I told them, in the strongest of words, to just do it.
You see, this is a, we just do it kind of show.
There's so many people that do the garbage.
It's the easiest thing to do in the world.
I know. Episode 649.
Are you a boner guy?
Oh, I was a boner guy.
You know what? I missed penis.
What are you talking about?
I'm the one who should apologize.
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 entertaining, okay?
By the way, for those people that are in the back, remember to shut the fuck up.
Shut the fuck up, ass wipe, and suck my cock.
I've been dying to say that.
Cuzzaro, because a ro, claperunie.
It's showtime.
W-A-T-P, W-A-T-P.

as well as Ron the waiter revealing incredibly personal things.
Also, the return of to poke a dabbler with Cardiff Electric is coming up.
And another round of Is It Gay with Review Girl Megan?
But first, Brendan Schaubb learned a very important.
life lesson this week, and he tells us all about it on The Fighter and the Kid.
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, so The Fighter of the Kids, host by Brian Kahn.
Kalin and Brendan Shob, it's been a show for 15 years, and they're still going for some
reason.
No one could figure out why this episode that I was checking out from six days ago has 44,000 views.
It's crazy.
It's crazy that they're still doing this thing.
And then they pretend it's like everyone's listening to the audio version of it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
I'm sure that's what's happening.
And so Brendan comes on the show and he's wearing ridiculous pants.
Because anyone who doesn't have a personality has to wear a ridiculous clothes.
Never mind the photo of me in the New York Post.
Forget about that.
But people without a personality
have to wear ridiculous clothes
in order to mask
that they have no personality.
And so Brian comments on them, of course.
And that turns into
a series of jokes
that I think everyone's going to
have a great time with,
a gay time with, I'll say.
What's going on?
Episode number two of the week.
What's going on?
Talk about those pants for a second.
Now, those are duck hunting pants, right?
Are those actual first light pants?
These are cock hunting pants.
Okay.
but they're duck hunting
I sit in the bush and look
for cop
Yeah you can say you you camouflage yourself
You see a dick run by and you jump it
Only black dares
Really? Only black dares
Okay because of the biggest
Uh huh
Uh huh black stag
Black stags
There you go
Stallions
What is going on?
Oh
Some more dick jokes in there
Was that enough?
We got enough of those
What's going on?
The energy level
And the jokes
It's just like
this is not a show guys
I don't think they like each other
it doesn't appear they do
or at least I don't think Brian likes Brandon
yeah this is the shot of the couple
right before they go into counseling
when they're just in the waiting room together
making small dogs
right
so apparently
I guess the premises
if you put on gay pants
it will make you crave cock
is that true
I don't have any gay pants
there'd be a funny movie premise
though
right
Right.
The traveling gay pants or the brotherhood, the traveling gay pants, people put out
these pants on their, all of a sudden they're gay.
But only when they're wearing the pants.
Oh, so that's the funny part.
So then they're gay and they hook on with a dude.
They take the pants out, like, what the fuck?
What are I doing?
I feel like somewhere skinny chat is looking at the screen screaming.
I try.
Nobody listen to me.
That's true.
That's true.
We're all thinking of it.
I do have gay pants.
I did turn gay.
So I guess I know the answer to that.
Although the internet would disagree with almost everything I just said.
So it was the first day of school.
for the kiddos and of course they moved to a new city they're in Austin now oh and so the
kiddos are in a new school and Brendan drops them off you got uh bosty boston he's uh five or six
years old and then uh tiger i believe is nine and so this is the story of Brendan dropping the kids
off at school i get the sense that these guys aren't friends and they're literally just getting caught up
find each other's lives on the show.
Like, this should be the conversation you have in the break room,
not necessarily when you start the show off.
Yeah.
I dropped them off.
I thought it was going to be, like, the hard for him, you know, buddy.
Because they have friends there because we moved in the summer,
so they made all their friends.
All their boys are there.
So he knows everybody.
Oh, Bossi was like, see you?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'll take you from here.
Yeah.
I'm like, well, no, I'll walk you.
No, I got it.
I'm like, oh, hell no.
And I'm like, all right, so we dropped Bossi out first.
then T's going.
I'm like, T, you know, I'm like, explain to him.
I'm like, you know, you just got a, you know, sports are the equalizers.
So that recess show off, buddy.
He goes, yeah, I got it.
I was like, well, yeah, but I'll walk you a class just so we can see your desk is, I'm good.
I'm good, dude.
Yeah, I don't need you next to me.
I'm good.
That's right.
Dude, heartburn.
I felt like crying.
I know.
I went, oh, yeah, no, I get it.
Dad's not, dad's not cool.
Hate to break it to you, Brendan.
You were never cool.
You really does think, like,
I'm a celebrity.
Don't you want me walking you to class?
And all the kids see that your dad's a celebrity?
They're like, please don't.
And I get it when you're nine, but the five-year-old is embarrassed by his dad?
That's weird, right?
Brendan's special in that way.
That's weird, right?
Do these kids know that he's an embarrassment that everyone mocks him on the internet
endlessly at that age?
Do they know that?
I think they're aware that they're going to have to start supporting the family real soon.
The nine-year-old is.
It's kind of a crazy story.
And you can tell that Brendan was taking up back by this.
And he even explains that they should be really proud that he's their dad.
Oh, I'm like, hey, hold on.
You know, coolest dad here, though, right?
Out of these dads?
Yeah, cool.
Come on.
You with your gold hair, I drove the Hummer, too.
I drove the Hummer for you.
Beat it, nerd.
I brought the Humble first day of school.
The dad pulls up in the Humper.
I think I know what's going on here.
Because he wants to be the coolest guy.
And he wants all the kids to be like, whoa, holy shit.
You're dead.
Brendan, shot.
so he drives the hummer and he's going in like ready to go he wants it too bad and the kids pick up
on that they're like not dad first of all the pants dad yeah wear the duck pants god damn it
there's a phrase called cool mom yeah that's what he thinks he's trying to define himself
every time his career you know they're talking about his career and it goes nowhere he starts
you know well i have my son tiger's doing well he got a baseball bat he's gonna he's
defining himself as something, and whatever he decides he's going to be, has to be the
coolest one on the block.
So now that he's focusing on, Austin was for my kids.
That's the new story.
He has to be super dad, and this kid is fucking it up for him.
Right.
Can I just walk into your desk?
Definitely not.
Why would you do that?
This isn't about you, son.
This is about me.
I need this.
So then, I guess they have coffee out for the parents who are dropping kids off, which again is
weird, but, you know, whatever.
I don't live in this world.
But this is interesting.
But then they have coffee for all the parents there.
So I'm just mingling with all the new parents.
Sure.
My morning was mingling with the new, the newbies.
Uh-huh.
Yeah, that's it.
Cool people?
Yeah, everyone's super nice.
It's nice.
Everyone's super nice.
Yeah, why wouldn't, why would they be a deck?
That'd be a weird, tired to be an asshole, isn't it?
But I also, I was, when I'm watching?
this. I'm thinking, like, when you're in school as a kid, it's great because you make friends
easily. Sure. You see the same kids every day. You have common interests. Oh, you're into Transformers.
I fucking love Transformers. Oh, we should hang out after school. You know? Oh, you have to be here too.
Yeah, me. But adults don't go to school to make friends. Like, all of a sudden, Brendan is just like,
yes, and I got a bunch of new friends because I hung out and had coffee with that after dropping my kids off
for the first day of school. He likes a captive audience. He dies. He seems like a lonely guy.
I think he's been pretty lonely since he moved to Austin.
He's not even hanging out at the comedy club with his buddy Joe Rogan.
Oh, I know.
He's burying the phrase that pays, which is what he doesn't want to say, which is, I'm now in the PTA, and that's my life.
There is a social group for what you're talking about.
You just don't want to say that phrase, PTA, because you know what that sounds like.
But that's what you're doing, and it's very noble.
Embrace it.
Yeah, seriously, if that's what he's doing, that's a good thing to do.
So then Brian's talking about his 14-year-old son, who he had with his.
ex. And as he's talking about this kid, who he's very proud of, of course, he's a proud father
as well. But his kid isn't a star athlete, like nine-year-old tiger is. And so Briden's constantly
just like, yeah, he doesn't play sports, though, right? And so Brian's just like, right, I mean,
he doesn't. And you can tell that, like, Brian has to explain, like, I get it, your kid's
cooler than my kid. My son is tall, good looking, and he's funny. But he's not, and he's
coordinated he can he's not like unathletic but yeah but sports on his thing that's it
yeah he's not he's not like some big baseball player but the kids you pick up on that yeah yeah he's
that's a big baseball player the tiger is gonna be the next uh star all star the league and brendon's
body language really pisses me off there oh we have to listen about your life now right oh oh you
have kids too so you got to chime in with this gives a shit you make me look at pictures great
Right.
All right.
So then they get off on this other conversation about financial literacy and how no one teaches
it, no one understands it, no one grasped the concept.
And you guys are going to have to chuck me if I'm being a dick here because Brendan
learned something from his finance guy in Austin that I think he should probably know.
Like even with my guy out here, he's like, hey, you know if instead of paying your mortgage
once a month, if you break it up to.
bi-weekly. You know you pay your house off
in six years earlier? So instead of 30 years, it's 24.
I went, what? Little details.
And I thought, and I came out to my phone, I'm like,
why has no one at, why don't they discuss that?
Because the bank makes more money.
I know. I know. I know.
So Brendan just learned that if you pay more
towards a loan that you have, you pay it off quicker.
He didn't know that. Why does anyone ever tell me if I just paid more
money towards this loan that it would be gone sooner?
because they want more money, you idiot.
I mean, how stupid is that?
But even the way he says it is not the way I said it.
If you pay it twice a month, why are you paying it twice a month?
I guess, you know, if you're waiting for a paycheck or something,
but I always pay more towards the principal on my loans because I can
and for that exact reason so that I'm not paying as much interest in the long run
and we can get a paid off sooner.
Am I the only one who does this?
That kind of Jew magic might fly in Rochester,
but that's not how they do it there in Austin, okay?
So you keep that to yourself.
Is that crazy?
Like, Brett is just like,
did you know that you could actually just pay more money than you owe?
No,
we pay under and we owe interest.
It's the American way.
You're right.
I want a late fee.
I want,
yeah.
God damn it,
it's my right.
The fuck's he talking about.
I want warnings.
Well,
that,
it gets even dumber as he talks about this thing that he learned.
Like,
all right,
let's pay off the house to have no mortgage.
And then the,
you talk to somebody like,
you don't want to do that.
Right.
I'm like,
why?
Like,
you know, whatever, whether it's a car loan, whatever is that has high interest rate,
you want to pay that off.
You don't want to pay off the one that's the lowest interest rate.
Because then your money's sitting in bricks and mortar when it can be out there working.
Exactly.
At a higher interest.
But yeah, no one, you know, it's just, I'm learning it now at fucking 42.
I know.
At least you're learning it.
Which I'll be able to pass down to my kids.
And like, my dad knows a lot of the shit, but he never.
Yeah.
Yeah, he probably thought it was a lost cause.
If it took you until you were 42 to learn that you could pay off a loan quickly?
if you gave them more money more often.
Your dad's probably just like,
I'm not going to be able to help this guy with this.
I think this whole thing is a bit.
I think before they start recording,
Brendan's like, I'm going to say the dumbest shit
and you have to try and yes and with me.
No, you're giving it way too much credit
because I watch this unfold organically.
You're giving it way too much credit
because Brian was the one talking about financial literacy
and then Brett was like, oh, dude, I got some stuff on that.
Guess what I learned?
You should pay off high interest loans
before your low interest loans.
Wow.
The old teens school.
I guess not, but
common sense will go a long way
with that kind of thing, I would think.
Am I being a dick?
And I'm going to go ahead.
You don't want to put me a check around here.
Not about this.
No, not about this.
Good answer.
Gotcha.
Good answer.
All right, so then crypto talk comes in.
So we're going to talk financial literacy.
We've got to talk crypto.
Yeah, but it's like crypto.
I think in like 20 years
people I'm like dude how the
fuck did you not get involved with
crypto and I know I should
get into it I just don't and you know
I'm a pretty smart guy
crypto
but yeah but not all crypto
hear me out of here again you don't know what the fuck you're talking about
neither do I when it comes to this like there's certain things
about Bitcoin's good things to me out I know a little bit
about it yeah I've had some conversations though
this is great
I've never heard a sentence like that
hear me out you don't know anything about this and neither do I
Why are you talking that?
If you just admit it you don't know anything about it.
I think I just heard you out.
Right.
That's enough.
We get it.
Also, I can't with this fucking guy.
In 20 years, when you're kicking myself, I didn't purchase crypto.
Crypto is one of these investors that just goes like this.
It just fluctuates up and down like nuts.
No one's just sitting there going, it's a long-term investment, that crypto.
In 20 years, that's when Bitcoin's really going to pay off.
I mean, it will.
It probably will.
But also, if you bought it a year ago.
You fucking pay it off.
I don't know what his point is.
He sounds really stupid.
But let's hear him out.
He sounds really stupid because he's correcting this guy on the difference between
crypto and Bitcoin, which he doesn't know and does not want to learn actively.
Yeah.
And so I love that he shut down that conversation.
I've heard Brian Mike point this out.
Like, Brendan thinks that this is his show and Bryant's his sidekick.
He feels like he's the guy who should be doing the talking, which is wild.
But now let's hear him out because he just said,
No, no, no, no, no, no, I don't want you talking about this.
I know, I'm, I'm going to tell you about it.
It's like, if you don't get involved in it and, like, at least spend some time learning about it in 20 years, but you're going to be kicking yourself.
I have.
And I know this.
And I know Bitcoin and Crypto, but even like, we get out of here, I'm like, I got shit to do.
So he's like, good, good, good, good.
I got this.
And then he repeated the same thing you just said.
Yeah.
I should learn about crypto in 20 years.
I'll be kicking myself if I don't know about crypto.
I don't know about it.
Brian's about to say.
I have some, I've bought some, I've been through the process, let me tell you a thing or two.
Wow.
It's funny that you say that because that's exactly what's about to happen.
You can tell, it's crazy.
Yep, you can tell that Brian, just like, well, hold on a second.
I think I know a thing or two about Bitcoin.
So, yeah, let's find out what he knows.
Well, I would say this, like, I'm in Bitcoin a little bit, okay?
But, like, as far as, like, here's why, here's the only thing I say about Bitcoin,
because I've talked to the big boys, and all of them,
go, most of Bitcoin, most of crypto's trash. The thing about Bitcoin is this. There's a finite
amount of it. There's a culture that there's already an economy that underpins it. It might be a dark
economy, but there's an economy. People use it. Number three, there's also a philosophy around
that that's never going to die, which is I'm, there's an anarchy to it. There's a, there's a rebellion
to it. There are people out there. Well, there's four things going forward. There are like, I do
on principle because it's my way to say, fuck, you know, man. That's not going away. And then there's a fourth
reason I think crypto, especially Bitcoin does well. It's because people like to gamble.
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, so there's those things, but hold on a second.
Also, if I learned about it now in 20 years, I'll be happy that I did that.
I loved that.
But I was like, no, no, no, I talk to people.
I've invested in Bitcoin.
Here's why I think it's a good investment and gives four reasons.
Let's take it even farther.
Brian just said, nobody teaches you this stuff.
How come they don't teach you in school?
He's teaching you right now and you're not listening to him.
Yeah, ask, ask.
Ask experts if you want to learn.
They'll tell you.
You guys both have access to people.
Brian's like I had some conversations.
I got a little bit.
Let me tell you what I know.
No, no, no.
I'd rather just make faces and flash around my pants.
But your kid's not into sports.
You win every time.
Can you get a home run?
No, he can.
All right, fine.
You got me there.
So then they're talking about black guys who talk different to other black guys
than they do to white guys.
They actually play a pretty,
funny video of Obama congratulating a basketball team and all the white guys he goes up just shakes
their hands and the black guys he's like fucking you know grabbed him like this and doing the
pro hug and everything it's kind of funny and so uh brendan then admits something that i think is
quite telling and maybe the reason why i find him so obnoxious yeah half my lingo comes from
brian and delia you know i was older i came in and my lingo comes from new york yeah my buddy jimmy
Burke and those guys, you know, you just, you pick up shit.
And I'll see myself, like, I'll see clips.
I'll be making certain points.
Like, I sound fucking like Delia, man.
But, you know, it's just what you're influenced.
People are like, oh, stealing from Delia, I'm like, no, he's one of my best friends.
That's not good.
Chris Delea talks like a child.
That's the last guy you want rubbing off audio.
The way you communicate.
It definitely has now that I think about it.
Yes.
It makes nothing but sense.
And the fact that Chris Delia might be famous doesn't
change the fact that you have no personality and are just stealing other people's.
No, no, no, he's just one of his best friends.
Oh, okay.
That's cool, then.
Steal whatever you like.
Continue to not exist.
All right, so this is wild.
This is, uh, he had an epiphany.
Brendan learned something.
He's 42 years old.
And he finally just learned that it's okay to admit you don't know stuff.
You don't have to be a no at all.
You don't have to act like, you know, everything that's going on with everything.
thing and he learned it the hard way he's going to tell the story about how he learned this lesson
you as i as i find i'm getting older i find like it's okay to be like i don't know
you know what i'm saying like i don't know how about that it's refreshing oh dude because i was i had this
meeting with this big car company and uh i have these headers from for my f-350 i've never used
this brown i'm familiar with i've never heard the one say it and i thought i thought the name was
cooks
I thought it was cooks
sure
K-O-O-K-S I thought it was cooks
right so I've never been around someone that said it
or anything like that
I'm at a meeting
these guys are the car guys by the way
they know all this shit
and they go
what kind of headers are there you go
I have the the kooks
for the for the 7-3 back there
and he goes
I can see it on their face they go
and they're like Texas boys
they go
what do you have I go
the kooks the kooks
headers and he goes
cooks and I went
it's pronounced cooks
he was yeah I went
dude and I was embarrassed
that's the first time
I've ever had someone explain it to me
so he was embarrassed
in front of a room full of people
that he looks up to car guys
yeah because he wants to be a big car guy
he wants to know all the lingo and talk like a car guy
and be the gearhead
and so he's there in front of all these guys he's trying to impress
he pronounces it wrong and that's what
he learned that you don't
have to pretend you know everything
you can admit you don't know things.
It took humiliation.
You know, humiliation really does go a long way in this world.
It does.
Now that I think about it, those lessons stick with you.
I just fear he hasn't learned his lesson because he's explaining this self-effacing story
in a way that makes him look in his mind so cool.
Like he's being whined and dined by these big exec car people
and he's, you know, investigating things.
He just found out about like, that's not a story of you.
learning something. It's just an embarrassing
story of you being stupid and having learned
nothing in the long run. Well, yeah, because he didn't go
on to admit that he's bad at stand-up, and that's why he quit.
There you go. He didn't admit
that he didn't move to Austin for the kids.
There's a lot of things that this guy doesn't admit
about his lawsuit
that he has was unique, and now he's still
dragging that out. There's a lot of things that he doesn't
talk about. He
interrupted a person trying to explain
something to him to tell him this story.
How funny is that when he's just like,
I get, get, get, get, get. Let me tell you about Bitcoin.
It's okay to admit you just don't know any shit about Bitcoin.
I know less than you.
Let me explain that to you.
Let me take control of this with my lack of knowledge.
I love that you called that.
You saw that one coming.
So then he gives an example of, you know, when it's okay to admit you don't know something.
But it's a weird example.
Or even when so asked me out of fight, like there are some fighters on their card I've never heard of.
And even I'll be on the companion and Eddie be like, Dan, you guys know those two?
And I can tell me and Rogan really don't.
And I went, yeah, yeah, you know, but I should have went, Eddie, I don't know those guys.
It's okay, dude.
Like, it's so much better.
It's like, I actually don't, dude.
That's the craziest example.
It's like, it's okay to admit when you're wrong.
And then he gives an example of when he totally lied and pretended he knew something he didn't know to be cool and have the clout.
That's a different thing.
Is that bizarre?
That's called lying.
Yeah, well, right.
Yes, I know.
Is that bizarre, though?
He's just like, guys, I learned this lesson that you should admit when you don't know stuff.
But I didn't learn it on Rogan show when I was doing the fighter companion.
But he's flexing the entire time.
It's so bizarre.
He's flexing and he doesn't seem to really understand the definition of, I don't know.
Like he keeps talking about names he just didn't have, not what we're talking about.
Concepts like crypto, like other forms of currency, like big things, not just names and dates.
Like people forget those.
That's not a sign of intelligence.
The way you're handling this is a sign of low intelligence.
It is, especially because dumb people think everyone else is dumb.
something I've learned from podcasting
and the way he's like
explaining this to Brian is if Brian's just like
yeah man I fucking live in this world
I know I understand
I deal with you all the time
I completely understand this concept
but poor Brendan Schaub
because it's hard
to admit you don't know everything
when everyone's blowing smoke up your ass
and telling you how no no no no no you definitely know
everything about everything
But even like when I did the Jackson podcast, like Grand Page, I'm like, how do you know all this shit, man?
He's like, it's mind.
Like, you know everything.
I don't.
Maybe it seems that way.
I go, I really don't.
See what I mean, Adam.
You know, it's hard to admit you don't know stuff.
When everyone's telling you, no, no, no, no, you do.
You know everything there is to know.
You're like, ah, man, I know, I know why you think that.
It seems that way.
But it's just not the case.
It takes a lot of effort to be this humble, a lot of effort.
Yes.
Honestly, I got some blind spots.
I know it sounds crazy, but it's true.
All right, so I have one more clip.
It's a longer clip.
But this is from a different episode.
And this is fantastic.
You know how there's feds now in D.C. law enforcement.
You're trying to crack down on the crime that's going on in D.C.
And Brian Kallin's telling that story and explaining what's going on.
And Brendan is a bit distracted.
He's not really paying attention.
I lived in D.C.
When it was the murder capital of the world.
And when they talk about D.C.'s crime wave is lowest.
Lowest has been 30 years.
30 years ago, you dummies, you dummies.
You dummies. It was the murder capital of the world.
Okay.
So I will tell you this.
When you go to D.C.
So they had the shot just on Brian.
And then Chin, the producer, switches out to the wide angle.
So you see both guys.
and there's Brendan just staring into his phone
and probably typing it looks like
probably shoot a text off to someone
so I will tell you this
when you go to DC
they lock up the toothpaste
in the Walgreens
and Albright just realized
that his co-host is not paying
any attention to this conversation or
what they're doing
I'm listening
I'm just got breaking news
what
don't keep going
I got breaking news
The toothpaste in DC, dude
Don't listen
Breaking news
Jesus, that is such a move right there
He just heard the words
He just like, no, the toothpaste in D.C., man
I'm obviously paying attention
That's nothing to do with anything
What a child
What a child
And Brian looks so just like
Dude
We do a show to you there for an hour
Can you fucking just tune in for an hour with me please
He was wondering to himself
Wow, he hasn't said anything a while
Oh, I get it
He's just texting
I'm listening.
Breaking news.
The mayor from D.C. text me.
I love that Brian called you out on this.
Perfect.
Hey, bro.
I'm sorry, man.
It's a lay pot.
I get shit going on with the family.
Take it easy.
I can keep going.
Holy shit.
Look at how embarrassed Brendan is right here.
He got busted hard.
And even Chin.
Just like, dude, I'm glad you called him out for that.
Because Chin's back there watching this going on and going, I'm not helping you,
motherfucker.
I'm going, wide head.
Go right now to show that you're not paying attention.
I mean
The middle of the story
What the fuck is going on of it
I thought Jim was on a single shot
You know?
Oh man
I guess he should be
But
The truth slips out there doesn't it
Whoops
I thought I'd get away with that
But it's like
D.C's a shithole right now
He looks so rad
He looks so embarrassed
He got busted
It really shows you
What we were talking about before
He doesn't know if he's supposed
to be the family man
here in Austin or the comic.
He doesn't know if he's supposed to tell his family, I'm working.
I'll call you back.
Or if you're supposed to tell his colleagues, hey, I got to take care of my family right now.
So he's making all of them miserable while dressing exactly like someone from L.A.
would dress when they're not in L.A.
Like, it's crazy how he stands out and does not look like someone from Austin.
But he died his hair blonde.
It's not helping.
Oh, that's not helping?
Nope.
That's not what they do in Texas.
Nope.
Oh, okay.
I don't know what they do, but it's not that.
It's not probably not that, I would imagine.
Let's talk about Stuttering John's stand-up performance this past Saturday night in Fort Myers, Florida.
John gets introduced up down to the stage is the headliner of this performance.
And we're off to a really bad start because he does not know how to start a comedy show.
the person came and didn't he do a great job?
I thought he didn't do a great job.
Wow.
He's not the MC.
No, he sounds like he's hosting
like some kind of
convention.
Let's get down to party.
You guys ready to have some fun tonight?
Just like, yeah, no, I'm ready.
We've been sitting here for a while, actually.
Go ahead and start telling jokes.
Yeah, tell some fucking jokes.
I've never seen anything like that.
Like, no reaction at all from the crowd.
Just nothing.
He should try doing something funny.
Yeah, he should.
That's what they're expecting, and they're surprised.
They're not getting it, instead they're getting this kind of like bar mitzvah DJ or hyping up the crowd at halftime.
But you know what it is?
In John's mind, everyone there is a Howard Stern fan.
Right.
So he thinks he's bringing in the energy of the Howard Stern shows, because I've seen Arty do stand up.
I know what that's like.
Fucking Stern fans are crazy.
They see Artie come out.
He's just like, ah, they're like, ah, fucking great.
John has no Arty leg.
And the Stern, and he hasn't been on the Stern show.
in 25 years.
And even if you did listen to the Stern show,
you don't know what the fuck Skoll means.
I was just going to say,
that wasn't a stern thing.
It was not.
That's a podcasting thing.
Yeah.
And I've talked about this before.
John yells Skoll throughout his stand-up show
and he trains the audience to yell Skull back
because that gives him a chance to get a little sip of his beer.
Because there aren't any laugh breaks for him to get a sip of his beer.
Most comics have that boom.
Zinger, and then they go, all right.
You know, a little sip of my gear over here.
I got plenty of time.
Watch Ron White from 15 years ago.
That's a guy who's a fucking pro.
He knows how to hit him hard, get a nice sip of your scotch, and get right back to it.
John, that's a yell skull in order to buy himself time.
Hey, look over there.
Well, it's funny.
You say that, because in this next clip, he introduces someone who's in the back of the room,
and it's someone who's very familiar to us.
It's Jen Stacy from Golf Co.
News.
Oh, the anchor.
Now, I remember, John was on Gulf Coast News to promote this gig,
but he was also on there to promote a gig down in Naples from a few months ago.
So he keeps getting on to this show, and he even said that his last appears,
we put on the clip on here, where he goes, yeah, and you came out.
And she's like, yeah, I did.
He got her to fucking come out again.
But there's something he says here that's crazy.
Now, give it up for Jen Stacey.
I don't know if no one knows who she is, because maybe she's not in this market.
Or if they just don't give a shit because it's like morning TV news.
Yeah, they may have never seen her before.
They might not know who the fuck she is because I don't know any of the news anchors on morning news in my city.
That's not what I'm doing.
I'm not watching it.
No, but if they said Jed Stacey from the local morning news and said whatever the letters were, everyone would applaud.
He doesn't give her that respect.
He's like, you know, Jen.
Let's see.
Here we go.
Give it up for Jen Stacy in the back from Gulf Coast News.
She was the one that, you know, had me on on our show and introduced me to her husband, Chris,
and that's how this all happened.
But anyway, I'm happy to see a lot of friends here.
What confidence.
Introduced me to her husband, Chris, and that's how this all happened.
Is he the booker?
Does he own the comedy club?
No, he gets lost.
He was just mourning that he didn't fuck her.
That's what happened.
We were watching that playoff.
out.
So I did a little research into this relationship between Jen Stacey and Chris.
Interesting.
Chris is a black man.
Oh.
And I think that plays a trigger too.
It triggers John because his ex-married a black man.
And he does not like that.
She introduced me to a husband.
All of this happens.
Yeah, yeah.
All of this.
That's all my depression happened.
The fact that I'm destitute now and lonely.
These tits that need a bra.
All right.
Remember, according to Aaron Imho, we can't make fun of Suttery John anymore because the spending a lawsuit.
I really understands how life works.
So, John, immediately just starts calling people out in the audience.
That's a good way to get warmed up, right?
Just start making fun of people.
You know, I'm seeing some very ugly people, but no, I'm only kidding, but like, I'm looking at that shirt, and I'm wondering if it came with a cock, but anyway.
So I guess the shirt is gay
Because it comes with a cock
Hmm
That's a good deal
Is it?
I don't know
Sounds expensive
Nobody
Understood that joke
Or thought it was funny
And the fact that
John fancied himself
This roast comic
You can just go up there
He actually had a business
It didn't last very long
But it was like wedding roaster
Something like that was calm
Where he's like
Hire Us
And we'll come in to your wedding
or event and we'll just roast this shit out of
everybody. You know, the whole
wedding party, we'll just roast them. It's like,
you won't. You suck at this.
Wow, nice shirt. Did it come with a cock?
Not only does he suck at it.
Imagine if him and his friends were great
at it. That's the one thing nobody
wants at their wedding. You spend the whole
planning trying to avoid
those moments, not inviting people that might
possibly cause a moment
like that. He's like, pay me and I'll provide it
for you. Right. You don't want the best man
to do it, let alone a bunch of strangers
to come in.
Right.
Yeah, the guy that you just said was gay.
Yeah, that's the Christian parents of him right there, the front row.
They're kind of uncomfortable now that you said that.
So maybe lay off the, does your shirt come with a cock stuff, if you could.
I think he's going for the Rodney Dangerfield.
Oh, look at his hat.
But you buy this.
It comes with a free bowl of soup.
Oh, it looks good on you, though.
You know?
But it doesn't make any sense that it would come with it.
But even that what you just did has.
the rhythm of comedy.
Even John's, you know, announcement of
Jen, if they didn't hear a word,
if it just had that rhythm,
but everyone would have applauded, but he keeps
drunkenly just slurring and mumbling
over all the laugh breaks
and other breaks. No one knows what to do,
but just stare at this ugly, ugly, ugly man
calling everyone ugly.
Yeah, that is the other thing, too, is I don't
know what John's looking at in the morning, but it's not
the mirror, because the fact that he's fucking
walking out to be like, we're not these ugly people here.
Like, dude, what are you talking about?
I don't know if Jimmy Carr's handsome, but he shows up in a suit and he's all, like, well done.
You can take it from him, not from this homeless guy.
All right, so he starts pointing out couples in the audience that he knows.
He knows people by name in this audience, which tells me his drinking buddies.
Like, he convinced Elves's drinking buddies to drive to Fort Myers because it's just across the bridge from Cape Coral where he lives.
Not far from Stevie Tomatoes.
So he's in there every day and going, oh, I got to show it in Fort Myers.
you guys got to come.
So we convince the bunch of people to come to this show.
And so this is where he starts going around the room
and calling people out by name
and how long you've been married
and doing all that sort of thing.
I see my good buddies over there.
John, how long are you guys been married?
40 years.
40 years.
Give it up for them.
40 years.
Which only means he's taking the dick pills.
And we know that.
Yes, yes, Lorraine.
How many dick pills I've given them already?
I'm the dick pill doctor.
They've been married 40 years, which means he's taking dick pills.
John still thinks dick pills is a punchline.
Oh, yeah.
Very much so.
He's just like, guys, have you heard about this Viagra thing?
Yeah.
Yeah, we have, John.
Can you imagine these guys, this guy's taking dick pills over here to fuck his wife?
Okay, is there a punchline or nope, that's it?
That's what's missing.
Pretty good stuff.
And then he has to be like, no, no, no.
I'm giving him the dick pills that he needs to use for.
It's like, all right, whether it's true or not, don't, not necessarily.
I want to know who's selling John dick pills because he's still thinking it's like back
when you need to get weed from a dealer.
Yeah, good point.
You don't need a doctor for any of this stuff anymore.
So what makes him think this is like some special thing?
I have the internet.
I'm looking at my phone right now.
Will you talk to me?
If I give you dick pills,
will you be my friend?
Will you stay and drink with me?
Yeah, right.
The text.
John is obsessed with dick pills.
We've been watching these Stephanie Miller episodes.
He brings it up every single episode.
He has Viagra and Cialis and his dick works when he takes this stuff.
Cool.
What?
It's his version of Howard had a small penis.
He thinks it's self-effacing.
and relatable, and it's really just disgusting
and predatory. I was talking to
Drew about this on his show yesterday, and Drew's take
was, so he just wants to talk about how he's
got a boner, and that's his way to
doing that. I think he just wants to talk about his
boner. That'd be my guess.
So after the couple who's been married for 20 years,
and the guy needs dick pills,
he goes to the couple that's been married for, or 40 years,
I should say, he goes to the couple that's been married for 20 years.
They were married 40. I know Bob and Amy just celebrated
what, nine-year anniversary?
Congratulations to them.
darn years how about you Keith Keith this year my good buddy Keith I want you to marry
20 fucking years so they're not fucking but you know so they're not fucking it doesn't hit
as hard after the 40 year marriage yeah the guy needs dick fell so the 20 year marriage they're
not fucking and in between it was the nine years yeah he went in the wrong order on all of this
Like, you know, you start with the nine, then the 20.
Well, 40, whoa, that's crazy.
How do I know this better than John?
I've never even done stand-up comedy, according to the Chan Zubach.
But you're a stand-up comic, according to the New York Post.
So I'll believe what I read.
That's a good point.
New York Post has never wrong about anything.
So John is just flop sweating on stage.
He's getting no reaction.
This is not going well.
He's in front of his friends.
He wants to seem like he's this big performer and this big star.
Can you believe you guys get to hang out with me and day drink at 3 p.m.?
And here I am, stuttering John Melendez, the comedian.
And so when that happens, you start to perspire a little bit.
Oh, fucking hell, I'm sweating up here.
Jesus Christ, how long do you make that on?
Oh, fuck all.
You're a lady who's too long.
This is like 12 minutes in, by the way.
No, it's hot.
Another guy goes wrapping up.
This audience is great.
I'd go watch this audience before I'd watch Jaddy's stand-up.
Oh, fuck off.
No, it's hot.
It's fucking hot here in Cape Coral.
Oh, by the way.
You're in four Myers.
Yeah, I know you're in four fucking Myers.
I'm in Cape Coral, and Jesus Christ.
I mean, you know how hard is it to find a single chick in Cape Coral?
I mean, they're all, they're all pigs in Cape Coral.
cows. That's why I call it Kate Corral.
Keep insulting the audience, John.
Yeah, it's going great.
It's really working out well for you. Everyone's on your side.
And 10 years ago, Stephanie Miller was making fun
of his mutley. And he's doing it twice as long
now on stage. He can't stop himself.
So he's learned nothing. Oh, he never learns
anything. No, that's what we'd like about. Yeah, because
he also worked around Howard Stern for 15 years and Jay Leno for
10 years and learned nothing.
He's learning nothing during
this set. He didn't notice that when he
said, oh, it's so fucking hot a bitch.
Jesus Christ, I'm sweating. Everybody started
laughing. That was a joke.
That was very funny
to see a comic do that if he was
kidding, like how much longer do I have?
That was kind of funny.
But you shut them down and told them to stop
laughing. This is the literal
equivalent of your chat
and your live stream just
in a club, in the back of a barn.
The chat is funnier than you are
and worth showing up to the show for.
Blocked.
Yeah, exactly.
You blocked.
You got that kind of controller.
If he could until he's in an empty barn by himself.
For sure.
The whole thing where he had to go,
yeah, it's hot down here in Cape Coral.
They're like, you're in Fort Myers.
He's like, maybe you are.
But I'm in Cape Quarrow.
I was like, no, we're all in Fort Myers right now, idiot.
But he had to say that in order to work in his Cape Corral joke.
In spite of the fact that he already called everyone ugly there.
He could have just.
gone with it.
It's again, this idea that John's a lonely loser
that no one wants anything to do with,
and it's not his fault.
It's never his fault.
It's just like, yeah, well, all these chicks are fat,
so what am I supposed to do?
He looks terrible.
My point is this.
John's understanding the way he comes off.
You got this troll coming up under the stage.
Looks worse than John Goblicon.
His complexion is awful.
His hair is ridiculous.
And he's going, how come there's no fucking hot chicks who want to fuck me?
And I was like, is this guy for real?
Next.
What is going on right now?
He sounds like gravel and sandpaper.
Yes.
And he literally is trying.
This is how desperate he is.
John is a desperate loser.
He's literally trying to get laid from the stage.
But yeah, no, I mean, it is, I am single if anybody's available.
But it is high.
That was not a joke
I'm telling you right now
Not a joke
By the way guys I really am
If someone wants to suck my dick
I will accept that offer
I'm totally single right now
And there's just silence
He's like yeah but it is hot
As I was saying
It is hot
So he's got a solution
To the fact that it's hot in there
And that is
I need a cold beer
John requests a cold beer
From the stage
This is weird
at this lavatory theater.
I can't see all the lights are on me.
It's fucking hot as hell up here.
Again, Adam, that's the things they're laughing at.
That's the biggest laugh.
Because you're like, is this guy for real?
He thinks he's an entertainer?
He's complaining about lights in his face while he's on stage?
Yeah, there's no way he's never been on a stage before.
This has to be a bit.
He knows that's how it goes.
Yeah, like every stage has the lights on the performer,
and it's hard to see out into the crowd.
Every fucking stage.
And he's going, this place is weird, man.
Why am I up higher than you guys?
I'm sweating like Donald Trump
at a Mexican day parade
Sorry
So as you know
And John even said this on the morning show
He goes there's no politics in my act
Don't worry about it
I know I'm in a red state
You guys can come out and see my act
You won't hear any politics
So then he lets that
Trump joke go
Because he can't help himself
And then he has to apologize for it
Sorry, sorry I'm just a joke
Just a joke
Hey I can think anybody can
Get me a beer back then
What?
She said the guy because they stopped selling them.
What?
Wow.
Anybody can get me a beer back there?
This is not a performance.
You're in a band.
You know how bad that is.
If you're there in the middle of your act
and they've stopped selling beer.
It means they are done making money
and they want to go home.
Yeah.
And you're still talking about it.
Well, I think that was a joke to fuck with John.
Oh, I hope it was real.
I know.
I was going to help me that, too, because he would definitely freak out.
So then he does get a beer.
Someone brings him a beer.
And this is the longest beer break I've ever seen.
I've seen lots of stand-up shows.
I've never seen a break take so long for the comic to get another drink.
I'm going to be honest.
That's why I was sweating.
It had nothing to do with the lights.
It was old because I was worried I couldn't get another beer.
That's not funny.
No, it's true.
And he wrote it.
It's his.
He finally wrote something.
Yeah, yeah.
That's alcoholism.
And he goes, I'm not sweating because of the lights.
Right, because there's LED lights now.
No one, it's not hot on stage anymore.
It used to be really hot underneath the lights.
It's just not a thing anymore.
So John's just like, by the way, the reason why I'm sweating is I thought that guy was telling the truth.
There wasn't any more beer left.
And I was really fucking losing my mind.
And it just, none of these things are landing, obviously, because everyone's just looking at them like, ugh.
Because they're drinking buddies from the bar.
They're all just like, oh, man.
He's like the Barney of the bar, you know?
His alcoholism is slightly more raging to make them all feel better about themselves.
Well, that's just drunk talk.
Sweet, beautiful drunk talk.
Aw.
Look at him.
He's opening his beer.
Is it cold?
Yeah, it's cold.
which is like any girl
I ask out of her
I mean
Wow
Way to vamp
Ladies
I do have I am
I can produce
If you are
Did you say I can produce
I can produce if you want
I have Viagra
Ladies I have Viagra
I can produce if you want
I was hoping you're going to push a rope into me
but okay yeah that sounds good yeah let's talk about that boner
I don't even know how to analyze this anymore
this is the saddest thing I've ever heard I remember back in December
John was leaving the internet and working on his one-man show
and was going to be on his boat writing jokes
yep and this was going to be his big comeback
and this was going to be setting John 3.0
and now we're listening to him in a comedy club
that's half full at best I mean the person who recorded this
said there were maybe 30 people in this room
and a lot of them are his friends
that he begged to come out to see him
and everyone's uncomfortable
it took him so long to get a beer
and open it
what do you think is going through his mind
while he's milking that
he's like nothing
yeah absolutely nothing
I can't wait to have this beer
he forgot he was on stage
what do you guys doing here
someone asked if it was cold
it's like oh yeah it's cold
I mean yeah of course they don't have
more beer in bars
could you imagine
Which one did you want?
The warm one or the cold one?
I'll take the cold one.
Yeah, that's good.
It's funny.
They thought he cared.
He just needed it now.
Yeah.
But also...
I think...
Hear me out.
John used to hit on girls unsuccessfully as a kid.
He knew it didn't work.
Then he learned saying,
I'm on the Howard Stone Show,
got the conversation going,
so then he could use that.
Now he knows what he looks like.
And it's like being someone else
or being something other.
That's how he gets laid.
So he has to invite them to gigs
to a gig to a.
a show where he just stand up.
That's the only way.
Now he's there.
He's at the show.
He knows if there's ever, ever a slight chance he's going to get late.
It's going to be right now.
So I just got to keep pushing this thing because it's not happening on the way to the car.
It's not happening during the day.
I don't see anyone ever that's not working for DoorDash.
So this is my only shot.
I got to keep bringing it back to it.
It's the only reason he's doing it.
That's incredible because you even heard him say.
Like he keeps connecting that.
He's just like, yeah, it's cold.
It's like how the women treat me around here.
And you're right
This is one opportunity
Like I'm the guy on stage
Performing right now
So it's not gonna happen now
It's not gonna happen
I mean you painted it so clearly
He's not here for comedy
He hasn't written anything
And on that live stream he did
Where he didn't show his face
The other day
He actually said the same fucking shit
I couldn't believe he was like
Yeah I gotta write some new stuff
I gotta get out on that boat
And write some new stuff
Like he hadn't said that
Six months ago
Where he's been doing nothing this entire time
He's the laziest guy
I bring it up a lot, but John has two qualities, and that's stupidity and laziness.
And I can't tell which one is the dominating quality.
Because he is as lazy as he is stupid.
And I think laziness is fierce.
So he's just a stupid, scared, smelly Puerto Rican with feet.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We can go through the list if we want to.
But the other thing, too, that you heard in that clip, just to bring it back to that clip,
because I think that clip is amazing.
It took him 40 seconds.
There's just a break in the show.
knows he's like opening up a beer but he looks over the crowd he goes he's opening his beer like
he recognizes they're watching him in his natural habitat yeah as if he's like a zoo animal right
what do you guys watch him you open my beer yeah because you're the performer yeah what are we
supposed to be watching everyone we're gonna give me a phone break right now if he need to text someone
to check twitter i think he loves this i think he gets off on this it's the same way he starts
to show every time even with a six month break
He has to be like, you're going to wait and you're going to watch me get myself together.
He gets off on this somehow.
He loves it.
It's either the killing of the time for the superchats to come in or the killing of the set time,
just knowing these seconds are going by.
See, always men's of mine.
I'm always one step ahead of you.
He thinks he's getting one over, not just like debasing himself.
He started that stream that he did recently, talking about how many beers he drank that day
and how many he's going to drink and then saying he's not an alcoholic.
It was so great, and it was even better than that, Carl.
Right before he said that, he actually started it with,
Oh, hey, everybody, school.
He hadn't said a word.
He hadn't said a word since the last stream.
He didn't think to clear his throat even a little bit.
It was amazing.
And then right into, I know you'd think I'm an alcoholic.
It was so good.
He's the opposite of a pro.
That's for sure.
All right.
So then John sees, I think, like a little flash of something in the back.
And he goes, oh, this bitch is recording me.
So he calls her out.
Hey, uh, those in the back, uh, Todd, you hear?
I agree with her.
There's a girl that keeps on tape, bitch, gets like a phone on it.
Oh.
Oh, is that just your sunglasses?
Oh, the whole time I thought you were taping me, dear.
I'm sorry.
Oh, it's fucking Kathy.
You're talking about it?
Aren't you from Jersey?
Um, another white trash like me.
Just go!
Wow.
So he's all paranoid, and rightfully so.
Yeah.
He's all paranoid.
He must have seen, like, light reflecting off this woman's glasses or something and thought it was a phone that's up with the...
I don't know.
I don't know what he's seeing.
But it turns out it's Kathy from Long Island, who's another drinking buddy of his.
She's like, I'm not recording you, John.
It's Kathy from Long Island.
It's like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm sorry.
Skoll.
now the guy who recorded this for us i don't know what the fuck he was thinking because i'm listening
to the show and all of a sudden john's getting quieter and quieter i'm like is john not
talking into the microphone anymore what's he doing and so this is weird
This happens to the naked gun.
I know.
This fucking guy brought his phone.
People are so addicted to their phones.
They don't realize you can just leave it on the table.
Let it record.
Why are you going to take your pee break?
He brought his recording phone with him and peed.
And I missed seven to the half minutes of the show because of that.
So he go, ah, ah, yeah.
No.
He does confess to a murder, though.
I don't think he was pretty on a performance.
I couldn't believe he did that.
It's so fucking crazy.
All right.
John, as any comic would do, during their set,
asks, hey, where's the party after this?
Where are we getting drinks?
Anyway, I'm going to hang out in the back after.
Is there a bar around here we can hang out?
No.
No, we can hang out.
Come on.
I'm drinking after.
All right, so where is the bar to hang out of it?
I'm following you.
Lucky screw?
Can I get lucky and screw?
John, that's the fucking joke.
That's the why it's called that.
It's not clever.
We can go to the lucky screw.
Do you even know what that means?
Yes.
Fuck.
Has he told a joke yet?
No.
There are no jokes in this act.
He's like, I got Viagra.
I'm trying to get laid.
I need a beer.
Where are we hanging?
All the girls are fat and ugly.
Well, that's all.
got time for.
Go ahead, Adam.
No, no, it's more the same.
Okay.
Okay.
All right, well, looks
bomb, baby.
Bad advice.
What?
Yeah.
Is that good?
Yeah.
All right, we'll go to lucky screw.
Well, let me just end with this.
You guys been great, give it up.
Get the fuck out.
All right.
I guess we're going to go drink in a minute.
But first, I had to do my squeegee joke.
I swear to God, he closed the squeegee joke.
It's incredible.
And there wouldn't be a live settering John's stand-up show
if he didn't tell the audience or someone in the audience to fuck off.
Hey, John, he could be better on me later for showing up.
Fuck off.
About time.
There's so many conversations he's having with audience members during the set.
And this is the best one.
Because John's telling his story about New Year's Eve.
The day before Oscar was born, he has the Kardashians over at his house, and they're having a party, and a nine-month pregnant, Susanna is washing the dishes after they all have dinner.
And, you know, she's been put to work.
Then she goes into labor.
Well, anyway, you guys know the story.
It's not flattering for John Melendez.
It makes them out to be a real piece of shit.
I don't know why it's in his act.
But he brings up the Kardashians over at his house.
and there's a guy in the crowd who gets a bigger laugh than John ever does this entire set.
You know, the Kardashians are over, believe it or not, we're all hanging out out of my house.
Bullshit.
Sir, with that shirt, I would not heckle me.
John took seven beats to come back with, with that shirt, I would not.
heckle me
again it's just always the shirt
always with the shirt
it's always the fucking shirt man
it's not a good comeback right there
but he got a big laugh
down further they say he looks you up and down
he needs to go all the way down and all the way back up
because he's getting stuck right there at the waist
yeah
looks like a convenience item
what did he say
he said so he goes I wouldn't
heckle me with that shirt it looks like a convenience
item
uh what's that i think he meant clearance oh because a convenience item doesn't make any sense sure
and uh fudcichol pointed this out that when lady die from the opium anthony show um she suffered
dementia from alcoholism she would forget the proper words to use and so she starts substituting
in the wrong word and it seems like john's going down that path because he always talks about
how he's able to substitute in words to stop his stutter.
He's very proud of himself for that.
We've been watching on Living in the Past,
that series on our Patreon,
or if you're a YouTube member,
we've been watching where he's on Joe Koi's podcast,
Koi Pond, back in 2017 or 2016, I think.
And he's talking about how amazing he is,
as substituting words in that he can say without a stutter.
Now we can't say clearance.
He says convenience.
Like, things have dropped off a bit for our buddy, John.
But instead of saying, I'm sorry, and I love you and I owe you, he says,
fuck you, you dumb fuck.
That's a substitution.
Yep.
Right, right, right.
And then he sues people.
Fucking hell.
He has another Kardashians.
Oh, I know, really?
Don't worry, I went to Chloe's wedding, you dumb fuck.
No, you didn't.
It's so easy to rattle this guy.
Ah, you didn't graduate at NYU.
Why?
He fucking loses his mind.
Googling, you fucking asshole.
Let's go.
I'm surprised he didn't Google it and show his phone to everyone.
Oh, right.
Pass it around.
Anyway, and I thought this asshole, that was to hit at me, which is fine.
You've got to get out his angst for, you know, he's molested all in life.
I enjoyed that.
I know you.
That is a horrible, horrible comeback.
wow this guy's he's really gonna win everyone over yeah right that's what i mean like this guy's uh heckling
me i bet he grew up with a horrible childhood and he was getting molested you're like oh i hope not
fuck that's not great and that it wouldn't be his fault if he was so it's like yeah who are you
calling out with this what is the point it's not funny in any way no it's not gonna get laughs well
when I start to stutter I can't tell a joke so
but it really shows you this is his
going for the jugular every time
because it feels like that to him
what to this guy was just like a toss off
that any professional comic could slam
back so hard they would never do it again
instead he kills in a room
full of John's close personal friends
who laughed louder at that because
they got the joke John no one gives his shit
If you know the Kardashians, that's the joke.
It's irrelevant.
You care.
You think your friends need to hear this again.
You think you're going to impress strangers.
No, that's what they're laughing at.
But you don't get it, and you don't know what's happening.
So it feels like, you are molested.
Fuck you.
Like, it's not the worst thing in the world.
You are, John.
His angst for, you know, being molested all in life.
I enjoyed that.
I know you.
Don't touch me better.
Not my father.
all right i know you want to insert yourself through the show can you let me just finish
yeah and then i've never ever seen a comic plead with a heckler like can you just let me do my
act man he's bargaining with him yeah i mean listen he can make fun of me after the show i'll give
me the microphone you can do a tight five if you want but you can just let me finish my act so i get
paid to get out of here oh but after the molestation thing if that guy just let it breathe
yeah i know i know yeah he didn't need to
He could just be like, oh.
But he's still doing good.
He's holding his own.
He's doing fantastic.
So, thank you for recording yourself peeing and going to John Schell.
Yes.
We certainly appreciate that.
So this guy, Sean, from potentially criminal, broke down the lawsuit that we have with
Stuttering John, went through every page, talked about it.
It has the same opinion that I do, that it's a giant pile of garbage, that there's no way
an attorney wrote.
and he had an opinion on here
that I was pretty impressed with
and I want to thank Lucy Typebox
who actually watched this whole thing
and found this timestamp
because I think Stalin 19 made a clip of it
a nice little summary of it
but the actual entire program
is two hours and you wouldn't see this
if you just watched Stalin 19's clip of it
so as of prior streams
they use his name and image on the thumbnail
which that's you're allowed to
I mean shit
I used starting John's image in this thumbnail
fucking sue me
faggot, let's do this
Now, I like that this is catching on
I'm not a big fan of the F slur
But if you're referring to stuttering John Melendez
Then I think it is appropriate
Thank you, Sean
For summarizing that perfectly
Let's move on to my buddy Aaron Imhol
And the Steeltoe morning show
Please please guys
Stream Labs, pay pal
Super Chats, Rumble Rants, Venmo.
Maybe, you know what?
Maybe we don't deserve it.
At the end of this little piggy on Friday, we wrapped up, we went off air, and it was me and Megan
and Moody were chatting afterwards, and then Patrick pops back in, and he goes, holy shit,
guys, I got a scoop for you right here.
And he shows us, slam piece, just put out a new dating process.
So Aaron Imholz's girlfriend is gone.
And I don't like to be a got to be Greg, but I saw it with my own eyes.
I saw that she was out there with a dating profile.
So rumors, of course, are swirling because people know her real name and other people
have discovered this.
We didn't talk about it.
I'm this little piggy.
I've never talked about it before.
But it's something that I saw it I know about.
So people are now messaging Aaron asking him about this.
talking with them about it.
And I just want to show you how Aaron reacts to this.
J-Hart with a dollar.
I mean, that fan fiction keeps going.
It says, Keanu is how we know SP is gone.
Now, Keanu and Gino were hanging out during the 11th anniversary show with Aaron at the house.
And I think they said that Slampeas was around one of the nights because they were there for
the whole weekend.
but then Gino said something recently that maybe she wasn't there anyway it doesn't matter
none of that matters let's just see how we react to this I will let her know I'll let her
know I'll tell her some people just can't see when they're getting played and it's
it's fun because they're your own personal chew toy just for fun J.R. with a dollar says Gino said
they lied about seeing SP I don't think he said that seeing as she was here one of the nights
they were here and we all hung out.
I'm sorry, I can't indulge your fantasies.
I'm not your father.
Get therapy.
Uh-oh, steel toe.
This is beyond pathetic.
Get a job, Aaron.
Okay.
J-Harr with $1.
Says, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong.
It's just what Gino said.
Well, I mean, it's okay if you're wrong.
And what I find fascinating about this,
because I don't like to get into personal lives and this kind of thing.
But the reason why,
why I realized Aaron was a phony was because he was lying about April for all that time.
Oh, April's still with me.
She might be back on the show next week.
We've been talking about it.
You know, she just needed a little break.
It's fine.
And then he comes out and she's like, yeah, we're going to get a divorce.
And she lives with the ricadas now.
And she hasn't been here in weeks.
You're like, oh, you were lying about your relationship with April.
And I think this might be happening again.
Which is crazy because this could only catch up to.
him. This blatant lie, I don't know what the end goal is for something like this.
He won this moment right here in his mind and didn't have to admit the truth. That's it,
because Aaron, um, we might not know whether SP was there or not, but we know for a fact that
you asked, uh, Keanu and Gino to text April multiple times to say that they were with you.
Does she want to hang away? We know that's a fact. So if this is at least a mystery, I'm going to go
with them. But maybe you're right, Aaron. Maybe she was
creating a profile to
bring it a third for you to
share. We don't know. I'm not involved in your personal life.
I don't want to...
That always works out well. Additional partners. That never
goes wrong for Aaron. What could
possibly I go wrong.
It always seems like a good idea.
Producer Chris.
It's a good idea for a while, actually.
All right. So, Aaron starts talking about
how the St. Cloud, the local
media, is obsessed with him in his show.
and they're just constantly watching what he's talking about.
St. Cloud Media, who is still obsessed with, they listen to Steeltoe all the time,
especially over at Town Square Media.
They love that they're still listening.
They're still checking it out, especially my old buddy.
We kind of saw earlier this year how jealous he was and how miserable he was with his own life
and where he's at.
My old buddy, Paul Shea, so he heard Steeleto talking about the Penn and Teller thing
from the Renaissance Festival.
And he's like, oh, I got to write a story on that.
That'll be big.
So it is nice to see Paul following his big brother's footsteps
and following the show and creating his articles
because he knows Steelto's box office, baby.
Sorry, I just...
Let me break down what's going on here.
Paul Shea works for a radio company
and is the morning jock and went to high school with Aaron.
and came out to Hackamania
and came up on stage with us
during this little piggy
to talk about what a loser, Aaron is.
That's what Aaron's referring to
is just like, yeah, I know you got your thing
that you're doing.
It's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
He didn't look miserable.
I hung out with him that night.
Adam, you hung out with him.
Chris, you hung out with him.
It seemed like he was pretty happy,
go lucky guy.
Seems like he was having a good time
and happy to be out in Vegas with us.
He was not coping in any way.
No, he was, we were all having fun,
clouding Aaron.
We didn't drag him there.
No, no.
No, definitely not.
It wasn't like, come on, please, please.
No, it wasn't that at all.
It was very excited to come out and hang with like-minded people who think Aaron sucks at everything he does.
So Aaron, in a very Stuttering John-esque fashion, goes, everyone's watching me and what I'm talking about, all the media, all of the other shows.
This is what Suthering Johnny should say about Gary Delabate and Howard Stern.
I know they listen to my show, and they're stealing from it.
And that's why, you know, I bring up that Donald Trump.
this thing and then they break it up it's like no that's just the news so erin's trying to connect
this thing where paul shay wrote an article for his website that was about this pen and teller show
that was newsworthy in their area it's very possible that he was just covering something that was
newsworthy in their area and not that oh i saw aaron say this this must be important so i'm
going to post it on the website but everything to erin is a win
so the fact that he covered this on his show
and then the radio station wrote an article about it
put on their website
he has to spin that into
I'm not just the news
I create the news I report the news first
it's like if he thinks he's fucking
TM Zumach or something
so he can't help
but be a super smug little prick about it
I
know Paul takes that shit really personally
and he's watching it
right now I'm just look you know me I'm just having a good time I don't take any of it
personally anything you did even though it was kind of psychotic and weird uh because I haven't
thought about you at all hold on a second the guy who brought up Paul Shea's name never thinks
about him at all meanwhile Paul Shea never brings up Aaron he doesn't talk about it's radio show
it's not mentioned in the article there's no mention of Aaron and Aaron's big uh gloat
is, I don't even think about you.
You're doing a segment about it right now.
Yeah, it's a monologue.
Yeah, right.
It was probably in your notes.
What do you mean you don't think about him?
You saw that the article was posted on their website because let's not forget the ratings came out recently.
And so all the radio stations are calling up Aaron like, oh, when can you get back on the air?
Our ratings are down.
That was funny.
What's in the news?
All right.
So Aaron goes on to talk about.
how he understands what's happening in everyone else's life.
This is an interesting skill to have.
I don't know anyone else who understands people who they don't interact with,
motivations, thought processes.
It's crazy that this is possible.
But I understand where it's coming from.
I know you're miserable.
I know you don't like where you're at.
I've been there.
I get it.
I'm just having some phone with you, buddy.
No hard feelings.
He just doubles down on being hateable, doesn't he?
Yep, this is one move.
It's just one movie's like, you know what I could do, though, is be like a super douchebag.
Super douche.
To show you how little he's affected by any of this.
You know, Aaron, some people, they're assuming what people are doing or they're guessing,
because it's based on a life of experience, based on things they've done that they feel like,
give them an opinion to weigh in on this.
There are things that you can weigh in on, and it's none of the things that you're willing
or want to talk about.
But other people that have experienced this thing might.
have a thing to say or two, and you might be able to learn something once in a while if you
actually listened instead of just coping. That's crazy. He knows everything there is to know,
Adam. How could he learn something when he knows everything already? Look at all the Ws on his
chart. Right. Everything's W for this guy. You're kidding me? That's crazy. I also love that he goes,
he never has receipts. He just goes, well, Paul Shea, you know, he's just miserable and he hates
his job, and he's just, he's just upset.
I talk to Paul one-on-one.
He's got the number one rated morning show, and he runs the station.
He actually runs the entire group of stations owned by that company.
He's doing great.
He loves watching this little piggy.
They sit around to the office on Fridays and watch us make fun of this idiot.
He seems to be having a good life.
So could it be maybe not Paul Shea, but you, Aaron, that hates your job and is miserable right now
and is coping, could it be?
Oh, that's our time for today, but
we've had a great time.
But I think we're making some breakthroughs here.
I'll see you next week.
Come on in.
And then Aaron says something that kind of gives it away
of what's really happening here.
So no, what happened with this Penn and Teller thing?
Sorry, I just wanted to throw a little shade and have a little fun.
I knew it would rile them up and get them all pissy.
And he's probably going on Reddit today and writing to be,
can I come on your show to talk about Aaron?
I don't have an audience of my own.
But I'm devious like that.
All right.
So Aaron just gave something away that I don't even know if he realizes because he's kind of dumb.
And that is that there's a guy on the Steeltoe boring show subreddit named Paul Shea who is constantly putting posts up and is very erratic.
It's not the real Paul Shea.
But Aaron's a fucking idiot and doesn't realize that anyone could create any username they want and pretend to be anywhere they want.
He disagrees.
He disagrees.
He has a different opinion.
He thinks that's the real Pulchay.
It's not.
Pulchay is happily employed and doesn't fuck with you.
He doesn't care.
He came out to Hackamania.
We had a good time.
And that that's about it.
You have your set of beliefs.
I'll have mine.
We'll leave it at that.
Isn't that funny that Aaron's reading the subreddit that claims to not read?
He's, you know, he's out touching grass.
He's not on the internet.
Meanwhile, he knows the Pulchay, this pretend Pulchay is in the subreddit,
freaking out, doing the shit.
And he's just like, yeah, I did that segment.
Like, fuck with him.
So he goes back on that subred.
I wants to get on Melton Show or.
Of course.
The guy he never thinks about.
The guy he never thinks about.
All right.
Aaron's been having a great week.
He's not begging for the money.
He's getting all these donations coming in.
In fact, they're feeding the next day's goal.
And his new goal is to never start a day with a goal that's $300, but should be below $300
because he already made money towards that goal of the previous.
day. The goal of the goal.
This sounds like a great show. I got to see this.
Yeah. So this is him talking about how he's not begging for money.
All right. Let's go ahead and throw in a couple of bucks. We are 170 away from today's goal.
It was a small goal today. It was 220. So I'd like to see that knocked out.
Kind of like yesterday. We have had basically a no beg week in the morning and I appreciate that so much.
So let's keep that energy and that vibe going. Sorry for the OBS crash earlier.
It's kind of hurting the grand total.
Grand total was looking nice before the OBS.
Maybe that's what it was.
Maybe you had a bunch of people hating on the toe,
and they secretly crashed OBS because they couldn't deal with the reality of things
looking pretty good today.
I only say that half choking.
Even when things are going the way he wants him to go, the things that make him happy
in life, money, that's the only thing.
Even when that's happening, he focuses on the haters.
He can't get it out of his.
brain that people are hate watching him and clipping him and clowning him and that there's all
these shows more every day crop up making fun of this idiot and he can't get above that and beyond it
and just do his show it's in his head nonstop and he thinks there are people that are just
watching his show for something else like he thinks they're all disappointed like when is you
going to get to the hot topics get off this goal who are those people he's got to convince himself
otherwise what are we doing right
It's crazy.
The other thing I picked up out here is, like, when Aaron says he's not begging,
that's just a form of begging.
Yeah.
You know what I never bring up on the show?
The fact that I have legal fees to pay, and the supertip.g.
G slash WTP is a great way to help support me in the show because I don't bring up stuff like that.
I'm above it.
Why would I bring that up?
Fucking, we see through it, Aaron, you idiot.
So that was yesterday.
This morning, things weren't going as well.
I'm not really hitting the goal
Here's what I'm defensive about
Great show today
Seven minutes left
50 bucks away from the goal
It was a short goal today
You guys have been fucking crushing it all week
Let's go
I want force of will
To bang out this goal
Random bacon with $2
Says how much money
For the errand to errand transition
I can't
You know what
You might have asked me a question that doesn't have a dollar amount attached to it.
You might have finally gotten one random bacon.
Wow.
There's one thing he won't do for money that is transitioning to a woman.
What's great about him bringing up that chat is that one of the ways people make fun of Aaron is by calling him by the girl spelling of it, E.R.I.N.
You see it all over the internet.
And the fact that he put up the thing that says Aaron to Aaron and made that a thing out of his show.
Probably not a wise move, but I don't care.
And so he goes, well, you know, actually that's the one thing you couldn't pay me to do.
But anything else, I'll eat dog food.
I'll eat a stick of margarine, you know, anything else.
We're doing anything for lose.
Yes, but I won't do that.
So now he's going to explain that he doesn't mind debasing himself in order to hit this goal.
$50 away from the goal.
No, $50 away from the goal.
I just realized that that question was asking that I immediately said.
said $50, please don't throw $50 in asking me to chop my cock off.
That would not be okay.
Throw in some money because you love the show and you want to see it hit its goal and
you want to see it do well.
Let's do that.
Stream Labs, PayPal, Venmo, Super Chats, Rumble Rants.
I'm fine with begging for the end of the show here.
We did four plus hours of really great shit.
I got to debase myself a little bit here.
But I really want to knock this out because A, it was a short goal.
If we can't knock out a little over 200, we're in trouble.
And then also, we've got a perfect week going, and we're very close.
We've only got two goals left, so I want to do this thing.
This is insane.
He's like, guys, we have not been begging.
Okay, I'm going to start begging now because I'm getting desperate, and we're going to start begging.
And the reasons why we should give him money.
Now, remember, it's the viewers who are giving the money.
It's not people who have shares in steel-toe ink.
since not people are going to be hanging out with him later
and hoping to get a free meal when they're at dinner.
He says the reason why I should give me money
is because we're having a perfect week.
Okay.
There's only two goals left this week.
Right.
What happens then?
Yeah.
Why does this matter to anyone watching?
Like, Aaron can't figure out that his goals and the viewer goals are very different.
I don't care if you've had a perfect week.
I don't care if you have two.
Two more goals this week.
And also, you shouldn't bring that up because it's Wednesday morning.
And he's sitting there going, we got the Wednesday night goal.
We have the Thursday morning goal.
It's like, you're already thinking about those goals?
We're trying to have this goal, idiot.
I want to go back to the original short goal.
How much to chop your dick off, Aaron?
He was negotiating there for a second.
How much are we talking?
Because now I think we're sharing a similar interest here.
How much would it take?
More than 50.
Okay.
That's a start.
That's a start right.
Greater than 50, I think.
It's a good starting place.
Let's see how much we can raise by the end of this show.
All right, so then Aaron explains you these $50 to hit the goal.
But I know what you're thinking.
You're like, yeah, but are there different ways we can give you $50?
Can you explain what some of those might be?
Yeah, he's got an example for us.
Bapa Shab says, the McBegger, now with 10% less goal.
Not if this shit keeps up.
Come on, baby.
50 bucks away.
Be one of the huge.
Heroes, two, five gifted memberships on Rumble is all it's going to take.
Wow.
I thought I could just give you $50, but there's another way I could do it.
I could purchase five gifted memberships on Rumble.
And then someone else has to purchase another five gifted.
What if I purchased 10 gifted memberships on Rumble?
Would that do it?
I love when he starts breaking down different ways to give him money.
It's great.
There's options.
I'm sitting there going, what is the best way to send money to Aaron?
What's the most fun way to do?
and I wonder.
So then, you heard him say he needs a hero.
A hero comes in and gives Aaron $50.
And you would think that he'd be like,
holy shit, you are the hero.
I don't deserve, but I needed.
Thank God for you.
Stream Labs, PayPal, Venmo, Super Chats, Rumble Rants.
Sanford's son with $50 says,
so $50 transition then?
No, that's not what I'm.
They are afraid.
That's not what I said.
We take 40 of that.
10 bucks away.
Do it, baby, do it.
Holy shit.
It went from, I need a hero to give me 50 bucks to a guy going,
I'm the hero.
Here's 50 bucks to Aaron going,
all right, we still need 10.
Immediately.
He's like, oh, we get 40 of that.
I still need $10.
It's never ending.
It's a thirst that cannot be satiated.
What are we supposed to do with this guy?
It's not even a good thirst.
What's $220 bucks?
Yeah.
For my bills?
It's not going very far.
No offense, Carl.
I mean, on any other day, okay?
And for a guy who, you know, brings up issues about people wanting specific pronouns,
it's always we.
He has to say we need this.
It's just you.
There's no we left, buddy.
You never want to say, I need your money.
You say, we need to do this.
can we knock this out you're not doing anything they're doing everything and it's not we it's
just you no you're part of the show adam if you enjoy the show you're part of the show can i have my
piece of the show no no no it's my show yeah i didn't see anybody at the last stockholder meeting
at stonies right yeah just me and chito all right so that's aaron it's a little update on our
buddy, Aaron M. Holt, Steeltown.
We did a show on
Saturday. It's behind the paywall,
but we did a show with Anthony Coomia.
That's why you want to be a member on this channel or on
our Patreon because you get the link to that.
And we proved
Opie is buying viewers
on that episode.
So you'll want to check in on
that and more on that in just a moment.
For the bad, for the bad.
Bamb, bum, bum, bap, bop, bop, bop, bha.
All right, so we start off with Opie putting up some messages that are coming in, some chats that he doesn't need to put up, but it triggers him.
And everything always does.
And so this question from an obvious WATP viewer gets him going in the wrong direction.
Opie, how's the wife and kids in the basement?
All right, dude, that garbage isn't working.
So you've got to go.
It's stupid.
It's absolutely stupid.
God forbid, I'm in a loving, a loving marriage,
and I got two very cool kids.
That just bothers people, I guess.
And, you know, the fact is they don't want anything to do with my live streaming.
And we decided a long time ago that we're not going to put them on the live streams
or anything I do.
We keep them private.
Is that okay with you?
I hope so.
I think he wanted to say,
we decided they don't want anything to do with my life.
It sounded like me.
They don't want anything to do with me.
Yeah.
So this is an interesting phenomenon.
Opie is a veteran.
He's been around a long time.
He should know not to react like this.
He didn't even need to read that comment.
Nope.
And the fact that he goes,
oh, you guys, right?
It's like I murdered by.
wife and children. You guys are ridiculous. Like, yeah, that's a pretty ridiculous premise.
So ignore it or laugh about it or anything other than what you're doing because you're just
inviting more of this into your life. He also, he looks to the left in a real creepy way as if
anybody's watching him right before he answers. He does that every once in a while and it's only
very specific moments. It's worth taking note of it. Well, I'm sure that the neighbors also have
decks out, you know, overlooking the ocean. So at any given time, there could be,
be someone over there watching him rant
and rave like a little dick.
Honey, he's doing it again.
I want to know when they're like, hey, where's the wife
and kids? I haven't seen them in a while. Does this how he
responds? Is that what he's? Oh, geez,
why you go? What the fuck? Why would you?
You don't want me to succeed.
I told you they're back to school shopping.
And Target.
At midnight.
If you were divorced or if they left you or if there was a
tragedy, then we wouldn't bring it up. You
bring them up. So we ask how they're doing.
lose your mind at us.
All right.
Ed,
I'm going to ask you to take it away
because you're the one
who pulled all these clips for us
and we get into Howard Stern talk
which is the juicy stuff
that we all need.
You know,
obviously there was that promo we talked about
where they said
Howard's back on September 2nd
and he's going to spill it all.
You're going to find out
what's really going on
with the negotiations for his contract
and if writers are talking about
how they're phoning it in
and all these things that are being leaked into the news.
I think it's very revealing when people claim to know the motives behind what others do.
We were just talking about this.
When they're positive, this is why they're doing it.
Because what they're doing is revealing why they do things in this next clip, number two.
Big news.
I still got my people.
Let's just put it that way.
I still got my people at Serious Exam.
And I got the T as the T as as.
the ladies say on the Howard Stern.
I got the tape.
So let's break this down, right?
Out of nowhere, there was a huge rumor that Howard Stern was being fired by Sirius X. Sam.
Oh, my God.
As much as I want that to be true, I also said on these live streams, most likely it's all BS.
Just another BS thing that Howard does.
He likes to, he likes to, he likes to fuck with his own fan base and make them all think that he's going away.
and then at the last minute he signs a giant contract.
He likes his ego being stroked.
So the rumors were out there.
Oh, my God.
Howard's jealous of Call Me Daddy, the Alex Cooper.
Oh, my God.
Howard is jealous of the Andy Cohen, the It Girl at Sirius XM, right?
How does Opie not know call her daddy?
He's just not following this at all.
He never knows anything that's going on in podcasting or his former company or anything.
The one thing he should know about
I don't know
If he's trying to be in the podcasting business
He works for I-Heart
We haven't heard about that in a long time
Yeah
He sounds really out of touch
He's out of touch
But he's got the info
He's gonna spill the tea for us
Not before he drags it out
He's gonna keep dragging it out
Like he does in his next quick
But I also love when I get some insider information
And I talk about it on the show when I do
You know I always do this
Yeah I got some insider information guys
It's on my phone
right here you guys have a phone yeah we all have a phone stop bragging you asshole we know your
insiders like i hope you're waving the text around to people to see on your phone right yeah that's
great i'm gonna keep sending you information if you do that it's great idea um all right so where
we going next yeah he just keeps dragging this out without uh realizing that he uh confesses to
something right here okay he's uh he's announcing that on september 2nd on september 2nd on
September 2nd, when Howard Stern finally returns, the king returns September 2nd.
By the way, he came up with his own nickname.
There's nothing more gross than that.
He came up with the king of all media.
Why are you obsessed with Howard Stern?
Because he's in the news, sir.
He's in the news.
Is that okay with you?
I talk about what's in the news.
So when I talk about Zelensky and Putin later, am I obsessed with Zelensky and Putin?
You idiot!
God, where do these idiots, guys?
come from.
Yeah, the Howard Stern thing is a huge story, and I live stream every morning trying to
talk about current events, pop culture, entertainment, sports, human interests.
So, yeah, yeah, I should avoid the Howard Stern stuff.
So I, so people don't call me obsessed.
I don't like the guy.
And yeah, there's a little jealousy, too.
Oh.
I'm just reporting in the news.
And also I'm super jealous.
I wish people were talking about me in the news that I had contracts looming.
That'd be cool.
Why is he responding to every comment?
I talk about this a lot, but guys who used to be on the radio, which is a one-way form of communication, have a really hard time adapting to the internet, which is a two-way form of communication.
If opiate heard all the things I used to yell at my car when I was listening to the Opion Anthony show, it would be very distracting for him.
The fact that one guy somewhere is saying something, there's absolutely no reason to respond to that.
he doesn't he doesn't know how to change he knows he was isolated maybe aloof maybe not a man
of the people and i'm sure he's heard some criticism now he needs these people to survive so he's
trying to 180 and be like i'm with you good morning jen good morning every single i'm not the
asshole who forgets you i name every single person even when they're actively trying to destroy
my life the answer to that question why are you obsessed with howard stern
or whatever that was.
The answer would just be like, why wouldn't I be?
What do you mean?
I'm Opie from Opie and Anthony.
We were competing morning shows.
And before that, he was the morning guy.
We were the afternoon people.
Like, I think I'm, if anyone should be talking about Howard Stern, it would be me first.
The fact that Opie has to respond to that, just be like, here's my reasoning for it.
The reason is because I do this.
Because I'm talking about that.
It's just like, yeah, of course I'm talking about Howard Stern.
People would definitely come here to see me talk about Howard Stern, especially
Carl from where these podcasts.
This would be the place.
Did he also make fun of Howard for having a nickname?
Yes.
I know.
I picked up on that too.
And the opster has said he wishes he wasn't opie.
But yeah, that's pretty wild.
And Howard makes fun of himself for calling himself the king of all media.
The thing is, is that it caught on.
Yeah.
And that's really the true power of Howard Stern because he was writing books and was on the radio,
I was on television and made a movie.
It's like, he calls him the King of All Media, and people went, yeah, shit.
He was a radio guy, and he's doing all these things now.
Yeah, I guess he is.
And that was part of the joke.
He's a radio guy, King of All Media.
He's reaching.
He's trying to, you know?
Yeah, that was kind of the thing.
But, you know, if I called myself biggest cock in the Dabbleverse, I don't think it would catch on.
We don't need to lie.
We don't need to just outright, be dishonest with people.
That'd be cool.
You know, I would be upset about it.
I'm just saying it probably wouldn't.
We all know it's OJ.
Thank you, OJ.
Thank you, OJ.
Now, I'll be like to talk about how radio people are listening to him from My Heart Radio
and they're in the middle of a big deal that they're negotiating.
I hope they're listening during this next clip because, wow.
Oh, no.
Why wait till September 2nd when you got the info right here?
Because I got my people and they still give a shit about me.
There's a lot of people at Series XM that.
hate the Howard Stern. They hate how Serious XM handles him with a kid gloves. They hate that
management over there at Sirius XM is a bunch of cucks when it comes to Howard Stern. They
built their company on one effing guy. They're trying with some of these other people and
eventually they'll be successful. But they're not, they're not brave enough to tell Howard,
go screw. You don't give us enough content. Why are we giving you all this money? Why are you
waiting till September 2nd to make the big announcement.
Why?
All right.
I feel odd about this, but I think I know more about this than Opie does.
Probably.
And so I talked about this on the show.
I was talking to a guy who was pretty intimate with this Howard deal.
And he was telling me about how, yeah, Howard doesn't make as much money as people
think he does.
And it never was released what the terms were,
Everyone just assumed it was another $100 million a year deal.
The fact that Howard has summers off and as much vacation as he does
is not because management's scared of him.
It's because that was part of a negotiation.
They're like, we can't pay you this much money anymore.
And so Howard's team went, all right, well, then we're going to take more time off.
And they went, okay, we still want Howard Stern on our show or on our platform.
We want to be able to sell that into the car companies who install Sirius XM into the car.
So we need a big name on there.
So we want to have Howard's name.
We can't pay as much, and you can't be on air as much.
We'll give you more time off.
And fucking Opie thinks that management is just intimidated and going,
whatever you say, Howard, okay, to take two months off in the summertime.
That's not what's happening.
That's not how companies work.
I mean, I'm taking crazy pills, Adam?
What's going on right now?
What's he saying?
He goes on this long rant that I didn't even include where he talks about all the other shows
are scared of Howard and they hate working there and they're miserable
because they give everything to Howard and nothing to them.
None of which is true.
People have been there for a long time and they have great relationships with a lot of people.
Your subjective experience, Mr. Opie, is not necessarily everyone else's.
And we know that.
Right.
So, ready for the big reveal?
Here it comes.
All right.
We're finally going to find out what's going on, this insider information.
What's in Opie's phone?
Yeah, show the phone.
Let's get it.
But I got the info right here.
Right here.
He's holding it.
I'm going to read this word for word.
Hi, Ope.
Hi.
Hi, anonymous.
How are you?
He's almost proud to have a friend.
And a phone.
Look, and I got a message that was actually sent to me on purpose.
Howard Stern is going to have a new contract with Sirius.
Oops.
This is the big announcement that Howard's going to make September 2nd.
And to announce that upon, and he's going to announce that upon his return to the airwaves on
September 2nd.
Oops!
So Howard Stern ain't going nowhere.
A source said, wink, wink, I know who the source is, that all the rumors will be addressed
and that he's allowing people to talk and say what they want about him being irrelevant
and that he's losing his job at Sirius X-F.
The source said it's just the beginning of his next chapter.
If people are expecting him to dwindle away, they can think again.
Everyone against Howard right now will have a rude awakening.
It's no rude awakening.
He has pulled his garbage a million times of the past.
His future is locked in and all will be revealed in a few days.
Can you confirm you have heard similar sentiments or care to add comment of your own on the record or on the background?
Thanks, pal.
Oh, oh, my.
Oh, I could be part of it.
giant article. Oh, my. Oh, my! You hear that at the end there? Yeah, what's going on here,
Adam? Because it sounds like there's a reporter fishing for information. And Opie is not understanding
this at all. It sounds to me like a reporter's going, hey, we've heard word that blah, blah, blah,
can you confirm that? Because that's what reporters do in order to get information for people.
Yeah. Yeah. The language used in that was of a reporter.
for sure yeah so so opi says yeah this source told me i'm sure that was a executive at serious or
something like that so he's like oh i know who that is and then he's like yeah this is what they're
saying can you confirm that because what a reporter wants to do is not have a single source of
information he wants to say and greg opi hughes from formerly opi and anthony confirms that
blah blah blah blah blah or people who have similar thinking or similar experiences with the company
confirm that this is what happens, this is what's going on.
Here's what I think.
And I'm putting myself out there.
So if I'm wrong about this, then egg on my face.
I think there's no fucking reason in the world.
Howard would come on September 2nd and announce he has a new contract starting up in 2026.
That would be a horrible idea for him.
He wants to milk this.
Like Opie was just saying, he does this every five years, where he milks this.
I don't know, Robin.
I don't know if they want us here anymore.
I think we can get a better offer somewhere else.
He's constantly, like, stringing people along, and then he resigns.
Why?
If the contract is up at the end of this year, would he, on September 2nd, go on his show and go,
the deal's done, we're going to be here for another five years or whatever.
Doesn't make any fucking sense.
And I'm sorry.
I took over there.
You tell me, what are your thoughts?
That's all of it.
That's pretty much it.
On top of him not realizing that this was some source in radio and journalism that he had that
used to go to him for information, maybe he would go to for info, that he has just completely
burned by, A, not responding, and B, reading all of this smugly on the air for everyone to hear.
Like, all that guy is thinking is, okay, I'm not going to reach out to Opie again for anything
ever.
Yeah, thanks for scooping me, you idiot.
Yeah.
I was asking if you want to participate in this article, and then you just use that to scoop me?
Cool, man, thanks.
And maybe it's not even real.
If it was one or two options, he's going to re-sign or he's not, this is what I might do to find out.
I might go to a party and say, hey, you heard he's resigning?
What'd you hear?
Yeah.
And then if they say, you heard that, where'd you hear that?
Or they go, yeah, yeah, this is what reporters do.
And he's not aware of any of it.
It's just all over his head.
He thinks it's a Christmas gift that was just, like, left for him to hoard over other people and gloat with.
This is hysterical.
This is actually one of the funnier things that Opie has ever done.
he doesn't even realize what he's doing.
And just like Stuttering John's live shows, the chat really and the audience are ruling
this whole thing.
And they step in right here with the best way to switch topics.
A couple wrinkles in the face, couple wrinkles on the shirt.
Oh, the chat from JFK had junk, two bucks.
Did you get that shirt out of the hamper?
So this is, after hope, we just dropped this big news about Howard Stern.
He's the only guy who has the info.
It gets even better.
yeah a couple wrinkles in the face couple wrinkles on the shirt it's all good it's all good
anthony owns you okay thank you sir whatever the fuck that means you weirdo all right let's
get rid of that guy but that's the big news i don't whatever that means i don't even know
think you can laugh that off and also block someone yeah right to one or the other
I don't care about what you have to say, get the fuck out of here and never come back.
It's not a good strategy from my standpoint.
It's a lot of energy for something that he doesn't care at all about.
And I just love how he really feels like he's like moving the audience in this direction.
And they're just like, nope, we're right here.
You're not changing anything.
And not to be outdone with this Burning Bridges thing, he goes on to really hit some stuttering John talking points and placing blame specifically.
for all of his life's and careers disappointments.
Oh, boy.
Oh, my God.
You know, like, there was a time, Opie and Anthony,
where the heir of parents of Howard Stewart,
I know, laugh. Please laugh, because I get it.
I get it.
I see what I'm doing now.
I understand.
But there was a time that we were the heir of parents.
And they don't treat anybody that has talent over there with respect.
They don't take care of their people.
their business philosophy is as simple as this
take care of Howard and no one else fucking matters
and of course they patted that a little bit in recent years
and changed it a little bit and they've given some giant contracts
to a few people over there so I yeah yeah so your point's
completely wrong right because of the caller daddy
and all the other smart list and all the other shows
that they're throwing all this money on O'Brien they're throwing all this money
at but OOPI's experience is that they're giving all the money to Howard
From how many years ago?
How long ago was this?
So he stopped working for Sirius XM in 2018, 2017.
2018 is when he started this podcast.
2017 was his last.
And his big insider connection at Sirius is a reporter fishing for info, and he's gloating about it.
Listen, morbid, you know that podcast?
It's a true crime one.
It's one of the biggest ones in the world.
They just signed to Sirius, like this week.
Yeah.
They are making so much money.
If they didn't offer them a great deal, they wouldn't take it.
They own it.
It's theirs.
If Serious wasn't being really nice to them, they wouldn't go there.
You have no idea what you're talking about, Opie.
They actually spend money like idiots, if you ask me.
A lot of money on names, on proven entities, anything that's been proven.
Before they merged with XM, I remember Howard bitching about the contract with Oprah to have the Oprah channel.
Why they pay all this fucking money to Oprah?
She's not a radio personality.
You get Gail King, though, with that.
Come on. That's awesome.
But this is, so Opie's point is completely pointless.
Given some giant contracts to a few people over there.
So I have to adjust that.
But I could only speak for when we were there.
And we were told we were the second, you know, most popular show.
And they just simply, simply treated us like crap.
And soon as we effed up, they couldn't wait to get rid of us.
And they crushed my career.
So congratulations in Sirius XM on that.
for crushing my career
so you can take care of Howard
and his stupid ego.
They treated him like shit.
They had a channel named after them.
It was the Opium Anthony channel.
Serious X-Ev.
I don't know what he's talking about here.
No matter how bad it was,
I don't think it's as bad
sitting on your porch
railing about
the two big father figures
in your life,
Howard Stern and Anthony.
Because that's all your
talking about in this an hour and a half long street.
And if you saw a picture of yourself doing that, when you were back there, you would do
whatever it took to not end up like this.
Yeah.
The idea that he's blaming other people for his failures in broadcasting shows me that
he's learned nothing.
Of course.
This is a guy claims he went to therapy, claims he's worked on himself.
There was not a therapist in the role that just be like, which is the executive's fault
because
Right.
So you got your camera
and you got into that stall
in the bathroom
and you took a picture
because the powers that be
were what to you?
It's a choice you made
and you really haven't learned anything
because other people
seem to have landed on their feet.
Maybe it took some time
but they did it.
You could maybe follow that path
instead of screaming
into this camera
and just when you think
things can't get any lower
Ron the waiter comes in.
You, we were supposed to
replace Howard at Sirius X-M.
We were going to fill that slot.
What has happened?
All right.
Why don't you relax a little bit, Ronnie?
I've already made some major financial purchases.
Hopefully a mattress.
Hopefully a mattress there, Ronnie.
That's too expensive.
No, I swear to gone.
I thought we were going to slide in.
Yeah, well, you know, I think you need to, I think you need to lower your expectations a little
bit, okay?
A little bit, Ronnie.
Wasn't Opie going to give Ronnie a used mattress at one point?
Yes.
Yep.
He said that a long time ago.
Ryan is always coming in hot.
Whenever Opie brings him on,
whenever Opie was just talking about,
Ronnie's like,
ah,
but that annoying dog in the Hanna-Barbera cartoons.
Just like,
oh, Jesus Christ,
who let this fucking guy in?
I feel like Opie tells him to do it.
He mentions at some point during this stream that he gives,
he has a list.
He assigns him to put a list together of 10 things
that they should talk about,
but they never get to those topics.
Okay.
Because he just likes putting this guy to work.
And Ron points out that Opie is wearing a collared shirt, which is rare and new for him.
That's true.
And Opie has a good reason why he's cleaning up.
That actually is probably a very expensive shirt.
Those are those like Hampton Fire Island shirts.
That little wrinkly fucking shirt probably costs $75.
That's a big shirt.
shirt. It matches your hair. It matches your skin tone. I got people around me and they're like,
hey, oh, you know, we're trying, we're trying to, we're trying to, like, help you out and maybe
get you to the next level. Can you clean up a little bit? I'm like, ah, God, all right. So,
so I got a wrinkled collared shirt on today. And, uh, you know, two days in a row, I put shampoo
in my hair.
yeah he always says the quiet part out loud yeah you wash his hair two days in a row
because the powers that be this fake agent that he has it's just like dude we can't land you a gig
you look like shit yeah Ron's doing great can you clean yourself up a little
I also I'm gonna be a douche again but 75 dollars for a shirt is
that's probably a really expensive shirt like I don't know 75 dollars like
Just say 100.
I mean, come on, man.
He's so poor of this guy.
And so which one is it?
Is it the powers that be that ruined his career and left him destitute and in this situation?
Or is it as he describes?
It's a choice that he's making.
You know, they want him to clean up and do a proper show, but he's just a punk bad boy.
You can't tell him what to do.
You might think this is something that happened to him and he's a victim because he just said it.
But actually, it's what he's saying now.
It's a choice, man.
I could turn it on if I want it to.
Opie, can you wash your hair and wear a color shirt?
Oh, geez, I guess.
Two days in a row.
Chris, do you remember that voice that used to be on his other radio show where the It's Opie Radio podcast?
I sure do, yeah.
It's like he's doing an impression of that guy's voice.
Opie Radio.
Yeah.
It's like he's stuck in somewhere between that and Ron.
I don't know why he's talking like that.
But as he's made clear, if there's anything that Opie knows well, it's how.
Howard Stern, and it's Anthony Coomia.
Hold on. I'm going to address something here.
O.B.H. Trump, because Anthony likes him.
Okay, listen to me.
There's no way. I'm telling you right now, I don't keep tabs on Anthony.
I don't watch his shit at all. I don't listen to him on his little radio show on the weekends.
But there's no effing way that Anthony likes Trump.
There's a zero, a zero chance.
Because Trump used to call our show all the time.
There's actual proof of this.
and we thought he did great radio,
but we also thought he was full of shit back in the day.
So there's no way that Anthony would turn
and all sudden, you know, lap up to Trump.
There's no effing way.
I saw Anthony in the chat earlier.
Is this true, Anthony, you don't like Trump
because of private conversations you had with Opie
after he would call into the show?
I hope he would know.
I don't really need confirmation on that from anyone.
I think he could know the guy.
There he is, Anthony.
Ha, ha, ha, I love Trump.
I knew he'd be here for us.
What the fuck is he talking about?
Obie knows everything about this guy he hasn't talked to seriously in 10 years.
Okay.
And that he doesn't care about.
Right.
That makes sense.
But if you're doubting his credentials.
Yeah.
No, you should hear right here, he offers up his, he explains the new geopolitical landscape.
Okay.
So don't doubt.
I said this yesterday.
I'm an old school American, Ron.
Are you an old school American or a new school American?
I don't even know what the fuck the difference is.
What's that mean?
I'll tell you what the difference is.
All right, go ahead.
Old school Americans like myself, you've got to be a little older for this, right?
We are against Russia and Putin.
New school Americans are for Putin and Russia.
That's it.
That's it.
What?
Are you too slow to understand that?
You don't get that.
I am.
I'm not following this at all.
That's it. That's how we vote.
It's just that one foreign policy issue, and we're done.
I did write in Putin when I voted for the president last time.
I thought he was my writing candidate.
What does Ron say after this?
Oh.
So stupid.
These guys are fucking idiots.
You spoke too soon because right here in this next clip,
Opie has a brilliant moment of clarity.
Huh?
If we were on Sirius X-N, we could talk about all that, right?
Oh, my God, of course.
All right, so let's go.
Get Howard out.
I thought we were in.
Dude, I just trashed the management of serious X-M.
You think my phone's going to ring today?
Once again.
Do you understand I'm the problem, Ron?
I know.
You're going to sell yourself sabotaging yourself.
Yeah, when are you going to figure it out?
You need to get therapy, man.
I've done therapy.
Get your money back.
I've done therapy, but this is the fun stuff when you go,
I screw it.
The management over there did suck
And yes, I'd burn all the bridges
And yes, I'm fucking the problem
Yes, yes, and yes
Yep
Wow
It all came out
All of a sudden
And that was interesting
It's amazing
What's amazing
It's not that he said that
What's amazing is that
If I were to chat in $50
Hey man, did you ever think
That sometimes you get in your own way
And you're the problem
How do you think he'd respond
Chris?
Block!
Yep
I'll take you $50 and you're blocked.
Yeah.
And a long monologue as to why I'm full of shit
and I've no idea what I'm talking about.
But go back to explaining Ant's politics to us
because we need your help with that.
Yes, he's got it all figured out.
I love that.
I did therapy.
I'm all fixed now.
I'm done.
I got my degree.
I graduated therapy.
Yeah, I won.
Now, what's interesting is what you guys were talking about on Saturday
because I'm curious to see how he's going to own this.
which is he is very clearly Opie buying views,
but I don't know if Ron is quite aware of how that works.
So he's so excited about the new numbers.
Yeah.
Just look at something, Ron.
How do we do today?
I don't know.
The numbers are big.
Listen, when you bring in the big dog, we talk thousands.
Oh, damn.
That's a number.
That's what I'm saying.
When you bring in the big dog, that's a number.
What is it?
I can't see it.
We've had about 16,000 people.
People check out this live street today, Ryan.
I just want to say something to you.
Yesterday with yesterday without the big dog Ronnie, you had 10,000 views.
Already we got 16,000.
We're not even fucking finished.
No, we're, we're just about, we're just about finished.
This is crazy.
And as you alluded to, Adam, if you become a member on Patreon or YouTube, you can see the full
episode we did with Anthony on Saturday, where a viewer sent in proof that Opie is buying
views. We had all the data. He connected all the data points. We showed it on the screen.
Opie is definitely buying views. He went from 300 people watching total after the show has been
posted and been up for a little while to now there's 16,000 people. Is that what he just said?
Yeah. And now it's possible that someone's buying views for him. I've seen that happen to other
channels where people will fuck with someone and buy views for them and it's possible it has to do
with the big dog it's definitely not that's not possible it's not because we're on the way now it's
there that's that's the least possible thing going out here it's it's um it's really um sad because
it's like old man stuff where they think they know the internet but young people know it better like
young people see it very clearly they don't need you're not fooling
anybody. Opie, if this hour and a half has 16, 17,000 views, but the clip isolated just about
you announcing the Howard Stern info has 500 views, we know something's up and it's not real.
And I hope, I pray he's buying it and knows because if he finds out this isn't real,
he's going to be devastated.
Yeah, you're right. That would be a bummer because he thinks he's caught on to something.
He's gone to this vertical video format too, which I find obnoxious.
that's not helping anything
but I think he
maybe he's pretending
that's why he's getting
all these views now
like YouTube is rewarding him
to be phone friendly
oh
in case you didn't know
I have a phone
you phone friendly
show off
yeah I know
it's pretty impressive
the way you were holding it
was so cool
I wish I could watch the show
like that
that would be
yeah because you imagine
watching
I'll bet that's full of tea
I'm going to spill it later on
stick around for that
all right
this is where things get
fucking crazy
yes this is where
Ron starts spilling information about his life.
Now, Opie could care less about it.
Opie is not a friend.
He does not give a shit.
But Ron is going to start telling you things that I'm shocked that he's spilling this
information about his personal life.
Any other way to set this up or should we just get into it?
No, that's it.
Perfect.
I have, well, I mean, you must know.
I haven't spoken to my mother.
And how long has it been?
Four or five years, Stephen?
I don't know.
I haven't spoken.
to my mother in years
because she's the fucking whack job
and I haven't really
spoken or seen my
family in probably
two, three years
because
they're just fucking, you know,
they don't, you know, when your family
doesn't treat you with respect, the
healthiest thing to do is just take yourself out of the
situation. I couldn't agree more.
You know, there are people that say life is
too short and all that, but
I haven't talked to my mom in
about six or seven years.
And I had to put up extreme boundaries.
And when you talk about this stuff, honestly,
you realize there's so many people out there
that can relate to this shit.
There are people that are supposed to be the closest to you
that's right.
That fuck you up the most.
And it gets to a point where you have to put up
a major fucking wall,
a major boundary,
and you've got to move on.
It's not easy.
It kind of sucks.
But it's the best thing to do.
And that's what I,
I chose to do about six or seven years ago.
Yeah.
So you and I have several things in common.
Our mothers are still alive and we don't speak to them.
And we got that virgin thing going for us.
Is Rod the waiter a virgin?
We learn now.
I think he is.
Yeah.
Why would that be his go-to thing that he said?
It was very weird.
That was odd that he's like, ah, it's something we have in common.
Never seen a vagina before.
To further that argument, I don't know.
if you caught really in the beginning of that clip he turned he was like is that right stephen yeah to his
roommate stephen oh now we've seen his house yeah the mattress i know it's not great it's very
small i never occurred to me that there was also a roommate yeah in there i think i knew that it's not
great so just for the record i reached out to him and i told him i would buy him a mattress just give me
your address really liked it and he followed me back and he did not ask for the mattress but i told
I would just buy him one that I didn't think it was cool.
And this was so long ago, so to turn into this stream and to have Opie still talking about
sending him that mattress was like heartbreaking.
He's not kidding.
It's not a bit, Ron.
Adam, you were going to buy him a new mattress, not just give him like an old one they don't use
anymore?
Well, I didn't tell him exactly.
I just said it would be different.
We'd send him something.
That's what I said.
It would be better than what he had.
I can't think of anything worse than used mattresses.
We were on point-dabble point.
We were watching Joey C.
He bought a storage shed.
someone abandoned
and the first thing in there
why would you buy an abandoned one
well whatever and the first thing
in there is a mattress I'm like
the fuck what's a used mattress
it's the grossest thing I've ever heard of
yeah and then you remembered Ron
and then I thought of my buddy Ron
who could use any mattress
because this is totally disgusting
all right so you just saw there that Ron's trying to open up
I don't talk to my mom anymore
I've shut out members of my family
Opie makes it about him immediately
so Ron's gonna take another stab
but like making it about him for a minute
so maybe he could discuss
what's going on with his family dynamic.
And then her husband said to me,
so what are you going to be?
Like a waiter or the rest of your life?
It looks like this acting thing's not going to work out.
So what are you just going to be a waiter?
It's like, maybe he should do something else.
Oh, so you had jealous relatives, too.
Jealous?
You don't have weddings and weddings.
Okay, I hope he's going to make this about him,
but I have to pause it right here.
Oh, you had jealous relatives too.
No, they're taunting him for being a loser.
Yeah, they're roasting him to his face.
Right.
There isn't a homeless guy in Manhattan who's jealous of Rob the waiter's lifestyle.
What's he talking about?
Okay, moving on.
I had an aunt.
Hey, hey, Mr. DJ, why don't you go up there and show him how it's done?
Yeah, exactly.
That's right.
Eh.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah, fucking dehumanized me in front of the entire family.
The biggest radio shows in America.
But yeah, I should go up there and show the fucking wedding DJ how it's done.
And then she was looking around like this.
So Opie again made that all about him.
Yep, every time.
I was trying to open up about something that's going on with this family dynamic and what's going on with him.
I hope he's uncomfortable.
He doesn't want to talk about what a loser Ron is.
That's the sense I'm getting.
He's just like, dude, if you go too far with this, I'm going to start feeling bad for you.
and the audience is going to feel bad for you, please stop.
He also doesn't like being lumped in with Ron,
and Ron's like, oh, that's someone we have in common too.
Yeah, he's like, no, no, no, no, no.
And he keeps looking to the left and looking to the right,
hoping nobody heard this.
He's got his own Steve in there.
He's like, huh?
Are you ready for the big reveal?
Yeah, this might get a little convoluted,
but if you stick with it, it's really worth it.
It really is.
And, you know, Adam found these clips,
and I was pulling them today,
and I was flabbergasted,
a word I don't use very often on this show.
Yeah, but I was flabbergasted by this shit.
I would call this clip, if you like Rob Saul, then you'll love.
Oh, no.
So, like, I have nobody else.
Right.
And literally, the only people I have are fucking literally shitting on me.
Right.
And I just kept my mouth shut.
And it was for her mother's, my father's sister.
It was the 80th birthday of Tova's mother, Lois, my father's sister.
Dude, you lost me a long fucking time ago.
What does this have to do with Thanksgiving?
Like, what is going on?
Why did I ask you this?
What's the question.
So I was there three years ago for her 80th birthday.
And it was the trip was so bad.
Thank you for getting back on track, Stephen King.
Thank you.
So I didn't speak.
So after that, I just cut them off.
I literally blocked them.
I'll be showing a chat right now that just says Z's going to
crossed so he's just he's paying no mind to his friend who's trying to spill his guts about
something real in his life but let's find out of this all right all right so all right i got it
long story short on thanksgiving she took her life what wait what who your cousin my father's sister
oh your father's sister lowest berman told his mother right three years ago
out of spite
took her own life on Thanksgiving
just to fuck with everybody
just to fuck with everybody
just so everyone else
would not have a good time
all right it did take him a while to get there
but
that's interesting
yeah
that sounds like something you might want to explore
a little bit with your buddy Ron
yeah
it seems like Ron needs someone to talk to
and you can maybe listen to him
instead of trying to one up him
in this like Olympic
of horror.
Yeah, yeah.
So let's see how Opie respond to that tragic story that he just heard.
I would imagine, like, a true friend, like, oh, shit, I didn't know you're going through that,
buddy.
I'm here for you.
I was going to say that's insanely selfish.
And now, you know, Ron, I get mad at your past.
I get mad at your dad for allowing you to live in the attic with the stepmom because she didn't
want you in the regular house.
That pisses me the fuck off when you were again.
And now this pisses me off.
I'm breaking fucking character right now, Ron.
That's, yeah.
That is insanely selfish.
Okay.
Wow.
Thanks for that, Opie.
I'm glad you're angry on my behalf.
He let him know how it made him feel.
Yeah.
Cool.
And then talked over him to say that.
Do you understand that all of these things that Ron's saying about being
emasculated and humiliated and condescended to, he's talking to you,
all these people that he needs.
to put up boundaries with and that put him down and goes too far.
That's you.
And you just keep doubling down on everything he's saying and not realizing it.
Yeah, he's absorbing the information that's coming to him at all.
No, he's competing with him and embarrassed for him.
Yep.
That's what he's doing.
And looking to see his neighbors don't hear this guy's tale of woe so he can share his.
You know, he is the neighborhood hero.
Right.
And now, Ron really takes it a step further if you thought that was.
bad it just gets even worse then she said at the table she never once said i'm sorry ronnie your
father she all she said was fuck him he was a piece of shit i don't give a fuck
she made it about her and she said he was the worst brother i ever had in my life i'm glad
he's fucking dead he sexually molested me i'm like this is all happening when my father died
Not once like, Ronnie, I'm so sorry.
Right.
Oh, my God.
Right.
Fuck him.
Your father was a piece of shit.
Right.
Now, you're speaking.
There's a ton of people that have been checking this out today.
You're speaking their language.
We all have someone in our family like that.
Opie is in radio mode.
Ron just said, my dad passed away, and his sister told me that he sexually molested her growing up.
That's fantastic.
Do you have any dates you want to plug?
Where are you going to be?
And Opie goes, let's go to the phone lines.
Who else had their dad belus their aunts?
What's talking about?
Sherry was got stories like this, right?
That's fucking crazy.
I know.
What's wrong with this idiot?
Ron's just looking for a human being to talk to it.
And Opie's like, nope, not me.
Find somebody else.
He said, you're speaking their language.
You're speaking their language.
What?
When he said, dad died and the aunt says, yeah, he sexually molested me.
I went, whoa, that's a record scratch moment.
bit. And O'Pee just plows right through. Like, yeah, man, everyone's got problems. Moving on.
What? All right. Maybe everyone's had this experience. It's just me.
I hope not. I really hope not. I hope this isn't the regular two for Tuesday bit.
Because Opie, you know, you think it's Ron that's dragging things down, but it's really
Opie because after all of this that goes on for a very long time about all these horrible family
things that have happened to him, he explains that.
So Thanksgiving's coming back.
He called this relative that he doesn't speak to, that he's completely ghosted for years,
and he basically talks to them enough that they're like,
well, you want to come to Thanksgiving this year?
Nice.
And he is considering the invite.
Let's see how this goes.
If you're not going to come up, the way she said it too, is like, hey, if you're not going to come up for the summer,
at least come up for Thanksgiving, just like that.
And I was like, man, that's pretty good.
And right to the point.
All right.
So I said, fuck it.
I will see you in November.
All right.
And then she responded with, don't say it and not do it.
Like, if you're going to do it, like, this would be like, you don't understand how excited
this makes me, how happy this makes me.
The girls will be excited.
Please don't make a promise and not come up.
I said, I will be there 100%.
And she said, you've made my fucking day.
The girl's going to go.
So, right, I'm going back.
All right.
I mean, it's a great story to end this, but God, a little fucking wordy, don't you think?
It's a little wordy.
I'd be honest with you.
You can edit it later, okay.
I decided to see how you do without me fucking interrupting and crafting this into something.
Yeah.
What a piece of shit.
By the way, doggy's in the background.
I'm very excited about that.
I thought we lost doggy.
So that's the good dude.
That is the original doggy.
Who knows?
We don't know.
We don't know.
Wow.
After all of that, he goes, and it's come 360.
I'm going to go back and celebrate.
Thanksgiving, after all this trauma we've been through as a family and going through all this shit.
Nobody goes, the story's taking way too long.
I can't have it.
I'm the only one directing you correctly.
I need to be directing you at all times.
He hates when it gets real negative.
He hates when it gets positive.
He just hates anything and everything.
And all Ron wants is a friend to validate him.
And Opie will not do it.
And if you watch Opie, when Ron is telling him this kind of positive ending, he looks exactly like Brendan Schaub when Brian
Kaelim is trying to explain to him something he just asked.
Like, he can't hear it.
He's not listening.
He's just waiting for the guy to stop because he is not comfortable with this guy being
happy and having relationships fixed or some kind of future.
He needs this guy to be beneath him.
And it shows you just how low Opie feels.
If that's not low enough for him, he has to keep pushing it down.
So after all that, when given the chance to finally, like, reciprocate with something,
here's what Opie offers him.
is that white your mother was a narcissist um yeah sure i well i yeah sure she had all sort
she had a lot of issues yeah i try to remember the good i mean she also had a lot of great
qualities but that makes for boring radio listen to me i would invite you over for thanksgiving
but no i i well go ahead we made a rule that we don't have uh we don't allow red dots in
our house so what does that mean
I'm not Indian
What does that mean?
Huh?
I'm not Indian.
What does that mean, red dots?
Oh, you've never checked the app, have you?
Do you get it?
I honestly don't.
What is he talking about?
Do you want to guess?
I mean, I would guess it's like the neighborhood that he lives in.
Yeah.
So Opie is saying like, these are the neighborhoods where I don't want to have any friends.
He's saying you're a six predator and you have a red dot in that app.
Oh, shit.
Oh, that's what he said.
Oh, okay.
Yeah.
I didn't pick up on that.
That's the joke.
Wow.
Okay.
That got real dark.
So after Ron is obviously given all this family secrets and all this information.
Opie's talked about his mom at length on the Opian Anthony show and beyond.
And he goes, what about your mom?
Like she is a narcissist, right?
He's like, I don't know.
She's like, she's all right.
Thanks, man.
All right.
It's the first time I've ever heard him say something nice about his mom when his friend's trying to relate to him in some way.
he's basically saying like we're not friends at this level i'm not talking to you about this
i don't know why you talk to me about this stuff because this is not our friendship yeah because
when i do it it's a bit you're just a sad guy who lives with a roommate when i do it i'm just
joking for radio that's what he implied so the next time he asked for sympathy on that i can't
wait to jump in the chat and remind him that it's all just a bit right we have one more clip
this is my favorite one thank you for uh bearing with all
of this. I know it's a lot, but I think it's very, very satisfying when we finally get to this
last moment where Opie is pretending. He's, like, cosplaying as this coach who's giving Ron life
lessons. Ron does it and return, and we'll see how he handles it. You can't let these people
win, bro. I know. You got to go there and have the best Thanksgiving of your life. Why are you
sitting alone on Thanksgiving? I know. This fucking lady try to ruin a holiday for everybody.
Well, and also, we don't allow the healing, man.
We've got to allow healing.
I understand.
And by the way, she did say to me, like, you know, Ron, like, you just cutting me off and blah, blah, blah, is like, it's a form of cruelty.
And it is.
It is.
That's a form of cruelty as well.
So I'm definitely remorse.
You know, when someone's trying to reach out to and you're like, you don't respond, that's hurtful.
Sure.
That's cruel.
And I'm not, I'm not proud of that.
All right, Ron.
We got to go.
What an asshole.
He's exhausted by this guy.
Could it be Opie that maybe the people that you've pushed aside and ghost and don't talk to?
Maybe there's another way of going about it with this holiday season coming up.
Yeah, okay, goodbye.
whatever I don't want to deal with this right now I've already done therapy I told you
that we're not doing this yeah I aced that I got a great grade why are we still talking about
this brilliant segment that was like two different parts to OPI so much going on right there
thank you Adam all right at this time I want to bring on our review girls of course we have
patiently waiting backstage Annie is here oh hello and Megan is here as well what's up
Megan.
Hello, hello.
Good to see you.
Now, it's been a while since we've poked a dabbler.
We've been playing two minutes with Tom for a while, but, you know, with the lawsuit,
oh, you guys haven't heard about that?
With the lawsuit that's going on, Cardiff thought that it was necessary to bring back
the Stuttering John game, and I agreed with him.
So let's all get ready to play to poke a dabbler.
It's time for the return of everyone's favorite.
game show
to poke
a dabbler
what do you say
Carl
and co-hosts
not including
Adam Bush
are you ready
to poke
a dabbler
I think so
I talked to my attorney yesterday
he called me
he said
John
don't talk about this lawsuit
with this corporation
it you know
it's best you don't say anything so i'm not going to say anything he said we are going full steam ahead
and this will happen and i will go on shows eventually when the lawsuit is announced and i have
proof of all the information including the perpetrator and you know everything just trust me everything
So that'll happen soon, but it doesn't want me to talk about any details in the lawsuit right now.
So I'm not going to go on any shows right now.
I'm waiting until the lawsuit is filed, and then he said then we'll readdress if you want to go public with it, but it will be for a large amount of money.
and also what did john say next here are your choices number one to get traction
b i want an apology for the lies and slander next maybe even his house
For
To cease and desist
All defamatory activities
And lastly
To protect the LGBT
Community
To poke
A dabbler
This is a tough one
I don't even know what you lost it
He's talking about on this
And I'm a historian of Suttery John
It doesn't really matter
I can't tell by his hand sores
What era of John
It says
Yeah or his hand sores
All right.
I always go first in this game.
So I'm going to say that it is four to cease and assist all defamatory activities.
I don't know why I think that.
In fact, I already doubt myself.
What do you say, Adam Bush?
It does sound like his kind of wording, though.
I get that.
Maybe even his house.
I'll just go with that.
All right.
I like that one.
Annie?
I'm also going with next.
Maybe the house.
Megan, what do you think?
I was thinking four also.
because it seems safe.
Okay.
Producer Chris?
I went with the house.
Wow.
We got all of our eggs
in two baskets.
Yep.
God damn, you, Cardiff.
Let's see.
So I'm not going to go on any shows right now.
I'm waiting until
the lawsuit is filed.
And then he said then we'll re-address
if you want to go public with it.
But it will be for
a large amount of money
and also
to protect the LGBTQ community.
No, fucking way!
That was the one I thought
definitely couldn't be it.
Oh no.
Holy shit.
Oh, wow.
There was a laughing potato out there.
I knew that was there for a reason.
God damn.
So that wasn't any of the lawsuits I was thinking of
I was on.
Holy shit.
But it was the correct sore on his hand.
We got that right.
To protect the
LGBTQ community and
the African-American community.
Oh, whoa.
The transgender community.
I mean, the amount of
the people in your neighborhood.
How does a lawsuit do any of these things?
Holy shit.
It's going.
Because it'll put you in prison, and then you can never make fun of these people again.
This can't be about me, Eddie.
I'm not the one harming trans people.
I mean, I say mean things to you offline, but other than that.
Yeah, but the blacks are pissed.
You know, and I see, I always talked much, but we have screenshots of all this shit.
Everything.
And if I can scrub all you want, we have everything.
That's all for this time.
Come back next time to find out of you.
Wow.
man enough.
I'm not to poke.
A dabbler.
Sit, Eugene, sit.
Good dog.
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do.
Well played.
My potato friend, well played.
All right.
And now I feel bad.
You know, I feel defeated.
Come on, let's get gay.
I feel like when Aaron Imel doesn't get the goal,
even though we had a really good show,
and I'm like, I had a great show,
but I couldn't poke a dabbler.
It's been a perfect week.
It's been a perfect week until this.
It couldn't poke a dabbler.
But the good news is we all get to redeem ourselves in a game that I suck at called Is It Gay?
And Megan, you run this show.
This is where we watch Aaron Imholt set something up, set up a premise.
And then we find out whether he thinks it's gay or not,
because Aaron has zero comedic talent or crew.
creativity and so everything is just gay well not everything is we're going to find out
some things are other things so we're going to start with round one and Megan again
I'm going to let you like you choose who to answer but mix it up all right I'll mix it up
am I working you too hard just the lip okay uh let's go to hobo chili recipe says
Aaron, do you walk around the Renaissance Festival with that stupid fucking Crusader's
outfit and a bag of wine?
Let me just say this.
I would never walk around a Renaissance festival with a bag of wine.
All right, Carl, is walking around a Renaissance festival.
First of all, I've never heard it called a Renaissance Festival.
It's a Renfair.
Yeah, it's a fair, right.
So that was one thing I was having a problem with, but is,
carrying a bag of wine at a rent-fair gay.
Who taught you to be so nitpicky?
Oh, you watch the show.
Yes, I think definitely that's the definition of gay for Aaron.
I would think so.
What do you think, Adam?
I don't see him having another word to describe something like that he doesn't like.
Chris.
Gay.
Annie.
It has to be gay.
Otherwise, it's lame, but I'm locking in gay.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Could be lame.
Let's see.
I would never do that.
Dude, that's so gay.
Yes.
To walk around the Renaissance festival with a bag of wine.
I already feel better.
You see how quickly this happens?
I feel like Aaron.
You have to have a horn, though, at a rent fair to drink out of.
Yes, not a bag.
That's cool.
Why?
Is that what you do?
I've been to those things and people care.
the horns with them and they filled them up with mead and they drink out of them.
Oh, you're pretending you're not that person. I like that. That was a good move right there.
I've seen other people do that, Carl. Horns are cooler. Not me. All right. We all got a point.
Round two. Anoyed Wawa supervisor says, breaking news, local overnight jock Aaron Imholt supports breast
complacency in central Minnesota, saying they are, quote, fine.
There you go.
that is the weird we got a lot of well but the thing is there's a lot of fat tits around here
that's what i think skews people people don't understand there's two times there's quality
tits and there's fat tits you can have it sorry that cracked me up all right chris are fat tits
gay there are other types of tits johnny but anyway no no no there's two there's just
two that's it i've seen sharks that tell me there's a lot other kinds but i what do i know i'm so
confused, I'm going to go not gay.
What do you think, Annie?
Not gay.
Carl.
It's gay.
Adam.
I'm going to go not gay with this one.
I can get a point.
Anyone who's got just big old.
Fat tits are gay.
Fat tits are not okay.
I will take moderately sized tits.
Sorry, guys.
Over fat tits.
I don't know how that's gay.
but I apologize.
I saw Melton play that clip on his show yesterday.
So I got to do that one.
You son of a bitch.
And I have the lead now.
Yeah.
Cheating to win.
That's the motto on this show.
But all right.
Let's round three.
I'm up two to one to one to one.
Vikings male cheerleader.
They showed his first like performance.
It was on Twitter.
And I hope I can find it again.
Well, I mean, I shouldn't.
say that. Okay, I hope I
can find that male cheerleader dance.
It's so uncomfortable
because like
we were like it was a pretty big topic
of conversation at the party when
the guys were watching the Vikings game.
And we all kind of said the same thing.
The cheerleaders that throw
the women up into the air and do that
whatever, right?
All right. So we have male cheerleaders
now in the NFL
dancing with the women.
So does Aaron think that's gay?
Adam?
Did he just say the guys were watching the Vikings?
Is he not one of those guys?
Who is he in that mix?
Him and his boys.
They're all watching preseason Vikings games.
You know, there's we at Steeltoe.
Right.
So, you know.
The whole corporate team.
Right.
After there.
It could have been just him sitting by himself watching.
And, you know, he's with the guy.
No, Slambees was there, right?
Gordy was there.
He's planning the next
Renaissance convention.
Convention.
All right, just get to the fucking point, Anna.
It's got to be gay, right?
It has to be, unless he doesn't know what this word means,
which I think is what we've learned.
It's gay.
Chris?
I'm going not gay.
It's just too obviously gay.
Carl?
Yeah, I think it's a misdirect.
I'm going to go not gay as well.
What about you, Annie?
I think it's not gay
Okay
And I'll point out that if this is not gay
Megan's doing a bang-up job
Finding these claims
You know what I mean
Like this is a pretty crazy thing
Let's find out
That's fine
They're acceptable
It's so gay
I think I'll credit
That one Adam just tied it up
Yeah yeah yeah
He was right
It just seemed too easy
The false hope of it being fine
And then it being gay too
I know
This game has a lot of
It's like an emotional roller coaster for me.
Is gay porn gay?
I'm going to go with gay.
All right.
It doesn't seem gay to me.
You asking that seems to look gay.
Round four.
A little tough.
All right.
Nope, we're good.
I don't get naked to urinate.
No, but like I said.
Although somebody did just write his shirts on backwards.
And I did grab it.
I'm like, what?
I didn't take my shirt off.
Once you know, once you know what happens when certain things happen, now we play look for the signs.
Like I was about to say, did you just, did you put an extra button up on the shirt?
I thought we were on button by two.
I was not.
I always button the bottom button.
Is taking your clothes off to go to the bathroom gay?
Annie.
Yeah, but he says no.
It's not gay.
Carl
I'm going to say he doesn't think it's gay
But I'm with Annie on this one
I'm going to also say no
Adam
Well I mean not the way I do it
I'm sure the way he does it is gay
But when I do it
It's cool
I'm gonna say it's not gay
I'm going gay
I want a point
It's like butter's with his pants
All the way down to his hair
At the urinal
New South Park tonight
Yeah
Check it out
Finally
All right
He's buttoned the bottom one.
See, I don't like that I'm being that hypervigilant.
I don't like that.
Yeah, it is.
No, it's very gay.
It's totally gay.
I know it's gay.
It bothers me.
It bothers me.
It bothers me deeply.
You know, there was a misdirect there, Megan.
I'm going to call you out of this.
It was him paying attention to what Aaron's clothing looked like that was gay.
It wasn't taking your clothes off to use the bathroom.
You can't take this victory away from me.
I'll have to write some notes next time as to what exactly.
When they, when I've been watching these clips, the way that he talks, it's like three different things coming out of his mouth at once.
There's all these thoughts going through his head and they just kind of all spill out together.
It's almost like it's not cohesive and he doesn't want a show very well.
Yeah.
I've noticed that as well.
It's been a little bit of a challenge, but.
Well, you're doing a great job.
I didn't mean to criticize you in front of everyone.
what's the score what we got here it's round five we are coming up yeah so it's a three-way tie
only annie is lacking oh and you're not in our three-way i'm sorry it's disappointing all right
round five let's go it's a way better name i think people remember it that way i think most i think a lot
of people still call them that i think a lot of people still slip up a lot and they go oh yeah
we're playing the Redskin
fucking Commanders
But it wasn't really
The craziest part about it was
It was never
The Native American communities
That were mad about it
It
O'9 Canyon says
The Redskins logo wasn't cartoonish at all
It looked good
But I mean you still got the Black Hawks
You still got the Braves
Uh, the Indians became the guardians and that.
Oh, I wasn't positive time it sounds like.
All right.
Again, there's a lot of thoughts going, coming out of his mouth.
And Megan's like, oh, shit.
I don't remember what he's calling gay.
Are, in a nutshell, are going from the Indians to guardians.
Is that gay?
Chris?
Oh.
No.
Carl.
I think everything's gay in this route.
Everything's been gay so far.
I'm going gay.
I'm seeing the trend.
Adam.
I mean, either way, I think the Native American people are so proud and happy to have Aaron representing them on this.
Having him on those front lines for them.
It just like feels right.
I'm going to say not gay.
Annie.
Not gay.
Oh, so I'm alone on this one.
I can take the lead.
The guardians and that's named after their.
fucking bridge, which is gay.
Yes!
Oh my God.
Yes!
It's fucking victory.
My first time, I believe, winning this game.
Which is gay.
No, it's actually the strangest thing I've ever done,
winning this game.
Holy shit.
Well, do you want to play the bonus just for S's and Gs?
Mm-hmm.
There's always a round six on here, and I just,
I'd hate to leave it off.
I try to make the bonus a little funnier, so.
Okay.
All right, good.
So I was going to say, I could leave this for the next time.
You don't do as much work, but I'm like,
Like, nah, let's just play.
Let's just burn it.
Burn it right now for the people playing at home.
Atomic Ray says PS5 owners save their drink bottles for piss chugs.
Yeah, Mr. Imus and I are in perfect.
We are in perfect harmony on this.
Adults who play video games are the problem in this country.
Lazy losers living in fantasy world.
Right.
It's like people who do nothing all day but watch drama podcasts and then write about it.
All right.
From video game losers to people who listen to drama podcasts, again, okay, are listening to Drama Podcasts gay?
And then writing about it.
And then writing about it.
Right. Yeah. I assume he's talking about Reddit.
Adam.
He's wearing headphones and glasses staring into a screen for hours in his basement all day long.
and he's going to judge people that play video games
and think he's better than them
it is it is many many horrible things welcome to erid's world yes
I play video games
that's what I'm saying right you're all the same thing
you're looking at a screen with your headphones on isolated in a basement
it's fine you can do great things you could do waste your time
either way none of it's gay that's what I'm saying
all right what do you think Carl
I'm going to go with gay
Annie
I think it's gay
Chris
gay
I don't want your support
I don't need your support
it's crazy to me
oh shit that was the misdirect
all right well
I said crazy
I think
Adam just tied me up
I should not have gone to that
that is true
that's not great for me
I was celebrating a victory over here
And now we've lost the entire show just because of that.
So disappointing.
Do we have any new comments on Spotify, Megan, that you can read for us?
Because on Spotify now, you can comment on individual episodes.
People are taking advantage of that for some reason.
So what's going on over there?
We have three comments from last week's episode 647.
We have one from Patrick Hopt.
For the
Is It Gay Game
Slash segment
Please do Owen Benjamin
Everything is gay to him
And he convinces
Slash justifies
Baths over showers
Take any subject
Both sides are gay
Or not
It's entertaining
All right
Good suggestion
We don't really cover Owen Benjamin
on the show
But take that into account
We have one from
Gerund 32
two. Great show. Still not long enough. That's what she said. Seriously, though, great show.
God, these shows have been going on way too long, in my opinion. But thank you very much. I appreciate it.
And then from the great sea moose, I love my best friend in the whole world, Adam Bush.
I love you, too.
It's getting parisocial over there on Spotify. That's fun.
This is real. Don't ruin it for me.
Bad could happen from having parasocial relations with people.
It's just two men falling in love in real life.
What's the problem?
Yeah, you might get pants in the mail, so watch out for that.
Oh, you're right.
God, do we have any new reviews coming in?
Yeah, I have a couple from Apple Podcasts.
That's where most of them come in.
Nice.
The first one comes in from Bingus Mingus.
They say, I was hoping for a podcast version of Cinemisans except good.
And instead, it was a podcast version of Cinemisans, except somehow worse.
Can you translate that for me?
Uh, CinemaSense is a YouTube channel that just like nitpicks on things like, oh, in this scene, you, you said, oh, you should take a look at this and you used a trope.
So now you lose a point.
And they just like, it just become formulaic and boring and they just do the same thing over and over.
Sounds like a one-star review.
Yeah, they didn't, they don't know.
Okay, they didn't care for it.
Well, thank you, though.
Thanks for participating.
Well, more specifically, they don't want to show.
They might be fine with you.
The second one says, needs chapters.
Go podcasting from Randall.
Yeah, they do offer that.
I use megaphone to post my podcast, the audio version, everywhere.
And they do offer chapters now.
So I could do that.
We should do it.
You think we should?
Yeah, yeah.
Mike does it.
It's great.
It's really helpful.
They're doing it in the chat anyway.
They're logging in where the Opie starts, where the John starts.
So just go ahead.
Okay.
Seemed kind of gay to you.
Or not gay.
Well, okay.
And I'll explain why I've always been reluctant to do the chapters thing,
is I've introduced new characters on the show.
And people will be like, oh, I don't care about Opie.
I don't care about Patrick Michael.
And then they listen over time.
They go, actually, this fucking Patrick Michael guy's enthralling.
And if you give them an opportunity to skip that stuff, they never get into it in the first place.
I want people to listen.
I put together an amazing show.
I'm going to turn to Aaron Immolant for a second.
Every segment's fan fucking-tastic.
And the fact that you would skip one of them is wild to me.
I don't understand it at all.
Anyway, that's the reason why I have in the past, but maybe I will.
Maybe I will
Because I as a listener
Was the same way
I would skip to the things I liked
But eventually it couldn't stop
It would bleed
And I would find new people I like
But you can never stop me
From going first to the things I want
All right
All right
Was that a five-star review?
No, if you do the chapters
It might be
That one was three stars
Three
A man of a bitch
I guess you have room for improvement
Possible please around here
The last one is from
K. Banba and it says
As far as I can tell, these dupuses are completely
hung up on Opie and Anthony
from Opie and Anthony. They wish
they had an ounce of Opie's talent and humor.
Just a bunch of unintelligent
wannabes. Lower than a homeless man
stepped on birthday cake.
That's a five stars. We've ever heard of
95. Nice. Yes, it is.
Thank you guys for reviewing the show. It helps the
algorithm. I know people aren't listening on Apple
podcasts anymore. I think that's one of the only
places you can actually review podcasts.
So it makes it difficult. But thank you for going
out of your way to do that.
We appreciate it.
And for commenting on Spotify, I'm sure that helps an algorithm somewhere someday.
Let's check out some voicemails coming in.
Oh, Kianu called into the show.
Kiki.
Call, darling, it's Kiki.
Hello.
I have a brand new show.
Kiki and Ashley, weekly on YouTube, tell your people to watch it, call.
It's going to be a hit.
Oh, okay.
She's teamed up with Ashley Cummings to have a hit show.
That sounds great.
Oh, wait, she called back.
Hello, it's Kiki.
This is embarrassing and untoward, but Ashley and Kiki has been canceled.
Thank you.
Well, that was short-lived.
That's too bad.
Thank you, Robin.
We were playing the fallout between Dick and Vito from the biggest problem in the universe.
And this guy has an interesting observation about how Vito was arguing with Dick.
Hey, Carl.
I watched more of that Dick and Vito fight, and one of the things I know.
notice was whenever Dick said something that Vito didn't want to hear, that's when he said,
I don't get it.
I don't understand.
I think that's, like, his coping mechanism is just, like, I don't understand.
It's, like, his way of, I don't want to accept this as real.
But maybe I'm just reading into it too much.
Anyway, call me back.
no you're picking that up perfectly yep that that was veto's when dick was dick is very direct which i like
about him if he feels a certain way he's going to tell you not going to allude to something so he's just
like i don't want to talk to you because talking to use a waste of time because you don't learn
anything you don't listen to me i don't understand man what do you mean i don't understand because
you like the calmer i say it the more infuriating it is to the person talking yes but no that you picked
up on that perfectly uh here's a fun one

Let's talk about the next dabbocon that we're going to do
Yeah, come again
Also, when is
Davocon 3 or whatever the fuck we're doing
Make fun of John?
Because, yeah, I want to buy
beef drip into beer.

coming soon
it'll be a fun one
everyone wants to attend for sure
silent auctions
a dunk tank
oh this is a
you're saying, speaking of the Kate Mini Tapes.
Hey, Carl.
I was just thinking about something about the lawsuits.
He's talking about the Kate Mini Taps.
Doesn't John admit to, like, crimes in the Kate Mini Taps?
Like, sending cocaine through the mail?
Like, it's not a good idea to bring that stuff to a courtroom.
That's integrity verification.
Right.
I don't know if he can.
get legal trouble for it, but it seems like a really bad idea.
Anyway, call me back.
I hear what you're saying.
That's not how the law works, though.
It's fine.
He can cry and complain, getting made fun of, and being humiliated all he wants.
Boehner guy is a great idea.
Carl, I was wondering, why doesn't everyone who's watching this right now click like,
leave a comment, and subscribe?
That's a great question, Boner Guy.
Why isn't everyone hitting a like and subscribe on this video right now?
What are they waiting for?
producer chris they're probably busy voting for you at the creepoff that's correct the creepoff
vote for carl i could use a w uh last voicemail coming in and this is a throwback to earlier
uh voice mail tropes hey carl we're on the electrician here this is how i talk uh i've been thinking
about what you've been saying recently that you're now the six hundred thousand dollar man
let me do a quick math oh that's a 20 million yeah you're
You are about 3% of Dick Masterson.
That sounds about it right.
All right.
Well, Maddox had the most ridiculous attorney ever suing for $20 billion.
I don't know what to tell you.
I'm not going to make that up any time soon.
And if you really want to get technical, he's $380 million because Maddox, his lawyer doesn't
know how to file a lawsuit, and it was per count.
Right.
Each one was $20 million that I'll add it up.
It's so funny to me that Tab just avoided getting served.
He just never got served.
And I didn't, I guess I didn't realize that was.
an option i probably should have done that uh all right what are we promoting annie i i forget
the promos now lately producer chrisse yells at me afterwards i'm like oh you're right i'm the
worst i would like to promote echo pineapple uh he's doing a new series where i join a couple of
fellas to uh cover a book series called wheel of time it's coming out this thursday i believe oh
well to that i say just do it
Very good. Adam, anything you're promoting, my friend.
What's Wheel of Time? What's that book series?
Well, I'm only in Chapter 5 so far, so I don't really know.
It's a long fantasy series done by Robert Jordan.
Apparently, he passed away right before it was finished,
and he had known he was getting near the end of his life,
so he had structured it out for it to get finished.
So it is now officially finished all 15 books.
So it's going to be in for the long haul,
and we're going to be covering chapters at a time
and doing a little bit of a breakdown and, like, questions.
gay
nobody

Richard
Donald.
Really?
Yeah, because they, they, it was, he was conceived when Donald won the election.
Wow.
It's a fun fact.
What could possibly go wrong with that name?
Donnie Mastersor said, I can't think of anything.
