Who Are These Podcasts? - Ep639 - StutJo on Stephanie Miller, Hero Opie, Golden Hour, KarmicX, Steel Toe

Episode Date: July 17, 2025

We’ve uncovered the Stephanie Miller vault - all of the happy hour episodes featuring Stuttering John. We’re starting with John’s first appearance on the show, before he worked there. John uses the guest stop as an opportunity to interview for a job.  Adam Busch found a hilarious NY Post article about Stuttering John’s embarrassing first week on the Tonight Show. We check in on the Golden Hour where these lunatics are defending Diddy and complaining about the victims of the MeToo movement. Aaron at Steel Toe is begging for the goal again, regretting trying to put on a golf tournament, and pretending that Mike David at Redbar likes him and his show. KarmicX is on Stuttering John’s side vs. Shuli and me. Opie had a super heroic day at the beach and doesn’t realize that he almost got his neighbor killed! Cardiff, Megan, and Annie join us to play another round of 2 Minutes with Tom and the brand new game “Is It Gay?” We finish up with recent reviews and comments as well as your voicemails.  Tickets on sale for WATP with Anthony Cumia at The Villa Roma Resort in Callicoon, New York on September 5th – ⁠http://watplive.com/ ⁠ Tickets on sale for the Magic Bag on September 12th – ⁠https://www.themagicbag.com/concerts-magicbag/who-are-these-podcasts-hide-september-15-2023-hide⁠ Support us, get bonus episodes, and watch live every Saturday and Wednesday: ⁠http://bit.ly/watp-patreon⁠ ⁠https://watp.supercast.tech/⁠ Cardiff’s channel – https://youtube.com/@cardiffelect Annie’s website – https://www.insanneity.com/ Watch this episode here - https://youtube.com/live/ax6uuKbNm2U  Get 60% off the Magic Mind offer with our link and code ⁠https://www.magicmind.com/watp60⁠ & WATP60 Learn more about your ad choices.

We meet a new

We also have another round of two minutes with Tom from Cardiff and the debut of brand new game, Is It Gay? with review girl Megan. But first, Stuttering John worked for Stephanie Miller, but before he worked there, he was a guest, just like The Tonight Show. This is almost exactly 10 years ago. On July 17, 2015, John appeared on Stephanie Miller's Happy Hour show. And this is just for Stephanie Miller's happy hour show. And this is just for Stephanie Miller subscribers. They were drinking during the show. And so John is in his element. He loves it.

And Stephanie introduces him and does not know who the fuck he is. Well, it's an extra fuckity, fuckity, fuck, fuck, fuck, happy hour fucking podcast because our guest is stuttering John Menendez. Melendez. Melendez from the Howard Stern is stuttering John Menendez So I think we were talking about this when we were playing some clips and I just want to say this is amazing Andre got me all these episodes of stuttering John on 70 mores happy hour

We have the entire vault has been opened up to us, which I believe is never before seen in the dabble verse This content so we'll be going through it. This is very exciting But we are asking the question on point Dale book if we're playing some clips from this is Stephanie Miller Howard Stern fan And I would say the answer is no because she thought his name was John Menendez Anyone is a Stern fan would know it's that our John Melendez. I Would I would think and John couldn't get. John Melendez. I would think. And John couldn't get that joke out fast enough. I know, you always see that's his go-to. He's got a bunch of go-tos.

It's in the chamber. A period of time, the Menendez name was much more popular than the Melendez one. They were probably covering it, they're just used to saying it. That's true. John loves this because he gets to have that opening joke, which he wouldn't have.

I would say that period of time is right now. The Menendez brothers are much more in the news than Bola Des is. Yes. Well, then we find out that Stephanie is just a huge Stern fan. Okay. I'm so thrilled to have you in.

Cause I obviously, all of us radio geeks, listen to Howard from the time we were in the womb. Sure you did. I'm not buying it I mean listen to the stairs it's the I was in the womb she might be about the same age as turn I don't know her father's like a famous politician yeah I don't remember what his deal is didn't seem like a stern listener to me but probably not but whatever I understand you're on the radio. You have to give homage to Howard Stern. Pretend that you liked that and that you're a fan of John. And we find out that when John first met Stephanie Miller, now John was a fan of Stephanie Miller's show, because he stopped listening to Howard, he wouldn't pay for Sirius. And so he was listening to Stephanie on AM station out in LA 1150. And he'd be listening when he'd be commuting to his job and so when Stephanie showed up at the Tonight Show, John met Stephanie for the first time and you won't

believe what his icebreaker was. And I'm backstage backstage and first John comes back and says, Oh my God, my daughter's gay and you're her hero. And I was like, Oh, you're fucking stutteringuttering John and then Jay walks in and goes John faces himself a Jay Leno impressionist I gotta give this one to Stephanie she actually had better material yes she could hit the high notes. Yep, that too. So John's icebreaker is like, you're gay, my daughter's gay. You like the Dodgers? My daughter likes the Dodgers. Like,

what are we doing? Well, she loves that his daughter she's always like, tell him I'm gay. Tell him I'm gay. Right. Yes, of course. So then she talks about this awkward conversation she had with Jay Leno about stealing a bit. Apparently on Stephanie Miller's show they did this thing about the Simpsons Bunch during the O.J. Simpson trial and it was like based on the Brady Bunch and then later that night on Tonight Show she saw the exact same bit and so she had to talk to Jay about this and have this awkward conversation

You know and we I'm sure this has happened to Stern He talks about it all the time it happened to happens to Jay people go. Oh, that's my fucking joke I told that ended up blah blah blah Well, the reason why I pulled that clip is because we played a clip on point devil point on Monday Where we discovered the origin of the Mexico parade joke that John tells nonstop. And this is, I'm going to play it again, Craig Shoemaker was a guest on the show. And now what we're watching now is before John worked for them. This is him as a guest.

But now we're going to fast forward to John actually being a booker. He was booking the guest and he was on mic personality and we see this Gentlemen happy fucking happy hour the love masters here One night with me you'll be sweating like Donald Trump in a Mexican hat like Donald Trump in a Mexican hat dance. That's the way it goes. Yeah. I see. Yeah.

So John would go on to change that to Mexico parade or something. He's not very smart. No, he's not. Or phony. But he loves that joke. He tells it all the time and now we find out that it was ripped off from Craig Shoemaker.

In defense of Shoemaker, I bet for that week there was something going on in the news where that might have just gotten a little chuckle. Because even he looked over like, yeah, that wasn't that funny. He gave that little sheepish grin. He's doing a voice. He's just doing shtick. He's not like this I'm going to put in my act and say for the next 30 years every night. It seemed off the cuff. But John's never off the cuff. And I have a hard time sometimes clipping these old appearances by John because he repeats all the stuff we've heard him say a million times in these interviews

and sometimes I want to call him out for it and other times I'm like I don't know man you know it's like we understand his deal at this point. The guy is not original. I just sat through an interview and I had to sit through the whole thing to find two minutes of him saying Something new because they asked him a random question He didn't have like a Tourette's tick for that. He just automatically goes to so he was forced to say something and it's hilarious It's great. No, well, we'll play that next week. I'm looking for that But first they're talking about remember this is 2015 But first they're talking about remember this is 2015

So I think Trump just recently announced they'll be running for president as a Republican And no one was really taking them seriously back that everyone know new Trump But they were not happy about it. And so they're talking about all these Trump memes that have been going around Yeah, you know We shall overcome Have you heard you can trump your cat now people are putting little little that have been going around? You know, we shall overcomb. Yes. I think it's for that one. Have you heard you can trump your cat now? People are putting little trump two k's on their cats. And I'm kind of friendly with Donald.

Yeah, because I've talked to him. I mean, he gave me real estate advice. And you know. Last time we had Joan Rivers on, she just couldn't talk enough about what a great guy is. And she's just done The Apprentice, and blah, blah, blah. I'm like, oh. No, I mean, but I mean,

he's just a whole ass in my opinion. Oh yeah. Not even a half ass. You know, you know, I, you know, I think he loved that other day, you know, that we had the longest day was a second longer, which gave him another second look himself in the mirror. You know, it was very ecstatic about it. Wow. All right.

So I had to get to that joke. What a tag. He was very ecstatic about it. Oh, All right. So I had to get to that joke. What a tag. He was very ecstatic about it. Oh, the same joke again? Yeah. Good job. He doesn't have confidence in that joke. No, nor should he. Remember that day that was a second longer than any other day? Yeah. Got it. Looking in the mirror. It's funny to me though, to go back in time 10 years, because he wasn't Hitler yet. Right. You know what I mean? So they were like making jokes know, to go back in time 10 years because he wasn't Hitler yet. Right. You know what I

mean? So so they're like making jokes and sharing memes and giggling about it and then fast forward a year and a half and the sky was falling and Russia was taking over the country but that's old news. Speaking of old news, let's talk about John

growing up with a stutter and how difficult that was. I was called stutter face skip That's kind of funny MC stammer Turn out so fucking nice because you really would have every reason to be a fucking asshole. Yeah Or a psychopathic killer or something. Yeah Yeah, no, I know I'm I'm just very humbled like you know about Yeah, no, I know I'm just very humbled like you know about Yes, he said that right So excited. It was just like how did you turn out so nice?

I guess you haven't got a demand letter or a cease and desist from this man. I'm sure somebody would have a different opinion Yeah, what's amazing when you're going back this far and listening to them? You can drop the needle anywhere, but you don't know where to pick it up. Because I actually clipped the same thing and I stopped it after asshole and then I kept listening. I'm like, oh, this gets better and better and better. I love that John just goes, well, you know, I'm just a humble guy. It ain't easy.

Yeah, I'm just a humble guy. That's why I'm so cool. And fast forward a little later into the interview, John shows how humble he is. It like after the joke was done, they cut to Obama and he was laughing his ass off. Yeah, so I made the president laugh. Yeah. He had to tell his joke about the tonight show drop and Obama was laughing at the thing that john did. He had to tell a lot of jokes. This episode. Yeah, yeah. See, I explained how cool

he was a bunch of times This is something you guys will be amazed by But but I was the kid that always asked the questions on my fifth grade report card shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up Great report that's already more look at how many times it the store anymore. I don't care how many times. It's out there. It's out there a million times. It's enough.

You ever see John Travolta now? Yeah. He looks like John Travolta now, but being blown up as a balloon. And he's just about to pop. That's what he looks like here. And how many times do you think they told him to stop banging on the desk that the microphone's on? Because every time he does it it? Lifts this big

Boof like doesn't he know anything about how do you know that though? How would he know? Recording a radio show So the the producer out here his name is Chris different producer Chris is a gay man and John didn't realize that and he asked the dumbest question possible Are you gay? Yeah. Oh, are you have you come out really is even more shocking than are you on steroids? Oh my god Are you gay have you come out? No, no Stephanie just out of them just now with that clit joke Can you believe it John and you were here for it? If you come out

No Proceeds to kick his ass Seems weird Call him that he's always like oh no problem. No problem. That's cool All right well then we get into the question about, because I guess Chris just broke up with his boyfriend. You actually sent me over a clip. It's so weird.

It's like, are you with someone right now? He's like, no, not for like three and a half months. Josh is like, oh, okay, great. Yeah, are you dating on him? What do you mean great? And then follows it up with, yeah, I'm recently divorced. Like, so are we getting dinner or what? So this is that.

I know I got divorced. That was, I was married. How many years? 13 years, three great years. Check that box. You've heard that movie 12 years ago? I lost 150 ugly pounds, I'm divorced, all right. I like the way Stephanie handled that because she even recognized how hacked that was.

Said something just as hacky and then hit the drum. You're one of the biggest hacks I know. Yeah. This is how you can tell she's a Stern fan. This is how you could tell even from the clips on Point Dabble Point, because she's excited about him. She respects him. I think we've all, especially me, fallen into this thing where it's like, oh, you're that lovable fuck up from that thing I love. But once that thing you love is gone, and it's just the fuck up, it takes a while for that

love to go away. And then you realize, oh, he's not like telling bad jokes as a bit He's just telling bad jokes. He's not the lovable fuck up. He just fucks everything up And I gotta get him away from me as far as possible It's very much a donkey lips kind of vibe to it. They're like oh that kid was funny when he was 18 Yeah, I'm gonna devote my life to helping him. Oh wow John's got a Airline joke here that Stephanie does not like at all well eight months ago, you know, she called her name is Greta at least eight months ago was and

And then and then you know, and she told me that she's transgender now. I'm so stupid I know what it was. I was like you know so you're in an airline now. I don't go You could tell Stephanie's just like really is what we're doing They're pretty progressive on the show. It's a progressive Even though it's a happy hour. It's not like About his kid coming out as trans and then he has to make a quip about it. They could have had a moment there I imagine but

John is gonna brag about how liberal he is cuz he felt that he felt that like maybe he crossed the line a little bit And he wants to reassure stuff. No, no, we're all on the same team here I'm totally on your side I'm liberal I mean I was I was I've been pro same-sex marriage broke gay for all my life so I mean I had a I had a painting because I paint sometimes I have people prop hate I made like six years ago for property like I mean like with a heart with a black thing that didn't 8, but anyway, and they're all equals around. Yeah.

John explaining his artwork, it totally reminds me of Homer Simpson in the Frank Grimes episode, where he doesn't realize everything he's doing is childish, adults shouldn't be bragging about these things, and yet he doesn't understand he's getting rooted out by his buddies It's just like that and wins a contest all right

In that episode that is what happens But him explaining this piece of art is so funny to me because this is when John still took himself very very seriously And he's explaining like I'll explain how liberal liberal I am I created this piece of art That said prop hate instead of prop eight and they go wow okay liberal liberal I am I created Mayeron and they were looking at John's art so I thought I would share that it's oh any more art we oh yeah please please please wait he did all this himself yeah so you know this is the painting that he was just bragging to Stephanie Miller about and do you want to maybe describe this for the audio listeners um it's like when your kid makes like a

Mother's Day card but she accidentally burned it because it's a big red heart but the the prop hate is like a black fungus and it's written very childish and there's equal signs a bunch of flair around it like it's the kind of thing your kid would hand you and you'd go, that's very good. It's terrible. And the equal, so it has the equal sign and then apostrophe S. Like equals already means equals. You don't have to put apostrophe S after an equal sign.

Well, because he's inclusive. It's everybody. It's not just, wow, it doesn't even make sense. It looks like a cartoon fart. Yeah. No, it's terrible. It does look like somebody had a heart and then somebody farted all over it and the the prop hate It just looks like it looks hate is the key thing you're seeing here seeing the black and the hate

It's not a positive feeling thing and not for nothing if it's a knockoff on prop eight wouldn't it h8 be better? Than spelling out the word hate would that be a little more clever totally? Yeah, it'd be publishing this turd but Just to give you an idea that you know of where I was already where my head was at so you know like unfortunately not under a car tire wouldn't fit. Their mom and I are very liberal in our thinking. Their mom and I. That's that. It was hard to find that art. I really had to scrub through the internet to find that piece. John doesn't have it posted on his Twitter anymore. I love when he's talking to Stephanie Miller. He's like, yeah I'm liberal and I'm that. It's very dismissive. Yeah. Yeah, I'm what you know me I know all about you weirdos

They consider themselves on the front lines of this, you know civil rights movement They've donated their life and their time and their money and their career to these causes and when he's like hold my beer You want to know how much I support them? Look look at this he thinks they're all gonna be like wow yeah okay he's one of us now. He made a painting cool. Would you like to make a donation John? I did in art. In the form of art. Well then he talks about how his trans son Knight wanted him to take down some of the tweets that John had posted. And John, being the great liberal father that he is, took those tweets down, but then goes on any show that's broadcasting and tells you exactly what was in the tweets that offended

his trans son. But you tell me. So the first one was, oh, Caitlyn Jenner looks hotter than half the girls I had sex with in in high school only with less chest hair This is the one that got her man, I think your daughter's calling right now no I think this is the one that's you know that got her man I said now if Bruce cuts off his penis and the only original cast member from keeping up with the Kardashians who has a penis Will be Chloe Okay, that's funny so wordy that's right out of John's act too. He still talks about Chloe having a dick

There's just an easier way to get there you don't have to say the word penis twice for sure It's a shitty job doing damage control. They look at each get there. You don't have to say the word penis twice. No. For sure. It's a shitty joke. They're doing damage control. They look at each other like if we don't laugh, this is going to sound really mean. So we got to act like this is all in good fun. Right. Right. See how liberal I am, guys? Yeah. Okay. And those are the ones that your son didn't want you to ever repeat again?

Got it. Cool. Thanks. Maybe, maybe you can take your cues from what those people, as you said, are offended by, by what they say. Maybe just don't ask these people. Maybe just go by what your kid said. Can you believe my dumb trans son was upset with these two tweets?

They're not even that bad, all right? What do you think? Yeah, an idiot. Right, I was right. I'm gonna tell them. I'm gonna tell them you said that. All right, we're 17 minutes into the show at this point, and John needs another beer.

And so he's gonna let one of the producers know he needs one My hearty lying impression. It's always the smoke Yeah, oh Antisodium medication I told you it is true. I do stutter some anti stuttering medication That's healthy. It's a healthy relationship with alcohol right there. I do stutter. Some anti-stuttering medication. That's healthy. It's a healthy relationship with alcohol right there, I would say.

So yeah, John's chugging down the beers and it's not helping him during the interview as he's opening up the next one. Yeah, and the other one that I didn't know was I asked, oh, oh damn it. I just blanked, Steph, I'm getting old. That's all right. Oh we all are Getting a little getting drunk. Yeah Because I think it's both I'm not used to these blue moons. Well, yeah, he's reaching for a bottle opener

It's like ooh, fancy. Yeah, which actually says that the help doesn't care for this guy. That's a good point Yeah, they would take the bottle take the battle cap off. I'm so sick of him using his stutter as a crutch. He doesn't stutter. The only time he says he stutters is when somebody says why don't you stutter anymore? And then he talks about how he still does or he shows you how he still does and that's how you know because I'm just guessing here but if I had a debilitating stutter and Over time I cured it. I would probably be proud of it. I wouldn't be rushing to tell people I used to stutter anymore

Yeah, but now I don't because I know how and let me help you learn all of those things that he claims to do But doesn't he would take pride in that when we were doing the living in the past on our patreon And YouTube membership show Joe Koy is like hey, you don't stutter anymore and John goes well, that's cuz I'm really comfortable here But yeah, that's not what a stutterer deals with. Yep. You're talking about someone who's nervous So if you all would just get comfortable stupid, you'll just relax No, this was a funny thing that John said Ignorant was bliss for me sure ignorant was bliss

He's a poet So now we start hitting on Stephanie out of nowhere John is so horny up all the time. He's always ready. Out and seven in the morning, everybody. And then I was- You are so cute, by the way. Oh, thank you.

I'm sorry. You know, is that a weird compliment when he goes, oh, you're so pretty in person? I was like, oh, thank you. No, I said prettier in person. Oh, oh, well, okay, thanks. Anyway. Well, I mean, you know, on the morning. Oh, I am loud. You know, you have the hat on. Well, yeah, thanks. Anyway. Well, I mean, you know, in the on the morning.

Oh, you know, you have the hat on. Yeah, it was a bad way to say that you're beautiful. How's that? How's that? Jesus, get it together, John. I was still convinced I can turn you. Yeah. Geez. Turn her off of men. Yeah, well, yeah. This whole thing where these are not good compliments. Nope. Wow, you're so much prettier in person. Oh, so I look like shit on my show, cool. Yeah, on her show.

Yeah. That's a good point, on air. While she's on the show. You know, people who are watching this right now on the stream don't realize you're actually not as grotesque as you come off. I just want you to know that. Thanks, John. Appreciate it.

She's a lesbian, by the way. She wants nothing to do with John. John's got this weird fantasy about turning lesbian. He talks about it quite a bit. The guy, too, he tried whatever he could to his right. That didn't work, so he turned to his left. He was just working on this. John thinks that Stephanie's gonna be like,

you know what, I miss penis. It's just not what's gonna happen. You'll never believe this thing that John brings up because Stephanie's like, I'm a Howard Stern fan. We love John Howard Stern. Everyone who's in the radio loves Howard Stern. And so John brings this up out of nowhere, just talking about what a piece of shit Howard was.

I mean, because he told me, and this is in the worst days of my memory of Stern, was he told me to abort my first kid because I wasn't I wasn't fit to be a father. Oh, and then he told my wife that while she was eight months pregnant when she was at his birthday Show whatever and he said the same thing to her, you know You know, you should abort the kid because John's not ready to be father But I mean that's kind of harsh. That is harsh, you know, but yeah, it was a joke about you being an immature asshole From the one and only Howard Stern. Yeah. Yeah I mean the fact that he can't get over this thing or understand the context of it when he goes and he said it to

My wife too. Oh shit. I got a dinner party. No, no, it was on the show Well, she was eight months pregnant. Also again, it was the joke That probably tied into some reality because you were an immature loser and him and Susanna weren't even married at the time. And you're talking about the show that even if you never watched it or heard it, you know is famous for saying outrageous and graphic things. The only thing you know about it. He sounds like, and then Don Rickles looked me in the eye and he called me a hockey puck.

Can you believe that? and No one's laughing harder when Howard's ripping someone else apart if Howard's going after Gary or Fred John's in there Feet up in the air The best time of his life how are some of the John's and he will never forget it. Can you believe? Howard said something to John and he will never forget it. Can you believe he said this? I would give anything in the world for John's kid to do a tour. And when people ask them about their life and what was it like growing up with a famous

dad, I hope they say, well, I remember when I came out to my dad, it was the hardest thing I ever had to do. And he turned and he looked at me, put his hand on my shoulder And he said what are you some kind of airline? and I just cried and cried and cried and You know it was very difficult after that and and everyone's like oh, we're so sorry. That's so rough. That's so rough like that's what he's doing That's what he's doing. I thought for sure you were gonna say Howard was right Now we get into so at this stage in John's

career, he's looking for a job and we're going to find out he's auditioning for Stephanie at this time. He thinks he might be getting an offer from Anthony Kumia because this is before Artie joined the show. Anthony did not have a co-host

at this time and John was on that show a lot and then we find out more ties to open Anthony. I Like to get back into it. I mean, it's it's something that I was I was telling you that I've been doing like Anthony Coo me show a lot. Yeah, and we and we have so much fun and you know, it's just it's just so loose and Hilarious we were also wondering how do you think Stephanie feels about Anthony Coo me? Opposite of what she did on air because she's a professional you know I think that John is above his politics are above Cuma but she is like yeah, okay

We're broadcast cool. Yeah, unbelievable. It's fun. And you know, it's just it's just so loose and hilarious We were all talking about one degree of radio separation. So Opie and Anthony He used to get me coffee It was an intern at Brother Weezel show in Rochester my first big radio sister You know brother Weasel sister sleaze and WCMF. He was I was like Opie. I'll be the intern that got me That's hysterical. Yeah, did you know that I did not did you know Stephanie Miller was sister sleaze no brother Weas I had no idea

Miller was Sister Sleaze with Brother Weez? I had no idea that Opie was an inter- how old is Stephanie Miller? Opie was an intern and she was the co-host of the Brother Weez show? Because Opie's looking rough. I mean, this is 10 years ago, but still. Yeah. That's shocking to me. For bona fides to check out, she's a fan. She appreciated it.

That is shocking to me, which by the way, that's another connection that we have. We have to reach out to Stephanie Miller and get her on this show. I'm trying to get on that. I'm trying to get don't if everybody here if we can all just be quiet about I'm trying to get on happy hour. Guys can everyone just be cool. Just don't blow this for me please I need this. Can we just be cool for once everyone.

Come on guys that won't be like last time. So I was I was shocked by that I didn't realize that she's coming from Rochester Radio. 96.5 WCMF, the home of rock and roll. And John wants to get back on the radio. He's looking for any kind of job he can get and he makes it very clear. Yeah, I mean, listen, like I said, I don't know if I just said this,

but yeah, I've always wanted to do the show. Yeah. You know, I listen to you all the time. If we knew that, we would've had you on a long fucking time ago. You know, I. Yeah, you know, you know, I listen to you all the time. We knew that we would have had you on a long time ago. You know, I think I, oh well, you know, I did see you at that party, you know, after the the um the sexy liberal. Yes. Yeah. Oh, in LA. I did see you there too and I was hanging out and I and I asked Jim, I said, okay, I love the show. I guess Jim never talked to you after.

Jim is a drunk feral cat. He's supposed to be here today, but he thought it was tomorrow because we normally tape tomorrow. It's the whole thing. Anyway. I used to pitch you as a guest on the Tonight Show all the time. All the time. All the time.

All the time. Let's take a moment to say. Okay. And Jayne never bit. No, never bit. Again, that's not a nice thing to say. No. Jon thinks it's a nice thing to say,

but to be like, I pitched you all the time and every Time they said Stephanie Miller you fucking high no It might have been nice if he just left it at that if you just say you know I pitched you once Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, not all the time every time. Yeah every time he said tried so and then again no and then again No, just would not but never even got to Jay to be honest with you No segment producers shut it down immediately so John has stuck his foot in his mouth so many times on this show And I only got through the first 29 minutes will pick up from where we left off on the next episode

You guys have probably watched more of this already It's very good. There's more gold in them there Hilt Okay, well I'm excited about that you found something Adam a news article from 2004 Yes, and I was hoping you could read that to us because I I read the first couple paragraphs I was like, okay, this is funny. I want to wait I hope it hasn't been surprised read before It just shows you how nothing really changes. It's the same bit. He's doing the same things and getting the same reaction and has learned nothing. So it doesn't help to compliment him. It doesn't help to criticize. He doesn't hear any of it. He doesn't care.

This is after his first couple weeks in the New York Post, which is like the New York paper that loves scandals and would always cover Howard Stern. It starts with, is this guy lucky or what? Stuttering John Melendez was once the shaggy-haired freak who made his bones on Howard Stern's radio and TV shows by asking celebrities the most offensive questions. In return, he was verbally abused, threatened, and occasionally assaulted. And now, suddenly, he's Ed McMahon. I have no doubt there's pressure involved in making the opening announcement each night on NBC's The Tonight Show, but from the looks of it last week, Melendez's first day as Jay Leno's new announcer,

this has got to be the cushiest job in show business this side of Vanuites. Mostly, John just sits there in a chair, off camera, watches the show. In the entire five days of shows, he was seen about seven times, adding up to six or seven total minutes out of 300. He has his own parking space, which means this is personal, on the NBC lot. He's clean-shaven, short-haired, and he wears nice-looking blazers, usually over a starched button-down shirt with the top two buttons unbuttoned. Hey, who is this guy? With his newly developed deep bass announcer's voice and his apparent conquest of his trademark stutter, the 38-year-old Melendez is the James Earl Jones of late night.

In fact, his announcements didn't sound all that different from the ones delivered by his predecessor, Ed Hall. For the benefit of future historians and Melendez biographers reading this long after I'm dead, here is John's first announcement on The Tonight Show last Monday, word for word. It's The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, featuring Kevin Eubanks and The Tonight Show Band. I'm John Melendez. Tonight Jay welcomes Kiefer Sutherland from Jersey Girl, 9-year-old Raquel Castro, the music of Gary Jules, and headlines, and now Jay Leno. It took me until Wednesday to figure out that last line.

For two days it sounded like, here's Leno, which didn't make sense to me. In addition to his nightly announcements, John was seen Tuesday in a VH1 style behind the music spoof designed to introduce him to the Tonight Show audience. Among those featured on the piece, titled Behind the Stutter, were his parents, Ralph and Osa Melendez of Masapicua. He's not the way he was portrayed on Howard Stern, insisted John's mom. He's actually a really nice guy. No footage of the confrontational interviews that made Melendez famous were included and since the footage would have had to come from Stern their omission is a sign that Stern is still miffed at Leno for hiring this guy But you can't blame Melendez for taking the job. I'm sure the pay is pretty good and the actual work seems almost non-existent

It's nice when the things you suspect are happening or pretty much what's happening. Yes, I love that article It's it really sums up Everything that we know now and what was happening at the time I remember listening to the start of the time and him calling John out for how bad he was on that show and how awkward He looked on TV holding up his mug to Jay didn't know what what to do when he was TV holding up his mug to Jay didn't know what what to do when he was Every single job he's ever had was because someone he knew had it and he said I can do that it was like his friend was an intern at Stern and

Then he's like I can do that and then he sees they're getting hired. Why can't I get hired? You know, whoever's Ganji or whoever's getting hired Casey's a writer. I can do that. Jackie chair. I can do that already gets it Oh, he's a stand-up. I can do that Oh jay's a host remember while he was on the tonight show he started his own talk show from his house where he was the host We've seen this. Yeah, I know what you're talking about. What was the name of that channel? Yeah, his channel. Yeah was a Stutterface production. It was a Stutterface. It was Stutterface, yes. But while his boss is the host of a...

He's like, I'm doing my own you back at home. So then he gets fired, he goes to Stephanie Miller. What does he do? I can do what Gary did, I'll produce. Gets fired from there, then I'll start my own political show. The political show turns into Beer in the Balcony, which is just Stephanie's happy hour. And then he's like, I'll do a clip show show cuz Carl did it. Yeah. He's got nothing. I'll run for senator. Pretty good summation right there. I gotta give you credit for that.

And while he was on Stephanie Miller as a guest he was saying I've been on Auntie Akumy a lot lately and it's fun cuz it's loose. I read that as lazy and easy. Yeah and he gets to drink beer on any show too. I read that as lazy and easy. Yeah And he gets to drink beer on a show to wander into something. Yeah, I've done Anthony show a few times I've always come with material. I've brought clips. I've brought song parodies I didn't bring my own beer. I assume they would have it there But you know I tried to bring some stuff to add to the staff I didn't even tip that don't ask remember when you asked quite if he brought anything with him and he looked at you like are you fucking with me? Are you fucking with me? I was trying to be polite in case you wanted to talk about something.

Actually what Quad did talk to me about before the show started was the heroics of Opie which we will be getting into Not too long from now. If you don't know Opie is the hero we don't deserve Brendan Schaub with the Golden Hour. I got some stuff on that. Steel Toe is having quite the week. I have a lot to talk about with Steel Toe with this golf tournament that's turning into a disaster. But also Redbar talked about him and Aaron did not understand. Nope. What Redbar was saying at all, which is hilarious. A Kermit X, not a fan of mine, not a fan of Shulie's, we'll get into all of that. But first this.

I recently got the opportunity to fill in on the biggest problem. That show records Fridays at 9 p.m. Of course, I had the creep off at noon, I have this little piggy at four, that's a long day, and I would not have been able to do it without magic mind I've been telling you about my friends at magic man for years now But there's something new I'm very excited to tell you about they reached out to let me know about two new products

They wanted me to try along with the original magic mind productivity shot. There's now a magic mind free and magic mind max They sent me samples that I tried and they absolutely work for me Max. They sent me samples that I tried and they absolutely work for me. That's why I have them as a sponsor. All three are still productivity shots that give me a calm focus, helping me get more done. Magic Mind Free is the first formula to have zero sugar and zero caffeine. This was perfect for my long Friday. In the morning I drink the original formula that has some caffeine. At night I don't want any caffeine. I want to be able to get to sleep after the show, but I need to be focused and energized.

Magic Mind Free was perfect for prepping and appearing on to the biggest problem. And really, the issue's always been for me, productivity in the morning. I am not a morning person. So now I get up every day, I drink Magic Mind first thing to get my day started, and I don't let hours slip by.

I'm super productive. I'm prepping the show. I'm answering emails. I'm managing the YouTube, all the stuff I need to do to get this job done. MagicMind is formulated to not only increase productivity but it also relieves stress and I can notice my mood improve after I drink MagicMind.

Now I asked for a stinger for Brendan Schaub. We've been featuring him a lot lately and DJ Electra Fry came in and she said, I know this isn't the normal style that you have, but it's a bit different. I'm going to play that. Let's go. Very weird. Is that mean you're going to play that every time? No, not necessarily.

I was looking for some feedback. Good question. Yeah, I mean, I think I enjoyed that once. Thank you for putting that together and sending that in. There's another version of it too but I think we get the gist. Brendan Schaub is a co-host on The Golden Hour with Kristalia and Eric Griffin, the three worst ball busters in the history of ball busting. This is how their most recent episode starts off. How you doing, Eric? I'm good. I mean he's got his outfit on. Who made that shirt? I don't know. don't, who made that shirt? I don't know. What little company sent you that shirt?

Yeah, yeah, what stupid company sent you this shirt? Reverse descent, it's actually cool, I like their stuff. Yeah. Pray for us, did you steal that from fucking? Show one day and they were like, nah, we're our shirts. They're just like, we're big fans. Yeah, yeah, okay, just go to the Gap.

Pray for us. Okay, is the Gap a fan? Go to the Gap. No, you know go to the guy for us. It's the gap of fan go to the gap night This is a nice polo I have on go. I don't like to gap The polo the polo does look better on Eric than that then last week that that shirt with retire that sure What was it? Because Rachel doesn't want to use fabric softener Look I can't tell if they're busting each other's balls or they're actually having a serious discussion about clothing that they're wearing. Hey, nice outfit Eric Griffin. Yeah, well what's that shirt? I don't know, man. Just keep the cameras moving. Yeah, right. It doesn't matter. And it'll give the illusion that something's happening, because it's not. This is improv.

This is people who have taken improv classes. And from the second it started, somebody dropped something, somebody has to pick it up. But after the first back and forth, I wanted, I just wanted to stop it. Okay, gentlemen, let's start again. And let's see why did that go wrong. But instead of getting to do that, they just have to keep going. And they think that's their skill and talent But it's not because we have to watch all of this

My wife doesn't use fabric softener. Oh Okay. Yeah good stuff. Just because he said shirt doesn't mean we have to run with it and make it the next 10 minutes Let's stop. Let's create a place and maybe some a conflict. Who are we? What's happening? Not just you in a shirt. I haven't seen you since last week what do you know yeah that's a more general topic we can make our own as opposed to shirt defend go what yeah how's Austin go I guess the questions I would want to ask I'm guessing every failed bit is just punctuated with Eric Gribson's fake laughter his fake laughter is out of control in this episode it isn't all the episodes yeah he said shirt and he

screamed he went screamed but he laughs hardest and he screamed. He went, ah, he screamed. But he laughs hardest when he's the one with the joke. Nothing makes him laugh harder than him. And I use the word joke very liberally on this. So they're talking about this guy, Ben Askren, who was just given $2 million, he's a UFC guy. He was just given $2 million from an anonymous donor for a double lung transplant and so this is the topic they're discussing Chris D'Alia just has a quick throwaway joke he does it in the form of a joke to

make it very obvious that it is a joke and Eric Griffin just can't let it go he needed two lungs and his insurance denied him and someone gave him two million dollars a donor and some people think it's Jake Paul, some people think it's the Tay Brothers, some people think it's me, it's just it's somebody. Hey some people think it's me. No one thinks it's you. Well I'm just saying it could be anyone right? It could be anyone.

I could have done one lung and someone could have done another one. Hey it could be anyone but zero people think it's you well dude yeah that was the joke Eric when Chris said that that was the joke no one thinks it was Chris giving him two million dollars and Eric goes I'm not letting you get away with that no one thinks you did that well he was winking at Eric but he's wearing the shades right and Eric's not picking up. So, Brendan Schaub's not in the room there. He is...or is he?

No, he's in Austin. He's streaming in from Austin, right? Right, yeah, they're in LA. So, he really seems like the kid trying to get one in from the back, trying to hang out with them. Why they have him there, I'm not quite sure. They need to just cut ties. It's not working with him.

I mean, it wasn't working before, so I'm not gonna sit here and be like, the show was better. Right. It's not what's worse, but it's not, it wouldn't have been better. It won't change, really. It's not gonna get better. So then they start riffing on lung transplants, and Chris just says random shit,

and then people just laugh for no reason. That is just so crazy. What if, do you get two of the same, or do you get one from someone and one from another one? I I feel a Martin Lawrence movie coming From this guy one lung from that guy I don't get it. I don't get it at all Martin Lawrence. Is he making movies? Is this a thing I should know about?

And someone even photoshopped the movie poster and put it in a post? I guess the movie was called Just My Lung? Which doesn't... Make any sense. I feel like Chris gave him a look that said you better laugh right now. This guy one lung from that guy! I made the graphic, come on. This show's insane so Chris is They start talking about the Diddy case and if anyone knows anything about Chris D'Alia the term sex trafficking been brought up

Around him before so I could see where he'd be like Invested in this case and when did he was acquitted of sex trafficking? He's probably given one of these big fist bumps pops like yes Fuck yeah, they got shit on me compared to that and So they start talking about the diddy guys Yeah, falsely accused. I guess did he's free dude the fuck is not he's not no no I know hard stuff, but the were those courtroom sketches real What do you mean? Yeah, what well they're real sketches

It's not the photo Yes, they're real No, that's a weird question Yeah, I think he wants to know if that's actually what happened if he actually got on his knees and cried like that while all those men were hugging around him. Isn't Or if that's from one of his freak offs that we can't tell it's a drawing. There's no cameras. So I assume that it's not a freak off. And Brendan has an interesting take on Diddy. I was kind of surprised about this. Wow, dude. Hell. Yeah, dude. He was facing life in prison, but facing like 50 years over some bullshit

I'm not over some bullshit. It's no judgment. It's just I would have been on the ground already First thing's pretty wild. I don't know if he's following the case all that closely It's like they were gonna give him life in prison for what pissing in some chicks mouth. Yeah, it's not when he was outraged So he was a dry hole Kelly and he did go away for that for a very long time. So R. Kelly got away with that and those underage girl. Oh But he's there now. I mean he's there now eventually I'm actually kidnapping women and keeping them as slaves in his house. That's a whole other thing

R. Kelly's also very innocent. It's a bullshit The precedent was set without Kelly we let him go shop knows it I just thought that was really interesting that they seem to have this take on it where they're like yeah, did he was just like having these cool freak-offs with his girlfriend and Federal government's making a big deal about it. I don't know why There's also like drugging people and forcing them to have sex again Crossed state lines and yeah, which is weird. I didn't pull the clip of Dummy Eric Griffin going this should just been a case done by the state

of dummy Eric Griffin going, this should have just been a case done by the state. Do you guys understand what's going on at all? And they prove it. Hey, Eric, here's my question. What was all this about? You know what I'm saying? Because they know going in, they didn't find shit. They obviously leaked the Cassie video

to get the public on their side. Obviously he's a bad dude. But when it comes to the Rico and all that shit, like what was this really about? Well, I look like assholes now. Someone wants to get invited to put a freak off. It sounds that way. Doesn't it? Yeah. He's gonna, he's like, he's gonna get out in a year and I want to be able to hang out with Diddy. Also puts it on Eric. Go. Yeah. Yeah. What was all this bullshit? What were they thinking with this case against Diddy?

I like that they leaked that video to get people against him. Yeah, there's a lot of other video that we've never seen that would make people very upset with Diddy. He's a pretty big douchebag. How does his thinking remove the part where he did what was in the video, whether it was illegally leaked or not? He's's like he's a bad guy But okay, why why is there a but you know he beat his wife. You know he did many of these things Why is that not a bad guy? I don't understand. Why is punishment not acceptable? Thank you, I was very confused by this whole conversation Especially because crystal Lee is a part of it, and I would think Chris would just be like yeah, man I don't know.

It seems like a bad guy. I want nothing to do with it. But he's totally with these guys and thinking that there was nothing wrong with any of this behavior. The freak offs were just him and his girls. Oh, right, right, right. It wasn't like Beyonce and Jay-Z and like, you know what I mean? And Will Smith and all these people. Like none of that shit was real.

That was just like... So Beyonce wasn't a part of it. So I don't even know why anyone's interested in this thing. And Eric Griffin's black, so we have to trust him on this. Yeah, that's true. He would know better than I would whether I should care about the Diddy case or not. What, why is he doing this?

It's like, I can't shop thinking I'm gonna take a hot take and then not really doing the research and just running with it and realizing he fucked up. But what is Griffin talking about? Like, what is he talking about? What's the upside of Diddy? What's the, no, he was just what? I'm not sure they're all that well informed,

to be honest with you, Adam. That must be it. I think they're onto something. I think they saw the verdict verdict and what's crazy about this is they're acting like why do they even bring this case to trial? And you could argue obviously What the charges should have been and you know whether it was Rico charge and stuff But this idea that they're just like dude of course that he was gonna win this The defense was very concerned. All the way up until the jury coming back in.

That's why he was praying. That's why he went down to his knees and prayed. He couldn't believe what the verdict was. I don't think they thought I was a slam dunk. At least two legendary musicians who have died before they died made recordings saying, if anything happens to me look at prints and if nothing happens to me still look at prints because of AB and they played these recordings because they were legal and they were allowed. How much proof do you need?

Like what do these dead people have to gain by throwing prints under the bus posthumously. All right, so this is almost an impressive skill from Eric Griffin. He somehow makes every bad joke worse. I've really never seen anything like it on any other podcast, professional or amateur. You think, I just can't wait till Diddy is gonna be at one, he's gonna be out and then he's- Redemption tour.

No, not even that. He's gonna be, the moment's gonna happen where it dawns on him where he's like, fuck, I need baby oil. And he's gonna have to go get it. And he's gonna, it's gonna be like buying condoms when you're 16, you're like, yeah, Twix and this and then also whatever that is. Now he knows not to send you when he's gotta to, it's going to be like buying condoms when you're 16. You're like, yeah, Twix and this and then also that, whatever that is.

And now he knows not to send you when he's got to do it himself. Imagine you're the guy going like this. Good stuff. I'm really glad he acted out what it would look like for a cashier to ring up Diddy's baby oil Really added to that joke Can you have people buy him baby oil or order online still apparently not okay? That's what that's one of the things that he's He has to do now for going forward to buy his own baby oil at the store and do the walk of shame with it

Yeah, not a great joke, but like you said found a way. He found a way to crush it. And you can't be using a black bag for it either, did he? You have to use a clear bag to walk back home with your baby oil. And announce it to your neighbors. Fucking weird. No one's gonna tell Chris D'Elia that he shouldn't be handling this material right now. I know that's what's so amazing. Like, Chris has got some balls. I'll give him that. He watched that documentary about Kristalina, like, oh, this guy is a sociopath who threatens to off himself whenever girls get upset

with him in order to control them and manipulate them and gets them to move across the country to live in a house where he can go over and regularly have sex with them and Tells them when and when they can and can't leave the house and he's sitting there going This diddy guy a wacky guy up to some crazy stuff Well, then I guess for some reason Chris is following the steel-toe polycule thing Which is surprising to me because he does an April Imholt impression. So I had come eating off of my nipples.

Wow, spot on April. Pretty good. All right, so now they start comparing Diddy parties to the Playboy Mansion. And I can't figure out what this joke is for the life of me. Brendan Schaub thinks it's hilarious. Maybe it's missing some context. I can't tell Like the Playboy Mansion Probably the Playboy Mansion was worse Well, you remember when I made that joke when he was like when when you have no when they were like, oh Because he died in like 2020 my favorite job Was like they're doing what? Yeah, I died just in time. Yeah.

What just happened? They're doing what? I'm thinking he said that's his Hugh Hefner impression is a dead guy, but he said it around the time he died or before he died. And then once he died, he couldn't do that joke. Is it that he's a vampire that he's dead? Was that it? Gosh, I have no idea. You've just made it more confusing for me. What do you think it is? I thought they were talking about because Me Too got brought up. So I thought it was

something about like, people coming out and talking about the past. And he died just in time. But he died years after me, too Then it's true. Yeah, so that doesn't make any sense to me. I don't know I can't figure out the only thing that checks out is that this is Brendan Schaub's favorite joke That's right. Yes, that's his favorite joke So this is now Chris's take on the me too movement, which again, I can't believe he talks like this. This is wild He's just hiding in plain sight. I guess is a strategy

I can't believe he talks like this. This is wild. He's just hiding in plain sight. I guess as a strategy Okay. Now I understand what uh, a lot of these hollywood producers do is shitty and you know, hey, uh, Suck my dick and you can get this job, right? Okay. I get that that sucks. All right, and that sucks for women And that's bullshit. Okay Nobody Nobody has come after the women that have actually done that. That actually sucked dick to get in Mad Max or whatever the fuck. And how about how you are taking jobs from women?

How about how you, because of that, are being shitty to women, right? Yeah. Argue with that. Never heard Eric not laugh for so long on this show. Yeah, let's round up all these sluts who sucked off Harvey Weinstein, Chris. It's a great idea. Let's publicly shame them. Is this a crazy take, Adam? You live out in La La Land.

It's a crazy take anywhere where you're like, let's round up the victims and make them answer for the crimes perpetrated against them. Coming from a sex predator. When he came out, when he started this monologue, which is brilliant, by the way, the idea of this whole speech being done by him is like a funny joke in itself When he's like, let me take this topic. I know when things like this happen. Here's what it's like. I'm like, okay I'm with you. You must know all sides of this thing Oh, no, you only know one side and you've completely blocked out the other and that's how it's gonna be forever

So you're even worse than you were before and Chris's mind He's like when I get a bitch to suck me off, she doesn't get anything in return. I don't give her a job. I might pay her rent for a little while, but she doesn't really get a nice starring role in a movie or anything. And he just got mad max. Definitely on Mad Max. And he just keeps digging himself a deeper hole. Yes, a tough it's a tough side you. Oh, so you you did it to

you took part in that but it's just the producers faults No, I get how the producers are wrong fuck them But what about the women that are now in movies because they fucking? I Wouldn't know how to react to this if I was out of this show He's putting these co-hosts in a really tough spot with this one on this show, and I don't know how to react to this if I was on this show. He's putting these co-hosts in a really tough spot with this one. I'm on this show and I don't know how to react. Yeah, I can tell.

What the fuck is he thinking with this? Everything he's saying in that like men don't have sexual crimes done against them, there's not homosexuality out there, there's not all these other things. What is he talking about? What about Justin Bieber? This poor guy. What happened to him? I mean, if he really sounds like, you know, of course the person that stabbed them with the knife given they're a bad person

But what about the person that was standing there? Yeah, just standing there. What about them? Yeah, why do they allow them to put it between the rib cage so they get right into the heart like that? Try get your ribs in their way to block it fucking idiot. Where were you sunflower dragon? Where were you? Brendan shop being the meathead that he is Decides to join in and take Chris aside on this they're part of the problem problem But also buddy, you don't you're telling me no one was like girl. I suck that dick so good. I'm yeah, forget it What did he just call out? Halle Berry Is that what I just heard is that he just called Halle Berry out for the getting the role of Catwoman

Was that specifically that was that what he was doing? I have no idea. I don't know all the Catwomen's I don't I just love that like he's I know cat girl or two I just thought I like that he was looking around for somebody to support him and Brendan's like oh not you buddy fuck All right, well anyway, I thought that was wild Crystalia going off on the victims in this is next level for him. And if he's playing a character, you know, he's, they're all defending Diddy. They're all defending Harvey Weinstein.

It's different. It's a different kind of show over there. I'll give him credit. For once I was actually interested in what they were saying. He's like, well, that's something you don't hear every day. Yeah, if that was the only topic of his show, if it was a show with that kind of theme. I'd tune in every week to see his thoughts on this.

Breaking news McDonald's international menu items are vanishing. McPizza bites missing in Italy. Big Rosti stolen from Germany. teriyaki chicken sandwich disappears in Japan and a Biscoff McFlurry blackout in Belgium. Oh, it's just in. We can now confirm the stolen favorites have resurfaced at McDonald's Canada, the international menu heist. Try them all while you can for a limited time in participating McDonald's in Canada.

All right. We got to talk about steel, though. Please, please, please, guys. Stream Labs, PayPal, Superchats, Rumble Rants, Venmo, maybe, you know what, maybe we don't deserve it. Aaron goes through a bit of an emotional roller coaster on the show yesterday on Steel Toe. And you know, you gotta feel for the poor guy. He's been having it real easy after his court case, after he went in to get his slap on the wrist $50 fine, and then it turned out that didn't happen at all.

And he's got another sentencing hearing coming up in October. He had some very generous donors give him a lot of money, and he went sweet. I got the goal covered and anyone who gives me money now that's for a goal in the future and I don't have to worry about it because we don't need to talk about goals. You don't need to beg anymore. Well that has finally come to a screeching halt as we'll see from this clip of OK presentation 6117 the steel toe boarding show subreddit.

A, the dam says, can someone shoot the $70 and let's be done with the gold tonight. Crunchy baby. Are you here guys? We do need that 70 bucks. I'm going to be fucking embarrassed. I'm going to be disappointed greatly. If my 24 hours is holy shit, we're so close to being four weeks ahead on the goal to we took a fucking $70 L I was of the mind that we were never gonna take an L again. I thought steel This is this man is so delusional. How could he possibly be that delusional? he's been struggling all year with this goal and missing it by a ton. And finally got ahead of it a little bit. He's like, I'll never beg again. I got a paycheck. I quit. Yes. So stupid.

That was on such an upswing. What a, what a fucking emotional roller coaster doing this job is. And like fucking nothing's coming. So it's not even like, Hey guys, 70 bucks. We're on our way. You know, it looks like the trend is the trend is bad. There's 15 minutes left. Look how stressful this is for him. And he can't help but explain all of his emotions that are going on as it's happening to him. We need 70 bucks still, I don't see any money coming in, I keep refreshing Venmo, there's nothing there. It's no way to live, but I'm glad he's living it.

Yeah, I know, it's funny. And we're 70 bucks away and I'm back to goal talk and this definitely feels like a step down. This definitely feels like a demotion. Yeah, you're begging on the internet again. Oh help out five ten bucks at a time if you please Back to this gross. I feel like a mud creature now Aboletitious gifting a membership. Thank you very much The guy's emotions he really is like a woman with his emotions cuz he's just like hi

I haven't seen a donation in 13 minutes And you guys hate me. Oh, there's one hey, we're doing it. I quit He's like someone who's starving or an addict. Yeah, yeah Butch my bag he just got his fix like that was that's all it took like that's not gonna get him through the next 10 Minutes he couldn't even finish the sentence he was minutes. He couldn't even finish the sentence. He was like, and we're back. Gifting a membership. Thank you very much. My begging finally annoys someone into throwing us a fiber. Das Optik Nerve. By the way, that is the lesson to be learned, Aaron. Always be begging. Always be annoying. Always be begging the audience. We love it. Nerve. Got that membership. That puts us 65 away and 50 memberships even away from

300 on rumble. We'll use the numbers that he's keeping track of while doing a show. He could do a much better show if he wasn't paying attention to how many memberships he's gotten on rumble for a while there. He was trying to figure out if he got more money through PayPal or stream labs or Venmo and he was calculating that but he's also calculating who gives him the money because there's a leaderboard of the top 40th out of those numbers. It's just double-stated. Because his math never checks out anyways.

Yeah, it's all stable. Yeah. Every time I tune in, it's like election day where like in the morning, they've got all the charts and the graphs up and they're looking at all this. Let's zoom in on this county right here because this is going to be a swing county right here. See, there's a rumble ramp that's zoom in on this county right here, because this is going to be a swing county right here. See, there's a rumble ramp that's coming in and hasn't been processed yet, and then we have all this from the discord that's coming.

It's very embarrassing. This is not important. You being in a bad mood because you don't make your goal doesn't affect us, so it's not a good motivation, Aaron. It affects me. Oh, yeah? It makes us happier. Good point,, but oh an extra half hour 45 minutes if we bang out that last

50 memberships, but $65 is the goal help out, please We can't fucking go from kicking ass and cocking off To getting our fucking ass kicked. So if you got something, now's the time. We appreciate it. Oh yeah. Also, uh, Stephen King.

Okay. Yeah. Then he goes into a topic. I have news for Aaron because I've seen this before for as long as Aaron is going to be streaming, he will be begging for money. The idea that he had in his head that like I want a couple weeks without Having to beg for money, so I'll never do it again Aaron will always be dark side Phil

We talk about cocking off for a second cocking off is that a thing I don't say that maybe it's a Minnesota thing Well, it must be because I've never heard mex acts about it All right. We had to talk about this golf tournament. So Aaron has coming up at the end of this month, his big 11 year anniversary show, live at Stoney's. And they have a cornhole tournament Saturday afternoon, followed by a comedy show featuring Aaron, Johnny Crutch's, Gino and Keanu Saturday night. Who are the comedians? And then Sunday morning, Sunday morning they have a golf tournament at this golf club that doesn't hold tournaments on Sundays and has said that it's not their tournament. Doesn't seem well planned. But listen to what Aaron was saying. This is so, I'm so glad somebody grabbed this. This is what Aaron was saying back in March, March 26th when he was promoting this golf tournament and how great it was I'm so glad somebody grabbed this. This is what Aaron was

this golf tournament and how a golf tournament. Hollywood for a Wednesday morning on I want to work. I know, right? I'm so excited for golf. By the way, I want to point out that Holly's super chat here makes me too excited for F O R E. It's fucking cornball. We got people lining up already. My phone's blowing up. All sponsor, all sponsor. I think that think that, uh, I think that this golf thing is something we're going to keep coming back to on. Good. Yeah. His phone's blowing up. Everyone wants to

sponsor holes. Everyone wants to be a part of it. This is great. Today's show. Uh, but also I think that this thing is going to get a little bit bigger than I think it will. The dumbest sentence I've ever heard than I think throw 200 people at a comedy show where you gotta pay just to get a ticket to watch the comedy show, you can get a couple hundred people to do a golf tournament and that's a shitload of people. Wait, hold on. Let's let's break down that logic. Please. If we can get 200 people to go to a comedy show, then we can get 200 people to be in a golf

tournament. What percentage of people go to a comedy show? Golf. And then what percentage of those people who golf want to get up the next morning and be in a golf tournament? 100%? How could you know? I guess it's 100% according to movie math over here. What is a good prize amount for a, now all my Google search results are for a golf tournament, Now all my Google search results are for a golf tournament. A few hundred to several thousand dollars. Oh, well, fucking duck. We can do that. Jesus Christ. You know what? For all of you steel toe fans who for years have been telling me Aaron, do a golf tournament, Aaron, do a golf tournament. And I've been like, guys, I don't know. It's everything I'm reading about putting on a golf tournament doesn't seem that difficult. It seems actually

pretty easy. Yeah. Sorry. It's probably probably do that. There we go. Now I'm sure it'll be super easy. So let's fast forward to yesterday. When he's talking about this golf tournament, they're trying new gimmicks. Originally, he said it was gonna be thousands of dollars in prizes. Now I think we're down to $400 for first place, $200 for second, and $100 for third. But he said if he got more people to register, it would go up to $500 if you win. Regardless, it's nowhere near where it used to be. And he added a new package now. You can pay more money and be in the grouping with Aaron or with Gino or with Keanu.

So you can pay to golf with them specifically. From what I've seen, they haven't sold any of those yet. But this is the update. After you just saw, he's just like, I can put on a golf tournament and give out thousands of dollars. This is easy peasy. Everyone's going to want to do it. We'll have hundreds of people, which would be nuts for a golf tournament give out thousands of dollars is easy peasy Everyone's gonna want to do it. We'll have hundreds of people which would be nuts for a golf tournament Out I hate this I

Will say I hate that we have I'm being selfish. I know it's selfish. I understand Oh, this clip starts with he's still 70 hours off the goal Was that with that don't get into the golf tournament doc. I hate having goals again. I really do There was something about like now it just turned eight o'clock, right? We have 30 minutes left and like that 70 bucks is in the back of my mind You got to make it you got to make it you got to make it and then like I remember the last three or four weeks Now I've just been going. All right, you got 30 minutes left buddy. Just fucking have a great rest of the show Let's let's crush that shit. It's so weird if I was stressing out about W ATP

I wouldn't express it on the show Right we'd push through it and then we'd have a meeting or something or I'd figure it out on my own But this idea that he's on the show going. Oh, I'm thinking about the 70 bucks I need is all I'm thinking about the back of my fucking head It's like well get over it man finish your show because it's not good and not to this is but that's not the back of your mind No, that's front. That's a good point This is definitely what it's like to Spend time with Aaron be his friend anything. This is what he does to get his way. It's very John like he's just pouting

Oh, I'm so upset like you said I wish somebody would do something to fix my mood. They would just do it. All this would be done, but they won't. We're checking the rumble rants checking that it's just not happening. We do speculate what it's like to be in a relationship with this asshole. It's got to be brutal. Just nonstop. He's so needy. You don't exist. He says whatever he wants he talks about it's just it must be impossible Can he pull 200 people to stonies for one of his events? I'd be shocked that's an impressive number for a comedy show and wherever that is, Minnesota It's that's a good number. We didn't happen last year for his time. They won't happen this year So why does he say this? Why can't he just be a human being and throw a golf tournament?

Why does it always have to be the greatest golf tournament anyone's ever seen? They're all bad at it. I'm the greatest at it. Like your dad throws a golf tournament. Like how'd it go? We had a low turnout. Really? Yeah.

Well, better luck next year. I might not do it next year. Oh, you should. That's it. It's not like I'm the greatest superhero in the world. Can't he just do things? Everything's not a win for the fucking toe. Some things are just a golf game. What you just described, Adam, would solve most of his problems. Because the reason why

there's all these shows, that Shulie's completely on board now, and there's all these shows that just do nothing but clip this guy and make fun of them is because of what you just said. He has to bring everything to these extremes that he's the best. He's a broadcaster up there with Bubba and Anthony Kumia. He's in the top three broadcasters of all time. He has said that. And when he talks about his golf tournament, it's going to be easy and it's going to be thousands of dollars and everything that he does is going to be this huge event. He's an amazing boxer. He's an amazing boxer who's never won a boxing match It's like dude. Just fucking humble yourself a little bit. Just be realistic about yourself relax over there, but actually don't please don't Double down

You got this you're the best So I kind of yeah, it's kind of a bummer. What do we have here? Oh yeah. See, this is, uh, Eric asking me to read this to you guys and see what you think. Um, tonight you were talking about this year's golf event and not filling spots. Try this way next year with people playing their own ball next year. Try a scrambled best ball. I think you'll get more teams because it's a shotgun start. It's best ball with each a group of four. You buy two teams on each hole to keep it honest. I'm an avid golfer. I golf multiple scrambles. Yeah, I don't want to, but that's my thing. So this is interesting and I don't know a ton about golf tournaments, but I've been a part of organizations

that have put them together before. And this is how you do a golf tournament. Because it brings in people who don't necessarily play golf a lot and Gives them a chance to participate because you're doing best ball with your grouping So, you know, you can kind of slack a little bit and he won't be too detrimental to the thing It sounds like this idea makes sense and it sounds like he's trying to find a way out of it Oh, he hates it. He hates it. I Golf multiple scrambles. Yeah, I don't want to but that's my thing. I don't want to organize that I don't want to organize that. You know, I don't want to organize that.

I don't want to do it. I'm not interested in it. I hate fucking best ball. That's what I'm saying. Like the way I'm organizing it, I'm organizing it the way I would want it. And that's selfish. And that's not fair to the people in the tournament. So I'm doing this one time because people asked me to do it.

Now, this is amazing too, because we just watched in March where he's going, yeah, I could do this. I'm doing this one time because people asked me to do it. I'm doing this one time because people asked me to do it. I'm doing this one time because people asked me to do it. Now, this is amazing too because we just watched in March where he's going, yeah, I can do this. It'll be **** awesome. It's going to be great

and now he's going, guys, you told me to do this. I mean, I think he got like a couple people to donate where he goes, shall we do a golf tournament and then you got like, you know, a couple hundred bucks. He's just like, alright, we're doing

a golf tournament. It's all thanks to sway him is just to donate some money. Oh, that's why it's quite easy. Right. And it hasn't even happened yet. And he's already talking about, we're not doing this again. Yeah. I'm done. One and out.

This is great. The turnout is not going to be awesome. And next year, I think I'll just fucking I'll go golfing on my own time. With your money. He's already pouting about it. Yeah. I guess I'll just go golfing without any of my friends.

I need you guys. There's gonna be at least 200 people there. It'll be fine. Not that it's bad. I love it. I think it's gonna be a lot of fun and it's gonna be great. I don't like organizing it. Oh wow. Somebody just kicked it in his head. He's like, you sound like you're taking it out of here, Aaron. Watch out. No, no, no. It's what I wanted to have happen. He can't help himself. You're right. I gotta back that up again.

That's fucking funny. I don't care. It's gonna suck. Good shit. Out is not gonna be awesome. And next year I think I'll just fucking, I'll go golfing on my own time. Not that it's bad.

I love it. I think it's gonna be a lot of fun and it's gonna be great. I don't like organizing it. I don't like worrying if there's gonna be enough people or what the prizes are gonna be or any of that shit You mean organizing it As they said it was easy Yeah, we said I don't know why people say this is so hard. This is what they're thinking about These are the things must you learn your every lesson the hard way

Because on top of that while he was doing this bit He was reading from his phone in his hand live on the screen Aaron if I were you I just wouldn't do that anymore Yeah, show you've learned something don't be on your phone while you're on your show and don't hold it up to the camera This guy who knows about how to actually throw a successful golf tournament says blah blah blah blah fuck this guy Okay, cool People or what the prizes are gonna be or any of that shit It's just especially when you're organizing the anniversary like I feel like it's taking my attention away from coming up with stuff for the anniversary party, so

I'm doing it once because the audience you know demand they asked for it. They wanted me to do it, so I'm doing it once because the audience you know demand that they asked for it. They wanted me to do it So I said, okay, we're trying it once. I don't think as many of you responded as you thought you would and So it's kind of like one of those things. Well, yeah, Aaron. We really want this I think what you wanted was more you wanted me to do it. Yeah, they were fucking with you and fail Yeah, yeah, yeah You got it. Aaron, the people in your chat who don't give you money are fucking with you. And some of the people who give you money are fucking with you. Also, they're trying to set you up for failure.

And Aaron's going, so you guys all act like you wanted the golf tournament and no one's signing up for it. It's like, yep. That's correct. You will not connect those dots though. I think you're intentionally being obtuse. I think you're avoiding the fact that he clearly said, this is our fault. This is all the fans' fault. It's all of his fans' fault. And they need to own up and take responsibility. I think it's time for them to step up and realize that

so Aaron can have none of it. Good point. And the best way to take responsibility, folks, is to send me money. Or you wanted me to do it I don't think you wanted it as much as you wanted it to be like an option So to speak does that make sense? I'm not explaining it the way I feel about it But it's like I think you liked the idea of me doing it more than you actually were like

Yeah, I really want to fucking do it. So I'm glad that of me doing it more than you actually were like, yeah, I really want to fucking do it. So I'm glad that we're doing it one time. I'm glad that we're doing a cool, fun hangover thing after the anniversary show. I don't know if it's something I want to do again, though. I'll be honest. Oh, nine Canyon says I hate doing stuff. So now he's trying to guilt people into it by being like, well guess what? No golf tournament next year

So if you want to be in a golf tournament, you got to sign up for this one that's the only one we're ever gonna do and Like like all of almost all of the things he accuses his fans of that's you Aaron I think it was you that liked the idea of shitting on people for not being able to pull off a simple task like you could and ragging on them and pretending that you're superior with something you wanted to do more than you really wanted to throw a golf tournament. Isn't that true? Isn't that what we're saying?

Aaron wants to make a bunch of money from his listeners and play golf on Sunday. It's all the other shit he doesn't like. Actually organizing it, getting people to purchase tickets, figuring out the logistics of it, getting the prizes together. Hates all that. I was talking with a friend about narcissists over the weekend. She was talking about her accident, how he thinks that going to therapy is something he has to win. How's he doing? Is he wedding? is something he has to win. How's he doing? Is he winning? No! Because she says he would have to completely reset himself and like give up everything.

Just start over. And I don't think Aaron could possibly not be manipulative. I don't think it's in his nature. No, it's definitely not. He could try and he would still be manipulative He talks about from time to time how he's a really good salesperson when he worked at the radio station He sold his own advertising. So he was a morning host who was also the sales rep for the station and I could see why he'd be a good salesperson. He's always pushing I was selling you always selling and

He turns that into a show format, which is hilarious. Yes. It's very funny to watch. Another win for us. Yes. Aaron, 2025. That's not true. That's not true at all. I don't hate doing stuff.

I love doing the cornhole tournament. I hope everybody, I hope hundreds of people show up on Saturday afternoon and do the cornhole tournament. I listen to this. This is some weird math. A team in cornhole, if I'm not mistaken, is two people. One person behind this board, the other person behind that board. And you throw. So it's a team of one actually. No, it's two. Okay, there's two people behind each board, but I got one team, you know, please good So you just said I hope hundreds of people show up wasn't this I think that would be fucking awesome You know, I think we had like 13 teams last year. I'd love to see 16 teams this year. That would be really cool

Another goal That's not even close to over a hundred people. We just described 26 last year So arbitrary I'd love to see 16. Yeah But it's yeah as far as the golf thing goes I Just don't want it to take away from everything else alright enough enough of me talking about the golf shit, and thank you very much, Eric I appreciate that, but I want to knock out this 70 bucks. I hate having goals again. It's the fucking worst I knew I would get used to this Rusty grammar says Aaron. Thank you. What a rough

Rough evening. He was having last night, and what is it? He wants to get back to exactly. I'm so confused What is this all keeping him from doing? What's the sweet spot? Can I explain what he means by that? Please you giving him a ton of money so does not to beg for money anymore That's it. That's what it is when he when he talks about that He's like I loved last week when I was already giving all the money I needed for that show and to beg for money That's what he's talking about It's like one of those old 900 numbers where you'd call for like phone sex or something

But you never quite get like this thing he keeps saying but then when we pay him That's when the show is gonna start this thing is never happening this show. He's talking about Very isolated in Long Island. Well, maybe you can be on You'll Remember the 90s and talk about it with those guys. I would love to. Redbar recently received a gift from Aaron Imholt and opened it on the show. Josh Denny fan shout outs for your work on the Aaron Imholt Red Scare prank. Yeah. Okay. So numero uno Josh Denny fan is the man that they're pointing out here at the beginning of this clip. Props on the Red Scare prank. Red Scare podcast is a show that we've covered on this show before.

It's these women who are they call them the dirt bag left. But anyway, it's a very political show and it's pretty out there. And so I guess somebody told Aaron that they were talking about Steel Toe on their show and Aaron pretended that he heard it and was proud of it. Yes, it was great. He got Aaron to believe that he was the topic of a red scare episode and Aaron went out of his way to post about it pretending that he had listened to it and that he loved the coverage They had never talked about him ever That's hilarious

Wow, that's fantastic if true big of true. So you know it's really busted and a big whopper there speaking of Aaron we got a Rather interesting gift in the mail. Wow, there's a lot of stuff in here And I am yeah save this packaging. That's nice That out of there So you could you could tell Mike David from red bar is already goofing on this it just came in a big Styrofoam yeah, I'm a good time nice package. I gotta save that so it's already some sarcasm going on But alright, let's watch this. Let's let's see if he's enjoying this gift or not. Did I read the letter first? Yeah, I guess Dear

David's wow Dear David's wow Especially jewels it says this is from Aaron Thank you so much. See how he's reading it like he'd be reading to a child who got a letter from Santa He says you producer Chris Remember when Gary told stuttering John or Gary's wife said we're all so jealous of you John right same thing much for your generosity Nearly a year ago. I am so sorry that I forgot about Jules's tank top

I heard about your recent death in the family all of us here at steel toe We're very sad to hear of chulas passing We're very sad to hear of Chula's passing Eat the clen We hope this gift package will help this is almost as low-level as Denny saying the premonition It's also weird that he's acting like steel toe is this entity I don't know if it's just him and slamlam Piece put this together or something like us from Steeltoe What's you and Johnny on Mondays? What do you mean us from Steeltoe? And the gals at the home office and the production department

There's none of that. All the interns. Accounts payable To Carl feel free to name the dog and use the coaster and stickers. Oh, that's nice. He gave the dog. Oh, sure. Our dog died and he got us a stuffed animal dog. This is from Aaron. This is not a bit.

We wish nothing but good things for the David family in 2025 and beyond. Red bar is an inspiration to us all. and beyond. Redbar is an inspiration to us all. Thank you, Aaron Emholt, Steel Toe Morning Show. P.S. Patrick Melton is a fat, hacky M.A.P. Okay, now, Redbar has been going after Melton for many years, long before Melton was on anyone's radar in this world. And so Aaron is using this to be like, hey, we're on the same team, right? Because you hate Patrick Melton and I hate Patrick Melton. And so he sends this letter that includes a Stoney's, what do they say tank top for Jules?

Jules really wants a Stoney's tank top, I'm sure. That's great great gift a stuffed dog Because their dog died Not I don't think that's appropriate coasters Well, we're gonna Aaron's take on this but first I do want to play this real quick as jewels did acknowledge this show oh Carl will get on his show and be like oh, ha ha ha ha, we have a goal too, as if it's so stupid to have a goal.

And they're doing a goal. And they're taking advantage of these old ladies. Yes, they're making fun of Aaron, but they're just taking $50, $100, $20. They make- Is that true? $50? I'm looking over here at the board. People could be doing better.

Anyway, Patrick Melton already addressed this, but I'll just say it real quick. We do the goal thing on this little piggy, the show that makes fun of Aaron for that reason, because we're making fun of Aaron, so we pretend there's a goal, but we're not counting the numbers, and we don't really have a goal,

and I never say it on this show. So not quite the case. Anyway, we just saw how that gift package was received. Watch the way that Aaron spins this. I guess like his audience about it. I can't wait. Don't bother watching it. I'll just tell you what happened. So, I want to thank Redbar. Redbar gave us a shout out during his show the other day. I watched the clip of it. Numero uno sent it to me. I really appreciate it. He so Numero uno Josh Jenny fan, the same guy who fooled Aaron into thinking that red scare was talking about him is the same person who sent him that clip. So he's manipulating

all of this and dummy Aaron is going on. This guy's great. He sent me this clip. Isn't this awesome? Getting a shout out. Sent it to me. I really appreciate great. He sent me this clip isn't this awesome getting a shout out sent it to me I really appreciate it. He opened our gift package on the air and He was actually very touched by the dog gift He was very touched by a stuffed animal You know when he was patronizingly be like oh look at we got a dog jewels Another win one of the idiots animal you know when he was patronizingly be like oh look at we got a dog Jules another win what an idiot because they lost their dog Chula this year there was the stony's tank top for Jules it was really nice of them I was like I'm

watching it almost through one eye at the beginning going oh god what do you wait till he starts shitting on us yeah yeah it was a meat that was the first thing he did was call you out for being a phony It was the very first thing that happened to that clip and Mike David was all compliments for the toe Nice, and I really appreciate that It's insane This is he believes that does he he can't they're obsessed about me. He can't be that stupid

It's not possible. Maybe. He's obviously, but thank you to Mike David for the kind words. He also pointed out, he's like, Steele Toe's the most honest guy in this business. He has a goal, you hit the goal, you stop. He goes, all these other shows, just taking suckers' money over and over, just taking all these,

he said old ladies' money and stupid people's money and all this stuff. We have an intelligent audience. We go, hey, here's the number. Get there. Stop. If I'm if I'm Johnny Crutch, I'm like, he was joking, obviously, right? You **** idiot. Yeah but we might get money out of this so I'll be quiet. Yeah like even Johnny Crutch is hearing Aaron explain how Mike David was gushing over them would be like,

well, that doesn't sound right. I should probably go check this out for myself. Because it's all just the opposite. And Adam, you think Aaron knows. Aaron's a smart guy, right? He knows what really happened. I don't think he does. But you said it earlier.

You said he first sent this because of something he didn't see, he was just told about. Right? You would never do that. That's why we're here. We don't trust anyone else but our own eyes and ears on important things. So I would never trust somebody saying this was just said about you, oh, let me not check it and send a gift. You would only do that if you don't trust your own take on things, which is John. He can't form opinions until other people have them first. He sees it and he doesn't know.

We've seen him asking, are they making fun of me? Is this me? He doesn't know. So this, he's too sensitive. He's blinded. He doesn't want to watch it. If he can convince himself that it was good, then he just will and run with it and stick with it.

I think he's holding on to it because he can't process the other. I really do. Wow. That's sad. It's really sad. If I we played a clip of Mike David talking about giving me money, like very tongue in cheek is like, let's win Carl over on our team. Let's let's start manipulating him.

And we played on the show. I was just like, oh, this is amazing. Mike's going to start giving us money. This is so, this is amazing. Mike's gonna start giving us money? This is so fantastic. But that's exactly what Aaron is doing right here. This is great. That was when you fired the entire staff. Yes, I'm like, I got, me and Mike David,

we're gonna do this together from here on out. You're so desperate for a win, you block out anything that's not just undeniable to everyone that sees it as a loss. If it's not an undeniable loss, we're going to etch out that win. All right, let's talk about Karmic Axe, a guy we don't talk about a lot on here. I'm not sure what my opinion is on Karmic. Sometimes he's brilliant. Sometimes he says things like, that's interesting. And then 98% of the time, what the fuck is this guy rambling out about?

But he gets a question about Stuttering John, what he thinks about Stuttering John. Stuttering John was the master of asking questions that were written primarily by Jackie Martling and Fred Norris. But Stuttering John had the balls to say, fuck his own career, mind you. And shit on all these celebrities in these massive fucking name, industry names. So I agree. And the very first time we ever covered Stuttering John,

that was the first thing I said. I'm a fan of Stuttering John. He had some amazing interviews. I played some examples of interviews that I enjoyed. And so you can't take that away from him with his role on the Howard Stern Show, especially with the celebrity interviews that he was doing. What I disagree with from McCarvic just said

is he was like, fuck it to his own career. He was an unpaid intern. When he first started doing these celebrity interviews, he was just the stunt boy who had nothing to lose. So it wasn't like John was mixing it up in Hollywood. No, he's never gone after anything. And then they're like, hey, can you like insult some of these people? He's just like, ah, I don't know.

They're my friends. It's like that was never the case. John likes it to sound like it was his bit and that he came up with it since he's been doing it since childhood. He came there with this bit, and that's what he brought to the Stern Show. Not that that's how they utilized an intern. But I do appreciate that Carmich knows the history of this. He has questions written by Fred and Jackie and he had balls to go

up and do that and ask those questions. A lot of the part that was funny about it was the fact that he couldn't spit the question out. Right. It wasn't necessarily sometimes it was the reaction by the celebrity and other times it was just John stammering. He was so nervous. Helped get him in there. Right. Yeah. But all of these morning shows have stunt boys who do the stammering which helped nervous helped get him in there right yeah but all of these morning shows have stunt boys who do stupid shit Howard Sturges was a much bigger show with a bunch of bigger audience so I don't know that

there's a stunt boy on another show that isn't more talented or interesting some of them write their own stuff like triumph or Borat or they don't think those are stuff I hear you say. I don't know that Karmic understands what this word means. So I think when he Stutter and John got that offer to be on the Tonight Show, that must have been like a golden fucking parachute to the guy because he went to places against Hollywood, against celebrities, against big names and everything. A golden parachute, you know what that refers to? It's when you're like the CEO of a company or you have a high position and you fuck up and they have to remove you from the company but

they give you a huge payout. All right, man You're out of here, but here's a ton of money and go away. That's a golden parachute It's not going from one job and getting promoted to another position somewhere. Anyway, am I being too nitpicky? I'm just one. No, no, it's a theme where he thinks he knows what he's talking about But he actually has no idea and I'm a big fan of his like freeform poetry and just the idea of comics. But he tries to be so bold and daring that sometimes you go so far out there, you go back to the beginning and you're actually square and wrong. He's trying to be bold by saying, everyone's wrong about stuttering John. He's really, but he gets it all wrong, doesn't understand what he's talking about.

And he doesn't really even mean it. We've been here longer, Carmich. He tries to sound very intelligent. And he does not, and he doesn't know that, and that's embarrassing because he knows some words from books, you know? He reads this dictionary and he thinks that gives him a vocabulary, but it doesn't. It doesn't. Um, surely has no right to question stuttering John. Neither does Carl. These are two piss and motherfuckers. Surely and Carl, they're piss ants. They're weak. They have nothing.

No gravitas. So when they discuss other men, I just look at them and say, who gives you the right to discuss what a man is? I think the irony might be lost. You didn't tell me you had no gravitas. I'm sorry. I was trying to pull the wool over your eyes. The only thing I would say to Karmic on this one is that I've never cried on my show. Karmic on this one is that I've

never cried on my show. Yeah. Cries on a regular basis and he's saying that I'm not a man but alright. Sure. And you know how to sit upright. You know how to sit upright. Pretty good at that. But. Yeah. He might be onto something, you know. Who's

who am I to say? So then he brings up seeing Suttering John on Pat Dixon's show a couple of years ago and this is an interesting theory that he has. It was like talk. It was like actually an interview going on with a normal human being. So I seen that side of John and I'm kind of like, yeah, he's playing it up just for. Get under, get on Shulie and Carl's easy to grasp radar, which is

very low hanging fruit, mind you. So I feel Stutter and John plays into it and these fucking losers Stutter and or Shulie and Carl, they eat it up. Oh, we got to talk about Stutter and John. Fucking Carl, they eat it up. Oh, we gotta talk about stuttering John. Fucking Carl, you suck. You're a piss-out loser, man. Who told you that, Rob Saul? Who's talking to this guy? He's giving the 411 on me. This is ridiculous. If anyone actually saw the interview of John with Pat Dixon, you would think Carmichael is a fucking moron. That is not what happened at all in any way.

You have no idea what you're looking at and I defy you to show me a moment, create a moment where Stuttering John turns it off for you and you get to see the real person. Ask him to not do any of those stupid things for a minute straight on the air. He's incapable of it. Ask him to not do any of those stupid things for a minute straight on the air. He's incapable of it.

Wait, so Adam, you're saying this theory that Carmich has that John is being a buffoon on purpose because it's a trap that he's setting for Shuli and me to then play clips of his show and make him an even bigger star is not true? Even though he ran off the internet away from us because he couldn't take it anymore? Like maybe Carmich's entire argument is moot Not only that but how would it benefit John for you and Shulie to make a very good living off of? Embarrassing him and not being able to stop it for years. I know you're trying to be like Anarchistic, you know, but you just sound like an uninformed loser. I appreciate the the that you think you're at like an open mic poetry slam.

And you just got to like fill this thing with a lot of words. And as long as people hear, you know, something obscene every 30 seconds, they'll keep watching. But you don't make any fucking sense. I haven't heard it take that dumb since, well, two days ago and quad was out. It's the same shit. And he'll do the same thing. He'll come on a rail about the same stuff. He'll have no points. There'll be nothing to back it up,

but a low register and some random pretty words. Well, it gets even more nasty. You really, the fuck are. You just don't equate to what a real man is, I'm afraid. As I fix my hair. But that's my opinion on Carl. Just a subhuman fucking sludge trying to do good. His audience are composed of subhumans too.

Jesus. Is that true, guys? No, it's actually old ladies. You learned from the last clip. They're all old ladies. No, that's NLO as the old ladies. Oh, okay. I thought there was a crossover. There might be.

Yeah. So we have a subhuman army. That's kind of cool. That is actually kind of cool. Yeah. It's kind of bad. Let's do something with it. Why don't you say something bad about KB, Carmich?

Why don't you try saying something bad about KB and we can learn how fucking bold and daring and how you don't Really give a shit about anything right do that. I think he's choosing sides here. I don't see that at all I'm sure he's a man of morals who would never just let his opinions be swayed because he thinks someone is a father figure Because he gives you $100 every two weeks. It's odd to me when people think they know who an audience is I haven't even wrapped my head around that. I've done like eight live shows. Yeah, we've met them. 10 live shows or something like that at this point. I can't even figure out these people are. Shocking. He's got it. I'll figure it out. This is my favorite. This is the last clip. This is my favorite one. So fuck Carl. Fuck Shuley. And the horse they rode in on on They can't ride a horse either. Oh Suck see what I'm saying Got us you can teach him to fish but you can't fish for a day Give a man a horse and he'll won't remember his name great episode man. You killed it. That was awesome

Now play some doors underneath there and we'll really get bad ass fuck you and the you rode it out. You came in to ride a horse. That is true. Actually I've been accused a lot of things, you know failed digital marketer a smile talker Never accused up be able to ride a horse before that's a new one for me, but you can't even dressage He's a pro sports. I didn't know that are you do you a horse rider? No, no, I'm not an equestrian car, so that would have made me sound more intelligent probably so My kids are horse riders Oh, uh, my kid's a horse rider. Hold on a second. Can I just, can I defend myself real quick? Sure. I spend all fucking day pulling clips from OP, Stunnery John, Melendez, Brendan Schaab.

I'm gonna be dumber. Okay. It's gonna happen. It does rub off on you. It does. It's not great. You know, it is great. Babble, babble, babble.

That's right. Greg Opie Hughes, former intern to Stephanie Miller, as we learned earlier in the program today, starts off his show. He's at the beach and you know what he wants to do. He wants to give us a weather report. Finally, the clouds moved through and we had a fine beach day yesterday, but it got a little crazy before we get into it. Let's say hi to Jerry Shepardini. He's becoming a regular on my live stream. What's up, Jerry?

How are you? And yes, he did start with singing, but I can't play it every time. It's always the singing and then the weather report. Just wanted to give you that. So things got a little Crazy, that's a nice tea. That's a nice tease cuz opi came with a story today. He doesn't do this very often He actually has something to talk about and he starts off talking about this crazy day. He had the day before So yesterday was was quite the day man quite the day I I'm a little left up. I'm not gonna lie to you

When you get a big shot of adrenaline going through your body it kind of messes you up for the rest of the day, right? right We were having just a just a normal beach day my My kids wanted to go swimming. so I went in with my kids. The waves are big, but usually you kinda pay attention to the waves, like, all right, the kids can handle this. I don't see any rip tides, although rip tides

are very, very mysterious. Sometimes you don't see them and they're there. And I was swimming with my kids and something about the waves, I was like, you know what, I don't like how these things are breaking something was just didn't seem right So I actually told my kids to move in a little bit so they could handle the ocean I've always told my my kids since they were like very very little You got to respect the ocean

Don't ever turn your back on the ocean Life lessons from Greg he's still messed up from the shot of adrenaline he had yesterday yes could you imagine like you got the next day and you're like yesterday was so it's such a wild day I'm still fucked up from it supposed to be a crazy thing that happened I better have my coffee I'm very excited about this. He's looking for riptides I'm not sure but you kids come over here Respect that ocean don't turn your back on how they've been disrespecting the ocean What have they been doing probably throwing cans in there and stuff out of that shit? No, that's not good. So

This is where the story begins. This is where things start to get a little crazy. Out of the corner of my eye, I see these two kids to my left. They're about probably 100, 150 yards away from where we were swimming. They are just a little younger than my kids. I think it was like a 12- old boy and a 10 year old girl. And they're boogie board and they're having the time of their lives. But to boogie board, they got to be way out there.

And then they're bringing these waves all the way to the shore. And I'm like, man, that looks like fun. And I was thinking to myself, maybe we should get the boogie boards for later on in the day. Okay, the fact that opiate a thought of maybe I should get my boogie boards out is neither here nor there. Not necessary in this story at all. I think he just wanted to brag that he also owns a boogie board. Because what we're about to find out, there's nothing to do with whether or not he's going to go

boogie boarding later. But he spots these kids, the details I think are important. As we listen to this story, because I'm a little, I'm not sure about every detail in this. He spots these kids 150 yards away. That's a ways. And I assume he means down the beach, probably not all the way out, 150 yards out into the ocean, right? But I guess they're pretty far out, as he said, because they're catching waves.

So he sees the father of these kids, who does seem alarmed. So next thing you know, I see the father run down to the shoreline and he's in a panic. That's the first thing I saw. He's in a panic. I'm like, oh shit. These kids are the oh shit These kids are in a riptide the one girl The girl she let go of her boogie board. That's what I was like. Okay, this is a situation. This is a situation

Something I want to point out because we're just setting up the story right now with these clips because we're just setting up the story right now with these clips. Opie's almost talking normally. It's interesting that when you prep, when you have something to say, you don't feel the need to have that crutch of your silly voice. Yeah, the filler. You know, because he has to think he's trying to be entertaining, so he has to pronounce words wrong and do the voices, but now he actually has a story he wants to tell and he's kind of just explaining it like a normal adult would. Yeah, it's actually moving a story he wants to tell and he's kind of just explaining it like a normal adult would. Yeah, it's actually moving along, he's not repeating himself.

Right. Isn't that interesting? It's almost like maybe he should prep more often and the show would be better, but he won't wear that awesome. So the father seems alarmed, he's looking over, the dad's going, oh no, what's going on? And Opie's looking for those riptides again. Is there one of those riptides over there?

Bar-darn. That's how they show up. And opi's looking for those riptides again. Is there one of those riptides over there? That's how they show on the girl let go of the boogie board Yeah, now it's a situation that makes it a situation as we're going to learn about coming up. Have you watched this yet? No, okay. Good. I'm glad you're you're learning about this as we go So now opi's got a dilemma Because there's a situation does he get himself involved in this situation? When you see something where you're like, oh man, I got to get involved, you really start weighing like how much am I going to help? I got two small kids that I got to take

care of. I can't risk my life fully here, but let's see what I could do. All this goes through your mind. But I knew the kids were in trouble. I knew they needed a little help. I knew I could help a bit. Well, they're dead now. They're dead. They didn't make it. So I got on my boogie board. I looked at it and he goes, I can probably help a little bit. I think it whisked off into the ocean and whined whenever I tried Do whatever I could do, but I got kids of my own, you know Who are also in the ocean? This is yeah, it's it's this life-and-death thing that's going through his head as he's watching these kids on a boogie board and the dad seems

slightly concerned So now Opie makes that decision he's like no They need a hero. It's time. I started making a beeline for the kids. Um, because I can, I can handle the ocean. Not to brag, but I can, but I still respect it. You're specific.

Did anyone order a hero? Okay, so respecting the ocean, but also beel lighting through it in order to get to these kids. Now we find out what's going on with dad. Remember, they're in the Hamptons. So this dad's got some money and he's out at the beach looking good. He's like, I'll give you some money to get the fuck away from my kids. He's trying to impress while he's out of the beach. It's obvious they're getting pulled out further and further. It is an absolute riptide and uh I see that I I I see their father. He's dressed to the nines for

the beach. He's got the fancy designer fucking sunglasses on. He's got the latest uh iPhone. He's got fancy shoes. He's got a fucking probably a Rolex watch. He's just taking everything off before he goes into the ocean. He's just getting everything that's expensive off his body. And then he got down to where he was wearing something over a bathing suit. At this point, I'm already pretty close to getting you know, getting to the kids. And I, I yelled to him on shore. I go, you got to get in here now. Now.

Opi is taking over this operation. He is now managing it. He's going to coordinate who's doing what on this front. I love this idea. First off, expensive watches can go underwater. Yeah, it's fine. You don't have to take Yes. It's fine. You have to take off your Rolex You don't have to take off your phone either Also, you know your your shoes like everything is describing here is if this guy's obviously loaded it's fine But this guy said they're going I think my kids are dying. I'm gonna get this shirt off Just taking his time and you never actually described an outfit He just said he had sunglasses and a phone and a watch. But he was dressed to the nines.

Dressed to the nines. Dressed to the nines. Beach nines. It's a different type of nines. So Opie's out there is like, your daughter's already dead, but get in here and save your son. Well, yeah, this gets very interesting as Opie goes in to save the lives of these young children. eyes of these young children? I was able to get to the boy first and I just yelled to him like grab my hand because at

this point I'm still standing. Grab my hand. He's on a boogie board. I'm like I can pull you in. He was like some old dude telling me to grab his hand. I could see the thought process. I could see it. He's like 12 maybe 13 Okay couple things going on in this so this is this really dire situation that's going on where he's screaming at the dad get

In here these kids they need our help. Hope he's able to walk over to this kid He's like hey man, and the guy's like buddy. I'm good so the kids obviously not concerned Also, that's not my dad The kids not concerned Opie it's not that far out if Opie's walking over there just standing next to this kid out of a boogie board So already I'm going like how heroic was this? Adventure that he was on? And so yeah, he goes out to explain

He's he's losing the battle fast But he's gonna be okay. I don't want to I don't want to over Sell any of this he's gonna be okay because he's on a boogie board. Okay Right. Yeah, he's on a boogie board. He'll drift off. He'll end up somewhere in New Jersey. Somewhere nice. Maybe Maryland he'll be fine. He'll figure out his way. Find a new family start over again. All right so a minute ago Opie's screaming at the dad running out there worried about this kid and then he's just like but anyway he has a flotation device so I'm not that worried about it okay interesting and what about the girl who threw her boogie board away this is now the pressing matter what am I gonna do now the father he's in a complete panic he goes all the way out

to his son they're both way over their heads the waves are like like this and pulling out I Now go for the girl. I got her again. I'm like hold my hand hold my hand and we're holding we're holding steady We're holding steady, but I'm not I'm not making any progress to actually get her safely on shore Now I'm thinking of myself. All right, we can swim sideways because that's what you do in a rip current. You gotta swim sideways. Yes. Opie, yes. This is what you do. The current's taking you off to sea so you swim sideways parallel with the shore to get out of the riptide and then you're able to come back pretty easily. Opie

is now standing with this girl. The son is who knows standing with this girl holding her trying to work up against the tide and Now he realizes this guy respects the ocean He's been living in this property for all this time like oh there actually is a solution to this that I know about It probably should have Should have done that from the get-goer. Just yell to the kids like, hey, swim sideways. Before you go running out and yelling at the dad to, forget about the Rolex, there's no saving it. So yeah, Opie explains that he is still standing up.

But I'm holding steady with the girl. We're not going out because I'm kind of on my feet He's still standing there How dire is this that he's in the ocean holding this girl while he's standing up? Well now we find out what's going on with the father and son The guy and and and and his son they're just they're just fucking I mean they are so far out there. I'm like how did that happen so fast? He was right there in my grasp. So now I'm thinking to myself, this kid's got a flotation device.

As Opie mentioned, he'll be good. But he screamed at the dad to come running in, and now the dad has no flotation device, and he's got ripped out at the sea. This is your fault, Opie. Well, the dad doesn't sound smart either well Take an order. I don't know a lot about the day doors from a homeless looking stranger

I don't know a ton about the dad. I can't pass judgment that but I just thought that was interesting that all of a sudden like the Father in the center God like all right. It's just you and me now starting a new life. I'm your dad now. But this is obviously very traumatic for Opie because he starts thinking about life and death. And I'm like, how are we going to take care of this? How are we going to take care of this? I'm starting to think, oh my God, this is a situation. Then I start thinking about my kids and my wife. And I'm like, how, how,

how much help do you do before you're risking your own life? That's what, that's what went through my head the entire day yesterday after this went out. So now Opie is thinking about like, well, am I going to risk my life to save these kids? Or do I go, I did everything I can do. All right, see ya. Good luck with everything. I'll sell your Rolex. Nice meeting you producer Chris has to go Producer Chris is out Bye producer Chris. I'm gonna miss out on the new game. Shut up. I know it's very upset about was he not respecting the ocean What did he do?

Yeah, apparently somebody cut the Cable lines coming into his house house so he has no internet. And so he has to go home and figure that out. Well, okay, this is very scary. Opie standing in the ocean holding onto a girl wondering whether or not he should just let her go because he's got kids of his own and the father and the son are way out into the ocean. Who knows if they'll ever come back.

But thank goodness things turn. I swear to you at this point, the Calvary was coming down the beach. It was a golf car type vehicle like a an ATV with four or five. I think it was four, four studs of lifeguards. There were two girls, two guys, they had the surfboard, they had the thing with the yellow rope. He really paints a picture, doesn't he? I feel like I was there. It's amazing, that thing with the yellow rope.

Yeah, so the lifeguards have arrived, thank goodness for that. And because Opie, right before this, was thinking, I'm just going to let these people go, right? Because I don't want nothing to do with this. I have shit to do tomorrow. I got to do my stream in the morning. So thank goodness they showed up.

So I hold on to the girl until the lifeguards get in the water. They got to the girl quickly because we weren't that far out. OK. Again and like the way he's explaining this was like this doesn't sound like a big deal at all you just walked sideways got away from the riptide be fine the only explanation for this is that this father called the lifeguards and the coastal police to deal with this man that's harassing his kids in low tide. Actually what happened was, because he says it's a private beach and there isn't public beaches that close, is the mom

was there too witnessing the dad and the son go whisking off into the ocean so she ran down and got the lifeguards who then drove down to help out. I don't know if it's revealed at the end. You tell me if it is. But where have his kids been? His adult children? The kids, his kids are already out of the ocean at this point. How convenient. Yes. OK. Not helping.

He's like 18, 16. How old are these kids? They're very, they're almost adults. Yeah. Yeah. I think they're almost adults. Yeah Yeah, I think they're like 14 15 and maybe 12 or something like that, right kids trying to see it Well, he's gonna drown. I don't care. Good to see you. Bye. Have fun dad Well, he acted like he needed to be out there with his kids Before when they wanted to go swimming. That's how this whole story started. I don't know Yeah, I don't it seems odd to me too. But what do I know?

That's how the soul story started. I don't know. It seems odd to me too, but what do I know? All right, and then opi complains that he's the only person who's a good samaritan out there. I go into shore And then they get a rope around the uh, the father and the son And now we got a lifeguard on the shoreline like trying to pull the yellow rope in She obviously needs help. I'm looking up and down the beach. This is what pissed me off if you want to know the truth. I'm looking up and down the beach. I'm like, are any of you anyone else going to help here? So now I jump because I guess

people think like, well, this is official business. I shouldn't get involved. Blah, blah, blah. But the the girl lifeguard was struggling trying to pull these people in from the water. So I jumped on the rope Oh, you live in the hamptons These people don't do anything. They don't help themselves. They're not lifting a finger. Of course, they're not rushing into the water to help He did what bring in officer opi to my right now you fly by the seat of your pants You gotta follow these rules. You can't just keep but the children. don't play by the book Sarge. You got to understand that about me When are you gonna play by the rules? I get results. It matters how we do it the process matters, Opie

He's like gosh I'm so upset cuz I was concerned about my life and I have a family to take care of, but even more concerned about these jerk neighbors I have who can't let the fucking figure it out these people. And then we find out how dire this actually was. The father just collapses on the shoreline and literally didn't get up for about 15 or 20 minutes. He was heavy breathing, heavy breathing. I personally think this is where it gets a little grim. I personally

think if the lifeguards didn't make it, I don't know if the father would have made it. And whose fault would that have been? Adam, he just explained that if not for the mom being nearby and seeing this and running and getting the lifeguards, that the father would have died at the ocean. And the last thing the father would have heard is, get in here! Let's go! That's crazy. And Opie never acknowledges that. As he goes through this entire story, he never once says, maybe I shouldn't have told the dad to run in since the kid has a boogie board.

He could float. I got the daughter. It's fine. Maybe I just shouldn't have gotten involved. Maybe I should have been paying attention to my own kids. I mean, I'm giving him credit for being the hero that none of us deserve. But again, he reiterates that the son would have been fine. If you're on a floating device and you're in a rip current, fucking stay on the goddamn floating device. Who cares if you're way out they'll get you They'll get you unless you're on some crazy isolated beach. They'll get you you're safe on the boogie board Again, this is why you should not have yelled to the father

you know running into the riptide and Why was he wrestling about what to do for so long when all he should have done is just say, hey, hold on to that board, you'll be good. Yeah, or swim sideways. Swim sideways, go that way, yeah. Swim sideways, you'll get out of it, you'll be fine. Relax, stay calm. That's the other thing too.

I was doing some research on this, because I don't know if you know this, I don't spend a ton of time in the ocean, but I was doing a little bit of research on this, and the very first thing they tell you when you're in a riptide. Just stay calm So you don't need like a maniac sprinting out to the ocean screaming at your dad get in here. Let's go Yeah, that's gonna cause some panic. I would think of these kids. Oh you want to escalate the situation All right After this story Opie talks about how you know when he's in New York City, when he's in Manhattan, he sees old people fall all the time. He never wants to help them because then it's a whole thing.

He doesn't want to deal with it. He just, he kind of limps over until someone else does it. Okay, good. They're good. Well, we're in the Hamptons. We can assume what kind of people these are. But this is like Opie's proud of himself for getting himself involved because he never does that.

And this is the last clip I have on here I'm like you know Wouldn't there have been a point where I would have had a like let go of the the girl's hand That's what is freaking me out today. Is there a point I would have had to say look I Gotta let go cuz I gotta save myself So Opie's all messed up by the fact that I had to say, look, I gotta like go because I gotta save myself. So Opie's all messed up by the fact that, wow, if this had lasted a little bit longer,

he would have been like, all right, well, good luck to you. Bye. Gotta go. Good luck with this. That's a crazy thing to think. He's come to face with his own mortality through helping others. You know, it's a byproduct of being a good Samaritan. I suppose. This never happened.

This didn't happen. I was with you in the beginning because you were right. His voice was different. And I was like, oh, he's speaking from somewhere else. But if you notice, by the end, he's back to closer to his regular voice, because I think this is something that happened. He either saw happen or happened years ago when his kids were kids

and he's then embellishing on this story and doing a what I wished I had done thing. Because you know in any interrogation when you give too many details it seems like you're lying and he's just too, it sounded like a police interrogation, 100, 150 feet, I think he had an iPhone Max Pro with a gray cover. And like nobody. Why are you giving all these details?

And the way he talked to his kids, again, he talks to them like they're little kids. Like, let me teach you about the ocean. When you're 14, they're not looking for you to. They live in that house their entire lives. They spend every summer there. Like, dad, we know, we know. We get it. They know swimming. They've got that down, right? So I don't know what he's talking about and they mysteriously disappear and then of course, he's a hero

I also the victim and and I will say I didn't pull I pulled clips So I didn't have the whole thing He does talk about his kids coming out of the ocean and that's when he realizes so okay did he did address that? and that's when he realizes so he did he did address that. This is something that either happened a long time ago, and he's building on or he's just making up because I'll tell you this and I'll do it with a I did get a text from Anthony this week about this, because he's also enthralled with this story. And so I asked him his

take on it. And he seems to think that this is all wildly exaggerated I Would think so When you hear because you like you said there's all these details to try to make it sound like it was like more Incredible than it was but then when you find out all he did was like grab this kid He's just standing in the ocean and the kid goes away and then grabs the girl. He just stands there with the girl Didn't sound it was the same thing with the phone store. You realize he just went to the phone store.

That's what happened and his mind is racing with all these things. It took a while for the dad to switch over because he didn't have his password. But he turns it into a stand-up set where they're quitting and fighting amongst themselves and he's this comedic genius and people are- They're going on break a half an hour before the store closes. And they're commenting on how funny he is and how he's getting off good ones. Everything's happening. Right? And what's wrong with his phone? No one's ever seen before like it's based on a real thing, and then he takes it. That's what this is

It's based on some nugget of truth that he's turning into this whole fucking thing It starts with truth and then as it gets more fantastical his voice gets higher and higher And he starts to sound more like his old self And he loses the thread like anybody who's really paying attention Points out because he's not paying attention and I gotta tell you since producer Chris left. This just feels right this feels good It feels good doesn't it like just it's free. It's not funny at all right. There's no jokes cuz Chris is gone There's no drops going out of the make it interesting and he's here. What's up, Annie? Oh? Hello. Hello, and Megan is here. What's happening Megan?

Hi Megan. Do you have your audio on I? Can't hear you All right. Well while you're playing with that Cardiff is here as well. Hello. What's up, Cardiff? Real how's it going? I have competition in the game department today. Yes, we have a new game that we're gonna be debuting. And let's get started with your game, Two Minutes with Tom.

And without producer Chris here, I'm a little bit nervous that we can pull this off. Fingers crossed. It's time for everyone's favorite you new game show two minutes with Tom What do you say ladies and gentlemen and Adam Bush? Are you ready to find the bomb playing two minutes? Your final comic of this evening has traveled all around the country. He's also done movies, television, and corporate gigs. He's also a PA announcer for the baseball tournaments.

Here's Tom Myers, ladies and gentlemen. I feel like movies should have come last in that sequence. TV movies and corporate gigs. You don't need the last one. The announcing of the baseball tournaments. Children's baseball tournaments. Yeah, whatever. Thank you.

Alright, we in a good mood? Yeah. Yeah, so I get to announce baseball games. That's pretty cool because I love baseball, I love sports. Everybody tells me I've got the body of an athlete. Figure skaters are athletes right? No, I love baseball. I can't really play baseball that well, but I take comfort in the fact that at least for now anyway, I could play better than what did Tom say next? Here are your choices

number one the eight-year-olds that I announce Be Lou Gehrig Oscar Pistorius as long as he doesn't get to wear those blades on his legs For Mariano Rivera As long as he doesn't get to wear those blades on his legs For Mariano Rivera and lastly Aaron Hernandez can maintain a friendship

Oh wow, okay, I went a whole different direction at the end I've no one to keep score. So I was gonna remember what they said and I won't I won't now I'm gonna go into chart if I'm gonna go with the eight the eight year olds that I announced only because it's been brought up twice now that he announces baseball games. So it would work in the context of it. And some of the other ones are way too funny. Adam, what do you think? I'm going to go with next just because it's so wordy. But I feel like four four I can just hear him saying that but I'm sticking with Oscars Pistorius yes nothing to do with

baseball and I believe lives in a country that doesn't play baseball what do you think Annie number four Mariana Rivera that's the joke What do you think? Can you hear me now? I can Great. I'm gonna go with number one just Because it it makes sense for him But lastly is hilarious If it is lastly I'm gonna give time credit because that would be a misdirect. And just for context, Carl Oscar Pistorius would have been all over the news at this time. Tom told this joke just for content. Okay, good to know. Two minutes with

now I love baseball. I can't really play baseball that well, but I take comfort in the fact that at least for now anyway, I could play better than Mariana Rivera. Jesus. I thought I had this one. Congratulations. Twice. Twice. All right. I got to figure out where he's going with us. All right. Let's, let's find out where he's going with us. And if any Yankees fans out there are offended I don't care

And quite frankly neither is anybody else so This episode is brought to you by patreon.com slash Cardiff electric and Cardiff electrics new YouTube subscribe today at Cartofilect Sit Eugene sit good dog Again I'll give it some context I think based on when this was published was around the time Mariano Rivera retired? It wouldn't make him a better baseball player than this guy! It doesn't make any fucking sense! He's the best relief pitcher! Anyway. It's a name he knows. It's so stupid to say that! When you retire from baseball, it doesn't mean you can't play baseball anymore.

I was looking to see if Mariano Rivera lost an arm. At some point. He just thinks the name has a funny rhythm. Yeah. Aw man. All right. Well, great game and congratulations to Annie for winning that. All right.

So we are going to debut a game now. I think the only, all right, well, Megan's running this. I kind of know what's going on this time, but I won't next time. So it's going to be Adam versus Annie versus Cardiff. And the game is this. Actually, do you want to explain it Megan? Sure. So as we all know Aaron likes to call things gay on his show so I decided to come up with a game with the help of Carl called Is It Gay? and we're gonna watch some steeltoe clips and see if he thinks that the topic that he's talking about, it's primarily chatters, asking him questions, at least the clips that I pulled.

But we're going to see if what he's talking about is gay or not. Yeah, so Aaron famously has has nothing except for calling things gay and Sometimes it's surprising the things that he considers to be gags. That's his only go-to and Yeah, I have to I have to cry foul here. Okay, I'm playing is it gay against the gay guy Adam comment yes You're referencing Aaron? All right, so, your only thing you have to decide is, is he gonna call this thing gay or not,

starting with this. Hobo chili recipe says, if you had to create a threesome with the ladies from The View, who's your two lucky ladies? I actually can answer that. It would be the tasty one on the end What is her name Alyssa

Griffin is it Whatever whatever name it her and the blonde bitch. I Shouldn't say bitch. She's probably a nice lady the blonde lady It's her name Sarah? I think Sarah and Alyssa are the two women from the view I would pick. And yes, I will admit, after that, I'd kinda have to go with Sonny Hostin

because otherwise it's Joy or Whoopi. All right, is that gay or not, Adam Bush? You know, how the fuck would I know what's Aaron's problem with joy and whoopee if you wanted to hear his take out the view you could watch his show he talks about a lot about I didn't even know the view is still on it was just funny that he immediately knew what the current lineup was. Yeah, he watches clips all the time. He's into it. Since he's talking about men having sex with women, I'm sure he'll find a way to make that gay. Annie, what do you think? Gay. Cardiff.

I'm gonna throw a curveball here like Mariano Rivera. I think joy straight whoopee gay. I think he breaks it down. Mostly through fastballs and change-ups, but I know. That's a good guess. Thank you. I just realized how fucking gay am I that I just named every single member of the views yet Sarah Haynes Alyssa Griffin Sonny Hostin Joy Behar Whoopi Goldberg. You know what guys I gotta go There's a rope and a sturdy beam calling my name Gayer than naming women Congratulations

Most of you got that correct Now you're understanding how this game works Let's go to the next. How come you never come on as associate producer Ralph Cardiff? It's not me. Yeah I never invite associate producer Ralph on to this show. Cardiff comes on this show. Okay, okay I'll go along with the conceit. I'm with you Give me tips says just had a grad party last weekend. This generation doesn't party like our generation. There was no drinking. Yeah, but isn't that still Gen Z?

We're talking about Gen Alpha. Gen Alpha might not be a bunch of fucking pussies. Gen Alpha might be based in awesome. Where's he going with this, Adam? What do you think? Is it gay? I'm gonna say yes to everything. Annie is a gay I'm going with the same strategy. Everything's gay. Cardiff? Not gay

Gen Z's gay Because the Millennials were kind of gay, but we're way straighter than Gen Z the millennials were kind of gay, but we're way straighter than Gen Z. This guy, I mean, you never know what he's going to do with Eric. Is he a millennial? That's why he's so talented. Is it? Yeah, he's a millennial, right? He's an alpha. Legally speaking. Legally speaking, he's legally a millennial.

All right, we got another round of Is it Gay? Listen closely. New guy says you drank Zima until 22 and were a pro wrestler. I mean when you put it that way and you call it Zima, I- Let's talk about Zima, Adam. Is it gay? You know, I don't know much about those kind of beverages. I'm just a simple caveman, but god it. It sounds like he's gonna say gay Annie It's definitely gay card if I think you're over too. I know but I think

Megan's throwing us one of those old Mariana Rivera curveballs here I mean it sounds pretty gay I mean, it sounds pretty gay. I love this game. The card is like really good at making gaze but terrible plague. That's much harder to play them. I'm glad we're all enjoying this. Yes. All right.

Well, let's find out this next one is going to be gay. So listen to the setup and decide for yourself. Is it gay? Eaton Clam says I feel the love in the chat today. It's gonna be a good show. It's gonna be a great show. God damn, this is a good one. What is this?

Oasis Vibe. So, Oasis Vibe Celsius. Adam, do you think Oasis Vibe Celsius is gay? Me personally? I haven't gotten to know it very well, but I have a feeling that when faced with a sparkling beverage, Aaron's gonna find that pretty gay. Annie? Was this on Rumble Friday? Was this on rumble Friday? This is from the 12th Oh, then it's definitely gay

Cardiff My arms across and I'm way back in my chair not gay. All right, let's go cars trying to get the board I'll see us Sparkling prickly pear lime edition. Of of course it's got a gay fucking name All right, we got one more I don't think card if you could win this well this this was worth five points Yes, I know around is worth five points right, so let's see if someone can make a move here This one's called golfing with your dick out. Golfing with your dick out. Let's find out. Is it gay?

First of all, do you think you're golfing with any chicks when you're doing this? No. Do you think that if you were golfing with any women and you were doing this, that somehow they would think, oh, that's really great. Oh man, I love that his dick's out while he's golfing. No, because all she's thinking is, did that pussy really not hit the ball past where I'm supposed to tee off? Okay. What do you think, Adam?

I can't think of something more masculine than golfing with your cock. He's just so slow, like everybody else speaks in his vernacular in his mind. They all have the same voice, even strangers. I'm going to have to say, by the way, he's selling this tournament really well. It's a really great job He's gonna find it somewhat gay you think it's gonna be gay Annie. I ask you is it gay It's definitely gay and I also bet he has one of those golf clubs that you can pee into They make those I was gonna say that's

What's that? Like one of those infomercial like stupid gimmick, but probably a real product things that you could buy You know like I guess if you had a bladder problem or something like that you could piss into the golf club trees are Yeah, I feel like it would screw up the weight, but anyway cardiff is it gay no Hey, Carter for the win here five points. Let's find out Did that pussy really not hit the ball past where I'm supposed to tee off so no matter what happens the whole thing is gay Can I explain the difference a game in a Here we all win

Herod just says zero creativity just everything turns out to be gay in his mind. Those are obviously taken from months and months apart. Two different episodes. Right, Megan? Months and months apart. It was three different episodes this month. All on Fridays? From different years?

No. Where are you going with this? I would say the last two weeks. All on Fridays? From different years? No. Where are you going with this? I would say the last two weeks. It's shocking how often he says this. Alright, he stinks. Supertip.gg slash W-A-T-P A.

It's like Asian Rob Saul, it's just always funny. For some reason it is. Drunk Engineer coming in. I'm killing it at this game. Being a homophobe from flyover country is finally paying off. See? This is a game for the whole family to enjoy. The Greater Good. Can we add Kelp and Legend dialogue to this game? We just did. That's more of a question for Megan than me.

No, I was writing down much Very good idea damn it sharp. Yeah, it is shark week isn't it? Yeah Why is that a thing? Because sharks are cool. No, I like sharks, but it's animal planet Just invented that and we all just go along with it like it's a real thing

The discovery well Valentine's Day is a real thing Carl. No, I agree. I've been telling my wife that for years Shark week's not a thing either. All right, we ready for voicemails? Yes. Let's hit some and get out of here. I was talking about how I used to play this game when I was younger called Smear the Queer. Hey, Carl.

Shows a lot of fun, but sometimes he learns stuff, too. Pay attention, kids. Carl brought up Smear the Queer. Look at his teeth and his legs. How do kids, Carl brought up smear the queer. Look at his teeth and his legs. How do you think he ended up like that? He got smeared a lot. So you know, don't be gay kids. You'd be a smile talking club footed cedar paneled basement son of a bitch.

Bye. Had nothing to do with the wood paneling in my basement, I can assure you that. Also, I don't wear a helmet when I ride my bike. So there's a lot of problems. And to defend Carl, at least his basement isn't covered in Star Wars anymore. That's true. That's been moved upstairs to the music room. Southwest story coming in, comments coming in.

Carl, you keep telling me this epic story of what happened with Southwest Airlines at the airport, and I can't find it anywhere. Don't tell me I gotta pay you on the paywall in order to find out what dissatisfaction you have with Southwest Airlines. I mean, I flew Southwest Airlines on Tuesday as well. It was out of Detroit. And yeah, there was a little bit of badness there. It wasn't all the best. It could have been better. But I need to know what exactly is your

problem with them. All right, tell me where I can find it. Bye. Anyway, if you are interested, it was the preamble on the Wednesday show last week on our YouTube channel. I talked all about it. What didn't make the show proper? Because I'm not that dumb. Cal photographer coming in. Hey, Carl, it's Cal charger. Re Chrissy being stunning. She is way better looking in person than on the promo photos that at least she used to run like four or five years ago.

When I met her in person, I was like, oh wow, you're way more attractive. Okay, I get it. Yeah, I'd put a baby in her. Goodbye. All right, copycatographer. Now, I think that's an insulting thing to say, but she is very attractive in person. Did you feel she has a presence? Did he feel that she had like a real presence about her?

He didn't mention that Gary Gary Rex work Says why why not Buffalo Ironworks Saturday night July 19th still promoting the show is he in that band must be Interesting I am intrigued Here's a question for Adam Bush. I got a question for the good. Dr. Bush and you're also a musician So I respect your opinion. What do you think about a guy who's in a band? The band is a gimmick on top of a gimmick, on top of a gimmick, on top of a gimmick. He lives in a cold climate nowhere near the ocean. It's 2025. He plays surf rock. He doesn't surf. He plays surf rock that's instrumental. No singing, no vocals.

Dresses up as a nerd but says he's a scientist and then names the band after a Simpsons Reference what a fucking dork didn't talk a question at the end gay Right again my friend congratulations, I love this game making it well played Mike Roche says Cardis shirt tank Right again my friend congratulations. I love this game Megan well played Mike Roche says Curtis shirt tank also a possibility for you, I Like mud shark week better

This is a message for Opie from the his HVAC guy Thanks for the VHP just listening to a Opie bitching moan the millionaire about not being able to afford to fix his air conditioner Fucking cocksucker. I work at the skill trades and I can tell you I'm a skill tradesman Who doesn't really care to do side jobs when I'm not working. I don't want to fucking work I already worked enough So the fact that he's probably harassing this guy The guy's just blowing him off because he a doesn't fucking care and b obie's a cheap cocksucker So pony up the fucking money bitch and just get your shit fixed you loser Fucking dick

Sounds about right I like the passion there Kyle thank you for being the most stable podcaster with the most normal opinions. Every day I'm shocked how normal you are despite your club foot and snaggletooth and mum wife and everything else they were supposed to make fun of you for. You're exceedingly normal and that for whatever reason in the world of the internet is to be commended so congratulations a Double congratulations to producer Chris for being twice as normal and twice as powerful

Amen, I'm not sure what to believe on that one Sarkin is getting real thick on the voicemails lately All I hear is those those Wednesday voicemails Carl it is on the voicemails lately. All I hear is facts. Those Wednesday voicemails, Carl. It is the Wednesday voicemails that are the problem. Here's another guy who's into Chrissy. Why is Chrissy Mayer getting so much shit lately? Why is everybody fucking hating her? Why? Because she's not funny?

I would fuck her until her pussy melts. Or just explodes. Wow. That sounds fun for her. Power Cardiff Electric on YouTube. There you go. Can that happen? I mean I can honestly say I've never done that. You never fucked a girl until her pussy exploded? Or melted. That's vulgar. That seems wild.
