Who Are These Podcasts? - Ep538 - The Corey Feldman Band

Episode Date: July 25, 2024

This week’s midweek show was recorded in Drew Lane’s basement after the four of us saw The Corey Feldman Band last night. Corey only played seven songs but it was totally worth the flight to Detro...it and I’d do it again. Marc, Brandon, and I each took videos of the show and we analyze all of the highlights.  After we found out Corey’s keyboard player can’t play, sing, or perform, we get into Stuttering John’s amazing tribute to his former agent Don Buchwald. No one does an insulting eulogy better than John. Also, Woke Dad is trying to figure out how to handle the news that Joe Biden is dropping out of the election. Is the sky falling? Maybe.  Get WATP Rochester Hot Sauce 15% off with promo code WATP – https://www.silkcityhotsauce.com/shop Tickets are on sale for DabbleCon 2 on August 16th and 17th – http://watplive.com/ Tickets for the Magic Bag in Detroit on October 25th – https://www.themagicbag.com/concerts-magicbag/who-are-these-podcasts-hide-september-15-2023-hide Support us, get bonus episodes, and watch live every Saturday and Wednesday: http://bit.ly/watp-patreon https://watp.supercast.tech/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Starting point is 00:00:32 You got it. We got Frosted Tips incoming! It's showtime. Take it away Carl. W-A-T-P. Alright, we went and saw Corey Feldman last night. All four of us did. That was a blast and I thought we could break that down first. I'll tell you the set list.
Starting point is 00:01:00 Comeback King was the opener. Here we come, the comeback king. Ascension Millennium was up next. Great song. Two best tracks. Right was the opener. Here we come, the Comeback King. Ascension Millennium was up next. Great song. Two best tracks. Right off the top. Played all the hits, then he played Diseased. Then the song I was excited about, The Joke.
Starting point is 00:01:13 Yeah, that's a great song. That's where he pulls out the guitar and we'll talk about that. The Joke's on you. And then, by the way, I was sitting next to Brandon and I was just standing. We were practically moshing. And Brandon was getting way into the joke
Starting point is 00:01:27 at Ascension Millennium. I had such a great time at this concert. I went for Corey Feldman. That was my headliner. I enjoyed Limp Bizkit. We'll get to them later. But I was there for Corey Feldman. And I knew I had an obligation to film a lot of this.
Starting point is 00:01:41 But I didn't want to be that guy who was focusing just on my camera. So I spent so much of my time with just a camera up in the air and I was just rocking out with these guys because Cory put on a hell of a performance. Yes, he did. We had a blast. And then he played Walk, You Got Me, and he ended with Go For It, a song he wrote when he was 15, he claims, and still sings it with all the passion of a 15-year-old Cory Feldman. I think I believe he was 15 when he wrote it after hearing it.
Starting point is 00:02:06 It's pretty bad. You see, that's the song that was on GMA though. I really think that today's show, he thought he was going to pull the crowd back with that song. And I think they just, he might have peaked at the joke. The best part is he still does the today show dance. The one that he did with the flapping arms and the hoodie. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:24 Not to get ahead of ourselves Well, I get the sense like that last song he played he thought that was powerful. Yes, that was his man in the mirror That was his big message Okay, I'm gonna change my life now he's right Do you want to start Brandon with it? You have the shot of the opening of the show when he first came out They played the video up on the video screen to get us pumped up Yeah, yeah, this is the opening the grand entrance of Corey Feldman at pine knob Playing a video for him and they say three billboard hits to I want to apologize for my commentary. No, you know, I didn't realize that Three billboard hits to... YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEE E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E E was you doing that right now? Rannan does not understand amplified sound. He's not the first. I mean, what's hilarious, too, is how many people
Starting point is 00:03:27 are in this mosh pit, 10? Yeah, it's a lot. No, 25. OK. Rannan's up trying to sell the show. I know. What, he work for him? Yeah!
Starting point is 00:03:37 Hey! Hey! Hey! This is his grand entrance. Oh, we got an angel over here. Oh, we got an angel over here. Oh, we got an angel over here. Oh, we got an angel over here. Oh, we got an angel over here!
Starting point is 00:03:50 Listen to that build up. It's like the 2001 theme. Look at all those MDCs. Just tens and tens of people in there. It's very early. Oh boy. And it's a 630 p.m. On the dot Here he come Michael Jackson opened welcome to Cory to the stage stage. Hey, the crowd's going nuts. They used to do that for about two minutes before he'd come out. Yeah They're not the headliner true. They got a that's right quarter those guys were in Pink Floyd
Starting point is 00:04:58 Yeah, that's when you could pause Okay, so we're in the second row We're in the second row and it's empty with the exception of our four seats. And some guy right there walks up to me and goes, you're in my seat. I'm looking around. You're not standing. Like sit anywhere else in the entire building. And he sat through the entire, I don't know how he sat through it because it was amazing.
Starting point is 00:05:19 And that's just the opening. That's when he came out. He did Comeback King. He danced a lot. He looked fantastic doing it, but I couldn't keep my eyes off Corey's angels she was fantastic yeah let's talk about that my clip number one I zoomed in on the the keyboard player here she stinks no she can't play keys she can't sing and she is zero charisma it's like she doesn't even know she's on stage in front of a crowd it's crazy she's doesn't even know she's on stage in front of a crowd. It's crazy. She's probably- Well, in fairness to her, she is Corey Feldman's keyboard player.
Starting point is 00:05:48 No, she's probably- I mean, how into it do you want her to be? The guitarist is fucking into it. She's probably best representative of the true quality of this act. Right, I agree. Because the guitarist, I think he's from Pink Floyd. David Gilmore, I think? He was fantastic.
Starting point is 00:06:02 The drummer's into it. But she sucks. I'm at clip number one. This is, I zoomed in on this. Little pitchy dog. My favorite part about that clip is that she even knows she's a little off because she puts her hand up to her ear so she can hear the monitor a little better. Didn't help. She looks pretty good. I thought she was compelling. She put the whole angel outfit on so she represented Cory's past which was great. She was awful. He also had a secondary female singer who was just backup vocals.
Starting point is 00:06:46 She had blue hair. She was very pretty. What's this girl's function? Just backup? Yeah, she stood there the entire time. She barely moved. You'd think she'd learn the dance numbers or something if you're going to be standing up there.
Starting point is 00:06:57 But apparently, Cory's trying to fuck her, or the drummer is, or someone. They just let her stand there. Got to be Cory. My V4 mark is the joke which I really thought was a fantastic song. He came out he had props and the crowd went nuts for this one as well. New song baby. What's in his hand? So it's like a three horned air air horn that's like, it looks like it's connected to a drill.
Starting point is 00:07:28 And it's gonna make the circus noise for him. Well you know it's so rockstar is how gingerly he puts it down because he certainly doesn't want to break it. Oh, okay. Oh, shit. Carl, any comment on the guitar playing? Yeah. So the way he's holding his guitar pick, I've never seen an adult do that before. I didn't even know how to describe it. It's like he doesn't know how to grip a guitar pick. I've never seen an adult do that before and I don't even know how to describe it.
Starting point is 00:08:05 It's like he doesn't know how to grip a guitar pick. He looks like a child and he's only playing the first two strings, the top two strings on the guitar and he doesn't know how to play guitar at all. He's using drop D. You'll notice that his hand, the chord hand never changes shape. He's just laying his finger down on all the strings because drop D has this cheat code for guitarists where you tune down your E to a D and now your first three strings are a power chord. So you can just lay down all three strings
Starting point is 00:08:33 and play them anywhere and it's a chord. So that's what he's doing here. He's terrible at it. But he wanted to prove to guys like me that he is a great guitarist. So at the end of this, this is my favorite part of the show, my clip number three, Mark.
Starting point is 00:08:48 He decides, like Prince-esque, he's gonna just start shredding on the guitar. Everyone else stops playing, he just starts wailing on the guitar. He doesn't care if he's hitting notes, he's not. He doesn't care if he is playing a scale, he's not. He doesn't know what he's doing, but he thinks it sounds good and this is embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:09:07 It's the best way to put it. What are you doing? I'm just melting. Oh boy. This is so embarrassing. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! The ghost got me! I think he thought he looked cool there too, making like guitar faces and stuff.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Yeah, and the drummer's trying to play it up like yeah everyone watch him he's crushing it right now it's like no you're not fooling me or anyone really. Being in the position of having to sell that act as another band member how painful that's got to be. Let's talk about his dancing. So my clip number four he's doing his Michael Jackson style dance and then he's they said grab the microphone and run off to the side of the stage to sing all those people over there and you'll see he gets caught up a little bit of the stackel bias like
Starting point is 00:10:12 stand I thought we were cheated on not as many spin moves as usual. You see that? Oh yeah, there you go. He almost went down trying to bring that mic over. There's like five people over there. Yeah, but Brandon's making up for it though. He's fucking into it. He's pumped. I made eye contact with Corey. There's like five people over there I made eye contact with Cory. He saw us we were four dudes in the second row and we all had Cory shirts We were all there for him. Yeah We were pumping him up too. He was excited about it. Mm-hmm. You know what there was how many songs seven seven songs
Starting point is 00:11:02 Three costume changes. Yes! Wow. I wanted to ask you guys this, because he went out in that crowd, which is kind of weird because there's only like 15 people so it's not really like a mosh pit or anything. Well it was by the seventh song though, the palladium was more full by then.
Starting point is 00:11:18 I mean it was like, what, half full by the end? But could you guys track him in that crowd? It was kind of fun watching him because he did not know where to go back up. Now in this shot he is a little bit to right of center of, of uh, here we go, here we go. Like damn it. He didn't hear you guys? See there he is trying to go right and then he goes back left and not one single security guard helps him get back on. He had to climb up himself? Climb up on all fours, but...
Starting point is 00:11:48 He kept singing the whole time. I mean, that is a professional. I don't know, that just cracked me up when he went into the crowd. Hey was the guitar player's shirt off the whole time? No, he took it off. He took it off pretty early on too I gotta say. Pretty cool. He got hot. But I mentioned the costume changes and I had, I believe it's my V5, which is the costume
Starting point is 00:12:22 change when he came back and he started playing his Go For It song. He looked so goofy coming out of the back and the band didn't know whether or not to start because we heard him yelling his band names. Right, once again, changing those pants from what he had on to what he put on would take forever. Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit!
Starting point is 00:12:45 Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit!
Starting point is 00:12:53 Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit!
Starting point is 00:13:01 Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! I ran into a couple people after the show and they seriously thought it was a joke. They thought they thought that it was kind of a performance. I talked to people too said wait was he doing stand-up comedy? What was going on? They just they don't follow this.
Starting point is 00:13:36 They don't know. Well okay so that actually brings me to my next video that I want to play for you. This is my clip number two where I kind of panned around to the less enthusiastic crowd behind us because you know If you're looking from my perspective Everyone's going fucking nuts for this Honestly 50% of the people are filming it Didn't know that I ended all of the clips Bread I really had a good time
Starting point is 00:14:23 I had a lot of beers in me by then. But I have to say, though, that this tells me something. And I forget this sometimes. But we live in a world where Corey Feldman is hilarious. And he's coming to our town. We got to be there. We want to watch it. We want to record it.
Starting point is 00:14:38 And then I look around and I'm like, oh, that's right. 99% of the people are not in on this at all. No. They know nothing about any of this. They don't care. I could not stop watching the, Drew, you know, because we're sitting next to each other, the two girls in front of us.
Starting point is 00:14:50 Yeah. I mean, watch how into Corey they are. I'm searching down on the floor. They're going to do it. There's Corey singing. Just give me some more. I treat you like skin. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:59 I'm looking for the door. All right. Everybody goes in. They start grinding each other. Nobody knows what's going on. But no one knows. Yeah, there's one. Where's the one they're about to make? I was very interested in watching them and the one girl was so insistent to go past security to get in that group of like 20 people which you're not sneaking down there.
Starting point is 00:15:16 They are grinding. They seem really young too, didn't they? Yeah, they're definitely. They gotta be what? 18, 19, 20? Yeah, I're definitely... They gotta be, what, 18, 19, 20? Yeah, I like that you started at 18, to smart move. And then there's Drew! Hi, Drew! Hey! What's Drew filming?
Starting point is 00:15:37 I'm looking at the screen. What a showman that guy is. The ladies love him. And you know, there were a lot of red hats. There were so many Limp Bizkit Fred Durst fans there. And I'm telling you, after Corey, the rain came in. A lot of people had to go hiding. We were fortunate.
Starting point is 00:15:55 We were hiding in the pavilion. And we were lucky, but we were able to kind of skip the middle two ones and go right into Limp Bizkit. And they had a ton of people when it filled up. The Limp Bizkit crowd went nuts. The parking lot was totally packed, which I knew that was a sellout crowd. I just was like, wow, Limp Bizkit sells out?
Starting point is 00:16:17 Yeah, they took a really good live show. We did have nice tickets and we had the nice passes. Shout out again, Boat Works and St. Clair Shores. Appreciate that. I just want to play the finale nice uh... tickets so we had the best passes shot again boat works in uh... st claire sure they clear shores appreciate that i just wanna play the finale that we talk about when this could you want to but this is the way it is the powerful way the korey and to show
Starting point is 00:16:36 as an opening act with the first band out of bills like four bands this is embarrassing. Oh, is he standing on the amp there? Tell me, tell me, can you hear my laugh? You can hear it and want it and laugh, it's so simple Tell me, why do we fight when the love won't die? I can't stand the rot, can makes in the drum sound. It doesn't get very far off the ground. Oh, it's not over, it's not over, it can't be over. Yeah! Not very athletic is he? We want more!
Starting point is 00:17:50 We want more! We want more! We want more! Look how fast those curtains closed. Cause they were scared of Brandon. A couple other bands played Bones and see the one that's from Holly the local guy we did miss them. Were the backing vocals in that last song just awful?
Starting point is 00:18:13 Doesn't that prove that Corey's tone-deaf because you'd go back and listen to this and go I you can't be in my band that far. No way. We had to take a microphone away from you. You know I feel bad for Reed? Do you know who Jimmy Reed is? No. He's the saxophone player who you could hear no saxophone. That's right, I forgot about that. I was all excited for the sax guy to come out. When there was no sax. When Corey soloed, he just played what Corey was singing. When Corey introduced him, he goes, he's introduced to the band, he's like, and here's Jimmy. Jimmy Reed. And I'm like, did he just make up this guy's last name?
Starting point is 00:18:43 He totally forgot his last name. Jimmy Reed looks at I'm like, did he just make up this guy's last name the guy totally forgot his last name Jimmy Reid looks at the angel like I guess that's my name now See if I can find this video has a read on the mouthpiece exactly Glass I thought they were gonna come out and do a lost boys type thing Yeah, that's what I thought he was gonna be hump in the air with the saxophone. I was really looking forward I told you I was disappointed. They didn't play the Lost Boys song. Yeah, I know. It's hard to be disappointed in a show like that. But I swear to God I could not hear the sax. I was like, is he really playing this day?
Starting point is 00:19:11 Is he not mic'd? What's going on? Poor Jimmy Reed. Oh well. So, Olympus... Wait, this might be it. Hang on. Let me see if this is...
Starting point is 00:19:19 Oh, maybe not. Let me see what this one is. I mean, the saxophone player is out there but can you hear it oh that's when Cory's climbing up damn it I felt like the drummer was auditioning for some talent scout that was the show he was hyped up see Jimmy Reed is blaring into that microphone Blaring into that microphone I mean you don't hear there do you know?
Starting point is 00:19:58 They came out they did a fantastic show the crowd went bonkers for them and as a special treat in my v6 for the very very second time they played a break break stuff. They played it twice, first and last. Smart move. Is that being a classic? I looked at some of the stuff and they called it the reprise. That's right. I mean it's not exactly the safety dance. It's a great tune though. Everybody just jumps up and down and they decided to bring out everybody. They brought off Riff Raff, they brought out Corey, they brought out his angel, they brought out the two guys from Pink Floyd, and they all kind of performed. What I did though, I saw Corey come out for this
Starting point is 00:20:32 and I focused my camera just on him. So we'll watch Corey during the ending of the Limp Bizkit concert. Boy, it sure is a much bigger crowd there. Yeah. So you can see Corey, but I'm gonna pop to zoom in on him And everybody's kind of bounce into the groove and Cory's just doing his Michael Jackson dance Are you serious? Yeah? Yeah, he's doing the spins and stuff
Starting point is 00:20:58 Do you see him there drew or no? I'm gonna zoom in right here. Oh, there he is. I see him. Oh, the place went nuts. But I couldn't keep my eyes off Corey, he stole even the finale. Oh there's the drummer on the guitar player with that. There's fucking riff raff behind him. How'd they sound? Sounded great. Biscuit? I thought they were great.
Starting point is 00:21:43 They're fun man. They put on a good show they brought up some chicks from the crowd said who knows this song these two sisters said they did so they brought them up and he did really well they did really well as a very impressive like how the fuck are they pulling this off right now they plants where they dance maybe it didn't seem like it but maybe West Portland's I just I think he's got a good groove. I don't know how to explain it.
Starting point is 00:22:07 I don't know how good a guitar player he is. Remember when he used to live here for a few years when he quit? Yeah, he was around, I remember that. I just, I didn't realize there were actually going to be like a ton of Limp Bizkit fans there. I don't know why I didn't think that. Just because it's called Loserville, I thought that it was kind of like a joke now, like Limp Bizkit's a joke band. That's what I thought. Everybody I talked to had this line, there we go, do you guys know any of these guys in between Corey and Limp Bizkit? Nobody knew Bones or Nate No Name or whatever it
Starting point is 00:22:36 was. That's weird too. It's a waste. I don't understand why they needed two unknown bands in between them and Corey. And then I was talking to Jay and Jay, he was saying, well, you know, I got a son who's 17 he actually listens to Bones so it's just this weird range. Yeah there were a lot of younger people there. Yeah a lot of kids there. Little kids. He was a six-year-old right next to me and then I believe her ten-year-old brother got on stage and was able to dance during Faith. That was cool. I could be wrong about this but I thought like five years ago, Limp Bizkit, it was over, it was a joke, it was kind of derided.
Starting point is 00:23:10 And then when we saw them at Lollapalooza, which, we watching that on MaxMark or Netflix or something? Oh, Lollapalooza? Or are you talking about, I mean, Woodstock 99 was the famous one. No, I mean, when they were at Lollapalooza in 2020 or 2021, remember that? Yes, yes, I'm sorry. Yeah, they were really good And it seemed like after that there was more interest in them. I mean Fred looked a lot different true
Starting point is 00:23:31 I'm you know, I'm 48. I'm right in that that age And loved limp when they were big their nostalgia act now Yeah, for sure there and so a lot of their fans that were that were into them in the late 90s early 2000s are now adults that have money and can afford to go to the show and they did I guess if you really really really listen to something when you're you know between say 16 and 22 Whatever it is you will want to listen to it 30 years later No matter how shitty it is or how good it is corn is touring corn is coming to DTE and I want to see them
Starting point is 00:24:04 I just saw no effects which that band formed in 83, which is crazy, but they're doing their final tour. I think you're basically saying you didn't think that music would have longevity, the rap rock stuff? Yeah. I mean I guess, which I'm kind of surprised it does, but I love listening to it when I'm going to cut the grass or something when I need to be a little because it's just that they put on a good show It's a good performance by my buddy Brian who I was with who is the big Limp Bizkit fan didn't like the set list not enough deep cuts Carl how big an arena did no effects play
Starting point is 00:24:44 i love it that that's great carl hobbigan arena did not explain uh... three thousand person place but they played three dates in a row alone those in the host twenty two thousand i guess i never would have thought they would have played arenas that big but something to play something bigger than one that is big theater for sure but you know if the funny thing is is that uh... i couldn't do point del points i was messing with shooey
Starting point is 00:25:03 that was in the little to go to see no it because I'd go in and see no effects. And he said something about a midlife crisis. I'm like, I'm going to be the youngest guy there. It's all old guys going to these rock shows. Now, rock and roll is for old guys. All right, well, moving on from Loserville, Carl's promised to bring some greatest hits in today, and actually breaking news, as it turns out.
Starting point is 00:25:24 OK, so since we're talking about losers, let's talk about Stuttering John. greatest hits in today and actually breaking news as it turns out uh... okay so since we're talking about losers let's talk about seven hundred that's the range of the show yesterday as he's ought to do and he started like he always starts where he's not prepared and his green screen is that sort of the background
Starting point is 00:25:40 freaks out realizes it's all fucked up does this every time. Yeah, I mean, you can see it right there, that sliver. And the thing is, is that John's trying to hide where he is. So John just got served with a lawsuit from this guy. He did get served? Yes, it's official. All right, Carl, I don't know if you're going to get to it,
Starting point is 00:25:57 because I will load the clips, but I don't like to watch him until we watch him. Yeah. But the one thing I notice is, what's going on with his hair? Well, he's got a really bad dye job. Yeah, OK, thank you. But it's like blondish red. It's like a strawberry blonde now.
Starting point is 00:26:12 Oh, this is a funny thing. I didn't pull the clip because it's going a little deep in the devil verse. But the other day, we were making fun of Johnny at this giant stain on his sleeve. Yeah, it's like oil. Yeah, and I showed my wife. My wife goes, oh, yeah, that's hair dye. Yeah, and I showed my wife, my wife goes, oh yeah, that's hair dye.
Starting point is 00:26:27 He was definitely dying his own hair and he screwed up and dropped a clump of it. So, I'm, the show yesterday, and left the shirt on. That's my favorite part about it. I didn't realize it. He goes, I must be sweat. He's like, oh no, that's not sweat. But what's crazy is that on today's show, he pulls up his sleeve a little bit, there's a tattoo there. He only shows a little bit of it, and he goes, yeah, I was being coy. Actually, that stain I had was from my tattooing. Oh, you fucking liar. He's a fucking liar because there's no way, I think this tattoo that he has is a temporary tattoo thing that he put on,
Starting point is 00:27:00 because he goes, if you guys want to see it, you have to super chat me. But he doesn't deny dying his hair. No, of course not. put on because he goes, if you guys want to see it, you have to super chat me. He doesn't deny dying his hair. No, of course not. Okay, I know why. He's embarrassed that he was dying his own hair. That's why. Yeah, because he claims to go to Super Clips or wherever he goes to.
Starting point is 00:27:16 Where? Lady Jade's? Super cuts. He goes to Lady Jade's. And he's just like, oh yeah, you know, that's where I go. But you can tell he doesn't himself. There's no professional in the world that would do that bad of a dye chop.
Starting point is 00:27:26 Yeah, it looks ridiculous. And there's also no one who would be wealthy, as John claims to be, that would dye their own hair. A star at his age. You don't go to CVS when you want to change your hair color when you have money. No. Is he growing it out now, too?
Starting point is 00:27:39 Is that because of the bald accusations? I feel like it's a lot longer than it's been. Yeah, you could be on to something. He changes his hairstyle up a lot. Okay, all right, so this is the green screen. Yeah, start of the show. My green screen. There it is.
Starting point is 00:27:54 He always does it the wrong way because it's not mirrored. Why wouldn't he edit this out? No. It's everything live. Yeah, it's everything. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. How y'all doing? Just do it. That's his funniest joke that he does. He does it over and over and over again every episode insinuates that you're homosexual, correct? He's even doing the limp wrist thing now when he says just do it
Starting point is 00:28:26 Yeah, he believes Carl is gay and he believes that because Carl doesn't have any children so that makes him homosexual He's so active in supporting the LGBTQ community I'm surprised that he would make that he was that would to front even be an accusation Despite that calling somebody gay is like his biggest insult like he for feels like that's a huge hurtful thing to say. Which means that's the biggest insult you could give to him. So when he says it to people, he's really trying to hurt them. All right, so.
Starting point is 00:28:53 He's very manly. The next clip, I'm gonna introduce you guys to something. There's a clip that got put on one of these subreddits that John looks at, and it's me talking about how I don't think that these phone calls he had with Kate Meany, there's some real personal shit he said to Kate about his family and things about like his kids and stuff like that. And it's been played places and I don't agree with playing that. I don't think it's entertaining and it's sad for John. It's like Billy Ray Cyrus. Right. Sounds pretty gay.
Starting point is 00:29:24 So my clip eight here, it starts with the stream yard fail. So John's playing that clip of me. So it's a half a second. So you get the context. I don't like to hear myself while I'm on a show, but John tries to like take over the screen and comment on it, but he keeps putting the video up instead of him. This is really funny. I'm not trying to ruin the guy's life. That's not my thing. Well, a go, weren't you? I mean, I don't understand.
Starting point is 00:29:52 You were all in before, so what happened? Is it because you know the law? I love that he kept hitting the same button. cause you know the law. I love that he kept hitting the, there's this big lawsuit. He's working with a new attorney. I told you I talked to his attorney. He's got a new attorney, because that attorney didn't intimidate any of us.
Starting point is 00:30:31 Oh, it just went OK, whatever. So Jack goes, I had to get a new attorney, because no one took him seriously. So now that I came out and I said, yeah, I don't think you should play like personal stuff from the Kate Meany calls, he's decided he's no longer suing me. Hey.
Starting point is 00:30:45 Interesting. So Lady Kate, then I don't, I, okay, then you're not involved. I actually gotta then get my, you know, contact my attorney and take your name off of the list of- Whew, congratulations. But I know you were threatening to play them. I have a tip, you saying that you have, it's salacious
Starting point is 00:31:05 and you know, that's not good either. Saying all this shit, you did say that. But I might let you up the hook because if you're turning the other cheek and you're saying, no, it's wrong, you know, I might fucking, yeah, I'm not gonna include you. There you go. You're gonna what? Yeah, so what was that word? How much I'm not gonna include you So what was that word how much money is that gonna save you Carl by not be included I actually now I have FOMO I
Starting point is 00:31:34 Kind of want to be part of this lawsuit Like I feel like he's leaving me out now that kind of sucks It's a bummer. I want him to sue you for defamation for saying they're salacious, right? And you can enter them into the case He thinks he can sue people for hurting his feelings for their opinion for some reason I've heard the phone calls. He sounds pathetic Is that illegal for me to say John sounds wildly pathetic trying to hit on a girl way out of his league Deformation yeah, that's less than half his age. That's you know, I have to admit I'm not for playing recorded phone calls without someone's knowledge,
Starting point is 00:32:08 but I would like to hear him hitting on her. Like when he's hitting the hardest. Devilcon 2, whtplive.com, August 16th and 17th in Rochester. I believe that those tapes will be played. Oh wow. You'll be able to hear that. Is there any particular move you could at least
Starting point is 00:32:23 maybe tease us with or mention something that he does that makes him? I played some AI versions of it on my show you might have heard where he talks about they're gonna get married and live in the Bahamas together. On a beach together. On a beach together and you know my future wife I just want you to know blah blah blah. Whenever she says something that he loves he's just like I'll just marry me now. Yes right if they like relate to on something. Does he ever say like I want to suck your tits? And just for the record I feel like I need to clear this up me saying what I said about the Kate Meany tape has nothing to do with any lawsuit. John keeps saying well Carl's
Starting point is 00:33:02 wising up doesn't want to get sued that's why he said that. Right. Nothing to do with any lawsuit jackie said well carl's rising up as i get see that's why i said that i nothing to do with that you know it's not what you said that's not what the good news is that all that's doing anyone jabs stop it no one pictures to make anyone we just played earlier on the show three different celebrities had tapes leah that everyone played it's newsworthy uh... europe media outlets can play this stuff what's newsworthy and john your giant celebrity world jones of cell what he's telling us how would be a celebrity is so right it's a very hard
Starting point is 00:33:32 to get to get some of this element of all well alright so don buckwald just passed away don buckwald howard stern's agent legendary agent for howard stern i mean you gotta say the guys good at what he does yeah absolutely fact that he got that second deal with Sirius XM after Artie was gone. What the? Anyway, Don Buchwald's very good at what he does.
Starting point is 00:33:53 He was also an agent for the other guys on the Stern show. He just passed away and what John likes to do is pay a tribute, eulogize. We've heard him eulogize people before. He does a very respectful job at it. Yes, when someone dies that John knew in real life, I'm like, I wonder what nice things John has to say about this guy. My clip number nine is where this starts. Now his daughter, I think, was Gretchen,
Starting point is 00:34:19 and I guess I'll give condolences to the Buckwald family. That's good. Because they don't have anything to do with their dad, who I really viewed as being a monster. And I would love to say something nice, but I have zero to say nice. I'd love to say something nice.
Starting point is 00:34:39 I don't think he knows what that means. Like you could say, you why all the time? I don't wanna say anything about the family, but your dad was a monster you think he would have something nice because he was getting a lot of gigs with snow while he was a part of the stern show a lot of secondary gigs because of that and you think that this agent might have helped out in that area i'm gonna get into that brandon
Starting point is 00:34:57 yeah if he want to say nice things he could have but who else is he eulogized asa rap who else is he was really ralph ralph crazy cabbie up and just bashing those people and i was a horrible those thought they were monsters yes is there anyone is used as that's not a monster
Starting point is 00:35:16 there's only one sam kineson all kinds of very nice to him that the night you know i got off to betray him therefore he's a great guy. Did John tell a story? Did he insert himself into Kinnison's death? Of course he did. Really on brand. He told Sam Kinnison's, he had Sam Kinnison's brother on the show and it wasn't like an anniversary of his death or his birthday or anything, it was just a random date. Sam Kinnison's brother comes on and John goes, know, Sam told me that I was like his brother. That's also the the time when he was having technical problems and he said maybe you should
Starting point is 00:35:53 leave the room, meaning the zoom, and Sam's brother left the room. It wasn't connecting the audios or he goes leave the room and come back in. He goes okay and he gets up and walks out. He's an older man. It was very awkward. It's one of the funniest things ever All right clip number ten so this is again John has nothing nice to say about Don't even when Ralph, so relid died. I had some nice things to say When crazy cabbie died I had some nice things to say I Don'tzy Kaby died, I had some nice things to say. I don't have anything nice to say about Don Buckwell. It's crazy, he's like bragging about having some nice things
Starting point is 00:36:32 to say about guys that he knew who recently passed away. What a piece of shit. How many times does he say I don't have nice things to say about Don Buckwell? Because that's twice. Oh yeah, it goes on and on. And then he starts saying the negative things that he has to say. but this is crazy to me so he explains
Starting point is 00:36:48 his history with Don buckwald my clip number 12 he's gonna get into now if you're not aware of this Howard Stern had this thing that's referred to as the Channel 9 show yeah it was a television show that was local to New York mm-hmm and it was late night show, I think it was Saturday nights up against SNL, if I'm not mistaken, at least it was at some point. And it was kind of a cult following, people who are into Howard Stern really loved the Channel 9 show. If you go back and watch the bits now, I don't know if it holds up. There's a great Corey Feldman one that holds up. Oh my god. Was it in a lot of
Starting point is 00:37:21 other markets? It wasn't. It wasn't? Only in New York? That's it? I remember me and my friends, like we wanted to watch it and we couldn't. We heard them talk about it and all this stuff and it wasn't in our market. That's weird because I've seen clips of it, you know, not just Corey Feldman. So I thought, oh, it must have been in some other markets. It must have been in some, but... God, people talked about that show a lot though. They did all right and of course there was Three big stars on that show They paid me
Starting point is 00:37:53 750 a week Which to me then was a lot of money since I was making zero at K rock So I got the 750 a week at K-Rock. So I got to 750 a week, which was really lame considering I was the biggest part of that show. I mean, even when the reviews came in, nobody liked Howard, Robin, and the show, but they loved me. And it killed Howard to say it. He was the only reason why anyone was even watching the show. Did you know that? What? The reviews gave me they all hated Howard and Robin
Starting point is 00:38:28 and the show, but they loved John Valendez. Did he do a lot of stuff on the show? He's insane. He's an insane person. I don't know what he's thinking there. What the fuck? I do remember him making a big deal about, there was a sales piece and there was a picture of
Starting point is 00:38:44 Robin, Howard and me that they use. So I was like the number three on the show. He's brought this up 50 times in the last. One fucking sales piece that some, probably nobody's sales person just happened to put together. Is there a picture I can use? It's sales collateral. It's not a big deal, John.
Starting point is 00:39:02 It's how they're marketing. Okay, so clip number 13, Howard tells John, okay, now that we're doing this show, he's making $750 a week, and John goes to Howard. He says, I want to make more money than that. He goes, well, work with Don. Have Don be your agent. Let him negotiate.
Starting point is 00:39:19 So remember- When he said zero for K-Rock, did he mean zero, zero, zero? Nothing? He was an intern, probably. No, he was making, oh, yes, he was an intern. Yeah, well, he he mean zero zero zero? It was nothing probably. Oh, yes He was an intern. Yeah, well, he was making zero. Yes, okay but he's making 750 a week with with the Channel 9 show and Remember, he said he had nothing nice to say about that buck wall clip 13
Starting point is 00:39:38 You know called on and you know, he'll get you. You know, he'll get you more money so I called Don Buchwald. I signed all the papers saying that Don Buchwald is gonna be my agent. And he represented me for the Channel 9 show. And he doubled my salary. I got 1,500 a month, which was fucking a lot of money to me. All right, well, there you go. There was fucking a lot of money to me. All right, well there you go,
Starting point is 00:40:06 there's a nice thing to say right there. What a monster. Didn't he say $750 a week before? Yeah, I think he just misspoke there. Oh, okay. I think. So $1,500 a week. Maybe John didn't understand the math
Starting point is 00:40:17 that he actually got to pay cut. Wait, this guy misspoke? That's even funnier. What would you think about $1,500 a month? A month. That's funny, that's a good idea. All right, so now John goes on to explain all the things that Don Buckwald fucked up for him because John's this mega talent trying to make it in show business and his agents
Starting point is 00:40:38 not getting him the gigs that he wants. Damn. The first I believe is when in the heyday of stuttering John, I asked Don if I could, if he could get me on the Joan Rivers show. She was doing like, I think the 1230 slot, I forget, or get me on Conan on one of the shows. And Don said to me, what are you going to do? And I'm like, well, I thought I'd be funny on there.
Starting point is 00:41:12 And I think I could handle myself. And imagine your agent saying to you, what are you going to do? Yeah, he was right. The agent was right. Don Buchwald goes, thank God I have stuttering John. I make 10% of the $1,500 a month. I make $150 a month off this guy. I know, right? I think that's another nice thing he said about him because he saved him all that embarrassment of what would have happened if he went on
Starting point is 00:41:37 Conan or Joan Rivers. Guys, let's think about this. I know that in John's mind, the Howard Stern Show was the biggest deal in the world and that's all anyone listened to and talked about. But at that time time it was only in a few markets. The Channel Nine show I believe was only in New York and John thinks he's going to get booked on Conan. He's the stunt boy on a radio show in New York and he thinks he's going to get booked on Conan or the Joan Rivers show. Howard was on Letterman pretty early on because Letterman just like really liked him. I liked him, yeah. They were in the same building so he was always available.
Starting point is 00:42:06 So Howard got a lot of publicity for what he did in New York. Right he did a good job with that but even Howard wasn't being asked to be on national television shows all the time he wasn't a national guy. John Mendes was definitely not a national guy at all and he's mad at Don Buchwald for not like going to bat for him. I'll be funny come on. Right what are you gonna do you're gonna sit down with an interview and be like, alright, so you're an intern with the Howard Stern Show? I'm the number three, there's a photo.
Starting point is 00:42:33 So stupid. So, Don Buchwald, we miss you buddy, you were one of the first ones to understand that John has zero talent. The next thing that John complains about is this t-shirt deal. He goes, then I go to Don, this guy wanted to make Sutherland John t-shirts. And Don would do this thing where he'd go, let me call Howard and see. And then John's like, never mind, never mind. It's crazy though, because Howard has talked about this many times. He goes, I could have sold t-shirts.
Starting point is 00:43:02 I could have sold merchandise. I never wanted to do that to my audience. I wasn't here to try to make as much money as I could off of my audience. So the fact that John would even approach Howard's agent, his agent too, and say I want to sell t-shirts shows how dumb he is. He's not understanding the show that he's on and what that's all about. Well, it sounds like he thinks he's gonna do an end run around Howard. Howard's not gonna find out, and Don's not gonna get any trouble for that.
Starting point is 00:43:29 Yeah, another good point. Don's gonna save his ass. He's gonna be livin' at Don. Right. So that's why John's all mad at Don Buchwald because people came to him with opportunities to make money and Don begged, I don't think he should do that. So, my last clip on here, this is a whopper.
Starting point is 00:43:48 I've not heard this one before, but apparently John recorded a song for an advertiser in LA, a company called Golden State Insurance. You guys have radio background, listen to this whopper. Forget the name of the sponsor, it was a California company, Golden State Insurance. So I already had a song, so I just played the song
Starting point is 00:44:12 and sped it up and it was like, holy shit, I'm here at Golden State. You know, it's insurance that has the best rates, you know, and I sang a song. Apparently, that commercial became a big hit in LA. And the radio was getting fucking requests for it of me singing a fucking commercial with an acoustic. No, they weren't.
Starting point is 00:44:35 This is all, that's a fact, Jack. Oh, that's a fact. So, then, you know, I don't then bring me again. Why don't you ask me? And I'm like, I thought I was helped. I thought that, you know, and I was stupid. All right, very good. What?
Starting point is 00:44:58 Now, this is one of John's tells. You can tell when he's lying. Cause that's when he really gets flustered and starts stammering a lot and the station was getting requests for my commercial and then they were gonna hold a parade for me and then Don was like you can't go to your old parade my song was number nine on the top ten commercial commercial commercial nobody he was like singing a little part of it, it had a, didn't he swear? Swear word of me.
Starting point is 00:45:32 That wasn't playing on the radio, you idiot. It just didn't sound like that great a song. No, probably wasn't the best song. Not even a commercial jingle. Anyone out there grew up in LA in the early 90s let us know if you remember that yeah that commercial commercial is Golden State insurance is that real who knows well not if they're using a John song they're probably out of business so that's what John's up to eulogizing his buddy Don Buchwald no
Starting point is 00:46:01 one does it better than John Melendez. He was a dick. Are we going on to Woke Dad? Because we could introduce him with this song. I would love to. All right, I gotta get a droid dabbling machine to do a shortened version of this for this occasion. I would do anything in my power to keep him happy, healthy, and safe.
Starting point is 00:46:21 The name that they would call their superhero was... I stand up against injustice. Standing up for what's right. Dress up and have fun. I call them out on his bad behavior. Homophobia. Transphobia. It's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life. I create safe spaces for kids. I have two queer kids myself. Kids in the trans community.
Starting point is 00:46:53 Sometimes it just takes me correcting people. Homophobia. Transphobia. I'm my kid's superhero. Trying to make the world a better place. LGBTQIA. LGBTQIA. LGBTQIA, LGBTQIA. Roll Down!
Starting point is 00:47:11 I see Golden State Mutual Life Insurance. Golden Insurance LLC. Wait, Drew, you're working, assuming that he still knew the name of the company, when he's like, I don't remember the name of the company. Golden, it sounded like a company you made up. And how did they go to him to do the jiggle they didn't story ever happen it's a whopper right it's a whopper I had never heard it before I mean for his list of resume brags you think that would make it in from time to time they can request for my
Starting point is 00:47:41 commercial it was that good but the fact that he had to say, no for real, I'm not lying. Like as soon as he says that, you're lying. You're lying, obviously. I know that sounds fall fetched because it is. I swear to God. Alright, so Woke Dad is this guy, Dan Alexander. He lives in central New York State. He operates a mobile coffee shop and right now he is building an art studio for children of the LGBTQIA plus community. It's gonna be a safe space. As
Starting point is 00:48:16 well as other marginalized groups, a safe space for them to create art. And Daniel Alexander figured something out that I think every influencer, content creator, they all come to this epiphany at one point or another. And let the e-begging begin on this TikTok that he just put out. Can I share with you a dream of mine that would help to save the lives of a lot of kids? I just realized that if every single person who follows me were to donate the cost of
Starting point is 00:48:49 just a cup of coffee, a small cup of coffee, just three bucks, then I could operate my art studio for an entire decade and I would never have to ask for a dime from a single kiddo who used it. That would change the lives of thousands of kids. That would give them a place to be safe and to heal and to grow for three bucks a person. It's a pretty amazing dream. And it would aggrandize you. You know, I had a crazy dream last night too. Like if everyone just signed up for my Patreon,
Starting point is 00:49:23 patreon.com, let's go to these podcasts, I can go on a pretty nice vacation. Hell yeah. Everyone listen to this show right now. It's five bucks a month for the Patreon, and I'd probably go to Europe for something. It'd be pretty sweet. He's got a coffee shop. Why doesn't he just donate the $3 a cup?
Starting point is 00:49:39 He's fundraising. The e-bagging is ridiculous. But you know what I mean? At a certain point, I've heard a lot of these creators go, you know, there's a lot of people watching me. If everyone just gave me a buck. I was like, why is everyone just giving me a buck? What's going on here? Not the way it works, but good job.
Starting point is 00:49:54 It's gotta be three bucks. Yeah. Okay, so we're gonna go through a little bit of a journey right now. So I went through the timeline, and I went back to when Biden announced he's not running for reelection. This rocked to woke dad's world. Yes, he just heard about it.
Starting point is 00:50:14 He had to go to TikTok to explain how awful this is for everyone. Just like me, a lot of you just heard about Biden and those feelings you're feeling right now. Those are valid. Oh, thanks. This is scary. This is scary for a lot of us. And you may be thinking you're a cis straight white dude. Why are you scared?
Starting point is 00:50:35 I was thinking that. This isn't gonna impact you. This definitely impacts me. This impacts all of the people that I care most about in this world. This potentially puts my partner at risk, my kids at risk. This is scary, but that's okay. We already talked about this, right?
Starting point is 00:50:53 I can't tell you what to do, but I already told you that I was voting blue, no matter who. I'm protecting our country, I'm protecting my kids. No, this isn't me just trying to rage bait or seek fear. I listened to the words that a narcissist told me and I believed it. Was it in the mirror? I've grown up with enough narcissists to know that this one isn't lying. So I choose not to vote for him no matter what your decision is yours we got this together even if it's scary
Starting point is 00:51:28 so voting for him isn't just making one vote it's protecting everyone correct protecting everyone well I mean I'm sure you saw at the recent Trump rally where Donald came up on the stage and he goes we're starting tournament camps every LGBTQI member if you have dark skin. They're all gay. Yeah I remember that the show the appears before that he said I'm canceling the Constitution and be a dictator day one and every day after. Democracy's over. So that's how his initial reaction was he's like oh this guy is falling this is really bad. So now he's gonna start pleading
Starting point is 00:52:05 with the white men out there who might be thinking like, oh, I don't know if I want to vote for Harris. Wait, but he hates us. I know, but he's gonna try to help us. Okay. Dear white men, this video is for you. And probably for all being honest, really specifically, liberal white men,
Starting point is 00:52:24 do you remember back months honest, really specifically, liberal white men. Do you remember back months ago, weeks ago, even days ago, when you were shouting from the rooftop, vote blue no matter who? Well now's the time to keep perpetuating that same rhetoric, because it's important now more than ever. I know as a cis straight white man myself That a lot of other straight white men see Somebody like a woman in a place of power or a black woman in a place of power and that can be kind of scary for them Their internal misogyny and their internal racism racism even though it doesn't show or bear
Starting point is 00:53:05 itself to the world. Oh shit, or you just don't like her. It was built into the systems that helped them benefit through their life. So you've either taken the time to process that or you've buried it down deep. Now's the time to let that go. Because Vice President Harris is the best person for this job. The rest of the community has rallied around her and now it's your time to step up. Now it's my time to step up. Yeah. Live up to my promises. Yeah. And vote blue. No matter who.
Starting point is 00:53:38 Well that's insane. It's a mixed message right there. He goes Kamala Harris is the best person for this job. felt blue i mean i had to submit her i would have to be dropped your guys come out also that's built in that you know it cheats those people in the heat of yet she's running for president so she got where that crazy at that so it's a system will allow it but it happened i love it he goes i know that seeing a black woman intimidates and scares you. I'm like, no, not at all. So I don't think she's black, but I guess that doesn't matter. So now,
Starting point is 00:54:17 fast forward a day or two. And apparently we were talking about this earlier, Harris had this rally and now the Democrats are super stoked about her. She's got all this energy. She's saying all the right things. And so we saw that Trump attempted assassination and it seemed like with that iconic photo and Trump's response to that, like everyone was railing around Trump and maybe this was gonna be a landslide. But whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, not the case at all.
Starting point is 00:54:42 Everyone's now going nuts for Kamala Harris. I've never seen anything like it in my life. But over the whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, not the case at all. Everyone's now going nuts for Kamala Harris. I've never seen anything like it in my life. But over the last few days, white women have been coming together and screaming from the rooftops. Women's rights are human rights, and Vice President Harris is my nominee. I don't know what to think of it, but I've never seen anything like this before in my life.
Starting point is 00:55:02 White men all over are leaving their misogyny at the door and screaming from the rooftops if it's gonna be ex-President Trump and it's gonna be President Biden, then it isn't just gonna be Kamala. It isn't just gonna be Kamala Harris, it's gonna be Vice President Harris because she deserves the same level of respect. I don't know what's going on. I've never seen anything like this in my life But I feel like as a community as a whole we've taken more steps in the last few days towards equity and equality
Starting point is 00:55:32 Than we have in my entire life Had more conversations with my kids about human rights in the last few days Then they've ever only talk about boring all they talk about. Boring. And I'm so freaking proud of the community that I belong to right now. Because this is the future that keeps my kids safe. And you're a part of it, and I'm so fucking proud of you.
Starting point is 00:56:01 Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Fired up over there. Whoa, dad. Could you please videotape these people screaming from the rooftops? I want to see the video! I haven't seen that. We didn't cover it earlier in the show. We were going through the political news. And when he wears a shirt and everybody wants to fight him, he never videotapes that. Can he please get his camera out? I'm starting to think it's always out. It's always pointed at him. Is that nuts? All of a sudden he went from like downtrodden like oh binds out
Starting point is 00:56:27 This is over and then he like pumped himself up read a couple of reddit posts watch some MSNBC now He's like yeah And he's proud of us yeah, so cool we can have a bottle we touched it's so affected by Everything yeah little thing he's too old for this, right? Yes. Like, when you've lived this many years, you must know it's not that important. Oh, you're **** talking about. Go enjoy these kids instead of having lectures and TED Talks with them. Go play with them, man. These kids, it's the only thing his
Starting point is 00:56:58 kids will talk about. No, it's the only thing. They need to get out. The only thing he wants to talk to them about. He goes, I don't want to talk about that with him. He He goes my kids have heard me talk to them more about human rights in the last two days They've heard their entire lives. Yeah, that sounds miserable And he talks about how he's you know, he has dual custody with the mom and She seems to have very different political beliefs that he does Oh, I could only imagine what she's hearing those two kids reiterate when they get back to her house. How old is this kid? Oh my
Starting point is 00:57:30 God. Do you have any idea how old the kids are? I know one's 13. That's the gay one. And I think the trans ones older. They don't want to sit and talk about this then. Oh, they love it. That's all they want to talk about. All right. so I have another clip on another TikTok video where he's responding to a comment. This is the other format that he has on the show. Oh, that's a good plan. Yeah, it's always good to give that a lot of air. Make sure that everyone sees it. If you put a negative comment on there, that he will address it and talk about it. So this is someone just saying like, hey, just so you know, right wingers, Republicans aren't anti-gay. They don't care about gay people like the way you think that they do. Yeah, the question is what makes you think the right is so anti-gay? I've met very few
Starting point is 00:58:17 right-winged people that have had any input other than that they don't want it forced on them. Correct. So yeah, he's going to address those. Of course. I really hate it when they force it on me, right? Like when you see a couple, man and woman kissing in public, totally forcing it on me. How about, oh, those gender reveal parties, gender reveal parties.
Starting point is 00:58:40 That's not actual gender. They're revealing their child's sex. They are revealing their child sex. They are revealing their child sex They're talking to public in public to other people other adults and children about their child's genitalia, that's how they're identifying their child to the world and What about like when a man and a woman propose on one of those megatrons like at a sporting event? woman propose on one of those Megatrons like at a sporting event. Megatron! Everybody watched that.
Starting point is 00:59:05 Tell the Johnson. Everybody has to be witness to that being forced on them. Do you see how silly this all sounds? I'm just your average everyday cis straight man. Yeah. But I'm not afraid. You lost me at Megatron, dude. I'm not insulted by two men showing their affection towards each other in public. I'm not afraid or I'm not insulted by two women showing their affection towards each other in public.
Starting point is 00:59:30 Hot! You're talking about people being upset about other people existing in the same way that they do, just with a different type of person than they would do that with. That's the difference. That's 100% the difference. God, I'd hate to be the straw man arguing with him because I would just lose every fucking time. This guy is the king of changing the argument
Starting point is 00:59:56 and just being like, you guys, you think it's force any why because there's a couple guys kissing in the street? I was going to say, was that part of the complaint? Nope, not even close. Oh, so he just projected what he wanted to be for his argument i'll make a uh... a quick example i'm sure there's lots more i think a lot of people are concerned about what children are learning about in schools as probably
Starting point is 01:00:13 a big part of this uh... thing that they're upset about but i'll tell you from my perspective the acolyte the star wars series where the main character has two moms for some reasons like it's Star Wars. We don't have to have gays and lesbians in Star Wars. There's no sex at all. What are we doing here? Luke and Leia seemed a little incestuous in the first one. Yeah, you're right. There was some kissing and Empire Strikes Back. I mean, Drew talks
Starting point is 01:00:39 about it. All right. So yeah, I just, I thought that was like such a ridiculous thing to say. Like he's purposely not understanding the argument. Yeah. So it's good to embarrass and humiliate the person complaining when you're explaining why they're wrong too. Oh yeah. They love that. That's how they learn. Exactly. All right. I have one more woke dad clip and we've talked about how he's a narcissist. this might be the best example of all time So he's again. He's responding. Can you read that mark? Yeah, hell is waiting on you. Okay So we've someone put in the in the comment section. How is waiting on you and this is his response to kind of a world It would be if the world down below is full of people like me
Starting point is 01:01:22 How amazing how wonderful wonderful, how glorious, how grand. If people stuck up for their neighbors instead of burying their head in the sand, it would be a world full of kindness and understanding and grace. No one be mad or mean No one be mad or mean or show anger to your face You'd uplift each other and uplift yourself because you're just as worth it as everyone else Kindness would be king in that type of hell Wouldn't that be a great world wouldn't that be swell swell? It would be hell. I'm a poet and I didn't even know it. Oh, fuck. If the world were full of people like me,
Starting point is 01:02:11 that would be the hell that you would see. It's interesting how the world goes round, even with all that hate that you've found. Have the day you deserve. Have the day you deserve. Have the day you deserve. Is he doing those bad rhymes on purpose? Yes, all of that was on purpose.
Starting point is 01:02:30 What a fucking asshole. Wouldn't there supposed to be a lot of bragging in that world he's talking about? A lot of judgment? Could you imagine thinking that if everyone was like me, the world would be a better place? Oh my God, no. That's a crazy thing to anything
Starting point is 01:02:44 and then be Sayon Tick Tock. It would be Nir better place. Oh my god, no. That's a crazy thing to a thing. And then be Sey on TikTok. It would be Nirvana if everyone was like him according to him. It's incredible, right? Yeah. Guys, I just wish everyone was perfect. You know, like me. I realize that everyone can be perfect, but if you just watch my TikTok and learn from me,
Starting point is 01:03:01 you'll be better. Oh, man. Good shit. Yes, Daniel Alexander, always delivering the goods on the shoe fits on TikTok. And it looks like, I think our audience has started to change him a little bit. Oh, he's definitely responding to those, it's very funny.
Starting point is 01:03:19 And the interactions seem to be shrinking for some reason. Nobody's trying to beat him up when he wears a t-shirt anymore. Yeah, he also doesn't have these, like, wacky stories every day. Life-changing stories? Yeah, it's almost like we called him on his bullshit and he realized that he's not getting away with it anymore. He's got a feeling they'll be back.
Starting point is 01:03:34 I hope so.
