Who Are These Podcasts? - Ep683 - One Bad Movie

Episode Date: December 14, 2025

This week we’re checking in on Stephen Baldwin’s podcast about bad movies. Well, it’s supposed to be about bad movies, but it’s actually just an awkward conversation with Hollywood celebrities who are at the point in their career where they have enough free time to talk to Stephen Baldwin.  Doug from Good Times Great Movies is appalled that Michael Madsen spent over ten minutes waiting for Stephen to show up. Jamarmalaid has a new Christmas song that is no Granny’s House. Howard Stern talks retirement with fake callers and embarrassing phony prank phone calls. Opie does his FU Friday show with both Ron the Waiter and Tony P. Ron does the wrong homework assignment and Tony does the homework assignment wrong. Stuttering John performed a stand-up show in the midwest and comes to the sad realization that more Dabbleverse fans come out to see him than anyone else. We finish up with Net News hosted by Lucy Tightbox and your voicemails.

We've all listened separately. We've not discussed it with beforehand.

Let's get into it. The show hosted by Stephen Baldwin. And Stephen Baldwin has guests on to discuss on. discuss their bad movie, is the premise of this. And, you know, he actually had this guy, Mike Binder on recently. And there's this video called Spielberg v. Ben Affleck. Mike Binder tells all, it's got 88,000 views, which is pretty good for Stephen Baldwin. Yeah.

So that title really grabbed people. People were interested in that. And I guess Mike Binder wanted to, like, talk about his bad movie and didn't really get a chance to do it. I have one more, one bad movie question. I was going to tell you what I thought was my bad movie. Hurry up. So that's kind of the vibe of the show. Stephen Baldwin is whacked out of his mind.

I don't even know if he knows where he is sometimes. He cracks himself up. He loves himself. And we got to remember that his daughter is worth like a billion dollars, which is one of the craziest things. And you think of all the Baldwin brothers, who would have thunk that Stephen would be produced? the uh he's the the goose that laid the golden egg somehow wait can i ask you a question

because i guess i'm an idiot who's his daughter i do i not know this haley beber justin beaver's wife i had no idea i had no idea she started a beauty line that she then sold for like 600 million in cash 200 million in stock and there's all these other options involved and shit i i have never felt this out of touch like this feels like something I definitely should. That's why I had to say it. It's so fucking crazy. This guy is such like whacked out lunatic who's made so many terrible movies.

Because I was listening to an episode and he was talking about his daughter and going on and on and I'm like, does anyone care? Does anyone care who this girl is? In fact, his daughter's way more famous than him. It's not even close. Okay, that makes so much more sense when you hear that. What did you pick up on, Doug? Do you have a clip that maybe signs up the show for you?

You know what? I don't know, kind of. When you reached out to me and you were like, hey, let's do this. Everything is in these tiny clips on YouTube. We're not getting full episodes. It was kind of tough to go through. And I just grabbed a real quick clip of he and Jamie Kennedy. And it was hilarious.

And I was like, oh, great. This is going to be so much fun. And then we decided to split it. And it was like, you'd take a couple of guests. I'd take a couple. So I was like, oh, great. I'll take Michael Madsen and I'll take Eric Roberts. They've been around the block so much so that Madsen's dead.

And I was like, this could. It could be a lot of fun. That is around the fly. Yes, really. Yeah. If you don't know, Michael Manson, I just want to set this up. Mr. Blonde from Reservoir Dogs, but from Kill Bill. He was the dead and free Willie.

It sounds like he just gargled with a bowl of broken glass and gravel. And he did die this past July from, let me check the quarters. Grubble. No, a lifetime of Jack Daniels and cigarettes. Uh-oh. So I was all through, I was all jazz to listen to this. I couldn't wait, play my number one clip, because the moment I saw this, I was like,

oh, shit, I'm in for a bad time. Oh, man, I can tell some stories that would be really bizarrely insane. I could get into so much trouble, man. I've seen some things, man, that are just unbelievable. Such as? Oh, God, man. I don't know.

Grow up to a good start. I was really ready for some in-depth analysis and interesting stories. and man this was a total dud and kind of a downer i don't know when this was recorded i don't know how close to death he was but it's just kind of a sad interview bad news he never made it out of that studio there's a good chance for his dying words unfortunately and i will i'll also apologize carl nobody on this show can seem to understand how to talk into a mic i know right so hard to just level everything out and it's going to be all over the place.

I reviewed this podcast with the Drew Lane show a couple months ago. Really check it out Denise Richards because he just wanted to interview Denise Richards about her ex-husband. Sure. Which just was kind of bizarre the way that worked. But so I was picking up on the fact that no one knows how to talk into a microphone. These are all trained actors who have no idea what this thing in front of them does and how it works. To the point where producers are like, Stephen, you got to bring the microphone over to you. buddy come on help us out here and they don't fix it in post even though all this is added

and i just want to point out that while we don't have full-length podcast to review you said short segments they're like 10 12 minutes long yes the long discussions that he has with these people that are uh that are and looking at and clipping yeah and i don't know who's making the decisions as to what to put up there i don't know if it's just an a i thing this whole first 12-minute section with michael madson baldwin's not even there he's just making this guy wait and he's having bullshit nonsense conversations with i don't know the producer or whatever and you finally see 12 minutes in balvin like come in and sit down and already madson is annoyed by all of this yeah i would be too it's like can we start the show now like oh actually we started 12 minutes ago like what you're rolling i actually i took the whole segment and i sped it up by 4,000 percent and i was like we can't even sit through this but it was it was it was 12

minutes, I couldn't even believe it. And that's the thing they clipped and put on YouTube to promote this show. Yeah. That's interesting. All right. Let's get back to the questions that he has for Mike Binder. And Mike Binder was going to start talking about his bad movie. But apparently, Stephen Baldwin has to ask the question.

Like, this is like his catchphrase or some people who tune into the show need to hear said this way. To me, I would say, I would say, I would say. I made two or three of them. But actually, the one that everyone always calls me out on being the bad one. So, Mike Binder, what's your one bad movie? Okay. So apparently that has to be the setup to the question before you can answer what your bad movie is. Love it.

And so, yeah, I mean, we're all familiar with that, of course, the one bad movie trope. You know, how we're all watching the show. And so he talks about he was the director of the movie Blank Man, if you guys remember uh damon wayans and blank man sure it's funny because if if people call me out and whenever i see someone's writing about me they'll say this guy actually made blank man but it's not a bad movie and it's aged really well and people love it right and and when we made it the studio thought they had a huge hit right i was on see if we got very serious the I just thought this was going to be a big head.

Right. I'm going to go along with that. Blank Brad was going to be a big head. Okay. Sure. Why not? That is the one through line, which I found entertaining, is that Stephen Baldwin does not know how to react to anything his guests are saying,

doesn't know how to do a proper interview. Half the time it seems like we're just here to blow smoke up each other's asses and have a good time. And every now and then, if you could play my seven, already Michael Madsen's annoyed with him. And he really tries to buckle down, thinks he knows what he's talking about. He will try and predict what Michael Madsen is going to say before he says it, which is really obnoxious. He's always wrong.

And he's like, okay, this is actually going to be a real interview now. I'll ask you this real question. I got to ask you a couple questions. Sure. At that time, you had to be considering all kinds of offers. Not really. Okay. Let me pivot that.

So you were a loser at that time. and desperate for roles. Got it. He's so bad at this. It's actually amazing. All right. You want to get back to this blank man? Sure, of course.

The big hit, the movie theater thought it was going to be, the Sony pictures, thought there was going to be a big hit. And so he describes the blank man character. And I'll be honest, I saw this in the theater. This was targeted towards me because the Living Color was on, and I loved that show. And Damon Wayne said some very funny characters. And so when I saw the trailers for this, I'm like, oh, this is going to be a fun movie.

I don't remember it at all. But apparently it's a spoof on Batman if Batman were retarded. Oh. And for some reason, they're not allowed to use that word. The blank man was this, you know, kind of almost, I won't say it because you're not allowed to say. Awkward. But this guy in the awkward and he was effeminate and he's, oh, oh. So he goes, I know you don't want to use the word retarded,

which is like trying to couch it pretty well, and they still bleep it from the episode. God forbid he says that I shouldn't say the word retarded, but that's what he was playing. He's like, well, that's just describing the character. Awkward. Awkward's very different than mentally challenged, right? Yeah, I would think so.

That sounds like a coped. Right. So he describes what the movie has turned into. But over the years, they went and saw it. And they saw it on cable and I mean, and loved it. Right, it lived on. And, I mean, people love that movie. Kids, we were just talking, kids, trick-or-treat as Blank Man.

So that's no question. Blank Man's a cult classic. So, Doug, I'm glad you're on the show because you're a movie buff and you know some stuff. Yeah. Is Blank Man a cult classic? I would not consider it a cult-classic. Have you ever seen a trick-or-treater dressed up as Blank Man? No.

No, I doubt that that would have happened in, like, 1991, I doubt anyone dressed as Blank Man. What the fuck are they talking about? The whole premise of this episode is how, like, you know, people didn't go and see it in theaters, and it was panned and everything, but now everyone loves it. It's like, I've never heard anyone talk about Blank Man. I didn't think about them, like, I think I've seen this movie. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't saw this movie. Yeah, it's one of those things where I'm like, did I rent it or do I just kind of remember the commercials on TV?

Right, yeah, there's a lot of movies like that, too. Yes. Um, Polly Shore is an interesting guest. Oh, okay. I always have some Pauly Shore stuff. I avoided it for a reason. I thought you would take it, but I was curious. Well, Polly Shore is a fantastic guest on this show specifically because these two start

in Biodome together. And the premise of this episode throughout it is how Biodome is an amazing movie and they can't believe they haven't made a sequel to it. They talk about that a lot. Before I go there. they get Polly Shore to read jokes that were written by AI in his style. So, you know, Polly was a stand-up comedian, chilling with the weasel, all that kind of stuff. He's a little more serious in his older age, but, you know, back then.

And so AI comes up with some jokes for him. And this is hilarious because I don't know if Steven's doing this on purpose, but he insults him pretty good. Okay, the third one. Dating apps are gnarly, dude. It's like playing the lotto. So dating apps are gnarly bro. It's like playing the lotto. You match, you chat, and then you vibe.

And she's like, bye, by the way, I live with my 12 cats and my ex. I'm out, buddy. I go to her faster than a Friday night text. But this is just so funny because this is what the AI thinks of you. That is why it's funny, Stephen. Because AI doesn't think that Polly Shork can write a joke. Right. It gets Polly Shore and Tom Myers confused. Yeah. Yeah. We all do.

Obviously. So then they decide, like, what if we had AI write jokes for Stephen Baldwin? And Stephen Baldwin's style. Now, I don't know that Stephen Baldwin's a joke teller or joke writer. Or has a style. Right. So I listened to two episodes. I didn't hear a single joke. No. He cries himself up. I have examples of that. But Polly Shore has a better idea. Let's do me. Let's do me. Yeah, yeah. Let's do jokes by Stephen Baldwin.

No, I would just put a monologue, an acting monologue by Stephen Baldwin. Wow. Yes. That's a great idea. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it isn't. No, but Stephen loves it because it's about him. Stephen loves making the show about him when he's talking to his guest.

It's fun. He's a bit of a narcissist. I found him in my episodes. He really did take a backseat to the guests. Okay. And I don't know if it's, um, that he felt like he was being, I don't know, over, I don't know, that his guess had more clout than he does,

and maybe he feels a little more even with Polly Shore. Probably. But, yeah, I felt like he didn't really have much to say. He laughs all the time, all the time. It doesn't matter if it's intentionally funny. I think he just does it to fill time. He's not great, but I really didn't see many examples of him actually talking or doing anything on the episodes.

Okay, so this is an example of him cracking himself up. Yeah. But I didn't listen to people back then. I was just going to say, the best thing they could have said to you was, you can't do that. Yeah. So, good stuff, Stephen. Yep.

It's great. It's hilarious. You know you have a successful show when you are laughing hysterically and your guest doesn't care. And there's no reaction. Yep. Yeah. Exactly. I didn't even know what the purpose of this show was.

I did not know that the purpose of this show was for the guest. to talk about their one bad movie because that's never brought up in the episodes that I watch. Yeah, it's rough. It doesn't really work out ever because like I said, Denise Richards was a guest

and she's like, I've made a ton of bad movies. What do you mean my one bad movie? And even Stephen Baldwin's like, I can list dozens of my bad movies. Like, I'll take any work. I don't go, fuck. He's made movies overseas

that we've never even heard of. Like, he's... Oh, I want to see those. Yeah, me too. He's made a lot of bad movies. Let's get back to your clips here, Doug. Yeah, for some reason. If you play my number four,

Michael Madsen is talking about Donnie Brasco, and I don't know why Stephen Baldwin wants him to talk shit on Johnny Depp so much, but he wants him to. And Madsen's about to or kind of does, but takes this bizarre turn, takes this

for a walk a little bit. We can edit this, as you know. Yeah, I just, I mean, can I talk about Johnny Depp? I don't get it. I mean, Edward Scissor hands. I couldn't do that. Maybe I could. I'd be an interesting

Edward Scissors' hands. I'd be really good probably. Yes, you would. You know, I would have made a great Batman. But it just wasn't meant to happen. But when you take Johnny and he put him in Donnie Brascoe, it just didn't work for me. But how is...

There's no way that guy would have been let in to the family. They would have bumped him off. Okay. My favorite part of this is, he goes from, I couldn't do Edward Scissor hands. too. I'd be a pretty great Edward Cisor Hands in about eight words. Yeah. But I think he was trying to like cushion the fact that he thought that

Johnny Depp sucked in that movie to be like, I mean, he's good in like quirky things. He can play a silly billy. I'm not thinking him seriously. Right. Yes, yes. Yeah. He can be as he says, an Edwards scissors hands. Right. And I think I'd also be a great Batman. Where the hell did that come from? The voice. It's got to be the voice, right? Because other than that, I don't see this guy pulling off Batman. Not at all. But the great thing is is that suddenly, if you play my very next one, he doesn't mind talking

shit on Johnny Depp. And immediately Baldwin acts like he did not ask for this. And now I'm going there. So with Depp, was there any moments with Depp where you were performing opposite him and you went, Oh, this guy's terrible.

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I was trying I was trying to sugarcoat that moment, but they really know it was terrible. It was just boring it was like lifeless i can't believe you're saying it was a lifelessness to it that i couldn't comprehend it made no sense to me this is i get the clicks i was talking about this a while ago where you have mike binder tell all spielberg versus ben afl eight thousand views the other video that i watched is called blank man cult classic or one bad movie it has three thousand views because

no one gives a fuck about blank man whether it's a cult classic or not exactly so this is a perfect example where it's just like, oh, you think Johnny Deft's a shitty actor? This is where you kind of lay back and go, yeah, tell us more. Yeah. I love that he does that, but then he undercuts it by going, I can't even believe you're saying. Right. I know. Get out of the way,

Stephen, out of the way. We got some gold coming out. Diss the tea. Whoa, whoa. Whoa, that's too much tea. You guys want to get back to this conversation with Polly. So, remember,

we have AI creating a monologue for Steven. Then they realize that's dumb. What if we actually have AI write the sequel to Biodome? It can write Biodome 2. And they're like, oh, this is great. And so Stephen starts reading this and gets corrected by Polly. So this is Biodum 2 written by AI. What's the title?

You're never going to believe what you're about to hear. Can I read all? this? All right, Brad Kavoy, we, uh, we may have outdone you. Biodome 2, Echo Armageddon. Eco, that's cool. It probably just like, it wouldn't be Echo Armageddon. It'd probably be Eco Armageddon. It'd make a lot more sense. So this word, whether it's an agent or not, trips up Stephen quite a bit. It's a hard time with it. but he starts reading the concept and he is fascinated by everything that's happening

tagline saving the planet one questionable decision at a time concept in the decades since their original eco adventure got it very good you see like he paused for a second he's like he corrected me and I said this is eco okay that's good but then as he continues to read it he gets, uh, he fucks it up again. Biodome 2.0, a self-sustaining AI-driven ecosystem that could reverse the environmental damage on the global scale. Why is this movie about reverb? I don't understand.

What is? This is not planned out. They're just doing this on the fly, right? Yes. Wouldn't you prepare for a podcast episode? No. Especially if you knew that you were having a co-host from a prior movie on, a friend of yours, there has to be something to talk about.

Well, I've seen. Pauli Shore podcast before and he's got to be relieved that there's something here. Right, there's only someone's doing something. But actually, Stephen's so obsessed with this. He's so excited about it. He's just reading every word. And you can see that Polly is just checked out at a certain point. But when Squirrel and Doyle accidentally upload a party mode virus into the Dome's operating

into the Dome's operating system, the biodome turns into an out-of-control rave-reaking habit on the delicate eco's. Well, that's a little bit, you know, the same as before. Paul is just like coughing and grabbing his drink. Like, yeah, okay. Hey, I wrote a thing. That's really neat. But Stephen continues to read this, and he gets tripped up yet again.

Oh, my God. Tone, a mix of Jurassic Parks, Eco Crisis Emergency with the... You see that? A mix of Jurassic Parks. Oh, my God. I want to say, Echo! It's Eco! I know it's Eco this time.

Reading AI garbage off of your phone is a podcast. This is wild. Yeah. And he thinks that this is fascinating. So he's really trying to sell this. Wait a second. I got to read this last part because it's just fascinating that the AI came up with this. Kylie Jenner as herself, unveiling the Biodome's new eco-chick fashion line during a pivotal scene.

Jeff Goldblum Playing an eccentric scientist This is not bad No way That's his take This is not bad The most generic thing possible All right

So he Again, eco every time There's a pause There's these brain processing What is that going to be? How you say So he reads This overview

of what the sequel would be. And he is all in. Huh? We got to save the environment, but, don't you? I might just do a bunch of these AI things

with the story for bio, and just read them. Like Orson Wells in front of a fireplace. Yeah, that's funny. Does a producer really need to take the phone

from what you can he just like put his pocket? Yeah, just put it out. It's very distracting. Right. So Polly's trying to play along. You know,

he's like, oh, yeah, yeah, you could read it in front of a fireplace, Orson Wells. Sure, sure, sure. He actually smiled and laughed. Yeah, he's trying to be like humorim a little bit.

Oh, my slow buddy is discovering AI. He thinks it's cool. What Stephen doesn't realize is that the reason why this is boring is that anyone can type anything into AI and it'll spit out the same bullshit. He thinks that he just invented the script to Biodome, too. And what Polly Shore doesn't seem to realize is that Stephen's dead serious about this. Yes. This is an idea. He may move forward with this and start a new podcast where he reads AI.

I think he might And Polly decides Now's the time to change the topic Because we're not going anywhere with us You know, I'll do like when he got drunk On the Ernest and Giulio Gallo wines, remember? You ever see those famous commercials? I'll show them to you, I'm going to send you.

No, I know those commercials. Where are you staying while you're out here? When he's wasted. Where are you staying while you're out here? Oh, okay. My dad are. How funny is that? You ever see those Orson Wells things?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I see, that's great. Like, just the most boring thing to try to change the topic. Where do you go to eat around here? Yeah, right. You want to go? What are you doing later? I think the one through line with this podcast is that the guests quickly realize they don't want to be there. Yeah.

Yeah, they're definitely checked out on this. So, Stephen really thinks there would be demand for the sequel to Biodome, so they get into more Biodome to talk. That's crazy AI shit. That's not bad. What's taking them so long? What's taking what's so long? Writing the script for the sequel to BioDome. I don't know.

I thought Peter Hoard did a good job with that. So if there's a script that's pretty good, what are they doing? We don't know. I don't know, dude. Very strange. What are you going to do? We should make a pact right now to never make a sequel to the film. Funny.

What? What? That would be funny? Dude, Stephen is so lost. He really thinks that Biodome 2 there is huge desire for. The demand for the sequel is through the roof. And he's like, wouldn't it be funny if we didn't even give it to him. Now about U.S.

We're like, screw that. I'm going to chat GPT instead. This reminds me of Bill Maher with Richard Dreyfus, but there's no drinking or smoking going on. Right. It would be funny to make a pact that we don't create a sequel? Nope. Nothing funny about that. The way that he brings that up,

it's like he thinks that there's something actually happening behind the scenes, like that there are people working on this right now as they speak, and I doubt that. Well, it sounds like a script was written. And by the way, for sequels, scripts are written all the time. Sure. And just like, why are we making this movie?

Because no one wants to see it. Yeah. I think it's ultimately what it comes out to. I guarantee you it was written the moment they realized people are actually watching this movie. People are actually paying to go see Biodome. Like, holy shit, we didn't see this coming. That's when you come out with the sequel. Silent Shape says, Tony from Hack the movies will be covering Blank Man next week.

Is that true? Big of true. I want to check that out. What else did you pick up on, Doug? You know what? Let's go back to the phone because this interview with Michael Madsen is going so poorly that Baldwin decides to call his brother, Alec, who is in the getaway with Michael Madsen, so they can talk. He holds the phone directly up to the microphone, and they have a long, boring conversation

about the making of that movie. And if you play my number eight, this is the gist of the conversation. I want to make people clear. I did not take this out of context. You remember when you saw Rudy in the hallway, in the motel, in the hotel? Yes. You remember what I did? Yes.

you don't want to go there no you just answered it good enough there there's no set up there's no explanation of what they're talking about it's just inside jokes it's just two guys remembering a time where they were together talking about it as if we were all there but giving us no context or any reason to listen to this except for this is Joe Matarice level If anyone's watching These socials with Blind Mike and me We've been following Joe Madderick's social media

And all he talks about is like where he hung out in 1983 Which bars he was at Remember Bill? Remember Bill? He used to go to that bar and he would always hit out all the girls. You're like, no one knows what the fuck you're talking about, man. What are he doing? And you expect that when it comes to him.

These are celebrities. All three of them are celebrities to certain degree. They should know how to interest in the audience. Alex saw Rudy in the hall. Come on. Yeah. That's fucking wild.

Sometimes I think Michael Mads is. You're not Rudy? No. Michael Madsen at one point, I didn't clip this. He's talking about Rudy as though that's him. I don't know what's going on. But maybe that was his character? I don't. I haven't seen the getaway since 1993.

Sure. If you play my number nine, this is what it reminded me of. I think we know where we're going with this. I put something at the end. Remember when you left when we were having the big fight? You remember when you saw Rudy in the hallway? Remember when I teased you about... You remember the day you left?

I don't remember saying that to that woman, but I remember one day I heard you... You remember what I did? You remember in something wild when Melanie Griffith had you handcuffed to the bed? Remember that? And you had to make that phone call, remember? And you were chained to the thing

and you couldn't get away. Yeah, yeah, I remember. Yeah. That was awesome. Wow. It's the entire conversation. And that's another 10-minute segment from this podcast. And that just proves it.

Alec Baldwin, or Alec, Stephen Baldwin has no idea how to run a show. No. Because he's letting that go on. Yeah. He's excited. His more famous brother is on, so he's like, well, this has got to be gold because Alex's on. His job is to hold a phone up to a microphone and try not to get in the way.

Yeah. Alex's like, What is it this time, Steve? Yeah. Oh, are you playing podcaster again? Call mom, please. She hasn't heard from you. What else do you pick up out here, Doug?

You know what? I got to tell you, this whole Michael Madsen thing was really tough to listen to, but he tells stories about Donnie Brasco, and you don't think this guy can do impressions. He does an Al Pacino impression. It's a super cut. It was hilarious. I loved it every time.

You know, it was a ha. He was a ha ha. He goes, ha, ha. Is that it? He comes in and he's like, oh, ho, ho, ho. Here he's a ho. I'll be here. He was all.

They go, yeah, man. What the fuck? All right. I thought I knew Al Pacino was. It must be a different guy that I'm not familiar with when Elberchino played Santa. Yeah. I don't know what impression that is. He goes on a long, meandering story about meeting Al Pacino.

And every time Al Pacino talks, it's just, oh, oh. He never says an actual word the guy said to him. It's amazing. Fantastic. All right. I have a very long story. Sure. So it's interesting because Mike Binder is trying to tell this story about how he wrote this movie for Steven Spielberg.

And then Spielberg turned it down and had him direct it. And then he hired Ben Affleck. to star in it and Steven Spielberg's like, nope, we can't have been a black flag. He sucks. It's kind of an interesting story and he tries to like keep it moving. He's like, this is a really long story about to try to keep it moving. And then Stephen makes it all about him and he is not worried about telling a very long story. Jeff Katzenberg. What does he know? Yeah, I still say the eighth dwarf. I still say that. Remember that? Yeah. Remember that? Eighth dwarf? No, I don't know. I don't know that story. Jeffrey

Katzenberg got upset with a relative of mine. Oh, that's right. I do remember that story. And I spout it off into trades many years ago, decades ago. I remember this. I was at Disney at the time. The marrying man. And my brother was quoted, I think, in variety

or something. I don't know what it was. Some trade rag. Not variety. Variety's terrific. Ding. But Alex's responsive quote to like some criticism I guess by Katzenberg publicly was oh well I'm not really interested in what he thinks of me I'm more interested like in what his gardener thinks of me and he goes because this guy you know he's like the eighth dwarf greedy

that's great and that was published in the trades no I remember I remember and uh what a story mark holy she's like oh don't tell that story Mike Byers like I won't let me tell it I don't know that story and he can't stop himself let's get him on the phone to explain

himself well I like too that started with a relative of mine yeah the more famous one yeah yeah Alec anyway so what Alec did was Billy or your brother Billy yeah oh man

that's rough this most of what this show is it's just long meandering stories. If you could play my number two, this is again when Baldwin's not around and it's just Michael Madsen talking to some dude. I had to chop this up. I took out a bunch of pauses.

There's a moment where he leans far away from the mic, jams his hand down his pants to adjust himself. I cut out a lot of nonsense in here. And then I have a few points after he gets done with this story. What do you think your best performance is? Do you ever look back at your performance and say, man, I was really in the zone there? I did a picture called Strength and Honor.

I played an Irish-American prize fighter. I think it's probably the best thing I ever did. And it never got any distribution. It never came out. It never came out? No. It's a great boxing picture. I stopped smoking, I stopped drinking.

I trained for three months. I was supposed to be a prize fighter. We shot the movie in Ireland. I had like five or six fights, like professional fights but that movie never came out it was another one of my Weinstein problems Harvey Weinstein didn't want to have a distribution of it

so it's just still sitting on the show he buried the print of it in Canfield Festival there's no way to access it there's no way to wow no man it's it's over I could have gotten to get further away from the fucking Mike he doesn't know he's on the show what's this thing in my way yeah he's literally pushing it away from him

because the producer doesn't isn't telling him, I came a recording for the show right now. It looked like he put a shot down from him, but wouldn't move the mic. Right. Right. So he, at the very end there, he says, I could have gotten an Academy Award for this movie. Had Harvey Weinstein not, probably the worst thing Harvey Weinstein ever did, was buried this movie. What he's known for, yep.

So I looked it up. I was very curious about this amazing film. Turns out it was released. Turns out you can't find this. Turns out it has a six. percent on rotten tomatoes. Wow. So he's somehow reinvented in his brain that just never came out.

Yeah. It was released to the point where shortly before Roger Ebert passed away, he gave this film a one-on-five star review and everybody panned this thing. It's terrible. And everyone, the consensus was basically that the fights looked super fake and that Madsen's Irish accent was laughable. All right. Strength and honor.

Yeah. That's a level of cope that I'm not used to even in the dabalverse. Yeah. Or the isotopes. I take on stage. Well, that show was canceled, remember?

Yeah, we never played that. No, no, you were terrible. I was there. Yeah, that was wild.

I couldn't even believe that because I was like, oh, what a shame, you know, his best work has been buried because I'm thinking about stuff like, you know, kill Bill and, and of course,

reservoir dogs. Of course. Yeah. It was the best thing that he think he ever did. crazy all right well we'll have to we'll have to check that out i'd be curious to hear what his irish accent sounds like anything else do you want to play before we you know what i kind of want to play the last two that i have right yeah let's do it i also said i was going to check out the one with eric roberts because i assumed eric roberts would be great he's he i looked he has

two hundred i'm sorry 900 no damn it i forgot what it was hold on I have it up here, 893 credits to his name. Okay. In IMDB. I love to go 900. No, no, no, I got to get the exact number. 893. 993.

I was like, there's no way it could be near 1,000. It's really close. Okay. So I was like, this is going to be great. It's horrible. It's unlistenable. He's somehow, I don't know why he brings his wife with him. I think my only clip is a good example of this.

It's a rather long clip. he's telling, I think, a really entertaining story. And I think the only reason his wife is on there is to be a buzzkill. Just a quick setup. He's talking about a call he received from Mickey Rourke. And this was before the wrestler, but that's all the setup you need for the clip. He calls the office and he says, dude, you work every day. What is that about?

Yeah, yeah, I'm one of the lucky ones, dude. Yeah, well, make me lucky. I need a job. Okay. Well, I'm making this feeling a little. And I did a little roll in it, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, sure. Oh, thanks, dude.

Okay, so it'll be blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay, great, dude, I love you. I'll talk to you in a minute. He shows up on the set. It's all going to happen. You know, Mickey Rock, blah, blah, blah, blah. I set it up. And I happen to be there as a friend.

I'm not on the set that day. And he has his dog, of course. And okay, blah, blah, blah. And then talk about the scene, blah, blah. Okay, let's shoot. Who are you going to hand the dog off to? Oh, I'm going to hand the dog off. What do you mean?

No, he's in the movie. If I'm in the movie, he's in a movie. No, we can't, no, we can't have a dog be. It's a single psychiatrist. It's not going to work with a dog. No, but if I'm in a movie, he's in a movie. And so I just went home. I got to get out of here.

I left. What ever came to that? Okay, what ended up happening? Can you translate? Oh, that was slightly different, but that's close enough. What an asshole. I know. What a great story.

Why is she? It's not true at all. That's not what happened. But that was a big dut. Like his whole interview went like that. It was a really big dud. There was a funny part. It's a whole visual thing.

I didn't cut it. The microphone gets so far from Eric Roberts. The Baldwin actually stands up, walks over, repositions it, and then turns to his crew and like shrugs his shoulders. Like, come on, guys, what the fuck is going on here? Yeah. Like, how about one bit?

No one cares about the audio on the show. No, no, no. And there's awful people working, producing the show actively on set, and no one cares about the audio. What are they care about? It's not visually interesting. No, well, they have all the DVDs on the wall right there.

That's the important thing. The alphabetical order, by the way, very, very well done. My very last thing I want to play is he has this little thing that he does called trailer trashers. And I'll set this up, Carl, because by the title, you might not know what happens. He and some co-hosts, some random dude, I don't know, producer they watch a trailer for an upcoming movie and then they say if it seems worthwhile this stuff is all over youtube dime a dozen they're all worthless except when tony from hack the movies does it

then it's great right we love that but i didn't get in my episodes like i said i didn't get a whole lot of what stephen baldwin is like this is i think a great glimpse into who he is as a person Like, he's really entered, like, his late stage Gary Bucy era, and it's really on display here. It's a long clip, though. Okay, because the first one, I think, was fantastic. Brilliant. Beyond measure. Oh, he's talking about their first episode, trailer trashers.

The funny bone algorithm goes. Oh, where's my headset? Right in front of you. Right on the microphone. Oh, shoot. There it is. Can't script this. God, really.

this is a this is a teaser happening right here it's something oh wow you know these are really nice headphones yeah i can really hear myself we're basically yeah we're trying to be passing judgment on the entire effort exactly simply by uh you know reviewing a trailer of the subject matter exactly a trailer should be enough to tell you if the movie's going to be good or not i couldn't agree more yeah And when you view a trailer, you're, as an American, you should have the free reign to trash a trailer. You take forever to stay nothing. Yeah, we get the premise. You feel bad about it.

Just fucking either do it or don't do it. And I cut so much out of that. Yeah. That was probably five minutes just to get to that point. Is Stephen stoned or he just wants to look like he's stoned out of it? I don't know. I don't know. He mentions in both of the episodes that he is a born-again Christian.

Oh, right. That's right. Yeah. I forget that he's the right way. I feel like he probably had some rough years and they may have done some serious damage. Okay. That would make sense. Well, Doug, great presentation.

Thank you so much for putting that together. Sure. You know, it's the Christmas season. And I don't really focus on holidays that much on this show. But when my boy, Jamarmalade, puts out a Christmas song, you know, we're going to play it on WATP. Thanks to Farmer Todd for sending this my way. This is Jamar Malade's new Christmas song.

I should have been talking up this whole time. I just realized I should have hit the post on this one. And this is Jamarmalade. Talk to write a Christmas song You sprinkle a little merry in cheer Hoping their cellars near I thought it could be so right But a fa la la la la la

It was a terrible song A very, very terrible Christmas song What a fire la la and a little bit of cheer Hoping is right, but I was wrong, yes, I was wrong. All right, interesting premise. He wrote a bad Christmas song. I'm assuming this is the bad Christmas side that he wrote, or is this a song about another song that's even worse?

It's getting a little meta. Yeah. I want to get more Jamarmalade. Yeah. The mix is off on this one. Don't bury the vocals. No. That's what we love this.

Now when you're a vocalist, like Jamarmalade. Right, right. Yeah. When you're to that level, you've got to show it off. I'll give it a little bit more of a chance here, but I'm disappointed so far. Yep, that's what I heard. Whoever says A for ass.

Jamarmelian. That's true. Let me just remind everyone. I'll listen to it every year. Of course, it'll be a new tradition. And as you guys know, Thanksgiving also has a tradition and that's uh, Granny

that's Peak Jamarmalade right there. There's different chords There's different chords. The I'm hungry, I'm hungry gets me every time it's wonderful so well done Doug you sent me something you sent me an audio clip here anything about it great I'm glad you didn't listen to it in advance a few episodes ago maybe a few

months ago you had said boy I'd like to revisit a certain podcast see if they're still doing the same thing and I was like oh I could do that I could do the Lord's work for you so I did went back sadly the podcast ended in December of 2024 I listened to the entire final episode It was so much more fun than the Baldwin podcast that we listened to. Even though I have no interest in what they're talking about, no knowledge of what they're talking about. It was great. And if you play my clip,

we don't even need to say what the show is. You will be happy to hear, Carl, that they went out with a bang. All of the sudden, boom, Spencer just misses another blow. Sam was strapped with a second gun. A second gone has hit Spencer Shea. the classic joke

it was great it was great no shit how many 9-11 jokes were in this one just that one just that reference that was it but again it's the only episode I ever listened to them like they must do this every episode yeah yeah wow well they know they know where their bread is buttered yeah and it was wildly

entertained I only heard them through your show I listened to that having so much fun again never having seen episode of i carly it didn't matter yeah it doesn't matter they're having so much fun doing whatever nonsense they're doing i kind of want to look into them and see if they end up doing something else and maybe bring it down the road yeah maybe their clarissa explains it all or something they're watching yeah all right um i was checking in on one howard stern I'm fascinated about what's going on with Howard Stern right now

because he has one week left in his contract and no one is talking about it. How the fuck is that possible? This was a big deal in August, and no one's talking about it in mid-December. Well, it didn't work when they were trying to create some buzz around, will he come back or not? So I think they learned. I think they did create buzz. Everyone went, who gives a shit?

Well, that's right. I think that's my point. That was the funny part. Trying to create buzz, yes. So I'm checking in this week to see, is he talking about retirement, renewing his contract? This is a 71-year-old man. He's going to be 72 next month. And so a caller calls in.

And these callers are so fake because they have nothing to say. It's so pointless. It's just an excuse for Howard to talk about what he wants to talk about. So a caller calls in to talk about his retirement. Good morning. Yes, man. Good morning, Mindy. Mindy's in Texas.

Good morning. I was calling regarding your talk about a possible announcement next week and everybody calling in telling you not to retire. I don't want you to retire either, but also I think it's a little bit selfish of us to say that because you've got a lot of guitar playing to be doing a lot of time spent with that and just living your life. So that's all I wanted to say. We love you.

We would miss you terribly. We don't want it to happen. but also do what's right for you. Yeah, well, you know, look, I also enjoy being with an audience. Don't get me wrong, but you make a good point. Okay. There's no way in hell.

Howard announces his retirement next week. With no fanfare, with nothing. Just be like, all right, guys, we're not renewing with the series. So it was fun entertaining you for the last 45, 50 years. Got to go. Yeah, the show just ends. Yeah. This is the guy who on his birthday throws these birthday parties with A-less celebrities and musical guests and all this crazy shit.

Now he's just going to be like, all right, well, that was our last show. See you. Bye. But what does he do? What does he do then? He seems so opposed to the idea of a podcast. That seems like the most natural thing for him to do. But what is he going to do other than flink away?

He's going to drop some hints here. That's why it was all years we're going to teach guitar. When the person asked about that. So Howard starts hinting that, you know, there's a lot of people that I know who are retired. You know, all of my friends, Robin, except for Dr. Liu, are retired. I mean, guys, my age. Yeah, I was going to say, I think you have a lot of friends who work. Yeah.

Yeah, the ones my age, you know, if they ain't dead, they're not, you know, they're not doing it. But Lou is still working. but other than that Does that have anything to do with your possible decision? What Lou does? No, no, what everybody does.

You're saying all of the others are retired. Does that matter? Yes. Whatever other people think always matters. Of course. I'm the only one that admits that. I wish he did think that what other people think matters. Right.

Because he would change his show format years ago. because he is so stubborn people are just like yeah how this is that we want to hear this is this is terrible stop saying that you hate us if we voted for trump that's not a cool thing could you tell robin to shut up just once yeah and tell robin it's her cackling it's not making the jokes

funnier oh man so Howard's sitting there going and this is a classic Howard misdirect this is what he's always done like I don't know if I'm going to renew I don't know you know and then he always renews and he but he tries to like have this thing like maybe he's going to retire he's like I don't know all my friends are

retired. Maybe I'm going to retire. He's not going to retire. I'm calling it right now. There's no way he's going to retire. Will he continue on with Sirius? I don't know. That I don't know. So let's finish up the call with Mindy, who's who... Does Sirius even know he's still there? I don't know. That's a good question. Let's finish up the call with Mindy who introduced this topic to us. Oh, you've given us so much. I love you. And even if you come back, just, you know, like little pop-up shows like you've done in the past when you've been on. break. That would be great, too, or just stay on for another 20 years. That would be awesome, too. We would love... I don't think I can do that. All right. Thank you, Mindy.

Let me, let me, let me, uh, uh, you know, anyway, uh, Larry's on the air in Wisconsin. Go ahead. Well, Howard, great stuff. We're to bring nothing to the table. The reason why this segment exists is for these callers to call in and go, Howard, you know what, if you want to retire, that's on you and you earned it, so you should be able to retire. He's like, ugh, yeah. That's why you should retire. It's so sad. I have not listened, other than the few times he comes up on your show, I have not listened in probably 15 years, but it's just sad to hear him now. Even little tiny things like he and Robin talking over each other, 30 years ago, That never happened because they're in the same room together.

Exactly. It sounds so amateurish. It sounds like every terrible podcast you cover. It's such a shame, really. Yeah, and a lot of ways it's worse than some of the amateur podcasts that we cover. So now we have another caller, call in that Howard picks up on. And, of course, the last caller said, you can retire. So now they have to call her to call in and say, no, Howard.

You can't retire. Howard, you can't retire, man. Long time caller, first-time listener. you're going to end up like Kramer on Seinfeld. He bought the episode of the Mervf Griffin studio. You're just going to be moulping around the apartment doing your radio show for your rescue cat. Yeah, maybe you're right. I don't know.

I don't know myself well enough. Well, I wanted to ask what kind of retiree do you think you will be? Oh, I know exactly. So he goes, I don't know myself well enough. Maybe. I don't know myself. So Nan Robbins, like, what kind of retiree where you're going to be? He's like, I know exactly what kind.

Oh, well, so you just said you weren't sure because you don't know yourself well enough. Yeah. Even though you've been working on yourself for decades in therapy, you don't know yourself well enough. Yeah, he's like, I may get the Merv Griffin said, I may just yell the N-word at nightclub. I don't know. It could be a bunch of different Kramer outcomes. Right. So, of course, Robin Wast to introduce this exercise of like, what kind of retiree will you be?

And so she goes through some different scenarios. Are you going to be a recluse and nobody will ever see you? you again? Yes. Yes. Or will you be, you know, the person who, you know, makes special appearances, or will you morph into Letterman and, you know, do a bunch of interviews and have them run for a certain period of time to keep yourself in the public eye? Robin, I'll be all three of those, actually. I mean, I feel, you see.

I go for five, by the way. I forgot the caller was there. It's a good thing that collars running the show. Somebody got to say something. Anyway, to answer you a question, I'm basically a recluse now. I come on here and do the show, and I don't really go anywhere else. And I'm very happy being in my home. I like being reclusive.

Right. We all know that. Yeah. And it's amazing to me that Howard, with a week to go on his contract, is talking about retirement and making it boring. Yes. I thought for sure, I'd be like, oh, good, he's talking about retirement. this will be great what's he going to say she's like i might do this i might do that i don't know i'm kind of a boring asshole yeah yeah yeah he kind of are mad yeah but he says he goes to do the show

he goes to another room in his house yeah he goes downstairs kind of like how i do a show yeah they're gonna carry my laptop though we're now he's finally discovered what he's wanted all these years and you know what good for him but don't put us through this torture just leave yes so finally he says something interesting because all of this is just like, yeah, I don't know. I like having an audience, but I don't know what I'm going to do, but I do know what I'm going to do. I just want to be a recluse.

I don't want to, at some point during this conversation, he even talks about, like, Robert, I keep myself entertained. I can play guitar all day. And Robb's like, yeah, yeah, I'm not worried about that. I'm wondering, will the public ever see you again if you leave the airwaves, you leave serious? So listen to this.

And I entertain myself all day. You have no idea. The day flies by. I'm not worried about you being bored. I'm just worrying about, what we will see, you know, the public. You see nothing. You know, we'll never see you again.

No, I would do. I have the sunset. I have, for example, I have some deals with other companies, entertainment companies that maybe, you know, maybe I pop up here. I would do some things. I don't think I would totally be gone, but like Letterman was on a Jimmy Kimmel show last night. Yeah, whatever.

He just said he has deals with other entertainment companies, deals with other companies. That implies that they're signed. Yeah, right. There's a signature on paper somewhere and Howard Stern knows exactly what he's going to be doing. Is that possible? No. Because if I'm Robin, I'm like, oh, what are these deals with other companies? Or maybe Gary could chime in or someone who's paying attention to the show and be like, that's interesting. Concerned about their future. That's the thing we all want to know about. What are the deals that you have? So he just throws it out there and just lobs out there and no one addresses it again. That's crazy.

Even people that work on the show are not listening to the show. Or they all know what's actually happening and no one's talking about it. Is the other possibility? Because it's so fake. The show is so fake. Like even the segment they couldn't make interesting. And then as he throws it out there, I have deals with other companies. I'm going to pop up rather than explain that at all.

They take another caller and the next caller segues to the next thing he wants to do. That's the kind of retiree I'll be. You just won't hear from me. I'll be pretty quiet. Let's go to Marty, Marty in Missouri. Hey, Howard, good morning. Good morning, pal. So I just wanted to say this with peace and love.

I know sometimes I've talked about your guitar playing and it comes off wrong, but I think you are getting better at Howard, and I think you're probably on hour like six or seven thousand. So I know you're working away to 10,000. And you're definitely getting there, man. So keep going. Thank you. All right, Marty says.

Is he talking about your guitar playing? because I wasn't sure what we, what subject was. I think that's what we're talking about. Marty feels I'm getting better as a guitar play, which brings me to the Howard Noyn. Let me do one real quick, because I know Hugh's going to be here. Okay.

Isn't it interesting how these callers just happen to have a topic on hand that is the next segment of Howard's show? You retiring? I actually wanted to talk about that. Bab-d-doom-bab-bing. The next caller is like, hey, so what about your guitar playing? And also, these calls are so boring that can't be real.

Who would sit on hold to talk to Howard Stern and then be like, She's getting pretty good at guitar. Some of the sudden I've been doing lately. Sounds pretty good. What? Can't take it? It's amazing.

Right. Are there screeners still? Never. What do you want to talk to Howard about? Never in the history of the Howard search or they take it that boring of a call. Yeah. And nobody's sending these notes to Robin. I love how Robin's like, what was the caller talking about?

I wasn't. Yeah, she was chucked out. Yeah, he goes, he goes, your guitar plays pretty good. What is he talking about your guitar playing? Oh, shit, Rob. It's incredible. The shit out of your ear. So then he transitions into the Howard Noyn.

Now, I talked about this on Drew Lane show. Howard's doing this year-end thing where he's bringing up the nine topics they talked about the most throughout the year on the Howard Stern show. And I brought it up on Drew's show because the first one they brought up was Thai Lady Boys. Howard at nighttime will hop on his phone on Instagram and the bunch of Thai lady boy show up. And he scrolls through that for a good amount of time. Look at these petite dudes. Why is he doing it? Has they ever explained why he's doing this?

He's into it. I don't know. Oh, all right. Well, it's crazy because we had a caller leave a voicemail who's out of that community who said, yeah, the reason why Thai lady boys are very different than like normal trans women is because they look like children. And if anyone's into Thai lady boys, that's a problem. It's problematic. It's weird that Howard would advertise that. Thought that was odd.

Anyway, so that was number nine of the Noyn topics. And Howard's guitar playing turns out to be another one on here. Isn't that a coincidence? When a guy calls it and goes, you're a pretty good guitarist, Howard, that this happens to be a segment. We're ready to go. Making it into the Howard Noin. The nine most influential people who affected us this year on the show,

2025, joining the list of Lady Boys, Beth, O's Perlman, Jeff the Bomit Guy, Ronnie, and Mike Pearlman. Joining the nine. The Howard Noyn. And the nine. On the nine, I'm going to party like it's 19. Nine.

Nine. Nine. Nine. A nine. joining the nine this morning is Howard's guitar playing Believe it or not Oh, you finally made the nine

You have not made the nine I didn't make the nine The guitar made the nine Robin's talking about it like it's a child Ooh, that's about you I would you feel special, don't you? Isn't this all about him? I'm so confused.

I'm confused. And Carl, I have to say this is making me sad just like how much i used to love howard stern listening since i was in fourth grade and in my my mom was mad that that was the alarm i woke up to was howard stern in fourth grade oh this makes me so sad it shouldn't make you happy no this segment is not a feel good segment on watop it's so upsetting we're all very upset about what's going on here because what he goes into next so they play like some of the classic how we're playing riffs and stuff throughout the last year.

And then they play this fake, prank phone call that is so fake, it's so obviously fake, and it's so poorly done and unfunny. So they play the previous prank call they did, and there's going to be a follow-up to it. Anyway, in honor of my guitar playing, you know, when I first started playing guitar, we made a phony phone call to a restaurant looking for a guitarist. The guy hated me. They were not impressed. Here's a quick reminder of that call.

Here's an A. Here's an A. Here's an A. And what am I going to do with that? I'm practicing these chords. I think you're wasting my time right now. Call me in about three years. Stop. I got a business to run. I got to go. Take care.

So we're to believe there's a, we need a guitarist at this restaurant sign. Howard calls up. This pre-recorded Howard Soundboard thing. And the guy's going, I don't know. I don't think you're that good. I mean, keep practicing, though. Let me get back to me when you get good at that. This doesn't exist in the world.

It's a phony, phony phone call. Yeah, the premise is retarded. Right. Yeah. And then it gets even dumber because they make believe they called back to that restaurant who's still looking for a guitarist a year later. They do not think much of their audience. No, they do not.

A year later. Because this restaurant owner is like into it now. Well, you see that didn't go well. I actually played for the guy. over the phone. Well, Robin, this year, in honor of my Howard Noyn guitar thing, we called back the same

restaurant now that I have another year. Yes. Let's see if I finally got the gig at the restaurant. Here we go. Hello, for a... Yeah, hi. I've called you before in the past with my client, and we really didn't get off on the right foot. He wasn't that

well-seasoned with the guitar at the time. But over the year, he's gotten really, really good. And I was wondering, would be open for possibly a Christmas show with him at your restaurant? Yeah, yeah, we've been contemplating it now. So, yeah, it would be something I would definitely consider.

Let me pause it right there. He takes a cold call to a restaurant. Hey, would you consider you didn't like this guy, but would you consider hiring him to do a Christmas show? That's actually something we've been talking about in the meetings. We need a guitarist to do a Christmas show. The restaurant meeting. Oh, my God. In what world?

Does he stutter? We may have at least pretend it was like for a cruise ship or something like that like just a guitar player for a restaurant carl you're in the you're in the industry i am is that a thing that happens regularly they just need guitar players at random applebees no it is not okay uh i'll continue out with this prank call here oh great let me put him on the phone very quickly good hello how are you i was playing a little guitar this morning for the gang and a couple of people did enjoy it. Please go on.

Like, I had to work to get to that point. Yeah, that's great. So this guy here's the Rift for Wadadaddenor Alive played very slowly. Yes. Wow. And he goes, that's great. That's really good. Yeah.

I need you in my restaurant. don't stop so now how do you make this funny well you don't but you play it on wATP they're going to try they're going to try this is how they drive this one home and the acting by this quote unquote restaurant owner

brutal oh we're so excited to come down I'm so glad you like him but there is just one stipulation here it's a bit of a deal breaker but he will only perform at your restaurant if his wife is singing while he plays guitar.

And what does she sing? Well, she's right here. Oh, oh, because of you. You're really putting yourself in a worse position right now. Woo! I think I heard enough. Let's just forget about this whole entire thing. Oh, no, no, no.

She's just warming up. Robin, give him a nice sample. Yeah, I really, I really don't want to hear a sample. Sing it, baby. I think right now it's not a really good point. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I don't have time for this. We are done with this.

There's got to be something fucking wrong, you people. Such a powerful sound. I don't have time with it. Come down. You got my number? That means you know my address. Come down. I'm going to take that guitar.

I'm going to shove it down your throat. I'm going to shove it off his ass after that. Sounds pretty good. Poor guy. I mean, you blew my chance. Thanks. I had a gig. You were almost in the door.

They had to make it so that the restaurant owner is, like, mad about it. Violent. Like, trying to, like, jerky boys' vibes going, I tell you what, you come down here? Exactly. I'll crack your head. You're like, all right. This is that how anyone would react. It's so stupid.

He hears one fucking dumb riff, and he's like, wow, you're hired. What salary would you like, sir? Pickler. Yeah. And then it turns into dumb Robin singing poorly on purpose. It's so embarrassing. And the fact that. They used to have really good prank calls on the show.

I swear to God, no one won't believe me. I swear they used to be really funny. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think you dreamt it, Carl. No, so it was great at this. God damn it. Maybe I've been wrong all along.

That's the problem with what Howard's doing right now. He's gaslighting me. I'm like, am I an idiot for ever liking this show? I know. That's how I feel about it. That's why you want all your heroes to die in their prime. That's exactly why. Yeah.

If he had gone out, some insane. gunman went into the studio in 1998, he would have been a hero forever, legend. Jim Morrison would have done so much garbage poetry. Oh, could you even imagine? We'd still be racking out that fucking guy. I mean, he did, but he could have done even more. Yeah. It's my point. Kirk Cobain would have entered into his like dance club

phase. Right. Zabba had it right. Right. He's like, yeah. Gotta go. Remember what Billy Corgan decided he shouldn't have guitars in his music anymore? That could have been Kirk Cobain. Right. Got out of there. the right time. Howard, fuck.

Carol, you're my hero. You know what I'm saying? All right. You're right. It's been a good run. All right. Speaking of guys who should have gone away and just are holding on.

Oh, the man, for the man. On the man, go to the bad. Other man, for the man. Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba. Opie on Friday had FU Friday with both co-hosts. Ron Berman, Ron the Waita, and Tony P. This guy, Dan emailed me something I thought was kind of interesting. Because you notice how Ron Berman is Ron the waiter.

But, you know, he used to have like Vic on there and Carl and there were no qualifiers. It was just saying it's Carl Ruiz, Vickenly. Well, Carl Ruiz, he would say. But with Ron, it's. Ron the waiter to let everyone know, like, I met this guy waiting my table, and that's how I look at him. He's beneath me. Because Ron has even changed his name on the stream yard to say, Ron Berman.

Yeah. He wants to be Ron. That's great. Yeah, he doesn't want to be Ron the waiter anymore. I like that. So the episode starts off with some good-natured ribbing with the guys, because as you know, Opie's announced he's allergic to Christmas trees, and Ron is Jewish. Oh, that's right.

You guys don't do the Christmas. tree, so you can't be allergic to a Christmas tree like I am. You're the only person I've ever known to be allergic to a Christmas tree. Well, it happens, Ron. You know, Hanukkah right around the corner and you guys don't do a Christmas tree. What are you going to decorate your fern this holiday, Ron? Is that what's going to happen? Manora.

Boom. Take that. Is this competition? Does anyone have their eyes? open on this podcast. This is crazy. I don't know why Tony P is leaning into the microphone. Who's closer?

I mean, Jesus. It was like they're applying their makeup. You ever see a woman? Have you ever see a woman in a makeup mirror? They're like getting real close to it. And it's funny because someone outed, oh, it was Adam Bush was on the show. And he talked about how Opie turned on the camera early and started streaming early. And Tony P. was smoking a joint.

It's like 5 a.m. That's great. Yeah, so you can see why he looks the way that he does. All right, so Opie decides to go through the introductions. Fortunately, because this show just starts, it just goes. You know, he didn't sing his little song. They just had the three guys that started to bust each other's chops real quick. So Opie decides, like, I'm going to be a professional here and introduce the guys on the show.

You guys, I can't believe it. You guys were so upset because, in its essence, a menorah is just like a branch, right? I don't know, Tony. By the way, that's Tony P. Very funny comedian. That's Ron the waiter. Very funny comedian. And a podcast person, podcast host.

Opie, and he says this during this episode, too. He is still saying that more people listen to a show than watch it on YouTube. He gets big numbers on the audio version. That's what they're recording right now is the audio version of his podcast. So I think it's important to be like, by the way, these two annoying idiots that you're listening to are Tony Pee and Ron the waiter. It's good that he at least explain that. But to say they're very funny comics, Chris, you found something that Ron was promoting the other day,

a comedy show that Tony P was also featured on. Yeah, on Instagram with about six or seven other people. It's one of those shows, and we're all familiar with these, where it's like none of these people are funny, but if they get enough of them and all of them can bring three or four friends, they'll pack a small room, and they'll act like their comedians putting out. a comedy show.

Yeah. And it says no cover. So that's like a warning. Now, I've seen this many times before. I have a lot of friends who are comedy adjacent in this town. And so I see a lot of these shows crop up where a lot of these guys get together and put on these comedy shows. Yeah.

The difference is they're in their 20s. Right. Right. These guys are in their twilight here, still pretending to be state of comics. And Opie's buying into it. Opie used to Patrice O'Neill and Bill Burr and. Calvin Quinn on the show is going, the very funny Tony P is with me, everyone. Wow, that's crazy.

It's insane. Wow. Is it just me or does Opie look like an elderly female ghost? Oh. Like he looks like he's going to visit Ebenezer Scrooge or something. Yeah, the ghost of Christmas future for Ellen DeGeneres. Yeah, wow. This is wild.

Okay. All right. So Ron does the thing that we all love, where he gets up and starts showing off his apartment. and of course opi is appalled by this disgusting place he lives in. Is the fern still alive or did you bury that in Coney Island like you did that skull that they

found? I'm paying attention to Ron. Oh, look at that. My little Jewish nook. Look at that. I see the Jewish nook, okay. Oh, this apartment is oh, look at the fern. It's taking up the whole

living room. It's going to be it one day. My roommate like you're going to have to put it outside soon i'll put you outside stuff that drop ceiling is depressing yeah it's it looks very short yeah it looks like a depressing place to uh to live this is so sad like you're you're you used to be famous you have money like you said nothing's liquid but he's got enough money to live where he lives and you're just showing off your sad poor friend's apartment on your podcast and you said this is for audio listeners what's the point of this at a certain point

he's walking around and opi goes all right ron we can't keep showing off your apartment this is an audio podcast that we're doing but you heard what opi said there about coney island he's about burying that fern because i guess he goes to coney island or something and open didn't get any credit for that he's like i'm paying attention so he circles back to it and needs to get the credit for this I love how you ignored me when I said, are you going to bury the fern in Coney Island like you did that skull? You go to Coney Island all the time, and they dug up, what, human bones recently?

What? So I guess this was a story that they found like a graveyard or something on Coney Island. Oh, so if you're a regular listener of the podcast, maybe you don't know who Tony P is, but you're aware of this story. But the premise is that Ron's the one who buried them because Ron visits Coney Island often. Sure. So he must be the person who's burying both his fern, his Hanukkah fern, and those bodies that they found that have been there for years. So Ron must come back with an awesome joke, right?

No, Ron's as it's as confused as you both are. Oh, okay. Everyone on the show is like, okay, Opie, yep. Cool, man. Great reference. We all got it. So this is not in reference to, oh. Opie burying the bodies of his family members.

That's what I thought at first. I thought he was like going to like wink at Adam Bush for a minute. I'd be like, Cody, I was like, you should bury that fern next to my wife. Right. You won't find a head or hands,

but anyway. So Opie then has to set up what they're doing on the show today. Like I said, it's Friday. It's FU Friday. And listen how passive aggressive he has with his two co-hosts. And keep in mind, Ron has to bring all the topics and all the content.

to the show whenever he's on. So how is everybody? It's FU Friday. Did you come up with a little list of things that bother you in this world, in this life? Anything that bothered you this week? Anything that bothers you about the holiday season? Anything. Let us know in the chat.

All right. I got one. I got one. Yeah. Because I know you guys don't have any. I have plenty this week. Oh, you do? Tony.

Wow. I know you assholes didn't bring any FU Fridays for. for me today. So I brought my own. And then Tony goes, I have some stuff. He's like, oh, you do? Really? We'll see about that. Well, Doug, I pulled clips from the Stephen Baldwin podcast because I know you. Yep. No, I have funny clips because I know you're going to try to ruin my show again. So this is after he calls out Tony and calls out Ron, because they're not bringing stuff. Listen to what Opie brings for his FU Friday. This has to be the hackiest thing he could have brought. Tony, you got, you got a microwave at work? Yes. Where everyone just

shares the microwave, right? No. Absolutely. How do you feel about people? Now, you're like blue collar, so this ain't happened to you. People are just, you're talking about the disgusting I'm going to tell you what. But I just realized you're blue collar, so this doesn't happen to you at work. I hate people that microwave fish. Didn't do that one coming, did you? How do you ruin your own bit? Tony is yes and you. You don't need to put a stop to this, Opie.

Well, it wasn't a stop. He's putting him down. Yes. Right. No, of course. You wouldn't even get this. It ruins the whole thing. Your blue color, you wouldn't get this.

He's like, no, we have a microwave of work. Yeah, but you don't eat fish. It's like, what the fuck? I can't believe Opie brought the microwaving fish at work gripe. I mean, he really is auditioning for morning radio in 1992. Yeah.

Oh, he needs his time machine. And he might get a job again someday. Wow. And that's after him calling Tony out and calling his spot. That's what he came in with. So then Tony comes back with a joke for this because Tony's a very funny comic. And O.P. gives him huge credit.

You should put fish in a microwave. fish is like the hoo-ha. You got to eat it fresh. Yes, you do. You don't want day old hoo-ha. You don't want the old fish. No way, man.

That's a good point. Is it? What is day-old hoo-ha? I like 38-year-old hoo-ha. Yeah, that's not fresh at all. That's what he's talking about. It's on the other side of ripe at that point. So, but Opie's like, ah, yeah, yeah, pussy jokes.

Good stuff, Tony. Thanks you're bringing it. Rod over here is not pulling his weight. So thank God. Ron, don't get no pussy. Thank God you brought the hoo-ha joke. Good stuff. Tony's very proud of himself.

The boss liked it. So that's good. Wow. Now, Tony's going to bring his FU Friday. And no one can understand what he's saying. So I'm just going to play. And over time, everyone figures it out. The vet bothered me.

I hate vets. I hate them. I hate them. The vets, veterinarians. That's why? Yeah, because I fucking go. Yeah, I'm sorry. Veterinarians.

I'm sorry, not veterans. I hate veterinarians, bro. Why? They pretend like they give a shit. They overcharge you. They don't care. It's just all the business. Do you understand?

And then, you know, I was 15 minutes late once. They took my fucking appointment away. I'm there. My wife's fucking there. We have the fucking dogs. We're waiting. for him, waiting for him, waiting for him. This guy goes 45 minutes late, right?

45 minutes late. Yeah. They do this test, they do that test. The reason I took my dog there was for blood work. They called me back with one dog's blood work. The other dog, they pulled the blood, said my wife declined the blood work. Okay, I don't think Tony's understanding the format of the show. No.

This is basically a conversation you had with a good friend who knows you and your wife and probably familiar with your dogs. Yeah. You know, then you'd be like, oh, well, listen. know what happened to me with the vet. That it makes sense in that context, even though it's also annoying to have that conversation. Yes. I was 15 minutes late, and they didn't get me in.

Yeah. They have a schedule. Be on time to an appointment. If you're a good friend, you're saying they're going, wait, wait, you were 15 minutes late, so then they were 45 minutes late. Right.

And you don't like, vets are only in it for the money. I would be so confused having an actual conversation of one-on-one with this guy as to what he's talking about. Oh, the vets don't have the same. same kind of personal connection to your dog that you do? You don't say.

How is that possible? So what are you going to order? Yeah, right. Holy shit. He goes off and they're just like sitting back there going, oh, this is just like a really personal story that. Yeah, not really relatable. So then Opie, because Opie lives in Manhattan, he has his own issues with the back.

Because he only has doggy. Allegedly. Well, yeah, we've seen doggy not too long ago. So I think he still exists. and doggy, you know, has a vet that he needs to go to, but Opie is broke. So that's going to be a problem. I got a vet, and it's way out east on Long Island because I tried the vets in this area. Same shit.

They overcharge you for, you know, basic services for your dog. So I found a vet that is, I don't know, about 90 miles away from here. And every time the dog needs something, like immediately, I call them. They squeeze me in and I jump in a car and I go out there for all my vet need. 90 miles The dog's doctor is 90 miles away They took me right away The dog bled out in the back seat of the car

But still That's insane Opie is so poor And he comes off so poorly Yeah but I think he's trying to big time him In that poor way Yeah I go out to the Hamptons That's where I see my back

Because I can't afford the ones in Manhattan Okay I found a guy that's a crazy story what is 90 miles away from us like heresy Pennsylvania yeah like you got really far drive I could probably get to Doug's house in 90 miles I'm not wrong holy shit um all right so let's get off to vet talk because that was really weird

he's like ah you know what I'm pissed off it's the vets they're both like what that's me too right because you got to open he went out like an Eric Zane style rant about how he hates veterans you're like oh i'm talking about veterinarians oh well kind of hilarious like that would make me laugh that would have been good actually all right so ron was not prepared with the correct homework assignment what about you what about you ron anything bothering you this week ronty boy ron ron ron well i didn't prepare what's bothering me because don't we do who's the man on Friday?

I think it's a combo. We do who to man every, every time we do this. Sometimes we don't get to it, but, you know. Well, that's not every time, is it? I got a backlog of who demands for some reason. I love that. Open pretends to have a show for it. I know, right?

That's hilarious. But how funny is that? Ron's like, oh, shit, I did the wrong homework assignment. Oh, no. I thought you meant fuck Friday. Right. Yes. No, F you, Opie.

And do some alliteration. Houdamand Mondays, FU Fridays. Do it that way. Keep up. So, yeah, Ron is upset that he brought Houda man and not FU Friday. So Opie pivots, you know, he's a skilled broadcaster. And he realizes like, oh, okay, you know, let's shift over to that. And Tony is not happy.

I got, I got, can I start with Houda man and then we go to yours, Ron? Go ahead. I got it. Okay, we'll go back to FUs. Go ahead. What? Were you about to say no one's going to beat your Houda man? No, no, no, no, FUs.

I thought we were still on FU. Yeah, we could do FU. We could do whatever we want. Tony's on our whole. Go ahead, be positive. That's hilarious. It's like, oh, but I brought more FUs. Oh, we're already.

All right. I should have started with that vet one. Is there a chance that Tony can't hear Ron and Ron can't hear Tony? That's funny. That would make more sense on the show because the communication is not great. I don't see how Tony was confused by anything we just heard. We're moving on from FUs already because Opie, as soon as he hears who to man, Opie goes, oh, well, I'm going first on who to man.

I've never seen this before where they're arguing about show segments. Right. That's never a thing on this show. This is crazy. Carl, when are we going to get to cringe of the week? I know. I'm sorry. We'll get there.

No, we do cringe of the week on Wednesdays now, Doug. We don't do them on our Saturday shows. Oh, okay. All right, got it. Opie, did you remember to sing a ridiculous song? at the beginning? No, he's not doing anything, right? So, Opie actually came, and I was floored by this. Opie came prepared with a who to man.

Check this out. So we're off to a good start. And, and here's my who to man today. It's our Lord and Savior. You know, it's the holiday season. So let's, uh, Donald Trump is my Lord and Savior. And he is the man today, because he figured out the economy. with this simple clip. Anything you need, you need steel. You know, you can give up certain products. You can give up pencils.

That's under the China policy. You know, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need one or two. You know, they don't need that many. But you always need, you always need steel. You don't need $37 for your daughter. Two or three is nice, but you don't need $37. So we're doing things right.

We're right. Is that real or is that AI? Of course it's real. Trump is. No, Danny Garg's good savior. And he knows how to figure out the economy. Stop buying so many pencils. And you'll have enough money for Christmas gifts.

You'll have enough money to fill your gas tank. You'll have enough money at the grocery. Let me tell you something. You just got to buy less pencils. Wow. Opie brought a clip. I was blown away by this. When Aaron Imold insults me and says Carl is just Opie, I'm like,

Motherfucker, Opies ever brought a clip. Now maybe I am open. Maybe Aaron's right. Just prove me right. Because holy shit, Opie was prepared. Ron stepped on his joke, unfortunately. He was talking about our Lord and Savior.

He's like, hey, Donald Trump. He's like, yeah. Thanks for doing that, asshole. That's why I was surprised when the clip came on. I'm like, is Ron introducing this? What's happening? I was shocked. So he's almost prepared because what he forgot to do was have something interesting or funny

to say after watching the clip. Like his analysis was way off. He's just like, what do you mean? He's too busy, victory lapping. Yeah, he's yelling and screaming. He's turning his head wildly side to side for some reason as he talks. Yep, no, you're right.

OOP has said many times that if he did one of these shows that reacted to clips, he'd be the best at it. And based on that, it's pretty good. I might need to see more. Might need to see more before I hand him over the title on this one. But what's even crazier, aside from the fact that he brought nothing interesting to say about that clip, it turns out he misunderstood it.

Because listen to what he says on the follow-up. You know, he thinks, this is what he thinks of women. This is what he thinks of women. That, you know, they're basically less than a man. You know that he thinks that women are less than a man. And he thinks girls, as long as you give them $37, they're good. They're good. If you don't give your daughter $37, sorry, $37 and they're not going to be good.

So he said he cut back on everything. That's what he's saying. He's saying you shouldn't have 87 pairs of sneakers or 50 pairs of shoes. No, he didn't say that, Tony. Opey's exactly what he was saying. Yeah, Tony. Tony was right on. And he'll be immediately, it's to be like, you're wrong, you idiot.

Yeah. He gaslights poor Tony who backs down immediately. Yes, he's like, how can I tell the boss? He's an idiot. Right. So, he goes, yeah, Trump thinks the girls need $37. He literally said you don't need $37. Two or three is fine.

Wow. One of the absolute moron opious. This is why OPEC should have a political show about Trump. You know, he teases it all the time. Ron, if you and I just had a show talking about Trump, we had such a big audience, maybe he would. Maybe a lot of people clipping it. Wow.

Like you said, I am impressed that he brought a clip. He had something to talk about, something to show. I mean, his reaction was terrible, and it was uninteresting and certainly not funny. But he, I don't know, making steps. It was teed up. He had an introduction to it. Ron ruined that, but he had a thing. He was going to hit it, and he hit it right away.

He played it, and he laughed real hard after it. Like, what an idiot Trump is, right? And so Tony wants to keep the conversation going. He's a yes ander, as you can see. So because they're talking about pencils, and it's fewer pencils, not less pencils. I don't want to be suffering John on this one, but it drives me crazy. I hope we keep saying less pencils. But because they brought that up, Tony's got a little conversation starter here.

Oh, that brings me to a question. Do you think at some point in time pencils will be like extinct? Yeah. What? Do you think pencils will be extinct? Well, he goes, yes. Yeah, of course. Put them on a list somewhere.

Why even ask such a stupid question? Yeah. All right. So then after that, they get into this heated political debate because Ron's a Democrat, Tony's a Republican, and so they're talking. about tax policy and you name it. It's going back and forth. It sucks.

But then they get to talking about Kathy Hockel. Now, Kathy Hockel is our fine governor here in the state of New York. And thank God for the opster and the callback. Hockel, speaking of microwaved fish. And Ron thinks he's sexy. Oh, my God. It's a pretty hot political take right there. Yeah.

Speaking of microwaveed fish. Now, Chris doesn't understand this, Doug. So, guys, we'll talk about this. So I love to think that women's vaginas have a fishy odor to them. And that's the reference that's being made here. Vagina, you say. So listen, I want you, I'm going to play this again. I want you to watch Tony's reaction to Opie's joke.

Because Tony does not think it's funny. But realizes he should be laughing. And he's about three beats late on this. Uh-huh. Hockel, speaking of microwaved fish. And Ron likes the Ron thinks he's sexy. Oh my God. A little overcompensation there.

Yeah. And then it was the funniest joke he ever heard. That's called Stephen Baldwin. Yeah. I like how he has to shake it off. No, no. You can't. Don't see my great fish again.

I can't take it. So that's an interesting grouping right there. You know, I've talked about how Stuttering John's show, some of his co-hosts like Aba and Keanu I'm just not into it it's not an interesting show at all when those two are on but Opie with these two idiots I kind of like it I kind of like the element that Tony brings because Tony's retarded yeah I was going to ask Tony what is English his second language or is he just have a weird accent that I can't pinpoint that's Tony Pee did anyone hey really about it I have no idea I didn't do a lot of research into Tony's past. I didn't hear much from the guy, but I just wasn't sure if you knew. I think it's just a burnout. Okay.

I think he's just slow. Okay. But let's keep our eyes peeled on Tony because the honeymoon will be over soon if he stays on the show. Oh, yeah. And I can't wait for that. Agreed. He and Ron will be going back and forth. They'll be going at it.

They'll be battling for the number two seat. Yeah. Oh, and Opie's setting that up to happen, too. Yeah. I can feel it brewing. Yep. All right. Let's check it on Suttering John.

All right. I don't know if you guys have seen that already made an appearance. He went to Jeff Ross's show. recently and all of a sudden people saw Artie Lang again for the first time in over a year at least, maybe a couple of years and he's reconstructed his nose a little bit. I heard some talk about his new nose.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it seems like things are doing better for Artie, which is great. And of course, John Mulan is an Artie. We're a really good friend. That was John's best friend on the Howard Stern show. I'll tell you that. I love him. Yep. So let's see how John responds to seeing a photo of Artie.

but what would already come back and why come back on this nonsense I think it's just that I think he just was at something and someone got a photograph

it was the first time he was just seen him so I don't think it's like him saying he's doing anything I think that it's just the first

photograph we've seen of him um um you just said to me no it's one of those like web Pete things

Give me one second This is after a stand-up show on Thursday And yes he's pretty intoxicated How can you tell Good point It's a difference It's the way he put on his makeup Yep

Here we go It's in the Oh well okay At the stage So this is the first Yeah so this is the first photograph People have seen him already And everyone that was there is saying

He has a new re- constructed. It still doesn't look that great. Oh, I'm glad that he's... I didn't know what was going on with him. I mean, I don't understand, like, I'd never understood how it was...

That's Jeffrey Ross. I see Jeffrey. Go left to right and just name everyone, sure. So, isn't that great? There's already, he's finally back. We finally see a photo of him after a year or two. and John, like, still doesn't look that great. He still looks like shit.

He thinks he's still competing with Artie for some reason. Jesus Christ. To hold grudges like this as a 60-year-old man. It's always got. That's crazy. It's always got. Well, John has performed two stand-up shows since the last time we checked in on him. He had a show Thursday night in Indiana somewhere, and then a show last night in Ohio somewhere.

and I know that O.J. went to the show in Ohio. I heard him talking about that on B. Dabler this morning. But first, let's find out more about the show that John performed in Indiana on Thursday night. He talks about it after his show. It is not, it wasn't sold out. Oh. It was actually kind of empty. but

well see I'm not like one of these guys that are going to lie to you but I have a great time and I did yeah he's not one of those guys I'm going to lie to you but I had a great time

and I did I did this you know I did an extended set I tried some new tried some new stuff, which was good. It's good to try some new stuff, John. Yeah, especially if you face yourself a stand-up. So it's been reported there were like 21 people there

and that 90% were dabblers. The people who showed up were all because of the dabblerverse. I mean, maybe the capacity was 25. It wasn't. Oh. Unfortunately, no, it was a pretty sad-looking room that John performed that. But he doesn't care.

It doesn't matter to him. And he goes, I had fun, which is, you know, like what Keanu says when she goes, it does a show at the Villa Roma, because he mayors content hotel. Ah, we had fun. That's all that matters. We'd fun. How did you were there? It's so much fun.

Who cares? You not hearing how much fun I had? I can't remember the last time I had so much fun. Oh my gosh. You guys are mad because we had so much fun. That's what's going. That's why I keep asking questions. You're hung up on success and numbers.

Yeah, right. So this is what's awesome about this. John gets back to, I think he's staying at the owner's house, although that does look like a hotel room, but he claims he's staying at the owner's house. And he gets back, and the first thing he realizes, and I think this is the first time he's had this epiphany, is that he might be more famous because of the devilverse than because of his time on the Howard Stern show. There are people now in the crowd that are into the devil verse.

and I can't believe it it's like it's a thing now literally because after I did a Q&A and I was like all right you know because they didn't have a middler

so I did about an hour and then I did a Q&A and there were actually people that are into the dattle verse and I personally I personally

can't believe that people are actually into the invested in this nonsense wow what is he surprised by is that amazing this is insane he finally realizing that like people actually know me because of the last

five years of me being a buffoon on the internet yeah yeah carl i i have an honest question for you and this is something i just i wonder on my own from time to time yeah i should not think about this as much as i do if after your initial stuttering john show if he never heard it or didn't respond would he be better or worse off today? Okay, I'll say two things on that. Okay. One, and I think I'm going to prove it in this clip package, that John owes me and Shulie for the money that he makes today.

We are the reasons why, and, you know, an O.J. and in Cardiff, and a lot of the people who have been playing in the Stavelverse for a while, a lot of the clippers and Davenors Anonymous, we're all the reason why people are paying attention to him, giving him money, having him read these super checks, to humiliate him going to these live shows and things like that however and i said this before if we hadn't made john a recurring segment on w tp and we made fun of them and just moved down like we do most other podcasts someone else would have discovered this okay john would become okay

the devilverse would have been called something different and but he's still like the world's greatest locale okay there's no way someone doesn't stumble upon this idiot bragging about his accomplishments I knew that monetarily he'd be worse off, and that's kind of hard to believe. But I kind of was wondering, like, mentally, would he be better off? I guess my point is, we would have gotten to this place no matter what. Sure. Okay. All right.

Because this is just the natural way of things. This is the natural order of the universe. For him to be in some club owner's attic talking about how, could you believe the people who are there clowning me on the Internet? That's, yes, of course we can. So yes, he's finally realized the devil verse is real. It's a real thing. It's not just internet trolls.

It's real people who come out. And the dablers are great. They're generous. And had two beers at the bar with Dan and this guy, Henry, who both were invested in this devilverse. Henry was a big fan of WATP. You know what I'm talking about. Why do you be a podcast?

WDTP It's a bit a minute. Looking good, buddy. Wow. And Dan, I mean, Henry, was invested. Like, he likes Lady Kate's show, and I'm like, The guy broadcasted like this.

He's hung up on that. He is. That's his new thing now. The word invested. Shout out to Henry. Thanks, man. Thanks for supporting the show and telling John that you're a fan. I appreciate that.

And so that's John's new thing. Now he's decided I'm a bad broadcaster because of the way I tilt my head. So the video screen that I'm looking at is that way. That's why I look that way. But I'm doing the show. Sometimes I look over Chris. Like this. It's crazy.

It's crazy. A room full of things going on. But John's decided this makes me a bad broadcaster. He's not even looking at the fucking camera. How are you a fan of this? He's like, well, he just, you know, he does different things. He has segments and, but he still sucks. He can't wrap his head around it.

He's like, nope, you like, nope, you like this guy? he's not even staring directly into the camera when he does a podcast. Yeah, and there's Joe Rogan. No. We're talking about. Well, I don't know.

Someone told him that this is the thing to rag on me about as if I'm going to be like, oh, shit, from now I podcast like this, I'm so sorry that I did that. No one else noticed. It's like, this is a very fucking normal thing. What he's doing is making me very uncomfortable. I don't like it when he looks directly at me. Right.

He's not a good looking guy. And I'm guessing that the filter works better straight on. which is why has that filter cranked that filter he talked about a midler earlier he is looking a lot like bet midler this is insane i was checking out i almost i had this ready to go for point dabble point but then we had so much to talk about with miss judy on monday i didn't get to it but someone in dabbers anonymous found out that when john has the solo cup and he puts it up to his face and drinks it the filter doesn't realize it's looking at a face anymore and it turns off And you can see his neck and all his wrinkles. He starts melting. It's hilarious. Just to be able to contrast the two things. So, yeah, I don't look at the camera.

So he's worried for this Henry guy. Well, he doesn't understand how podcasting works and what he should be entertained by. And he also has some other concerns about my performance. I can't understand how anybody. would find Lady Kay funny because there's nothing funny about Lady Kay. But he just liked the format of the show. I'm like, are you having a mind? It must be good of steering the ship, John.

Yeah. It must be something I'm doing to have no comedic talent and to be able to host a comedy podcast for going on 10 years in a couple months. Yeah, coming out. She's pretty incredible. That could possibly happen. So I love this because John is realizing right now,

and I like these little intoxicated, so he's got his guard down. He's realizing that the devil verse is not about hate. And this is the thing that Gino and Aaron and a lot of these idiots can't figure out. They're like, oh, it's just all these fucking haters. They just want to hate on you. It's like, no, no, these guys like WTP and go, hey, let's get down there early and get a drink with John. And they buy him a beer and they hang out.

And they're like, hey, we're here with the Duke. And guys called in to El Hariblai show this morning who went to the Friday night show. And very similar thing. They're like, oh, it was a train wreck. It was so cool to see him on stage doing a stand-up. It was a surreal moment to watch this guy in person. They're not throwing tomatoes at him or anything like that. There to watch and enjoy.

The disconnect is wild and all these stupid babies on the internet. And I mean, I'll go all the way back, Carl, when you made fun of my show, you and Jenny, I thought it was hilarious. Like, I loved it. Like, I could not wait for you to talk about my show and drag on me and my co-host. I found it delightful. Judd and I were very mean about your show. I loved it.

It was so great. It was so wonderful. It led to me being here today. It was so much fun. And when these people can't understand that, and they're so invested in this absolute garbage that they put on the internet, I cannot understand that. And John would tell you, if you asked him if he has a sense of humor about himself.

Oh, yeah. I was. And he's thick skin and things roll off his bag. Just going to say, the way this man is wired, he can't be embarrassed, but he cannot laugh at himself. There's no in-between. He goes for the jugular, should you say, even the mildest thing about him.

You know, your stand-up wasn't great. Fuck you! There's a thing happening right now that I'm not thrilled with. Shouley is off of YouTube again, the Shuli Network, because they're just getting strikes, copyright strikes,

nonstop, coming from Stuttering John or Stuttering John's channel. And what happened Thursday night was Uncle Rico's doing their show like they always do, and then all of a sudden, boom, they're off of YouTube. And they're only on Rumble. And there was a copyright strike that happened during the show where YouTube shut it down.

That same time, John is on stage performing stand-up. So then there's speculation. Does John have someone else using his channel to strike Shulie's channel? is that possible and people are speculating maybe Ava is the one who's taken over John's channel and is doing that sort of thing

so John has to explain no no no no no I'm the one striking everyone the strikes are from me and it is only from me and I know all you idiots are going to try and blame

of a problem because you're anti-trans or something ridiculous. They are from me. So John's very proud of this. He's weaponizing the copyright system in YouTube. Because he knows it's a fair use. We've been doing this.

Shooey's been doing this. So the fact that all of a sudden now, he's just striking channels that are playing clips of his show is not in good faith. And also, well, it's also against YouTube's terms of service when you strike something and you know that they're not infringing. on your copyright. But also

the fact that Shulie and I have an anti-slapped motion in place right now, it seems like a really bad idea. It's a bad look to be striking channels and trying to take him down like actively trying to shut down his free speech. And bragging about it. And bragging about it. And taking all the credit.

Yeah, taking all the credit. That's the thing I have an issue with. Like, I understand John has a lot of time on his hands, but I doubt that he uses that time productively. Right. So, he's explaining that like he has no other choice so if he continues to violate my rights then what do you want me to do what do you want me to do don't violate my rights his hands are tied here people and this is why i think it's important that we mentioned

john is making a living doing this today because of the dabble verse and yet he hates it. He has, there is no plan B. He'll tell you he made money on his political show or he made money with Royce, with his ad reads. He didn't. He was not making a living from any of these things. No.

John, embrace this. 20 out of the 21 people that showed up to your stupid show were there because of this. And it's, it's sad because I think what's going to happen, and I think John's going to lose his channel. Because like I said, this is against the terms of service to go around and weaponize the copyright.

strike system and someone's going to look at this especially when he's been striking as much as he has been and vindictively and going on and going yeah their channels down and smiling and laughing and it's like this is just a bad look all around and it it freaks me out because you know basically this is just mutually assured destruction once you start this game where it's just like we strike new strike and it's like okay this is the middle east we're gonna solve this someday no it's never going to get solved if that's what we're doing this is the bloods in the crips right here it's just like yeah we're just do this forever now okay cool trying to do a fun comedy show over here um actually he's got a a real itchy palm and he's

bragging more about striking f shit way it keeps striking hey listen man You know, if they're going to keep violating my rights, I'm going to keep fucking protecting them. But they don't understand it. That's on them. That's on them. High-pitched John. Yeah, I know.

What's going on with that? It's a horrible way to live your life. He's doing this all wrong. And it's not going to end well. Also, the itchy palm thing, I think we've talked about this. It's organ failure, right? It's a symptom of organ failure. I was going to say,

I feel like I've heard that when it comes to liver failure. Yeah. So we're worried about you, Johnny. Yeah. I know. You just drink beer and you drink a tall glass of water with your beer. So you'll be good forever, but we're worried about you. Don't forget the insure.

You're right. He's also got that. And he goes to the gym. I forget that. So John has had another following out with Vince the lawyer. Oh, no again? I know. And it started with Point Dabble Point because Vince said that he was an alcoholic.

and John says, no, I'm a functional alcoholic. So how can you dare you say I'm an alcoholic? So John was very upset about that. And then Vince is trying to make up with them and he's texting him and it's too much. And so John decides that Vince is being a child. Although when he describes this, it sounds

like John's being the child. I got to treat you like a child. And the only way to treat a child like a child is by putting you in a time out. Although this is an extended one.

This might be a year long one or indefinite. Why? Because I am so sick of you incessantly

texting me. Well, I'm at the goddamn gym. And you incessantly. text me when I don't want you to text me

if only there was a way to like I don't know silence your phone or not have it on you block text from certain people if only there was a way around this so that John could control the information that he sees come up on his phone. It's too bad. My favorite thing to do

is to text everyone in my phone and say I am now open to texts. Right. Yes. I'll let you know when I'm ready to receive your text. But if I'm on the treadmill, I'll be to get so fucking pissed. The beauty of text messages, and I've explained this to friends of mine, is that you don't have to respond right away. Oh, yeah.

They'll sit there. They'll be there. They'll still be there when you come back to your phone later. It's fine. But yeah, so there's, and Fugico pointed out in the chat very well, the status between John and Vince it used to be like month to month day to day it went to you're like are they good are they bad now it's just hour an hour so right now John's probably texting with Vince with his feet up on the bed kicking him yeah who knows the concept isn't boring these two but the content of that constantly fucking happening yep is so gay yep and it's a it's a same relationship relationship for two adult men to have. Vince is orchestrating it.

He loves it. Sure. He wants this to happen. Of course, for years where it's like, I'll never talk to you ever again. And then he's like, they're chumming it up in a fucking Atlantic City hotel room.

But then they're off again. And then next thing you know, Vince is sending food and drinks at John's house. He's loving it. All right. So, John's talking to these dabblers. Well, before I get to that, we've talked about this many times. John cannot be embarrassed. Correct.

It's one of the traits that he has that makes him unique. And it's no exception when he plays a very lightly packed room. And I'm not going to lie. There was like 30, 40 people. It wasn't crowded. Am I embarrassed? No. I am not embarrassed at all.

No one asked you. You asked you. If a club order wants to book me and pay me, I will show. I did two radio shows to promote it. I did everything I can. Well, that's not good. Everything described me here is not good. He's like, I did everything I could to promote it.

No one showed up. And if a guy wants to book me and pay me to not perform and lose money on it, I'll do that. Yeah. He's not going to get a lot of gigs in the future with saying this stuff out loud. Well, it's a win-win. and I don't understand how you're not seeing this. Luckily, no promoters are watching this, so. No, they wouldn't be.

John insists he's still a headlining stand-up comic. But you have to understand he played a movie theater last night. Comics play comedy clubs, and they play the weekend, multiple shows. That's how headlining works. John's not a headliner. A headliner. But he was there to introduce a film, right? No.

Oh. it was his it was his show blank man oh my god the show last night because oj was explaining it on be dadwin live the show last night was this movie theater where there were 20 people who came in and it holds like a hundred people you know it's a movie theater yeah yeah yeah and i did that open mic in a movie theater recently where i did john's material and that was a smaller theater yes this is like a real size right movie theater and john had a drive because I have clips coming up where he's riding with the owner of this place. They drove over four hours to get to it. It's in this like crazy remote place. OJ explained driving through farmland for days to get to this venue. Wow. It's like, what is the model here?

What's the business model where John's just going to go perform in some place that's secluded that no one can get to that's five hours from an airport? Why? well he'll drive two to four hours to try and get late and fail right so that he could say I had a date true so I think that's what this is

is gas free or something what's going on yeah it is if you're not driving it's gonna cost more money to get to this he doesn't give a fuck that he's making once he gets there and he needs the money because the dabblers are there to try to help him out like I said this isn't a hate community

there's a lot of love here and the dabblers trying to help John out to make more. And they were telling me that I should really get my shit together because I could be making a lot more money. I should talk to Fatty Patty about the super tips. I don't know. I mean, maybe that is an option.

It is. I haven't thought about it. You hadn't? your only way to make money, aside from playing to 20 people somewhere in Indiana and somewhere else in Ohio, the only way that he makes money

is through super chats. And he goes, I never thought about how to maximize the income through my super chats. Super tips would be amazing for John because he has to let them play all the way out. We doesn't have to. You can pause him.

You can pause him. He won't figure that out. Because when he doesn't like a question, he'll just deflect or ignore it or. but I think a guy in a cubicle for 20 years being like I don't know somebody told me maybe I should apply for a promotion right maybe I really haven't thought about it someone to tell you right you should try to make more money that's insane and remember John can't be embarrassed but YouTube should be ashamed you know because YouTube does take 30 to 40 percent I mean fucking are they how robbery and YouTube be ashamed. Parasites. That's how YouTube works.

YouTube can't be ashamed of itself. Jonathan, YouTube. You're right. Fucking idiot. All right. So, John is in the car on his way to the club the next day in Ohio. And he's riding with the owner of the club to the gig. Like I said, it's over four hours.

to three hours in to the ride and he's having a hard time starting his podcast because he can't connect to the internet on his laptop that he has set up there and there's a real interesting reason why he can't hook up to the internet on his laptop. Hey everybody, how are you?

I've been working for the last half hour trying to figure out the hot spot only to realize I didn't have I didn't spend the extra 10 bucks for a hot spot. 30 minutes it took you. 30 minutes. And he even explains he had a call Verizon or whatever his phone company is,

probably bitching at them. How come my hotspot isn't working? They're like, sir, that was an option you could have paid for, $10 a month. And then you can connect to the internet, run any device, anywhere you want. Put Mr. Cricket on. Right. Ten bucks a month. That's outrageous.

Fucking idiot. all this stuff's a write-off of him, by the way. So he couldn't figure out. I'm sure he's using his buddy Chris's hot spot now because after he gets out the phone, he's like, oh, oh, I have to pay for that. Oh, okay. Well, never mind. You know, I'm sure it was just like, well, turn it on.

Let's go. Right. I doubt that's what it was. So you just heard the show from the night before. He comes on and he goes, guys, I did a show. It was good. Not a lot of people there, but whatever. I'm not embarrassed by it.

Not a big deal. And then listen to how his demeanor has changed. You're 100%. I like to be at my best, although last night was not. It was not my, I mean, it was just a nightmare, you know, but. Why laughing? Oh, it wasn't that crowded, you know, you know, it was an early show. And there wasn't that many people there.

And then the opener only supposed to do 20. I think you only did like 10 or 15 so so I had to do like I sure five yeah oh no I did like it I did about an hour so much has changed now now that show was a nightmare he's describing the exact same show yeah now it was a nightmare and then the oversaw supposed to do 20 but only did 15 Clay goes okay so he had to do an extra five he goes no no no I almost did an hour whereas last night he said he did like an hour 20 with the Q&A portion I'm also confused. Who's driving this car? Okay, so the driver is the guy, Chris, who's sitting next to John?

Wait, who's Chris? Chris owns the club that he's driving him to. Oh, he's, okay, so he's talking about the performance. Wait, I'm sorry. He's out his way to the Friday night gig, talking about the Thursday night gig. Oh, okay, okay. So it's not the guy who owns the Thursday night club. What are you doing?

I didn't explain that, right? Okay, that's fine. That's right. I thought he was taking him back to the airport or something. Now he's sober. Don't listen to this. So now he's sober. He's on with Clay Dabbler.

And what happened is he stays in Indiana the night at the other guy's house. The guy who owns this club has to drive the four plus hours to pick John up and then drive John all the way to his club. So this guy's in the car for nine, ten hours to get John to his club that he performed at last night that, again, had 20 to 25 people attend. You know I like to drive. No fucking way. Could you imagine? No, John's so needy. And remember, he just figured all this out on his show like this week

where he's just like, oh, where is this comedy club? We don't even know where it was. Right. And then he's looking up, he's like, well, it's like three hours from the airport. You have no idea how he's going to get there. And you're in the car with the guy who's club you're going to talking about what a disaster your performance last night was. Yeah.

Also, the guy that he's in the car with is the opener. So the guy who owns the club opening the show for him. Oh, that's so good. It's ridiculous. John, you're not a comedian. You're not in comedy. Stop it. You're not crazy.

Although this is very funny. It is very good. So, John's bitching about Vince the lawyer to Clay. And Clay is a reasonable adult. So Clay, he recognizes the fact that we all recognized at the time. There are solutions to us. And Clay is going to offer those up. John, why don't you, why don't you just try not texting Vince, but having him on your show?

You could do that. We don't text. Yeah, I know. I really got to stop texting him because... Yeah, you should just communicate him on YouTube live. Mm-hmm. Wow. Amazing.

Clay with the solution. Stop texting with Vince. Just set up when you guys are on the show, and then you can hash it all out in the show. People are interested in the conversation between John and VTL. Sure. They can just do that. And so John, of course, never hears good advice.

he cannot process it and so as Clay is explaining this to him John does the yeah yeah yeah yeah kind of I know I know I know but you should just do that just don't text him

and just have him on your show texting him if he wants to come on or that's it and if he texts you some bullshit trying to fish you in just ignore him no I know isn't it bizarre it's like that ethics the ethics lawyer said he's like

Sean, I don't understand. How does this guy, I mean, he goes three shows a week. I mean, but he's a lawyer. Yeah, and he's like, why? I mean, how does he have time for this? I go, I go, because he wants to be famous. And then

the ethics, I was like, you ever see the movie, the King of Comedy? I go, yeah, he's Rupert Pumpkin. I know, I've never seen it. Holy shit. So, Kway's like, look at this, it's this easy. You just block them, just ignore his text messages, have him on the show. John goes, yeah, yeah, I could do that.

So anyway, did I ever tell you that other people think he's a lunatic too? Yes, you've told that story a million times. And stop and listen and think and process for a second. Clay has given John so much good advice over the years. And John's followed none of that. I don't know why Clay even bothers anymore. I've been friends like this. I just stopped talking to when I'm wasting my time.

So let's move on. If he's not listening to Clay, Carl, he's not going to listen to you. say to listen to Clay. Right. Yeah, I know. I can't fix this, Clay. I'm sorry, man. I'd love to try, but I can't. This is great. This is off of Dabler's Anonymous. But the same show, Clay wants to know, because he likes John, he's buddies with him. He wants to make sure. I know.

He wants to make sure that John has something to do on Christmas Day. You know, let's hope he's going to be surrounded by friends and family. And listen to John's answer to this. And by the way, this isn't the first time Clay asked him this. Clay has tried asking him multiple times. So what else has been going on? Yeah, you didn't answer. Do you know what you didn't have for Christmas?

You can't spend Christmas alone, bruh. Oh, wait, are you, are you, oh, yeah, so do we figure out why you couldn't call me on Twitter? Yeah, just the option's not there. Unless I went, unless something, do you remember what we, I couldn't do it before and I had to fuck the settings up. Yeah, but unless the settings have changed. I have to check it later. So John has to change the subject immediately on that. What do you do for Christmas?

Hopefully, you know, you got some plans, right? Now, there's two things possible here. One is that John spends Christmas like he did Thanksgiving alone in his house drunk. The other option is John is going to his mom's house, but is so afraid of this revenge porn warrant. He doesn't want anyone to know he's going to be in New York, as if any of the police force is watching John Jones. Right. he's going to be. Sergeant.

I got to lead. I'm going to be the 24th of December. So stupid. I don't know. I don't think there is, I don't think there are two possibilities, Carl,

because I think that if he was going up there, he would say that he was spending it alone to throw the cops off his scent. Oh, yeah. There's one possibility. He is drunk alone for Christmas. Yeah, Fudgeicle says three times Clay tried to find out what he's doing for Christmas.

John deflected every time. If he was seeing his kids, he'd be bragging about it nonstop, yeah. Definitely. You'd think that the kids, especially because he's got two kids, he mentioned this recently, so I'm not, oh, it's Carl's obsessed. No, John said this other show. He's got two kids in the Boston area going to college.

So you would think to be pretty easy for them, maybe not Christmas Day, maybe Christmas Eve or a couple days before that. They could swing by New York, spent some time with grandma and dad could be there. And then they get out to California and be with mom and their real dad, Aaron. but uh and have fun you're right and enjoy themselves but yeah sometimes you just have to you have to suffer through that christmas with one side of the family you just kind of you get through it to get to the good one we all do it we all do it and we all paste a smile on our face

and i think that's where we want to be because uh what else you're going to do all right we have some internet news coming up we got some voicemails but first doug i want to thank you so we're coming on the show today and sitting through Stephen Baldwin. People should check you out at Good Times, Great Movies. Yeah, Good Times, Great Movies. Where we get podcasts, we're on YouTube. I think we just cracked. We're hovering around like 2,000 subscribers so if people could get in there,

that would be amazing. We just did Crocodile Dundee, which is a bonkers movie that is way too long and not very funny. That's another movie that I've seen, but I couldn't tell you a single scene. It's over the knife thing. I couldn't tell anything about that movie. I totally forgot it was like 80% in New York. Like it starts in Australia and I'm like, this movie kind of looks gorgeous. I'm not very interested in it.

And then immediately we're in New York and it's a fish out of water story and it's not great. Yeah. But they made like three or four sequels. So it must have done pretty well. It's a huge hit, which is crazy. Go hit subscribe on Good Times Great Movies YouTube channel. Help pump up the numbers over there for our buddy Doug. Doug, you always kill it on the show.

We appreciate it. We'll be back right after this. Internet News with Lucy Tightbox. From Facebook, Tyler Barton acknowledges Jim Ward's passing, RIP to at worst, the second worst part of the Stephanie Miller show. Travis Wilson writes, once again, stuttering John inexplicably outlive someone. From Patreon, Chris Atrill notes, John's lack of shame or capacity for embarrassment is confounding. Backdoor Benji is appalled. Breast reduction?

That's brutal. Our beta patched opines, worst part about getting pizza sent to you is now you have to eat Papa John's. The negative creep offers, P.C. and Frenchie need to start a pod together. Two dudes, one pair of shoulders. J.P. throws his hat in the ring with an S.J. Law slogan. Just sue it. Kilgore Trout points out, no amount of community striking will hide how much Megan Markle sucks. But Kung Fuzz warns, don't cross the Duchess.

From Dabbler's anonymous, Rubb Future reports, John Filterboy Melendez says he doesn't care if his Midwest shows are poorly attended. Is that any surprise? The man has zero pride or work ethic. He should be professionally embarrassed to be playing half-empty rooms in B and C markets, but he's not. Explains a lot about him. Tronsavius Jackson shares, Filter or not, his eyes trigger my fight or flight instinct. R. Sharman reminds us.

Every booker wants to hear how the performer doesn't care about selling tickets. Elwood schools us. He cares. That's the cope. He honestly convinces himself that you believe he doesn't care. Maestro 72 is confused. B or C markets? That town in Ohio is only known for high school football.

Fix It 403 observes. He looks like he's wearing kabuki makeup. Neelax 44 asks, is Rake transitioning? He looks more and more like an old lady every day. Hot Buy offers. He looks like a melting can. Handel. Danny Thomas Glass solves it. Avah must be doing his makeup. And from YouTube, Megaprincess argues, he's not a functional alcoholic. A functional alcoholic maintains work,

home, and relationships. Esty lost all of those. We saw his house was trash, and his own kids won't talk to him. Rich Durand is suspicious. Amazing how John claims to have had sex with over 300 women, and not one of them has come forward to brag about it. Cult film freak reviews. is nauseated. You people and your Artie love, get over it. If John lost his nose to drugs, you'd never stop laughing. Evans Gate responds, what an odd thing to take issue with. Artie was a funny, kind, generous guy.

John is the exact opposite. And Shine 101 plays us out with, John dating a C-Captain is the funniest possible scenario. Very well done. Lucy Typebox and producer Chris. Thank you for the net news. That's how I get all my internet news. Yard John, that's 69. All right.

People call into the show. You can find our phone number at Who Are These.com. And, of course, this is the Gary in San Diego rock and roll a voicemail segment. It's a bunch of crap. Swing in a mid. Rock and roller. Ed, the editor messaged me and asked if I have enough of... Gary's voicemails to add that to Supertip to get an AI voice of it.

And I was watching someone showing they had Gary in San Diego as a Super Tip voice. Didn't sound anything like him. He was on there, though. I was like, what the fuck is that? Maybe I dreamt it. What was I watching? What was I watching where I saw that? This is Gary in San Diego.

Yeah, right. Might as well be. All right. Let's see what's going on. Hey, this is the guy that thought the shit wearer was. shit wearer um yeah i'm confused did you say hit hit hit man dan is getting the hip surgery is his name hip man dan or hip man dan i'm confused again i need clarification god damn i can't is he hit i think he's man all right now i'm fucking confused um i'm gonna go do some drugs see i do like that idea hip man dan

Mm-hmm. Because he had the cane. It's fun. All right. Larry and San Francisco, Calligan. He's still around. Hey, Carl. It's Larry from San Francisco.

Long time, no talk. Hurtur. I'm a fucking idiot. Rock and roll. All right. You can't steal his catchphrase. No. You can steal his essence, but not his catchphrase.

We don't allow that. Dude, the thing with fucking Opie's eyes, I grew up with a dude that whenever he would drink, he'd wake up in the morning. and it looks like he got stung by a fucking hornet's nest in his face. And I'm pretty sure that's what's going out with Opie. You know, he says, it's the Christmas trees. We all know, dude, his fucking face has been swollen shut for how many years now?

You know, sometimes worse than others. He's a fucking drunk. He's a whino. Like, I know you guys had a hit on that in the past, but that theory kind of went to the wayside. He's a fucking whino. He's a big-time wino. his face is fucking swollen shut because he's a fucking dumb drunk

Curious what you think Later Vinny's fat Vinny's fat Perfect way to call And great points too I might add Yeah

What is Carl Best at Sucking on my PT Don't even fancy myself all that good with my technique But thank you sir Nice I like that Appreciate it Hey, Heidi, hey, Carl, it's Jeremy.

I was listening to your episode where John was pontificating on how much money he would be making on the Stern Show had he stayed there. And I think he got to $225,000, started out at $85,000 and eventually assumed that when he went over to Syria, he'd be making about $2.25. But that led me to thinking, what do you think that Richard and Sal make, or some of the other back office guys, are they even over six figures? And if so, what does that look like for their future job prospects? Just something to think about it. I'd like to hear your thoughts on it. All right. Have the day you deserve.

God, I'd love to know the answer to that. Yeah. I would hope Richard and Sal both make six figures. Oh, my God. They have to. Right. They absolutely have to. They're not even allowed to do work outside of the show because they could easily tour

and do comedy shows and stuff and they could shut down. Yeah. And at this point, if you weren't making that type of money, you would have left five, six years ago, right? I would think so, yes. I would hope so. Especially if you're Richard. Richard, you get a job doing a lot of different things.

Including playing drums in my band. Open invite. Remember that guy who failed at the voicemail last week? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And he's just like, I decided for the spotlight. He called back out. Oh, good. Yeah, I was one of the third of that fucked up twice.

Yep. Last week, trying to call me out. That's what you get for trying to miss with the Duke of the voicemail segment. You dumb fuck. All right. Great flawless. Oh, this is, you know, we have this contest going about taglines for John's law firm. Oh, this episode of WATT brought to you by Miranda's Raw.

Miranda's Raw. We sue you wrong time. Right, right. I guess he's teeing up with Judy for that one. Oh, boy. It's a good of you said that I had no idea what was going on. It was like, why take that approach? This is, we do a living in the past series on our Patreon.

If you want to check that out, all the old episodes of John's show before the devilvers. Dude, then listening to the show since like longer than you deserve to be listened to. But I just realized on the way home, living in the past, Chethro Tull. Yeah. It's a fucking genius. I know that was Chris. Way to go, boys. It's nothing to do with the Jeff Roetal song.

But if Chris wants to take credit, I'll want him. Do that. All right. Chris and I have to get prepared for an isotope show tonight. We're playing over at Three Heads Brewing. If you're watching this live and you're in the Western New York area, come on by doing our annual Christmas show. It should be fun.

We have a lot of gifts. to give out. We have Santa Claus. Girls, I guess, will be there. Santa Claus Girls? Okay. Santa Claus. It gets a little blue. Things get a little wild at the Isov show.

So we got to get out of here. Check that out. Doug, thanks again, man, for coming over or coming over. For being on the show. Well, man, if I could only come over. I know. No, thank you so much. I always enjoy it. Great job. Thank you, buddy. I got to go. Bye.
