Starting point is 00:00:00 Hello and welcome to another episode of Who Are These Podcasts. I'm Kevin and I'm Kale. And we listen to podcasts so you don't have to. We want to remind our listeners you can visit us on whoarethese.com, our Facebook page, or on Twitter at Who Are These Pod. We're always looking for new podcast suggestions, leave us a comment, or post a death threat, or just give us some stars on iTunes that would be appreciated. Today we'll be reviewing a show called Pick Up Lines, The Good, Bad and Ugly. As always we've
Starting point is 00:00:30 listened to this episode separately. We have not discussed it with each other beforehand, so without further ad-dee. Let's find out once and for all, um, who are these podcasts? It's Showtime! W-H-P in the morning everybody. W-A-T-P! W-A-T-P in the morning. We're back, Ken and Kale are back. Ken and Kale. Ken and Kale. Yeah, we are Ken and Kale.
Starting point is 00:01:43 So you want to just address the elephant in the room right up front or what do we want to do here? Well, I feel like it was really nice of the step-by-step guys to talk about us at the beginning of their show, so we had to listen to their show to get to it. So we should probably return the favor. All right. Does that make sense? Yeah, yeah. So every now and again, someone who hosts a show that we make
Starting point is 00:02:07 Fonno gets a little buttered about it and we'll address it on their show and we'll go on iTunes and give us a negative review and say that we suck. And the step-by-step guys were the latest to do this. That was a show reviewed back at the beginning of 2017. And Kevin, I have a clip from our show that I want to play just to get this out of the way and then we'll talk about their review of our show. Okay. Very meta. It's going to get confusing. That's gonna get confusing. Yeah. Point of the track that I have, W-A-T-P, step by step clip. Oh, I love the way. Step by step is listening to this.
Starting point is 00:02:52 Feel free to goof on us right back. Then this guy does this fucking... It's horrible. Go for the man. Go for the camera. Just make any sense. Make no sense in the context of the show. So the point is that we are pretty self-aware
Starting point is 00:03:11 that we were goofing at that for all the things that we were doing and actually inviting them to rebuttal. Yeah, yeah. It's, I'm glad they did. Yeah, yeah. It was kind of hard for me, you know, listening to their, their newest episode there, where they review us and to decipher whether or not they were being extremely sarcastic with, you know, like, that they're in on it too, and they're just sort of playing along. Or were they genuinely had her feelings? I don't really know. Let's play some clips so that people can
Starting point is 00:03:53 can decide for themselves. I'm just going to go in order here. So starting off with the formal podcast etiquette, apparently, we broke a rule around the bad play track 30 I Click it and I and brought to a website of another show and then I realized this show is all about Reviewing other shows like they review other podcasts Weird that that no one notified me it like they didn't reach out and say hey, we're gonna do a review Yeah, the formal podcast etiquette. I would think it is, right?
Starting point is 00:04:31 Have we ever reached out to a show before me? No, and Kevin, you and I, we talked about this early on. We're not trying to pick fights with people. We're really just trying to entertain our audience and entertain ourselves by reviewing really shitty podcasts. It's not about hurting people's feelings. It's just about having a laugh amongst ourselves. But yeah, I feel like if we went out there
Starting point is 00:04:52 and we said, hey, guess what? We got a review up on our latest podcast about your show. We think it sucks that you guys are homosexuals. I just feel like that would be mean-spirited. Yeah, yeah, I think so. I just thought. But I do like theited. Yeah, I think so. I think so. But I do like the way that these guys sum up our show.
Starting point is 00:05:09 This is Trick to Anyone Called Summing Up W-A-T-P. Essentially, the concept of their show is it's two guys who, as far as I can tell, have no credentials beyond being two guys, sitting around in their houses, bashing other people who are doing the exact same thing. Check out the big brain on bread. That is correct sir.
Starting point is 00:05:34 It's exactly what we're doing. Exactly right. You got nailed it. This is a one show. You nailed it. They just give us new suggestions for what we could name our podcast. I have a plate track 32. And it's called, like, what's the deal with podcasts?
Starting point is 00:05:52 I think or something. Yeah. I love that they didn't name the show. Or our names properly. That's another thing I'm sure you'll get to here. But that is fun. But I want to say that the other podcast, the free forecast, was another podcast
Starting point is 00:06:11 that talked about us reviewing them on their show, and they did the same thing. They didn't say the name of our podcast, but I know from notes that we got from listeners, that people started doing some Googling and found us. So we very much appreciate the advertisement that these guys have provided. In fact, I have a track I hear I call the best advertisement for WATP Ever. Play track 37. So they take some things at a context like I mentioned at one point they pull out a clip they go hey listen to this assholes laugh.
Starting point is 00:06:44 At one point they pull out a clip they go, hey, listen to this asshole's laugh. Who is it, Google egg? What's the deal with these podcasts or whatever they think that show is called? The thing I found funny about the whole thing is like even if they were okay, so let's say they, and I'm not, certainly inviting them to do even if even if they were okay so let's say they and I'm not certainly inviting them to do this but if they wanted to take one of our old shows and review it in the style that we do so pull a bunch of clips we're obviously going to sound like huge douchebags we already sound like huge douchebags we're going to sound even worse if they're just isolating you know mead laughing or saying like a thousand times. I mean, and we,
Starting point is 00:07:27 that was one of the other things. It's hard. It was, this is, you know, pot calling the kettle black here, but I, it was hard for me to listen to this review because I want to rebuttal, I want to say something like, oh, dude, you know, you're missing the point because one of the things that they kept on harping on was like they meaning us. The our show reviews other other podcasts and mocks out the whole like radio format. But then we do the exact same format. Well, yeah, but we're, we understand that it's fucking ridiculous. That's the reason we do. We do the morning because we're, we're coming. Are you really explaining this? I'm sure. Well, I feel like I have to now because,
Starting point is 00:08:21 because you know, this isn't the first time we've heard this type of criticism where people are like these fucking guys suck because they don't even realize how ironic they don't even realize that they're doing the same thing. Yeah we do. That's the whole thing. We understand completely that it's complete fucking bullshit and that we're just making fun of all other fucking bullshit radio that's out there. We totally understand that you don't think that Carlisers sitting in a room going
Starting point is 00:08:51 Hit and buttons like you know it's just All right, well then let me Play something that goes along with that and I'm gonna set this up so These guys make fun of us because we make fun of them for doing bits. And I had to go back and listen to our show a little bit to remember what these guys sounded like. These are the guys who made up over into a podcast about can I borrow your shit. And then they did 10 minutes on borrowing a snowball. It was really just bizarre premises and things that just went nowhere. So they then make fun of us because we do the same thing.
Starting point is 00:09:32 We start goofing out of them and we go with the premise that we talked about how these guys are the guys from the Sonic commercials. So play track 36 and then I have a conspiracy theory. I want to tell you So they go oh these two remind me of the sonic guys are sitting their cars and eat hot dogs and by the way What's the deal with sitting in your car and eating a hotdog? Who does that and this goes on for a good and they do Five minutes. They do a whole bit. Yeah, I'm eating hot dogs in your car. And how who does that? Well number one I'm eating hot dogs in your car. And who does that? Well, number one,
Starting point is 00:10:04 sorry to rain on your parade, bros, but that's the whole point of Sonic. They bring the food to your car. There's no inside to Sonic. All right, so Kevin, I have a crazy conspiracy, but you see how the fencing they got about us making fun of Sonic, which is a bullshit fast food rush
Starting point is 00:10:24 that doesn't have tables. I think these are the Sonic guys Well, maybe so buttered about us goofing on fucking a hotdog place. I don't know this whole thing is I mean look, you know, I understand We we's whatever started it first by picking their podcast and making fun of them and blah, blah, blah. I get it, but to say that then we wanted it a bit. Well, fuck yes, we know we're doing a bit of the thing. You know, I know exactly where you're going with that. So I have one more clip just to cover that ground.
Starting point is 00:11:07 Play track 38. Was a keen and and and he give us key didn't count. Keenan and Cal. They seem to be doing the exact same thing that we're doing. So they go, Chris and Rob do these bits and they go on, on, they immediately then jump into a bit. They don't at this point, they don't seem to be aware that we're doing so they go chris and rob do these bits and they go on on they immediately then jump into a bit
Starting point is 00:11:27 they don't at this point they don't seem to be aware that they're doing the same thing that they're saying is bad that we do ironic isn't it i'm not sure that technically are any what this is like o Henry and a lot of smore said had a baby and named it this exact situation uh..., God, I don't know, man, it's frustrating because I wish that we were, I wish they were on the show, which they were guests so we could just like go back and forth because it's hard to do a show, get a rebuttal, then do another show with your, I mean, like we're not communicating.
Starting point is 00:12:06 Well, they came out and said we're not trying to start a podcast war. Right. And neither of them. Not me. But I do love, I did like me very happy. These guys addressed our show. And for so long, they addressed, I mean, now we're doing the executive thing again. Right. Right.
Starting point is 00:12:22 They addressed our show. Now we're addressing their show for both to my show. So, you know, it just goes around and around. But Kevin, you're thinking that one of these assholes is the guy who gave us our latest one-server review on iTunes. Well, it does seem to add up. Do you want to read that review? Yeah. Let me pull that up. And this is like, is like Kevin is is talking about like no shit We're aware of this even though it seems obvious. I would think it's seem obvious to everyone This review on our iTunes. I think you're just like wait Well, and there's there's wording in here that makes me think that it was one of these guys because
Starting point is 00:13:06 yeah, so let me let me let me read it here. Okay, it says Weird how unaware they are. That's the title. It says you know It's kind of just pointing out. Yeah, the name of the user name of the person who posted this is Dancing on the ceiling, but it's like spelled like Ted Dancin's last name. And I think that's clever. You want to name your next band that? It's pretty good. It's almost as good as my cover band, who's the Boston? It's pretty good.
Starting point is 00:13:35 All right, so the review says, you know that podcast never not funny? This is just like that except the opposite. These guys try to take a position of authority over bad podcasts while doing one of the worst podcasts I've ever heard. They don't seem to get the irony though and probably don't understand what irony is or even how to spell the word irony. Overall, I highly recommend. Right. Which is weird. Yeah. So, but I, it's got to be them because this whole thing of,
Starting point is 00:14:10 they make one of other podcasts, you know, the word authority, I think they even used on the show. And irony, we goofed on them for using the word literally wrong. I think the goofing out of us right back for not understanding what irony means. Yeah, and there's some other, one of the things he says too, he says like they don't even know how to spell or he says it about himself or something. There was definitely some wording that they were saying a lot of times like, that's why I put two and two together that this must have been. Not only that, but we got this review like a day before we got the tweet
Starting point is 00:14:46 basically from the show saying that the review guys. And listen, all is fair in love and war. So, you know, you want to go on and give us one start. We have a ton of one-series because it's all people who've been buttered by our shows making fun of their shows. I get it. I understand. We personally do not do that. We never go on and get people for reviews on iTunes. We're just trying to have fun. But hey, that's what you guys want to do and dance and I'm the ceiling. Do you want to go on and say how shitty we are? That's fine. I do have a few more clips that I want to play from these guys because Kevin,
Starting point is 00:15:18 do you know which time they spent talking about our show on their show? It was probably like a good 20 minutes, right? All right, so their show was 40 minutes long. They spent 45% of their show talking about our show. They went from the minute four to the 18th minute in the beginning of the show, just talking about us. And then I don't know if you heard this, but they were doing a bit later in the show where this caller calls in except for the caller is one of the hosts,
Starting point is 00:15:43 go figure, and that goes on for another four or five minutes where they just talk about us. Yeah I caught a little bit of that. I could be in there. Yeah. So you know I feel like that poor step by step up is so probably didn't get it's it's due. So let's play track, I call this track, I want this to be our new tagline. They're like the two crutchy old men in the Muppets. Yes, except with substantially worse audio quality, right? Well, I give them that. That is very true. We've tried, I should say, I've tried on so many occasions to get this goddamn audio to sound
Starting point is 00:16:25 Correct and maybe I need to call this step-by-step guys and find out what the hell microphones are using because well what they're doing Kevin is they they're in the same room Well, I just heard it's you sound as ridiculous That's very true. Yeah, they're probably in the same room, but you know that's fine I don't I don't care at all. I mean, they're totally free to rip on us. And I mean, we did it to them. So. No, no, you sound like you care.
Starting point is 00:16:51 I don't know. Well, look, I'm gonna go through, I'm gonna give my Jerry Springer-esque wrap up after we're all done with this. Okay, yeah, let's, let me get through it that quick. We'll be moving on to our podcast. Okay. We're viewing instead of reviewing yet. And I'll tease something. It's the worst podcast I've've already been set up reviewing yet.
Starting point is 00:17:05 I'll tease something. It's the worst podcast I've ever heard of my life. Yeah, and that is saying something. Today's podcast pick up lines the good, the bad, the ugly. Woof. I got a lot on that. Okay, Track 34, I call this W-A-T-P,
Starting point is 00:17:21 believes they are failing at being funny. They believe that we're trying to be funny, and then they also subsequently believe that we are failing at that at that task. I love that. It's perfectly subdominal. And it's 22. I went back and listened to that show, and it was right when we were only had a couple days break from the previous show we did.
Starting point is 00:17:44 We get out and we're like, Kevin, Kevin this show sucks but it's not nearly as bad as that last show we heard that really sucks which has to be deflating to someone who's like oh someone reviewed by podcast. So do you cover their conspiracy theory? I do I know I didn't address their conspiracy theory. Do you want to talk about it? Yeah do we want to talk about it? I don't care I didn't address their conspiracy theory. Do you want to talk about it? Yeah, do we want to talk about it? I don't care.
Starting point is 00:18:06 I just thought I was silly. Yeah, so one of their conspiracy theories, or their only conspiracy theory about us, is that we mentioned that this podcast was submitted by a listener named Jackie, I believe. Now they incorrectly assume that Jackie is married to do one of us. I can comfortably say that I am divorced. I am no longer married. I am dating somebody that's fine and I don't give a shit if they know or don't know. Carl is married. As far as I know his wife's name is not Jackie So I don't know yeah, obviously that was it incorrect assumption Kind of silly. I think that they were trying to put it together that Because something about like the transcribing of the episode. I think they were joking. Yeah. It was ridiculous.
Starting point is 00:19:07 Well, what's funny about it is that they had someone transcribed that episode that we listened to, which was not worth transcribing. And we were goofing on that. And apparently this woman who transcribed their show, Jacqueline, had some issues transcribing. So the theory is, well, she must know these guys. And to be honest, the person who transcribed the show could have been the one who submitted it to us. I don't know who Jackie is, so I have no idea.
Starting point is 00:19:32 Right, right. It's possible that it is the same person. That's, so yeah, I'll throw that out there. Why not? It could be true. Yeah. So conspiracy theory is abound between the two shows. So I'm going to be involved with you both sides.
Starting point is 00:19:46 All right, here's a track that I have. And it just goes to show you these guys cannot stop themselves from going into bits. I call this and here comes the bit number 35. Basically, the overall takeaway is that they don't like us. And Rob, they tried to hurt our feelings. They did. They did. But you know what? He's a couple of meanies. I'm not gonna get hurt by this, all right?
Starting point is 00:20:06 I'm an independent woman. You're what now? I'm an independent woman. Oh, okay. Okay. Um, so you went nowhere, I don't know what that was. That would be real long. Yeah, but right away, yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:20 So let me just get to these last few clips. And this is all near the end of the show when they have another podcast that they do and I forget what that is but they have like a college show in this guy Marty the caller Always calls into their show and it's one of the hosts doing a wacky voice Play the first number 39 and this is Marty the color explaining WATP What they do is they listen to other people's podcasts and they say, listen, this is what we don't like about this other podcast. They put them in their place, Rob.
Starting point is 00:20:53 They go after them, no holds bad. They say, listen, this show stinks. I don't like it, this sucks. It's gay, they say they do call people gay a lot I noticed we do this is cracking me up I think we applied that these guys hug each other after they get to what their show and they get tight in the pants it sounds like something you say this is this next track in Marty the color reviewing w a tp Let's see what this guy has to say about our show
Starting point is 00:21:29 Yeah, so they reviewed you show and what you think of their show or they're a review of our show I loved it. I think they hit you guys right on the head Mm-hmm because you guys thank you funny. You're not your show sucks and if you ask me, I think you gay lovers. I just, I got to tell you Kevin, I give these guys a lot of credit. I was fucking laughed by ASAP. I gotta say, the whole phone call thing sounds legit, like they did, I don't know what they did for the effect for the phone call thing, or if he literally skyped in or what but I Hats off to you guys
Starting point is 00:22:14 I gotta say these guys Think you gay lovers Scraping just just one more from Marty the collar and It's great man. Just one more from Marty the collar and this is where he falls a little flat He tries to improv what our names are wait track 40 It's hosted by these two gentlemen. What are their names? Oh Larry and Lance sir Larry and Lancer, okay, all right Maybe in Lantzoo. Okay.
Starting point is 00:22:41 All right. Um. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah.
Starting point is 00:22:49 Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah.
Starting point is 00:22:57 Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah. your show, which is great. And I love that they listen to the whole show, got a little upset
Starting point is 00:23:06 about it, but had some fun with that. That was good. That's all we asked for. We're having fun. We want you to have fun too. Right. And that was kind of part of my summary too, was like, obviously we know that we're upsetting people or we could have, we have the potential to upset people. This is our stand, at least my stance from WATP. I'm a keen in stance. This is keen in, yeah. This is keen in ivory Thompson, what are I don't know what to say. This is my stance. So I am not by nature the type of person
Starting point is 00:23:43 that would make fun of someone else. I think you know this Carl because you don't mean for a long time. I think everyone who knows me personally kind of knows that too. So a lot of the times when we get on these shows, Carl, you have this personality. I mean, this is sort of your personality. I've known you for a long time. So a lot of it is me trying to kind of match your, I don't know, your panache, if you will, with this stuff. So it's not the same that we genuinely don't listen
Starting point is 00:24:14 to some really terrible podcasts, but I am the type of person that's just like, ah, don't rock the boat and everyone's cool in my book. Like I'm just one of those fucking passive pussy types. So that being said, I totally don't begrudge these guys for getting upset or you know, and doing a show at least they had a sense of humor about it and were playing along with it, which I do appreciate. I think that that was cool because they at least certainly could have not done 20 minutes on it. Just been like, these guys are fucking assholes
Starting point is 00:24:48 and fuck you and started something. So I'm glad that they took it and stride and did whatever. Now, okay, the premise for your show is a little interesting to say the least. We're gonna rehash all of this. Yeah. Go back to the list, that was on 44. Yeah, it's an interesting clear how we feel about step by step.
Starting point is 00:25:10 It's an interesting premise. It's certainly unique. I'll give it that. And maybe not for everybody. And we're two of those people that it's not for. So, you know, we wish them luck and whatever. Move on and we'll go on to the next one and Because we have an entire show to do today too, and we just spent
Starting point is 00:25:31 26 minutes talking about their show Yeah, yeah, so So I don't know that's all I have to say about it is my hats off to you guys for for being fucking good sports about it say about it. My hat's off to you guys for for being fucking good sports about it. We're just a couple of assholes like you and are no certainly any authority on podcasts, but we do think we know what's funny or what makes us laugh anyway and whatever. That's what the show's about. Oh shit. You have any more of your apology you want to read or can we move on? No, let me see. I got page two page two is Page two is I was born in Rochester, New York
Starting point is 00:26:12 So once again Kevin has thrown me into the bus. This is on my fault No, it's right. I treat everything in life as if it were a roast I paint a band I make fun of the venue and the other bands. Some people take it well, others don't. It's just the nature of it. What are you going to do? So, that's kind of how I approach life. Yeah, and I'm certainly not trying to throw you under the bus or anything.
Starting point is 00:26:35 I'm just saying, a lot of the time is, it's hard for me. And I think you knew this too. When we first started the show, it was hard for me to rag on on other shows because it's just I feel I feel bad. I feel guilty sometimes about it. But then I kind of get wrapped up in it because you're having so much fun and just like, well, you know, what the fuck? Yeah, you say if there was a good show, we were just making fun of it for the sake of making fun of it. We haven't had a lot of those. We've had a couple good shows that we didn't make fun of. But most of these have been pretty terrible.
Starting point is 00:27:10 Yes, that's true. I mean, I've had maybe two of our whole run that we were like, we like the show. Anyway, that's, I guess, enough on that topic. So let's talk about this new Show that we're reviewing this week. You started at the 30 minute mark Jesus we're behind we're behind today. Yes, I pulled a ton of clips this podcast was 23 minutes And if you took out the pregnant pauses and the dead air it was probably 12 minutes, right it was pauses and the dead air, it was probably 12 minutes. Right.
Starting point is 00:27:44 It was atrocious. And it was a sinking ship where everyone on board knew the ship was sinking and for playing there, there was nothing they could do about it. That was the best part, is that there was this mysterious Bobby character who was running the show that you couldn't hear from. And it's like, well, I can't stop the show because Bobby keeps
Starting point is 00:28:04 it going and so they just kept this terrible show going. I thought it was unbelievable. Yeah so should we mention that this is well you did last week I guess it's it's 10 years old so it's 2007 so the audio quality is more atrocious than our own show as we've been pointed out and It's the only show that they did so it's a Clearly a test episode that they were trying to do however. It still exists on iTunes so you can go out there and And get it if you want to know why you would But so I think that like we have to have that disclaimer
Starting point is 00:28:47 because it's clearly and a lot of sections, just them trying to figure out how to do this show, I guess. But it's so bad. I'm glad they never did anymore. And who knows, maybe they have a whole other successful podcast that they've been doing for the last 10 years. Oh, I'm sure that they do not. From the people who brought you pick up lines. My dad made a portal. No way. And you see what I had to do something successful. Right. Right. So this wasn't suggesting that came in on our Facebook page.
Starting point is 00:29:24 And it does break some of the rules we typically try to go with podcasts and have a number of episodes and some type of following because yeah, anyone can put up any type of crap. But this one is particularly a train wreck and it's just hard to take your eyes off of it. Why don't we start off? This is actually the clip that I teased it with last week, but it's so important to establish. There's a female host,
Starting point is 00:29:48 and then she takes a phone call or Skype or something with this kid named TK, and TK is just a dick. He's the opposite of an improv professional. It's no yes and it's all just no and that's dumb. It's his answer to everything. Play track one. On the line right now we have TK and more to join in a moment which we're trying to start right now. So TK if you could take over for a minute
Starting point is 00:30:25 they go over not like you gave me something you needed anything to say do you have any pickup lines to use at the moment no i do not and uh... someone call my phone wow someone's calling my phone. Hello. Wow. I think this is going to be June 3rd with the recording starts. So it gets up to a rocky start. This guy can't even be bothered with the podcast he's doing and ignores phone for a minute.
Starting point is 00:30:57 Oh, sorry. So it was coming. Yeah. So I think I'm assuming that they're using what God well Skype was a thing about 10 years ago, right? I don't I don't know what they're using but they're obviously they have a chat room going Yes, they're in some type of chat room because they keep talking about people being on there and being muted and typing things to them and Yeah, so there's a lot of and typing things to them. Yeah, so there's a lot of...
Starting point is 00:31:24 It's just very 1890, 90, 90, this whole thing. Yeah, there's a lot of ambient noise going on with key clicking and phones ringing and lots of other things. And you get to hear a lot of that because they don't talk for long stretches of time as you've pointed out before. In fact, I have a clip where it's just straight dead air and there's nothing, it's just
Starting point is 00:31:51 really, it's really good. Sounds like a diet of my clip, let's hear it. Yeah. So this is a clip per plane, so we're going to play dead air with dead air. So here we go. Here's a real time clip here. Hey, we have one more person nice
Starting point is 00:32:28 Hey, all right, so that was How much did you count how much time that was I didn't know I've been there had to be seven or eight seconds there Usually yeah, and I mean full disclosure for me. This is a 23 minute podcast I only listen to half of it because it's literally all I could listen to I could I mean I pull my headphones off and I'm like fuck this I said that audibly to no one I said I had the exact opposite reaction I was laughing out loud to the show. I couldn't believe what a train wreck it was I Would have listened to a bit were twice as as long, Gavin. This poor woman, this host, is being berated by this kid TK the whole time. And she has zero self esteem.
Starting point is 00:33:12 Let's get into that element because there's a sociological or psychological element of the show that I find fascinating. How about track three? I call this TK is not going to make this easy? Yes, you remember what I said this will be a dumb idea for a podcast. Oh, well, I'm noticing that already I'm telling you there's nothing to say You get nothing to say in a podcast it's hardly worth listening to Wait wait to start off the show with a bang Yeah, you came this promise promise you're fucking idiot this sucks there's a lot of that kind of talk
Starting point is 00:33:48 and then this guy is such a dick to this poor woman play track sex wow why is Bobby hosting this um... is your lazy and won't do it no i, I was gonna do it for it. It's all be has to be in charge because he's retarded. Wow. It's mean. I don't know. Like, there's a time where the guy, the what T.K. or whatever says, that she's the idea woman. Yeah, he kept saying that quite a few times in here. He said, you know, this is a horrible idea. And she's like, well, maybe
Starting point is 00:34:34 if you guys came up with ideas, there would be better ones. And he's like, well, we can't be bothered with it. You just come up with horrible ideas. That's like the whole thing. Right. That's the. You just wanted to blame other people. How old do you think this tk kid is because he sounds like a Superbrady 17 year old or something like that. Yeah, I don't know. I'm gonna double down and say they're like 23 Oh Yeah, that would be bad and just you know, there may be they're just kind of you know Lonely kids or something that are meeting up on AOL
Starting point is 00:35:04 Insta I don't know what, 2000. 2007 seems so far like long ago, but I don't think it was really that. It's not like we were using BBSs and Dometrics printers or something, but I was still tearing off the edges of the paper after I put it out. And I used your 24-a-bod modem, 24-a-bodem modem to dial into a BBS and not play King of the Hill or Pimp Wars. And I'm going back a little bit there.
Starting point is 00:35:37 Yeah, that was not 2007. No, that was, let's see, 93, probably 92 and 93 when I was in the computers. Back when you were in the computers? Yeah, not anymore, fuck those. Right. All right, so here's just some more clips from early on in the show where they're just losing confidence and momentum, play track 4. Wow. Yeah, dude, this is really sucking.
Starting point is 00:36:09 He says that a lot there, too. She does. She's just like, oh my gosh, the show is just sucking it so bad. And at any point, they could have just stopped. They could have just hung up or whatever. Right. Or they could have just not uploaded it to the internet. I mean, at any point, this could have been averted, but apparently they just had it pushed through.
Starting point is 00:36:29 Here's a one that I think is fun. Track five, this is the first pickup line. So the whole show is supposed to be about pickup lines, which, compared to step-by-step, is a good promise. I actually, just, kids like this sucks, is the worst promise. Like, you can have some fun with this, so you don't want to set pickup lines. So up license you find your regional play track by wait listen to this one I miss my teddy bear would you sleep with me the scale of one to ten and what would you rate that one that one that one really sucks I love that because she goes on a scale one to 10 would you think it goes it sucked? Yeah, okay
Starting point is 00:37:09 This guy does not play along with anything. He's just the worst person. She's trying to like frame it in like I will do a scale Okay, a scale the one to 10 So then they find one that they do like and Unfortunately because finally she gets some positive feedback she takes it too far so you can hear her fake laugh play track 7 hey does this rags smell like chloroform to you? actually that's pretty good Oh That is good. I enjoyed that one. I enjoyed your face
Starting point is 00:37:57 God it's so This guy so this is why I think it's good 17 He has these comebacks and it's all about this woman's face. Yeah. Yeah. She's like, I enjoy that one. I enjoy your face. What?
Starting point is 00:38:10 What does that mean? You enjoyed my face. And then he's got another one. Play track 15. I call this the worst comeback of all time. You weren't funny anyway. Huh? You weren't funny anyway, huh? They aren't funny anyway. Dude, you aren't funny anyway.
Starting point is 00:38:30 Your face isn't funny. Your face isn't funny. I feel like that's a couple, but... You're not even funny. Your face isn't funny. Well, thank you. All right. Awesome. So good. So good start. Building some chemistry here. Right. Yeah he does that face joke. A couple of times too. I'm pretty sure I do. Yeah let's try this one.
Starting point is 00:39:02 Let's try this one. Here's another pickup line. You look like my next girlfriend. Bad boy. That sucks. Some of these aren't really... Are we gonna go into dirty pickup lines too, or are we gonna try to keep it clean? Let's pay away from that. I know, but they're so funny. Yeah, your face is so funny.
Starting point is 00:39:29 Yeah, good point. She's about to be a podcast and no one can see it and laugh at me. Yeah, that's exactly it. Your face is so funny. But then he said, your face isn't funny. This gets all over the flies. I can't figure it out. But what I love about that is she's like, do you want to do dirty pickup lines? And this guy just has to squash any flutter because I was like, no. It's like, oh, there's a chance that could be good. But not enough. Well, you'd be a co-host out of show.
Starting point is 00:39:54 We fucking nails it. Hey, do you want to tell me about a pickup line? No. I don't. I'm going to take a phone call. Well, what if I tell you some pickup lines don't? That sucks. I don't want to hear it. I'm so funny. Oh shit. I have another one here. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:40:14 This would be so much better if we had like five people talking. You know? And I wasn't the only one just getting coming up with these. No, no, barely. You get to have early you get five people remove all have something to say I love it I love this kid the better once she throws out there just like no wrong well that was a shitty suggestion this would be better with five people talking well you know what what she was saying was here here's what's happening with this whole dynamics I don't know why you didn't like this guy but I'm talking about this so fast. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:40:46 She's up there, and the whole premise is, we're gonna talk about pick-up lines. And this kid's got nothing. He will not participate anyway. So then she has to read the pick-up lines, and he just goes, nah, nah, funny, sucks. So much is she's like, wow, the crazy, there are a couple other people in here,
Starting point is 00:41:01 maybe someone I can bounce and shit off of me. No. No. I felt for like that. And just like, yeah, like if there was one other person, I feel like it would help you out. It's ridiculous. And then TK puts his foot down.
Starting point is 00:41:16 This poor woman, she realizes that this show is now working. So she's like, well, this is just like a test show. Play track nine, I call this TK puts his foot down. I think this is going to be another test episode and we're going to have to do this seriously later. We're not doing a series against about take-up lines. It's a angry. You're not going to pick up my ticket. You're the one who's out the show about pickup lines, Tommy. This TK staff are totally Carl. I know. It's like an asshole like me. It's what I like this guy. Uh boy, I only got like nine clips because I only like I said listen to like half of it. So
Starting point is 00:42:03 it's I don't know. I almost feel like it's unfair because it's just this test episode that we listened to, but like we said, we hear it kind of one over. Oh, but dude, what it's such garbage though, these people, I found it hilarious, not just because there's echo on the voices, the production's terrible, people are getting IAMs throughout it.
Starting point is 00:42:22 You know, you hear people typing and there's all this dead air. But also the whole premise of it, nobody was on board with from the start. And they went through and they did it for 23 minutes. I'm really, really, this is gonna be like one of those the room type podcasts. Where people like, dude, have you heard pick up lines? You gotta go midnight tonight.
Starting point is 00:42:42 We're all gonna go down and check it out with the original cast. Good. And we all throw cardboard cutouts over face at this one point and he says face All right, I have a clip on here Kevin that I call Try to wrap your head around this stupid stupidity They're in a chat room and people are muted in the chat room so they're not hearing this broadcast play track 13 You know what how about we not what Bobby host one of these ever again that actually has nothing to do with it I
Starting point is 00:43:20 Know but people are muted You don't have to comprehend that. Hey, people who are muted, if you can hear me, you're not missing anything. Wait a second. So he says, people are muted. If you can hear me, you're not missing anything. Which means you can't hear it and you're not missing anything. So why would you only hear you? That is the dumbest part of the show. And it takes a lot to be the dumbest part of the show. I think that these two hosts actually went on to write for At Midnight, I come to Central. I believe it. They came up with the really bit for Sassan Amy Really? I'm dying to my chemistry these two
Starting point is 00:44:13 Okay, so for the listeners out there have you Got a good sense of the show yet I'm talking directly to you now listener I'm talking directly to you now, listener. Do you think you understand how shitty this show is? You definitely could check it out if you want to. It's 23 minutes. It's on iTunes. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:44:38 You're not getting out of it then, is it? Let's play a support clip. Got to. Stop it right now. This is what I think is funny because again, going back to that psychiatry aspect of it, this woman is about to make a suggestion and then you can see that she thinks three seconds ahead about TK calling her an idiot and decides not to play a 14 next time what's have something to say.
Starting point is 00:45:07 Yeah, I think next time we do a podcast we actually have something to talk about. Yeah. Why don't we do one on? Yeah. Yeah. Wow. Did you hear that? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:21 Yeah. Why don't we do one on it? She's like, oh, whenever I say he's going to say it sucks. I better. I better not say anything it really is a study in and fucking I don't know what this poor woman has no self-esteem I feel so bad for yeah we should we should look them up do they have their full name oh I did look them up I the woman I couldn't find any name for they'd ever mention on the show I don't know full name. I'm a full ID look. I'm a full name. I'm a full ID look. I'm a full ID look. I'm a full name. I'm a full name. I'm a full ID look. I'm a full name.
Starting point is 00:45:48 I'm a full ID look. I'm a full name. I'm a full name. I'm a full name. I'm a full ID look. I'm a full name. I'm a full name. I'm a full ID look.
Starting point is 00:45:56 I'm a full name. I'm a full name. I'm a full name. I'm a full name. I'm a full name. I'm a full name. I'm a full name. I'm a full name.
Starting point is 00:46:04 I'm a full ID look. I'm a full name. I'm a full name. I'm a full name. I'm a full name. I'm a full name. What happens is there's this guy Joe in the chat room and Joe is obviously writing things to the host that's like you guys suck or something. She goes, well then why don't you just get out of here and that if you don't want to be part of it. And TK thinks he's talking to him. So then, so then he's like, okay. And she doesn't realize that he left and she tries to talk to him, but he's gone. Now if you play track 18, this seems like it's a long clip, but let me tell you, Kevin.
Starting point is 00:46:28 I took out about 20 seconds worth of dead air to make this actually work for our show. So, yeah, this is fun. Hey, Joe, if we suck so much, why don't you just leave? Oh, yeah. All right. Thanks. I guess we appreciated it. You know what? TK, do you have anything interesting to talk about if we were to do with your use podcast?
Starting point is 00:47:04 TK. Gosh! Thing interesting to talk about if we were to do with your spot guest GK Gosh Such a concert A few more clips coming I know we're running live stuff I step thing Yeah There's a sky Tim the calls in and is going to save the show he's got some pick up lines
Starting point is 00:47:26 and they get off to uh... a great start play track nineteen hello finally on what's going on it's a good idea you know you're making a pick up one yeah i can hear you oh my god
Starting point is 00:47:44 they can't script it better than that. So then, so then Tim proceeds to tell us. And I love this because listen to the guy listen to the host. She had just been going through 18 minutes straight of TK telling her she sucks, this topic sucks. She's an idiot. Her face is funny. It isn't funny. She's been going through this and she's a beaten person and listen to how excited she gets when Tim starts talking about his pickup lines, play track 20. I have no, I have times to pick up line day, you know people. All right, well do you have any stories to tell of ones that you've used and that worked or ones that you can't work. Well, could you tell us funny incidences of responses to them?
Starting point is 00:48:30 Hey. I don't know, tell me. Hey. Hey, do you pick one? Hmm. I was a really good one I had one time. I can't remember what it was. Oh, sorry he has nothing. He gives her nothing.
Starting point is 00:48:48 But it was so funny because he's like, oh yeah, I have pickup lines. I use them all the time. She's like, oh, you do well. Well, they could you tell us maybe like a time that you use one how worked. And she's all excited. She's like, yes, this is finally working. He's like, I don't remember. What is going on? Oh, so then after this awkward back and forth, Tim starts to remember his pickup line. They tracked 21. Oh, I can't remember. Oh, sorry to bother you. But he has this address.
Starting point is 00:49:22 Followed for you or something? Can't. I don't know now. It was right about you. I don't want to just address called for the man of her dreams. But he looked hotter than the girl I was supposed to deliver to. What? What? What? I don't know. It working on it oh my god
Starting point is 00:49:47 excited to have played these for you for the first time you did even hear this final show you just got funnier and funnier to me it's just brutal it's just sad people just yeah it is oh god it's like I'm making my skin fucking crawl. Ah, I'm sorry. All right. One more clip. One more clip because in this one, she talks about what she's going to do for her index podcast because she realizes this is a disaster and she needs to try a different whole new format, you know. She's like, you know, this whole pickup life thing with Tim and DK, they're not giving me much. But she does have someone who's very excited about the premise of the next podcast. Play Track 22.
Starting point is 00:50:32 Well, you know what? I think my next, I think the next talk cast is going to involve playing music like hopefully that'll work. It'll be the interface, entertainment, band music thing, and we're gonna sample music online and see what people are putting up it off. David Dave is stoked about that. He's very excited. Oh, I got him morphed into Rick Flair at the end there. He's out of breath. Jesus. Oh, I'm the part of that. I get to run into it with the devil, what I love those those Davidly rock clips. He's like, I'll tell you what it's all about! Ah!
Starting point is 00:51:29 It's like he's just babbling. He's just, he's just, he's probably like, God damn it baby, I lied to you. What? God damn it baby, I lied to you. Who even brought that off? Ah. Oh God. Genius.
Starting point is 00:51:44 Genius. These kids today, Kevin, they try to make rock music without the cocaine it's just not working The cocaine I just pulled one ISO that I will definitely use for future WATPs play worst podcast ever made This is absolutely the worst podcast ever made This is absolutely the worst podcast ever made She is right about that that is this might be I I feel like I've said this so many times now on the show But this really might be the worst one that we've ever attempted to review me What's amazing about that is that she said that in 2007,
Starting point is 00:52:26 and it's still true today. 10 years of nothing we'll be making podcasts, and she still has the worst podcast. And for that, we applaud you. Congratulations. Uh, it's just, most of the time, I mean, there's certainly lots of times where I've listened to a show or I'm reviewing it and pulling clips and I can't get through it.
Starting point is 00:52:51 But this was the first time I just out of sheer frustration of dead air after dead air of not hearing anything that I was like, I can't fucking do this anymore. That and I was also hungry for breakfast. So, the truth is coming out because the whole dynamic with TK and that woman, I was fascinated by it. And at one point, she decides, you know what, he's giving me nothing. I'm just going to ride a lot of some pig up lines. So she's reading some pig up lines and she's like, yeah, people keep sending me these. And this guy's such an asshole.
Starting point is 00:53:23 He's like, who's sending them to? I bet you just really it off on a list. It's like, she's gonna give her nothing. We don't even act like someone's playing along with this. You're an idiot, this sucks. It's so funny. The funny thing is this problem. I want you on our show.
Starting point is 00:53:40 I want it because I'm third on it. I think the funniest part is like the guy probably went back to like, I don't know, worker school and was like, dude, we did it. We totally did this podcast. You get to check it out. Yeah. It's totally cool. Yeah, I think you and I have the only people that have heard this show. Well, I'm doing one of those actually on the street all the way through. Yeah, I don't understand why, because I think you can pull shows down. I don't understand why they never asked for this to
Starting point is 00:54:09 re-reviewed or removed from iTunes. In fact, did you look at the two reviews that they have? Yes. Yeah, because that was with one of the people said they were like, why was this effort uploaded? Or should we take it off of here? This is horrible. But, okay. So do we get through it? Kevin, we're through it, man. We're moving on.
Starting point is 00:54:33 All right. Are you excited? A little bit. Yeah. All right. Well, here's the deal. This week has been tough. We had a listen to stuff by staff.
Starting point is 00:54:43 Tell us that we're not as original and hilarious as we think we are. Yep. That had our feelings. Then we had to listen to the worst podcast ever produced and review that. So that was rough. But you know what, Kevin, I have good news. Oh yeah?
Starting point is 00:54:58 Yeah. Next week, we're going to do this again with a whole new podcast. What? Oh! It's gonna make a baby. Oh my God! I'm gonna tell you what it is! Oh my God!
Starting point is 00:55:18 So this is where Kevin explains that we're aware that that's ridiculous. It's not what that is there. It's a good. So this is where Kevin explains that we're aware that that's ridiculous So that's the sound that means we're gonna play a teaser For the podcast we'll be reviewing next week. I have a clip that I pulled from said podcast and go ahead and teed up there my syrup They release a small clip from it, but showed Dracks just chewing on some food and people getting a little Getting pissed out of tracks What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:55:56 Oh, I didn't know it's type 8 to 8 I forgot to add something Yeah Wow, there's a lot of titles like this show we just listened to. It was without all the hissing. Yeah. It's a little bit more modern. All right. So this is a W ATP first Kevin.
Starting point is 00:56:16 Okay. What is this? Our 50 first episode. This is the 51st episode. Yes. And I will say that the month of March means we've been doing this for a year now. That's correct. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:28 Well, congratulations on one year of doing WATP. And you'd think that we'd done it all. I mean, we've been doing this every week for a year, we're up to 51 episodes. What else could there be? Well, guess what? There's something brand new that's never happened before. And it's happening. This show that you just heard three angry nerds actually reached out to us and asked us to review the show. Really? Yes. Don't ask like you don't know that. You forwarded me the event.
Starting point is 00:56:58 Okay, right. I was trying to keep suspense going. Yeah. Yeah. You're like really? That was a yes and thing. It was a yes and thing. You're right. I shouldn't have heard of the fourth wall there. That's OK. So, yeah, we got an email. I think that these gentlemen must have heard step-by-step
Starting point is 00:57:20 because they said, you know, their email was something to the effect of, you know, you guys are whatever notorious for. So some podcasts complain about your scathing reviews, but I invite it. As a four-year-old podcast, I'm always open to criticism, feel free to review our podcast or don't. So three angry nerds, we are going to be listening to episode 163 called Chicken Wing Enthusiast. It's from March 2nd of 2017. Um, episode 163, these guys, these guys have been around for a while. It must be really good at podcasting with all that experience.
Starting point is 00:57:56 Four years, four years of, uh, of show there. So, uh, probably figured out all the things we've yet to figure out about good podcasting. Yeah. Well for one i didn't know that you're supposed to type on a keyboard during the show should i start doing that more uh... also i just uh... where do i manage to i can't i can't tell if it was a sound clip or you're actually just hammering on your keyboard i don't have sound clip or you're actually just hammering on your keyboard I don't have sound clips Kevin you're the guy who does it. Oh, yeah, yeah
Starting point is 00:58:31 God damn it So that's the show we're gonna listen to next week and Chances are they're not gonna get all pissy about us talking about their show because they've actually invited it I'm excited. Yeah, it should be interesting. Look, I'm actually really excited that somebody took the time to write us and was like, hey, review our show. I mean, that's very, very cool.
Starting point is 00:58:56 I mean, and obviously our reviews are mostly just shitting on. So we'll see how this goes. Who knows? We might like the show. I might like it. I'm a nerd. Shit. I might, uh, I was the first 10 minutes of it.
Starting point is 00:59:08 And they were talking about nothing but comic book movies. So you'll probably be all in. All right. Yeah. I mean, they were talking about tracks there. So obviously they're saying something about how guardians of the galaxy. So yeah, I'm in.
Starting point is 00:59:19 I'm, uh, I might be a listener after this. Who knows? They talk about collecting toys. I have a feeling that you're going to be a whole piece of this. Oh, it's just four angry nerds. Holy shit. Yeah, it's, it's a whole thing. Well, good. And you, the listener, I'm talking one to one to the listener
Starting point is 00:59:41 now, Kevin, few hosts of podcast.
