Who Are These Podcasts? - Ep647 - SUE EVERYBODY! StutJo, Opie, Brendan Schaub, Steel Toe, Howard Stern
Episode Date: August 14, 2025I’m not sure who Brendan Schaub thinks is watching his show. He starts off by bragging about buying a luxury sports car and discussing the mods he’s considering. That’s a great way to get the MM...A fans ready for the break down of UFC 319. Over on Steel Toe, Aaron Imholte has somehow turned Stuttering John’s frivolous lawsuit against Shuli and me into a “win for the Toe.” This lawsuit couldn’t have less to do with Aaron. SiriusXM is trying to use the recent hype around Howard’s contract to promote Howard’s show even though it won’t be back on the air for weeks. I present the top 10 reasons Howard’s audience has stopped listening to the show. Opie is now streaming morning and night while bitterly alone. Adam has some theories on where the family has been. We check out Stuttering John’s lawsuit, his recent TV appearance, and his final episode working the board for Stephanie Miller (which was his fourth episode running the board). Review girls Annie and Megan join us to play “2 Minutes with Tom” and “Is It Gay?” Then we wrap things up with reviews, Spotify comments, and voicemails.

You see, this is a, we just do it kind of show.

Oh, I was a boner guy.

Probably not, but it's going to be at least entertaining, okay?
By the way, for those people that are in the back, remember to shut the fuck up.

Oh, and the impression.
And Royce goes, and I'll be Baba Booie.

Senator John has sued me, everyone.
He appeared on TV again,
and we have the last day he ever worked to the board for Stephanie Miller.
Also, two minutes with Tom from Cardiff is back.
Another round of Is It Gay with Review Girl, Megan, reviews, and voicemails.
But first, Brendan Schaub is a dumb guy, and he's doing it wrong.
And we have a brand new stinger that came in from Ed, the editor,
for our
Brennan Shab segment.
You're going through a tough time
and I was like,
I just moved to Austin, man.
Yeah, I'm trying to find my way.
It's, I'm heartbroken about L.A.
It's Papa.
In Texas,
I miss L.A.
All right.
It's kind of a weird one,
but I'll take it.
Thank you very much.
Ed for putting that together.
So as you guys know, Brendan Schaub has moved down to Austin, Texas.
This week he's excited because school is starting for the kiddos.
Talks a lot about that on the most recent episode of the Shab show that he does on Monday mornings.
And his son, whose name is Boston, I believe.
He calls him Bosty.
Bosty is the younger son.
And Bosty's also a baseball player.
And Bosty just got a new baseball bat for the new season that's coming up.
I know.
I can tell Adam's already very excited.
This is compelling stuff that we're talking about.
So what Brendan Schaub does is he learns a word
and then he uses it over and over again.
And it's embarrassing.
Listen to, you'll pick up on it immediately what his new word is here.
Baseball, Bosti got his first real baseball bat.
He's so crunk because, you know, his brother's playing at a high level.
So he's still doing his thing.
But now he's playing with the eight-year-olds.
He's playing up.
We needed a real bat, so we bought his first real bat.
You've never seen a kid so crunk about a baseball bat.
Because he's always gotten, like, bullshit bats.
He's five.
So it's not like he's hitting frigging dinners, you know.
He's not going to Apo Taco with those little bats.
But now he got a real bat.
So he's crunk, man.
He's not psyched.
He's not, like, enthused.
He's just crunk three times.
Go ahead and mix it up with the synodem sometime.
It's what broadcasters do.
Nope, the only word to describe the way he feels is crunk
This is not a current word
This is not a new thing
I'm not familiar with it
I'll be honest
I mean I'm not hit like Brendan Schaubb so
I think it's pretty old
I think it's uh
I think it like appears in outcast tunes
From like the 90s
This is not a new lingo that he's picking up right now
Maybe it's new to him in Austin
I thought it meant a crazy drunk bitch
Like oh shit she's crunk
Let's get the fuck out of here
You know
But apparently it's being psyched up about something
She's got a bat.
Yeah, she's crunk with that bat.
Get the fuck out of here.
I dated the girl.
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
Chris knows what I'm talking about.
All right, we're going to hear about Brendan's weekend, this big weekend, going to San Antonio.
And we're going to find out why he went to San Antonio.
It was for business.
And by no means, is he bragging about anything at all?
Why would he do that when he sees his friends like Tom Segura getting panned for bragging about his wealth?
There's no way.
Brendan Schaum, who gets clowned every day on the internet by the homeless cast.
There's no fucking way.
This guy's going to open up a show bragging about all the cool shit that he's doing.
Yeah, man, spent the long weekend.
We went to San Antonio, went down there for business, spent some of my UFC antitrust
lawsuit check on a 2009 ZR1, 1,000 horsepower to the wheels.
Now, the plan was to pick it up and then drive back with the kiddos in that.
And my father-in-law was going to go with me.
But then I got in it, you know, it's a six-speed, it's manual.
I thought, probably not the best parenting if I put them in this thing
and drive all the way back to Austin.
I mean, it's only like an hour and a half.
It's just not smart.
It's that one there where I'm having the gray shirt on you.
Oh, there you go.
It sounds like a goddamn gargoyle.
I was watching his Instagram video of him and his kid in the car.
It does sound silly
Yeah, it's
It's crunk
It's an absolute savage
What I like about Bernie
It's so relatable
You know, he went to San Antonio
Picked up a hundred thousand dollar Corvette
And it's too much of a sweet muscle
car, even put the kids in and drive back, so he had to do it out of his own.
This little story and the delivery, it had something to piss off everybody.
There was nothing to like about it.
The delivery, everything about it just said, pompous, entitled, spoiled asshole on the
heels of my kid got a bat, write a passage, you know, but anyway, check out what I got.
Now watch my kid watching me.
Now watch me watching my kid watching me.
And I don't have all the clips, but there are multiple photos they show of these kids.
in the car, and anyone could do anything they want with their lives.
I don't care.
If you want to feature your children on your podcast, it's all well and good.
I would never make that decision myself, but if that's what you want to do, it's just surprising to me.
We've never seen Joe Rogan's kids, you know what I mean?
Like Howard always kept his kids, Opie.
Like, if you had a lot of hate, it seems like you might want to protect your family members from that.
I didn't even know Joe Rogan had kids until you just said it.
Yeah, because he doesn't.
Yeah, he doesn't bring it up and he doesn't put out.
Instagram. Oh, I don't follow him on Instagram. So maybe his sweet muscle cars with his kids
bouncing around. Probably not. So he just bought this really expensive, really nice 2009
ZR1. And then he goes on to explain, because this is what, when you have a ton of money,
you can do. He doesn't even like Corvettes. Yeah, it's an absolute monster. I'm not a big Corvette
guy, but for the record, not a big, I've never been a big Chevy guy. Sure. And then the more I go
down this whole car adventure i'm on it's like you know i've always loved ford love mopars and then
there's a reason why people love the ls platform and i've never i've just never i've never really looked
into it um again not the biggest corvette guy but the 2009 c6 zr1 the c6 is right you boy
fucks with that's one of the greatest uh american super cars ever made yeah i think we can all agree
Yeah, I think we can all agree on that.
I'm trying to think, who's the audience for this?
So if you watch the Shab show, it's mostly about UFC.
He was a UFC fighter.
He knows Dana White.
He's going to give you the information of what's going on, maybe talk about the fights
from the weekend and things like that.
What percentage of that audience is interested in this content?
No one is.
No one's interested.
It can't be a lot because, as we know, as he's turned into this gearhead guy, he's not.
He's just a car enthusiast.
He doesn't know anything about working on cars or modified.
He said, I didn't really look into it.
What does he actually look into, looked into anything?
I don't know.
He didn't look into moving to Austin.
No.
He did not.
Good point.
He calls it a car adventure.
It's a shopping spree.
You bought a toy.
It's not a journey.
You're just spending a lot of money on stupid shit and bragging about it.
I'm assuming this podcast is solely and completely just for his friends back home
we want to see what he's up to.
And don't forget, he called it a business trip.
That's how he started this.
But I got to go to San Antonio.
It's for business.
Because he's got that other channel where he shows up his cars and flips his trucks and shit.
He's still got that going.
I think so.
Who could know?
Who's watching that shit?
Nobody.
All right.
All right.
So, of course, he bought this really slick luxury sports car.
But he's probably going to need some mods done out of that, I would imagine.
Like the, those are the original.
OEM, 18s in the front, 19 in the back.
I'd like to switch those out, some CCWs.
Right.
But it's cool, man.
It's cool.
That thing's a banchy, dude.
Such a banshee.
I did, uh, on my civic, 18s in the back, 17s in the front.
But it was stupid because it looked weird for my car.
It just looked weird.
So I just got them all 18.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, fucking chin.
I know.
This poor guy.
Moves his entire.
life out to Austin he hates it there he doesn't like his living arrangements people speculate he's
not paid a lot of money i've heard i don't know if that's true or not and here's brendon first thing
of this show is showing off his brand new expensive car and jing goes oh yeah i can relate i put some
mods on my honda civic the only thing missing is brendon going fuck your car dude right yeah why are we
talking about your civic asshole did you see this thing sick it's a banshee dude savage it's absolute
savage i fucking hate the way this guy talks the good news because right now we're going what's
what's in it for us fredden you know what i mean like i'm watching your show which just seems like
you're bragging about what you got going on what's in it for me the listener well good news
we get to name his new car i'm trying to think if you guys can come up some good names i'm going
to get some specialized plates saying about like ufc earned or something like that c t
earned
something like that
a fun custom play
it's easy to do
here in Texas
so I'll come up
with something cool
yeah
if only we could
like T-H-X
UFC
star
something like that
because you have to
have 7 you know
got to come up
with something fun
that sounds fun
good luck with that
I'm sure that'll be
a great time
for everybody involved
naming your car
it has the sound
of
they're waiting for the show
to start
and they're just talking and killing time
until somebody turns the mics on.
Even his posture is just like,
all right, so we're on 10, you said?
Uh-huh.
All right, cool, man.
That's great.
Oh, I got a new car this weekend.
I'm going to cover up my face until then.
Is that cool?
Right.
I'm just going to chew on my finger like I'm...
Oh, do you want to see my kid?
My kid from last week, you're going to love this.
It's like it's not crunk.
Crunk.
He's not explaining these, you know,
car things to people that don't know.
He's not impressive to people that know about cars.
It's just for nobody.
It's for him.
Okay.
So it is the Shab show, so it can be a little self-indulgent.
Let's check out the Golden Hour from this week.
Because as you know, the Golden Hour is a show he's still doing for some reason with Chris Delia, Eric Griffin, or the co-hosts along with Brendan Shob, who does it from his new studios in Austin.
And they're having a discussion about why male flight attendants and nurses are gay.
Are we playing the game already?
We're not.
We're not.
It probably does that.
And then male cheerleaders comes up in this discussion.
And Brendan says something that I think is transphobic.
I can't even tell.
I'm not even sure what the joke is on this one.
And I probably should have spoiled it.
But listen to this.
Here's the thing.
Only cheerleader that person just comes off gay.
Right.
Well, no, flight attendant.
Yes.
You always tell when you have a gay flight attendant.
I don't know.
You have a gay flight attendant.
But it doesn't mean I think 100% of the time,
Sure, yeah, I know cheerleader is gay.
Yeah, I have to say, yeah.
But not a flight of, oh, no, I think flight attendants batting like 95% gay.
It's up there, but, but, but leaders higher.
It's very rare.
Cheerleaders higher though.
It has to be.
But yes, I, but also.
Damn's game?
Dude, these guys got more makeup.
Oh, with the male cheerleaders?
Yeah.
That's different though.
Them, them boys are one, one, one broken ankle away from going full trans.
But with the flight attendants, what does that mean?
Cheerleers, oh, that's different.
Those guys are one broken ankle away from being full trans.
Is that the natural progression of gay?
Well, they say breaking your ankle is the gateway into transitioning.
Okay.
So I didn't realize that.
What the fuck is he talking about?
He's not a sports injury?
Does he mean like you can't play?
So now you just got to go transition.
Be a girl or something?
How does he think this works?
I don't know, but does he?
He also said something that was really dumb in there,
and I'm being nitpicky, but there's a reason why.
They're batting 95%, he said.
Badding averages are not told a percentages.
If he didn't talk of baseball so often.
That's the problem.
Tiger is this baseball star.
He's always talking baseball.
He's like, what's your batting average?
367%.
Oh, you mean 367?
That's how badding averages work.
You fucking idiot.
Sorry, Dad.
I know.
It's like I'm scolding him, but he should know that.
It is crazy the confidence and volume with which he shuts everyone up to say nothing.
Yeah, well, you're going to see that coming up in just a moment.
But first, they tease their Patreon.
I've never wanted to join the Golden Hour's Patreon until right now.
So hard.
Oh, and speaking of everybody.
Also, Houston, go to get tickets, chrysley.com.
Yay.
Join the Patreon because we're doing, Chris and I are going to do.
do the newlyway game. Our wives are...
Oh, yeah, yeah. Our wives are coming to Zoom on show.
Oh, cool.
They're doing the newlywed game with their wives?
Yeah. That's amazing.
Chris Delea, who's cheated on his wife with everyone,
started a sex call while married.
Possibly girls who are little younger than they should be.
Maybe. Maybe.
And he's like, oh, let's get my wife in here.
Let's figure out if we know each other.
What, hey, um, what turns on your husband?
A new pussy?
Anyone but me?
Yeah, right.
Yeah, exactly.
Strange, I think, is the answer to that.
That's wild that they're doing that.
Yeah, we have to keep up on that because it's obviously part of some, like, rehab thing they're doing to fix their image or at least to fix his image and make them seem more accessible.
But judging by the amount of effort they put into their main show, if this is a Patreon-only show, they're not going to prep, and the wives are going to step in and just start talking.
And we're going to want to hear what they have to say.
Are you convinced me?
I'm purchasing that.
Good.
Thank you.
We are purchasing the newlywed game for the Golden Hour featuring Chris and Eric Griffin.
I can only imagine how Eric is around his wife, too.
He's already such a douche and a bitch boy.
It's probably very samey.
I think Chris would change a little.
Yeah, well, we've seen Chris with his wife because she comes on his show from time to time.
What's that like?
She berates him.
And he takes it with a roller pin.
I mean, I, my covers it very well.
But it's like, you can tell there's a lot of pent.
up rage that she takes out
out of him in front of the camera.
So this would be interesting.
I do want to check that out.
Yeah.
Join our Patreon.
So join our Patreon for that.
Oh, Eric.
Eric, Eric, your boy,
Matt Rife bought that
haunted house, the Annabelle House.
Yeah, man. Ain't that crazy?
Well, yeah.
Yes.
Dude, that's what, if I had his money,
I'd do the exact same shit.
Of course he won.
This fucking.
an idiot, is constantly making bad purchasing decisions.
You know what I would buy is a haunted house.
Yep, I believe it.
Brendan, smart investment.
But he sounds like a four-year-old.
You bought your friend, your friend, Mike, Matt, he bought a haunted house.
He bought a haunted house.
Pretty cool.
Very good.
Very good, Brandon, you got it.
Pretty neat.
You guys are probably seeing this news at Lorraine Warren's home and a cult museum,
including the Annabelle Dow, featured in the Conjuring movies,
has been sold to Matt Rife
and I'm just like
well I have a fucking Sonic chew
so
watch out
I ain't scared
I love that stuff
love it
you know that
bro you'd be fucking
he'd be re
what do you call him
re what do you call him
refurbishing
what do you
refinancing
house
nope
definitely not refinancing
he's talking about
restoring a home
he goes
he'd be re
refinancing
unfinancing
yeah to get a better
rate. That's what Matt Rife is looking for.
A better interest rate.
Fucking idiot.
So this goes on. This conversation fascinates me.
Because Brendan Schaub
is like really into ghosts and stuff.
I know.
He's a child.
And Chris DeLeo, I rarely agree with.
Makes some good points.
So this is the thing about this.
And this is on the East Coast.
This is cool.
And this is, you know, props to him for getting into other, you know,
areas of
business, you know.
But this, I love that this is a business
and also nothing is haunted, though.
Yeah.
That's the best part. That's just the best part.
It's like a Bigfoot thing. No, you got to look into it.
You know, you don't know. You got to look into it, dude.
Do you know the history of that house?
Hey, who's asked me. I'm with you. I love Adam's
reaction. I love Brendan getting defensive
about this. It's what I was hoping
would happen. He's going, he bought a haunted house
do you guys know that's not a thing right
and Brendan's like have you done your research on that
you got to look into it man
how does the realtor sell that
all right it goes on
who says me I'm ready
dude
go hang out
go hang out there go stay the night there
and let me know how you come out alive
yeah but how about this I don't want to
because of how it's going to be
so creaky and boring
yeah
yeah
and terrifying
terrifying
you forgot terrifying
Chris Lee is just like, well, I don't think ghosts are real, so I'm not worried about it.
I can stay in a fucking boring house if I wanted to.
Oh, wow.
Honestly, ghosts don't do anything.
I'm more afraid of spiders.
They bite.
That makes sense to be afraid of spiders.
Even sharks, if you want to be afraid of sharks, like some people we know.
Right.
It's a valid fear.
It's a valid fear.
They're dangerous.
Ghosts, you never hear, like, death by ghost, you know?
This is going to creep you out a little bit or something.
Now, listen, you.
have brought this up before podcasting by yourself not healthy also not terribly easy to do right
you don't have someone there different energy so watching the shop show clips that you were just
showing and he's talking about his new purchase the toy yeah acting very childlike i've never seen
him this childlike i know it's amazing it's crazy isn't it okay it goes on because he's really
excited about this annabel doll that uh matt rife is now the owner of
Jelly. I never, Annabel, I've seen almost, I've seen almost every horror movie. The Conjuring ones, I saw the first two, and I was like, I hate this. So I don't know really.
Oh, you're an idiot. Oh, you're a fucking idiot. Fucking asshole, bro. Real Annabelle doll, looks like that. I'm out.
Yeah.
Hold on. Let me just give you a little history here. Let me give you a history. That Annabelle doll, the guy who was on one of those ghost shows, carried, carried that doll right, across.
the state lines, he died the next day.
This is like two weeks ago.
No.
That happened?
This is two weeks ago.
Yeah, that happened.
This is real.
So does it have to do with the doll or the state lines?
I was wondering about that.
Like, does the Dowell recognize state borders?
It's a cop.
Right.
They're like, oh, are we entering New Hampshire right now?
You're under arrest and you're dead.
I'm going to have to kill you for that.
So this guy had a hot.
heart attack and Brennan's job goes well go surreal obviously is that what
haunted dolls do they give you a heart attack yeah they wait till your cholesterol's high
he's convinced to that they make you make bad decisions with your eating habits
that's what the haunting is they start when you're young and they implant these ideas and
slowly over time you get colon cancer and it was really them the whole time move to
Austin eat barbecue that this conversation goes on and on where Brendan's just trying to
convince these guys that this is a really a haunted doll and it's a scary place and all this shit i know
does it break down where he's crying you guys don't believe me well the funny thing is so chris delia
is explaining to him when there's so many things that happen in the world almost infinite when you
look at space and time things have to happen there has to be a time when a guy touches like doll
sure and dies the next day right and chris is like i don't know or not chris uh brend's like i don't know
seems like too much of a coincidence.
He's like, no, no, you're not understanding what I'm saying.
It would have to happen at a certain point.
And just, Brett is just not picking up on the concept of that at all.
But the doll.
But the doll.
I mean, what are the chances?
Like, no, I know.
But the point is, anyway.
There's also a couple other instances of people carrying a doll and making it through successfully
and they're still alive to talk about it.
We don't point to them because there's too many.
Right.
It wouldn't be a very interesting story.
I don't think it's a news week.
All right.
that's what I have on Brendan
today I just I wanted to get an update
see what he's up to
dumber, dumber than ever
blind Mike Erie from
Who are these socials really hammered in
something I had not noticed before
which is that Brian believes he's
I'm sorry Brendan believes he's the smart one
over Brian like he believes
it's his show
to be schooling him
I never saw it that way
and now I can't unsee it
and it makes Brian seem like a hero
like why is he there
yeah
Brendan will interrupt
up to Brian a bit.
Okay, let me explain this to you.
Like, he's the alpha in the room.
And yeah, Mike does a great job of breaking these guys down.
Because Brendan's thought process says, I can beat you up.
Therefore, you should listen to me.
Which is like why people like him get a bad rap.
That's a horrible way to lift.
Correct.
It's time for our...
Bridge of the week.
Grinch of the week.
And, Adam, this is one that you found and sent over to me.
It's not even a podcast.
It's a audio.
book. Yeah. I do a lot of these audio books. I read them and it's, uh...
Oh, you do? I do. You do voiceover stuff for, I guess that's not a voiceover works
specifically. What does that call? Yeah, I mean, it's usually some variation of your own voice,
but nowadays they really want you to edit it, mix it, master it, and just send it to them.
And I guess somehow throughout this process of this very popular psychological book series
called Girl Haunted, a fan took to the Facebook page to found,
find something interesting in the audio book that I don't think they had noticed before.
Square one with a handful of nothing.
Stop it
Oh no
I fucking hate this
Oh boy
Why do you do this?
She's doing a good job acting out the words on the page here
Feeling the passion
Yeah
What the fuck?
No
This fucking screw
They both
They time out because I'm reading something
And then they don't
This fucking thing won't come back
fuck off
so then
I shut it off
oh my god
stop going
out
why's it doing that?
I don't know
she's crazy
All right, so we're watching people listening to it,
looking at their phones while they're listening to it.
And Adam, question for you.
Yeah.
Do you ever yell at your tech when it's not doing what you wanted to do?
No, because it doesn't help.
It actually hurts the system.
I don't think I do either.
I've definitely grumbled and spoken under my breath and been like,
oh, come on, man.
I don't think I yell at my computer.
Have you ever yelled at your computer or your phone or something
because I wasn't doing what you wanted to do?
I was trying to think of any example.
I yell at my fingers when they don't play the right notes.
That's about it.
My fingers get a little.
fucking talking to that's that's definitely true i yell at myself definitely i'll definitely do that
but no that's not um if anybody's listening to it it's really loud also how it's still on
there it's on youtube it's everywhere nobody has fixed this yet how does that get all the way
through like that how i mean it's it's a long book obviously you know you're a six hour
audio thing you're who's getting paid to sit there and make sure that they edited it correctly i guess
no one or a very lazy person who just scrubs every 20 minutes and goes
Yep, this sounds like someone's reading something.
All right, cool, we're good.
I could do that.
Yeah, maybe John could do that job.
I want to know what else is out there.
I wonder what else is sitting there in the back of these audio books of people just like going to the bathroom or arguing with their spouses or whatever it is.
I want in.
At first I thought she was yelling at her kids or maybe a pet or something.
Yeah.
I thought it was a pet.
Yeah.
I could see that.
She goes on and on.
It's some interface she's having problem with and she can't get it to work.
And it's a relatable problem.
I just can't believe this was left in.
And I really wish I was.
one of those people who heard it without knowing it was coming right yeah that's got to be a lot
of fun you're like you're really into this book it's a suspenseful book oh what's gonna happen
next fuck this fucking chapter five what the fuck that's unusual i don't usually name the chapters
things like that all right let's get into uh my buddy Aaron Imholt please please please please guys
stream labs pay pal uh super chats rumble rants Benmo
Maybe, you know what?
Maybe we don't deserve it.
Yesterday morning, Aaron, who doesn't do a drama show anymore,
weighed in on the lull suit, the S.J. Loll suit.
And he's got an interesting takeout, I'll say.
Eso Horny with $5 says, hey, Stilto, any advice for my old boss being sued by stuttering
one? Johnny, nice shirt, brother.
Thank you, Iso Horny.
Uh, yeah, well, I mean, look, some of you are going to, if you hate Steeltoe, get ready,
because you're going to have to admit I was right and you're going to hate it and it's going to be bad.
I told you, like that whole John suing Carl and Shulie thing, I told you guys, do a real show.
Do your own content.
Talk about the news.
Talk about shit that's going on.
Challenge yourself.
Hold on a second.
Why is talking about the news, real content?
Because he's a radio guy.
Versus talking about another show.
He's got his rules, man.
I know.
I'm already confused.
I thought we did a real show over here.
Rule number one, everything's a W for the toe.
He spins us into a win for him.
Shulia and I get sued, and this is a win for error.
This is a leap.
This is crazy.
He told you here.
Do a real show.
I said it.
I said, they can't do it.
They would make no money.
They'd have to leave the Internet.
They couldn't do it.
They can't do what we do.
They cannot do what we do.
And I know that upsets a lot of you.
You mean lose viewership over time?
I haven't been able to do that yet.
I'm still working out that.
If you're copes at home, I'm just going to go off on this one because this is another victory lap.
I said this years ago, it rings true today.
It just takes a lot of you.
It's proven.
It's documented.
It's proven.
It just takes a lot of you longer to catch.
it a lot of you have built your whole life around this shit which is truly pathetic and that's got to make for a lonely thanksgiving but i've it's been torn down and i told you it would happen
these guys are being sued because they lived off of someone else you cannot live off of someone else and not have it come back to you in some way
this is your punishment for being a hack no offense but when you're a hack you just do the same thing over and
over with the same people you never change you're not covering anything you're not doing your own
content you you would think a fellow broadcaster would see that someone's getting sued for broadcasting
and would go this is not cool who the fuck is bringing lawsuits around because they don't like
their feelings getting hurt they're not like being embarrassed by their actions this should not
happen when elix jones was sued for a billion dollars i came out and said
That's fucking crazy.
We can't have this.
We should be suing people for a billion dollars over words, they say.
And now, Aaron's got out here and going, this is great.
I love this.
This is exactly what he deserves.
This is the comeuppance that I was predicting all along.
Years, he said.
For years.
Even though he literally entered the dabble verse,
went after stuttering John, then pivoted to Chad Zumach.
He was making fun to Patrick Michael for a little while.
That's fucking my local.
Wanted to be honored.
show. Couldn't wait to get out of it.
He was hoping Carmic X would be his new
little boyfriend.
You're living off of someone else. You're being
basically an online parasite.
You're garbage. I told
you and I told all
of you that they can't do what
I do. They can't pivot. They're in
for a penny, in for a pound
and this will ultimately
yield consequences that may
even be greater than the benefits.
I can't wait.
Now, here's the thing with Aaron.
Nothing age as well.
We talk about this all the time.
Patrick Melton covers this all the time.
Aaron says shit five months ago, and you go back and revisit it and go, oh, man, that's embarrassing.
And he says something six months before that, and you go, holy shit, dude, you're one of an idiot.
Very fleeting.
Yeah.
Everything he says turns out to be wrong and embarrassing.
And I have a feeling at the end of this, at the end of this lawsuit, we're going to be pulling back these clips again because Aaron makes a bold statement here.
Here it is.
Here it is.
So I'm just going to leave it at.
I told you so.
I'm going to let the copes come in.
They're going to bounce off of me because, guys, once again,
it feels really good to say I told you so.
And it feels really good to basically show you the light and you have to angrily accept it.
Isn't that funny?
Did Aaron ever say, you know, the problem with WTP is they're going to get sued at a certain point.
What is this I told you so?
Why would his audience care about this?
Why?
Yeah, I know.
Well, he's always talking to the haters, too.
That's the problem with Aaron is that it's never about like what he wants to communicate to the audience.
It's about what he wants to tell the people who don't like him.
It's what he wants to tell you, Carl.
Yeah, I know.
I told you so.
I wish you would have given me a heads up on this lawsuit.
I actually didn't know about it.
And even Johnny knew, he said.
Right.
Everyone knows about this thing.
It just shows you the wrestling, political world.
he thinks he's living in.
No one addresses their haters directly and constantly on their own show.
They wouldn't be watching it and you wouldn't be addressing them.
What are the people who like you feel about you constantly giving attention to the people
that hate you?
You know, Andy Cohen might not be your favorite broadcaster, but he has a lot of shows
that cover other shows, and people seem to like that.
Chris Hardwick did that for Walking Dead.
People seem to like that stuff.
But Andy Cohen, when he goes on his show, though, he addresses the people who don't like him, right?
Well, that's all it's about.
It's all the people that don't like real housewives of whatever.
That's who his show is for.
Aaron, you sound like a fucking moron.
You have no show.
There's nothing here.
You have no problem with covering shows as long as it's not your show.
Someone needs to pick up this co-host next to you and sit him upright, please.
While denying it outward.
It's beautiful.
Turns out we were five bucks over, so I did owe you guys.
so I started today at 2.95, which is good
because our goal is to never start a goal in the threes in the morning ever again
and never start it in the twos in the evenings ever again.
So thank you guys for helping out with that.
He has goals for the goal now.
Jesus Christ, Aaron.
Isn't the goal living off someone else?
Yes, that is the goal.
The goal is you guys give me money when I ask you to.
Shut that so thorough Joe Burrow up pretty quick too.
Boy, he's a sensitive guy.
He's another one of those guys.
He talks a big game, and I'm in his head.
Now he's battling with guys who clip his show and just put it on the internet for people to watch.
Wow, I really got over on So Thorough Joe Burrow.
Did you?
Cool.
But one thing doesn't go his way, and he slinks and pouts off.
I just try to have fun with these guys, but they, you know, don't any of you want to play for blood.
But you know, I'm older now, and I'm wiser.
and I can let things go
like before like the radio days
or like three years ago
I would be like
bullshit blah blah
it's fine
have your girlfriend on your podcast
I'm sure it'll turn out great
it always well
and then he gets into it
and a certain point he starts talking about
how he doesn't do drama anymore
and if you like drama
you're a child
meanwhile this guy made more money than ever
after April left him
and then got arrested
and then he could talk about all the shit
that they were up to with
drugs and sex and he was bragging about how much money he was making and now he's above
it all like a year ago this was all like the greatest thing ever he loved the drama he loved
talking about it and now he's like I can't be you guys haven't figured this out like the drama
is out the way to go me and slam piece are above this this wasn't for other people to make money off
of us this was just for me to make money off of her how dare you so that was the morning show
yesterday the evening show this comes up again and he has some more thoughts on the
stuttering John lawsuit against
Shulie and I.
$199 says hair looks great, Aaron.
Ignore Clubfoot, Carl.
I don't think I would take
any kind of fashion advice
from old IT Clubfoot,
especially since,
how's he going to afford
shoes to put on those club feet?
Right.
I took a look at that lawsuit.
Oh, my God.
That's a...
Whoever wrote that up for John,
they did a good job.
He's...
Okay.
This is where, like,
Aaron loses all credibility.
He does this every time, too.
He can't help himself.
Right.
Okay.
So he just said,
I read through the lawsuit, it's really well written.
Aaron, I promise you it's not.
If you want to see how well it was written, listen to Luigi Greenberg on Once Over
with Kaylee Channel from Monday Night, Lucy does dabbleverse.
It's insane how bad this is.
But did you see how many pages it was?
It's a lot.
It's a lot of pages.
It's a lot of words.
And as I believe Tuki pointed out on Cardiff's show, very easy to read for a legal document.
Yeah, there's a table of contents and then five blank pages for notes and a bibliography.
So Aaron just said it's really well written.
It's a great lawsuit.
So I'm sure right now what he's going to do is he's going to explain to us what makes it a well-written lawsuit and what makes it a slam dunk for stuttering John and company.
Take it away, Aaron.
He's asking for $300,000 a piece.
He's also going to get lawyer fees out of that.
this is a bankrupting kind of a deal but again i don't want to lean in too much i don't want to
kick a guy while he's down i don't really need carl i know he needs me i don't really need
okay this legal analysis does not exist he just read the dollar amounts that were being sued
for and this is coming from a guy who thought he was going to pay fifty dollars
from a felony revenge porn charge he goes yeah i'm going to go into court tomorrow pay 50 bucks
then I'll be over it, we'll be moving on.
And he couldn't have been more wrong about it.
He got put in jail.
And now he tells me that like, oh, this is probably going to bankrupt, Carl.
He's definitely, this is a really good case that he has here.
Why?
Give me some legal analysis.
This is the equivalent if I had a sports show.
I go on, I go, dude, the game last night was good.
It's a good game.
That Johnny's like, yeah, it was.
Right.
There's just nothing.
These guys just have fucking nothing.
Like, some specific.
Some examples.
Read something from it that you're like, yeah, this is going to be tough to get around.
This sounds like John's got a case here.
And I don't know what the defense is going to be on this piece right here because it seems like based on New York State law, anything.
Instead, he just goes, yeah, no, I read that.
He's screwed.
Again, this, he's going to look so bad.
He's going to look really fucking stupid when this is all said and done.
I don't know why he's taking this tack.
And he's not a dumb guy.
I say this over and over again.
I know he's lying to himself, he's lying to his audience, is gaslighting everyone, he's
pretending that he's on top of the world, he's not stressed out all the time about money
and about his audience shrinking, he's pretending that everything's going great, and, you know,
it's that meme with the cat or whatever in the fucking burning room, whatever it is.
That's his fucking life on a daily basis.
And so I don't think he's dumb.
I think he knows all of this, but why the fuck would you ever think that stud
John is going to win something.
What does that ever happen?
In the history of the world,
what have you been like,
I'm going to back John on this one.
That's probably going to be the guy who comes out on top.
Then if that's true,
it's even sadder than I thought it was
because it means he knows that this is his victory.
He doesn't get when John wins.
He knows the moment when we don't know,
this is the only bragging time I'm going to have
because this isn't going to work out.
Yes.
Which is really, really sad.
But I got to say,
For this guy to be, like, going up to that line of talking about this legal case involving friends of his or people he knows that are tertially involved to him, like, why is he always doing something that if the judge were to be randomly watching would be like, what's he doing?
What is he talking about?
Like, he's not talking about all this stuff we want to hear, but instead he's risking it all to just sort of get a jab in at you guys.
But it's what you're not supposed to be doing.
It seems like you haven't learned anything once again.
But the fact that he is a legal expert in any regard, when everything you're talking about, Adam, he has fucked his own cases up so badly.
This is a guy who has two restraining orders put out against him, one from his ex-wife, one from his ex-girlfriend.
He actually literally, are there things he's not allowed to talk about or else he'll go to jail from his show.
And he's sitting there giving me legal advice.
Like, yeah, Carl, you fucked up.
Shouldn't have made fun of Suttery John so much.
Oh, yeah?
we'll see we'll see about that I don't really need Carl I know he needs me I don't really need him
okay that's insane I wish people were as interested in Aaron as I am because I find this
motherfucker fascinating and I love talking about him he is a loser and things are going so poorly
for him yeah it's so fun to watch hoping he can sue you because he's such a smug prick that's why
it's so fun to watch his demise and see everybody realize who this guy is unfortunately
he's like, oh, Curl needs me.
People are way more interested in Opie, Suttering John, Brendan Scha, Chris DeLea, Howard Stern.
I wish I could talk about this fucking guy more often, but people aren't as interested in Aaron.
Look at the numbers.
Yeah, I'm sorry, Aaron.
I read the comments all the time.
People fucking hate it.
Well, they don't hate it, but you know what I mean.
They're just not as interesting.
Yeah, they're just not as interesting.
When I put out videos, you can go look at the numbers.
25,000 videos on our Howard Stern clip from Point Dabble Point.
Aaron 6,000.
It's not even close.
And Aaron's like, oh, Carl needs me.
The hell I do.
I just actually really enjoy making fun of you with my friends, Moody, Rocco, and Patrick.
That's really what it comes down to.
We started to show this little piggy because we were having so much fun at our text thread.
Can we just do this on the internet once a week?
I will say this.
He knows I was right.
He has to live the fact that I was right.
I think that's punishment enough.
I said you live this shit.
You fall too deep down this rat.
rabbit hole. You need this shit. You desire it. You crave it. Your inner nerd in high school needs
this affirmation. You don't have anything outside of this. You've gotten too close. Icarus,
you've flown too close to the sun. You forgot why people loved you. And you started doing business
with really shady, creepy, f***ed up mentally ill people. This is what happens. This is what happens.
Carl had a path. He chose to take the shortcut, which is now he's finding out the longest road.
and he's very nervous about it, and you should be.
I'm not.
Aaron, I can't explain this enough.
I'm not nervous about it.
Take a shortcut.
I do a show called,
who are these podcasts?
We've been making fun of podcasts since day fucking one.
Is he talking about it?
You were pretty clear about that.
What is he talking about?
I changed show formats at some point.
Some people in the suburb I think I have.
I have not.
It's the same show.
But he tried to warn you, remember?
Back then, when he tried to tell you not to go down this path?
You don't remember that?
I don't remember that.
I remember that.
That's what I recall.
That's what I remember.
of doing, yeah.
This guy is insane.
The way he rewrites history,
but he says it in a way,
presents it in a way
that's like, well,
obviously everyone knows this.
And so he thinks he's,
well, okay,
I'll say this again.
This is such an important point
when it comes to Aaron.
He has zero respect for his audience.
He thinks they're roobes.
He might be right.
Yeah, we've seen the audience.
We've seen the audience.
We've seen the audience.
These people might be fucking rubs.
Someone says something confidently
and they go, well, that must be the truth.
Play the clip.
Shully, I don't blame as much.
Shulie had nothing before, John.
Shulie couldn't get traction doing any kind of podcast.
Okay, well, this is true.
Now, these are good points.
Go ahead there.
What do you say about Shulie?
Pretty desperate.
He did it out of necessity.
So that, you know, that's okay.
That's understandable.
But Carl, he had a good, consistent path.
And then he chose the shortcut.
And, well, I hate to say.
I told you so, but...
You said early on the show that you love saying, I told you so.
Which is it?
That is true.
This morning, he's like, I love to do it so much.
It becomes a burden after a while.
Right, yeah.
Was he talking about these nefarious characters that you're doing business with?
Who were they?
Is that the TSN?
I was confused by that.
Dude, who are these people?
Everything he says is just these weird generalities that he never explains anything,
which is why I don't know why this is a show.
That goes back to my example.
If I saw the game last night, it was a good game.
Like, that's not a show.
You're not providing any value or I don't know what you're talking about.
No one does.
What he doesn't understand is he could just put a like a prop mirror up in front of himself and just pretend like he's talking to himself and it would be riveting because this is all about him.
And you think we don't know that.
Aaron, you don't live a big life.
You don't meet many new people and have new experiences or things that we don't know about in depth.
It's been that way a while.
You're not coming up with these philosophies on business and life based on your experience,
like other people that you've heard of or talked to or this is just you, talking to yourself,
trying to pass it off as making fun of someone else, and we can all see through it, buddy.
Aaron can't leave the state without getting permission.
This fucking guy is telling me how the world works.
He better not try and bring a doll.
Fucking idiots.
I told you so.
Again, I don't want to lean in and really, you know, drop an elbow
because Lord knows he's going through it as it is.
I am, I am, Aaron. It's tough.
Again, I told you.
Aaron was right.
Again, and that's very hard for people to admit.
What is this talk on Reddit about you being sued by credit card companies?
Oh, my God.
My wife spends way too much time on Reddit to not go on Reddit.
Only losers look on Reddit.
it wouldn't be the first time
that Reddit's made shit up out of a whole
cloth because they're coping with the fact
that I kind of stay three steps ahead
of them. But you don't read Reddit.
How would you know? But yeah, if
I'm being sued by credit card company
someone has failed to
to inform me, I am
a good
bill paying, tax paying
American citizen.
Baba Booie hooey
with 199 says John's lawyer
misspelled his own name. What a goof.
I mean, you can cope with it any way you want, but here's the problem.
He also, well, I won't bring it up.
Go on.
Go on.
Read the New York Post.
You want to them worry about to ever better ducked.
Little internet giggles are not going to get around the fact that the case they've presented is very good.
You can't use someone's name, image, and likeness without their permission to promote and make untold amounts of money.
You open yourself up to litigation.
You open yourself up.
up to that person suing you.
You have no idea what you're talking about, Aaron,
but I love that you're talking about it.
It makes me very happy.
Wasn't he just as Hulk Hogan
trying to promote his own anniversary show?
Dude, he is so ignorant of what this lawsuit is
when what he thinks is happening here.
This is crazy.
He's lost the threat.
He's lost the plot.
He knows that I make fun of him and he knows that Shulay makes fun of him.
And he goes, therefore, this lawsuit is legit.
Yep.
They got this one.
You guys are already in jail.
It's not how lawsuits work, but I hear you.
Baba Booie hooey, I know you probably spend a lot of time online,
so you maybe don't know a lot of this stuff.
Aaron, you're online eight hours a day that we can see.
Fuck.
This guy making fun of people from being online too much.
It's insane.
The Reddit giggles and the Discord giggles
aren't going to get you through this one, son.
I warned people about this a long time ago.
It's a shortcut.
It doesn't last.
very long and it's wrought with peril and we'll be coming up on 10 years in February
your 10 year anniversary here's the peril you know the thing is like even if you win you're
going to lose because it's it's going to cost you a buck or two okay now he's hedging his bets
okay that's interesting because it was a opening closed case it was it was all he's got it all
figured out the right to publicity we did everything wrong he's like and you know if john does
lose this case it's still bad cool
So, no matter what.
All right.
So if that upsets you, if that analysis upsets you, I'm sorry, but I think I've been right enough that you can probably take it to the bank.
Coyote NV with 190.
Take it to the bank.
Aaron, last week you had a, talk about how badly Carl and I need you, you had a pretend conversation with me where I wasn't there.
And when you were informed that it wasn't me, you said, I disagree.
you can't disagree about factual things it's not an opinion do you understand that's how that works so you were wrong about that anything else i'm sure we're gonna pull up before this is over an example of you using some fictional character to promote your own thing or a celebrity or whatever it is to promote your own thing where you did exactly what you're saying is so horrendous here so just stop just stop it his thumbnails of every episode show what he's going to be talking about does netton yahoo get to
to sue him because his image is in his thumbnail?
No, because he wasn't a dick about it like you guys are.
He was a journalist.
You guys are just assholes.
Nine says Chad said, okay, if it is monetized.
I don't, like monetized how?
No, because I want to, if I'm going to have a beer with somebody, I want to sit down and
have a beer with the person.
Oh, this is interesting.
The first part of this video is Chad talking about visiting.
Aaron in Minnesota and them getting together for beers and Aaron we just don't have enough time
on the show to talk about others I would have because Aaron just goes yeah I wouldn't have a beer
with Chad because he threatened to assay your wife did you forget about this the the shit that
Aaron that Chad did to Aaron that got Aaron go we're not talking about this anymore this guy has
broken all the rules he's bringing my ex-wife into things he's threatening April and I was just like
yeah Chad's cool this guy stands for nothing it's wild not some fact
simile of that person. I want to know these guys are capable of having a real life and they're
not just these, you know, because if Chad's just an internet character, that's great. That's
funny. I like that. But if he's like that and he's just like, let's have a beer, but we're
going to film it. It's like, well, now that enters the realm of mental illness. If you ask me,
guys who, you know, take it a little too seriously. Dusty Rhodes with a dollar says
shooly is broke again. Stealtoe coverage. He needs the pay window. If you will,
baby. I feel sorry for
Shulie because he's got to
kind of be phony for his money.
He's always been very nice to me when it's
been to... Unlike Aaron.
It's never phony at all
for money.
Reckley to me.
But also with that John lawsuit
and John's got a great case against both
those guys and they know he does.
I know...
Um...
What?
I dare anyone to read
this fucking lawsuit.
Tommy John's got a great case.
I dare anyone.
I've watched legal analysis
done by lawyers on this already.
No one agrees with this take.
John lawsuit and John's got a great case
against both those guys and they know he does.
I know they want to posture publicly,
but they're going to have to pay the piper on that deal
and maybe John's legal fees.
Look, lawyers don't take lawsuits
unless they think they can get money back.
So whoever took this for him,
they think he's got a strong case.
Wow.
That right there, I'm glad I let it run.
I didn't know how much you talked about this more than this.
I'm so glad I let it run.
That right there, all credibility out the window.
You know what lawyers don't do is they don't accept money from a client for a frivolous lawsuit.
That's never happened.
Lawyers are always on the up and up.
Their reputation is on the line and they're worried about it.
Michael Avanotti took on stuttering John's case because he believed it was a matter of legal precedent that needed to be addressed for the good of the country.
He did it so he could steal his precedent.
and then leave him alone and he got what he wanted from it sometimes they just do it for
the press aaron sometimes they just do it for to get a name out there sometimes they do it to
get known in the neighborhood what are you talking about i know getting back to what you were
saying this guy has no life experience and he just he's a know-it-all who goes out and just explains
everybody what's up like yeah that's fine for a person but you can't then assume like he does
that everyone else has the same experiences that you do yeah other people have seen some
shit, you know.
You know, I don't begrudge anyone who needs money.
I mean, everyone does things for money.
Shulie covers me for money.
And you beg your audience, ad nauseum, for money.
Does Shulie have any animosity towards me?
None whatsoever.
Behind the scenes, he's always been very nice, and thank you for saying what you said.
So Shulie's being a phony for money.
Now, I don't want to sacrifice my integrity like he does.
So I understand.
That's another weird thing, too.
Does he have animosity towards me?
I've said this many times.
I don't hate stuttering John Melendez.
I don't hate Opie.
I don't hate Aaron.
Don't hate any of these people.
I like to make fun of them.
It's a lot of fun, actually.
It's amazing.
I get to do this for a living.
It's not an animosity.
But these people, they hear people goof on them.
They go, oh, this guy hates me.
No, just the opposite, actually.
No, you just happen to be good at it.
Yeah.
I actually, sometimes I wake up in the morning,
and there's a couple links to videos
in my text time
and I go, what do they say today?
I'm excited about it.
Every day's Christmas.
I know.
So this guy thinks if a politician gives a speech
about a policy doesn't like,
he's against it,
he sees another politician,
gives a speech that he's for it.
They cross in the hallway.
They say, hey, Jim, hi, John.
This fucking guy's full of shit.
He hates me and my bill,
and he says hi to me.
Like, I don't know who he is.
Aaron, Chad, John,
they're all stuck in high school,
and they think this is all real friends and real life stuff.
They don't understand that we're all attracted to this dabbled verse thing.
We all have this in common, so we're coming at it with that first, this other stuff.
Second, you're just so alone and this stuff means so much to him that that's what the coping thing is.
It doesn't matter what people are saying, just when he sees people talking about him.
It's so hurtful, and he thinks it's the same for you.
He thinks it doesn't matter what he's saying.
You must be coping just to see me.
confident and relaxed and just giving you the business,
you must not care about the actual details,
which is all we care about.
It's that wrestling fan on the bleachers yelling,
it's still real to me, damn it.
Or Aaron, he doesn't realize the faces and the heels
get together and have dinner together.
It's like, yeah, this isn't like real life.
I'm sure Shulie doesn't have any animosity towards you.
I don't either.
He wouldn't care.
Right.
Because he's not really thinking.
Why would we give a shit?
Carl, like, these aren't, you know, the sturdiest guys.
So I don't blame him.
I understand.
I'm totally fine with it because I know where it's coming from.
The guy needs money.
And, like, look, ever since that lawsuit got served,
pro, you'd better start stockpiling.
One 10 away from today.
All we have.
Seamless.
This fucking guy.
The guy needs money.
That guy needs money.
All right.
We want $110 right now.
Let's go.
Benbow, PayPal, Rumble rands.
Holy shit.
Yeah, this is a guy who literally has court on August 29th against two people.
And then again, on October.
That's the HROs against Nick and Patrick.
Because he's a scared bitch who's afraid and needs these people to be 500 or 1,000 feet away from him at all time.
He's very nervous.
Patrick Melton is going to be a meany-bo-geney to him.
But there's no animosity.
No animosity.
So he's got that coming up on August 29th, if he doesn't kick the can again.
And then he's got October 2nd to find out the sentencing for his felony and gross misdemeanor charges.
And he's sitting there going, geez, these guys, I'd hate to be them.
He would love to be me.
And somehow the advice he gives is not from any of the experience he's had.
It's not like, I've been through this, let me tell you.
It's just from his vast legal knowledge.
He fucking hasn't learned anything.
How could he give advice?
I don't know anything.
All right. Let's get an update on Howard Stern.
The Hollywood Reporter came out with an article today saying Howard Stern
tries to own the rumor mill of his serious XM demise.
A promo running on the satellite radio giant is leaning into the chaos of the Stern
show's cancellation and teasing the host himself will reveal all on September 2nd.
It starts with some background.
Of course, we all know about what's going on with the Sun article saying that he's getting
canceled when really his contract is up for renewal at the end of this year.
And it said in that article, people forget this.
It said in that article that sources say,
serious will make an offer to Howard Stern.
But the concern is that it won't be enough money for Howard to say yes to.
So there's a chance that Howard decides to cut ties.
But he's not getting canceled.
He's not getting fired.
They just can't offer him $100 million a year anymore
because he doesn't have the audience that he used to have.
So it says there's a line reads like a work the ref's blind quote.
It puts both stern and serious on notice that it could be a breaking point while also being fed into the media ecosystem with plenty of time on the clock to reach a new deal before the host contract is up.
Now, unlike prior negotiation dramas, the wildcard is which side may want to walk away this time.
At least that may be the tabloid's premise.
It pages the lawyers and dealmakers for both sides to get serious or not.
While it seems unlikely the serious ex-time is looking to shed itself of its most recognizable asset,
in a tough moment for the radio giant,
its consumer-facing app underperformed
and has been stuck around 33 million subscribers for years
while navigating the rise of podcast-driven era
that has threatened its walled garden.
It doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility
that the company is looking for Stern
to take a home team discount.
In any case, on Wednesday,
a promo began running on Series XM, that's today,
began running on Sirius X-XM leaning into the drama.
Now, I tried to find this promo,
but no one's put it out there
and I don't listen to Sirius M, and I'm not going to sit there
to listen to it, waiting for a promo to come up.
It says, this is what the promo is saying.
The tabloids have spoken.
Howard Stern fired, canceled, is really bye-bye, buoy?
Chaos is swirling at the Howard Stern show.
In tone, a movie trailer-ready narrator in the ad running on Series XM.
Did staffers talk to the press?
Are writers withholding their best jokes?
Nobody knows what's going on or who to trust.
Naturally, the promo is set up for Stern himself.
It says, now we can reveal,
all the questions will be answered, all the truth will be told by the one man truly on the
inside. Howard Stern will speak Tuesday, September 2nd. And this article in the Hollywood
reporters says, well played. Now, I don't know if I agree with that. So they're trying
to lean in this to be like, hey, this is a great promotion. Howard Stern's going to be back from
his summer break, and you can tune in and hear what he has to say. Will I tune in here?
What he has to say? Yes, I host a show about this kind of stuff. So I will.
definitely will. I don't know that people are still going to be interested in it weeks from now.
The problem with all of this is that this all went down in early August, and Howard had four
weeks to go before he was going to do his show again. If this had happened while he's doing his
show, this could have been great for it, because I would have been tuning in. I think a lot of people
would have been tuning in to hear what Howard had to say about it. But this is all going to die
down. People are not going to be as interested in this come September 2nd. It's already kind of
waning a little bit.
There's been a lot of new stories, staffers coming out, a lot of speculation, a lot of
interesting analysis of it.
But that's not going to hold up for very much longer, which is why I think it's interesting.
Eric Nagel came on this show, and he really thinks that the Howard Stern team are the ones
who leaked the initial information to the sun to try to put up like a little trial
balloon and see what this would do and he thinks it backfired other people think serious are the ones
who put that out there in order to leverage their negotiations because all of the responses been like
yeah fuck Howard no one listens to him anymore and he sucks so it gives them an opportunity to be like
yeah we're definitely not paying you as much as we used to pay you like people don't seem to care
if you're here or not I think Eric would know better than other people so I think that yeah
I think maybe the Howard Stern's team put that out there and it completely
completely backfired, and now they're in full on damage control, where they had that other article where an inside source was telling this publication that Howard's excited for the challenge and can't wait to start working for a new video streaming service, like Netflix or HBO, Max.
It's like, who would care?
Yeah.
Who's signing it for Netflix because Howard Stern has a show there?
They're not signing for Sirius for it.
Who's signing up to Sirius to hear what Howard's going to say about whether he's going to stay or go?
That's not a...
Well, also, these promos are on Sirius, so you already have to have Sirius even here
these promos.
It's not like these are, I mean, maybe they will do a promotion for, they've done TV commercials
and things like that before, but I'll be surprised if they're promoting Howard Stern on
serious.
They're too busy promoting Elks Cooper and SmartList and Stephen A. Smith.
They have Trevor Noah.
That's a horrible hire.
What a boring bore Trevor Noah is.
Well, they still have Gail King, though, right?
I know.
I mean, I don't know what Series X's model.
I don't know what they're doing.
It's crazy.
I think what Eric pointed out so correctly, he shed a light on the fact that wherever it came from,
this is not news or an article.
These are plants.
These are corporate plants.
These are like when celebrities are testing out a divorce.
They just want both of these sides to leave, you know, the best they can and unhurt.
And they are testing out and feeling out what stockholders are going to say, what the public is going to say, what the backlash is going to be.
Are fans going to freak out?
Are people going to say good riddance?
And they're floating it out and trying to gain, you know, control over it.
It's stated as fact right now.
And I don't believe this is true.
But it's now being stated as fact that Howard Stern went from 20 million listeners down to 125,000 listeners.
That is a horrible trend.
That's a giant plunge from your listenership.
And nobody who hosts a show.
wants to talk to fewer and fewer people over time.
Aaron M. Holt.
Nobody wants to do that.
Aaron spins it as it's great.
I love it.
These are the people I want to talk to.
I'm just watching you cope.
It's amazing.
It's amazing.
And I was talking to Adam about this earlier in the day today.
I know we say we don't discuss things ahead of that.
This one we did discuss out of that.
And I was telling him, I was telling Adam, him, you're right here.
I'm telling you, Adam.
This fucking guy.
It's so I'm able.
I know.
That's telling Adam.
I want to put together what I think are the top 10 reasons why this audience has abandoned Howard Stern.
Because obviously, myself and a lot of my friends who I've talked to about Howard Stern for years have stopped listening to him.
And all of us have dropped out at different points for different reasons.
And so I think I have a top 10 list.
Now, Anna's response to that was going to explain what you thought your reasoning.
You're like, well, of course people stopped listening to them.
that was the plan for Howard.
Well, I just think he was like a musician
who stopped making the music that he was
popular for. It wasn't like an accident.
He was, he wanted to make something different.
He wanted a different audience.
He wanted to be a different kind of broadcaster.
So he wasn't surprised that the people
who want to hear, you know,
the guy getting his balls hammered by the,
you know, with the nails and the whole thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That guy's not the same person that wants to hear
what Jennifer Aniston had for breakfast that day.
Like this is a different.
audience and he was going for them so I just think he didn't care that's what he wanted to do so I don't
think he's disappointed I think he doesn't want to be that guy or he's embarrassed of certain things
then he has to hide so he just says forget it all and it does the way he treats his fans if that's it
does go along with how he treats his employees and personal relations just we're done we're done
that's it I don't know you an explanation it's over I'm going to do what I'm going to do
and when it's music we we don't mind it as much like I saw Bob Dylan and this person in the
bathroom was complaining to his friend, not a shadow of the man he used to be.
And I was like, they're right.
And Bob would take that as a compliment.
He doesn't want to be that other guy.
He's reinvented himself.
Yeah.
What Howard's trying to do, unfortunately, it wasn't a seamless transition.
And there's definitely truth to that.
We saw in the leaked Pelican brief where Howard's addressing his staff, he literally came
out and said, our listeners are homophobes.
He doesn't want those people listening to his show anymore.
He's embarrassed by the audience that he built.
And he probably does want to have soccer moms or people who watch the view because he went on the view to promote himself.
He probably does want to switch over the audience.
The problem is you still want to have an audience.
So if you alienate everyone, then you have failed miserably.
So here's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to give you my top 10 reasons why he has lost his audience from $20 million down to $125,000.
And normally I would make fun of this sort of thing.
But please let us know what you think in the comments section.
Did you stop listening to Howard Stern?
Why?
Why did you stop listening to Howard Stern?
Number 10, therapy.
He's always been neurotic.
He's always been into meditation and therapy.
But it got way out of control.
Every conversation, every guest turned into some kind of therapy moment.
And it got predictable and obnoxious and not fun.
There's nothing fun about therapy.
That's fair.
Therapy is a thing you do to work
on yourself. You're doing an entertainment
show. Why would you bring therapy into this?
Downright cringy when he does it. He starts
whispering and shit. Yeah.
It's really creepy. And everyone
who goes to therapy thinks they're a therapist at some
point. Like, I go to the doctor.
I don't, at a certain point, be like,
I could probably be a physician.
Why'd you tell me to turn left and cough?
It's one of my tricks.
He got me. Adam knows about it.
Oh, I didn't even get to that.
part of the Aaron clip
where he called you and me gay, Adam.
That's a good one.
All right.
Never been done before.
He's out of hack at all.
Number nine,
the death of the whack pack.
Now, some of this is because of some of the greats have
passed away. Eric the actor, Riley Martin,
Hank the angry drunken dwarf.
Of course, that was a while ago.
But they also stopped fighting new members of the whack pack to
replace the old ones. At a certain point,
Stern kind of abandoned that thing.
And the Wackpack used to be such an integral part of the show.
It's such a fun part of the show.
And they're really not doing segments on Wackpack stuff anymore.
And it's funny.
You can see some of them on other radio shows.
Like Sour Shoes pops up on sports radio and new shows all the time.
Like there's a desire to see them.
Howard just, he wanted to kill him.
He didn't want to see him.
King of All Blacks is calling into Rocco show now.
And so is Wendy the Retard?
there's someone landing on their feet
that's good to hear
number eight
America's Got Talent
in 2012
NBC decided to move
the entire production
of this reality TV show
from L.A. to New York City
just so Howard could be a judge
on America's Got Talent
which was wild
I remember when that happened
I was still a very avid
Howard Stern listener
holy shit this is incredible
a lot of
the fans were turned off by this because now you got Howard and he's on primetime television
he's acting like a goofball and they're like oh this isn't the shock jock that I knew so I think
that turned off a lot of people number seven Jimmy Kimball's influence Hollywood Howie
so Howard married a woman who was interning with the David Letterman show
you know Beth Estrusky and she loves to be around celebrities she wants celebrity friends
Howard likes celebrity friends as well.
So Jimmy Kimble comes in and goes,
hey, I can introduce you to celebrity friends.
And Howard's like, that's awesome.
Let's do that.
And so now it's dinner parties and vacations
and hanging out with A-listers.
Shulie told a story on Pointe Davelpoint on Monday
that was fascinating
about how they have like this writers,
I'll call it a Slack channel.
That's what people mostly know about these days.
But it's like one of those things where everyone's collaborating.
online and it's all employees of the Howard Stern Show or writers for Howard Stern
show and all of a sudden one day Jimmy Kimmel is now in the Slack channel and like
what what's what's this all about like Howard invited him to be in and just like yeah
you tell me how to run my show and if anyone has followed Jimmy Kimmel's career
you you could see that he's a total sellout it's worked out very well for him he's hosting
the fucking Oscars he can't be more of a sellout than that so it's it's worked out well
But some of the other things that happened with
Howie becoming Hollywood Howie
is he's making up with Kathy Lee Gifford
and Rosie O'Donnell and Ellen DeGeneres.
Howard had a bachelor wedding with Beth on Ellen's show.
This is insane.
This is a man who used to clown these people
and we're all for it.
We're like, yeah, Ellen sucks.
Rosie really fucking sucks.
We don't like Kathy Lee Gifford.
And when he makes up with these people,
we go, what happened?
We still don't like those people.
What are you doing?
Why is that?
It's not like he was right to begin with
and that Ellen turned out to be a horrible person.
I mean, he...
Yeah, wait a second.
Good point.
Right.
Right.
He went on the view and it's like he never used the N word.
He got called out and he goes, no, that was Daniel Carver.
I just had this guy from the Ku Klux Klan on the show.
Yeah, that's true.
But also you too, man.
What do you mean?
And Whoopi is just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's fine.
Move it on.
So that's number seven.
Number six, A-list celebrities becoming the guests.
Now, this is very much after the Pelicans.
in brief. This was the whole goal back in 2012, Marcy Turk coming in and getting things done.
And it was all about like, hey, we got to get some A-listers in here. And that completely changed the
interview format. Now it's about kissing ass. And it's not about having interesting interviews.
It's the same bullshit you can see anywhere with the publicist is approving the questions
and what they're going to talk about. And I always say, anyone who comes into an interview
with a publicist, skip.
It's not worth your time.
You're not going to hear anything interesting.
It says, I'll predetermined what you're going to hear about anything.
But that also did, getting the A-list celebrities, it meant no more fan favorites like Gilbert Godfrey.
Gilbert's gone.
Jennifer Anderson is in.
Huh?
I'm out.
Bye-bye.
Oh, that's interesting.
That explains why the news is gone, too, because you can't have a place where you're just going to free-form, make fun of stuff.
You might make fun of somebody's product
and they're coming on next week.
They're not going to come on.
Oh, my gosh.
Do you remember one of my favorite things
that Howard would deal on the news segment
is they'd play these interviews
with actors talking about whatever movie project they're in?
And they'd ask the question,
what was it like working with James Cameron?
Oh, my gosh.
James Cameron.
What an amazing director.
Right.
They just started clouding it
because they knew it was just going to be
this ridiculous bullshit.
And that was such a fun segment.
They can't do that anymore.
They have to kiss everyone's ass
just like the interviews
that we're making fun of.
That's number six.
Number five.
The show got scripted.
He was trying to do a monologue for a little bit.
I don't even remember that.
That was weird.
He started doing a monologue,
and it was so unnatural
and Howard's really bad at delivering that sort of thing.
That might have been what Jimmy Kimmel was writing for him.
But not just that.
The colors are fake.
Back and forth the staff members
who are doing impressions of other people.
And like the Alex Jones impressions,
and great, and some of the guys are really good,
but it's all scripted.
And it's obvious that they're, like, reading these lines,
like waiting for each other to read their part
and then going back and forth.
And we played on this show.
They even let GPT write scripts for them,
that they had little radio plays on their show
where they're all reading their parts.
Running the limel driver is acting.
Cool.
That's a good role for him, idiots.
Number four, the schedule.
five days a week
four days a week
three days a week
summer's off
I understand you're getting older
but it's a morning radio show
it has to be part of someone's routine
if you stop being there
people find somewhere else to go
and if you're taking two months off
every summer
then people are going to get into a different routine
and be like oh well I listen to this thing in the morning
and I don't need Howard anymore
I thought that was a really dumb move
but hey if I could have that kind of time off I would take it too
he'd be great he got out he stressed too much he was too verbal about
podcasting and zooming not being a thing it's not the real thing
he like really staked his claim on that to start doing it with no explanation
felt a little disingenuous number three
you guys following this so far what do you think about this is a pretty good list
yeah yeah it's not bad it's numerical people are going to complain about it
but I think it's pretty spot out because I don't know who created it so obviously
Number three is politics.
So you have the Trump derangement syndrome.
This has been well documented.
Howard really lost his mind when Donald Trump became president to the point where he told
Trump voters not to listen to him, which is a crazy thing to do.
He doesn't want Trump, just like I was talking about before where he didn't want
his audience listening to him anymore.
It's like the marketing VP at Bud Light.
He was like, yeah, I don't want frat boys drinking Bud Light.
You don't?
They drink a lot of Bud Light.
idiot
you got a lot of people listening to you
who voted for Trump
you know what I'm trying to get fired
right like what are you doing
fucking idiot
then he had the interviews
with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris
that were just a debacle
Hillary Clinton interview
he talked about going woke
he was all proud of himself
and he went woke
he's changing the names of whack packers
Gary the Conqueror
from Gary the retired
Wendy is a slow adult
what was this for
what are we doing
number two
we're getting into it now
Artie Lang
Arty Lang
leaving the show
this goes back to 2010
but I have a different angle on this
that wasn't Howard's fault
no already had a serious drug problem
and couldn't get a shit together
I the problem that I have with Artie Lang
leaving they never replaced
him yes
and I was very surprised when we found out like
yeah Artie's not coming back
and then they never tried to fill that chair.
Don't I know it?
Right.
When Jackie Martling left, they spent a year or two trying to fill the Jackie chair.
Seems like it to me.
I don't know how long it was.
But they brought in so many people to audition to win Jackie's chair.
Artie eventually winning it, although Adam Carolla said he was offered it before Artie was.
And Adam's like, yeah, yeah, I hosted my own show.
Thanks, I appreciate it.
but why wouldn't they have a comedian sitting in that chair?
And Artie was so different than Jackie.
Jackie was more of a writer.
Artie was a storyteller.
And it changed the show.
I think for the better.
I love the Jackie era.
I love the Artie era.
But why not have that third era?
They just decided,
we don't need a chair there.
And now it's just fucking Howard and Robin talking to each other.
They're not doing that show.
They're doing the show you described with a script and with focus on products.
And they don't want a while.
the show derailed by some brilliant story.
They want to plow your head.
And the number one reason why people stopped listening to Howard Sturred.
I'm sure you won't be surprised by this.
This is the reason why I stopped to listen to Howard Sturred, COVID.
Now, Howard was always agoraphobic.
That was always a thing for him.
He didn't like leaving the house.
He was scared of germs and all this stuff.
COVID hits and he loved it.
He was so excited.
Yeah, we shouldn't be going anywhere.
No one should be going anywhere.
We should just be in their house all the time.
Isn't this great?
This is how society should work?
This is fan-fuckettastic.
And I'm hating it.
March of 2020, I am losing my mind.
What's going on right now?
We're shutting down the world?
This is insane.
You can't do this.
This is terrible.
But he loved the lockdowns.
He believed that his dad could die from reading the newspaper.
He yelled at his dad because his dad was still reading the New York Times in the morning.
He was microwaving salads that were delivered.
You got to put that salad in the microwave or else he could die of COVID.
I remember his.
They didn't pivot well.
Like, they weren't ready for it.
So when they were doing shows from home at first, it sounded like shit.
No one had good microphones.
They weren't using good software.
So then they delivered, I don't know, $100,000 plus worth of equipment to Howard's house to set up a real studio.
And he had to leave it in the garage for two weeks.
In microwave.
Yeah.
And microwave it afterwards.
People would send him gifts and he was like, why are you doing this to me?
Yeah.
How could you do this?
to me, it was an assault.
So that's when I tapped out.
I was like, oh, I'm already bummed out about this, and Howard's, like, acting like, this is great.
I can't.
I can't listen to this anymore.
I'm ashamed that I lasted that long.
I know this show was bad for a while.
I knew that.
But it was my habit.
It was my guy.
It was my morning show.
Open Anthony went away.
So that's what I was listening to.
But, yeah, Howard was just rooting on everything that was horrible in the world.
And that's my number one reason why he lost his audience.
also to add fuel to that number one during COVID was when a lot of people went back and started listening to old Howard Stern for the first time a long time all those YouTube clips went up and very much like the way we cover John so much if we get a break we don't see him for two weeks when we come back we can't believe how he looks because we're so used to it people like you and I that had been listening to Howard that stopped went back and listened to the old stuff they went oh wow right this is what I've been looking for this whole
whole time. That is not that. This is it. And then through that, the YouTube algorithm actually said,
well, then you might like WATP. You might like The Anglico Show. And here we all are.
That's it. Thanks, Howard. Thank you for sucking. Thank you. We appreciate it. Guys, it's opi time.
All right, so this is interesting.
I actually got this note in from my buddy Anthony Coomia.
This recent video he just put up, it's called Opie lost his virginity to a manager.
Opie joined by Ron the waiter.
Nothing about that is interesting.
And yet, this video has 11,368 views.
Oh.
However, this is from 12 hours ago, 11,000 views with 54 thumbs up and six comments.
How is that possible?
Is he buying views?
Is the Opster buying views?
It looks like he is because this is not possible with the YouTube algorithm or anything else that we're looking at here.
I'm concerned about this.
Opie's also doing this thing.
now he's doing all the shows in vertical video.
He thinks everyone's watching on their phone
and they're watching it on vertical video.
It's not great.
It's not a good presentation.
You should probably stop that.
Also, fun fact, on your phone, you can turn it sideways.
What?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
But then the image will just be even smaller
and fixing the wrong way.
Well, no, well, yeah, the way he's doing it.
Correct.
It's not smart.
All right, so you checked out.
He did a video last night.
Yeah. I don't know the exact context. I know he did a long video and then shut it down and then came on again later. And I just caught this second part. It's 45 minutes long. It's every single second of it is there's so much to dissect. He was clearly processing something. Also, pay close attention to the voices he uses. He goes through a lot of different ones, some that feel real, some that feel crazier than before. But he's certainly.
Certainly going through a lot of things when he tries to just sound mundane and boring.
He actually sounds very, very accidentally interesting and dangerous, like this first clip where he just tells you what he did yesterday.
Uh-oh, sunsetseting earlier and earlier now.
That's not good.
But I had a peaceful day here.
All by myself, actually.
Yesterday, I took the kids fishing with my brother, was on a boat all afternoon.
We had a really, really good time.
It was the 21st anniversary of my dad getting crushed in a car accident.
He walked himself to an ambulance and then, you know, and then he kind of passed out and he never came back two days later.
He was gone and that day will be tomorrow, actually.
The fish sucked, Andy, actually.
We caught a porgy and we caught a dogfish and that was it.
but it was still a good time on my...
What a transition that was.
Wow.
That's incredible.
Talking about the death of his dad, the anniversary of it,
walk to an ambulance.
How did he do that?
And then he's like,
oh, thanks for asking about my fishing trip.
It was all right.
I mean, it wasn't great.
Okay.
As if the person interrupted that.
What kind of fish did you catch?
Yeah, enough about your dad.
Yeah.
Why did he see that?
And as soon as it starts,
I know I'm over-analysis.
But as soon as he starts, he's like, yep, spent the day by myself today with the family yesterday.
All day yesterday.
It was nonstop me being the greatest dad, took him out on the boat because it's, well, the anniversary of my father's death.
So, you know, we all want it to be together.
It's tomorrow, actually, tomorrow, right, when I'm alone now.
We talk about this.
We talk about this a lot.
And actually, I was on Husey show.
And I think Dean asked me this question where it used to be just observant report.
and so we check out Opie's show and we talk about it
and now we're getting into like did Opie murder his family
did his family leave him what's going on with these kids are we controlling Opie
well we're asking questions my response to Dean was
Opie never talked about his family that was kind of the reason why we never talked
about his family he didn't bring it up we don't bring it up he's talking about it a lot
lately and it seems like he's trying to do some type of damage control this is I think
where Adam's going with us.
Seems to be some kind of damage control thing where he's trying to cover up for something.
Well, the things he's involved in never seem to be the things his family's involved in.
You know, he deals with the air conditioner, but we don't hear their take on it.
You know, it's all this solo stuff, but I'm starting to think he's just not being completely
honest with us.
Okay.
Let's find out what he's up to today.
Yep.
And today was back to school shopping, so my wife grabbed the kids and they
been gone all day. They're at their final stop right now, so I didn't have to do that, thank
God, because I would just get in the way. They enjoy spending all day going to Target and
Staples and Starbucks and getting tacos and I'm like, oh man, do I have to do this? My wife's,
no, you don't have to. They'll just be in the way, and I'm like, thank you. That's why
you're cool so they're gone they should be back soon though but uh there there you go a lot of
details in that all day back to school shopping a lot of stops on that route and one thing that i
picked up on is it's going to get later the family never comes home which i've done a little bit
to school shopping in my day doesn't stretch out to midnight it's not one of those things where it's like
yeah the movie went long right it's kind of weird
there's a couple things to unpack there also why is his knowledge of his children like he's just making it up like he's never met a kid you know they're like tacos and Starbucks and Target you know their interests also I think language is important and one of the things that tipped off the cops that Chris Watts had in fact annihilated his entire family was that while he was on the news asking for their safe return he referred to them in the
the past tense, which is not something you would do if you thought they were still alive.
Now, I know I'm nitpicking, but I never referred to my family running errands as their
final stop like that.
They're resting at their, they're probably at their final stop right now.
It just sounded very, like when Aaron talks about, you know, things bouncing off him and
it just feels good.
Like, he doesn't know what he's saying when he says that.
The other thing I just picked up on now listening to this is,
Opie is this multi-millionaire
who lives in the Hamptons
and the upper west side of Manhattan
and his kids go to a back to school shopping at Target?
I'd be pretty bummed out about that
about those kids.
I was actually taking all this at face value
and believing it for the sake of the opster.
Sure.
All I heard was how much money they're spending.
Oh, you think that's what he's bummed out about?
Starbucks?
I mean, we can go to Dunkin' Donuts, guys.
You don't need tacos?
You know, I need Starbucks.
This is also the third or fourth story
we've heard in the last couple months
about things like this happening while he's either
asked to stay home, chooses to stay home
or just doesn't go at all.
Like, they don't want him there. He doesn't want to be there.
Or he has to stay in the car.
Yeah, this is weird. He's not including
in family activities.
They don't want him there.
All right.
But wow, it's getting dark quick here.
It's actually a lot darker in person.
I don't know. The phone is like
keeping it pretty lit.
It's a lot darker.
It's starting to get scary
out here.
That's when the monsters come out.
I think there's a meteor shower
tonight.
Opie, can you point to the monster?
Oh, no.
What's going on here?
Nighttime is scary.
That's when the other side of me comes out.
The wine drinking side.
Yeah.
The purple-mouth monster comes out at nighttime.
Also, we can't resist the weather report
with a fucking meteor shower.
Not that that's weather.
I know, but he's still.
he has to tell you that little side piece.
I'm so glad you picked up on that the same way I did
because it's just different when he says it.
It's not natural.
The segways are too much.
He's just like, yeah, the monsters, they come and hunt for me.
But how's our sports teams doing this morning?
How's the weather doing?
He's just like, he's over 60 years old, talking about scary
and the monsters come out.
Yeah.
My brain would never go there.
No.
My brain is just like, hey, look at there's fireflies.
Meat.
His kids are too old for that.
I know.
What's going on?
Since Opie doesn't have a show and there's nothing else really happening except what's going on in his head, he's very excited by some of the changes in YouTube's updates.
So he decides to take a poll.
Nice.
All right.
I'm going to start a poll.
It says start a poll.
Ask your community optional.
All right.
It says start a poll.
Okay.
Do you like...
me oh no oh no okay oh i know it's cool that that made the chat go all right the chat's back
yay yay me all right all right like and subscribe thank you master squirrels okay so we got a poll
going right now the poll is do you like me and you can either answer yes or no and
All right, this is something that I've heard in my life.
Never ask a question you don't want the answer to.
Is that herpes?
You don't want to know.
We're going through with this either way, right?
So, why even ask?
Do you like me?
That's the worst possible poll he could put up.
Even Chad Zubox clotted this guy for that poll.
I don't want to go school shopping.
There are monsters after me.
Let's take a poll to you.
Like, what is going on?
What is going on with this man's psyche?
he's not, it started
as pretending to be
a little kid now. He's like
regressing to cope with
whatever this shit is. And I looked it up
and that's a thing that people turn
into like, you know, like when you don't
want to deal with your father doing whatever
that just was, you just kind of
resort back to that person and go
fishing and try and ignore it. And that's
like the least of his demons we know about.
Anyway, the results are in. Let's see how he did.
All right. Thank you.
when you're when you're when you when you're listening to all the old
oh i grabbed the wrong leg number five that's my fault yep let me grab that
this is important we want to know how this works out for him i put a lot of money on it
let's check on the poll um youtube asked me to do a poll so i did one it's it's uh the question
do you like me and it looks like uh 63 percent
of you said yes and sadly 37% of you said no oh you suck all right and poll i don't want to see that
anymore thank you wow yeah what'd you think was gonna happen i actually thought it was going to be
the reverse of yeah i was shocked but this is a weird time for him to be streaming so you know
adam happened to catch it i didn't know he was doing a nighttime stream so i guess it's
It's the people who are actually interested in what he has to say.
But still, more than a third of the people watching him don't like him.
I just like how he read the 63% so happy and didn't know what the other.
He wasn't expected.
There wasn't undecided.
I don't know.
That's a good point.
I want Aaron Ivold to run that poll on his show on YouTube.
See what that comes up with.
I just knew whatever would happen, it would end with him being miserable.
And that's what we got.
63%. It's a blowout victory, and it's still not enough for him.
It's great. Yeah, you're right.
But it doesn't matter because Opie is in it for the art, as he demonstrates here in this next clip.
When you're listening to all the old Opie and Anthony stuff as I sit here and suffer.
I sit here and suffer trying to get, just trying to get a few extra downloads of my new stuff.
And then I got to hear from the fans, oh, today I was listening to a show for,
from 2010 with Patrice O'Neill.
Oh, were you?
That's great.
I did new stuff today.
Today.
Was Patrice O'Neill
on your new stuff today?
Was anyone funny on your new stuff today?
Was anyone else there?
Yeah.
It's like,
as I hope we not understanding why we're more impressed
with the Opie and Anthony stuff
than the Opie radio stream?
He's not understanding that we can't believe
this is the guy that was just saying,
he doesn't care what people think he does this because he loves it and he would do it forever regardless of who listened whoever says this is a job and they suffer because of it is full of shit and a baby that's what he said if you're complaining about this job he's complaining about doing it from his home you're the only guy who has it easier than howard that's true and he continues along these same lines where he's uh revealing more than he knows as he starts to give us a glimpse into his inner demons oh blake uh wants
It's a ghost story.
I don't have any ghost stories, no.
No, no, and no.
I think the ghosts are leaving me alone these days, which is nice.
I like that.
I like when they leave me the F alone.
There's something, right?
You feel the presence sometimes, right?
You can't write a job.
As soon as I step into a house, I can tell you if there's, like, spirits or a presence in that house,
you can just feel it, right?
What is that?
Is it because they got bad light bulbs?
Is it because the house is older?
What is it?
Or you're walking and the hair just stands up on the back of your neck.
You just feel like there's some kind of energy in that house.
School supplies everywhere.
Hey, what's up, Rick?
Oh, witchcraft.
What's up, buddy?
Outside having a cigar and a beer, uh, chilling and listening to the Opser, right on, man.
Obey.
You said, can you tell a ghost story?
No, okay?
Then you started to tell a ghost story.
Right.
And when we were talking earlier about ghosts, about how, you know, maybe we don't believe they're real necessarily.
If I said, you know, well, the best thing I love about ghosts is that they're finally leaving me alone, right, guys?
Isn't that nice to finally get a break from him?
That's what I like about him.
What?
Like, that was very real for him.
I'm not being haunted by demons lately, so I got that going for me.
Best thing I can say about him.
Wow.
Okay.
Yeah, it's very revealing.
And then he, of course, he has to just say it anyway.
But then when he finally decides to tell a ghost story, he actually doesn't tell one because he has to be contradictory.
But when I was growing up, one of the stupid things we did when we were bored, you piled the guys into somebody's, you know, car, you get a few beers.
And then you're like, where are we going to drink tonight?
That's his voice.
We had dirt roads in Centerport.
We had the schools.
We would go down to the harbors, like Centerport Harbor, Northport Harbor.
But every once in a while, someone would go, let's go to the Amniville Horror House.
So we would actually take the drive to Amniville.
And, oh, man, it is truly a creepy house with the windows and whatnot.
Some idiot.
I say idiot.
Because even if you don't believe in, like, a presence or ghosts or spirits, why the F would you ever buy that house?
But someone did.
Because don't you think your mind would play tricks on you, that you bought the Amniville Horror House?
Matter if you don't believe.
And to their credit, though, they completely changed the outside of the house.
Mostly so the tourists would stop coming by, people like me at the time, with my friends drinking beers.
Jesus.
Yeah.
Well, I've seen Opio Unleashed.
I know he's afraid of spooks.
Oh.
Had to go there.
So, yeah, he almost told a story, but then he didn't.
Yeah.
And he said he was scared.
He's like, yeah, the house is scared.
You know, there's something in the windows, he said.
There's something in the glass there that I don't like.
Granted, they redid the house, took down all the glass and put up new ones.
Okay.
So then what the fuck are you talking about?
It's completely...
He saw the movie.
He drove by there drinking beers, though.
And beers, like John says, beers.
I'd be more scared of a DUI than of ghosts in that scenario.
Drive the speed limit, guys, make complete stops.
But at least he was a man of his word.
He can't tell a ghost story.
That was definitely not a good story.
Now, this next clip blew me away because I thought we had established that Opie is a hero.
Like Aquaman, he speaks to the ocean, the marine life speaks to him.
He is one mind-melded.
He can see a riptide from 50 years.
There's a riptide over there.
You can feel it.
The moon checks with him before it casts a shadow.
He's all over it.
So this was shocking.
When is the last time you swam in the ocean at night?
Oh my God, it's been years.
It's been years.
I used to have no fear of the ocean.
And over the years, I don't know.
I don't know what changed.
but I'm a scaredy cat now
I've said it many times but when I first started living out here
you'd go for a swim middle of summer
I would jump in the ocean you know
you want the good conditions
and then I would swim as far as I could
out into the ocean and just lay on my back
and look up in the sky
without a thought in my head
without any fear
and I don't even want to
want to swim, I don't know, 50 yards out at this point.
And as far as swimming at night, I couldn't tell you.
Well, you did tell us.
I'm dead, yeah.
You explained it.
What if sons of, fans of yours were drowning?
The children of neighbor fans were drowning.
Would you be inspired then?
It's night time.
Yeah, it's crazy.
And this sense of heroism doesn't apply to his career or to his relationships as he does
not want to make amends with his old friends in this next clip.
Make up with Jimmy and Aunt.
Oh, my God.
Dude, what are you doing?
I have indifference towards both those guys.
And I'm good.
Yeah, I'm good.
That's what indifference looks like.
Imagine we didn't like those guys,
the kind of shit that he'd be saying.
Indifference.
You've got so hard in the paint against Jim Norton and Anthony Cooby.
like, I can go either way with those guys.
I don't care.
And it goes on and on.
You can't hear the segue
before it.
He's acting like he's this happy,
happy guy, positive, and then he reads
just the name Jim Norton, and he goes,
eh, like everything
just deflates. But also, can I point out,
it's very dark.
It's late at night now.
The family's out, back to school
shopping still? Yep.
Family has not come home yet.
He's streaming
mornings, evenings,
There's no one around, not even doggy.
There's no one around.
What happened?
He says, I pulled it, but then I cut the clip.
At some point, he says, I know it seems like nobody's around.
The neighbors aren't here, but everybody's just chilling.
That's what he said.
He goes, everybody's just chilling.
It's a shallow gray, but they're chilling down there.
All right.
That would explain the demons.
This show is for entertainment purposes only.
Have I mentioned that yet?
This is not a legal advice show.
This is for entertainment purposes.
This show is he's the one using his show for therapy or for like late-night suicide calls.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know, I know.
He's putting us into this position.
We don't want to be here.
This is crazy, I know.
So Opie has a new producer on the show, it turns out.
Yes, and it's YouTube.
Yeah, I remember earlier on YouTube's like, do you want to create a poll?
He's like, oh, yeah, I guess.
Fuck, I guess.
They're in charge now.
He's very suggestible, this Opster.
Oh, I can start another poll.
Wait, and I could also start a Q&A.
Oh, no.
All right.
All right.
I'm going to start Q&A on YouTube.
What does this mean?
It means you're about to get pissed off.
Do you like me?
Ask a question.
Oh, and then they...
No, that's stupid.
I don't want to do that.
How do I get rid of that?
No, I don't want to do this.
Oh, my God.
Now I'm stuck with it.
No, I don't want to...
How do I get rid of the...
Oh, okay, drag.
All right, no, we're not...
doing that.
Ask a question.
These guys would ask a question.
This is like before the show,
producer Chris and I were yelling
about how I didn't have my cactus turned on.
Yeah.
And I was complaining to my producer
about not telling me to turn my cactus on.
He's doing that with the YouTube.
30%.
What?
It's crazy.
E. Rock can tell us, that must
be what it was like to work with him.
You come to him with an idea.
He's extremely excited.
This is great.
We're going to do this.
Two seconds later, he hates it.
you can't do it. It's a terrible idea.
It's all sucks, and it's your fault.
Awesome. All right, one more clip out here.
Yep, he leaves us reminding us what it's all about.
Oh, good.
Did you ever get anything signed by Patrice?
There are only facsimile, sorry, that exists now for sale.
I should point out, too, the screen is completely black.
I mean, I could turn it off from our screen.
The sun is going down on OP for sure.
We can't see anything.
I don't know why he's doing this, but okay.
Basically, everybody from Open Anthony's signed CDs and whatnot, except his, I'd pay you.
I don't need money.
Yes, you do.
Yes, you do.
Let me see.
I'll look around.
I don't need money, though.
Well, no, I need, like, super chats, but I don't want you to pay me if I have a Petriece autograph.
I would just give it to you.
I'm trying to think if I have anything.
That's funny.
I was given one of his hats when he died.
You know, Patrice wore those kind of pimp hats, especially when he was performing.
And he had a collection of them.
But I believe I was given one of the ones that he used in Elephant in the Room.
I don't know how long to go out of this clip.
No, that's it.
That's it.
It's, I don't think they gave him the most personal hat to Patrice.
I really don't think they went through his wardrobe and were like,
Oh, this meant so much to Patrice, we have to give it to Opie.
It reminds me of earlier in the show, he talks about how he, his kids went to school with Chris Rock's kids, and he would see Chris Rock every once in a while.
And he says, every time I saw Chris Rock, Chris would say, hey, it's Opie.
Still doing it, huh?
And I'm like, I believe he said that to you every time.
That sounds right.
I believe whatever that hat was, they wanted you to have that one, Opie.
So I have a huge takeaway from what we just watched.
Please.
Aside from your theory that the family is buried.
underneath the house.
Factual, right, the evidence in the...
Right, yeah, yeah, that part is...
I'm neither here nor there on that.
Wouldn't be surprised, you know, whatever, either.
But I noticed something that Opie wasn't doing the over-the-top voices
and working out the characters and the hater voices
because he wasn't watching himself.
This is what makes Opie Opie in 2025.
He's staring back in himself, performing for Opie.
So that's why he's making all these wild hand gestures.
and going into these characters and saying all these words funny because he's entertaining
himself the same way a child would entertain himself like you were saying before he's reverted
back into being a child again that's my take he doesn't know how to heat up dinner he doesn't
know how to turn on the air conditioning he sounds like he's been up all night talking to no one
about stuff from his past and and who's going to be with him on this anniversary of his
dad's death. He explained a lot to say no one. He's going to be alone on that day. And he's
telling us about it, which makes me feel obligated to, like, send a basket or something.
I know. Yeah. Edible arrangements.
We'll chip in and get run a mattress and say it's from Opie, like something. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That'd be good.
You know what I don't love is lawsuits.
I got a bloody ass
I'm bleeding
generously
because I got a bloody ass
Do you guys remember when John was talking about
how he knew he was being recorded
and he purposely lied to Kate Meaney
and he was telling her all this bullshit
that's not true so it wouldn't even matter
if he was being recorded because all of it was just fake
and that's what he does to people
and integrity verification
and it's weird
because it turns out he actually did care about that a lot
lot.
Huh?
Yeah.
I think maybe it's because
those shows were successful.
And so he sees an opportunity there.
But this is what I want to say about stuttering John.
Because I don't know if people think I can't talk about, John.
I don't use this word very often.
John is a faggot.
John Melendez is a fucking faggot.
He gets very bad advice and he's too stupid to know what to do with it.
So I just wanted to throw that out there about my buddy, John.
I got served a lawsuit yesterday, twice.
And I told this story on the bonus show, but I think it's worth telling again.
It's kind of funny.
Now, obviously, it broke over the weekend that this lawsuit was filed with the court
and Cardiff came on Sunday morning and had it all there and read through the whole thing with O.J.
and Rocco, and they did a whole segment on it.
And then we talked about it on Point Debel Point a little bit on Monday.
Kaylee and Luigi Greenberg
did a great job talking about it over on
Kaylee's channel on Monday night
going through everything
so Tuesday morning
I'm just out of the shower getting ready
for the day and the doorbell rings
I'm like fuck I throw on clothes I run down there
and the process server's there and he's like
hey you expecting me? I was like yep
sure am hands me the paperwork
I said all right thanks man
have a great day
and I get a lawsuit
handed to me so then
later that afternoon
like four o'clock or something hours later he's back again that's weird you committed another
crime rings the doorbell comes up to me hands me a second one and these are thick this this is a thick
documents a lot of pages i go oh what's this he goes oh they had to make a change i go oh could you
tell me what the changes is like i don't know so i got to just read through this and figure out what the
changes okay cool so um i was like oh you know what i bet it is
So I flipped to the third page, a fourth page, it looks like.
Yep, sure enough, it was the typo.
The attorney spelling his name wrong in the signature line,
the electronic signature line of the lawsuit that was pointed out by multiple people
that he spelled his own name wrong.
So they had to go back and reprint every freaking page in order to get that right.
And then send this guy out to hand it to me again in order to get this right.
what's hilarious about it is the guy comes up to me for the second time he's a happy
and lucky guy process servers have a fun day right sure looking around handing people paperwork
they don't want they don't want to deal with and he comes up to the door and uh hands it to me
and I go I just want you to know this is the funniest thing you've ever handed someone
and he looks at me and he goes oh I know really you know what this is he goes oh yeah I read it
It's like, you, wait, you read this?
Oh, I know who's wondering John is.
I'm a Howard Stern fan.
And you have a new listener.
He saw what this was and started listening to WATP.
And he had enough time to process it because he was driving around all day and saw the thing earlier that had to do it again in the afternoon.
He was actually a new driveway from four hours.
Yeah, like we were chatting for a while.
And I know this sounds like an air and him whole thing to say that like, wow, yeah, even the processor was high-fiving me and shit.
But I swear to God, this actually happened.
where the processor and I were bonding over this stuff.
And I'm like, yeah, it's pretty fucking stupid.
He's like, oh, well, all right, man, have a good one.
I'll be listening.
We listen to John try and create this fake conversation with every delivery person
that came to this house and it would never work out.
You're telling me it finally happened.
Is that the craziest thing that this guy comes up and hands me this?
That's insane.
Yeah, and it's insane that it was poorly written because when I was doing my research,
I looked up on Steeltoe and Aaron Himmholt said it was very well written.
So I find this shocking and surprising.
I know Aaron thought very differently about this than everyone else who's looked at it.
Well, Aaron's a guy who had a good time in lockup.
That's true.
Catching up on books and sleep.
He shares apple juice with the other inmate.
Who could forget the apple juice.
Jesus Christ.
If Aaron thinks that he's fooling anyone, but that's not the point.
The point is that, yes, I have a lawsuit here.
That is in Shulie and me and TSN and WATP are the four defendants of this.
And we're going to have to do something about it.
The ball is in my court, as they say.
So that's what we'll be working on.
Again, if you want to see analysis of this, Lucy does dabbleverse Monday night on the Once Over with Kaylee YouTube channel.
Her and Luigi Greenberg, who is an attorney, we're talking about it.
law firm. And she works at a law firm.
She deals with this kind of
legal mumbo jimbo
all day, every day.
So
speaking of my buddy stuttering
John. Oh, and I didn't get to
this clip either with Aaron. These things go on forever.
But the other thing that Aaron Inhold
said in the clips that I was watching
is that, you know, I fucked up
because I took the shortcut
or whatever he was saying. And now I can't even talk
about John anymore. Dummy, you
said you read the lawsuit. I most
certainly can talk about John.
This has nothing to do with talking about John.
Could you imagine?
I would say he's thinking of himself, but he still talks about everything, so it doesn't
fucking matter.
Right.
He's the one about to talk about people. Yeah, he's the one that's not allowed to talk about
people.
I want to talk about John.
And John is promoting a stand-up gig that may or may not happen because a lot of them
getting canceled because he's not a draw.
No, it gives a shit.
And leaving the devil.
Because people are threatening violence against women, Carl.
No, that's not the reason, Adam.
It turns out.
Men are safe.
It turns out that leaving the dabble verse was not good for
his star power.
Turns out nobody gives a shit.
But he's still out there.
He's still doing it.
And he is on morning TV and the morning news program promoting.
Our next guest is a man who proves you can go from stuttering John to stunning crowds.
I guarantee you know him from his house.
That's not even good copy.
No.
I mean, it's inaccurate.
But also, it's just not even good.
Who wrote that?
From stuttering John to stunning crowds?
Yeah.
All right.
Well, he's been on this channel before.
I think he wrote that.
Maybe.
Oh, my gosh.
He's been on this channel just recently.
He was promoting a show down in Naples that he did.
I guess he's back in Southwest Florida, where he lives.
Hilarious years on the Howard Stern show where he mastered the art of asking the questions no one else dared to.
And from the Tonight Show at Jay Leno, where he went from prank calls to primetime lasts.
He's been a radio rebel, a late-night legend, now bringing his comedy act back to Southwest Florida.
so please welcome the one and the only John Melendez.
Why, hello, Jen, it's been a long time.
It has.
You were on the show not long ago.
You're doing a comedy show in Naples,
and now your tour is bringing you back.
Yeah, I was out off the hook last time in Naples,
but now I'm at the place called the Laboratory Theater.
Okay.
Laboratory?
Mm-hmm.
Okay.
John's hair is ridiculous.
He looks like an evil ventriloquist dummy.
It's done up to be an old man.
People were saying he looks more like Locky's doll than he looks like Sattery Jodd at this point.
Mm-hmm.
But he's so old and ugly.
And when you have hair like that, it doesn't match and it looks awkward and out of place.
Like, it's time to just go gray and embrace it or shave your head.
Cut it short.
Yeah, do something because this is not working.
And his body language is like a little rascals, little boy.
Oh, shucks.
So that physicality with that, you know, look is just awful.
I sure we'd like to fuck you.
Oh, geez, ma'am.
You're right, like, he's hiding his boner.
Yeah, he's kind of like, in on himself.
His shoulders are kind of in,
and his posture and his body language is not a confident man.
I wonder why.
Now I'm at the place called the Laboratory Theater.
Okay.
Where every performance is an experiment.
The Laboratory Theater.
What a name.
But I'll be there.
Saturday night. Okay. So Jason has...
You can't pronounce any words, correct? It's six in the
morning, it's looking around and everyone, hey,
did you hear what I said there?
No excuse, he's got to come. You showed up.
Okay, this is wild right here. He actually
gilded these idiots into coming to his last end of
shell, and now he wants him to come see his act again.
I'll be there this Saturday night.
Okay. So Jason has no
excuse, he's got to come. You showed up last...
I did come to your show last, and it's hilarious. I mean, it was,
it was really... You had a crowd of all.
walks of late.
She is earning her paycheck today.
Wow.
We were still laughing in the car on the way home.
Notice she couldn't make eye contact with John.
And by the way, he were hilarious.
She's looking out to the side.
Whoops.
And all of us, we're dying.
Yeah.
Well, I try and talk about everything that I'm going through, whether it be trolled by
the internet, suing people who laugh at me, all the stuff I'm going through.
Failing.
Yeah, having no money in the bank.
Hitting on a 20-year-old and having a recorded and then playing it to the public and then hitting on her again and having a recorded again and then releasing it to the public again.
Tell us all this time.
We've all been there.
Honestly, that act would crush.
I know.
If he really did talk about what was going out of his life, he would sell out of theater.
I would love to see that.
I'd love to see that. I'd love to see all of it.
I'll never do it.
You know, having kids and then, you know, getting married and then this course.
Dude, these things happened decades ago.
I mean, kids are getting married.
Jesus.
There's also aging.
Oh, well, that's fine for all of us, right?
I'm having a hard time.
I mean, I'm sitting there buying slimming jeans and slimming shirts and...
That's not aging.
That's getting fast.
Slim gyms.
I'm having a hard time aging.
I have to buy things that make me look thinner.
Yeah, there's young people that have to do that, you assholes.
He's got a million of them.
This guy.
great.
You know, I get my hair
blended. Do you have
that picture? Did we put the picture
in there? What did you do to your hair?
Do you have that picture? We're looking at you right now,
retarded. You got to see
my hair do. Pull up the picture I sent
over. We're looking at it.
Here, you sent me this picture.
Okay, so when I
when I was in Manhattan, I have
really long hair. And I would
have a few grays. When I was in Manhattan
in the 80s,
the part he left out.
And the hairstyle said...
The Manhattan is also irrelevant
to the point he's making no point
to telling us that.
Well, no, because he's going to explain
that like this was a cool hip thing to do
because that's all that happens in Manhattan.
It's cool stuff.
Really long game.
And I would have a few grays
and the hairstyle said,
you know, we do this thing called glazing.
It's like a masculine dying,
you will.
And now that...
I asked my wife about this.
Yeah.
I go, is there anything?
masculine about glazing, the answer is
no. I think he's been fooled
yet again. They're like, no, no, no,
all the cool guys are doing this glazing thing.
Do you worry, it's tough. Yeah, right.
He was telling the story
back in the Calabasas
apartment. Like, he's been telling the story
for five, six years. He's trying
to justify what he does
with his hair. It's like, no, this is what all the cool people
do. Like, John, I know cool people.
They don't. He's also doing his stand-up
act on an interview show to promote
a gig. He doesn't have any
new material. He got a haircut
10 years ago, and he's been
coasting off that experience
ever since. He's mined that for all the
gold it has, and we're lucky to
have it. Has anything happened recently?
It's just nothing you want to talk about,
John. Well, he bought a boat.
To be writing all the new jokes
on. That's what he said. He's going to
write a one-man show on the boat, and we're getting
the same jokes. With his dog, I forgot about
that. Where's the dog, John? So I went
to, well, I won't mention it.
Yeah, don't do him. Oh, what?
So he talks about the hairstylist he went to or the barbershop, whatever he's talking about.
He's like, I won't mention the name. It's not around anymore.
What are you talking about?
So I went to, well, I won't mention the name.
Yeah, don't do it.
Oh, what?
Don't say the name, but you went to a place.
Yes, I went to a place.
Jason gave me wrong advice.
You can say it.
Let's just say I went to a place called Fabulous Air.
Okay, gotcha.
Which doesn't exist.
And it wasn't that fabulous because, you know.
But it did start with F-A.
You know the place is called Fantastic Hair,
and there's like a million of them,
and everyone knows what he was referencing
just by saying that.
Outback, and my hair was completely jet black.
You know, I was like blending into, what, an oil spill?
It was, like, like, I said, in your picture,
it was like, black, and then I'm like,
I keep referring to this picture.
And I'm like, please help me out here.
I'm doing TV with the beautiful Jen Stacy.
Help me out.
So they, so they finally got it.
What does she show up?
What is the beautiful anchor going to be there?
Kidding, kidding.
You're great.
Back to what looks like brown.
I don't know.
Or a little orangey.
I think, I think you're looking good.
You know, you never know what you're going to get.
I'm just too young to look old, Jen.
Much too young.
And I'm single.
I do all of this for the ladies.
He is, he is single ladies.
It's funny because you have such an incredible.
The way she said that.
He, he has.
is he is single he is perpetually single i could i can attest to this he is always hitting on me
he is certainly single he's the most single guy i've ever hung out with so all of that just to
draw more attention to how shitty his hair is yeah and how old he looks yeah good job john you
doubt it i love john and hd it's great it's fondly it's like his face is melting
incredible history you have met everybody you've offended many yes um how weren't you ever
afraid to ask some
of these celebrities and
notarable people, these questions?
Notarable? Yeah, sure. I know these people are.
And, you know, I don't
know who comes over these questions if John's
feeding them this. You know, the answer
is like, that was 35 years ago.
She used the word notarable, so I think he
is feeding her. Yeah, she's like,
so you said that you're notarable people
you spoke with?
No, in fact, it's funny.
On my fourth grade report
card, the teacher wrote. It's the fifth
great report card how do I know this better than John does at this point to my mother and father
on top of the report card and the president tends to ask outrageous and penetrating questions in
class and stutters when excited you made a living out of it yeah she was like a sousayer
how do you know but then that's i never had a problem to ask you john said as penetrating
questions and we'll stop penetrating women when he turns 50
It was very litigious.
That was my sixth grader, poor card.
You're bold, and I love that about you.
You know, you always say it like it is.
You were telling us last time, I'm just trying to kind of be quiet.
You know, you were on the Stern show and the Leno show, among many, many, many others, TV shows and movies.
And you were just kind of trying to relax.
She's like, we never heard the end of his credits, by the way.
Don't even get him started on that.
We know, we know.
A lot of things.
Okay, okay.
Moving on.
And you jumped right back into the fray this week.
I didn't mean to.
Who knew that men's journal is following Stuttering John on Twitter?
I just tweeted something out about Howard because Howard's, I guess, allegedly getting cancer.
And I just made a political thing.
Oh, by the way, I don't do any politics in my act.
I don't want to alienate half the audience.
Or in your political show.
I don't want to alienate the audience.
I just talk about having sex with women.
Well, that also kind of
turned some people off, John.
It's like Jay Leno, when we would write
for Jay, if we wrote, let's say,
half beating up on the Dems,
and the other half would have to be
beating up on their public. You don't want
to alienate, just
like half the country.
Me personally on stage, I don't do any
politics. You don't. There's enough to
laugh about with this.
It is refreshing to be able to do that
and not have to deal with the political.
Florida is getting to John. There was
Not a question of whether he's a political humorist or if he leans right or left.
He just goes,
and by the way,
I know I'm in a Republican state.
You guys are great.
Don't hit me.
You guys are all the best.
Let's go Trump.
What the fuck was that?
That was a weird reaction he just got right there.
Yeah, something happened to him somewhere.
Critical humor or whatever.
Just humor that's relatable to all of us.
Yeah, like checking out the Kardashians when they're underage sunbathing.
You know, things are relatable to all of us.
like kicking a woman out of bed and asking her to make you a lasagna.
That's a lot of fun.
Sorry, but I also think that you go to a comedy club to just escape.
Yeah, I agree.
Just laugh.
No, people actually escape the comedy club when you're there.
You don't want to start, like, you know, hating on, you know, oh, wow, how dare it.
It sounds like why he books a show.
I just want to get away from it all.
I don't want to work.
Why are you waiting up these exit signs?
They're going to know where to go.
I need those turned off immediately.
Sometimes they can ask him to leave.
I want it darker than Opie's show.
He beat up my president.
Right, right, right.
He's still talking about this?
From all of that.
Is it weird for you now to take your act?
You wrote for the Tonight Show for years and years
to take that type of comedy and put it on the stage now,
and obviously you were with Howard,
which you guys were hilarious together.
I also wrote for Howard, so you have like this, you know.
Those are two.
Two different people, yeah.
Yeah, you wrote Shulie line three.
It's like going from Vivid Video to Disney.
Yeah.
Vivid video?
Yeah.
She doesn't know what that is.
No.
I do.
It's been a while, though.
Are they still?
Is that a modern reference?
That's not a, yeah, okay.
But with me, I'm like, it's all about just all the things that I experience,
all my observations, and, you know, all about my life and all about stuttering.
and like everything like that.
And that was a hard thing to somewhat overcome.
I'm sure.
I mean, that took me a long, long time.
Well, not only did you overcome it,
but you became the announcer on the biggest show in the country.
And you're acting like he's not having a logical thought process
as he's doing whatever that fuck he's doing to promote his comedy show.
It's almost like you're actually like he's all over the place.
A little bit.
It was like five things in a row and he said nothing.
Yes.
They were just like...
He's like nervous to be on...
He was cracking, reading, and thrown away.
He's nervous to be on TV.
And he looks it and he seems it.
And what do you say?
Somewhat overcome?
I thought he was the headliner at the stuttering convention.
I thought he pulls people aside and like that.
They are cured somewhat overcome.
He is regressing in every way.
Yeah.
He's shrinking and melting and wasting away and looks and sounds worse than he ever has.
This is the only good thing that happened to Howard Stern that day.
Catch on this.
incredible.
Yes. So, yeah, I mean, that was
amazing. I'm sure.
Yeah, I couldn't wait, you know.
I can't believe that the
financial hide is stutterer, but hey.
Well, you had a lot of fun
there. You've met all kinds of people.
Who did you, who have you made
the angriest? What was the worst encounter?
I mean, aren't you afraid you're going to get hit or something?
Well, I think Shulian Carroll are pretty upset
with me right now.
Something?
Well, I have been hit.
Oh.
I mean, got beat up by Sharon Stone's bodyguard.
I got strangled by Lou Reed.
I got punched in the nose by Raquel Welsh.
Oh. Yeah.
As one does.
You know.
These things happen.
Yeah.
But I...
Could you imagine the game of not it they were playing when they had a...
When they realized they had to interview John again?
I was like, fuck.
Those references were Raquel Welch.
I know.
Lou Reed.
What was the other one?
Like, there's no one.
Yeah, Sharon Stone's bodyguards.
Yeah.
I mean, come on, John, just anyone knew.
Just as a reference, just anyone.
Nothing.
Nothing.
It was a little nerve-wracking at times because I knew the celebrity was going to get mad.
Like when I asked Ted Williams, you ever accidentally passed wind in the catcher's face?
This poor woman, she has to act like passing wind.
The catcher's face is a hilarious question.
Oh, he got like really angry
And like I asked Tommy Lassota
Since he got fat again
Is he gonna give the money back to Slim Fast?
Oh my gosh
But did Fred write that one or Jackie
Some people had a great sense of you
I asked the late great Ed Asner
I said Ed, do you think
You know do you think abortion should be legal
And he looked at me
And said yes
In fact I'm looking at you
I think we have some missed opportunity
Oh my gosh
Wow
He came right back at you
Oh wow
We're doing a morning network show
We're taking abortion jokes
Ha ha! Okay, great
Good stuff John
You're really going to read the room here
Thanks for that
She didn't want to offend the gals at fabulous hair
But he's going to go right to abortion jokes
You have anything about incest
You want to bring up the fuck man
Rivers had the best response
And where I said John do you think
ugly people should be allowed to have children
and she said no and I told you
mother that
so sometimes like
amazing some of the celebrities enjoyed
having me do this because it made it interesting
refreshing versus a normal red carpet
BS that they deal with it which is all the
same question boring but
how can we check you out we're running out of time
but I know that you're playing this Saturday in Fort Myers
they're saying you've got to go go to my website
Stutteringjohn Melendez dot net
he's actually directing people to that website
We were looking at that at the bonus show yesterday.
Oof.
It's not a good website.
Does he even realize that he just said to her?
You know, like all those stupid, boring Hollywood questions that you normally get.
And she's like, okay, well, let's see what you have coming up next on the docket.
Starring John, what do you got?
That's her, man.
Right.
Or on Twitter at Stuttering John M.
Because somebody took Stuttering John, of course.
And that's it.
But, I mean, yeah, come down to the laboratory theater.
Some of the proceeds, I believe, go.
to charity.
Nope.
Or you can write me a check and I'll Venmo.
That's insane.
They might go to chariot.
Maybe it's a good thing if you come.
I don't know.
Wow.
This guy knows how to promote, doesn't he?
I just keep thinking this is called Things to Do
and every contact or connection he has with anyone
turns into therapy and the walkdown memory lane and the glory days.
And begging everyone in the studio to go to the show.
Yeah.
You got to go, Rick.
You got to come.
Well, John, we're almost out of time, so do you want to just say while you're here?
Yeah, I know. Did you see that?
Yeah.
She's like, okay, we've been naming celebrities that no one's ever heard of for a while now.
Can we talk about your comedy show?
I don't have acting chops, so let's go.
And I'm looking forward to it, and I hope everybody comes.
I think they'll have a good time.
You definitely will.
His show is hysterical, and I know it's different depending on the audience, and so it should be a good one.
We'll put a link to how you can get these tickets as well as how you can check out, John.
on our website as well as our Gulf Coast News app.
Okay, I'll check on the Golf Coast News app
for how to get tickets to John's show.
That'll be great.
You guys familiar with Stephanie Miller?
Oh, yeah.
All right, this is great.
I'm really excited about this.
I checked out the fifth episode of John being on Stephanie Miller's show,
the fourth time as an employee.
And he brings on, so he's booking the guests.
And this is Stephanie Miller's Happy Hour show.
and so they bring on Kate Quigley
This is 2015 still
This is a 33 year old
Kate Quigley
Very attractive blonde
And John will be hitting on her
As well Stephanie
It's very uncomfortable
This episode
And it starts off immediately with this
Wow, you're blinding
So are you
Oh, stop it
I love that you're like
You look like you haven't eaten in so long
I'm like you look better than
You look amazing
Wait show your little plate
She has a little anorexic snack plate
Seriously, she got three fucking peanuts
It's like four nuts and a piece of jeans
I was like, would you like something?
I know you haven't eaten since the 80s, but here
Try some of it.
Actually, I did.
I had Adderall for lunch,
Stop it.
Couldn't help himself.
Do you want a couple of more nuts, Kate?
That's so embarrassing.
Well, then we find out that
John got a little
feely with the guest when she arrived.
Yeah, well, listen, Aaron's coming.
Sean's moving over there and then you're going to have to deal
with John sitting next to you.
I'm already afraid.
He already touched my boob once since I arrived, John.
I touched your boo?
How?
When you hugged me.
Don't pretend you don't know.
Like girls aren't fucking hip to that, John.
Really?
Oh, was that an accident?
My hand accidentally stroked your nipple, my bad.
I did not touch with my hand.
You get the fuck out of you.
You did.
Get out of here.
But I don't mind.
It's fine.
What do you think I was?
I'm used to it.
I work around male comics all the time.
You know you touch nip.
You know you went for nip.
It's fine.
You went for nipple.
Admit you went for nipple.
I swear on my life,
I have no recollection or what I would ever do that.
I'm not a fucking...
No, he's not.
We've sat next to each other many times.
Let me kick you out while I talk to Kate.
Do you hear the truth come out there with Kate?
She's like, no, no, no, I work with guys all the time.
I'm in comedy.
I know.
You guys want to cop a feel?
I get it.
And John's so defensive there.
I swear to God, I don't have any recollection of that.
It happened 17 minutes ago.
What do you mean?
Either you did it or you didn't.
Don't tell me you don't remember whether you did it or you didn't.
He said he specifically knew that it wasn't his hand.
So he corrected her
And then said he has no memory of it
So he's removed from the board right there
They bring it another guy to work at the board
He's gone
And he gets sat next to
The guest
Kate's thrilled about this
And he continues to deny
Even though Stephanie's accusing him
Of groping their guest
Look at how you run the board
Your hands are like fucking oven mitts
Like she's not going to notice that
I swear like you're like fucking saucequatch
Kate
It was an accident.
I swear on my life, I did not.
He doesn't even know.
I don't, I know you don't.
It's okay.
Look at how uncomfortable he's getting.
He really is such a nice guy.
He's such a nice guy for real, though, that he's like so over concerned that I might think he
like purposely grabbed my tent.
He might have purposely grabbed a gorgeous woman's tit.
He would never ever do that, Kate.
Never.
Obviously.
He's being very sarcastic here.
No, no, he's a great guy.
He definitely would not do something like that.
He's not horny and desperate and hard up and hitting on me all the time, which we're going
to find out.
All of those things are true, of course, because lesbian talk comes up.
This is John's favorite thing.
This is where he shines.
This is John from the Howard Stern show.
You scissor it.
Please call me Mrs. Robinson.
Well, have you ever been with a girl?
She was.
Not really.
Like, I've made out.
Well, because I've made out with girl.
Like, every girl has made out with a girl at some point for like a free drink.
Right?
What did I give you?
I already gave you a patron.
She gave me patron.
No, you'll get yours.
Don't you worry.
When this is gone.
This is John's favorite thing.
You ever get what's a girl?
Asked every female guest so far on the show, that question.
And then they'll say like, yeah, I made out with a girl in college or for a drink or something.
And John gets so exciting.
Oh, ha ha ha ha ha.
Do you hear that, Stephanie?
Whoa.
It's like being on Howard Stern in 1993 all over again.
Why is he the only one laughing all the time when nothing's funny?
It's just this soundtrack.
It kills me.
Because he is uncomfortable.
hitting on this girl's way out of his league and trying to pretend that things are going swimmingly.
We're having a bunch of fun today, aren't we, Kate?
Yeah.
Yeah.
He can't even pretend to, like, validate what she said for a second.
He's like, I have no memory.
It wasn't my hand, so it didn't happen.
So at what point are you like, oh, man, I'm sorry.
Didn't mean it.
Anything.
Right.
Your intention means nothing.
She's the one who got groped.
Say something, whether you remember it or not.
Why is her entire reality not?
valid for you. It's not valid and he never
does that. It's never possibly happened
so stop talking about it. Right.
This is interesting. You see the
kind of respect John has for women here?
So there's a question asked
of the guest, Kate, and John
answers for her.
My point is, whether it's, you know,
Chelsea Handler, Amy Schumer, people like you,
like I love that. I think it's a new form
of feminism to go, you know, fuck you.
I'm going to take control of my own body
and my sexuality. That's exactly
what happened. But you got a lot
She's gotten a lot of flag
From female comedians
No more from men
Some from female
I know there's one female that gave you a flag
Oh but really?
Did I tell you or you heard it?
No you told me
Oh let's talk shit
So John has conversations with these people
Before the show
And he can't wait to spill the beans on things
That they don't necessarily want to talk about
No don't you have a problem with that one
A-lister
Remember we were talking about the thing?
She's like oh
Do you want to talk about that?
I don't want to talk about that.
The comic that was on last time.
Weren't you banging that barter?
Oh, dude, that's coming up.
Oh, great.
That's coming up.
He loves to talk about who the guests have fucked and how many people they're
fucking.
And the guests aren't necessarily cool with that.
You know, they're kind of trying to live their lives and do their thing.
So at this point, Kate's talking about how she wears a bikini places where she shouldn't
wear a bikini for the joke of it.
She's like, yeah, I inappropriately wear bikini's places.
and John can't help himself, of course.
One night I was at the improv, I was talking to my girlfriends.
I was like, fuck it.
I should start wearing a bikini to everywhere.
Like make fun of myself.
Just wear a bikini so often.
Good for you.
That people are like, why is Kate never in quotes?
And that's what I started doing.
I started fucking wearing, I would just show up at podcasts like this just in a bikini for
no reason.
People are like, why?
Wait a minute.
Exactly.
Why is she fucking quote now, John?
I asked her to look cute.
Producer fail.
Oh, do I text you?
He said cute.
You said look cute.
Yeah.
I put on makeup.
Oh, like there's any fucking things she could do to not look cute.
Jesus.
That's sweet.
Well.
What a producer, John is.
Hey, can you be cute on the show?
Yes, I'll do my makeup, John.
Thanks.
No problem.
And he's still talking off Mike.
He can't talk on the mic.
We were pointing this out yesterday on the bonus show.
It's so frustrating.
Yes, when he was doing his show in 2018,
and he's talking about how he's a better broadcaster than Jackie Martling.
He goes, yeah, we'll do this reunion show for the Howard Stern show,
but I got to be the host because I'm a better broadcaster
than Jackie, and he's never on microphone.
You can't hear him ever.
He doesn't know how microphones work.
He's been on the radio all this time.
He still hasn't figured that out.
Yeah, but Jackie's always laughing at his own jokes,
and you can't have that.
Yeah, I know John's never done that.
But 70s just as bad as John in this one.
Both of them, I felt so bad for Kate Quigley.
She's just getting hit on non-stop by ugly people.
Right.
And she's just like, yeah, so I'll like wear a bikini when I go on a podcast.
And both of them were just like, whoa, why did you wear a bikini to this podcast?
Like, all right, calm down, everyone.
Put your fucking dicks and pussies away.
Jesus Christ.
Oh, you said dicks and pussies?
I shouldn't have said that.
My bad.
Now we're acting this out.
How it could have gone in a different universe.
But it's so funny you pointed that out, Chris.
I'm glad you picked up on that.
Because Stephanie's also picking up on the fact that no one could hear what John is saying.
Let's just get it out of the way.
So John Melinda's hit on you in a comedy club.
What happened is Kate.
Okay, in your mic.
There you go.
Well, I have a loud voice.
I can handle it.
Okay.
He's such an idiot.
He's talking back here.
Well, what happened was Stephanie, the host, has to say, talking to the microphone.
How many times somebody pointed to Andy and gone, talking to the microphone?
And he goes, oh, shit, I should talk to the microphone.
He hasn't done that in a long time.
It is defense.
But John's defense is like, no, I talk loud.
No, we're telling you we can't hear you.
And then the second thing is, and the guy who works at the board will figure it out.
That's not his job to fucking pull the knobs back and forth.
the whole fucking time.
You've got to figure out how do you have some mic control?
This guy was in a band.
You know when you do vocals?
He was the lead singer of a band.
You know when you do vocals in the studio?
The engineer isn't like riding it up and down as you're recording it.
You got to figure out that when you're belting it out, you go back here.
And then when you whisper, you get up here.
And John goes, nope, I'll just do this and you figure it out.
This goes deeper because this fucking asshole has been doing this deflection thing.
his whole life. Every time he gets directly called out for something, very crystal clear,
he's got at least two things in the chamber to back it up. Why he's not doing it? He pretends that
he's ready to mock people. I look someone from their toes up to their head and I have five jokes
for him. No, what he has is five excuses. Nice toes. For why he's sucking. This was also,
you know, he, we know he hits on her. We know he does this to all of the talent he's trying to book.
it's his sex pest lifestyle
when she's on the show
it's an opportunity
maybe to turn that into a bit
I'm sure that's what she's thinking
they brought it up she's like now I'll get
okay I see what you're doing John here I go
and he physically pushes her aside
and says no no honey I got this one
I'm going to tell your other story too
when he can't get them to shut up and he starts
touching them to get them to stop
that's what it's like to be in a house with him
and that touching must grow and grow and grow into
you're just like, I'm done. I'm done.
It's, you can tell people are uncomfortable with it, and he never picks up on the hint.
And the question that Stephanie just asked was, okay, so you hit on, tell the story about how you hit on Kate.
So it turns out she was a guest on what was his Vodcast back then.
He was doing a video podcast, and he called a Vodcast.
And this is a, uh, a crazy story right here.
So, uh, I asked her out on my Vodcast and she said yes.
and we were going to go out of...
Bullshit. By the way,
call bullshit. You didn't say yes?
We called bullshit. You didn't say yes.
Can I just say that John did ask me out
and I said yes on the podcast.
However, A, I was on
a national viewed, you know, show.
B, you don't seem like a bitch.
I did. There was a lot of pressure like
because I said, no, I don't date comics.
Like I said a few times. Even if you bang two comics, by the way.
Yes, that's true.
I know, but not you.
I did bang two comics.
But the thing is, I learned from,
that experience never to fuck a comic that's what I learned what happened or you I dated two
comics I didn't just bang him I dated two comics and what I learned is in any field if you date a
coworker and it doesn't end well it sucks because you see that person all the time this is
incredible John goes I asked you out and you said yes and she goes no that's not what happened
I said no multiple times it sounds like I don't think comics nah you know I'm busy I'm seeing
someone and he wore her down
and eventually she's like yeah we'll go out sometime
that's fine on the show
and then John uses this
thing to guilt her you know
it's so gross to call out
a woman's excuse for not wanting to go out
with you but that's not true
you've fucked other comics
okay I just don't want to fuck you that
what it's just you want yeah I'm not into you
what do you like that's insane you can't talk
someone into it yes you can't argue
your way into their pants it doesn't work
that way what does he think she's going to
like, oh, you're right, I did.
I am attracted to you.
Now, you're right.
It's all there.
She said no.
It's insane.
And John, saying that out loud, shows you how stupid he is.
And then he brings up the fact that she slept with comics, but I'm sure she didn't
want to talk about.
I'm sure she's uncomfortable with this whole thing.
And I know it's the Stephanie Miller show, but again, she's on a show.
So it's the same fucking thing.
And so John now has to make an excuse for why he didn't get to go out with the
girl.
Uh-oh.
So he's going to explain what happened.
So I got,
I got cock blocked by the two
other comics.
Correct.
Yeah.
Well,
there you go.
Because then,
because then when we,
I asked her out,
we're going to go out.
Right.
And she goes,
you know what?
Maybe I'm,
I'm rethinking this.
Well,
actually,
let me just say,
to be clear.
I said,
the best voice you've ever made.
But,
so now he's trying
to make an excuse,
like, well,
it was the other comics
who banged her.
That's, they're the reason
why I'm not getting in her pants.
Right.
Sure.
Whatever you need to hear, man.
Whatever reason is going to make you feel better about yourself.
Yeah, you feel more handsome now.
Sure.
Fine, man.
Yeah, you were cock blocked.
It can't be a reflection on him.
He cannot have been rejected on air.
And he thinks everyone heard him say that.
For good reason.
Now, this is crazy.
John keeps going back to the fact that Stephanie, before she came out as a lesbian,
had sex with men.
And John cannot stop talking about that.
But here's the thing, Steph.
How I assume is that you used to bang guys.
Yeah, this is a long many things.
All right.
So you enjoyed it then?
Well, it was like fucking comics for her.
She realized it was a bad idea.
What?
Yeah.
This is the, so you're saying there's a chance.
A moment.
You're like, yeah, but you had a dick in your mouth one time.
I know it was 34 years ago, but come on.
And this proves that that line of thinking that John has proves that story talks about
with the lesbian at the bar who he brought home.
And she was just like, you know what?
I miss penis.
And then he brought her home to like have sex.
They're like, that's a completely made-up story.
That's a John fantasy thing where, like, lesbians are like, yeah, you know what?
I did used to have sex with guys, and I can't wait to be with a guy right now.
Let's go.
This is a man who's two of his kids are LGBTQ.
It's fucking crazy.
Biggest brags about that was that he was ruining a long-time marriage.
Yeah, that she had a relationship and the wife showed out.
Oh, okay.
So, Kate brings up the fact that she is hosting.
The Adult Video News Award, the AVNs.
And, of course, John's very excited about this.
Vivid, vivid, vivid video nominated.
It's so funny because, like, I just, I just, I'm hosting the Avian Awards this year,
which is like the Oscars of porn, right?
I really is.
Excuse me, spit tick.
Yeah, it really is.
I'm sorry.
And the press release just came out yesterday.
And I've known for a while, but so, like, whatever, I posted on my social media.
Like, here's the press release.
I mentioned my mom in the Porn Awards press release.
Shout out to Mom, whatever.
And all these people were texting me
Like even you were like
Congratulations
Look at this
So the press release comes out
She's hosting the AVNs
And so John's like
Oh ho that's hot
So he's texting Kate like
Hey congratulations
I'm doing that
Porn stuff right
And so she explains
She's like yeah yeah
A bunch of guys fucking reached out to me
Instead of hitting on me
Watch John's faces
He realized he wasn't the only one
Congratulations on your success
You've made it
And I'm like
What the fuck are you talking
Like literally
I'm like I'm sitting in my apartment
getting these text messages like eating subway
that I bought with my unemployment card
I'm like this is if this is making it
I'm going to kill myself
How funny is that? John's like I thought I was the only one
hitting on you when I found that out
I think a bunch of guys did that
And he's like oh
I guess I'm just a simp then
Yep
No shit and also John
There's a lot of people that
Realize when they're only hearing from you
When they're in the news
Yeah you know they're not stupid
whether it's sex-related or not.
You're like, oh, you're popular today.
Let me reach out.
Brilliant.
Brilliant move.
All right, so John has a joke that bombs for multiple reasons.
I'll just let it play out.
It was crazy.
I was married for 10 years from 19 to 30 almost, and the guy isn't super concerned.
19, you got my, you are from Cleveland.
I know.
Can't.
Totally.
Canton.
Pay attention.
Canton.
Totally.
No, the guy wasn't like.
Married at 19.
Wow.
You really are.
Cleveland. What does that mean? So you got the city wrong. That's a bad start. It doesn't mean
anything. Like, guys like John don't understand, like Cleveland's a major metropolitan of this country.
People don't get married at 19 in Cleveland. In New York, it's 38. What's he talking about?
But John is very, very horny as she talks about how when she got married, she was a virgin.
no but here's the other thing too is when we got together like we were basically both virgins and so like I'd never had like I didn't know what like really hot sex was like I was like this seems like what I guess is because everybody talks about how when you're married sex is shitty so I never really I was like I was like that's the way it's like to be yeah yeah so we were just best friends we were like roommates you want to know what it is no John I don't I really don't I want you to stop and put the beer down
That was real.
Kate's like, yeah, please stop hitting on me and talking about having sex with me.
It's not going to happen.
Stop drinking.
And then she's like, I'm a guess.
Like, ah, I'm just kidding.
You know, you could tell if she felt that like, oh, I got to let him off the hook.
Or this is going to get awkward and weird.
And John doesn't pick up on those cues at all, of course.
So John tells Stephanie that he saw Kate on Tinder.
That's so weird.
She came up on my Tinder stuff.
So wait, you prank.
guys on tinder what's that about oh yeah well i'm on a lot of dating websites because i have a show
about dating as well so i don't know what the point of that was she came out my tinder
like outing her or something like that like she's horny man she's out there she's on dating sites
and immediately she goes yeah yeah i do a show about dating and so that's why i'm on all the dating
sites it's like yeah john that doesn't look good for you also i don't know how tinder works
but I imagine you put in specific age ranges and things,
what you're looking for.
So isn't that show that John's kind of a creep?
If he's 50 and she's at her early 30s and she's showing up on his Tinder?
I don't know.
Is that how that were?
Like wouldn't you have to put in like an age range that you're interested in?
Yeah, I don't know.
But I saw her kind of.
Good answer.
I was testing you, Adam.
We both don't know.
I just know that on Grindr usually
Wait
Fuck
He got a little
He slipped up he did it
He got a little dig on her
So she got a little dig on him
Or she didn't support him there
So he had to just
She's on Tinder
Yeah
He's just trying to take her down
And it's all he's doing
It's great because it backfires
Because now we're going to find out
What she's actually doing on Tinder
And John does not like this
But so I go on Tinder
And I just started to realize
On Tinder the guys are so thirsty on there
Like the guys like
They're just so
desperate to have sex with you
that they will put up with like
any level of craziness in order to do it
so for fun I was like I'm just gonna go
on Tinder and I'm gonna act a bat
shit crazy on purpose
but then every few
sentences I'm gonna bait them with like but I can't
wait to fuck you though right and then
then we'll be like
yeah and yeah I do brain right
I try to get them to block me I mean I
and I talk about this on stage but like I
literally have said everything from like
hey I just got out of jail because I
stabbed a guy to like
I like to fuck with rattlesnakes
in the bed I asked a guy if I could put leeches
on his balls like I ask guys
and these guys are like
guys are dumb yeah
you know one of the guys who's on Tinder
is dumb as stuttering John
he's sitting there right next to you
and I love that that completely backfired on him
oh his body language she's on Tinder you know
yeah you know what I do on Tinder I fuck
with guys it becomes material for my show and my act
Oh, shit.
That's not what I was hoping.
I've heard about the lieges thing.
I agree to that, actually.
You can watch him deflating in real time.
It goes from that smug smile to she might be talking about me.
Yep.
Thirsty losers on Tinder is what she's talking about.
It's also a pattern he has where he can listen to pretty much the first couple words of what she says.
He has a thought and then he just stays there and waits.
And that's why every time he comes back with something, no one's interested and it all feels weird.
because it was like a long time ago
it's why you can't have a conversation with him
he's just waiting to say that thing he thought of
that's now irrelevant we've all moved on
from that so kate
starts talking about what she likes for foreplay
and john this is not a joke
john says this very seriously
by the way
i should touch every part of your body with his mouth
before his dick is in you that's what i think
every part of your body yeah and that's what i always do
um but uh kate
now you have
what are you doing your show?
You have left-sided tits or something?
Do you have left-sided tits?
Adam, I can't believe what's going out of the 70-biller show.
How did the fact that we not know about this?
How did the damn over us not know about this until now?
This is insane.
This is a side of John that we would have hated way more than the other sides of John
that we've seen all these years.
This is crazy.
She's like, yeah, I think that they, you know, whenever with the foreplay and John's like,
yeah, no, I do that too.
That's what I do.
Okay.
well let's stop the show now and have sex
it's just not how that works
and then he has to immediately humiliate her
yeah don't you have lopsided breasts
yeah john
thanks that's all he was doing trying to humiliate her
what um her act it would embarrass her
so i'll just bring it up and buy myself some time
this is so unique because we're used to having john
with a boss that you know has already written him off
we're getting to see this glorious moment in time
where she's still trying to trust him
because she genuinely wants to do edgy comedy
and has been sold that this guy is that.
Right.
So when I think for a while, she's like,
maybe I'm just too prude
or maybe I don't get the appeal of John.
So she's trying so hard.
Watching this crumble is just, I can't look away.
It's fascinating.
Yeah.
And so John asking a very creepy question to Kate
about hair on a man's body.
This little clip package I have right here,
is going to blow you away
I got to ask you a question about guys
I'm sorry stuff
what's going on with his microphone
I just sit on your goddamn microphone
because I have a loud voice and I always
what's your question here? Stop it
when
do you like a guy completely manscaped
or you like some
some hair down some fur
I mean I'm fine with none
but if there's a little you are fine
because if there's a little that's okay
but like long
gross
you got a razor stuff
yes I do
predictable joke
gross question
predictable joke
and then John starts
talking about his balls
and I think he might actually
have a problem
this is weird
it's like balls
like let's look at Picasso's balls
try scraping them
it's like fucking
dragging a rake through a minefield man
you fucking
if you try and scratch your balls
one right one
wrong moving
oh that's painful
what you're standing there
God, I seriously, I have never had a treatise in
ball scrap. No, if you scratch your balls, you might hit
that very sensitive nerve. Tread lightly.
Yeah, you have to tread lightly. Yeah, it's like dragging a right through a
mind field. Why do you have to scratch your balls? Because the
itch. There's hair growing on a regular basis.
It's another reason to lay there. Because there's hair growing all the time out of those things. Shave
that shit. Shave that shit. It's going to itch even more. You don't shave your balls.
No. You got to shave your balls. I don't even want to scratch them. You got to shave them.
Or wash them.
Shave your balls.
Gross.
What is John talking about?
Why is he talking about it?
Why is he talking about it?
But scratching your balls is one of the greatest things about being a guy.
And he's going, man, it's a really tough go down there.
He's like, no, it's fantastic.
It's also quite easy.
Yeah, it's so easy.
And guys get caught doing it all the time because we can't wait to scratch our balls.
And John's going, oh, no, it's really rough.
Anything can happen.
This is how lazy he is.
He sounds like a pre-pubescent boy who heard the older kids talking
and is trying to, like, relate to what they said,
but that doesn't know what it all means.
There's a Cartman buying pubs off of Scott Tederman.
Oh, shit, I made it South Park Reppence.
Fuck.
No, but I was thinking the same thing.
I won't do it again.
Damn it.
Also, don't you think she's like, hey, John,
the next time you invite me on to a show,
can you not hijack my set by talking about your balls?
Or be here?
Yeah.
So John doesn't think the guys shave their balls.
this becomes very clear.
Your balls are part of the deal, man.
Really?
Yes.
You got to shave your balls?
Of course.
Sean, do you shave your balls?
You know what?
No, no, no, I'm just curious.
No, I do not.
Between this discussion and how hot you are,
I just got like a thousand percent gayer.
Because I almost just turned gay from that conversation.
Well, I'm like, you know, let's work on that later because.
No, no, guys don't shave their balls.
Lots do.
Who does?
Plenty do.
Yeah, some do.
I never heard of it.
What the fuck?
I never heard of shaving your balls.
John's never heard of shaving your balls.
And he's turning to this woman, this attractive blonde woman who has a show about, or a whole show about dating, who is hosting the Avian Awards.
And he's like, guys don't shave their balls.
She's like, yeah.
Actually, they do.
You should probably get out of that.
Is this the craziest?
I never knew.
It's got to be a disaster.
I mean, I don't want to think about it, but what is going on with John?
I'm trying to process that they were making fun of his, making fun of, they were exposing his disgusting feet and saying that, John, you smell so bad, we can't be in a room with you.
I know people that have worked on films where you're like in a tank and they're like, the guy wouldn't shower.
I know he's like method or whatever, but you got to shower.
We had to talk to him.
They were telling John this on the Stephanie Miller show within these couple weeks.
the what was the sitcom wings yeah wings told him this he did a tv gig and they said we're
paying for you to get your feet cleaned because wardrobe can't be in the same room with you
and he hasn't changed since then he didn't even pick that up from this conversation he's not
going to go oh shit you shave your balls well thanks for telling me that like why does it have to
be uh uh it can't be a criticism about him it can't be and watching the the
but whale twist these things is insane.
John doesn't realize he has blind spots.
This is a serious blind spot right now.
It's like,
it's other people's weaknesses.
Right.
They're too sensitive.
So this gets crazy.
This is where I think it might be a medical condition
because I've never heard of this.
I mean, at the risk of coming off like a whore,
if you want my mouth on it,
you need to shave that.
I don't want the mouth on my balls.
You don't?
Really?
No, I'd rather, no, my people.
Oh, come on.
Like, you don't want a little finger up your...
Most guys, like...
I don't want the finger up, but I don't want to bring a mask,
but I don't want to bring in the mouth
and what the fuck
I want you sucking my balls for?
Yeah, most guys
like you need you
to give their balls
a little attention to.
Well, something, right?
I don't know what guys
you're dating.
Normal guys who like
their balls sucked.
I saw Adam's face
just going,
what is he talking about?
He must have a medical condition
with his balls.
He can't scratch them.
He doesn't want a girl's mouth on them.
What is happening right now?
He also hasn't watched an adult film
or had a conversation
with anybody about this stuff
or been married for years
and years.
Like, he thinks
This is normal?
Chris is dumbfounded right now.
I've never seen your jaw go lower.
You're like,
what?
Yeah, he never had a chance,
but he's going out of his way to not get anything here.
Also,
it goes back to me saying a jillion times
that he's incapable of being embarrassed.
Yeah, right.
All of this would have embarrassed us.
He should have abandoned this conversation immediately.
Yeah, right.
He can't do it.
Stephanie doesn't want to talk about balls.
Kate doesn't want to talk about his balls.
No one wants to talk about it.
to him right let it go i just have two more clips on here okay and of course the next question is
going to be kate how many guys are you fucking which i'm sure this female comic totally wants to
give that information out for everyone to know i've hooked up with like 11 people in my life
my number's really sad bullshit i swear you've only had sex with 11 guys 11 oh really stop going
her hoary she is a strong powerful beautiful woman it's just because i was married for 10 years so i wasn't getting
much so i really just started how many this year um not well actually not many this year but aren't you
now i i know we're not yeah i know look at that look she just threw to john and look at his
response so they've obviously had private conversations she doesn't want on the air at the stephan
miller show and he's like how many of you fucked this year she's like it's not that many john
leave it alone like that look right there is just like oh leave it alone this is not something
I need put out there on the airwaves and John's like yeah I know I know I know what an
asshole yeah this is my thumbnail right here this this image he's doing how it's turn he thinks
he's pushing and getting the dirt when he's really just being abusive you can't tell John
anything you want to be a secret I think people learn that the hard way now this is episode
four with him as a
employee. He still thinks it's about him.
Yes. He's making all of it about him. Of course, I pull
clips that way too. But I make it
about it, but Stephanie was being a creep on this episode too. So the last clip I have
on here, John shoots
his shot again. We just heard. She was on his show. He asked her out. She said no
multiple times. Then she said yes. And then after the show was done, she's like, no, but
seriously, we're not going out. And John has to try it one more time.
It sucks because I hate playing games. I don't want to play games.
But you got to a little bit.
Yeah.
You mean like telling me you're going to date me and fucking go.
John, can't let go of this.
His baby is gone with you.
I still was like, let's go out as friends.
He was like, that's not my thing.
It's not my thing, baby.
Friends, girl.
Oh, man.
Wow.
Yeah.
Can't read the room.
Can't take a hint.
Not even a hint.
I've been told guys are very bad at reading between the lines.
She's just spelling it out for him.
I'm not interested at you.
Let's never talk about this again.
If I may, really quick, man.
Please.
On Dablers Anonymous, Joe Schmoe, New York posted his interview with Noel Castler after his tenure at Stephanie Miller.
Yeah.
And I pulled a couple of ISOs real quick.
Yeah, yeah, great.
Check this out.
But she was very, very, she's difficult.
And there's a long line of people.
It's fine.
You know, she's got her insecurity.
She got, she has her narcissism.
she's got her personality disorders.
So talking about Stephanie Miller.
I play this on point, dabble point.
Oh, okay.
No, this is great.
I meant to put this in this segment.
And those are terms that he obviously heard either in therapy or...
Told to him.
Yes.
Yes.
This is what people were telling him.
Exactly.
Exactly.
And that stood out like a sore thumb and then follows it up with this.
Look, Stephanie was a difficult person to work with.
I did happen to make out with her quite a few times, though.
Very important to bring that up, right?
I did happen to make out with her quite a few times, though.
Okay, let's get Stephanie on the show.
If somebody books Stephanie on the show, we need to talk to Stephanie Miller.
This is insane that John is claiming he made out with this lesbian who's obviously so turned off by this asshole.
Yeah.
And if all the things he was saying about her were true, then was she abusing him?
Was he like, that was his boss?
Was she forcing herself on him?
this pushy, aggressive, mean woman, but we made out a lot.
Like, that's supposed to be a positive?
It doesn't make sense.
None of it makes sense.

I want to bring in our review girls
Annie is here
What's up Annie?
Oh hello, good to see everyone
Oh hello
And Megan is here as well
Hello
Great to see you Megan
Great to see you too
I'm excited about your game
But first we got to play Cardiff's game
two minutes with Tom
I don't know how long this game can go on for
how many things does Tom ever say
you know what I mean it's crazy
that we still have new stuff
new stuff to talk about with
Tom Myers if you're not familiar with this game
you'll figure it out very quickly
as Cardiff explains it
it's time for everyone's favorite
new new game show
two minutes with Tom
what do you say ladies and gentlemen
are you ready to
Find the bomb.
Playing two minutes with two.
Justin Mal.
Now join the studio.
I've got a local comedian here.
Tom Myers.
Good morning, Tom.
Hey, Justin.
Morning.
Thanks for having me.
Absolutely.
Thanks for having me.
Absolutely.
Thanks so much for coming on.
I love the obligatory selfie that you took with me before I came on.
Yeah.
Well, I don't like selfies.
I don't like taking selfies to me.
The idea of taking a selfie is basically saying, like,
I've tried to find somebody, anybody, another living organism to take my picture for me,
and I failed quite miserably.
So here's an entire Facebook album of me looking like a loser.
I don't take selfies.
I don't like selfies.
I don't like taking selfies.
There's something wrong with people who take selfies, all right?
Taking selfies is basically a way of saying I tried to find somebody, anybody, another living
organism to take my picture for me, and I failed quite miserably.
So here's an entire Facebook album of me looking like a fucking loser.
Can I just pause it real quick and just point out,
brilliant, Cardiff.
Thank you for pointing out the first thing out of his mouth is from his act.
And it doesn't even make sense, taking a selfie with someone.
So he shoehorned that in just to use the joke from his act that, by the way,
didn't get any laughs.
Oh, no, there's four.
I don't take selfies on my only take with guests here.
So I'm not making duck lips at home.
And so I appreciate something by.
Your local comedian, is it tough to be community?
People are like, hey, make me laugh.
Well, you know, I'm on the road constantly and traveling,
and so I always feel like I'm on.
I actually just got back from Chicago yesterday.
I did a gig out there.
I did a showcase out there.
Very nice crowds out there.
Chicago is an interesting place.
We think we have it bad in Maryland.
In Illinois, the governor's mansion is another nickname for prison.
That's how bad it is out there.
It's not too good.
Illinois is probably the only state I know where the governor's mansion is another nickname for prison.
But traveling, I learned a couple things while traveling.
Like when you board a plane, there's a way to instantly change people's traveling experiences.
Like you can change the travel experience from people, everybody on the plane.
Yeah.
Just by saying these words.
What did Tom say next?
Here are your choices.
Number one.
I brought my own fish for lunch.
Who wants to share?
B.
Why is the pilot watching flight instructional videos on YouTube?
Next.
I went to college with the co-pilot.
It's weird.
He's not allowed to drive a car anymore, but a plane is okay.
Four.
I have a deadly peanut allergy.
Then lastly, don't worry, everyone.
I'm a comedian
I know how to handle bombs
two minutes with time
wow this is a tough one because none of them are funny
and they can all be the actual punchline
I'll go first
this is going back a few years
but I think it's B
why is the pilot watching
the flight instructional videos on
YouTube Adam what say you
I'm going to go with gay
wrong game
I'm going to go with
B as well, it seems just
wordy enough and low-hanging enough to be.
Annie?
I think it's lastly.
Handling bombs.
Oh, geez. Okay.
Megan, what do you think?
I was thinking B also.
All right.
So I'm just going to go with it.
Yeah, that's nothing wrong with that.
Three of us might be wrong.
Four of us.
You might be right.
Oh, you picked that one as well.
All right.
Oh, this would be a huge victory over Cardiff.
Come on.
If we go down, we go down together.
I don't care if I lose this lawsuit as long as I win this game.
Let's go.
I need this.
I need this bad.
When you board a plane, there's a way to instantly change people's traveling experiences.
Like, you can change the travel experience from people, everybody on the plane.
Yeah.
Just by saying these words, I have a deadly peanut allergy.
Watch the reactions, and it's like you're making a difference.
You really are.
You can change it.
This episode is brought to you by Patreon.
com slash Cardiff Electric's new YouTube. Subscribe now at Cardiffelect. I'll play the rest of
Cardiff's plugs, but... But you're pissed about that joke. Is he talking about the fact that they
serve peanuts on an airplane? I think so. Yeah. Fuck, man, they don't serve peanuts on airplanes.
When is the last time this guy flew anywhere? I don't think he has. He's never, never, but he's
listened to comedians talk about it. Yeah. I think we're funnier than him. Fuck, I know we're
funnier than him. So I'm on this plane, having sex and doing drugs.
and uh yeah i know he was talking about things he doesn't know about these games they're real exercises and not overthinking because we're smart and we put too much effort into it it's always so obvious god damn a cardiff don't you dare miss it's the worst one sit eugene sit good dog
the great cardiff electric go uh check him on patreon dot com slash cardiff electric and follow him on youtube at cardiff elect
We're going to play, is it gay?
But first, I saw my buddy, Dr. Steve showing up on Supertip.
Let's see what he has to say.
Some people with poor hygiene develop hyperalgesia of the scrotal tissue.
This causes crusty, long pubic hairs and a fetid odor, some called Don King Syndrome, fluid.
I believe that.
I believe that.
I think it's poor hygiene is the problem with this guy.
shave your balls
that was insane
all right not to re-hash that
um adam get this for me
shikana castles
SJ is just mad that the lollipop guild
terminated his iatsi contract
yes
union worker o g mumbling nick who did a great
political show recently everybody should check
that one out he says
I sued Sharon Stone in one
I sued serious and Carl Heberger
and shulie agar and lost
you can't win them all
fingers crossed
coming down the pipe
is forever.
It's a state of mind.
Melissa has been a member
for 18 months.
Love you guys.
PWO, AWO.
Love you as well.
Love you more than a friend.
All right.
I was going to steal
Melton Stinger,
but I forgot to do that.
So we're just going to have to play
this game without a stinger.
Is it gay hosted by Megan,
the review girl?
That was just as good.
Yeah, what a stinger.
I nailed it.
Wow, just record that.
Play it next time.
We got it.
We got it.
All right. Any intro to this magazine that we should discuss? Any rules?
Want to sing a song? Just have fun.
All right.
Keep an open mind.
The premise is Aaron Imholt has no creativity whatsoever.
And so when he makes fun of things, he usually calls them gay.
We have to determine once we hear the setup, whether Aaron will think what he's talking about is gay or not.
Look, I'm not one of those dads who's going to push their kid like, yeah, you're going to play varsity and then D1 and we're going to go to camps.
So I don't believe in that.
I treated my sports career like it was beer league softball.
I was there to have fun with my friends and win.
But I didn't really give a shit.
And then I blew out my fucking shoulder pitching because I thought I was going to play at the next level.
I'm going to fucking give her.
I'm going to give her.
I'm throwing hard.
I'm hitting 80 miles per hour.
I'm kicking ass.
I might play after high school.
Hey, I'm old.
Do you want to hit the weight room?
All right.
is taking care of yourself athletically gay, Annie?
Yes, especially if he has to go to the wait room.
Chris?
I went gay.
Carl?
I'm going not gay.
Adam?
I've gone gay.
Okay.
No, dude, no, weight room's gay.
I'm going to go to Taco Bell.
Fuck me, man.
How am I this bad at this game?
How the hell are you got to keep?
an open mind.
Yeah, right?
You never know what he's going to say.
You did give me a clue on that one.
All right. Everyone's got a point but me.
I can come back, though.
I've made a new rule on this game that makes it so I can come back at any time.
We can just end it now, too.
It feels good right now.
No, no, no.
We're not done yet.
We've got some more rounds ago.
Adam's got some good ideas.
Thank you guys so much for the amazing amount of support you show this show.
You know, there's no show out there.
You know, all these people that watch Steel Toll,
like, yay, steel toe.
None of them have survived for five years on listener contributions,
paid all the bills, everything like that.
They've either had to live off of somebody else or do something else.
So you guys really are a special crowd.
Is being a steel toe supporter gay, Annie?
It's not gay.
Chris?
I do think it's gay, but not in this instance.
instance. I'm going not gay.
Carl. I suck at this game. I'm going
gay. Adam.
I think he thinks
supporting people is gay.
Being supportive is gay.
I'll see. I'm going to split on this one.
And I do appreciate it. Or as McBuster says,
you're gay.
Yes! Yes, Macbuster!
Thank you. I needed that one.
Adam just took the lead, though.
Yeah.
I'm feeling good about it.
Feeling good about my chances here.
I'm just drunk.
I'm only one behind the lead.
Let's go.
One game back in the standings.
I was talking to a Baptist minister at the Benton County.
Gay.
Gay.
That's a fucking sentence, right?
And we were talking about religion.
He was a really interesting guy.
And he even does a show on WJON on Sundays.
And this guy, we were talking about Catholicism and how political and monetized
Catholicism became in the Middle Ages.
And I was talking to him about how I was raised Catholic.
I kind of liked the way the Catholics do shit.
And then he was reminding me about indulgences and, you know, men getting between you and God and using.
Is being raised Catholic gay, Annie?
Yes, it's gay.
Chris?
I'm going not gay, but I'm just trying to be strategic.
yeah i'm going i'm going not gay on this one what do you what do you think adam i see how that
would be a a good game plan but i got to follow my heart and end the math and the numbers and
say that it's it's gay all right well you are winning it to make money for themselves and i'm
like yeah yeah no that part the political structure and the fact that there's a pope and the
saints i think a lot of that's fucking weird yes
what if i said w malice isn't weird yes all right yeah that i think it ties me
for the lead, right?
Well, no, that ties me, you, and Adam up.
That's what I mean.
I'm tight.
Oh, yeah, I'm sorry.
Yeah, right.
Obama just added weird to the list of LBGTQW now.
So, technically.
Unfortunately, that's, yeah.
LGBW.
Mm-hmm.
All right.
Annie, step up.
I'm second guessing myself.
I got to stop doing.
Well, you are the champion of this game.
All right, so don't even worry about it.
You've undefeated so far.
Carl's saying you don't have to win.
this time. Let's know what else would for once. Stop hogging all the Ws over there.
All right. This is round four. Sam show says, Ben, the rules of the Bible. You Catholics just make
shit up like Jews. Do we? Do us? You know, we do. We do kind of make shit up. Like a lot of the
shit we've made up is that, like, a lot of the money stuff. A lot of the stuff that makes the church
money was completely made up like indulgences we also talked about how the catholic church did a lot
of gatekeeping back when they weren't allowed to do masses in anything but latin and
all right is uh are things the catholic church does kind of going with the same theme here
is it gay this time annie yes chris yes yes apparently uh yeah i also feel strongly that this
says a yes.
Adam?
Historically, yes.
I'm going to go.
Okay.
It's all gay.
I agree.
That's kind of fucked up.
Oh.
That's a little weird.
Oh.
So religion is it was weird.
I can't hate on my Catholics and he can't hate on his Catholics.
Okay.
That's just weird.
Good to know.
You got us with that one.
He stumped all of us with that one.
I know.
All right.
This is round five.
Potentially game winning round if one of us pulls ahead.
shit. Nova sent me an email
or a text to the show line this
weekend. He's like,
you've got to use this for show content.
And it was an orange reading
Chad Zumach's drunken text messages.
And I said,
I'm just like,
this is embarrassing. I said,
no, I'm not, this is
pathetic. I was like, this is,
I think I described it as non-tent.
And I'm like, he's like, oh, what are you
going to talk about Israel then? I'm like,
okay, listen to what you?
just said
Israel, which is
like the top thing
in the world right now.
There's Israel and then
what's number two?
Taylor Swift. I don't even know what the number two story in the
world is.
It's pretty much.
Fires in Canada maybe, but not. I don't know.
But he's like, he's like, dude, you got to talk about
the guy reading the other guy's text messages.
I'm like,
wow. Is Chad
is, is OJ reading
Chad Zumok's text message is gay.
Annie?
Yes, yes, it's gay.
Chris.
Gay.
Carl.
It's gay.
Yeah, yeah, it's gay.
Wow.
I really had I hit pause on that quick,
we only have two seconds left of this clip.
Here we go.
Let's find out.
Come on, gay.
Do you understand how gay that sucks?
Nova sent me.
I knew it.
That was an easy one.
That was an easy one.
All right.
So now we have a three-way.
tie for first right correct all right so if i win this point i get two points everyone else is going
for one point on this round everyone else is fired yes that is the uh that's my new rule that i
incorporated so i could potentially win someday this is our bonus round to settle the tie
finally figure out is it gay and me suggest you can go in different orders with us right i think
you should change it up from you know so it's not always annie going first you got it to
He's trying to manipulate you somehow.
Somehow it's to his advantage.
Trust me.
Whatever he's doing right there.
I think.
I think it makes more sense to let other people go sometimes.
Oh, Hobo says about the cheerleader.
He's kind of hot.
All right, I'm skipping that.
Skipping it.
MSO says that dude is definitely smuggling a green dildo.
Yep, right to the links game.
Or he's just, no, he might just keep it in his ass during the entire game.
He'll bring a green dildo to a links game.
He'll just keep sitting on it, wiggling back and forth.
You know what?
I really didn't need to act that out, did I?
That didn't help.
That helped nothing.
All right.
Is Aaron acting out having a dildo in his ass, gay, Carl?
Thank you.
Can we go back to Annie?
Of course it is.
Perfect.
Perfect.
Of course it's not going to say no.
I'm going to say no.
Annie.
Somehow, no, it's not.
It's not gay.
somehow. Adam?
I'm going to go with gay.
Chris. I'm going
not gay. Oh, so Adam can take it
with us. He could. Or I could
take it with us. Let's see. What happens?
Me acting out the
wiggle. T. Duden
just says, wow, that was way too
gay. It's pretty gay.
All right. There you go. Anna with the win.
Congratulations, buddy. You earned
that one. Yeah.
And that was exciting.
Another fun round of Is It Gay?
Thank you, Megan, for watching Stiltoe way too long.
Thank you.
Thank you for the all-inclusive trip to resorts in Sandals Casino.
What do you think you won?
I don't know.
Some bullshit.
A brand new car.
Guys, what have we done today?
We've done it all.
We talked about Brendan Shaw being afraid of ghosts and trying to convince Christalia.
He should be as well.
we talked about steel toe making the lawsuit against me and shooley a win for the toe
Howard Stern has a new promo on serious XM trying to own this controversy and all the hype
that's come up opi is alone in this house and it's quite evident unless there's ghosts
no one unless yeah let's the ghost of his children and wife off to get uh stuttering john
what can you say considering john filed a lawsuit against me and
And also sucks on TV appearances.
We played two minutes with Tom.
We played, is it gay?
You know what that means?
It's not for everyone's favorite part of the show.
The TV.
The TV.
Next week's teaser.
The teaser.
The teaser.
I'm not going to lie and tell you I have everything planned for this Saturday show.
But I will tell you this.
Brandon Formally of Shitty Song of the Week is going to stop by with Syrax's podcast.
Syrax, the low cow, the weirdo from the internet.
has a podcast.
So we're going to have some choice clips on that.
Anthony Coomia will be swinging by on this Saturday episode.
So it should be a great one.
If you want to watch it live, you can do that if you're a YouTube member or on our
Patreon, Patreon.
Patreon.
On the website, of course, we put out everything as a audio podcast.
It is free in our audio feeds.
So if anyone wants to hear any of the episodes, they're all free to listen to.
And you should subscribe wherever you listen to your finer podcasts.
I'm going to ask if there's reviews or Spotify comments, but first, over on supertip.
That Gigi slash WATP, Lou Gossip Jr.
I can't stand you criminals.
Oh, you want to be my lawyer.
Sure.
That would be great.
I see what you did there.
Riley and Friends coming in, the colony of bugs on his balls gets pissed and start biting
if there's too much activity down there.
That sounds right.
Principled uncertainty, imagine how terrified the local gay community
are in that small town. They must be begging Allah. He never comes out.
Talk about Aaron.
Yeah.
This has been a marathon. This is the longest show we've ever done. And thank you all for being

Megan, do we have any Spotify comments that you've been looking at for the last episode or two?
I have a few
We have a couple from
Episode 645
The Great Seamuse
Said I loved my best friend
In the whole world, Adam Bush
Do you know about that, Adam?
I don't know where that is
You should
He's a great guy
We hung out with him in Vegas
We have one from Riley
That says it's 2025
Can We Trim the Bush?
I miss trucker, Andy, and Lucy
Tightbox episodes.
Oh, I miss them too.
All right, yeah.
Shame what happened to them, yeah.
And then I have one from...
The Jews will replace us.
They're fine.
They're sleeping.
They're doing well.
He just went school shopping yesterday.
All day and night.
I'm sorry,
I interrupted you.
Go ahead.
It's okay.
I have one more from episode 646,
from Nick B.
say what you want about Aaron M. Holt, but he's right.
He knows some people better than they know themselves, like how their cum tastes.
That's true.
I don't think Nick would be the authority on that.
I would definitely go to Aaron.
He's never going to live that down.
No.
I don't know if you caught Point Dabble Point this week, but we had Chrissy Mayer on the show,
and I was telling Chrissy Mayer about all this.
And she was so appalled.
She's like, how would anyone date this guy knowing that he tasted this other man's
come it's like that's your ankle on this
you can't worry about future
girlfriends not everything
else yeah like there's so much
to not like about error to do so many
reasons not to want to date this guy
but that's one of the more likable things
yeah right he's experimental
I'm still friends with Cardiff I don't judge him
right right I judge him but I'm still friends of them
yeah for other reasons
Annie do we have any new reviews that have come in
yes we have
one coming in from Yoshid Tsar, it says,
I used to like this show a lot when Kai and Doug were regulars.
Now I just hate listen waiting for the good episode that brings it back in.
The worst part of the show except the teaser soundbite is when Carl has to go over
everything left in the schedule like it's fucking radio.
What an annoying douchebag.
I hope Carl drowns in his own blood after a Coke bender.
Chris is cool, though.
Jeez.
That always happened to me once.
Is that a five-star review, I hope?
No, they generally don't like you.
I've been in touch with Doug.
I don't know if I should be talking about this.
It's kind of private.
But Doug reach out to me and want to do a thing on the show.
I'm like, yeah, Doug, you're welcome anytime, buddy.
And so I've messaged him multiple dates and he's never available.
He's like, I'm working all the time.
You reached out to me, motherfucker.
So I don't know.
Someday we'll have Doug back on the show.
That would sure be nice.
Some people just like to feel wanted.
I know.
I love dog.
He is wanted.
He's wanted any time.
The second one comes in from Cranberry Electric, and it says, I've been unmedicated for a week now, and the walls are screaming.
Carl is a smell of gay lord.
Unmedicated.
That sounds like it would be a one star, but I'm going to say.
Sounds like it's gay.
I'm going to say five.
No, it's three.
He's unmedicated.
Three.
He doesn't know the algorithm.
Five.
Yeah.
Three does absolutely nothing for us, which is why you do that.
I see what you did there.
I see what you did.
All right, let's listen to some voicemails, and then we'll get out of here.
I'm sure people have places to go and things to do.
Are you a banter guy?
Oh, wow, it's a banter guy.
You know what?
I miss banter.
Is it going to be absolutely riveting?
Is it going to change your life by any stretch?
Probably not, but it's going to be at least banter, okay?
By the way, for those people that are in the back, remember the banter the fuck up.
I've been dying to say that.
That's impressive.
Even the voices are pretty good on that.
So recreating the WATP intro
With some banter talk
From WATS. That was really well done.
Oh, this is a correction I got
When I was talking about Vito Giswaldi on the show
And how much money he raised for his comic book Superkiller?
I thought I'd bring up
Kind of an important correction with the Vito situation.
He didn't raise 30 grand.
He raised 118 grand.
Jesus.
And, yeah, that's why.
people are pretty pissed off
that he hasn't done shit with it yet.
30 grand, whatever.
It's a lot of money, but
118, come on, Vito.
Wow.
How long ago was that, Annie,
that he was going to put out a super killer.
Two years, right?
Yeah, at least.
Something to add on top of that
is you can only get a refund if you bought the
addition with the lunchbox.
How is that possible?
That seems so crazy to me.
He raised all this money to create this comic book
and he cannot get it done.
Cannot put it out.
I think it's mad at people for asking.
Hey, it's almost there.
Yeah, I know.
We've heard that.
We've heard that for a couple years.
All right.
Here's a question.
Hey, Carl, just wondering, what percent of Rochester is in the double verse?
Because I met a guy at the beach in Delaware who's from Rochester.
I was really embarrassed to ask him about it.
But if you're out there, you're out there, brother listening, I see you.
It's essentially zero percent.
Yeah.
There's nobody in Rochester who cares about the show.
It's not like we're a local show.
I didn't come from the radio.
I'm not Aaron Imholt.
No one here gives a shit.
Oh,
let's talk ween, shall we?
God fucking damn it, Carl.
God fucking damn it.
You know, all these years of listening to you talk about ween this,
ween that,
no effects.
Backstage with Andy,
no offense.
Although no effects does no matter
and regarding what I'm calling about.
Okay.
But I just heard pushing the little daisies from Wien and, yeah, I guess I'm in.
You fucking Cuck me and being a Wien fan.
All right.
Go fuck yourself.
Bye.
Thanks for your call.
Not even close to their best song.
So if that's the reason why you like Wien, there's better reasons than that.
But thank you for your call.
I'm glad you got into it.
Slow Poco calling it.
Hey, Carl.
It's Slow Poco.
I just wanted to say.
Congratulations on getting sued by Stuttering John.
He's so stupid.
Okay, keep up the good work.
All right.
Shout out to Paco.
Thanks, Slowpoke Paco.
I mentioned before the show started, I did get a note from Review Girl Vic,
who we haven't seen in a while,
who congratulated me on getting a wool suit from stuttering John.
She's still deployed?
Yeah.
Wow.
Yeah, I was, I thought Trump got rid of women in the military, but apparently not.
There's still a lot of days.
She doesn't count.
Yeah, yeah.
Hey, look to her like, nope, you're still out.
Yeah, I'm calling to clear up his ball washing controversy.
There's no reason to use the term.
There's two terms we use.
You're either a dick rider or a bottom feeder.
So, for instance, Carl, you're an anti-Kumania dick rider.
Okay.
And then when you travel to Detroit, to eat Dr. Lane's ad.
You're a bottom feeder
Get it fucking straight
Very rude
Hi producer Chris
Hello
Why did I play that one
That was so mean to me
Why would I do that
He and Chris had a real connection
That was nice
Oh this is exciting
So from time to time
We get celebrities calling into the voicemail
And this is one of my favorite celebrities
Who call us into our voicemail here
Good afternoon
My fellow dabblers
This is WATP Obama
Today I am announcing
The appointment of
a special prosecutor to take over investigating and resolving the latest lawsuit that has
come down the pike from Stuttering John Melendez against Shulie and Carl Hamburger, H-A-M-B-U-R-G-E-R.
Let me be clear, while Stut Joe's jokes definitely did not make me laugh at that
correspondence dinner, and if they did, they were likely written by Jackie and Fred.
I want a fully transparent and independent review on behalf of all dabblers everywhere.
As the creator of groundbreaking pilot number one son once said,
Hi, Stuttering John's attorneys.
Today, I am appointing Judge Joe Brown to review this nonsense.
Nice.
Now, has anybody seen Michelle?
Sasha Amalia.
All right, thanks, Obama.
Thanks for calling into the show.
It's been too long since we've heard from you.
You know, speaking of the lawsuit, I did get a nice homemade card from Lucy Tightbox.
Sorry about your lawsuit, Looza, it says.
One an artist.
One an artist.
She is.
This one's for Megan, talking about Megan's new game that we have.
Hey, Carl.
I know you were looking for his finger for Megan's new game.
And I know you've seen the movie, The Producers.
And that song,
Keep it gay, keep it gay, keep it gay.
I think anybody with some editing or musical talent could change that into,
is it gay, is it gay, is it gay?
Anyway, I think that would be a good stinger.
By the way, Megan's game, much better than any of Cardiff's.
Hey, Megan.
Hey, you.
That's actually a really good idea for a second.
I see that you're writing that down.
That would be great if we could get...
It is a good idea.
Yeah, it'd be great if we can get someone to...
to pull that off for us.
Well, thank you very much for that.
We have a couple of, like, new voicemails
that kind of help us end the show, like this one.
This is Nate from Flint, Michigan.
And guess what?
This voicemails over.
Then we have this one.
Bye.
Boom.
A plane has hit volley.
Vinny Paulino, because he's so fat.
Boom.
I got to go.
Bye.
I got to go.
Bye.
I got to go.
I got to go.
I got to go.
This is when Chris yells at me and goes.
