Who Are These Podcasts? - Ep690 - Bill & Nia Burr, Opie & Ron, StutJo & Roommate, Howard Returns
Episode Date: January 8, 2026We start off with Howard’s exciting return to SXM with his new contract, ready to kick off another three years of the Howard Stern Show! Well that excitement ends quickly. Why would anyone be excite...d for this? Howard isn’t into it, the staff isn’t into it, there’s no reason for listeners to be into it. Cardiff calls in to Jim Norton’s show and clowns Chad Zumock to his friend Godfrey. Robert Kelly pulled an Opie. Bill Burr brings up the Riyadh Comedy Festival and it noticeably throws him off. Bill did a show with his wife, Nia, and it’s hard to tell who is worse as they bicker about their terrible relationship. Stuttering John made a new friend and he thinks that makes him a great person who deserves praise. Once again, Opie decides to go after Jim Norton out of nowhere but Ron calls him out. Megan and Annie join us for a round of “Is It Gay?” and the Opie or Burr game. We finish up with reviews, comments, and your voicemails.

Yes.

It's very simple, folks.
I have been carrying this dabbled verse on my back for way too long.
Are you a boner guy?
Oh, I was a boner guy.
You know what?
I missed penis.
What are you talking about?
the one who should apologize.
Is it going to be
absolutely riveting? Is it going
to change your life by any stretch?
Probably not, but it's going to be at least
entertaining, okay? By the way, for those
people that are in the back,
remember to shut the fuck up.
Shut the fuck up,

He had a plan.

of not losing his temper and we go back in time to study how he used to argue with his wife of course
he doesn't anymore but he used to sendering john has made a new friend and he's not only bragging about it
he's declaring himself a saint opey is excited about the millions of dollars he could make
out of potential Opie and Anthony reunion.
Megan's going to bring another round of Is It Gay?
We have the fifth installment of the Burr or Opie game.
We've reviews and voicemails.
But first, Howard Stern has started this new deal at Series XM.
And this is going to be a wild three years.
Buckle up, everybody.
Howard Stern comes on the show Monday morning, January 5th, with his fresh contract.
And this is how the show starts off.
Who's stupid idea was to sign another contract?
Oh my God.
Music hasn't even stopped playing yet.
He's already complaining about having to get up and do a show.
And when I say get up, we do know he pre-recorded these in the afternoon the day before.
So a leisurely Sunday afternoon.
It doesn't go anywhere.
Yeah.
But yeah, this is his game plan was to bitch about the fact that he still.
doing a show after he just signed his big three-year renewal.
God, I woke up this morning and go, what the fuck?
I had the opportunity to leave and I didn't take it.
And I told you never, you never anticipate that feeling.
Well, we are, we are cutting back our schedule.
I'm happy about that because let's face it, I deserve some time to smell the roses.
I evidently not all the time.
But yeah, I woke up.
I was like, oh, fuck.
I was really enjoying vacation.
Every day could be vacation.
I'm entitled.
I'm past retirement age.
I can't imagine being this grumpy about doing a show because how does the audience feel?
You're like, maybe I should stop listening to this guy.
He hates this.
It doesn't make me want to get up and listen to Howard in the morning.
Like, everyone who's going in commuting to work or getting ready for work in the morning
has a shittier job than Howard.
And this is the highlight of their commute or whatever.
Right, but they're also like, oh, I got to go to this job I fucking hate.
Yeah, right.
Or, you know, mildly dislike or whatever the situation is.
They're not making millions of dollars talking to a microphone to a guy who,
to a woman who tans too much in Florida.
The typical morning show host used to have energy to get you going in the morning.
So it used to be refreshing when Howard, at the top of his game, would complain when the show would start.
It was different to show that he was a rebel.
Now it's just a pent-up William Hurst complaining about having to do anything.
Yeah, and you got to think
Like this is how he's kicking this whole new
Three-year contract off
Right
It's like you want to think that there's excitement building
Like I need to be tuned in these next three years
The last years of Howard Stern's run
This epic broadcaster
Known as the greatest of all time
You'd think he'd be on there like
We got ideas, this is exciting
I would do that personally
I would bullshit the audience and say like yes
Cool stuff's gonna happen
You know it's so interesting
At this time right now in history
John and Howard
need each other the most
and could actually save each other's lives
if they would embrace each other
but it would never happen Howard embraced the dabblevers
and started talking about this stuff
people would get as addicted to it as we are
yeah like you talked about
the first time you came out and started talking about this stuff
you acquitted to Eric the actor
Eric the actor is
oftentimes referred to as the greatest whack packer
of all time I think so
Howard needs a person like that again
you know Bobo calling in isn't doing it
Mary Ann from Brooklyn is not doing it
Nope.
She's doing great.
Sturray John, yeah, she's in a movie.
Suttery Jod could be pulling this off.
What are we going to say, Chris?
Yeah.
Oh, well, he's, Stern is always hating on podcasters.
Oh, yeah.
But I think he's checking in on him and he's like, maybe bitching about things is where it's at.
Yeah?
You think he's learning something from that?
It's possible.
Well, the thing I hate about the Stern show is how scripted it is.
And Howard comes on and he's already bitching.
Oh, my gosh, Rob.
I can't believe we signed another.
three-year deal. What was I thinking? What are we doing?
And you'd think, like, oh, he's just sitting down and that's just off the cuff or whatever,
off his dome. No, no, no, no. There were meetings. There's production to go along with us.
Howard's back and he already regrets it.
Hey now. Oh, oh, how is back?
Not much time left and he's wasting it on Bobo.
Hey now.
Yeah.
Oh, how it's back.
Oh, I think I hear him sighing.
Oh.
Oh, I think I hear him whining
How he's back
And he already regressed it
Hey now
Oh, oh, oh, how is back?
Ugh.
It kind of ruins the whole vibe
When he's like, oh, Rob and I'm so disappointed
And here's a jingle that we came up with
To show you how it's a point I am
That I have to work today.
It's like that was recorded last week.
Did you wake up and tell him, hey, I'm in a bad mood
You did write a jingle for me?
I can't tell which is worse if he's
It's just really in a bad mood or if he planned on it in advance.
That's what I mean.
That's what's lame about it.
It's like, this is going to be my schick, guys.
Cool.
And you hear the rhythm was off.
I'm part of it.
Like the drums weren't lined up right.
All those people, all that money, they couldn't get that right.
His staff sucks.
And I'm sorry.
There's a lot of guys out there that I'd love to grab a beer with.
I've listened to them for many years.
But they are not performing the way they used to.
That's for sure.
And it's, you know, top down.
Hours out into it.
Why the fuck?
would anyone else be into it? Morel is low. Yeah, morale is certainly low, especially after they
were like not sure if they're going to have a job or not in the new year. Yeah. So the last
few weeks have been pretty stressful. Fuck you. Howard, the rhythm's going to be a little
up. Yeah, right. I'm going to phone this one in. Well, you brought up the fact that Howard's
probably listening to podcasters. He is. He says something that is so stupid. And then, like,
I know you got some guys out there. They're like, guys I know who are now podcast and they go, I don't
know why you wouldn't resign it's so much fun i'm like because you don't have any pressure
whether anyone listens to your dopey podcast or not is irrelevant i'm going to pause it right right
there what a fucking moron way to not understand our podcast work at all so howard says whether
not people listen to your podcast is irrelevant it's all the matters with podcasts if no one listens
to it you make no money you do nothing you're even though i have fun with it might be a hobby for you
but it's not your job
it's not helping you in any way
I've got the weight of the world on my shoulders
you dick
we actually have to generate money
fucker
it's fun
yeah it's fun if you don't care if anyone listens
your show sucks
and nobody cares
you do a bad show
what do they care
anyway I'm full of regret
but that wouldn't be
I wouldn't be me if I didn't have regret
well that's true
what a perfect projection that was
Yeah. Howard's literally on a platform where you buy a new car and it's in your car automatically for three or six months.
People are not signing up for Howard anymore. If they are signing up for it, it's tons of other program that's available on Sirius XM.
And Howard is the ball is to be like, I'm the one who has to get listenership.
They don't even know what the listenership is. They can't even measure it. They have no idea.
Podcasts, it's all about measurement. That's all we have is data and stats.
And that's what we get paid on and used to sell advertising.
and we need an audience there who are going to support us on Patreon or with Super Tip.
It's everything what he just said is the exact opposite.
And I don't know if Howard doesn't understand the business at all, which is very possible
because he's put his head in the sand ever since podcasts started becoming more popular.
Or if he's just projecting the sound to be like, guys, this is really what's up.
Like radio is still where you got to perform and pull this off.
Well, it's interesting.
I'm wondering what he's gauging, what metric he's using to gauge success because it's not.
not fans and listenership. It's not response on comments. So when he talks about the pressure he
feels, it might not be to have a wide audience that's successful. It might just be to keep his
brand name alive, those stock and shareholders happy. And as long as he's doing that,
it's irrelevant whether he's having fun or the audience. Yeah, you're right. The Howard Stern
name, the Howard Stern brand is much more important than the actual show, the contact. Oh, yeah. I think
they did not want serious did not want to have to announce that Howard was leaving i think they
feel like that would begin this death call and it would all just unravel so he kept them in check
and he's judging his success by did he get the big deal well he got a big deal so he's won and
everything after this is like oh wait now i got to do the show fuck you know it's funny you say that
because we're going to hear a little while opi talk about the exact same thing like once you
get the big contract there's no reason to work hard anymore which is the weirdest way to think
Imagine if pro athletes, I know it has happened, but imagine if pro athletes were to think, like, I'll just sign a big deal, and then stop working out, start playing video games all night, Lamar Jackson, and stop giving a shit about stuff.
So that was a Monday show.
He comes back.
Tuesday he comes on, and the big question is, you keep talking about this later schedule.
What does that mean?
What is the new schedule, Howard?
Well, like I said when we signed the contract, I'm using the Royal We, of course, which I always use.
Many people have been writing me saying, what is the new schedule?
And I said, well, I told you it's flexible.
I'm trying to figure out what it's going to be.
But more or less, it's for now anyway, we're doing two shows a week.
so we'll be here twice a week
a Monday Tuesday
that's that and then
two feels good
and then that can change
is that unbelievable
Monday and Tuesday
that's pretty crazy
so
and it's a drag
I know can you believe it's two
I might not be able to handle it
because yeah listen to what he says after that
we'll see how long we can maintain that
and then
if I don't drop dead
we'll see how
goes and then we'll figure out what we want to do from there but yes we'll be back next week
on monday and tuesday and that's the schedule what's even the point just do once a week then yeah
so the the whole thing is like this show is twice a week we do wednesdays and saturday those are the
days that we record we drop the podcast Thursdays and sundays because it gives some time in between
for new things to happen for new things to talk about for us to prepare for another show all those
types of things. If we did back-to-back shows, that'd be ridiculous because we would miss
John getting a new house guest. You know, it'd be like too old by that to discuss. And we'd be
jaded because we see each other every fucking day. Yeah. What a weird work week that is. I was
talking about this with Drew Lane yesterday. And Mark's like, oh, everybody wants a five-day weekend.
That's like the reverse of how society works. I mean, touring musicians that are here.
age that they have to look out for will play like take two nights off a week yeah maybe one they're
not doing two shows and then taking the week off that's crazy it is crazy because it stops all momentum
too if you do a topical morning show which i know howard doesn't do anymore but he did for many
decades and you have these recurring plot lines that are happening these storylines and there's
characters that call in or there's different things that are happening you kind of need to be on air every
day to keep that going and if you just like talk about something that's happening and then
we're off until monday okay unless as al dirtbag just suggested he is recording them on the
same day one work day and then the rest of the week is off that makes sense because this shit
hasn't been topical for a long time yeah that actually makes perfect sense why even do two days
yeah just recorded all in one i know and speaking of podcasters there's a lot of podcasts that do
that like smart lists and a lot of these shows just bank two bears one cave like you hear about
these guys just bank a whole bunch of episodes and then they just put them out as they come out which
is why they're not topical at all and it's just mundane phoned in bullshit speaking of phoned in
do you guys remember we were covering at the end of the year the Howard noyn howard was talking about
the nine things or the nine people that were talked about the most on the show they're going
back to the archives and figuring out what was the biggest topics apparently he didn't get
through all nine yet.
And that was back when he's out three days a week.
And he couldn't get through all nine.
So he's got one more to do.
And boy, does he fucking drop the ball on this.
I have to finish the Howard Noyn.
As you know, we celebrate nine people in the year 2025.
We got to eight of them, which is a record.
Usually only gets like three.
Yeah, I actually thought we had completed this year, but I was wrong.
I left out Tan Mama.
Oh, well, I just revealed who it is.
Tamma. Maybe I should do that now.
Since I just fucked it up.
Since you just blew it.
Since I just blew it.
Yeah.
Let me go to my Howard Noin.
Let me do a buildup.
Act like you didn't hear that.
Okay.
You don't.
Robin, I'm now going to tell you we had lady boys,
Beth, O's Perlman, Jeff the Vomit Guy, Ronnie and Mike got inducted together.
Howard's guitar.
Okay.
And then he starts talking about playing guitar for the guys before the show started and all this
kind of stuff so it just kind of trails off but then he goes on to this whole production number
about the noin and introducing that his tan mom is in there it's like how did he fuck that up
first thing in the show he just drops the ball my god we even talked about tan mom yeah oh now it's
the reveal whoops i don't believe in nothing no more i know what's he doing it's so bad team of
writers up hanging on his every word just hoping he can land this plane it's so sad all right well
people have wondered how is being a grandfather going to change the Howard Stern shows
change Howard will it be for the worse well Howard start focusing on little kid shit like
miss Rachel do you know Miss Rachel is Adam I have an idea kids host yeah she's very popular
has huge views online and goes on TV a lot and stuff well apparently Howard's grandson
is really into this Miss Rachel.
And so Howard's now bringing that to his show for some reason.
Just real quick in the family.
Did I mean anything?
Oh, here's a clip of Miss Rachel.
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Because you don't know Ms. Rachel.
You don't have young kids around you.
I've got my grandson.
No, I've seen her on Good Morning America.
I told you that.
Yeah.
Here she is doing her thing, just for those of you who don't know.
Becaboo.
What was that?
It's another business I should have been in.
I'm working way too hard.
Entertaining children.
Like, I have to come up with really funny stuff.
Like, if you listen to the last.
three hours, you know, it is an easy work to entertain you, folks.
How would he know?
The ball is on this guy to talk about entertaining the people watching his show.
He's the worst at it.
He's entertaining at all.
We have demands like not knowing the answer to the game show question before you give it.
It's incredible that he's like now jealous of Miss Rachel because Miss Rachel gets to phone it in
and entertain toddlers.
But when I read that Miss Rachel's worth 50 million.
doing this shit. I'm like
fuck.
Hey, we're here? Hey, kids.
What's happening? This video
has 151 million views. I don't
think I put out anything with 151 million
views. Becaboo. Why would you?
What was that?
What's that
sound? Hey kids,
what's the sound? Mooh.
Mooh, moo. What is
that shit? It's a cow.
See, the first time
you hear that, you're
bowled over because it's the first time you've heard anything my grandson thinks this is the
great a dog makes that sound this is what howard's show is now and robin's trying to like get in
there and act like this is uh is interesting it's like yeah Howard I get it you're you're riding
around with your kid your grand kid in the car yeah don't bring that to the show
unless you're going to have something very funny for that would you could you couldn't make that
adult, make it funny.
Instead, Howard starts singing the wheels on the bus.
He's like, this is how I was trying to entertain my grandkid.
He's singing the wheels on the bus to rob him.
Uh-huh.
Well, I can think of as a go-go dancer we used to have that this would be.
Oh, yeah.
She was quite childish.
So that's what's going out with Howard Stern.
I don't know if we could even keep an eye on him.
I was going to say we'll keep an eye on him, but I don't even know what the point is.
Thanks to my buddy, MLP, who gave me a...
a heads up on the two days a week.
So I was texting with him.
I'm like, what's the update on Howard?
Do we know what the schedule is?
He's like, oh, he announced it this morning.
Two days and week.
So two days, which means twice a week.
Twice a week.
Very impressive.
Speaking of things that are impressive.
A lot of people picked up on this,
including my buddy, MLP,
who was checking out the podcast,
Jim Norton Can't Save You.
And he had Godfrey on.
Godfrey is a comedian who,
famously is buddies with Chad Zumach. Chad calls them up on the show sometimes, gets them on
his show sometimes is always talking about how they're good pals. And even though sometimes
Godfrey plays shows right near Chad and has other features on his show instead of Chad,
but they're really good friends. They're really tight. It was a union house. They had their own
openers. There's nothing you can do. Yeah, yeah. What are you going to do? Well, this was fun because
Godfrey's the guest and I think you might recognize who's calling into the show. Hello?
I'm hoping you can help a couple friends of mine who are stand-up comedians in Florida.
They have trouble dealing with criticism and online trolling.
They always seem to overreact to it.
What advice could you give my friends, John and Chad?
Stop doing comedy.
So Cardiff says, what advice can you get to my friends, John and Chad?
So obviously, John Mellon is a Chad Zubach, and they're asking Godfrey.
They can't handle criticism that my trolls are getting to them.
Fucking Cardiff then.
This guy's everywhere.
This potato is everywhere.
I don't know how these guys don't pick up on that.
Listen to their reaction.
Stop doing comedy.
If you can't take the criticism.
Stop doing it.
Just stay out of it.
That fucking soft, sensitive-ass shit, you got to, the people troll.
And a lot of these trolls online are bots, by the way.
Some of them are, yeah.
Some of them are just.
I hate that.
All of Bill Burz are.
I mean, it's not his fucking.
100% of Bill Burr's trolls are bots.
We know that.
But I think Chads are real.
I can be right.
And creative.
It's just comedy, man.
Dude,
he's literally talking to a troll right now and calling him a bot.
It's like,
I'm a potato,
not a bot.
Oh my gosh.
And,
you know,
we did it when there wasn't like social media.
We just,
we got our criticism right there in front of you.
Or if it was in a newspaper or some shit,
but you got a,
yeah,
ignore that shit.
Yeah,
don't be in a.
comedy because it's coming. It's going to come. You can't avoid it. I don't. I don't. It's like
in person I have to deal with it or heckler I have to deal with it. Right. But you ever see Glenn Gary
Glenn Ross? Yeah. When Alec Baldwin, I'll look at trolling online like this. When he's yelling at them,
he goes, you can't handle this. You fuck, this is nothing compared to what you get on a sit.
If you can't handle online trolling, like that's nothing that being like being yelled at in person.
It's like saying, hey, what do I do about my friends when people don't like them as comedian?
right yeah who cares there's jim's funny i'm funny but see these guys are taking this question
way too seriously someone calls in and goes hey i got a couple buddies that names are jad and jad they're
fucking losers do you have any advice for them yeah stop being losers yeah pile on it's like
you guys are really not picking up on this is obviously a troll there's my funny some people don't
like i don't give a fuck yeah i don't it does if you can't it's impossible
to be liked by everyone that's see if you're just
looking for that you're or be liked by anyone if you're
Chad Tumach. It almost sounds like trolls
have bothered them. Yeah,
it sounds like it's got to Godfrey a little bit too.
Out of your fucking mind. It's not going to
and if there's just, if they just
started, I understand you want to be
like right because we all, when we first started,
I'm not going to sit in a lie, but
after a while, it's impossible
to be liked by everyone.
Just as long as you have the majority, 51%
is how you win the presidency, man.
That's right. Hmm.
It's actually electoral college. Godfrey.
That's how you're with the presidency, but okay.
They don't have to be liked by everybody.
And fuck that.
Yeah, so take, just don't look at it or just don't take it seriously.
Who cares?
Yeah, and if you do, just don't, you can't be in the business.
Stay out of it.
Just do something else.
Yeah.
All right?
Yeah, they've been doing stand-up for about 25 years.
Oh, that's probably a little bit.
But some guys, thank you for the calls.
Some guys get into it where that becomes their thing with their own.
I love that.
I texted Cardiff.
I was like, dude, you're awesome.
I asked him, you must have had other things you wanted to say because they kicked them off right there.
He's like, no, that was it.
All right, good.
Good for you.
Well, well played.
Jim Baldwin, sir.
Yes.
Thank you, sir.
So that was very funny.
They're just like, yeah, I mean, you're thin skin when you first started off.
You don't really get it.
I understand.
Who cares people think you're funny or not?
Has Chad heard this?
Has he responded?
This happened this afternoon.
This dropped just today.
Oh, I can't wait.
Yeah, but it's all over the place.
I already saw it in Dablers Anonymous and one of the clippers already picked us.
on it so great yeah we'll get back to him for sure he's gonna be pissed because you know he's had this
conversation with godfrey before and godfrey did not say those things to him well also chad's gonna play
the victim on this one where oh you gotta know you're harassing godfrey he's just trying to do a show with
jim it's like a big deal for him you got to call in and ruin the shell you know it'll be a whole thing
but anyway yeah they seem real bothered by that call this you know i think it'll be fine oh you know what we
have is a fringe of the week cringe of the week cringe of the way
A cringe of the week

Come across my Facebook page
From yesterday from Robert Kelly
and I laughed and cringed when starting to read it.
I will say I do believe this situation unlike Opie.
It's just kind of ironic how much it reminded me of Opie
in ways I know Robert Kelly jokes,
but also claims he's an influencer these days
and must post everything.
I think it's great.
He helps someone, but it's still one of those things
that truly needs to be someone else writing about the event,
not the person involved,
because it simply comes off wrong like this.
So this is the post from Robert Kelly.
he says on Thursday my family and I rented the car and drove to a local beach north of where we're staying
Max and I were in the water having a blast we heard a little girl yelling help my sister
I looked over and saw her sister struggling to stay afloat being pulled away from the beach by a strong current
this beach had a steep drop off it went deep fast and the water was no joke I swam out to her
when I got close I can see the terror in her eyes she was panicking and honestly I was scared too
all she wanted to do was grab on to me, but I stopped about three feet away so she couldn't.
If she grabbed me, we'd both go under.
That's the only thing that stuck with me for my lifeguard training.
I was a lifeguard when I was 19 at Jewish camp.
If you don't believe me, ask comedian John Fish, he knows.
I kept my voice calm and told her to reach out her arm.
I grabbed it and started swimming back slowly, talking to her the whole time, over and over, telling her how great she was doing.
To keep her focused and calm.
Her father and another man eventually came out to help.
but the water was too deep for them.
I could see the fear in her dad's eyes
when he realized he couldn't reach her.
At that point, I was getting exhausted myself
and knew I was close to needing help getting back in.
They came back out, got a better hold on her,
and pulled her away to safety.
When I finally made it back to the beach,
my wife was crying.
I was shaking.
We weren't even supposed to be at the beach that day.
The family was incredibly grateful.
Most importantly, the girl was okay.
Pretty wild day.
and he has with this story
the photo from the airport
this is the girl I saved yesterday at the beach
her father is and put his
Instagram handle on there
so that we can follow his
her father for some reason I'm not really
sure why I don't know what style whiskey
he was given for this rescue
I haven't gotten to the bottom of that yet
black velvet
probably Canadian club
I don't know good stuff
It wasn't Pappy Van Winkle?
Yeah, it wasn't, uh, I looked up, it was $1,200, uh, but Robert Kelly, uh, saving the day.
And now, I guess the most recent episode of the bonfire, there is a segment about him being a hero on there.
So if anyone checks that out and thinks it's worth looking into, I'd be curious to see how, uh, Robert
Kelly recounts this tale of his heroicism.
Who the fuck would write something like that on social media?
Just like the details of it
Like she was terrified
I was scared too
My wife was in tears
If you're like in the middle of a divorce
You're being accused of a crime
And you need a good deed on documented
By multiple sources
Something like that
I mean it's very Opie-esque
But it's also something
That stuttering John
Would certainly do
Oh yeah the details
Yes he would need everyone to know
What a hero he was
If I was a terrible swimer
But if I was swimming out to save someone
I wouldn't be studying their eyes
Yeah things would happen
him pretty quickly, I would imagine.
It was also, if you notice, he swam out like he was saving her, and then he was just kind
of holding her until someone could come and save her right at the end.
The other thing, too, with the riptide is that you always swim sideways.
That's the advice you're supposed to give.
Like, don't struggle against it.
It's going to take you out.
Get out of it.
Instead, he's going into the fucking riptide as well with her.
Anyway, whatever.
Good for Bob.
Very happy for Robert Kelly.
I didn't see those other people who swam in, saved her and brought her back, posting
about it. Only the guy with the assist.
It's good point.
So good on
Robert Kelly for another good deed
and Bill Burr's Monday morning
podcast. Of course, this is
Adam's beat these days
and he came on
the first show of 2026
on January 5th
and Bill is shot
out of a cannon.
Hawaii!
It is the first
podcast of
26
Let's hope it's going to be a good year.
Hi, everybody.
Let's hope.
Let's hope.
Well, Jesus Christ.
Rough to a good start.
Wow, that didn't last long.
Slightly better than Howard Stern.
At least he'd come on and just go, oh, I fucking hate this.
Why the hell do I have to do a podcast?
A nice 15-second buffer.
Yeah, I could hear that in his voice, but, uh, all right.
Let's, let's find out, uh, what's got bill down.
Let's hope they shut down the,
What if they just shut the internet off?
Oh, my God.
What if racist people couldn't just keep talking to each other on the fucking internet?
Wouldn't that be fantastic?
Look, Quadfather doesn't have legs, all right?
Where else are you going to talk to people?
He needs the internet.
Also, racist people have been talking to each other since before the internet.
They'll find a way.
Is that true?
It is true.
I've documented it.
No shit.
So, according to Bill, the internet's full of mini-bejidis.
And that's really the problem that he's experience in the world.
the world. Good to know. What I'm excited about, though, is that Bill is not angry. Remember,
he stopped being angry. He's cured himself. He's in recovery of anger. I'm still in a good mood.
I am fucking a month in three days. I have not lost my temper. I've gotten upset. I've been flustered,
but I've stayed out of anger. So wait, you just use synonyms now? Yeah. I'm not passive aggressive. I'm just
Hostel and adversarial.
He's a video game.
It hasn't gone into the red yet.
Yeah, right.
He hasn't lost any lives yet, so it's fine.
So what is he doing to stop himself from having these anger issues that he's been struggling
with for all these years?
Which has been amazing for me and kind of blocked out like Mondays for me.
Mondays is my mental health day.
I go to therapy.
I do my yoga.
you know, I've been like meditating.
Meditating is frustrating for me because I used to be able to do it.
You know, if meditation is frustrating, it's not having the desired effects.
No.
Bill, why are you such a shitty boo?
Because I was just meditating.
I need to calm down now to write meditation.
Fuck.
Again, he's not angry anymore.
He's figuring it all out.
And he looked at.
He lumped it in with yoga.
It makes it sound like he doesn't make a distinction there.
Yeah.
It's all very performative, right?
Yeah.
I think we've been figuring this out about Bill.
He's doing a show for his wife to tell his wife, like he's fixing himself.
He's doing all the things.
Remember you told me I should do yoga?
I'm doing yoga.
I think you said the word meditation 85 times.
I'm doing the meditation thing.
All the things to calm down and fix my anger problems.
Yes.
I'm trying to meditate again.
And that is fucking right there, everybody.
That right there is my fucking life.
Okay?
Even when I'm alone and I try to just sit in a chair and meditate,
somebody comes in and fucks with me and next thing you know,
I'm in some sort of altercation.
Wow.
All right.
We figure that out.
Okay.
First off, it starts with a laugh towel.
You know, immediately, you know, you can tell that meditation is not working because
he's just, he cracks himself up.
But what's he talking about the altercation that comes from meditation?
Who's walking in?
Is it the guy in his head that's pissed off?
Or a kid?
Oh, yeah, a family member.
It could be a family member if we want to be logical about it.
But I think there might be more to it than that.
I think that he can't escape his own thoughts.
Yeah.
Is that what he said?
Yeah, because like Chris just said, yoga is not meditation.
So if you're sitting there meditating thinking it's the same thing as yoga,
I mean, imagine explaining to your meditation teaching.
I don't know who does that, but like, I would be great at it if all of these fucking problems would leave me alone and I could focus on it, but I'm not doing anything.
They're just injecting themselves into me.
All right.
Can I just not be a dad for one fucking hour while I'm meditating?
Meditation is for that.
It's to avoid that stuff.
That means you're not doing it right at all.
Yeah, obviously.
Mm-hmm.
All right.
So Bill explains all the things that's helped him become a better person.
And as we know, ever since he got back from the Riyadh comedy festival, he's been struggling with his numbers.
He's been struggling with his reputation.
There's a lot of people who have been railing against him and criticizing him for being a hypocrite.
And the way that he responded to that was not great.
He's got more detractors now than he's ever had in his life.
And now he can't meditate.
We can't meditate, which is unfortunate.
Story of his life.
But, Adam, this next clip that you grabbed, it turns out he's going back on the road.
He's going to start touring again.
And you saw him recently.
It seems like he's got a solid act right now.
He does.
To go out on the road with.
And he can't help himself here.
He brings up the word.
The word he tries to avoid on his podcast, the one he doesn't like to say.
Looking forward to.
to doing my first road gig
since that comedy festival I did.
I don't know if you guys heard about that.
I did a comedy festival
that people had a lot of opinions on it.
Oh, wow.
It just keeps going.
Yeah.
That's extra.
Look at how much I don't care, guys.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha.
Wow.
I don't think he meant to bring
that up right there.
Yeah, it just kind of slipped out.
It slipped out and you didn't know what to do with it and it continues on.
Um,
Jesus Christ.
Someday.
Someday.
I think this is to let us know that this is all watered out of the bridge.
He gets it now.
We've all moved on.
See, I can joke about it.
We're all laughing about it now.
It's watered out in his face.
Sounds like he's crying again.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It fucked him up for a while.
I am going to do, when enough times gone by, when people clearly don't give a fuck,
I am going to do, on this podcast, a nice deep dive into the absolute absurdity of that whole fucking thing.
Anyway.
Oh, we should have clear his name, guys.
See, right now, we all think it's ridiculous for taking money from the Saudi Arabian government.
man, after all the things he says about billionaires
and rallying against all these kinds of people
and sellouts and stuff, but
eventually he's going to explain it to us
so we're all going to look foolish.
You would think it's so funny.
There's going to be ag on our face.
Yeah. But it's good that he's taking his time
with it, too.
When he first started talking about how he's written all these
roast jokes, he was going to let David Cross
know what's up and Mark Mary. He's going to
clown all those idiots.
He's like, but I can't, but I can't.
What is he waiting for?
he has all the answers for this and he's still not doing it what the fuck i don't understand i got a theory
that he wants to make movies and he wants to direct them and he wants them funded and that that's
something saudi arabia wants from america too yeah this is all to set up sound stages or some
kind of huge deal where he can write and direct and make movies on his own that they're going
to pay for and that more celebrities will be doing it eventually down the road but he's a
pioneer taking all the heat, doing it first. And I think once we learn that, if he tells us,
it won't be very funny. We won't be laughing. There's nothing funny about that. And I wouldn't
care to see the kind of movies that that person would make. Interesting. Well, let's hear him
finish up his thoughts here. Let's do. It's a lot of nervous laughter. I mean, here we are
all these months later. You know, I got to be honest with you, the outrage is still where it was. People are
still so concerned.
Anyway, all right.
Squarespace, everybody.
Okay.
Now, we just heard there with sarcasm.
So Bill's trying to explain to us, you know, the comments aren't as bad as they used to be,
so obviously it wasn't that bad of a thing.
Because people aren't still that upset about it as they were five months ago.
That's not how that works.
Of course they aren't.
But also, I looked at his comments, they're still pretty fucking negative.
There's just less viewers.
Yeah, there's a way fewer.
13,000 views on this podcast episode,
which is like the numbers that we get on our live shows.
It's crazy that that's what he's getting now, being Bill Burr.
And to act like, I told you guys, it's all going to blow over.
You didn't believe me.
It still hasn't.
A.
And B, yes, everyone moves on from everything eventually.
Not Hitler.
You know, that fucking guy.
He's got staying power.
It's got staying power.
the shit that he was up to
And the Jews will not let it drop
Like enough
We get it
Bad guy, sure
All right
So you just heard him going to a Squarespace ad
And I think he's flustered
I think he's off his game
At this point
After going through the Riyadh stuff
And like oh shit
He didn't want to bring that up
And now he's doing the nervous laughter
And how do I deal with this
So now he's got to get refocused
And do his podcast
That's Squarespace.
dot com slash your unique URL.
It's Ron Burgundy.
Fuck you, San Diego.
He just literally just reads whatever is on the piece of paper.
Well, maybe it was just an accident.
It won't happen again, right?
Yeah, right.
Head to Squarespace.com slash your unique URL.
Why isn't it there?
We'll say slash burr, B-U-R-R for a free trial.
There you go.
He figured it out eventually.
Seameless.
It was the ad copies fault, guys.
Why isn't it there?
What's up with this?
And copy, not being there.
That's hilarious.
I'm trying to get fired.
Thank you.
It really does seem that way.
And listen, the thing that we have to focus on is that Bill is cured of anger.
I think that that's noble.
Yeah.
To transform like that.
You know, he's an older guy.
It's harder for older guys to change.
I know.
You keep telling me.
I know.
But you really need to.
Anyway, not the point.
I will.
Tomorrow.
I'll do it tomorrow.
But, no, Bill has no more anger issues, which is great.
Brand, every time your drivers aren't detouring just to find the one station that takes your car.
Jesus Christ, how many fucking different ways?
Why do they make the copy so long?
No, guys, in his defense, he's just upset and flustered.
Not angry.
Remember that.
He's agitated.
He's agitated.
He's still on the streak.
He's still got a month and three days going out a month and four days.
And this is less than 20 minutes.
from that proclamation about not being angry
for a whole month and a half. This is minutes later.
It's impressive.
You get free gas for a whole day.
Terms apply.
That's costpay.com slash burr.
Jesus Christ, that was the tantric
read of fucking advertising.
Okay, who's next?
Oh, disclaimer.
Shit.
This is Casey Kasem-asked.
Yes.
Two.
Yeah.
So what he did there was he thought he was moving on to the next ad read, but he still
had more of this ad read to go.
Now, could all of us be fixed in post?
I think so.
Thanks, Crackard, Bob.
You're welcome.
You're welcome.
I'm probably going to get shit for that fucking tantric line.
I was trying to do that at the end of the fucking read, but I didn't realize I had that
disclaimer to read.
Well, we'll see what they say.
You know, is there any way we could get a reread?
Is any way you could read that?
again is there any way you could just say you're saying this so you can justify your
fucking cubicle or your desk is there any way you can just do that oh that's real anger
oh totally that wasn't just being upset or flustered go your justify your cubicle he's dealt
with these people and it's pissed about it because i've seen those emails yeah the bosses
want you just do to take that one again it's like oh why don't they tell me
You're telling me, you're fucking cubicle, bitch.
I get it.
And no one said anything.
He's just putting this in his head.
He said he can't meditate because everyone's always jumping into his world.
I think that's an example of that.
Yes, good call.
Because all we'd have to do is start over again and fix it in post.
This is not live.
It's never alive.
And he knows his producers are selling it to them by being like, this is the special sauce.
He gave it that.
Yeah, right.
This is what you're paying for.
Not he's out of his mind.
Well, I saw someone in the comment section.
this video because I was reading through some of the funnier comments and someone wrote
still pretending to be blue collar bill like when you have shit like that we were lashing out
at someone who you see is under you in your cubicle that's that's real anger and elitist talk
right there all right so let's get into advice time you know he reads emails and questions
gives out advice and someone needs help with their relationship so here's some good advice
for them.
Yeah, I would just
figure out why you're unhappy.
And then whatever that answer is,
you know, that will make up your mind,
whether you need to break up with this person
or try to work it out with them.
There you go, all right?
What does you think a piece of paper?
Draw it wide down the middle of right.
Pros over here.
And tons over here.
Thanks, Bell.
Yeah, like no shit, Sherlock.
I never would have figured that one out.
Thanks, money.
All right, so he's got that all figured out.
But then it turns out that
maybe Bill has some regrets
when it comes to relationships.
Don't go on the internet on those stupid
social media websites
where people sit there and,
you know, debate.
Like, you know, I never got married
because, you know, right now I'm in Spain
drinking a cold beer.
I couldn't do that if I was fucking married.
You know
It's like, well, you could
If he just asked
Does he want a cold beer?
He wants a cold beer in Spain
Very badly
Real bad
He's regretting everything
He's just talking to himself
At this point
And these regrets continue on
And he thought
I think he realized he talked himself
Into a corner there
Because he's like
You can be as free as you want to
As a man
All you got to do
Is ask for permission
Yeah
As long as your wife
Doesn't mind you
abandoning the young children
To go to Spain
and have a beer, you'll be fine.
But what if she says no, Bill?
Then you start a podcast, and here we are.
Yep, here we are.
If you were like a secure person, I guess you could do that.
Or maybe you...
If you were with a secure person, I guess you could do that.
Shots fired, Bill.
Whoops.
If you were with like a secure person, I guess you could do that.
Or maybe you couldn't.
Maybe you'd have too many fucking responsibilities.
Right.
And if your big dream in life is to be able to fucking travel whenever the fuck you want,
and not to have
be concerned with somebody else
that's a fucking great dream
go do that
what is the advice now
the advice is morphed to do
you know what don't get married
it sucks
yeah I think he's talking to
his wife directly right now
maybe you want to get in line
to fuck Scarlethampton
I don't know
you probably don't want to get married
if that's the case
uh more regrets
I've always wanted to talk to somebody
that just said you know what
I don't want to do any of that work
like at the end of their life
you know
what that's like
that you just sort of
you know
something was
I mean I but even then
you're still gonna fucking have ups and downs of your career
I don't think anybody gets out easy
we certainly don't
do you hear what Bill's saying right there
he's like a marriage is a fucking chore
yes it's a lot of work
and maybe you don't want to get
because you want to live your life and do whatever you want.
That sounds actually really good.
That sounds pretty cool.
That's his therapy.
It is.
We're listening to it.
Because he's even saying, like, maybe you want to just be able to travel and just do whatever
you want.
And he's like, yeah.
Maybe I do want to do that.
Sounds pretty good.
But I can't.
Remember, he had a career, he took a big career hit in the public.
And he didn't deal with it well.
So he embarked on his wife's demands of, you're too angry.
He was like, I'll fix that.
And that'll fix it.
everything he was talking about relationships he was talking about the work you do in relationships
and as he was pondering it and like parsing his words really carefully he let slip nah your career
will still have ups and downs whoa no one was talking about career dude we were talking about
relationships you let the mask slip and reminded us what this is really about this would not
fix the reaad thing whether you were angry or not because he was thinking to himself like man
life would be perfect if i didn't have the old ball and chain he's like no no no no
Life, wouldn't it be perfect?
You know, I've had some slip-ups and stuff.
That's like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
It'd be better, though, right?
Bill.
Too late, Bill.
I think it'd be better.
More regrets.
Normalize being alone, you know, not never getting married or having kids.
And they're saying that because married people won't shut the fuck up.
Now Bill is realizing that maybe people complain about being married so much that like they've kind of shown their hands.
They're like, yeah, I got two seven off suit over here.
like, oh, sorry to hear that.
I'm having a way more fun of my pocket aces over here.
It's like, oh, I'm sure they're having lots of fun with your pocket aces.
Go fucking fly to spade and have a beer.
Assall.
I like it when he gives advice.
He's a good person to do that.
He's got it all figured out.
Take a look at 20, if you can, and let me know who he's talking about here and why it isn't the Saudi government.
Okay.
Just saying, the business is shrieking.
Yeah, like five nerds are going to run Hollywood in a,
about fucking three months and all the money's going to go to them and we're going to be like
can we please get money for his sandwich um so you got to get out there man
us as performers now we're all just going to be shilling for the people that don't want to
pay us and we're going to have to all do commercials uh well hold on a second first off
bill is extremely wealthy okay secondly what kind of sandwich
Can it be a taco?
Secondly, Bill has been reading commercials on this podcast.
He's just like, yeah, at some point, we have to fucking read commercials.
Oh, and killing it, too.
That's what you do for a living.
That's a big part of his income is reading these commercials on his podcast.
He's actually like, he'd have to stoop to that when Hollywood gets taken over by the nerds.
Yeah.
Remember when he was telling Miss Pat didn't understand why she was saving hundreds of thousands of dollars from flying miles?
Yeah.
And he's like, yeah, I don't need any of that shit.
So then what's this fear he's talking about?
Good point.
Yeah.
And he keeps talking about how the industry shrinking down.
There's only a few people who will make all the money.
And I think that was the point you were making, Adam, about the Saudi government.
Yeah.
I don't think there's a lot of sense.
It's just like getting checks in the mail for all the gas that they're selling.
Here you go.
Yeah.
And that's what he did.
He did a commercial for Saudi Arabia.
And for Riyadh, that's what he already did and took the money.
It was on his scale, though, not ours.
I have this other example of Bill checking himself, not getting into things that are going to set him off and get him upset.
He's talking about people in Texas.
I like that Dallas embraces, like, bigger is better.
Like, that feels like the real Texas attitude to me.
When I think of Texas, that's what I think of.
I don't think of putting people to death in the prison systems and all of that shit.
I just think of, like, people wearing a hat that maybe doesn't need to be that big.
I keep it simple.
You know, as I get older, I just try to keep a lot of things just simple.
You know what I mean?
Just try to keep it simple.
What's funny about this, right?
What I found very ironic is that Bill obviously is immediately going in his head about why he hates Texas, the death penalty.
Now, the people who are on death row or put to death, did they do anything to make that happen,
where there's any cause and effect kind of thing going on?
Like, oh, they're just putting people to death?
Well, like the color of their skin probably, right?
they're just racist? Yeah, yeah. That's what's going on in Texas. And so he goes, I'm not going to
talk about that because I want to keep things simple. Actually, what he wanted to talk about,
what he alluded to, is simplifying how society works. That was the simple part. Bill actually
like he's not doing that anymore. I'm not going to be complex and talk about how I feel about the
death penalty is a very simple, narrow view of a topic. Also saying that Texans are the only ones that
wear interesting, oversized headdresses is a little narrow-minded.
Anyway, I just thought that was funny that Bill is like trying to do this new thing where he's not getting into it, man.
He's chill.
He's relaxed.
He doesn't want to talk about politics.
Everyone on the internet's racist.
And Texas puts people to death.
But we're not talking politics here.
Everything's cool.
We're having a good time.
Now, wait, why did that lead to a just-do-it kind of affectation there?
That's a good question.
If he's still pissed at that ad-read lady.
Okay.
Thank you.
That might be Adam.
Making some sense.
you got to bring up just do it around me do you
do you
doc some pay i think
now we were playing the game
opier burr that uh simon put together for us
and simon tipped us off that it wasn't that long ago
bill had his wife nia on the show
and um what was the date of this do you remember
i don't it was a couple of years ago
oh this is a couple years ago okay yeah
so we're going to find out so the two of them
are recounting the time
that Bill's wife surprised him with a pasta-making class for his birthday.
And they're talking about that.
And we're going to see this whole thing about Bill working on his anger issues.
It comes from a real place.
It actually kind of makes sense.
The way that you deal with stress is by, I don't know, becoming more stress or no, the way that you deal with stress is becoming angry.
So everything became like, it's your reaction.
to stress.
What do you do?
It's not everybody.
Oh, great.
Stress.
No, but I don't get like angry and start becoming like this, this, this evil ogre of anger like you do, which is exactly what you did.
Oh, shit.
Am I going to be Team Neon this one?
Maybe.
Don't think that stress has to lead to anger.
It's like, that's what everybody does.
Like, no.
It's actually not the correct thing at all.
It's kind of interesting tell right there.
where she's like, we don't have to get angry just because you're stressed out.
I'm like, yes, I do.
That's what everyone does.
Like, oh, maybe you do need to talk to someone.
Oh, fuck off.
You're right.
That was, uh, that's pretty much the sentiment.
So, Bill gets mad here.
And, uh, I could see why his wife would be pissed at him.
Not that.
So anyway, by the time we got there, you had a fucking attitude.
And it was supposed to be a thing where you walked in.
You were like, oh, my God, we're doing this.
this is amazing and you were like
with like this fire in your eyes
and like you know
this whole energy
and it wasn't even fun anymore
the way he laughed in her face right there
yeah that could be like the last thing you ever hear
oh dude
that seemed
very dismissive
oh yeah for starters she's like listen I did a nice thing for you
you get yourself all worked up you showed up and you were pissed off
who was supposed to be something nice.
He's like, ha, ha, ha, yeah, that's what I did.
I mean, this actually sounds like a pretty good argument on his wife's part.
I hate to say it.
I'm not trying to take, why I'm trying to take signs.
I'm not the wrong side of this one.
God damn it.
I never denied that he had serious anger issues that probably made living with him difficult.
It just had nothing to do with this Riyadh comedy festival issue.
And the fact that he jumped into this thing headfirst and not the other shows that he's not willing to be in reality.
Yeah.
And this is interesting because they're trying to pretend like this is a fun,
like, this is a fun show that we're doing.
We're just kind of needling each other a little bit.
You know, your jaw is tightening.
Your eyes are darting back and forth.
Like, I see.
I know what's going on.
Because you would drive me nuts.
Because we were, we were like, we were like, and no, never mind that you
gave me this thing.
And you didn't allow enough fucking time.
So we can.
obviously you listen to this at the time that it came out and go okay i mean they're married they're being
a little playful and just kind of going back and forth but now knowing what we know that bill has decided
he has to change the entire personality become a completely different person because his wife has forced
him into this like this is what led to that and it's two years ago as adam pointed out so that makes
it even more powerful right like this has been going on for quite some time and so when bill passive
aggressively goes, hey, I guess it's my
anger is the fucking problem around here.
I got to fix my anger problem.
It's like, I don't know. I heard just like four
clips. I'm kind of like, yeah, that sounds
like maybe that's part of the problem right there.
But then I'm reminded
that they're both fucking insufferable.
I was trying to leave earlier and you
were doing your typical thing where you take
forever to do, yes, I am
because this is a neologue.
Typical thing. Typical you.
You put on one item of clothing at a time
at the slowest pace ever you like put your sucks all slow and then you slide around the house
for a little bit more going where my shoes what shoes you know where are we doing why is this a
podcast why did bill do this he's doing no one any favors with this no one's coming up well on this
show it's like he's at dinner with another couple and he just has to keep like laughing to make
you we're like this all the time
Oh, yeah.
And she does seem like she's very difficult to have a conversation with.
You're so full of shit.
We walked out of the house.
She left the fucking window open and the candle burning.
What does that have to do with anything?
Because you're doing that thing.
We're talking about one thing and you're bringing up something out.
You see, you're here.
I'm fucking raging.
I think the point is that you weren't ready to leave either, idiot.
That's the point.
Yeah.
She has a good point.
Her approach sucks.
Right.
Yeah.
But that would be very annoying.
also it's uh la it's like rush hour something everything's going to take two hours she surprised
this on him and apparently with not enough time so they were stressed the whole way over and also
apparently this is something she says he's talked about wanting to do is this class i doubt it
that's what she says i mean she probably breezed it up he's like ah that sounds fun oh yeah that'd be
great babe sure yeah that'd be great for my birthday is this what's a surprise
And he's like, I hope so.
I'm making the right decisions.
That means I'm doing everything right.
I think it's what a lot of marriages are like.
So then they bring up this horseback riding excursion that was done for Bill's birthday.
In a previous birthday, sounds like something that Bill would be really excited about, right?
Not so much.
So we did all the other fun things for your birthday, like the concert and the horseback riding.
Horseback riding was your birthday.
And whatever.
No, that was your birthday.
No, it was yours.
You are such a fucking lying here right now.
That was your birthday.
It was not my birthday.
Oh, my God.
You're such a lying sack of shit.
Why is every fucking photo from that day about you on the goddamn horse?
Because you were taking it.
I wanted to put it on my Instagram.
It just got you there.
I mean, I think I'm Team Bill on this.
one. I'm a feeling he's just like, yeah, great, we'll go horseback riding. I don't know any guy
who thinks that's going to be a fun afternoon. Well, what he said was, I think she misconstrued.
He said, like, I want to go horseback riding like in a Western. And she took him on a like little
tour trail where all the horses are connected. And he's like, this is not what I want to do.
I wanted to. He's not a fucking merry go around. He's like, that was not what I was. Can I shoot a gun or something?
No, okay. Yeah, this is easy. Either way, it does give you the sense that there's no pleasing this
Yeah, well, this continues.
And right here, you're going to hear Bill play to the audience,
which would be pretty obnoxious if I was the wife.
And I like me, walking into the pasta class,
after fighting through rush hour traffic.
Sure.
So I'm...
Hey, Bill, you want to take a cooking class right in the middle of rush hour traffic?
We'll leave with a half hour.
That was, oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
All right.
Okay, I was an asshole there as long as you agreed that the horseback riding thing was for you.
It was not for me, and I won't agree to that.
You see this, guys, it's all or nothing with her.
She doesn't see compromise.
boot camp did you imagine them in couples therapy no you know he's doing that thing with
his hand to the side going can you get a load of her yeah she's always like this at home too
what a bitch am i right see you next tuesday huh then they get into this this boot camp
and uh this gets really petty the argument here it it's not even worth arguing about
so some guys going to be screaming at you with his hands on his on your thighs adjusting you
is that basically oh i wish no it's a it's a woman
It's a woman, a really nice woman who does it, but she's really tough to...
Is she older?
No, she's like 30-something.
No, some of the way you said that.
She's a really nice woman.
She's a woman.
She's a woman.
This is the way you said it.
You might just sound like she was old.
That's because you refer to every woman, whether she's 80 or eight years old, a girl.
Is that true?
That is true.
Is that offensive?
Well, it's a little, I mean, if we were talking about Maya Angelou, you'd be like,
that girl writes some great poems.
You would say that.
I was with Bill on this one.
You call every woman a girl.
Are you offended by that?
Like, are you supposed to apologize for that?
I'm sorry.
Broad.
You're right.
Dingy broad.
So this argument continues.
I don't call old women girls.
You called your mom.
You said your mother, when you've referred to her, you said girl at one point.
No, I didn't.
You did.
I didn't.
If I did, that was a slip of the tongue.
Okay.
Well, then maybe it was a slip of the tongue.
Girl, I called my mother a girl.
Hey, girl.
Yeah.
Why are you just making up this shit about me?
I'm not making up shit.
But you say the word girl for women all the time when you should say woman.
It's not offensive per se.
Well, then get it off my fucking ass about it.
But I'm telling you,
you would call a blogger.
Who fucking cares?
This is getting real petty,
Adam, this argument that they're having.
Was that the point of this podcast for them to argue with each other?
This is,
they were trying to talk about.
something else, 40 minutes ago.
And then the pasta thing came up and then this argument has just gone back and forth.
And as soon as they start to move on, Bill brings it up again.
And this whole fight starts again.
So this is just, I guess, what they're like.
This is not a healthy relationship, it sounds like.
Well, it sounds like Bill needs to do a lot of work on himself.
Let's wrap this out.
You just make it up shit.
I'm not making up shit.
And do I do it while I'm taking a shit talking to you in this relationship?
No, of course not.
Yeah, boot camp.
So I don't know.
I don't know if anyone has ever done boot camp.
I want to hear about it.
I was working with this lady.
Well, before you started getting on the whole lady thing, you said girl a lot.
Trust me.
You did.
What else did I used to do that used to annoy you?
You know what?
I mean, we don't have enough time.
If this is what these neologues are going to be above.
I thought they were.
I got to say, Bill said exactly what I was thinking at that time.
Another point for Bill on that one.
She's like, well, you used to do that thing all the time.
I was like, well, then what are we talking about?
So I've corrected my behavior, and you're complaining about that now?
Mm-hmm.
What are we trying to accomplish here?
We're trying to avoid talking about the birthday gift she got for herself on his birthday.
Yeah, I think that's what it really comes down to.
Well, that's fascinating.
Yeah.
Poor Bill.
He's having a tough go at it.
Unfortunately, there's a lot more of it.
Yeah.
What's that?
I don't think that Bill is excited to be in a relationship with children.
I think you'd have to be traveling the world and doing whatever the fuck he wants based on what we just heard.
Yeah, he pretty much just spelled all that out.
Pretty much dead.
All right, let's get into it.
I don't know what John.
I don't know what kind of advice he's getting.
I don't know why he's doing this.
But John decided to go ahead and strike Cardiff Electric's YouTube
channel. Cardiff posted this on Twitter the other day. He says, let sleeping dogs lie. I barely
talk about Suttering John. He strikes my YouTube an attempt to get my personal information.
Result? I'm awake. And now I'm going to talk about John a lot. Sniping John every day in Rumble.
Interview with Oscar Turner. Wait for it. It's war. And he posts the screen grab of John
striking his channel. And it's so transparent what John's doing. He should know better. This is obviously
not a copyright violation.
Did you say transparent?
Fair enough.
You got me there.
So when you put in the copyright violation,
you have to explain where in the video your copyright exists.
And he writes content found during the 42, 54 second minute mark
to the three hour, 31 minute, 32 second minute mark.
Their time stamp.
It's insane.
It's just like, oh, so he just posted your show the entire time?
I've watched the potato many times
That's not what he does
It's not what he's doing
And John knows it's fair use
People are not happy with John Melendez
For doing that
Because he knows better
And it's bullshit
And he's gonna get his comeuppance
But this is a super chatter
Letting him know
That he's a piece of shit
For Striking Carter's channel
La la la la la la la la la
La la la la.
Um, yeah, okay.
It says people are allowed to cover you.
Get over it or leave.
Apparently you don't know the law.
I do.
By the way, I aced my L set.
Okay.
Where did this come from?
It's momentum to stuttering John.
It's insane.
The amount of lie.
that were uncovered in this documentary
by Sheet-Jitterson for John
to come out and just be like, I aced my
LSAT. He said,
you don't know the law, I do. He's like,
how should I follow this? Yeah, I follow this.
Oh, I aced my LSAT. Which, by the way, is not
proof that you know the law.
No. The LSAT is just to see
if you would be a good law student.
Yes. You don't have to study for,
anyway. You got a very high score.
Hyden and the dwarf.
School!
I don't bards and dubs.
He puts together some great videos.
So, I mean, the question comes down to, like, he knows we're not going to fall for this.
Is he just trying to convince himself that he's doing these things and, or does he really think that he's going to fool people?
Because he might come back next week.
You dumb fucks thought that I actually passed the LSAT.
Right.
You guys are so stupid.
But we've been through this, right?
He has claimed that I learned about, you know, transformative content.
I didn't before.
Now I know things.
So now he just forgot again.
Yes.
And he's going back to this.
And he knows better than all of us somehow.
Wow, he looks terrible here.
This is a Barnes and Noobs production, again, from Davenor's Anonymous on Reddit.
And he calls us projections of a dummy.
This is so well done.
So.
Potato.
Do what you got to do.
Just know.
Tomorrow I will be suing you.
Oh, boy.
Are you ready to talk to my friends at the police department?
I will be going down there tomorrow.
I've already called my attorney in Florida.
Yeah, we know.
You talk to every day.
This shit.
is happening.
All right, so this is where Bart Dube shows the projections to come up here.
This is fantastic.
And this shit is happening only because you couldn't take it and learn from it.
You decided to double down and be the asshole that you are.
You are a cowardly lying.
lying asshole
perfectly put
John he's always talking to himself
it's incredible
he wanted to say cowardly lion
yeah he did he did say cowardly lion
so now
John has doubled down
I did he strike Carter's channel for no
fucking reason and listen
there was a time when Cardiff was
trolling me you don't want that guy
on your set you know what I mean
like that dude he's got resources
he can pull some shit on
I am so glad that we are cool.
We're cool, right?
I hope we're cool.
It's texting with him today, complimenting him.
Very good job calling you to Jim's show.
Cardiff, you're the best.
Don't bother making any more games for me.
I'm fine.
We're good.
Plenty of games.
So, yeah, John has made a powerful enemy, it seems like, by doing that and then doubling
down and saying he's going to sue him now.
Cardiff lives in Canada.
This is exhausting.
It's how stupid that it's.
I talked to my friends of the police precinct.
Officer, should I sue this?
guy.
Holy shit.
All right.
This is the big announcement.
And I know we're a couple of days removed from this, but we haven't covered this.
I think this broke after Point Dabble Point.
I don't think we covered it on Point Dabble Point this week.
So this is big news.
John has Keanu on the show.
And don't worry, I cut out most of what Keanu has to say.
It's ridiculous.
But he can't wait to tell her the big news of something he's done.
he's very proud of himself for doing.
And this clip is impressive because we've watched John lie before.
And he has a lot of towels.
This clip has all of the towels.
You could tell he's lying.
I'm embarrassed.
Well, I'm not embarrassed.
It's just because I know it's stupid.
But anyway, we're talking.
I'm talking.
And then another friend of mine comes.
And, you know, and the person, you know, is, you know, is, is waiting for.
for his condo because
he's renting an apartment
here in this area but
he hasn't gotten it yet like he
signed the papers today
but I don't think it's
going to be open until I think Wednesday
up until like putting his
hand over his face and he's saying Wednesday
every stutter
every stammer happens when he's
lying
he's not quick on his feet so he's making all this
shit up
that the boss
And another buddy's there.
I'm talking to this guy and he's got a condo, but it's not.
We're reaching.
We've all been through that.
We've all had a buddy in that exact same position.
Sure, yeah.
So John being the caring soul that he is, reaches out and says, well, man, what are you doing then if you don't have any place to stay?
So I said, so where are you staying?
And he's like, I'm staying in my, you know, I'm living in my car.
And I, yes.
And I said, oh, come on.
You're not going to.
is it a nice car
so john is a caring soul one more
John is a caring soul
he sees this homeless guy at the bar
who's daydraking
who says he's living out of his car
and john thinks
I can fix this
but he's got a
but he's got a full-time job
he's not a delinquent you know
sure and I'm a trusting
like probably too trusting
you're not sleeping in your car
I go just I have an extra
bedroom just come stay at my house so so he stayed here on saturday night and then he stayed here
again on sunday night and and then this morning you know you know he he cleans up and he makes
the bed it looks just as good at brand new you know everything the chud explains that a made bed
looks brand new first of all yeah there's so many questions so much going on here so he went without a
bed forever. He was on
an air mattress. Right. But now he has
two beds. Now he's got a bed in
the spare room. Okay. According to
John. Right. And this guy
made it to look like
no one was there because it was always made
and there. Yeah, right. It was made when he
got there. Good point. It's fucking. Wow.
Yeah. The place is a
shithole. It's a pigsty. So the
fact that this guy comes in and tidies up
his room before he leaves. John's like, wow.
This comes up over and over again. I'm sure you've seen
this clip where he's just like, he
made the bed and dumb kianno's going oh he made the bed oh they're like gushing over this guy
who made a bed while he's staying over at john's house this whole story is nonsense this is all made
up bullshit this fucking homeless drifter somehow gets his way into john's house now i have a theory
on why that is because you saw in a movie i think i think because we're going to watch him
interact with this guy i think the guy's real i think the reason why they connected is alcoholism
that'd be my guess
I think John's got a drinking buddy
he's so lonely and listen to the way he sets up
this before he even says what we just showed
I didn't want to say this because I know they're going to say
well oh John's always got to say what a nice guy is
but I know that's going to be the narrative
but in case you hear the door open
I know this is crazy
I wasn't going to talk about this piano
but I know this is crazy
I admit it's crazy
but it's John Melendez
okay okay so i'm at the bar a couple of days ago okay and i and i'm talking to this dude also
a nice guy and he's from texas and and it turns out that uh he's been you know like oh i don't
want to say it just don't worry about it because it because i get ready to see it'll be i'll tell you
in prime so i think what happened there is the real story started to come out
was in his head, and he's like, oh, you know what, I better not say that.
And then he stumbled through that made up story that we just heard.
But I love the fact that he goes, you know, you guys, you're going to think that I'm just
taking credit for this thing and just patting myself on the back and just always have to
tell you what a nice guy am.
No, no, we think you're lonely.
We think that you would invite another alcoholic over to your house to hang out for the
weekend because you have no companionship.
This isn't surprising anyone.
I don't think it was a noble deed.
And honestly, I think there's a kickback.
back in it for John.
There it is.
As we're going to find out.
Yep.
That's definitely the case.
This is crazy because John is always bothering everyone who enters into his life.
As soon as you guys have each other's contact information, John is now up your ass.
I experienced this firsthand.
Talked to my buddy Vinnie Paul Lino.
Talk to Cardiff.
Talk to any number of people who have gone through this dabbling Dan talked about this.
When he would call it a Tuki show, you hear from a lot of the...
these people who are just like oh my god it's insufferable it never ends the favors you need he's
just constantly reaching out to tell you about what's going on in this life and what's bothering so what are
you up to yeah literally like those types of phone calls so listen to this horses shit
and i don't i called them today because i couldn't find my keys i'm like did you see my keys
and he's like nah and yeah i go you know can you check your car and he checks your car and you mean
for your keys i'm just kidding no no and uh it's
turns out. What a team these two are. What a team. John lost his keys and it would immediately
call his friend. I think he needed an excuse to call his friend. Yeah. Because listen to this
horseshit. The keys were in my bedroom behind the curtain. I got, I don't know. I must have had him
in bed and hit him off the bed. Either way. John lost his keys in his bedroom and called
this houseman, this housecast, his roommates. But,
either way, this lie is going nowhere.
Yeah, right. The point is, I called
the guy, because that's what we're going to find
now. He just wanted to talk about what they talked about
on the phone. You know,
I said, hey, thanks for making a bed.
And I go, you know,
you know, do the place to stay tonight. And he goes,
I'm not, you know, I don't think so. I was just
I go, we'll just come over and sleep
here. Again, I don't care.
So he's explaining. This guy
stayed over Saturday night and Sunday
night, made the bed last.
John calls him
I can't find my keys
So wait
The weekend
The weekend
John wasn't like hosting for some broad
Are you okay
You don't do that when I'm drinking my beer
That's all
I'm gonna destroy my computer
When you do that
No there were no women in sight
There's never a woman in sight
At this place
If there is he calls the police
Or it's a delivery person
It's a delivery person who speaks Spanish
That John berates
That's the only people
Only women who show up with this guy's house
And if they work for the cat rescue company
That too, yeah
So isn't that crazy
That John didn't communicate with this guy
Whether or not he had a place to sleep the next night
They're hanging out on weekends
We're gonna find out
Right
And he says that we're Saturday night
And then Monday he calls him like
By the way do you have a place to stay tonight
Like you guys didn't talk about this?
Right
Didn't you say Wednesday was when he was getting his condo or whatever
But you forgot about that already
None of this makes sense
I know
it's so funny
what are they talking about when they're hanging out the whole time
John's fire stick doesn't work
oh yeah and he sent emails and everything
and he can't figure it out
so the guy has his own fire stick
he happens to travel with a fire stick
interesting yeah and so he pops his fire stick
into the TV and they're able to watch football
and they watch football all weekend
Saturday there are two games
Sunday there were games all day and night
and they sat there and they watched football
and uh you know Keanu reacts
this, like John's a child
who just accomplished something at school that day.
She's like, aw, oh,
that's so nice.
And more about
the fact that this guy made the bed.
Somebody texted me, you know,
because I said to him, you know, thanks for making a bed.
And he said,
he goes, oh, let's see, he goes,
he goes, thank you.
I can't thank you enough for the hospitality, man.
You did more for me than you would think.
I'll be forever grateful.
I mean,
do you hear that where Kianu reacts to that?
He's a grown man talking about a text he got
from this drifter that he picked up
and let's sleep in his guest room.
And she goes,
let's remember a year ago,
Keanu explained that John's a kindergartner.
Please talk about how hot stuttering John is.
Just the hottest.
Just the hottest kindergartner that ever existed.
My God.
she also told i believe it was missy b at the time that she talks to him like he's a kindergartner
yeah because that's how you have to talk to john because he's his brain is not formed
and he took that well yeah he ended their relationship over it yeah he called her a horror
and they're not horror whatever he did but then she was like are you still mad at me john he said
oh come out let's make off okay and and yeah yeah man making the bed was the least i can do
It really was.
Isn't that a Christmas story?
It is.
Right, because I hate
when people say you're a bad guy.
You're nothing but nice.
What about that story made John nice?
John hung out with a drinking buddy
and drank beers all weekend
and the guy bought the case of Bush.
Of course he did.
Yes, the guy bought him a case of Bush light.
Yeah.
And then they drink beers all weekend watching football.
I see you don't like washing your feet either
Toe clip us
Who needs him? Am I right?
We have so much in common
But it's crazy that Keanu goes
I hate when people say that you're a bad guy
John's own children refuse to talk to him
He's obviously a bad guy
The fact that this vindictive narcissist
Who is hell-bent on ruining everyone's life
Over minor slights
Which has been proven time and time again
You try to get Dr. Steve
trying to get his medical license revoked.
He's trying to get Vince the lawyer disbarred,
all this shit that he does to people.
Like, he goes to the jugular,
trying to get my Patreon taken down.
He wants to ruin people's lives
if he feels that you've slighted him.
And he's like, oh, I hate when people say you're not a nice guy.
John's own son wouldn't sleep at his house
because the bed was in such bad shape.
There was like cat shit and stuff in it.
And because of that, offense to John,
John wouldn't tell his son that he loved him anymore.
Yep.
His son said, Dad, I love you.
And he gave him the silent treatment and dropped him off at his mom's house.
So he could think about.
And that kid did think about it.
Yeah, because his mom even said he stayed up all night.
Upset about that.
And no, he doesn't talk to him anymore.
But no, he's great.
I'm sorry.
That's a ridiculous notion that you're like inherently like a bad person.
You're actually a nice person.
You might get, you're kind of like, you might get in trouble for,
being so nice sometimes and being too
trusting.
Dum, dumb,
dumb,
dumb,
dumb.
It kind of wonders
why we all call her stupid.
Every single one of this.
That's just me.
Everyone recognizes how dumb
this woman is.
That's shit like that
is the reason why.
That's part of that clip is that
while she's talking about
what a great person he is,
you can see him staring at
her tits and licking his lips.
All right.
So,
Keanu is mentally challenged.
And John is a hero
and he equates
to a classic movie.
And now that I'm telling the story,
now I'm thinking about it,
and Gina wouldn't know this movie,
I'm thinking about planes, trains, and automobiles
when Steve Martin finally realized that Adele
doesn't have a home to stay in.
And he goes back on the train,
and he gets John Candy.
Telling him back to the house.
What an asshole.
John really sees himself as,
the hero in every scenario and he lets this fucking homeless guy crash at his place and buy
him beers and john's response to this is can you believe how amazing i am and we don't
know the truth it's obviously a lie we could tell by the way he explained it so people are
speculating i've seen a lot of gay references i'm not going to go there i know john's very
desperate for sex and desperate times call for desperate measures so who knows what's going on there
he's not desperate he's like Charlie Sheen who just had so many women for so long try something else for him to even be interested yeah you get bored there's also speculation that John has a roommate who's helping him pay the mortgage because he can't afford it also some speculation out there which it makes sense you got all that space maybe the guy will know how to use a broom that would be helpful I believe that guy wrote that letter because he was reading it when he said it and
similar to Opie, when anybody ever says anything nice about their character, he's won an award
and he has to give an acceptance speech to everyone he knows this.
He says, don't even mention it.
That's how nice I have.
I mentioned it.
I'll be mentioning.
I didn't need to.
It's on my resume now.
So this is like a day or two later, John's on with a gaggle of clowns on his show.
And his roommate comes in and we see him react to this new house guest that he has.
Is, yeah.
He wants to be fresh and unfiltered.
Hey, can do me if I ever just take some of the beers out of the freezer and put them in the fridge?
How are you, Keanu?
Okay.
So this is the interaction that I can't wait for.
This is John's homewife, what's really happening.
He's barking orders at his house guest.
Take the beers out of the freezer, put him in the fridge.
I don't know how to buy beers out of a cooler in a convenience store.
No.
Because I'm an idiot.
So I had to buy warm beers and put them in the freezer.
I don't even know how this happens.
Being an alcoholic that long, you think you don't go to the core to get the beer.
That's where they keep the cold beer job.
Anyway, it doesn't matter.
So this is fascinating.
I want to hear this interaction.
I want to hear what kind of relationship they have, how they talk to each other.
And fucking Ava won't keep her goddamn mouth shut.
You mean, you're under attack right now.
I know.
It's wild.
Are you doing okay?
They just rewrote what happened.
and that Ashley thing, where they're like, Kianu is begging.
Ashley,
Ashley suggested that you go on her show,
that you guys do a show,
and then you,
and you jumped on that,
but everyone just decided that.
I mean,
even Clay Dabbler learned very quickly
that when John's getting up to talk to the delivery person at the door,
keep your mouth shut,
Clay,
because we're going to crank the audio.
We want to hear the whole back and more.
That's going to be good stuff.
And Ava's instincts are,
oh,
people are beating up on you,
Keanu.
That's,
that's too bad.
Oh, shut up.
shut up.
Hart didn't happen.
Just completely rewriting history.
It's fine.
Dill Dog 1. Thanks for the fiber.
Ken, I love when you talk John like a kindergarner.
Again, you're going to say this.
You're doing the Lord's work with the less than capable.
Yes, okay.
It talks like 90% of people here like a kindergarten.
It's charming.
I'm just kidding.
Do I?
That's why I don't let that play.
a little bit longer.
Holy shit.
Miss Rachel says yes.
Ms. Rachel says peek-a-boo.
Oh, look at there's Keanu.
Holy shit.
That's the latest with John Mulendez.
It's amazing.
Don't have to keep an eye on that.
He was shouting at that guy the same way
he would talk to his mother.
Wouldn't it be great if you something something?
He always suggests things they could and should be doing.
And now he can order this guy around
if he's really, John's the landlord.
suddenly, and I bet he loves it.
Oh, yeah.
He's definitely enjoying this relationship.
And, uh, you look like you're hungry, man.
Would you make me a hungry man?
Look at us, two hungry men.
It's thawing on the counter, John.
I had to make room for the beer.
Yeah.
I'm chilling the beers on top of it.
It's defrosting.
All right.
Let's, uh, check it on the olpster.
I noticed an absence of our boy, Tony Pee.
Hmm.
Are we, we're just back to the Opie and Ron show now.
Tony wasn't available for one of them.
He offered to do it from his car, and Opie said that he wasn't okay with that.
So I think he'll be back.
Okay, good.
I'm glad to hear that.
So why don't we start with yesterday morning, the 6th of January, then we'll bless you.
Thank you.
And then we'll work our way backwards from there.
Awesome.
Opie starts out.
He has a bit that he's going to do.
This is impressive because we know that the Opster does not prep anything.
Ron's the one who has to drive the ship for some reason on the show, but Opie actually has something to do.
I want to start with something nice and easy, a little warm up.
up on the opi radio podcast, okay?
It's a crossword puzzle, okay?
I want to see how smart you are.
King Blank, a film about apes.
Okay.
Wow.
All right, so he's going to quiz Ron
on a crossword puzzle he's been working on,
riveting stuff.
Let's put Ron on the spot at 6 a.m.
See if his brain's working yet.
Let's find out why this bit is happening.
Satellite radios,
The Blank and Anthony show.
Say it again?
Okay.
So it turns out there must have been like a Google alert
or what was family members gave him a heads up.
Like, hey, I'm doing a crossword puzzle and your name is one of the answers.
So that's why Opie had to bring this to the show.
Okay, now it all makes sense.
Opie's name is involved.
Yeah.
It's not makes sense that that be why he found this crossword puzzle.
brings it. I had to sit through like five childlike questions before he got to the last one
here that he wanted. Why? What's the point of this? People like crossword puzzles, they play
them on their own. The answer is Jim, right? Well, okay. It's funny you say that. It's funny
you say that because let's see where Ron takes this. Satellite radios, the blank and
Anthony show.
Oh, the Jim
Norton and Anthony show.
You son of a bitch!
Yeah, that would have been
good. That's where the magic is.
Now, what I find
funny about this is, of course,
that's going to piss off Opie
to bring up Jim Norton.
And I don't think that Ron, even to this day,
understands how hurtful that is
to his buddy Opie. Because we
find out all the time that
Ron is clueless about any of the
history of the Opey and Anthony show or Howard Stern show or any radio shows that he
should know as a stand-up comedian I didn't think he'd be into these comedy shows that are
very popular but whatever he knows nothing about it so he just jokes like oh the Jim
Norton and Anthony show he goes ah that would have been that would have been the best if they
had done that's like actually yeah did you know that did you know that yeah everyone
wishes that would have happened opie's got his own funny gag that he had ready to go
he was chamber in this one well no
They were looking for the word has been.
I get it.
The has been an Anthony show.
Bro, I'm still a,
I'm still a crossword puzzle.
That's why I did that.
Look at that.
I'm still an answer in a crossword puzzle.
Wait a minute.
There's a real crossword puzzle.
What?
That's a crossword puzzle from where?
Oh, I don't know.
Like the math.
Hey, so at least you were famous enough to be on a crossword.
Yeah, I know, but, you know, I think they've got to change that to has-been.
Oh, my God, you already said that twice.
It doesn't get funnier the more times you say the punchline, Opie.
He has no comedy instincts at all.
Yeah, Opie holds the crossword puzzle up to the screen so we can read that the other answers are eggs, pan, art.
This was for children.
Yes, I know.
Every word is four letters.
Cool stuff.
King blank.
And once again, he can't handle any follow-up questions or pushback.
Where's it from?
I made it myself.
My son made it in school 13 years ago.
All right.
So do you want to talk about where Ron goes with this?
Yeah, he found a clip.
He says he found a clip himself from Opie Radio when he was at serious with Jim about Jim being upset that somebody else is given a sandwich.
And he can't understand, again, he's saying, what kind of comedian is this meta, is this real?
Ron can't wrap his mind around Jim, but he thinks he must be a terrible person.
I came across this video, and it looks like there's a fat Christa Steffano.
Handing a sandwich to like a guy in some sort of felt suit and like some crumbs fall on Jim Norton's lap.
Dude, Jim is like Jim, the look on Jim No one's face.
This is this an act.
What's going on?
Okay.
So he brings this up, and then we're going to see the clip that he's referring to here.
So this is an important aspect of what we're about to get set up for for the rest of the show.
What's going on, buddy?
You want some sandwich?
We got sandwich.
Yeah.
Yep.
What's that guy's name, Piff, the Magic Dragon or something like that?
Oh, yeah, from Vegas.
Yeah.
He was on, it's funny because he was actually on some.
reality comedy show during the pandemic
that he was competing against
Chip Chipperson
Everyone else who was on this wasn't trying to win
But this guy ended up winning it
And now he has like some residency in Vegas
We just saw ads for him when we were there
Recently I think that's Mark Norman too sitting there
Yeah Mark Norman's on the on set as well
What's going on buddy?
You want some sandwich we got sandwich
Yeah, there you go buddy
You're from Leone's
Leone's Deli and Brooklyn
From Leone's
His head's going to explode.
Huh?
His head's going to explode.
Look at his face.
It's over a sandwich.
So Opie's loving this because Jim's making a face as the sandwich gets crossed,
gets handed off right in front of him, and some crumbs fall down.
And Opie's cracking up.
Remember,
Opie claims he has more listeners than viewers.
So he's not even explaining it.
Sure.
They just watching this thing and he's just belly laughing at it.
So then they start speculating on what's going on with Jim.
He must be a real pain in the ass if this is how he reacts to crumbs falling off a sandwich in front of him during the show.
The fact is, you know, Jim Norton had a problem.
I would say pretty much every day I ever did radio with the guy.
and the old O&A staff would agree
if they weren't scared of the guy
whatever I don't care about that
that's up to them if they want to be scared
of them though
I don't know I don't know
great follow of question Ron
fantastic follow of question
this is such a cop out from Opie
because he knows he can't explain it
it's like why don't people talk shit about
Jim's behavior and they talk shit about your behavior
because they're scared of Jim
why would they be scared of Jim
I don't know
this is the same thing that Opie said
about the executives at serious
giving Howard big contracts
because they're scared of them.
Right.
You think there might be a different reason
why an executive
would hand over a contract to talent?
Take our money.
Yeah.
Oh, Howard's here.
It's such a childish thing to say.
And thankfully,
Ron's just like,
what do you mean?
They're scared of him.
He doesn't work there anymore,
Jim Norton.
So if people wanted to settle his hash,
they certainly could.
If anyone wanted to be like,
yeah, working with Jim was a huge pain in the ass.
I haven't heard it.
I don't know, maybe it's out there.
I've heard it from a lot of people about Opie.
It's been documented.
People are afraid of Opie, people that work for him.
And he wields that around.
He might fire them.
They are afraid of him.
Right.
Opie was the one who used fear to keep people in line.
But no, no, no.
Jim is the guy who's difficult.
I mean, there were times he would, you know,
he would get his breakfast order in front of him
and something would be wrong about the breakfast order.
And then he would turn and spit on the floor.
That was always fun when you're just trying to have fun with a radio show.
All right.
We've reentered the Jim Norton bashing cycle.
This happens every now and again.
It's pretty consistent with Opie, where he starts going after Jim Norton
because he knows that gets viewers and clicks and interest.
And that's the thing people are interested in is him talking about Sam Roberts,
Anthony Coomia, Jim Norton, Eric Nagel to some degree.
If he starts going after those guys, then people are interested.
Like, whoa, what's Opie saying?
And so Opie throws out this anecdote, this one example of Jim getting a breakfast sandwich incorrect and spitting it on the floor.
Now, I don't know anything about this.
I don't know what the context is.
I'm not going to speculate on what it might have been, but...
He made it pretty clear.
Opie's just trying to have fun doing a radio show.
Everybody's in a great mood.
And there's Jim just spitting and huffin.
That's it.
What else is there?
yeah so uh ron reacts to this and then opi pretends he's the one who brought it up always the one who brought it up
obi pretends that he's above all of it ohby that's not normal behavior that's like a fucking spoiled
little brat well ron that's you i'm i'm it's 2026 you know i i started moving my body more
what i started meditating you fucking spit on the floor because they got your order wrong what
are you fucking getting me i started like you know doing my power walking and my swimming
meditating. I'm trying to eat a little better. I didn't have ice cream last night. So why are you dragging me back into this?
You put it off. Leave it alone, Ron.
Guys, Adam, I don't know if you know this, but when people come here in studio, producer Chris, he fucking spits in their faces.
It's pretty fucking crazy what he does. Yeah, it was in the handbook. I don't want to talk about it, Adam. Why are you bringing it up?
we don't need to talk about what's going on
I'm better than that now
I'm taking care of myself
I'm focused inward not outward
it's 2026
and I'm celebrating my first month
not getting pissed off
congratulations
this is very very manipulative
what he's doing he's filling his head
full of these ideas making him think they were his own
I'm wondering
whether Ron knows or not
whether they're both in on this together
or whether Ron's being totally played
good question
dude he couldn't let it go oh jim the jim doesn't let anything go what the fuck i mean look i had a
tough time letting things go because that's going to be the next thing that happens in the chat of course
but jim norton it has to be said has a very hard time letting things go
jim hasn't talked about opi in years said the guy who just brought this up yes this is
insane jim can't let things go if you bring up opi to jim he shuts it down immediately
He was going to go, yeah, and one time he threw a temper tantrum on the show, he could,
he could spout off tons of examples of that, and he doesn't.
He chooses not to.
So why is Jim able to wield this kind of power and get away with all of this?
God, you're just going after Jim Norton again, like half these fucking comedians will have
nothing to do with me again, because Jim Norton controls, he's the gatekeeper.
You got to get past Jim Norton.
He's the gatekeeper in comedy, especially in New York City.
Is that, is that, are you bullshit?
or is that a real thing?
I don't know.
I don't know.
It's incredible.
As soon as Ron
just pushes back
even slightly,
Opie Gibbs said,
I don't know.
I just made that up.
Just saying stuff.
Yep.
And that makes me wonder
how much Ron is being manipulated
because it sounds like
he was willing to go along
with this bit,
but it'll get ratings,
we'll talk about.
But then when he's like,
wait,
this is going to hurt my comedy career?
Is that true?
Is he really the tapekeeper?
Because I'm a comedian.
What the fuck are we doing here?
Also, Opie's,
said that if I talk about Jim,
none of the comedians won't have anything to do with me.
Right.
Again.
Yeah.
It's said he's got all these comedians coming on the show.
Rich boss is going to for next week.
So let's not talk about Jim Norton.
I think there probably was a time that people probably sucked up to Jim a little bit
because they wanted to get on the opening an Anthony show.
So being friendly with Jim.
Yeah.
So I can see where you'd like see him as a gatekeeper.
Not now.
That's certainly not the case of why people are friendly with Jim Norton.
I think they just enjoy his company.
This is funny, because to your point, Adam, Ron might be on this and trying to push this and make this a thing.
You have said to me off camera, like Anthony and Jim Norton literally brought nothing to the show.
So all the pressure is on my shoulders, meaning yours.
So I have to come up with the content.
I'm the one answering the phones.
I'm the one, you know, you're producing the show.
You're the one hiring people, firing people.
people don't realize that whole other side of the business
where the where Jim Norton and Anthony are literally just showing up phoning it in
well that's people don't understand that
now you just pissed off to Anthony fan base you're fucking nuts Ron
fucking phoning it in all right there's a couple ways to react to that Opie
you could say listen I had my faults too I can't pretend that I was doing all the work
and those guys weren't doing anything they were doing heavy lifting and what their
talents were I was doing what I needed
to do or you could say
you're right now if these fans are going to get pissed off
that's what he did
he did the latter
he decided to go ahead and just
pour some gasoline on that spark
and just see what would happen from that it's like
that's all ridiculous talk
to say that Opie was the only one working on that show
how many people would we talk to who worked on that show
told us just the opposite Opie was the waziest piece of shit
there was Opie's currently
talking to someone who's working 10 type
as hard as him.
Yes.
And that's funny that Ron goes,
you've told me this off the air
that you worked harder
than all those guys.
That's an interesting conversation.
That's what Opie's telling his friends
off the air in their private time.
Friends.
Remember he said he loved him?
I think they're best buddies now.
That's a weird thing to talk about
how you were a better worker
than your co-workers at a job.
It's an interesting conversation.
I think Ron
he suspects something
because if you're making a record
and you hire like Witten Marsalis to come play trumpet.
You're not like all the guy did was show up, play trumpet and leave, phoning it in.
That's what they do.
He's not producing the record and you're not either, Opie.
You're on-air talent.
They're funny.
You're not.
So you're trying to justify your existence through ways that aren't funny.
And it's this stuff, but you're taking away credit to Eric Nagel and all the other producers
that worked on that.
Yeah.
Jim was hired because he's a comic, not because he answers phones.
Wow.
That's why Stuttering John was hired because he answers.
It's very different.
We've got to talk to you about the branding and the merchandise.
Where have you been?
It's ridiculous.
By the way, Ron, they're already going after me in the chat.
This was all Ron.
Ron went after Norton.
Ron went after Anthony.
I actually defended those guys and said that.
Opie, you have a big hard on.
All you do is talk about Jim Norton is, Jim Norton.
You have a real hard on for this guy.
It's all you do is talk about Anthony and Jim Norton.
You have to get over it.
You have to get back into therapy.
You have to get over this.
Pitting each other against each other in the chat now.
The majority of the chat is saying give Ron his money.
Where's Ron's money?
What happened to Romica?
I believe it.
That's really what Opie's glossing over here.
I have to play this clip for you because Opie claims that he was a big Joe Rogan fan
and that things have dropped off and he has an explanation on why that is.
Rogan's kind of calling it in nowadays, huh?
I got a bunch of...
I don't listen to Joe Rogan that much anymore.
I used to be a huge, huge fan of his show.
I listen to a lot of his stuff.
But the people close to me that still listen to Rogan,
they're basically saying he's kind of calling it in.
And I kind of defend it Rogan.
I'm like, what else is there to do?
The guy makes over $100 million a year.
There's no motivation anymore.
First off, Opie was never a huge fan of Joe Rogan's show.
I've listened to Opie talk about Joe Rogan for years.
He wasn't glued to the content at any point.
also how telling is that in opi's mind once you get the big paycheck the big contracts there's no reason to be motivated
you should just phone it in that makes all the sense in the world that explains why he's playing candy crush on air
during the opi and anthony show which leads me to point three phoning it in thank you car not calling it in
mailing it in i will allow that yeah but that's what he was trying to say but talking about candy crush
he's sitting there scrolling his phone through the entire conversation here i want someone to zoom in on that
reflection and show us what he's looking at.
Yeah, you're right.
He's doing that without a contract.
Yeah.
He hasn't even making the big bucks yet.
He thinks that they're going to blow up any day now.
And this is what he's doing.
What is he like doing?
What would he love to do?
If money was not an issue, it's not this.
Apparently, even though he says he loves doing it, what would you be doing?
I think he'd be harassing street musicians.
What he loves and what he's good at.
That's what he likes to do.
Follow your heart.
That's what he adjourned.
He'd be making fun of Chinese people in Central Park.
Yep.
Loves that, but it's winter, so it makes it tougher for him.
All right, do you want to back up to Monday's episode, the fifth?
I do, but right before we do that, you don't need to play the Audible.
Opie goes out of his way to talk about how they were an answer in the New York Times crossword puzzle.
I'll play that real quick.
No, I used to be in the New York, I think it was the Daily News crossword puzzle on a regular basis.
And I believe, if I'm not mistaken, we were once an answer in the New York Times crossword puzzle, the Blank and Anthony show.
I could see why they would need something for a four-letter word, O-P-I-E, three vowels.
Right, yeah, exactly.
That's how that works.
Sure.
All right.
Well, I looked it up, and I thought it was very interesting.
Watch the progression of this.
It's multiple times that they were the answer in the New York Times crossword.
It starts in 2006, and it ends in 2017.
See if you can see the direction this is moving.
2006, radio's
Blank and Anthony's show.
2013.
Anthony's partner in radio.
Oh.
2014.
Anthony's longtime partner
on satellite radio.
2015, Anthony's former partner in radio.
That's hilarious.
He was not working together.
It's like the guy that Anthony weren't to have.
Doggy's partner on the deck.
Well played, Adam.
We could choose some research.
All right.
Let's back up to Monday, the Opie and Ron show.
Yopi and Rodd used to be one day a week, two days a week.
Monday and Tuesday.
Well, no, it's not the Howard Stern show.
I'm talking about phoning it in after a contract, two days a week.
No, they were like, it was Wednesdays with Ronnie or something, wasn't it for a minute?
Oh, yeah.
Now it's the O&R show.
Now it's the O&R show.
And this is exciting because they have big plans.
And they're going places.
Ron is, I think, needling us a little.
bit here. I think he wants to get our attention in this clip. Opie, I'm not going to say the name
because they don't deserve the publicity because they don't get the numbers we got. But there's
another podcast out there that their whole podcast is based on the Opey and Ronnie show.
And all they do is watch our show and cut up clips and comment on it. They don't do anything
else. Without the Opey and Ronnie show, that other podcast doesn't even exist.
You know what they would talk about if they didn't have Opie and Ronnie?
What?
They pull a Joe Rogan.
There's aliens under the pyramids.
I mean, what else?
Screw all those idiots.
Listen to me.
Hope he's eating that up.
He loves that talk.
Go screw.
No, of course.
I think it's messed up for him to call out blind Mike like that.
And I think we should defend him.
Yeah, come on.
Mike talks about other things.
Seriously.
Fighter of the kids sometimes.
No, I think it's very funny that Ron's, you know, saying that, like, oh, that's all we talk about.
When I're starting John and Aaron Imble and say that in, like, earnest.
Oh, yeah.
They're just like, oh, if I went away, Aaron said it all the time, if I go away, there's nothing else to talk about it.
That money should be mine.
Yeah, at least Ron could joke around about it.
So, Opie brings up Northwest, I believe this is Yay's daughter.
Yep, with Kim Kardashian.
Okay.
She blacked her teeth and she's got like, what, uh, she's,
She's got that nose ring.
What is it called?
A base or whatever it's called.
How old is she?
12.
Dude,
she's got a face tattoo.
Give me a break.
Come on.
Well,
I mean,
I doubt those are,
I doubt those are permanent,
man.
I doubt,
you know what?
I don't give a shit.
I think I,
I think I just,
you know what?
We can move on.
I don't give a shit.
I thought I was going to say,
would you?
Right.
I was really like,
what are we talking about here?
One of the chances that Yey's daughter would be a freak.
go figure no what happened there why did he change his mind all of a sudden that's a good question
he felt differently about it all the sudden he's like well maybe i don't want to get on kandia's
bad side maybe he's going to fuck him at some point Pete davison then you know
hope he's like probably probably a chance uh but now opi's got uh got it all figured out
this is why this topic made no sense to me yeah because you have
You have a 13-year-old daughter, and you have no limitations on what she's being exposed to with social media.
That would keep me up at night.
I don't know how you sleep.
That would worry me so much.
13-year-old brain is just not developed.
It's rewiring their brains.
You're not wrong, but we talked to our kids like they were adults from a very young age.
My daughter, I'll tell you right the fuck now.
She's doing things on the social media.
She's not telling you about.
That's just human nature.
you still oh i know you think you by no no i'm telling you never you never you never lied and
fooled your mother and father they're doing the same to you they don't even have social media yet
that's one thing we held back oh they definitely do yeah they have phones that's hilarious yes
they have phones we know that we heard the story about his daughter getting her iPhone yeah so ron's
calling him out she's 13 years old you know what she's doing on that phone right and opi's like
no no no we tell her not to she's not doing any of that stuff and the tell was
She doesn't even have social media.
Oh, she definitely does.
100%.
This was a topic last week.
Yes, she was talking about it.
His Instagram and he discovered it and like all the shit that she's up to and called her out and then got blocked.
He's like, but not my kids now.
My kids know better.
We've talked.
We've had the talk.
They know.
Idiots.
So Obie's, they're in agreement.
Don't talk about these younger people.
Don't, this is not a good look for us.
So Opie goes, okay, what about?
about Amanda Binds in this next one.
That is unbelievable.
She's just,
she's a different person.
She's literally a different person.
Physically, mentally, psychologically.
How far behind is Opie?
This Amanda Binds photo that he's showing?
It's got to be five years old at this point.
Maybe older than that.
That before and after,
like we're,
we all know about that.
We've all moved on.
And it was,
have you seen Amanda Binds?
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
That's why he knows his kids.
aren't on social media
they're not around
oh fuck you're right
he's still going back
oh no I forgot
he's still stunted
in the last year
that they were on earth
that they were here
everything is from that year
oh my god
that's why his daughter
didn't find the iPhone
in the balloon
remember she didn't find
on her birthday
right yep
who would not find
their new iPhone
on their birthday
someone who's not there
that's right
fuck
yeah this is intense
this is intense
we're discovering
something
right now. This has just become a true crime show.
We're going to the bottom of a shit.
Hey, let me say that. Hold on. My question
there is, where the fuck is her family,
man? Where's her family?
Where's your family?
Where's your family, I'll be.
You can do shit on your own.
Like, you know, when you're 18, you can say,
fuck you. So, I get it. I understand.
Hold on. Yeah.
This is what I love about, you know, the childhood
stars who crash and burn. Yeah.
You know who's still going strong and not giving
up? I just love this guy so much.
Who?
Corey Feldman.
Oh my gosh.
Welcome, guys.
Welcome to the Internet.
Come on in.
All are welcome.
Can learn about Corey Feldman.
Yeah.
His music career.
That's your gateway drug.
Holy shit.
These guys are out of it.
Do you see this guy Charlie biting a finger?
Oh, it's hilarious.
It's hilarious.
It's unbelievable.
All right.
So, let's talk about Opie paying Ron.
it's got to get brought up we need to know more
nine out of ten probably ten out of ten
if I get nine out of ten
a hundred bucks goes to my good friend Ron
the waiter yeah I didn't get a hundred dollars
I didn't get nothing
you yet Ron you was fucking it was like
you almost half wrong now
do you have PayPal give you $100 right now
you have PayPal and give you $100 right now
now listen to me yeah good
that was an opportunity that Ron messed out on
because Opie seems to pay on
net 60 terms for some reason he still
hasn't paid Ronica for some reason.
And he goes,
oh,
you got a PayPal.
He gives me right now.
Ron should have given out his PayPal
on the show.
Yeah.
We would have been on WATP just now.
I realize we don't have the same numbers that they do,
but Ron's too good of a guy.
He doesn't think a lot of those terms.
That's true.
That's true.
And as soon as Opie's like,
I'm good for it.
Ron's like,
I haven't seen you yet.
I haven't seen you.
There's no other way to pay him.
Paying someone in person is actually kind of gauche now.
Oh, you think?
Yeah, it's a lot easier.
Just be like,
I'll just, here you go, here's money.
But I'm confused.
How can they not have seen each other if they had a date at the diner?
And if Opie was just at Ron's live comedy show, these are promises he made.
Wait, the comedy show is coming up later this month, I think, right?
Wasn't it the 16th or something like that?
I hope.
Hopefully, yeah.
I'd be very upset if Opie is a liar.
Well, no, I'm just saying if Opie doesn't show up to that because Ron was so excited.
Yeah, that's true.
Have you ever seen Opie more excited than that diner?
Yeah, he was stoked about the diner.
That's true.
Never happened.
Couldn't give you the money.
Nothing I can do.
All my pills are paid in person.
That's crazy.
Ron is like sweeping for Opie big time in this episode.
No one else is doing this magic right here.
We don't even talk about it.
Opie cried on radio.
Yeah, I did.
Real men are in touch with their feelings.
Oh, he's back.
Opie cries.
Yeah, I did.
Because I'm a human being loser.
All right, Ron.
I got it.
I got to go.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Bye, everybody.
I almost felt the feeling I got to go.
Yeah, right.
I went to the radio.
It's like, yeah, yeah, that's what we're talking about.
You crying at the radio.
And Ron should have been like, you cried on the radio?
The fuck was that about, you know?
That's so embarrassing.
Instead of Roger's a sweeping farm.
Yeah, yeah, he cries.
It's cool.
Everyone's crying at the radio.
It was such a minor insult, and he took it so harshly.
But when things come in for Ron, earlier in this episode, he was like,
Oh, this guy says you're a douche, Ron.
And just leaves it up.
Yep.
No overreaction.
Deal with it.
Oh, you know what?
Vinnie Paulino just sent me over, apparently, our buddy brother Wees, who was let go from IHeart, whatever he was working for.
He said you're a douche.
He probably will because he's starting up a new podcast.
I know.
What's called?
Very exciting.
I don't know.
I was looking for it today.
I don't think it's out yet, but he announced it on social media with, like, flicking off the camera, like,
I'm back.
Watch out.
Ooh, it sounds edgy.
Sounds very edgy.
Sorry.
That explains where Tony's been.
That's where Tony's been.
Oh, maybe Tony's doing whee's show.
Oh, you know, Opie dropped an F-bomb.
He did.
And said shit.
Just now?
Yeah.
And what we just reviewed.
Interesting.
Because coming up, we're playing the Burr or Opie game.
And that was one of the notes that I gave to Simon.
I'm like, this seems to be a towel.
So maybe he'll fuck with us with that.
Okay.
Interesting.
Yeah.
Do you want to see an impression?
that opi does oh yeah it's pretty good grudge village i think that's where he cut his teeth
with uh with julia robert's brother uh eric robert he got his finger cut off in that movie
charlie they took my time charlie i didn't do it my way we're doing charlie i love that lot
and then uh and then he made a huge comeback in the you guys want to see what the uh
original was the source yes yeah i hope it was doing the impression of it's pretty smart
Terrick Roberts.
Charlie, they took my thumb, man.
Oh, who did?
It hurt so much.
Holy, what happened?
The bad bug took my thumb, man.
Are you sure that wasn't Opie again?
I love how Ron was like, oh, oh, do it, do it.
And he was like, that's all I got.
That was it.
He thought you were going to keep going, like you knew some of it.
Yeah, that's all he's got.
All right, let's go back to Friday the 2nd.
and so Ron is ball-washing Opie
Ron believes the numbers
We've been seeing these numbers coming in
Because he does the vertical
What Opie's doing now is he is simulcasting his show
I think four different ways because it's on two channels
One's horizontal, one's vertical on each channel
And so he's trying to get views
By just being on YouTube as much as possible
And we know that the vertical videos
Are showing up on the YouTube
not YouTube live
but whatever their
competitor to TikTok is
that they have
YouTube shorts
yeah YouTube shorts
so it's showing up there
and Opie's getting these views
but no one's watching it
they're just scrolling through real quick
and moving on
but Ron is believing this
and thinking that they are taking over
the internet
I got to know the real
Opie and guess what people
he actually is a nice guy
he actually like loves his family
and he has a good hat
And that's the side of Opie, I got to know by, you know, we're going on three years now doing this.
And the truth is, I'm grateful for it.
And I truly believe Opie and I are doing as good of work than anybody right now on the airwaves.
Oh, damn.
Now, I'm going to take some responsibility for this.
I think we've been a little bit too complimentary of Rod the waiter.
Yes.
He is saying that they're doing as good at work as anyone right now.
Yeah, calm down.
It's hot garbage.
It's why we cover it every fucking week.
It's really bad.
We love you, Ron, but come on.
What do you think is actually going on here?
Well, Opie, I think, is feeling it as well.
I think Opie's realizing that this is the new duo in podcasting.
I was content just fooling around with the windowsill show.
I was content.
I didn't have to prove nothing to anybody.
All these idiots out there that trash and have to be toxic.
and negative. I laugh at them
because I'm like, I already know what I did in my
career. I was having fun with a little
windowsill show with the stupid
sun coming up. I didn't even have good
equipment. I didn't give a shit.
And then, Rod.
Oh my life. He says, how about one more
run at it? Hope. I'm like, oh, you
have no idea what it takes to do that. But sure,
why not, Rod?
Wow. And now he gives a shit.
Opie thinks he's doing a different show than he
was doing before. Exactly. That's
crazy to me. This is the same thing. It's just
with an annoying Jewish man.
He just said, this is me with effort.
That's wild.
He thinks that he's going on another run.
Yeah.
And remember, if you listen to our Patreon episode, we just put out recently,
patreon.com, let's hear these podcasts.
We went back and listened to Opie's show from 2018,
and Opie was convinced that he was going to start from nothing
and build it into this huge show.
He couldn't wait to do it.
And everyone witnessed what he was able to accomplish without Anthony and Jim.
And he's delusional again.
We're back.
Let's go.
I don't know if it ever stopped, but...
I mean, he definitely was not working real hard for a long time.
He still isn't, but he thinks he's doing something.
You see how he ended it there where he said, Ron, you don't know how hard this is?
You have no idea what you're asking.
He told Ron last week that all he had to do was turn on his mind.
It would all just happen, that it was a choice that he was making.
Now it's this impossible uphill battle.
Well, yeah, I think he's setting expectations.
I think Ron really, this is his lottery ticket.
Like, Ron's life is.
not going well
stick is very very dry
it's kind of a bumper
unless the ceiling
came in again
he better hope it to
rage real hard again
in Queens
or else he's not
his dick's not getting wet
there's a bit where
they're ending the stream
and Ron's like
I'm getting kind of a little
getting a little tired
or a little woozy
and Obie says yeah me too
and Ron says like
I gotta eat
and Obi goes yeah yeah me too
me too I got to eat
I'm like I don't think you heard him
Yeah, Ron's about to pass out.
Yeah, I got it.
And food isn't coming around easily.
I'm a little broke.
Like, I got to eat, buddy.
I got to go.
Yeah, I'm not hung up on the selections, exactly.
Thank you.
Thank you.
And I think watching this backwards from, in not chronologically, really reveals how Ron is being manipulated.
Because now we're talking about the views.
There's a version of this episode that has 8,000 views in one comment.
Somebody bought that.
Sounds realistic.
But I don't think Ron knows that.
You're like, why would he buy that?
It's so embarrassing to convince Ron that things are happening.
Yeah.
Because Ron knows what WATP is, and he knows they don't just cover one topic.
So he's either lying because Opie told him to or he's just chilling the company line.
Yeah.
Well, Ron also been paying attention to things that Anthony is saying and what's going on with a potential Opie and Anthony reunion, which Ron,
thinks could actually happen if opi was into it i think it was the gomez guy
something louis gomez yeah i don't know what the question was and anthony looked right at
louis gomez and j o'cerson and said why can't opi just fucking tuck his dick in between
his legs suck it up and let's fucking make some money and anthony's like do we can make like
serious money. Why can't Opie just fucking tuck his dick in between his legs? Why? Because he has
morality. There's bigger things than just money. I'm trying to be a better person every single
day, Ron. I'm trying to be better every day. And I did that already. I already sucked it up.
There was a time I shouldn't have been on that show anymore, and I sucked it up because the money was
insanely good. I'm not going to lie to you. I can't make believe that. That was the only reason I stayed in it
as long as I did.
If we were making average money,
I would have left
fucking years before
the whole thing
came apart.
Damn it.
There's another Dr. Prepper.
Morality.
So Ron gave him the out there.
It's not because nobody doesn't want to face
the truth about what his role was
and their demise
and what a piece of shit he was to work with
and how little he contributed.
No, no, no, no.
He's not doing the reunion because he has morals.
That's why he doesn't.
need he doesn't need that stupid money although the one guy who needs the money more than
anyone is is opi and we're going to find out that when he finds when he hears what ron
thinks they're going to make he gets very excited about it did did you say billions though
but wait millions right you don't i mean it would be it wouldn't be it wouldn't be
it wouldn't be peanuts it wouldn't be ronica money
I can let the racism slide.
No, but honestly, I don't think people realize, like,
if Opie really did want to make serious money,
he could go back with Anthony, and he's doing it,
and he literally said to me, Ron, I have children,
and I need to set an example.
What are you doing?
I kick it over the fact that it could be millions.
All right, so the Opium Ronnie run,
the Opium Ronnie show had a good run.
It wouldn't be millions of dollars.
It would not be millions of dollars because people are fans of opening up.
They're fans of Anthony and Jim and they do shows and they're doing well.
And people watch those and they're interested in them.
And when Anthony and Jim get together and do each other's shows, it's fantastic.
And we watch it on WAPC or Jim can't save you or whatever it is.
And so the idea that would be like, I know that Lewis Hedgoeus wanted to do that at Skank Fast,
which would be a big deal.
and people at Skangfest
would be excited about that
but it's not making millions of dollars
for anyone
and I love that Ryan goes
but you have to deal with racism
have you heard Anthony
or watch his show
I think Anthony
would be more interested
in talking about what happened
to Opie and Anthony
and talk about Opie
and the issues they had
over the year
like that'd be fascinating
I don't think you get into
crime statistics right away
I think there'd be other times
yeah he'd wait a little bit
yeah I'd be other times
I get into on that
did you hear what happened
And twice in this clip in the last one, Ron went out of his way to say, you can't be bought
because you have morals.
And Opie immediately negated that by saying, look, the only reason I stayed on so long
is because they gave me so much money.
If they were giving me less money, I wouldn't have done it.
Average money, he called it.
Average.
That's the opposite of what Ron just said.
Right.
And when Ron goes, you can make millions.
Opie goes, wait, millions?
Okay.
Well, now I'm listening.
Yeah, yeah.
You do the stupid over the top bullshit.
God damn it.
All right.
let's talk about ronica what's going on with that what are you going to do what are you going to
do i don't get a hundred today and you don't get a hundred oh no i have to give you a hundred
fuck no that was the deal you're saying fuck why don't you add it on top of the uh the honica ron i will
i will oh yeah people are inquiring about that of course you're getting your money these
idiots they have nothing better to do of course you're getting your money all right uh
ron doesn't believe you yeah ron does not believe you at all so that's another cop out
They have nothing better to do.
Yeah.
Yeah, that's all I do every day is consume myself
with whether or not Ron's getting his Ronica money.
Mind your own business.
Can I read to you the chat that's happening right now as they're talking?
Here's the chat.
It is, did Opie pay you the 800 yet?
Ron, if you need a lawyer to get your Ronica money,
please let me know.
Maybe give Ron the money.
This show is better when Ron came on.
Ron won't get paid.
when are you paying Ron he is shorting you Ron is this unleashed pay Ron everything we gave him
where's the money Lobowski we demand you pay Ron everything you owe him John Melendez killed his
cats those are all from you Adam I was very busy yeah you're very busy that day that's
hilarious a lot of all the counts but it's worth it's it's hilarious those are in order like I'm
not cutting any out this is all Opie and them are seeing and he is comfortable just being like
Fuck you, I don't care.
Yeah, again, like, what is he waiting for?
He's like, you're going to get the money.
What?
Why are we waiting on this?
What's the point?
I'll write you a check, but don't catch it right away.
As soon as we get the record contract, we'll give you the money.
You've heard the tapes.
They're that good.
You get the money after you leave.
This is proof that Ron really is so odd of it.
It knows nothing about radio in the Northeast.
He was five.
Who's the guy, the joky, the jack?
man.
Jackie the
name.
Oh.
You don't know anything.
I know nothing, dude.
Jokey the Jackman is a way funnier name.
Pretty good.
I got to say, if Jackie can go back and die, you might want to change that.
Tommy the alien would have said that.
Jokey the out.
Oh, yeah.
With crazy Phil.
Crazy Richard.
Yeah. With that, I think it's time that we get into the game that is
sweeping the nation that everybody loves.
Is it weird or is it gay?
What will Aaron say today?
Is it gay?
Megan, welcome to the show.
Good evening.
Yeah.
It's evening.
Yeah.
Welcome to the United States.
And Annie, good to see you as well.
Oh, hello.
It's going to be back.
Yes.
We missed you last week.
All right.
We are going to play a round of Is It Gay?
This is where we find out if Aaron Holt
calls whatever he's talking about gay
because he has no creativity and it's not a funny person
or if you find something else to say
and this is round one
date. Well, you know
you're going to get fired for that.
So Gino Bisconti lost his clarinet job.
Apparently his bottom two teeth.
Well, I mean, you can play the clarinet better.
I mean, that just shows he's committed.
Built in Reed, I guess.
Yeah, that's his, those are his, he calls those his
reading gums he's uh he had those bottom two teeth pulled so he could play clarinet better amongst
other things imagine the friction so this is him saying that de i stole his clarinet job hit the like
button is playing the clarinet gay adam super gay carl i played the oboe and i know this for a fact

Everyone's a winner so far.
That incident happened on December 27th,
but troopers did not make an arrest until New Year's Eve.
W.E.A.R.
Brent Carney.
Holy shit, this lady's putting me to sleep.
This might be the worst local news I've ever seen.
A postal worker tried to hit a kid with a truck.

Ciphyllus?
It's a little more watery after a...
What do you call that?
The thing I had done after my third...
Thesectomy?
It's not quite as goopy.
It's because you cut off all the pulp.
Now it's just the juice.
I'm no pulp orange juice at this point.
A lot of people like no pulp.
I'm no longer sausage gravy.
I'm country gravy.
If that makes it make sense to you.
This is so gay.
What's the question?
Is it gay to compare your vasectomy come to country gravy?
In my mind, that's the thing he was talking about when the entire pollicule just looked at each other.
And without speaking, we're like, we think it's time for you to leave.
Nick and I, we're just, we're all going to...
We're talking about your Stephen.
We're good.
I'm going gay.

Chris.
I think it's a setup. I'm going not gay.
It's disgusting, but not gay.
Annie.
Gay.
All right, here we go.
It does make sense, but it's just incredibly unappetizing.
Bigot on socialist media says, are the two Stevens on the
leaderboard the same guy i don't think so i don't think step i guess we've moved on all right

Still fit.
I have a basketball jersey from high school that fucking hangs off of me right now.
So I don't know what size I was then.
Well, that must have been a, that must have been a weird time.
Hulkamashababy says you never brought up running in your life.
I'm actually, my cardio is solid.
Some of you, you're going to hate that.
Some of you, it's going to make you really, and again, do not let that upset you.
Cardio I've always been very good at.
Is being good at cardio gay?
Adam.
Yeah.
Carl.
I'm going to say not gay.
Chris.
Not gay.
Annie.
I think it sounds gay.
All right.
We're split again.
But you really can't win.
Because if you tell people you're good at cardio, they'll go, oh, so you're gay.
Because that's what gay guys do?
Gay guys do cardio.
What are you a girl?
I'm always, you know, no matter.
Wow, I was a lot of gays.
Holy shit.
I was way off on that one.
And that made it a four-way tie.
A four-way tie.
Everyone has three points.
Going into the final round, the final round is a little bit different.
It's going to be a multiple choice that Meg is going to let us know after we hear the setup to this.
So anyone's game.
I tried to listen to something.
I was editing clips of the show before I went out and shoveled.
And there were channels I'm subscribed to.
And on the left side of YouTube, it shows you who's live.
I did not know that I was subscribed to Win by 2 radio.
And I'm like, holy shit, that guy's still around.
I haven't heard hide nor hair of that guy for a long time.
So I clicked on Winby 2 radio, and I don't know if I've never listened to him before or what,
but I was like, this guy's the fucking worst broadcaster I think I've ever heard in my life.
I mean, it's just, it's that, first of all, it's that really shitty, and I love Red Bar,
but it's a shitty Red Bar impression.
It's not a unique, it's not his personality.
Everything he says is just remarkably banal and,
safe. It's not an interesting
take on anything. And then repeat
yourself 15 fucking times in a
row. It's like a five-hour show
that could last about seven and a half
minutes. Like honestly, the guy was
shitting on that Carl.
And I'm like, that's like one of the easiest guys in the
world to shit on. And no shit, he
made me want to pick up the phone and text
Carl and go, look, I know you guys are reeling
from not being able to put a dent in the
toe. But I just want to say
as shitty as you may be.
Don't you wish you got that text, Carl?
I'm upsetly.
He won't text me.
I text him sometimes.
He never texts me back.
I don't understand it.
Disappointing.
All right.
How does Aaron compliment Carl comparing him to win by two's blade?
Okay.
Does Aaron think Carl is not as boring, untalented, or faggy?
Not as boring.
Untalented or Faggy
Annie
Faggy
Chris
Untalented
Carl
I think it's untalented
Adam
Hubfooted
I'm going to go with not as boring
All right, here we go
And as awful as you may be
You're not nearly as untalented as John
from Winby 2.
I fought the urge to do it.
I did play that clip on this little piggy this week.
However, I did not remember that word specifically.
So that's why I didn't take myself out.
Chris is like, I'm a cheater.
Oh, no.
I've been busted.
But you both won.
No, thank you for sharing that.
It was very funny to me that he's like, I've never watched Win by 2.
I can't be able to subscribe to it, just showed up in my thing.
And having to be talking about this guy.
One of the chances.
That he couldn't just say...
So I tuned into this win-by-two show
that we needed as an audience
because we put him on such a pedestal
that whole run-up because why would someone like him
be listening to something like that?
There'd better be a reason.
But he also had to prove
that it wasn't because he saw
the subject line by name of them.
No, it was the subscribe.
Did you hear him?
All right, you guys ready for a game?
Now, I talked to Simon.
Obviously, we gave him some notes out of air,
but I also said,
of a message and gave him some pointers about moving this things along and I have it
a long buildup for it. So I haven't listened to this obviously. Let's see, let's see how
we did. Hello again. Thanks. Thank you very much. I'm your host Simon from the worst ever
podcast and we're going to play a fun little game. I read a quote and then you guess. Is it
Opie or Ever? We have a wonderful slate of clips today so let's get started. Round one.
I know we're heading toward World War III.
I know that much, but I haven't checked out anything on the TV.
Uh, who's winning the U.S. open?
I'm going on my phone.
Hold on.
Time to register those votes.
Wow.
Yeah.
That's a tough one.
Producer Chris, what do you think?
I think it's a misdirection, so I'm going burr.
Annie, what do you think?
I think it's Opie.
Megan?
I think Burr.
God, I think it's,
I think it's Burr to.
Adam, what do you think?
I'll go Opie.
Okay.
Adam should be the expert on this.
The reason why I think it's Burr's,
I don't think Opie cares about golf.
I don't think he's ever brought it up before.
Let's see.
And here's the answer.
I know we're heading toward World War III.
I know that much,
but I haven't checked out.
anything on the TV.
Who's winning the U.S. Open?
I'm going on my phone.
And I'll look up the weather in Soda Springs, Idaho.
Let's play.
Round two.
What's that kid's movie?
You know, where the cars talk.
What is that?
Is it called cars?
Time to register those votes.
God damn.
That's really funny.
Adam, where you go with this one?
I'll go bur.
Yeah, that is a funny thing to say.
I think it's burr as well.
Anna, what do you think?
I think it's burr.
Producer Chris?
Burr.
Megan.
I'll go burr.
Everyone's going burr on this one.
Let's go.
And here's the answer.
What's that kid's movie?
You know, with a car's talk.
what is that is it called cars
what's that show jerry
Seinfeld made
is it called Jerry
let's play
round three
I mean I'm not gonna lie to you
if everybody didn't like me
I'd have to think it was something that I did
time to register those votes
oh wow
uh...
Megan what do you got for this one
I'll go Opie
Adam
Burr, sir
I'm going to go burr as well
Annie, what do you have?
I think it's Opie
Producer Chris
I went Opie
All right, let's go
And here's the answer
I mean, I'm not going to lie
If everybody didn't like me
I would have to think
That it was something that I did
Next up
Bill films a man on the toilet
Let's play
Round 4
You're
wearing a Patriots fucking t-shirt.
Time to register those votes.
Oh, that's a tough one.
Annie, what do you got?
Burr.
Producer Chris?
Burr.
I think it's Burr, too.
I know he's a big Patriots fan, Megan.
Wouldn't he not be?
Throwing up.
Throwing up at a Patriots.
shirt. I think that's the misdirect. I don't know. What do you think, Megan? I'll just go
Opie. Okay. Adam? I'm going Opie. All right. We had two Opie's and three burrs.
And here's the answer. You're wearing a Patriots fucking T-shirt. Let's keep it PG.
All right. Another F-5. Yeah, that was that was well played. Megan went with her gut on that one. Good job.
let's play
the final round round five
oh what are the scores right now
I know I'm making you work
feverishly over here
yeah I quit
I keep moving the order and shit
to make it very different
Adam once again
has all of them right
probably because he studies
these two assholes
okay
and the rest doesn't matter
all right Adam's in the lead
he can win it with this
I'm not on Photoshop
I'm not on Instagram
it's not Photoshop
what's the other one
There's Instagram, and then there's the other one.
Snapchat.
Time to register those votes.
All right, I'll go first.
It's got to be Bill Burr.
I'm going to go Belper.
What do you think, Megan?
I agree.
I think it's Burr.
Adam?
I'll go Burr.
And Annie?
I think it's helping.
Producer Chris.
And I went Burr.
All right.
So Annie has a chance, I think, to possibly tie it up.
If it's Burr, Adam wins.
I don't think so.
Okay.
Well, then Adam wins.
Yeah, Adam's.
And here's the answer.
I'm not on Photoshop.
I'm not on Instagram.
It's not Photoshop.
What's the other one?
It's Instagram.
And then there's the other one.
Snapchat.
Follow Bill on Facebook.
There's no prize this week because there was a rumor about me on the internet.
Drive safely and join us next time.
On
Don't be or forever.
Simon from the worst ever saying goodbye.
That's a good sign of.
Excellent job, Simon.
Thank you very much for pulling that together for us.
That's a fun game.
And Adam swept it again.
Yeah, he's kind of a prick, isn't he?
Yeah, a little bit.
I got to rethink a lot of life decisions.
You're getting really good at things that people should not be good at.
Nope.
No, they should not.
Let me show you this real quick because I just popped this.
in from my email.
Thank you, Hellraiser, for sending this over.
So underneath the comments,
the reality to this is if Cardiff would have said
Chad Zumach, both Jim and Godfrey,
would have said, we love Chad,
because real working headliners think I'm funny,
instead a guy who hides behind a potato filter.
Who think I'm funny instead, a guy,
Jesus Christ, Jesus.
Does anyone please laugh?
Does anyone proofread their shit before they put?
how was he hiding behind a potato filter on a phone call we didn't even announce what his name was or anything he just said you're a thin skin loser they both agreed you shouldn't do that because i'm never offended i'm never mad
uh very well done producer chris i didn't realize you had a chadboard still yeah over there that's fantastic i know that we do have uh this
thank you please clap i i i think you're going to hit that fair enough
Um, this fucking paikman's a real fucking painkment.
You got me there.
Megan, I know that you like to check in on Spotify comments.
People can go on Spotify and comment on individual episodes.
Of course, this is an audio podcast.
Those of us on YouTube, go ahead and subscribe wherever you get your podcast, Spotify or
anywhere else.
And it shows up every Thursday and Sunday.
We have any new comments you want to read for us.
We do.
I have a couple I wanted to read from episode 687.
Um, this one's from Lange.
Lance. This episode influenced me to join the Patreon and to remedy this little stinker
ranking injustice. Please forward my funds to Megan.
Oh, well, that's how you get read. But also, thank you for our Patreon. Patreon.com slash
who are these podcasts, two bonus episodes every month. We appreciate it.
I have another one from that episode. This was the best episode in a while. Thank you,
mean Doug for coming on and reminding everyone what the show is supposed to be rather than
the twice weekly highlights of certain lull cows, most of which I stopped caring about
hearing about a long, uh, long ago that it has become.
It's not all that positive, but I'm glad they enjoyed that episode.
Fair enough.
My least favorite compliment, we've talked about this with Dick Madison back in the day.
This was the best episode of the while.
It's like such a fucking backhanded compliment.
but like,
okay.
We'll do better.
You put it in mind.
That's all.
I appreciate it.
You seemed like you were having a lot of fun on that one.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I have one more from our episode last week on New Year's Eve,
episode 688.
Anthony destroying the opi or bird game by pointing out the swearing is so fucking funny.
Yes.
Yeah.
He got us all with that.
And then it turns out.
Opie has dropped us about fun so yeah no longer a tell in this but uh fantastic any do we have
any new reviews you can read for us yes you can leave a review on apple podcasts or you can edit the
one you already left such as cranberry electric coming in saying Emily was right Emily world
order one star for you Carly Pooh Annie darling please do the above in your finest Jamaican accent
thank you don't read this part now
I would have not read that part and done what he asked, except it's a one-star review.
Yeah.
That's right.
I'm holding them hostage now.
If you want me to do stupid bits, five-star review.
Thank you.
That is the rules.
And the other one comes in.
Can I address the Emily thing?
Please do.
Yes.
This Emily is wild.
So she called in to be dabbling live, I think, recently.
It was a few weeks ago.
And I brought her up on this show.
year or two ago, and she sent me a bunch of messages.
She's convinced Opie has all these sock accounts on Reddit, and she analyzes them, and
she thinks that Opie's communicating a lot of things behind the scenes through these sock
accounts, and she even references a Twitter account that she thinks is Opie's wife, because
it uses Opie's wife's name as the Twitter account, even though it's only tweeted twice and
has zero followers.
And both those tweets are things that are very personal that you would tweet out.
And Emily thinks that I'm suppressing this information and trying to make her look foolish.
Does Emily think you're communicating with Hannibal Lecter through the Bwant ads?
She hasn't brought that up yet.
But I wouldn't be shocked if that's what happened next.
She's got a lot of theories.
She thinks that I'm gatekeeping what's really going on.
No, we can say it right here.
It's an account called Lil Chan that talks exactly like Opie.
So much like Opie that you're like, this is probably someone trying.
to pretend to be Opie.
There's no way of knowing.
They only defend Opie,
but it's like they speak in a super chat,
super tip way of,
it's all quotes.
It's all what you'd expect.
What are you talking about?
Exactly.
J.T. says Emily World Order.
He's very much team.
Emily.
J.T.
Yeah, this is a controversial topic.
I just decided to touch the third rail.
On that one.
All right, Annie, what do you got next for us?
The other one comes in from why Carl isn't
funny. The title is wonderful, and it says, Doug stinks, Carl stinks, but Chris Rules.
Good morning. Sounds like a five start. Awesome. Thank you very much for that. Guys, keep leaving
those reviews or updating your reviews. It definitely helps us with the algorithm. There's other
places you can review it's besides Apple, right? Isn't there another place that you find reviews coming in?
Yeah, most podcast reviewers have like a little review section. So if you got a podcast attic, pocket cast,
You know, there's a bunch of ones where you can leave a review.
The great agent Coleman puts them all in a spreadsheet, and I can see all those other ones.
I don't have to look for them manually.
So we appreciate that.
Coleman.
And before I get to our voicemail segment, I want to ask Annie, if you have anything you want to promote.
Yes, I want to promote Echo Pineapple.
Go follow Echle Pineapple.
That's Echle Pineapple, change the E at the end to a three.
Yes, Echle Pineapple, who is asking to come on WTP.
get him on for a segment sometime soon, you know, if it's, if it weren't for that, uh, pesky time
zone thing, be a lot easier, but I think we'll be able to figure it out. And he just did a great
appearance on his show. Excellent. We'll, we'll check very much. We will check that out. Adam,
anything you're promoting, my friend. If, um, anybody's interested in going to see a major motion picture,
this new, uh, Shalamee project. Yeah. Has some things we'd all be interested in, I think. His, uh,
boss at the shoe store is played by Larry Ratzow Sloman, who if you like Bob Dylan or Howard Stern,
you know he co-wrote private parts and Miss America. And the customer in the first major scene of
this film is Marianne from Brooklyn. Isn't that wild? Mary from Brooklyn's in this major most
impetus here. And she's amazing. She's really, really good. It's a one-on-one scene with both of them.
She plays a character named Marianne. And she does great. It's really awesome.
Bronx, right, yeah.
Uh-huh.
And friend of the show, Ted Williams, who is in the introduction to W-A-T-P and was in the Detroit show.
W-A-T-P.
It's hoping for that.
The Golden Voice, Ted Williams, is in this movie.
Shut the fuck up.
Got it.
It's amazing.
So please check out Marty Supreme with Tim Shalame.
Is it a good movie on top of all those things?
Eh, it's okay.
Marion for Brooklyn's great.
Oh, good, okay.
You can watch.
that. We have some voicemails.
This comes in as the
Gary and San Diego
voicemail segment, the rock and roll
voicemails. It's a bunch of crap.
Swing in a mix.
Rock and rolla.
My speech therapist called back in.
Hey, Chomper's speech therapist here. I just heard your
feedback on an amazing rendition of
3D print your vagina.
All right, you want some speech therapy advice?
Across doesn't have a T
on the end.
across
you sound like a dummy
I know
it's a bit of stretch
I've only heard you say it
twice in the hole
it's not exactly
you know
exactly
but across
not across
love you
love the show
uh
have blind might call me back
all right
we'll do
are speech
they're supposed to call you out
you don't pronounce words
correctly
yeah the good ones
I think that's the job done
that's true
that is how I worried
I liked this voice now
hey
I've just been having a really rough day, so I don't know.
I'm trying to blow up a little steam.
Vinny's a fat piece of shit.
He's an ugly fucking block-headed fucking wop, fat piece of shit,
and his mom's obviously a fucking whore.
With a last name like Paulino,
and he looks like a fat, sweetest turd.
Your mom's a whore.
You're a fat retard.
Show's been great lately, Carl.
I'll keep it to good word.
Later.
Great voice,
Mel, sir.
Perfect.
All right.
Okay, okay.
I get it.
Roddy from Syracuse calling in.
With a good point, by the way,
we were bringing this up today
about Opie getting fired from Sirius.
Hey, Carl, and no shoulders, Chris.
Ronnie and Syracuse.
Love you guys, love the show.
I wanted to make a clarification
about why Opie got fired from XM.
There wasn't so much that he filmed
Rowland, taking a shit in the office
bathroom, that he mocked him relentlessly showing the video to coworkers and letting Roland know
that he showed it to other people because he's such a piece of shit.
It was so egregious, and after he let Roland know that other people saw it, Roland went
to human resources.
So it's not just that he filmed him in the bathroom.
Don't call me back.
That is a good point.
I never talk about that part.
Thank you for the clarification.
This is a funny voicemail.
You guys just kind of glazed over it, but Suthering John in Paris is a hilarious premise.
Fucking, I'm too drunk to do an impression.
So I was just doing an opi impression instead.
Why are you talking about?
I'm too drunk to even do that.
Sounds like he's doing a Sutter and John impression.
God damn it.
All right.
Have a good one.
All right.
The reason why I thought that was funny is that came in at 5.30 on Sunday, Eastern time.
I mean, this person's area code is in Virginia, so it's a very drug at 5.30 in the afternoon.
You sure was in Suttering, John?
So remember how Dr. Steve sent that litter box to John Mullend's, he was complaining about cleaning the litter?
And John was like, yeah, but it's a whole thing.
So it's still got to clean it.
It's a, well, this person has one of those.
calling for WATP, man, John is a fucking asshole, but that's not news.
I have a couple of those robot litters, and they're not cheap, man.
I got the top model.
Ooh, use rackets and cash back, like 20%.
But it was like $700, man.
It was not fucking cheap.
And, yeah, man, that thing's awesome.
You fucking just fill it up, and, yeah, it's like you have to empty it out,
but it goes into a bag, you fucking retard.
Jesus Christ, man, this fucking guy, I swear to God.
All right, see you, boys.
Yeah, those things rule.
It's so obnoxious that Steve would spend $700
on John and John would still be like,
yeah, but he wore a T-shirt, and then the dice game.
They used to be indoor cats.
Now they're outdoor cats, you dumb fuck.
Oh, my gosh.
And one of the cats just went missing.
Didn't he admit that this week?
The one of the cats is just missing?
They went to the underworld.
That's not good.
Hey, Carl, I don't know if you know this, but the guy that stood in front of the tank in Tiananum Square, that was actually John Melendez.
I have the photos.
I can prove it.
I can send you the photos.
You guys can check it out.
It's crazy.
Producer Chris, call me back.
So we saw that John was obviously on tough crowd next to Patrice O'Neill, but I didn't realize he's in so many other places.
Yeah, hey, Carl, I just found another one.
You know, the picture of the men eating their lunch?
on the steel beam up on a high skyscraper in New York City.
One of those guys is John Melendous.
It's crazy.
Again, I have the photos.
I can prove it.
Chris, give me a call back.
All right.
Get off my back.
It's amazing.
This is a long one.
I might cut early, but I agree with this collar.
Hey, Carl.
Mr. Bush and Sir San's shoulders.
I'm proposing.
supposing that, if at all possible, can we implement something much to the same as the Tampa Accords, but for Gino and Hianu?
Yes.
To be the most miserable, disgusting people in this entire universe is absolutely insane.
So I think you guys should implement.
nobody covers them nobody gives them attention maybe call it the dixon of cords and every time somebody
thinks about covering them you just cover pat dixon because he's the one that did the one thing
that gino needs all and nobody else has it didn't fix gino unfortunately but uh yeah i know i do find
them insufferable tuki is bringing back gatekeeping yes i liked that i liked that announcement last
night we can't there's too many people in the dabalverse we got to start shutting some of these
people out
Tommy Jordan show
I don't know what the fuck he's up to
over there
he has Matt Mead and Scarlett
and they're arguing
and then he's like taking people off the screen
I know on paper it sounds like a good idea
but
Jesus Christ
He get dizzy watching it
Yeah
and are we all over watching
I know too you said this last time
are we all over watching Scarlethampton now
can we be done with with that saga
I watch her a little more
I like some of her work
She's kind of interesting
So I'm watching her on podcast, Adam is like Spikowski
That's cool
I mean if she wants to pretend to be someone's sister
Then sure I'll watch for 20 or 30 minutes
But speaking to Matt Mane
Carl D-Lux
I'm curious what you guys think
Usually Adam and Chris are like the psychological side
from that need, do you think his uncontrolled anger comes from, A, growing up in an orphanage,
B, getting repeatedly dumped by kind of like weird mid-type girls, or the fact that he has
a micropenus, which of those do you think makes him the most angry? Thanks.
That's interesting, because he did admit to being adopted on Kevin's show recently.
and I haven't heard a lot of glowing reviews from Scarlett
about their sex life, even though he asks her for it.
But we should be careful about this.
Allegedly has a micro penis.
YouTube terms of service.
This is just what we hear from the girls he stage.
That's right, allegedly.
Maybe we can get Kate Meena to talk about that.
What a show, huh?
She doesn't get people in trouble.
that that whole saga with um carmick getting involved and then carmick was going to date her
that they were going to be at hackamania carmick and scar uh it's uh it's a weird time to be
the dabble verse i think i'm with toki i think i'm out yeah he's right i think i'm tapping out
we had a good run let me get my stuff it was fun let me get my stuff i got to go buy i got to go
got to go. I got to go. I got to
go.
Okay, bye.
Go fuck yourselves.
Have a good week.
Ah, Carl. I love you.
Bye, Brennan.
All right. Ready to roll the credits?
Yep. All right, guys.
Bye. Until next time.
Bye.
I got to go. Bye.
Man, that was a good episode.
That was a good episode.
I enjoyed that.
I'm virile.
I'm horning and I'm cool.
That's my favorite quote ever.
I haven't to catch that one of the wild.
I usually watch them.
I'm virul.
I'm horny.
And I'm cool.
Hey, he nailed the rules of three.
That's true.
