Who Are These Podcasts? - Ep706 - Opie & Ron Returns! Boyd Tinsley, Stuttering John, Bill Burr

Episode Date: March 5, 2026

Boyd Tinsley was the violin player and founding member of the Dave Matthews Band. There was a sexual scandal that led to Boyd’s departure from the band and things have fallen off big time since. Dude can’t complete a sentence. But worse, he invented a new percussion instrument that is really just a piece of furniture and he plays it with zero rhythm on Instagram everyday.  Bill Burr explains that corporations are evil and just do anything for money, forgetting that his LLC just took money from the Saudi government. Stuttering John is trying to gaslight everyone into thinking his performance at Rodney’s was legendary. Thankfully for John, he can always find an idiot who needs attention that will agree with him. This time it’s Two Dollar Dan’s turn. Opie is back and explains why he took most of February off from streaming. Ron the Waiter returned to his stream Wednesday morning to pretend he was at Rodney's with Anthony on Friday night. These guys are both pretending they know nothing about the Stuttering John standup show until they can't help themselves and reveal they know everything about it. We finish up with Megan and Annie playing “Is It Gay?” and “Opie or Burr.” Support us, get bonus episodes, and watch live every Saturday and Wednesday: ⁠http://bit.ly/watp-patreon⁠ ⁠https://watp.supercast.tech/⁠ Come to Hackamania!

What's cool about that is I post the audio of all the stuff that I. do outside of who are these podcasts. For example, I go on Drew Lane show every other week. Yesterday I was on Drew Lane show.

And we were breaking down, obviously, John's show on Friday in New York. But also, Sophia Franklin. Do you remember Sophia with an F? Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's been a minute. Well, she was on Color Daddy with Alex Cooper. And then when they were going to be signed for big bucks at Barstool, Sophia fucked up and was trying to hold out.

And they're like, we don't need you. and now Ellis Cooper makes $100 million a year, has deals with like NBC covering Olympic coverage and like doing all this crazy shit. You know, she had that interview with Kamala Harris. She's like this legit broadcaster. And Sophia gets 1,500 views per video that she puts out on her YouTube page.

So Sophia has written a tell all book. Oh. It's been six years since the breakup between her, and Alex Cooper. What's it called? I fucked up. It's called Daddy Issues. It should be called I fucked up.

The worst part is she's promoting it. Oh, there's a couple of things that are very funny. Anyway, you'll hear all of this. If you go to Patreon.com slash who are these podcasts, I break down the whole thing. The book doesn't come out until November. And she's promoting the hell out of it. Like, hey guys, you could give me money now and pre-order it.

No, thanks. Probably not. But the other funny thing that she says to promote it, she goes, no, it's called daddy issues. and I actually do have dad issues, both of my real dad and my stepfather. Oh, great. Can't wait to read this book. Oh, literal Sophia.

Yeah, I mean, the only time I want to grow with daddy issues when I'm in the mood for anal. It's not necessarily what I want to read about. All right. That got nothing from producer Chris. Hackamania 3. It's coming up. Well, it might be a little early, but I'm co-writing a book with Kevin, your former co-host called Why Do I Podcasts? That'll be out next year.

Coming up on the show today, Bill Burr, Suttering John, opi, his returns is it gay, the opi or burr gay, blah, blah, blah, but first.

God, I miss Croh so much. It's a very exciting episode, guys. Just you have to trust me on that one. Indeed. There's a podcast called Lights Go Down with Stephen Harrison. And back in 2022, February of 2022, Stephen Harrison wasn't there.

Right? They had a fill-in guest. And the fill-in, well, the film and host, Ryan Goodrich, brought in a very interesting character that you might know as the violinist from the Dave Matthews band. Now, full confession,

I've been to many Dave Matthew band shows back when this guy Boyd was in the band because I was dating a girl who was obsessed with Dave Matthews. Yeah, we don't need excuses. Just you saw the shows. You loved it.

That's all we need to know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I remember when this happened where all of a sudden he was just out of the band. And you tell the story. There were allegations. Was there criminal charges, a lawsuit?

What happened at him? He was with the band in Charlottesville, Virginia, from when they played small clubs to stadiums. an original member, and at the height of their powers, he announced he was stepping down to the unknown health issues. The next day, sexual allegations came out, and the band officially fired him. Okay.

So he knew that was coming, tried to get out in front of it. I'm guessing. And that was, what, settled out of court or something? That's what happened. So he didn't actually, there weren't any criminal charges or anything like that. Yeah, he settled out of court from some former musician and has been keeping a very low profile in Charlottesville,

Charlottlesville, Virginia, where this podcast is, that's why this guy had access to him. Yeah, because he's, yeah, no one's really heard a lot from him. I guess he has a social media presence. He does. But we'll get into that in a little bit. I have to tell you, and I don't know how familiar you are with Dave Matthews band, but like I said, I've seen their act a lot. And I always thought this guy was the weakest link.

I agree. Okay. It seemed like every violin solo was five notes going up and down. and back and forth. He didn't really have a lot of creativity. I would call his playing style as athletic. Yeah. Right, right. Like he's very aggressive. Yeah, right. Things are moving. But the same kind of notes over and over again. Meanwhile, they have one of the greatest drummers in music behind them. So,

and thank you. That was the one I would do when I would go to these cats is I would just stare at the drummer because he's fucking amazing. Insane. So Boyd Tinsley, did I say his name yet? Boyd Tinsley is the violin. That's the name. He's the guest, formerly of the Dave Matthews Band. walk us through what this podcast is. Let's get some clips started here. For those joining us on this, what day is it? It is Tuesday.

It is Tuesday. It is Tuesday. It's really good to have on none other than Mr. Boyd Tinsley. Yes, sir. Hello. What the heck out in Charlottesville? What the hell?

So they're all just super high? I guess. Yeah, okay. They're outside. I think there's a campfire. There's definitely no microphones. There's a third guy. No need to tell us who that is.

We don't know. And they're all just talking over each other. it says hello and they can't stop laughing. It might be popcorn. They might be making popcorn. Is that what it is? No, definitely not. It's probably a campfire.

It's very distracting. So, um, why? Does an interview start at some point? What's what happens next? It's never really starts or stops. It's, um, if, like, listen, if you're not a big Dave Matthews fan, then this is not the episode for you. But if you are a big Dave Matthews fan, this is also not the episode for you, because there's

nothing in there. It's just terrible. The first question he asks is about the song Ants Marching, a big hit for them. That's the song to sum up living around here, man. It's really cool to be out here doing this man because I've listened to your stuff for a while, not just

in the group that a lot of people know you from working with Dave. Can I interrupt you for one second? Yeah. You have to a good start. Ants Marching, you say. I've never heard the song and I learned nothing from that clip. You've definitely heard ants marching.

I'll fight you. Okay. I also don't play that. It's not going to guitar. It doesn't matter. I date of the girl. Be, wait a minute, morning. Hope it was worth it, Carl.

Take these trenches. All right, where else are you guys? And they will talk about ants marching and you will learn absolutely nothing about it. Boyd right there, cutting off the host is the best thing he does the entire episode. he goes on to explain why he's going to be the worst podcast guest ever. You have to forgive me. I just sort of have a habit of just sort of rambling on and going from subject to subject. I had, I had no, it was like there was a main road.

And then I kept, like, taking, like, little turns here and there until I'm lost, you know. I have no idea where I started, you know. I just kept going, though. Oh, my God. Imagine being in a band with this guy. If they're like, hey, by the way, I think Boyd is going to be in some trouble for sexual assault allegations. Like, thank God, can we get another violinist, please? This guy's so annoying.

What's great about it is they never got another violinist. That's true. They didn't replace him, did they? They're like, yeah, we don't actually need that instrument in this band? It was an accidental, good move. Yeah. Works out well. It's like your worst nightmare of taking one day off work and then finding out that you're completely replaceable and not needed.

And if you want to see an example of his circuitous way of talking, he finally addresses how he did the solo for Ants Marchant. And, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was, it was like the last day. And my wife was there with me. Baby girl, Abby, at that time, she was there. And they were actually in the car with the car running, waiting for me, why I was recording the solo to Ants March. Who fucking cares?

Did you choose a skill or a mode? How big her her tits? Yes. Were you going anywhere? What was happening? What's happening here? This is another great anecdote about ants marching on number six. six right there.

Number six. There's a point, maybe it's between Seths or something like that they'll introduce like a bunch of people. They'll call your name up, you stand up and wave and shit. But then they'll play like ants marching. You know what I mean? And it's

at the U.S. Open and shit. And it's fucking, it's really fucking cool, man. And it's just like, what a fucking honor. U.S. Open? Yep. Okay. Yep.

He would go to the U.S. Open, and sometimes they'd play the song, and he'd stand up and wave. Probably not recently, though, right? Nothing is recent for him. Everything he talks about is from 10 years ago. Yeah. That's crazy. And he still says, we, it's really kind of sad. I could see why he would stand out at the U.S. Open.

Huh, why is that? Because it was height? The dress? What are you saying? He is tall. Does he bring the fiddle? Is that what you're saying? No, no, I don't think he has the fiddle with him.

I just think a lot of white people enjoy tennis. I was going to say this sounds like white people nervously talking to a black dude at the bar that's annex to him. Yeah. They're just, they got the nervous laughter. Everything's fucking funny that he says. Like, well, I guess everything I say is funny. Yeah, no one just goes, hey, retard, four a sentence. Yeah.

Because you don't say that to black people, you know? He's got to be polite. It's not often enough. No. Well, Boyd has an interesting tact. He goes lower than them. Like, they lower the bar to giggly fool, and he's like, I can out. Watch this.

I'll stutter and stammer on top of that. And this next This next bit is what you always call a phone call, not a podcast. They're still around. You know, I mean, I play at Miller. Is that still around? Yeah.

Play there with this guitar player and Harry Faulkner. Yeah. Yeah. You know what's crazy enough about him is that he was a teacher at AlbuMorrow when I was there. Holy shit.

And I heard through my mom Because she worked in the school system at a tech school in Charlottesville that's, they're still there today, at K-Tech. Oh, yeah, yeah, was cool. Yeah, I mean, you got to realize that you're recording a podcast episode when you start going off on anecdotes like that. It's for no one. Yeah, no one could possibly care about it. And if you check out number nine, Boyd finally, finally reveals some Dave Matthews Band secrets. where the

there's a restaurant called the Eastern Standard down the mall and then it has changed a few names and I don't know what it is now

but it's as it's toward where the ice skating rink used to be yeah and it was down there and that's where like D&B we would like play there like every

I don't know Tuesday or whatever oh shit oh shit Tuesday? Oh my God. Can't even imagine. Are you an ice skating rink?

Wow. You want to know what Boyd Tinsley is watching on TV? I sure do. Now there's like so much stuff to like to watch and stuff, you know. You know, but back then it's like we watched the same shit. You know, everybody from, you know, they grew up in that generation. That's so crazy. We watched the same stuff, the same TV.

shows, you know, and say Dallas, motherfucker. Say Dallas. You know what you want to. I've never heard that before. There used to be fewer channels, fewer options for entertainment. No one's ever brought that up before. Interesting. He's got some hot takes. Especially on politics, he says with everything going so poorly, he knows for a fact that things in the world are getting better with number 11.

Encouraging things like some voices that I have heard negative in the past, more recently, I've heard very positive. And I won't mention any. Sure, sure. But, but, um, but well known. And, and I, I, that is, that's huge. That is huge. That's, that's, you know, exactly.

Because I'm there that big of a platform. It's like that's big. Exactly, man. What? Why upload this? Why did someone choose to upload this? Who would want to listen to it? I'm guessing they're hoping one day I would find it.

Yeah, you did. So here we are. And by the way, there is a payoff for this. There's a reason why Adam is very interested in Boyd and what he's up to these days. Because let's just say he's not playing fiddle in another giant band. That's not the career trajectory that he's taken. No, he has taken glory dazing into a whole other level. Things have gone a little south for him.

Now, even Boyd knows that this conversation is going on and on and on, and he very clearly tries to end it right here. But that's, that's, that's, that's what's, that's what's up now and though. Oh, no, please go on. So that's what's up. You didn't say anything. What do you mean? I didn't know what's up.

That's what we're trying to figure out over here. They go on for another hour. Fuck. How long is this episode? It's too long. Don't be so specific. Until the camp player dies out. Even then they're still going.

There's like a fox that starts howling and then a coyote and they start getting worried, but they won't leave. Jesus Christ. Do they get mauled? That would be a great ending. I wish it was that good. Number 13 is an example of why it goes on for so long because they get each other. It's going to be a process, you know. It's almost like sometimes you just go.

too far and he realized fuck we've gone too far right and then it's like you know you you come back and you know reset it's like okay let let let let us put our feet back on the ground is it all yeah absolutely

the same thing of supply and demand that's what we wake up to exactly what you get it you get it you know supply and demand you know exactly I can have principles that's what I'm talking about your macro economics. Come on. What?

It's like when your girlfriend is stop right there. Testing you to see if you're still listening. Yeah. Right. Oh, supply and demand? Really? Really? Boyd gets it.

He tries to end it very, very clearly right here. You know, but, but yeah, man, it's, it, it's been a really, really, really cool, interesting. I'm with a grateful dad would say what a long, strange trip has been. And that's about as well as I can sum it up myself. Yeah, well said. It's not well said. No. No, but that is the producers in the booth giving him the wrapping up side.

Like, all right, we got it. Carls are flashing the light. Yeah, flashed in the way to Gino in the back. And some idiots going strats. You need more. I read more of this. So it does end there though, right? Adam goes on for another 40 minutes.

Jesus Christ. And there's nothing to be learned about the Dave Matthews band or about him or his life or any of these people we're speaking to. Okay. So what is this show? Because I'm looking at the logo of it and it's a guy with a third eye on his forehead smoking a joint. So is this like one of these shows where they're supposed to be like out there, man? I don't know. I think he's a local comedian in Charlottesville who has access to the comedy club who

reviews most of the comics that come in and out of there when he can. I think most say no. Right. So this is their Vinnie Paulino. Okay. Exactly right. I got it. Now it's all making sense.

There was only one comedian I recognized in the entire list if you want to jump to number 28. Maybe you can guess who it is. Different trials and his career and all the stuff that he became known for, you know, like Stutter and John and Bobabooie and just like iconic. hilarious shit, but you've been, I mean, you're a veteran in stand-up. You've been doing that for years, so you're your

own thing. It's not like you're just known through him. Yeah, thank God. You know what I mean? Because, look at it as an opportunity to to make my business bigger, like comedy. I know that voice. I was hanging out with him on Friday. Reverend

Bob Levy. Reverend Bob Levy. Shows up on the show. Surprise he found some time for them. That's great. kidding Bob kidding um all right where do you want to head to next i know boyd has a social media presence that you're very interested in he does he's been basically existing off cameos and local gigs and i'm assuming he gets a hefty percentage of the publishing right if he's a founding member and he's writing the licks that he's playing and stuff i would imagine he's making some publishing

royalties. Yeah, I think he's in on the original group of guys publishing. So he's probably making between half a million to a million a year in passive income doing nothing. And when you're living in Charlottesville by yourself and you have sexual allegations and a ton of money, it's not going to end well. And I'll tell you right now he is not doing well because we went to his Instagram account and found something a little disturbing. He announced he's no longer playing the fiddle. And he's. He's only going to play exclusively an instrument that he invented called The Box. Do you want to show us a clip of him playing the Box on 15? Okay. Yeah, let's see what this new instrument that he invented. Remember, this is a violinist. Let's see what he's got. I'm sorry, Adam.

He's slapping a piece of furniture. You said that he invented an instrument? Where do we see that? What does that come into the frame? It's called the Box, but he put a Z at the end of box. So I guess that's his now. But it looks like, I don't know, a shelving unit or something. It's definitely like a dresser.

He's just slapping with the back of his hand. Yeah, with one hand. Not rhythmically either. Well, that's his take on classical music. Maybe if we hear him playing something else, it'll sound a little better. Maybe. Is that him with Barack Obama, the photo in the background? Correct.

Nice. Maybe it's the kind of music he's playing. Maybe if we're not listening to classical and he's playing. Was this better than that one instrumental that I missed last night? It's what it was great last night. Dude, why does he have that other music playing at all? Right, yeah, it doesn't make any sense. What are you talking? He's playing to it.

Oh, you think so? Absolutely. You're not listening hard enough. Oh, okay, I listen harder. We've got another track out of here. Yeah, try 16. Try 16. Okay.

You can stop it right there. Okay, there's something very funny that's happening right here. Because there's an overhead mic. Like, he's got like PA speakers in there. I think he, is he like tracking this? Is this going to be a take for the new album? that's coming out? Why is there an overhead? What's going on? I don't know what's going on, but it is hours of just this, and he plays that way to every song. And each one of these

clips is a minute long. It never stops. This is all he's been doing for the last couple years is hitting that box. And if you noticed, he can't move his other arm. Yeah. Yeah, was he like a stroke victim or something? He's like, half of his body doesn't work. When a fiddle player announced they're no longer playing the violin for no reason, Yeah, there's something bad happened probably. It's not good. Where do we go from here? What is this?

What does he think he's doing? There's a cahone. That's an actual instrument that you sit on, you hit with your hands. It makes a snare and it kicks out. This is a dresser drawer. Right, yeah. He didn't invent this. I doubt he even built it.

It's probably picked up on the side of the road. He got to be resourceful. But Dave Matthews fans are apparently tolerant of a lot of you know, esoteric jamming. Do you want to see what maybe some of the comments are saying on 18? Yeah. Dude, this is, is this comments too? Any of the comments you could pull up, yeah.

Okay. Because Dave Matthews is such a big band with such a loyal following. I got to imagine there's tons of people who are still following this guy and, you know, wanting to support him, right? Where can I purchase this box? Please reach out. We're here for you. We care about.

you more than you realize much love. Okay, thanks, Danny Beth. I'd say it's your strongest work so far. Good job, Jay. I'm the man playing in the box. All right, I get that one. That's fun. What if he's being held hostage?

Very possible based on what we're seeing here. Honestly, better than anything from the last two albums. Some people are not fans of what Dave's been doing lately, I guess. I like the part where you went tapy, tapy, tap. Howley writes, concerning every single time. I feel like Boyd needs an inpatient avail. Yes. Boyd Tinsley on the cabinet.

On the cabinley on the cabinet, oh. That's funny. At least people are having fun with it. Better videos than Dave walks for sure. Then the Dave walks. Boyd, my friend, this doesn't look great overall, and I have watched you be great. I bet you get a hoot from this, but as a performance art, it just looks like you're tapping at a wall nonsensically.

Yeah. Yeah. Hey, Boyd, I'm your neighbor. We're trying to sleep. Your neighbor. That's very funny. Love you, Boyd. This doesn't seem right, man.

We want to see play violin. Well, yeah. I mean, it's actually pretty good. Have any of you critics tried doing what he's doing in the box? That's a good point. For some reason, I can only focus on the frame photo of Boyd and Obama in the background. Yes, glory days, I believe, is what that is called. If Dave was doing this, no one on here would have a problem with it.

Oh, there's a defender, apparently. Every video and song is exactly the same. It's like slapping with no seat beat, with no set beat. I don't know why I read that completely wrong. Because I saw the A in the first word, it doesn't matter. What's going on with this left arm? People are concerned about that. I was going on this right arm.

The art is actually doing so. Let's go out with that. Steve Norris was raised. Jesus. I mean, I thought watching old episodes of the Howard Stern show and watching your best moments on it were really, really sad. Never in my wildest dreams would something like this be going on alone in John's apartment. Like, this is dark.

He's listening to old Dave Matthews songs and tapping on a box with one end for hours on end and then posting it. He was performing. in football stadiums all the time I don't know if you know this but when he used to go to the U.S. Open they used to play ants marching

and he would wave I did actually hear about that somewhere let's take a look at his Instagram page so if you go to BT underscore DMB season desist Jesus Christ

I'm Dave I'm like no no no no you can't do that So he's got, oh, only 23,000 followers. I guess because his stuff sucks. I guess that's probably why. Well, there's also those pesky sexual allegations that. Yeah. Yeah, that would do it.

I like Down with Disease. It's a fish song, right? Yeah, it is. He sure does. Oh, let's hear that. Probably be good. This is all been wonderful. Now my, hold on, I'm trying to.

Stop, stop, stop. Oh, is that where that one? I couldn't even tell where they were the song. on that part. Jesus Christ. It's not good. What's the Jimmy thing? That's a Dave and Matthews band song.

Oh, right, right, right, right. This is insane. So this was just posted today. Yeah, yeah, just hours ago. And this is just, his entire page is just full of these things. We're just slapping on this box. Oh, at least he's got some retro things when he was on stage playing at a real instrument, too. So that's good.

Wow. All right, well, maybe he'll get the help that he needs. I think we did a lot of good here today. And I think we'll... I think we'll be building awareness. That's what we're doing. Yeah, it's very important. We hope you do well.

We're praying for you, Boyd-Tinsley. Mm-hmm. All right. Anything else you want to talk about with Boyd? No, except Mark Norman agreed to do that podcast for only a half hour. And I listened to it, and it was kind of funny. So there was nothing there. Mark Norman is always great.

Yeah, that's it. That's all we got. We'll check in on you the next time we're in Charlottesville. Sounds good. So that was a light to go down with Stephen Harrison, and we heard almost none of that on this show. But we appreciate you checking in on musician Boyd. All right, I'm going to play this.

I have not looked at it yet. But for some reason, I trust Adam to give us our... Grinch of the week. Grinch of the week. Is there any setup necessary for... for this. Okay, so there was a man named Jeffrey Epstein. And he, like, okay, you've caught up on that. Bill Clinton is doing his deposition, which is what Nick DiPaolo's been waiting for, so he can make his statement as soon as Bill makes his.

That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Going to give his. So this is Bill's going to give his, and this is just a 50-second clip of him answering questions that I think is pretty remarkable. that Epstein said you quote like them young why would Epstein say that about you are you asking his opinion I'm asking him to think about why Mr. Epstein would say something about him why would Epstein say that about president you try to be in Mr. Epstein's mind and guess at what Mr. Epstein would have thought about first of all he likes them young referring to girls first of all that's not true what's not true any interest in underage. I didn't say underage.

I said, I said young. Yeah. But it's still not true. Is an intern young? Yeah. Yes. Okay. Anybody younger than I.

He lets young girls even more with their fat. Is that real? Was any of that real? Well, things real. That whole thing's real right there? Yeah. Holy shit. That's, that's real.

really said that and he was really looking over at his lawyer like nailed it yes that's what I love I guess you thought it was a trick question is an intern young yes I just like you just like no nobody likes younger girls no of course not that's really stupid why would you say that uh because it's a universal truth you told me this is going to be hard what are the hard questions come what's next watching Rob Saul because you ask a man an innocent question and they reveal so much unintentionally when they're lying hashtag Rod Saul Army

What is underage these days? Am I right people? We just said young. What are you doing? All right. Well, we got to get some more spicy hot takes from Bill Burr who follows the news

but not really because he doesn't care about it. But he's interested in it to talk about it at a very high surface level that does nothing for anyone. And I imagine that Billy's weighing in on this Iran conflict. I'm just glad to have an opinion like his weighing on on such a timely subject. You see all these people, you know, jumping around saying freedom fries.

And nobody's like looking at themselves going, is it me or is this not the stupidest piece of propaganda I've ever seen in my life? They're not French fries anymore. They're freedom fries. and they're all sitting there smiling like they just made a great joke. Like the whole thing. And everyone is just completely devoid of any sort of like human emotion.

Why is he bringing a freedom fries? That was, that's not a thing. Nope. It's not a thing in the Iran war, is it? Nope. But maybe you just wanted to throw in that funny voice. I mean, it's hilarious. hilarious.

You do that. I don't know what he's talking about. I really don't. It's like there's this one big truth he can't mention in his own life. So everything else just sounds insincere because he has to like avoid things that remind him of that. And that happens, it's really on display in this next one. I told you guys my water supply fucking theory that every business passed a certain level,

there's no good people left because you get to a certain level in all business where you're asked to pour something in the water supply that isn't good for the people. This is a metaphor, right? and all the decent people go, no, I'm not doing that. I couldn't do that. I couldn't live with myself if I did that. And then there's the other people that, oh, fuck it, I'll do it. And then that's what happens.

First of all, hilarious. No, it's very funny. Give them that. How much money do you have to make that you start feeding people poison? And then as always, they'll put it on you. Well, you need to, like, be conscious of what you're putting in your body. How can I do that when I have to work all these hours? just to fucking keep my head above water.

Well, you know, you got to figure it out. You got to make, you have to make healthy choices. You got to make healthy choices. It's like, well, why isn't the food healthy? Why is it on me to try? I'm not a chemist. I don't know what's in this shit. I've lost the metaphor now.

Is it actually poisoning food? What is he talking about now? Because I thought at first it was corporations doing bad things that are bad for society because of the profit motivation. But now I feel like he's talking about like actually, having poison and food. It's bad for you. I know I'm easily confused, but I am lost.

I'm lost on this one. Well, he's saying that when businesses grow, they can get so big that they're just evil by definition. And they're always going to have to cut corners and compromise in some way. Bill is a corporation. He is North Hill Productions. He is an LLC.

It has grown very, very big from a small town in Boston to stadiums, this corporation. And now he's, making decisions that are within his own best interests and saying, fuck you, I don't have to explain it to you. I don't have to explain to you why I do business with who I do. And if some people die in the process of that,

if they're killing people and some journalists, that's fine. Bill, no one's asking him to be the chemist telling me what to eat. But in terms of freedom of speech and who we get paid to speak for, that would be your area. That would be your domain. And I don't know why he doesn't see that. So you're thinking that, you know, being the head of this company.

and making decisions where you take like, I don't know, blood money for a show that you do. For example. Yeah, just, you know, a random example. Whatever you can. Yeah, I'm just throwing that out there. You think that maybe that is similar to what he's complaining about here. And I wonder, what's the size company? I always wonder about this when people rail against corporations.

So, like, we need corporations to build cars. If we didn't have them, we wouldn't have mass-produced automobiles. And I like having an automobile. It gets me places. Are all of those companies too big? Is Tesla? Is Ford? Is Honda?

Are these all evil corporations? What's the cutoff point? I don't know what the cutoff point is. The cutoff point is whoever is making slightly more than you at any given time. Oh, yeah. I fucking hate those people. Exactly.

Well, that makes sense that. Now I get it. You know, stuttering John looks at Kevin Brennan, and he's like, if I was making Kevin Brennan money, then I'd be paying Keanu. Exactly. Yeah. There was a time when he was.

making Kevin Brennan money and he didn't pay anyone. Not even his wife. No. For the kids. It's important the kids. Good point. So Bill has been like a lot, like our friend, Mr. Brendan Schaub, now that he's home more obsessed with his kids athleticism.

And Bill's been talking about how he spends most of the day coaching them on baseball and on football. And of course, his kids are athletic overachievers. Yeah, they're half black. Of course. They're throwing spirals. They're hitting home runs. out to the roof. He has to get down, and this is so satisfying for him. So I was confused as to why

he posted this clip of another father and son on his Instagram. Soft in the beat. Remember, when we first start off, first start out, we'll go nice and soft. See how daddy put some air under that, put some air under it. There you. Now, good way, good feet. Now, good good good good. Good boy. How old is this kid like, Two? Yeah. That's awesome. He's amazing. He's awesome. That was a pick right there. Backhand. Nice job, bud. Wow.

Now, come through it. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Good play. Good feet, kid. Good job. You catch me. Yep. Good job. Now, both hands. Yeah, stay with it. That's good, bud. It's right off your chest. You pull stuff with your hand. It's incredible. It's incredible. That's not right.

Yep. Now, fair hand. Fair hand. You got to go. Nice. Now, Okay, why is he posting this? Why is he post? Because he wishes that was his son. Is that the message?

I think so. That's wild. And there's no commentary or anything. It's just showing that this other dad as a son is probably going to be a major league baseball player someday. It's just a passive aggressive message to his kids to get their shit together. Yeah. Instead of complaining about, you know, Kevin's dad lets him go out. at night with his friends. It's the kid complaining. You know, Billy's dad doesn't post

shit on Instagram saying how shitty I am at sports, you know. Who's got a different dad? Your parents are posting other successful podcasters from Rochester. If they can find one, they will. If we come to March 2nd, Bill Burr, it's really starting to hit close to home with him talking about Saudi Arabia without talking about Saudi Arabia. Okay. All you know is what you've been told or what you were allowed to read. So I have no idea what's going on. So I listened to the bullshit here.

And then I read the bullshit on Al Jazeer. And then I fucking watched some bullshit on fucking BBC. And then what you know what you do is you take all of that shit? You water it all together and you throw it over your shoulder. And you go downstairs, you make a grilled cheese sandwich. And he just enjoy the hell out of it, knowing full well that whatever's going on over there is eventually going to be here. Good advice. He's handling it very well.

So at least you get your grilled cheese in. It's true. Wasn't it on the last episode that we watched where he was with Conan that he was screaming at us that we had to do our own research and we had to get on a plane and we had to go to Saudi Arabia and we had to see what was happening for ourselves? You're racist until you start traveling. Yeah, like all sorts of things like that. And I was saying, like, just bury your head in the sand and make a sandwich. Yeah. Okay.

I don't understand what changed. I think a lot has changed since that code of appearance. That was just a nuke to his career the way he handled that. Check out his advice for the holidays. Okay. So you just try to enjoy your life while these sociopaths run it into the ground. And evidently, Jesus is going to come. continue laying on an L-shaped couch and he's not coming back.

What is that dude waiting for? Cool. Opie. Exactly. Yeah, we're going to get to Opie's hot takes on religion coming up later on, but that's pretty good stuff, Bill. It's interchangeable. This is like very, and same thing with Boyd, these very, very basic average takes that have no thought behind them. Does Bill have interest?

He does. He's, like, passionate about football and hockey and stuff. I see him... Drums. Drums. Oh, yeah, precaution. When he talks about that stuff, he really gets into it. But when he talks about these things, he just sounds like so bored and disinterested in it's like, well, you didn't bring it up.

I don't talk about. It's not something I'm interested in talking about. Thank you. Right. It's that easy. There's another way Bill could have handled this entire situation with Riyadh. There was another way that he could approach this. The opposite of what he did is the other way.

That would be it. That would be it. Do you want to see an example of this? that? I do. Okay, so Gabriel Fluffy Iglesias, the comedian, was just awarded his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, which you do have to pay for yourself, by the way.

This is a clip from his speech yesterday. My agent, Matt Blake, Matt has a book means around the planet, and yes, yes, he booked me in Saudi Arabia. I don't care. Yeah, I bought a house with that money. I don't care what you say. Fluffy's a sellout. Damn right, I am.

I sold out. Dodgers Stadium. And SoFi Stadium. So say hello to the sellout. All right. This is an incredible moment for me. I can't. Yeah. That's how you handle that right there.

Because it's like, well, what am I going to say about this guy? You admitted to all things I want to make fun of him for. Matalika did that too when they put out the Black album. Yeah. People were like, you know, press conferences. People are saying to yourself, they're like, yeah, we sold out Madison Square Garden just last night. For the black album? Yeah.

I think of the Lode. Was it Lode? Yeah, because that's when everyone turned on them. People turned on them at the Black album, for sure. That was on board. But Lode. Yeah, I liked it. But Lode was, yeah.

Things got real bad at that point. You imagine if Fluffy was like, I could explain it to you, but not now. Right. I wish I could explain it to you. If only I could. If only I was allowed to explain to you, why I'm such a sell-out prick. Oh, Bill. Oh, Bill.

He handles everything wrong. We used to love them in a root for him over here. I think everybody did. One plus one equals more of the greatest stories. Hulu on Disney Plus. Stories about our survivors. Watched school. The most dangerous planet.

Family. Retribution. Murder. Prophecy. Beer and propane. Bally Miller. Blake Panta. The ultimate soldier.

Chicago. All right. The best of the best stories now with even more from Hulu. Amazing. Have it all with. Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything. Like packing a spare stick. I like to be prepared.

That's why I remember 988, Canada's suicide crisis helpline. It's good to know, just in case. Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder anytime. 988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in Canada. All right, let's get into it. Let's talk about Sittering John. It's cool. Can I get a little sympathy?

It's cool. Because I got a bloody ass. It's pretty cool. You probably know this by now that the Dabbleverse made the New York Post. Yeah. The New York Post, I have it right here, did a page six article about John's podcast or his live show at Rodney's in New York City last Friday. And it's not complimentary to John Bolton. Melendez, by any means.

But for John being mentioned is all that matters. So he pulled it up on his show so that he could read this to us. We're told. Former Howard Stern sidekick, stuttering John Melendez, was booked to play Rodney's on the Upper East Side. But former Opium Anthony, Jack Anthony Pocky Cochumia, who has a decade long beef with Melendez. Oops, he fucked up.

I said his name. Whoopsy. And he doesn't correct that. It isn't long beef. It isn't bold. So it's hard not to read Anthony's name on there. Told listeners, many part of a stern world subculture that call itself the Dabbleverse dedicated to tormenting, stuttering John, that he planned to attend.

The promise of a runnin created such anticipation in the Dabalverse that its members sold out the show and even arrived early to tailgate while Davelers state media. Oh, yeah. The Alquiv. Okay. So, this is very funny because right here, this article is saying, John had a show at Rodney's and it wasn't until Anthony said,

hey, I'm going to go there and then all the Davelverse came. John didn't sell out Rodney's. I was on Husey show on Monday. And that guy, Dan, from Nice Podcast Stupid, he's like, you got to hire John for Hackamania. It's like, no, no. John wasn't the

draw. It was the idea that the dabbleverse was going to show up and be a dabbleverse event that made it fun. And by God, it was fun. It was very fun. And it worked on me. I was watching Kumia. Vinny had reached out to me on Thursday. He's like, hey, you want to go? I'm like, eh. And I don't

watch Kumia and I'm like, the FOMO set in. Yeah. I'm like, Vinny, I'm in. And he said, I'm out. Yeah, I know. Vinny was supposed to go. He had his ticket and everything. His stupid mom. Vinny had a hotel room. He had the ticket. And we talked running the creep off on Monday. Instead,

Vinnie did a corporate gig that he got fired from. Which was amazing. That way through his sense. So, smart move, Vinny. Sorry, where were we? The show and even arrived early to tailgate while Davela state media. Oh, yeah,

the Uncle podcast. Covered the things as it were a U.S. around summit, really. I mean, yeah. So he doesn't want to give any credit to Uncle Rico show, and I'm surprised he even read that. Me too. On his show just now.

So he's like, I mean, it's funny how that's written. Dabble versus State Media, the Uncle Rico podcast covered it. And so John has to dismiss that by saying this. On Summit, really, I mean, you have the dwarf covered it, Tommy Jordan covered it. I mean, everybody covered it. Oh, okay. But also, the Uncle Rico show was covering it. And everyone was watching live for updates from Z.

Zan and stuff. So yeah. Tommy Jordan covered it. It's been settled. Right. And a perhaps ill-conceived plan to mess with Kumi. And not really ill-conceived, but okay, I don't care. I'm going to skip his routine instead, and instead read a police report from Kumbia's 2015

domestic violence arrest. A few pages in with the crowd chanting and banging, a showgoer snatched the papers from Melendez's hands. The comic walked out after 10 minutes. Amid the carnival Melinda's hatred that ensued. We're told Pocky got into it with a guest and had the disgust of a matter with the cops.

And apparently they shook on it and ended as pals. Bullshit, they shook on it. Yeah, but the ill-conceived reading of the police report is accurate. He didn't say, yeah, that part, they got right. All the parts that make me look like a victim are true. Right. Ended as pals. In fact, C.J. Brown, if you want to come on, come on.

C.J. Brown's not a good guy. I like that, you know, Kevin Brennan and Senator John's like, oh, this guy ran up to Kumi and said some bullshit. I like that guy. Yeah, watch some of the other videos that he's in. See some N-Bobbs getting thrown around. You got to get a lawyer. You can make a lot of money. You can make a lot of money.

But this is the best. Take it from me. Yeah. But anyone knows about suing for a lot of money. It's, well, no, not John, not John at all. For me, is that what do they say? Melendez skipped his routine and instead read a police report from Pocky's 2015 domestic violence arrest. So again, that's what I wanted to do.

So what John is doing now is recreating history. So now he's saying the reason why he did that is so that anytime anyone ever talks about this event, they'll have to be reminded of Anthony's domestic violence arrest. So that was all pre-planned from the beginning. That's what John decided to do. He said, just today I was watching a show. And someone told him that it wasn't a great performance when he did on Friday night. And he says, nope, that was vintage stuttering John.

Vintage stuttering John. Vintage. How great that was. Antique. And I was saying that Anthony was angry. I was there. He was putting his fists up triumphantly as people were chanting his name. Anger was not in emotion he was feeling that night at all.

But yeah, now he's declaring total victory over this. And he's also lying because I was on Chulley's show Sunday night. And we were talking to the owner of Rodney's. And the owner's pissed because John only did 10 minutes. And so the staff couldn't settle their check. and people were like walking out of there without paying and tipping and stuff like that. And it's fucked up for John to just walk out after a 10-minute performance. And so now John is pretending that this is all Tommy Jordan's fault for snagging the papers out of his hand

because there was a thing he was going to do after that. The one thing I know that, Keanu saying that there was no second act, can on no offense. I love you, but. you have no idea what I was going to do next. You don't. I never told you. So John literally went on his show and said it didn't matter that he grabbed the things.

I didn't think I'd get that far through it anyway. And I was fine to just leave. But now because the other kid around said, yeah, it's fucked up. He only did 10 minutes and, you know, we had all these issues with that. Now he's saying, oh, no, no, no, I had a whole plan for a second thing I was going to do. But then Tommy Jordan stole my. He had the lyrics to DMCA. Right.

Maybe he was going to sing DMCA to get the whole crowd. doing it with um it was only the documentary pages number one through five correct we've seen them there was nothing else written on there what is he talking about he just why couldn't he could just do it he's just yeah he's totally making this up and i never planned on telling you there was going to be a second act doom was right and thank you doom for your support school there was going to be a second act but Tommy Jordan took that away from y'all

I was planning to stay in that stage for 20 to 30 minutes unless that happened oh how convenient bullshit this is completely made up this is I mean and it takes him so long to come up with these things too so he's already done a bunch of shows not saying any of us and now it's just like why another 30 minutes actually he really protested yeah oh I know yeah he's like

oh fuck This is a golden opportunity for me to get the fuck out of here. Unless I was assaulted. That was a thing. He's like, all right, but here's the deal. I'll do 35 minutes. It's in his rider. Unless I'm assaulted within 10 minutes.

Then I'm going to get out of there. And Mark Yousaf, listen to me. I don't give a frog's fat ass if you say I'm banned from your club. Because you know what? I don't want to perform in your club. when I can't feel safe when you allow your security to fucking take me

on tripods no less on tripads tripads I've always wanted to try pads so now because Mark the owner went on and said John was a professional and he kind of fucked us over and it was the worst night they'd ever had

for their staff at that show, even though it was packed. It was jam-packed in there. And there was some partying going on. But Mark's not happy with John. And so now John has to go on the offensive and start fighting with a comedy club owner, which is always a smart thing to do when you're a comedian.

Oh, yeah. Yeah. Good stuff. And Mark, Yusuf, listen, man, you better shut the fuck up about me. You understand? Because you didn't protect me. You let people walk up.

on the state. You let Pocky walk on a goddamn stage. Yeah, that was actually really smart. Anthony was by far the most famous and talented person in that building, so it's pretty good to have him up on the stage. Before me,

to say now, welcome the person we all hate. Oh, yeah. Now I'm going to go and be a clown. I'm funny. I'm going to amuse them. What's amazing about this is, John, I don't know if you doesn't realize this or there's some kind of disconnect here.

This is what his life is. Is being a clown for our amusement. He lets saliva fall out of his mouth. He gets hammered, drunk, and does a six-hour live stream. Like, all of the stuff that he does is to get money to come in because he's embarrassing himself. And we're like, hey, can you do that live? And he's like, what do you think I am?

They have to share monkey? Like, yes, dance monkey. You have your pants shitting monkey. Yes, yes. You're the one who shits your pants on the show. and then someone gives you five bucks and tells you your kids don't like you. Like that's, yeah, that's what this is. If he's lucky five.

Does he think the Duke of the Future is entertaining people? No, no, no. We're all just clowning this guy and laughing. We just wanted to do that live. That's all. After that intro, are you with me, Mark, and you let a guy walk on stage and assault me and steal my property? Okay, this is a whole thing now. Listen to this. So now John is talking about pressing charges against Tommy Jordan. I think he wants to sue the guy probably. He doesn't know the difference. You know, he doesn't know between criminal and civil, so it's very confusing. But now he's going to try to make a case for himself that he actually had property stolen from him. I know. It's so stupid. He's so dumb.

Walk on stage and assault me and steal my property. I was going to sell those pages. I was going to sell those pages. Damages. He thought, yep, he thought he was going to sign those printup on eBay. And everyone was going to be like, are those the pages from February 27th, 2026 at Rodney's? And that's when the bidding goes insane.

Yes. And you're framed. I'm kind of confused. Is he the reigning champion? Or is he the poor victim? Which one is it? He's having a real hard time navigating those two roads. And he always does.

Yep. Because, yeah, he's acting like he was assaulted by Tommy Jordan. But after that it happened, he's like, I didn't give a fuck. I was ready to get the hell out of there anyway. And prior to that, he's a tough guy. Right. Yeah, he was trying to fight Stevie Lou outside, but now he's scared and people are coming at him. Had it going out there saying, I'm not allowed in your club.

You should be out there apologizing for. to me. You better change your tune, bitch. John's not allowed here anymore. I just sold out your club.

Uh, correction. Anthony sold out the club. You had 16 tickets sold earlier that week. And you gave me no protection. And you know, Mark, you had a guy

fall down your stairs because they were slippery. Oh, here we go. Yep, he's just looking for every angle possible. And you know, Why else this guy's a jerk?

Because someone had a mishap. Concerned citizen. Yeah, okay. Do I hear what that sounded like? I'm kidding. You've got a lot of... You've got a lot of balls. Start talking shit about me.

Okay. So, John goes out in the offensive because Mark mentioned that he doesn't want him as club ever again. He was very unprofessional. And... I know your name. I know where your club is. Because I was there.

I mean, Anthony, Anthony, Anthony's in the chat. He can't possibly believe his own bullshit or can he? That is the mystery of John Melendez. This is why we study this man so closely. Because he, does he convince himself? Like, he's changed the story. Has he convinced himself the story actually did change? Because now he's bringing on Dan from Nice Podcast Stupid.

And Dan is very stupid because he's trying to, I don't know what his angle is, but he's trying to tell John that John killed it. on Friday night. And so John's loving this and brings him right on. All right. Hey, congratulations, man. John,

John Melendez, the king of New York. I know. What a fucking weekend, brother. Congratulations, man. I know. It's so easy to tell John he's awesome.

He will believe you in a heartbeat. It doesn't matter. Stop. And I don't know if Dan's playing a character. He was on for like two hours yesterday. Just kissing John's ass, telling me how amazing he is. Which, I mean, you can do that, but no one's ever going to take you seriously.

There's no, you'll have no credibility for anything you say ever. Dan and I argued with each other on Husey show on Monday night. And his takes are so weak. Anyone who watched anything that happened on Friday night would tell you that John was humiliated. It did not go well for him. And Dan's on here going, dude, you fucking killed it. And I couldn't believe how well you did. I got to hand it to you, brother.

I didn't know how you were going to pull it off. but I think he did. I really do think you did. I do too. I mean... All right. So is Dan playing a character? Is he a dumb guy?

What do you think, Adam? Is this the guy from Vegas? No. Oh, wait. I don't know where he is. Is this the win by two guy? No, that Blade, no, this isn't... I don't know where Blade what?

I heard that he's like gone off the internet since the Vegas thing. No, this is a $2. $2.00, Dan, he goes by from Nice Podcast Stupid. Okay. They're pretty interchangeable. Yeah, I thought it was the same person. I don't think he likes you. And I think that's pretty much what it's about.

That's what it comes down to is that he's just happy. Well, he's just trying to pump up John because John's, you know, my enemy, quote, unquote, in this dumb world. Because this is how you know that Dan's being disingenuous here. On the back page of all of these sheets of paper, it said, Pockumentary. Yeah. That was the big joke because it's about Pocky, of course. the woman they didn't even let me get the subcutting girl.

Dan, they didn't even let me get the subcutting girl because that was going to be one of my That wasn't a documentary? Yes, a documentary. Did you like that? Yeah,

I like that. That was great. That was a nice touch. Yeah, that was great. That was really funny. Good stuff. Who wrote that for him?

He, so, Ava. So Dan claims that it was a victory. This is what he told me when I was on Hughesy show with him on Monday. He goes, John made $2,500 for 10 minutes of work.

how much would you need for your dignity to stay intact? Because for me it's a lot more than $2,900. I don't see how that's a good victory for John to be humiliated like that. If he made that. No, he didn't make that much. But whatever, it doesn't even matter what dollar amount that is. I would like to see Dan's background behind John. Yeah.

We're just so stupid. Yeah. It would make a lot more sense. So they can't even figure out why this was a win for John. get very confused. You did, you did what was expected. There was no way to win. There was, it was a no win situation you made the best. Oh, I think I won. That's what I was going to say. You actually found a win where there was no win, which is like the best kind of win. No, that makes sense. Yep. Now I get it. Okay. Sure. There's a no win situation that you totally

crushed. Huh? There was a moment when he was talking to Ava recently, John, and he, they were being honest. He was like, I don't like when they make fun of me. They were going to make fun of me. No matter what I did. And this way, I could win. Well, they were booing you and making fun of you until you left the stage. That's all you were trying to avoid.

And it still happened. You could have been a comedian and also gotten booed off the stage. That, for me, would be the better case scenario than this. Because if you believe in these crimes and in this police report, then there are victims whose names you are using.

and weaponizing to hurt someone and to get an own on your supposed enemies. And that's fucked up. Oh, yeah, no, I'm sure he really cares about Danny Brand. I could tell when he was reading this, that that was his major concern. It wasn't just about trying to embarrass the guy who makes fun of him on the internet. So that's why he was crying when he left serious. He's thinking of her. Poor Danny, the victim in all of this.

If he had gone up, and I hear all these people making this argument about like, well, what was John going to do? how could he have possibly won the crowd over? And I do think there was a lot of enthusiasm for him to see him tell jokes and to do his act. But let's say he went up, did his act, and got booed off the stage just like this. He could at least make an argument that, hey, I was in a no-win situation. I went up there. I did my best. And these people just didn't want to like me.

Yeah, I did my job. That's what I was hard to do. Right. Because then you could at least say, like, yeah, I guess they're just going to boo you no matter what. But now we'll never know. now all we know is that John took the laziest path possible. Yes. Got boot off the stage and then turned that into a W somehow with this idiot Dan blowing smoke up his ass.

Which is, it's really funny that he goes on and ball washes John for two hours. No, you were amazing. You were so good. There's just no nuance to it at all. You couldn't say like, it could have been better. You know, you could have like maybe had a round. torture to you and people are chanting things or yelling out or something like that. Yeah, right.

He could slip some insults in. Yeah. Look, John, I know your kids won't talk to you nor anyone else, but you crushed it. And John would be like, well, something was said there. Yeah, you're right. I did crush it. So Dan comes on and tells John how amazing it is. And then with no sense of irony says this.

Oh, yeah, Cope and Steve session, big time for Coomia, right? Because it was supposed to be his moment. He introduced you. He's all surrounded by all the sycophants. I mean, Carl, is there a bigger ball washer out there than Carl with Coombe? Is there a bigger ball washer? I mean, you're amazing. Everything you do is fan fucking tasso.

Is there a bigger ball washer than this Carl guy? What a loser, huh? And neither of them, like, stop and go like, oh, no. I don't know. That sounded really dumb. Yeah. We probably should just gloss on that. The irony is lost on us.

Holy shit. I want a compilation of John talking to Coomia about Colombo and how they, You like it too, right? You like it, don't you? Don't you? That's some ball washing over there, John. Remember when I did the impression? You laughed at it, remember?

Yeah, we're hanging at the compound, as we always do, having fun like we do, drinking beers. The ball washing from Dan is over the top. And then right smack dab in the middle of the audience and him looking at you, you're just reading them the riot act with all this embarrassing stuff. And you know what my favorite part of it too was the way that you read it. and I'm not going to do it justice, but on the morning of August 16th, at 5 p.m., you know, it was just so, like, eloquated, perfect.

And once it started occurring to them what you were doing, they just, like, Kumiya's eyes just changed. He's like, that motherfucker, I can't believe he's doing this for me right now. I'm the ball washer. He just said John was perfect the way he read that. You mean how we couldn't hear you? Yeah, we couldn't hear him over the chanting and booing.

And the slurring, he was wasted. Yeah. And also, yeah, he wouldn't, thank you, Missy. He wouldn't even look at Anthony. Anthony said he made eye contact one time. Meanwhile, Anthony is right in the middle, right in the eye line of where John is. And instead, John's got the paper up in front of him. Yeah.

And like a child, like a child. Almost like he was scared to show his face. Why don't you show your face? What are you hiding behind? Now, John was perfect and eloquent. That's exactly what happened. Oh, this is kind of funny. so because he was performing at Rodney's formerly Danger Fields

where some legends have performed in the past he wanted to reach out to one of them. I text that to Dice. I said, you know, I said, Andrew, I'm, you know, I'm going to be at Rodney's where you became a household name. Oh, yeah. What did the, Andrew Dice Clay text you back there, John? Who is this?

Dude, it's so funny. He's like, I texted that to Dice. He gets all nervous. He never got a response, obviously, or else he would have said so. He may have never texted it. He might not have Dice's number. Current number.

It's also very possible. If he got a thumbs up, we would have heard about it. No shit. If he acknowledged his existence, we would definitely would have heard about it. So then just start talking about quitting podcasting again. So obnoxious. It's just the cycle that we go through.

And John's like, I might start teaching. I don't need this stuff. I know teaching doesn't pay a lot. But maybe I'll start. teaching and as he's talking about maybe quitting podcasting is a reason why he would do that. And that's why I'd rather people like you were saying, remember me because that was like a cult hero.

You know, and especially to the blue collar people. And I'd rather, you know, those people don't know about the dowlers. They just remember stuttering John as being this guy that had balls of steel. So John was a cult hero. This is how he remembers himself from the Howard Stern show. Or the cult screener, the stunt boy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's some good bits.

We can all acknowledge that, but a cult hero. All I'm hearing is he wants to go where people won't make fun of him. Yeah, right. And that's impossible. He only sold out a show because of the Dabellverse. It was written about in the New York Post. The reason why people showed to this was because of a thing called the Dabbleverse. John, you got nowhere to go.

When you were teaching, remember your kids. We're bullying you. That's right. They're throwing chairs out of roasting you to your face. It's so funny. There's a thing that artists have, that comedians have. It's the show must go on. No matter what, you do your act.

A comic does their act. There's no excuse for not doing it. Every time you give your stream over to playing that copyrighted song, you're just letting the trolls win. They now control your show. You're not doing it. Artists believe like Bill Burr that one time that they can turn the room. They believe it.

Even it's delusional. You wouldn't even try. Clay Dabler is turning on John Melendos, which is very funny. So Clay's talking to Avon Twitter and says, you're a demented trune that has no idea what's funny. That's why you laugh like a maniac when no one else is laughing. And stay quiet when something calls for laughter. You're a fruit loop. Hurry up and fuck off.

He also said, maybe if I got fake tits and acted like a spastic, I'd have got more respect from the Duke. So, John was very critical of Clay saying, I don't think that was the right thing to do to go up there and read Anthony's police report. And so John was like, for a while saying, fuck you, Clay, you don't understand. And defending Ava. And Clay Dabler, who's been nothing but loyal to this guy, finally is fed up. It's just like, oh, sorry to have fake tits, John. I'm sorry that you want to listen to this idiot. who might be trying to sabotage John's career.

It's very possible. That's what Ava is up to. So, Adam, you found something that's incredible. I want you to set this up for us. There's, it's been talked about before, but I don't know if people realize the weight that a blind item in crazy days and nights.com has here in Hollywood, California. It's basically a rumor mill where people could anonymously post things,

things that this lawyer will vet himself and then post where it doesn't say who it is, but they're almost always true. And especially during the Me Too movement, almost any rumor that was happening around there years later turned out to be exactly true. There have been ones about me. They are true. And everyone reads this. It's not going to have the New York Post kind of snarky tone about politics and things,

because they're not interested in that. They're only interested in artists, comedians, working professional and how they're doing. They've been covering John for a long time. They started treating him as a celebrity when he was on Amma, Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here. Then they covered him when he was at the Kardashian wedding. And then right after that, those blind items started getting darker.

You could tell me if they ended up being true or not. Okay. So we're starting with number one here. Mm-hmm. Okay. So this is a blind item. Blind item number three. September 2, 2021.

The children of this celebrity who got his start asking celebrities random questions Gonzo style for a radio show seemed to have confirmed that he was abusive to his ex, their mom. Apparently, he is also way behind on child support. Enough people guess who it is, and then they post the most popular answer right there, stuttering John Melendez, the Howard Stern Show. That's incredible. So then we see the comments underneath.

He's a Creighton, and his demise will be noticed by no one. Wow. Maybe a couple. John is generally one of the worst human beings on the planet There's a talentless miserable failure Who is widely hated by everyone he ever worked with And is rapidly drinking himself to death John may be pathetic

But Howard is now the ultimate Cuck Shill More about Howard Goes on and on Yeah yeah yeah So That's a bad thing to have written about you Oh it gets worse Check out this one from 2025

Is that number three that'll be I'm sorry you're right from 22 and number two okay it wasn't that long ago that this celebrity was on a morning radio show every day and then parlayed that into a late night gig on at the time the highest rated late night show now he drives an Uber and substitute teaches to earn a living that's hilarious so yeah that turned out to be true driving Uber and substitute teaching oh boy

All right. So a lot of people commented on that and laughing and making fun of John. Oh, look at our friend Monique from Radio Gunk is in there posting about it. It's very interesting to see real people, fans, Hollywood types, and dabblers all mixing it up and having the same feelings. Check out this next one from 25. Okay. This former radio co-host turned television sidekick turned unemployed comic was banned from yet another restaurant for being drunk and harassing customers. He was going table to table telling people he was a celebrity.

The owners have been responding to angry patrons on their Yelp. Wow. September 30th of 2025, was he in New York at this time? Or is this out in L.A.? He was doing this. I believe he was in New York. Because if you look at the first comment. Okay.

This is that tavern that he likes to go to when he's up in New York, I believe. Stuttering John Melendez and the place is the Belmont Tavern in Bloomfield, New Jersey. Yes. No shit. Brian Dunkelman from American Idol first season, good guess. They must be one hell of a drug. Yeah, everyone's guessing John Mawendez in the in the chat. That's so funny, John, getting drunk going around and telling people, he's a celebrity.

It's so embarrassing. Here's another one from 2025. December of 20. We're getting caught up to current time now. All of the children of the former comedian radio personality television host have all changed their last names from the celebrity to their stepfather. What? All of them have changed their names?

It might not be all. They might be a little off there. We don't know. But that's back in December. That's... When did we find out about this? It was this year. That's pretty wild.

Sint TV. Don't ever, ever call that idiot, a celebrity. Suttering John. Definitely Sittering John Melendez. His youngest. Oscar has changed his last name to that of his stepfather. It's definitely settering John, the buffoon. Couldn't possibly be a worse human.

Danny Bonaducci Not really a comedian or a host Wow All right They got that one right Well that brings us to the most recent Yes Blind items

Was anything to set up here I just think it's the best worded version of events This sidekick from various media formats Performed his quote Stand Up In Manhattan for the first time in a decade and was so drunk and wasted, he sat on a stool and read off pieces of paper for five minutes until one of the unruly crowd grabbed the paper and ripped it.

He left the stage with 25 minutes left of his act as the crowd was booing him. It's so accurate. That's what happened, John. That's all that's happened. A comedian has a gig. He didn't do it. He was booed and he left because he wanted to drink. Wow.

And him and Dan and Ava are all telling us that that was a big, victory for John, and he's been on cloud nine ever since. So you're not going to convince people that's what happened. No, I think John could not handle the idea of facing that crowd sober, and he knew to do an act well. He'd have to be some degree of sober. So when somebody came up with an idea that involved him doing anything that he could be drunk all day and night through, he's like, that's the move.

Yep. And that's what he did. And that's what we got. And now he's trying to justify it. And I swear to God, every time I tune into his show, I just, I'll randomly see that he's on YouTube and pop in for a few minutes. It's the only thing he's talking about. It was what a great job he did. And how he was wronged by the club and Tommy Jordan.

And it's just like, that's like, all right, we got to move on from this shot. There's got to be something else to talk about. Like Allentown, this Friday night, I have some friends who are going to that show. So if anyone wants to go down to Allentown, say hi to the guy who looks like me with less hair. We have a parody song that came in on our subreddit. Let me give credit where credit is due on this one. This is, oh, should I deleted the fucking name. I'm such an idiot.

Anyway, it's a parody song that came in our subreddit. John and Talent, John and Talent, go together like a glass and mallet. This I tell you, brothers, alone. cowl more than any other drunk and shameless he's not blameless delusional

he thinks that he's still famous wiping snot on his face and spitting yuck all over the place fuck fuck fuck your stupid lawsuits

they're an illusion Gross, ew, holy shit, what is that on? Those crispy cushions slurring, spitting, ugly age spots, I am calling for a pussy boycott, please just finally exit, you fake, tough guy, about to cry, and always taking from his mother. A little shoehorn at the end, but we appreciate that. That is from Forsaken West, 288.

Thanks for posting that up on there. Much appreciated. Very exciting news in the world of WATP, the return of our boy, Opie. All right, a little behind the scenes. So Adam pulled together a package from Opie's return on the second, which was Monday. And then I have a package from the Opie and Ron show from this morning. So I want to start off with Opie's triumphant return to streaming.

We were all wondering what was going on. He tweeted out that he's something about being able to walk again and he'll be back to streaming soon. So he went, oh, what's going on when I was talking to Anthony when we were down for John's show? Anthony brought up something about Opie being in the hospital. Like, oh, is that what's going on? Is that true? And turns out it is. Turns out Opie had an emergency and needed to go to the hospital for it and has been out of commission, as they say, for a while.

I don't know how well he explains it. But, Adam, where do you want to start off with your clips here? Well, we can start off right there with number five, where he talks about how he dealt with this sudden back pain he had. They get me on some kind of stretcher. They don't get them too shit. So they're going to hit every fucking bump out of this building. And then I'm in an ambulance. And then every bump they hit, that's going to be excruciating pain.

I would pass out from the pain, no joke. And then I get to the hospital and you know what they're going to do? They're like, well, this isn't an emergency. You just pulled out your back real bad. So we're going to put you in the hallway for the next 12 hours. So law story short, I decided to kind of rehab and try to get better on my own in the house. Hold on a second. So how is that possible that?

So the title of this episode is back from breaking my back. And then he says, well, I just kind of pulled it out. So I just rehabbed it myself and figured it out without their help. How bad could it have been then if you didn't get help from a doctor for it? he had to use every single public resource available to then decide to just go home and deal with it himself. Yeah. At hour 12, he's like, this isn't working for me.

The way he worded it was very strange. He was like, that would have hurt my back, that could have done that. But then this, I did decide to go home. He was, he never comes clear. He was stretching, and then it got a little pain. Then he just stretched too hard, and it just became the worst.

and he was bedridden for three weeks. He missed all of February. It wasn't a specific incident because he even explains, I think we have the clip coming up, but he even explains that his back was hurting on his last podcast when he did with Alex Stein, or, you know, the last live stream that he did. Yeah, what we thought was love in his eyes, it turns out, was excruciating pain. Scruciating pay, yeah. We should have read it.

We should have known. So he hasn't had a friend to talk to in a long time because his friends are the chat. The chatters. And so he's very excited when the chat shows up. I was in some pain because I had a small, just a little small back pole. And, oh, here are all the people. I was just babbling to myself. Opey, what's up?

How about a shout out? Love you, miss you. What's up, Corey? How are you? Hey, Ted Palawata. Hey. Look who shows up as a third chat out here. That's right.

TV's Adam Bush. says our long national nightmare is over Adam Bush what's going on hey Bobby what's going on oh my god I made two dollars I haven't even done anything we want Ron back Not Opie all right we'll we'll work on the Ron day I'm so happy for Opie to have his friends back again He must have been so lonely by himself in that apartment was just doggy

He doesn't say a single thing about doggy about the kids about his wife or about Anyone visiting or helping the only thing he talks about for this entire hour is the TV he watched. Yeah, that is interesting. You would think that this would be a perfect time to talk about the support you got from your family, even generically. You don't have to go into specifics. I know he doesn't like to go to specifics or anything like that. But if it's like, yeah, I mean, my wife was great through all of this.

The kids chipped in. How are they getting to school? Who's doing the trivia in the morning? What's happening? Who's waking them up? They're starving. Thank you. Yeah, they're still in bed this whole time.

Where do you want to go next? Check out number 10 and we can play everyone's favorite game show. What does Opie think of ice skating? Is it boring, lame, stupid, or gay? All right. Those are our choices. Producer Chris, you have a guess? Lame.

The ice skating is... You should have known that. I don't get ice skating. I think it's stupid. There you go. That was fun for everybody. Yep. So check this out.

He can't be happy for anyone. And the way he announces what's actually very cool news is very odd. Check out number nine. Okay. Very exciting. Very happy for my cousin. His two boys, uh, Jack and Quinn have a gold medal, bitches. So I'm very, very happy for my cousin.

That's that true? Is he related to the Hughes brothers in the NHL? I mean, his last name is he used. Is that, is that true? I don't know. Huh. I figured he would have mentioned that before. Yeah.

Right? Seriously. Ed old bitches. So I'm very, very happy for my... Didn't Jack you score the game winning goal to win the gold medal? And he plays on the devils, which is real close to where Opie lives. I personally have memorized the top 10 most famous people from his high school. Right.

Starting with Mariah Carey. doesn't mention this. But listen to how happy he is for his own family. Okay. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Bidges. So I'm very, very happy for my cousin. That was huge.

And then they went to the White House. And that Trump, that Trump knows how to take care of our national heroes, our Olympic heroes, our gold medal winners. Oh, boy. All right. Cool. Thanks for the insight or the personal tip

or anything you knew. Did you wish him? Did you congratulate it? Did you make a phone call? Did you send a text or something like that? And then Trump, am I right people? O.B's take is always just like, I mean, am I right? What?

What's your take? What do you mean? Maybe he needs a vacation. Check out number 12. Okay. Let's say hi to, uh, who's this guy? Eton. You should go to warmer weather like Cape Cape Coral.

There's a B and B I can recommend. All right. Thank you. Thanks for your $5, I guess. Is that an inside joke that I don't know about? Are you guys hitting me with inside jokes and I just sit here, read them all stupid? And then you're like, I got him, I got them. What's that an inside joke? I'll take your $5. And you have fun with the inside joke. I'll take that trade off.

$5. Inside joke. I get the fivers. And you get the little laugh on your end because I'm reading something stupid. because I don't know anything about anything out there. I avoid all of it. Okay. We're going to find out he doesn't avoid all of it. But also, I just want to point out if he's looking to rent out my house in Cape Coral, my house is built for a family, so he doesn't need that one.

There's too much space there. All those rooms, you wouldn't know what to do with that. And no dogs, I'm sorry. Yeah, yeah. There's also going to be a lot of blood and shit on the wall from the previous renter. I just want to point out that that's not true. You can rent my house. It'll be very clean when you rent my house in Cape Coral.

It's a very nice house. Are you the one who's going on my Yelpage, Adam? No, this one's kind of funny because he, Opie gets reminded, you know, there was a big event that just happened in his town the past weekend before he showed back up, and people wanted to talk to him about that. So I laid around for two weeks in a room. I had plenty of time. Opie rules, stuttering John does not.

Stuttering. You guys are still talking about stuttering John? Oh my God. Yeah, yeah, yeah, your former partner just had this big running with him. There was kind of a big deal to the New York Post and stuff. O'Ber's like, why, you get tired of a third John. He's the worst improv actor ever. He tells you exactly what he's thinking.

What is that an inside joke? Oh, so you know it's an. inside joke or you wouldn't have said that stuttering John who even is that always in the news we'll be back tomorrow right yeah he you know he follows the dabble verse because as soon he starts talking about it

and he talked about it with Ron which is amazing from this morning yeah you can tell he's paying very close attention to everything that's going on and yes he's a terrible actor when it comes to doing that I don't even know what that is not paying attention to that of time what else you want to talk about

here check out 18 and you can have something that's really great for opier-bur. Little thought. Had a lot of thoughts laying in bed for two weeks. I don't think religion was supposed to be this complicated. I think if there is a Gwad, I think Gwad would be like, this religion thing was supposed to be easy.

Easy. You guys are making it so complicated. You're fighting wars over this. It's supposed to be easy. Hot take. Hot. Super hot thing. Anthony in the chat says Ron lied to Opie about me again on his first day back.

Well, that's interesting because Ron had a lot of things to say about Anthony reaching out to him directly. So I'll have to get the inside scoop from Ant and find out. We'll play those clips. I have him coming up in just a moment. We'll find out what Ron said Anthony did. And I hear Opie's reaction to it, which Opie can't help but overreact to anything that involves Anthony Coomia. It's crazy. I mean, tell me.

I mean, tell me you're not over. Now tell me you're not over. It's so obvious that Opie could not get over this thing. Let's get out of here real fast and end with number 16, which I think is the best sign-off he's ever had. Wait, Davian, did I turn you? Davian started with, you know, a little hate. And now he's saying you're the man, Ope. All right.

All right, Dave, Yon. I'm going to look for you on this damn thing, okay? You made my night, Dave Yon says. Oh, well, you made my night. Turning around a hater always makes my night. All right, guys, I get to go. I'm babbling. I've lost my fastball.

It's pretty obvious, but I'll get it back. Sure, sure you will. Yeah, yeah. You're not as polished as you normally are, Opie. That's what's going on here. Babel, babble, babble, babble. All right. So that's his big announcement.

He heard his back. He was laid up watching the Olympics. So he wasn't able to do a podcast for a while. And he does tease that Ron will be back and he's going to do his streams again. And lo and behold, this morning, he comes back with Ron the waiter. Very exciting. And Opie wants to remind us all, because it's been three weeks, about the drama they left off with. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, last time you were on, there was a fucking Anthony drop. And then people, like I said, thought I had to take two weeks off because of the drama. That's not true. I mean, you know, we needed a couple days to maybe breathe and then the back popped out. But what was the drama about? I forgot.

Oh, you said Anthony DM'd you. And then Anthony had to fucking text me and, and give me a talking to. And then I just, he, Ron, this is how special you are in my life. You got my new phone number. Anthony's got my old number. Oh. And now Anthony's blocked from my old number.

What a pussy. Anthony sent opia texts that just said, hey, just so you know, you know, one of the problems with you, Opie, is that you believe everything that you hear. I did not DM Ron. So, you know, Ron was saying that Anthony was deeming him, telling him he was the best part of the show and he's so great. So I just want to say, like, I'm not, because then, Opie's like, that's so weird he would do that.

And he did it with Carl O'Reary's. So Anthony just had to be like, I'm not messaging Carl, I didn't message Carl Rhee's. I'm not messaging Ron. I'm not getting involved in your partners. You know, I'm not trying to sabotage the show or anything like that. And so Opie had to block him after that. And why did he pretend to not?

not remember and then I know every detail. And to do the full recap. So stupid. Loser. He also, um, his old number on his old phone is what woke him up in the middle of the night. Right. Yes. So he claims this went to a different phone.

Right. It's bullshit. It's the same number. He just blocked him on his regular phone. Opie still believes big radio is coming down to take him every day. He's not changing his number for anyone. That's a good point. Because he showed that it was right at like 5 a.m. or something like that.

Right, but it was sent at 10 at night. Right, it was set at 10 at night. Yeah. Normal time. And then you read it at 5 a.m. He complained about how we got it in the middle of the night or whatever he was complaining about. But you wouldn't be looking at your second phone at that time. Right.

Why would just block someone who text you twice a year? I mean, the last time that he texted before that was when Opie's mother passed away. He had just a nice thing to say to him. He doesn't block him. Sends him into such a state just thinking a text. might come in, he needs to live in a world where it's not going to happen. Wow. All right.

Well, Opie is easily triggered, as I've brought up before. I guess it was traumatizing for you and triggering, I can imagine, to wake up at like, you know, five in the morning and to see this guy who, you know, there's a real psychological dynamic between you and Anthony. I don't know that world at all. I really don't. But it must have been triggering to go, hey, and by the way, he doesn't even call you Opie.

Right. He calls you Greg. Oh, does he? Oh, isn't that nice? No one calls me Greg. Unless you, I don't know what you're trying to accomplish by calling me Greg. It's your name. Who gives a fuck?

Dude, everything triggers this guy. It's like, calm down. He's like, oh, he's coming, Greg. He could have called your shithead. Craig, I think how would that go for you? Right. Craig's a little bit nicer than what he could have called you on this. So what are we supposed to call him?

Well, it's funny you bring that up, Adam, because there's no name that Opie wants to be called. No one calls me Greg. I never liked my real name. I don't like my stupid nickname Opie. So I'm a guy that doesn't really have a name. Because I don't want to go through life now that Opie and Anthony is over with everyone calling me Opie,

because that's silly. So it's wild that this guy doesn't have a name that he prefers to be called at all. He's too old to be an opi. No one calls him Greg. So I guess, yeah, shit-hound. I guess we're going to go with that, that. I don't want to live in the past.

Right. If you call him either name, you're trashing him. He has not provided a third option for us. What are we supposed to call you? Also, I love that Opie doesn't like the name Opie. The name of his channel is Opie Radio. The name of his podcast is Opie Radio. You're triggering him right now.

What you're doing? That's very mean of me to say all that. Hey, you. So apparently, I don't know if this is what Anthony was alluding to in our chat just now, but apparently, Ron says, I did get a DM that was from a guy named Anthony Coombe. It wasn't the Anthony Coomia, because then Anthony DM, DM,

DM me and said, hey, just so you know, I didn't DM you to let him know that that wasn't him, which I think is a wise thing to do. Someone's getting a fake Anthony DMing them. You'd want to clear that up and be like, hey, whatever this person's saying to you, that's not me. And for some reason, what I just said is so complicated to these two, they can't wrap their heads around it. Anthony DM'd you to say he didn't DM me. That he didn't DM you. Yeah.

Yeah. You know, when you say it like that, it sounds so fucking ridiculous. Anthony Coombe had DM'd me to say, hey, dude, I actually didn't DM you. So in reality, he did DM me. Right. Wow. This is so complicated to these two. They literally can't figure it out.

That's, okay. Wait. So how do you DM someone to say you didn't DM them? That's weird to me, no? It's like one of those riddles. It's not. It's very simple. It has to do with time.

You know? When you said I DMD, I hadn't yet. FII. It's that easy. And they're like, whoa. We'll never get wrap our heads around this one. But it says Anthony Cooney. Yeah, there's just no way to figure this one out.

We'll come back to that. But first, for whatever reason, and Adam, I know you listen to this episode today. our buddy Ron the waiter wants to involve himself in Suttering John's Rodney's gig very badly. And we find out here that Ron the waiter performs at Rodney's all the time, apparently. And instead of calling it Dangerfields, they now call it Rodney's. And supposedly it's pretty nice in there now. It is nice. The manager, hey, dude, I have some cred there because of you.

Like, you're really like there, dude. You're really like there. Like apparently Rodney's comedy club is team Opie. Okay. So we're going to find out a lot about how they feel about Anthony, according to Ron the waiter. And he says it's really nice in there now. It's not.

It's a dump. And I know I was just talking to the owner on Shilly's show the other day. But, I mean, it was uncomfortable. The way it was laid out was not great. And the beers were warm. The beers were warm. I got some warm beer. That offends me the most.

Have you ever. been to danger fields? Yes, I had been into danger fields. It's a step up from that. Yeah, Dangerfield definitely went south. It was not in a good shape. They probably made it better than it was. That we can say. But Rodney's was not

good. So then, I'll be in this conversation about how at one point, because Rod's just blowing smoke up his ass and saying like, oh my gosh, people were Rodney's think you're a legend. You were like the biggest radio personality in the city. And nobody goes,

at one point we were bigger than Howard Stern. It's like, okay. Why not? But then they get back to the most important topic at hand. Anthony, DM'd you. Yes. To say he didn't DM you.

Yes. Yeah. It's like a weird version of Tourette's of something. I don't know. You know what I mean? It's like OCD. No, it's not. It's not at all.

Neither of those things. No. What are they talking about? Why is it so confusing for them? I can't figure it out. I think this is Opie's radio instincts where he's just milking this. And there's nothing to milk. Yeah, right.

He's, uh, there's no meat on that bone, but he's just gnaw away at it. Yeah, it's either that or they had a discussion beforehand and Ron's not remembering the script and he's trying to lead him down something. And he keeps fucking it up. Yeah, I'm trying to get back to that joke that I came up with. So apparently there was a guy at Rodney's who was not happy with one Anthony Coombe. I think Anthony's in the chat saying that this is not, this is not happen. I was at Rodney's yesterday to do a set. Yeah.

And I said, hey, last Friday, you guys went viral. And literally the mood changed. And he was like, yeah, dude, it was really bad. I'm like, I said, you talk about Anthony. He was, yeah, we didn't want him here. It was really bad. and they said, I don't want to say the word, but we don't want that P, that PED here. And I'm like, well, they said that.

Yeah. He's like, yeah, we don't want that PED here. We don't want that, we don't want that racist here. We don't want that type of attention. We don't want that drama. Is Anthony a pedestrian? I don't think that's the word he was going far. Yeah, according to Rod here, someone who works at Rodney's was calling

Anthony a PDF file and a racist and saying he's not allowed there anymore. Now, I can tell you from being at this event that they were thrilled to have Anthony there because that place was packed. It was jammed and mobbed. And they seemed to have no problem when they get right up on stage

and introduce the headlighter. And now all of a sudden, they're just like, yeah, they didn't even like that guy. They wouldn't even have him here ever again. Hold on. Was Anthony raping children in the bathroom or something? Or did something happen that I'm not aware of?

I haven't heard any reports of that. That's why you were recording in there. That's what it was, yes. I want to get some blackmail on him. So, Opie is going to sum up what happened to Anthony. Because the reason why they're talking about this, is there was a viral moment outside

where a guy was filming Anthony and accusing him of all this shit. And then Anthony ripped his glasses off his face and threw him down on the ground. And that's pretty much the long and short of it. And so, always pretend like he doesn't know about this thing, but then kind of like, let you know that he does know about it.

I heard, I heard Anthony, like, attack somebody or something because the guy said some things to Anthony that Anthony didn't like. What else do I know? I think that's about it. So, when I'm saying New York City is a small world,

what are the fucking odds? That last Friday, I finished my set at Rodney's Comedy Club, and I'm coming out the door. Wait, so you're a regular, hold on, hold on. So you're a regular at Rodney's? I didn't know this. Yeah.

I do Roddys at least once or twice a week. Oh, don't say that. That's not a good advertisement for this club. No. That is not a good advertisement. Please don't tell anyone that. But Greg here, if I may call him Greg. He hates that.

Just out of himself for knowing even less than he knows about Ron. Well, right. He doesn't pay attention to Ron at all. He's supposed to go to one of his games. He performs twice a week and Opie could never figure out a way to get out there, even though it's not a far hike from where he is. It's just over to the east side. So that's interesting that Opie goes, yeah, I guess there was like a thing that happened

and Anthony was there. And I don't know. I guess I kind of know scratching his face. That's a towel. I guess I kind of know some stuff. Meanwhile, if you go on Opie Radio YouTube page today, he pulled clips from this episode that were talking about, two different ones. They're talking about Anthony.

And the thumbnail is the thumb. now from the viral clip that Anthony has him. So it's like, what are we doing? Right. You know, hope he never played that on the show. But he's like,

I guess, yeah, there was a thing and someone was doing a thing and Anthony did a thing back. Like, holy shit. What's just being vague do for his show? Right. Being vague doesn't do anything for anyone,

and we know you know. And that's okay. Because he thinks it's like weird to pay attention to his former partner. It's weird. It's weird. It's weird to announce that you blocked them and then

read every article that comes out about them. Right. All right. So, Ron says he did stand-up before the show he went to. Yeah, I caught that. Yeah, Ronnies. I didn't realize the club was open earlier in the day. I thought they had just opened for this show.

It was a matinee, I guess. I guess there was a matinee comedy, which is always going on a Friday in New York. I guess it's probably true. But it's very interesting that Ron was apparently there. He's trying to make it so that he's part of this story. I finished my study at Rodney's last Friday and I'm coming out and I'm like,

there's a lot of people, there's fucking paparazzi. It turns out Stuttering John is the next show and it was purely a solo. Does Stuttering John do stand up? I honestly don't. Like I said,

I know some of this stuff in broad strokes. Yeah, I guess I I guess I knew over the years that he does stand up from time and time. Oh, boy. He just made a powerful out of me of this one. You can't say he devils. That's not smart, Opie. Also, I guess I knew over the years.

What's the point of any of this? Like, these two idiots, the Suttery judge who stand up? I don't know. If you guys are going to talk about this, you know you are. Because Anthony was involved in it, and it's in the New York Post. Like, why don't I do a little bit of research and know what you're talking about? I'm sure they did. Sure.

I think Ron really is this out of it. Opie's not. No. Opie knows exactly what's going on, which we're going to find out in a minute because he can't help himself, but to reveal all the information that he has. Does Southern John do stand up? Jeez, that rings a bell?

Just like he's afraid to try. He's afraid to have a take. Standing up. Oh, and telling jokes. Oh, it's stand-up comedy. Um, huh. I guess I knew that. I guess I knew that.

Well, it's funny. because Rod is out of it. Rod never listened to Opian Anthony. He never listened to Howard Stern Show. He doesn't know any of the players or any of the things that are going on. So Ron asks, innocently, are you friends with Stuttering John? He's probably running similar circles.

They do. I tried. I didn't understand why a lot of people go after him until I understood. Right. He's insufferable. And just me saying he's insufferable, now I have to deal with his horse.

More shit again. That's exactly right. I'm sure that I think someone reported that John's already reacted to this on his show today. Oh, that's awesome. So this morning, Opie goes, he's in sufferable. I didn't know why he got so much hate until he was just so obnoxious because Opie tweeted something out that was complimentary of John and John took it the wrong way

and motherfucked OPEC blocked him. This is the magic of John Melendez is that somebody whose takes are wrong about everything. suddenly they're right. Suddenly when he talks about John, I'm agreeing with them and I'm smiling and I'm with you, Opie. Yep, we've all been there. We all get it when it comes to John Melendez. So then, Ron, very confused about all of us,

even though he was there apparently when the paparazzi was there, the spectacle was going on. All of a sudden he wants to know, are Anthony and John friends? Why would they be at this show together? Hold on. So why would Anthony be at Stuttering John's show? Are they friends?

I don't think they were. I don't know. I guess Stuttering John was doing a show in New York and Anthony went there to harass him. I think if I got that correctly. Yeah. Are they friends? Jeez, you know, I'm not sure. I'd wait.

I guess there was a show. and then Anthony was there. And then it turns out Opie knows fucking everything. And I think the people that were at Rodney's were there because of Anthony. So I put Stuttering John in a really bad spot where he was trying to stand up in front of a crowd that did not like him. That sounds horrible. It's an exhausting world, Ron. Isn't that amazing?

He has to be like, I'm not sure. I don't know. I don't know anything about this. It's like, yeah, actually, what happened is the club got packed up because Anthony's, fans all came down to harass stuttering John. And so John was like, had to deal with all these people who were making fun. I was like, oh, so, Obe, you know all about this.

So do you think Ron's baiting him by acting dumb and hoping that the elder statesman here clears him up on things? I don't think Ron knows how to act dumb. Okay. I could be way off on that. I get the sense, because Ron said so many naive things. Yeah. that I get the sense that he really is just out of it.

Okay. But it is odd to think that he was there that night. We're going to find out he had a run-in with Anthony that I talked to Anthony all night. And he didn't tell me, did you see Ron the waiter was here? That never got brought up. That's why everyone thought I was at the show. I get it now. That makes sense.

Okay. Oh, Ant's going to clear it up. Yeah, Anthony, the chat says, Opie does the I don't know thing because he wants to appear to be more important than everyone else. I can't pay attention to that, man. Oh, I get it. That's what it's all about, but it's so funny that because Ron's providing no contacts, he's like, okay, here's what happened. All right, fine.

I'll be funny. I'll tell you what fucking happens. Then we just get through this and move on with this. I mean, they both read the article. They both read articles before any news story they cover and they mention who read it. What do you know? Why are they pretending that they didn't read the article? It's like they either had that discussion or Ron doesn't know what he's allowed to or can say.

so Opie has to say it first because he doesn't know who's a friend or who's an enemy and he gets yelled at when he gets it wrong. True. Okay. That's a good point. I think it's beyond just reading the article. I think people have sent Opie links to videos. Of course they have. Because he saw it when John's reading the report and Antley's standing up in the crowd and yelling at John and everyone's chanting his name. Like people said that to Opie. Yeah. 100%. So he saw it. He knows. He just everything that went down.

delivery like he overheard it in the coffee house. Right. Other people talking and didn't want to pride. Yeah, I guess he was at a comedy club. Yeah, he was with Rodney's. We've established that part, Opie. Don't play dumb on that part. I guess he's a town or something.

Yes. And you didn't mention to Opie that you ran into Anthony at your gig that Stuttering John was performing at never occurred to you to mention that. Yeah, this is going back five days now. This hasn't been brought up between the two of them. They didn't text about it or anything like that. So then opi has to bring it back to this hilarious bit that is killing. Okay, great.

I got something else. Yeah, go ahead. Let me start by saying this. Wait, I got to, I got to go back again. Yeah, go. I want to make sure I understand this. Okay. Anthony.

That's right. That's right. DM'd you to say he didn't DM you. That is 100. That is 100% correct, sir. You are correct, sir. He DM'd me to tell me he didn't DM me. It's fucking bizarre world.

Remember Heather W., the woman who gave a lot of money to Stuttering John? Because she's naive and didn't know what's going on. Back when Heather W. and I were communicating, somebody spoofed my number and would call her from my phone number. So that she would call me and I would have to call her back to tell her I didn't call her. because I wasn't knowing to call her. Now, if I told that to slow down. If I told him to run,

they'd be like, what the fuck? You called someone to tell him he didn't call that? Like, yes, that's precisely what happened. I don't know why he thinks this is a funny bit or what he thinks is going out here. So then they get off on this weird tangent. Ron starts talking about how, like, you get your intelligence from your mom and not your dad.

And Opie being the shock jock that he is. has a zinger for us. Scientifically prove it. Well, I can tell you what you get from your dad. Diabetes? No, a big meat whistle. Not me. My dad had a big meat whistle and his son has a big meat whistle.

Do you help it? That's gross. That's so cool, man. I love your dad. sound as big dick to you. It's so cool. What's he doing? I still got it.

See, radio execs? I still got it. Talk about my enormous cock by using terms like meat whistle, so it's FCC safe. Is that a term that people use? Nope. Didn't think so.

Definitely not. And if you don't want to get laid, try using that in the bedroom and see what happens. Who wants to suck of my meat whistle? Not me. Okay. Dumb question, I guess. So then this is when we find out that Iran, you know, he said he was performing at that club earlier.

Yeah. Now we find out that they actually ran into Anthony Kumi at the show. And God is my witness. Fucking Anthony pops out, it pops out and goes, what do you know? What do you say? Like that. Like, what do you know? What do you say like that?

We're five feet. We're like directly across each other five feet away. And I'm looking at him right in the eyes. And I'm like, oh, shit, that's Anthony. And he looks right over my right shoulder. He doesn't make eye contact. He's looking here because there's people are, there's paparazzi. Oh, the paparazzi.

He's still doing it where he gets to paparazzi. That must be exciting. I want the paparazzi again while I'm walking my dog rat. Yeah. You'd like the attention, wouldn't you? Okay. I'm calling bullshit on all of this. And I can't wait to talk to Anthony after this to find out what

Ron is making up here because I was there before Anthony was. We were both that Sullivan's hanging out and then Zenhauser picked us up and we got to the club before Anthony did. So I was there, milling him out in the front, all the things that Ron's explaining before Anthony was there.

I definitely would have seen Rod if he was there. Yeah. It wasn't that crowded at that time. We got there pretty early. Sure. To hang out. So this is bullshit. He's making this up.

I remember when I saw Ann last he was popping out of the car. Ah, you folks look wonderful from here. How you doing? How are you? That's his typical entrance. It's how he is. When you got there before Anthony,

and you said it was still a light crowd, was there any evidence that there was a previous show? No. Okay. No, there's warm beers in the cooler. You know what I mean? Like, you see what they were just opening up. So Ron was there to stock the cooler and you fuck up?

It seemed like they were just opening up to me. So, yeah, that all seemed really odd that he's explaining this. So then, and this is to you. your point before where is Ron just pretending to be naive and not know what's going on to let Opie tell the story? Because earlier, it didn't seem like either of them knew about this viral clip that Anthony's in. And now all of a sudden they do.

Well, the thing it was is there was a guy outside of Rodney's when Anthony came out of the black guy, right, came out of the Blackie's Ian and he's screaming. What are you doing back in New York City? Why are you allowed back in New York City? Because you are a PED and a racist. You are a massive piece of shit, PED and a racist. And Anthony kept going, who are you? What's your name?

And then the guy said some transvestite woman's name. And Anthony knew who that was. And then the guy kept saying you're a piece of shit. PED, racist, blah, blah, blah. Fuck you. You're no good. Why are you here? we don't want you here.

And Anthony said again, who are you? What's your name? And then just fucking popped them right in the fucking mouth. That's not Anthony. Anthony isn't bothered by things. Supposedly, I was the one that was always bothered by that things don't bother Anthony.

Good one. Opie. See Opie making the face as Ron's telling him exactly what happened. The thing that Opie was pretended to summarize earlier, I'm not sure. I think a thing happened to the thing. And then Ron tells him the next story back. And Opie's like,

What? Whoa. Just a little advice for the Opster. Play the viral clip on your show. React to it. Pause it a few times. Talk about your take. I know what you know about Anthony and his reaction to this. Because I

kind of thought it was a little bit out of character from Aunt. And the Opie would be the person everyone would want to go to see the reaction video from. Oh, yeah. He would get a ton of views on that. Instead, he has to do this thing. He plays dumb. Doesn't know what's going on and then when Ron explains it to him he just goes whoa oh so lame it's not accomplishing

anything for him he's got the worst instincts ever i feel like they had a conversation before about how this was going to play out and they both forgot how it was going to go out that's what i'm saying they're doing it wrong and they're reminding each other what they were allowed to say ron went from i'd never seen it to directly quoting all of the parties involved correctly yeah and i want to point out So this show was an hour and 10 minutes long. They talk about all this stuff 20 minutes in and then for the next 10 minutes. And then it gets off on these weird tanges. And then they bring it all the way back to this and go through all of it again.

So this was obviously in their notes to talk about that. I think they realized they dropped the ball out of the first time. So now all of a sudden, Opie is piecing it all together. Look. Let me get this straight. So one guy, a guy in Anthony's face and Anthony struck him. Is that true? 100%.

Okay. And then the other side of the story is then Stuttering John is on stage, sold out Rodney's, everyone heckling him, everyone there doesn't like him in general. And did Stuttering John like attack the audience physically? Or did he stand there and take it? I mean, I wasn't there for that. I left. I mean, I did the show before.

I didn't. This doesn't make sense. And now you're going to have to deal with another DM. Ron. You're going to have another DM saying you got your story wrong. Yeah. You should probably start DM with the sky immediately because he's making some shit up right. You know the other Anthony Coombe of the DMs?

That makes sense. Kumi with two O's. But as I like that OPE is still playing this like, I'm not sure what happened. Then John, did he attack the audience? Like, did anyone say that? What do you mean? Where'd you go up with that idea? But then it turns out, again,

that Opie knows everything. I mean, if anyone should have been, like, attacking people, should have been stuttering John. They put him in a wild spot. The whole crowd is chanting, you know, terrible things at the guy. They weren't there to support him. Is that true? And stuttering John was a, I did see one video where he puts his arms up,

like, I, what else you got? Here I am, bitches. And he didn't attack anybody. Well, there you go, Opie. Start with the hat. You saw it. You know what's going on? Why would you wait an hour into your podcast to finally reveal?

Like, so I was watching the videos and what went down at the show, it's fucking a while. Like, everyone's chanting crazy shit like Deadbeat Dad and they're chanting Oscar Turner. And so John's getting all pissed off about that. And then at the end, he's triumphant. After the guy, he gets the paper. Like, yeah, yeah, yeah, all that stuff. All that stuff happened. Just say it.

Why are you playing coy? What's the point of all this? Like, he knows, he knows details about what happened. And then I heard people like, you do your act, do you. You can't do your act in that spot, you idiots. Why is it me that has to always come up with the logic? Because now they're spinning it that, oh, you shouldn't do this act. You can't do your act in a hostile environment like that.

Ridiculous. Now they're spinning it. He's even watching the reaction shows. He's watching WATP. He's watching NLO and all. and Uncle Rico and all the shows Blind Mike

all the shows that are covering this thing and he pretended he didn't know anything about it for most of the stream To what end? To what ad is he doing that? This is crazy

I was actually This is the last I clipped this right before That's why I was like Scramling to get on the show He says like Oh shit they're talking about it again So I'm clipping all this stuff

Going what kind of reveal is this What the fuck? You can't know all about this shit He knows exactly what they were chanting and everything else. He's so concerned with people accusing him of falling into those same tropes that they always accuse him of. Like he reacts too much. He's manipulative.

He's really trying to set it up like Ron is coming to these opinions on his own and not being led by Opie. And it's not working. He's clearly being led and they've clearly talked about this before. Obviously. So then they talk about, you know, people were chanting, do your act. and we did want to see John do the squeegee bit and some of his other bits that he does. And then they wonder, well, what is his act? A whole crowd yelling and screaming because they hate your guts and you're like,

what is his act? Do you know it? What does he do? He studies? I mean, all these years, I never knew stuttering John to be a good stand-up comedian. end, that's for sure. But I guess he gets things done up there. I don't know. Whoops.

It said too much. Gets things done up there. I guess he gets things done up there. What is his act? It's a funny question. Balloon animals. And does he stutter? It's a good question.

So speaking of what is his act, Adam actually found what Ron does when he's at Rodney's. Should we play the clip of what Ron posted on social media of him performing at Rodney's? I think it's a great idea. Yeah, because I thought it was wild that he's like, oh, I performed there once or twice a week.

And I've seen Ron Berman's stand-up before, and I'm always like, oh, this is terrible. This is the most amateur shit I've ever seen. You're way too old to a man to think that you're a stand-up comic when you do this. So maybe this will win me over and I'll change my mind. Got pulled over by the L.A. Highway Patrol for DWI, and they asked him for his license and registration and he yelled

the Jews, the Jews, they're starting all the wars. He did say that. It sounds like a song in a Broadway music. The Jews! The Jews! They're starting all the wars. And they've got lasers in space, lace in the space, laser in the space,

laser they're using. He posted that. Mm-hmm. Not like someone who hates him. Not somebody who's trying to make it sure he never gets a gig in New York ever again. He posted that. Like, that's a pretty funny bet. He called it Mel Gifts in the musical.

I saw that right before I got here. Did you? I was like, Rodney's. I've heard of that place. Where's that? You're like, Opie. I think that's a comedy club in New York, maybe. Oh, shit.

That room sounded fucking empty and also a car was running. Yes, that was louder than him. Also, Ron does not need a microphone. Did you notice that? Yeah, right. Jesus, Craig, do you imagine being in that card? I'd be like, shut the fuck up? So obnoxious.

There was no laughter even on the clip that he posted. Yeah, sweeten that stuff, Ron. I got to believe, I do believe, that if Ron was confronted with and has been any kind of crowd, no matter how difficult he's doing his act, he's going to do exactly that, to no laughs, to all laughs, to yells, he's just going to do it. And that already makes him better than John. He danced around in a whoopee cushion. Yeah.

Outside of Gebart, he'll do whatever. He'll humiliate himself. He's not worried about that at all. So how wild is that? Opie returns, and he returns right directly into the devilverse. Welcome, Opie. Good to see you, buddy. Thanks for coming back.

We appreciate you. And, uh, all right, let's get to the important part of the show, shall we? Is it weird or is it gay? What will there to say today? is a gay welcome megan and annie hello hello our review girls oh hello it's going to be back happy 10 year anniversary thank you very much if i brought that up yet that it is our 10 year anniversary of who are these podcasts we're doing it since march of 2016 and look at us now we're still doing it way worse than it used to be right i read the subreddit we're still doing it so we're still doing it

So at least there's that. All right, we're going to play, is it gay? This is the game that Megan puts together for us, where we watch Aaron Himmel talk about some random bullshit and then try to figure out if Aaron's going to say it's gay or not. Because the thing about Aaron Himal is that he's not funny and he's not creative. And so the only joke that he ever has about things is that it's gay,

which totally works in 2026. So take away round one. This is worth one point for all contestants involved. Nick Moore believes this is retaliation. he was just following orders. Well, Liz Jarvis Moore says, you know who else was just following the orders? The Nazis. He doesn't even eat honey buns because he's a type 2 diabetic.

He believes this goes much deeper than those 200 or so calorie snacks. He thinks despite 24 years of service in Morgan County, this is retaliation. So wait, this guy's accused, old Frank Noneck is being accused of like hoarding honey buns. Is it gay to accuse a diabetic jailer of hoarding honeybuns to bribe inmates? Wow. Adam. I only heard honey buns, so yes, gay. Carl.

That was a mouthful, which is also a gay thing to say. I'm going to say it's gay. Chris. Not gay. Annie. I don't think it's gay. All right. We're split on this one.

let's find out and then like getting inmates to do shit for him and then he'd give them honey buns as a reward this is all so gay yes yes he would know something about being gay in jail

Eric does have experience with that all right that's round one remember we have five rounds worth one point each and then our final round is worth three points so keeps everybody in the game round two this Nick Lee who is Amher

Amaranth's husband. These two need to be studied. Like if society ever heals and we ever get better and we need people we need to study out of this era, Amaranth and her husband are two of them, as well as the people who give them money and watch their streams. And by the way, these people do multiple times better than I will ever do, no matter what happens. That makes me feel good in a way because while I do a better show than anyone else you watch,

while I'm better than any community I ever got away from and defeated, I will never have the numbers that people like this have. And that makes me feel good because it shows I belong to a bygone era. Spin it however you want. Well, it's all spin right there. You have to bring up the devilvers of that. I'm sorry, go ahead, Megan. Take it away.

Is it gay to have as many viewers as Amaranth for the type of content she puts out? if you don't know who Amaranth is, check her out. Annie? Yeah, it's gay. Chris. Not, not. Carl. I'm going to say it's gay.

Adam. Not gay. All right, we're split again. Let's go. If I did extremely well in this era of online content creation consumption, I would feel gross because the kind of people who do well are, Amaranth and Bonnie Blue. Okay.

See, he just needs the, you know, hoe it out a little, and maybe he'll get some more money. He would feel gross if he did that. He doesn't want to succeed in this, with this audience. He doesn't want money. That's one of my favorite copes that Aaron does, the whole, like, I'm glad I don't have as big an audience. Who would want that? I'm glad I belong to a bygone era.

Yeah. What a cope. So glad I'm out of touch. That's great. I don't even say that. All right. Round three. All right.

Let's try something else. Long ways away today, guys. And I'm happy about the show. I really am. I don't want to come off like I'm, you know, not happy with it. I'm so thrilled with the show. I'm just really hoping we can not to win. I just, every time I have to mention it, I know that, you know, people are going to clip it and do all that shit.

So I always try really hard to encourage you guys to stay away from that portion of the show. is that portion of the show, aka begging for the goal, gay. Adam. Yes, it's gay. Carl. Yeah, I think he thinks it's gay.

Chris. I think Aaron will say the goal is gay. Annie. I think it's gay. I love this part because he's pretending he's not begging. Guys, don't make me beg. All right, just get anybody now or else I'll be begging, and that'll be weird.

weird, so please give me money now. Yeah. I don't want you guys to be part of that, but give me that money. You don't have to be part of it. It's so stupid. Just because it's gay. It's just so retarded. It's like, just be more jealous.

Okay. Poor Eric. He meant that. He really struggles with his own show format. I believe there's like one person who could fix that for him. This little picture. I think, yeah, I think it's on my channel this Friday. We'll get caught up on Aaron Emholt.

I forgot about him this week. It's been Suttering John for like a whole week. And I'm like, who's Aaron? So I watched one clip of Aaron. I think I started out of subreddit where someone brought up the Suttering John show. And he's like, oh, I'm not going to stoop to that level to talk about that. It's like, this is the time to talk about Suttering John. That's what everyone's time watching the videos and talking about it.

Aaron just couldn't bring himself to do it. So I said, all right, well, then I'll watch something. else. Never mind. All right, round four. Hey, the very next text I sent her was God, sounds so fucking bad. I'm going to get ripped on so hard for this. I'm craving

Girl Scout cookies. The applause, never makes sense. You want to know something? I still am craving girls. Sam show writes, he's fat. Oh, buddy. Oh, he eats all the

thin mince in bed. Aaron's on his cycle. Root says cuddles ice cream in the notebook. She's on the rag. Root says, me too, Aaron.

Me too. Samoas will be my downfall. Aaron is going to let us know his favorite Girl Scout cookie is Tagalongs. Are Tagalongs gay? Annie? Yeah.

They're gay. Chris? Sounds pretty gay. Carl. I'm going to say no, they're not gay. Adam. I'm going gay. Okay, let's find out.

I don't even know what tag of logs are. They're like peanut butter and chocolate. I had to look them up too. That sounds good. So gay. Yeah, I think they used to be called peanut butter delights. Oh, I love the peanut. Those are my favorites.

I hope they're not gay. I'm more of a tag along's guy. Because, of course, I am. My lost interest says Girl Scout cookies and ice cream. Yes. Damn it. I picked him a point on you, motherfuckers at that one.

We're going into round five. What are these scores right now? You and TV's Adam Bush are tied at three. I got two, and he's trailing with one. All right. Andy's got to get a point in this one here. Round five.

Zach Morris, Z-A-C-K or Z-A-C-H? I think it's C-K. All right. Kelly Kapowski cheated on Zach Morris with Jeff Hunter. It was Jeff. His name was Jeff. Played by actor Patrick Muldoon.

Well, there's a surprise. Fucking whore. He's right. It's like, remember when Corey cheated on Topanga? What? Is it gay if you did not watch Boy Meets World growing up, Adam? Is it gay if you didn't watch it?

Yeah. If you did not watch it, are you, is it gay? Is it gay? Sure, why not? I know. I don't answer that one either. I'm just going to say yes, because I don't understand it. Chris?

No. Annie. I think the answer is not gay. All right. We're split again on this one. I don't. I never watched that show. God, you're a fucking gay guy.

What? All the cool kids watched boy, me. twirled. Apparently. So it's gay because he didn't watch it. Yes. Exactly. Makes sense, right? No. I know. I know. It doesn't make any sense.

You're too old. All right. We were adults when that was on, right? This is true. I think so. I did watch Save by the Bell, though. Oh, yeah. Nothing gay about that. Nothing gay about screech.

All right. This is our final round right here. Worth three points. It's not just is it gay. Megan is going to give us some different choices of what Aaron's going to say for the big punchline for whatever the hell he's talking about in this clip. Before Hitler took over, you know the books that everybody makes fun of Hitler burning? You know what the books was?

Queer books. That was queer books. I mean, as a First Amendment guy myself, even the queer books, I'm not exactly for setting them a light. Maybe you just don't read the queer books. you don't want to. But Bryce Mitchell with one of the most

full-throated modern American defenses of Adolf Hitler since David Duke. Hitler barn queer books because Hitler didn't want a bunch of queers destroying his nation. They can't produce children. Canter won't. Colmey. I thought it that way.

All right, was that it? Yeah. What does Aaron feel Oh, is there a response? I'm sorry, I didn't see that you added. Yeah. What? It doesn't matter.

Okay, yeah. Aaron says, what? Okay. What does Aaron feel? What does Aaron feel about southern people saying queer? Is it funny, gay, or trashy? Annie? It's inherently gay

So I'm going with that one Chris Trashy Carl I think he's going to think it's funny Because that's why he says words like that Because he thinks it's funny That's my guess

Yeah I'm going funny Because he as the host of the White Power Hour He doesn't know quite where he stands with this Right I have an hard time with it Okay What about I will say

Southern people saying queer will always be some of the funniest shit in the world to me. Yes. All right. What's the final telly?

Is there a tie for first time this one? You're very aware of that. You and Adam. They call this a race to the bottom. Okay. Yeah, it's gay. We had fun along the way. You said there was some bonus clips.

Baggins or anything you want me to set up here? I just found some funny things he says. Yeah. Yeah. I feel better. I feel pretty. Oh, so pretty. I feel pretty and witty and gay.

And I pity any girl who isn't me today. I feel better. All right. I feel pretty. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Why does this happen here? I feel pretty and witty. All right.

Sorry about that. That's a fun one. And then we got another bonus for us too. Megan, put in a little overtime. Who gives a fuck, right? Who cares? We're here to have some gay fun on the toe. Yes, as Megan is searching for the word gay and the transcript,

she finds other fun clips that come up. So thank you for that. It's gay fun. Thank you for putting that together for us, Megan. You said it was going to be a fun one today. You did not disappoint. It's always fun. We appreciate it.

All right. I think it's time for another game show. The Opier Burr game from our buddy Simon. Hi. Oh, bags laparinos. I'm your host Simon from the Worst Ever podcast, and it's time for opia bur. Did you do your homework? Let's find out in round one. I hate talking about the obvious stuff because it drives people nuts. Because, you know, they dig in with their ideology, and that's all that matters.

And that's, and that leads me to, uh... Yes, that's my evil laugh. Let's register those votes. Wow. This game is tough. I know. I will start with Adam, where I think is the expert on these two.

I mean, that was interchangeable. Yep. Every word. I'm going, Wobie. I'm going to go Bill Burr. What do you think, Chris? I went Burr. Annie?

I think it's Burr. Megan. I'm also going Burr. Wow. Adam's out on the limb right now. let's find out if he picked up a point on all of us. And here's the answer. I hate talking about the obvious stuff because it drives people nuts.

Because, you know, they dig in with their ideology and that's all that matters. And that's and that leads me to, uh, yes, that's my evil laugh. So evil, I could watch a guy shit. Let's play. Round two. All right. I don't know what else to talk about. I'm running out of shit.

Congratulations to Lady in Australia who breastfed in Parliament. I don't know why that was a big deal, but evidently it's a big deal. Let's register those votes. Magid, what do you think? Er.

Round three. because that's where the good stuff really lies. Well, that's Simon. Right when you were taking a drink, too, it looked like you almost lost. I almost lost it. Because that's where the good stuff really lies. That's where it's at. I just spilled my coffee all over my chair here.

But I'm loving it. Let's register those votes. Producer Chris, what do you got? God, they both love their fucking coffee. Going burr again. I'm also going to go. No, I'm going to go Opie. Meg, what do you think?

I need to defend something that the right really believes in that is being canceled. And then I can prove to you that I'm not for canceling any of this shit. I hate cancel culture. Let's register those votes. What a horrible take. I think that's Billy Burka. What do you think, Adam? Wilfred Burr.

What do you think, Annie? Opie. Mr. Chris. Burr. Megan. Opie. All right. The ladies like Opie.

The guys like Bill. Is that gay guy? Here's the answer. I need to defend something that the right really believes in that is being canceled. And then I can prove to you that I'm for not canceling any of this shit. I hate cancel culture. Watch out. Bill Mar,

And actually, since we're talking about that, I will do this. This is part of the show where we tease the next episode of Who Are These Podcasts.

That's coming up this Saturday, for those of you who are Patreon supporters, are on YouTube or Supercast. The audio comes out on Sunday morning, and we will have Vinnie Paulino in studio with us. Now, I don't know what we're going to be talking about because it's possible. We need to be driving back from Allentown Saturday morning. you're seeing, Suttering John Melendez perform stand-up comedy. If that's the case,

I want to talk to him about that. Yeah. And if that, we'll reveal a podcast. Also a very possible thing. Stefan Lissard, the bass player from Dave Matthews, just made an appearance on a podcast.

I can download that one for you. Perfect. Yes. Please do. Last I heard video was definitely in. Okay. And he made it sound like he's coming back that night. Oh, he would do something like that.

Oh, yeah. Oh, that's even more reason for me not go. Well, no shit. Yeah, I'm not doing that. So that's nine hours. Yeah, how long is it to Allen Town? Four and a half. Fuck. I can't do these road trips anymore. I know. It's too much. Yeah, I mean, it's tempting, but. Anywho. Megan, we have any new comments on Spotify? You can read for us?

Do. From last week's episode 704, some guy in New Hampshire said, Shane Gillis's ex-girlfriend reminds me of a Chip-chipperson. clip where he makes fun of opi. I'm funny if you don't agree, I'll tell you. Despite popular opinion, I'm funny. Yes. That was very funny.

We have slow dancer saying, didn't think Epstein Island was funny until Burr and Whitney said it was. It's good comment. And then I have a comment from episode 705. Gary says, I've seen Keanu a couple years ago, I thought she would have improved.

Nope. There have been no laughs. What do you mean? None! I was at the show. I can report back. Thanks for commenting on Spotify. It helps the algorithm.

And also reviewing our show on Apple Podcasts or every review podcast. Certainly helps the algorithm. Shows that people are interested and engaging. And do we have any new reviews for our show? Yes. One of them comes in from Apple Podcasts from Ohio listener about five days ago. saying, for the love of God, stop playing Bill Burr clips. I cannot stand the sound of him laughing at his own stupid jokes.

You're talking to no one, Bill. Stop laughing. It's not funny. Insert Seinfeld clip here. How old in the world does he and Whitney have shows and careers? Horrible takes on all topics. All right. So we are ruining people's lives, which I always appreciate.

I always appreciate when I hear people like finally just losing it. Like, why do I keep listening to this? It's trying me insane. I bet that's a five-star review. Yeah, they get it. Nice. I think Tugie was right, and I'm going to keep saying it. We all have a sort of brain rot going on.

We're all infected with something. Very true, but it's so much fun. We're all having a blast doing it, even though Opie doesn't want to get involved in it. Annie, what do you have coming up on your YouTube channel? Where can people find that? They can go to at Annie Orion, or you can search that up. It's actually at insanity, but either way we'll find it. on my YouTube channel I do a variety of different games stuff this morning I had Mammy on my show so if you don't get enough of her come check that out and then tomorrow I'll be role playing as Carmic X in space wow nice did you talk to Mammy about her relationship with the VTL yes I haven't done that on stream has been a little bit behind the scene stuff I don't know how much she really wants out there but you know if she opens her mouth while she's on my stream that's public nice very good and then Adam you have a show people should check out

I do. I invite everybody to check out the Red Weather podcast with Writer Strong from Classic TV Show Boy Meets World. It is a fictionalized true crime podcast. And if you're looking for good, high-quality violin fiddle playing, I recommend Jason Crosby and the Jason Crosby Collective coming to the Capitol Theater. Excellent. Sounds good. Can you play the box? Right. Can he tap on a box? No, no. No, he cannot. He has a really good taste. Oh, well, then what's even the point? I don't understand. So I know you guys are really disappointed But because I was running way behind today
