Who Are These Podcasts? - Ep574 - O&A Replaces David Lee Roth
Episode Date: November 28, 2024David Lee Roth had a very short-lived radio career. When CBS recognized their mistake they had to go crawling back to Opie and Anthony. Erik Nagel brings some clips from DLR’s final radio show and h...is subsequent interview on the O&A show. DSPGaming, aka darksydephil, has been ebegging on his show for a long time and people have been pointing and laughing for just as long. Even Aaron Imholte used to clown this guy, but we discover that Aaron learned many of his techniques from DSP. Opie came out recently and said that his experience on O&A was so stressful he wishes he was never on that show and that it was a waste of his time. Erik, who was his producer, has a lot to say about this. Stuttering John actually thinks that Howard Stern is a huge fan of his. He keeps getting crazier. Eric Nagel - https://www.youtube.com/itseriknagel 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.

W A T P. W A T P. Hello, everybody. Welcome to another episode of Worthy's Podcast, the only show that doesn't mind eating a giant pile of turkey once in a while. I'm your host,
Carl, with me today, a man who was on radio back when it was cool from it's Eric Nagel. It's Eric Nagle
What's up, buddy? Yes radio is certainly not cool nor existing in today's modern world
It's not cool. Why did you get back on the radio is not cool being on the radio is not cool
No, and then when you have your CEO that did an appearance on MSNBC and trying to describe radio
And he was completely wrong and you're, there's no hope for this industry anymore.
All right, let's get into that in a second,
because I want to hear what he said.
We have a lot to talk about today,
but first I want to tell people to go to whoarethese.com
to get our email address, voicemail number,
link to our subreddit, link to our Discord server,
link to our merchandise, link to our YouTube channel,
and link to Patreon and Supercast,
featuring two exclusive bonus episodes
every single month.
You support the show, you get to watch the shows live when we air them on Wednesdays and Saturdays and we
appreciate you guys supporting us we also encourage our listeners to give us
a five-star review on Apple podcast or wherever you review podcasts and then
show us in the comment section today we'll be doing part two of David Lee
Roth's radio career we got some great feedback from the first one Eric brought
a ton of clips and we never got to because Darren wouldn't shut up.
No, I'm kidding, obviously.
Eric did a lot of good research on it and we decided to really just tackle David and
his first show on the air, taking over for Howard.
And I think that Eric wanted to focus a little bit on what happened with Opie and Anthony
taking over and the aftermath of David's last show and then happened with Opie and Anthony taking over and the aftermath
of David's like last show and then interviewed on Opie and Anthony. So we have some clips
for that to go around and I should mention we are pre-recording this is our Wednesday
show, our midweek show, but because the Isotopes are performing at radio social and it's Thanksgiving
time and stuff, we're getting this done early for for all you fine folks a busy week yes it's a busy week so we're doing this
for you so Erock thank you for being here no problem let's talk about going
on now I'll just spend my holidays with these guys I appreciate that I mean you
were just on the show a week or two ago and you're back already so thank I know
your audience doesn't like that they don't like repeat guests or guests in general.
Unless it's producer Chris they can't get enough of fucking producer Chris I can put
on a podcast called producer Chris and friends we get three times the downloads just with a
test tone on it. Stop it. We get positive reviews. So Eric where do you want to start? What are we looking at first here? Uh, well, there's a lot to go to. Um, we could start with probably, um, we should just start with David's last show.
Yes.
Since we were talking about everything, um, leading up to him getting the show and his whole tenure of having the show for about three and a half months.
Yeah. The shortest run possible. One ratings book came out and they went,
you gotta say work and we gotta get them out of here. Yeah. So, um, we, um,
I went through and I found his very last program and, uh,
pretty much the gist of this is he starts off his show saying that he just found
out that this is his last show.
And he had found out the previous day leaving his show.
He was apparently in his limousine or his car or whatever it was taking him home.
And he heard some kind of stunting stuff that there was a big announcement
coming Monday for the radio station.
And he didn't know what that was and he gets a
phone call from somebody in management saying hey tomorrow's your last show and when he came
in the next morning to do a show there was management that you know this isn't good when
management and lawyers are there for you know 5 a.m for a 6 a.m show that's never a good thing
i'm surprised they let him go back on the air for one last show because only bad things can happen right I
Assume they thought that well because he's such a big celebrity
He's not gonna go off like some kind of you know radio jock or
Something like that that he would have some decorum sure you know some sort of
Professionalism that's how I think about David Lee Roth, professionalism and decorum. Yeah. For sure, yeah.
So they led him on and he decided to tell everybody
that this was indeed his last show,
if you want to play clip one.
David Lee Roth.
Top top, 92.3, 3SF.
There's an elephant in the room,
let's not pretend to not notice it here.
Okay, my brief but colorful tenure
here as a broadcast hero has
officially come to a glorious and
colorful finish here like one of
those Chuck Norris movies.
What do you think?
No, it's obviously all over the
news and everybody's talking and
I guess we can introduce this
officially as the Opie and Andy show.
Okay, and I have not heard their show because
frankly friends, it's not an artistic vision, it's not an artistic view, it's not an editorial
view. I just simply don't usually get up this morning and get up this early in the morning
unless you pay me. And I think those of you who've been with me for the remainder of the
career besides the broadcast segment,
you know exactly what I mean.
When people say, well, they're the great morning show,
and I understand, it's just,
I don't usually get up in the morning, baby.
Okay, I mean, you don't have to comment on it at all,
and also you could also know the name of the show, I guess,
but it's fun.
It's fun to get things wrong when you don't like people.
A lot of people do that
Yeah, we have talked about I think we talked about on the last show where he says getting up early in the morning The majority of his tenure was he was already up the night before
or or he has that rock star schedule where he wakes up like 8 9 p.m. And
He was up throughout the night and then comes to do the show
So the show so the
show's done. The Anthony Kumia way of doing morning radio. Yeah and then you know the old
adage of four and out the door was the same for Mr. Lee Roth as he would hop
into his cargo home and he would crash for the rest of the day like you
couldn't reach him he wasn't out doing any kind of press or musical ventures or any of that stuff he was just living in his own world.
Who the fuck wants to get up at 4am every day E-Rock? It's miserable.
Nobody! Even if they're paying you, you don't want to get up and do it.
It's miserable. Who would even do that? I don't know anyone who would do that kind of schedule.
Honestly, I think if I had a morning radio gig I think I would try this way too.
Where it's like that's the end of my day the radio show that I've crashed after that
But I don't know that might be tough hit a couple bars on your way in
So yeah, so he's there and
There's management there like I said and I think from what I understood there's some sort of legal counsel
Also, they're not in the studio itself, but like there at the station in case things go awry
Listen to cut to here as he addresses that we can clarify right here because we're going through the whole dance
I've hired Darth Vader and sons as my litigating attorneys and they're going to be meeting with the characters upstairs and everything later on this afternoon
and we're gonna determine if the right thing is gonna to be done or if we're going to launch World War IX
and make some kind of well you know what I'm talking about and in fact I have the
same attorney that Howard Stern has. Pete Parcher is going to be getting involved
to a fair degree here and this is not an amicable split and I didn't offer to
quit I took aside the entire
year's worth here okay be young and i turned down over 100 gigs to make this show swing here that's
a whole lot of happy meals at mcdonald's baby okay i want to point out i've never heard david talk
like this before he's pissed he's flustered he's pissed he's hurt he's pissed. He's hurt. He's hurt? When he's doing those stammering things,
he doesn't talk like that.
No.
He is very angry and he wants millions of dollars.
Basically, let me just translate what he just said.
This company better offer me millions of dollars
in my severance package,
because I lost a lot of money by canceling tours.
I mean, that's the posturing you have to do.
But also he's just hurt.
Yeah. That someone said he wasn't good enough to do this job.
And he's like, I'm good enough to do every job I do.
What are you talking about?
Yeah, so I was digging around.
I can't really find out what CBS paid him off with.
Like if they just said,
hey, we're gonna give you the rest of your contract.
We'll pay you the rest of the contract you're just done.
What was his contract?
Was it three years?
I honestly don't know. That's the thing I was looking around. I couldn't really,
I probably knew back in the day, but I don't recall it now.
And no one's really, you know,
boasting about David Lee Roth's contractual agreements online.
They must've parted with millions of dollars though for this guy, right?
So my guess is I think they're just saying, look, we're, we'll,
we're willing to pay off the rest of the contract. Maybe they did it upfront.
Maybe they did it in an accelerated rate. I don't know.
I can't imagine that they're pulling him and then they say, we're going to pay
you. It's, it's worth it for us to pay you more to take you off the air
than to let you write out your contract.
I mean, look what happened with ONA
when they got fired the second time.
It was worth paying them their entire contract
and not letting them out of their agreement
so they couldn't go somewhere else to compete
or they weren't gonna pay any extra money
to be done with them.
They said, nope, we'll live up to the agreement.
You just can't work and you're not going to work.
But they weren't worried about David DeRoth
getting a gig at the competing station.
Oh, absolutely.
Well.
Wasn't the problem here.
Well, that's not entirely true.
Okay.
We'll find that out a little bit later in the clips here.
Okay.
The third clip is, oh, is pretty much reiterating
how he found out that he lost his show.
I found out yesterday in the car going home after work here that today is the official last day
Okay, so I told you before we play every single day like it was our last year
It's not a great way to find out obviously I think he's upset about that as well
No, but like you were saying last time we were on here
I think Darren was saying this to how difficult he was
To deal with so it was like one of those not it thing
He wants to tell David that he's gonna cancel everything. I'm not doing that shit
Are you kidding me?
My theory is that the reason why they told him when he got into the car on his way home was one they didn't have
To tell him in face to face, but two
They knew that was the only time they'd probably be able to get in touch with
him where he was awake. Right. Cause he's dancing during the commercial breaks. As we know he's
cranking music and dancing and getting electric shocked by sand everywhere playing in the sand.
He's building a castle. Mr. Roth, Mr. Roth, not now, not now. So they're like, well, we know he's
still awake on the car ride home. Give it about five minutes.
Start doing the stunting, the teasing, play that stuff during the commercial break,
and then we'll give him a call and see what's going on.
Also, I want to point out, too, the management at the time still was Tom Chiasano.
Oh, right. Yeah.
If you're a Howard Stern fan, of course you know who Tom was.
Tom was also our GM when we took over for free FM and part of the first
few months of K-Rock, I think either he retired or they paid him to leave
or whatever before other GMs and stuff took over.
But in fact, Stuttering John beat him at golf.
I don't know if you knew that.
Wow, there's an accomplishment
Yeah, Tom was there for this entire thing for the whole Howard run when Howard left
Taking over for Dave getting rid of Dave and then us coming in All right, let me ask a naive question because I didn't live in New York City
I wasn't in the market and like I said, we got Rovers morning glory. We didn't have David Lee Roth in Rochester, but
Morning Glory, we didn't have David Lee Roth in Rochester, but Open Anthony is on the radio this time and after on afternoons, right? No. Oh, we're on the, we're doing mornings at XM.
Oh, oh, okay. So they weren't on any FM station at this time? No, no. Actually, you know what,
the year before, this was 2006 when we took over. So like in the fall of 2005,
they actually were playing edited versions of our show,
I think up near whatever Weezus station was at the time,
a 95X.
94, yeah, it was either 95.1 or 94.1
when they were playing Open Anthony in the afternoons,
two to five edited versions of it.
We had a temporary deal with them.
It was a short term deal.
That's how I learned about them.
And then where?
Yeah, where they were taking this Satellite Morning Show
and they would edit everything and then play it,
I guess, in the afternoon or whatever.
So we went over live.
And fun story, Erock.
That was the first thing my wife and I bonded over,
was listening to Opie and Anthony in the afternoons.
And the day that they took them off the air
I think was the first time she texted me said where what the fuck happened? Where are these guys?
There's a healthy relationship
Yeah, so
That yeah, that was the first that was kind of what we were doing
we were doing little pocket stations to see if if syndication deal would be possible with satellite.
And then the CBS thing happened where, uh, I think I said on the last show,
we found out somewhere towards the end of February,
they started to reach out to, uh, to our, um, agent,
Bob.
They knew what the ratings buck was going to gonna be they didn't need to wait for that
They do they're like, okay, this is a disaster. We gotta fix this
So I know we had heard stuff from CBS and nothing really was coming to fruition until I think two weeks before
We we were taking over we were told this was happening. We obviously couldn't talk about it. We had to prep things differently and
How was that for you Iraq? Did you get a nice chunk of change from the station? We were told this was happening. We obviously couldn't talk about it. We had to prep things differently. And...
How was that for you, E-Rod?
Did you get a nice chunk of change from the station?
Well, here's what happened.
Resounding yes.
Well, here's what happened with that deal.
So, CBS insisted that our show be done in their studio
because they wanted us physically there.
Correct. So that because they're paying all this money, they wanted part of the show to
at least be at one of their properties.
They're like, we're going to clean up the sand.
We'll have it ready for you guys.
You got a whole crew this weekend.
They want their management, their dump people, all of that stuff.
They don't want to leave us to our own device, which is fine.
I get they also insisted they wanted, because Hope and Jim were independent contractors
and the rest of us were staff of XM, either through contract or through some of the guys
were I think hourly or something like that. And they had to work deals with the staff
too, where they were like, well, if the staff's going to be on air, New York cities, a union, um, you know,
through after and all that stuff, we're going to have to make those deals and
what have you, somehow that all went away right as we were getting ready to start
because then the deal was XM insisted that they were going to handle that.
So CBS paid XM whatever they were supposed to handle to take care of us so that we didn't also have CBS agreements.
Oh, weird. So you just got more money from XM.
Yeah, we were XM employees that were lend.
We were on a lending program to CBS and, um, yeah,
it was just a whole weird thing. I mean,
we could have made a lot more money if we also had
the CBS deals in place, but they worked it at the last minute
where, oh, you pay us and we'll pay them.
And that's just how it worked out.
And you didn't really have any ability to negotiate this thing.
You're going to take whatever deal they give you, right?
At that point, no.
Yeah, I had with XM.
I didn't have with CBS.
Yeah, so I was there.
I went to wherever XM approved CBS using us. So gotcha. That's where we were
So you got more clip on here from the last David Lee Roth episode. No, we have a we have a couple
No Dave talking about his ratings that he knew that he was terrible. Oh, okay. Okay, so cut four time for excuses
I like to do them early so nobody catches them
Of course we got crappy ratings. Are you dreaming? What part of your body are you dreaming out of?
I hear sound but I'm not sure what part of your body that's coming out of if you really thought that we were gonna what?
Hit it over the fence twice like in the Babe Ruth me a Get out of town, come on. This has been creating like a rock band.
Of course, I'm gonna relate it to something like that.
Would you ever expect to put together a band,
write an album's worth of songs,
rehearse the stage show to perfection,
and do it all in front of cities
like Dallas, Texas, or Boston?
Would you ever expect to say,
hey, we'll rehearse.
Oh, we're gonna rehearse for four hours a day
in front of New York City and Philadelphia.
No problem, we'll just work out the bugs.
Cleveland, Pittsburgh, drop in.
He's got a good point.
It was a terrible idea from the get go
that they were just gonna be this amazing morning show
right out of the gate.
I mean, it's a good way to save face the way he's presenting this,
but also because he's David Lee Roth. It's just a lot of shellac. It's just,
yeah,
we'll go all the way out here and then bring it all the way back to kind of
make the point you were making. It's like, you could have done that in 10 seconds.
Of course. But that's how David Lee Roth talks, obviously. But also,
I don't think he would have gotten good in two years
I don't think that if he had started in a small station, they gave a chance
He was gonna become an amazing broadcaster. No, he didn't listen and it's not like
Look, I mean, he's a celebrity so he can command a bunch of different things
But when you're going into a new medium if they put people around you said look, they're here to help you
They're here to show you how to do this so that you can find your own footing.
And then maybe at some point you won't need these people, but for now,
this is what you got to do. And he didn't even do that.
Like he didn't learn anything about doing radio. He just was,
he was acting like a guest on his own show every day. Like,
I'll regale you with some of my stories and my legacy and all that stuff.
Instead of being the host and driving the conversation somewhere.
Right.
And you can see he needed pauses to think of what he was going to take next by
ramming up the rock bed that where the rock never stops for some reason on his show.
That bed had to come up and then for 10 seconds he's pontificating in his head.
Episode with a music bad play at the entire time.
So that there's no dead. There's no dead.
There's no dead air.
There's no pregnant pauses for thought as you're reflecting
on something you played.
Whenever something happens, just pot up a rock bed of the
isotopes and then bring it back down.
Now you're speaking my language.
You're right.
Let's do that.
There you go.
All right.
I was wrong.
You do have a couple more clips on here from David Lee Roth's last episode ever
Alright, so this is now where this clip here is where Dave has options
He has a place to go CBS doesn't have him over a barrel like they think okay
I think what we're gonna do is we'll solve this like I said at some point
I'm gonna imagine relatively soon and the shouts are out already to serious radio and you know all the other etc etc and what that means more than anything for
us is beyond even satellite as it means television. He's getting fired from radio the TV
says like we got to get this guy. He thinks that he thinks that this is some
sort of reality show that could easily be translated to television.
And at this time, in the mid-2000s, is when all of these terrible reality shows were booming.
True, yeah.
You know, Survivor and then American Idol and those kind of things.
So it's like, well, every network's going for this.
I'm David Lee Roth.
We'll get at least a VH1 series out of this thing or something.
We all remember Dave TV, when he would take over MTV.
Who wasn't watching that shit?
It was great.
So he's got some reels and things he can show people.
My favorite part of this, because it happens now in the current
day, he thinks well that
there's just gonna be open pocketbooks at Sirius for right they just made this
big deal about Howard yeah there too you know we could follow in again in
Howard's footsteps it'll be perfect because he can do afternoon so he could
sleep in yeah by the way Robo shit stain MK 9000 the discord says he could see like a Osborne style ripoff with David Lee Roth
It Osborne's was huge at this time. Oh, yeah, but Dave has no family
Oh, yeah, Dave has no family. He lives it like this. Just be Dave stumbling around his backyard
Hucking a ham over his fence for no reason
No furniture that he's never been inside before
No reason. He lives in that place with no furniture
that he's never been inside before.
Didn't he, didn't Darren say
like three different residencies?
The windows are always open.
The windows always open.
Anyway.
Maybe they should have done it now that I'm thinking about it.
Maybe they should have.
They missed an opportunity with it.
But he's thinking, he's like,
oh, we'll just talk to Sirius.
Sirius is throwing around money.
Then, you know, we'll take that opportunity.
It's like now when, you know, a couple of years ago,
Rogan got the hundred million, the first real $100 million
deal with Spotify.
Everybody's like, oh, we could just make a deal
with Spotify now.
That's not gonna happen.
Spotify is just like spending ridiculous money on everybody.
And then unfortunately for DLR, he found out that
nobody cares.
Oh, there he is, with his partner.
Yeah, so it's that mindset when you see one thing happening where it's
Out of the blue kind of paving a new way for things to be done. Oh, we'll just get a hundred million dollars from Spotify
We'll go to Spotify. We'll go to serious XM
Right there down. Let's get a hundred million dollars from Spotify. Yeah, why didn't you think about that?
I want some of that internet money. Give me some of that internet money. Let's get a hundred million dollars from Spotify. Yeah, why didn't you think about that?
So the last clip here is Dave seeing the future of his show and entertainment, okay So there's a place for everybody and I think our place might well be to go
For the satellite because you know, they're gonna connect up
Would that make us
arch rivals or something? Because this is now, this station is teaming up with XM, right?
They've gone satellite. Smooth moves, Xlax. I told you that that was gonna happen, right? I told you about global warming in this.
And it came true, exactly. And next is gonna be the Internet.
Okay, that's a good prediction.
The internet.
It's 2006.
The internet's been there for at least a decade.
And that was the era of those two, three years in the middle where MySpace came to fruition,
Facebook was just starting to come out.
And later that year,
the iPhone is going to debut.
So this is the time for the internet.
Now, like, hey, let's do satellite first and then maybe the internet down the line.
It's like, no, it's happening now.
I got to give, hold on a second though.
I'll give David some credit because when did Adam Carolla go over to doing a internet show?
You know, I don't know if they call it a podcast back then,
but he did not have a lot of viewers or listeners.
Like people weren't quite ready for this yet.
No, at this time, right?
We didn't have all of smart phones.
We weren't able to just listen to streaming shit
and download them.
We had Pail Talk.
Pail Talk for sure, yes.
But I think obviously he's not gonna get a deal
from the satellite, but that probably was the right place
to go because there was a lot of buzz at that time
with Howard going over to satellite.
I know I had my serious radio the minute
Howard Stern was starting up over there.
I got a free one when they sent us down to,
the day Howard did his last show. He had a big kind
of gathering down in Union Square. Yeah. And he had his, he was on a stage with Artie and
everybody else and they were throwing out radios and I was there reporting back to our
show with a bunch of our fans that had the big billboards for with the cartoon, Opie
and Anthony stuff too. So every time there was a press shot, you see the serious shit.
But in the background is the ONA stuff.
And they were just handing out radio.
So as we're doing that, I'm like, I'll take a stiletto.
Why not? Right.
Took it home, threw it under my arm and got a free radio out of it.
What a shitty product that was to the original satellite radios
were such fucking
garbage yet haven't positioned in a certain place near a window. Yeah, we
can't one sucked. We had a deal when we were coming on. They had we had a
promotional deal for something they called the roadster and it was just this
cheap little thing. You had a magnetic antenna that you had to run a wire
through your windshield. I put it had the same thing in my car.
Yeah.
I had the wire going up through the door that like it fucking scratched up the top of the,
you know, the paint and everything.
So yeah.
And you had this little tiny thing there that had to have essentially what the, it's like
the, the, the, the hands-free phone clip for your air conditioning vent.
That's what you had the radio thing on.
And then in 2006, XM had the the the
Mifi, which was the first portable one that would work live.
If you were walking around and you could, you would get the signal.
Sirius had the stiletto, which was just this long black sleek.
It looked like a remote with no buttons.
Right.
But you could it's like, yeah, it's portable, but it wasn't live.
You had to record the programs that you wanted and then take
it with you. It was like the old iPod where you it's like,
oh, you can upload everything to the iPod and take it with
you, but you can't tap into anything current. And yeah, the
technology was so wonky for so long. Sucked so bad because I
had a very short commute into work the e-bombs world
And so I have to get to listen to Howard Stern on that short commute
And then it's not like it's streaming on the internet like everything is now right you get into work
And you can't listen to it anymore, and then they didn't run it on repeat back down either
So if you missed the Howard Stern show in the morning, it's done. It was all appointment. You missed it
Somebody reminded I can't find this clip for the life of me but somebody said we were
talking about E-bombs world once on ONA because we used to
have um I think his name was Drew from FARC. Okay. All the
time and whenever he was on, we would get emails from you guys.
Okay. So, let me explain what this is real quick. Okay. So,
you know, he was working very closely with brother Weze that we were gonna start a comedy club in Rochester
And we had wheeze he had all the connections with the comedians
So we had wheeze coming in weekly with meetings and we were talking about much different projects actually
So I got to see wheeze every Friday when I worked in the world
I would purposely listen to a stupid show so I knew what he was talking about so I can at least talk to him about whatever and
So you guys were talking about it wasn't fart, but it was another website
There was a competitor to ebombs. I'm blanking on it right now, but okay
I thought it was far because I knew we had that guy on time to time
Yeah, but there was another website that opi was always talking about. Oh, do you see the video on blah blah blah and I remember
On I think it might've been me going,
you know, OPI kids promoting this other thing.
And so, E-bomb and the guys told Weez to tell OPI
to talk about E-bomb's world
instead of the other competitive website.
And I remember when OPI was just like,
yeah, so I was looking at E-bomb's world.
And I'm like, okay, he's pissed,
and he asked if I could do this.
But. Of course. I gotta remember what the name of that site was.
If anyone in the chat remembers the other.
Yeah, there was something awful that was one of our competitors for sure.
But there's another big site that was similar to something awful.
Was that what became live leak or something?
I don't think so.
I think something awful still.
There was some website. I think something awful still there was some website.
I can't remember what it was. I know it became LiveLeak but or LiveLeak became something else.
We all were pulling from these prep sites and because we didn't have a prep service so we were
just pulling stuff off the internet, the news clips. We had to work. We had stuff in the back
office that was recording the news all the time so we could get the clips ourselves.
the back office that was recording the news all the time so we could get the clips ourselves. Norton's Prep was always that website that would show somebody stepping on a landmine
or beheading videos.
Yeah, yeah.
I was trying to think of that website the other day, but it was like everyone used to
go to that site and it was like faces of death.
It was like-
Yeah, and that's what he would bring in and we're all just, it's like 630, we're eating
Cheerios and stuff and he's like, oh, check out this this guy this Indian guy getting electrocuted climbing on a train and we're like all right thanks Jim
yeah I mean not that it wasn't funny but it's just at that time in the morning it's like
give it a couple hours before we delve into that the following Monday when we had to do a press
conference so what this was is we didn't, we weren't live that Monday,
because the brilliance of ONA figured out how to have them pay us for the day and not
have to do the show. Whereas like we'll just run teasers throughout the day on satellite
in the morning show that we put together and then we'll go live at 9am with CBS. And it
was the first joint venture of X7C CBS. So we're in this warehouse looking
studio because they ripped everything down that David Lee Roth had in the studio. And
we're there. They have these terrible printed signs for both CBS radio and XM satellite
radio just kind of like tacky taped onto the walls everywhere.
And in the studio with us is management from XM and management from CBS together.
Okay.
Agents.
We also had a syndication deal with Cumulus and Citadel.
So the heads of those companies were there too.
This was a whole big deal.
And yeah, we that's a little later on that photo and that's just to show what the studio
looked like once it was finished. Okay. But some of the
other photos you have there show just you see like the air
conditioning ducks, the wiring. Yeah, we're showing that. Yeah,
ceiling tiles are gone. So we were there that day. And we had
to explain to everybody what the big announcement was. And again,
there was a couple of things that kind of ruined this.
One was that Dave said it on Friday, but who cared? But also, uh,
Steve had posted information on our website without knowing that it wasn't
public information yet. Yeah. So look at this. There's no ceilings.
There's barely any recessed lighting. It's just a mess. Yeah.
Look, there's duct tape gaffers tape. Yeah. There's master Paul in the back there in a mess. Yeah. Look, there's duct tape gaffer tape.
Yeah. There's master Paul in the back there in a suit.
God, I, if I was in this, I wouldn't feel like we were doing anything that's going to be successful.
No, we didn't. It looks like it's going to be expecting like, all right,
let's see what the studio looked like.
Cause we knew what Howard studio looked like for all those years.
There was nothing. There's no floorboards. There's
no cool purple lighting anywhere. There's nothing there. And we're like, oh, this is what we're
reduced to. Got it. So yeah, in the press conference with CBS and XM, we talked about
how awkward this was that they had to come crawling back to us after years of saying
we were the worst things in radio. We could never be hired again.
We were the end all be all of this industry. And then they're like, you need to come here and get
rid of David Lee Roth for us. We hop on, we take over the entire Eastern seaboard.
How enjoyable was that for the opster? I bet he fucking relished in that.
Because now he got to sit in what,
this was what was weird. He got to sit in Howard's chair. Oh,
that's a big deal for him. And you go and it's like, yeah,
but it's not Howard's chair. It's not. It's Dave's chair. Right.
It's kind of like, um, um,
when Letterman was trying to take over the tonight show and Jay Leno got it.
And then there was still a deal that they were working out with NBC.
It's like, Hey, look, all right, well, Dave, we'll finish out the year with Jay.
And then you can take over the Tonight Show.
And Dave's talking to his agents like, yes, that's what I wanted.
And his agent saying, yeah, but you're not taking over.
That's not Carson's chair.
You're taking Jay's chair and you don't want to be lowered to that.
Right.
So, um, but that's where we were. we were in there. Here's something else that was fun
They never changed the board the updated board that they had there the custom button still said
Except for Howard's name it had Robin Fred
Jackie's name was still on there for the art thing
When they would engrave the buttons, the red button. Yeah. So somewhere I have
photos of those. If I find them, I'll send them over to you. So
already was the Jackie button. All those years. Okay. All these
years. Yeah. And then I sat at what was Fred's area, the
secondary board, because that's what connected us to XM that
other section right next to hope, hope just would play the rejoinder music and
Anything any other clips that he had?
News wise or whatever and that's pretty much all he did. We also had a third board
Pretty much all he did. I mean you gotta give him credit for doing things like this
No, that was actually Anthony
doing things like this.
No, that was actually Anthony.
Oh, that was Anthony.
That was Anthony. Yeah, that was Ovi doing that.
No, that's it.
Most of those drops were Anthony's doing.
When they were when they were funny and timed correctly,
those were Anthony's.
That makes more sense.
Yeah.
Sorry, Jack.
There's also a third board in another studio
that was relaying us to CBS, Citadel, all of that stuff.
So if we didn't dump it from our there and then Tom Chiasano had a dump button
There's a guy in the back that had a dump mud and that third studio setup also had a dump button
So at some point that I think I've heard any point
Yeah within two minutes if you didn't hit a dump button, then we're all fucked
But there was people on there blocking everything we did.
We had the press conference. We talked about everything and we talked about Dave where they really didn't shit
on Dave at that point.
They were just saying it's like, yeah, well, you knew this wasn't going to work.
I mean, but they had to put somebody on there.
I think at one point somebody said, yeah, but you had radio people in the other
markets. Why couldn't you have a radio person in this market? That never got answered. But we were
there. We were happy to do this. And we're announcing that on Wednesday we were officially
taking over. And then that was that. We're back on Terrestrial Radio. And to be honest,
we tried to make this move about 18 months ago. Yeah, about 18 months ago when
Howard announced that he was
leaving.
I'm like, well,
we got the perfect idea.
This is the move by the way.
Look what we do now.
Look what we do.
We do both.
We do both.
That was the move all along and
we couldn't talk anyone into it
about 18 months ago.
And thank God David Lee Roth did
what he did, which was absolutely
nothing.
And- Could you leave for Dave alone? And thank God David Lee Roth did what he did, which was absolutely nothing. Oh, and could you
leave for Dave alone? And did you enjoy the music in the 80s? And you'll give him a pass on this
whole radio thing. He said it. He said, it's not as easy as I thought it would be. A lot of guys in
entertainment think they could do radio. Some have been successful, but most people that go
from entertainment to radio fail miserably. Dave's been a great guest on a lot of-
I hate to agree with Opie, but that's pretty much the reason why Drew Lane took a liking
to who are these podcasts, because I would point out all these celebrities are like,
oh, I can do a podcast.
I'm an actor or I'm an entertainer or whatever.
It's like, no, you suck at this.
There is a certain talent that you need or certain techniques that you need in order
to run a radio show
Correctly itself. I'll give opie credit for that and a great guest on a lot of radio shows
He's high energy comes in has some great stories, but there's a big difference between
Being a guest on a show and doing a radio show
You got to do it for at least now four hours a day where you go in and have to do entertaining
radio right well it was kind of interesting that they replaced Howard with a guy that
never did radio before yeah you know I mean if you read the trades that was done on purpose
okay right I was done to purge the audience to make the next guys that come in look like
heroes and that was my theory that says oh I guess Anthony say that's stupid too.
Okay.
I read all the New York radio message boards and all the other ones.
And this was a grand plan.
See if you bring the ratings down to where five people are actually listening, if 10
people listen, you've doubled the audience and you're a hero.
You don't want to be the guy that replaces the guy.
Hey man, we have our problems with Howard.
We would have never wanted to follow him.
That would have been a nightmare.
Look, like you said, we did have our problems,
but we're not stupid.
So let David Lee Roth slide in to a couple of months.
Boof, out you go.
Hi, we're back.
And the Toxic Twins.
Toxic Twins are back.
How funny would it be if this show bombed and then they hired Sammy Hagar? Oh, I'd listen to that
With Gary Sharone is the news guy
That's great Jim love it
I found one of the parody things I put it in the folder if you want to oh, yeah
If you want to play that you enjoy a good parody song. Oh, you know me, E-Rock.
I do enjoy a good parody song.
All right, so this is a parody song from the Opie and Anthony show?
Yeah.
All right.
Was in the studio, on the radio, no one cared what I was saying
I took a big chance without my spandex pants
And the baldness I'm displaying
Every single day, I turn fans away
Nobody listened to me
When the end came I knew it's because I really blew. Now they've hired Opie and
Anthony. I ain't got no talents. Such a phony, such a phony. Why would somebody go and take
a chance on me? I guess things were bad
Should have played man-hailing songs
My show was a flop I got dropped
It's funny that the it wasn't supposed to be the punchline. I was like, now they've hired Opie.
Today's it's like, wow, that is pretty bad.
But I guess back then it was different.
Fun, fun for the times.
Well, since we're doing music, you found David singing with the Boston Pops.
Oh, producer Chris.
Yeah. It was my rock turned to sound of that idea last time, but we didn't have time and it's bad.
Okay, let's see what this is all about.
He made the Pops rock. What do you say?
Who remembers 1977 and the band Van Halen?
And the man who came out in front and changed the world of rock and roll forever.
He is the one the only
the head of cbs
I used to 77 come on
Oh wow, what year is this do you think? Those poor musicians had to learn this.
I gotta get paid in the fucking place.
Jump. I don't get paid enough fucking price jump
I just want to see the old people dancing in the audience. This is hip music that I'm listening to
He's wearing a suit vest and New Balance sneaker. It's a good look
But you know the the grandmother the eyes of is like if my grandkids can see me now that's
familiar
I guess you'd be leading the band
I love the vibes. No rock star energy whatsoever.
Like nothing.
He's like, I'm out here to do my corporate gig and I'll be on my way.
Yeah.
Raise some money for those kids.
I need to get the fuck out of here.
Oh, Dave.
All right.
Now that we have the music segment out of the way,
do you want to talk about Dave Lee Roth going on,
Opie and Anthony?
So, once this whole thing kind of settled down,
around 2007, we were starting to get ads like,
would you have Dave back on the show?
Yeah, we'd have Dave on the show.
Dave didn't want to come on the show, or Dave was not available,
whatever it was. For a while while he took off and was over
in Japan. Right. So he was living over there for awhile and, um,
learning karate. Yeah.
Then he came back and he was working for like the ambulance exchange somewhere
downtown Manhattan. So he was, uh, what is it?
EMS? Yeah.
EMT. And it took till 2013 before we finally got Dave back on the show.
And we are full into the Sirius XM hybrid, uh,
what it is now. Uh, and we're about a year away from the Opie and Anthony show completely imploding.
So we got him in under the wire here.
You have the first clip of him talking about finding out
about the show and us taking over.
I knew I wanted to be showbiz from the time I was really
like seven years old.
I wanted to broadcast.
I wanted to talk on the radio, you know.
I heard you fellas talking about how our circles
almost collided.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, I was in radio for almost four and a half months
Colorful rise CBS just didn't know what they were doing
Someone like you should have worked on the radio
They fucked you over man. Someone like you should have worked on the radio.
Yeah, you had a great idea.
A great original personality.
I want to play this for Anthony.
He's going to stake out it now.
They just wanted to shove...
You gotta be nice. The guy's in the studio.
I just said. I just said.
Great Adam.
Great personality that they just wanted to shove into that
6-10 radio guy mold.
That's not you. Well, there's the top 40 mold, you know,
which most of us, a lot of you listening grew up with,
which is that really hyper static, you know,
it's hoppin' and poppin' and with the best bed
for the boss, meet at the top of the pot.
Used to practice that on a lot of playgrounds.
Yeah, but it meant nothing.
There's no substance behind that.
And then you would practice
FM DJ. Oh, yeah, you know which was kind of like yeah, there's a brand new one from
Janice
Into you know a little bit more modern whatever um, but if you're coming with anything that's different
It's new then you fellas know better
than anybody.
Yeah, you're gonna have to find your own audience
and you're gonna have to, it's like chiseling away
at a stone from other people's mountains.
Yep, they don't wanna hear it,
and talk about giving you time to build an audience,
it doesn't exist.
Hey, where's the first ratings book?
Well, get the fuck out.
See ya later. It's not working. You can't interrupt where's the first ratings book? Well, get the fuck out. See you later.
Yes, not working.
You can't interrupt Dave's telling a great story. You can't interrupt them. Go, I got
to do, I got to do the weather.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And we have to do the traffic when he's on a roll about something.
Exactly.
Listen to Florentine. Yo, Dave's telling this amazing story, was he? Did he?
Florentine, you know, loves all the rock guys.
I know.
And they all know.
He's front of all those guys from that metal show.
The comic in him supersedes everything. So while he's
saying this, he's doing it where he's got like the Jack Nicholson Joker smile
going. So he's talking here, but out the sides of his mouth is like, it's like
I'm really lambasting this guy as I'm trying to be his friend. They were also
like pushing. Well, you got to have a traffic check, you know one that you kind of have
Larson is designs upon
You need to have a sports block
Well, it's you know, the familiar diet right the right hands, okay, you know are
So yeah, they're being very polite
To they are even though so much time has passed that it's just like whatever.
We don't need to rub it in anymore.
We got the gig.
It's all good.
If you want, while you play the other clips, there's a photo in there of both
the open and David Lee Roth together because he's dressed like a newsie.
Like he's got the one of those, those old British style caps and a,
uh, like a, a, a worn down, um, there you go.
He's got his overalls and a flatulon.
Yeah. And the other photos he's got like a ponzi jacket. It's such a weird look.
There it is. Okay. Yeah.
And he's doing different, um,
outfits for different photos with both Opie and Anthony for some reason
I think what it was is that hope usually didn't like getting photos with anybody that was in the studio
He wants to unless we have to you know, like hey, we got to put it up on the website or something
I think Dave was leaving and then hope decided last minute that he was gonna get a photo
So that's why he's got the jacket on gotcha
minute that he was gonna get a photo so that's why he's got the jacket on. Gotcha. We heard the stories after you left. Is it true you demanded palm trees?
Because that story went around the building for a while. That you had crazy
demands that you needed palm trees in the studio. Well what happened was I said
after a lifetime of danger and intrigue in a national danger. Why stop? I'm an expert now.
I heard not only palm trees, I heard you wanted sand brought in to make an entire beach.
Let's go to where the palm trees are.
We'll rent a small but palatial hotel room.
Nice!
Alright.
We'll broadcast from there.
You put the line in, we can go on the net, etc. and showing up is not the issue guys
clearly so let's why not do it from Vegas why not do it from Hawaii gee well
you'll have to get up at midnight
there's entire communities here there's entire voter blocks within the sound of our voices
and we're going midnight, isn't that a little early?
Exactly.
Yeah, those radio management, they need to be structured, everything has to be structured.
Let's go to the different places where things are going on, the boat races wherever, and
I don't even know where ever.
I'm just saying it, I know there's some somewhere.
Sure.
Point towards Florida for Christ sake, you know
Those radio managers they always want structure. Yeah, they want the personality to be there on time. Yeah timely conversation
Yeah, you know people are only in their cars for 10 to 15 minutes
so you want to make sure you hit them with the with the good stuff and
What's your yeah?
He goes a long way to say nothing.
Yeah, I've noticed that.
And Anthony and and Jim and everyone are really selling it
to like everything is interesting.
Wow.
Yeah, it's wild man.
But I'm glad that Anthony brought up the rumor about the
sand and the palm trees because that's not a rumor that
that did actually happen.
We knew we didn't get to see it.
Unfortunately, when we got there that was all cleaned up and gone
We were looking forward to them like we got to see what this place looks like all that was left with those giant
fluorescent red couches that looked like kiss lips, right?
And that's where the guests were supposed to sit on and that's what was left because they forgot to come and get them
Everything else was taken away. So
What was left because they forgot to come and get them everything else was taken away, so we forgot to
want these no
Where would I put them? Yeah, what's the next clip on here number three? I think that's just wrapping up the the whole point of him talking about them
Doing radio and us taking over
What was the first time the things were going awry like when you were there like the first time we you went like?
Oh, this might not be fun when I walked into Howard's old studio and they
said okay well this is where you're gonna be broadcasting from where do you
think and I said you gotta be kidding right aren't we gonna be like you know
on rooftops and you know ambient sounds and no no you're gonna be right here and
things were kind of downhill from there so So I started to, okay, well, let's try and create something here that's indoors.
Palm tree.
Yeah, let's bring in twin potted palms, you know, and let's drill a hole in the window.
I get some real air and sounds in here.
How did we start our encounter?
So DLR knew his radio career was going to end when he had to be in a radio studio
That was his biggest prize like wait up to do this from a radio. So I don't told me that yeah
Yeah, you're on the radio now. Do you yeah?
Do you do you see signs of that logic that applied to maybe when somebody got a podcast deal with Westwood?
Oh, right. Yes.
And they said, look, I walk around my zoom recorder.
Yeah. So this is what David Lee Roth,
I essentially wanted to do and that did, and it didn't work.
So I get not wanting to be in the studio all the time.
And then that's fine.
You should do from remote locations and other things and,
and change it up a little bit.
But for the most part,
your day-to-day should be in a set area that you're comfortable with, that you're used
to, that you have everything there.
The equipment is there, it works.
Familiar with it?
Yeah.
We'll start off with the great outdoors. Guys, it just...
You were responsible for the window?
You were responsible for the window?
Yes.
We love that window.
Yeah, that window was blocked up when Howard had his studio.
There was a rumor Howard was scared of snipers, so there was this beautiful window that he had blocked out.
And when you got there, you cut the hole back out so we can see outside.
It's just a different mindset, you know.
If we're actually writing and recording, I prefer it to be like this, but a little bit darker yeah like where we are so that you're completely focused on one thing right
follow but if I'm doing anything even remotely like your job and I've got to
stay in full diamond Dave mode that requires a sun roof.
Okay.
He's just detached from reality at all times. I guess is the reason why that didn't work out for him.
So shortly after his appearance on our show, um, we were,
if you listen to our channel on serious XM on Saturday,
we were really ahead of the curve where we had the comedians
we were friends with who were doing podcasts, we would air them on our channel. So like,
before everyone blew up, we had Kevin Smith's smodcast, we had Bill Burr, we had Robert Kelly,
we had Joe Rogan was on there for a little while. We had all these people and then Sirius saw no
value in paying
these people for any of their stuff, which now they're paying through the nose for the
good point. Yeah. But Saturdays we wanted to just rotate the lineup and stuff. So it
wasn't just best of Opie and Anthony and Ron and Fez through the weekend. So they wanted
to make a deal with David Lee Roth. And we told them that you could do your show,
you could play a couple of things,
you do whatever you want.
So I'm dealing with Dave's people
and they send me this like three and a half hour show
that is 90% music.
And it's all shit from like around the world
that nobody knows or whatever eclectic stuff he's into.
And I'm like, I can't play all of this right
it's like well one there's different licenses for a talk channel than there are for the music channels
and it's like I can't play this much music I can't do where does he come in no he's about an hour
15 an hour 15 I can't put this on here we also have commercials I gotta figure out where breaks
are going I think we aired maybe two episodes of his show and we just like this is impossible because he can't focus he can't
Get to what he wants to do
Podcasts and a couple different forms over the years and it's unlisted. Oh, yeah
It's really difficult and then we wound up having to drop it and then you feel bad cuz I'm like that's twice
He got fucked by us, but what else can you do, you know?
What are you gonna do?
You did your best.
Yeah, we did.

All right well thank you very much for giving us some more information on David
Lee Roth's short-lived radio career. Yes. Short-lived but colorful radio career. Very fun.
I was watching something last night. I thought I'd bring this to our attention.
It's often talked about that Aaron Imholt has turned into one of these
low cow beggar shows where he's just constantly like asking for money and asking for donations.
Aaron used to make fun of this guy Dark Side Phil. We've talked about Dark Side Phil on
this show, DSP, DSP gaming, and this guy is also one of these guys who's always begging
for money. He needed money for his electric bill, similar to like a Stunnering John,
but he's constantly needing money. It was funny that Aaron used to make fun of him
because I was watching this recent episode of Dark Side Phil and you'd swear it's the same person.
I mean, right down to the way they talk about it, the delivery, the presentation.
So no matter what I order from these places,
it's gonna end up being way more expensive.
On top of that, I gotta pay tax.
On top of that, I gotta pay delivery fee.
So he's looking at the new smash burger
from Jack in the Box, and he wants to have this delivered
so that he can eat this on his show
and give you his review of it.
Then on top of that, got to tip the driver.
So no exaggeration, no matter where I order from, whether it's Jack in the Box or Shake Shack, okay?
It's gonna be like a $50 order.
Now, I have a proposition for everyone.
Alright? I have a proposition for everyone. Alright? I have a proposition for everyone.
I would be willing to order from both places.
Okay?
Both.
But if I'm going to order from both places, then obviously I need your buy-in and support.
Okay.
Alright?
So, I'll make you a deal.
I will wheel and deal, alright, as they say, if we hit all the goals through tomorrow and
we also raise, over the course of the three streams an
Additional 50 bucks, so let's say today. We raise 150 on this stream. Yeah, but we raise 200 on the late stream tonight
That's an extra and then we raise 150 on tomorrow's day stream
Uh-huh as long as we raise the extra 50 bucks throughout the three streams
I will order from both and I will do a head-to-head
Jack in the box versus smash burger taste test on DSP tries it excuse me wait
totally 50 bucks and you'll eat two cheeseburgers that's amazing even does
the thing that Aaron does is like all right here's some different ways that
could work out you could give me the money I need today, but then more money tomorrow.
Roll over method.
Yeah.
Then you could give me this money now or this money.
He's outraged from ordering this.
The fees, everything is 50 bucks, but if we make $550 in three days, I'll eat two hamburgers
and tell you what I think he could just go and get them and then have it ready
for the show the next day and he wouldn't need to raise $550. But then the audience wouldn't be seeing him broadcasting though we need to see
Dark Side Phil and his hot takes on the new video games that are coming out so
obviously needs to be there in studio I also like this is also a very Aaron-esque
kind of thing give me money for this thing that's gonna benefit me but I'm
pretending it's benefiting you oh yeah wouldn't that be amazing if I got to eat two of delicious cheeseburgers like I don't care
How many cheeseburgers you get to eat asshole go fuck yourself?
Jack in the box versus Shake Shack smash burger taste test on DSP tries it
Okay, pretty good deal huh a
Double order I have never done that before in history
Oh, but I bet you rock has done that before in history
No, I go to each place individually bring it all home together
And you have the we'll call it the the fast food world tour right set up right there on your table
McDonald's fries burger from this place drink from that place. That's how you really do it see I do I was talking to a pro
Yes now
ordering from two places at once
The drop thing about this the drivers
Might actually meet outside my house and have to fight in Mortal Kombat to decide who delivers first. Yeah, think about that
That's fun. This is interesting. I might have to record that Yeah, I don't think that's how that works. They're actually rivals
We're delivering for Grubhub or uber eats. Yeah, they kind of want to get the fuck out of it
All that worried about it. So this is amazing when you when you come across guys like this because I've heard of this guy
This is the first time I'm seeing him. He looks like Dante Hicks
That he had if that's what it says he has 214,000 subscribers oh yeah he's been around forever she's Christ but why even try to program and
put on shows well but I have quality and content anymore just do this dumb shit
but Eric this is it's begging all the time and everyone who's watching him is
clowning him so it's not a good existence serious audience for this guy is the lowliest of little cows
And I just wanted to play you this clip here because this is where again
It's very much Aaron Imholte where he gets into how funny it would be if like
Someone just gave me all the money right now
Like wouldn't that be hilarious guys I think this would be amazing alright so please support the
streams today hell if someone wants to go crazy right now and be like hey Phil
here's $200 that'll cover this stream and the extra 50 right now all you have
to do is cover tonight and tomorrow oh Oh my God. Do exactly him. He's already
fantasizing about someone being really generous and doing the math for us and everything. This is what
Aaron does. It's not even like, Hey, if you somebody like, Hey, somebody donates 200 right now, we'll
just do it right now. No, it's like, no, you covered a third of what our goal is for the next three
days. And then this helps everybody else pay easier that we can get this done faster guys. I think Aaron learned from this guy, honestly.
It's the same tele marketing script. This is that shit you see on Instagram and Facebook
store and stuff where they're telling you it's like, oh, here's our pay us 50 bucks,
60 bucks. And we'll show you your tips of how to work the algorithm
for YouTube and get success by posting on TikTok
by doing our simple steps.
And we've got 50,000 subscribers within three.
You know that all that shit is a scam.
You make fun of it for so long and then you're like,
wait, maybe this is something here.
Oh, it's not doing those steps.
It's selling those steps to the next person
and making that money
So if Aaron was watching this guy for he became this guy. Yeah, it's not unlike Chad Zumach with the hype train He's like look at this asshole
And he wants people to give him money starts dancing to music and then Chad now dances to music when he wants people to give
Him money. Yeah, like you ever used to make fun of this. Oh, no. No, I'm doing it. Ironically. Are you cuz it's
for years
Well, you have to do is cover tonight and tomorrow
Then go for do it drop that drop the two hundo right now. Just got the big bomb
$200 are there other ways that we could give you money they would accomplish this goal. Let's find out or you could do
It's trying to do the math how many would that be?
I'm trying to remember how many that would be not 50
30 35 I'm trying to think how many members are subs that would be over on kick
Right
It'd be less than 50 less than 50 subs over on kick if you drop to the 50 subs on kick
I mean that would just cover. Yeah, you know what I'm saying, right?
Or or perhaps someone wants to do a giant super chat to cover it, right?
You'd be okay with that
Let's do it. Let's hit the goal of this stream
And then let's exceed it by the 50 and let's do a big double order for tomorrow
Is that like nothing more than to do an actual to business?
Head to head smash burger taste test live here on DSP tries it I would actually very much enjoy that yeah
But you know let's make it happen
Alright, let's make it happen. Right? Let's make it happen. So it'll be 40. 40 subs. If someone wants to
drop 40 subs over on kick right now. Sure. That would cover this stream. That would cover
the extra. We just need to hit the next two. Right? There you go. Yes. Big Papa Phil says
DSPs fast food war series begins. That would be cool.
All of these guys, they fan, as soon as they start talking about money, they light up and they're like,
and you could also like gift a bunch of memberships.
And if someone just wanted to like give me Venmo or PayPal or rumble rants or
they get so excited about this script.
Sir, it hasn't happened yet.
I know it is mine. It is app at but at least with this wiener
He gets around to talking about video games, right with Aaron you just get Aaron. It's too much
This guy also too. It's like he pulled from I forgot the guy's name
But aunt used to do the impression of him selling the McGuire rookie card the guy would sell baseball cards
I'm home shopping now work and stuff like that with all the different ways like you can call
I know that we got the flex play pay you got all these stuff like that. With all the different ways like you can call. I know that we got the flex play,
pay, you got all these other,
like they're telling you the different ways you can give them money.
And then watching this guy now for the first time and knowing what Aaron's been
doing, it's like when you have a favorite song and then all of a sudden you
realize, Oh shit,
they plagiarized the song and they show you clips of where they took the song
from. And you're like, Oh my God, it's not even his. Right. shit they plagiarized the song and they show you clips of where they took the song from you like oh my god
It's not even his right
He's just doing it better than the other people because he's got more attention on him
But it's not even his concept his act that that's why it's so funny to me that Aaron thinks he can clown other people
But he's just literally going we got to hit the goal today
It'll be really funny is if we had five people give us $20 that
would get us to $100 would lower our goal we'd only need 180 more after that
you're just like all these like weird equations and none of it makes sense
you're like yeah but none of this is happening so why are you doing the math on that?
Who cares? Johnny's like yeah that'd be great. If Johnny came on the show and cried every day,
I definitely donate towards the goal.
That would be amazing.
I think I would too.
All right.
I gotta, we gotta move on to another buddy of ours.
I'm the man, I'm the man.
I'm the man, I'm the man.
I'm the man, I'm the man.
Ba, ba, ba, ba, I saw this, I was going to play this on last Wednesday's show, we didn't have
time for it.
It was Misery Loves Clips put out this clip and he was actually donating to OP and trying
to get OP to talk about what his take is on
misery loves company and stuff like that. And so OP recognizes that this is going
to get clipped and OP can't control himself of course and goes right along with the program.
I hope I came across a couple videos of Ant and another guy roasting your live streams in front of a live crowd. What's that about? I have no idea. Look, you know, I, I said
it years ago, Anthony is, is pure garbage. He really is.
All right. Let me just address this. So they're talking about Dabblecontu.
Talking about you, Carl.
Yeah. So he's talking about me, Dabble double got to When we had Anthony on and we were playing some clips of Opie
Now what Opie should have said when he read that is like, oh is he goofing on me? Like whatever that's fun
Oh, he's roasting me. I whatever I roast him too. I say shit. He said shit whatever instead. Look at how worked up
He gets over this thing. He doesn't he didn't even know existed
It still doesn't know if it exists or not, correct, but is it worked up or is it?
He doesn't, he didn't even know exists and it still doesn't know if it exists or not.
Correct. But is it worked up or is it, uh, the phrase you, you coined, I think it was
performative John where John just go, he knows this ahead of time and I'm just
going to go and pretend to be outraged.
But when you watch it, you go, oh, he's, he's acting up.
He's not really,
well, you know better than I do.
Obviously you've had a personal relationship with him for a long time.
So you tell me what this is.
Yes, because, and I'll tell you why like yeah, obviously we don't get along and there's been a lot of attacking back and forth and whatnot
and then he went through a
major medical
Issue a major one. Okay, that's performative
Nobody talks like that. I
Believe it was quadruple bypass surgery. So I wished him,
I wished him well. I was like, you know, I don't, I don't really,
I don't really get along with the guy or anything, but it's,
it's just the right thing to do. It's just the right thing to do.
And it was very well received and there was a little text exchange back and
forth. And Anthony even said at the time, you know, it's, you know,
I appreciate it. And then he said, so I'm like, and it's nice that we're, you know, we're not taking shots
at each other anymore. And then I think that lasted a week or two. So as soon as he got
the stitches out, he went right back to, you know, attacking me and hating me.
It's not attacking and hating. This is the thing that I hope he has to understand. We were laughing
and joking. It's very different than attacking and hating
Yeah, and one it wasn't right as the stitches came out. It was almost a year since the heart attack when that happened
but too it's like the whole show that the concept that we had was pulling clips of
Politicians rock stars radio shows comedians, and goofing on what they did.
It was just a bunch of people sitting around
making fun of something.
You guys made fun of Scott Shannon for years,
and then he came on the show
and had a good sense of humor about it,
you're like, all right, this is cool.
Like, what can't you just have a good sense of humor about it?
It would be fine.
Instead, OPS would take everything as like hatred,
and it's bizarre.
Exaggerated. Yeah, it's bizarre. Exaggerated.
Yeah, it's bizarre that you can't just have fun with it.
Why are you just having fun with it?
When I see clips time to time, it always is curious
because he acts like he doesn't want to talk about ONA.
He acts like this is beneath him or behind him or whatever.
But then he's putting clips of it constantly up online
on his YouTube stuff.
He purposely puts those texts, uh,
the chat messages up that aren't paying for it.
It's not like the paying ones he's addressing, right?
He's scrolling through his chat room and puts them up there and addresses them
cause he knows it's content. He knows it's what people want to hear. And he,
I think he does this where he's like, Oh,
that'll get clipped and put out somewhere. So people,
they're trying to be above it and also in the mud at the same time.
Yeah. Using it to promote himself, which you should,
we all should when those things come around, of course,
but it's how you react to it.
You could be upset about it and then talk about how you feel and then handle it
in a different way.
He always acts like it's somebody standing outside of his property,
you know, holding up signs that saying you sucked in front of him. Yeah, I'm not actually fucking
with real life. It's not that personal level. It's always based on what you're putting out
there professionally, be it your stream, the radio show, any of those things. You have to take that
because that's what we do, you know know good or bad. We have to take it
We need to call Ruiz on the show
I'll never forget like we were making fun of Opie every episode of her these podcasts and car Ruiz was his main co-host at
the time and
we were making fun of Opie for talking about how great the tater tots were Jeremiah's and
Carl Ruiz like tweeted at me. It was just like, yeah, no, Opie thought they were great. Tater tots are all the same.
It's all the same shit wherever you go. And he's just like,
he was in on the joke. Like he wasn't taking it seriously. It's like, right.
Why don't we take this so fucking seriously? It's not that big a deal.
Say what you want about his time with Carl or whatever.
I got to talk to Carl shortly before he passed and stuff. He invited me down to his
restaurant and I was hanging out with him. We talked for a bit. Carl knew a lot of this stuff,
knew how a lot of this work from being a fan of ours for so many years. He took a different
approach when he was starting to do more with Opie. So some of the stuff got a bit more,
he was a bit more sensitive to because Opie was sensitive to it.
And then when he started to realize for his friend, right. Right.
And when he started to realize where to separate it, it's like, all right,
on the air, I'll do this. But in real life, it wasn't that big a deal.
Carl wasn't as bad as some of these people think that he was on the air.
I always liked Carl. Yeah. I always thought he was very good on the show.
I particularly liked it when he would push back at Opie.
Yeah, like we call my...
The Ola.
The Ola gate.
Yeah, right.
And these very, I mean, incredibly low level shows.
All these low level shows have asked me to come on
and I'm like, no, no I'm not.
So that's interesting.
So he equates. So they're talking
about WTP live at dabble con. And then he goes, Oh, it's a
low level show. It's like, well, it was a live audience, you
know, like maybe what's not that low level, whatever. And then
all of them have asked me to come on. I've never asked to
help me to come on. I do not want to have this show. So if
he's referring to me as a low level show, I am not part of
this. I promise you that I'm going to do it now.
So I don't know what that's about because you know, I thought there was some, uh, some
kind of truce, but he can't help himself.
He can't help himself in his defense.
I had pulled all the clips.
I was just like, look at this.
And it wasn't like we could spire it out of time.
Like, what are we going to say about, like, yeah, you just do it.
The show doing me a favor. I would just play it that's up
But after that rant, he's like in summation, I don't know right. I know you've already said it all and again
It's not a chat that that has to he has to address cuz they paid money, right?
Yeah, this is a freebie thing that he could have just saw that and like I don't want to talk about that and keep going
He could have just saw that and like, I don't want to talk about that and keep going. Mm-hmm.
But he's perfect to bring them up.
He's trying to knock me down every chance he gets.
So stop wondering why there's no Opie and Anthony reunion, okay?
Please.
No one's wondering that.
I don't know what that's about.
It's ridiculous.
Mystery Loves Clips.
I love this guy.
I'm not going to lie to you, dude.
I'm not in the dabble verse at all.
Is MLC one of the shows you consider low, low level?
I love you, Al.
Someone's avoiding the question.
Someone is avoiding the question.
Misery loves clips.
You're trying to get me to clip.
You're trying to get me to clip.
You're trying to get me to clip. You're trying to get me to clip. You're trying to get me to clip.
Misery loves clips is a very good YouTube channel as much as I think he's trying to
get me.
He's trying to get me here, but I'm not falling for it.
I look to say it's a fucking question.
You're not falling for it.
You're being ridiculous right now.
Of course is clippable.
Of course you're falling for it.
I'm a Brennan does a very good job Misery loves clips
But the fact is like when these when these shows like Kevin and a lot of the other ones take shots of me
It's like look
They're obviously doing better than me obviously, but you know, yeah, my shirt is doing better than you
Look at his shirt. What is going on with that collar? How does it get like that?
He won't come to me. He wakes up gets a cup of coffee and turns it on because he's unfiltered. He's not prepared
It's just whatever happens happens. Yeah, you know and and he's working with that with that
Look amazing background that he has the way he looks it looks like he's free falling
Into the ground with the hair and
everything like he's going through a wind tunnel and he's just about to hit the
highway that's below.
Could you imagine there's homeless people watching this out in the street down
there going, how did he get up there?
You know, it's like when Shaq talks about seeing the gorilla, it's like, whoa,
what the fuck?
How come you're out there?
I was feeling what?
When you get even close to the success I had
with the Opie and Anthony show,
I mean, the fact is I wasn't supposed to be on that level
for my entire life, takes a lot out of you.
So when people take shots at me and I see their numbers
and their numbers are better than what I'm doing
with my live stream.
So let's put that on the table.
I'll give you all of it,
not just the stuff that makes me look good. They're
doing better than me. But, you know, when they when they start
talking, and for real misery loves clips when they start
talking to no less than a million people a week, you know,
some say that at the height of Opie and Anthony, we were talking
to, you know, at least two million people a week at least.
But he also says that Rogan sucks. So that's not the right argument either because he talks
to way more people than Opie and Anthony did. So that's Opie's thing. He always goes to
the if you haven't accomplished as much as I have then you can't criticize me. It's like
that's not true at all. I'm sure Opie has criticized people's performances in movies, you know,
maybe a well-known actors don't always hit it out of the park.
And every role also, I mean, you see the parallels to the,
this is compare this to when, remember when Howard, um,
had that argument with Ari Shafir where he was talking about podcasting and he's
like, you didn't start off in this market and work your way up and do all these things.
You can't just go and turn it on and be successful right away. And Ari goes,
why can't you?
Yeah, no, I can't get the technology now.
We can just turn it on and do this. I don't need to go through all the bullshit.
It's sort of the same thing now. It's like, well,
you didn't do what I do to warrant being better than I am or on my level.
It's like, well, no, because nobody can do what we did anymore because it doesn't exist. There's no way for anyone to go that route and see how they do because you can't.
The road is closed. So now this is the new way of doing things. And I mean, look, say what you want about all these shows and everything.
They all think they're doing they're doing better than the other ones in this
show. But when you look at everybody's numbers, like we're nowhere near some of
the real, that one guy that was eating two fucking cheeseburgers and complaining
that he had to pay 50 bucks at 215,000 subscribers, he's kind of doing better
than all of us.
Well, kind of, I guess. All right. I want to play a little bit more of this and
hope he says some dumb shit.
Yeah.
When they get to some crazy ass level with their numbers, with their live
stream and they're making crazy, I mean, real crazy ass money and then they
want to call me a loser, then I have to accept that.
Then I have to accept that, but they're not even close to anything I ever
accomplished in my career.
And I was, I wasn't supposed to stay at that level forever. I never gave a shit about fame. If you want to know the truth
I gave us hi never gave a shit about fame
If you want to know the truth the if you want to know the truth is a tell in this sentence
He wanted to be Howard Stern so bad to the point where he pretty much lives in the same high-rise as Howard in the same
neighborhood so bad to the point where he pretty much lives in the same high rises our the same neighborhood
How it's crazy for him to say didn't give a shit about the fame So I'll be backing up a little bit. Let's see what he did give a shit about
Want to hear Eric's take on this?
Close to anything I ever accomplished in my career and I was I wasn't supposed to stay at that level forever
I never gave a shit about fame. If you want to know the truth. I gave a shit about being a content provider.
I gave a shit about turning on a mic,
spewing stuff that was bothering me.
It was very freeing.
It was very therapeutic.
But I never gave a crap about the fame part of it, ever.
I mean, the second thing he said was turning on a mic. I don't care about being famous
I care about turning a microphone on. Really? That's what you got out of bed for in the morning?
Okay weird. Ever. I think if I gave a crap about the fame part of it I would have tried to
I would have tried to you know keep a big show going even after Opie and Anthony left.
But I'm like, you know.
You did.
You did try.
You were pissing out, moved to afternoons.
And you brought in other buddies of yours to try to keep it going.
That is some cope right there.
And you know what the proof is?
I don't care about fame.
I'm not even famous anymore.
That's not, that's not how it works.
I wasn't supposed to be at that level of fame.
Yeah, that's a weird thing too to say like nobody's career
Continues to go well, I mean there's so many countless examples Rush Limbaugh was on the radio until he died
There's so many examples of guys who can be famous and continue going. We Howard's still doing it somehow
It's a weird one. Yeah, he did
Everything he's saying it look he did like turning on the mic.
All three of them loved being able to say what they want. It was very therapeutic.
They could get everything out. Um,
some cared about the fame more than others. Some liked having the fame, but that wasn't a big thing. Hope wanted to be, we all know this.
This is nothing. Nobody does. No, he wanted to be Howard.
He wanted to be this successful. He wanted to be, we all know this, this is nothing nobody does. No, he wanted to be Howard. He wanted to be this successful.
He wanted to be famous.
I've seen examples, there's examples that are public,
there are examples that aren't, but he did.
He thought he was.
And there's nothing wrong with that.
No, because you earned it at that point.
When you're in the entertainment industry,
you should want to be famous.
That's how you are successful in entertainment.
Correct.
So the fact that he comes out and he goes,
and I'll tell you the truth.
I didn't care about being famous.
Just like, Oh, don't say that.
Cause now it's just sounding ridiculous.
No one's buying it.
When you got that level of success that they have yet you want to be that famous so that
you can keep that level of success.
Keep making that money.
Keep being able to do what you do.
You want to be successful you want to be famous doing what you do because it will ensure some sort of
side of a
Longevity right this kind of career based on his rules
Is he allowed to make fun of Howard Stern because I've heard him make fun of Howard many many times
Based on his rules. It sounds like until he gets as as much money as Howard has
Right as many listeners as he's had over his years. He's not allowed to do that
I don't know not at all
so Eric you brought a couple of clips and I'll as watching blind mic this morning and
Blind mic started playing I think one of the clips that you brought because I teased it on the last episode
I went okay. I don't want to hear wide Mike's take on this
I turned it off because apparently someone asked him about me directly
Well, alright, so somebody reached out to me saying hey
With a different angle I guess with these because you have both clips, right? Yes part one and part two
Okay, that he was I was told like Oh resented doing the show during the best years of his life
Yeah, and I said what?
And I was like send me the clip clip. So they sent me these two clips
and it turns out it's about you.
It had to be, it started and it was about you
and his underlining seething that you exist
and talk about him.
Okay.
Then turned into how he resented doing the show
during the best years of his life.
So, yes, start
with the first clip. So I used to do some, uh, alternate side of street parking. Um,
not cause I was trying to save the money, although, you know, saving over $600 a month
wasn't bad to be honest with you, but I did it more for the show for the show. It was
one of my favorite things he ever did by the way, sitting in the car with a duct tape.
I mean, some great moments.
I'll give him that idea.
I'm like, you know what?
I'm going to I'm going to park my car.
I'll wait. You have to wait for the street sweeper.
And I'm like, you know what? I'll live stream.
And I enjoyed doing it.
It was fun. It was different.
I think he hated doing it.
Didn't he get real stressed out about it every time?
He was like so concerned about getting a spot back again
and he's worried about getting out of the car
at the right time.
I don't know which one he had to believe.
I think we had a clip on Ant Show where he was doing it.
And I think one of the attendants was coming around
and he had to sit in the car for like 45 minutes
because they were hovering around.
He had to wait for them to leave in order for him to go upstairs to his apartment.
So he was freezing sitting in his car because he had to sit there because the attendant
was around.
It was miserable.
Yeah.
Live streaming from my car and then you get these dummies that have never done anything
in their lives literally make it funny.
And you sit there like this guy Is live streaming from a basement?
What is that thing like I'm not on a beach I'm out of my own private beach I'll give him that but what is that last year from a basement? Why is a basement?
Something worse than a living room or a spare bedroom. I don't understand like a bay. It's a finished basement
It's a nice place to put
a studio. I just don't get that.
I think it's more the wood paneling he has a problem with.
A lot of people do.
He's never had any success and he's making fun of me because I'm live streaming in a
car. Oh well, I enjoyed it. That's all that matters.
Right. If that's all that matters, don't address it then.
Right. But also any kind of success, like Stuttering John does the same thing at
OP, it's not good if you're saying the same thing as Stuttering John. Just like, so the
only way to have success in your eyes is a radio career? This is the same thing when
OP used to talk about like, why do they teach math in school? I've never used math. Like,
yeah, most people don't go on to be radio professionals. People go into engineering
and computer science. Like there's a reason why. Like, being a professional
marketer doesn't mean you've done nothing with your life or
your literally nothing. What do you mean by that doesn't make
any sense to me. But okay, if you say so. Ready for the next
clip? Yeah.
Johnny, I don't know. I don't know who Carl I like how I don't Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, yeah, oh, he doesn't know me. Oh, no
Loser there's a lot of people calling me a loser, but he's doing his show. Do I call opi a loser?
Sure, okay
That's not the word that summarizes opi to me. Okay, by any means it's pathetic what he's doing, but maybe I don't know I
Don't think I'd come a loser only because he does have very nice homes and a very nice family
Like he's not loser in the way that we talk about Rob Saul and St. Mary John Melendez and like losers, you know It's a different level of losing. It's very different
From his basement in Rochester and you do yours for the beach and on top of Manhattan. Yeah, I don't have time for people
I was a massive success in the radio world what I was supposed to do that for the rest of my life. Oh, no
Do that again, you know the best years of my life
I wasted doing the opiate Anthony show and you might think to yourself. What are you talking about? Look what you got now?
Yeah, that's all well and good. But now I'm an old guy and I can finally enjoy my life
I couldn't enjoy my life when I when I was doing the open Anthony show. It was incredibly stressful for me
I'll talk about my experience. It was stressful for me pause
You know who can't couldn't enjoy their life people that work real jobs
Yeah, miserable jobs
But did it because they needed a livelihood or they had the family to take care of or something like that now that they're retired
They can enjoy their life. They're allowed to say that. Right. I'm now allowed to enjoy my life because I couldn't during
those years. I had, it was miserable, but he did what he had to do. This drove me fucking
nuts because I was like, we had one of the most privileged positions in the world to
do this thing. Him more so than me. I got, I was lucky enough to be a part of it. Yep.
But his name was on the door. We got to do this every day. They made tons of money. I did okay. They did tons of money.
Right.
Just to come in and goof off and be nonsensical and-
I'll take you to the next level, Erock. This guy who's talking about how that was wasted years
would humiliate you on a regular basis,
bring you into the studio, humiliate you, and you're making way less money and you're coming back
and going, oh my gosh, I appreciate all of those years. That was amazing. I have no regrets. And
Opie made all that money was never being humiliated because he shut that shit down.
Because he was deflecting. Yes. I've talked about this. A lot of the stuff that was towards me was because he couldn't take it or didn't
want to take it. So, oh, we'll just throw it to Iraq because I know you can take
it. Yeah, I can take it.
I like being here. I like this job.
I like what we're doing when we're not doing this little thing.
The rest of the show is fucking fantastic.
And maybe for doing it too long, you lose track of those things.
You start to resent the things that made you who you are, made you successful. I didn't.
I look back on it and I go, yeah, there was some, it wasn't always a hundred percent great,
but it wasn't 90% terrible either. I loved doing what we did. And now he's at a point,
at least, you know, publicly, I haven't talked to the guy in almost eight years or something,
where he's just now he resents it. This was the worst time of my life. Really?
This was the worst time of your life. That's crazy. Fuck off. You know,
it's like I tried being nice to him and I tried, I rarely ever talk about him,
but when you get shit like this and now you're saying you resent it,
fuck wasted these years. This is a waste of his time. Iraq.
It's fucking crazy.
You know, same thing you want about Anthony, but Ant had the right mindset.
He's like, sign the five year deal.
Let's take the millions of dollars and coast for another five years.
And if we do well, we'll sign another five years. And if they fire us,
guess what? They got to pay us for four more years. That's the mindset.
You should have this take every dime we can out of
this thing not let's sign one year and see what our options are. We look we were important to it
for a little while but we weren't that in demand for the entire industry for television and all
these other things. Radio liked us and that was about it so let's just take every dime that they're
willing to give us and that was a problem. That's was a problem. All the perks that we had was a problem.
All the celebrities, we got a chance to meet and talk to the problem.
That's a good point. Like I'll be talking about how it was stressful.
Opie created the stress by not signing the long-term deals by constantly having
to renegotiate the deals every year and going to management.
And he was the busy body in the office talking about all the,
oh, I don't know if this guy's working out, I don't know if that guy's working out and
he's triangulating all over the place. Like, Opie was the cause of stress. Jimmy and Anthony
just wanted to come in and laugh.
All right. Look, I'll even, I'll defend him a tiny bit on this. Look, Jim could be a problem,
Ant could be a problem, Opie can be a problem. Sam and I could be a problem. The staff could
be a problem, whatever. we all had our things.
But to the level of what those problems were,
weren't enough to say, I can't do this job anymore,
or I'm walking out of this career or any of those things.
For some reason to him, this was like,
I can't believe my life is so terrible
that I'm stuck in this situation.
I couldn't wait for Anthony to get fired
and then I could go and do my own thing.
If you were so miserable,
to the levels that he explains
that he was so miserable and tortured,
what amount of money keeps you there?
You know, it's not like I just got my first big contract,
I need to do this for my family.
You've had millions of dollars for many years at that point.
Walk away, do your own thing, do whatever.
It really is a fucking slap in the face
to us that worked with him, the audience
that put up with our shit or loved our stuff
and supported us and whatever.
It's like he's pissing on everybody
because now it's like, oh, you're making fun of me
through a super chat.
Fuck off, stop doing this then.
Go away, live your life on the beach and in Manhattan, whatever. It's like, Oh, you're making fun of me through a super chat. Fuck off. Stop doing this. Then go away.
Live your life on the beach and in Manhattan, whatever.
Stop coming back up here and say, Hey, guys, remember me?
Oh, I'm really in the mix, but I'm not in the fuck off.
Fuck every waking moment of every single day.
I was thinking about that goddamn radio show.
I was on I was on a glorious honeymoon in Turks and Caicos thinking about the radio
show. It never leaves your goddamn brain.
Pause. That's retarded too because-
You called me during my fucking honeymoon. Right?
Okay, yeah. Yeah.
My aunt's making whale noises and Jim's talking about some Jamaican immigrant that's cleaning
my room and there's ice cream balls all over. At the time, yeah, it pissed me off, right? And at the time,
I could say it's like everywhere I go, everywhere I do, the fucking radio show is following
me, right? But I look back at it now, it wasn't a great moment, but I can laugh at it a little
bit and go, yeah, all right, you know, for the show in the context, it is what it is. When the show was off air for Christmas, extended break, vacations, whatever.
I had to think about the show because technically, if something goes wrong,
I had to take care of it.
If the programming was wrong, I had to take care of it.
We all had to think about the show when we're up,
because when we'd come back from these breaks, we needed to have content.
We needed to have stories. We needed to have things to talk about.
That was part of the job. You're on your fucking honeymoon at a
resort and you go, I couldn't stop thinking about the show. Yeah, it's your fucking job.
You don't have to go that hard to the pink with it at that point.
Every successful person thinks about their job all the time. That's how you're successful
is because you do think about it. You want to be good and you want to get better. So
this is that, Oprah thinks that this is just him who's having to deal with this. No, most people do and they don't get paid millions of dollars to do it. You want to be good and you want to get better. So this is that. Oprah thinks that this is just him who's having to deal with this. No,
most people do and they don't get paid millions of dollars to do it.
How many people like you hear stories about certain celebrities, certain, um,
tech billionaires or CEOs of companies where you hear Vince McMahon,
I mean his, his shit aside, but he's like, he never took a day off.
He was always thinking about the company.
He was at almost at every live event that he could he never did any of this stuff unless it involved
That's what you do. You love what you're doing. You make it a success
It's becomes part of your life and who you are if you hated it that much
He did the wrong thing his entire life and that's his fault. Yeah, that's only your fault, right?
It's open. This is all your fault. If this is how you feel about it now
Trust me. I wasn't gonna do it for the rest of my life
Best years of my life. I spent doing that when I'd you when I'd you you were 40 now
I'm a broken mass folder and I finally get to enjoy my life
So to all these losers in their basements shut your mouth. You never came close to anything
Yeah, but I enjoy my life.
I got that going for me. Sounds like I'm more successful than you because I've been showing all of this. You'll never see me bitter on a show one day going
and that fucking I had to do W ATP every Saturday and every Wednesday. It's
like, that's great. I love it. Everybody that worked on that show that's still
doing something. Sam and me, Aunt, me, Travis,
none of us are resenting our time there.
None of us was like, yeah, it was difficult time or yeah, it was a fun time.
We're not saying like our lives are terrible because we went through that.
We all knew what it was.
We appreciate it when we have it and it got us to wherever we are now in our
lives. We all are pretty good. We're all doing pretty good.
We're all happy with our lives.
What does Opie think he was going to do? Like be in the NBA or something? What was he going
to do when he was younger?
He was going to be a model, Carl.
Right. I know. It's like, what is he regretting? I don't even understand it. Like everyone
has to fucking work a job during the prime years of their life. That's when you're most
productive. It's, I don't know what you mean. What the fuck?
Yeah.
Anything. As you call me a loser from your basement
I was talking to more people when I was doing college radio
Get to some
That's not true, I'm sorry, okay, that's the Howard tie-in
Co does not have more people listening to their radio station at any time in history
But what the fuck when I was working at that broken radio station
in upstate New York, you know, I had more people than what podcasting is doing. Yeah, right. That's
the way you had to do it back then. That's not how you have to do it now. People. That's retired.
Oppressive level and then take your dumb shots. Holy crap, I'm not taking any of it.
No, no, no, no, ask me anything.
Oh boy, I'll tell you everything.
Oh, I got stories I've never told.
They're coming, folks.
He's tilting.
What a bitter douche.
You really got to him.
He's so bitter right there, wow.
Guys, let's start complimenting him in the chats.
He needs some love. Yes, let's go in his chating him in the chats. He needs he needs some love. Yes
Let's go in his chat and put all only W's. Yes, you're killing it. Oh B and hearts heart emojis
So sorry for what you went through signed a Iraqi veteran
So sorry life was hard for you
Fucking douchebag while looking through the David Lee Roth stuff,
going through hard drives of things that we had from,
you know, at work, and I see these clips
and I don't recognize them.
I go, what the hell is this?
So I'm looking through and I guess we had audio
of this show, there's a trucking channel on SiriusXM.
I'm not sure if it's still there,
but it was called Road Dog.
And it was just programming.
That was for truckers.
It was slower paced talk shows that allowed truckers to call in from the
road. So they had somebody to talk to and you know, that lifestyle and what have
you. So there was a show on there and they have a girl that worked on the,
or lady woman that worked on the show and apparently had walked down the hallway
while Ope was filming a video and Ope turned and kind of like zoomed in on her butt. Okay.
And then panned back to the comic he was talking to and the comic was staring at her thinking she
looked pretty good and Ope made some disparaging comments about the lady and she found he I
guess he posted the video and everybody went and found this girl and told her what Ope
did.
Okay.
So that's where the audio starts.
All right, cool.
Donation with my butt.
Yeah, what was that Ope and Anthony or Ope video I saw?
Should I not even should I have not mentioned it?
Oh no, it's fine.
It's totally fine.
It is out there. You can talk about it. He kind of dissed me in a video. Should I not even should I know it's fine?
He kind of dissed me in a video, you know is basically called
Opie from Opie and Anthony that guy yes Yeah, that redheaded howdy-doodie-looking mofo that guy and he I didn't know he videotaped me so a friend here
Tagged me in it, and I watched it and I tweeted him, you know
I basically was like go eff yourself and then he apologized to me on the air
That's right. Yeah. Wow. So I didn't even hear what he said
You want to repeat it or is it not worth repeating?
I walked by he was filming something in the hallway
He was doing a little interview with some comedian and then I saw the camera shift
I wasn't listening to the audio he turned well because the comedian watched me walk away, right?
So Opie turned the camera on me and he said really that's what you like and then he turned it on a skinnier
Much skinnier woman and he said that's more like it. Oh my god
He said I wasn't making fun of the way you looked which Opie was finally funny and
God he said I wasn't making fun of the way you looked which open was finally funny and
Backfiring I'm like I'm like I'm not with this so far never funny
That's what I learned stop being funny looked which which of course he was but I think he was afraid I was gonna go to HR. I'm not gonna go to HR
I'm gonna walk right in your studio and make you look like a fool in front of your entire lame audience. There you go
With the pain that guy looking like him has nerves saying anything about anyone
You know what he's the funniest person on that show if it wasn't for Anthony and Jim
Show
Here is bridges burning.
Wow, that's so rude.
Yeah.
I don't wanna give him the satisfaction
even though I am right now, but he's, you know, whatever.
Loser.
All right, let's get around the show.
Is she gonna be on WTP coming up anytime soon?
So I see this clip and it's dated, right?
So I go, well, if he apologized, so I go well if he apologized let me go
back into the archive see if I can find him talking about this so I have the
date of when this clip was and I go back and I search all around and there's no
apology on the air so maybe he told her he apologized on the air or somebody
told her that he apologized on there there there's no apology on the air. What there is, is he posted a tweet. I think you have that there, right?
Here it is.
From 2011.
Yep.
So he was talking with Joe DeRosa in there and at the end it's like note to,
and he tags this woman, wasn't making fun of your ass. That's all he did, right? Now,
wasn't making fun of your ass. That's all he did. Right. Now,
I guess he doesn't understand that tiny URLs, I guess, are forever because it,
all it is is a redirection to wherever this video is.
He took the video down. Oh, but it's still there. You can't find the video,
but if you go, if you cut and paste this URL there for this tiny URL,
the video exists. No shit.
So I pulled the video so you can see the actual incident that as it was happening.
Okay.
So his response is that I didn't make fun of you.
I don't even know what you're talking about.
He took the video down.
Let's see what it is.
We got the very funny Joe DeRosa today.
And Joe was at the taping of the Donald Trump roast.
That's going to be on Comedy Central very soon. Yes.
And there's a lot of rumors, it's not even a rumor anymore, because it made the paper, that...
...seriously?
What did I do?!
Sorry.
Holy shit, man, he's fucking clocking.
Is that the scariest thing you could say right there what just happened
I will not get into that type of commentary my friend. Okay
That was the video that was the video that was the video that was that yeah
He looked at this at this lady's ass and he's like really that's what you like
Yeah
And then got fake scared that that that was Stanley T
By the way from the morning mashup running down the hallway because I guess he was late that some black guy was yelling
Running at opi and opi got scared. Yeah, so that was the whole video there
I
Forgot all about this. I didn't I didn't
Think it was a thing but I'm looking through it
I'm guessing it was because I guess he got talked to
for something like that.
Nothing was on the air on our end.
I looked, I went even through the next week to say,
like maybe it was delayed something, nothing.
So he's had a history of doing these videos
and pissing everybody off.
I thought she was gonna be fatter, to be honest with you.
I thought so too.
Yeah, she was okay.
I thought she was gonna have a larger...
She was funny. I'm into that too. Yeah. So, all right, I thought so too. Yeah, she was okay. I thought she was going to have a large ass. She was fine with it too.
Yeah.
So, all right, well that's fun.
Oh, anything else on Opie before we move on?
Opie knows his numbers are bullshit.
It's a clip you have out here.
Yeah, there's people who, you know, thank you,
but there are people that send me stuff
still thinking that I'll pass along to Anthony,
even though I'm not working there anymore.
Pass along to me.
Yeah, that's what I did. So they gotta go somewhere.
So this was, uh,
this was just something that he says he knows his numbers aren't that good.
You are getting close to 150,000 subscribers. Is that good?
I want my YouTube channel. Yeah. I would like to get to 150,000 subscribers.
My God, that would mean that I would get more than 200 views per video, right?
Believer I
Mean Opie. Here's the good news. You're reaching more people now than you were when you were at Jetta CEO
Your college radio stage, I know you think that was impressive, but it
might be a future for you. Yes. Very good. Yeah. 150,000 subscribers and 200 something
views or interviews and not a good ratio. Yeah. It's just not the things change. Things
I know change. We're not what we used to be anymore. And life goes on. There's one thing
that does not change.
Here's some, uh, breaking news.
People probably seen this.
It happened last night.
Lenny Dykstra has entered into the devil first.
Here is a tweet from Lenny Dykstra last night.
He says, my hardcore liberal friend stuttering John offered me $250 to come on his podcast.
Nails Nation, I need your help here.
I'm a little slow since the stroke, but I'm praying one of you can help teach me
how to say fuck you in stutter in Nails Out.
Wow, it's awesome.
John was teasing, I didn't play the clips,
but I was watching his show, he's teasing,
we're gonna have a baseball legend on the show coming up.
And I think it was with Clay and Clay's like,
oh, you're gonna have the legend?
I was like, no, no, no, different guy.
So apparently the legend was reaching out to Lenny Dykstra to get him to do John
show. They offered him 250 bucks, I guess, because here's another tweet where you're
at stu stu stuttering John's chief negotiator who decided to block me after the client $250
disrespectful offer. My man used a Google app number which caused a five million hour delay in communication nails nations
Go get them. So this is the legend right here
and
Uh, let me thanks for telling everyone to go after him
For what he calls an insulting offer of 250 dollars to do the show
See, that's disappointing because that first tweet is a bit misleading. It sounds like he has a problem with john
because that first tweet is a bit misleading. It sounds like he has a problem with John.
So I wanted to see what the story was
from something in the past.
Maybe John interviewed him on a press line
or something like that.
And it just turns out by the second one,
oh, $250 was low balling him.
And he felt that was an insult.
That's all it was.
That's all it was.
But now that he posted that,
everyone from the devil versus going,
yeah, let he also do this, he also did that.
They're posting all these videos and shit like that
So it won't be too long until while he's doing a show about
Stuttering John even fireman John, but you think that's bad this filthy fuckstick admitted this on the show says
He doesn't tell women he sleeps with and that he has HPV went away
The good news is he couldn't get laid in a whorehouse with a fistful hundred dollar bills
Went away the good news is he couldn't get laid in a whorehouse with a fistful hundred dollar bills
So this is warning women of Florida. This man is a self-admitted HPV super spreader and
Letty quote retweeted that with some laughing emojis
So welcome to the the devil verse nails
Also a creep off Hall of Famer wedding Dykstra. So he's got that is true. So he's got that going for him too. For some reason I don't think this is the first time
Lenny has turned down his show though.
Yeah, I feel like there has been Lenny Dykstra
stuttering John Overlap in the past.
Yeah, I feel like someone's posted the tweets before.
Interesting.
I'm sorry, Eric.
If you can grab it, it should still be up there,
but if you can grab it before they take it down or whatever,
the Lenny Dykstra test episode
He did for compound. Oh might be a good breakdown for you for one of your bonus episodes. No shit. I didn't know that happened
Yeah, so he
Keith made this deal with Lenny Dykstra to have him come in and do a test show
we wanted to see if we'd have them do a weekly thing and
Keith said
He wanted a certain amount of money to come do the test show was only like a couple hundred bucks have them do a weekly thing. And Keith said, uh,
he wanted a certain amount of money to come do the test show.
It was only like a couple hundred bucks. So he, which is apparently was okay then,
but it's insulting that John's asking, you know, two 50 to come on the show. Uh,
so he comes on, does the thing. And then as he's leaving,
he turns around to Keith with his handout, like you owe me more money.
And he's like, what are you doing? No, no, you, you said there was going to be more money.
And he goes, no, there's a potentially more money if we sign a deal for you to
do the show. That's not what you said. No, that's exactly what,
so that was going back and forth.
Lenny leaves in a huff and then throughout the day is constantly sending shit
posts and stuff to Keith and texts and just saying, fuck you.
And then posting online that we didn't pay him. We owe him all this money.
It's like, that's not what happened.
And it kept snowballing as the day went on and he had a spiral for about a week
and then never talked about it again, but you can watch his show that was on compound
media. That might be a good break.
I'd love to see it.
He is not a stable guy and he does need money.
He has lost it all.
So yeah, it was called nails on the rail.
Okay.
So yeah, somebody posted it in our discord. Beautiful. Thank you.
Oh, okay. There you go. Look at that. Yeah. Thank you. I'll definitely.
Yes. There it is. JT posting that in our discord. Thank you, JT. He's on top of this shit. Gotta love this guy. All right.
So John said one of the funniest things I've heard him say in a very long time on his show,
just yesterday. Talk about the reason why everybody watching me I understand that.
They watched me because I'm the most Howard Stern watches me.
You serious?
So Chad is claiming that he has a guy inside the Stern show, you know, he's got his mole
and his moles like, just so you know, Howard can't get enough of the Sutterie John podcast.
He's watching it mole and his moles like just so you know Howard can't get enough of the celery John podcast He's watching it all the time and so
John has decided that this is in him and Howard are gonna be buddies again Howard. How are you Beth?
How are you?
First off if Howard's watching your show Beth's nowhere to be found. She's playing with kittens. There's no fucking way
She's like, oh is John on his job. That's running into a different wing. She's a different wing of the facility coming
to New York. So hopefully we can bury the hatchet. I'll drive out to the South Hampton
to see you. Oh, well, yeah. Howard, if you're watching today to the South Hampton, we make
amends. Go back to the old days. Have few left. How delusional. I mean, I'm saying this too much. I use the word delusional too much now.
But is that crazy? Just like, all right, I'll tell you what. I will actually drive to your house.
I know you don't like leaving the house. So don't worry. Yeah, I'll come over to your place.
I'm surprised Howard didn't get an invite to the Belmont.
I know.
Oh, it'll be me and Dirty Deeds and Vince the Lawyer.
You know, absolutely he would hop in the car if Howard said, come on up,
he would drive the ridiculous and it would be even funnier.
Cause if that was the case, Howard has a house in West Palm beach,
which is maybe two and a half to three hours from where, where John is.
And he says, no,
you come to the Hampton house and makes him drive two and a half days to get
all the way out there and then doesn't let them in. Well, John is actually in New York right now. He says, no, you come to the Hampton house and makes him drive two and a half days to get all the way out there and then doesn't let him in.
Well, John is actually in New York right now.
He just so he did this podcast yesterday and then he flew to New York and now he's at his mom's house.
So that's why he's saying like, I'm in Long Island.
I can come visit you.
And it gets even funnier than that.
Like he's already fantasizing about how him and how we're going to now team up to get there.
He's dictating terms.
Yes. No, this is hilarious. He's dictating terms. Yes.
No, this is hilarious.
I mean, that's just me.
I think at this point you could understand all the things that I did where I had to do.
I had to do.
All the things that I did, I had to do.
He's talking to Howard right now.
You mean like when you went on Adam Carollo's show and bitched how much money they paid
you or when you wrote in your book about what a piece of shit Howard was to you and how they treated you poorly
Because that's the stuff that hot that's why Howard doesn't talk to you anymore. Yeah, there was no guarantee that I was gonna make
You know the kind of money
That I made on the Tonight Show open in John's mind. He's revised history here He was the reason why Howard's mad at me is that I left and went on the Tonight Show. Oh, but in John's mind, he's revised history here.
He goes, the reason why Howard's mad at me
is because I left and went to the Tonight Show.
No, Howard still talked to you after that.
You guys got dinner together after that.
That's not what he's mad about.
He was fine with you leaving the Howard Stern Show.
And by the way, the show got better.
Richard and Sal came on board and the show got better.
Ask any Howard Stern fan, they'll all tell you that.
And I mean, Howie, I mean, you know,
I went to NYU for film and television and yes, I graduated.
And that was my passion was to succeed
in the highest regard.
I was a big part of the Howard Stern show. And then I became a big part of the howard stern show
and then I became a big part of the tonight show with jay Leno that's
really unheard of for
A stuttering ocd written
Puerto Rican Why does he think smelling feet from massapicua? I mean, that's just he says porto rican like it's a bad thing
I'm ocd written. I'm smelly feet. I'm porto rican like whoa
What the fuck?
That's his other, I think it's you that coined that phrase.
Is it his telemarketing script or was that Shuli?
Yeah, Shuli talks about that.
That's his personal telemarketing script.
That whole line, it always ends with the smelly feet thing.
That's his slug line.
Yes.
That's the caption under his headline for all of that shit. And the way he tries to spin terminology as he talks,
it's like it's when a dumb guy is heard a word and he's trying to remember how to
use it so he can sound smart and you could see the struggle in both how we
saying it and in his eyes, but as he's trying to put it out there and you go,
stop trying to be what you're not. Stop trying to use words you can't spell
and come off as being intelligent.
Also, if he's gonna talk about what a success story he has
and how everything was up against him
and he still was on Howard and TV,
you're talking about his low IQ.
Because that's really the most impressive thing of all.
Not the smelly feet so much, you can put socks and shoes on the fact that you're so low IQ
and you had a career in show business is very impressive. That would be the bigger success
story. That's crazy. Unheard of. So I overcame all odds to parlay into so many things. And then you
get fucking Lady K some idiot in a panel basement
in Rochester.
I am living rent free.
He's talking to Howard Stern right now.
He's literally having a conversation with Howard about like, you can't blame me.
I had to go to tonight's show.
It's what I wanted to do for a living.
And then fucking Lady K is in a basement.
Like, he's slipping.
I can guarantee Howard doesn't know who you are.
For sure. He does not. Howard doesn't know who you are. For sure he does not.
Howard doesn't know who you are.
That's exactly.
He's addressing Howard by mentioning shit that Howard
wasn't even asking or even curious about.
He can't stop himself because that's how he thinks.
He's just like, as soon as he goes to that telemarketing
speech about how successful he was and how amazing it is,
he immediately thinks like, and there's this guy, Carl,
who no one knows who's clowning me.
And how does he have the right to do such a thing giving you advice Howie giving me advice you and I
oh yeah we backed out a little bit cuz I kind of the Polly Walnuts thing going
there with this hair look at him you're right he's not aging gracefully but but
how many times has John talked about how Howard Stern show sucks now?
Right don't remember when they got rid of the news. He's like, oh how it's not doing the news segment anymore We do the news on this show and now he's saying that i'm the one who's telling howard
That he's doing his show wrong. Like you said, it's in his fucking book. Yeah, right. Yeah
We're all but he's doing he backtracked a lot last year with any kind of comments
Regarding howard because howard was getting a lot of shit for any kind of comments regarding Howard because Howard was
getting a lot of shit for being super liberal and having Kamala and all that. So then he never said
a bad word about Howard at all because it fits the agenda that he's trying to be a part of.
Right. To parlay into so many things and then you get fucking Lady K, some idiot in a panel
basement in Rochester giving you advice, we given me advice you and I
have done way more you know than any of these fucking losers can you imagine the audacity
of lady k to spell it and honique and alex stein who all all he's ever done is copy me
now I'm excited another one of these guys
just copy John for his career. I'm excited there's a lot of things that
John can't do any of them so I love that
all of a sudden now him and Howard are teaming up. I went from I heard that Howard
watches me to I'll come visit you guys and by the way we should probably team up
and go after Lady K and Monique from Radio Gug. You ready? Let's do that. You know, he's got that in his head. I'll go into Manhattan. I'm going to sit there
in the, in the room. We're going to pontificate about everything. We're going to go out. We're
going to, you know, JD will bring in clips of Carl's show. We'll sit there and this will
fill at least an hour on Howard show.
This is the thing that John does because of his narcissism, because he's a child, because
he's six years old still he
Fantasizes about things and he does it out loud
He has these wild fantasies that he can't wait to tell you about and I don't think any of these things are gonna happen
school
So after he's talking to Howard look at he's drooling out himself
But looking he's drooling at himself. I mean hell. He's drooling all over himself. But anyway, so Howie, I'm coming out.
Hopefully we can hook up and I'm glad you enjoy this show.
Could you imagine if he shows up in front of Howard's house like he did for Melton's
house?
Right.
He's just showing up this big gated mansion in the Hamptons.
He's got the fucking iPod deck above his head screaming.
I think a neighbor will probably alert authorities where Howard lives. I don't think it'll go down
the same way it did in Vegas. Howard invites George Clooney and John Bon Jovi over to his house.
John just drooled on himself. So what am I coming home for? I must have missed the invite.
It's fucking crazy. He lives in a whole different world than the rest of us. It's fun
So now John is obviously very upset with Chad Zumach. Yeah, and
He's got a rumor. He's got the rumor mill going about Chad
At least take an oz and pick Chadleys take an ozempic.
Chad Lee's taking an ozempic.
What a pussy boy.
Zoom mark, oh, zoom mark.
Chad's on a zoom mark.
Chad is taking a zoom mark.
Wow, go figure.
You just gave Chad a t-shirt.
Go figure, Chadly.
Wow.
Let's see.
Let's see, Chadly.
Make sure I got everything out of there.
What does that say, Chadley?
What does that say?
What does that say, Chadley?
Don't get my info out, but Chad is taking Ozempic.
Chadley's taking Ozempic.
This is right after John said he's the best broadcaster of the devil verse I want to point
out.
He's like I'm the best at this.
Everyone knows that.
And then he's looking at his phone and he's singing songs.
He comes up with Ozumak because I guess the Z. I don't know.
It's as damning as Chad Lee
it's not that clever at all but what we just saw was if you're listening to the
show John got a $2 Venmo and it says in the note Chad is taking Ozempic and so
if the guy who gave him two bucks said it it must be true obviously John will
run with anything you could tell
This whole time I'm thinking like alright did Chad say he is taking it on his show like did he post it somewhere?
I'm like, alright Chad must have a reason if he's taking it fucking
Gospel these people all do this shit too. It's so
Annoying like why are we just like pretending that people make shit up and it has to be true
Even if Chad was like we don't know but even if he was
Look at the amount of probably like heart pills that John's taking every stream that he does right point
You're just shoving pills in his mouth. Those pills was huge like a dewormer
does right? Good point. You're just shoving pills in his mouth. One of those pills was huge like a dewormer or something.
And he's taking them on a daily basis and you're gonna shit on somebody who has to take that for
I think it's a diabetic medicine or something. I think Eric's taking ozepic. No. He's taking what do you work for? He's taking chad's side. Eric should be taking ozepic. I mean the Eric
take is like what's so bad about ozepic? I think it's great. You know people lose weight, they look better.
be taking everything. It's like what's so bad about a Zephyc? I think it's great. You know, people lose weight. They look better. No, I mean, I look, I know it's, I think it's
a diabetic medicine that I know people use for weight loss and stuff like that. But no
matter what it is, the point was he's taking in a massive amount of pills every day. He
has no right to criticize anyone else's medical stuff. So I recently on WTP, we talked about
John doxing everyone and he's out there, he's trying to dox OJ,
and he's trying to dox Leo Gunn,
he's doxing Kevin Brennan.
And when he's not doxing people,
he's talking about doxing people and threatening it.
All right, I see that fucking lunatics fucking back at it.
Dude, do you want me to release all the fucking shit on you? Seriously. Do
I'm going to release the state of New Jersey versus I don't think you want that. You got
a hell of a fucking track history, bro.
A track history?
You got a hell of it.
You got a hell of it? You got a hell of a track history a hell of it This these thrust that he does he does them all the time and no one ever cares
But he keeps trying. All right, so he's got some messages for clay dabbler and
You know, I've been complimenting clay dabbler lately. It probably doesn't do real well for their relationship
Where that happens?
And can I say something to clay dabble? I I love you, brother. I do. I know you're going to
get your fucking panties all in a bunch and I don't give a shit. I don't give a shit. But Clay,
I get that you gotta, and I don't mind arguing. I love arguing. I love arguing because I love winning.
But the one thing I don't appreciate is don't start defending Leo Gunn.
Don't start defending Paolo Carnavali when these guys have done nothing but fuck with
my life.
So don't be fucking telling me what I should be doing and what I do wrong.
Why don't you tell them?
And why are you always friends with penis wrinkle and vagina wrinkle on Twitter? He goes, don't tell me what to do.
And also I'm gonna tell you what to do. Why are you always friends with penis
wrinkle on Twitter? Does John hear himself? He sounds like a child. He doesn't even
look at himself. The way he purposely has the low res for his camera and the poor poor lighting for his green screen the way his jowls come out make it looks like he has mutton chops
Oh, I think he I think he missed shaving. No, I think there really is a lot of hair
He's really bad at shaving. Oh, okay. I wish he had the the 1080
Like he did for that split second when he got the new computer. We're like, whoa, look at this fucking monster
Andy called it all those years ago
John is so hurt about clay dabler
What happens now you got lady k and she went oh we like this clay
He's fighting with john. That's is that why?
Are you like vince? Do you want the love from lady K and the shit
where? Tell me, tell me. I don't give a fuck.
Obviously. So in John's mind, everything that clay is doing is to get into people's good
graces rather than just like clay calling it like he sees it. Everything that clay says
to John is calling it like he sees it. He that Clay says to John is calling it like he sees it.
He calls John out for falling for shit
that he keeps falling for over and over again.
And in John's mind, he's like,
oh, you're just doing this in the shit way I like you.
No, not at all.
He doesn't care about Julie at all.
Clay seemed to have some sort of morals
and said, don't dox everyone.
And John said, fuck you.
Right, not everything is like trying to be a part of a faction
Right not everyone thinks that way like John does Chad does like there's certain people Kevin Brennan obviously
But clay dab was just like no no I'm just telling you that you're being ridiculous. You should stop and
John's like I don't mind arguing cuz I like winning. It's like you're not understanding what conversations are
And he's not winning either. No, obviously not.
He
he's been going through this thing where he watches some kind
of mafia movies and then he starts acting like it, right? He
starts talking his speech, he gets this kind of machismo thing
going. But that whole thing there, it's like you're talking
to this guy, he wants yes men. But that whole thing there, it's like you're talking to this guy,
he wants yes men around him to tell him,
yes, everything's great.
He's acting like he's some sort of like mafia don,
and everyone has got to kiss the ring,
and everyone's got to just tell him
what he thinks is right,
and everything he's saying and doing is correct.
Because he can't handle whenever that clay guy is on.
Because when that guy starts saying things that we all know are actually true
He starts getting met shut up. I'm trying to make a point, you know
You can't one of the funniest things he said on the show
We did yesterday where he goes I want your honest opinion. It's like no. No, you do not
You want them to just not along but I get you're right John and they're all wrong
Nailed it. So he goes through a long list of guys who he says,
I never tell them to super chat me.
And he goes through dirty deeds and the legend,
and he goes, I don't know why people are saying
I tell them to super chat me, I don't.
Now, Leo Gunn, oh, he starts this bullshit fucking rumor
that I'm asking for super chats
well guess what Leo I haven't and if I did I was obviously joking we've watched
John do this many times just like where's dirty deeds been was the legend
bad we're not gonna any super chats and he's just like I never asked for super
chats you do it on your show Joe we all see it well if I did immediately goes
I've never done that if I did he got, I've never done that. And if I
did, he got himself a guy who knows he's not it. I heard him
saying there was there's a guy named broccoli something, right?
Or broccoli. I heard a clip of him saying he's like, where are
these people been? Where's broccoli? You know, they just
disappear. It's not like he's wondering where they were. We
haven't heard from them in a while because he finishes it up
with it's like they haven't given me money in forever. It's
like, oh my God, that's the only reason you know their names is because he finishes it up with it's like they haven't given me money in forever It's like oh my god
That's the only reason you know their names is because they were giving you money
Not that they were contributing to your show and giving you some content to go along
He's not concerned where these people are. It's like you haven't paid me in forever. Well fuck off. I'm an asshole
That's right. That's correct
All right, big news big big, big news for everyone in the
Dabbleverse. I have a big announcement. Stuttering John is returning to stand up.
I'm going back to my roots. I'm going to writing. Okay. So first off those aren't his roots. No, he became a stand-up
Long after he started doing a stand-up tour. He decided like actually write an act after that
Me of like oh, I can't do this anymore. I can do stand-up right I could do a podcast
He's that guy that we all hate. He is that guy. How's he gonna have time with his new job?
Also, he goes I'm going back to stand up like oh oh you got some dates? He's like, I'm gonna
start writing. Jesus. But you've got that big Super Bowl ad. Start writing. That's what I used to do
with my boat in Bayville. Go by Sand City, sit there and write jokes. And so I
slowly developed my act. I'd write them at home and I developed a great act.
And now I have an hour and a half of material.
Do you?
And all you guys get these guys and tweet me,
ah that fucking squeegee bit sucks.
Oh yeah? Wait till you see me do it live.
You'll laugh so hard your girlfriend will be in tears.
I can't believe he's defending the squeegee bit.
I never thought I'd see the day
So much wait till I do it for you wait do you see me do it live like
You know the element of surprise is lost I don't think we're gonna think it's that funny right you could bring an actual squeegee and it wouldn't be great
Missy B took a photo from doing the squeegee
They were appalled at how bad that was they saw it live
So he thinks that's like doing his big hit
You know where at a certain point in a band's career
They don't sing the song they started off and then just put the mic to the audience because the whole audience is singing the entire
Song yeah, he thinks that I'll just lift my shirt up and everyone is going to recite the bit as he does
the bit as he does it. Yeah, let's go. The other thing that John does, and again, he's a six year old child here. Everything that he does is what a six year old does. He declares
things rather than does things. Guys, I'm back in stand up. You are? No, but I might.
Why even declare that? Just do it. Just I said the line part. Why? Why even declare that just do it just
Said the line part
Why why even say I'm gonna go back into stand-up? Why not write a bunch of jokes put together an act and then surprise us with a gig that you have or something
So stupid you see those I mean
With all the streaming services
They love a sort of a comeback special when a comic
who's not been doing it for a long time all of a sudden has a new special, they're willing
to do it.
They all have the same story.
It's like, yeah, I haven't done standup in so many years, but I never stopped writing.
You know, I've had years of material I would sit there and write and I finally like, you
know what, I think I want to give it a go and go back at again.
They have that story of they never stopped the writing process. They had their notes, they had their jokes, whatever.
They just weren't going out and doing it on stage or touring anymore. And now they're coming back.
And that's when you get those success stories. I saw Paul Rodriguez not that long ago, a few years
back. And he was a huge comic in the 80s and early 90s and He's got I mean he's been writing. He's got all new original jokes and shit like that. It's like yeah
It's like that's what these people do. Yeah, you know, it's like I'm coming back to comedy. Oh, really? Yeah, I'm gonna start writing again
No, that's not how it works
You should have been writing the last ten years and now like hey
I'm gonna go do small clubs and write out and see if I have what it takes
To move on to the next thing not that I'm going to go do small clubs and try it out and see if I have what it takes to move on to the next thing. Not
that I'm going to start the process. You know what I'm
going to do? I'm going to get a Spotify deal for $100 million.
All right, John's got a new scheme. He's got a new scheme.
And he's got a brilliant idea here. This is going to be mine
now. For the stuttering John show to see what it's going to
be.
This copyrighted telecast is presented by the authority of the office of the commissioner
of baseball may not be reproduced or retransmitted in any form and the accounts and descriptions
of this game may not be disseminated without express written consent.
Well guess what, shitware? That's what I'm gonna be doing. I'm getting the copyright
attorney to make sure that my show cannot be rebroadcast and disseminated without the
written consent of the Stuttering John podcast. Do you realize that's gonna end you?
Now, how do I know that that's never going to happen?
I'll pay the money to do it.
Two things. Please. One, he already tried doing this.
Remember, he used to do it live like a live read at the beginning of his show and it did matter. Yeah, dumb, dumb here doesn't
know by playing the MLB copyright is still against the
copyright that they still can flag your channel and your video for being against the copyright
That's hilarious. I was using that as an example. I was looking up to you guys. Come on
This is hilarious. This is how dumb John is right here. I finally figured it out
Fair use is one thing but not if it's a copyrighted show
And I'll pay the money. I don't care. That's literally what fair use one thing, but not if it's a copyrighted show.
And I'll pay the money, I don't care. That's literally what fair use,
it's part of the copyright act.
It's a clause in there, he goes,
yeah, you can say fair use all you want,
but what if it's copyrighted?
No, that's literally why we talk about fair use,
it gets around the copyright.
But Carl, he said he figured it out.
He's gonna talk to an attorney and give him money. I'm sure you will. Yeah, you don't go and play a full episode of a late night talk show, but they
will clip parts of it to play on the morning shows. Yes. Because it's fair use, it's entertainment,
maybe it's newsworthy or something. They can get around that by saying, here's a clip of John Stewart
on The Daily Show. Here's Seth Meyers' headlines for something. Yeah. That's how you do it.
They're not playing each episode every day where the copyright gets enforced.
It's crazy to me that Jon goes,
I figured out how to get around this fair use thing.
I'll have my show copyrighted.
Again.
Okay.
So he's so stupid and now he starts fantasizing about what's going to happen
when he gets his show copyrighted.
You'll be paying a piper if you wanna use clips of my show.
I'm gonna, you're gonna have to call me and ask me.
Hey, can we use this clip from your show?
Fuck you, pay me.
Hey, can we use that clip of you drooling?
Fuck you, pay me.
He just wanted you to do that thing of you singing
fuck you, pay me.
Eric's right, he just saw Goodfellas. Of course.
He keeps doing this.
So this is now John's fantasy, is that Julie's gonna be calling him like, John, listen,
I'm gonna give you some time stands, you can just give us approval on these, this is what
Frog wants to play on the show today.
John's like, all right, well the drooling one's
gonna cost you 250.
Ah, the snot in my nose, that's at least a grand.
See, John's not entirely wrong though,
when he said you're gonna be calling me about my clips
from my show.
Yeah, they're calling to tell you that,
hey, we played this one again today,
or we played this one tomorrow,
and there's nothing you can do about it.
Right.
So John owes Vince money, as we all know, because there was a $12.5 million lawsuit,
they settled out of court, and now John has to pay Vince in installments over six months.
John has not paid anything yet. And he really, really wants to get out of paying. What I
like about this clip is that John's trying to multitask John
can't even task no I think I think I heard Julie say John's biggest enemy is
multitasking this is crazy can't do one thing at the same time you know it does
suck it does suck that you fucking you know are gonna hold me to this fucking money.
It does suck. I mean- Was he looking at his wallet?
That's what I thought.
He's like, he's looking down.
It's kind of lame.
If you're my friend and you're gonna start charging me, really?
I mean, I don't know.
That seems like dirty.
You're supposed to be my friend and then you're going to charge me.
I hope you reconsider this.
Because if so, you know.
So now he's reading something.
I mean, you know, maybe.
Maybe we can work things out something that's bothering him. I mean, I think it's lame that you charge me
Now he's gonna respond. I was typing. I mean you don't need the money. You just spent
$5,000. Mm-hmm
Yeah
Mm-hmm
Yeah
5,000 you charge me what 5,000 I mean, nah, sorry
You charge me five G's now, I'm sorry what the fuck am I doing? What are you doing? I hope how it's still watching For you see tickets and you're gonna take my money
so what he was trying to say when he's so distracted by everything else going on around him is that Casey and
Vince went to the UFC match at Madison Square Garden last weekend and
Apparently that cost five thousand not all that's true or not
But who knows it's a John's all upset that a Vince has another buddy from the Howard Stern show
Doesn't like that and be that Vince can afford these things and still wants the couple thousand dollars from John the John cannot afford
Clearly obviously so John's going on and on and this is John being a manipulative asshole right here
And you're gonna take money from me
on Christmas and West.
Everybody, I want everyone to know,
the Vince that stole Christmas wants me to pay him
on December 26th.
Right around the time I'm getting all my kids
Christmas presents.
He's a millionaire.
Bad liar.
We saw this coming.
Well, Vince isn't the one who wanted John to pay him on December 26
No, it's what John to pay him in October. Yeah and November and December
And then said and then I'm gonna hear about this
Yes
Cuz John goes let's make it the 26 so that I can get through Christmas and now John's pretending that Vince is the one who?
Set that day when it's just not true and this is the way John thinks this is why John said the 26
Because that's a problem for future John and I don't know that guy
Just never think it's just like as long as I could just make it a thing. This is gonna happen in the future
I don't have to worry about it. But remember he flexes that money's no concern. He's a millionaire
He doesn't have to worry about these things. We think he can't afford a boat
We think he can't pay his taxes or his electric bill and all these other things here. So why is this an issue? Oh it's the biggest issue right
now. He talks about it all the time. It's weighing on him. He's just like why can't
you just not take the money that I owe you? I don't understand. What's the
problem here? Now if it were the other way around, it'd be very different. So someone
tells John that Chad has a video coming up. I think Chad was sniping john during this show. And Chad
made a video that was going to be coming up that has a title
making fun of his kids. I don't know what it is because Chad
takes all his videos down. So I didn't see it. But I'm sure it
was something about his trans son or something was the title
of the video. And so what do you think John's gonna do when he sees that?
He's gonna be a Karen and report him to YouTube. Let's report this
So he does this in real time we watch him report, let's see
Child
He just said so he's looking at this the thing when you go to report a video, you have
to pick what happened that you're reporting.
Listen to what he says.
Child abuse.
Okay, John, your children are all adults.
I'm sorry to tell you this.
I know you want to use this as a shield.
It's not child abuse making fun of, I think the trans son is 30
or close to that. Calling that child abuse.
He might have that thing where, you know, people who have addictions and substance problems,
whatever, they only tend to remember a certain periods of their lives that has some clarity.
So he may honestly think at times his kids are still like
under 10 because that's when he was around.
He hasn't seen them since they've been adults.
So I understand that part of it.
But yeah, he really does think that his children
are children.
Yeah, if he's not around, they haven't grown up.
Right, child abuse.
He just reported it for her.
Next.
We got, there's so much excitement going on in the football
games upstairs.
All right.
We got to come over here.
I'm sorry.
I told hearing right now is people watching football upstairs.
It's a weird time for us to be doing this.
So John reports it and then you ported that one.
Let's report it again.
He's going to report in the same video over and over again.
And this is the funniest part.
So Rob Sal comes on the show and John's all excited about this message he gets.
Here it is.
Look, thanks for the report on YouTube.
So I just reported Chad four times.
John got an automated message from YouTube.
So when you fight Phil in a report, you get an automated message says YouTube. So when you fill in a report,
you get an automated message that says,
we got your report, thanks for sending it in.
We'll check on it.
And John shows his photo, he goes, look at this!
YouTube emailed me just now.
Fucking moron.
It's not a good look to be reporting people either,
I should probably point out.
No, and if they see multiple cases
of you reporting the video
and they find it not to be against the terms of service
Mm-hmm that penalizes you. Yeah, it's not child abuse
Dummy, so child abuse going on. It's a title of a video. You can say whatever you want
Too tired. All right, Eric
What have we done today? We've done it all we've talked about
Game this is football games when we talked about David Lee Roth
We talked about Opie and Anthony taking over for David Lee Roth that whole saga. We have a dark side Phil
Hoping to hit the goal and then some so we can eat some cheeseburgers
Opie is very upset with me, even though he doesn't know who I am
But apparently I'm a loser who just hangs out in his basement
stuttering John is
Very concerned about hang down in his basement. It's very concerned about this money
He owes Benson when he dykes trust now in the devil verse, you know what that means?

Indians of chemotherapy. The car, you know, jazz every car

show name suggestion for the Wednesday show dog shit Wednesdays.
Keep it simple. Okay. The other thing, quick note about the wonderful cop,
cop cams, spectacular creep off a bonus episode on Friday just with them reference to African American ladies
Grabbing each other's hair. That's definitely what you call a snatching action. They snatch that weave
Yeah, we were doing the creep off bonus show the cop cam stuff with my buddy
Jenny Fiorica who was on the force for 30 years
my buddy, Jenny Fureka, who was on the force for 30 years. So it was interesting to get his perspective. But the woman was getting arrested and they were taking off her wig
right on the street to like search for shit under there is very funny. Women don't like
that.
Yo, what up nigga? I know how you like to drop that n word everywhere. I remember for
now don't act like you don't you didn't drop that shit-word everywhere. I remember Ferndale, don't act like you didn't
drop that shit like it was like fucking A-bombs and shit. Anyways, you niggas, Stutter John

anymore losers. Okay, yes. No one's punk rock. I agree with you. Last one. Well, John said his ad agency that he just started working at is working on a Super Bowl ad. Well, the Super Bowl is
February 9 2025. That's really quick. It's coming up really quick. Don't the networks need lead time
to review those ads?
It's impossible for John to be working on a Superbowl ad.
That's going to be on February 9th. He's a line once again,
John puts your goddamn lip snacking rock and roll. Yeah. That's a, that's also a good point. Like just to produce the commercial and
all the production diamond
