Starting point is 00:05:07 so he can get monetized. But first, we're gonna talk about Rainn Wilson, who hosts a podcast about some serious mumbo jumbo. This is a suggestion from Timothy McD. And this is a show called Soul Boom with Rainn Wilson. Rainn Wilson, you know him you love him comedic actor the office Who doesn't have a warm spot in their heart for rain? Wilson? You go. Oh, he's got a podcast. This is gonna be great It'll be laughing with the other folks from the office talking about old episodes reminiscing
Starting point is 00:05:40 What's he gonna be doing? Well, the intro kind of sums up what the show is all about. Actually, Hey there, it's me, Rainn Wilson, and I want to dig into the human experience. I want to have conversations about a spiritual revolution. Let's get deep with our favorite thinkers, friends and entertainers about life, meaning and idiocy. Welcome to the Soul Boom podcast. They couldn't be more generic. So I tried a little experiment. I went to chat GPT and I said, uh,
Starting point is 00:06:16 write a description for a podcast hosted by Rainn Wilson. And it came back with hosted by Rainn Wilson beyond the spotlight takes you on a captivating journey into the minds of the world's most influential stars. Each week, Rainn sits down with fellow celebrities to explore life's deepest questions, uncovering their personal philosophies, struggles, and moments of enlightenment. From the pressures of fame to the quest for inner peace, no topic is off limits as guests share their unique perspectives on what truly matters. Tune in for intimate conversations that blend wisdom, humor, and raw honesty as
Starting point is 00:06:49 these icons open up about the meaning of life, purpose, and everything in between. Whether you're a fan of the guests or just curious about life's bigger picture, Beyond the Spotlight offers a refreshing and thought-provoking look at what makes us all human. And I went, holy shit jet jet GPT's come along sincerely I've read so many podcast descriptions that are almost word-for-word and the fact that they even put in nothing is off-limits Yeah, I was like obviously this is pulling from all those other podcast descriptions because it's so fucking generic Hmm, and they have a unicorn in their opening so that you know that this show is to be taken very seriously is that what that means? That means the opposite. Oh, yeah, that's what I'm trying to say
Starting point is 00:07:31 That's what I was thinking too now I teased on the last episode that rain Wilson had the great Trisha Paytas Yeah on his show and Andy you checked out the episode with Trisha. That's right our favorite life like Miss Piggy Feel like that's why this got recommended to us initially mainly because Trisha is trying to Change her image. I think she is trying to get away from all the craziness and be made more forthcoming with her mental illness challenge and God help me her Mental wellness journey. I hate it when people say journey. They say it all Showed up at this chat GPT think do everyone fucking word just get there already. Yeah. Yeah, are we there yet?
Starting point is 00:08:22 So she took the mental illness challenge She's gonna give you the cliff notes Chris about how to I mean And Upfront rain is introducing her on to the show, and I don't think he fully understands The conversation that he's about to have. He is going to put her, I guess what she's best known for, politely, as you try and explain what Trisha Paytas is all about, clip one.
Starting point is 00:09:00 Talk a little bit more specifically about kind of a blow by blow going through this mental health journey and documenting it in Such an fascinating in-your-face way. Yeah. Yeah, thank you for that It is you know, it is a blessing at this point because I think I found like my stability in life So I feel like now I at least I could show the happy ending. I think it could have ended like badly In which case be a very different story Yeah, which I also romanticize.
Starting point is 00:09:27 I always thought, I'll die before I'm 30. I just romanticized it like Anna Nicole. Those kind of people were the people I related to. Whereas, you know what, if I end early, at least I'll be legendary or something. That was the thoughts in my head. Of course, now I have children and I wanna live to be 100.
Starting point is 00:09:42 No one thinks Anna Nicole Smith is legendary. It's a joke. Yeah, arguably a better ending to this story though. Yes, but what an idiot she is. She's like, I always thought, would it be great to go out like Anna Nicole Smith? No, it's a drug act that everyone made fun of and got fat. Yeah. Yeah, she used to be hot by the way. Arguably. Arguably, yeah, you were not not you never started out hot Trisha Let's be clear, but he's just like you so you've uniquely documented this journey No, she's just putting her craziness on Front Street because she has no other talents correct but
Starting point is 00:10:20 at least Trisha has the Wherewithal to admit that any success that she's had was not intentional I just submit the money of just like I'm just gonna document this This is how I am I'm a mess like at least I can make money this way cuz I could never hold like a Standard job I tried and I just like couldn't before I made money on YouTube. I did stripping. I did escorting I did all that stuff and it was just my only op. Can you just like cook fries? I couldn't hold out a job all the jobs. I tried were like hot chicks do yeah No wonder you were bad at stripping and escorting. Yeah, Jesus Christ
Starting point is 00:10:53 So then when I saw on YouTube I could make money doing the same thing and just showing myself like completely like like just plastered or disassociating or whatever like and I thought so I did it unintentionally It was a man tend to be like look at like this because I didn't know I had mental illness. I really didn't We did yeah, I know you're the last one to know it's too bad I don't have real, you know marketable skills like taking BBC on only fans, but She's gonna start talking about her Problems manifesting in clip three.
Starting point is 00:11:26 What were the symptoms of your mental illness? How did it manifest? I hate my life so much I got money and it still sucks I can't stop eating it's a problem My boyfriend was gay now I ain't got one I got lipo but I'm still fat It didn't work Dragons don't exist so there's that What? What's going on? What just happened?
Starting point is 00:12:03 I just cut it off there cause Did I just enter in a music video for Trisha Payne as Andy? What's going on what just happened there that was I just cut it off there because That's her in a music video for Trisha Payne us Andy. What's going on? Well, he asked her how our problems manifest so I gave you a perfect example just eating potato chips of the tub Yes, probably how does she got to this point in life? You've never been Never eat potato chips of the top getting lipo so you can just get fat all over again. Yeah, that could be a problem. I checked out a different episode. Okay.
Starting point is 00:12:30 And I checked out these two characters, Rhett and Link, from Good Mythical Morning. We covered them back in the 200s on this show. Ear biscuits. These are like these two trad dads. They're corn balls that do a bunch of shows. And I didn't realize how boring they are. Imagine going on someone else's show, you know, another celebrity and being this boring.
Starting point is 00:12:56 They think that I've heard you talk about that more than, than, than I've considered it, but. Yeah, I have a very close relationship with judgment, growing up in an environment of an all-seeing God who was frequently demanding confession. And I grew very accustomed to that. And then I think over the past decade of moving out of some of those beliefs cognitively,
Starting point is 00:13:33 it's still very, it's all baked in here in terms of feeling almost like feeling more comfortable in an environment of judgment so I'll assume judgment like from my wife I care very deeply about what she thinks of me her opinion of me she loves you she loves me all right here's a quick quiz anyone know what he just said following this at all? So that is Link. Well these are by our personalities, so we better get cool haircuts, cause something's gotta pick up the slack.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Every white guy on this show is the worst hair I've ever seen, it's so ridiculous. No one gives a fuck, this guy looks like he was in a wind tunnel three seconds before they went on. Yeah, it looks like Mac from Philly doing a bit. Right. It's like baby Billy but imagine going on a show and just having no energy and
Starting point is 00:14:31 And I don't even really want to be here, but I'll tell you about my journey And rain just going yeah, right. Yeah Worse than the other two guys in this. He's enabling that. He's done zero props. So apparently these guys were like Christian missionaries. They were evangelical Christians. And they've changed their ways.
Starting point is 00:14:57 This is a big part of their story and their journey. Their story. Yep. I would say that both of you consider yourselves Christians at this point. No, no You're not Christians No, wow, I missed the boat there I mean this is something you would learn from what really their Wikipedia page Like alright, so you guys are Christians, let's talk about some religion like nope. Oh shit
Starting point is 00:15:24 So rain was not prepared for this interview at all and it turns into him trying to convert them back to Christianity for some reason Which is really weird. I don't think he was ready for this at all, but They did have some great banter. This is where the jokes started coming in. These are bible jokes We don't play those a lot on this show, but These are pretty good. I wonder why. Passé. They were like, we'll say it like once a year on our podcast, and when we broke the seal on it,
Starting point is 00:15:54 it was over the course of like, Don't use the word seal, that's in the book of Revelations. When we broke the seventh seal on it. The four horsemen of the producers of our podcast rode into the room and said, are you sure you wanna share that? On the fierymen of the producers of our podcast rode into the room and said, are you sure you wanna share that? On the fiery sort of the microphone that you're speaking into.
Starting point is 00:16:10 Good stuff. So you saw that Rainn Wilson was not prepared to talk to these guys. He didn't know what their deal was. But what's funny is that this guy Rhett is super prepared to talk to him. And so I'm interested, I've read your book. Oh gosh, thanks so much. And so I...
Starting point is 00:16:27 I didn't read yours. Guess comes in having done the homework. I read your book, I'm ready to talk to you about this shit. He's like, oh cool, I watched a video you were in once. I didn't know we're going to be doing that. So, Rain wrote a book called Soul Boom, Why We Need A Spiritual Revolution. And I guess that's the basis of the show that he's doing, is all about spiritual revolution. Did you learn anything from this show? Well, I had the notes written on my hand
Starting point is 00:16:53 by start sweating. So, so no, no, no key takeaways. Well, hopefully Trisha Payne's was more interesting than these two idiots that I was checking out. I'm sorry, my takeaway is you summed it up in the intro It's mumbo jumbo. It's mumbo jumbo I was trying to write like a quick one line thing for this. That's the only word I could think of yeah I scrubbed around in an episode that dropped a day ago and couldn't find anything to sink my teeth into
Starting point is 00:17:20 Like I had no idea what they're talking about. It's so boring and this video that I'm playing for you this one with these guys from Ear Biscuits 125,000 views it's not like no one's watching this shit people are watching this for some reason they're getting duped there's nothing to be learned here except for maybe what Trisha Paytas' actual problems are good for. Well, at first it was just, you know, I attribute a lot of it to abusing prescription pills, so I thought, well, maybe it's like, when I'm using this, it's just I'm a little unhinged, but then when I wasn't.
Starting point is 00:17:56 It was 2019, I don't know, just like, something happened where I got 51-50'd, I had just gone through a breakup, and I- What's 51-50'd for those who don't know I just like something happened where I got 51 50. I had just gone through a breakup and I was 51 50 like oh, it's like a So like in California danger to itself or others yeah, okay, so you know yeah, okay? Yeah, some of our viewers may not okay, right? Appreciate the bad out of there thought you might yeah, but yeah, she's a danger to everyone around her I got women and children first in the state of New York
Starting point is 00:18:29 yeah, she's definitely a problem and She celebrates that and now she's famous and has lots of money So it's a really good story for all the young people to know about who all want to be like Trisha Paytas Oh, I don't have any talent. I'm a problem. Yeah, can I be a multi-millionaire? Why not apparently here eat some chicken McNuggets in your car? Filament one of the most annoying things about people in therapy that They think that because they've gone to therapy that they're therapists correct and they try and talk Let's explore that Andy. Yeah, let's explore that. I mean How do you feel when you say that about therapy and thinking you're a therapist?
Starting point is 00:19:09 I feel like I don't know what I'm talking about because I've never been to therapy And just because Trisha has been to multiple therapy sessions per week That doesn't make her an expert even though she's gonna Try and sound like she is but failed miserably. I have borderline personality disorder, which is more of like a like a personality disorder You don't say Say more you don't make don't it shake And in clip 6 this is where rain starts to realize that he's talking to And in clip six, this is where Rain starts to realize
Starting point is 00:19:45 that he's talking to an imbecile, a lunatic. Watch his expression on his face at the end of this clip. So when I went to the group therapy classes, they really taught you the skills on, for me it's breathing, which now, and later on I had another rock bottom in 2021, but for me it's kind of like my meditation now, but in DBT they call it wise mind,
Starting point is 00:20:08 which is just really counting the spaces in between breaths, which is basically for me meditation. So show us wise mind right now, can you demonstrate? So it would be like, yeah, if I was getting overwhelmed and I wanna snap on someone, and this just works for me, not for everybody, but it really was taking the breaths, you just go, you count and then you see the spaces in between and you just count, you either see the spaces
Starting point is 00:20:28 or you count the breaths. So it's like one, two, three, four, five, then you exhale, so it's like. And then just like watching the spaces pass. As I've gotten into like meditation, sometimes I see like clouds passing or my problems passing or just kind of like taking a moment, which I don't think I ever did
Starting point is 00:20:46 I was very quick to react which is why all my videos online are me just like really angry and aggressively reacting to anyone who said Anything about me. Well, that's retarded It's more like wise breathing. I get wise lungs not so much a wise mind as somebody that can barely count to five She's basically counting sheep. Yes. Daydreaming. The therapist is like, you're better off unconscious. Right? Take these pills and never wake up. All right. Let me get back to this guy link who I'm declaring is the most boring guest to ever be on a podcast.
Starting point is 00:21:23 Everything that comes out of his mouth is tedious. And you know, I think the judgment thing is a big piece of it for me, that I'm unpacking in therapy still for a couple of years. I'm a very systemized thinker, and I do like to know a way. Boring. I'd love to know a way. I'd love to see what this therapist does, like draws eyeballs.
Starting point is 00:21:56 This is great. It's really interesting. Holy shit. This guy's a bore. He's the worst. So I noticed right out of the gate, all of these guys, their hair is atrocious. Rain looks like he hasn't tried to style his hair in a decade He's not even worried about it, and then he brings it up for some reason you have enough hairspray You guys have great hair like seeing in person is like Mine is just like but that it's it's all it's all right. Everyone has great hair compared to rain. What is he doing? This is like the opi look that he's got going. I don't care Don't need to do my hair for you. You're on a show. You're hosting a show
Starting point is 00:22:37 Put some product in there or something grab a comb. I don't know have some respect producer Chris I mean, you're the one who should be giving advice here. Not me Have some respect producer producer Chris. I mean, you're the one who should be giving advice here. Not me Have good hair. There it is. See it's that easy. He's not even the host. He's just a producer and he knows that so they're talking about uh people's various understandings of god and what god does and uh rain points out that he grew up thinking that there was this thing called a sky daddy, who's watching all of us and looking for sins and things. He tries to think of examples of sins that sky daddy would be watching us for. He has a very limited collection.
Starting point is 00:23:20 Because it's in the groundwater that, and I call them in the book sky daddy this kind of idea of a judgmental sky daddy god Kind of looking down at us like oh he he masturbated he looked at porn or you know, he he did this Let's smite him What can people be doing that god be watching I of the dittling themselves slapping their balls around these Making comes he's making a white The guy that's weird I would have come up with one other example, but all right Yeah, I know you seem to have a one-track mind rain. Let's get back over to Trisha Paytas and
Starting point is 00:24:03 Seven she's gonna describe her low point of when she realized she couldn't keep her lifestyle. Her center of gravity. Yeah. Her low point. Right. What was your lowest point and what sought you to kind of seek perhaps a spiritual path
Starting point is 00:24:20 out of what you were experiencing? I've had a couple low points. a path out of what you were experiencing? I've had a couple, couple low points. 2007, 2019, I had two overdoses that landed me in the hospital, but it actually was 2021 when I had like an actual psychotic break where I was like, ooh, like nothing's working because 2021 I've done the therapy, I've done the DBT,
Starting point is 00:24:41 I thought I had everything under control, but you know, there was just like one event online, like sort of like a cancellation, and I've been through so many, but there was one specific cancellation that like, honestly, it's like traumatic. I've never talked about it. Like it's online, I think if people know, they know,
Starting point is 00:25:00 but it's actually, and a lot of it was. You talk about it here? Yeah. When they canceled the baconator Because it is still so fresh right like it's a few years ago a lot of it was brought on by me I would say like 90% of it was definitely brought on by me because I just I Couldn't handle the triggers that I was able to there was just a situation I was in that triggered me a lot
Starting point is 00:25:22 And if I'm putting it all on me and like not on anyone else like it triggered me so much and I thought I was like strong enough to like handle these triggers but it just it didn't work so so I played that so that we could play this next one because this is where we go back to when she was doing frenemies with our buddy you can climb right and This is the very last episode I trimmed it way down because it's maybe about a five-minute conversation But this is she's going to start flipping out about Money, and it really turned into a big problem between those two because their significant others are brother and sister
Starting point is 00:26:03 So Trisha's husband Moses is Ethan's wife He was yeah brother, so I can't imagine what Thanksgiving dinner is like but especially especially No leftovers well, it's good because eat this doing so much blow. He doesn't eat anything Notice this is pre blow pre ozempic Ethan Like a lazy podcast like we're gonna play games on You don't do anything for it. You show up. We do all the work. Oh my god. Yeah, right How am I wrong
Starting point is 00:26:44 Feel like you're so angry about this. I'm literally not, but it's so funny. I'm not, I'm angry when you say something. You need to admit when you're angry. Ethan, I promise you, this is really as gaslighting, I go to a lot of therapy right now, and this really is. When I say I'm not angry, I'm not. I'm like just trying to tell you that you're like, oh,
Starting point is 00:27:00 we do everything for the show, and I'm saying it's not always good. But that was the first time we ever spent money on production costs. It's not about that, dude. It's literally about, we are producing the show and I'm saying it's not always good, but that was the first time we ever spent money on production costs It's not about that dude. It's literally about we are producing the show, and I'm taking a cut I feel like that's totally beyond reasonable Reasonable You're not upset you're perfectly perfect condition right now, okay wow Holy cow that's crazy Even the hand agree you see I mean I don't know I just don't see what you just said that's that's really what did I do
Starting point is 00:27:30 Holy shit, I think we I we have to end it now like really what did I do we got to stop for real really? Tricia let me just say sorry that you just did that you're right You that's but I could you don't know how much therapy I go to a week I go to four Everything's fine Thank you guys for watching and I just I don't want it to be a thing where you're just sitting here any Pizza, I don't become a meme So then I'll say I'm sorry Okay Obviously, I don't want to have get an argument. Okay. All right. We're done. Thank you guys. Thank you
Starting point is 00:28:16 That's how frenemies ended. Yeah that turned into a long drawn out series of them doxxing each other and throwing each other under the bus and Blowing up she goes to therapy four times a week That's my truth therapy Sarcastic general direction if you go to therapy and you realize what gaslighting means, okay So it all came down to the fact that Ethan's like yeah We're doing all the work behind the scenes you just show up here, and you get half the money doesn't make any fucking sense
Starting point is 00:28:48 Yeah, she got very upset about that. It seems like yeah I think she puts a lot of work into the show her solution was to hire a whole different crew and split everything 50-50 it was the worst fucking night. She's not a She's not smart or talented. Yeah, but thank God that show went away There's so many shows like a fighter and the kid and these things are like this. They're still doing this Yeah, what's going on right now? It's the best thing that ever happened. Yeah, yeah, she she got her But that was her low point in 2021 according to this rain worse than worse than ODing and all the other shit She went through okay
Starting point is 00:29:23 You are keep going yeah, let's keep going okay, because in clip 9 rain is going to Call her on her shit about Having performative meltdowns online. Yes, it's like people that are actually Having a psychotic break don't set up their phone and record it and I like it already and monetize it. Oh, they don't Greg Hughes do you have something to say about this? Like screaming sobbing like I couldn't control myself like I couldn't breathe just like Shouting at people to like leave me alone, and let me just pause you right there

What is what's the deal with that though? What is that in and again is it because you're getting that reward from doing it the more that you have right nervous breakdowns online Then you get you know the money truck backs up this guy gets it don't gaslight be rain Sounds about right yep Makes sense, and this is neither here nor there, but why is wallpaper making a comeback?
Starting point is 00:30:51 It sucks out wood paneling I know I get it I'm more of a wood panel guy more of a wood panel guy than I wallpaper So now for the chat to say it we're all thinking it put one in the chat for wallpaper Do it the chat for wood panel. Yes Let's let's figure this out right now but in clip 10 There we're gonna find out the real easy fucking solution to being tortured by dickheads online Is to put your phone down. I just wanted people to be like look. I'm breaking down like I quit
Starting point is 00:31:22 I'm surrendering. Please stop talking about me like I'm done like and that's what I wanted people to see like, look, I'm breaking down. Like I quit, I'm surrendering. Please stop talking about me. Like I'm done. Like, and that's what I wanted people to see, but it backfires, right? Cause obviously in the storm of cancellation, people are like, you're being manipulative. This is fake, fake tears, which kind of makes it worse for the person then going through it, right? Like it was real, but for me,
Starting point is 00:31:39 I just felt like if people could see the hurt, like, cause I used to do that to like boyfriends to anyone. Like I wanted them to see that I was actually in pain, but it kind of backfires, so it doesn't really work that way, which now I haven't cried or had a breakdown online since then, and I'm so happy and much prouder for that. Three years without a gigantic online breakdown,
Starting point is 00:31:58 congratulations. Have we knocked you on a window? Okay. Yeah, yeah. It was. God. Social media is bad for your health. It's really bad for your health, even what it pays you millions of dollars It's still as bad for you. Go figure Just when you thought that Trisha was the crazy person in this conversation
Starting point is 00:32:16 Rain is going to prove that I just called this rain tarted Ultimately at soul boom we're looking for spiritual tools to help us in our personal transformation and societal transformation. So I love that this psychotic breakdown is also mentioned was very different than anything else I have experienced in the sense that I was like hearing voices during this era, right? From 2020 to like 2021, when I was getting triggered a lot. And it's something I should shut down.
Starting point is 00:32:43 I definitely should shut down like anybody triggering me, but I just, I don't know. I just play along with it, because for so long in my life, I'm like, this is what makes money. So I think I was already conditioned to be like, well, triggers are funny, and when I get triggered, people like it, and then people do like it until they don't, right?
Starting point is 00:32:56 And then they're like, this is too weird. That's such a weird, self-fulfilling circle, snake eating its own tail of like, oh, everyone looking at me causes me a breakdown and I get cancelled But when I break down then I make money and I get even more attention and more people are looking at me and then that makes me have another breakdown like it it's It's it's a I feel like that's what's happening to America. Yeah It's specifically Trisha Paytas. This is your you've just discovered rain wheels away. Everyone's Trisha Paytas. It's specifically Trisha Paytas. This is you're you've just discovered rain wheels away
Starting point is 00:33:26 Everyone hates Trisha Paytas. This is the cycle that we none of us can stand He said you're America at the end of the Must have seen a certain look in her eyes like, you know, the country is what I'm talking about Sounds like he's trying to get on the side of the crazy homeless person that's trying to stab him at the bus stop It's like oh, no, we're in this together, right? Yeah, which is society's fault because yeah I have a fun clip here because This guy link who was this devoted Christian he has this revelation and
Starting point is 00:34:03 He's gonna tell it on rain show and I guess rain didn't realize how big of a deal it was because it took him a long time to react to it. I have not been able to pray for yeah over a decade maybe 15 years. Wow. Wow What's the interesting part Even prayed in 15 years. It's wild sums up a lot of people's experience. What's this guy gonna say? That's it's unpredictable so then he does have his story about how he recently prayed and in true link fashion It is boring af and My mind is just going 100 miles an hour as I'm doing this because there's like a part of me
Starting point is 00:34:50 that's like, don't you do this? And then there's a part of me that's like, well, what do you, is this even anything? If you don't, what is prayer if you don't believe that you're talking to any, to an entity? That's how I feel was that I was just doing it just to see what it would feel like good stuff could you imagine praying and that's the story you bring onto a podcast to talk about I wasn't
Starting point is 00:35:15 sure what to think is there a God I wasn't sure cool good stuff moving on I just wanted to see what it was like you now you sound like army hammer, right? Yeah I'm not even into God, but I prayed to him just to see what that was all about I let him stick the tip in just to see what it felt like okay All right, let's get back on the other mental patient here Trisha Paytas, okay? And well, okay, so let's skip to the clip 13 here. This is She starts talking about, she's addicted to pills, she's addicted to attention, she's addicted to food.
Starting point is 00:35:53 What else could you possibly, let's find something that no one's addicted to and get addicted to that as well. Same thing with money, same thing with everything. I used to just spend, I would make $500,000 a month and spend $500,000 a month. Like I just do that. Would you spend it on music videos? I used to produce my own music videos and I would go to the Universal Studios Backlot, you know get fire department for like hoses going off
Starting point is 00:36:15 And I would I did like I recreated like D-Day like in Long Beach Like I had all these soldiers and blow-ups like yeah, you're addicted to making your own music video Yeah, I spent a lot of money ten million dollars on it Jesus Christ rain. Here's that and Ask a stupid question Yeah, in like six years Yeah, they good Nope I'm nothing to show for the ten million dollars, but that's what Brewster's million. They should have just made music videos
Starting point is 00:36:46 Yeah, you never had that idea that's gonna waste a lot of money. That's not an addiction You're addicted to attention. It's not you know what I mean She goes to therapy four times a week if she doesn't know that creating music videos is out of the addiction Yeah, it's a way to get attention. It's a way to get attention. It's because you think that you're an actual Musician and according to those videos eat. Yeah, right. Right. It's an opportunity. I didn't want to eat McDonald's, but the song's all about eating McDonald's. So of course I had to do that the music video works out well. This is a show about spirituality, Carl. So Tricia needs to take it to a spiritual tip in this next clip
Starting point is 00:37:26 Yeah, I feel like when people talk about manifesting It's also like praying but if you even go back to the original religion like wiccan right like the pagans They're using like the elements to smoke the fire, but it's doing all the same thing, right? Like you're all like or even energy right when scientists like oh the big bang, but it's like people believe God You know, it's like God big bang energy source Whatever you want to call it's kind of the same right and people don't like when I say that cuz that's gonna be whatever but Jesus Christ, it's all similar when you like even like in Buddhism like what do you mean like when you meditate it's like
Starting point is 00:37:55 Science will call it like wise mind right like therapy will be like that's wise man But to me it's like meditation. So I kind of learned that and I really did study like everything Can we just also say we don't actually need gravity But that's a different thing like you mean, but I saw some dudes do this We're watching something where someone's like we don't actually need gravity. We're watching this to me like we actually don't need it What do you mean that we don't need gravity? What if it was never invented?
Starting point is 00:38:21 Sorry, I think new You forgot how stupid she is. Thank you for that blast from the past there in front of me. Sounds like you're an expert. So she says the Big Bang is the same as God? Do you understand what the Big Bang theory is? Holy shit that's stupid.
Starting point is 00:38:38 Or science and meditation, yadda yadda yadda. Yeah, I think she caught how stupid that was and she's like I better say some other shit real fast. You know those wicc those wicked the very first religion ever Those gravitarians Think they invented gravity actually those gravitarians All right, well, I like it when she gets deep. Yeah, well, maybe you are nothing from any of these clips so far Maybe you want her to teach you how to meditate because apparently if you're counting clouds thing again
Starting point is 00:39:10 meditating on tik-tok People who are watching you have the ability to throw rotten tomatoes at you while you're doing it Oh, this gets pretty fun, and it's me like literally just cuz sometimes I would do just like vibrations right now No, that's like that. I would just do vibrations just to see if I could feel something different. So I was doing that as I was doing yoga, as I was doing, you know, whatever. And I was like, well, let me just go on TikTok Live
Starting point is 00:39:32 because I'm not creating any other content. And then yeah, people were doing tomatoes at me. But it helped, it helped me. People thought I was being funny, but still to this day, I really do start my morning off with like meditation when I can. Yeah, but not on TikTok. Why, what does meditation have to do with broadcasting?
Starting point is 00:39:48 It's the op these people are fucking like the laws their minds. Yeah, that's not you a lot of things You shouldn't do while broadcasting meditation is top of the list. I Can't imagine something more boring than that, right? That's not content. No And then she says probably one of the biggest Signs it evidence of a moron that I Use as a benchmark. Mm-hmm. Is it the co-host W ATP? Yes They also play the lottery every day That is a tax on dumb people the lottery or in this case
Starting point is 00:40:26 Tax on a very rich dumb person. Mm-hmm works out well there, I guess Yeah, she it makes you sick how much money she has earned and pissed away but This is another one where you realize that rain is also a crackpot and this is just two insane people talking to each other. Of a feeling. It's kind of like seeing things. Pause it real quick. He asked her if she's had like a spiritual awakening or like a trans, you know, I don't know, I'm not spiritual, but so then she's like, no I haven't, but have you? So he's describing his spiritual awakening. Oh great.
Starting point is 00:41:12 Of a feeling, it's kind of like seeing things in a new way. I once had this dream when I was 19 that I was, I once had this dream when I was 19 that I was, I was flying over this green, green field and there were all these like ducks and they were scattered and some birds were scattering and I was flying and the colors were so vibrant. Who gives a shit, who gives a fuck?
Starting point is 00:41:43 It was this just otherworldly experience and Everything was kind of built The green was love the birds And and I woke up and I just had this profound experience that I think some people need I was gonna tap into. Which was that everything is love. I really believe that I dreamed of the next world or the next plane or a higher plane or something like that
Starting point is 00:42:20 that I was soaring in it. But it wasn't just up here and it wasn't just here it was it was this Here vivid fucking dream jesus christ these people i had a fun dream once and i realized everything is love Good good stuff great take away from that a Woman with postpartum depression throwing her baby in the garbage is that love? No, but everything else Andy. That's a be a wise ass Raines try to talk about a spiritual. I guess I'll never be invited on soul boom Some wise mind. I'd love to be on soul boom. I love to call this ass all out
Starting point is 00:43:01 I love that he makes her drink from a soul boom mug Mm-hmm, but he being the host has to get to soul boom Johnny Carson sitting slightly higher than the other guests All right, what else you got any couple more um well sure this is rain describing This is his evidence that there's an afterlife some nine-year-old widow was hallucinating It's I'm not buying it, but he did someone very old died the husband Died in his 90s and the wife was there in the room as he passed and as he passed She saw her daughter that had passed away
Starting point is 00:43:47 in the room. Bullshit. Wearing a blue dress at the foot of the bed of her husband who was literally in death rattle, like the final breaths. She saw her daughter in a blue dress. That's fascinating, please go on. And the daughter was putting a blue blanket over the body of
Starting point is 00:44:09 her husband You know a symbolic blue blanket she didn't actually see like there was all of a sudden blanket didn't just appear It goes blanket. We get it Are you are you taking him and and she said yeah I'm taking him and all this good and and and we're going and there were other people in the room and This just happened last week Are you making that up yeah, do you think you sound dumb saying that Are you making that up? Yeah, do you think you sound dumb saying that? The mom was like are you taking him and the ghost was like yeah deuces. I'm out There was other people in the room he didn't say they didn't see it either
Starting point is 00:44:58 He just said there was people watching a 90 year old woman Didn't happen rain right it's like woke dad all over again. Tell me what just happened. It was that cool Show me yeah get a photo or something, but in my last clip 20 This is Trish like I said it just makes you sick how she's managed to like fail upward mm-hmm, and she's What makes great thing is her body yeah that too, but I talk about it because I just feel lucky I feel like now if everything went away like I'd be good because I like made the money I've invested what like I can I can like live now you know but I always will talk about it glowingly because I kind of made like Hmm because I know what you're saying like for me money was like the end-all all. If I got a million dollars, 10 million dollars, then I made it.
Starting point is 00:45:48 And so I did, I did that. I was able to do that and I felt really great about it and I felt really lucky. So I talk about it in the sense like, wow, I got to do all this and make the money I wanted and live, which is good. But now, I don't know, I don't necessarily care so much about the money, but I'm thankful for what I did do to get here You know what I mean to be stable in my life to finally have enough money to not have to worry about it Sounds like you got your priorities straight. Yeah, she's got it all figured out right now money equals happiness, right? That's what I've heard I'm sure that if everything went away Trisha to have no problem with that at all. She'd be totally cool
Starting point is 00:46:22 Not being in the spotlight anymore and being famous should be totally cool with that at all. She'd be totally cool not being in the spotlight anymore and being famous She'd be totally cool with that right? She stopped herself there. I thought she was gonna say at least I made a difference She's like nope. Yeah, I made videos right All right. Well that is rainn wilson's podcast Soul boom thanks Tim soul crushing Tim's our boy that came to visit yes so good looking out Tim from the Boston area right yes he's a good egg was hanging out in Rochester someone sent this to me I
Starting point is 00:46:59 can't remember where I saw it but somebody sent me there's this the show called cock fight. And I think they're an up and coming show with, uh, comedians, kind of like a come town kind of thing. Three guys sitting around, chewing the shit and stuttering. John would say, and, uh, this recent episode, I think they're trying to start a beef with us guys. Um, how about this? We can put the feelers out for this one do you ever hear of a podcast called who are these podcasts? I've heard of it, and I've never watched always I've listened to a lot of their episodes over the years
Starting point is 00:47:34 Thank you. Yeah, do you have you heard about I haven't heard about this essentially. I think it's audio only anyway But what they do is it's catch up got a YouTube stream, baby But what they do is it's catch up got a YouTube stream baby No free but for years they listen to podcasts, and then they pretty much just trash the shit They've done it for years. It's actually really enjoyable, and I believe they're members of the dabble verse Do you know the dabble verse? Which is like Kevin Brennan and all these other guys where they all just talk about Gina Bisconsi's fucking wedding or whatever That's my favorite description of the devil hilarious. It's kind of brighter. They talk about genos wedding. That's the devil That's all we do. That's it. You got it. They all make a million dollars a year somehow. It's true anyway
Starting point is 00:48:15 I like having monetized when the monetization was so things have changed this time next week I'm gonna have a fucking roller fake Rolex Alright, so that is check out cockfight that's the name of the YouTube channel they're trying to get their subscriptions up they only have 1200 right now but they want to get to 5,000 so check out our friends over there at cockfight when you get a chance. Also speaking of our friends, we had Ben Sixsmith on the show. Yes. And his article is now online. So if anyone wants to go to the critic.co.uk
Starting point is 00:48:58 and there is the article, the irresistible rise of the low cows. And it's interesting what they chose here. The image is of Howard with share for some reason. I mean, we read this article, it's Howard's mentioned in it. But and then the the sub headline here is why are British political podcasts dominated by failed politicians and establishment journalists? That's wildly different. It's very different than what this article is about, which is mostly stuttering John at what a piece of shit he is. And how we clout him.
Starting point is 00:49:32 Some people might be disappointed with me. Yeah. You stick your teeth into this. Right. AI writing these headlines. Look, Howard looks terrible. Yo, seriously, who wrote that headline? It doesn't even make sense
Starting point is 00:49:52 But anyway, that's available online go check that out share that with friends so they know about the the dabble verse and Centering John the world's greatest low cow I Think we can all agree on that and when I say we can all agree on that I mean me producer Chris trucker Andy and Eric Nagel Erock was a buddy. Hello. How are you? I'm doing great, man. Thanks for hopping on today. Thank you for for having me. Well, you've been making the rounds. Of course, you are on Chrissy show. I made one round and then just picked it up.
Starting point is 00:50:21 Well, Chrissy's got the new studio and you were the first guest, right? Yeah. Yeah, I was's got the new studio and you were the first guest, right? Yeah, yeah, I was. It was a lot of fun. Nice place that she's got all set up. Vast improvement from what she had with, I forgot her show's name, but when she was at Compound and she seems to be the wet spot. Thank you. And then she's going to be expanding. I guess it's now she's doing one-on-one interview stuff. So there's more of that coming. I don't know who else's book, but mine was the inaugural one.
Starting point is 00:50:53 I think just to get all the bugs out and all the technical problems like, oh, it's wasted on E-Rock and then we'll have real people on. Which is smart. I remember her very first podcast that she ever did, Gina was the first guest. So she knows how to find some losers and pop them on there to work stuff out. She's slowly making her way up to a normal guest. So you actually were a little provocative
Starting point is 00:51:15 and you got Opie responding to you on a recent episode. I've heard I haven't seen. I know I can't wait to show you Before we get to that though, I want to show you this just ended up in my algorithm I saw this this is from like seven months ago but this is a quick opie short that I think is a little ironic. I just want to come on here and say if Trump wins the election I'm leaving America. I'm just kidding. I'm not a self-absorbed unaware narcissistic celebrity.
Starting point is 00:52:02 What did he just say? He's not a what now? Hold on. I'm not a self-absorbed, unaware, narcissistic celebrity. Not a celebrity. That part checks out. Who thinks people give a shit what they say? Yeah, we all have the means to just pick up and go to Europe and live because we don't like who's gonna be the president
Starting point is 00:52:31 of the United States of America. Ah, shut up! Take that Rosie O'Donnell. That's the big, that's the big send throw the phone into the beach and then walk away. He also likes to use the beach as the platform to announce that he's leaving places. This is how we found out he wasn't coming back to Sirius XM. Right. And that's where Jim and Sam became Jim and Sam, because he disappeared for a month.
Starting point is 00:52:58 And then he was writing like a note on the beach. Like he was writing cryptic messages on the on the beach that he wasn't coming back did he sign a contract I think somewhere down the line after he left Sirius altogether he was doing a podcast I think he was teasing that Artie was gonna be coming to join him or something like I thought he was being funny he wrote something about no Opie and Artie or something like that was gonna have he just writes messages on the beach. I'm glad he's help Thought he was over doing all of that, but I guess not we're back on the beach making false announcements
Starting point is 00:53:35 Well, he's at the beach house this week and so he's doing his stream that is first thing in the morning and Apparently the family is still in bed because it's very early I guess maybe the beach house isn't as spacious as his Manhattan apartment because he can't be as rowdy when he's doing the show from there this is early yes it's very very early people are sleeping in the house. It's time to wakey-wakey coffee is on We're here at the ocean man. We're way out east on Long Island. I'm trying to talk a little softer because People are still sleeping. I want to be outside on the deck, but it's still very very windy very very cold
Starting point is 00:54:21 So we'll do it this way today. That's all right, right you think he's got a talking to All right, I can't stand you screaming into that stupid computer 5 a.m.. Every day You got a tone of down banging on the walls Shut up stupid. I do enjoy the fact that he you know He's all about doing his show the way he wants to do it. Right. But he always has to hide the fact that he's doing it. Like he did it in the car at Costco when nobody saw him. He has to get up super early in the morning.
Starting point is 00:54:53 Like this is before probably the kids even get up for school or whatever. So he goes and he does, I think only like 40 minutes, half an hour, 40 minutes of his live stream. And then that's it There's nothing else unless he's at the the bar Or if he's unleashed That is true. Let's not get around him though. Sometimes. Oh be is unleashed I can go anywhere within a three block radius of his apartment. Love it if people are still shushing him So opi tries to get a Trump chant going but it's very difficult to be enthusiastic about it when you have to whisper
Starting point is 00:55:33 Bob the most what's up, brother? How are you? We got Jules Winfield 94 with a trump. Oh my god Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump. There you go. Greg, would you shut the fuck up? Whisper harder. Pounding from the ceiling as they just stomp on the floor. It just kind of loses its momentum and energy when you have to whisper these things. Like there's no reason to start chanting on the show. It would be so fun as he's doing these things. And like we used to
Starting point is 00:56:11 have an old thing called Assault on the Media. And it would just be like people in the background of live newscasts with signs and playing instruments and you know, having a parade doing whatever they could to disrupt the news. If this looks like a public beach, if you could just find the area and just see the only light that's on and a guy sitting there, you just have people in the back on the water doing a whole lot. Like Tony Soprano, that episode where he just anchored off the boat and he was playing music just to drive those people out. Something like that would be a lot of fun.
Starting point is 00:56:42 Now he's getting notes from people. This is actually fascinating. Is he looking over and like picking a piece of paper off the side? Like someone's actually there giving him notes. No, no, not, not in real time. Cause then we do need to send a wellness call over there. He's actually changing things up. Good morning. Um, I hope everyone likes my cleaned up look. I guess I guess it was too much for some people yesterday with the bed head and just rolling out of bed with us with a ratty hoodie on. All right. You know, if I'm going to make my big comeback
Starting point is 00:57:17 to radio, I got to look the part. Now he says that like he's joking, but he's not because he made it a point a few times that he actually shaved and took a shower before doing the show, something he normally does not do. And of course he doesn't swear on his show, it's been speculated that he's trying to get back on the radio, that's why he does first thing in the morning to show that he can still do it.
Starting point is 00:57:39 And he makes that joke like, oh, I guess I got a look good for my return to the radio. But wait till you find out who told him to shower and wash his hair and clean up before the show. It wasn't, it wasn't, it wasn't any of you guys. It was, it was one of my people. You know, I, I got, um, I got a manager and an agent, um, trust me, they don't make much money off me these days, but they're like, you know, um, the live stream was good. But I don't know.
Starting point is 00:58:15 They have to talk to me with kid kid gloves because they're really, they really want me to be doing more. Yeah. But you kind of looked, you kind of look homeless. Okay, I'll talk to you later. Yeah. But you kind of looked, you kind of look homeless. Okay, I'll talk to you later. Bye. And they hung up before I could give them a talking to is that a crazy statement? Oh, we just made. He literally has a manager or an agent going Yeah, oh, by tuned in on the live
Starting point is 00:58:40 stream. You look terrible, man. What do you do? You're not going to get employed. Looking like that. You've got to clean up a little bit What's the saying it on this show for years? But right you look like shit is not an easy message to deliver And then he even has to explain how He's a lunatic and you have to say things to him in a certain way or else he freaks out at you He just admitted all of that. Eric, why is he still talking to an agent or a manager? What is going on here? I don't know. I know the guy, if he's still with the same guy, I had to look up
Starting point is 00:59:13 his name, but if it's still the same guy, I know the guy that that is representing him. I know that company, that company has a lot of high level talent. I don't know how they're still holding on. You have to have a certain amount of money coming in per year for them to hold on to you. Correct, and there's zero. He goes, I'm making much money off me these days. You're not making any money.
Starting point is 00:59:35 You've done nothing. I do like his takeaways. The one piece of advice that was given to him is the one he wanted to give a talking to was, if he is trying to do more, yeah, you gotta look better. Now, we're past the date of just audio only audio is now in addition to video being the predominant thing. Clean yourself up a little bit, being up at five, six 30 in the morning to do this dream,
Starting point is 00:59:59 isn't setting the tone. Like I'm available to be hired somewhere else. Cause I can get up at this time. Right. That doesn't matter. It's the content, the visuals, the sound, all of that other stuff is what's selling you. So the actual real advice that he needs to hear is the one he's going to give them a talking to and they hung up on him. Isn't it funny that everyone talks to OP gives him advice too?
Starting point is 01:00:21 Every time he's like, yeah, Tim Sabian called me and he was telling me I got to do this thing and that Everyone's like open what you're doing now is not working stop it. He's like fuck yeah You still there? I'll just show you real quick. This is what opi looks like the morning before There we are good morning everybody welcome to my live stream. We are that different There we are good morning everybody welcome to my live stream. We are That's so ridiculous. He's just like well. I bought the camera, and I have a fucking boom mic Why haven't I won an academy award? No you got a fucking something interesting? You can't just wake up at the right time
Starting point is 01:01:03 Do time and he'll start doing something interesting soon. Give him a break. Trump. He's only been podcasting for like seven years. I'll figure it out eventually. Now, this is a serious Stuttering John parallel. I've been pointing these out. There's a lot of things that Opie and John both do. And one of them is talking about people in the chat turning on them. You know, it's weird. Barrister, um, Barrister was like one of ours. It's weird when I see some of these people turn. It's really strange. Barrister 1401 has changed and turned on me. There's another guy, I don't want to mention his name,
Starting point is 01:01:45 but he turned on me. And then there are people I see, because we don't really block a lot of people. That's another thing my manager slash agent said, he's like, why don't you get a moderator? I'm like, I don't, why? Let these guys punch themselves out. Yeah, but he's constantly getting advice from these people
Starting point is 01:02:02 and always saying no to it every time. Yeah, Opie, we're seeing these comments you're putting up. They're making you look bad. You should probably get someone to mod the shot. I don't care. All right. I'm wasting my time with working with him for so long. It does. It does take a long time to convince him of something that might be positive or might be something that we do and step in the right direction for things. Because it could have been the staff,
Starting point is 01:02:27 it could have been Aunt Jim, management, other comics telling him something. Yeah, but then there's always, yeah, but, there's always a yeah, but, and you're just like, how about, not saying you have to 100% do it, but at least listen to what is being presented to you. And then think about it. You don't have to act on it right now, but let it sit there and then try to do something
Starting point is 01:02:50 positive with it and it's never happened. I got to be honest. I have a lot of conversations with a lot of different people. No, you don't. And none of them give me advice on what I should be doing at the podcast. It never comes up. Is that odd? Like every conversation he has people are
Starting point is 01:03:05 like dude you got to get a better camera you got to get your light fixed your back lit you got this is your hair your hair socks you got a shave with presentable why am I getting these doses don't want to love me what's going on no I don't you're not a lovable person but give the benefit of the down like I don't want to shit on the guy Let me just try to offer up some advice and if he doesn't take it that's on him But at least I know I tried and said something. That's what everyone does. That's the approach to him It's like I know I'm trying to tell Opie if he's watching this clip right now That the fact that everyone is giving you advice is a clear sign that you're doing it wrong
Starting point is 01:03:45 People want to help. Yes, they want to it's not like John we're like fuck let him rot and die You know with hope they like you know what? I'm gonna reach out. I'm gonna see if he'll listen to me. Oh, he didn't alright But at least I know in the back of my head I tried to offer up something that was Anthony when he talks about Opie is Oftentimes saying you should be doing the show we should be doing this you should be doing that and Opie takes it as he's trashing me But he's literally offering up advice He wants him to be doing better than this like everyone who talks to Opie is trying to get him to do better
Starting point is 01:04:18 And I was wondering when he said he's talking to his agent or his manager about getting a moderator and making these changes He said he talked to Tim Sabian recently. There's no way he has an agent or a manager Is this all of the Tim Sabian conversation? He's trying to spread it out to multiple entities of his life I think he's got something going on. No, I know the guy who At least at one point we'll call 26 Talk to opi the last three years. All right, I'll send it. I'll call 2016 right now. That's what we talked to. Opie the last three years. All right. I'll send it. I'll send the guy an email and say, um, no, I know that guy was real and he did have somebody that was trying to help him,
Starting point is 01:04:54 but Tim has always been, um, a supporter of not just Oh, but aunt of North. Like he sees the money before he sees the friendships for anything. He's like, if I could just get them back together. Like I've had those talks with Tim and I was like, Tim, it's not gonna happen. Jim wants nothing to do with it. Ant won't do anything.
Starting point is 01:05:14 Hope definitely won't do anything. It's like, you're the only one who's still, you know, kind of holding onto this idea that, well, we could do it. It'll make, you know, they'll each make a million dollars each for one show. I'm like, then make it happen it happen Tim like I'm not shitting on Tim but your thoughts on this is like it's so far removed even if you could get them to the table is anyone gonna care? The only way a reunion would work
Starting point is 01:05:37 and anyone would care about it is if they hashed it out if it was Opie and Anthony and Jim all just talking about what has gone down since Anthony was fired from serious exam and even before that and they literally headed out, that will never happen. No, because you have to be honest with yourself. Correct, that will never ever happen. Opie would never subject himself to that. It would be too much. But yeah, people do want to help him out. That's the initial response to him before going, there's nothing I can do. I don't talk to the guy. Yeah. Yeah. But I'm like, so we don't block many people, but then I'll see people that have been just hammer fisting me. And the next thing
Starting point is 01:06:16 you know, they're like, they're one of mine. It doesn't make sense. This is a guy that doesn't, it goes deeper than that, but this is a guy that doesn't understand when like people in like in his family or friends growing up that cared about him, that loved him or was really concerned about him. He can't accept that. And to this day, he still has that blocker where it's like people want to legitimately help him and he can't, it's like you're invading his personal space and he can't function as a human being to listen or to try or to do like, you know, can you help me admitting that you were wrong?
Starting point is 01:06:53 Or you know what? I need to make a change. Could you, uh, I want to take you up on your offer. Could you help me out? He just can't get to that point. And that's why everybody stops dealing with them. Everyone has stopped dealing with them. And you made a comment on Chrissy's show, we were talking about earlier, about the day that he left Sirius. And I remember you telling the story here on WATP too, a while back, where he went into the control room where you were and yelled at you and then tried to slam the door
Starting point is 01:07:25 But yeah couldn't Stormed off. Yeah, so Kyle this guy unique Cyan's II guys remember unique He super chatted Opie with a question Who's this guy Iraq exposed shut up 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, uh, uh, Aren't you so hope he first focuses on the fact that Kyle thinks he looks tough in his avatar baseball hat This is this is the thing that and has been talking about a lot lately is that
Starting point is 01:08:14 Hope doesn't go to investigate anything like I know you're in the moment. You're bringing up the chats and goes well Did I don't know anything about that? I'll look into that and then if you go and you look into a clip or an audio or something You come back the next day with the clip in the audio go. Alright, here it is I'm gonna break even said recently we played it on the show where he goes I gotta start looking into this stuff myself because I've reacted to things that people tell me and they turn out to not be true Yeah But he doesn't actually learn he says the words. He knows it. It's maddening. it's like investigate it anybody like all these people fall
Starting point is 01:08:47 for this shit aunt pointed it out um recently where it's just like yeah they're doing it to stir up emotion that's what all these type of shows are and they all fall for it and they're like well give me send me the clip if you said that send me the clip send it to me right now i'll look at it we'll play it on here and we'll watch it we'll review it that's what you should be doing everybody just piles on there knowing that it's going to agitate him so that they can clip it put it out send it to anthony send it to norton send it to whoever and this is unique who put out his own video all about this and that guy does it too like i i mean the way i learned about him was, um, he did a whole thing with Brendan shop and that started getting everywhere. Like all the UF, uh, the MMA stuff we're carrying in about what a piece of shit Brendan shop
Starting point is 01:09:31 was and it all goes back to, uh, to that guy. Um, no channels like this and the show that we do, we have a lot to thank unique for because he really did set a precedent with that case where fair use is pretty loose. You could just play 10 minutes of his show and not even comment on it. Just be like, fair use loose. Yeah, it's, it's, it's actually helped us out. I think it's just said he falls for this all the time. Cause that statement is half correct. I did say that he did because that's what he did. That story has never changed. Correct. What's an expose? I've said that many times. So, you know, it might've been new to some people hearing it the first time, but that's what people do.
Starting point is 01:10:12 That's all it was. Just that super chat and open. It's so triggered. He's going to go on a little trip down memory lane. Okay. He rock exposed me. You know what? Let me me let me tell you something about Iraq. That guy shouldn't be saying anything crappy about me. He was a super fan that I literally met on the side of a highway because he that's the only place he would meet. I know. Hold on. He's going to focus so much on where you guys met. It's like it's an important part of this story for some reason. Yeah, he was down in the West Palm beach area. Um,
Starting point is 01:10:45 this was during the time that they had just recently got fired. So they weren't allowed to go anything. He went on a bit of a nomad journey around the country. He has family in Florida. So he was going up and down Florida and I reached out to him and, um, cause he was near the West Palm beach area. And I said, no, it was pitching for when the show would come back everything else. He's like, well, I'm coming up the highway. Is there anywhere near the side of the highway we could meet at?
Starting point is 01:11:13 And any other time, you know, like, I bet this guy, the side of the highway. Yeah. You're like, okay. And I'm like, well, I know there's a truck stop cracker barrel right near I-95 down there and that's where we met and that was it Like we had a meeting. Let's let Opi tell the story. Eric. He's the professional broadcaster here. The break of a lifetime. He wasn't going anywhere in radio I'm- do you hear that Eric? You weren't going anywhere in radio. I was working for Clear Channel down there for their talk network at the time.
Starting point is 01:11:43 No, no, your career was going nowhere Better meta. Well, we're not fucking I met him at a cracker barrel on the way to I think it was Fuck I don't even know where I was going. I was in Orlando. I think and I was going to Tampa Why is he saying any of these things? Why does cracker barrel matter? Why does Orlando or Tampa? Tampa are next to each other. West Palm Beach is south. He was going down that way for some reason. Had this super fan, his name was Eric.
Starting point is 01:12:15 And he was beyond cool to me, to be honest with you. Look, I give you the good, the bad, and the ugly. Eric was very cool towards me. And he was a super fan and he had some shows and some tapes so i was like yeah right on man and we met at a cracker barrel we hit it off this is already weird because opi's going he was going nowhere in radio but eric created this meeting set it up met with opi had things to show him to demonstrate his capabilities and hope you went. Yeah, this is good You're hired does that suck a guy who's not going anywhere in radio or a guy?
Starting point is 01:12:50 I showed him how to our career I show I was showing him how to get his stuff from any w at the time because he didn't have any of that It was all a presentation to sell myself It's like hey hire me to come when you guys come back you need me to do all of these things for you that's what it was Eric I got to cut you off right there because OB is gonna tell you you shouldn't be saying shit and then I gave him the chance of a lifetime he wasn't gonna be a big star doing radio his way I I I hired you so this you shouldn't be saying shit about me if you want slobber okay
Starting point is 01:13:30 That's so bizarre that a guy did you a favor once you're never allowed to say anything that he did like crack a barrel This is where I I didn't I didn't put this together until recently. Somebody made this parallel to me. I think they watch, look, I'll give credit, I think they were watching your show and you were making parallels between him and John. Somebody else was explaining to me and he goes, do you know how you told me this?
Starting point is 01:13:56 Yeah, Opie does this like John does. What he's doing right now, I hired you, I gave you the opportunity of a lifetime. Right, I worked for him for almost 20 years. I did went above and beyond for that show. Did everything took all the abuse, all of that shit. Thank that guy a million times over for that opportunity. I will never not thank him. Right. No, you've said this many, many times. Yes. But how, when do I have to keep, you know, saying, all, all right, thank you again for giving me that opportunity 20 years ago, 21 years ago.
Starting point is 01:14:30 You can't say shit. I made you who you are, the huge radio star that you are. The latter of it, because I think I've explained this on your show, the history of the virus, really what it was, we figured out that it was projecting on his part That's why that bit existed a lot of the targets were on me because I could take a lot of the shit from aunt and Jim Where he couldn't you know so I would come in there and they would trash me do whatever I would do that and then guess What I was there the next day the next day it kept going he came up with the slobber thing for Roland and somehow it
Starting point is 01:15:06 bounced off Roland to use a term and then Somehow was applied to me and then he made t-shirts and he made all this other shit that he was making money off of as A direct insult to me and you go. All right fuckhead, you know Pay you for those right none none, but it was Did he pay you for those the shirts right none none, but it was Ruiz it goes to Carl Ruiz's family It was nice that there were a couple of shirts that were sent to him that people were throwing them on the grill and burning Them because they didn't like him. So, you know, I kept posting those photos and that didn't go over well Okay, he also didn't like the fact that he had a shirt once that was called
Starting point is 01:15:40 he thought Shit humor was funny for a while and he kept coming up with this term called dropping hammers. And it was just a plunger sticking out of a toilet. It was like clip art, and it said dropping hammers, and he was selling these T-shirts for 30 bucks on his website, along with some photos that were, it was like Times Square through the windshield of his car covered in rain,
Starting point is 01:16:04 so you really couldn't see what it is and he was signing them and selling them. So I had made comments about, you know, this is kind of stupid what you're selling here and it all started falling apart from that point on. It's like he can dish it out, he can't take it and you know that show, the history of that show, you're in there fighting for your lives every day so you have to have a good
Starting point is 01:16:28 come back or else you're the center of the abuse by everybody including the guests the comics whoever in there for the next hour until we can get to 10 o'clock whatever it's gonna take to get us there he couldn't do that so I can't take shots at him and it's not like I'm insulting him and his family and But a real thing that happened and yeah Been an asshole to you wouldn't be telling the story about it No, and I and I told that story on Christie's but I also you know said these things I'm telling you are also on that episode where I said he gave me an amazing opportunity
Starting point is 01:17:02 I thank both him. I think I'll be falling for this. Always getting triggered. It works. The clip and play the clip. And I have to say, if there's an Opie drinking game, this has to be on the board for that. And be saying shit about me. If you want to know the truth, if you want to know the truth, he must say that twice or three times an episode a lot more these days Yeah a lot more these days and anyone who talks about the truth and for real and I'm not lying are liars to Be honest right?
Starting point is 01:17:35 Senator John does it all the time. I'm not gonna lie to you is another lie to you about this you want to know the truth Shouldn't think shit. Oh, and then he Calls us out. I see you. I see you on these low level live streams taking dumb shots at me. There's no way you don't explain to me someday what I did. Opi is interesting because he's been talking more and more about how he sees everything. And that's the thing that Anthony's been saying.
Starting point is 01:18:02 He's like, yeah, I watch all these shows. I want to know what's going on. So I watch the stuff and hope he never knows what's going on until it's convenient for him to know what's going on And then he talks about you know Low-level live streams. We're in this time now We're like there's a lot of these people out there who I know a lot of shows said this they're doing the work for me But yeah, they are they're clipping all these other people's shows. They're tagging everybody on this stuff. Look, when we were doing Compound, we would get stuff all the time of shows
Starting point is 01:18:30 or OP talking about Anthony or whatever, and it was up to Anthony whether he wanted to discuss it or not. So we had it, we knew about it, but if he didn't wanna talk about it, he didn't wanna talk about it. But at least you knew, and you had the evidence to go with it when you go to make your point
Starting point is 01:18:44 or your claim or whatever He would hide behind he doesn't he loves to not know that's always been the thing with him He loves to not know he doesn't want to know anything read anything what have you but in this day and age even if You don't want to be a part of this stuff as somebody talks about you get tagged You wake up in the morning and you look at your Twitter your Instagram Whatever you're tagged on to something of somebody talking about you, whether you wanted to be involved with it or not. So if he is seeing this stuff now, it's because all these people are making sure he sees it
Starting point is 01:19:14 because he says he doesn't look for it. So now they're purposely putting it in front of him to say, you have no excuse. Here's the stuff. You can look at it. Even though low level live streams like this show that he's referring to. I know. I see it on these low level live streams taking dumb shots at me There's no explain to me someday what I did to you get the f out of it. I know These people are fucking nuts
Starting point is 01:19:39 Iraq you reached out to open multiple times to try to have a Discussion keep a relationship or something. And he always blew you off. And he's just like, this fucking guy didn't reach out to me if I was so horrible. I was like, no, he didn't. I think I might have sent it to you a while ago. I'll have to see if I even still have it.
Starting point is 01:19:58 But somebody sent me a clip several months ago that he had said something about me that I had blocked him on social media and he had no idea why. Right. And I went, no, he blocked me on social media years ago. Like we were all blocked. Right. He did that. The last time if I've said this story, I apologize. But the last time was, was like 2018 or something. He had said something about going to do, to do his show or he wanted to go to New York Comic-Con and go and record audio and whatever. Somebody had wrote to him and said, Iraq does his show from New York Comic-Con every year. You guys should get together and what have you. That morning,
Starting point is 01:20:37 I woke up my producer at the time. Trevor said, uh, yeah, oops, um, losing his shit on you. Why? So Trevor gives me the thing and I look and oops, oops, losing his shit on you. Why? So Trevor gives me the thing and I look and oops, screaming that if I wanted to do something with him that I have his number, I should just text him, stop using Twitter and social media to get attention, right? So I text him, I go, what are you babbling about? Like what is going on here?
Starting point is 01:21:02 I said, somebody told me this, that somebody told you that I would be there. I I'll come on your show you could come on my show we could do both shows we don't have to do anybody's shows if you're gonna be there and you'd like to talk let's do it yep and he went on this whole tyrant that I was using him for attention on social media when that wasn't the case at all I never even mentioned to him to come on my show while we were doing there. This all came up.
Starting point is 01:21:28 That moment is when he blocked me. And I've been blocked ever since. So at one point I go, well, fuck him, I'll block him too. So if he ever unblocks me now, he can see that. And I guess that happened several months ago where he's like, I don't know why I'm blocked. It's like, you did. You know why you did it.
Starting point is 01:21:43 You did it to everybody else Well long story short, I'm excited to share with you here Iraq that Opie finally tells us his biggest mistake and I'm sure there's a lot of things swimming around in your head right now a lot of mistakes that Opie made which one will it be? When he talks about why he's in the predicament that he is now, okay I mean my my biggest mistake was being the goddamn boss. I never want to be a boss. So his mistake wasn't what he did as the boss, but just being the boss. It, what else could possibly happen? Of course, everyone's going to hate me.
Starting point is 01:22:18 I was the boss back then. That's like, that's what you think your mistake was. He was the boss in title only. You know, obviously, whatever was going to happen for the show with management, whatever, Opie usually handled that, right? Anthony wasn't really, he was kind of hands off. He's like, we have a staff, that's their job to handle this stuff, not mine. He comes in and out. Ope wanted the three different managers that we had at SiriusXM to be the guys that were
Starting point is 01:22:48 overseeing the staff, overseeing everything else that was going on with the channel, with the company, and then tell Ope what's been going on. And we've documented this many times. When management would show up towards the end of the show to talk to him, to give him updates about things that were going on, live events, contests, celebrity guests that were coming in, something with the company. He would find a way to get out like five minutes before the show was over and I'm playing a clip and then management show, where did they go?
Starting point is 01:23:16 Oh, they left 15 minutes ago. What? Yeah, they wanted me to play this so that they could go. He wouldn't sit there and talk with them. So he wanted to be the boss, but not wanted to be the boss. He was the boss, but he wasn't. It was a weird juxtaposition on that. We had to go to the corporate side to get everything done and then get the yes from him. Well, this is an excuse though. Okay. For the reason why things went down the way they
Starting point is 01:23:39 went down. And this is hilarious. I love what he says here because he can't help it. He knows what the truth is. And so it does sneak out from time to time. And man, I wasn't, I wasn't good at being a boss, you know, instead of like maybe sitting, sitting some of these guys down and going, man, you suck at this. Let's try to figure this out. I would scream at him. Yeah, that's true. I take responsibility for that. I didn't know how to be the boss. I never wanted to be the goddamn boss. No, he didn't. And people do that to him regularly trying to say, you suck at this. We're trying to help you. Let's talk this out. And you won't talk to anybody.
Starting point is 01:24:21 You didn't know the screaming at people. Isn't the right way to behave in the workplace? I love that they were just like, no one ever told me how to be a boss. So I just scream at people rather than have civilized conversations with them. Oh, okay. Well, that's everyone else's fault then, OP. Got it. No, we brought it up in times where he didn't want to come
Starting point is 01:24:39 into the office to talk to the staff. When he was doing the solo show, he would sit in the corner of a building, of the floor of the building there, away from the studios with a newspaper and his chair and wouldn't talk to anybody until the show started. And that was his way of, yeah, he didn't wanna be the boss, but when your name's on the show
Starting point is 01:24:58 and you're in charge of everything, you have to talk to the staff at least. And that's where it devolved to. Like I have that photo of him sitting there in the corner Reading a newspaper with his feet up on the air vent At the corner of serious except that's where he was every morning and people would walk by going to the other studios like why? Is this guy just sitting there reading the newspaper in the corner because he wouldn't talk to anybody. Oh, that's It's this or it's the full metal jacket
Starting point is 01:25:28 Drill sergeant waiting for their private pile employees to turn on them As you get you get all or nothing from OP right? so anyway, I appreciate you coming on here to address this because Eric it's so funny to watch him get triggered whether you bring up Jim's name or Sam's name or your name he just loses his mind every time it's great if he did any kind of homework for his show anything just a small amount to see that the only one who ever really says anything about him and that's only been because of lately is Anthony and when you watch Anthony stuff it's not viciously attacking it's it's my it's
Starting point is 01:26:09 the spirit of what we've all done it's mocking it's goofing Anthony's been giving legitimate advice in a humorous way he won't listen to Norton never acknowledges no be ever sit neither does Sam Sam's moved on and done other things even the stuff that I've said about him, none of it's attacking him. It's just talking about everything he did and why he doesn't listen to people and why that causes his own problems. And I'll be honest, Eric, you never bring it up. You get asked questions and you're reluctant, even our text conversation going back and forth to have you come out here. I don't know what this is and you're like, oh, come on. Come on this go and I go fine. I'll be there Wednesday. That's fine
Starting point is 01:26:48 I literally stopped asking that just gonna taste like all right. I'll come back So yeah, you guys you Jim Sam none of you guys are talking about Opie at all And I think that drives them even crazier than when Anthony actually addresses him. Cause he likes responding to that. He can't stand it that Sam never brings them up. Jim never brings them up. It drives him mental. Yeah. And, and, um, I don't know if he's even talked about Sam lately, but we all know what Sam's doing now. He's got the solo show with serious after Jim left. Um, I don't know how it still can be Sam's problem or Sam's, uh, the cause of Opie's downfall with the company that Sam's still there doing all this stuff. It's like, how is it Sam's? Oh, well,
Starting point is 01:27:35 cause Norton's not there anymore. Now it's a hundred percent Sam's fault. It doesn't change. History keeps changing. It's amazing how that works. Yeah. It doesn't work that way. And I've, I've said this too, and we'll end this. If he did reach out, I'd be like, we have to talk because you've been a lunatic and an asshole for the last several years. Yeah, he doesn't want to face that. No, I've gotten messages from people and I don't know if this is people stirring the ship but I've addressed it where he's like, he's pissed. He thinks you stole everything from him. It's like, I've given him, since 2009, I've given him tons of
Starting point is 01:28:12 opportunities on how to buy the rights to their library, how to get ownership of everything, how to even give him a hard drive of that stuff. He wouldn't take it. Then in the last couple of years now, he thinks that he's owed this because that was my job to archive a lot of this stuff. Right. And I've offered it to Jim, I've offered it to Anthony and they're like, you're good, you take care of it. If we need it, we'll ask you for it. And they always have. If they need photos, they need eclipsed, whatever, I gave them whatever. Now with him, he wants everything and I won't give it to him because you're not being a human being. Talk to people. If you want to talk, we'll talk this out and then we'll
Starting point is 01:28:47 work something there. But other than that, it will sit there in those airtight bins and those hard drives locked up before I throw them into a bonfire when I'm done dealing with all of this. It's not stopping you from putting out full episodes and long clips of Opie and Anthony on his channel. No, he just pulls him off of listener recording for YouTube. So you want everything, but you're doing it already. So what do you need me for? You don't. Well, Eric, is it true that you are somehow still employed by a radio group? Yes. That's amazing. Congratulations on that. Yeah. Nowhere to the extent we used to be, but yes have I still have ties with a company that people would see that on a resume or or If you showed up at a media event you went oh you work for them. Yes, that is the case
Starting point is 01:29:31 It's hanging up in the bathroom of a Cracker Barrel It's Eric Nagel. It's Eric Nagel calm Oh also if you could because I know you were nice enough to retweet this, on my Twitter, at it's Eric Nagel, all one word, I have a link there. I found out by accident the other day that the, it's bought and paid for that organization, but the Radio Hall of Fame opened it up to the public to nominate for people for the next ceremony's candidates, right? So I went, I filled out everything. I'm like, Oh my God, you can.
Starting point is 01:30:06 So the link is on my Twitter there. I said, I've been telling people go and write in, uh, Anthony, Opie and Jimmy, write them in there to get them nominated. Cause we can get enough. They have to respond to the things. Uh, so yeah, please go to Twitter, find the link. Uh, it's Eric Nagel on Twitter there, the link, fill it out and let's nominate and get Opie and Anthony and Jim Norton into the Radio Hall of Fame, that'd be awesome
Starting point is 01:30:31 All right, and then I love the responses. What about scorch? What about stuttering John? Look if you could get either one of them in there Even better, but it's gorgeous there. Yeah, it's gorgeous fascinating lately. All right, Eric. I appreciate you guys buddy. Thank you for letting me ruin your show. Yeah Thanks for responding to the opster. Okay with us later. Okay The great Eric Nagel everyone guys, did you know stuttering John John had his final broadcast. It's no longer the Stuttering John podcast. It's the John Melendez show. It's classy. It's different better than it ever has been and I have never done a final show for any of my podcasts that I can remember I think they're all still going the pea pod. Okay a pea pod. Yeah that one. I did that. It's good point
Starting point is 01:31:40 So I don't know what I would do for a final episode, but I know I'd bring a little bit more energy than this. Hey everybody. How are you? Well, it's my last show. Uh, it's about it. I have some guests on today Wow, that's the stuff What it run its bed, huh? Oh guys the last of ATP. I don't know what else to tell you guess we'll place a clip Is it this like his third farewell show at least yeah, I mean he so he makes up these weird rules Where he goes all right? I'm all done December 31st. And then he comes back on because he had the Kate Meany thing. I can't remember what that was.
Starting point is 01:32:30 It was such a nothing. Him and Rob Saul tried to play these record. What was it? Kate Meany was talking to someone. I don't remember. Anyway, there's some recordings and then John had to do his show because Rob Saul got too wasted and nodded off to his show. So John had to do his show because Rob Saul got too wasted. Not an after he'd show. So John had to do it.
Starting point is 01:32:46 But then whatever reason John announced, he's doing one more regular episode with a special guest on March 1st and he's doing two political shows. And then that's it. And so he did the Richard Roper one before the Academy Awards and they did a political show with Richard and Brian. And then he did this show show Richard couldn't make it but Brian was there and and Ava came on and He's like, all right, that's it
Starting point is 01:33:12 Finish strong. Yeah Like what was the point of any of this like why the political show was supposed to be so that Trump didn't get reelected That was why he started doing it mission accomplished No, no, I don't know what the point of it is at all. Although Anthony has his theories that we'll get into in just a minute. But first let's count the lies.
Starting point is 01:33:34 All right, everyone count to themselves the lies in this. Had a wonderful day yesterday. I took the boat out for a little while, cruising, then took the motorcycles out to Boquilla and looked at the clear blue beautiful water and then I met a female friend of mine if you will will. And we had a nice time. And it was the perfect day, actually. It was the perfect day. And, uh.
Starting point is 01:34:10 Opie was saying the lip smacking might be a lie-tale. Yeah. Because it's just like, and then I, it's like he's making up in real time. And then I met up with a female friend, if you will. What? And this is all why I had to do this show today. I had a perfect day. He was out on the boat. We know he doesn't own a boat
Starting point is 01:34:27 He came out and said he doesn't own a boat. We know that then he said he drove multiple motorcycles They he took he rolled around in a boat just to come back get his motorcycle to drive back to the water and look at it He's already looking beautiful. You're already looking at the water. You're out of the boat. I get to see this water from the other direction. Then he spent time with a lady friend doing what? What do you mean? A so-called lady friend.
Starting point is 01:34:55 I'm guessing she's the bartender. Stevie Tomatoes. If you want to know the truth. Yeah, right. It's one of those kind of things. So I don't believe any of that. Then John's talking about the movies that were up for best picture, the Academy Awards. And I saw seven of the 10 nominated films because I am a film dude.
Starting point is 01:35:17 And I enjoyed just about every one. Remember, there's one takeaway about C centering John. He is a film dude You can't forget that he went to school for film. He thinks Citizen Kane sucks But he liked all the movies that were nominated jacked off to Amelia Perez Yes, for sure This is a fun clip I put together because you know he's got that scroll going on the bottom that says I will not be reading any super chats related to the dabble verse. Well he didn't put it there. Management put it there. Correct. Yeah so. He's got a big team over there at the John Melendez show. So a super chat comes up from Tony and John goes pfft. I'm not reading that shit. Or is he?
Starting point is 01:36:05 Again, I'm not reading any, any dabble verse related super chat Tony. So I'm not going to put that up, but that's bullshit. A few moments later. Alrighty. Thank you, Clay. You've been another loyal friend of mine, and I appreciate it. Tony Everetti? Oh yeah, that's bullshit. He's just called a deflection.
Starting point is 01:36:36 That's just a distraction, a deflection. He totally forgot that's the exact super chat. He said he wasn't gonna read, and then he popped it up on the screen, and it's about him knowing about ESO because John claims that he has a mole inside uncle Rico shell the Shulie Network and People are speculating that it was ESO That was the mole and so John knew about the arrest before anyone else knew about the arrest. And he was the one keeping it under wraps. And he didn't want that super chat coming up on the screen,
Starting point is 01:37:11 but he's an idiot. Yeah. Yeah. And he couldn't stop himself from putting it up there. And actually this, uh, drop right here, my man, I might want to make a note of this one. This one can be used quite often. I don't know what's real and what's not real. Correct That is the problem for sure so that excuses me from everything Exactly So John starts off this episode. He's waiting for a verizon there and
Starting point is 01:37:43 He is Doesn't know what to do is his final show is, doesn't know what to do. It's his final show, he doesn't know what to talk about. So he goes through his Twitter DMs and starts reading every name of people that he DM'd to be on the show. That's his list of past guests. And this goes on for quite some time. And finally, John, 22 minutes in, decides, oh decides where's my phone okay that's about I can't keep doing it and all right let me just get my phone and then we'll get the
Starting point is 01:38:13 show on the road all right so I spent this on my phone this is 6x speed this is how long he's gone for looking for his phone Nothing else going on Alrighty so now let me bring on So here we go. I thought it was the John Melendez show, not the stuttering John. I guess a little throwback for all the OGs who are watching the show. That's not the only thing that goes wrong on this episode. Also Brian Karam, his guest, comes on and doesn't know that he's on the show. So here is the great Brian Karen a Brian Brian
Starting point is 01:39:11 Brian Brian yell louder John's going well yell more Brian he'll hear you eventually yell more Eventually yell more Brian Just question wait He's definitely looking at you John waves waves for you idiot Brian Fuck is he doing? Brian he can't hear me Mom mom
Starting point is 01:39:42 Mom, I just love the fact that John thinks if he's jumping up and down and waving his arms Then Brian's gonna see him. It's just like no he's obviously not looking at that screen. He wouldn't know he oh John Yeah, I see it John what's up, man? What do anyone What the fuck? so John is very good with tuck problems as you know, and he's gonna help Brian through this. All right, do you hear me now?
Starting point is 01:40:14 I can't hear you. Can't hear you. I can't hear you Brian Can't hear Hey you guys sort out It's your show sort it out Turn the ACI just gets up and leaves He's always got shit to do it's one episode the last episode ever you wouldn't want in any other way though, right?
Starting point is 01:40:50 This is great. Perfect ending. I love it. So he comes back and he's gonna help Brian fix this all up Right, you hear me I Can't hear you go back out and come back in Can you go out and come back in? Hey, I'm sorry. I'm running late to my last show. So I will get to it. I'm sorry.
Starting point is 01:41:17 But if you want to come back after I just want to talk to Brian and then I'll bring you back. Okay. A few moments later, Brian, my man. So can't hear you. What the fuck? You chose to mute yourself. You got to unmute yourself. Brian. John, they can't hear you. Yeah. Louder. Say recall Brian. Karen. This is wonderful. Oh,. This has to be the best last show ever.
Starting point is 01:41:48 It's up there. It's certainly up there. It's better than the Seinfeld. Oh, there'll be better last shows. It's hilarious to me. So whatever Brian is talking into is not engaged in the software or on his computer and John's solution is I'll just leave and come back and maybe it'll fix itself. Why? Why would that fix anything? That's his tech solution. And of course that didn't work so then Brian Karam talks a bunch of nonsense and He has his trans woman guest Ava who's been on the show before.
Starting point is 01:42:25 And John does this as a show. What an amazing liberal he is to be speaking with someone from the LGBTQ community. And of course he immediately needs to get Ava on his side and how horrible people have been to him. Like I just had people showing up at my door. I meant to send you the anti-trans stuff that someone posted on my door. I'm not going to mention the name, baby fat. So anyway, it was an anti-trans.
Starting point is 01:42:53 And what it I don't know, I'm sure you experienced this on a daily basis, but I do as well. The anti-trans stuff I get is just disturbing and pathetic and hateful and usually from anonymous people and people who post it on my door and run away like the child that they are. What he's referring to, of course, is Chad Zumach leaving a note talking about the fact that John's son has a pussy which is true I don't know if you can call that anti-trans. I think it's just a factual statement That when John called everyone a pussy boy. Yeah, he's actually referring to his oldest
Starting point is 01:43:38 Anything it's pro pussy it writes if anything. I love that John's just like yeah, you get anti-trans stuff, I mean I get it in spades You can't even believe she's like, yeah, but that Yeah, okay. I guess you're a victim. So it's to find other ways to be a victim. I never heard of this one before I'm Puerto Rican. We've gotten plenty of hate Oh, I was called spick plenty of times in high school, you know, and, and I was called wet back, although they didn't understand that was a different term for a different group of people. But I mean, what group of people,
Starting point is 01:44:19 you know, those gross wet packs and everywhere, you know, so John is just always a victim and he only has someone on That he can like be like by the way, I don't know. I'm sure you've had a tough but I was called spic What before we get into your place? This is a man who's almost 60 talking about how he was called spic in high school Who gives a shit? I'm sure that was his friends cuz no one sees him as a Puerto Rican guy I think he's mispronouncing skip right we know you were called names cuz of your stutter idiot it was also dyslexic in high school people used to say that I lived in the basement of Taco Bell and I
Starting point is 01:45:02 said I'm Puerto Rican not not Mexican, you dumb fuck. No, I think they meant you smell like a fart. That's actually a pretty funny joke. Okay. Well, that makes sense that I realize no one thinks Taco Bell is Mexican or has a basement. Right? None of that makes any sense. Okay. So Abba is answering a question that John asked about being misgendered. And of course, John has to interrupt Ava to talk about this racist chat that just came in. I don't care if they misgender me and it'll come in time by being around me. And I think that there's this organic thing that happens because it takes time for people to get used to that. Ava, I mean Ava, racist alert, racist alert.
Starting point is 01:45:51 Tsunami Webster, Denmark are happy because all white, no illegals. Oh, there you go. I'm Pakistani and the second most, 13% of people from Denmark are Pakistani as well, which was kind of trippy for me, but I'm sorry about Your first of all, they're not all white in Denmark So John was saying earlier how Denmark is like the the happiest people So he has to cut off Aba to read the yaks because they're all white. They're not 13% are not Pakistani It's also not true. But okay, whatever so I'm glad that John cut her off in order to percent are not Pakistani. It's also not true, but okay, whatever. So I'm glad that John cut her off in order to, uh,
Starting point is 01:46:30 to say that. And this clip is perfect cause John's trying to say somebody can say, which is probably a bad idea for a mush brain, wet brain stutterer to do. What's the saying? Poe, nobody's, uh's? Uh po nobody's nerfect Yeah, oh po nobody's nerfect. What's this saying? It's not that neither of those things Po nobody what's that thing that people say with it when they're saying stuff frog. I mean that is wrong I'll give you that that's why ancils have paracers Po pencils That is wrong. I'll give you that. That's why pencils have pa-racers. Po-pencils. All right. We have to address what John tried to do to Anthony Kumia.
Starting point is 01:47:16 Anthony brought this up on his show. So John was, he's angry at that. So of course he's got a shit on me and what I'm doing and take to social media and, and, um, and try to get me thrown off by, by putting the names and links and contacts to my bosses and my company and telling what an awful person I am. Yeah. John did this. John did that. What a piece of shit. He'll never learn. He's still trying
Starting point is 01:47:51 to get other grown adults in trouble and get their jobs taken away from them. If he'd been successful at this, if he had gotten Anthony fired, what would that have done for John? Would his podcast suddenly take off or he would get hired by wabc To do a show on their political show What is he thinking with this shit? I often think of the bucket of crabs, but there's another analogy and that's like being in a lifeboat with john He would sink it. Yes
Starting point is 01:48:19 he's like You guys might survive, but you know what? I got cirrhosis. So fuck all of us Yeah, it's like haha now your career is as good as mine Yeah, is it I go in nowhere Anthony's taking this in stride, but I'd be livid I mean I was pretty upset with Chad trying to take down my patreon people remember my reaction to that I wasn't thrilled about it Anthony obviously knows that Jaws not gonna get him fired. Thank God my bosses don't give a flying fuck,
Starting point is 01:48:48 especially for the likes of stuttering John Melendez's opinion on my show. So he's just, what a fucking asshole to do that, to really try to get me fired. You know, we've called him asshole, we've talked about his dabbling in stand-up comedy and his lack of ability to write anything funny. His digital panhandling where he'll go on
Starting point is 01:49:21 and all he cares about is super chats. And then when he doesn't get something and someone else does, his initial response is, well, let me try to fuck him over out of his job, which he did. So I'm sure John can justify this somehow as mental gymnastics in his mind, but isn't that like John's biggest thing is like, don't get people's gigs canceled. Isn't that what he has had meltdown after meltdown about with his whole standup
Starting point is 01:49:52 career coming to an end because people are getting his gigs canceled and they did it to me. So it's all right if I do it to them. Anthony never got John's gigs canceled. I've never gotten John's gigs canceled. We preach just the opposite as Anthony does here. Do we try to get his gigs canceled? Of course not. Why would we want to ruin future material for us and Uncle Rico and Who Are These podcasts?
Starting point is 01:50:20 Why would we want to say, hey, let's get his gig canceled? We want that gig to happen correct. We want to be able to listen to how unbelievably untalented this piece of shit is going up on a stand-up comedy stage and Doing jokes that are literally 30 years old Correct March 28 29th in Niles, Ohio We're actually having a lot of fun with that and so John is just a
Starting point is 01:50:53 Literal piece of garbage. He's a garbage human Trying to get trying to call Anthony's boss's dad Do you know your son do your son just hired to work for him? It's It's so shameful you should be embarrassed Speaking of jerks look at who's here Cardiff electric, what's up Cardiff knew it. How's it going buddy? You didn't fool me this time hamburger Don't try to fool you
Starting point is 01:51:24 Hello Chris. Hello, Joe. Hello Chris, hello Joe, hello. You are here just in time my friend. You know it's no different than a police officer running to the scene of a crime or a firefighter running into a burning building. It's what I do. Have you been following Tom Meyer's new Monday, Wednesday, Friday streams that he's doing? Fantastic. Oh, it's great stuff. It's great stuff. I love it. He's doing this thing now where he's making a lot of mouth noises. I don't know why all these assholes want to do this to us,
Starting point is 01:52:01 but listen to this. Oh, yeah, Jay Cutson's been promoting the hell out of my stream this morning. I don't know why. Don't really have that much planned. I sent a link to someone. But if they don't really have that much planned I set a link to someone but if they don't come on it's no biggie spoiler they don't come on Jake Hudson's promoting this show for some reason well a Jake Hudson's retarded but B it's like he doesn't know that you have nothing planned has something planned that it's a cheese I don't know why he's promoting this thing. I'm gonna do anything
Starting point is 01:52:46 Well, you know live on the internet idiot. No jokes on Jake Send a link to Jake he'll come on. What was with all of that lip smacking? God, it sounded like I was in his mouth when he was drinking his tea just now It's probably two episodes away. You just made it grosser. Yeah, so gross people stop doing that mouth noises are not attractive He's gonna start mukbang in any second That might actually be a good move for for him. Yeah, what can we send them to the costume to? The costume he's gonna wear mukbang clown
Starting point is 01:53:26 That's his new character yes address up as Trisha Paytas You know a lot of clowns have to put on that wig that makes it look like they're bald on the top of the hair Not Tom halfway there. He's got that taken care of He really could be like stuttering John's character in one too many of. He really could be like Stuttering John's character in One Too Many. Just being a clown at birthday parties. I could see that for him in the future. Well, remember guys, his show was all about monetization. If you haven't already, go ahead and tell other people to subscribe. I'm trying to get my watch hours up so I can go ahead and get my monetization. I'm trying to get my watch hours up so I can go ahead and get my monetization.
Starting point is 01:54:10 In the meantime, feel free to go ahead and support the show. There's my Venmo handle. There's my PayPal info. I've got my little scroll here for everybody who's contributed or some of my bigger contributors minus all the ones who want to remain anonymous. I'm probably going to do this on my laptop. So this is hilarious. He goes, I got the scroll. All people contributed to the show minus all those people who wanted to be anonymous, of course. So the contributors are mint diggity. And then from now on, even though the sounds not great, port film co-op, the same two contributors I saw two weeks ago when I checked it out this dream No one else has contributed to him, and he's still writing this is a very much a Chad Zumaq mood back Oh, here's all my hundred dollar contributors, and then we find out they haven't paid him in years Yeah, but let me guess he does stand up at the port film co-op once a week right it probably has some kind of connection there
Starting point is 01:55:04 All my best supporters are anonymous so Yeah So he's trying to get monetized but his channel's not monetized So he has to give out his paypal and his venmo and try to encourage people this goes out and on This is throughout the show patrick michael model of getting watch because there's literally 11 people watching Yeah, i tune in this morning. I was one of the 11 people watching the show Just turn on the camera really writing. He's running Chad script. Yes, like this is exactly Chad Zumock script He's up to 85 views after 11 hours on this thing. It's like dude. Don't don't worry about monetization yet
Starting point is 01:55:38 You need to have an audience first before you start making money, but you're right. He watches Chad He knows Chad stuff and so so now we're going to watch a man calculate his watch hours in real time. Cause this is really riveting stuff for the audience. They don't want to know all about your watch hours on YouTube for a while. So let me see if I can. So the number of watch hours that I need is so the number of watch hours that I need is three thousand in order to get monetization to do super chats and and the like so carry the one yeah if let's see good stuff down can you do the accounting on your time next time?
Starting point is 01:56:30 So if I take how many hours I have now, or how many hours I had before I started streaming, and I go ahead and I get the rate I'm going, and this is if I pick up no momentum at all. That's why the rate I'm going. Yeah, I'm hoping I can get my monetization. I'd love to have it by the end of the year. If I don't get it by the end of the year, then maybe streaming's not it's suicide again. By the end of the year, it's March. I was going to say by the end of this month or next month or something.
Starting point is 01:57:06 I'm gonna give this nine more months. Because I aim high. I'm Tom Myers. By this time in 2026, I'll be making $18 an hour. Right! This is... He's saying by the end of the year, he's hoping he can get to a place where someone can give him $2. In your face, podcast Karen. And he can read that. Hey, I'm monetized and people aren't giving me money congratulations So he needs 3,000 watch hours just to put this in perspective
Starting point is 01:57:31 I went and looked at our channel when I was watching this I'm like how many watch hours do we guess in the last 28 days? We've had 210,000 watch hours And this guy can't get to 3000 by the end of the fucking year. It's cuz you're putting on terrible content It's cuz you're not gonna meet me cuz I don't have watch hours settle down over there Carl They'll have shitty shows over here And you must have more watch hours this guy slowed out So Tom's very proud of himself for super chatting steel toe on Monday He gave still toe five bucks and still to Reddit. Oh boy. Watch out.
Starting point is 01:58:11 Yeah. But like I said, Monday, if you were here, we had a little bit of fun on Monday. We enjoyed ourselves. I decided to make a little bit of waves. I decided to make a little bit of waves What five bucks Very well spent and I'll make that back next year when I'm monetized That's how YouTube works In case you missed it here we go I decided to send
Starting point is 01:58:46 The super chat to steel steel toe just to troll them. Well, this thing's awesome. So Tom is a troll now. Watch out all you streamers. Tom might show up and give you five bucks and wait till you hear what he wrote. I was going to say, what is the chair in hall? Here's $5. It's going to be, this is going to be rough and he's going to analyze it for us. We have great times. Thank you for the five bucks, buddy. Appreciate it. Did the $5 from Tom Myers. Oh, is this that guy who has like five viewers and is trying to grift off still? So, so can you pause? I'm sorry, Carl, but he's literally doing Chad's move. Yes. He's all proud of him. So he's like, Hey, he's all proud of himself. He's like, I talking about me right now can you believe that and This is a little bit ironic because Aaron's talking about someone grifting
Starting point is 01:59:32 But I'll give Aaron this all right, and I can't believe times forcing me to say nice things about Aaron ammo right now But he is Aaron does prep a show you heard the clip where he goes out He goes I sent someone a link, but I don't know if they're going to show up and I don't really have anything prepared for this. Anyway, here's my Venmo. Here's my PayPal turning my watch hours up. And it's like, you can't make money off of five people watching you. And I think that's the point that Aaron is making here, but look at how proud himself Tom is. God damn, I'm the man. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm trying to grift. I'm trying to grift. I'm trying to grift.
Starting point is 02:00:06 You're trying to grift, Aaron. That is all we are trying to do. Think we stream because we enjoy this? No, it's work. I enjoy this. It's work. We all wanna make a little money doing this. I love how Aaron accuses me of grifting
Starting point is 02:00:22 when he does like a whole, his entire stream is just a big a thon. I Mean don't get me wrong like I Also bag I mean I yeah, I was getting them wrong for a second there Yeah, don't get me wrong. I've been talking nothing about my monitor I've been doing calculations for watch hours for the first half of my show. But isn't Aaron an idiot? Like wait, what? What are you making fun of Aaron for and asking for money? The fuck? You know, I'm just kind of starting out streaming and try to find my way.
Starting point is 02:00:57 So, uh, but yeah, it's weird Aaron accusing me of doing the grift. It says, Aaron, do you know that the eyes and face are two different things? Right? Did Nick's man juice affect your already fucked up brain? So that was his big troll. Oh, you know that eyes and face are two different things. Did Nick's man juice something about his already fucked up brain?
Starting point is 02:01:24 We'll put that again. nix man juice something about his already fucked up brain let me put that again it's did nix man juice affect your already fucked up brain so that was his big gotcha he's out proud of it he's playing it on a show on Wednesday to show you hey look what I did I got over on steel towel does that mean I have no idea still too many words for a joke. No idea. And I speak Tom. Yeah, right? Yeah, I have no idea.
Starting point is 02:01:49 Do well, he's going to break this down in only the way that Tom can analyze something like this. Tom, I'm going to tell you now. You want to let's watch the moment where he's been triggered again. Manjuice effect. You're already fucked up brain. Oh, see notice that little something switched inside his head and said, Oh,
Starting point is 02:02:11 fuck, I'm being trolled. Yeah. Notice how something happened inside his head. Carl. Yeah. Tom has watched other people do this. He probably watches Chad do it, who watches Melton do it. And he thinks like, Oh, what you do is you say that something's happening and then you freeze frame it and zoom in on his face like yeah But Aaron makes faces all the time we we show them on this little piggy this time. He's not this time. Nothing's happened He's not being triggered He's not surprised by Tom putting in a shitty comment
Starting point is 02:02:41 It's the face of somebody wondering what the fuck does that mean yeah? Yeah, he's just like okay Tom Myers gonna try to cloud me good luck with that Tommy. It does pause it This is going. Oh my gosh. Can you see that right there? She's getting triggered is a and is uh I don't know if it's you know his past coming back to haunt him, but now all that little All the steel-toed lore catching up to them brilliant analysis also mornings are not for Tom No wake up before you do no energy was they do a show before? As I think people don't know that I don't pay attention to this shit
Starting point is 02:03:19 But you know I do keep tabs on stuff more than people think I do. What the fuck? I just don't say anything smart. What did that mean? I got to play that again. What does this mean? Let's listen to this closely. That's the thing. People don't know that I don't pay attention to this shit. People don't know that I don't pay attention to this shit. Please go on. But you know, I do keep tabs on stuff more than people think I do. What? Well, you fooled us again.
Starting point is 02:03:51 Tom needs a cup of coffee transplant. Right. I don't know what I'm talking about, but I pay attention more. He's so happy about this. He goes, oh, let's pull up Steeltoe. And he read my super chat from Monday and he's gotten nothing. Yeah. And you're out five bucks. Yeah. It's like, you created this and you've got nothing. Uh, here's another Tommy comeback and only the way that Tom can have a comeback. So yeah, you're good. And I'll be honest, you're a little bit of a creep. Oh, look who's fucking talking
Starting point is 02:04:26 Look who is talking Look who's talking just look who's talking three I'm rubber Literally look who's talking he said it three times in a row and again if you want to get good at this stop watching Chad Chad is terrible at this. He doesn't even try to be funny, much like Tom. It's my initial impression. That's all. I've never seen any of your work. I'm just saying you and I have never interacted before. Oh,
Starting point is 02:04:57 we're going to interact. We are going to interact. Just wait, wait for it. We've only just begun. Tom smelling that blood in the water. He's like, Oh, I know what I'm going to do. I'm going to start clowning steel toe. That's how I'm going to get the watch hours up, which is not a hard thing to do, clowning steel toe, but that makes it look impossible. Which is not a hard thing to do, clouding CLT, but that makes it look impossible. He makes everything look impossible. It really does. He's so bad at this. You ready for a hilarious joke here?
Starting point is 02:05:31 Yeah. Damn, man. It's like I don't even usually you have to seek people out to like own their time and own their attention. All I got to do is show up, hit go live, do my show. Come to you and they come to. Why do they come to me to die? Don't say come to me. Don't say come to you. Why is that, Tom? Let's find out. Aaron, play on words. There's so many jokes that can be made here.
Starting point is 02:06:04 But I can't make what I have a free account and stream yard limits the amount of hours that I can That I can stream. I was due to so we'll just bypass that for now One or two examples of jokes that you come up with for that. I hate that. Oh my gosh, so many jokes It's too many. I just roasted you in my mind. Yeah, you'd run out of time on the free plan Yes Too much too much hilarity tell one Tom you're killing time. Anyway, it's all this is he goes over and snipes Tom Collins for a while and Just watches his show doesn't have anything. He's like, I guess they're just talking about current events
Starting point is 02:06:43 Whenever those are he has no idea what he's doing. Question about me comes up. No, I would not consider covering W.A.T.P. because they do not want me on their show. So. They don't want me on their show. Actually, I can. You're on our show now. Speaking of here you are kind of weird.
Starting point is 02:07:09 Speaking of wine, Mike, I think Aaron wants you on his show. He does tie into this a little bit. Line Mike tried to get me to go on the W ATP as you can see, if, if you go back and watch that interview, um, yeah. Are you watching it right now? Probably come on down. You can do it. We'll go to this video right here. Well. And of course,
Starting point is 02:07:49 well, podcast Karen was a little peeved that Mike and I got along. Oh, was I that Mike and I got along? Well, you don't remember. No, let's see. Yeah. Those were dark days around the office. Those are dark days. WCP headquarters. I'm screaming at everyone like Opie. That's another thing we should we should bring up is that for some reason, my booking agent, Mike Geary, was like, would you go on? Who are these podcasts? He's not invited to come on. Who are these podcasts? I was upset.
Starting point is 02:08:14 Now I'm seeing it. I didn't realize how fired up I actually was, but good call, Tom. Tom almost was on here ruining this show. So, Tom, because he's not allowed on WTP, I've never invited them, he explains. That's why I've been kicked out of his chat. Oh, like he doesn't want me on his show. So, yeah, that's why I kicked them from my chat as well. If you want to go ahead and troll and do all that nonsense, then
Starting point is 02:08:49 he is lame. I agree. He is lame. Yeah, the guy is lame. He's not even on my chat because I've not done a lot of this show. I think it's actually just because when you see me in there, it freaks you out and you get flustered. You do even worse than you're doing now. Tom does not know what grift means. These people, they're all fucking using this word incorrectly. Already sounds like she's getting a second felony charge. Let's take a last year where an anti-gun democratic lawmaker broke into her stepmother's house attempted to steal some stuff got caught Gryff Gryff Gryff
Starting point is 02:09:28 She had gone there at 4 a.m. Broken into the house and hid in the basement while dressed in solid black because she was concerned about her stepmother's dementia There was oh well that makes sense Yeah, I mean I always dress in robber clothes and break it Yeah. I mean, I always dress in robber clothes and breaking. All right. So he's literally watching steel toe in the part that no one watches steel toe where Aaron's actually watching and reacting to a video and analyzing it and breaking it down or whatever and times going grift, grift, grift, grift,
Starting point is 02:09:58 grift, grift. He's not begging for money at this portion. You pick the wrong part and he's got nothing to say. He just goes sorry and just turns it off but this guys this clip right here is my favorite clip we learned something about uh tom's hairline that i did not know previously i don't know i like to see my hairline my hairline's probably a little better what you can't see is because my hair is so light. I actually have some, it's not quite as thick as I'd like to have it up here, but so. So guys, it's not that his hairline is atrocious, that our vision isn't good enough to see that
Starting point is 02:10:40 it's actually right where it's supposed to be. What's a monetize? Did I get a 4k camera? You're gonna see all the hair up here. What's a right? He's touching his bald head ago. Yeah, it's really airy right here. I Assure you there's hair that's insane. Yeah, that's funny Tom is one of these delusional retards that we like to poke fun at on the internet and My boy card if puts together games

B. West Virginia governor and coal mine owner Jim Justice has fucked more miners than Jerry Sandusky. Next. More Republicans are willing to forgive Trump for rape than student loans.

One two three well stuttering not stuttering John Howard Stern had on triumphs and That drives John crazy. Yeah triumph was on the Stern show They did a behind-the-scenes thing my buddy Jay sent it to me Where he went around and talked to all the it was interesting to see like where sale and Richard work and all the different characters Like in their little cubicles. He was going around. He had them on for two big segments. One was triumph and one with Robert Smigel.
Starting point is 02:23:12 It was unbelievable. And of course they never even mentioned stuttering John. He hates it when a triumph is on and his other nemesis. If he comes on, John goes crazy too. That's the ollie gee Anyway, I heard John got so crazy that he almost took a couple swings of people at the Stevie tomato No hard to believe but He hates that kind of shit anyway He hates that kind of shit. Anyway, keep on rocking. Rocking.

Thank you, Judy. He's a locked cook. I appreciate that, Judy. Boner Guy. I do have a feeling it's a physical place.
Starting point is 02:24:22 Yeah, it seems that way under the stairs Bona guy does not like Opie Go bills Carl what the fuck man? Why is Opie and his despicable crew screaming about everything and then fucking Kevin Brennan before that as well? Jesus Christ, man. Oh Hate these guys. Great minds do think alike though. You introduced the OP segment on the weekend show by saying, you know, we need to wish
Starting point is 02:24:56 to offer constructive feedback. And with that in mind, I'd like to share a couple of my more recent OP comments where, you know, we're trying to help the guy out. The first one I had was, why don't you leash yourself to a bridge railing, then jump off? I would say, you know, that would be great.
Starting point is 02:25:15 I'd love to see that. And the other one was, you know, I can't even remember. He just fucking stinks, man. I hate him so bad. Jesus. What's going on? And the rest. Vote Carl at thecreepoff.com. Right, write these things down. Can't even remember you just fucking stinks, man. I hate him so bad Write these things down.

Patrick That deserves a vote get over there Check out the creep off I Remembered what the other one was following that fucking prick who got shot and unfortunately didn't die I am suggested that open might like to start just harassing random delivery drivers for his live stream Your fingers crossed with that one And then just a bit of a palate cleanser Seeing as the Derek Chauvin joke a joke from Doug mean Doug was so popular
Starting point is 02:26:11 I thought I'd like to share with you mean Doug's take on abortion Which is that he's okay as long as none of it gets on his face Thank you for sharing that voter guy We got to get mean Doug back on the show again. I was chatting with him the other day. He's a busy guy. Busy, busy guy. Guys, I might have broken the internet with my pineapple on pizza talk. I'm getting a lot of that's it's flour versus corn tortillas.
Starting point is 02:26:42 Shh, if I had more controversy get brought up around this. Are all totally have to agree with you. I like pineapple and bacon on pizza too. I do not get ham, ham, pineapple bacon. My wife's Canadian, but that doesn't really influence it too much. anyway when you're in Detroit next time go to Colmos in Ferndale Get their pineapple and bacon and also I've told my wife about the cup check too, and I thought maybe it's because she was a chicken in Canada But totally did it too
Starting point is 02:27:20 Knocked on the cup. I can't remember if I did it or coached it, but See the cup check is a real thing Kurt. We were gonna cup check when you were growing hours get give all of it Como's pizza is the place that we do eat pizza When it gets delivered on time when it does it I don't eat any pizza get none. Yes I'm sure everyone enjoyed that degree And I hate to agree with you Carl But the best the best pizza I've ever had had pineapple on really what else was on it and blue cheese No, it was
Starting point is 02:27:55 It was fantastic All right, I love blue cheese my argument with pineapple is you got to cut it small enough like a big chunk of pineapple No, thanks if it's little tiny pea. I mean Tomato sauce is just a sweet fruit as well. It's not that far of a departure That's true to have pine. I want to sugar in there nerd Are we ripping off the MD foodie boys? Yes. I see how popular they are. I want to be on Tim Dillon show OC foodie men I would have gotten Tim Dillon show. Our OC foodie men coming at you.
Starting point is 02:28:24 Alright, so we have started up this rivalry. I don't condone it, but the Wednesday listeners versus the Saturday listeners. Hey Carl, of course I'm a Wednesday listener. I don't have a job and I have nothing better to do in the afternoon on a Wednesday. Of course I'm a Wednesday listener. I love TV's Adam Bush, but I spell his name wrong and find the other Adam Bush on Google. Because I'm an idiot Wednesday listener. I'll call back into a Saturday one. Okay, sounds good. So that's the style of the Costco guys. He is
Starting point is 02:29:04 a Wednesday listener. But let's find out what a Saturday listener sounds like. Hey, Carl, it's me, a different guy calling in. Of course I'm a Saturday listener. I have a job on the weekdays and I can't work. I can't listen on the weekdays. Of course I'm a Saturday listener. Adam who? All right. you don't have to play me a game.
Starting point is 02:29:29 I didn't have to. That's true. That is very true, sir. Saturday listeners sound gross. Hey Carl, it's Generic Tag. Just calling to let you know that I've been reading Adam Bush's Wikipedia. I saw he was in a show called Men at Work. Well, you know who should be men at work? It's your fucking Wednesday listeners, man. Us Saturday listeners, we got jobs we got to go to, so we listen on Saturday. Fuck the Wednesday listeners. The Wednesday show does start at 530 p.m. on the East Coast. I just want to remind everyone here you could be employed and enjoy where Who are these podcasts on a Wednesday? I'm at the pub.
Starting point is 02:30:07 I know this. Throw it out there. I don't know if this stirs it up more or whatever, but longtime fans might remember Saturday was the original day of the show and then it had to expand on to Wednesday as like a sort of bonus. So right.
Starting point is 02:30:21 Take. And Annie is not here on Saturdays So fuck it. That's why that's why I'm a saint listen on Wednesday quit your shitty job get a better job We can listen KB came out with a good one lady boy Carl, and then he said Gino wore a brolly other night and You're calling him a grifter. KB, Geno is the worst. I know your friends and everything.
Starting point is 02:30:50 Cover this guy. It's the worst thing I've ever seen broadcast. He sucks. And so does what's her face. I did hear about Geno putting on a bra for money or something. I got to check into that. That's not great Our buddy Paul calls him again about this controversy
Starting point is 02:31:17 This is for w ATS, I just want to say pineapple on pizza sucks, but With double bacon banana peppers and ham well done You can add pineapple on that and it's fucking delicious. By the way, Carl you do sound gay on the Hotline boy, smell things. Don't go fuck yourself. Why was it for w8s? Are we talking about pineapple on w8s?
