Who Are These Podcasts? - Ep720 - Brendan Schaub Ends TFATK, Opie & Ron, Stuttering John

Episode Date: April 23, 2026

This week we start off briefly checking in on Rob Saul, KarmicX, Mario Bosco, and Boyd Tinsley. Then we check in on Brendan Schaub who doesn’t hold back as he explains Bryan Callen is the reason why The Fighter and the Kid isn’t very good anymore. He has an argument with Chin that is bonkers as they discuss how young you have to be in order to be “silly” on a podcast.  Adam Busch brings in the Cringe of the Week with Corey Feldman celebrating his Bar Mitzvah on the streets of Beverly Hills and Aaron Imholte’s thoughts on Satanic pop music. Opie’s friend Ron the Waiter is shooting a pilot for television (allegedly) and Opie wants to talk about anything else. Then they have a guest on their show and get into an embarrassing fight in front of him. Stuttering John’s lolsuit had a big decision today that we discuss. We listen to John sing about how the Dabbleverse is dying in the way only the musically untalented and dimwitted StutJo can. Megan and Annie join to play a round of “Is It Gay?”, the “Opie or Burr” game, and Cardiff’s “To Poke A Dabbler.” We finish with reviews, comments, and voicemails.

I told them in the strongest of words to just do it. You see, this is a we just do it kind of show. I was lucky enough to be born from a good gene pool. Episode number 720. Are you a boner guy? Oh, I was a boner guy. You know what? I missed penis. What are you talking about?

I'm the one who should apologize. Is it going to be absolutely riveting? Is it going to change your life by any sort of? stretch. Probably not, but it's going to be at least entertaining, okay? By the way, for those people that are in the back, remember to shut the fuck up. Maddieo!

Let's talk about exclusive bonus episodes. Holy shit. I've been busy this week. We did a bonus show on Monday,

and that was about the Artie Fletcher interview that John had last week. Vinnie Paulino was over in studio. Vinnie worked for Artie Fletcher, and Artie Fletcher is just like John. It's all about TV credits and how famous he is. No one knows who this guy is. He's not funny. He talks about a stand-up comedy, and John and him are teaming up to do stand-up shows on the road.

I'm very excited about that. Together at last. Oh, this is so exciting. So check that out because not only we play clips from that interview, but Vinny's got a bunch of shit that he shared from the old stuff that Artie did when he was traveling with Gallagher and Bob Nelson and all sorts of fun factoids about Artie Fletcher. So that's worth checking out. And then we did a bonus episode yesterday.

Producer Chris was over and Jenny Jingles before we had a nice dinner with Danny Sabellas. We decided to do a little living in the past with Stuttering John. Melendez, and there is a bombshell. Yeah. In this episode, John talks about a 12-year-old Oscar. I believe it was Oscar Melendez at this time. Oscar Melendez is staying with John at his house. And, holy shit, is John a bad parent?

Wow. It's shocking. This is what he's telling us on his podcast. Yeah, he was bragging, too. Royce is like, you sure you want to talk about this? Yeah, but, man, man, man, man, man, man, man. And he does. He certainly does.

Mario Bosco has an amazing James Gatelphini anecdote. Brendan Schaub decides to put an end to the fighter and the kid without telling Brian Kellen, his co-host. Corey Feldman finds Judaism. Ron Films a TV pilot and Opie makes a new friend. Suttering John received some very bad news from the judge in our lawsuit trial. We'll get into that.

I was down at the courthouse today. Megan and Annie will be here for a round of Is It Gay? We have opi or burr. We have to poke a dabbler. Yes. So many games to play. We have reviews and voicemails. But first, Rob Saul was sober.

and now he's on the other side of the Dabalverse and having a blast. So you're checking in on our buddy Rob, who's been watching clips of John Melendez and learning that, hey, this is a lot more fun than budding up with John and being the new Duke. Just clouding this retard. It's like watching somebody learn how to walk. Yeah.

You know, it's just put one foot in front of the other. You're stepping in fresh snow, and it really came alive for him. Yeah, so this is our buddy, Rob, and enjoying what we've been enjoying for eight years. A.A. They have this like thing. They have this superiority. Like they're better than anybody who drinks a beer.

Listen, I've been. What a fucking maroon. Hey, they got this superiority. They think they're better than me. because I drink a beer. They think they're better than you because they talk to their children now. Oh, it took him a second to get there. But I liked it.

I liked that he got there. It was fun. Progress and that perfection. Right. I think he's having a little bit of fun with this. He knows a lot about John. They've had private conversations. You know, we know that John had Rob's number because he docks it multiple times.

Oh, yeah. So we know that we all have Rob's number. Everyone has Rob's number. So we know that they've had private conversations. Rob probably knows more about the Duke than the Duke wants him to know, which is always fun. And how I like you better drunk than sober. Oh, yes, that was from the Living in the Past episode we did yesterday talking about Jackie the joke man. Yep.

John does not like when people get sober. That bums him out. You think you're better than me. Yeah, this is what John thinks. So right there you saw Rob kind of pick his spot, nice little shot at him and everything, you know, because Rob's got a good relationship with his kid that he's very proud. out of since getting sober. Well, in this next clip, I think this is just for Rob.

It's not really for us. I think he's just, he needed this more than we did. Hey, Duke, get a full-length Mary, you fat fuck. You fat motherfucker. They go, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

You don't frown on. Hey, John, that's me trashing you. Ava, if you're still here, that's trashing them. You fat bitch. Your life is in shambles. You're a joke. You're a joke. That's why everybody turns on you.

It's not because everybody in the world is fucking, bizarre and something weird is happening in the universe. It's you. It's you, John. All right. What did you have a whiskey and got down over there, buddy? It seems like you have it once. that one out.

Thank you, Rob. It's time for someone else to share now. We only have a short time at the meeting. But good for him. I'm sure it's very cathartic for him to went all of this out after, you know, being John's buddy. And that did not pay off for our friend Rob at all. No.

All right. Well, thanks for checking in on that. And you're also checking on Karmic. Yeah. Well, I felt like that Rob thing wasn't just cathartic for him. it was cathartic for me and maybe some other people as well just to see him let that out. Now our buddy Carmick is not in the same place of healing that our friend Rob is. No, he is not.

Before you even play it, this is from our piece last week and Carmic's very negative. He hates everything. And I was wondering where this was coming from because he's so chill with other people. Scarlet, with MLC, he's like relaxed. He can be a person. He just all anger. with KB. Ha ha, Kevin.

He loves it. Right. I'm a piece of shit. Ha, ha, ha. I digress. Yes, yes. It's like, yeah, he suddenly has a sense of humor

about himself. Here, it's just like unwavering, you know, tyrannical. So this is just a little clip from the piece we did on him last week. I'll do a show just like that and it'll be better. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Wow.

People suck. People suck. That's a bad attitude if you ask me. Where is he getting this from? I think from the next tweet here. Okay. This is from Felicia Gillespie. His girlfriend.

That he's a girlfriend that he lives with. Yes, social media sucks, TV sucks, movies suck, food sucks, cars suck, people suck, money sucks, places suck, life sucks. So if you can't beat him, join him. Is that what he's doing with this relationship? I think they're either sharing the same book where they write bits in or she's heavily influencing his perspective and way of looking at the world. Yeah, if you are in a relationship with someone, and let's say it's pretty early on in the relationship,

not even a year old yet, and that person is tweeting things like this, it's not working out. Yeah. They're not happy with you. Or she's being sarcastic and making fun of them. Well, it's also a possibility. That'd be great.

This next clip, do you want to get into your clip where D-Waver gifts a membership. Oh, yeah, I just wanted to show a high note. He's feeling good. D-Wavers gifting a lot of memberships, and he's riding that high. Yeah, this is exciting for Karmic.

He just wants to do this for a living. He wants to make money streaming like a lot of people do, and this is the way to do it. Oh, my God! And the lucky recipient is... It's Adam Bush, everyone. Adam... Adam gets the gifted membership.

Let's see how we congratulate you on this accomplishment. A problematic individual, but let's not get dwelled on this individual. Thank you, D. Waver. I appreciate it. Problematic. Adam? My Adam? Kind of took the wind out of his sales right there.

He's like, this is awesome. He got the applause and everything. Oh, this fucking guy. A Trojan pony. He doesn't know what to make of it. I jumped in on his stream the next day, and he was asking how everyone was doing and that he was doing well.

And I wrote, I am doing well, Karmic, and he blocked me. What? He blocked me. He asked you, though. He wanted to know how you were doing. I mean, it was a general ask, and I was excited to respond.

We were doing our roll call. And he blocked me immediately. Well, you're problematic, as he said. I guess so. You know what else is problematic? is this Mario Bosco fellow. Hmm. So we're going to learn a lot about Mario in a short segment on Mario today.

First off, I know you're aware, producer Chris. Yes. Mario is a stand-up comic. Yes. So aside from just being a stand-in and just a famous Guinea out of New York, who loves to pronounce Guinea food in silly ways. And people ask him what he identifies as. Well, there's that.

He's also a stand-up. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. And, uh... Is he, though? Is he? Well, that's the question. Because he's on that show that's like, uh, growing up Italian or what's the name of the show he does, those guys? That's it.

And, uh, those guys are like, hey, look at us. We're Italian over here. And so, uh, they like to fuck with Mario from time to time. And, uh, they make him perform stand-up for them. I'm in my feast attire. What's talent you have? I'm a stand-up comedian. I'm a writer.

I'm an author. Oh, your stand-up comedian? Hey, the floor is yours. The floor is mine. Should I tip at a sandwich shop? You should tip everywhere. I don't tip at a sandwich shop because she didn't make the sandwich. She only put it in the bag.

No, that wasn't part of the joke. This is what, oh, so this is what they post on their social media. Yeah. Oh, it's on his too. It's on Mario Bosco Comedy and the Growing Up Italian podcast. Did you think that there was a joke there somewhere? It's a crossbook. In the bag.

I don't know. He acted like it was a punchline, but it was not. Yeah, yeah. They both pointed out, they're like, yeah, so you don't dip in sandwich shops. Do you want to set your act now? What is this? Confession? Right. We're to get the audience on your side. Yeah, no, it definitely does not help. By the way, if your weight stamp is slow tonight, don't tip them either. Yeah.

A couple of them were really dragging ass. I think they're up late last night. I had no idea how bad he was at stuff. I just find it fascinating. Like, he does all these things. I didn't know he really can't do any of them. It's a sharp dresser. not at the moment no not at the moment and uh we're going to see another clip that's actually um quite embarrassing but first he was a stand in for a j on the sopranos right

when uh i think j was younger so he got to hang out with james gandlefini and he thinks he's buddies with or was buddies with james gendilfini and so he's got some anecdotes because he was on the set so you can only imagine what kind of a character this guy was right Oh, yeah. Larger than life. I'm sure he's got some stories. They're going to be like, oh, shit, I wish I was there for that. That's fucking awesome.

Gayle Pino was a ball buster. Yeah. Oh, shit. Watch this. You know, he'd break chops. I love James Gandafini because he liked to break chops. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

He's a chops breaker. Yes, of course. Not a ball buster. He's a chops breaker. You know, he'd break chops. I love James Gendophini because. because he liked to break chops. Like, I'd walk in, like, and he'll go, hey, to Dominic Cheney, and he'll go,

hey, you're, yeah, you're standing just walked in. And because Dominic's not that tall. And he's like, I was like, okay, cool, cool. Wow, what a chop breaker. Yeah, breaking chops over here. The defeat he was. Holy shit. Making fun of both of you.

How can anyone survive that? But just don't you just want to grab his little cheeks? They go, whir. Shut up. Shut up. Shut up. You never talking about. Never.

Never. Oh, you were saying something different. You were being cute with it. I see. No, no. No, it's both to shut them up.

I want to shake him. And to celebrate. You know, that's supposed to shake children, but you can shake a small adults, right? Oh, yeah. You're supposed to.

It's recommended. Yeah. Shake some sense into him. Chris was like, if you're not, then what am I fantasizing about? Not right. Oh,

break his chubs. What am I doing a grandma after every meal? Shut up, Grandma. All right. There's an internet personality, Hoop Valley. Did he just discover Mario Bosco? I think so.

The younger generation, they're just finding him again and again. Yeah, I like what people find him for the first time. They don't know what to make him. And we learned seeing Mario through their eyes sometimes. So this is a good example of that. This person has been all over my for you page for being an Italian fraud. so I decided to look them up and it turns out they're a guy

for some reason I thought this was a girl with super short hair and if you ever heard them talk before they sound like a girl but it turns out they're a guy very informative right there that's amazing he got right to it

I remember when I found up that Rosie O'Donnell was a woman yeah I went to the same thing right to social media you guys know this holy shit I wonder what it was like

when Beetlejuice was first introduced to this younger generation what they thought they were looking at So you have another clip on here. Do you want to explain what's going out in this clip before we watch it? I don't know if I can. I don't know what it is. It's one thing disguised as another.

They're talking about people's gates, like how they walk, and they use Murillo Bosco as an example of a certain kind of, maybe you know about it more about it than I do, Carl, a certain kind of clubbed or kind of off kind of limp or walk. But he's dressed. Maybe I knew more about that. I'm just, you know, whoever's an expert chime on in, Chris, anybody. Sure. So they're... I'm hard fucking foot in, you ass, boy. Yeah.

Okay. This was not the San Giro Festival they caught him at. It might have been the Halloween parade or the gay pride parade, but here's Muriel caught in New York. They're pointing out that his foot is not straight. His knees are caved in. It's walking... I ain't going to feel it. I ain't running my sister.

showing that this is Ab Norman. That's how he walks. Yeah. So it seemed maybe a little bit just to do it the way that he walks across the street. I mean,

the diaper doesn't help. The diaper. That was, I think, the point of... Obviously full. And the fact that he used Brendan Shab's music.

I thought that was great. You know, it's kind of suck. I don't want to, you know, feel bad for this weirdo, but it's got to suck to have like a boy's body

and old man knees. it kind of takes out of it, doesn't it? And Ellen's face. Yeah. Yeah. He did motorboat a chick once, though. Or so he says. So he's got that going for him.

Eric did that to like a dozen at once. Wow. Eric had a charmed life. Let's not forget that. All right. There's a guy you introduced us to a few months ago, Boyd Tinsley. Boyd, former violin player for the Dave Matthews band.

Mm-hmm. And a real shredder on the fiddle. Yep. But now he's taking his musical talent in another direction, a strange new direction with his box Z instrument. That's right. That he hammers on over other songs. And we've heard a couple examples of this.

And sometimes it's Dave Matthew, sometimes it's like fish or other jam bands, which is, you know, one thing. If they're just in a groove, you just want to jam around with a groove, you know, a lot of percussionists can do that. But what if it's something that's a little bit more rigid, you know? You know, for example, Joe Cocker is with a little help for my friends. You know, there's rests in there. Yeah.

Those long rests that you're not really sure how many. It's a slow moving song. Yeah, yeah, it's a slow moving song. But you've got to stop together. You got to start together. It's got some cues he can't miss. Right. I mean, we covered this, not to brag.

We covered this in the isotopes a few years back. And yeah, you can't just like keep playing through the whole thing. No. People will notice that. Yes. You know? So I'm sure he's going to, he's going to nail it. Can we run that one together?

Oh, Boyd. God damn it. The whole band stopped. Did you not see all of us stopping? Guys, let's just not stop. How about that? Right, right, right. Let's go along with what Boyd's doing.

Sometimes the singer fucks up with the rest of the band, it's like, okay, yeah, we'll play to the murders. That's fine. Often. Yeah, Joe Cocker's just about to let out that, blah, and boys, and he would,

yeah. What's wrong with him? Can he hear that song? Does he know it's playing? What kind of drugs is he on? What happened to him? Why doesn't he make music anymore? What kind of drugs is he on?

Can you get us those drugs? I want to play percussion on live. He's in Vermont. It can't be too hard. A dresser. Not a dresser. That looks fun. Yeah, that's a great, those are great questions.

Is he trolling the internet? Is he trolling us? Producer Chris is shaking. Is that he thinks he is? Well, I just had that thought right now when he was playing through those breaks. I'm like, okay, he hates music and us. Yeah, this guy has been in a band before. He knows how music works, right?

Well, apparently not. Thank you for that, Adam. Thanks for the update. We appreciate it. I feel better having shared that with you all. All right, let's get into Brendan Schaub. Dum, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb. Because to me, I'm just a, it's literally a blimp in the road, man.

Stupid ass can be. You going through a tough time, and I was like, I just moved to Oz, man. Yeah, I'm trying to find my way. It's, I'm heartbroken about L.A. Now, we haven't talked about it on this show, but Brendan Schaub is selling his house. Like, he moved to Ombudsman. Austin bought this $3 million home and is already selling it. And he was talking about the fact that he didn't realize he had to pay property taxes.

And he goes, did you know, like you never actually own your house? You still have to pay property taxes, even if you buy it outright. And people are like, yeah, right. And so it seems like he couldn't afford the property taxes. He wasn't prepared for that. So he claims he's buying another house a few blocks away in the same school district. But it has more land. You just needed more land.

When we moved here, I didn't know what was going on. And now I have a different house that has more land. I'm guessing that it's worth a lot less and the property taxes are lover. That's what I'm guessing. But there's a lot of Internet sleuths who are watching this. He's expanding. He's expanding. He's building his empire.

I don't know why he needs more land. We're going to play what he does on the weekends. It's not hunting in his backyard. I can tell you that. So I'm not sure. It's not for his cars because he's selling all of those too. Yeah. And the studio that he's like.

in, he's making some changes there. There's a lot of speculation of what's going on with his finances. But there's definitely a new house. It's not just land. Well, that's a good point too, right. He's just setting up a tent. Yeah. Yeah.

Look at this land. A yurt. Isn't this great? Kids love camping. Isn't this fun? All right. This is a question that comes in on his Patreon-only show. And it's a good question, and he addresses it.

I mean, it's the elephant in the room. I want you to point out, I got this from Unique's channel because I'm not on their Patreon. And for some reason, the way Unique records this stuff just destroys the audio. It's very tinny. I apologize for that in advance. How do I address this? I just think it does seem forced. I agree with you 100%.

You know, most of the time I can tell Brian doesn't want to be here. and here's the thing it's not that like me and brian are still close still love brian we still talk all the time wow Brian's not here for these bonus shows they do he's only been to two of them where they do the ask me anything style shows and one of them was like a half an hour and bry's like i gotta go so the fact that he does these he answers these questions about the player in the kid in the future and he goes well it's obvious bryan doesn't want to be here whoa that's pretty fucked up that's the beginning at the end. If you're saying that shit without Brian there.

And also, this is your Patreon, the people who are paying for extra fighter and the kid. And you're saying, like, yeah, it's obvious that no one even wants to do this thing. Your mom and I still love each other. Right. Did you get that sense? Yes. I think you're being very selective and you're picking and choosing what you want to hear. He made it very clear their friendship and personal relationship has never been stronger.

Well, that's actually not the case. and you're going to find out in this next clip. Brendan does have a solution for fixing the show. We don't have much in common anymore. You know, we're like that old married couple and the kids, you know, you're empty nesters and the kids leave the house and you go to dinner. It's like, hey, remember that time?

You're just talking about old stories, you know? So it's like, you know, me and Brian haven't had the conversation. I think we should go down to once a week Wow. I mean, it's just what you thought it was. Yeah. It's like, yeah, we have nothing in common anymore. You know, we're done raising the kids.

So now what? They don't have guests on the show anymore. It's just the two of them sitting next to each other awkwardly looking at a chin. Chin, can you Google something for us to read, please? Chin just bought a Tesla. Yeah. Chin, by the way, is going to argue with Brendan during this episode because Chita's not happy about what he's hearing right here.

Chis was like, dude, I moved to fucking Austin for this. Come on, man. He bought a cyber truck last month. You can't do this to me. Now, I will say, I think fewer episodes is a good idea. I probably would have positioned it differently. I would have presented it differently to the audience, you know? He had like a lack of momentum.

Right. You can't just be like, I know. He doesn't give him a fuck anymore. I'm making him for an hour in here a week. See if that does something. but it is a good idea to do fewer episodes. I've said this about John Melendez. A lot of guys who are just like putting out slop.

You know, we talked about the quartering in the last episode. The quartering doing four shows a day. You're just going to read an article and call it quits? Good idea. What you prep and put a show together first? But that's just a weird way to say. He also suddenly let us know right there that his marriage isn't doing very well. Right.

That was a specific example he had. That's like, dude, not everyone can relate to that. Yeah, that's a good point. So what is he interested in doing? I mean, he made the move out to Austin seemingly for the fighter and the kid. Because Brian Kellman was like, I'm going to Austin. That's what the mother's ship is. That's what the comedy scene is.

I'm a comedian. And Brennan goes, I'm coming with it because we got the fighter and the kid. So if he's like recognizing that Brian's on into it, and he's like, I don't really care. We'll bring it down to a once a week kind of thing. What's he doing? My passion and focus is Shab Show. You know, Chin and I have talked about this.

And it did, for me, I don't know how Jim feels about it. I don't know how the viewers feel about it. It's like, when it comes to fire on the kid, like, dude, we've had a fucking epic run. I'm, you're talking 12, 13 years, man. I mean, epic run. I mean, I'm so grateful for Brian. Me and Brian will always be brothers. Oh, no.

you imagine Adam you just see me out of a show like a Saturday show that you're not on or something I'm just like listen Adam was a brilliant co-host

like when he joined the show I just thought it brought new energy that's my stuff for new life and stuff and we really had a great time together like this is

if you're Brian Cannon and someone sends this to you you're like because I don't think he pays for his own Patreon but someone sends it to you you're like what the fuck is this guy

talking about over here call me first before you start saying and I know Brian and wishes me well in the future. And I know he's a big fan of Shab Show. He wants me to spend more time focusing on that. Shob Show.

Pay me back that loan. What is this? I'm focusing on Shob Show. What about Golden Hour? No one's going to believe that. Isn't that a bigger show than the Shob show? What is Shab Show? He does a show solo where he talks about M.A.

Oh, it's a fighting show. Baseball, yeah. For the most part. Oh, he's the fighter. I imagine being up. Yeah, it turns out. And being a part of any organization where the leader shows up and he says, look, I don't know what the producer wants and I don't know what the audience wants.

Okay, then why are you here? Why are you doing this? Yeah, this is an interesting predicament that he's on. He's been getting hammered by the internet forever. So he's like, fine, I'll address all your questions. And this is like this big idea for a Patreon. We're going to start a Patreon. And I'll just, I'll read the sub write it.

I'll answer the questions. So people are just like, hey, so what's, what's a lot? up with the fighter and the kid it seems like Brian count doesn't give a fuck yeah I know what of that's all he is right just throws his buddy under the bus immediately that's his solution to this um but listen he's excited that uh it worked as well as it did when I first start if you would have been telling me I've been doing this as long as I've been doing it I'm like what the hell so you know I don't view it as a negative thing it's just like sometimes you just things change. Things change. And I think

Brian's getting older. He's not as silly or into the things he used to be. I'm also older. Totally silly. I like this. Brian's like an old. Like, when I'm talking about old, he's like old old, yeah. I'm older. But not like that. I'm fucking geriatric over there. He's putting on weight. We just don't feel the same way about it. Dude, this is so wild. It's like, God, man, this lasted a really long time.

And, you know, Brian used to be funny and interesting. And now he's just kind of like a curmudgeon. It's like, Jesus, dude. And I love the thing that's lacking in the fighting in the kid is silliness. You know, this show used to be just so silly. We're just lacking the silliness that we used to have. But what are you going to do? Brian's an old man.

So silliness has disappeared. It's out the window. And, uh, I don't know. I think part of the problem is that Brendan is actually really boring. And I also feel like I don't have much to say these days. Yeah. Oh, my God. You know, like, the thing I know most is sports, right?

My expertise comes into MMA and football and stuff like that. Yowing at umpires. I'm not saying I'm an expert. I'm saying what I know, whatever little knowledge that is in MMA and football. That's kind of my thing. outside that, you know, I'm coaching my kids' teams and that's my life, man.

That's my life. That's unbelievable. The actual coach is like, what the fuck? Yeah, right. We actually don't want you there. If you stop showing up, that'd be great. So Brian is just like, listen, Brian's not silly anymore and I'm a bore.

I don't know anything about anything. It's like, holy shit. Is he like, is he trying to get fired? Yeah. And you guys want us to do a show together? You're so selfish. Right.

Like, why would you guys even want to watch this? I guess we don't. If he was a stock, if he was a stock, everything he'd be saying would be tanking it. Yes. Every way. Right. Would be losing money with everything he's saying. And as far as I know, he's like the CEO of a fighter and the kid.

Like, he pays briam. Like, he is the fighter and the kid. And so the fact that, like, the CEO is going up having a press conference talking about how the company is shambles is, you're right, tanking the stock right now. So it's like, oh, I guess everyone loses their job. Sorry about that, guys. Whoopsie. Brendan goes on to explain why he's become a bore. And my number one priority is my family and just being happy and not missing practices, not missing games.

I just don't think me and Brian have the same priorities. You know, Brian's touring and Trent McKend's me and stuff like that. Whoa. He just said that Brian. It's hard up for money. Okay. Where else you go with this? So I just feel like we've grown apart in that regard.

You know, so it makes a show tough. It makes a show tough. And, you know, I think if he came to Brian, like, yo, we'll give you this amount of money. And he's not, you know, stressed about stuff. He would probably stop doing firing the kid, I assume. Holy shit. he's just he's just speaking for Brian

yeah Brian's just do this for a paycheck if he wasn't making money on this thing he would definitely not do it he hates it here and he's old and serious if he was actually a good comic that made money touring like good comics do he wouldn't even do this show look at the there's some bitterness here too

like he feels like Brian's turned his back on him there's a lot going on in this this answer to the square He's not going on. He's having a full on midlife crisis and he's kind of putting it all on to this guy because anybody that's watched his social media knows his family life is not. His wife is like stepping out as this influencer in a very public way that it never smacks of a relationship going well, but I'm not going to read anything else into it other than he went to Texas and thought he was just going to continue to live the way he was living before without any, you know, thought about down. sizing and there's an entire record label. He's the CEO of a record label that's sitting there waiting for their next move and their next album and I guess they're all going to be fired. What happened to built different?

What happened to thick boy for life? Right. What happened to built like a machine, train like a machine. Now it's like, I want to do what makes me happy. I thought this shit made you happy. That's why we were funding a Patreon. That's the point of it. Yeah, that's such a cop out to be like, guys, I just want to hang on my family and just

watch my son play baseball and, you know, Brian doesn't want to be here either. So don't get mad at me about this. Like, he's the one who's phoning in even more than I am. Brian's not interested in being happy the way I am. Well, there's definitely some animosity here because when Brendan made the move to Austin, what was that a year ago or so, I remember that he was pissed because Brian Kenlin went on this long vacation. It was like an Italian cruise with his family.

like as parents and stuff like that. So Brian missed like a few weeks in a row. And Brenz was like, dude, what the fuck? I move here. We get the studio set up and you're nowhere to be fine. I told you on vacation, man. And I thought you were kidding. Right.

I had no idea. You're actually going to come to Austin. I thought you'd make a visit and realize you hate this place. But yeah, I think there's like bitterness about that ever since then where it's like, dude, I uprooted my life. My kids are playing baseball with losers now here in Texas. I did this all for you and you don't even give a shit. I think he's angry. I think he's angry at Brian Callen.

And also, this is just a weird way to be where you're... Granted, we've already seen Brendan do this, where he's like, I'm quitting stand-up because of my family. Like, the family's like this convenient excuse for things that are failing or he doesn't want to do. Why aren't you get at the fighting the kid anymore? Oh, because I love my family so much. would they say the same thing?

We asked them. What about Gearheads gone wild on Tooby? I don't understand. Yeah, he does have other projects going on. But it's crazy that he says things like this. You know, I don't know. I don't know. It's a conversation we've got to have. I think once a week is smart right now.

And then if that doesn't kind of bring Callan back, then you shut it down. And I think that's okay. We've been doing it so long. Okay. Now, this is like a couple that's fighting. You're like, we're having too much sex. What if we just have less sex that maybe we'll love each other more?

Why does he think that once a week is going to like reinvigorate something? That would be a good analogy, but he just said this is a conversation we have to have. Yes. He's having it without him. That's crazy. Yeah. And I'm glad he is because it's great fodder for us and great content. Yeah.

But what he should have said to answer. that question is like, you know what, it's long overdue. Brian and I need to sit down and talk this out. I have some ideas. I have some thoughts. I'll run it by him. We'll get back to you. Rather than just like, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to call him out. We're going to give him less money. I'm going to see if he still wants to be here when I start paying him less. Let's see if that happens. And everyone just be quiet until that happens, okay? Right. Don't tell him. This is literally like Howard Stern. Howard Stern took another couple of weeks off just recently. like he almost never does live shows and the reason is because serious is like we're not going to pay you very much money so here's how much money we'll give you and Howard's like well to save face I'll just work like 80 days a week or 80 days a year and they're like sure if we don't care I think this is he tried to do the same thing with Brian Kell I'm just like hey man I'm going to start paying you a bunch less money so once a week that is that cool we're going to say Adam oh no this has the vibe of uh

that comedian who was dumped by Shane Gillis and Shane like wasn't returning her calls. Yeah. So she had to pop on a podcast to like try and get her Billy Joel records back. He's like acting like he has no access to Callum and like, well, you know, if he ever returned my calls, we could figure this out. But until then I'm just stuck here. It's like just talk to him. I'm sure he would love to be done. Did it start with like their best buds still and all that kind of stuff?

Closer than ever. That's strongest can be. And let's not forget that these guys revolutionized podcasting. I don't think it's not a sad story. You know, we're pioneers in the space, especially as a duo. The first, you know, I was the first professional athlete ever to have a podcast. And we're really the first duo in podcasting. So we've inspired a lot of people.

We've put a lot of people on. I don't think either of those things are true. I'd be surprised if they were the first professional athlete with a podcast and the first duo to ever podcast? First two. All right. If you say so, man, I guess. Yes, sure, why not. So they were pioneers, and he's very proud of their accomplishments.

And look at, he's not as optimistic as some people are, like Chin, their producer. Chin's very optimistic about how things are going to go. You know, Chin's always been an optimist, and I know fans are like, oh, do this to bring it back. And I just don't think you can. I just don't think you can. So you see how he, like Chin, who pointed out, is pretty invested in Austin, making big purchases the cyber truck. And so he's just like, come on, man.

Let's breathe some life into this thing. It's the fight of the kid going again. We got a brand. Let's put some work into it and make this happen. And Brett is just like, that ship is sailed, man. It's never going to be good ever again. Remember on that song, On My Way? When they're like, I'm not saying that I made it, but I'm on my way.

And they're running through the studio and they're throwing the money. The only way this would make sense is if the camera just like falls while he's talking. Because Chin's like gone. Yeah. Well, it's great because Chin starts arguing with Brendan Because Chin's hearing all of this and going like, what the fuck? Why are you quitting the show? The guy just asked a question on our Patreon only episode.

You're ending the show over this? This is crazy. I was wondering if Brendan could see him reacting and that's why he threw in the optimist thing. Yeah. I think that they've had conversation. I know Chin's going to be cool about this. Well, so Brendan pointed out the reason why the show is not good anymore in half. to end is because Brian is 59

years old and he's not silly anymore. So Chin decides to argue this point for some reason. This is the dumbest argument I've ever heard on a podcast. You can still be 59 and be silly. I don't, I think that's a problem to him. I don't think you can. Name a 59 year old who's silly like they were when they were 30. No, I'm saying. Even stand-up comics, they get really old and

age. They're still really funny. Not on podcast. Name what? Oh, wait, on a podcast? Yep. Name a comic who hosts a podcast who got funnier and sillier as they got older. So I'm glad you picked up on that. And this is the dumbest conversation I've ever heard. She's just like, dude, people can be in their 60s and 70s and be funny and silly. Like you see it all the time.

Yes. Stephen Fry has a podcast. Stephen Fry is funny. Right. But Brennan's like, that is true. But not on a podcast. She's like, oh, interesting. Not on a podcast, you say.

That's what John does when he says he's not an alcoholic Because he doesn't whatever the qualifier is I don't fall asleep puking every night I don't wake up and like whatever it is So it's very funny It's not Brian's fault you know People just get lame as they get older It's just you know how things happen

So Chin tries to figure out like I'm sure I come up with some examples Of guys who are still funny even as they get older And are podcasting Well, I don't listen to Mark Merrin, but is Mark Merrin silly at all on a podcast? That's my point. Mark Barron's the worst. No, he got grumpy.

I'm looking at older, older people. Dude, he got grumpy and salty and not funny at all. He's the prime example, Bubba. Rogan, he's part of the... Do you think Grogan's gotten sillier? No, no, not sillier, but he's still silly. He's so funny. I don't know.

Let me do some research. I'll get back to you. You don't want to have to have. this conversation, Bubba. You ain't going to win this one. I'm not trying to win anything. I'm just saying, like, I don't really do the research on, you know, how old is Lucy K?

Does he even do podcasts? No. Yeah, this is you digging yourself. Your point is straight up podcasting. It's straight up podcasting. Okay, my thing was more like if you're older and age, it doesn't matter if you're like 80, 60, whatever.

You're still funny. If you're funny, you're funny. But that doesn't translate to podcasting. What? What are you talking about? If you're funny, you're funny, but never on a podcast. No, funny people can be funny on a podcast. No, it goes away.

It goes away. What is this argument that he has? A-R-P. It says it. You can't have both. I will give Freddie credit when he said Mark and Barrett. I was like, well, okay, that's the worst. Don't start there.

The worst possible example. There's no more whimsy and rock. Look at the cure. Right, yeah, right. Thank you. That's the problem with that. But for some reason, this argument gets dumber and dumber. because Brendan just thinks

they're like podcasting has its own rules so you can be a funny stand-up comedian when you're older but definitely not a funny podcaster We're talking about podcast If it's just a lot about stand-up

I'm sure Brian stand-up's great I'm sure He hasn't even seen his friend Brian stand-up What the fuck? That's wild right there Listen I'm sure Brian's still capable stand-up comedian I don't know Who would possibly know

I haven't seen it He just put on a special recently So this dumb conversation continues And the way they're arguing it, Adam, It's as if this is quantifiable. It's as if like Moody can build a chart and be like, actually, I'll show you, you know, when you turn 59, how silly you are And how you can maintain the silliness.

That doesn't exist, but they seem to have it all figured out. No, no, you're saying like as you get older, you can't still be the dick joke guy and always fucking around. They just, it doesn't, it's never happened. The dick joke guy is different, but you're saying, can you still be silly? That you were saying that, that's basically, you're saying like, he's 15 an. Why would he, why would he be silly? Like, how would that be, you could still be silly.

Again, name somebody who's gotten sillier and funnier and-er and- I don't stand-up comics. I mean, you only just Google, like, who's old stand-up comics? No. He just wants to win the argument Yes He's going to googling anything He's really bullying him the way he looks at him

Yeah Just sitting there in silence staring like really You're gonna cross me It's dark Yeah chin shut the fuck up I know what I'm talking about You don't

Yes I'm in the chat about Gilbert Godfrey That's not a bad example But whatever It's such a dumb argument It's such a dumb point to make It's like there's no way The show could be good anymore Brian turned 59

It's over What else are we gonna do Can we get the Reverend Bob leaving here. He fits all of these qualifications. He's gotten silly. He's podcasting. He's dick jokes, the whole thing. Yep, that is a good point. He's like, you think you can tell dick jokes if you're

59? He's like, well, no. Obviously, they can't do that. But he got me there, boss. What are you talking about? So, yeah, Brendan, you pointed this out just now, Adam. He's getting angry during this conversation. We're talking about fighter and the kid. We're talking about a podcasting.

Yeah, it's different. Of course it's different. But no, we thought the fuck we're talking about you said, straight up, he's 59. How could he be silly at 59? On a podcast, buddy. All right, we got that's fucking show. Okay, if it's on a podcast, that's fine one.

I love me. He's just like, no, we're talking about the fighter and the kid. Our show sucks now. You're the producer. You watch every episode. You're the problem. You're not funny. It's not a silly or fun.

You know that, right? I like to be like on a podcast. It can't be good. No, on your podcast, Brendan. on your podcast is the problem. I was certain that was the voice he uses when he talks to his kid, and then he did it. He called him buddy in all of his tiger stories.

That's what he says. This is baseball, buddy. This is baseball. Yeah. Yeah, he really is looking down at Chin right here. I have one more clip, and this is, you'll get a kick out of this because Chin is still thinking, like, ah, there's got to be someone that I can come up with

that's going to ruin this argument. You know, when he was guest driven, it was a different time. We all lived close. We're all in the same building. How old is Bill Burr? And you think Bill Burr's gotten sillier. He's funny. You're confusing things, buddy.

On a podcast, he's for me. And he's by himself, Chin. Yeah. He doesn't have guests. Again, go to Bill Burr 10 years ago. All right, dude. You know? Wow.

Bill Burr, Chin. I mean, Mark Merritt and Bill Burr, there are terrible examples that you're coming up with. on here. Bill has never been more bitter and unfoddy on the shell. Poor chin. That he is. Now, I know. He's just like, all right, dad. Fine. Maria Bamford.

Martin Short. That's a good example. In the chat. Dana Carvey is still being very silly on fly on the wall. Too silly, in my opinion. These are kind of down a little bit. Pump the brakes there. Dana Carvey.

So that's wild. I checked out the fighter and the kid's most recent episode from this week because that happened last week. So I'm like, they must address this. Brian Kell must come in and be like, what's going on? What are we going to one day a week? I heard all this shit. They never bring it up once.

No. Just not can talk about. Brian's got a black guy. I love him. It's crazy that this happens. And then they don't even discuss it. They just do a regular episode talking about UFC fights and we're supposed to think that, there's nothing to it.

I pictured Brian coming home early in the rain with his bags, like standing outside his doorstep, like what? Nope. So I guess we know how Brennan really feels, and I guess they'll keep going through the motions. We'll see how much longer that lasts, but I'm here for it. I'll be watching. If that wasn't enough, it's time for our... Gringe of the week. Cringe of the week.

Now, Adam, you brought some cringe of the weeks. I did. For us. And I did. What is going on? This is Beth Stern on the beach. Yeah, it took a little trip. We always see him working.

It was nice to see him out, having fun. Who posted this? I don't know, some piece of shit. That's funny. So it's just about sitting next to a TV where Howard is in his basement doing his broadcast. That's fun. That's something everyone can enjoy. All right.

Corey Feldman is on the streets here in Beverly Hills. And there are some rabbis. Not rabbis. Just Jews. Just Jews. They're Jews. But they want to be a rabbi someday, right? No, no.

Feldman wants them to be rabbis, but they keep telling him that they are not. Okay. And they're going to bar mitzvah, Corey, for some reason? Nope, but that's what he wants it to be. So that's just what it's going to be. Sorry. Okay. Brooke.

Atah. Adanai. Adonai. Al-Ochanu. Melah. Malak. Malam. Al-Aam.

Al-Aam. Al-Mittishana. Kishwana. Mimitvah. Mitzvah. Mitzvah. Mitzvah. Mimimim.

Very nice. I'm getting a on the street in front of mulberry pizza here in Beverly Hills on the street, getting a Street Bar Mitzpah Right here. It's happening. Two rabbis on the street. Are you rabbi Shmuli? Not yet. Yet to be.

Yet to be. Soon to be. Working on the rabbi status. Got it. Yes. But I knew the actual Rabbi Shmoli or no the rabbi. You know Rabbi Shmuli who words with Michael Jackson. I love that.

You guys, I actually know the real Rabbi Shmulee. Like, yeah, which one? That's like saying, like, my friend Dave. You know Dave, right? You know Father John? Yeah. Which one are you guys talking about? John.

Yeah, yeah. He really... Do you know him? He's also a rabbi. You know him. So, anyway, that's Corey's misadventures, as he tries to assimilate. And then you have one more,

cringe of the week, our buddy, Aaron Imholt, from the Steeltoe Morning Show. Aaron's getting really into Catholicism lately. And if you follow this little piggy, a show that I do on Fridays, we've let you know, So Aaron thinks that maybe a sex demon was forcing him to be in that polycule.

Yeah. And. Not Nick Ricketa, like an actual demon. He thinks that he was possessed by a demon that he was able to exercise because he drinks holy water or splashes out of nuts or I'm not sure what he's doing with the holy water. But he goes to Sunday Mass. And so now the demon's like, ah, I got out of here. Or whatever. So Aaron's got a lot of thoughts.

like demons and stuff, talking about pop music. Sad at all, that's awesome. Good for him. You can't be on top of the music world forever unless you literally sell your soul to buy all. Beyonce is clearly a Satanist. Jay-Z is clearly sold his soul to Satan. Well, that's true.

People are demonic, so they'll stay on top forever. But if you're like sugar, if you're in your 50s and you're playing county fairs, you know what that means? That probably means that you stay. true. And you didn't become a filthy demonic Satanist. Taylor Swift, are you fucking kidding?

I have a take on this. Uh-huh. I think this is Aaron, who used to make $20,000 a month on Twitch when he left the radio. He's now broadcasting to 300 people, 200 people live during his live stream, missing the goal, begging for money. He's like, yeah, that proves that I'm a good guy. Yep. Because I'm less successful than I used to be.

The isotopes still have their souls. That is very true. We have not sold out to Satan. He's just like, not by... You haven't given over to... No, that didn't blow. That's a fucking guy. What do you think about his newfound faith, Adam?

I think it's going to really get him into trouble, and it might have already, because he can only adopt the pose of someone teaching you something. And you cannot enter a religion and talk about it in that way. You have to be humble. You have to be a servant. You have to be ready to learn.

You can't be at this position of power and all-knowing explaining to us how it is. Because as it was in that bit when he talks about these demons, all his chat is full of people that believe. And they're like, no, that's not how this works at all. And it sounds like you're making excuses. Yeah, that is so true. Even at one point was talking about trying to save someone. Oh, well, it was Ethan Ralph, I think, or Scarlett or someone. just like, well, I got to tell you.

It was Ethan Rolf. We called out of the show. He's like, well, I got to tell you about fighting Jesus. And I know there's a Catholic church near you in Mexico. You know, that's part of my mission. I have to tell you that. It's like, Catholics don't believe that at all. Catholics don't like try to sell you on their bullshit.

Yeah, right. Yeah. They just kind of like believe their thing. And they're like, oh, we got to figure it out. You do you. But yeah, you're right. Aaron doesn't know it all. Can't help himself.

And he never remembers. He's a convicted sex offender. We remind him. Save yourself. Save yourself, buddy. Like, don't worry about everyone else. Yesterday's episode, Opie is making new thumbnails. You got someone working for him who's figured out a great way to make thumbnails using AI.

And the pollen apocalypse, the robots are winning. It's the name of the episode. Look at that. These New Yorkers standing right at Pollen Boulevard and Asma Ave. That's their first mistake right there. Oh, right. Especially if they don't like pollen. Wrong side of town.

Who the fuck would click on this? I've been noticing this too, and I go to Opie's channel. Because what he'll do is he'll re-upload his show as audio only on YouTube. And I want to see the video one. Because Ron gets really close to the camera and it annoys me. I'm a glutton for punishment. And so I'll see like a thumbnail like this and I'll think, oh, this must be the audio. It's not.

It's the video one. but who would see that and be like, I hope it's just like two losers complaining about stuff with no real plan in place. No robots. There's no robots. What the fuck?

Where do you want to begin with this, Adam? I mean, he's turned the podcast into just his therapy and his need for friends and his need to express himself, which I guess he doesn't get to do in his regular life. And that's it. He's not doing a show. He's not interested in it.

He's not interested in building a relationship. of this co-hosts. It's just let me talk about my feelings and hide from my family and feel better. And it's very transparent. He goes out of his way to try to create a, we're having fun all the time attitude in this opening and pretends that he doesn't know they're rolling. We've got to go live in a second or two here. No, what kind of medicine? What kind of medicine? A lozenge? Is it a lozage? What do you, what do you showing me. Onezies? What's a onesie? Honey's. Oh, honey's. You're eating

milk and honey-filled cough drops. You know why? Why? Fucking hayfee. The bad issue. Hey, Fever, Ronnie. Oh, we're live. Hey, Ron. Good morning to you. Welcome to the Opie Radio podcast. We just start babbling as we see each other on the screen. And Ron wasn't here yesterday. Huh?

Adam, they're just guys like us. They're just people. Just like we get on the stream before we start the show and we just have a conversation with each other. That's what they do too. That's amazing. It's very relatable and very believable. Even the big podcasters out there like, Opie.

Just a guy just talking about taking a lozage. You're like, what are you sneezing? What are you sneezing? Oh, it's sneezing at him. Sneezy at him. And I'm laughing and getting my papers together. Holy shit. That is torturous.

It's bad. It's getting worse. It's so forced that the second Ron injects anything real. It kills Opie's vibe and he has to go, huh? Mm-hmm. Which he does a lot now, which John does too.

He can't handle anything. Anything somebody says sets him off. Well, this next one is a classic example of how not to be a boss in today's workplace. Huh? We're in love. I was in the middle of the intro and you had to tell everybody we're in love.

Well, you better. You're competing with Tony because he said, I love you yesterday to me. I think he's trying to get on my good side. I think he's all you, buddy. He's all you is. I think once a week, Tony is trying to get to twice a week, Tony. And he said yesterday at the end of the live stream that he loves me. I feel like, Opie really needed that too.

Don't you? So he's trying to be like, who loves me more? Maybe you could tell me you love me a little bit more often. Hope we should team up with Ava. Ava loves selling people. She loves them. or John for that matter. Those two losers.

Continue to talk about loving each other all the time. And once a week, Tony made it clear he just wanted to be once a week. Yeah. Yeah. It's good. He's good with that. Pressuring that guy for more, pitting his employees against each other to win over his affection. This is a recipe for a great company that he's building.

He thinks it's going to be a success? I think it's already like in the gutter. Yep. I think it's failing miserably. He was talking about a Dutch crutch. Frank and then he was saying he loves me. And I had to awkwardly say I love him back, even though I don't love him. I don't love any guy.

I've never loved a guy. I've kissed a couple guys, but I've never loved them. Hold on a second. You don't we just say he's kissed a couple guys? Yep. Gay. Why would you kiss a couple guys? Like one guy, I got it, just to make sure I don't like it.

You're right. Yeah. But see what just happened for the first time in a long time. you're interested in what he has to say next. Yes. He said I kissed a couple guys. You're like, I want to hear what he has to say about it. He knows what the audience wants.

Yeah. So let's find out more about that, Opie. And as far as kissing guys, I could just leave that right where it is today. I can explain it. I can explain it nice and easy. Please. But I'm not going to. I'm just going to leave there.

Opie finding says something provocative. It's like, tell that story. He's like, nope. All right. Fine. Wait for the next thumbnail. Yeah, all right. So anyway, you were getting envelopes at the store today and there's next to maxi pads or something.

Opie. Jesus Christ, this fucking guy. Can never be interesting. Segways from that into like, what do you got, Ron? Right. Yes. It's always like, okay. Now you do something fun.

Yes. The reason one day a week, three topic Tony had to fill in is because dear old Ronnie boy is shooting a pilot. for the TV networks. Ooh. You know, maybe because of me. Hold on a second. Yep. He's filming a pilot for the TV networks.

Yeah. As one does. It's not a film, Carl. But he's hoping, like, odd TV network will pick it up. Is that why he's saying that? Yes. Huh.

Okay. It's an independent pilot, independently funded, that they are going to shop to networks. Okay. is what I'm gathering from how he's very specifically saying. Okay. This show is going to turn into something.

Oh, stop with that, Rod. You're nasty. By the way, let me tell you something. Yeah. This is a serious project. The sound guy is actually Oliver Stone's sound guy on movie sets. Is that good? Is that good?

Why is it? Why are we so jealous right now? That's nasty. What does that mean? What was that? Yeah, what does he mean by that? Like, is he, Ron being nasty to Ope? Because Ron's actually doing something?

I don't think he knows. It just came out. Radio. It's Oliver Stone sound guy. Is that good? I imagine. Yeah. It's not bad. You've heard of Oliver Stone, right?

Movie Maker. He must know something about sound. I don't know. He's so good. He only has one sound guy. It's the fucking cameraman for Blue Bloods. Like, this is like a... The amount of equipment was crazy.

Oh, I know. Well, I don't know anymore. All right. Anyway, how's the hay fever? Jesus. No follow up. Wow. Your friend is doing something interesting and is excited about it.

And O'Ber's just like, tell you about your ailments again. But you're in a bad mood, though, right? Go back to eating a onesie. He did another one of those things. He said some words that he didn't know what they meant. What did he say there? Well, well, this, I can't believe this is that. What did he say?

Yeah. Yeah, what did he say after that? I don't even know. He's just like having an out-a-body experience. Is actually Oliver Stone's sound guy on movie sets. Is that good? And the cameraman is the fucking cameraman for Blue Bloods. Like this is like a...

The amount of equipment was crazy. Oh, just crazy. Well, I don't know anymore. All right. So dismissive. He's so dismissive. He wants nothing to do with this conversation. He's like, oh, you're doing something outside of what we're doing here?

Let's never talk about it again. Please don't bring it up. He's having a hard. hard time processing this. This is a negative for him. Yes. Oh, yeah. He's like something good has happened into Ron. Well, I just don't know anymore. So Ron, Ron's promoting this on his Instagram. Of course, Ron Berman Comedy. The name of Instagram. And there he is filming this pilot. On set making movie magic, he writes. No, I know it looks exactly like he photoshopped himself onto a movie set. Like, that is what it

would look like. That is actually him. He's like the least photogenic person. And that's me. saying that. That's wild right there. But it's a real set with a real budget. It's exactly how he described it. You think Opie would be like, who's writing it? Who's in it? Yeah. Like, do they want to do the podcast? How'd you get in it? How'd they find you? Where'd the money come from? Right. So many things. So many things you could ask from this. But instead, Ron starts talking about something else that's nonsensical. And Opie's got really good instincts. Do you know the backstory of that? Oh, God.

I'm sure you're going to tell us. No, but I'm asking, do you know it? Oh, God, I know and I don't care. He's an ex-con who learned out. All right. So they're talking about Dave's Bread Company, the story behind that. And, Opie, repeat after me. Yes, and.

Not no, and I don't care. Your co-host is trying to tell you a fun story. Oh, God, I know, and I don't care. He's an ex-con. who learned how to bake bread in prison. And then he turned that into a fucking multi-million dollar fucking business. All right. I got problems with that.

You know, first of all, now I'm glad you told me because that's an interesting story. You got a guy in prison. He made something of himself. He's like, I'm going to make bread in prison. Here's the problem. Where do you think he got the yeast from, Ron? What does Opie say next? All right.

So I know the answer. Let's leave this to Chris. So Opie likes that story because it's not about Ron's accomplishments. And so he's like, oh, okay, now I can make a hilarious joke about this. So he's making bread in prison. Where did he get the yeast from? Adam, I'll let you read the multiple choice people can play along at home. A, from an expensive hippie organic health food store.

B, between its balls and thighs. C. A prostitute, a whore. D. ripe fruits like grapes or figs. E. Ronnie's mouth. Chris, what do you think it is?

It's really one of those? Yes, it really is one of those. Balls. I think he was kind of rubbing between his ball bag and his thigh to get some yeast to get the bread to go. That's where he got his training in. That's what I think. Good stuff, Opie.

Good stuff. Games shows are easy. Yeah, he was like, yeah, I know it's kind of laziness this guy's going to have. Yes. I'm ashamed myself for knowing. No, it's, it was pretty obvious. That's how I feel every week. And there's no Cardiff when it comes to the multiple choices.

We're able to figure that one out. Cardiff game is coming up later on, by the way. To poke a dabbler. Cars not a roll lately. We appreciate. All right. So Ron starts talking politics. And Opie, he does an impression here.

So this is more for the video audience. But this is dynamite stuff. Who's the FBI director, Patel? Patel. Nash Patel, Stad. What the fuck's his name? Cash. Cash.

Dude, give me a break, Cash Patel. That is, it sounds like Tango and Cash. Wait, you're not going to acknowledge my Cash Patel impression? Oh, that's cool. I thought you would just hope, I don't. He looks like a psycho. Good stuff, Opie. You know, if your co-host doesn't notice,

it? Maybe it wasn't that great. It's like, I know you joke about this yes-end thing, but he needs to take an improv class. He does. Like, he's the guy who stops the improv and says, no, do what I say. Yep. He really is so bad at this.

So, Ron starts talking about this soda company out of New England, out of his area that is very popular. It's called Moxie. And again, Opie's just not having any of this. Moxie.

I don't think I've ever heard. That's a big New England thing. M-O-X-I-E. Google it. Like, does it come up? No, I don't feel like Googling it. So the people. And look, Moxie was hoping they would take over the world and take on Pepsi and Coke,

and it just stayed in your little New England area. No one wanted your Moxie outside Boston, you weirdo. Opie, repeat after me. Yes, and Jesus Christ. Rodway hasn't worked so hard on this goddamn show. Also, Opie said he didn't know anything about it. turned citing facts. Right, yeah.

And plus it sucks. Okay. I also thought we're supporting the little guy with the little podcast, just trying to get an audience. Right. Like, no one cares about them outside of the Tri-Stad area, so fuck them. Yeah, that's also a pretty good point. So then Opie's are talking about Wawa's. Because, you know, that's the stuff that he knows that Ron doesn't know.

No, let me tell you something, Ron. Wawa kicks D&D's ass. I don't even know what that is. No, but the kid. I don't want you to know. How about that? Wawa? Yeah, we don't need you in our Wawa.

Wawa, that's what baby's say. I'm not going to tell you what Wawa is because we don't want you there. We don't want your kind there. I don't want to go to a place that sounds like a fucking baby. Wawa. You already said that joke. Yeah, you're missing out on some good Sambo's. Moxie, what was it?

Soda? Yeah. Yeah, it doesn't even come up. Yes, it does. On a little thing called Google, it doesn't even come up. Harry, Grandpa. Yeah. I'm sure you Google.

correctly it's Google's fault that it doesn't know what you're talking about. I like that Ron, at least he like tries to roll with stuff, but he just says the same joke over forever again. Yeah, yeah, yeah, like a baby. Yeah, right, right, right. Wawa. Yep, got it. Good stuff. Opie's genuinely pissed at him.

Yep. It's like if they were kids playing, he'd just be like, no, you can't have the truck. No, you can't use that. Whatever he's doing. So this is another post from Ron. And Ron is making movie magic with my co-star Ron Barba. and so,

aka MAGA for Mom Dani. So this is the TV pilot that he's filming right now. There's another photo with him and the star of the show. And spoiler, it's very exciting.

This guy is going to be the guest on Opie show from this morning, the next morning. Yeah. They get this guy to come on and be a guest to promote this. And this is a vid from Ron social media where he shows he's actually

filming this movie or this this pilot here's the big shoot the big the big shoot oh look at it's Ron Baba we're doing that's right that's right that's right that's it television game that's it

I'm Ralph all right so that's going to be our exciting guest coming on Opie show the next morning this is the guy that Ron's making a pilot with. Do we learn anything about why Ron's a part of this? They're shooting it at the Bohemian Beer Garden where I believe they both work and are waiters,

or at least I know Ron is, and Ron is playing a waiter there. I don't know that they're the stars of it, but I know they have a couple days work on it. And Ron Barba, we know from the MAGA for Momdami campaign, which supported Mamdami early on and went viral and has given him a very large platform where he's, going to meet Mondami, I think this week with MSNBC as part of some special. And he's raised a lot of money and awareness with that campaign. That's exciting. So this TV show is going to get picked up.

Ron's going to become a huge star. O'Bie's going to be so bitter and pissed off about it. So I'm looking forward to this. I'm looking forward to Ronnie Radio. I am team Ron Berman on this one for sure. So fast forward to this morning's episode. Let's look at the cool thumb. Now, Magapur, Momdani, that's the name of the episode, because they have this guy as a guest on.

And for some reason, they're in a diner, and Opie Radio is shooting a meatball gun. Still got it. Is that supposed to be Mom Donnie? Who's he shooting the meatballs at? Something like that. Yeah, it looks like it. Kind of looks like. I mean, it looks like they fed those words into AI, and this is what it vomited it up.

This is terrible. Why is he posting things like this? is the thumbnail. Who told us? He hates looking at his face with his small eyes. Before we get into your clips, I want to point out there was finally an update on Gevhards.

Forever. There was a weekly podcast. I was from Gevhards. You know, you had Matt there, and that's where we met Ron the waiter originally. We had some other guys, that Trump guy,

that like to buy Trump sneakers and stuff. And then there was that guy who did the Trump impression. Do you remember him? Oh, yeah. He is officially off the show. show because people were fucking with him on social media for being friends with Hopi. He might be a guy to get on this show to talk to about that.

Might be interesting. But let's first get an update on what's going on with Gepphart. All right. Well, that's great. But I'm going to advise Joyce to make sure she doesn't bring enough for you when she brings her trees of food to get parts and tells Matt, just heat this up for $3.50 for 15 minutes. Also, she puts Matt to work with her food. It's one of my favorite things.

And Matt looks at me like, what the fuck is going on with your friends? I'm like, look, she's, she's generous. She made food for all of us. All you have to do is heat the shit up, Matt. And Matt's like, I'm running a bar, Ope. I guess that's why we don't do get parts anymore. So this is very telling.

So Obie's always been a pain in this guy's ass, you know, from the get-go. before he even knew the guy. He would just show up at this bar with this stupid Zoom recorder and just start having loud conversations these podcasts he was recording. Eventually, he got to know Matt,

and Matt became part of the show. And they take over the front of the bar and people who come in have to walk through them in order to get into the bar. And it's also where the pinball machine is and it's just a pain in the ass these people set up there. And I've said for a while,

Matt's finally like, Opie, I can't be bothered with this horse shit anymore. And so Ron's just like, well, maybe it's because your friend show up and want him to cook their food for. them. And listen to Opie's response. You're very telling. Gaparts anymore. No, we're doing

get parts again. I just, you know, there's no reason why we're not doing get parts if you want to know the truth. I had to tap out when I blew out my back. All right, the other thing I want to bring together, you were asking about. Oh, wow. We're moving out quickly from that. Oh, no, no, no. We're still

doing Gap parts. There's no reason why we wouldn't, if you want to know the truth. Mattio. I think you're going to following out with his buddy, Maddie. Yeah. And he's upset about it. That's what I think it's going on. He was annoyed by having to heat up some food.

He certainly didn't appreciate the podcast yelling and screaming drumpingly in the front door. Especially when the weather gets nice. People are walking by. They're cat calling. Any attractive woman who walks by. Open window. How many people have not gone in because of them? And Matt most finally yelled at him.

And I wish I was there for that. Yes. And so, you know, Ron doesn't know about this. He brings up a sore subject. Opie with his tell, if you want to know the truth, that's the Opie tell. So Opie starts off the episode this morning, really putting Ron in his place. And I think it's because he's been stewing on this thing.

Ron's got an opportunity. He's filming this pilot. We're going to have this guy on who's gone viral to be on the show. Ron brought him onto the show for me. Maybe Ron's going to get too big for his britches. And we've got to put him in his place. By the way, I remember when I first started doing this show. You know what you said to me?

Well. I mean, I do want to do a show with Opie and Ron, but I wanted to be Ron Bennington. Yeah. He said that to me. Yeah. And I went, who's Ron Bennington? I still want to do it with Ron Bennington if you want to know the truth. If he could get healthy again, yeah, I would absolutely do that in a second.

I would be like, see you later, waiter. It's actually not bad. I'll give you credit to opium on that. one see you later later i've never said that's kind of fun i'm gonna start saying that now can't you picture um when uh opi's dad is asking opi's mom are you still in love with your best friend's husband and that's why you named gregg after him and she just like looks at him just like that's like yeah yeah i wish it was him yeah i don't want to be with you i hate this i want to be with her he does have the same mental illness as his mom.

You're right. That's what he lived with because that's just fucking cold. Like, you know you're breaking the guy's heart and you're letting him know, you know, and you enjoy it. Yeah, and he's saying it without a smirk, like, no charm or anything. Like, you can bust balls and I can say shitty things that producer Chris and he'll only cry a little bit because I kind of wink a little bit. Yeah, we break chops.

Yeah. We're breaking chops over here. But Opie does it without even a smirk, just a, yeah, no shit around that. have Ron Bennington on the new. You're a fucking loser. I gotta say Ron walked into that, though. He did. He did invite it. Yeah. It's a tie. But then Opie goes on, because now that he's been fueled by this, he has to go out and start punching down some more. Oh, okay. See you later, waiter. See you later. Maybe you can serve me some, some beer and wings someday. It was fun, but I'm going to go work with the other, Ron. You know that, you know that on Fridays, it's the Opie, Anthony, and Ron show.

and everyone gets so excited because they're thinking, oh, my God, Opie and Anthony are back, and they brought Ron Bennington on? Everyone? Yeah. It's excited. Name one person. What are you talking about?

No one thinks that's true. And then I have to explain, well, the Anthony is a guy named Tony P. We call him Tony P. I don't have to say Anthony, by the way. And then the Ron guy is another ride. Jesus. What a villain.

What a ghoul. Yeah, you know, it would be great is if I've actually had Anthony Coomia and Ron Bennington and so I'm stuck with you fucking losers because everywhere I go, they're disappointed that it's you. They're happy to see me but you. All right. So

we're going to talk about this pilot because that's the guest who's on the show and so we got to plug this TV show they're filming. Ron, how are our scenes? How was it working with Ron? He cares, Ron. He's funny as can be. You know he's a funny

man. Yeah, no one cares. They're shooting a pilot at Bohemian Beer Guards. So listen. They hope you. Repeat for me. Yes. And what is wrong with this retired?

Nobody cares. Shut up. It's like you invited his co-star to be on the show. I imagine there's a reason for that. He's just trying to talk about Ronnie's hay fever. Why can't he get through it? Right. So, yeah, Opie's not having any of this.

And so this other, Ron, Ron Barba, is, uh, decides like, all right, I'll get Opie on board with this. We'll get him involved in the show. But the thing is, is I was supposed to, Ron and I are doing the show this Saturday night at the Bohemian Beer Garden, which, oh, we'd love if you, if you showed up. Right. It'd be amazing. But if you couldn't make that, Opie, we are also in a pilot about that same beer garden. And together, we're like two waiters working in this place. We have a lot of funny lines.

It's a really great script. And even I told the director, I would ask you on air if you come into a came into a cameo just so we can pitch this thing. You wouldn't be interested something like that? No, no. I just want this to work. Roy, you don't get it. That ain't going to help. That may hurt the project.

No, no, no, no, no. This ain't the famous trophy for 20 years ago, Ron. I chose to be a recluse. I could be right back where I was at any moment. I chose. Good save Ron the waiter right there. Again, we didn't want this fucking guy.

It's just giving this sour puss face. No, I'm above that. I'm not going to be part of your stupid thing. So Rod puts opi to this place, which is nice. Yeah, this ain't the opi that's famous anymore. It's a whole different guy. A lot just went down in five seconds. Yes, that's a great clip.

Because then Opie has to say, I could be right back there if I choose to. We haven't heard that in a little while. We've heard him say that before. Hey, listen, if I wanted to be. Joe Rogan? I could. I just got to put my mind to it. You should start putting your mind to it. You're broke. And he wants Ron to know he enjoys seeing him living in a basement. Yeah.

I could change it. Just like that, I could change your life if I wanted to. You know, Adam, I wonder why this Greg Hughes doesn't have a lot of friends. Can you pinpoint why that might be? This seems to be the way he handles all relationships. And what's so shallow is that he basically from the view behind our friend Ron Barber there, he does, he's interested in this, is interesting in finding out how he can afford that apartment and where he got the money from,

which it turns out is from his father, who made hundreds of millions in the 90s, but this guy, unlike this other guy who made millions in the 90s, this guy's not afraid to admit it, talk about it and say he's living off it and he has to hustle to make other money, but that's his situation, that's who he is. And suddenly Opie

takes an interest. Okay. Well, so it's interesting that Opie tries to save face here about like this offer to be part of this pilot. I just think, I'm going to decide, Ron. If it's something that makes sense, yeah, I would do that in a second. That's awesome.

So, if it's something that makes sense, doesn't mean anything. No. If it's good for me, they'll do it. Well, yeah, that's how all things work in life.

Oh, yeah, we were hoping you would do this thing that you're totally not right for. That's going to be done by an older woman. We thought, I'll do it if you, if you, you know,

make it worth my while. neat. Thanks so much for helping us out. You're a great guy. He's exactly like John talking to the wings people. He's like, I'm going to say no, so I look good on camera, but I don't want it to go away just in case. So I'll just, he literally mumbled and then looked away. Like, okay, if you want to invite me, I'll come in your stupid party. So Ron Barber talks about this video that he put out that has 150,000 views on it. And so Opie's always wanted to put out a viral video. He's always working on viral videos. and so he has to chime in with what he's been doing lately.

Can I brag? So I had Tony Pia on his comedian. Do you guys know him? Yep. And he said, I love you, and I put it together as an Instagram real. And I think we're pushing a thousand views. Hey, Ron, my star is falling. It's too bad.

You didn't meet me when we were doing the Opian Anthony show. You don't assume you still have a star to fall. There's no star falling. It's... Wow. Ron can't wait because he's been taking this shit from Opie. So Ron can't wait to start piling on this guy. Oh,

your star is still falling? Is it? Oh, really? Okay. That's neat. Opie goes on to be self-deprecate. He's just like, yeah, it's just, it's hanging out right above the pavement. Sure it is, Opie.

No, the pavement are a really popular band, way more popular than Opie. Way, where I'd spend a lot more money to see pavement than Opie. This is a... A gig. Come on, man. Opie, you don't want to know who, like, this is how you do it. You hang out with younger people who are just starting and you get involved in their things. And then if they become Paul Thomas Anderson, they take you with them.

They thank you for the work. You're a tragic John Travolta-like character to some Quentin Tarantino somewhere that loves this kind of radio that if you weren't such a fucking asshole, they would want to do something with you. That's actually really good advice. And Opie will never take that. So this is a wild lover's quarrel that you're going to see between Rod and this boyfriend. It's so embarrassing. Opie's been saying for years, Ron, I got to come to one of your shows. Holy shit.

We're going on three years now, Ron, Baba. This is a lot. And you wonder why. This is your opportunity, Opie. You wonder why I don't go. You drive me insane. Hey, talk about the German TV station. That's going to interview you.

Ron, you see what's going on here? You see this, Ron? Yeah, he sees it. He sees it. Trust me. He'll be technically later about it. Imagine being the guest while these two are having their stupid little fight on air about who loves each other or who the most. He keeps trying to bring in the other Ron to, you know, work against Ron and make him jealous.

This fucking guy over here. Meanwhile, those guys are friends. They work together. But he goes, we'll be texting about this later. Wasn't that the whole thing with Jim and texting against people and that's how cruel you are? And this guy's got to stop broadcasting and get on with his life. He likes to triangulate like any narcissist does. We've seen this.

That's the word. Yeah. Yeah. So it's like, I got to bring in this person to try to like, oh, aren't you on my side against this person to see what he's doing? He's doing that thing he does. You're on my side, right? Now, we all know that the big falling out that Opie and Ron had was after they had their first date. They finally went to the diner before the Jim Jeffery show. And it was like this amazing thing where the two of them got together.

Opie pretended for a second to be a person, just a guy who was just hanging out with a friend. And afterwards, I think Opie felt really bad about that because like, God damn it, I'm making Ron feel like, like we're equals and we're not. Seriously, I think that was part of the issue that Opie had. Edward's like, fuck, I gotta get back. What have I done? Right. I got to like, I'm the boss and he's a loser because, you know, Ron's like, got real energized

after that. You know, they were going to do another Ron day and he's going to make all this money. What do you want to do today, Ope? Right, yeah, exactly. When we go back to Gebhardt. Remember, Opie would never tell Ron whether he's going to go to Gebhardt or not? Right. Are you going on Thursday?

I don't know, Ron. How can I know? Because you have a calendar. See if you go or not. He hates Howard Stern. He's feeling guilty over spoiling his employee with a meal and a little money one day. So this is more diner talk. Pete, but me and you will be at a diner soon.

Tony, Tony, Tony wants me to take up to a diner so bad. And I said, Tony, I can't sit there over a burger and fries and listen to your flat earth or shit. So no, Tony,

He's like, hey, I hear that you'll go to a diner with a guy. And Obey's like, I'm shutting down all diner dates. We're not doing that anymore. But Magafer Mom Dottie, that guy gets the invite to the diner because he's got the sweet view. He's got money. He's got money. Check this out. I want to see what it looks like outside you.

So you're looking right there. That's 8th, we're on 8th Avenue. But if you look this way, I'm going to show you a nice shot of this is right up 8th Avenue to towards, you see that? He's on 8th Avenue going up towards the park. We're on 46th Street in Midtown. 46 and 8th, right. He's not.

46 and 8. Come by any time. Opie doesn't like that. Oh, no. Uh-oh, another guy with a view? It's not as good of view. Can you even see the Hudson? Who cares?

That's really him, though. That's the real guy. That's the real petty version of Opie right there. He's more uptown. He's closer to the water. And he just, we look down on people like that that lived by Times Square. Are you kidding me? That's where the tourists go.

Which floor are you on? 38. Okay. Good try, asshole. Not even close to where I'm at. Oh, you tip your door, man. Okay. Okay.

All right. You have one more clip on here. I want you to set it up for us. This is, um, oh, is it a clip or is it just a, uh, no, you're right. It's just the image here. So this is Ron Barba promoting his appearance on Opie and Ron. And the way he words it is, I'm on the Opie and Ron show, which goes as Opie Radio on every platform. Right.

In the post before we were looking at, he said, I'll be on the Opie and Ronnie show. So then obviously someone had to clarify, or he's like, I don't find, I can't see Opian Ronnie everywhere. Where is it? Where is it? Oh, it's actually, it's Opi Radio. So he's got to make this like apology just to get his own. fucking friends to listen to this show that he works on for free.

It's unbelievable. Yeah. So Opie's one of those guys and we saw it when he had the power. And he talks about it. He was like, oh, when I was in the big chair, everyone wanted to be my friend. And now I'm not in the big chair anymore. Everyone treats me like shit. He never realizes like, oh, he was the one who's abusing his power.

And I talk about that with Kevin Brennan. If he gets any kind of power, if he can make it so that Dave Sarah is not allowed to go to Hackamania, he'll do that. because he can wield his power. Maybe Dave Sarah's not the right example. He was at Hacomania. We were hanging out. But you know what I mean?

Like, he's just looking for any guy that can control their life with Ray DeVito going to Hacomania. John wants to be able to do this. John wants to be able to control, you know, who Ava can be friends with or, you know, anyone who's hanging out with him, they have to like the same people.

And Opie is already proven to be that guy. And I think this is why Opie doesn't like Jim Norton, because anyone who's an outsider looking in, that's us. We've watched your show, Opie, and we've seen, you know, Jim sees your relationship with Anthony. We see how you treat these people. You were just telling Tony the other day. You're talking shit about Ron with him.

Now you're talking shit about Tony with Ron. This is what evil bosses do, you know, with more resources and ruin people's lives and get fired. It's very anti-social behavior. Yes. I'm not surprised he doesn't have any friends. All right. Well, thank you for that presentation, Adam. Well done, my friend.

Let's get into the Southern John's saga Finally So we get down to the courthouse, I'm in the lobby. And Lucy is there in Danny and a couple other dabblers who drove pretty far in To come hang out with us. One guy I think traveled four to half hours. Another guy was in from Buffalo. And we're hanging out.

Were they allowed in the courtroom? No. There is no courtroom. This was in the judge's chambers. Okay. And it's, so we got there early and we're talking. And, you know, I had a meeting with Danny the night before. So we pretty much were on the same page.

But we're just kind of hanging out and going over some last minute things and waiting for Bennett Susser to arrive. And boy, did he arrive. Bennett Susser shows up. And this is a giant lobby, you know, a huge place. And we're all looking to cross the way. I'm like, I think that's him. Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's him. This guy comes in with this giant, like, gym bag.

Like, he's going to be playing defense for the savers tomorrow night. He's got to get all of his gear with him. So he comes through with this giant gym bag for some reason. And he's wearing, like, this long overcoat, even though it was 62 degrees today and sunny. And, you know, he's a little bit confused, not sure, talks to the people, sits down. Danny goes over and talks to him for a little bit, you know, introduces himself. They've talked on the phone a few times.

Do you know where you are? Well, this is what I heard. I don't know if this is true or not. I heard the question that Bennett Susser asked my attorney was, you know what this conference is about? This is what I hear. I mean, who knows? So I brought everything in this gym bag just in case.

Yeah, he got everything, everything possible. Cut my shoes. Yep. He's like, there's a lot. phone with a super chat somewhere. This is a text message from Kate somewhere in one of these things. So, by the way, we're going to get into this. Very bad news for John today.

I'll tell you why. So the judge comes out and the bailiff or whatever comes over and says, all right, the judge will see you now. So I get right up and I'm walking with my attorney. Hey, here I go. Going to go into the judge's chambers and hear about what's going out with this thing. Nope. Skateboarding. Yeah.

The judge looks. Right at me, and he goes, this is for attorneys only. I was like, ah, right. God damn it. So I go back and sit down. And we're just sitting there and watching the clock, you know, 20 minutes was thrown around a lot about how long this meeting was going to be, much longer than 20 minutes. I was quite surprising.

Well, they must be getting into it in there. So 40 minutes goes by. And finally, they come out. Now, they come out down the hallway, and then they stand there and just chat for a while. Like, is this on the record, off the record? What are we talking about here? So they're just shooting the shit and whatever, hanging out. So after that,

Can you give me a ride home? Yeah, right. After that, Danny comes over. And he lets me know, you know, they've gone through a number of things. You know, where's Tabor Benedict to put all of this in motion in the first place, wrote up the complaint and everything, has not responded to anything. They're wondering where he is. and why he doesn't respond to stuff.

That's kind of weird. But whatever, it's not a big deal. John does have representation there, which was what they wanted to see. Is there someone still representing John? Is he going to show up? He did. All that stuff happened.

So there's a number of things that are being talked about. I can't really discuss here. But this is the big story. And this is what's going to crush John. Is that, you know, John's fantasy. He's been talking about this a lot lately. He's been talking about this low. lull suit a lot lately. And he's been saying, wait until I show them this text message I have

that's going to prove that, you know, there was this collusion behind the scenes. Kate Meeney and Shulie, and he's got all these like wild things that's going to happen that's going to like crush us. And so he's got this fantasy in his head where he's going to show up into the court and just go, oh, you know what? Just one more thing, you rather. And he actually gets the line right? right and he's going to pull out exhibit C and he's going to be like if you notice right here and everyone's going to go

holy shit you know and the judge is going to fucking drop his gavel you and Shulie start crying yeah Shulie and I are being hauled off to jail they come over and put some cuffs of me dealing with beating you I'm like fuck this is what John's whole fantasy is like he's living like this is what's going to happen because he's watched movies

should watch my cousin video out lately, so he knows exactly how this is going to go down. So the judge says, all right, this is being officially submitted May 14th. And he says, you'll have my decision within 60 days of that. My attorney says, will there be oral arguments? The judge says, I hate oral arguments. There will be no oral arguments. What's going to happen is they're going to decide this based on everything that's already been submitted. So John, with all of his new evidence and discovery and all of these things he's been talking about, he's all excited about, none of it matters.

They should have figured that out before they fucking suit us. Because everything that they've already put into the paperwork, that's all that they're going to base this on. Now, we've done an amazing job of countering this and obviously explaining that none of this makes any sense and explaining our side of things. So this puts us in a very good position. Their complaint was written by what seems like a seven-year-old John Melendez. Our response was written by what seems like a high-powered, well-connected attorney who has his shit together.

And that's why he's on national television. Response emails in a timely fashion. Regularly, yes. His tie was tied correctly. I saw it. He looked good. He did look good. I'll give him that.

I know John wanted to know how good he liked. I was hot. Yeah, he was dressed to impress. All right. So that's kind of the update I can give you. Basically, you know, Kaylee covered this on the once in over with Kaylee today. Lucy does dabbleverse. She covered.

She has photos. She actually has a video of Susser getting his tie stuck in his belt. I'm not going to show that kind of stuff. If you want to see that, go and watch Kaylee's show. from today. And very fascinating stuff. What I can tell you is that now we're in a sit-and-wait game again. So it's just going to be, but, I mean, it's going to be mid-July.

The judge was very clear that he gets this shit off of his plate and he will get this done. So we should see a ruling on this by mid-July. I think that's all right. And that's it. Nothing else can be submitted. There's no other meetings. There's no other.

phone calls. There's nothing but sitting and waiting for them to go through what they already have and decide whether you guys stole his likeness and took advantage of it for profit. As far as I know. Now, could they come to a conclusion that's like, okay, now we have to figure out this thing? Possibly. I mean, this could drag out beyond that. But as far as right now, everything is just going to hinge on what his ruling is. And it's just the judge who makes the decision. There's no jury. There's no at what point does John get to say

come on. Do you think this is cool? Yeah. There it is. Yeah. Does he get to tell the judge about his trans and gay kids? If he didn't put it in the initial complaint, then it's not going to be right. I'm sure it's in there. Unfortunately. Now, can you

talk about it? You don't have to, but Susser's, the character he showed up as was really like a Paul G. movie, like a real just New York kind of scattered character.

It was funny that you could immediately spot him. Is there anything about him that he said or did that anybody heard that's of note? I wanted to go over and talk to him so badly. Yeah. I was like, hey, am I allowed to go talk to him? And my attorney goes, well, no, not really. I mean, you can't talk to you.

It's not a good idea. I can't corner him and talk about his symmetrical name. Because I had some questions about a stand-up team. I had some things I wanted to ask him about. And I was told, no, I was shut down on every front as far as me communicating with Bennett Susser. I did see Trucker Andy talking to him. You know, he make it, what Stuttering John did is it's harder than it looks. I got to tell you. Oh, explain, please. I didn't see Andy's interview. I did an interview. My attorney, I didn't I didn't see That was great.

That was great. And you got to see through Andy's showing you both lawyers very much the different characters and the different approaches to the thing. Susser didn't,

he was demure. He didn't really like saying much, but you could tell he wanted to. You could also tell he was very confused as to how he had gotten there and to how he was getting wherever he was going next. Tiger Willie,

we're about this fake Evan Davids. That will be a part of all they're going to go through all of the paperwork. when they make their decision. Sorry, go ahead, Adam. No, Chuck Randy, summed up pretty much all there was to glean from it, which was this will continue.

This continues on. And we have to wait. That is correct. That's where we're at. And I want to thank the 2,000 people for being here. Hit the like button while you're here. Thank you for watching the show and supporting. I have a whole Suttering John package for us, which starts with John last night,

claiming that he is leaving the dabalverse. And in the way only John, John Ken. He has to talk about it like he's seven years old and running away from home. And he's like, you know, mom and dad, you've treated me poorly. And you are going to be sorry when I leave. And then when I'm gone, then y'all going to go, where's John? We want the Duke.

Uh-uh. You blow it. I'm going to get a beer. John spent most of the night last night. doing this. He's leaving the Dappleverse, and we're all going to be sorry because we won't have John to kick around anymore once he leaves. Does he really not remember us not caring before? He doesn't. He thinks every time that we're going to be like, no, John, here's a 20. Because that's what he wants. He wants bigger donations in order to stick around. So he hasn't

come up with the specific date yet of when he's leaving, but he's going to let us know soon. And it could be this Friday. He's got a special guest this Friday. So definitely do a show Friday, might not do it after that. But it might be May 5th. He doesn't know yet. Adam was upset. No, who's the guest on May 5th? He hasn't said yet.

No, this Friday. This Friday, who's that? He hasn't said. So I'm not sure. But yeah, he's been talking a lot about how he's going to leave the dabbleverse. And there's a reason why he's leaving the dabble verse. And I think I'm leaving at the right time. Because every show's numbers are.

down. Every show. All the numbers are down. It just is not as profitable anymore. The Dabblevers is dying and get used to it. So I was watching once over with Kaylee's channel today. 2200 people watching life. But somehow the numbers are down. No one's watching this. It's not profitable to all. We have Labyrinth Mystic. Gifting 20. Who are these podcast memberships from Labyrinth Mystic? We're going to need to see names. That is impressive, my friend. Thank you very much, Labr and Mystic. Normally, I don't point it out in the middle of the show, but just to let John know that numbers are up. Dabbleverse content is up.

People are watching. People are interested. We have Dabelverse Live every Thursday as a separate show, just about the Dabler's because Point DabblePoint on Mondays is still crushing. But John declares this is all dying. It's all going away. And he even wrote, a song, and when John writes a song, I pay attention.

Oh, the dabble verse is dying. Everybody be crying. The dabble verse is dying. You shouldn't be lying to yourselves. Because a dabble verse is dying. Here we go. And. And then what?

About. While you're a crying about the dabbler's be dying. The dabbler's be dying. Don't be crying. Don't be crying. That the dabbler verse is dying. You've said it many times, Chris. His most tremendous strength is the inability to be embarrassed.

Yeah. If I did something like this on a podcast, I'd beg, I'm deleting this one. Let's start over again. Why does he think he's clever? His songs always suck. Show me his no musical talent. He was clapping on one and three. Yeah.

It's two and four. God damn, a chap. But no, he's convinced. I mean, if that song didn't convince you, I mean, this will definitely convince you right here. Dobb versus dead. Keld it. So I did the old man thing where I asked my buddy Grock.

I'm like, is that true? Is the devil versus dead? And Grogh says, no, the devil versus not dead. It's very much alive and kicking as of April 2026. It says recent episodes from February through April discuss ongoing stories like Suttering John's lawsuits or the lullsuit against Carolyn Chuli. His strikes on YouTube channels, meltdowns, go fund me efforts. Interactions with people like Bob Levy, Anthony Coombe, Merce, Chad, Zumach, and more.

People are still posting about it daily on X, Reddit, Instagram, and YouTube. Huh. It says there are even weekly recap shows like Dabbleverse Live with Carl and Blyne Mike. Lucy does Damblverse. Everybody likes onions. And many others have pulled thousands of views while covering fresh drama. But hold on a second. Did John kill the Dabbleverse?

No, I asked that too. And it says, no, if anything, he's fueled that keeps it running. He is the fuel. John is the central figure, the ultimate rake, who keeps stepping on it through rants, bad gigs, legal filings, social media meltouts, and futes, his actions like striking channels or fighting lawsuits, generate endless content and drama for the shows that cover him.

The community thrives on his lack of self-awareness. Without John providing new material, the devilvers would lose its core. Some devalers joke about him destroying it or leaving, but he remains the main character driving the chaos. I'm sorry, John. Croc disagrees. I think you're wrong about that.

Let's get on. I don't want to be too much of a psychoanalyze this guy right here. However, since we've established that it's not the dabble verse and it's not melting that are dying, what is it you could be singing about, John? Like when you make those evil faces and everything on that screen was the same color. It was weird. Everything was like this off brown, yellow thing. his hair dye, the background, it made it look like, uh, ghost like.

Mm-hmm. I think he's dying. I think he's, uh, I don't think he's doing well. His arm isn't healing at all. Oh, God. It's just sitting there because his body doesn't heal. So he is, uh, yeah. Did you see him trying to show his arm?

Yeah. Adam. Yeah, I did. This is fucking awesome. It's so gross. So he's pulling off his little cast thing that he has. We just had this operation. and look at him.

He can't figure this out. Do I show it this way? No, can't show it. Do I show it over? No, no, that's not in the light. Get the light. There's a microphone in the way. All right, what about if I do it this way?

Nope. Nope. He literally can't figure it out. There it is. He doesn't understand what intelligence is. So there is the arm. Dude, show intel is a thing you do in like preschool. It's like one of the first things you do.

do is show a doll. John can't do that. Show us your stitches. Yeah, it's also the ability to like regroup when something isn't working and like trying something else. That's a major sign of that. The fact that he never thinks of getting up is crazy. What if I, what do I do this again? Right. It's impossible. It's impossible. Jerry. Call Jerry. Right. Ditka, how do I show my arm? All right. So that was funny. John is pre-gaming. You know, normally he doesn't drink until like seven, because it's not an alcoholic, as he tells us. Of course.

But there is a Yankees game yesterday. First beer today, 532. Getting primed for my big rivalry. Yankees versus Red Sox. Okay. Well, anyone will tell you if you go to AA or anything like, as long as you have a good excuse, go ahead and start drinking early on the day.

Wait, the Yankees are playing who? Oh, the Red Sox. Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. Here, take my beer. Yeah, of course. I have a shot, too. there is such a reveal. I have to tell you guys,

the bonus show that we did yesterday, living in the past, on John's 2018 podcast, he reveals something that he does with his beers, with his light beers, that is unbelievable because John will tell you, I just drink light beer. I mean, I'm not even getting drunk on this.

There's barely any alcohol in it. He revealed something. He'll never say it again, but no one was listening back then, so it didn't matter. Beer meth didn't exist back then. No, beer meth did not exist back then, but definitely check out on our Patreon or YouTube channel,

the bonus show we did Living in the Past, huge reveal, bombshell reveal that we have. A few. There were a few out there. John's parenting skills called into question quite a bit, but also his drinking. There's a big one on that.

The other bonus show I did this week was about Artie Fletcher. And Minnie and I declared, like this Arty Fletcher character is just like John. He's a narcissist. He loves talking about his TV credits. He thinks he's famous. He thinks he's funny. And so we were like, dude, we can start a whole show.

I told Vinny, let's just start a whole weekly show about Artie Fletcher. We could totally do that. And I guess that got back to John. Lady Kay, just do it. Says if Artie Fletcher starts streaming, they're going to start doing shows on him. Really. Really, Lady Kay. Really?

I mean, this is, this is the bullying. And you got, this is what you support. Yeah, Dan. Hey, Dad. John, you got to watch our bonus episode. You got to understand. He's so perfect for the show. Artie Fletcher is such a buffoon.

It's great. When I first joined the Dabbleverse, multiple people in the comedy world came to me to mention Artie Fletcher and to show me his website and his book and show me the similarities they had of dealing with him. It is incredible their ability to any argument. You can be talking about just character. And they're like, how could somebody not have character and have done this many gigs? And John is comfortable being like, you know, sharing a spotlight with him because he needs to.

So that's great because that will be the first thing to evaporate. And that'll be enjoyable to watch. Yeah. And if you missed it earlier in the show, I was talking about the fact that, we learned on that bonus show, John and Artie Fletcher are teaming up to do comedy shows. Artie's already got some bites on this. There's already clubs interested in it.

So there's going to be the Suthering John and Artie Fletcher comedy tour. It's going to be coming up, but I cannot wait for it. Let's travel to Tampa. Let's travel to, I don't know, Fort Myers, Cape Coral. It places are convenient for me. I must definitely watch this. It's going to be like the Sunshine Boys meets.

leave it down what is it what's the uh johnny dep uh hunter s thompson oh leaving las vegas no the Vegas fear and loathing fear and loathing thank you that's the one it's them two together oh i can't wait um all right so let's see what john's new strategy is going to be he's leaving the dabble versa before he does that he's going out guns a blazing i took him i took ova's advice but that's changing very soon either get a new idea Stop violating my copyright. If not, I will strike at will. I'm giving you all ample notice.

Picky, Pocky, baby fatso. Every single one of you. Violate my copyright, I will strike you. Because everybody hates me anyway. And by the way, shit wear you. When you and Danny or wherever your lawyer is going to be decide to sue me for me protecting my rights? I'm not going to get a lawyer. I'm going to fight it on my own.

Good. Yeah, it'll be funny. Good idea. Let me pause it real quick. One of the funny things that happened today at lunch. I went and got lunch with Danny after the conference. As, you know, we're just talking about, yeah, I got a beef trip isn't going to be on, devil verse live this week and you know we're just like going through like these ridiculous days he's

just laughing like do you guys realize your life has gotten ridiculous right it's like he goes why does he call you just do it he's like he's all these questions about like we just take some crap like we're just watching a guy just be like baby fatso and pocky and pinky you guys are all going down and we're all just like yep we're all following along sure yep i get it none of this makes any sense to normal people. All right, so John's going to represent himself. So what he's talking about here is John has already used the DMCA system on YouTube to have all of these strikes on the Shulity Network. All of them have been overturned because they're not a copyright violation. It's fair use. Everyone knows that. John knows that too. He's pretending he doesn't. And now he's threatening

he's going to do that to all of the channels once he leaves. And so there has been paperwork put into motion saying, hey, you know, John, we will sue you. We know that you know this is copy. This is protected by fair use. And you're using the DMCA and weaponizing the DMCA system is against the law and against YouTube's terms of service. And so John goes, yeah, go ahead and sue me. I'll represent myself and listen to his strategy here. And then I'm going to bring up your strikes to Mens and Math. Have you told your lawyer about that shit? Well, not only the one show, every show for Ments a Math. And then I'm going to bring up serious XM strike against you.

Should I tell you my strategy? I don't have to. I mean, yeah, I'm telling you. I thought that was it. It's incredible that John seems to think that his defense can be like, well, he did it. But he also did it. you know, like if you get arrested for murder, but the cop that arrested you

was a crooked cop, you don't get off for murder. Like, yeah. It's only fair. Uh-uh. But this cop was the evidence for you, one for me. Stealing drugs. Like, yeah, yeah, but you still murdered that guy.

So it doesn't matter. But in John's world, like, he has the understanding of the law of a seven-year-old. You know? It's just like, why did you throw the rock in Billy? Well, Billy drank my juice box. Right.

Like, what do you mean? Of course I'm going to throw a rocket up. It's like, no, no, no, you can't throw rocks at people. against the rules of the playground, John. It's like you can't have these DMCA strikes out of nowhere. So John is claiming he's going to strike everyone because he understands the law. Federal law, Mr. Savalos, tells you that if you make a show private, it's considered copyrighted.

Therefore, your lawsuit will be frivolous. Okay. Where did John get that from? I played this on Point Devil Point this week, but it's worth repeating because John gives away how stupid he is on his own show. This is him looking this up. You should wear.

I want you to see something. Danny, I know you're watching, so check this out. Hi, Sarah. By the way, this whole thing of talking about Danny's wife, it's not going over well. And Danny's wife is not watching any of this. I was asking him about it.

about it. Like, does your wife? He's like, no. These are people who have real lives. They don't give a shit about the devil first. Stop paying attention to this. But it's,

it's really delusional. He's really sinking into this, like, fantasy world where everyone is always watching it all times, even Gary, even people's Pulitzer Prize winning wives, like the UN, Donald Trump, like actually Donald Trump is aware of what he's doing. He believes all this. And he's talking to them now, like, and sitting in silence, not doing a show, just living in this fantasy world.

Listen, I have a feeling it's possible that he got a talking to from his attorney today about talking about attorney's wives and stuff. So I don't think you're going to hear it much anymore. But what's he doing now? He's still talking to lawyers. Like, no one wants you to address them. You're supposed to stay out of it. This is last night is what we're watching here.

I think things are changing. A private video is considered copyrighting. Yes, private videos are protected by copyright from the moment they are created. Okay, so John looks this up. Are private videos considered copyrighted? And so Google answers a different question. Yes, private videos are protected by copyright from the moment they are created regardless of privacy settings.

This is the part he doesn't read, but it's all up there on the screen. Uploading a private video containing copyrighted material like music or clips can still trigger copyright infringement claims and lead to takedowns or account strikes because Content ID scans all content. So what this is explaining to John is that when I take the Empire Strikes back and I upload it on my YouTube channel, regardless of whether it's unlisted or private or available for everyone or members only, it all gets scanned.

Everything that's happening in the background and I can get struck for copyright infringement for that. John is reading this the exact opposite way that he's just like, no, because I made my video private, it means I can sue everyone. if they play a clip of it. That's not what that's saying at all. And that it's automatically copyrighted. It is copyrighted, but that has nothing to do with anything because of fair use.

So John is so fucking stupid that he reads just the first line and then goes, there's my proof. Danny doesn't even understand federal law. I do. You dumb fuck. Yeah, it's insane that John, I mean, this is Dunning Kruger to the nth degree. We've talked about Dunning Kruger for years now, but for him to think. he understands law better than Danny Sivellos is fucking insane

the guys have the today's show this week he knows law better than you, John and the fact that you do a Google search read not even the first full sentence just the first part of the first sentence and then declare that you understand copyright of an AI overview he's not even sourcing the original material

he's insane but anyway that's why the devil is a celebrity he's a celebrity and he always says but in the court of public opinion. And he believes that he will live and die in this court of public opinion. And what happened here today is that they removed it from the public's opinion and said, that's all done. A judge is going to do this alone in a room and he'll let you know.

Right. And you're right. John is famous. And nobody else in the devil verse is famous. Lucy, you're an idiot. Do you want to that for the board? That's why I left that part in for it. I would just sit down again.

Lucy, you're an idiot. Lucy, I'm telling you right now, you're a fucking idiot. If you think this is okay, you wouldn't know anything about being famous. In fact, not one person in this cesspool of ridiculous knows anything about being famous. Okay. John's the only one who's famous. loose, he's a fucking idiot, and Johnson explained to us

why he's the most famous. Poxton. I'm a national celebrity. In fact, in England, they played the e-shows. So don't ever think that you're equal to me when it comes to fame.

Because you're not. Hate to break it to you. You're not. and I'm the only celebrity in this shithole. So Lucy, you wouldn't know, because you're busy on your back with two of your husbands. You wouldn't know what it takes to become famous. That's a pretty sick burn on Lucy.

I don't know if John knows this. Maybe I shouldn't say this out loud. She's probably had other guys outside of the two marriages. I don't know. I've never thought of that. Most people, you know, have date and stuff like that. Shame. Shame.

I'm just getting married, but I love that John thinks that's an insult. Oh, what are you too busy fucking your husbands? Yeah, sure, man. I don't know. It's pretty funny. It's so stupid. Having a healthy relationship with your family. It's so stupid.

Celebrating holidays sounds nice. What John doesn't understand, and this is the thing that I love about him is, the more he tells us what a big celebrity is in all his accomplishments, the more we go, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's why this is hilarious. that's why the fact that you're in the predicament you are in now broke in a house that doesn't have a fucking pool in Florida. I didn't want one. Yeah, he literally said that. Who would want a pool?

It's a nice thing to have in Florida, July, in August. Fucking moron. That's why it's funny. Just the other day, Lucy was in, she was in England and she was explaining to somebody what she did for a living. And she was like, you know, stuttering John, I'm like him. Right. They're like, oh, of course. She's on the street talking over in Brighton.

Of course, that all makes sense. So, yeah, this is John again talking about his strategy for when Chulie sues him for the DMCA strikes. Like, like Chittway keeps threatening to sue me. Well, what happens? So now we're talking to Ava. And Ava's an intelligent person. So watch Ava's reaction to this because Ava can't even play along. Well, what happened?

when I go to the judge and I go, well, he struck this guy every single show. Why is he allowed to but I'm not? Yeah. Mincer Math could have had a career on YouTube. Yeah, but wouldn't that close the case?

I don't know. Probably. Wouldn't that close the case? I go, yeah, but he did it too. And I was like, yeah, well, no, it's not how many of this words. Nope, case closed. You're fucking idiot. This is a rest of development. He's still at the pool with Howard saying, how come Jackie can get high by the pool, but I can.

Yes, right. And he's like, and that's not going to win. It didn't win then, and it's not going to now. But it should have, Adam. He was right. It should have. So this is good news. You know, him and Ab are on, and he's like,

I don't have a lot of time. The Yankees are going to come on any minute now. And whatever, Av was like on there making her. point and John has to interrupt with this news. He's a really angry little worm man. Oh, actually, I'm sorry. The game doesn't stop to 645. So that means I have, I have almost a half an hour left. Oh, there you go. I got to change.

You look good. Thank you. That's the most awkward thing between these two. I know they're in love, or at least one of them is in love with the other one. And so John just interrupts, makes that little weird face. Or he's just like, e-he, look at me. I can keep podcasting with you. Isn't that cute?

Oh, that is charming John right there. John the Charmer. But the fact that I was like, I have to change. And John's like, no, you look great, baby. And then even he's just like, what am I doing? Oh, there you go. I got to change. You look good.

Thank you. What are we laughing at? I think John just realized he was hitting on Alpha. And he felt very weird about it. All right, one more clip on here. John gets up and walks away in the middle of his podcast, as he's a lot to do. And I spread this up to 10x speed,

but we'll have time to chat during it. Two more beers and we clear. So John gets up. So, So this is his stream. This is the professional broadcaster John Melendez, who's famous and does it better than all of us. We're at 10x speed, and we're just staring at his green screen and the scroll that's going across. And minutes are passing by as he's just MIA.

The good news is we're going to find out what he was doing in all this time. That's him getting the TV on, in anticipation of the Yankees. back. Oh, is he making a post-carbom? Sorry about that, ladies and gentlemen. Sorry, sorry, sorry. I wanted to get the game on

because it's sometimes hard with the configuration of my television. Let's go! And while the television's rebooting, I had the energy drink and a large amount of liquid in the Gatorade

so I have to make pooha This is an old man Who shits himself It's pretty well documented He can't hold his shit Through a two-hour stream He has to go Drop a Duke

Drop a duke award Not with a diet like his I think he should be regular That doesn't seem I know right I like that he played it on the gatorade he drank Something to do with the frozen pizza that he eats for dinner every night.

It's because my TV's up in that prison they had in Superman 2, and it's spinning and I got to get in there first to get it ready. Who has to get their TV ready to watch the game? What kind of process is that? idiots who have to call Ditka or Vegas beer sales Jerry to figure out how to get the Yankees game on. The configuration. The configuration.

All right. That's John. He's killing it. And he's going to leave the dabover soon. So it's all appreciate him while he's still here. I know I will. Yeah. All right.

We've come to everyone's favorite part of the show. Is it weird or is it gay? What will we ever say today? Is it gay? Is it gay with Megan? How's it going, Megan? Hello. Great to see you.

And Annie. Oh, hello. Great to be back. Great to have you back. And, of course, Megan coming off her successful internet news segment recently on WATP. Sure. She has many hats around here. The way this game works is we watch Aaron Imholt set something up.

And because Aaron has no creativity, it's not very funny. He usually calls everything gay as the punchline. So we're going to see him set something up. We're going to decide whether or not he's going to call something gay. Each round is worth one point until we get to the final round worth three points. So let's find out. Is it gay? Bozmach says, say goodbye to any Chandler dollars you could have made.

I don't make any Chandler dollars. I haven't made Chandler dollars. That ended a long time ago. Yeah, years. It's been years. Old Chandler gave Granny 8K for a... Stop financing trans... Is it gay to fund trans pornography?

Adam. Yeah, that's gay. Carl. Sounds pretty gay. Chris. Got to go gay. Annie. It's gay.

All right. We all agree. This is gay. Let's go. That is... I'll be honest. That's really fucking weird, though. Like to go, I haven't, like, it excites you to go,

I want to pay a poor hillbilly money to fuck a trans person. It's like that. How does Aaron know everything? He pretends to be above it, not know anything on the day. How does he know who Granny is? Yeah, right. He knew all that entire backstory just now. He heard about it in church.

He was probably there and we just didn't know. He might have been. He's above being paid to do stupid things that the audience wants them to do, Listen, he'll drink pee to a song, but he's not going to put his penis in a trans person. It's crazy. Who are we to judge. All right, no points in the first round. That was a tough one.

Here comes round two. Rusty Grammer says minivans aren't sexy. Apparently not. D.P. Granny says Aaron liked his town and country because the rear end reminded him of his wide ass. I have a very cute, snug ass. Is it gay that Aaron called? his ass snug and cute Annie?

Yeah, that's gay. Chris? It's disgustingly gay. Carl. Yeah, he's going to catch himself here, complimenting himself and call it gay to try to save face. Adam. Yeah, it is when he says that while wearing that unintentional V-neck feeling himself.

And also touching himself on the ass, yeah. Like a little rooster. Yeah, it's still snug, right? That was gay. That was probably the gayest thing I could have said. Yeah, we go. All right. There we go.

We're back, baby. Everyone got a point. Every going to point of that round. All right. Here comes round three of, is it gay? Yesterday. Let's just call this. Dylan says, get a conversation van.

I think you mean a conversion van. Although, all, buying any van is really a conversation van. Are conversion vans gay, Adam? No, they're useful. Carl. I think they're gay. Chris. Not gay.

Annie. Not gay? I'm the only saying gay on this one. I think you'll say all bands are conversation bands. The conversation is, are you gay? But I can be wrong. Conversation starts like this. Bro, you gay?

Yes. I saw where that was going. Oh, you've had that conversation. The conversation begins from there. I watch a lot of airs. clips. I think you know a person. And heated rivalry.

And heated rivalry. Holy shit. I watched Scott Thompson do stand up last Friday. And he talked a lot about heated rivalry. Not a fan. He's like, if you think that's what gay sex is, you guys are way out. Oh, there's women who like that show because they think it's romantic. You guys have no idea when gay sexes.

You would not like it. You should watch what? Oz. Oh, that's not the fun. Very aggressive. That's not the fun kind of gay sex is. either. Was Scott Thompson significantly less silly?

No, Scott doesn't was actually very silly and very fun. See? Yeah, there you go figure. But that stand-up is a podcasting. Yeah. Oh, right. Got you there. All right. Mm. It's always a catch. I'm in the lead. Let's see what's going on. You know, look, I respect the Pope. I'm Catholic.

I do think... Why do you say it like you were choking on it? I'm Catholic. You're Catholic. You got this, buddy. The Pope ought to stay in his own lane. And perhaps the President. president should stay in his leg. A fucking trans flag just out of nowhere. Uh-oh.

Is it gay to have a pride flag in the Hall of Congress? Who am I asking? Annie. Not gay? Chris. Yeah, it's too easy. Not gay. Carl?

Yeah, it does seem too obvious. I'm going to go not gay on this one. Adam. I have to follow my heart and go gay. All right. I'm trying to pick up a point. Let's find. out. In the halls of Congress. It's a weird country, man. It's just a strange. I don't recognize

it. It's a weird place. Yes. This game sucks. Is it weird? Might be the new game. Stupid game. Everything was fine until Megan got here. This sucks. That's true. I'll see myself out. All of us guys are having fun, weren't we? All right, here comes round five worth one point. It's called money. It's called licensing. People pay him a shitload of money. He doesn't have to do anything, and they sell goyslop to pigs like me.

But it's been a little while since I had Guy Faire. He's meat in my mouth. So I'm going to give us a try. He's proud of that. He's proud of that one. You got to have fun. See, look at that. His audience doesn't call him a turbofag

when he talks about meat in his mouth. They can... Is it gay to make him meat in my mouth? jokes. Adam. Yes. Carl. It is gay to make those jokes, yes.

Chris. No. Annie. Are Turbofags faster than regular ones? Yes. It's gay either way. All right. We got our answers in.

Have fun. They can have jokes. Why do I have to be the biggest gay guy in the world when I want to make meat in my mouth jokes? You guys are mean. All right. it was gay. Did everyone get that one? I did not.

Oh. So I am in the driver's seat here. What are the scores? Four to Adams 2 to Annie's 3 to my pathetic 2. Okay. Final round is worth three points. We have a multiple choice possibility that Megan will let us know after we hear this setup in our final round.

Hey, he's biting. Put it down. Put the dog down. Holding lab puppies, and I'm about to do yoga. Can you stand this? Bro, you better be gay. If you weren't gay before you came in, guess what? You're gay now just by popular opinion.

Mr. goodness. I mean, this is a dream. You know this, right? It is. It's a perfect escape. Okay, you started this business win. So I launched it with my daughter in August of last year. Meaning they still have time to go out of business.

So where are you getting all the puppies from? Where does Aaron think all these lab puppies are coming from? One, a puppy mill. Two, a dog breeding ring. Or three, a hoarder house. Adam. I'm going to go with the ring. Carl.

Horder house is the fun. or one. I think he tries to be funny. I'm going to go with hoarder house. Chris. I think he thinks puppy mill is funny. Okay. Annie. Dog breeding ring.

All right. Two rings. Annie gets it. A hoarder house and a thing. Can you dumb it down for me? I just summarize after we get our answers. You know, that's a great question. Yeah. Are you... Oh, no. This is all cover for a puppy mill.

Fuck. Oh, no. They're all running puppy mills in this. God damn it. Such an easy answer. How do I lose that? I totally won. Congratulations.

Nice come from behind victory. Gay. Yeah, I was going to say it's coming from behind gay. Well done. Producer Chris. We're all happy for you. Clearly. I'd hit kids, you know, saying,

yay, we've been hitting that a lot. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's getting played out. Yeah, yeah, it's great. How's your hate fever? Okay, okay. All right. Let's get into the opi or bird game from my friend Simon, who puts this together for us each week.

Welcome to the tree of hope deep inside the great forest of failure. I'm your host, Simon, from the worst ever podcast, and it's time to play Opie or Burr. Here comes round one. My star has dropped a bit. My star has dropped so badly that I want the James Webb telescope to find it. You see how I did that. Woo! He-he-he-he.

Time to register those votes. Wow. That could go either way. At first, I was like, oh, we just heard this. I was it? No. I'm actually going to go with Bill Burr on this. What do you think, producer, Chris?

I went Burr. Megan? Burr. Annie. Opie. Adam. Yeah, I can see why you'd go Burr because the James Webb Telescope reference is smart and the woo is out of character,

but I gotta go with Opie in terms of reality. Yeah, I mean, if he actually got a thing that we just heard Opie sang and it's Bill Burr, that's amazing. And here's the answer. My star is dropped in it. My star has dropped so badly

that I want the James Webb telescope to find it. See how I did that? Woo! I've never heard of make that. noise. No. It's a game.

Woo! He was failing himself. That was bizarre. No, don't see it. Let's play

Tibetan monk exercises. Okay. I'm doing Tibetan monk exercises. Yes, I am. Time to register those votes. Anna, what do you got for this one? Bill Burr. Annie.

Opie. Megan. Burr. Chris? I'm definitely going to Bill Burr on this one. And here's the answer. And then it doesn't hurt that I've been doing some... Wow.

Tibetan monk. Oh, shit. Holy shit. Wow. Uncircle all those bees. I'm doing Tibetan monk exercises. I'm doing Tibetan monk exercises. Yes, I am.

Now he can ejaculate hands free. Let's play. Round three. I'm looking forward to doing this stuff. So why is it so fucking quiet? I don't understand what's going on here. I'm not getting like the usual, uh, the usual

what you call here the waves on on on on the hello hello there we go there's some waves

Annie Opie doesn't look at audacity or a reaper it's got to be I know I was thinking of the same thing I've never heard of comment on wave forms at all but okay it's just so it's so stupid and here's the answer I am looking forward to doing this stuff why is this fucking quiet. I don't understand what's going on here.

I'm not getting like the usual, the usual, what you call here? The waves on, on, on the, hello, hello. There we go. There's some waves on the proper modulation here. Listen, this is a fucking small operation what I got going

It's funny. Ed. Bill still has children. How did you get that one wrong? You're right. You're right. I didn't know if we were playing into his delusional fantasy. that he lives in on the podcast.

So hard to tell. I'm reduced to telling by whoops and whos and yells. We're going to round five. I think I got the last two, so I'm on the board. What are the scores right now? Annie is leading with three. You and Adam have two. Megan, one.

All right. Well, it was a tough one this week. Good job, Simon. Let's go. Let's play round five. Oh, my God. That brought back memories. I'm like, I know you're excited.

but now my right shoulders numb. Can we celebrate another way? I'll hug you even, man. We can bump helmets. I don't care. Just don't hurt me. Time to register those votes. Oof.

Annie, what do you got? Opie. Adam? Opie. I'm going, fuck, I don't want to go Opie because I can't win. I'm going to go burgers all that way I can't. Tie up Annie.

What do you got, Megan? Opie. Who's it, Chris? Opie. All right. And here's the answer. Oh, my God. That brought back memories.

I'm like, I know you're excited, but now my right shoulder's dumb. Can we celebrate another way? I'll hug you even, man. We can bump helmets. I don't care. Just don't hurt me. Hugged you so hard, your sinuses are clogged. Congratulations.

This week's winner gets to spar with Ramzan Kadi. of kids. I'm Simon. Listen to the worst ever podcast. Goodbye. Congratulations to Annie, our big weiner. Oh, I couldn't hit that. I did that.

Look at that. Who do? That was a possibility. All right. We have to poke a dabbler. But before we do that, I have Kitty

saying that John looks gray. Doesn't look great. Yeah, he looked like he was already buried with all that brown and dirt and stuttering jaundice. Yes, he looked like a shirt that Dr. Steve would wear. That's how bad he liked. Matt White, 20 bucks says, happy for you guys and how it went today. Thank you very much, Matt White. Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Good news. We have a round of to poke a dabbler card. It's been fired up about this lately. He's been watching Suttering John. If you watch him instead of Bwine Mike on Sundays, you'll know that. So we had another round. It's time for everyone's favorite new game show. To poke a dabbler.

What do you say, Carl and Madam Bush? Are you ready to poke a dabbler? Yeah, I haven't done a game in a while, so I can reuse the jokes. I'll never notice. Yep. He is. And I used to feel bad until I talked to him. Like, it's like, he's, is just also a bad guy that betrays people.

He's this bad person. After what he did to Jerry, I had no respect from any more. John, and again, I confronted him about that. He don't ever, ever think that you can repair this. You're dead to me. You always will be. Oh, yeah, he scored a 90. And if I happened to pass away,

and being in a coffin and I'm at awake, you show up, I'll have them to escort you out. That's how much I load you. There is nothing you can do. No one's going to show up to that, Chad. Don't worry. Anything. I've given you a few chances,

and I've been, Avi, you have no idea how many favors I've done for this guy. You have no idea. and and what he's doing now, he's going to regret and he's going to try and reach out to me. I guarantee fucking tear. I'm going to say, don't even bother.

Steve, don't even bother. Don't ever try. Remembering the Godfather 2 when Fredo, no, Godfather 1, I believe, when Michael says, what did John Say next.

Here are your choices. Number one, I made him an offer that he didn't understand. You're dead to me, Grillo. Next. Don't ever talk to me again. Four, you betrayed me for the last time. And lastly, we ain't cool no more. Lastly, too, you stabbed me in the back.

NYU film school attendee on the screen next to John. See? Ava has not watched the end of the godfather. I was going to say, I thought you're talking to me. I was like,

you know the answer to that. Yes. Yes. I told her. I give her 30 bucks to watch the golf or then she still hasn't done. I sold him. I'm stupid. That's all for this time.

Come back next time to find it if you are man enough to poke a dabbler. Brought to you by patreon.com slash Cardiff Electric. The semi-exclusive home of BTH, the hit new show with me, Blind Mike and Tuki, every Monday night at 8 p.m. Be there. Sit, Eugene. Sit. Good dog. I've tried to watch BTH on like Tukis or Blind Mikes, Patreon. Not as good.

You got to go to Cardiff's. That's the best place. Megan, you like to check out our Spotify comments. People can comment on individual episodes on Spotify. Of course, this is an audio podcast. First and foremost. Have any interesting comments lately? Yes.

I have two from episode 718. and I have two from episode 719. I have one that says, I love how Carl has the amazing ability to be the least likable person on every show he appears on. That doesn't sound nice. I know.

You picked that one, Megan. Five stars. I have, hey John, I think it's time to have a come-to-Jesus moment. Lucy, along with virtually every other woman, would rather punch herself in the tight box than have anything to do with you. Yeah, and I'll film it.

I'll prove that that's true. Good comment. All right, what do we got from 719? We have Andy sucked less than usual today. Good for him. I'll make sure Annie knows about that. Very good. And then I have slow dancers saying,

Clubfoot Carl simping for Melanie Mac looks like the quartering has competition. That is true. not based on any of her content. Right. I don't know any of those people are. I had to look at one. I'm club fucking footed, you ass, white.

All right. Annie, do we have any new reviews? Yeah, we got one coming in from the Leo over on podcast addict saying, whoa, buddy. Reference to the keynote casino. It sure is, yeah. Whoa, buddy. Well, I appreciate that.

I have something. How many stars? Hold on. something that's similar to that. Yeah, buddy. But it's no PPP. Is that a five-star review? That is a five-star review.

Well, thank you for that. The second one comes in from Apple Podcasts saying, Gen X sucks from Hot Take 2. Listen to episode 81 in old episode, but it reviews Comtown. They don't understand Comtown and see it as a failed attempt to be a high production show, literally being jealous of the Patreon numbers

and critiquing a show about calling another one gay. If you're a cum boy, this is one of the funniest episodes of podcast you could ever hear. Yes. Nick Mullen did respond to that in a hilarious fashion, and I'll never live it down. My review have come down, did not age well. So I'm guessing it's a one-star review.

Yeah, they don't get that you didn't get it, and now you get it. Thank you. She gets it. They don't believe change is possible. Remember in the Godfather, part two, no, no. it was part one. When Michael told Fredo, he said, I want a banana daquere.

Well, I want one to Grillo. Eva, keep your animals close. That's silly. All right, let's listen to some voicemails, and then we'll get out of here. Of course, the voicemails are brought to you by Gary and San Diego. It's a bunch of crap.

Swing in a minute. Rock and roller. All right, so this guy helped me a ton of drunk voicemails. all three minutes long. That's the max, just rambling on and on and on. This was the final call. And I should mention they were all within like 15 minutes at like between 2.30 a.m. and 3 a.m.

This was like two hours later. Oh, geez. So very sober. Hey, Carl. If you're wondering, I was doing last call, I'm better probably calling a night. I didn't do any laundry after fixing a laundry machine, which all I did really was. tape up the link thing. But anyways,

man, that's not like playing those calls because you know they don't remember making them. Yeah. But as you look at your phone, you're like, oh, shit. Who was I calling last night? What is that number?

It was me. Thanks for calling me. I like those syllables at the end. Yeah, that's probably how I sound when I'm going to sleep. Hey, Carl. Kenny from Canada here. Less than a while ago,

I sent in a voicemail. and you played it. And he said it was kind of funny. Listen, if you could just write that in a letter and mail it to me, you know, that way when I'm in my 60s, I can, you know, take it out and show people how cool I was. I really appreciate that. Thanks, Carl.

Bye. No problem. That's what we're spending the next weekend doing writing letters to people. Megan, this one's for you. Hey, Carl Rani in Syracuse. Love you, love the show. Megan doing the Internet news. I'm going to say no.

Sorry, man. I just didn't care for it, but maybe that's just me. I know you guys are big fans of Megan. I don't watch the video, so I haven't seen her. But, yeah, the other thing, John was reading a letter from Mike Bichetti along several, I guess, that he has, saying what a great guy he is. It made me think of stalker Patty.

Can you imagine someone like Opie trying to boost his stock by saying, look at this letter I got from Patricia Brooks. What a bunch of crap. Don't call me back. Shout out to what the hell is the name? Oh, band practice guy.

Shout out to BPG for sure. All right, so I'm glad that Ronnie explained. He didn't like you on there, but it's only because he doesn't know what you look like. That's fine. You feel better about that now? Okay, good. I don't really care.

You, Carl, this is a new fan here. I was just listening to, man, I've been checking my head. with this Jeremy guy, man, the fucking quarter-pounder, like, you know, he keeps saying that he's not a cug, or he keeps defending the fact that he's not a cug, and some people will say, oh, no, he's not actually a cuck. But I know that he is one, and I could prove it because, first of all, he has no shame. The dude went on a live stream, and he fucking pissed on the floor on his basement during the live stream. So anybody that has no shame like that, they could might as well be a cuck.

Also, just like Soul Ringers, this dude had his own magic the gathering community back in the day. He used to be called OnSleeved Media, and what was he more popular about? He fucking went out of his way to harass and basically bully this woman, cosplay of basically being part of that community. This dude is fucking toxic, he's fucking disgusting, and I'm just so, happy to see him just getting his shit rock right now. He's a fucking cook. All right.

People do not like the quartering. Jeremy is having a tough go at it. And that video we put out, it's getting a lot of views. People seem to enjoy piling on Jeremy and the quartering. Man, I'm listening to this quartering shit, and I just had to pause the episode, fucking lose his voice now. Lucy's just lifting off all these names and these fucking people and arguing about nonsense. And it's just fucking exhausting.

I'm so glad I don't know who the fuck I any of these people are. And then when this episode is done, I will probably forget them all. How do people keep up with this shit? Holy fuck. There was a moment when Lucy was just going through her list of like, so PPP and Warsky are talking about it. And I was like, should I say, all right, I just let it go. I just don't sleep good tonight.

Right, if you either follow along or not, you know, what are you going to do? But, yeah, it's hard to get into the corridor without a lot of internet lore that's involved in that. Hey, Carl, I called in the past about Frenchihana. You know, if she was incapable of taking care of herself, was it really fair to make fun of her? And I was just questioning whether or not that was the case. But I'm starting to feel that way about John.

This guy's way too tarded, and I don't think it's like we're punching down on a person who is on the spectrum. Chris, call me back. He's too tarded. Yeah. Adam, you agree? I don't know if I agree that he's too tarded. I think we've won, like by every quantifiable measure.

There's no more winning to be had. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But he is, and it's just you can't win anymore. Like, it can't. Chris, call him back. I will. Thank you. Yeah, I mean, if I had the capability of feeling bad, I would, I guess.

Jan did not drop her books in the courtroom to make the guy turn his neck. It was fucking Mr. Brady dropped his briefings. I am 10 years younger than you and I do that. Dumb fuck. I know. That was dumb of me. You knew that too, Chris? Only because it was pointed out in the chat.

Oh, okay. I thought you wanted to call me out. Oh, no. I felt bad when I was reading that. I'm like, give the guy a break. Sorry to remember every Brady Bunch episode. I do. Just not as well as I thought I would

Ah, fuck, guys. This is for WATP. I'm embarrassed even being calling, but, yeah, I was on my weekly Teams call for work and, you know, things are going well. And then my laptop took a shit and felt like stuttering John for a second. And then I had to use my phone. And because of that, I had to zoom in and get close to the screen.

and then I looked over and I saw my face and I was super close to the screen. And I felt like fucking Ron the waiter. God damn it. Fuck. I mean, like going in the woods might go to Greenland. I don't know. All right.

Never get too close to the screen. I think that's really the, the takeaway from all of this. Adam, anything you want to promote? I should have mentioned this sooner in the show. No. I was on out of the coffin with Bob Levy yesterday.

And I encourage everyone to go take, a gander at that. I'll also be on Pat Dixon's show on Friday at 2 p.m. Which is, I don't know if he's staying up all night or if he's getting up earlier. I was going to do it, but that should be a lot of fun. Check us out. Excellent. We will check that out. Annie, what do you got going on? Not a whole lot, but I think I'm supposed to promote the beef tips show, beef drippings. I've never seen it, but you know, that's what we're supposed to do. Promote them. Go watch them. I was supposed to be on their show tomorrow night, and then I realized the savers were on, so I had to change that. I think we're going on Sunday.

on their show. And I might be on Lucy's show on Sunday, too. I don't know. Who knows? I'll do stuff too. Chris, Megan, thoughts? Yesterday's living in the past was arguably my favorite and the funniest ever. So check that out.

Yes. Patreon. com slash who are these podcasts or become a member on YouTube. You can watch Living in the Past from yesterday. Wow. There's some huge reveals and also some very funny moments on that. All right. I got to go.

I got to go. I got to go. I got to go. I got to go. Okay, bye. Are we done here? I think we are. That was a great episode.

That was really great. All right. Ready to roll the credits? Yep. All right, guys. Bye. Until next time. Bye.

Bye. Man, that was a good episode. That was a good episode. I enjoyed that. Okay, bye. And that's the end of that chapter.
