starting point is 01:12:27 then you are just in fact that an idiot. I want to hear this new spin-off show where John talks about sporty equipment. What are you all about that? I just had the urge, like, like someone needed to punch the words out of them during that whole thing because he was like stab, stab, stab, stab. And also Eric, is anyone pointing out that anything to do with dementia? I don't think that's what anyone's saying on this one. When he doesn't know what he's talking about, we think that's dementia when he falls up his bike.
Starting point is 01:12:59 He's just an old man. He's just a people old man. He's just a bunch. He's just a bunch. Yeah. John also is, he does a lot of things that kind of discuss me. And one, you know, there's there's this one is my cut number 15. I've never felt anything but gross when I hear someone begging for money cut number 15. Well, John, this broadcast, you can support my page by
Starting point is 01:13:22 sending stars. A digital gift that helps me earn money. Yeah. Help me out. And there's the link if you want to donate. Having got much PayPal's lately. PayPal.me slash John Melinda's Inc. What a hassle. I pay me.
Starting point is 01:13:39 I haven't gotten much PayPal's. Could he make it any more uninviting? Yeah. And also, he never thinks for a second, maybe I should be doing a better job. I've gotten much pay pals. Could he make it any more uninviting? Yeah, and also he never thinks for a second, maybe I should be doing a better job. What am I doing wrong? He always just puts it on everyone else like, no one's even giving me money.
Starting point is 01:13:53 Just your show sucks. Try being likeable. You're pushing people away with your shitty content and your shitty behavior at the top of it. I only made it through his little opening monologue, which consisted of the, the, reading the comments, doing his little roll call and then he handed it off to some person who actually is good at speaking. And then you don't hear from John for the rest of the
Starting point is 01:14:13 show. But leading up to that, someone suggests, mentions the Robert Schmeigel getting arrested and lost that. He's a doctor, I read smile. Uh, this is a cut number 14. I don't know if you knew this, but Robert Smigel didn't say hi to him once at the tonight's show. And John will never forget it.
Starting point is 01:14:35 Oh, yeah, there's a snub that Smigel will, uh, rule the day. Yeah. Johnny Headsburg, triumph the insult comic dog was arrested last night at the Capitol. Yeah, Johnny Heizler. You know what? Smagel, I don't care. I don't care. You're doing my act. He's still doing it. Come on, man. Try him. Bob, you'll copy into Stuttering John thing.
Starting point is 01:14:52 Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:15:01 I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Oh man, try him. Bob, you're copying the stuttering John thing. You know that, I know that, we all know that. Why is he continuing with this? This is not a winning formula for him. Yeah, I, I consider the fact that that bit is a funny
Starting point is 01:15:23 a puppet. It's off the cuff and the guy who's doing the puppet is also coming up with the lines. John didn't even come up with the fucking lines when he did the bit. He was just reading shit that the the fight in comics wrote for him. Triumph can talk to people we've never heard of and make it very funny. Whereas John would only talk to celebrities and that's why it was funny because normally you don't ex celebrities if they're farts smell. But for some reason, John thinks that, by the way, John's bit wasn't original. He didn't come up with it. He's admitted this many times and it was Howard's idea.
Starting point is 01:15:56 He didn't write the jokes. Fred and Jackie did. And he's sitting here complaining and saying that Robert Spigel still was bit. And also, this is Robert Smigel's only thing. Robert Smigel is a well-accomplished comedic writer who's been on numerous shows running tons of bits and sketches, and this fucking asshole's just like, he wouldn't even have a career for me. We all know that.
Starting point is 01:16:16 Wait, what? Hey, can you explain to me because you listened to more of him than I do? Who are the, I think they're called the Midas Touch Brothers. Yeah, the Midas Touch Brothers. So they're a super pack and they're a democratic super pack. They raise a bunch of money and they spend it foolishly. For example, when I was in Vegas, it wasn't long after the last presidential election. And they have this huge video screen that is, I mean, it probably rivals the size of the video screen
Starting point is 01:16:47 where the cowboys play, it's huge. And it's got this big thing that says we did it and it shows Biden and Harris, and it's celebrating the fact that they won the presidency. I don't know who this is for, you can't vote anymore. They won, it's over, it just says we did it, and it's got the Midas touch brothers logo on it, and I'm like, they're just wasting people's money. That's an expensive ad spot
Starting point is 01:17:08 They just say like hey, guess what guys the people we are rooting for to win the election won the election if these people are just Wasting money anyway, that's good. Do these do these people speak to him? Yeah, they go on a show from time to time What the fuck yeah Always amazed at how people want to show from time to time. What the fuck? Yeah. And I was amazed at how people want to associate with him. Well, they don't, they don't go on to show much anymore. They used to a lot. And I think there's a connection between Michael Polpock and Stuttering John and the Midas Touch Brothers.
Starting point is 01:17:35 So I think that's how we got to know them. And you know, a lot of people are just fans of the Howard Stern show. And so, right. Oh, Stuttering John. Cool. Yeah. I want to talk to Stuttering John. They don't realize it's been going on for the last five, six years. So they get out there. They're
Starting point is 01:17:49 like, Oh, shit. What's happening? Wow. Remarkable, absolutely remarkable. When he starts to show occasionally, he has music, okay? And he has this song that he plays. It's not on every show, but it was on this one. I've heard it before. But he hasn't figured out yet that the way his setup is whenever anything is fed through and has that weirdo internet-y sound where you really can't decipher what the fuck it is. Sounds like a really little bit rate or some shit like that. That is, if you could, this is my cut number number 13, that's his intro song. Nothing, nothing about this fucking thing. Sounds good in any way. I'm even every way possible.
Starting point is 01:18:46 Even if it sounded good, it's shit. It doesn't sound good, it doesn't look good. The microphone he's using is disgusting. We've all pointed that out. You mentioned the Midas touch brothers. Those guys were frequent guests of... Senator John Fek John says they got their start on his show. It needs to reason why they're successful.
Starting point is 01:19:09 Today, even though all of them had careers long before they started doing the amount of sessions for those podcasts or creating the Super PAC. But sure, it's all because Senator John, now they have a network, which John is on, which is funny, on their network is the Tony Michaels podcast. And Tony Michaels is a guy that I could give two shits about until he started pretending that we're embarrassing
Starting point is 01:19:34 and that he's super cool. Oh. And when that happened, all of a sudden, things started coming to light. Like the fact that Tony Michaels thinks he's a digital marketing expert, and he had a podcast about digital marketing called The Gears.
Starting point is 01:19:53 And I brought this up on the last episode. I have another episode. So he talked about funnels and raindrops. Mm-hmm. And there was some big concepts going on. I hope people can wrap their brains around those. Well, in this next episode that's called is a quiz funnel, the only funnel you need for your business.
Starting point is 01:20:14 All right, and I can tell by the look at your face, Eric, you're already confused. This is gonna get to some really deep knowledge of marketing and business in general. So I'll do my best to hold everyone's hand through this. So I could kind of decipher what Tony's trying to say. I'm excited. It starts off.
Starting point is 01:20:34 This is how the show starts. Good morning, everybody. This is Tony Michael with the New Year's podcast. Today, we are going to talk about quiz funnels. And are they the best funnels? Are they? I don't know. Let's get it started. Good morning, everybody. It's Stoney Michaels with the Gears Podcast. This is going great. Just said that. If you're in show of your shows going to be good morning, this is Tony Michael from the Gears Podcast, then don't when you record the show say,
Starting point is 01:21:00 good morning. This is Tony Michaels from the Gears podcast. It's only been established. Just start. Just get after you do it. The thing is about that. I'm glad you bring that up because I think shows you spend too much time with all the basic shit that they've already read before they even fucking hit play. Yes. What he does on this show is he goes for a walk every morning and he carries his phone around with them and records into his phone and then puts that out as a podcast. And he's not in good shape. So he's like, I do mock like Chad do mock, but Tony Michaels is out of shape and a little overweight, very breathy and everything moves very slowly with this guy. So I just want to warn you up front,
Starting point is 01:21:47 he's not a good broadcaster in any way. So he wants to talk about quiz funnels and he starts off talking about how he learned about them. I finished up my quiz funnels workshop on digital marketers. Lab. And I wanted to talk about it this morning. Okay, so Tony is a member of digitalmarketer.com
Starting point is 01:22:14 and within this website there's the lab section and if you become a member of that, you could check out all these courses and I found the course that he's talking about and it retails for $295. All right, Eric, you love to take this workshop, this online workshop, it would cost you about $300. And let me read you the description of this.
Starting point is 01:22:36 Build a quiz to attract new qualified leads. Leverage your very own quiz funnel to generate thousands of Red Hot leads for your business. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. And I always think that when you're teaching me about something that I could use to help market my business and grow my business, I wanna have things in all caps like thousands.
Starting point is 01:22:59 Cause I know what you're- Gets a jet. The other way I know that this is legit, the digitalmarketer.com and their lab to learn how to become a digital marketer, the Tony subscribes to, they have another workshop here called Launch a Successful Podcast that grows your brand.
Starting point is 01:23:15 Oh. Go from zero to podcast pro as we cover everything you'll need to execute to launch the first five episodes of your show. I think I should take this course. Yeah, so he's Mr. I can do anything for I can teach you anything and then he attaches a price tag to it. It could be, oh, no, this is not Tony.
Starting point is 01:23:36 Tony's taking these courses. Okay, I got you. And then he learns from those courses and podcasts about it. So for me, Eric, I wouldn't even waste my time in one of these workshops. But what Tony does is he thinks it's so good that he not only waste his time, he wants to waste your time with that. So I didn't see the actual workshop, but I get to hear second hand from Tony, what happened. And I want you to know how important this actually is.
Starting point is 01:24:03 It's very, very, very, very important. Oh, okay. There's four values. That's really important. Oh, fuck. Just telling you, so basically he's regurgitated in what he learned and that's his podcast. Yes, precisely.
Starting point is 01:24:20 And- With a fun, quick listen to this. So according to him, this quiz funnel that you have prospects take, it already become qualified leads, you ask them the right questions, but then you also have to pay attention to their answers, because that will give you information about this prospect
Starting point is 01:24:36 that will help you close the sale. Is this, are you following this? This is pretty basic shit, right? Mm-hmm. So he actually says that and then says it again and then says it again. You also have to listen to what the customer is saying when they answer those questions. What I mean by that is that you can't just ask the questions that ignore their answer. Yeah, we know we got it. Yeah, I know how listening works. Right. What I mean by that is pay attention
Starting point is 01:25:06 to what they're saying with the answer. Yeah, no, I got it. He's used to people not listening to them. Yeah, no shit. Did you ask the questions? Did you ask the questions? What were the answers? I don't know.
Starting point is 01:25:17 So who cares? People are looking at their watch, looking at their phone, and they're like, Tony's talking to God, looking at the sky, everything's boring. So according to Tony, because he just took this course on line and that was an expert on
Starting point is 01:25:30 this, he's telling you that you can learn about what people's pain points are and what solutions they'll need, what solutions you could sell them if you listen to their answers. And that sounds very confusing. I know. So there's an analogy here that makes it easier for you to understand. Okay, it is a sales funnel, but it does a couple different things, I think. Number one, you can kind of hide that whole sales thing, right? We're not really selling you something, just asking you some questions for you to get a diagnosis. Right? Maybe it's like going to the doctor, you have a sore knee or your ankle hurts or you have this pain in your shoulder. And they ask you a series of questions to figure out what's wrong with
Starting point is 01:26:23 whatever it is you have wrong. Slow down. And based on the questions that they ask and the listening that they do to your answers, they can diagnose or get a general diagnosis of your problem. Oh, I get it now. So we're doing the same thing in sales. Yeah. No, shits. I got it. It's not a difficult the same thing in sales. Yeah, no shit. I get it.
Starting point is 01:26:46 It's not a difficult concept to correct. Maybe it is for him. It must be hard for him because he's like, all right, let me say this slower. Yeah, he's killing time. He's got to just be killing time. These are 15 minute long episodes. It's not like he's trying to fill an hour or something.
Starting point is 01:27:01 I don't know what he's doing. He's, but when I always think, because I've been to a lot of these kind of workshops and seminars and things, and I hate when people talk about conceptually how to grow your business or your customer base. Like I want to know specifically, like how do I apply this to my business?
Starting point is 01:27:18 And thankfully, Tony gives us a real example. We can sink our teeth at do quite literally. Maybe you're offering them a way to get a piece of information that they want. For example, maybe it's, they're trying to grow tomato plants. And they're having a tough time with their tomato plants. The blue jay. That was the blue jay. So what you do is you ask him a series of questions
Starting point is 01:27:50 through the quiz. Oh, that's a very nice truck that you've throw by. Oh, my god. It got to him. Blue jay. Fuck some up and then the fucking truck. I like the Eric. You're so bored. You're like trying to pick up
Starting point is 01:28:08 I what bird that one? Not every not I like how everything needs an example of thorough A thorough unpacking of nearly every single customer can't grow a tomato plant. We then your customers are retarded You're a customer can't grow a tomato plant. We then your customers are retarded. Yeah. I mean, those things will grow anywhere. It's not not difficult. That's the example he came up with. It must have been in the course he took on line. I know. I love this guy. I mean, I've love every second of this podcast when we when they're listening to it or doing it. But this right here, what's happening right now? I know.
Starting point is 01:28:43 It's been my favorite thing so far. I'm a big fan of Tony Michaels as well. I only point out the obvious to us. Oh my God. Makes me very happy. I mean, part of me wants to try to do an impression of his of his analogies, but I think that it would be so he doesn't perfect. But you can't operate it. Right. He doesn't perfect as it is. You can't orient it. Right, that's like, like, so let's say for example,
Starting point is 01:29:07 that you wanted to give information to someone who can't grow a tomato plant. Like, that would be my goof on him, but that's literally what he just said. Yeah, it's already perfect. And anyone who tries it, it would tank. It just, the joke wouldn't land it anyway. It's too wonderful. It's already perfect and anyone who tries it, it would tank. It just, the joke wouldn't land it anyway. It's too wonderful.
Starting point is 01:29:28 It's perfect. I love him. Eric, I don't know, man. Maybe I'm a perfectionist, but I'm editing out the whole part where the truck drives by and I comment on how it's a nice truck. I'm just pulling that out and post. I just just not necessary. That was wonderful.
Starting point is 01:29:43 That was wonderful. I'm so happy that you picked up on that. Now, when it came to finding that was just accidental and you're like, oh my God, this is gold. I mean, that's awesome. Muttering Jay on Twitter did some investigating because these guys found out I have a digital marketing background and they said that marketers are people
Starting point is 01:30:04 who steal from people. They had some negative things to say about people who are marketing profession. So this was both Tony and Gabe. So then my buddy, modern J on Twitter did some deep dive investigation and discovered that this guy has a marketing podcast and the other guy has a degree in marketing. So it's kind of faulty that they were trying to clown me for having a marketing background. That is excellent. Okay, so once you understand why they can't grow tomatoes, forget the Chris three joining us. Oh, we're still on tomatoes. We're still talking about tomatoes. Get over here. All right, so now you might say I still don still understand how this turns into having a business or how you
Starting point is 01:30:48 would make any money off of this. Well, he's got the answer for that. The internet email, you email on the piece of information that you're in their inbox and that's really where you want to be because remember we're building our list. And then you give them the diagnosis on the aside with maybe a preloaded video based on what their answers to their questions was, maybe they're watering it too much. So you give them a video of why you think it is that you're what that they're not having their plants be the way they want them to be. And then you offer them a book, an ebook on how to grow tomato plants.
Starting point is 01:31:29 This is a really dumb thing to do. So what he's saying is that you're gonna find out someone has a problem growing tomato plants and you have the solution. So then you send them a video explaining this. This is for free. And then you say, and you could download our e-book. Why are you saying that a video explaining how to fix their problem and they tell you to get an e-book
Starting point is 01:31:52 from that? That sounds backwards to me. Like, you've already given them the solution. And now you want to sell them something? It's a horrible business model that you have. He seems like a kind of like a flimplam man who his idea of getting people to spend money is of the belief that the more time they have invested in whatever it is, are trying to figure out, in this case, grow a tomato plant, the better chance you have of them buying your shit, which no one fucking does that. Because if anybody wants to find anything out in three seconds, they're going to have a YouTube video of it and that's the end of it. Yeah, but if you can get into their inbox, Eric, that's where you want to be because I was looking
Starting point is 01:32:34 through some of the topics and descriptions of these various episodes of the Gears podcast. And this one jumped out at me. There's an episode called FBHack using FB groups to build your email list, exclamation point. And it says, today Tony Michaels talks about building your list. The most important thing in business is to have a list. No, the most important thing in business is to have a good product, you fucking retard. The, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, as long as you have a list product. You fucking retard. The, this guy thinks that like,
Starting point is 01:33:05 as long as you have a list of people that you can email, and nauseam, though eventually become your customer, when he tried to sell them, I wanna show them how to water a tomato point. Well, guess what? You're not gonna make a lot of sales on that, because at their point of doubt, people will figure that one out.
Starting point is 01:33:20 There's 30 tutorials out there on that one. Oh my God. Fucking idiot. What would that video be that he would sense just somebody watering or not watering? Well, what would this solution be? This is great because he goes on about more of how to turn this into an actual business model.
Starting point is 01:33:36 So you sent them the video. And then with the video you say here's an e-book that you can get, you already have their kind of information. So, but you're sending them more stuff for some reason. And then this is how you really connect with the customer. And then maybe we have some upsells on the offer and maybe downsell. And then maybe you decide you want to sell a webinar to consult with them personally, or a phone call to consult with them personally, to follow up on their book and their diagnosis that
Starting point is 01:34:06 they had. Right? Beautiful. Right? Right? So somebody that's not a great made a plan, so you send them a video and then you give an ebook and then you say, hey, do you want to pay me to talk to me directly? If they still have a figure that out at this point, they're not going to grow tomatoes.
Starting point is 01:34:26 It's just not the hate cards for them. I love that all of this in Tony Michaels dumb mind, all of this gets to being a consultant for a client, which good on you if that's what you want to do with your life. But I thought he was going to tell us a way that we could grow a business like scales. You can't scale that, Tony. You can only sell the amount of time you have. This strikes me as a type of thing
Starting point is 01:34:48 that whoever would listen to it, if they did make it that far, that would be the last time they would listen to Tony Michaels. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, this is great. So after he explains all of this, which I've been trying to recap for us as we go. He decides that he needs to repeat all of this again. Tell me about your problem. And in that, I will give you a free diagnosis of your problem. And then I'll provide a piece of content that's very valuable that will probably help you with your problem. And here's a couple of upsells on that piece of content.
Starting point is 01:35:22 I'll help you with your problem as well. Right? Pretty sexy, huh? No. I like to keep saying upsells. He says these words. I don't think he knows how to actually apply them in any type of business.
Starting point is 01:35:35 He's like, hey, some upsells have a downsell. And I've been in business a long time. Downsell is something I wasn't familiar with. Are you familiar with what a down sell is, Eric? No, no, what is it? All right, so it's actually, it's used by, like, used car salesman and shit. It's when you get a customer in who can't afford
Starting point is 01:35:53 the thing you're trying to sell them, and then you go, oh, well, actually, we have a piece of shit over here that you can't afford if you want to buy that stuff. Like a down sell should never be your strategy. How successful were you? Well, I don't, I doubt told a lot of people, some shit that I had lying around.
Starting point is 01:36:08 So that's pretty good. I don't think you understand any of this shit. And he's he's telling this to us, like this is going to blow our mind like, oh my God, I'm so glad you went on digitalmarketer.com to word all of this stuff from an online workshop and then spread your knowledge out to us. It's ego. This is all ego. He's had some success at some point doing something and now his ego is getting in the way of actually
Starting point is 01:36:33 making sense. So then he goes on to explain who we learned all of this from. But the quiz final does a really good job and really the training on digital market or lab in the workshops area. If you ever had a yet a chance to watch that training, it's fantastic. It's the guy who actually owns Bucket I.O. Bucket.io, which is a quiz survey software. So it's kind of like the front end of what's actual crickets. Some other funnels, softwares. Actually, well crickets. I think I heard a tumbleweed. It's a goddamn cricket. All right, you need this. You need this. Here we go. This one's for you.
Starting point is 01:37:22 So I actually listen to what he had to say there. And what he just said was this workshop was so great, it was presented by a guy who's the CEO of a company called Bucket.io that sells quiz funnel software. So this doll doesn't realize that he's the one being sold to and he's sitting there going, I don't know how to grow your business, I just learned want to grow your business. I just learned about this thing that you could do.
Starting point is 01:37:49 No, you're the customer idiot. Do you not realize that? You're going around telling everybody, hey, you got to buy cards from this card dealership. They gave you the best deals. Like you are a mark. You're a mark. You fucking retired. Also, this idea that he's talking about this guy who owns bucket.
Starting point is 01:38:04 I don't I don't think that was his wife's idea to catch a raindrops in a bucket with a funnel. I think he heard about it from the bucket guy. And then he might guess he owns a company called bucket. Yeah. He's giving away the secret. I tried to pretend like his wife gave us that. Now, you might think that just listening to Tony Michaels is all you need to start your very own quiz funnel.
Starting point is 01:38:28 You're best probably what I'm thinking right now. Like, okay, I got this. I could do it. But no, you gotta go to Digital Marketing Lab because you gotta did all. And again, the training and the worksheet does a really good job of constructing your quiz funnel and the order that it needs to be constructed. And so you get the correct points. It's all seamless.
Starting point is 01:38:51 All right. So you need this ditto to work off of in order to create the questions you have in a quiz funnel. Don't try it on your own. You wouldn't be able to figure it out. It's all very complicated. This guy says nothing. He's unhopeful.
Starting point is 01:39:04 I'm always going to go This guy says nothing. He's unhopeful, every single way. Yeah. Jesus. And the best part is, I love that he ends the show, asking you to subscribe to his podcast for a very good reason. I'll leave you with that. It is Sunday, I'm gonna finish up my walk here.
Starting point is 01:39:21 And don't forget to subscribe to the Gears podcast. We like to have you here. The more people we get to subscribe, the easier it's going to be to get guests on here and you can stop listening to me, rant and rave. And I can actually ask experts about some of these questions that we may have. I'll go down in some rabbit holes and teach you some things. So this is Tony Michaels with the Gears Podcast. We subscribe and we'll see you tomorrow. So we literally said subscribe to my show so that one day it'll actually be good. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:39:57 So that you will hear less of me. Yeah. He's holding him hostage. He's holding these people hostage. You really got to subscribe and listen to how shitty I am. If more of you listen to how shitty I am, you will have less shit. Yeah. He says the opposite of you, Eric.
Starting point is 01:40:12 Look, dude, this sucks. Less you, more me going forward. No offense. Tony says, what's me, more people are actually experts that better than show will be. So subscribe. So I can actually get some experts on and make this show listenable. Let's be more people are actually experts Yeah, but other than show will be so subscribe So I can actually get some experts on and make the show listenable just not the way it works at all
Starting point is 01:40:32 Eric what a fun time we had today Jesus Christ never ends. It's always fantastic a deep dive on O.B. The Drew and Mike show talking about the parking situation in royal. Yeah, I didn't like that part. It was a horror. Yeah, I think that was a great discussion that they had. You thought I was entertaining? We had obviously, centering John Melendez talking about cool Biden's or falling off his bike. We had Tony Michaels and more of his expert digital marketing
Starting point is 01:41:05 knowledge from the Gears podcast. So you know what that means? It's time for everybody's favorite part of the show. Rochelle. Rochelle. Rochelle. Rochelle. Rochelle.
Starting point is 01:41:16 Rochelle. Rochelle. Rochelle. Rochelle. Rochelle. All right. We got another suggestion from Alex in the discord review suggestions channel. And I think he might have found a winner. Pampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampampamp little bottom. What's up bottom nation? It is me actually Gavin. That was silly. I'm just
Starting point is 01:41:45 the silly Billy right now. Thanks for listening guys. What a great episode. This is with my friend Teresa. I'm gonna get out into that in a second. But if you haven't seen me live, I'm going to Virginia. I'm going to Virginia Beach and Richmond. And then I'm going to upstate New York. I'm going to a Syracuse. Oh, don't do that. I don't recommend it against that. It's a bad idea. don't do that. I don't recommend against that. It's a bad idea. This is a show called We're Having Gay Sex. We're gonna be reading the description.
Starting point is 01:42:15 After 10 years of serial monogamy, comedian Ashley Gavin trades in her U-Haul for the slut phase she missed in her early 20s. She documents every sexual detail in this podcast. Wow. Yeah. So this is a lesbian talking about having gay sex. Well, how she gonna fuck it up?
Starting point is 01:42:35 Because that actually is, you can do something good with that. It must be fucking terrible. Toon in my god. Toon in this week, I didn't find out here because I like it, tell ya. So, great premise. As you guys know, we've been doing the next week's teaser and now we go twice a week.
Starting point is 01:42:55 So, maybe it doesn't make sense to have that. So, crippled Jesus reached out to me. He put together a new jingle or sounder for this. See ya. And let me know what you guys think. If we should be using this one instead. I'll say this to start off. The one that you normally hear.
Starting point is 01:43:11 Long chance. That one is 9.8 seconds. This one is 26.8. So it might be a little like, but give it a chance. Let's see what you guys think. And actually, I'm gonna get Vic in here too. I'll get her take on this. Hi, Vic. Hi, Coral. Give it a chance. Let's see what you guys think. And actually I'm gonna get Vick in here too.
Starting point is 01:43:25 I'll get her take on this. Hi Vick. Hi Carl. All right, let's check this out. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I Here or be clear Well, that's good. I'll let the right of decide whether we want to use that. I'm the... Hey, Carl! Hi, I'm Chris! He's crippled you with that CJ. Yeah, I got a new intro for you that makes longer than me to complete a sentence.
Starting point is 01:44:21 Also, when he set this to me, he wrote in there I'm not good at using audio editing software. So that's always a good selling point. We do selling events. Oh, that sounded like fuck. That was so funny. Eric, sway you one way or another, one of your voting, I wonder if we should use that or not.
Starting point is 01:44:38 God, that was terrible. Honestly, I don't mind just using the next week's teaser, even if it doesn't make sense. I mean, the Drew and Mike show, I mean, Mike passed away years ago. I think I'm changing things. Why would I change? That's what you should focus on. All right. Well, that's what that is.
Starting point is 01:44:56 Eric, I want to thank you for coming on the show. I want to promote the Eric's Zane show. Oh, thank you. I appreciate that. Thank you so much. Just, you Oh, thank you. I appreciate that. I thank you so much. Just, you know, wherever you download podcasts there, I am.

Starting point is 01:48:06 but you're more than welcome to. This next one is this show is literally fake news by not Stuttering John. He says Tommy is not a space alien or made of clay or is real life CGI you sick of fans. He said that's libel in slander except another lawsuit coming down the pike. I'm gonna need to see this person's evidence. This is not Southern John Fella because I don't know if any of this is true. I'm gonna go with a five star in that one. That is a five star. We're killing it. This is good. Keep in common people. This last one is wow by Victory 1. They say what a horrible ripoff of the Stern show. Wait a second. I think that that's a negative review. Is that a negative review?
Starting point is 01:48:56 That is, that's a one star. That's disappointing. You know, Bitcoin always does this to us. She reads the good ones first. And then the shitty ones last like, leave a bad taste of my mouth. She likes that. She knows what she's doing. It's a format. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 01:49:13 She's the most experienced of the review girl. She knows what she's doing. Well, Vick, thank you for joining us today. I want to listen to some voice mail that we got. Starting with one from Nick Fignilli who actually attached an MP3 to an email so I'm obligated to play it as we all know. Carl Carl Carl you bastard you keep moving the goalposts. You say you feel obligated to play them when people send in audio files, touch their emails and
Starting point is 01:49:42 fine and I'm keeping this under 45, you bastard. Gary and Cardiff are the same person. That is my theory. You are silencing me on this theory now. Every week for the voicemail segment, I listen with baited breath. I used to skip the fucking voicemails. And now I'm waiting for you to fucking acknowledge
Starting point is 01:49:59 that Cardiff and Gary are the same person. He's making it so obvious. It's right in front of your face. Listen to this. It's under 45. It's not long. Right. You not even the thank you. Fuck you. By you better play this. Could have been even under 43. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:50:18 Talk about how short it was a couple of different times. So that is one of the theories out there. And maybe I'm naive to think that Gary from San Diego and Cardiff Legend are two different people. Is it true what Senator John O'Ease says that there's just 10 people who listen to where these podcasts. We've seen a lot of different email addresses. That's right.
Starting point is 01:50:38 And voices, and voices for sonas. Is that what's going on? What do you think, Vec? Do you think of the same person? No, they're definitely different. If they are the same person and Cardiff is coming to the roast, then I demand a set out of Gary from San Diego. I want him to roast us too.
Starting point is 01:50:56 And he better bring Judy. I want him to be Judy. I want him to be Judy. Judy can judge it. Yeah. Judy. Well played. John's. But they're holding up scores at the end of each
Starting point is 01:51:07 aroused. Absolutely. That's how it works, right? I guess. All right. So speaking of Gary from San Diego, he called in to give us an update. I want to go and I was uttering Johnny. Obviously pays very close attention. Hey, Carl, Gary here. Have you noticed how for the last six or seven shows John has had on as a guest or one of his guests, Richard O'Hada? That guy is like a permanent stooge for John. He's like a punching bag for John.
Starting point is 01:51:38 I think John's having a problem getting good guests. So his default guest is rich or no aida and they can't get rich or aida who go one notch lower and go for Tony Michael and Gabe Sanchez those guys are like the three stages if you put them all together anyway that's the update from fandy a go haha thank you for the update from saying the a go i didn't i didn't realize that i don't pay attention to who john's booking his guess on his show i just know it's the same people over and over again.
Starting point is 01:52:07 And by the way, Gary also called in to inform us that John has not mentioned his new agent or getting any parts, including that touring company Tutsi. Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. I think that he got to it should far. So it doesn't sound like that's going well, but we'll see. We'll keep an eye on to be a good guy. I'm going to be a good guy. I'm going to be a good guy. I'm going to be a good guy. I'm going to be a good guy.
Starting point is 01:52:32 I'm going to be a good guy. I'm going to be a good guy. I'm going to be a good guy. I'm going to be a good guy. I'm going to be a good guy. I'm going to be a good guy. I'm going to be a good guy. I'm guy, he saw that guy, that heard that guy, and I hope he went to podcast.
Starting point is 01:52:46 Well, it turns out I fucked that guy last week. Small world, eh? Yeah. Anyway, love you. Call me back. See, I would call bullshit, but it is the Bay Area. Ah, yeah. So it's possible.
Starting point is 01:53:00 You can't get enough of these calls, can't you? You want it. All right, how do people feel about Gary from San Diego? He's quickly become a regular caller participating in the show. What are people thinking? Carl, Nick from Pittsburgh here. Again, it's not that funny. If Gary is a artist, you can think, Dr. Steve is a artist.
Starting point is 01:53:22 All you want, you've heard me go through the five stages of grief just leaving you fucking voice nails over my deranged fan theory. I try to be in polite. I try to be in unhinged. If you don't want play, you don't want to play it. I get too. All right, more Gary, please. Let's do it. More Gary, I think that's the same Nick that I played previously. So he found a way out into the show twice. Good job, Nick from Pittsburgh. All right, let's find out the answer to this question. Hey, John, do you know what a DUI is?
Starting point is 01:54:01 Nah, I knew it. It means driving under the influence. Oh, what is that mean? I don't fucking know. That's a reference to IPA. Oh, yeah. And John calling out Tommy for not only an IPA stance for others. Like, what does it mean? I don't know. Why'd you bring it up? Anyway, I thought it was funny.
Starting point is 01:54:26 More about Starring Jazz lifestyle here. Yeah, I call that show today. Oh, this really calls me. Nothing says shameless alcoholic or intangible girl more than fucking Corz light. I think we can hold your hand. See you. Yeah, of course, light is, obviously they're talking about it as 18 year old girls. So they put the white, my little ponies, figurines in the 18 packs.
Starting point is 01:54:56 You see that? I don't know, I'm not following that logic, but fairly of course lights are for children. Oh, Meredith called back in. If you remember there's a thing going on, she married at the Paco and they've exchanged some words these two. Okay, it's Meredith just responding to Paco's tirade. Oh my goodness. Is he in the same boat as June Diane where somebody in third grade told him that they didn't want to be a friend, that he's never recovered from that.
Starting point is 01:55:28 That's my suspicion based on his behavior. But I'm just thinking, Paco, I think you're older than me. So I'm going to play the long game and I'm going to wait until you die. I'm not wishing death. I'm just going to wait it out. And then you can do that water cremation thing like ash talks about you know the Aquination and I'll be the one to down to your remains out of storm drain love you bye I'm errative taking the high road kind of yeah
Starting point is 01:55:57 You proactive All right balls in your court Paco wow Meredith calling her shot younger than Paco Paco's a young guy. So, I mean, I base it just out of his appearance. I saw him on a YouTube show once. Oh, that's exciting. Seems like a young man. I didn't say it was exciting. That wasn't my point.
Starting point is 01:56:21 All right, so I mentioned, this was so funny. When I went back to edit the show, I'm like, oh, you're such an idiot. When I said I read the book, dude, where's my cheese? I'm the last episode. Yeah. It's like who took my cheese or where my cheese goes? Oh, right.
Starting point is 01:56:36 Yeah. I'm pretty good at it anyway. This person had a pretty good take on that. I don't know who moved the cheese, but I know where it is. It's in Tony Michaels lower teeth. Good observation. Who moved my cheese? Yeah, I think that's what it's called.
Starting point is 01:56:54 God, I'll never figure it out. Dude, where's my cheese? Dude, where's my cheese? It's so nice to know that there's no way that's the name of a business. It can't be right. Why do they just say that out loud? I should write notes for myself before the show. I would be so much better if I did.
Starting point is 01:57:14 All right, so people have, I've heard a couple of murmurs. People complain a little bit about the ads. And I've mentioned that they're... The murmurs, yeah. Yeah, I've mentioned that they're dynamically inserted and that they target the individual. So whatever ad you're hearing is targeted to you specifically. And this guy, here's all the cool ads.
Starting point is 01:57:34 Hey Carl, I just wanted to take a moment to think from all the people complaining about one minute or so. First off, you're going to get shitty ads if you're a shitty person. Guess what I get? I get ads for Vanguard and vacation. So if you're getting ads for toothpaste, I think that says more about you than Carl's show. And secondly, it's a fucking minute you can press this give button or time, and it will be gone. Anyway, Carl, just trying to do your service. Have a good day. Don't be a faggot. Oh, she's all right, disavouch.
Starting point is 01:58:05 So yeah, if you're getting cool ads for vacations and Vanguard, then it shows you how awesome you are. So do better, everybody, if you don't like the ads that you're hearing. So that's the, that's a just of that. All right, Paco did call in a bunch of times. Here's a couple of them. Yeah, what's up, Carlos is Paco. First of all, you've got to say much rather than respect for always throwing out Simpson's references.
Starting point is 01:58:31 I love when you throw out a good Simpson's reference and it gets nothing. That's my favorite part of your show. I sometimes get about 90%. You know, maybe there's a few that slip under the radar, but the most recent one was of course the devil's advocate Oh, that's my favorite pinball machine Yeah, yeah, I see all that shit, you know thing shout out to Shout out to part of the lecture. All right later Paco gets the Simpson's references
Starting point is 01:59:03 That's good to know Paco.'ll have to hear that. We'll continue to do that. Alright, what else does he have to say? Yeah, what's up, Carl? This is Paco. I might be in a cave on this one, but isn't mothering Jay Shouly? I think somebody said that or something. I don't know. I really don't know. Shout out to Jim, cause he was the primary. You know what I'm saying? So this whole series of voicemails, Paco had a different Tommy saying to start off
Starting point is 01:59:34 at a different shout out every time to add to it. And Paco, I just can't play eight of your voicemails every episode. So it's all good stuff. But anyway, the person who said that is is Suttery John. It was accused. Muttering J. of being Shuley. And I can tell you from personal experience, Muttering J put way too much work into these tweets.
Starting point is 01:59:53 Just the work ethic alone proves to me. This is not Shuley that we're talking about. But Shuley will be out in a week from today. Shuley and Vince the attorney, former co-host of the Centering John podcast, will be on to talk about the legal ramifications of gigs getting canceled and what not. Also, I should give Julia a shout out. He just dropped it up a, I think it's the latest one right now, making fun of Centering John's podcast and some of his standup and it's hysterical.
Starting point is 02:00:22 All right. I, people are just kind of like picking up the show format. I can't blame them. I've seen a bunch of people now are talking, making fun of such a job. I'm I'm against pretty smart. Yeah. It's a good move.
Starting point is 02:00:36 Oh, the Cal photographer, Colin. Huh? Vic. Very exciting. What are your favorites? Love him. Hey, Gary. It's a cow photographer. Your neighbor sounds kind of cute. It sounds like you're in the kidnapping. I can hear it in the voice and
Starting point is 02:00:54 I know that voice. So if you could send me up, give my number to Carl and you know, we'll love a good time. Talk to you later Gary Gary. Covered, I was getting real creepy. So we started to get from San Diego because people were speculating that his neighbor was under duress. Yeah. The last time that we heard from him. What's with the-
Starting point is 02:01:16 You might dress or up as a sheep this time. Oh, yeah, he does. Other things besides cows. I think so. It's probably next. Yeah. So barnyard animals. I'm excited about kidnapping. Was any of this against your will that we should know about?
Starting point is 02:01:31 Should we be calling the authorities on this or? I don't remember most, but it's fine. It'll probably get me to it at some point. This is, I believe, God's will shitcock calling into the show to give us an important message. Hopefully this gets to the right person. Hey, Carl. This is Gonzo, your old pal. I was calling because I was seeing maybe you could help me. There's a guy that keeps calling to a Lucid or Danna show Kermit current friends every Sunday and he um he pretends to be stirring John and I love I'm a huge gambler's anonymous fan I love the dabbers you know John because shit obviously we all think he's an apple but he's so annoying like he's stuck and like he doesn't do a good
Starting point is 02:02:17 John impression and he doesn't have anything funny to say so I was hoping you to play this voice mail um on-a-t-p to tell i got to stop fucking calling because he's ruining that show but i love his i love his enthusiasm for being a dabler but it's just not it's not a good uh... you know use of his energy and in dablin and if you want to be tips to dabble you can you can message me, contact me, but I'll be open. All right, Carl, I love you. I'm making a lot of connections on this show. I think it's turning into lost connections
Starting point is 02:02:53 now. People just call like, hey, could you let someone so know? Hopefully they're listening. I would have thought of them this. All right. It's probably public airwaves. Obviously. So apparently there's a guy who's ruining Kerman and Frans with a Southern John impression. Hopefully that gets to that person. Cut it out! Hey, two months ago, you were supposed to put up a commentary track
Starting point is 02:03:17 for one too many. I signed up for the Patreon just for it. What the fuck, bro? Don't call me back. Yeah. on just for it. What the fuck bro? Don't call me back. Yeah, the thing about that is right after we did that commentary track with my friend Tony from Mac the movies, John DMCA Strike by Patreon. And I wasn't a hurry to put up his entire movie as a result of that. But I am going to put it up as I mentioned earlier on the show. So check out patreon.com slash who are these podcasts and you will get the full commentary
Starting point is 02:03:53 track. If you want to watch one too many but don't want to actually just watch one too many, that's probably a good way to do it. All right, Tucker, Dixon, called into the show. He's been all over the place lately. Let's see what angle he's got this time. So he's got an angle in this guy. Hey, Carl, Tucker Dixon.
