Who Are These Podcasts? - Ep690 - Bill & Nia Burr, Opie & Ron, StutJo & Roommate, Howard Returns

Episode Date: January 8, 2026

We 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.  Support us, get bonus episodes, and watch live every Saturday and Wednesday: ⁠http://bit.ly/watp-patreon⁠ ⁠https://watp.supercast.tech/⁠ Come to Hackamania!

Starting point is 00:03:01 talking about jim norton can't save you with chad zumox good buddy godfrey bill burr is celebrating over a month 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.
Starting point is 00:03:33 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.
Starting point is 00:04:09 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?
Starting point is 00:04:31 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.
Starting point is 00:04:54 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
Starting point is 00:05:16 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.
Starting point is 00:05:41 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
Starting point is 00:06:01 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
Starting point is 00:06:16 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
Starting point is 00:06:31 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
Starting point is 00:06:46 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?
Starting point is 00:06:59 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.
Starting point is 00:07:18 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?
Starting point is 00:07:41 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
Starting point is 00:07:56 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
Starting point is 00:08:12 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.
Starting point is 00:08:27 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.
Starting point is 00:08:40 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
Starting point is 00:08:57 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
Starting point is 00:09:37 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
Starting point is 00:09:57 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
Starting point is 00:10:11 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.
Starting point is 00:10:43 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.
Starting point is 00:11:11 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
Starting point is 00:11:54 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.
Starting point is 00:12:36 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
Starting point is 00:13:09 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
Starting point is 00:13:24 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
Starting point is 00:13:38 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
Starting point is 00:14:21 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
Starting point is 00:15:08 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
Starting point is 00:15:54 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.
Starting point is 00:16:14 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.
Starting point is 00:16:35 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.
Starting point is 00:16:45 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
Starting point is 00:17:15 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.
Starting point is 00:18:06 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.
Starting point is 00:18:16 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.
Starting point is 00:18:27 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.
Starting point is 00:18:50 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
Starting point is 00:19:10 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.
Starting point is 00:19:26 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.
Starting point is 00:20:00 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.
Starting point is 00:20:22 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.
Starting point is 00:20:40 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,
Starting point is 00:20:54 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
Starting point is 00:21:22 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.
Starting point is 00:21:53 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.
Starting point is 00:22:12 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.
Starting point is 00:22:27 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,
Starting point is 00:22:37 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.
Starting point is 00:22:50 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.
Starting point is 00:22:58 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
Starting point is 00:23:38 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.
Starting point is 00:24:06 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%
Starting point is 00:24:22 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?
Starting point is 00:24:35 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.
Starting point is 00:24:50 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.
Starting point is 00:25:04 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.
Starting point is 00:25:14 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.
Starting point is 00:25:26 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 Comes in from Trevor
Starting point is 00:25:59 And Trevor is a fan Of the Bonfire and the Rags A couple of shows That Robert Kelly is on Now Robert Kelly If you're an O&A fan You know very well He was a regular
Starting point is 00:26:12 He's a stand-up comic And of course he did Take over on the Bonfire With Big J. O'Cerson And what Trevor said was I happen to notice a post Come across my Facebook page From yesterday from Robert Kelly
Starting point is 00:26:26 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
Starting point is 00:26:44 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
Starting point is 00:27:14 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.
Starting point is 00:27:43 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,
Starting point is 00:28:02 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.
Starting point is 00:28:16 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
Starting point is 00:28:36 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.
Starting point is 00:29:02 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
Starting point is 00:29:23 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
Starting point is 00:29:33 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.
Starting point is 00:29:46 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.
Starting point is 00:30:06 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
Starting point is 00:30:21 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.
Starting point is 00:30:36 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.
Starting point is 00:30:52 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.
Starting point is 00:31:08 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?
Starting point is 00:31:28 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.
Starting point is 00:31:41 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.
Starting point is 00:32:17 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.
Starting point is 00:32:40 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.
Starting point is 00:33:02 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.
Starting point is 00:33:14 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.
Starting point is 00:33:34 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.
Starting point is 00:33:55 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?
Starting point is 00:34:13 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.
Starting point is 00:34:30 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?
Starting point is 00:34:56 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.
Starting point is 00:35:17 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.
Starting point is 00:35:45 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.
Starting point is 00:36:03 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.
Starting point is 00:36:27 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.
Starting point is 00:36:40 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.
Starting point is 00:37:04 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,
Starting point is 00:37:17 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
Starting point is 00:37:45 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
Starting point is 00:38:01 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
Starting point is 00:38:36 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.
Starting point is 00:39:14 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.
Starting point is 00:39:34 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.
Starting point is 00:39:54 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
Starting point is 00:40:08 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
Starting point is 00:40:22 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.
Starting point is 00:40:34 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.
Starting point is 00:40:53 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?
Starting point is 00:41:04 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.
Starting point is 00:41:23 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.
Starting point is 00:41:31 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.
Starting point is 00:41:54 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
Starting point is 00:42:06 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?
Starting point is 00:42:24 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.
Starting point is 00:42:40 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.
Starting point is 00:42:57 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
Starting point is 00:43:34 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.
Starting point is 00:43:51 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.
Starting point is 00:44:04 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.
Starting point is 00:44:37 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.
Starting point is 00:44:55 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
Starting point is 00:45:09 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.
Starting point is 00:45:26 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
Starting point is 00:45:38 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
Starting point is 00:45:47 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
Starting point is 00:45:57 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.
Starting point is 00:46:11 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
Starting point is 00:46:30 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
Starting point is 00:46:41 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
Starting point is 00:46:53 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
Starting point is 00:47:09 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
Starting point is 00:47:26 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.
Starting point is 00:47:37 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.
Starting point is 00:47:54 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?
Starting point is 00:48:27 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.
Starting point is 00:48:42 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.
Starting point is 00:49:08 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
Starting point is 00:49:28 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.
Starting point is 00:50:05 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?
Starting point is 00:50:28 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.
Starting point is 00:50:43 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.
Starting point is 00:51:02 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?
Starting point is 00:51:27 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
Starting point is 00:51:55 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.
Starting point is 00:52:28 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.
Starting point is 00:52:43 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
Starting point is 00:52:53 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
Starting point is 00:53:16 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.
Starting point is 00:53:47 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?
Starting point is 00:54:06 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.
Starting point is 00:54:20 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.
Starting point is 00:54:38 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
Starting point is 00:54:58 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.
Starting point is 00:55:17 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.
Starting point is 00:55:40 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.
Starting point is 00:56:00 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
Starting point is 00:56:27 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
Starting point is 00:56:54 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.
Starting point is 00:57:11 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.
Starting point is 00:57:48 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.
Starting point is 00:58:03 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.
Starting point is 00:58:14 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.
Starting point is 00:58:52 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.
Starting point is 00:59:17 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.
Starting point is 00:59:34 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?
Starting point is 01:00:09 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...
Starting point is 01:00:27 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.
Starting point is 01:00:42 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...
Starting point is 01:01:18 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.
Starting point is 01:01:27 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.
Starting point is 01:01:46 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.
Starting point is 01:01:58 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.
Starting point is 01:02:09 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.
Starting point is 01:02:24 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,
Starting point is 01:02:42 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.
Starting point is 01:03:04 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.
Starting point is 01:03:18 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.
Starting point is 01:03:31 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.
Starting point is 01:03:47 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.
Starting point is 01:04:02 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.
Starting point is 01:04:35 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
Starting point is 01:05:13 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.
Starting point is 01:05:36 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
Starting point is 01:05:54 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
Starting point is 01:06:08 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.
Starting point is 01:06:32 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
Starting point is 01:06:47 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,
Starting point is 01:07:04 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.
Starting point is 01:07:34 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.
Starting point is 01:07:51 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.
Starting point is 01:08:09 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.
Starting point is 01:08:38 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.
Starting point is 01:09:06 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
Starting point is 01:09:25 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
Starting point is 01:09:40 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.
Starting point is 01:09:50 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.
Starting point is 01:10:08 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.
Starting point is 01:10:27 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.
Starting point is 01:10:49 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.
Starting point is 01:11:03 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
Starting point is 01:11:23 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
Starting point is 01:11:39 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?
Starting point is 01:12:01 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
Starting point is 01:12:19 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
Starting point is 01:12:31 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
Starting point is 01:13:08 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.
Starting point is 01:13:24 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
Starting point is 01:13:48 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
Starting point is 01:14:16 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
Starting point is 01:14:36 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
Starting point is 01:15:20 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.
Starting point is 01:15:37 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.
Starting point is 01:15:58 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
Starting point is 01:16:32 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
Starting point is 01:17:10 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
Starting point is 01:17:28 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
Starting point is 01:17:42 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
Starting point is 01:17:55 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
Starting point is 01:18:08 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
Starting point is 01:18:22 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
Starting point is 01:18:33 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
Starting point is 01:18:48 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
Starting point is 01:19:05 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,
Starting point is 01:19:22 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
Starting point is 01:19:41 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.
Starting point is 01:20:02 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?
Starting point is 01:20:36 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.
Starting point is 01:20:54 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
Starting point is 01:21:07 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
Starting point is 01:21:26 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.
Starting point is 01:21:42 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.
Starting point is 01:22:02 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.
Starting point is 01:22:17 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,
Starting point is 01:22:32 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
Starting point is 01:22:42 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,
Starting point is 01:22:53 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
Starting point is 01:23:09 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
Starting point is 01:23:34 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.
Starting point is 01:24:38 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.
Starting point is 01:24:57 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.
Starting point is 01:25:21 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.
Starting point is 01:25:37 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?
Starting point is 01:25:52 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.
Starting point is 01:26:04 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.
Starting point is 01:26:19 And Ava's instincts are, oh, people are beating up on you, Keanu. That's, that's too bad. Oh, shut up. shut up.
Starting point is 01:26:28 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.
Starting point is 01:26:44 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.
Starting point is 01:27:01 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.
Starting point is 01:27:17 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.
Starting point is 01:27:32 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.
Starting point is 01:27:52 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.
Starting point is 01:28:26 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.
Starting point is 01:28:46 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.
Starting point is 01:29:08 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.
Starting point is 01:29:33 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.
Starting point is 01:29:50 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
Starting point is 01:30:24 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.
Starting point is 01:30:40 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
Starting point is 01:31:03 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,
Starting point is 01:31:29 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?
Starting point is 01:31:43 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.
Starting point is 01:32:10 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.
Starting point is 01:32:29 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.
Starting point is 01:33:08 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?
Starting point is 01:33:38 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.
Starting point is 01:33:50 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
Starting point is 01:34:06 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.
Starting point is 01:34:32 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,
Starting point is 01:34:49 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.
Starting point is 01:35:17 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
Starting point is 01:35:31 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
Starting point is 01:35:45 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.
Starting point is 01:35:56 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,
Starting point is 01:36:08 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.
Starting point is 01:36:20 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.
Starting point is 01:36:34 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.
Starting point is 01:36:53 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.
Starting point is 01:37:25 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.
Starting point is 01:37:44 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.
Starting point is 01:38:28 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
Starting point is 01:38:54 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
Starting point is 01:39:09 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,
Starting point is 01:39:47 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?
Starting point is 01:40:12 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,
Starting point is 01:40:23 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
Starting point is 01:40:31 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?
Starting point is 01:40:39 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.
Starting point is 01:40:48 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.
Starting point is 01:41:06 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.
Starting point is 01:41:36 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
Starting point is 01:42:05 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
Starting point is 01:42:25 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.
Starting point is 01:42:41 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.
Starting point is 01:42:52 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
Starting point is 01:43:07 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.
Starting point is 01:43:23 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.
Starting point is 01:43:40 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.
Starting point is 01:43:55 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.
Starting point is 01:44:11 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.
Starting point is 01:44:35 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.
Starting point is 01:44:52 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
Starting point is 01:45:19 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.
Starting point is 01:45:45 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.
Starting point is 01:46:04 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.
Starting point is 01:46:23 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.
Starting point is 01:46:53 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.
Starting point is 01:47:10 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.
Starting point is 01:47:23 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.
Starting point is 01:47:42 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.
Starting point is 01:48:00 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?
Starting point is 01:48:40 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.
Starting point is 01:48:55 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.
Starting point is 01:49:06 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.
Starting point is 01:49:33 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,
Starting point is 01:49:42 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.
Starting point is 01:49:50 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.
Starting point is 01:49:57 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
Starting point is 01:50:16 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.
Starting point is 01:50:51 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
Starting point is 01:51:16 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.
Starting point is 01:51:43 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.
Starting point is 01:51:57 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.
Starting point is 01:52:14 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,
Starting point is 01:52:29 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
Starting point is 01:52:37 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
Starting point is 01:52:47 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
Starting point is 01:52:56 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
Starting point is 01:53:05 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?
Starting point is 01:53:18 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
Starting point is 01:53:34 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.
Starting point is 01:53:45 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.
Starting point is 01:53:58 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
Starting point is 01:54:14 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
Starting point is 01:54:32 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
Starting point is 01:54:42 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.
Starting point is 01:54:54 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?
Starting point is 01:55:05 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?
Starting point is 01:55:22 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.
Starting point is 01:55:35 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.
Starting point is 01:55:50 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.
Starting point is 01:56:06 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.
Starting point is 01:56:18 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.
Starting point is 01:56:30 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?
Starting point is 01:56:43 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.
Starting point is 01:57:01 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.
Starting point is 01:57:13 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.
Starting point is 01:57:24 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?
Starting point is 01:57:36 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?
Starting point is 01:58:12 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.
Starting point is 01:58:29 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
Starting point is 01:58:52 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
Starting point is 01:59:10 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
Starting point is 01:59:19 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
Starting point is 01:59:34 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.
Starting point is 02:00:04 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.
Starting point is 02:00:23 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
Starting point is 02:00:42 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.
Starting point is 02:00:58 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.
Starting point is 02:01:11 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.
Starting point is 02:01:34 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.
Starting point is 02:01:50 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
Starting point is 02:02:08 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
Starting point is 02:02:19 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
Starting point is 02:02:29 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.
Starting point is 02:02:41 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.
Starting point is 02:03:02 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.
Starting point is 02:03:22 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.
Starting point is 02:04:20 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.
Starting point is 02:04:37 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
Starting point is 02:04:51 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
Starting point is 02:05:25 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?
Starting point is 02:05:49 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.
Starting point is 02:06:17 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
Starting point is 02:06:34 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
Starting point is 02:06:44 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
Starting point is 02:06:53 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.
Starting point is 02:07:14 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.
Starting point is 02:07:22 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
Starting point is 02:07:52 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.
Starting point is 02:08:11 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
Starting point is 02:08:37 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?
Starting point is 02:09:01 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.
Starting point is 02:09:19 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.
Starting point is 02:09:33 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.
Starting point is 02:09:50 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.
Starting point is 02:10:07 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.
Starting point is 02:10:18 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
Starting point is 02:10:35 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

Starting point is 02:12:09 This might be the worst local news I've ever seen. A postal worker tried to hit a kid with a truck. How do you make that boring? A postal worker tried to run a fucking kid over in a neighborhood and this lady is making it sound like uh miss lippie's car is green is it gay to run a kid over with a postal truck annie no that sounds pretty cool chris i'm also going cool karl i think it's worth a lot of points i'm not gay adam i'm gonna go gay just in my experience that would be a gay thing all right

Starting point is 02:13:48 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.

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.
Starting point is 02:18:02 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.
Starting point is 02:18:19 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.
Starting point is 02:18:32 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.
Starting point is 02:18:44 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.
Starting point is 02:19:11 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,
Starting point is 02:19:43 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
Starting point is 02:19:59 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.
Starting point is 02:20:15 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.
Starting point is 02:20:29 Does Aaron think Carl is not as boring, untalented, or faggy? Not as boring. Untalented or Faggy Annie Faggy Chris Untalented Carl
Starting point is 02:20:54 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.
Starting point is 02:21:12 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.
Starting point is 02:21:27 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
Starting point is 02:21:48 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.
Starting point is 02:22:01 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

Starting point is 02:23:28 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.

Starting point is 02:27:11 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.
Starting point is 02:27:27 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.
Starting point is 02:27:39 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.

Nope. No, they should not. Let me show you this real quick because I just popped this. in from my email.
Starting point is 02:28:39 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,
Starting point is 02:29:01 Jesus Christ, Jesus. Does anyone please laugh?

Starting point is 02:30:00 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
Starting point is 02:30:38 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,
Starting point is 02:31:02 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.
Starting point is 02:31:13 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
Starting point is 02:31:39 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.
Starting point is 02:32:10 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.
Starting point is 02:32:24 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
Starting point is 02:32:55 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.
Starting point is 02:33:21 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,
Starting point is 02:33:38 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.
Starting point is 02:33:49 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
Starting point is 02:34:18 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.
Starting point is 02:34:47 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,
Starting point is 02:35:22 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.
Starting point is 02:35:57 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.
Starting point is 02:36:17 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
Starting point is 02:36:31 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.
Starting point is 02:36:49 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
Starting point is 02:37:01 twice in the hole it's not exactly you know exactly but across not across love you love the show
Starting point is 02:37:08 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
Starting point is 02:37:16 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.
Starting point is 02:37:30 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.
Starting point is 02:37:52 I'll keep it to good word. Later. Great voice, Mel, sir. Perfect. All right. Okay, okay. I get it.
Starting point is 02:38:03 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
Starting point is 02:38:17 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.
Starting point is 02:38:44 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.
Starting point is 02:39:08 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.
Starting point is 02:39:23 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.
Starting point is 02:40:03 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.
Starting point is 02:40:23 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.
Starting point is 02:40:42 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.
Starting point is 02:41:02 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.
Starting point is 02:41:23 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.
Starting point is 02:41:34 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.
Starting point is 02:42:15 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
Starting point is 02:42:50 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
Starting point is 02:43:03 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
Starting point is 02:43:19 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
Starting point is 02:43:39 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.
Starting point is 02:44:22 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
Starting point is 02:44:49 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.
Starting point is 02:45:19 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.
