Who Are These Podcasts? - Ep663 - The Howard Stern Show Jocktober Extravaganza

Episode Date: October 5, 2025

This week we’re celebrating Jocktober by reviewing multiple radio shows. We start with the biggest name in morning radio, Howard Stern. On Tuesday the king of all media had a ridiculous argument wit...h his wife about whether or not he’s “fun.” It’s pretty obvious that this marriage is on the ropes based on the conversation and the specific words that are being used by Beth. Erik Nagel joins the show along with first-time guest and Howard Stern expert MLP. NYC news station 1010 WINS had a very unfortunate x-rated broadcast earlier this week. Tom Myers is back with his political podcast after taking the entire summer off and his monologue does disappoint. Morning radio staple War of the Roses had a short-lived and ill-advised animated series that iHeart quickly removed from Earth. Opie addresses the purchased views and complains about $2 superchats from “haters.” Jeffrey from the morning duo Brooke and Jeffrey sings a parody song about Cal Raleigh and there isn’t a joke to be found. We help the very stable Pulper connect with Erock. Stuttering John might have a new lawsuit on his hands as Anthony Cumia claims John SA’d a woman in Vegas. Finally, we play a round of To Poke A Dabbler, get caught up on Internet News, and listen to recent voicemails.  Check out Erock - http://itseriknagel.com/ Support us, get bonus episodes, and watch live every Saturday and Wednesday: ⁠http://bit.ly/watp-patreon⁠ ⁠https://watp.supercast.tech/⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Starting point is 00:00:00 I told them, and the strongest of words, to just do it. You see, this is a, we just do it kind of show. Why do we have to let guys like Stuttering John in? Happy birthday! Episode 663. Are you a boner guy? Oh, I was a boner guy. You know what? I missed penis.
Starting point is 00:00:24 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, asswife, and suck my cock. I've been dying to say that.
Starting point is 00:00:48 Maddie-Oh! Cuzz-a-ro! Cuzz-a-ro! Slaperoo-oo-oo-Slapperuni. It's showtime. W-A-T-P, W-A-C-P. Hello, welcome to another episode of Who-O-O-O-R podcast,
Starting point is 00:01:14 the only show that peaks during the intro. I'm your host, Carl, the $850,000 man. And with me this week, making his debut, W-A-T-P's official Howard Stern expert and correspondent, my friend, MLP. What's up, MLP? That's not a brag, man. I wasn't saying it was a brag.
Starting point is 00:01:30 I was introducing who you are to the audience. Producer Chris is here as well. Hello. Please go to Who Are These.com, get our email address, voicemail number, link to our subreddit, link to our Discord server, link to our merchandise, link to our YouTube channel, and that link to Patreon and Supercast featuring two, two exclusive bonus episodes. Every single month, we just had another edition of Living in the Past with Stuttering John Melendez, where we went back and found a podcast from even before the Stuttering John podcast that we originally
Starting point is 00:01:57 found back in 2018. team. Yes. And John is on Adderall and Coke and a little bit of caffeine and confidence. He is shot out of a cannon in this episode. We break that down as well as the very first mention of WATP on his show where he declared that he's never heard of us. Yes. That hurt really bad. I was like,
Starting point is 00:02:18 I thought it was famous. God damn it. That was the only time it was true. He gets me every time. That's true. Yeah, that's the only time you'd never heard of us. After that, he had heard of us. Good point. Also, we encourage our listeners. Give us five stars on Apple Podcasts or wherever you review podcasts and shit all of us in the comments section today. We'll be reviewing the Howard Stern Show and kicking off Jock Tover. This is a suggestion from MLP.
Starting point is 00:02:42 We've all listened separately, not discussed it with each other beforehand. Let's get into it as a show hosted by the once great, the once entertaining Howard Stern. And Howard Stern, we've documented well here. Other people have documented this as well. he has really declined in his ability to broadcast, his ability to be interesting and be fun and funny. And he came back from his summer break and decided to make all these changes. Like he's not talking about politics anymore. Is that true, Mike?
Starting point is 00:03:12 Yeah, he gave up on politics. Pretty vanilla. Yeah, he's realized that alienating his audience is not helping him with his contract negotiations and telling people not to listen to him. And then all the news coming out about, oh, is Sirius going to renew his contract? I was like, who gives a shit? And Howard's like, oh, I guess I got to change something here. I'm pissing a lot of people off.
Starting point is 00:03:31 So he's been trying to make some changes, but I've only dipped in a few times since he came back from the summer break, and everything I hear is just a slog. Is that what you've been hearing, too? Pretty much. You know, it started, you know, when he came back with all the fakeness and all the kind of garbage. And, you know, even with all the politics and stuff, you know,
Starting point is 00:03:51 going to the Jimmy Kimmel, he barely even spoke about that. and that's supposedly his best friend. It's kind of odd, I think. Yeah, that's right. Everyone was waiting for, like, what's how we're going to say about Jimmy Kimmel? And it didn't seem like he had a lot to say about it for some reason. No.
Starting point is 00:04:06 So I was checking out the episode on Tuesday, and Mike said this is one that you might want to check out. And that is a lead-off home run by Michael Bush. I will be distracted today. I will be distracted again today. The Cubs keep playing playoff games while we record who are these podcasts. It's just rude. I mean, the Cubs are pissing me off now.
Starting point is 00:04:25 Basically, baseball is doing this to me specifically. I don't appreciate it at all, but that's a good start. Well, let's make sure we're done by four for the Yankees, okay? Okay, I'll see what we can do. So on Tuesday's show, Howard comes on, and it starts off with guitar talk, which is excruciating. Now, I remember all of his other hobbies that he's gone through, chess and painting. The list goes on. Right now, it's guitar.
Starting point is 00:04:49 And he does this routinely and cyclically where he goes through different hobbies. obsessed with it. I used to listen to talk about chess and you play chess. I don't. Whatever. He made it interesting enough that I was paying attention when he was painting. I don't care about his painting, but I paid a little bit of attention to it. I play guitar. And I couldn't be more bored with guitar talk. Guys call in and they're like, oh, this is what you got to do to learn how to play guitar. It's like, why are you taking these calls? Like just fucking enjoy your hobby. He's busting out his guitar and playing for us still, right, Mike? Yeah, there was a guy that called in the other day who played the guitar for him.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Yes, and then guys are going out, check this out. It's like, cool, man. I know a lot of people can play guitar. It's really not that impressive in my world. So after this guitar talk, Howard starts talking about how he passes time in his day. And this kind of starts off into this conversation about whether or not Howard is fun. And so what I want to break down for you today is Howard Stern show from Tuesday discussing whether or not Howard Stern is fun. Anyway, I'm pretty much these days I just sit in the house.
Starting point is 00:05:53 And I play the guitar and I play decently when I'm by myself, kind of, kind of for me, for a guy doing it. Well, that must be fun, though. You must be very proud of yourself. Sometimes I pretend I'm playing for, like, you know what I mean? Like, I'll pretend, oh, Robin's over here and I'm playing for her, but that's about as far as it gets. You know what I mean? So a few of these clips to set this up are going to be dry like this. It's just, he's painting a picture right now.
Starting point is 00:06:17 Howard sits in his mansion, one of them, giant mansion, by himself, and plays guitar. and he used to talk about how he just wanted to sit in a chair and stare at the wall. And that was like his goal in life. I hope somebody I can retire to stare at a wall, Robin. That's all I want to be able to do. And now he's doing it, but also strumming a guitar poorly while he's doing that. You've been playing for a while. I have.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Have you ever pretended someone else was there and you were playing for them? No. That's a very strange thing. That is strange. If only producer Chris could see me play this chord. Whoa, check that out. I wish MLP was over. Watch this.
Starting point is 00:06:51 No, that is odd. And it's because Howard is afraid to play in front of people, even though he plays it on the radio. So I'm not sure what that means. But the only person he lives with is Beth and all their servants, but mainly Beth. And so you'd think, like, maybe he could play a guitar for his wife. I try to play for Beth because that would be good, too,
Starting point is 00:07:12 because, like, I can't even play in front. So, like, I try to play in front. But she gets so annoyed when I play guitar. I know my guitar playing annoys the fuck out of her. Oh. But she won't say it. and, you know, she's the one who got me a teacher and everything, but I can tell she wants nothing to do with it.
Starting point is 00:07:27 Then why do you bring it to the radio? The one audience member you have at home. I mean, it's not a large group, but 100% of them don't like it when you play guitar. Yeah, read the room. And he goes, you know what I got to do is open the show with this tomorrow morning. Weird. So, yeah, apparently, when Howard busts the guitar out, Beth is like, all right, I'm out of here. I said, I want to be good.
Starting point is 00:07:48 She goes, no, I hear you. I go, you never hear me. You, every time I start to play, you leave the room. I think she hears you through the door. I don't think so. And you know what? It's really weird to me because if Beth was playing guitar, I would be curious as hell to hear her play.
Starting point is 00:08:05 But she wants nothing to do with my guitar. She doesn't want to even hear it. All right. We'll start analyzing this now. This is resentment. If she had a hobby that she enjoyed, I would enjoy it with her, but she's not enjoying my hobby with me. Don't you think that's kind of fucked up, Robin?
Starting point is 00:08:23 Do you hear what he's saying? Oh, yeah. He's like, I got it all in on the cats. What the fuck? That's true. Okay, I'll give him that. But we're going to learn that there are things Beth likes to do that Howard wants nothing to do with. So he's just as guilty of this.
Starting point is 00:08:36 But that's an odd thing where he's just like, yeah, you know, I try to play guitar for her. She just walks out of the room. This is just an old married couple living in a giant mansion with hundreds of cats. I can only imagine what this seat is like, man. It's got to be really depressing to be around them. But Howard's decided, okay, you know what? I'm going to fix my marriage. I got the idea.
Starting point is 00:08:57 What if Beth and I were musicians together and we performed a duet. And he's talking about performing this duet on his radio show coming up. And this is a brilliant idea by Howard. Well, Beth and I are working on a duet. So I told you for Christmas, for her birthday, I bought her her recorder, a recorder. Have you ever seen one of those? They look kind of like a flute, but it's not. Because she played one in her sixth grade class, like for the class play.
Starting point is 00:09:26 Right, because they're for children, recorders. It's not an instrument for adults. Yeah. There's those things as the recorder section of the symphony orchestra. Sixth grade is actually too old. Yeah, I know. I think we started playing a recorder like second grade. And I was the best.
Starting point is 00:09:40 The teacher said, holy shit, Carl, you're going to get signed to Atlantic Records someday. He bought her a recorder because she played in sixth grade. Honestly, I think the slide whistle is a more adult instrument, a more sophisticated instrument than a recorder. I'd feel better about that. What about your favorite instrument? The skin flute. Hold on. You see the mandolin, you motherfucker?
Starting point is 00:10:03 The harmonica. Oh, I hate the harmonica so much. So he's got her a recorder. And recorders are very inexpensive, very easy to play. Sound like shit. Sound like babies dying. But whatever. So Howard picks out a nice recorder for her.
Starting point is 00:10:21 She hated the recorder I bought. She said, I can't play this. So she went out and bought a really nice recorder for $30. Because the one I got her was $15. I would have bought her the $30 one, but I couldn't find one. That was more than $15 on Amazon. Imagine that. Dude.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Howard Stern buys an instrument for Beth, and it's a $15 recorder. And she goes, I need to upgrade this thing. It's twice as much. It doesn't surprise me that the most expensive recorder is $30. bucks yeah that's top of the line that's how you know this is not a real instrument that people play all right so now at this point how we start talking about how he's been badgering beth to come on the air and play and beth's been putting it off she doesn't want to do it so eventually they're like all right how about the christmas show the last show before the end of the year well we'll build this thing up
Starting point is 00:11:09 we'll come out we'll do a duet together me and my guitar you on the recorder and this is just an example of Robin laughing at absolutely nothing. I mean, we've played many examples of this, but it's out of control. Yeah, but I went to work on it with her the other day, and she didn't want anything to do with it. Now she's not going to rehearse. Why are you laughing? That's a good question. What is she laughing at?
Starting point is 00:11:36 She doesn't want to rehearse, huh? Dr. Habert over here. Yeah, I guess not, Robin. Good stuff. Dynamite dropping. Yeah, I mean, I hate statistics. enough for Robin, but what is she's supposed to do with the story? I mean, this is
Starting point is 00:11:50 when we talk about old married couples, it might as be talking about Howard and Robin. Because these two are just fucking what happened to you today? I don't know. What happened to nothing? Okay. You're doing anything's weekend now? Jesus, what are we doing? All right, joining us just in
Starting point is 00:12:06 time as we get into the meat and potatoes of this section of the Howard Stern show. My buddy Eric Nagel. E. Rock, what's up, buddy? Who doesn't love meat and potatoes? I shouldn't have brought up food I know You're talking to the king of the steak martini here my friend
Starting point is 00:12:22 The steak martini Yeah I can hear your stomach from here It's fantastic Too much All right so Beth told Howard that He's not fun
Starting point is 00:12:32 Now E. Rock I don't know what adjectives you would think of When the name Howard Stearns brought up Is fun one of them Not for the last 20 years Yeah Not since he was single after his first divorce fun, adventurous, exciting.
Starting point is 00:12:50 None of those seem to apply anymore. Yeah. Content. Yeah. Hachy. Right. Yeah. So apparently this is a debate that's going on.
Starting point is 00:12:58 Oh, by the way, Eric, it's my friend, MLP, MLP, EROC. EROC. Hello, sir. Nice to meet you. I don't want to be rude. Not introducing this. So this is, yeah, I guess Howard and Beth have been having an argument lately. My wife says to me, you're not fun.
Starting point is 00:13:14 And I went, oh, whoa. what do you mean I'm not fun she goes it's not it she goes I love you I love you so much but you're not fun I go well wait a second what do you mean I'm not fun what do you think is fun what do you how do you classify fun I think I'm fun
Starting point is 00:13:32 I'm fun Howard thinks he's fun Beth I think nailed it No shit Sherlock No shit He's the opposite of fun he's a curmudgeon That's usually one of the first things that is said to the significant other before the divorce proceedings happen. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:54 Where it's like, you're not fun. We used to go out to dinner. We used to go dancing. We used to do all of these things. Ever since COVID, you don't leave the house. That's the conversation that they're having. And as we know, Beth is a star fucker and wants to be hanging out with Howard's celebrity friends. I mean, they're celebrity friends.
Starting point is 00:14:13 You know who was fun, Howard. Those guys I fucked. It's funny to say that. That is going to come up. We're going to talk about the celebrity friends that are fun. But first up, let's find out what kind of fun activities these two are up to. No, I'm not saying I'm fun, but I mean, I'm not, I mean, would you say it's fun to sit and talk with me over breakfast? She goes, no.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Oh. I go, but she goes, that doesn't mean I, she goes, I can't wait for you to come down for breakfast so we can talk. But it's not fun. So I can picture this scenario. Howard loves reading his New York Times. He's up in the morning, walks down. He's reading the newspaper, having some breakfast. He's eating his grapefruit with a sugar packet next to it, that he eats with a spoon and slurps loudly.
Starting point is 00:15:02 Yep. All those fun things. And what do you think he's bitching about? Donald Trump, the Republicans. Well, the weather, yeah. The cost of recorders. I'm just saying he's reading the New York. time's first thing in the morning.
Starting point is 00:15:16 I can only imagine. I've heard him bitch about politics many times at his show. It's not fun. There's nothing fun about it. Beth has to sit there and put up with it. So then they try to figure out like what's an example of something
Starting point is 00:15:29 that would be fun. And she can't seem to give me an example of what fun would be. So Howard, being the intuitive guy that he is, goes, oh, I'm not fun? Then tell me what I should do to be fun. It's like, yeah, that's not how marriage works.
Starting point is 00:15:44 or relationships. I can't just tell you how to act around me to make it better. But apparently they were in Italy for vacation. July of 2024. This is how far back we have to go to remember the last time Howard was fun.
Starting point is 00:16:01 With Jimmy Kimmel and Molly, of course. I said, I said, I said, okay, you Jimmy and Molly said I was fun in Italy. Why was I fun? Where is she? here. Wait to you hear or explain it. And I don't... Okay. You think she'll explain it to us?
Starting point is 00:16:21 Well, she told me she is not having this conversation on the air. Now, I don't know what that means. I don't know why she won't discuss whether or not I'm fun. This is like Stuttering John, remember a compliment? Where it's like, you said I was fun in July of 2024. Remember that? I must be fun. Yeah, okay. That's cool, man. It's October of 25 now. But yeah, yeah, yeah. No, that one time. I can't remember to pay your bills, your car insurance, your rent, take care of your cats. But you remember in 1987 when Jim Florentine said something, oh, you should be headlining, John, and he carries that like a banner. Yeah, of course I'm going to brag.
Starting point is 00:16:55 Coming up in our Southern John segment, we're going to find out that John can't remember what Elsaat stands for, even though it's been the topic of conversation for weeks now. So, yeah, it's one of those kind of guys. Another thing, too, is there's not a lot of shows, but there are some shows where when the, wife starts getting introduced, sparingly, eventually becomes a regular appearance on their show. And that's usually one of the signs that that show is not, not too much longer to be on the air. Don and Mike, that was a big thing with Don and Mike, where when Don kept bringing his wife on the show all the time is when a lot of the long-term hardcore Don and Mike fans started going. It's like, I can't listen. She's on going to be on the show for another half hour.
Starting point is 00:17:41 I can't deal with this. And then not too long after that, yeah, obviously she died. Thankfully, she was taking out by a car accident, so it saved the show. That's what Eric was going to say. I'm sorry. I'll let you talk next time.
Starting point is 00:17:54 You got to the point of it. There was that, and then the fact that he backed over his dog on the driveway was a big topic of conversation, too. But once the wife starts coming into the show, you know the show is lost forever. Weez, brother Weez's show. 40-something years. And what happened in the last several years, his wife was on the show. And now we're starting to see it with Howard.
Starting point is 00:18:19 This is just sprinkling in, but she's been on more times than I can remember anybody else in his family other than his mom on the phone. Right. There's a reason for that. It's because Beth is upstairs. Howard doesn't go into work anymore. So she's in the studio. She's just a phone call away. A text message away to coming up. I don't know if it was last week or maybe the week before. but he called her downstairs because there were spiders in his... Oh, I saw that clip. Erock went to set that to me, actually. He was freaking out.
Starting point is 00:18:49 Yeah. You did something that. And it wasn't like that was something we just clipped. They put it out on the social media account. Like, oh, the people will... This will make Howard relatable to the common man. Have my wife come in and kill a spider because I'm up here going, like an old Looney Tunes cartoon. Yeah, that was the highlight of that episode.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Howard was afraid of a spider. All right, let's find out if Howard's not fun. Then who the fuck is fun? I don't know. I was like, well, but who is fun and who, how do you, how do you become fun? Like who, like, what is fun mean? Where is she? Hold on a second.
Starting point is 00:19:22 Webster's Dictionary. Let me, let me call her and say, could you come down here for two minutes? Then she'll be, I'm too busy. Wait, watch. I mean, isn't that proof that you aren't fun if you don't know what that means? And I'll give it Beth Pross when she comes out. She does explain it pretty easily, a way that all of us can understand. but Howard can't pick up what she's putting down.
Starting point is 00:19:43 So this is when he calls Beth to have this conversation that Beth said she did not want to have on the show. Hello. Do you mind coming on the air? Do you mind coming on the air with us? What are you talking about? Talking about, all right, I'll be honest. I was going to lie.
Starting point is 00:20:01 But I'm talking about whether or not I'm fun. You're not. Yeah, but what is fun? Do you want me to put a lampshade on my head and dance around the room, would that be fun? No, you're completely misunderstanding that whole conversation that we had. Okay, explain. It wasn't a negative.
Starting point is 00:20:22 Do you want me to come down? Yeah, come on, down. It's a quick conversation. I just want to, like, is this fun right now? I have a question for you, Mike. Does Howard ever have a quick conversation? Well, not only that, but he called her and said, you're on the air. Like, she knows what he's doing.
Starting point is 00:20:37 By the way, I don't know if you know this, you're on the air right now. like, yeah, yeah, I'm listening upstairs. Yeah, right. I know. So then, as she's coming down to get ready to be in the studio and get berated by Howard, Robin dodges a bullet. Do you think I'm fun? Oh, here's my wife.
Starting point is 00:20:53 Hey, honey. But let me set you up. I think I'm probably enough to answer that. I mean, Robin, do you think I'm fun, right? Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm getting a weird thing in my headphones right now. It's cutting out or something. Oh, oh, Beth is there.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Okay, yeah, let's talk to Beth about this. Having cancer is more fun. Yes. I'd rather have a tumor in my uterus and hang out with Howard Stern. All right. So, Beth, I think, sounds like an abused spouse. And maybe I'm overselling this or overstating it, but take a lesson. Now, let's just have to. First of all, you make me sound like I'm so nasty and mean and just criticize you every second.
Starting point is 00:21:32 No. What did I say when we were talking about you're not being fun? You said you love me so much. You don't regret marrying me. No. Yes. I said, I love you so much. You're the most interesting man I know. The smartest man I know. I enjoy every second with you. I choose you over anything and anyone any time of the year. Right. You are my life. I cannot wait for you to come have breakfast in the morning. Did I not say all of this? Yes. And I told Robin. Wow. Sounds like someone's straining to do something explaining. A little. Holy shit. I said you're not fun. Here are the list of things that I like about.
Starting point is 00:22:09 you so you'll fucking get off my back about it already this is um when you she she's covering her ass because he he thinks she's picking on him and she's just to everybody else she goes she's telling you the truth and she's telling you facts and she's telling you she's trying to be uh logical about his idiosyncrasies and his the fact that i mean we we knew he's crazy staying in his house all the time right but it's getting even worse he doesn't go out doesn't know anything with oh when he was at Metallica in the Hamptons. You'd think he would be fun there a few weeks ago. And every photo that you saw,
Starting point is 00:22:45 he's standing there in a hoodie, like miserable waiting to leave. Like he does not want to be there. Hey, what does I play for the encore, Howard? Just kidding. He was gone by the first stop. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:56 But yeah, she tells him things. She goes, you know, like I think constructive criticism to him. Yeah. And he takes it as like, she's always picking on me. She nitpicks on everything I do. It's like, no, you're a psychopath.
Starting point is 00:23:07 All she's saying is like, I'm trying to bring. bring you back from the brink, and it looks like she's failing. But also, I mean, EROC's married, MLP's married. Doesn't it seem like she's kind of a program to be like, I got to please this man right now and list all of these things. Trust me, I really do like you. I'm into this and this and this.
Starting point is 00:23:26 I mean, the first couple of things she set up on was out of a Dosecchi's commercial, like the most interesting man. It doesn't seem real. Yeah, and he's the smartest. He doesn't know what fun means. Yeah, right. I learned that when I was a little kid. Yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 00:23:41 She's tiptoeing around the potential powder keg that she knows he can be. I'm not saying an abuse, but it's that mental kind of control that it's like, all right, you got to walk on Greg shells around him or else he'll lose it over the stupidest little thing. That's what I'm saying. So apparently Beth went to like a high school reunion or something like that recently and Howard didn't go. And that worked out very well. We came up with You're Not Fun because we were talking about my reunion or something, how, aren't you glad I didn't go to your reunion? I'm like, yeah, because it would have been terrible. I would have been worried about you, your comfort, your, people would have come up to you. You would have been annoyed. But you said it was the most fun you've ever had. I said that was the most fun I had this summer. I was dancing. I was out until 3 a.m. You don't dance. You don't stay out to 3 a.m. I didn't eat all day because there was no food there. You would have been.
Starting point is 00:24:37 miserable. You can't let lose. You can't be you're not easy. So if I become a dance... You're not fun. It's not fucking believable. Like he's like purposely not figuring out like she's explaining this very well. Yes. It's the sound of
Starting point is 00:24:53 someone deliberately not getting the point. Deliberally like oh so you want me dancing more. Is that what it is? You guys can kind of on that but this is the follow-up to that. If I dance with you, would that be fun? No, you're missing. Robin, are you understanding? No. Robin, love you.
Starting point is 00:25:07 You're just not that person. Robin loves my fun. She says you're a drip, Howard. That was the point. Not about the dancing part. But they're also not talking about something that happened before all of this, which is probably Howard didn't want her to go either. He was trying to talk her out of going to this thing.
Starting point is 00:25:27 And then knowing that she has her mindset on this, and that's not going to happen. I gracefully bowed out so she could go and have fun. And she loved it. The second the car showed up, she hopped in the car, she went to the thing, she could eat, she could drink, she didn't have to worry about getting home. She lived it up, had a night. He was probably in bed because he fell asleep during watching Ryan Sequest, Sequest holds the Wheel of Fortune. He was already in bed. She's like, it's nine o'clock.
Starting point is 00:25:53 I have the night to myself. This is fantastic. And he said this before on the air where she wants to go do stuff and he's like, why wouldn't you want to just be home with me? I mean, shouldn't I be, shouldn't you want to be with your husband? Isn't it fun? we can watch Bachelor in Paradise? He said that shit out loud before. So I think you're spot on.
Starting point is 00:26:11 They're in that. They're in that stage where they can't watch a TV show. They have to have their spouse sitting there with them. And if you're not paying attention, wake up. You're missing this thing that I want to sleep. I don't really care about this show. They have to do things together or they can't function anymore. Also, Howard does this thing because Beth talks about it and so does he.
Starting point is 00:26:32 Like how Suttering John talks about he wants to watch. jaws with Kate Meaney so he can explain all the nuances that are going on and how it's been directed and written. Howard is the same thing with The Bachelor, where he's commenting on it and giving commentary throughout the... He needs Beth
Starting point is 00:26:49 to be there, or else he's just watching the Bachelor. He needs to be analyzing it and talking in real time as he's watching it, which has got to be a lot of fun for people. All right, so let's find out who is fun. What is your... Who do you know
Starting point is 00:27:05 that is fun. Who do I know that's fun? Jimmy's not fun. Jimmy's fun. Why, Jimmy sits there like a plant and he's fun? Jimmy is, Jimmy and I, Jimmy is fun. On vacation, Jimmy sits. Jimmy and Molly are fun.
Starting point is 00:27:21 You know, Jimmy likes to relax and he doesn't talk that much. No, but he's easy. This is, I can't believe they're still having this discussion. Because Howard's not understanding, like, Beth can make her own fun. Beth doesn't need Howard to be fun She needs Howard to get out of the way Yeah, she needs to be away from Howard Right
Starting point is 00:27:40 The word easy I think she said it a couple times now Is perfect Howard is difficult Everything is a problem Everything is a complaint He's gonna get a cold And everything has to orbit him
Starting point is 00:27:51 It has to be centered around him Or else he can't function Right Every guest who's at the dinner party Has to be hand selected by Howard It's like oh you're bringing a plus one Who is it? It's everything's a problem
Starting point is 00:28:03 with this guy. And so she's like, Jimmy Kimmel's great. He just fucking hangs out and goes with the flow. That's what you want when you're on vacation. I don't know how old they are, but Jimmy and his wife are probably around her age or at least close to her age where Howard's not around
Starting point is 00:28:19 their age. So they can kind of relate on things and it's easier for them to converse and do things than it is between her and Howard. Yeah, that's what happens when you marry an old man who has a ton of money. So you eventually realize like, I got a ton of money.
Starting point is 00:28:33 money and cats, but this sucks. Well, as we mentioned, they're constantly entertaining. They have people over. Howard doesn't like to leave the house, but Beth can't have any fun when Howard's around. Molly's not worried about Jimmy.
Starting point is 00:28:50 No? No. And you're worried about me. Every second, your comfort, you're... Okay, we were having dinner with another couple. I wonder if they would be mine that I mentioned their names the other night.
Starting point is 00:29:01 You make the doubt to say... I'm going to say it because I don't think No care. We had Ali and George over for dinner. Allie went more than George Stappanoffin. Drop! So then she goes on this whole story about how, you know, it's not, like, George Stephanopoulos also isn't fun.
Starting point is 00:29:19 Howard's not fun, and it's fine. You don't have to be fun. She's like, I married you, I knowing you weren't fun. It's okay. I don't know why you're worried about this. You should know that you're not fun, and let's just live our lives that way. In fact, if Howard wants to be fun, he can let Beth have fun more often, and she gives a specific example of what things she would like to be doing
Starting point is 00:29:39 that he doesn't allow her to do. You don't. You're not spontaneous. Sometimes I'm like, oh, it would be fun to go into the city, and let's go see, let's go see Ed Shearing. How many times did I, how many times did I hinted that that would have been so much fun for me? I would be more fun. The Ed Shearing concert, I love Ed Shearin. I would love to have gone.
Starting point is 00:30:00 He wanted me to announce him coming. coming on stage. Guess what? The concert's over and we didn't go. Sucker had to work all day, Wednesday, and then to get into the city takes us another three hours, so I was exhausted. But I would be fun if I could magically get to the city. This is interesting to me. So he asks for examples. He asks who's fun, what's fun? She gets specific examples. Jimmy Kimmel's fun. I would like to go see Ed Shearrett at the city. We could have done that after you're done with your show. And Howard, who's been in therapy for all of these years
Starting point is 00:30:31 who should know to like when you're getting in from when you ask a question you get information back process it try to understand like okay how how should I be reacting to this what could I be doing better instead of immediately with the excuse well you know I can't get into the city after the show because we gotta get the car
Starting point is 00:30:46 and it takes three hours to get there and I'm tired but doesn't he still have that that mega apartment near Central Park still doesn't he still have the place in the city oh Iraq so he's He has to take a nap after the show. And Beth goes, you can nap at the apartment.
Starting point is 00:31:05 They have an apartment right near where Ed Shearer is performing. And Ed Shearin invited Howard to introduce him on stage. This was a whole thing. And I was like, just no way I could possibly pull that off. Plus he's got the money. I mean, why not just rent the helicopter or something? You could literally get a helicopter, although I'm sure he's freaked out by that one accident that happened. Freaking Kobe.
Starting point is 00:31:24 Yeah, we'll never do that. If he has the apartment still, that would mean he would have to come in a day early. he could stay there he'd have to go into serious to do the show in the studio and then take his or go back to the apartment until he has to go introduce ed sheer in his apartment and then do the next day's show that's what he's avoiding he does not want to go back into the city does not want to go back into serious to do the show he's avoiding everything and this whole conversation just started with why am i not fun what can i do to be fun like here's a very specific examples like, I'm not doing that.
Starting point is 00:31:58 Like, okay, then why are we having this discussion? What's the point? And as I said earlier, she just brought it up. You're not spontaneous. We used to go into the city and do things. That's one of those things that leads up to the eventual breakup or whatever of a couple. You follow somebody else who doesn't like going into the city very much anymore. Who's that?
Starting point is 00:32:19 Greg. Oh, yeah, Greg also hates Manhattan. He makes that very clear. He just wants to be in the Hampton's on Long. Island all year round, too. So here's another example of something that she likes to do for fun, and Howard would never do this. So my friends, Kelly and Joe, invited me to a Pittsburgh Steeler game.
Starting point is 00:32:41 Right. Right. Yeah, why can't I go to that? So I'm going to invite my brothers and their family, maybe my mom. And there was not one second where I thought to include you. It would have been misery Oh my God But it's true
Starting point is 00:32:59 It would be That would be miserable Are you grateful that I'm not But you know I'd be misery Because if I go It becomes a whole thing You know what I mean Not the way that they do it
Starting point is 00:33:09 Yeah Again this is A Howard problem She's planning her life And things Without including him Like she just admitted We didn't even think
Starting point is 00:33:19 To invite you to this But her entire family And friends are all going To this thing Except her husband husband. Right. And at first he's like, well, I want to go to that. And he thinks about her saying. He's like, I definitely will not want to be doing that. But he's not understanding what she just said. She just said, I'm going to this thing. It's going to be a lot of fun. You would hate it. I like fun. I like fun. I like fun. I like fun. I like fun. Right. That's the conversation. This discussion is about. But Howard's still not picking up what she's putting down. All right. I'll go. You're not going. I'm not invited. I'm going to go to that game and make you have fun. We're going to fly to Pittsburgh. Straight to the game. Oh, no. Socialize with my
Starting point is 00:33:55 I know. There's no breaks in that schedule, however. I guess I'm not fun. You're right. You love routine. You love routine. God forbid. I'm like, okay, we have plans to go to the city if we do.
Starting point is 00:34:08 I said, let's leave right after your show. No, I have to have my lunch and my nap. She's married to an old man. Or she's married to someone in kindergarten. I need a snack and a nap. And then I can do stuff. So it turns out that Howard's finally realizing, like, he's a bad husband. All the things you're talking about, E. Rock, this is the conversations that lead to a divorce,
Starting point is 00:34:39 a separation, and Howard's like having that light bulb go off over his head. But I feel like I'm a failure as a husband because I should be more fun. I accepted who you were from the day that we met. But I was fun when we first met, right? because I was always taking you out of you're always. You were. You put on a little bit of a show. I want to get in your pants.
Starting point is 00:35:01 I wanted to bang you. Yuck. Howard's a chick. This is what, no offense to Jenny Jingle, she's the exception, but this is what women do where they're like how fun
Starting point is 00:35:11 and they're horny and all this shit when you're dating them and then you get married. They're just like, yeah, I actually never liked to give you a bulletjohn. I was like, what? He seemed really into it at the time. Again, an exception for Jenny Chingles, but a lot of these other women I hear about, I hear stories.
Starting point is 00:35:25 This is what Howard did. Howard's going to turn into Howard Hughes. Yeah. He's already on that path. He's mentioned that before. He's concerned about it. He knows that he's on that trajectory. Like for other people who say they have OCD, which they don't, this is really obsessive
Starting point is 00:35:43 compulsive disorder. He's slaved to his routine. He can't vary off the schedule at all and be mentally okay with it. doesn't want to leave the house now and eventually it's just going to be he won't answer the phone if the show if he didn't resign if he was done that would be the end of him too like he has no reason to talk to anybody would go and wouldn't go anywhere wouldn't even discuss the outside world he would just be there and going crazy and growing old in his house and he would wither away if beth left him let's say that happens he's never leaving the house again
Starting point is 00:36:21 She's the only one who's getting to go out and do anything. And he complains about it every time. So this past summer, you know, Howard's trying to say, like, it's only because I have to work. That's why I can't, like, do these spontaneous things. I've got to worry about my voice. I've got to be ready to go and mentally prepared for my show. And Beth goes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you have the entire summer off.
Starting point is 00:36:40 And we had no fun the entire summer. I'm a misery when I'm, when I have a cold and stuff and I'm sick. Oh, my God. But it's only because I have to work and use my, No, honey, you were off all summer. You were not fun. But I wasn't sick all summer because that's why. Because when I have fun, I get sick.
Starting point is 00:36:58 Okay. But one night we had fun. I went to the Stevens Talk House to see Marin Mara. Yeah, poor me. What happened? He got sick. I got sick. I can't have fun.
Starting point is 00:37:09 Then why did you have Beth on to talk about that? Right. Why did you argue with her that you are fun? And now after there's a quick discussion, you've realized that you can't have fun. You're unwilling to have fun. And he's talked himself into, if he does go out and try to do something fun, he will get sick and die. His therapy ruined Howard? It hasn't helped.
Starting point is 00:37:29 Although I've had this conversation with Adam Bush, where he's like, imagine how bad he'd be without the therapy. I can't imagine me worse than this. I don't know. Again, this points to Howard being in kindergarten because, you know, at that age, you want your kids to go out and play with other kids and get sick and get all the stuff. Right. So that they build up their immunity. Get the chicken pox, all of that stuff. Howard has isolated himself for so long
Starting point is 00:37:51 his body reverted to not understanding the common cold or anything so if he shakes someone's hand touches a door a doorknop just goes and walks through a crowd all of a sudden he's got some kind of crippled sickness that he can't function for the next few days that concert he's talking about that he went to no one else was sick afterwards
Starting point is 00:38:11 only Howard caught a cold from that concert he always talks about he's so worried about his voice all the time too you know like he what's he got like nine hours a week right and he doesn't even have his voice is just so monotone now well how many hours a week do you podcast a lot more than that too many i haven't done the math on that i'm not that good at math but yeah it's like and he doesn't talk excitedly he just says at robin you know i was uh complaining to my wife robin you don't need to spare your voice too much to pull that i mean 71 so there's no inflection yeah right you know who else was there
Starting point is 00:38:48 that probably had to worry more about their voice than Howard did. Paul McCartney. All the musicians and singers that were there? Yeah. Paul McCartney, there's a photo where he's like two or three people away from Howard, and you don't see Paul worrying, but he's like, I got to perform, the most famous singer of our time. Who's 10 years older than Howard, too.
Starting point is 00:39:07 And was not concerned that he might get a bit of a scratch in his throat before having to go perform somewhere else. So then Howard brings up the thing that he wants to do with Beth, You know, the thing that he finds fun is playing guitar. And so he wants to rehearse this duet they're going to do. You know what? We're going to start with. We're going to have practice tonight with the guitar and recorder.
Starting point is 00:39:26 That's fun for you. No, that's fun for me. I'm doing that for you. That's not my fun. I'm doing it. By the way. Wow, he changed the subject right there. I didn't go back to it.
Starting point is 00:39:35 That's fun for you. No, I don't like doing that. Well, then why the fuck are we doing it? Beth wants nothing to do with this duet playing the recorder. We're going to put on our little performance. So after dinner, the whole family will come into the living room. and we'll perform, and everybody will think it's great. We've been working on it all day.
Starting point is 00:39:51 She, I don't know. I think it was before you came on, Iraq. Howard bought Beth a recorder because she played it in sixth grade. And now she has to learn a song so they can play a duet on the radio show in December. And Beth's like, I don't want to do this. She's mentioned this multiple times. And Howard's like, yeah, yeah, we're going to do it. We're going to make this happen.
Starting point is 00:40:11 What if they do it? It's the last show. And then Christmas break, and then he doesn't get his contract back. That would be how they end the show. show that'd be fucking awesome that'd be a hell of a way to add the Howard Stern show you see the documentary down the line
Starting point is 00:40:24 the big triumphant end it's it wasn't star studded it's just him and his wife playing three blind mice in that little studio downstairs they shove the recorder up Ronnie's ass afterwards I'd watch that you're very talented Carl
Starting point is 00:40:42 I know I was doing my impression of a recorder they're shitty instruments they sell the garbage turns out she hates music. I don't have time for this. That's what I mean. You're not going on. It's not fun for me. Then forget it. We're not doing it. We're not doing it. It's like assignment. I know. Yeah, forget it. I'll do it for you.
Starting point is 00:40:59 No, I'm done with that. You're going to have fun. Wait till you see. I'm going to devote myself to your fun. Uh-oh. Oh, boy. See, Robin caught on to it. She's like, uh-oh. We're going to have fun. He's going to plan a rigorous routine on how to have fun.
Starting point is 00:41:16 takes all the fun out of anything he's even going to come up with. Yeah, I had the solution. Leave her alone. Give her the credit card and then leave her alone. That's the solution to Beth having fun. Howard could probably benefit from like a PlayStation or an Xbox. Like if she just got him into something, he'd be sitting there playing video games all day. He'd be playing chess.
Starting point is 00:41:36 Yeah. PlayStation. Kinky Loco is in our Discord right now. And somehow he just got the stream yard link for Stuttering Johns. big birthday extravaganza, a 60th birthday show that he's doing right now. So if anyone wants to pop on John's show, you can get the link in our Discord
Starting point is 00:41:54 or the live show chat channel. I'll send it to somebody. Sorry, yeah, send it along. Somebody just found that. That's fun. What does bring Beth Joy? Do you think Howard will know the answer to this? He should.
Starting point is 00:42:07 He would think. What's one thing that I said, that I love more than anything? Going out to dinner. No, that yes. And I will take you. What makes me alive? What makes me, what thrills me?
Starting point is 00:42:19 When I put my penis inside of you. Correct. But what brings me such? When am I in the best mood when what? I spend a day where? With me. I don't know. In Manhattan.
Starting point is 00:42:31 Whenever I go into the city, all day long, I text him. I am back home. I am in my element. I hate Manhattan. I love the vibe of the city. It's just the best. And you're like, oh, I hate the city. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:45 Doesn't that tell you everything you need to know? What brings me the most joy? Being with me? Sex with me? Dinner with me? You're not in it. When I'm having fun, you're not there, man. You can not figure that out.
Starting point is 00:43:00 This is funny, too. This is a real tale about how exhausted Beth is being married to Howard. Yeah, it turns into about you and your misery with the city, not my joy of the city, but that's okay. No, I'm going to enjoy it now. It's all about you and your comfort. And I'm in, I've, that's my life for 20. How many years have we been? How many years will we've been together?
Starting point is 00:43:20 25. Oh, my goodness. 25 years, I know you. That's not a good side. How long has it been 25 years? Oh, God. Oh, my goodness is very telling. Very telling.
Starting point is 00:43:30 Oh, my God. I didn't think it was that long. And then this goes back to, I'm telling you, this is an abused spouse. And I do mean mentally, verbally, but you can tell from this. And I look forward to being with you every day. I hope you do the same with me. I just said that. All right, I'm just saying.
Starting point is 00:43:46 Am I done now? No. Can I go now? Nope. We're not done with this discussion yet. And then Howard, this is my last clip on here. Howard says the most awful thing that he could possibly say because now he's hurt. He didn't get the answer that he wanted.
Starting point is 00:44:03 Oh, you are fun. I'm just fucking around. Now he's hurt because it's been explained to him that he's not fun and why he's not fun. I don't know. I guess it upsets me that I'm not fun, but you're right. I guess I'm not fun. it's not I don't know how much fun
Starting point is 00:44:15 I don't know how much fun you are I mean I don't know that you're fun What is this about me? I'm trying to think What's so fun about you? You know what I mean? He has to lash out back at her
Starting point is 00:44:28 Oh I'm not fun You're not fucking fun bitch No you should see me dance until three I'm at my reunion I was having a lot of fun I'm going to ask a D or two as well A lot of people were having fun That night
Starting point is 00:44:40 So I just I found that, you know, when I get a peek into Howard's actual life, I'm always fascinated by that because so much of Howard's show is fake now that it's interesting when Beth comes on, and this is a real discussion they were having, and then Howard wants to rehash it. It's not understanding what she's saying. It was supposed to be, I was wrong, Howard, you're fun, this is great. I don't know why I said that.
Starting point is 00:45:07 And props to Beth for sticking to her guns and explaining to him that he's a, Pretty bad spouse at this point. You listen to more of the show than I did, MLP. What else did you pick up on? I know there was people calling in and talking about this later on. Yeah, they pretty much picked up and, you know, one guy called in and said he sounds exactly like his mother. Oh.
Starting point is 00:45:30 Just complaining and miserable all the time. That's a good call. Howard is definitely his mother. You know, his rebuttal to that would be that, you know, he's been doing this for 50 years and, you know, being fun and being the life of the party, He, you know, was his profession. So, you know, he doesn't care of living. Could you imagine?
Starting point is 00:45:49 Guys, I just want to turn it off for a minute, please. Why isn't he currently fun? He does fun for a living. You know, he's had to host parties with the lampshade on his head. He's going to around, playing the recorder. Yeah, he paid his dues. It's too much, too much at this point. Oh, it's hilarious.
Starting point is 00:46:08 All right, anything else? Any other thoughts on that before we move on? Just the one last thing I always think about is, like, you know, Beth was a model and she was all over the world in doing all kinds of fun things. Yeah. She was on David Letterman. She was meeting celebrities. And now the fun is like scooping cat shit.
Starting point is 00:46:27 And she loves that. Because it gets her away from him probably. Yeah. I think you're right about that. But you're right. Beth had a very exciting life. She's hot in a model and meeting all these people. And Howard, when they met, they were going to.
Starting point is 00:46:42 strip clubs together and how it was going out all the time and it's single howie and wow that changed quickly that's kind of a good move again it's an older couple thing where it's like well my life's over now i don't do these things so you need to stop doing those things too well i don't want to stop doing this no no you need to stop doing these things because i won't do these things anymore that resentment is building it is it is a powder keg that is waiting to explode Michael Gavin Ali's show coming in and says Why aren't Howard and Stuttering John become friends again Since they dislike Trump
Starting point is 00:47:16 Howard is an old 70 years Who should retire like 10 years ago Well said Michael He's a poet He always nail it with the grammar I don't think everyone who hates Trump Are friends with each other I'm not sure that's how politics or the world works
Starting point is 00:47:32 We are celebrating Jocktober This is exciting time of year for us here at WATP And we have a Jocktober themed show for you, including our Grinch of the week. Grinch of the week. Now, E. Rock, you set this over to me. 10-10 wins had
Starting point is 00:47:47 the incidents on the airwaves this week. So, I here's the thing. I was in the car when this happened and I was screaming because I was like, damn it, I'm not going to be able to get a cop. Who's taping a news station, right? It's not going to be archived. When I
Starting point is 00:48:04 finally got home, I'm looking at all. Somebody caught it and somebody recorded it. So I I grabbed it too. We did it on our show. 10-10 wins. If you're not familiar, it's the most famous and the biggest listen to news talk station in the United States. It's in 22 minutes, they give you the world, which is their slogan. They have hundreds of listeners. Hundreds. It's amazing. So, yeah, news, sports, weather, all of that stuff.
Starting point is 00:48:29 And then repeats every 20, 22 minutes, something like that. So they are doing their regular broadcast. And I think they were throwing it to either the traffic or the weather. person and this has happened at other stations but usually it's like if a DJ's trying to queue up another song you'll hear another song playing while the song is live on on the station so you'll hear that kind of thing or sometimes the hot mic is happening and they say something that shouldn't have been said in the background but it goes out over the air this is different this is in that vein but this is something that you would never think would happen especially at a news talk
Starting point is 00:49:08 The freeze the rate.com. Greg Rice 10-10 wins at 92.3.m. Let's get a check of your acuity weather forecast. Here's meteorologist Brian Thompson. After another pretty warm day today, Lori, it is going to be cooling off quite a bit over the next few days, including tonight. The breeze is going to be picking up,
Starting point is 00:49:26 and it is going to be cooler as it turns out cleared apart the cloudy. No, yes. Dude, are you coming right now? I have. I just don't look at it. Oh, God. Unplug it, maybe? I don't know.
Starting point is 00:49:38 I don't know where that's coming from, Greg, but it seems to be we have another station on the air here. What is? I can't even know. I like how she's, her cover of is another station's coming in. If another station's coming in, it's something in-house. So that means the other four or five stations, someone's playing a porn clip. Right.
Starting point is 00:49:57 Yeah, someone's coming on the other stage. I'm going to shoot over there. Try this again. We're getting a lot of interference right down on the line, but we're going to try to connect now with Accuweather's Brian Thompson. Brian. So I was letting that play the whole time. That was all dead air.
Starting point is 00:50:11 They were just like, shut it all down. Shut it down. Oh, yeah. So, yeah, there was at least 10 seconds of dead air, which is, you know, not unheard of, maybe in a smaller market, a smaller station or something. But New York City, one of the most listened to stations in the country, and they just hit everything on the board. They slammed it all off.
Starting point is 00:50:31 And for like 10, 15 seconds, there's dead air as they're trying to figure out where that porn clip is coming from. So it's not actually porn. You found out what the source material was. I'm not going to play the clip because I don't want to copyright strike, but you want to explain what that was? Right. So listening to that, if you didn't recognize who would,
Starting point is 00:50:51 it sounds like a porn clip because she's like, are you coming right now? And she goes, oh, yeah, don't look at me. And then you hear it go, oh, oh, it sounds like a porn clip. Oh, I'm so hard. I remember you here. But what it turns out is there's some Canadian show that's on Netflix called Working moms. It's made by Ivan Reitman's
Starting point is 00:51:09 daughter. She writes, creates, stars in the whole thing there. And there's a scene where she goes to something that's called like an aqua massage. It puts you in a machine and the water is just shooting at you from all directions. And she just starts having orgasms from the water,
Starting point is 00:51:25 you know, hitting her in all these directions, stuff like that. So somebody was watching Netflix in another studio and potted it up because the computer was patched into the board rather than you know, just put it in audition or listen on their own and it just went all over the place.
Starting point is 00:51:41 Yeah, that's the worst possible timing for that to happen during the show. Actually, what I think we should do is check in with my buddy, Tom. You know, it's no different than, you know, police officer running to the scene of a crime or a firefighter running into a burning
Starting point is 00:51:57 building. It's what I do. Tom Myers versus the rest of the world is back, baby, after a summer break. themselves. They are back with season six. Tom Myers is joined by panelists, Polite Kitty, Alison Chadwick, Lucy Straussbaugh, and Joe Gorman, original air date, the 2nd of October, 2025. Brand new episode, of course, Tom does a political show, and he leans very heavily to the left. He's had all summer to write jokes for this show. And you can tell that because he goes back to things that happened months ago. True. So I would imagine.
Starting point is 00:52:35 imagine he's probably been honing these jokes and really just making sure they're perfect. Word economy's right. The punchline punches. Everything's hitting. It's probably been rehearsing it. So he's going to do a great job presenting these jokes. This is the first one on season six after being off for months. Hello and welcome to a brand new season of Tom Myers versus the rest of the world. A lot has been going on since we were last with you. As we're recording this were a few hours from a potential government shutdown. So if no spending bill has been passed by the time this episode drops, welcome newly furloughed federal employees. You can join your fellow former co-workers who joined us this past spring in listening to the show and hearing us shit on your old boss.
Starting point is 00:53:24 Okay, so the government shutdown. So this is actually something that's new in the news. I'll give him a pass on that. He thinks that because government employees, federal employees are being furloughed that they're going to start listening to his show and he's going to have more listeners now was that the conclusion he came to from this came off that way yeah it was a hearty welcome to them was that like when they got their papers where they're like all right you're going to have some time off we'll we'll pay you eventually you're just being furloughed in the meantime there's this podcast the rest of the world check it on that all right so this is a joke going back to the big beautiful bill that was passed months ago.
Starting point is 00:54:06 The big beautiful bill was passed by Congress. It's only beautiful if you enjoy having your eyes drilled out of its sockets and your nuts tased. Of course, we were all lucky that it passed. Let's go back to that. What the fuck? It's only beautiful if you're like having your nuts tased? How do you connect those two things? Yeah, he finally gets the economy of words there, and it's a non-joke.
Starting point is 00:54:31 It just doesn't connect. The setup and the punchline just don't connect at all, but he gets zero response, which I appreciate it. It's like he writes a bunch of setups and then it's like, here's random responses that I have that I could try to connect somewhere. And then he just draws it on his board and go, well, I haven't used these two. So I'll just throw it into that. And hopefully that all works out. That would actually be brilliant. What if there was a comic who came up and did just like what Tom Myers is doing?
Starting point is 00:54:56 Like a dartboard. And yeah, you hear all these setups and all these punchlines and none of it connects. And then he goes, oh, shit, I had this backwards. And then he does that exact same act, but actually with the real set-ups and punchlines. And some people are going, oh, okay, now it makes a... This is what Tom should do, is actually learn how to write these jokes at some point and then do them correctly. He should watch the Funny Bot episode of South Park. Right.
Starting point is 00:55:16 It's just word salad. Yeah. It's only beautiful if you enjoy having your eyes jolt out of its sockets and your nuts tased. Of course, we were all lucky that it passed when it did. If House Speaker Mike Johnson had gotten any more excited about it, he would have gotten an erection and told his son. That got a good reaction right there. That's good stuff.
Starting point is 00:55:40 That was a nervous reaction because she wasn't expecting erection to be said. It had nothing to do with the setup, the structure. Oh, yeah. Tom is shocking. He's a shock comedian. Be careful with him. This joke makes no sense. Listen closely.
Starting point is 00:55:55 Tell me what the fuck is going on here. It's the first thing big and beautiful that Trump has proposed that he has a called a fat pig. That was the perfect reaction for that. Is he talking about Rosie O'Donnell? It's the first thing, listen to this again. It's the first thing big and beautiful that Trump has proposed that he hasn't called a fat pig.
Starting point is 00:56:23 The first thing big and beautiful, Trump has proposed that he hasn't called a fat pig. Anyone? No one? No one comes? I mean, I'm assuming he's saying Rosie O'Donnell's beautiful? Mr. Chris is like, there's no way that's it.
Starting point is 00:56:37 All right, I'm sorry, I'm trying to figure out who else is he called a fat pig or what else is he called a fat pig? I don't know. He never talks about E. Rock. Hey. He's sitting right there, dude. I'm right here.
Starting point is 00:56:51 Okay, so this UN speech jokes come in now, and this gets the flattest reaction ever. Donald Trump gave a speech at the United Nations. Before his speech, the escalator broke down As if even it knew that Trump was going to say something shit stupid And boy was that escalator right Trump's speech to the UN is basically the United States Giving a worldwide platform to that relative at Thanksgiving
Starting point is 00:57:18 Who gets drunk and angry about a Facebook post from the Lincoln Project Mm-hmm Mm-hmm It's like the escalator knew his speech was going to stink Uh-huh. and then it was right. It did stick. Okay.
Starting point is 00:57:34 Which makes me right. Holy shit. His guests aren't listening. They're just hearing the rhythm while they do something else. They're on their phone. They wait for the pause and then go, uh-huh. Uh-huh. Yeah, you're right.
Starting point is 00:57:47 When he says, you know, the escalator knew he was going to say something stupid, give an example. What did Trump say during that speech that was so stupid and then make a joke out of it? This isn't difficult to do. Tom is so low level on his political commentary. He just thinks he can say, like, yeah, Trump gave his speech. He said dumb stuff. Everyone was going to be like, you got it, Tom. That's it.
Starting point is 00:58:07 That's what happened. All right. We're back. Yeah, like, okay. Also, you heard there at the end, he's like, oh, it's like your uncle reacting to a Lincoln project, Facebook post. You know, the family members who are conservative, those losers are always flying off the handle of dinner parties and family gatherings. He's the only one. that I can think of
Starting point is 00:58:30 that over explains throwaway references. Like when something comes up, you have a reference to a TV show, a movie, a situation, whatever. He goes that, you know, if you just said the one person, sometimes people were like, oh yeah, that situation means that person. He has to break down
Starting point is 00:58:46 the explanation for the threat. It's like, you've ruined any part of this conversation. I don't want to talk to you anymore. Yeah, it's very specific. Like, it's not just like mad about something they saw on Facebook. It's like, no, a post from the Lincoln Project, which by the way, is left-wing propaganda, and that's why. Anyway, so he has a joke right after that with pretty much the same punchline. We now have to answer to other world leaders because of that
Starting point is 00:59:10 speech. It's the diplomatic equivalent of saying, now what grandpa really meant to say was so again, another dumb relative who says dumb things at Thanksgiving. And probably a joke that was recycled from the time Biden was in office. They were like, well, what grandpa meant to say. So he heard that somewhere else and just repurposed it. Yeah. And it didn't get a reaction, even though everyone's rooting for Tom and this, which tells you everything you need to know. And so this next one offends me, and I'm not even a stand-up comedian, but I just hate the way Tom lumps himself in with this fine profession.
Starting point is 00:59:49 One analyst referred to it as the equivalent of a stand-up comedy show. haven't comedians taken enough of a beating in just the last few months alone why burden us further by comparing us to this shit if anything trump's UN speech is more akin to an open mic set just with the racism and xenophobia being more subtle I hate that someone said it was like a stand-up performing it's not like us whoa whoa whoa top I mean let's cool your jets on how you're a stand-up comedian
Starting point is 01:00:22 he works at a restaurant you know he's he's trying to get super chat to get uh get chad zubach to pay attention to him yeah it's it's his stand up is mostly like somebody he's trying to do some kind of spoken word commentary or poetry and then if he just gives what he thinks is the comedic inflection and the delivery then it automatically becomes stand-up comedy and it's not yeah i've always said if if you were a foreigner and you watch tom do his stand-up set you'd be like, oh, that's a stand-up comedian, because he does deliver as if they're jokes. You know, the delivery's right. The material's not.
Starting point is 01:00:58 It's like, well, that's not funny or make any sense. So why would anyone laugh at that? He's the only one that comics will tell me, it's like, maybe you should write less. Right. Yeah, tone it down a bit, write less, and just kind of wing it more. But then he also says, it's actually more like an open mic. It's like, okay, it's kind of the same thing. But with more xenophobia or whatever it was, like, again, give an example.
Starting point is 01:01:21 I'm not cutting any of this out. He's just like, Trump gave a speech at the UN and it sure did suck, and everyone knows it. One thing that he said or a concept that he had that you could talk about, he came up there and said the global warming is bullshit. You don't have a joke about that, Tom? A lot of people like to say things, and then it's not hard to pull clips anymore. Right. It's fairly easy to get a clip of anything. Well, this is the monologue, of course.
Starting point is 01:01:46 But still, you know, even when he's, and other shows do this too, they say things. like, well, where's the clip? Show the clip. Oh, we can't do that right now. We're not doing steel toke today, Eric. Oh, my God. Play the clip. They hate each other and they're the same people.
Starting point is 01:02:01 I know. Yeah, you're right. Tom tries to fuck with Aaron. Although Tom hasn't gotten arrested. He's not going to jail or anything like that. Yet. I'll give him that. Tom would have to have a girl actually show nudes to him in order for him to perform revenge
Starting point is 01:02:18 porn or pull that off. What the hell is that? What's a nudes? All right, so Elon Musk, of course, is an enemy now because, you know, who's part of Trump's cabinet for a little while. Elon Musk is no longer at the White House. He has formed the America Party, which is how he and his fellow racist neurodivergence describe a Fourth of July get-together. Oh, my God. Now, here's my question for you.
Starting point is 01:02:45 I'm not paying as close of attention. Maybe I should be. Is Elon Musk a racist? Is that a thing? Because the problem that he had with Trump was that he wanted to have that visa where they can bring more brown people over for tech jobs. Like he was trying to bring over like lots more brown people to help us out with our tech companies and building up that sector. But he's racist now? He's a lot of things.
Starting point is 01:03:12 I don't think racism is something that you go to describe Elon Musk. Yeah. He did leave Africa. But who can blame him. Oh, here's a fantastic joke. It's a punchline that has been nuanced to a way that you've heard this joke before, but Tom has figured out a new way to tell it. The Justice Department issued an indictment against former FBI director James Comey.
Starting point is 01:03:35 The indictment was only two pages as that suits Trump, since his attention span is that of a dying goldfish, who knows it's about to be flushed. Love that. His attention span is that of a dying goldfish that knows it's about to be flushed. Do goldfish have that concept in their head about being flushed? Are they told from a young age? By the way, once you get to a certain age and it's not going well for you anymore, we will be flushing you with the toilet.
Starting point is 01:04:04 Yeah. That knows it's about to be flushed. Damn it, I knew it. I'm a fucking idiot. Does he get paid by the word? No, he gets paid. He doesn't get paid at all. There's no payment happening here.
Starting point is 01:04:17 All right, let's, this is another nonsensical one that guys, Help me out. Listen closely. Tell me what I'm missing here. White House Bordersar, Tom Holman, was found to have accepted a bribe from undercover FBI agents before the election last year. They gave it to him in a giant paper bag, which just shows how out of touch with the modern world this guy is. I mean, how old is this guy? Do we have to treat him like wily coyote and flatten him with a boulder? Okay, so he took a bribe that was given to him in a paper bag because he's old. And how old is he? Do we have to treat him like Wiley Coyote?
Starting point is 01:04:55 And flatten him with a boulder. How old is this guy? Let me give a reference that's 70 years old. Is that what? Is that what that is? Because Wiley Coyote's been around for a long time? I didn't make that connection. I didn't either.
Starting point is 01:05:08 What does that Wiley Coyote have to do with this guy being old and getting a bribe in a paper bag? Anyone? I'm stretching. That's the only thing I could think of. It's like there's no other connection to this. Tom, come back on my channel. I have to ask you about that joke specifically. I want to play that joke for it.
Starting point is 01:05:25 We go, what were you thinking? What am I missing here? I need to know. Well, if you don't get it, Carl, you just don't get comedy. Well, it's probably true. So he's still talking about the borders are. Tom Haman. Tom Homan responded to the allegations by saying he gets threats and he doesn't even live with his family anymore.
Starting point is 01:05:44 That just shows the only person really happy that Tom Homan is the Borders are is Mrs. Homan. God of his family hates him too Pretty good stuff I feel like you guys are not getting any of these jokes And I'm playing them with the setup And the punchline all in tag I know I think you guys would be laughing over here Or Tom's projecting because maybe his family doesn't like him either
Starting point is 01:06:08 Probably He's not fun I mean what kind of family we talk about He just has parents All right so this tag after that joke gets nothing Of course being forced to leave his home is fitting, given that's his policy on immigrants in this
Starting point is 01:06:24 country. Okay. Wow. I mean, that's such low-hanging fruit for these people. You'd think they'd be like, all right, Tommy, yeah, you tell them, and they're just like exhausted at this point. He didn't even give them a chance to go, uh.
Starting point is 01:06:41 Yeah, he just, like, he just, he cut him off at the past, saying, like, this, all right, this is, this is bad even for me. And what's odd about this? So, that nervous laughter that he has when jokes, Bob, so you're going to hear that here and then you're going to hear an edit going into the next joke, but why not edit out the nervous laughter?
Starting point is 01:06:57 So this is the end of the last clip going into the next clip. Tom Holman's bribe should have come with one of those exploding die packs. That way, when he opened that paper bag, it would have improved his complexion. I love that.
Starting point is 01:07:12 It's a reaction to a joke. Hmm. I suppose that's true. So you can tell this show is highly edited. It's not live. it's always exactly 30 minutes he edits the hell out of the shit why not edit out the time when you go nothing nothing guys okay because it's still a laugh oh right it's like the opi thing where it's like
Starting point is 01:07:32 people are laughing must be good must be fun stuff and if it's if he's never live it's always edited why does he need seasons why does he need time off or the summer off to do this i don't know man that's another great question and why does he make these people sit through his monologue just pre-record it and pop it in and then start your show. If he started putting that laugh track that most podcasts play when they emphasize their own jokes or whatever, if he just did that without them, that would actually be better. Like, that's the guy who should be using that clip all the time after his jokes.
Starting point is 01:08:08 You know, uh, the escalator thought that Trump was going to say some stupid shit. Yeah. And it turns out the escalator was right. See how easy that is? So much better. Thank you. All right. Last clip I have on here.
Starting point is 01:08:28 So again, always be bashing Trump. That's going to work out very well. And finally, former President Joe Biden announced he had bone cancer. Trump responded by saying that Biden had stage nine cancer. Oh. Of course, he got confused as stage nine is his level of dementia. And well, on that note, on with the show. This is where I get confused about this side of the aisle, where they go, Trump is Hitler.
Starting point is 01:08:59 He's going to destroy our world. And this is fascism. Then they go, he's also a senile man. There's no idea what's going on. Well, okay. Well, which one is it? I don't know if it can be both, but the jokes seem to be either way. You might want to isolate that last, ha, and use that.
Starting point is 01:09:16 Every now and then when a joke falls flat for somebody else, just give a pause and then hit that. All right, we'll hear that again. Yeah, it's pretty good. Miss Craboppel. Right. Pretty good stuff. So anyway, Tom's back.
Starting point is 01:09:31 We're happy about that. And hopefully, you know, he probably hasn't worked these muscles in a little while, so he's a little out of shape. But now he's starting to write these monologues again. We'll get some jokes that make a little bit of sense. Maybe are jokes. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:09:45 I'm optimistic. Yeah, we're pretty optimistic guy. Delusional. A delusional is another term you could use for it. What if Wiley Coyote didn't get smashed by the boulder? It was an Acme iron instead. Oh, yeah, you should have gone with the anvil. Yeah, the anvil.
Starting point is 01:10:00 The anvil would have been probably the right way. Then it would have been hilarious. Yeah, we just got to punch these things up, Tom. Run them by me, running by my office. We'll help working on it. I'll send him over to pad outs. Run them into the fake tunnel that the roadrunner painted on the boulder there. See?
Starting point is 01:10:15 That can only help, right? Well, there's T&T in the bag. No, we are. You can only do it once. All right, so we are celebrating Jocktober, my favorite time of year for us here on WATP. And E. Rock sent me something over a couple of months ago that this happened during the summertime. And I didn't talk about it then. I'm glad we saved it for this because one of the great bits that we learned about from the original Jocktober with Opie and Anthony was War of the Roses.
Starting point is 01:10:46 war of the roses is on in every market across the u.s everyone acts like it's their morning shows thing ryan cress has ryan's roses and the premise is a girl thinks the guy's cheating on her so they go okay we'll get to the bottom of this and they call up the guy and go hey you just want a dozen roses we'll send him whoever you want and the guy goes oh yeah send my mistress she's fucking hot and then the wife's on the phone like what the hell the mistress is hot what is that that explain that correctly Eric I think it's a better way to describe it yes it's the basic premise of this that's war of the roses and of course it's not well I was going to say they're actors but it's actually people in accounting and sales it's been around since the 80s yeah
Starting point is 01:11:32 that's it's all scripted it always works out the way they wanted to work out with the guy getting busted cheating and the woman freaking out and so what happened at your company I heart this passed over. What were they up to? So they were ramping up the fact that War of the Roses is now going to become a television series. Fuck. And then we're like, what? Really? That? And then it was announced, well, now it's an animated series. Wait, that's going to take even longer to do. And you're paying a lot of money for that. All right. So we hear this is coming. So I'm thinking, all right, remember the old show Dish Nation? Yeah. It used to have Scott and Todd on there for a bit and then had other shows that were around the country so they would cut back and
Starting point is 01:12:19 forth based on whatever the topics were to get different shows takes around the country. So I'm thinking, oh, it might be that because there's so many shows that do War of the Roses, especially within IHeart that they'll probably like, well, they'll take this one from New York, this one from Detroit, this one from D.C., whatever. Then as they're revealing more, oh, no, it's only going to be one show, and the show in New York is going to be the main focus for War of the Roses. So you're now telling the nation if they hadn't figured this out or if they even cared that, hey, you know that show you listen to in your market?
Starting point is 01:12:57 That's not their bit. This now is going to say, well, it's the guy in New York and all these other people are just recycling it or whatever they're going to do. So that's a bad decision. They put out a trailer and we'll ramping it up and hyping it up for their big release. I think you have the trailer. Yeah, let's watch the trailer. Pamela's a writer. A novelist, mostly for adults. You want to call Jim, right?
Starting point is 01:13:22 I have reason to believe that he might be cheating. Hello? How's it going? What's going on here? You having fun cheating? What the heck is this about? You're on The Roses. You've been caught cheating.
Starting point is 01:13:39 I don't even know what to do, but I got to do something. They're trying to make it look like it's an action show or something. The animation is ridiculous. There's explosions going on. And there's people undercover. It looks like a spy thriller. Yeah, it looks like Archer. Yeah, it looks like Archer.
Starting point is 01:14:00 It was like, no, it's just a fake prank phone call that they do. Yeah. So remember, this is a bit that they circulate through all their big shows around the country. And you could see the ending slate on that trailer. there that it says from the number one hit radio show in New York City. Fuck everybody else that's been doing this bit
Starting point is 01:14:21 forever. We only care about this one show. Also, as you pointed out, this has been going out since the 80s. They call it the hottest show on air coming to your screen. Is this still gaining momentum this War of the Roses? Well, here's when I found out. I couldn't, I was trying to figure out.
Starting point is 01:14:37 It's like, why now? Why are they trying to do this thing going into the summer with all of this? Apparently, because you know, TikTok. People on TikTok discover something that's old and they were like, you don't know about this. They put it out there. It's like, this is new to everybody else of that generation that's on TikTok. So these War the Rose's calls have been chopped up from all the different hosts around the country and are just, you know how TikTok does? They play audio, but then somebody's playing a video game in the top part or there's some weird, like somebody's
Starting point is 01:15:07 gardening. It's just, there's visual there that means nothing to what the audio is. these things started circulating and getting a lot of views for these War of the Roses calls because it's new to these young people so as a company does after it's already been successful and popular hey now's the time to strike and let's do something new and relevant with this somebody's going to think a long time to ramp up to too because we got to animate all this shit and put this all together so they're like get it out of the air now go go go they're like all right we'll get into production and you know a few months from now we'll start looking at some reels and
Starting point is 01:15:42 so the trailer there and it says July 24th at the end of that when they were going to launch the first episode. So I said, you know what? I thought I, because we did a big expose on our show over the summer talking about how terrible this is. And then when the first episode dropped,
Starting point is 01:16:03 we broke down the episode again, showing you how terrible all this is. So I was like, all right, let me see if I have the episodes there. And those episodes, some of them were anywhere from 13 to 30 minutes. Like, how do you stretch this bit that long, right? I can't find the full episodes. I was like, all right, I'll just go all back to the YouTube channel to pull them again and send them to you.
Starting point is 01:16:24 They shut it all down. Oh, no. It's only the July they started doing this. You have the link in the email to the YouTube channel. The YouTube still exists, but all the content has been wiped. Wow. From it. they put out eight episodes, and then from what I'm hearing, the reaction, the reviews they were getting were so negative that they scrapped the rest of this thing, to the point that you can't find these things anymore.
Starting point is 01:16:54 I'm just lucky I had the trailers for the episodes. Yeah. So I gave you those. You could play whatever ones you want. Let's watch another example of a trailer for one of these exciting episodes. Is there anything wrong with that? them saying real stories, real calls, real madness? I don't know how they, how they could do that because they are really phone calls, right?
Starting point is 01:17:16 Right. And the stories, I guess, probably are true, you know? Yeah, we wrote them. So they're definitely true. Yeah, they're stories. Tactically real stories. Dee, are you there? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:17:32 This is actually happening right now. She got a call from this guy, this man. He told Dee, her husband, is currently. in a motel, and this guy's apparently sitting out in front of the motel with the other guy. No, the husband? What's your husband saying? Who are her?
Starting point is 01:17:51 How's it going? You're having fun, cheating? Wow. Is that the exact same thing he said the last one said? Yeah. Having fun cheating? Yeah. Well, yeah, otherwise I wouldn't be doing it.
Starting point is 01:18:04 Got a lot of the line here. The sex is terrible. It's like they're trying to mix the storylines from those trashy romance novels used to see at the front of a supermarket or something with Fabio on the cover with the vibe and the lore of the murder porn true crime podcast that females love. So they're trying to mix that back together. It's like it feels like a true crime thing, but it's really the story of jealousy and no one ever died. No one gets beat up. Yeah, they're overselling it. It's like, War of the Roses is fine.
Starting point is 01:18:41 You know, you talk to some chick and she yells at her husband for a little while. And you're like, all right, that was satisfying. But it's not this. Whatever they're trying, let's watch one more example. I've watched these yet.
Starting point is 01:18:51 Whatever this is, that's not what War of the Roses is. I don't know how you consistently piss me off. You're running your mouth, babe. You're such a know it all. This is just a mute. music. This is what happened. Because I think there was only eight episodes
Starting point is 01:19:11 and then they scrub the thing. The first few trailers are them highlights of the call giving you the gist or whatever. Then they realize that's not working. So let's just animate it like a music video with a song about a girl who's been wronged. And then you get the last two trailers
Starting point is 01:19:26 are like this. It's been eight months since I've been able to go out. He's locked me inside the room. I found him cheating and he won't let me. leave the house. That's the bottom line right there. Oh, my goodness.
Starting point is 01:19:40 And here we go. Hello. Hi. If that were true, wouldn't you call the police and not a radio show? I'm being held captive right now. Like, would that be? You get one call. You get one call.
Starting point is 01:19:53 All right. I want to call Scott Todd. My name is Marie. And I'm calling me to let you know that we are delivering a dozen long stem roses. Listen, I don't want anything delivered to my house unless I'm there. I have to be there. And what about your wife, Connie? God, okay.
Starting point is 01:20:11 Well, they finally got to the fucking meat event where it's just being a roses delivered to a house. Connie? Roses? This war of the roses call led to busting open a worldwide human trafficking ring.
Starting point is 01:20:25 Right. That's what they're trying to make it seem like. It's like, yeah, you're overselling it. When people actually watch this, they're going to think it sucks. Yeah. So, yeah, this bit has been around forever. It's terrible.
Starting point is 01:20:36 The fun part was that trying to find the episodes and then realizing I had no idea they scrubbed the channel and you can't find the episodes anywhere anymore. You just have the trailers, but that's it. This thing that they spent, it looks like they spent, you know, a million or something dollars on this thing to get this all produced and ready and done for not, another waste of money for radio. I dropped the ball because E. Rock gave me a heads up on this. I could have grabbed these and we could have shown them and now they're gone forever. So that's my fault. I'll never make that mistake again. Next time, Eric says me something, I'll be like, this is probably going to go away any minute now.
Starting point is 01:21:11 Let me grab it immediately. I, but who could have predicted they would scrap the whole thing? That's ridiculous. And every time a new episode went up, it barely broke 300 views. You know what, though? All right, so you probably already done your due diligence on this. But what happens a lot with these companies is they're pushing this out to all their different platforms. There's probably a Facebook page.
Starting point is 01:21:35 or a rumble page, might not rumble, but, you know, there's something out there that has all these videos that people forgot to scrub it from. The dot com,
Starting point is 01:21:42 oh, no, yeah, you're right. The dot com just goes to the YouTube link. There's no web page, no middle section where, like, I went to look for that too. It's got to be embedded somewhere that I could rip it off a website.
Starting point is 01:21:54 It was nothing. All right. Well, I have a quick update for us on our mutual friend. You're the mad, for the man. You probably saw a recent video where the op-gifted his Rip Van Winkle bourbon in order to be friends with Matt at Gevhards. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:27 And did it live on the show and talked about how it's a $1,200 bottle of bourbon. Because he looked it up. This is the first time he's done it. It's not the first time he's out of it. In fact, Apeshit Media sent this TV. You'll remember this. He says,
Starting point is 01:22:40 yeah, listen to an old Opey and Anthony clip and I hope we did the exact same thing with Dr. Steve. Dr. Steve, yeah. And here it is. Dr. Steve sent me a very nice gift of
Starting point is 01:22:52 chocolates and things. Yeah, he's great. It was very nice. He's great. Steve rules. He sent me a really nice bottle of wine, even though I made it very clear.
Starting point is 01:23:01 I don't drink wine anymore. Oh. Was it a nice bottle or one of this homemade bottle? I went right to whine.com. It was impressive what he spent. Oh, yeah. Wow. No, actually, I do enjoy class here and there these days.
Starting point is 01:23:12 Thank you, Steve. Alex, what's up? So, yeah, Opie, no shame, and I went right to whine.com. And that's not even the first, that might have been the first time he brought it up, but there were other times Steve has sent stuff. And he did it live on the air. He pulled up the website or he had somebody pulled up the website, and he was scrolling down.
Starting point is 01:23:33 He goes, well, this distributor is selling it for. this and this one sell it like he was pricing it out anytime somebody gave him something he went immediately online to look to judge how much uh how generous this gift was to him and uh he would act accordingly based on how much the the bottle was he must be a joy on christmas oh god could you imagine he's just out his phone looking up everything if he wasn't sitting there alone he's terrible so yeah many christmas is ago when you're family right yeah good point he he always regift stuff like he's notorious for it. A long time ago,
Starting point is 01:24:09 there was a time when everybody on the show was into that show lost. You know, it was like the first few seasons. We would bring it up. We would talk about it. Jimmy used to hate watch it and that made it funny because he would just explain everything he hated about the show. Everybody watched the show
Starting point is 01:24:24 except for him. So we got him the box set at the time for the first season. Like here, just sit down and watch it. I'm sure you'll like it. You can join the rest of us in there. He re-gifted it to somebody in his family. What an asshole. And then we started having
Starting point is 01:24:40 all the people from the show on our show had no idea, wouldn't watch it. He purposely will not do things if you ask him to do it because he needs to be anti. He needs to be the guy that doesn't follow the rule. No, he's a lazy motherfucker who refuses to prep to the show. We all know that. He's so lazy.
Starting point is 01:24:57 He came to watch a TV show. Everyone's enjoying at the time. No, it sounds like show prep. I'm off the clock. I don't want to do that. But like in Jimmy case, Jimmy was the exact reason why we didn't. We all liked the show until it really fell off, you know, the cliff. But Jimmy would watch it and hate it, but hate watch it. So he knew what to make fun of and he knew what to criticize because he watched it. Everybody watched it for whatever reason except for him. He regifted the box, the first season box set to somebody in his family. Then over the years, we started to see the thing where if alcohol or wine was being, he had to look it up. If a gift was brought to him, he had to look it up. If a gift was brought to him, he had to look it up. on the phone and then while we've moved past that he'll find what he needed and then he'll say so this thing was only $80 huh what they're already talking about something else he goes that's crazy thing you you brought this could be a new show called War of the Bourbon
Starting point is 01:25:48 where Opie's wife is like hey I like bourbon I'm giving it to Matt what the up maybe a better example be Rod the waiter oh yeah he needs it yes he's to forget about life for a while Schaffer said the uh this he says uh he sent in a fun free chat that opi decided to read and uh it got opi a little bit upset and then there's a two dollar chat that scott sent in this is from yesterday morning stream of the opi radio podcast and it's pretty fun the way he reacts to this you get a deal you know it's the lesser of two evils i guess is what we're trying to figure out right can't see him uh oh i know these the sun's behind
Starting point is 01:26:34 him so he's just a silhouette i know so scott shaffer says the guy walking around live streaming being annoying now it's afu friday so or you know so it's like what annoys you so check this out uh scott shaper your effu is uh the guy walking around live streaming being annoying oh that's me isn't it scott clever what does he react this way it's a free chain doesn't put him on the screen it doesn't there's no reason for you get so upset I got some, I got some cash coming in. JFK, do you think you and Ron would do okay in a studio? Yeah, I guess.
Starting point is 01:27:15 I guess. Yeah, absolutely. And Scott also writes, oh, Scott, you're a hater. Are you here to hate, Scott? How many views does $2 buy? There are people out there that are, they're so obsessed with me. They think I buy views. And I'm here to tell you, I've always.
Starting point is 01:27:34 always told the truth. I don't buy views. That's a lot. I think, I know. We're going to discuss this. But I think one of the first times, Opies addressed this right here, where, oh, he's a hate, how many views did you buy? So I'm curious what he thinks is going on. They think I buy views. And I'm here to tell you, I've always told the truth. I don't buy views. I figured out a way to get more views on my live stream. And it has nothing to do with buying views. Then what is it? If you were figured out a way to get more reviews and it wasn't buying them, when you explain yourself at this point? Wouldn't this be a great tiny bag?
Starting point is 01:28:13 Actually, what I'm doing is. And why doesn't, oh, sorry. No, go ahead. Why doesn't that translate? He simulcasts his live stream between this and his Unleased channel. Yep. And look at the numbers on the Unleased channel. They're barely in the hundreds.
Starting point is 01:28:30 Right. But on his channel. 20 to 64,000 views depending on on which video it is of his life's only like 120 people watching at any given time or maybe 80 and he'll say to Ron the waiter while we have 30,000 views so far
Starting point is 01:28:47 in this video. I was like, there's 80 people watching. How is that possible? Where is he seeing these numbers? It's so bizarre. Due with buying views. Okay, so I hope I made that clear. And you spent $2 on that? Oh, God. Don, uh, did, uh, did you, did you miss, uh, the weird news? Weird news. Uh, we don't have any weird news in the, in, uh, in the papers today.
Starting point is 01:29:13 Yeah, Opie, he's calling you scorch. Do you not, do you not get the joke there where he's, he's calling you? Hey, where's the weird news segment. Some are on and some deranged stories that are very strange. Weird news. Hope he goes, no, there were no funny, weird stories of the paper today. In the papers. He had the papers. So stupid. And Mike Long just gives me $2.
Starting point is 01:29:37 And he's one of mine. Mike Long, he's not spending $2 to try to trash me. He just gives me $2 and says, just because, L.O.L. Thank you, Mike. I love seeing you on this thing every fucking morning.
Starting point is 01:29:50 I love seeing my people. All right, guys, I got to go. I'm turtling. You know, usually I got to go because I want to, you know, be there for my kids in the morning. But I'm going to be honest with you. What takes precedent today.
Starting point is 01:30:02 is I got to leave this live stream because I've been turtling for the last 40 minutes. Have a wonderful Friday. Bye. So that's interesting. He's in the Depend stage of his life. That could be true. Notice how he's like, oh, you gave me $2 for
Starting point is 01:30:18 that. And then he reads another shitty thing. Oh, $2. It's like, hey, this guy likes me. Give me two bucks. Thanks. That's pretty cool. So one out of three was a guy who I think enjoys Opie. And Opie had to point that out. I see this guy every morning. He's great. He's one of mine. He's one of my guys on here. That's what
Starting point is 01:30:36 Steeltoe does. Yes. If you send him, you could send five bucks and shit all over him and he'll have to sit there and lecture you about how you don't know anything, but you could also send five bucks and it's like, you know, keep your head up. He's like, see, he's one of the good guys. He gets it. He's smart. But does that encourage more positive responses or more negative? Because I would think that the fact that he complains every time he pulls up one of these $2 super chats, that makes fun of them or asking about buying views and stuff, that it only encourages more people to do that. Like, oh, he responds very negatively to this.
Starting point is 01:31:09 All right, cool. I'm going to do that, too. Yeah, there's been breakdowns in the comments. And during his life, I've been popping in there a lot lately just to see. And they're giving time estimates about what the viewer count will be for the video. They're like 20,000 by 10 a.m. And then 1115, it'll be that, like they're mapping the breakdowns of how the increments of views will be purchased.
Starting point is 01:31:32 just for each live stream he's doing. That's hilarious. I love that people are getting into that because it takes a long time for open to acknowledge things that are happening. Oh, yeah. He'll ignore them forever. He'll ignore WATP for years. And so now people are talking about it so much. He's like, oh, you guys talk about me buying views.
Starting point is 01:31:48 Like, now he has to give it to it, which is funny. Guys, we're celebrating Jocktober. I'm not done celebrating yet. I want to talk about Brooke and Jeffrey. And this Jeffrey guy is a character. He likes to sing parody songs on his rations. radio show, and they're up in Seattle. So you got this guy, Cal Riley.
Starting point is 01:32:06 Familiar with this guy? 60 home run season. Go out the big ass. Yeah. So they're excited about that because they're Mariners fans. And we have a hilarious parody song. Good golly, Cal Riley. And I know I probably shouldn't be saying this on the radio right now, but in the
Starting point is 01:32:24 eloquent words of Cal Raleigh himself. Say it. Say it. Why not just win the whole fucking thing? Yes. So good golly, cowlory, he's short-crossed the ball. A good-golly, cow raleigh, slug it over that wall, watch him run around the bases. Rump's dick is Butterball.
Starting point is 01:32:49 He's a swinging and a smiling, knocking baseball's out of sight, 60 homers on the season, what's he going to do tonight? Good golly, Cali, Cali. So not a joke to be had. The only one was the Butterball reference. because he's got a big ass. Other than that, it's just like he's swinging the bend and baseball's fire.
Starting point is 01:33:06 This dude is fucking corny. It sucks so bad. Snacket way to Nepal. Home runs and leave it all in. With Rick Riz on the call. With Rick Riz on the call when we're calling out the play-by-play guy? Holy shit.
Starting point is 01:33:24 This is a stretch. All the pictures are shaking as he steps up to the plate. Like Tom Brady with the football got the ice. Like Tom Brady with the football got the Astros to deflate. A little shoehorn. There's a lot of syllables in there, wasn't it? She really tried to keep up with the tempo on that one. Got his bubblehead doll.
Starting point is 01:33:48 Baby Ruth has awoken. Oh, there's a shoehorn. Babe a Ruth has awoken. Is that this the middle initial? A? Babe Ruth. Baby Ruth. His old wrecked
Starting point is 01:34:02 It's not to fall Jose Dance Break Hold on a second When did Babe Bruce record fall The 70s? Was it a Hank Aaron Who hit 61 to home runs And then it's been broken
Starting point is 01:34:15 Many times since then Well outdated reference Goes with the outdated song For this parody So Yeah that makes sense Let's do a 50 song Almost you know
Starting point is 01:34:25 70 something years removed from when that song came out Why not do anything relevant to what your audience would know for a parody song. And it's already broken the rule. Sorry.
Starting point is 01:34:38 It was already broken the rule of should be first verse, chorus, that's it. You don't need to do what is that? Two and a half minutes of this. It's worse than that,
Starting point is 01:34:48 E. Rock, because the instrumental break, they kept intact. No. And now they just go around and dance. Remember, this is a radio show.
Starting point is 01:34:55 This is a dance TV. This is a dance live-a-dard show. I might as well be. Jose dance break Go A good A good guy
Starting point is 01:35:18 A good garlic Cal Raleigh That dumper ain't small A good guy Galli Cal Raleigh BBL not at all Brazilian butt left reference, pretty good, edgy stuff. By the way, Tom Myers used to hire these people
Starting point is 01:35:36 because they're just chuckle fucking wrong with everything this fact says. This is what Tom Myers needs in the studio. Tom needs to do parody songs. Do you think he has musical talents? I'd like to hear that. I mean, he's having a great season. He's going to be number two probably in the MVP behind Judge. But like...
Starting point is 01:35:53 Okay. The Yankees fan has to make that point real quick. But he's having an incredible season. All they keep talking about is his ass. Right, yeah. This is not for sophisticated baseball fans, obviously. Unlike Alexis' die jump, his butt's unnatural. Hi, it's a kid.
Starting point is 01:36:12 Well, his helper was his coach. Oh, yeah, it's in his DNA. He will leave an upper decker, but not in the toilet way. The golly cowl it's falling. Whoa. Upper Decker reference. All right, I take it all back. These guys aren't edgy.
Starting point is 01:36:25 It gets a little blue. Yeah, wow. Turn off the wrong. radio up to you driving the kids to school. I'm talking about Upper Duckers over here. Kids, earmuffs. Earmuffs. Earmuffs. Got the fans all in the road.
Starting point is 01:36:38 Won't he bring that MVP home? Come and take a curtain call. Oh. It's calling the MVP on this, Mike. What do you think about that? Mike does not seem abused. Mike is not amused by this. All right.
Starting point is 01:36:54 Well, I think the best part of that is the lady with the glasses, the old lady that they can't get rid of to keep a younger audience um she doesn't know what to do nor wants to be a part of it when they cut to her she's like uh-huh like it's an effort for her to try to go along with this that's what you call a paycheck this woman is there because it is a paycheck and she'll stay there as long as she can i believe that's uh brook right of the brook and jeffrey show probably they're a syndicated show by the way oh well it's good that they're doing mariner's references then. Yeah, that's what I was trying.
Starting point is 01:37:30 When I saw that clip, I was like, I think they're in other markets. I go, it's like, yes, let's be specific to the town that we're in or the city
Starting point is 01:37:39 that we're broadcasting from because other cities audiences love hearing that. Yeah, I live in Tucson. I don't know who you're play-by-play guy is. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:37:47 Listen to the games. I'm sorry. This is a video for you, E. Rock. I'm glad that you're here with us. Because I don't know if you've seen this. Are you familiar with a guy named Pulper?
Starting point is 01:37:56 I don't think so All right So I'll play a little bit of this And then I'll explain what's going on guys There's a whole backstory here Okay Much attention in the past Because
Starting point is 01:38:10 Hey EROC This is Pulper I know that you have not given me Much attention in the past Because you probably thought that Like oh this guy's just a troll But I mean Of course I do troll
Starting point is 01:38:26 stuff and jokes and stuff. But, Eeroch, I want to meet you. I think that you and I are really very similar. We both like toys. Look, I have so many toys, and I bought them for you. Look, look, here's this one. And then there's this orange
Starting point is 01:38:42 one here. And then up here, I have a yellow one. And then there's motorcycles, too. And I... This guy's buying toys for you, Eric. You're not paying any attention to them at all? I guess. I'm more distracted by his terrible pajama pants but other than that um i can't tell if this is uh real okay so let me tell you who
Starting point is 01:39:03 this guy is because he reached out to me a few months ago and said hey man uh i had a terminal illness and you your show and some of the other shows in the devilverse got me through it and i want to repay you because i spent i don't know how long it was four months in the hospital or something he's like the only thing i had to look forward to is listen to your guy's shows and so i want to have a party in Vegas. And he wanted me and Rocco and Patrick Melton and the guy from 1 by 2, Blade, and a few other people to all go to Vegas. He's like, I'll pay you to hang out with me. We'll spend a weekend in Vegas.
Starting point is 01:39:39 And I said, well, you'll have to pay me to hang out with you, but I'm not going to pay for my own flight in hotel room. And he immediately sent me money in PayPal to party with him in Vegas. Jesus. Since that has happened, he's kind of gone to radio silent. And, you know, I messaged with, like, Rocco and Patrick and stuff. I'm like, what's going on with this party we're doing in Vegas? I'm looking forward to going out there. And I even emailed him recently, and I didn't get any response.
Starting point is 01:40:03 Apparently, it's supposed to be happening next weekend is when he's already got these sweets rented at the Venetian, and we're all supposed to be hanging out. He's got these sweets that, two sweets, each of them sleeps eight people. Now, there's speculation that because he has a terminal illness, and he seems to be losing his mind that this could be like a Jonestown massacre type of thing where we all show up and I like Kool-Aid, you know, I'll drink whatever you give me. That's been my experience with life. I just say yes to things and go along, which I'm like, that's how Villaroma happened.
Starting point is 01:40:40 Sure, let's deal. Let's see what happens. So I don't know. This could be one of my last podcasts. I'm so waiting for Pulper to get back to me. But he seems like he's on the up and up. No, honestly, they were playing this on B-Dabbler this morning. and Pulper sent it a $100 super tip
Starting point is 01:40:56 and said, I'm not going to hurt anyone. I'm not hurting myself or anyone else. The toys are safe. Yeah, so I think we're going to be good. Left them in the box. I know how you like to leave stuff in the box. And this one, I did take out of the box, but it's okay.
Starting point is 01:41:15 It's pretty good on a standby and so you could put it on top of the box then. And then there's... These are the kind of toys that you like are that E. Uh, I, no, I don't have anything to do with cars or motorcycles, but I'm not saying no. Okay, you know, yeah, yeah, I'm entertaining this. Sure, okay. There's more box ones. Like, look, this is like some sort of Kawasaki ninja, I think.
Starting point is 01:41:37 And you like ninjas. Um, so, uh, and I know you like video games. And I like video games too. Um, see, I have a, I have a switch. I have two switches. And then I like retro stuff. And, and you also like retro stuff. See, there's, remember Street Fighter?
Starting point is 01:41:54 I play this a lot. And whenever I play E-Honda, I think of unicorns that run around and make people happy. So, and then here's Dragon Warrior. We're all Warriors of the Dragon. That's who we were born to be, as the Warriors of the Dragon. So we can hang out. I want you to come to my Vegas party because I'm throwing a party in October for all the comedians who made me laugh.
Starting point is 01:42:21 when I was in the hospital and I was in really bad shape and but you made me laugh too um just like all the other guys um kind of like all the other guys but but you did make well not really but that was it all delivered yeah who canceled that he's trying he already paid for that he's like well I'll just have I got to put somebody else in that so I bet you'd find an email or two from this guy if you looked through your inbox I don't feel like he reached out to you I this is the first I'm hearing of it but I would Gladly look now. All right.
Starting point is 01:42:52 Do you want to hang out in Vegas with me next weekend? With this guy? If he's paying for it. Okay, see? All right. We're all on the same page here. Why not? Although, Eric, you have a family.
Starting point is 01:43:03 I don't know. I don't know if you should be doing this kind of thing. Well, they're not fun. So, you know, I like to go out and do fun things. He said, yes, Carl. Jesus. And I know that you need a health so we can eat healthy meals. We can have our vitamins.
Starting point is 01:43:18 He's got you confused with someone else. Never mind. As soon as I hit Vegas, I'm going to In-N-Out and White Castle. I'm doing the Rocco tour. Yes. God, that White Castle is so fucking overrated. It's an hour-long line to get a burger there that gives you diarrhea. Well, I didn't eat any of the burger, so I don't know.
Starting point is 01:43:38 But that is what was reported back to me. Allegedly. I don't know. I don't know what's going out over there. All right. Well, I'm pumped to be on the last WATP. Oh, well, yeah. Yeah, right.
Starting point is 01:43:50 The last ever weekend episode of WATP, glad you'd be here, MLP. Guys, this is the producer Chris show. Welcome. Dude, I think this will make national news if he takes out a bunch of us podcasters all at once and himself. We all show up there, right? It's like a banquet style, like from one of the godfathers. And then a helicopter just shows up at this big bay window and it's stuttering John. And he just picks all of us out.
Starting point is 01:44:17 This is going to make news. This is very exciting. Speaking of Stuttering John. Happy birthday, Stuttering John. He's 60 years young today, October 4th, 2025. And he's got his Gryftathon going. he was going to have he let this out of the bag yesterday
Starting point is 01:44:54 because he was talking about having a special guest on for his big birthday show it was going to be Lardiff I was going to say Cardiff Lardif same guy was going to be given the invite and John was contemplating it
Starting point is 01:45:08 and then he went I don't know that guy's been a real jerk to be over the years he has to mull it over Yeah he literally he literally goes I thought about it like nah not wait a minute
Starting point is 01:45:18 this guy's a jerk I'm going to forget about that. So, John's birthday today, of course, he's trying to get as much money as he can for his birthday. And then he claims this is his last ever podcast. It'll go off the air again. Doesn't sound like you're buying. I tell his channel's about to be demonetized and he'll show back up again. Yep.
Starting point is 01:45:43 Doesn't sound like people are buying this. Or Monday. Well, as you guys know, I'm involved. in a very frivolous lull suit with Suttering John right now, as is my buddy Shulie Agar from the Uncle Rico show. And they did something fantastic last night on the Uncle Rico show. They had Anthony Kumia on, and they were promoting our GoFundMe, which you can find it's Fight the Dabbler.com.
Starting point is 01:46:09 This is our GoFundMe, and it's cranking right now. We appreciate that. We're up to over $17,000 raised for our legal fee. Oh, shit. This is crazy. All right. We have a competition. going on right now that's that's very exciting so anthony kumia put in a thousand dollars last night

Starting point is 01:47:01 I was on top for almost a whole day. That's amazing. Thank you, Chris. Appreciate it. Robert Buy a Gitch, $300 bucks. Brian Kowalchik, $250, David Clements, David Woolman, Sarah Hills. A. Lang, Arty Lang, gave us $200. That's nice.
Starting point is 01:47:18 Matthew Nicholson, Tom Wauditsky, Todd Woditsky, Susan Schmidt, some anonymous coming in. So thank you all who have contributed to this. We've had over 260 donations already coming into the GoFundMe. No one's going to dare top Dan Varnie. They wouldn't dare. No, that would be rude. Yeah. No one would think that's going to happen for sure.
Starting point is 01:47:44 So this was great. And also thanks to Dave Daffler, who's. said that last night he would match any donation that came in, which really got people donating, contributing. So thank you very much for that, Dave. And everyone has contributed so far, no matter how much you've contributed, it's helped. We are getting sued by Suttering John. And so Anthony Coomia on the Uncle Rico show last night was talking about how he wanted Suttering John to sue him. And Anthony tweeted out to the Cape Coral Police that John drives drunk on Sundays. And he tagged the Cape Coral Police in this post.
Starting point is 01:48:18 The reason why he did that is because John has been tweeting at W.A.B.C. and saying that Anthony's racist and he should be fired. So John's trying to get Anthony fired from his radio job. And in return, Anthony's pretending he's trying to get John arrested for driving drunk. Now, it's so ludicrous and ridiculous. You can't tweet at a police department and tell them to pull people over. Yeah. It's just not how that works. But John got very upset about this, as we'll see. coming up but first i wanted to show you anthony on with um shulian the gang last night talking about wanting to get sued law license that i swear to you if a a process server comes here to serve me with the john melinda's uh subpoena or a fucking lawsuit or anything i will invite him in we'll drink we'll sing karaoke yeah i i will have so much fun
Starting point is 01:49:18 with this guy because it will be the beginning of the greatest fucking segment of now of the dabble verse that i'm involved in please john please sue me i'm begging you to sue me i know can i just suggest something i know how john works john how much does coomia have to pay you for you to sue him what's the number right let me try john if you don't you're a pussy boy oh by the way even if he sues me I'll still pay for his law school
Starting point is 01:49:56 if he's not the kind of guy are you defamation is the act of harming someone's reputation by making a false statement of fact about them it can be written so now they're pulling up clips from John show on Thursday and he's talking about suing Anthony for defamation
Starting point is 01:50:16 and of course he goes to Google Gemini or whatever the AI thing is here to read what defamation is as if no one knows about this right what's this defamation thing you're talking about so they're having a laugh at this because John doesn't realize that you can't
Starting point is 01:50:31 harm his reputation more than he has harmed it to prove defamation must be false to a third party a k a Twitter and caused damage to the press for reputation yes he's trying to get
Starting point is 01:50:48 pulled over i got news for you when you go out of your way to cut the sleeves off your shirts you have no reputation that can be damaged all right it's all you're already damaged that's great i'm trying to get him pulled over that that isn't even a thing if you're weaving over the double yellow if you're not stopping for a stop sign or a stop line they will pull you over for being drunk if Someone saw what I said, which is, this is John Melendez. He drives drunk, especially on Sunday. And they see the plate and the car and go, oh, for some reason, I'm an Anthony Coombea fan. I've seen what he said.
Starting point is 01:51:35 Let me put my lights on, pull this guy over, and see what it's all about. Is that me? I don't think that's me. If you're sober, what do you have to worry about? but you're fucking drunk you drive drunk john yeah not to mention you know you still have to be drunk once you get pulled over so he may be right like he may be the first guy to ever get a DUI and then sue you for getting him pulled over while he was drunk surely there was a there was a new year's eve all right so he goes into a time he was trying to get pulled over
Starting point is 01:52:16 is sober. That's exactly what I was thinking. It's like John gets pulled over from his own accord. And then he sues Anthony while he's undergoing, you know, jail time and everything else for his, DWI. No, no, I never would have been caught driving drunk had Anthony not ratted me out to the police. Oh, he'd be complaining to the police while he's doing the field sobriety test. Oh, yeah. But can you put one foot in front of the other? I could, but Anthony got me pulled over and I would sue him. The way John's acting in that little clip there, John's probably thinking like, oh, they're going to set up a speed trap
Starting point is 01:52:50 or they're going to be tailing him, like, you know, Henry Hill in Goodfellas. Helicopters are going to be following John down the interstate. He's looking around. So Anthony's really trying to antagonize him on the show. Do. No. I think he's drunk every second he drives.
Starting point is 01:53:07 There you go. Put that in the fucking lawsuit. So, so, because John's going, I don't drive drunk. I've never drive drunk, all this shit. And so Anthony goes, you know what? Maybe just saying he drives drunk isn't enough to get a lawsuit. Maybe I'll take it a little bit further.
Starting point is 01:53:23 Which was harm to reputation. The statement damage to person's... Good luck proving that. This guy pursue it one time. It's amazing. John, please, please. I beg you. I won more than anything.
Starting point is 01:53:43 for you to fucking sue me please there are people that they do not want to work this is their career path is to find a case find some sort of lawsuit get some sort of company up against the ropes and have them settle and they get a payday and and that's their game this is his dream job is to win a court case to win money in the court yeah this is john's version of slipping in supermarket. Yeah. I'm going to post. I'm going to post on my Twitter, which has a fuckload of followers. I'm going to post. And this has nothing to do with you or this show. This is my personal, what I'm saying, I'm going to post on that is that John Melendez raped a woman in Las Vegas. That's, there it is. I know this for fact. I'm posting it.
Starting point is 01:54:43 And that's the fact now. And now it's true. Go ahead. Go ahead. John, balls in your court, I guess. Balls in your court, motherfucker. Sue me, you dumb fucking retard. Well said.
Starting point is 01:55:00 Wow. Yeah. So, Anthony's coming in guns and blaze, and he's looking for a lawsuit. He wants to get out of the action. Anthony's very indifferent on most of things in life. Like, he has very few things that he's extremely. passionate about. I'm glad to see him diversify his portfolio and finding new channels and new things to enjoy life more. I agree. I agree. It's not all about just black people. There's other
Starting point is 01:55:25 things in the world to be angry with. He'll find a way to make it that way. But in the time being, we'll enjoy this. Okay. So they were responding to what John was saying on Thursday. On Friday morning, it's Clay Day. John has his buddy Clay Dabbler on the show. And John talks about how I can't believe Anthony would say I drive drunk when I don't drive drunk and watch Clay's reaction here. No, but when it's defamatory, then it becomes a problem. It's like when Pocky tweets to the Kid Coral Police Department and says that I first used that video and says that I was speeding, which I wasn't, and then says that I always drive drunk, that's defamatory. There's no proof of that. not an iota
Starting point is 01:56:13 so if you say that shit then sorry then you're fucking you know that's defamming me because I never drive junk well sure I never die I never drank drunk
Starting point is 01:56:32 yeah yeah sure it's the fucking elephant thing but Carl that's defanning him defaning him yes defanting the flames the other fun thing too is if I'm remembering correctly remember when Cardiff got the body cam
Starting point is 01:56:47 footage of him getting pulled over I think there was something in there where John wasn't making any sense where the cop was suspicious goes do we need to take a sobriety test and John's like no no I'm fine and the cop gave him the benefit of the doubt but there was already suspicion
Starting point is 01:57:03 there that the cops like this guy might be under the influence pull him out of the car no shit right the way that John was behaving I think oh this guy's wasted, especially in Cave Coral. Do you know my cop friend in Tampa? Yeah, I'm talking, no, he didn't even say Tampa.
Starting point is 01:57:18 He just goes, I'm talking to my cop friend. Do you know him? And the guy just went, like, all right, here's your ticket, sir. The other thing, too, was he gave the registration to a Toyota, a 2014 Toyota. He goes, he goes, this is a 2014 Toyota. Oh, that's not it. Maybe it's in my trunk. He's like, I don't worry about it.
Starting point is 01:57:34 Why would you have a registration of your trunk? That's a lot of leeway. You gave a lot of leeway to that guy. I think the cop was, his shift was, He was trying to get back to the station, call it a day. I got to get away for this guy. He smells terrible. Yeah, there's that also that.
Starting point is 01:57:47 All right, so I pulled clips from yesterday morning show with Clay Dabbler. But before we get into that, because there's a lot of interesting things that are sad. Adam Bush sent this to me. Adam texted me this video clip. And I think that John is not understanding which of the host of WATP do this specific thing that he's complaining about. Here, let's broadcast like Lady Kay, okay? You ready? So, anyway, I'm hanging out.
Starting point is 01:58:17 Today, I got up, I did do some stuff on some matters that I don't discuss. And then I got that done. Hitman Dan had to borrow my car to go to Lowe's to fix his bathroom. And then he showed up late here. I told him to get here between one and two, and he got here at two. Two or one, actually. So then I had to get to the gym,
Starting point is 01:58:50 almost passed out at the gym, came home to the shower, had to eat something. Because I only ate one McDonald's hamburger, a few fries yesterday, and then some lentil soup with some soup crackers last night. And a couple of winter green lightsabors.
Starting point is 01:59:10 That's a lot of. how does fucking idiot broadcasts he looks to decide and he thinks he's a fucking pro so that's the crazy thing about this first off he was actually saying what he was going to say on his show i thought the thing that he was making fun of me was for telling mundane details of my life i don't do any of those things there's a lot of details there's a lot of details that he was going through about how much of the mcdonald he ate and everything like that i never talked about anything like that i talk about the cubs but i shut that down pretty quickly that I'm very good but his whole thing is I don't talk into a microphone is that the critique no it's
Starting point is 01:59:46 that you're not looking at the camera like we are right here because you're broadcasting yeah he doesn't do any prep doesn't do any of that stuff you're looking at your monitor getting your clips ready your stuff your your notes whatever so that you can talk I can't do any of that crazy thing Eric that John will never experience I look at the other people in my room with me I actually have people in the studio that I can look over to while I'm broadcasts. It's crazy. But you're not looking at him. This is about him.
Starting point is 02:00:16 You're not looking at him and addressing him sitting in his filth in his home. You're not acknowledging that he's watching you. That's a weird critique. I'm not used to that one. Oh, I'm in trouble because I've been staring at you the whole time. I know. It's very fascinating to watch me work on this show. Where's that leg going under the table?
Starting point is 02:00:33 Hey, oh. All right. I'm ticker much. Stop it. Stop it already. I thought it was Cocktover. It's not Cocktover. I know we started with the Howard Stern show today.
Starting point is 02:00:43 We're doing Jocktober over here. All right. So I lied. John does have a friend over. And he's very excited. Now, this is from yesterday the day before his birthday. And so Hitman Dan is in town to celebrate his birthday with him. And immediately when John starts up his stream, he's got to prove that he has a friend.
Starting point is 02:01:02 He has to bring him in like a show and tell. Hey, Dan, say hi there, everybody. Daniel Say hi, Daniel Hello, what's happening? Every Friday, everybody Oh, yeah, Danny Dan, yeah, I want to say, you want to
Starting point is 02:01:25 So, this one guy, look this guy, no superchats You see this guy right here? Oh, don't super chat, what a fucking What a pussy You know, it's fucking, oh, don't send them any super chats. Fucking.
Starting point is 02:01:42 Aren't you amazed by these fucking people? I mean, Danny, could you, I mean, look at these assholes. Like, like, I mean,
Starting point is 02:01:52 it's just not, look, and they all put L's in here. Yeah. It's fucking, it is fucking crazy, right? Well, he invites Danny in
Starting point is 02:02:02 and then shows them how everyone his chat hates him. Look at this. They're all like motherfucking me. Can you believe this daddy you gotta go on dad that's that's enough show and tell for now he's trying to goof on it but he's legitimately mad because he's not getting super chats and actually feels by that guy saying no super chats is uh influencing other people to not give him money oh yeah he hates that yeah
Starting point is 02:02:23 pisses him off he's trying to pretend like oh i just play this off i got all my friends here i was having a great time i do enjoy for the last few weeks that el thing really does bother him then he has to keep saying it in every stream that he does oh look there's all the else that's why they're doing it because you will mention it. Well, he tried to own it by saying it's for love. L for love. He's like, if I just tell them they're saying they love me, then they'll stop doing it. That didn't work.
Starting point is 02:02:48 Put L and then parentheses not for love. Yeah, right. El meaning loser. You're a fucking loser. All right, so Danny comes in to say hi, but then it's time to put him back to work because if Danny's going to be over at John's house, he needs to be working on stuff. But before that, John cracks himself up with this little cute joke. It's fucking, hey, your son turns 18 tomorrow.
Starting point is 02:03:11 I turn 50. Looking good. You're looking good for 50, my man. You're looking. John's turning 60. And look at the look that he gives to hitman Dan where he says, I'm turning 50. And he's so proud of himself with this. I turn 50.
Starting point is 02:03:27 Looking good. You're looking good for 50, my man. You're looking good for 50. Thanks, Dean. Yeah, if you want to put that Forrest Gump up, you know. Thanks, Jay, Warren. I will find it right now. It don't matter.
Starting point is 02:03:42 Just saying, you know. Enjoy yourself. And then we'll go out and grab some beer. Scowl. So John caught himself. I was like, hey, you want to put up that Forrest Gump poster for me? And then he's like, enjoy yourself. He's literally putting this guy to work.
Starting point is 02:03:56 All right, I'm going to do my important podcast thing that I do. Carl, how much are you seething that he's not on the mic? I'm a fine with it. Okay. It's not the thing that bothers me about John. It's more of the wall suit that I find annoying with John. Yeah, he was turning his head and talking to his friend that whole time, wasn't it? He does this.
Starting point is 02:04:18 It shouldn't bother me as much as it does, but he's one of those people that when they're trying to be the center of attention, I'm the funny guy, I'm the witty guy, has to lead you into the laugh. Like we've all seen when he starts wheezing into the laugh to show you this is where you laugh at what I said. but just right there he makes the comment and then goes like he looks around so that makes eye contacts like you know that was the joke right or he's the guy if he was in the area with it he'd be tapping you on the shoulder right right yeah like that it's like fucking die just just just leave so obnoxious yeah all right so then clay dabbler comes on the show and he's like oh I have a friend and I have another friend I got to get these two people to acknowledge that I both them should know I have a friend other than them Hey, Dan, say hi to Clay Dabler. Dan, the man. Come on me and say Dray Dabler, Danny. No, I this is one of my most,
Starting point is 02:05:16 this is one of my most loyal guests, Dan. It's just weird for it that wears a mask. He's in England, Danny. Maybe we'll go across the pond. Yes, he's in England, but he likes to smoke weed. And he likes to drink his pints. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 02:05:34 God. What's happening, Danny, boy? This is so awkward. Get back in here. He just dismissed him. Brings on Clay. Oh, get back in here, man, Dan. You got to say hi to Clay.
Starting point is 02:05:48 And what are these two supposed to talk about? How great John is. Well, yeah, I think so. Wow, you know John. You know John longer than I've known John. That's so cool. It must be amazing. And, of course, John has to brag to Clay, his new friend,
Starting point is 02:06:01 about a cool him and his old friend, Dan, have been. yeah there you go if you only clay if you only knew the shit that danny and i did i mean in our lives it's fucking unheard of it's literally unheard of i don't think i'll tell you one boy's this is a funny one but it's not really that funny classic classic suttering job that's like that clip that um the riko show uses now and then for the interstitials. It's like, I don't really care, but I do. I do care. He does that all the time. He cancels out the statement he just made. You won't believe what we were getting up to when we were younger. And Clay's like, yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. I've heard your stupid stories. It's like, no,
Starting point is 02:06:49 no, no, you don't even know. It's unheard of how crazy we are. And I love the way that Clay leaves this dumb conversations he's having with hitman Dan. It's very telling. Take it. Have a good evening, mate. Look off the John, he needs good friends. So, so, yeah, well, Danny's a loyal, loyal motherfucker. Yeah, well, I said he's like a bro. I, I pity the fool that picks a fight with Danny. A funny.
Starting point is 02:07:17 Well, we've been fighting, Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan, yeah. We've been fighting to do like seven years old, no? He's like, is he, uh, should he leave or should he stay with you? He keeps yelling over to Dan. Do you want this poster of or not? You're right. It's like, you put me to work. somebody to come back and I don't know what to do it was he said I pity the guy that would have to
Starting point is 02:07:39 mess with then wasn't he the guy that was limping on a cane that showed up at chuli show yeah like a nice a quick trip and he's down on the ground you already took him out yeah this is the old man with the cane who goes if you know what's best for you stop talking about john what who are you i was going to say immediately but he kind of slow walked out of the establishment. Did you hear what Clay said at the beginning there? He's like, hey, look after John. He needs good friends.
Starting point is 02:08:08 Yeah. Clay knows what a lonely loser, John is. Which is why Clay will never give him contact information. Like, John's always asking for Clay's phone number. Clay knows. Oh, no, no, no, no. I don't need to be the guy that you have to talk on the phone with for an hour because you're lonely and drunk.
Starting point is 02:08:25 Especially with the time change, too. Right. He would call before him and not know. John would have no idea what time it was there or care. Yeah, he never understands how any of that works. So you guys ready to hear John's big story? Oh, no, before we do that, actually. So I mentioned that John put Dan to work,
Starting point is 02:08:45 and someone in the chat later on brings that up. How many chores did you have for Dan to do today? Look, don't you worry about it. Danny and I do favors for each other all day. Ew. Ain't that right, Dan? Ain't there? He's constantly yelling to dance.
Starting point is 02:09:04 Like, should I just hang out with you in this room? What's going on? Wow, what kind of favors were you thinking there, E. Rock? I thought you said we weren't doing cocktail stuff. Yeah, I know, right? They're both lonely guys. Dan's married, but he's not hitting that. They're not in that free show.
Starting point is 02:09:21 They're both, you know, hammered late at night, well, late like 9.30. They're sitting on the couch together, watching some free movie on Tubey. and he just kind of, well, maybe, and he just, you know, grabs his hand, puts him in his lap. Maybe. I'll try anything thrice. Yeah, we find out that Dan fixed, like, a door for John. We've just been doing work around the house this whole time that he's been over there. But they're doing favors for each other, which is great.
Starting point is 02:09:47 These doors make me look short. Can you fix that? He walks through the equivalent of the pet door for the real door. That's hilarious. all right so you guys wanted to hear john's big story he goes you won't believe what we got up to it's unheard of and he's like ah maybe i should tell you no all right i will tell you all right so we so we're driving down syracuse avenue and i'm doing like 40 50 you know it's like a side street cruising yes and like almost at the end there's this main
Starting point is 02:10:24 thoroughfare called broadway so so like it's that's where all the traffic both ways are with traffic lights and everything so we're driving down Syracuse and we fucking he's putting in my ID so I'm looking at him
Starting point is 02:10:42 and I'm driving at 40 you know so I would go back and forth and suddenly we go form like in vacation and we jump yeah we jump and then land and we're like boom
Starting point is 02:10:57 And we're like, at the same time, both turn around. What the fuck was that? We jumped Broadway. So it was like, it had like a hump. So we literally went airborne. So what was it? So reckless driving? We missed all the broads.
Starting point is 02:11:15 Reckless driving is a thing that, uh, it's unheard of. I was 17 once. Mm-hmm. It was up to some reckless driving. He didn't drunk drive then. He didn't drunk drive now. No. But he's jumping.
Starting point is 02:11:27 He's dukes ahead. hazarding over Broadway, apparently. That was the big crazy story. And, I mean, props to Clay, like, he entertains it. And he's just like, yeah, I mean, I have stories, too, from when I was young. That's not really unheard of. Yeah. It's pretty heard of, actually.
Starting point is 02:11:43 It's been heard. Not that impressive. Quick update on what's going on with John's birthday stream that's happening right now. Flashy Vick says John's current birthday show disaster might be breaking him. John had to scrap one stream because of one of his guests leaked the link on Twitter. and run it. Whoops. Yep, that was the one that Kinky Loco posted in our Discord here.
Starting point is 02:12:03 He set up another two simultaneously, which both lasted a second before finally getting one up. Oh, no. That's our Johnny boy. Oh, he's having a hard time getting one up. Yeah, and that's important because it's his birthday. He wants to get one up really badly on his birthday. He was really counting on today to be a big payday for him.
Starting point is 02:12:20 I'm sure. I'm sure it'll do well. I'm sure it'll be good. Well, so that story didn't go over so well, so then John decides, oh, I'll tell another story. I'll just keep the stories coming. The door opened and he runs down a block to his house. I was not
Starting point is 02:12:35 there. Yeah, we did crazy shit when I was a kid as well. And then I'll give you one more just to make a drink. So John's telling the story. We don't know the characters. We don't care. And even Clay's just like, yeah, I guess you had to be there. Sounds crazy, man. Wow. Cool. Good stuff.
Starting point is 02:12:54 And this is a very uncomfortable conversation. that happens because John's turning 60 and Clay's like, did you think he'd be a granddad by now? You know, he's got, all of his kids are old enough that they would be potentially procreating at this point. John does not like this conversation at all. And I just lost my, I just lost my screen.
Starting point is 02:13:19 Give me one second. Did you put that up, E. Rock? Oh, that, yeah, because that showed up in my timeline one day. And I haven't laughed that hard at the John thing in a long time. And I was like, I'm saving that one. That's a fun one. Spelling retarded on his forehead with the T in his forehead and his brow. Yeah, his brow.
Starting point is 02:13:40 All right. So this is a very uncomfortable conversation. Still doing. Did you think you'd be like a grandpa by now at 16? Did you like, look, you know, when you're younger, you think 60's like grandparent. I never really thought about, you know, I never thought about me to grandparent at all. I mean, I don't anticipate that I'll ever be one, really. But, yeah.
Starting point is 02:14:06 John and Clay all day. Wow, John wanted to get out of that conversation. Clay's wanted to keep talking about it. And I was like, yeah, I don't know about that. Anyway, this guy gave me five bucks. Let's talk about that. Clay should have reworded it. He's like, you ever thought about being a dad at this age?
Starting point is 02:14:21 Right. I mean, in John's mind, he's probably thinking I might be a grandparent. I would know. my kids wouldn't tell me if that did happen and it's also bizarre to say he doesn't think it's going to happen when his son Oscar is this
Starting point is 02:14:35 Harvard guy who's going to make a shit ton of money and be very successful in life probably he used to talk about what a ladies man he was when he was younger probably going to be married to some hot piece of ass
Starting point is 02:14:47 likely to start a family you would think and John just knows like I'll never see my grandkids so let's not talk about it that's crazy Also, I'll be dead soon. No, there's also that.
Starting point is 02:15:01 This is fun. Someone brings up the amount of money that our GoFundMe had raised up into this point. I remember, this is yesterday morning. Things have changed quite a bit. This is kind of funny. These guys, could you imagine if I set up a GoFund me to pay my money? Oh, is that what they got? I don't really, it doesn't, I don't give shit.
Starting point is 02:15:24 All right, so Scooter Crunch has put $8,435. as the chat. And John immediately knew what that was because he doesn't give a shit. He's obviously not paying attention. I wonder how you knew that was our go fund me right away. He doesn't know what the L's in the chat mean, but he knows that number exactly.
Starting point is 02:15:37 He does that number even though the number's moving all the time. John don't need it. But it is kind of like if I did that, oh, it would be like, oh, man. Oh, God, I can't believe it. John doesn't have any money. But they're now going to grift their audience Even more so than begging for super chaps and super tips and whatever
Starting point is 02:16:07 This is what John's doing today He's begging for super chats at the whole point of his birthday show He's been building up for for weeks John wants a pair of super chaps for his birthday This is crazy So John this fucking asshole goes Because you imagine if I set up and go fund me You're suing us
Starting point is 02:16:24 I didn't budget hiring a very famous attorney to fight off frivolous lawsuits for this year. I wasn't part of my budget. But here's the, here's a different to what he's saying here, because he's so dumb. He goes, imagine if I set that up, yeah, because you would set that up
Starting point is 02:16:39 for yourself and everyone would shit on you. You guys didn't set this up. This is Dr. Steve grifting the audience to help you guys out. You guys didn't set this up. That's the different. He has nobody that would do this for him. We're promoting this go for me.
Starting point is 02:16:54 that Dr. Steve wanted to set up for us because he also thought that this frivolous lawsuit is ridiculous. John's attorney's already filed three versions of the complaint. He got his name wrong. He got his own name wrong. There's so much fucking paperwork. And for John to not understand the difference here. And also, this number is now up to, well, let me hit a little refresher. $17,394.
Starting point is 02:17:17 That's got up a lot since yesterday morning. Thank you very much for your generosity, everybody. Fight thedabler.com. Do you think off air, he's yelling at Clay? It's like, why don't you, no, start up a go-fund me for me? Well, especially when he sees that number, that's what gets John upset more than anything else, is seeing Shulie and me make money. He fucking hates that, especially because it's because of him that we're making this money.
Starting point is 02:17:42 It's like people who want us to win and take John out with the anti-slap motion. Do you think he's amending and getting ready to amend the lawsuit again that you're now making money off the fact he's suing you. And he should get some of that money. Uh-oh, it's going to go from me $850,000 to $867,000. Nope, no, $868,000. Hold on, hold on, let's revise it again. So it turns out that John actually did think about creating a go-fuddy for himself.
Starting point is 02:18:14 Oh, no. I mean, like, I was even thinking about it, but I'm like, nah, you know, I'm not going to, you know, it's so pathetic in my honesty. Would you be embarrassed if you only got like 50 quid or something? No, I would definitely get money. I love Clay. I love his low-key trolling. He's like, yeah, would you be embarrassed?
Starting point is 02:18:35 You got like 50 bucks or something like that? Because that is what would happen. It would not, you know, he'd have Ditka 89 and maybe Vegas beer sales. I'm telling you, behind the scenes, he's trying to convince somebody to set up one for him so that he can say, I didn't set this up. They did it. And if it made a lot of money, great. If it didn't, he could still pawn that off too and say,
Starting point is 02:18:57 I didn't set this up. Look, it only made that much money. That's not me. I'm not doing this. You quit all that. No, I would definitely get money. But I don't, I wouldn't want to grift my audience to try and pay my legal fees.
Starting point is 02:19:15 Because, you know, what they did was wrong. And it's best, I mean, it's against the law. So, I mean, and I don't know, you know, I don't give a shit with their, you know, opinion is, uh, uh, uh, he doesn't know what he's talking about. He's so flustered by this. John just said I broke the law. That's, um, slander. It sure is. He just said I broke the law.
Starting point is 02:19:39 I've not broken the law. It's slanderous that he would say something like that. She should watch his mouth. You should go look up the definition of slander and put that on the screen. Yeah. And then read it to the class. I definitely, because people probably don't know what that means. It's crazy that he was actually thinking about starting up and go fund me
Starting point is 02:19:57 to fund a frivolous lawsuit that he brought against us. He's trying to sue us for $850,000. He's like, and also, can you help me raise money so I can sue these guys for $850,000? What's in it for us, God? Why would anyone want to do that? He really is amazing. And I love the chemistry that him and Clay Dabler have. They've been doing us a long time now.
Starting point is 02:20:16 It's so fucking. Are you doing anything in? real life for your birthday, like not just an online stream. What are you going out for dinner with Dan and his lovely wife? Dan's, uh, Dan's, no, Dan's wife is not here. So I am going out with
Starting point is 02:20:33 Danny and my friend. I don't remember, bro. You shouldn't be doing too much that. Are you on caffeine today? Why? Because you don't shut up. I interrupted you. I'm sorry. You would say, I threw to me. I asked you a question and I interrupted your answer.
Starting point is 02:20:49 Okay. So these two just are terrible at broadcasting together, and Clay is just a very nervous guy. He's always talking and making noises and fidgeting with stuff, and John just can't take it. Okay. I'm not. I want to shan. Here we go. You are a noisy motherfucker, dude.
Starting point is 02:21:21 No, no, just give me a couple of seconds. Fucking jittery. That's what you put your weed in. You put your weed in there. Did you do cocaine or something? No, smoked hell of weed. Do you have any? Jesus.
Starting point is 02:21:35 Look at all those noises. Look at all those noises. That's why I pulled that clip. Because he was getting so irritated with Clay throughout this episode. He always does. Because Clay is not a good broadcaster. And look at all those noises is my favorite. Meanwhile, Judd slams at his keyboard.
Starting point is 02:21:54 It's nonstop. It's just like, you're being noisy. Oh, I'm the one. Noisy, okay. John can only focus on one thing at a time. So if something's distracting him, he loses his mind because he can only keep that train of thought for so long. And he wants to blame other people for fucking up. So if he gets distracted and forgets what he's doing, it's Clay's fault.
Starting point is 02:22:15 Not the fact that John has no attention span. and this asshole is trying to convince himself and the rest of us that he's going to take the LSAT and pass it in January. Right. He's learned not to say LSATs anymore, but he says he's going to take the LSAT and pass it in January. And he says that he retains information. He actually said it usually takes three years for me to probably be two
Starting point is 02:22:39 because I retain information so well and I test so well. So this is a very easy question. The LSAT questions will be much more difficult. call it the mess. Do you know what else that stands for now? Yeah. Go on, what is that? I forgot. It's a legal something, attitude tests. No, no, no, legal something. Something. Something. Yeah, actually works. Oh, shit. Application test. Legal. It's an application because you're applying, isn't it? Legal something application. I don't know.
Starting point is 02:23:17 Oh, look who it is. Pocky, you can't quit me. It's amazing. John has to lie. Do you know what else I said for? Yeah, of course I do. What is it? I didn't think you were going to do that, right?
Starting point is 02:23:29 I didn't think you were going to do that. Legal stupid ass test. He'll fail the test. You know, like you get a certain amount of points just for writing your name. Yeah. On there, and he'll find a way to fail that. He can't figure out the name of the actual test that he's taking. It's incredible.
Starting point is 02:23:47 And for some reason, Clay can't let it go. So he keeps trying to figure out what it is. Ah, John, is it legal school? Legal school application test. May. Law school application. And a legal school. Law school.
Starting point is 02:24:05 Still got it wrong. It's the law school admission test. Law school admission test. We learned about this just a few days ago, John. And I retained it. I know. Holy shit. Because it's so obvious.
Starting point is 02:24:18 He really is bad at this. Last clip I have on here, John talking about how he calls me a just do it. Oh, yeah. Which definitely doesn't mean that I'm a gay man. That's not what he means at all. And, of course, Clay's going to agree with him. So did you hear what I had Aub on?
Starting point is 02:24:36 And, you know, a lot of these guys trying to say, when I say, just do it, it's somehow, it's like a gay... We're insinuating. in Cole's gay. Yeah, but it's not. That's just how we said it. You let me finish.
Starting point is 02:24:52 I fucking love that because he goes, you know, people are saying that when I say, just do it. I'm insinuating the car. And Clay's like, yeah, you're insinuating the Carl's gay. No, no, I'm not doing that. Oh, you're not? That's what everyone thinks.
Starting point is 02:25:01 So that's exactly what you're doing. So where this leads to it, I don't have the clip because it goes on way too long, John goes to find this episode of Rob Saul, where he's like, Carl says this phrase, and I'm telling you, he just has this inflection. where, of course, people are going to make fun of him for him. And he goes to the video, and it's the full opposite.
Starting point is 02:25:21 He goes, oh, shit, I thought this was a clip. All right, hold on, let me find it. And he starts scrubbing through and he's looking for stuff. It takes fucking forever. You've seen this. Yes. And then he finds the part and he starts watching it. And he hears me say something.
Starting point is 02:25:32 He goes, oh, that was it. No, that's not it. He repeats a couple times like, I guess I saw it. And then he's watching some more and Clay's talking. He's yelling at Clay. It's crazy back and forth. He finally finds it, the thing that he wanted to show. And he played it half dozen times.
Starting point is 02:25:45 and it's me saying okay the word okay he was so focused I was okay like John's like re-creating it was like okay
Starting point is 02:25:54 it was wild to watch because he was like reinventing how I talk while he's doing it there's so many things make fun of me for as my point
Starting point is 02:26:03 I was not finding any of the good ones Cardiff is in the Discord right now I feel bad because look at all those noises was going to be the next
Starting point is 02:26:14 to poke a dabbler Because that would have been a tough one for us to get. But unfortunately, we're watching too, Cardiff. But speaking of which, MLP, you play to poke a dabbler, the home version, right? The home version. Are you good at it? No. Get confidence, stupid.
Starting point is 02:26:34 Let's poke a dabbler together, shall we? It's time for everyone's favorite new game show to poke a dabbler. What do you say, ladies and gentlemen? And Carl, are you ready to poke a dabbler? And by the way, I also played guitar on the Tonight Show in front of millions. I played on Conan in front of millions. But now I'm going to throw together a party
Starting point is 02:27:11 so I can get on stage. This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard, ever. And they believe it. And they actually believe this false narrative. They just, it doesn't matter what good I do. They will make it bad. Look, don't you remember, Nikki B? Don't remember when her husband was going through chemo?
Starting point is 02:27:45 and she didn't want to do a go fund me because she was afraid of the trolls so I took it upon myself to tell people they want to donate I'll get the money to her which I did along with a mini iPad that did work what did John say next
Starting point is 02:28:03 here are your choices number one she just needed a new charging cable B I bought it from one of my pals at the pub next was a brand new latest model no but it worked
Starting point is 02:28:22 four and my mother even sent her a hundred bucks and lastly all of the above a dabbler damn okay I always go first on this game I think it's four and my mother even sent her a hundred dollars but while that that last one really put a twist on things uh what do you think iraq i was thinking it's b but lastly is really appealing because it all seems to make sense because he can't
Starting point is 02:29:04 do anything um would he anything that he would consider good without having to brag and give you nonsense details that led up to him doing the good thing especially because he knows that the iPad didn't work. So he has to be like, oh, they say it didn't work, but I got a cable. They just needed a different cable for it. My mom gave $100. I got it for the get, yeah. I can see that.
Starting point is 02:29:23 I'm going to go with lastly. All right, MLP. What do you think? No, I'm taking B. I'm taking ERAXB. Okay. And producer Chris, what do you think? I'm going lastly, and I will explain.
Starting point is 02:29:35 I hardly ever explain. Okay. But after listening to all the first four, I said, if he's doing it all of the above, I'm taking it, and it came up. So I got a shit. got to go with my instill. You were ready for it. Yeah. And I like giving him an L. I will tell you why I took four.
Starting point is 02:29:52 It's because I don't know that he was the one who told us he bought the iPad from a guy at the pub. I think that was a story that came out later. But I could be wrong about that. I feel like he's never going to put any effort into going shopping. So it would be easy to buy it at the pub. That's true. All right? And that's where he shops.
Starting point is 02:30:07 That's where he shops. Don't remember when her husband was going through chemo and she didn't want to do would go fund me because she was afraid of the trolls. So I took it upon myself to tell people they want to donate. I'll get the money to her, which I did along with a mini iPad,
Starting point is 02:30:26 that did work. And my mother even sent her 100. Yes. Yes. She's talking to my mother all the time. But what do these people do? Pocky says it was a scam. And before you know it. That is the funniest answer because that's nothing to do with him.
Starting point is 02:30:44 Oh, yeah. And my mother even gave $100. Look over there. Yeah, great, John. Well, well done. Everything has to have a qualifier. Yep. Everything.
Starting point is 02:30:53 It's crazy. Yeah, that's such a non-sequit or two. It did work. And I also gave her $100. She could buy an updated mini iPad for that, probably. All the trolls run with what I'm doing as a nice gesture suddenly becomes a scam. And suddenly becomes something. that is portraying me as a bad guy.
Starting point is 02:31:19 And this happens time and time again. And they do it all the time. That's all for this time. Come back next time to find out if you are man enough to poke a dablin. It's in my nature. Sit, Eugene, sit. Good dog. The great Cardiff Electric, everyone.
Starting point is 02:31:46 Well done. Well done. And Cardiff, I'm sorry you didn't get on the big birthday extravagance. I'll give you a peek behind the curtains. When we had Cardiff come on to co-host the show a few weeks ago, he goes, I might not be participating too much in the Stuttering John segment. I'm working on something. And I always know not to ask any questions when it comes to Cardiff.
Starting point is 02:32:06 He works in mysterious ways, and I look forward to being surprised. And I was surprised when John admitted yesterday that Cardiff was going to be the special guest on his 60th birthday show, because that would have been great. It would have been smart of John to do that, but he doesn't do a lot of things that are smart. If you want to be smart, you should check out, it's Eric Nagel at it's Eric Nagel. Well, I was going to say, fight the dabbler.com is the smart thing to do at this current moment. And don't it. Give till it hurts. Forget the Salvation Army. Forget those poor. kids at Christmas. This is the spirit of giving right now for fight the dabbler.com to put this stuttering retard in his place. But yes, if you do want to check me out, if you don't already hate me
Starting point is 02:32:49 from being on the show the entire time, it's Eric Nagel across the board on the social media and also on our YouTube channel. It's Eric Nagel. And a little exclusive for you, I just put up a new video where we broke down a video you sent to me about a week or so ago. that opi says we're not friends anymore oh that was great so we did a breakdown uh dissected what he said and a lot of things that contradict what he was saying there i found old clips old videos and put them in there to go give you a bit of a juxtaposition back and forth and uh it is available right now on our youtube channel it's called old man streams and clouds and it's him 500 feet above Manhattan and that photo by the way not altered no i believe that the dark lips and a bedhead
Starting point is 02:33:43 so i took that it's available now on my youtube channel if you want to go check that out and uh guys always uh have so much fun thank you for including me on this and uh enjoy everything that you guys do eric i'll see you in Vegas this weekend i will be there yeah looking forward to that we should have a fun we'll totally be there a very fun weekend together thank you so much for coming on, Eric. And I know you've been sending me, is it pronounced Jubal? Jubal.
Starting point is 02:34:10 Jubal. And I actually had that queued up to play some stuff, but I'll save it for later in Jock Tover. Do it another time. You don't even have to do his show, just the other things I sent to. Well, actually, what I'm most intrigued by is he does these prank phone calls.
Starting point is 02:34:25 Oh, yeah, yeah. And then he has a skit where he interviews Trevor. So he's both people on the screen interviewing the character that he does for his prank phone calls. It's wild. It's madness. It's madness. So we'll probably get into that later on in Jocktober.
Starting point is 02:34:40 Dude, thanks so much. Yeah. Oh, fuck, that was a teaser. The teaser. The teaser. The teaser. But thank you very much, E. Rock, for coming on. Always good to talk to you, buddy.
Starting point is 02:34:52 Thank you, guys. I appreciate it. All right. Get the fuck out of here. I take up too much of your time as it is. Very generous for this time. We'll be back with some voicemails coming up in just a moment. But first, let's find out what's going on on the internet.
Starting point is 02:35:06 Internet news with Lucy Tightbox. From Facebook, Harrison Blake Young writes, got to love how WATP keeps profiling topic time using snippets from the shows, which include my occasional fuck-ups. But that's what makes me so great. Travis Wilson posts the silly walk pick of steel toe and Bruce Bickman comments. What a goofy prick. Hope that femboy rots in jail.
Starting point is 02:35:28 Ryan Malady says this about the lull suit. If only we could live stream the court proceedings. From Patreon, the negative creep. breaks down last Saturday's show. Lady K. Producer Chris and Les Gaypool? Classic lineup. That was a great episode. That was really great!
Starting point is 02:35:43 Gunn Cramps concur. No superchats, no Adam, a tight two-hour show. I wish they could all be this good. We'd be willing to pay more if you can make this happen. You can even keep Adam. Just ditch the superchats. Andre Gunnar Hawkson shares, I'm here for the Ronnie the Truth Teller Redemption Arc. Mr. Trey Peacockoines.
Starting point is 02:36:01 He's only done it once or twice, but Rocco as Gino is my favorite Dabbleverse character. Sleepner riffs, another spin for the toe. From our subreddit, we find more comments on Aaron Imholt walking into the courthouse. Arthur Byrne dunks with Reservoir Dork. Wapio reports, this is how you walk when you're thinking, they're watching you walk.
Starting point is 02:36:21 Walk normal, casual walking over here. Damn, I'm cool. Ralph Moleman Mellish. Every step is like he's trying to step over dog shit. His strides seems forcibly long. Also, he's an espresso martini. Flobinstein can really pull off sarcasm. I see this king and just think of how lucky slam pieces.
Starting point is 02:36:38 I'm sure this bro just lays hard pipe in every hole, and she's in heaven. From Dabler's Anonymous, Pock-faced criminal asks a valid question. When Ava finally turns on stuttering John again, will he finally go there? Walter offers, if it happens while he's shit-faced, in other words, while he's awake, he will most likely go on a bonkers anti-trans rant. Dr. Mind is certain. He will. John is human scum with a dark soul.
Starting point is 02:37:04 The lowest you think he would go, he'll go even lower. Snow Eastern reminds us. Look how he handled it with Quadfather. He will no doubt say some vile shit against her being trans. God, it's going to be hilarious. And from YouTube, Waldo Carmen notes, I love how it's news that Theo Vaughn bombed. He's bombed for the last 20 years.
Starting point is 02:37:24 DLW, Seattle. Once in a generation talent is not true. Most comedians of his generation are as bad as he is. B-223 points out. Brendan is the get in there and make it all about you meme. Wow. Rumpled Trenchcoat. I think Opie is three broadcasts away from giving Matt a book of matches from the first time they met.
Starting point is 02:37:44 Random Man Will counters with, nah, based on the bourbon. Opie is more likely to re-gift a book of matches someone else gave him. And Carmopolis plays us out with, I wish Fezzi could see all that Opie has become. Excellent news update from Lucy Type. And producer Chris, thank you both for putting that together. We've got a couple of voicemails here coming in. Todd Peterson called into the show. Now, this is, of course, Aaron Himmel's attorney, the attorney that got Aaron thrown in jail for revenge porn.
Starting point is 02:38:20 Hey, Carl, who's Todd Peterson? Aaron's lawyer. I think you're an asshole. What movie is that from? I don't know. Ferris Bueller's day. Is that Ferris Bueller? I think so.
Starting point is 02:38:36 Yeah, I think you're right. Now, this is funny. There was a lot of confusion when Rocco came on as Gino. Oh, yeah. I referred to him as Gino Burrow, thinking that people would pick up on the fact that it's Rocco Burrow. But a lot of people did not. Holy shit, Carl. It took me a while to realize that Gino was actually El Horriblet, whatever his name is, Tuki.
Starting point is 02:39:00 Whatever his other names are. He does a really good job, geez. Don't do that too much, though. Yeah, I was seeing comments, especially in Reddit, people who just listen to the show. Like, why are they having Gino on? All he does is yell. What's up with this guy? And then people were explaining that was actually Tuki.
Starting point is 02:39:17 And then even on the YouTube comments, people were confused and thought that was actually Gino on the show. Very funny. But, yeah, I was messaging with Rocco during the day. And I was like, hey, do you want to come on and just talk about what happened? happened in the courtroom on the show because we're going to play what Aaron said happened in the courtroom so I'd love for you to give some balance to that and I asked him I've done this many times I asked him just be out as Rocco and he always refuses
Starting point is 02:39:42 he's like I'll come out as tokey I was like fine whatever and he's like wait should I come out as you know like I'm not your publicist man do what the fuck you want to do I just want you on the show to talk about it so he chose Gina which I thought was a good choice yeah the giveaway to some people was that he was making too much sense yes I like that he actually finished thought Yeah, right. Hey, Carl, you guys were talking about how Aaron Holt acts like he is railroaded.
Starting point is 02:40:10 To be fair, though he's not right, he's close. You see what happened was his ex-wife and his friend and his friend's wife ran a train on him. So you can see the confusion, railroaded, having a train running on you. All right, shoot. You know how to explain the jokes, sir. Totally understood. Whatco, waka. Totally understood what you were saying.
Starting point is 02:40:32 Wait, wait, right, Ryan Holiday was a board up, and John knew him, the Ryan Holiday that was on the old biggest problem show, and Maddox couldn't stop sucking his dick the entire time. That Ryan Holiday, that's fantastic. Yeah, I forgot that Ryan Holiday was on Biggest Problem. I listened to many, many years ago. It was like episode 18 or something like that. But Small World, Small World is Dabalverse. MLP, thanks so much for coming over and being part of the show today. Thanks for having me, man.
Starting point is 02:41:01 Hell yeah. Producer Chris, you're here. Yeah. Is the Yankees game out right now? It's 2-0-0-Torato. Oh, well, let's get the fuck out of here. I got to go. Bye. I got to go.
Starting point is 02:41:13 I got to go. I got to go. I got to go. Okay. Bye. Bye. A plane has hit. I rewatched Carly.
Starting point is 02:41:29 Boom. Mom. Boom. Boom. Are we done here? I think we are. This is it. It's over.
Starting point is 02:41:41 Okay? Goodbye. Hey, bye. Goodbye. Man, that was a good episode. That was a good episode. I enjoyed that. Okay, bye.
Starting point is 02:41:57 We're behind on Jocktober. Thank you.
