Who Are These Podcasts? - Ep727 - The Sound Affect w/Artie Fletcher
Episode Date: May 17, 2026Artie Fletcher is a ridiculous human who thinks he had a career in stand up, acting, and music. And he’s so braggadocious. He might actually surpass Stuttering John in that category. And when it com...es to hitting on the only woman on the show… chef’s kiss from StutJo. Vinnie Paulino joins us to show everyone Artie’s biggest TV commercial ever, for Eclipse gum, and how that made him their spokesperson with interpersonal relationships. Kevin Brennan clowns Ray DeVito’s stand up, which would be fine, but he does it with Tom Myers. KarmicX got dumped by Felicia Gillespie and he takes full responsibility because he was doing “drugs.” Bill Burr went to a restaurant and coffee shop in Atlanta… no further questions!! This guy couldn’t make his life seem more boring. Good thing he’s not an entertainer. Oh wait. Opie had a big F U Friday episode that exposed the fact that he doesn’t even know what an entertaining podcast could possibly sound like. At least he’s making money on superchats… that reference WATP. D’oh!! We finish with Internet News and voicemails.

Episode number seven, 27.
Are you a boner guy?
Oh, I was a boner guy.
You know what?
I miss 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 stretch?
Probably not.
But it's going to be at least energy.
By the way, for those people that are in the back, remember to shut the fuck up.

Hello, what makes of Couseroo is welcome to another episode here on this podcast.
The only show that says things in funny voices so you know what's a comedy show.
Is it time for the silly?
I'm your host, Carl, with me this week, a fat man in a skinny suit from the creepoff.
It's Vinny Paulino.
Ola Creepo.
Glad to be here.
Producer Chris is with us as well.
Hey.
Please go to Who Are These.com?
Much of stuff over there.
Also, we encourage our listeners.
Give us five stars wherever you review podcasts and then shit all over us in the comments section.
Today, we'll be reviewing the sound affect with guest Artie Fletcher.
We've all listened, not discuss it with each other beforehand.
Let's get into it.
This is a show hosted by Todd T.
Riley, Scott Johnston, Michelle Bench Novak, and thank goodness they have a very special guest
on.
And that guest is one, Artie Fletcher.
I can't wait for Artie and sendering John to team up for these comedy shows.
Actually, John's got one show booked at the Boca Black Box, I believe.
Is Artie on that?
I can't imagine they would let Artie in there.
Okay.
Well, that's too much.
That's a shame.
Because Artie is amazing.
He's very much like John Melendez.
He's always talking about his credits.
He's always blowing smoke up his own ass, talking about how amazing he is, telling you how great he is, never being funny, repeating the same jokes in every interview and shoehorning them in.
We have lots of examples of that on the show today because this is a long one, Vinnie.
You know, from what I understand, this show is generally an hour from what the hosts were saying.
This was two hours and 20 minutes.
They alerted the affiliates at one point.
They're like, we're going long.
We got Artie Fletcher here.
There's no way.
We're just doing an hour today.
Yeah, we need to get down to the meat of what makes this man tick.
This is a show out of Tampa where Artie lives.
And I'm trying to figure out, are they on the radio or is it just a Facebook live show?
My opinion is it's a Facebook live show.
Okay.
It's from, this interview is from 2019.
Yes.
And there are 43 views.
Oh, it was 41 last I saw.
earlier today.
Okay.
From seven years ago.
41 views on it.
That's you, me, and Chris.
Well, it starts off with a very important endorsement that gets you pumped up for the show.
Hi, I'm Gary Shutt from Panic Fire.
You're watching the sound effect.
And welcome to another show.
That was our man, Gary Shutt there.
Great guy.
Thanks, everybody for watching.
Appreciate you tuning in.
I'm Todd T. Riley.
I'm Scott Johnston.
And I'm Michelle Ben Schneerback.
And we are the.
The sound effect.
Wow.
When I saw Gary shut from Panic Fire, I was like, oh, holy shit, strap in.
Whoa.
Yeah, it's all downhill from here.
The fuck is that.
So it's Gary's shut.
The fuck is Gary shut.
Gary shut the fuck up.
After that, I have to question, how were there 43 views on this?
I know.
It's a long slog of an episode.
And it's great because already comes in.
And he's clowning their show immediately and riffing in only the way that Artie Fletcher could riff.
And I know you got games.
So who knows what may happen?
Yeah, I'm going to get another TV series out of doing this show.
Oh, absolutely.
Me too.
You really need to put this on your resume.
Well, I've already done Bubba.
So what else can I do?
This is better than that.
No way to go but up.
Okay.
So he says, I'm going to get another TV series from doing the show.
I mean, you know his history a little better than I do.
Which TV series had he done at this point in his career?
Well, we're going to learn later that he is talking about law and order.
Okay, but he was on there for all of 40.
Yeah, we saw those amazing clips.
Well, I'll tell you what.
I know he was nominated for the Emmy for it, obviously, as we know, but he was out there for 14 fucking seconds.
A little bit later, we're going to learn about his supposed four-season arc.
Okay.
On Law and Order, Criminal Intent.
Okay.
Well, I didn't know about that.
He was a big star.
We could hit that right now if you'd like to.
Let's go.
We could start with this number 30 then, Carl.
Oh, shit.
All right, yeah, I want to know about this.
Okay.
Shop, buy some merchandising.
Yeah, absolutely.
I'm broke.
So, uh, how long were you on the Law & Order?
Four seasons.
Yeah.
How'd that come about?
Well, I auditioned for the regular Law & Order, which is the scene on the way.
Right.
With Jerry Orbach, Sam Watersden.
So I got lucky
There's three or four producers that do different
The different shows
So Dick Wolf was there
He looked at me
He goes
Who's your age and he goes
Martin Mishotti?
He goes love Martin
Love Marcia
My manager
I'm calling her
I have an idea
That's awesome
That's right
Dick Wolf saw him and said
I have to get more of this guy
After the scene we watched
Where he found the body
And goes
Oh my God
I should open up this garage door
And then he's never seen again
Yes
And Vinny, we should give a quick background because we did a bonus show on this guy.
Yes.
And it was fantastic.
You did a tour with Gallagher and Bob Nelson, and they were doing morning TV, local morning TV, promoting their shows and stuff.
And we got to see him acting in law and order.
And you actually worked for this man.
Yes, I did.
I spent about two years working for a chain of comedy clubs called The Joke Factory, where he was the CEO and executive in charge.
and one of the things that already does
that is second to none
is name dropping. And I put together a quick compilation.
This is just from a 60 second block.
Just 60 seconds of the show.
These are all the names that are dropped.
Ronald Hager, Janie Frickie.
John Kay from Steppenwolf
and I started with like the Shirelles,
the Marvellads, Joey D, who was from Clearwater.
So when I, Joan Rivers is the one,
Eddie Murphy, Robert Wall,
Joy Bayhard, Richard.
Bell Zor, Richard Gear, Kevin Spacey,
Courtney Cox,
Fran Dresher.
He dropped!
It's such a good supercut,
because that's not even all the names he drops, Carl.
Not even close, like I said, 60 seconds on the show, was that?
He drops names of people you've never fucking heard of all the time.
To try to make people.
Gary shut.
Hit number 21 for me, Carl.
This is a great name drop deluge.
Okay.
These are people you've never heard of, but watch him go.
Eight months later, they signed me.
And then I signed with Willamina for acting,
because I went to the New York School of Arts, which is fame.
Right, right.
No, he didn't.
And then I studied under David Schumann and Weiss Beren,
who, coach Richard Gear, Kevin Spacey,
Courtney Cox, Fran Dresher, this guy,
and he produced a lot of the episodes of the Equalizer.
So, and then I took voiceover lessons from a guy named Glenn Halls,
big guy in New York.
So my first big break in showbiz was,
I was the voice of the Lego Maniac,
all toys sold separately, maniac, not included.
Wow.
Wow.
These guys are so unimpressed by this.
I know.
The resume just is not doing anything.
Now, let me tell you something.
Fran Dresher hit TV show.
Kevin Spacey, Academy Award.
Did he win an Academy Award?
I think so, yeah.
Yeah, Academy Award-winning actor.
I was the voice of the Legomaniac.
You might know me from such things as like,
uh, battery sold separately.
Wow, that was you?
Holy shit.
You're a jerk.
Include the batteries, asshole.
I really don't believe anything he says.
No, he's a liar.
I went and I tried to look up
the Lego Maniac.
I think I have a commercial that might be him.
You guys tell me, it's number 22, Carl.
Just I clip the end of it.
Okay.
Space was only big enough for one star, the Lego Maniac.
R2 Bill.
The Lego system's bilgeous collection, each set sold separately.
Batteries and Maniac not included.
Not included.
That was him?
I don't know.
It sounds like it maybe possibly could be?
Did he just say batteries and Maniac, not included?
What kind of toy is this?
Just a box.
That sucks.
I watch like 20 Lego commercials just listening for that little clip like he said it.
And that's the only one.
And because you love toys.
Yeah.
So, you know,
Lego commercials.
Sometimes he does a bad job of name dropping.
Like in this example where he's making a Scientology joke.
Go to Home Depot.
Go to Row 3.
Should we throw the disclaimer out now since Artie's on the show?
I'm not going to swear.
Hey, look, I've been on with Gallagher.
five years. I know that. I saw
you. It was fabulous. It was absolutely
fabulous. I don't need
to swear because, you know, I'm Scientologist.
I would have sex
with Leah Ramee. I'm just going to get that
disclaimer right of the way.
What the fuck is Leah Ramey?
Say, I've ever heard of Leah Ramey?
What a lucky gal.
I know. If you ever find out who that is,
well, let her know. You'll fuck her.
Dude, he really...
Lear Remedy! Sorry, go ahead.
I'm just saying, he really can't help but have it.
up, whatever there's a lady around.
Hit my number one.
He starts hitting out this woman right out of the gate, Carl.
He's very excited about her.
Here in the studio with us tonight, we have actor, comedian, author, recent author.
As a matter of fact, Mr. Ardy Fletcher, welcome to the show.
Artie, thanks for being here tonight, brother.
He is.
He's a dream of mine, Ardy.
Look at that.
Tonight show.
You couldn't even sleep last night.
No, Todd lied to me.
He said the chick would be topless.
I don't have any control over.
that. I wore a diaper for this gig.
Just for me, Artie, look at that.
Oh, my gosh. I'm spooning
over here. I just felt
movement. But you know what?
It's still, the show is still early.
You know, and I know you got games.
So who knows what may happen?
Yeah, I'm going to get another
TV series. Stop, but I'm sorry. We overlapped.
But he comes after this woman.
Hold on a second. Before you move on from that.
Yeah.
What Artie does, that's fascinating to me,
is he connects two concepts together and thinks it's a joke?
Yep.
When they don't make any sense together.
I thought you'd be topless.
I wore a diaper.
Mm-hmm.
Is this similar to, like,
what we learned that Aaron Hymol like to jerk off in a sleeping bag?
Does this guy come in diapers or something?
Like, why would you need a diaper if she's topless?
Does he know how sex works?
I think he's shit himself.
Hey, some people are into that.
Hey, look at her.
Oh, wow.
Well, I'm done.
Yeah.
Can you imagine him at Marty Graf?
Do you have some cab fare or?
He'd have a real hard time
In Orleans
He'd fit right in
And funkadelic though
That's true
So can I play a joke that
Sure
Bombs
Sure
I know you always love
When he does jokes that bomb
This one actually connects
Yeah
It actually makes sense
But no one gets it
And or doesn't think it's funny
So
Why are there no
Walmart and Iraq
Why?
They're all targets
I was just
It was funny, but I just wanted to see how...
This is like being on the worst version of the Millionaire show.
Okay.
What does that mean?
I don't know.
What I learned about this is these chuckle fucks were laughing in everything.
Like that example where he was like, I thought she'd be top of us.
Ha!
I can't control that, please.
And then he goes, hey, why aren't there any Walmarts?
They're all targets.
What do you mean?
Suddenly it's the Tom Myers panel.
Right.
Ha.
Well, it was funny, but...
I don't know why they didn't get it.
that. So we're like,
I mean,
I guess Walmart isn't there yet then?
They just said that. Yeah. They literally
didn't understand franchising.
Here's another fun joke he did. Number eight,
Carl. Okay.
The girls are so smart in Florida.
I'm grabbing the booze. They go, what are you doing?
I go looking for a lump. And they go, really,
I'd never find anybody.
It's usually one of my pants. Check please.
That's my new catchphrase, by the way.
Check please. Check please is going on the board for the creep off.
love it. Check please. Let's get that trending. But right before that he did this other
joke number seven where he's trying to make a joke and he kind of does a norm thing here
where he comes at it from a real serious angle. Okay. In order to be a pervert. I was involved
with breast cancer awareness. I was a spokesperson there with junior diabetes. So I went a step
further. Okay. I took a night class online and, you know, for mammograms. I do that now on
the side. I feel for lumps. Do you give feet?
you free inspections, right?
Absolutely.
Hello.
I get it.
Fucking creepy.
He's just staring at it.
He's staring at her shaking his head and then goes, hello.
Hey.
Nothing turns women on more than talking about breast examinations.
They love that.
Passeir?
They get real fucking wet when you start talking about that.
What a long,
creepy way to go for the female breast inspector show.
So immediately he starts big-timing them.
Again, he was on the show for over two hours.
Yeah.
So he's got time.
But he wants to start off by name dropping and big timing.
Yes.
My manager, Martin Mishat, she also manages her.
This is back of the day.
I meet Fran, and she doesn't tell her.
She's not annoying.
Oh, so that's just part of them, too.
Yeah.
No, but the best story, I'll give it to you three in your listeners, watchers, whatever,
is when I was nominated for me and I went,
My manager, Marnie goes, you guys know Megan Mouquet from Will & Grace?
She is so hot.
Oh, my God.
So anyway, she comes over and she didn't talk like Karen.
She didn't talk like that.
Right.
She goes, oh, you're Martyr's wonder boy.
She talks about you all the time.
She goes, so what are you?
And I'm with David Tell, Jim Florentine.
We're standing there.
She goes, so what are your plans?
Where do you want to go for you and her?
I'm going, I'm hoping that you're going to be my whole time.
hell room and I can bang you.
She goes, oh,
she like the girls, she takes my
face and David's hell pushes it in her chest.
So I haven't been right since.
But anyway, she was, why would you
want to? I go, because you wanted any. I didn't.
I go, when you pass out drunk, I can hold the Emmy up in pictures
you nude. Boom. And you can play with her
boobs. Jesus Christ. That fucking guy. That's not even a story.
No, no. I had a conversation with a person
you might have heard of. He's not a TV show.
Cool.
Megan Malali.
And David Tell us there?
Isn't that her name?
Yeah.
Megan Mulcady.
Yeah.
She didn't even get it right.
Scott and Johnston is, I mean, all these people are so stupid.
Yeah.
They'll talk over each other.
They act like they're just hanging out the whole time.
I guess they are.
They are.
Yeah.
I learned a fun fact during this.
I've got Artie's an asshole to have worked for.
He's not very nice about people he used to work with.
What you just learned that?
That's the parallel with Stuttering John is that Artie trash talks everyone.
he's ever worked with. They're all assholes. He does. I always wondered how it ended with him and
Rain Pryor, who was one of the original people who were on the jokes on U-Tour. That's something we talked about heavily.
Yes. And this is the first time I've ever heard him mention her and what happened. Richard Pryor's
daughter. Yeah, number 11, Carl. Okay. Don't, you know, don't forget to vote on our social media
poll. We'll be talking about that a little bit later in the show. We were wondering,
your opinion, who did you think was a better stand-up comedian, Richard Pryor or Eddie
Murphy.
I'll answer that for you.
So that's just,
we'll hang on to this.
No.
Let's give my opinion.
We're going to have a big discussion on that.
You guys know
the original jokes I knew
commentator Rain Pryor
was on the tour with us.
Me, Bob Nelson, Rain Pryor.
Nice.
She is the most incredible actor.
You will ever, actress
you'll ever see.
Is she funny?
Let's talk about something else.
Anyway.
Wow.
What an asshole.
It wasn't that.
They didn't ask.
No.
They didn't say it.
Richard Pryor's daughter very funny.
I haven't heard the mask anything yet.
Good point.
Do you know how, number one, he sandbagged the shit out of their promo for their social media
poll?
Yeah.
To explain that I used to work with somebody who was loosely attached to them who sucks.
Yeah.
That's a long way to go to shit talk someone for absolutely no reason.
All right.
Not only does he shit talk, and I have examples of other people he shit talks like Gallagher.
Oh, God.
Which is very funny.
Actually, let's go there first.
This is his batch of Gallagher.
but and I'm going to be doing an audio book in October
but hold on I looked for this
is there a fucking audio book
it's already Fletcher's book did he read his book somewhere
if there is it's probably on CD
I can't I couldn't find it
I mean I didn't do a ton of searching if anyone knows
if I can find I have an audible account
so just let me know we will do this book
I would love to don't get hung up on it I mean
we've established he's a liar
I know don't get your hopes up Carl
I know I'm just saying
Yeah, in October I'm doing an audio book
and then I'm flying over to England to jam with the stones.
All right, Hulk Hogan.
You know I was almost the basic art for Metallica?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay.
We all were.
Right.
And I'm going to be doing an audio book in October.
Uh-huh.
But the follow-up to this,
Gallagher will be, I will destroy it.
Anyway, that's just me.
But, um, for you.
Gallagher's not watching.
Please.
Harry Podhead, it wouldn't matter.
So, I mean, you know, most people carry, he's had five heart attacks, he's got stints.
Most people carry a condom in their back pocket.
He's got an extra stint.
Believe me, it's unreal.
Man.
My goodness.
I get that out of the way.
Jesus, he's getting nothing for these jokes, too.
Carl, he's not done heckling Gallagher, or talking about Gallagher.
Hit my number 28.
Okay.
This is, the guy asked him a question about hecklers.
Have you ever dealt with a heckler?
and again, he goes out of his way
to fucking smash Gallagher.
Bringing up heckling,
have you ever had somebody
that threw you for a loop?
I'm glad you said that.
On this last tour,
the last year,
Gallagher, I just walked offstage
out of the theater,
okay?
What a show.
Because of who I am,
and then you figure they respect him,
these are his fans,
hecloom, so that's pretty bad.
Wow.
You suck, fit.
You know,
and I'm like,
oh, my God, yeah.
I'm like, oh, my God.
I come off with that New York attitude.
So when you're in the Midwest, they respect you.
Now, if you're not funny, they're going to heckle you, okay?
But on this level, because of your accomplishments and who you are,
they just paid $75 to see you.
Are you going to pay $75 to $100 to heckle the guy you like?
No.
That doesn't really, doesn't.
Gallagher and I are out and we would be in.
Okay.
So sorry, that's a little rambly.
but he continues the story
and I cut a whole bunch out
number 29
okay
really good he'll take pictures with everybody
now he can't come out at the end of the show
he's covered
oh and
so yeah he goes
and he goes right to the dressing room
so it's really funny
he doesn't hear the comments
Bob and I wouldn't you know here
like he really suck man you guys were you know
we would hear this and you know you got to be
professional keep your mouth shut
Yeah, you don't want to jump on the wagon and go, oh, yeah.
Some guy, I remember Cincinnati, Ohio yelled out, you got lucky smashing fruit.
That's what you're famous for.
That was funny, 40 years ago.
That guy was me.
Bob and I look at it's like, oh, God, it's going to be a riot.
You know what I mean?
Wheelchairs everywhere, you know?
Yeah.
He just goes out of his way to talk shit about people.
I'm trying to just emphasize that.
it's pretty shitty.
Why would anyone want to work with this man?
Well, I would imagine...
I'm not sure what he does.
I mean, here's a thought.
Like, dating John Melendez.
You know, like the creepy shitty shit he says after the facts,
or like Aaron Immolts, another good example.
It's just like, why would anyone want to be with this person
who's just going to turn around and say the rudest shit about you possible after the fact?
I would say a reason you would want to work with Artie is you were run off the internet
because people are making fun of you too much.
Much.
Yep.
I think that's right.
And a lawsuit backfired in your face.
Now, he thinks that they can't handle him.
And there are times when he's just like,
geez, maybe I'm too good for you guys.
Actually, three now, dude.
Dude.
See, when you get older, it's like, you'll say, it's not fun.
You know, you go to a doctor and, you know,
you see a girl who takes her top off and you're like,
okay, I remember that.
And that's it.
She's in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
I'll tell you, I know what that is.
I'll tell you, I got no respect up there.
Mr. Rodney.
What am I going on?
I'm taking you guys right out of your level.
His Rodney impression was so much, it was just like,
well, I don't have to do our show anymore.
One of the guys is leaving.
Yeah, this is too much.
This guy's too funny for me.
Gallagher had the right idea.
We're leaving.
Yes.
And so then Scott tries to make a joke here,
and I think it gets a chuckle from someone.
but Arty's very offended
that someone else is trying to be the comedian
This woman one time at a bar
picked me up in New York
And she says
She drop you?
You want to get out?
I'll do the comedy
Okay
You want to come back to my house
You know, I'm married
I go
Your husband's mine sharing the bed
Will he move over?
What's going on here?
So here's what you got to do
People go, oh
When you're hitting on a girl in the bar
What if she's married?
What if she got a boy?
boyfriend. I go, dude, I'm a trained actor. I will turn gay in a second. You know,
girl comes up, this is my, or he comes up, can I help you? I go, oh my God, I was looking at her
shoes. They were so nice. Oh my God. Hey, and I go running into the bathroom. So he goes,
I'll do the comedy route here, and then immediately bombs with three or four things that he
tried to accomplish there. So those are, I mean, a lot of this shit is stuff he does on stage.
Of course. One of them. Yes.
He acts like none of his jokes bombed.
I know.
It drives me crazy.
I meet a married woman.
Your husband row over so there's room for me?
He thought that was a joke.
I'm sorry.
Vinny, what did you pick up on this episode?
I was just thinking about that.
It's pretty lame.
Number 10, Carl.
Like I said, he acts like none of his jokes bomb,
and then he tells a great story about his hat.
And you didn't know as a hooker.
You just thought you a game.
Ladies gentlemen, for you watching out here,
It's like a bad version of the gong show.
Oh, man.
Without a gong.
Look, I wear a red shirt.
I look like Kool-Aid sitting on the couch.
Kool-Aid.
I tell you this hat.
368 Gallagher shows.
I still have it.
368 Gales shows.
What does that mean?
You wore the hat?
Gelger wore the hat.
Who gives a shit?
Auntie looks like Kool-Aid.
You get it?
Because you wore the red shirt?
how embarrassing is it that you would know it's 368 shows?
He loves.
I number our podcast.
I can't tell you how many shows we've done.
It's very forgettable.
It should be.
Shouldn't keep that close to track.
So through this show, he is just a sandbagging piece of shit.
Yeah, he's hard to work with.
So number 15, I think is a good spot to check in.
Normally I'd say let's go on and talk to our guests, but we've been talking to him this whole time.
That's how you're doing an interview.
You don't formatted.
I'm digging it.
But we do have some events to talk about.
So we're going to talk about those real quick.
And then we'll just seriously dig in.
You have an event?
Artie show.
We talk about concerts and shows and stuff like that.
Some of the fucking show, idiots.
We're going to fall asleep.
He's going to fall asleep on us.
Oh, yeah.
Let me know where a handsome devil is.
I got to know that.
No, we don't talk about local shows.
Local bands.
We talk about national acts.
Really?
No cover vans.
Yeah.
Oh, good.
That's a point.
That's already covered by...
Talk about Greg Billings.
Come on.
Let's get a lot.
Go ahead and fire off that video there, Doug.
Kick it.
Could you imagine having someone just talking over everything?
He's not in the key on frame.
He's just shouting from the other side of the room
and to completely interjecting himself into this.
They literally said, we're going to get back to the interview.
But first, we're talking about some events that are coming up.
This is a thing that we do on the show.
Here's a ball you can play with.
And this, just like when John Malone is,
on that guy's show in Iowa.
Yeah.
And the guy's, like, doing his show,
and John keeps, like, interjecting himself.
Just like, you're on his show.
His audience is listening to this.
These people who are watching this show,
the four people on Facebook Live,
know that they're going to go through the events that are coming up.
This guy's like, well, how do you do that?
Which events do you promote?
Do you promote this band or that bad?
It's like, just let me do the fucking thing.
He's yelling some guy who has a personal beef with Snavout.
Of course he is.
Hold on a second.
Hit number 16 because it gets actually more infuriating
as they try to get through this.
Quiet Riot, Vickson, Bang, Tango, Vane, and Moore.
Okay, timeout.
Where is that?
It is in Columbia, Maryland, at the Merry Weather Postman.
That is where Kix is from.
Absolutely.
That's not where they got discovered, but that's where they're from.
Harrisburg, PA, is where they got discovered.
Right.
Guy's name is John Harris.
He kept bringing them to the club, then he was managing them.
Shut the fuck out.
That's where they got found.
You heard of that club Hammer Jacks that everyone?
Oh, Hammer Jacks.
rejects, please.
Yes, yes.
So this is a great...
That's fascinating.
Please, go on.
This is stuttering John in a fatter suit.
Yes.
Because they are the same.
Yeah, he has to, if he has any knowledge
on something, he has to tell you about it.
He has to show off at all times.
I met that guy.
He likes me.
What pisses me off about that,
in particular, is the hand-up shushing
them for him to talk.
He's got his figure up, like,
shut the fuck up.
I'm telling you something fascinating.
I'm the legend here.
Yeah.
It keeps going, number 17, Carl.
It's going to feature every mother's nightmare, bow on shakes, and many, many more.
It's going to be a lot of fun.
So looking forward to that, guys.
You know, wait a second.
Real quick with kicks.
We were in Oklahoma Gallagher and I.
We were doing the show, so they had the metal thing, you know, that herination thing.
I haven't seen kicks in like a million years.
First of all, they're all off drugs because they were heroin acts.
They sounded so I was so, I had a tear.
They were that good.
Seriously. I don't know why Jackie doesn't like me.
That's all.
Carl. Yeah.
They get out of it. Number 18 is just really funny because this is the one time some of
their expressed annoyance with him.
So when do we need some music? We can do that?
Are you going to wait to later?
Hey, no, let's talk about you, man.
We have been.
We have been talking about yourself.
She's got eight minutes left. Let's talk about you.
No, no, no.
It's a fucking asshole.
So we talked about earlier
Sometimes he tells jokes that don't connect
They don't make any sense
Like the diaper joke and her being topless
Yeah
This is another example of that
Try to figure out what he's talking about
I'm a little retarded looking guys
The Big Bang Theory guys are hung like bulls
I hate that that's not fair
I got talent and good looks
And I get you know
Some hooker I asked the hooker
How much?
She saw my penis
she gave me change.
I'll tell you, I'll tell you, I'll get no respect.
I asked to hook her how much.
She saw my penis and gave me change.
Does you know how trading money for sex works?
What does that mean?
Carl, I don't remember what this clip is,
but I think it's more impressions from him.
Hit number six, and I labeled this
and no one says that,
and you would think he was the real people.
So I like when people go, oh, yeah, you and Gallagher after a show, you must go wild.
They go, okay, we're not kids.
After a show we're going, geez, I hope the Waffle House is open.
Yeah, right?
Right.
Hope Perkins is open.
I want a good piece of pine.
You know, one time I did Penn State with Gilbert Godfrey, the sorority girls who booked this early.
Yeah, it's funny.
They go, you guys are going to come back to the sorority house, the tradition.
So Gilbert's like, okay.
Will it be a nap involved?
You have a bed?
Have a pie?
You have pie?
I'll go back to that.
Yeah, it was so funny because he's serious.
He's always serious.
But, yeah.
He's the worst.
He's the worst.
The sorority girl's like, hey, can I suck your dick, Gilbert?
And Gilbert's like, ah, can I think of that?
That's my Gilbert version.
Hey, look at me of Gilbert over here.
Yeah.
I'm sure the sorority girls were rushing.
She's not already in Gilbert guys.
Of course they were.
This is the richest thing he says throughout this entire show.
I'm not a pity agent, okay?
Let me tell you something.
You have to accomplish something in your career.
Don't talk about it.
It's what you did.
That's wild.
All he talks about is what is accomplishments throughout his career,
bragging about it, the Emmys,
and then immediately after that, he says this.
Somebody goes, why did you stop being an agent?
I got four bands signed.
I was getting bored with it.
Okay?
So I went to work for Joan Rivers.
So he didn't go to work for Joan Rivers.
Hold on a second.
People are asking him, why did you stop being a music agent?
Is that what people were asking him?
But Arty, you're so good at fighting talent.
Why would you stop doing that?
I've been there, done that, kid.
You've got to do other things now.
I need a new challenge in my life to master.
A new mountain to climb, so to speak.
He brings up working for Joan Rivers a lot.
Yeah, but he didn't.
I believe not.
You know who he was, his girl, he dated a girl who, like, worked for her.
Okay.
That's the story I've heard.
So he was not an employee of Joan Rivers.
He does say that Joan got him his very first gig.
He does say that.
I think that's my clip 20.
I thought we played that.
Oh, never mind then.
How about this?
Can I real quick, though?
Let me just finish this up because he goes immediately from talking about how he was this
amazing A&R guy to then, you know, managing bands and everything,
to then talking about a gig that he has coming up.
and interesting brag here.
Hey, there is something I didn't want to tell you guys.
She knows C.Js. You all know CJs, right?
Yeah.
I'm going to be there June 20th.
Nice.
Ah, with the Reverend Bob Levy from Howard Stern.
Because we're the original bad boys.
All right.
And on the bigger shows, Jim Florentine's with us from, you know, VH1, that metal show,
Crank Danger.
Jim was my roommate.
Okay.
But, I mean, I think tickets are $10, $15.
Every place else, we're doing theaters on the East Coast, Fort Myers,
where tickets are $40, $50.
So that place is going to be standing in rolling.
Okay.
What's great about this?
There you goes, guys, I have a show coming up right down the street, CJ's.
That one's going to suck.
So if you go to that one, that's not what we normally do.
Normally, I have Jim 14.
It's a theater.
Tickets costs a lot of money because they're so fucking good.
How convenient.
Yeah, can one of you guys bring a thing of blue cheese?
How convenient that the one time he's doing a show that's, you know, not going to be as big.
It just happens to be the one that's near them.
Also, just to keep in mind that Artie Fletcher was on Suttering John show not that long ago and trashed Bob Levy.
Yep.
You just got to go back seven years and he's just like, oh, Robert Bob Levy from Howard Stern, we're the bad boys of comedy.
We're going to be coming through on this tour.
And then lo and behold, he hates Gallagher, he hates Bob Levy.
Raid Pryor sucks.
Stuttering John coming soon.
here's something that didn't happen
number 23 Carl
oh yeah
I was gonna play this one next to
but I'll tell you this
somebody when I was we did Jimmy Fallon
he goes what was the biggest commercial you had
I go
Eclipse scum
I made about 74,000 off of
Wow no wow
And then I had red lobster
I did red lobster I did bearer trade
So I was hot I was on fire
Nice
Okay again just like John
He has to tell you the dollar amount he made
Doing something
Yeah, you know
They paid me 30,000 for the
Pro Football Arm Wrestling
Championship
He just said
When I was on Jimmy Fallon
You was telling Jimmy Fallon
I was telling Jimmy Fallon
How much money did you make off that Eclipse gum commercial
Dude, have you seen the Eclipse gum commercial
No, I have not
Well, I have it right here for you number 24
I can't wait
I can't wait
What's telling me
I'm going to get
A lot of
Clips gum, now in polar ice to kill the toughest taste for good.
He doesn't even speaking right of that.
No, what he does, he says, are you enjoying your food?
Right.
To this woman who's appalled by his breath.
$74,000 for that?
Yeah.
It was a Canadian commercial, too, by the way.
That seems unlikely.
Now, I want to tell you the best story that Florenti told me this past weekend about R.D.
Fletcher and Eclipse gum.
I have permission to share this one.
Thank you.
You know what?
I should have asked you earlier
if you have permission to tell us
why we were watching this episode
or anything else like that.
But go ahead.
I'm not going to tell you why we're watching this episode.
Sure, sure, sure.
I'm not going to tell you who the other 40 views were.
But anyway, your buddy Jim 14 was telling you what?
Yeah, so Artie and him and Jim's girlfriend
were driving somewhere.
I guess Artie was driving the car
and Jim went in to use the bathroom.
His girlfriend went and bought a pack of gum
and came back to the car.
Jim was still in the restroom.
And the girl bought a package of Dentine.
Okay.
And Artie flipped out on her.
What are you not buying Eclipse for?
I get money when they buy when people buy Eclipse.
What's wrong with you?
You're buying Dentee?
For real?
Yes, he gave this poor girl.
She's like, oh my gosh, I already.
I didn't know.
I'm so sorry.
And then Jim doesn't know any of this until they get back to the hotel room.
The girl's like, yeah, I felt bad.
I already got mad at me because.
I bought dead teen
And he's like, what?
He doesn't know that has nothing to do with anything in the grand scheme of things.
Yeah.
One person buying one package of gum.
He's mentally ill.
I get money from that.
He's yelling at some girl.
That's hilarious.
Trying to put a goat trip on her.
Unbelievable.
He tells a story after that.
Now, take your top off.
This story right here is so stuttering John Ask.
I'm also going to call bullshit on it.
And these hosts who are impressed by everything are so unimpressed by this.
So here's the best story if you get.
I had an apartment with Florentine.
The residual checks, 200, 100,
I would put them on a wall.
I tell my room, I'm going to put these all cover,
we're going to cover the whole wall,
and then I'm going to pile of the URFA in the wall.
I get a call from the union like eight months later,
payroll right in California.
Mr. Fletcher, what are you doing your residual checks?
Yeah, man, I'm proud of those.
I'm put, no, you've got to cash them.
Right.
So I don't want to take them all off the wall,
so tell me.
my other roommate, Chuck Bigginnell,
you go, Chuck,
take those off the wall, I'll give you half.
Damn.
Whatever it is, I figure it's like
$3, $4.00. It was more
like $1,700.
Wow. Cool story.
Cool story, man.
So,
these are residual checks from commercials.
I don't believe...
He's got roommates.
I don't believe this happened.
No, of course not.
He gets like, it checks for like $100, $200,
I forget, I don't know, $400,
$700. $700.
That's easy math to do.
You should be able to look at them and be like,
I was going to say it's on the wall.
It's over 1,500 bucks.
I was referring to the part of, they called me to say,
Ardy, why did you cash $1,700 worth of checks?
Yeah, yeah.
Where all of our books are off, Ardy.
The unions are disaster.
Our P&L is fucked until you catch these checks, man.
Come on.
Help us out.
What happened was, I got to get these things off the wall.
I need money.
Help me, Chuck.
Yeah.
What a dumb story that was.
and no one was impressed by it.
Oh, you want to hear some more dumb stories?
I love these dumb stories.
Okay, so listen, you know how we were talking about Dick Wolf in Law and Order earlier?
Of course.
Okay, so let's talk about when Dick Wolf saw him.
I got a little bit of run eclipse here for you, Carl.
This is some of his Law and Order stories for everybody.
What's the number we starting with?
We're starting with number 31.
Okay.
But the first one we learned that Dick Wolf saw him on that one scene that we watched
and put him onto criminal intent.
and here's the first scene he did for criminal intent, him telling the story.
And I've never seen this, and by the way, everything already's ever done he puts online.
I can't find this anywhere.
Okay.
So now they, she goes, did you talk to Dick Wolf?
I go, yeah, he said he had some kind of idea.
I just figured he would be nice.
He goes, yeah, they want you to do special victims unit.
So I go do it.
I'm in the scene with I, with I, which is great.
The scene is we're in a social club
It's Italian, Brooklyn. Hey, how you do?
So
Guys are playing
cards. So
Ice-D comes in with
Belzer, you know, and they go,
we just found three bodies
in your dumpster.
You know anything about it? I'm running the
freaking club here. What are you kidding? That's how I talk,
you know?
He goes to walk away if you know
anything, call us. So I look at the rest of the
to the guys, the Italians, you know,
so like, about this mignon, eh?
He goes, oh, a muyan, he turns around, comes over.
He grabs him, ultimately over the bar.
So, Dick Wolf's there again.
Dick Wolf goes, I have another idea.
This guy was so good saying racial slurs the ice tea
that we need to put him in more things.
Yes.
Every time Artie's on set, Dick Wolf is standing there.
Of the four fucking law and order shows that he's producing,
he's always there for already scenes.
It's incredible.
Was that in the script?
No, this guy is too good for the script.
This guy's covered with racial slurs.
We could never have come up with the narrator's room.
Moolet Yacht.
Where did you come up with this?
Amazing.
So he continues to tell a little bit more about how he got this detective part, Carl,
that I don't think exists.
And he goes, what Italian name do you like?
I go, my family named Graziano.
You're Detective Graziano.
you're going to deal with special
you're going to deal with
the Mexican moms
the Italian moms the Asian moms
he goes you're out of Brooklyn
I'm going to put a black
Kangle hat on you you're going to wear his
black leather
because the police badgered
and Vincent will call you in when he thinks
it's gang related I did four episodes
they love that that's cool
Emmy
nominated
yes
she did four episodes
and he was apparently Serpico
That's the fourth time I heard that one guy say
That's cool at the end of these
I think he's now saying
Much like bless your heart
He's saying you're lying
Right
But does
Can we just please keep going with this for a second here?
Of course
He goes to a story about when he's on third watch
And what they told him
At the craft service table, Carl
This is important
Number 33
Third Watch
I know if you guys remember that show
That show is incredible
Absolutely
Okay, so the guy who played Bosco, we would go to, you know, craft services wherever it was that day.
He goes, you know, we're all talking.
You should be on sopranos.
You should be Tony Supranos's younger brother.
And they're going, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So when I met Gallant-Lefini, I told him, they could, yeah, it would work.
He goes, that would work.
That's insane.
That's how that works.
Hey, we need you to write
a new character
into the show
We just found this guy
He was just so magnetic
I can't
You thought you would be
Gandalfini's younger brother
Yeah, yeah that's too
Holy shit
But he continues
To sour grapes
The Sopranos here
And keep in mind
We just watch that
Eclipse gum commercial
Okay
Number 34
I could see that
And I could never get that show
You saw that picture
On the book
That was out of Eclipse gum
That's out of
Okay
And we did that to really
Shove it up
Supranos ass
That's what we did it for
Really
Oh no
Because
I did the Eclipse
Gov commercial
Which is on that website
By the way
I beat out
Seven of the guys
On the Sopranos
Did you
That commercial
Was produced by
Breck Eisner
Who is Michael
Eisner's son
From Disney
Oh okay
From Disney
We know
That's cool
Holy shit
This fucking guy
thinks so highly of himself
And so he did that to stick it up their ass
Oh they were crushed
The dentine gum commercial from the early 90s
Was made to shove it up the guys from the Sopranos ass
From the show that started in what
In 1998
99
This is the photo
They're talking about
I have it up on the screen here
So in other words
Whoever was casting the Sopranos went
Fuck
God damn
Damn it. We fucked up. We should add Artie Fletcher on the show.
Look at this guy's a natural.
He should have to stick it up their ass.
He's overacting on the poster.
You don't see Tony Sopranos little brother when you look at that picture?
What an asshole.
Drew Lane is here complaining about us being late earlier.
But he says, props to Vinny for this Artie Fletcher deep dive.
I've never heard of him.
Now I can't get enough.
His lack of self-awareness rivals stuttering John.
I heard Drew talking about Artie Fletcher on his show.
and I agree.
The more we could fight with this guy, the better this interview is...
I've been downloading everything I could possibly find, Carl.
This interview is amazing.
I'm very much enjoying it.
In fact, if you don't mind, I'm going to dip in real quick
because he talks about how he almost became a big star, big celebrity.
He had this comedy showcase in front of some big wigs.
And back then, he just had jokes about Amish people.
So I give props for the only time to Michelle
For saying hey tell us some of those Amish jokes
You used to tell let's hear some of his material
The first gig was five minutes of Amish jokes
How did that go?
Okay I would go on stage and go oh yeah man
I got a DUI was in Lancaster Pennsylvania
Let's see if I can remember this
I go I was in Lancaster Pennsylvania
I got a DUI by an Amish cop
So they start laughing they go
Don't laugh it wasn't funny
I looked at my rear room mirror
I saw the candles liquor in
and the Amish cop goes get out of the car
I don't think so
These are Nike's, they're brand new Nike
You're just wear shit everywhere
I don't think so
I said
I would do
Yeah I tried to bang an Amish chick once
It didn't work out but I know how to make candles
Yeah yeah yeah
I go oh why do they call Jersey the Garden State
Because if you lived there you'll be guarding everything you own
There you go
There you go
You always want someone to hear a joke and go
There you go
She was referring to one of the co-hosts
Who walked out of the room
And there you go
There you go
I love that Artie's so bad at comedy
He uses candle as a punchline twice
Yeah
Yeah sure does
You can't do that
Nope
Hope or something else they do
They build houses
Yeah
You know
You know
Anyway
So it's amazing to me
That this guy
has the confidence that he does.
And again, going back to that Suttering John parallel,
like if I bombed this badly with this material,
I would never say it again.
I would, much less opine over it.
Right.
He must have just be like, I'm glad you asked.
Let me tell you some of these jokes I said.
I'm wearing brand new Nike's.
I can't get out of this car because there's a lot of horse poop in Amish country
because they have like horse and buggies and then I'll have car.
Let me try it again.
You know, he used to play the cat skills, Carl.
Did he play the cat skills?
Yeah, why do you hear about that?
I've been there.
It's pretty cool
Clip number 35
I booked
Because of Jonah Rivers and the Catskills
It's all Jewish, I'm Italian
So I come in
My cross is like this
I go listen
You gotta put the cross in your shirt
You can't do this
He goes
You know this is a Greek
This is Jewish
disrespectful
I go hey you know who I am
That's what I said
You know
You know, so they go, yeah, we're sorry.
So, you know, I'm looking at the money I'm making for the week.
I'm making $2,500.
What kind of money that is then?
Yeah.
What kind of money is now?
Yeah, right.
For the weekend, I do four shows.
Jesus, stop talking about the fucking money.
He's John, bro.
He really is.
And I love how all the Jewish people are like, you know, that that's fine.
Come in to defile everything with your Jesus.
I'm so sorry, though you scare us so much with your New York accent.
And by the way, you know why he had Amish jokes, Carl?
Why is that?
Because he lived in Pennsylvania.
That makes a lot of subs.
He lived in Hazleton, Pennsylvania.
So I was trying to figure out while also there's a New Jersey joke thrown in there out of nowhere.
And you know why New Jersey is the Garden State?
I thought we're talking about the horseshit of the Rhodes, Pennsylvania.
I didn't want a nitpick.
Right, yeah.
Well, as far as I know.
We don't do that over here on WATP.
He never lived in New York City.
He lived in New Jersey for a while and he lived in Pennsylvania for a long time.
So, you know, the whole nickname of New York City bad boy is a misnomer.
Well, a lie.
Yeah.
You might be right about that.
I like this clip, too.
This is just a little fun one.
He talks about how he opened for Diana Ross
and how he was such a bad boy.
Number 26.
All right.
I mean, I've opened for 255 acts, you know,
and you've got to watch what you say.
So when William Morris, because you're going out with Diana Ross,
that you can't be Artie.
You know, you can't be art.
You just be nice.
Don't talk to her.
Don't look her in the eye.
I go, well, that's kind of hard.
You know, when you're raping a girl woman,
and you want to look her in the eye.
And they go, no, that's what we're talking about.
You can't do that.
Yeah.
Mr. Fletcher, please don't rape Diana Ross on tour.
Jesus, Christ.
So you're telling me, these professional agencies are like, hey, we know you're a terrible
fit to be opening for Diana Ross, but we're going to stick you out there with this
world note, like this sensation.
And you just have to be somebody completely different.
We don't have anybody else possibly in our roster who can do it.
It's you already.
Yeah, it doesn't make any sense.
opening for 255 different acts and also is not the brag.
He thinks it is.
And he talks about the blurbs on the back of the book.
Now, when we do the bonus show, we talked about Regis Philman.
Yeah.
Who said, this guy's a firecracker.
Yeah.
You know, I was on the front of the book.
That doesn't do with the book or anything.
But did you hear about the celebrities and what they run in the back of the book?
No, tell me more.
Oh, this is incredible.
He's very excited about it.
You know, I was going to tell you something.
My publicist, I have a black public.
She's incredible.
She got those quotes.
You see the quotes on the back of the book?
That's awesome.
She called because I work with all those people.
I said to her God, I'm really proud of you.
Does I cost that extra?
Joan Rivers says Arty's ability to entertain and adjust his act to any situation is just unbelievable.
See, that's it so funny.
It's like, Joan Rivers is a comedian.
That's the joke right there.
Yeah, he can go for Diana Ross or Gallagher.
It doesn't matter.
This guy's crushing it.
It's all going to suck no matter what show.
It is unbelievable.
It is unbelievable.
I'll give you that, Joe.
She thought I was mental.
She would say, she would, she'd tell my mother,
it's a bad thing.
Your son, you know.
This is the best one ever.
Angus Young from ACDC.
It's always a pleasure to work with someone
who has more problems than you do.
Are he is quite the line?
I was in their video stiff upper lip.
That's amazing.
So even the bores on the book have nothing to do with the book.
There's like, I bet this guy once.
Yeah.
Wow, that's cool.
That's the guy from A.
Easy.
Here's the thing, though.
Number 27, you had to talk about the reviews
of the book, Carl, from Amazon.
Oh, okay.
I had a lot about that.
So, you know, to sum everything up,
check out the book.
Anybody who's read the book, read the Amazon,
the Amazon deal, whatever it is.
Yeah.
Yeah, read the Amazon or whatever it is.
Whatever it is, yeah.
I believe I sent you a couple images from some book reviews,
Carl. I would love to see what those look like.
So they are bullshit, and I think he wrote them.
Oh, wow.
Look at this.
All five stars.
There's only 10, by the way.
There's only 10 reviews of this book.
So superb, Amy says, five stars.
This book is such a real and honest read.
You feel like you're as confidant
and literally can't put the book down.
It's grabbing.
And you just want to keep rooting for him all day.
I admire his strength and courage to persevere.
So inspirational.
Loved it, absolutely.
Again, another century John Parall.
Yes.
It's like this is going to inspire you.
Yep.
It should.
your fucking story should inspire me, Artie.
You're a fat loser.
I think the bottom one's bullshit too, clearly.
Tears of a clown from CG drums.
I have seen this guy Artie Fletcher on TV before.
Okay, yeah.
Right there, I'm calling bullshit.
My favorite gum commercial of all time.
This fucking guy kills him.
Did you ever see that anti-smoking PSA?
And always wondered what he was all about
because he's a wild man on stage when he performs.
Three exclamation points.
So I was so excited to fight.
a book on his life, leave it to Amazon.
Right.
Do they publish it?
Maybe.
This book was a great read, very interesting, well laid out.
Well laid out.
And the words went left to write.
It was so well laid out.
That's how I read.
It was a nice font.
I'm sorry.
Oh, white pages.
Very nice.
Black on white.
It's very pleasant for the eyes.
Well laid out and so entertaining.
I felt like I was at one of his shows.
Oh, no.
That's not.
could. I don't want that. So I put it down on the left. To read about all the tough times this man
went through to achieve his goals was amazing. Yet, and even though those hard times with relationships
and family, he kept getting back on the stage to make people laugh. I'm happy for him and happy
to have read his book. I wish him the best always. That's not like a random person. That's like
something to publish his throw, right? Review number two. This one is actually probably some idiot.
Well, I have an idea who wrote this.
Go ahead.
All right.
Five stars from Rass says,
Comedy on the Road has seen through the comics bloodshot eyes.
Awesome reading.
Enjoyed the book.
Couldn't put it down until I finished.
Fantastic.
Gives a great insight into the traveling comedian's lifestyle.
Huh.
I don't think that was the one.
Well, there's a review number two here.
Yeah, that's what I was saying.
Okay.
Sorry.
Best Motivational Book Comedy on the Road.
Best Motivational Book.
All right.
This is good.
This is a great inspiration.
book, never give up on your dreams.
This is an awesome book to add to anyone's collection.
But don't just read and put it away.
Read it again and pass along to inspire someone else.
Your biggest fan, good luck artie.
Who the fuck wrote this?
That's a psychotic review.
That's really nice.
Your biggest fan.
All caps too.
Yep.
Shouting it at us.
See, that's the only review that I believe someone he knew wrote.
Really?
You think someone was just fucking with him?
No, I just think somebody who,
Like some idiotous show.
This book's amazing.
Leave a review on my book, would you?
We've got to find the audio version of this book.
Oh, man.
How about we just read it?
Or we can just have AI do it, right?
Dude.
We get AI to learn his voice.
By the way, Artie Fletcher voice coming to the creep off super tips very soon.
I'm stealing that.
No, I'll let you.
Yoink.
I'll let you.
Boy, this is just, he's so bad.
There's so much shit in this, Carl.
I know.
I know.
Let's wrap it up.
We got to move on to other things.
Okay, can I just give you number 12?
This is the best plug for Artie's website I've ever seen.
Number 12.
My last clip.
Jay Giles lied yesterday.
Right.
Jay Giles.
Doing this out, sad, stuff.
Yeah.
I didn't hear that.
Hey, if you're out there, I know who I am, you must live under a rock.
But anyway, go to my website, artiefletcher.com.
Look at all the wonderful merchandising I have.
Nice.
Yeah.
Wait, hold on a second.
we were talking about Jake Giles?
Yeah, Jake Giles is dead, but I have merchandising at my website, Artie Fletcher.com.
You know who the fuck I am?
I don't know who are you in the Jay Giles pen?
I'm not familiar.
Why are you connecting those dots?
That's one hell of a freeze frame.
What a happy-looking guy.
Yeah, I see what you did there.
Thank you.
Artie Fletcher, everybody.
There's so much more on that.
It's incredible.
I know.
We should revisit it.
I think what we should do, Benny.
Let's do another bonus, because I know you have a bunch of more interviews from like morning,
local TV.
There's one.
that I heard about where Gallagher's yelling at him.
I'm still trying to find it.
All right, good.
I think we should do another bonus on Artie where we cover that and then maybe some of the clips that we didn't get to from this podcast because it was, like you said, almost two and a half hours long.
There was a lot.
Yeah.
A lot of stuff.
When I started clipping this, I realized, wow, I have 17 clips and I'm 30 minutes into this.
Yeah, I did the same thing.
I was clipping everything.
And actually, I was trying to be good about because I knew that it was going to get better.
So I'm like, I was going to get better.
but there was so much to clip.
There are things that I didn't clip that normally I would have.
He's a mess.
Speaking of messes,
Kevin Brennan, he thinks that Tom Myers is a guy.
And he has him on his show.
And what's funny about it is they're ripping on Ray DeVito.
So right there, I'm like, well, hold a second,
but you're talking to Tom Myers.
Well, my experience, only idiots have Tom Myers on their show.
Thank you.
Thank you.
anyway
this is
uh
kevin brunner than
mLC talking about
ray de vito with top
yeah but it's good
i think i think i'm done with like doing like
i'll pick and juice my dabble verse uh shows
like after especially like
and thank you brian landin
everything's cool but like just listen to them
be like oh ray was the worst thing like dude people sharing my name after every
comic that went on yeah as a joke
as a joke
as a joke.
I was leading the chant as a joke.
The fact that Kevin has to explain this,
I don't know if everyone's heard
what happened at Rodney's,
but they were chanting Ray throughout the night.
And it's because it's Ray.
Ray's hears that.
It's just like, I'm obviously the best comic.
They just want more of me.
Head games.
Yeah.
And so Kevin Brennan has to go on the show
and explain them like,
no, Ray, they're making fun of you.
Which, you don't have to explain that.
We know that.
But whatever.
It's just funny when Tom gets into the pile on.
And you are notoriously known as not a number one Ray DeVito fan.
I did it as a joke.
As a mockery, we're having fun.
Holy shit, this guy's stupid.
Oh, wait, Ray DeVito?
I'm glad you explained that to me, Kevin.
I had no idea.
Ray DeVito's stupid.
I appreciate it.
Tom Myers trying to be one of the guys.
guys is very off-putting.
It's like, it's almost reminds me of Tommy.
It's like an alien in a person's suit going, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, that's so good.
Look at me.
I'm Joe Rogan over here.
You're not Tommy.
Stop it.
Sounds like I missed the hell of a time.
It was, it was as a goof.
After Chad was done, Ray went on.
And then, uh, I know after Chad went on, I just walked up.
Because, you know, Chad and Ray have a history.
So I just started chanting Ray, Ray, right, after Chad.
I brought Chad up to Ray
and when Chad was done I brought
Chad off to Ray, Ray, Ray, Ray, Ray.
Because I knew Ray would
misinterpret it because he's an idiot.
Go back up and like do more
And
I have
I've seen video clips of them.
I have them saved where
he's literally talking shit about me
says I need to lean into being a bad
comic which
you know pot meat kettle
I mean if anybody is as a lack of
of self-awareness.
It's Mr. DeVito.
Holy shit.
Tom Myers.
Tom Myers is like someone has a lack of self-awareness is rich.
And the fact, like this falls flat because Kevin Brennan said they're going,
Ray DeVito sticks.
He's out a freaking stand-up.
And meanwhile, he has Tom Myers on as a legit guest.
Does he know who he's talking to?
The one guy that Ray DeVito is definitely funnier then.
This is.
It's insane.
He's like, hey, Tom Myers, come on my show.
Let's do a pile on how Ray's not very good stand up.
With Tom Myers?
You should have been chanting Tom, Tom.
Yes, if he was there, that would have happened.
It's hilarious to me that Tom just said, this guy lacks self-awareness.
Tom!
He's grooming Tom to be the next Ray.
Yeah.
But I don't think he is, though.
That's the problem.
I think that Kevin Brennan's just burned so many bridges.
We were talking about this on Devilverse Live with Alex Stein was on.
And we're talking about the fact that, like, Alex's just like, I don't know why Kevin treats you like this.
I've got on his show and, you know, been a good guest.
He's done everything I kept with the guy.
And he just wants to fucking blast my personal life and try to fuck up my relationship.
You know, like, that's Kevin.
There you go.
And now he's with Tom Myers.
Well, what we could say about Kevin is he has a type.
He sure does.
You can't be successful and last very long with KB.
Speaking of not successful, a karmic.
kind of thing happened to him this week.
Oh, no. Oh, my gosh. He got dumped.
Yep. He got dumped by Ron Fuddle,
aka Felicia Gillespie.
And he's pretty down to the dumps about it.
And he's back to drinking,
which is a bummer.
He's back home in rural
Minnesota, where all the lunatics
go to get made fun of in the Davaoverse.
And he's explaining
what happened and why he got dumped.
I'm back.
I'm back.
Arlo Canoli
I'm sorry
I'm sorry you're going through this one something you find what you want
Something to kill pain
That was in my pocket and she reached in
Looking for it
And then boom
It was over
Just because I came back home
I didn't tell her at the time
I got so insulted
She didn't trust me
And she reached in my pocket and found it
And I yanked her hand out of my pocket
So he got his YouTube channel nuked for harassment, harassment policy,
because he's a mini-begini on there on that YouTube.
He says a lot of crazy shows he's going to do to people.
Anyway, I don't agree with that.
I think he's a goofball and he said shit about me.
I would never strike his channel.
I don't care.
But he got his channel nuked.
And he was in Vegas at the time with his girlfriend.
And it was a big bummer.
And he got very upset and sad.
And so he turned to drugs.
Now, he doesn't explain what kind of drugs he was doing.
He just keeps saying things that dull the pain.
So I'm not sure what that means.
I mean, he doesn't seem like very experienced at life.
So I'm assuming it was like a packet of Kool-Aid.
Yeah, Excedrin maybe.
Yeah.
And I can see if Felicia be like, you're back on Accedron?
We talked about this.
Because she seems like a real fucking square.
It's mine, see?
Yeah, she seems like a real pain of the ass.
But yeah, he's down to the dumps and things are not going well for him.
Sorry to hear that, bud.
And now I'm drinking on top of it.
Yay me.
Oh, no.
It's Accedron?
Yay me.
So I get to live of that.
And she discovered it.
And I said there's nothing in my pocket.
And then boom, she left me.
Oh.
I am not, I don't deserve any pity.
I don't deserve any respect.
I fucked up.
All right, we're getting breaking news.
I don't watch MLC very closely.
But apparently, he said on MLC, it was Cody.
Not model airplane glue, as suggested by Steve.
Not cough drops.
But codeine is the answer to what he was on.
And that was a bridge too far for Gilly, who decided to dump him.
And so now, is coding a good time?
I don't know.
I was just thinking of it.
I know.
Is that, it's not,
isn't it like legal,
is it like over the counter
in Canada, I think?
You just have a little baggy of codeine?
Is that a thing?
A baggy?
I think they're pills, aren't they?
I thought they're like,
shit that's in Tyanol.
Like,
right, like,
I think in Canada
you can get it with codeine.
Right.
I'm pretty sure.
I could be wrong about this.
I don't think it's like a hard drug
or something that you'd be like,
I can't date you anymore.
Not if you're on codeine.
You weren't far off with the Accedron joke.
I know,
I was so joking about that.
No silent tape.
It wasn't tic-tacks.
It wasn't anal lobe.
I see all the jokes coming in.
BR.
Greg, this guy is more tiring than a pill in Carmix pockets talking about to Ardy Fletcher going back to Ardy.
Benny blessings.
Ardy Fletcher's jokes are as bad as Vinny's shirt.
God bless America, sir.
Team USA.
BR.
Greg, Carl, got to know what beer you're sipping.
That would be Miller.
light.
No, with codeine.
Can we crush up some
coding in this?
No, I just pour vodka.
On top of the vodka you already have on it?
Coding
is cough syrup.
Yeah.
I got it for my sore throat.
It says Gonzo Schittcock.
How are you going to fucking hide a bottle of cough syrup in your pocket?
Carmic.
Can we get producer Chris some fucking codeine then?
If it's cough syrup?
Sorry.
Jesus Christ.
Anyway, sorry to Carmack.
I hope he gets over it.
I know there's like no other people who live in his town.
So it's like, well, now who am I going to fuck?
He looks down his right hand and left hand.
At least there's options.
Hey, girls.
Guys come here often.
All right, let's get into Bill Burr, Billy Burr, put out an episode on Thursdays out in Atlanta.
He's doing comedy shows.
And he is in a good mood.
He's fired up.
This episode is called Atlanta Scandals Presidential Merch.
It's from the 15th of May.
It has 5,800 views on it on YouTube.
Pretty good numbers.
And he's in a good mood.
He comes out.
Very Opie-esque.
He's singing.
I'm just checking in on you.
Ooh.
How's it going, man?
Far out, man.
I am in Atlanta, George.
Georgia.
Georgia, oh, freckles.
Telling your jokes downtown.
What the fuck was that?
Some people should not be podcasting by themselves for 20 years straight.
It's very bad for them.
Who's answering him when he asks these questions?
Dude, he is just talking into the void because it's not a live stream.
There's no video component.
He was talking about this.
The other day, I saw him with Bob Odinkirk.
He had him on the show.
And he's like, yeah, I never upgraded my stuff.
I don't do a podcast like everyone else does.
I just talking to a recorder in my office.
He's like bragging about it.
He's like, well, that's why no one's listening to it.
You're not doing anything.
And it's getting brutal, though.
And speaking of brutal, he is very happy that anyone's coming to see him at the theater
that he's performing at because of this economy.
And whose fault is that?
So I want to thank everybody that's come out, you know,
and everybody that is going to come out to my show is because this is a brutal
economy.
It's just a fucking brutal
economy. That's just all there is
to it. And
I'm hoping, I don't know,
I'm just hoping somebody can turn
this shit around. So anybody that
is still coming out to my shows,
I really appreciate it because I know
entertainment's the first thing that gets cut out.
So, you know,
we're all connected, man.
So I don't know.
I'm hoping in the future this younger generation
will grow some
CEOs with a heart, you know, and maybe
no more, you know, the Grinch generations.
It's these CEOs, man.
If only the CEOs were better people,
the economy wouldn't suck.
This is what Bill has decided.
What did they do with the $1.2 million he got from the Riyadh comedy shows?
And I get some of that?
I think he went to his wife.
He said some of that, my way.
I've heard Bill was complaining he couldn't afford a helicopter
after he had his kids.
Oh.
You know,
he's a helicopter pilot,
but he too.
Yeah,
he can't,
he can't buy a helicopter.
They're too expensive for him.
But,
um,
I love that,
you know,
you have this very successful,
very wealthy guy,
which I'm fine with.
I think he earned all of his money.
He's very funny,
very talented man.
Now when it comes to drumming,
which we'll find out about,
but very talented in comedy.
He can act a little bit,
I guess.
I don't know.
I don't think to see him
in Star Wars ever again.
But he's fine.
And the fact that he comes out of here,
just like,
yeah,
I know,
times are tough, it's fucking CEOs.
You know, that's the problem with this
world. And it's not
just the CEOs. It's Trump.
And it's the people who support
Trump, of course.
Even if you got you make it great again,
hat again, you're going to have to buy one of those.
I just don't understand at what
point are you going to realize you're not in the
club. None of us are in the
club. We're not in the club.
None of this shit is for us.
This is for them
to finally do what they've always wanted to do.
fucking control all of it
and
take all of it for themselves
and we can all go fuck ourselves.
If only we had a Democrat
as a president,
they would fix everything because
Trump and these people who voted for Trump
they don't realize that they're not
in the club. Where have I heard that before?
Vinnie.
It's a big club
and you ain't in it.
It's literally just ripping
up George Carlin with that rant.
George Carlin does this whole thing
about the fact that, yeah, they don't give a fuck about us.
Yeah.
And the George Carlin's point was a little more sharp.
Yeah.
Because he was pointing out that both parties are fucking you.
Exactly.
And Bill, you may be a member of the club of that team.
That's what's crazy about it is you have this guy who's super wealthy who gets invited to be over and performing for the Saudi elite.
And then he comes back.
He's just like, ah, geez, you know, you guys, us regular folks.
We got a tough around here
You know, freckles, I'm a man of the people.
It's insane.
Stinks.
Yeah, I just don't know why he has this persona,
trying to pull up his persona.
No one's buying it.
It's not working for him.
And the thing that he does,
we talked about this.
He was in Vancouver,
filming something.
And you're going to tell us about the coffee shops
he went to.
Of course.
So now he's in Atlanta.
So we have more coffee shop talk.
And could you make a story
about going into a coffee shop interesting?
I bet you could.
I would think he got like Bill Burr could
Seinfeld had a whole
series about it, you know?
That's true. So you'd think you'd pull it off, but Bill
just does not even try.
So anyway, I had a couple of hit
hit or misses, you know, I went to some
places. I could only kind of judge
them by the
names. Like, that doesn't sound like a chain, right?
I guess I should have Googled whether it was a chain
or not. And I went to one on the first
day, you know,
great people working there, but
you know, you walk in and it looks
like an apple. Everything looks like a fucking apple store.
So when I was walking back,
I found this one
that is also, you know, has three locations
in Atlanta, but it was the best I could do.
Sort of a ballpark themed
place.
And, but like,
you know, I like, just when I went
in there, the vibe was a lot better. It looked
like a coffee shop and
the kids behind the counter
looked like they gave a shit,
you know?
All right. So let me understand
what's going on here. First off, if you're successful as a coffee shop, you're able to open up multiple
locations because people love the coffee and you can sell it in different areas, then you suck.
Noted. You have to have one location or else Bill doesn't want to go there. Also, the important thing about
a coffee shop is the aesthetic and the employees. Not the coffee. Okay. That's interesting. So it's about
the decor. It's about how many locations there are of that coffee shop. Well, you know, just shit in a cup and
hand it to Bill nicely and he'll be happy.
Right. Yes. As long as you're in only one location.
Right. As long as you're a black hipster, then you'll be fine.
I just, I don't understand what anybody gets from this conversation.
You know, journal about it, Bill. I know you're into journaling.
Write it down to your fucking book. We don't care.
I think it'd be interesting to set the, uh, the odds on how many years before he's back in
clubs. Oh. Because I feel like there's some kind of decline.
There is a decline here. And I'm wondering how long
before theaters are just
He's not feeling the way they used to.
He's a great stand-up.
I mean, didn't he sell out Fenway not too long ago?
I don't remember.
I think he sold out four or five years ago.
Not that long ago, but I mean, he's a Boston guy.
So, you know, Fenway is probably different on his home turf than other places.
But, God, he's a very good stand-up.
I just don't understand the point of this.
Why I do understand the point of this podcast is to talk to his wife.
This podcast is not for us.
It's for Nia, specifically, as we've talked about many times, and he proves this here again.
I don't know. I found this good, this great restaurant. I already forget the name of it.
A soul food place. Obviously, the influence of Nia. I went in. I did miss the breakfast.
So no grits then. Okay. We get it. Black culture superior bill. Jesus Christ.
I had to go eat black food with black people. You know, okay. We get it. I'm sure Nia's very proud of you. That's my bill.
He talks about when he went to one of the coffee shops, there was an influencer there.
I don't know if you guys know this, but influencers are dumb people, and he calls them out.
And then my favorite one was this woman just goes, she was like an influencer and she was just going like, I love this cafe.
It's just, I love this cozy little cafe.
And then when she gets inside, she goes, it's so spacious.
It's just like, how can it be cozy and spacious?
You're fucking idiot, huh?
You guys like that story?
That's pretty good.
I'm waiting for an anecdote, like something that's interesting that you can talk about.
Because it's just all like, I went to a place.
I'm not going to tell you what the name of it is.
There was an influencer.
She said something dumb.
I can't tell you who that was.
Didn't you do the same thing with like some band he listened or somebody, some band he didn't
say the name of the band or where they were?
Why would you just plug anybody, Bill?
If you liked it, if it was a good place and it's one shop, you don't think you could help
that place out.
Dude, check this out.
He almost, almost tells a story.
He was so close.
and then he catches himself and immediately stops.
He's like a funny little social moment.
I'm in the cafe
and they have, it's like a baseball themed.
I don't know if I can tell this story.
I don't want to get the person in trouble.
Yeah, fuck that.
This is way this fucking world is now.
Someone would just get this kid.
It was innocent, but they'll get this kid fucking fired.
So that's why he doesn't say anything.
I was interested for a second.
I know. He's just like, oh my gosh, let me tell you about this one weirdo that I
right now. No, I shouldn't do that.
Really? You can't just describe what happened?
It's a good thing we avoided that pothole, huh guys?
Yeah, no shit. Like, oh, no. I'm going to get this guy fired.
Probably not, Bill. No one's listening anymore.
Go ahead and try to be interesting for a minute. See what happens.
So he goes on to talk about how you can't say anything on the internet.
The internet always wins. They ruin people's lives.
And he goes into that whole story about the Coldplay concert last year.
where the CEO got put up on the Jumbotron with the head of HR.
They were having an affair.
They ducked down.
People saw that and figured out who they were and decided that the CEO is a bad guy.
He had to step down.
Andy Byron.
He resigned after that happened.
But Bill, you know, he even tells that story and still has to keep up with this narrative.
The Internet always wins.
No, it doesn't.
I mean, it's good at destroying an individual.
I haven't seen, has he, well, wait, wait, let's think about it for a second.
I've yet to see it take down a CEO because they own the Internet.
Dude, you just explained the Coldplay story, which is a CEO of a tech company.
And he's just like, yeah, but the CEOs always win.
All right, if that's, if that's your thing, I mean, I've never heard someone,
argue with themselves and lose on a podcast they're doing by themselves.
It's so weird to hear like a guy who's so wealthy talk like this too.
I know.
He's trying so hard.
The Riyadh thing, like it really fucked up his whole story because people were on board
with that.
Even Blind Mike was like, ah, is what Bill does.
He's a boss.
He doesn't like the bankers.
What does he know?
Yeah, exactly.
It's a fucking idiot.
I'm kidding.
I love Mike.
So I know that producer Chris is here for drums talk.
Oh, yeah.
I always love.
when Bill talks about playing the drums
and he's got a gig coming up.
And then I got a benefit coming up
and I'm going to do a stand-up show
and then play like four songs on drums afterwards
like I did when I was in England last year.
And I can't, I don't want to ruin the set list,
but these goddamn songs, each one of them,
each one of them's got the little tricky thing there
and I haven't really had the time
to try to map it out.
So this afternoon I got to kind of make
the old Billy drum chart here
to figure out like, okay, you know,
it's one of those things where, you know,
it's in four, then it goes into halftime,
and then they play a bar of three.
You know?
And it's just like, really?
It's a song.
It's a song I've heard a million times.
And when it was,
was suggested. I was like, oh, yeah, yeah, I can play that. I can play that. And then I
listen to it. I'm like, you know, when you're playing drums and you're going
along and then all of a sudden it's like turned around, like, all right, something just
happened there.
I got to say, if a time signature change makes it so you can't play a song, drumming's not
for you. You know, you can't be in Trevor. It'd be like, oh, my gosh, you listen four-four
to three-four. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then back to four-four, right. You've got to be able to
count that into your head and figure that out.
Also, he goes, I don't want to tell you the song, to spoil it.
To spoil it, who's going to this show?
Who's listening to this podcast?
Oh, I knew he's going to fucking do this.
Well, I'm out of here.
Yeah, to figure it out, go to the show, look for the one that he fucks up.
Then, you know, that's the one it was.
That's the crazy part is, like, again, everything's so vague that it can't possibly be interesting.
If he wanted to say, holy shit, do you guys know this scorpion song?
you know, the part after the bridge, like anything.
So we could be like following along, like, oh, yeah, yeah, that part.
He can't even tell us to make it a little bit interesting what he's talking about.
He's losing his mind.
He really, he's just talking to himself.
Yeah.
It's such a waste of everyone's time.
He thinks his set list is going to get canceled.
It's insane.
Yeah, right.
Like, oh, I can't tell the internet what song I'm going to perform at this benefit show.
You certainly can.
I can't tell you the coffee shop.
I can't tell you the story about.
Then why are you on the internet?
all right if you're this guarded about everything wow 14 minutes into the show we find out why
he's at the internet at all so now i have one of these so i guess my life's complete i can i can still
talk to my loved ones you know um anyway let's get into the uh the advertising here for the
week uh oh look who it is everybody it's him's then we get in the so boner pill medication time
It's to check in with his wife and to make money off of advertising.
Correct.
Got it.
14 minutes in, he switched to advertising, which goes for the next 10 minutes.
So that's quite the ratio right there.
That's 40% of the first part of the show is just advertising.
But he makes it so entertaining by using those voices that he learned from Opie.
Yes.
So that's always good.
He goes out of the advertising.
And he talks about something that I should be interested.
something that I'd be like, hey, this part's for me.
How about those Buffalo Sabres, huh?
Yeah.
Tying up the series.
Tying up the series is Lindy Ruff going to fucking out-coach whoever coaches the Canadians?
Because I feel like on paper, as good a team as Buffalo is, I feel like the Canadians are, they really have a scary, good team as far as for the near future.
He doesn't know the coach's names.
Yeah.
name any of the players. He did see that one
touchdown, though. He tries, he tries
to, yeah, I know during the show, he's watching
touchdowns all day. He tries
to explain the leading score
on Montreal gets his name wrong.
The guy with 51 goals in the season,
you're like, you don't have to talk about sports
Bill. You know, if you don't know
anything about it, there's really no reason
to. I'll be honest with you.
I have not, I'm not really seen
much of sports. I just keep, when I get off
stage, I just keep catching the end
of the
that Minnesota Spurs series
which looks like it's good
it was 2-1 Spurs
and then it was 2-2
and then I think it's now
3-2 Spurs
Jesus Christ
was going to Google or something
How's he know all this stuff?
I don't know why I watch ESPN anymore
I have to subscribe
Fuck Sports Center
I got Bill Burr's podcast
to tell me
Lindy Ruff versus that other guy
it's incredible
Opie was talking about this too
on his show recent
where he's like, the problem with sports radios, they go too deep into the stuff.
Right.
That's the problem with it?
Sports fans want to know what the head coach of the Montreal Canadian's name is?
I fucking despise sports talk when they keep it light because it's just a bunch of fucking
douchebags talking about movie references and the same shit that morning zoos talk about.
Yeah, it's a waste of time.
Some are good, some are bad.
There's a lot of bad sports talk.
Sure.
There's good sports talk, too.
I know that.
Missy B.
Was Bill's podcast this bad 10 years ago?
I remember listening back in the ONA days.
I don't think it was ever great,
but it was not this bad.
It certainly was not as bad as now because,
again, I think that he's making this show for his wife.
Speaking of which, I have a birthday coming up.
So I got to figure out what I'm going to do for my birthday.
It's so sad.
What do you do for your 58th birthday?
Yeah, Nia.
What are we doing for my 58th birthday?
Soul food.
Soul food and coffee.
At a coffee shop.
Perfect.
I have one more clip on here.
Again, it gets into more Trump talk.
You know, Bill is 58.
He's feeling old. He's getting old.
What should I do?
It's got to be something where I get my AARP discount.
I got that fucking card when I was 50 years old and I've never used it.
I don't know how to use it.
I don't know where to use it.
I know you can use it at the movies.
And I just, do you stick it in the machine?
I don't know.
They're probably going to do away with that.
Like they're going to with Social Security as they make it great again.
Good stuff.
It's so dark.
I know he's obviously has Trump to arrangement syndrome because everything the, he's predicting things that are going to go wrong that haven't gone wrong yet.
and blaming Trump voters for it.
And, you know, the CEOs and Trump are ruining the economy,
even though he has all sold out shows in a theater in Atlanta all weekend.
So this economy sucks.
Does it?
Because I'm watching professional sports.
I went to a Sabres game.
Very expensive tickets to go to that.
We're going to Seinfeld in a couple of hours.
That's sold out at the auditorium theater here.
It's like, I see people going out to all these things.
I'm confused.
But I don't think Bill's feeling the crunch.
I guess that's my point.
FFs for family's canceled, but other than that, I think he's doing all right.
That's fine.
I don't know.
No one's worried about that.
No one's complaining about it.
So that's the current state of Bill Burr and what he's up to.
I mean, he's doing a podcast that can only be mocked.
The way he laughed at the end there made me feel like I was the next thing I was in here was a gunshot.
Oh, my fingers crossed.
I'm kidding.
I'm kidding YouTube's terms of service and a boxing ring.
But it is impossible to not think of OBW.
you hear Bill.
Yeah.
That's why the Opie or Burr game
that Simon creates
is so brilliant.
And impossible to win.
Right.
I sink at it.
They're both so woefully unfunny.
And these observations they make
have been made a million times
and sing-songiness.
Speaking of Opie.
You guys familiar with my friend Emily?
A little bit.
Okay.
So Emily's posted on Heck verse anonymous.
and Emily's got some more information about, you know, Emily talks to Greg Opie Hughes regularly,
like every day on the internet.
Emily knows that Greg is lurking on Reddit and the ONA forum as a SAC account that's been exposed,
but he continues to post and communicate directly with Emily over this.
And this post says, exposing Carol's lies about Opie.
And she writes,
Carl freaked out when I made a post about Opie being banned from Gehub.
Remember that when I freaked out?
Which that's actually true.
He really is.
Opie has a live stream from Gevhart since February.
He used to live stream once a week there.
Also, it's odd how Carl admitted to Opie being on a Reddit and Twitter, and now he denies
it.
I show those clips of the video.
He also is trying to make me seem like I'm the only one talking to Opie.
Meanwhile, the entire ONA forum talks to Opie and knows it's him.
But according to Carl, the expert, who's been stalking and obsessing over Opie for nine years,
I'm wrong.
Roll my eyes emoji.
So this is fascinating.
It's a pretty strong case, to be honest.
It's fascinating.
Quite the indictment on you.
Because if you go down and you look at the screenshots that Emily posts here,
you'll see the communications she's having with Greg Opie Hughes.
And she's even tagging me in it.
And so here's an example right here where Emily writes,
Opie, you are banned from Gevards.
I know I'm worried about this.
I'm also worried about everything you too.
Hmm, whatever that means.
And then hashtag Emily investigative productions.
And Opie, Long Island Clan, writes back, they were watering down the road sodas.
The Ope Star left that dive out of principle.
So she thinks that's Opie.
Because Opie would write road sodas in 2026 on Reddit.
Makes sense, right?
Kind of does.
And then, oh, you know, yeah.
You're fuel at this, aren't you?
Is that your job out here?
That's good.
I like that.
And then she's got another one on here that she posts where she responds to him saying they
walked down the road sodas.
She goes, I called it.
I knew you left that place.
But according to the expert, Carl, you are still there.
That is funny.
They banned you, especially with how much you were promoting that place.
And so Greg responds to that.
And Greg says, the Ope Star was never banned.
He left because they were watering down the drink.
and hygiene was bad with Indian staff
spinning and shitting out over the place.
Emily thinks this is really Opie
who's using an avatar of the picture of Opie
and pretending not to be Opie talking about Indians
spinning and shitting.
I didn't realize Opie was so racist.
You still believe this after this super obvious troll?
And she raised back.
Carl's an idiot and he's wrong about everything.
Okay, well.
Broken clock.
Emily World Order.
Yes, that's true.
Emily World Order.
Very funny stuff.
This role doesn't respect her that much.
I know.
They're not even trying to pretend they're opi anymore.
These Indians are spinning and shitting off.
Eh?
More hey, Carl.
Lemmy or Emily?
Emily, I think, you know, she's not on a show.
If she was co-hosting with Husey, she'd win in a landslide.
She brings you up a lot.
whenever she gets a chance.
But sometimes she's on B-Dabler.
So that's always fun.
The opster starts, it shows off,
very similar to how Bill Burr does.
Do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do, do,
hi, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high, high.
Let me tell you a story.
The devil he has a plan, a bag of bow.
in his pocket.
Get everything you want.
A young love us.
The whole thing is over.
I think I missed the lyric in there,
but what the hell?
Good morning, everybody.
Welcome to the Opie Radio podcast.
It's F.U. Friday, bitches.
So let us know in the chat what bothered you this week.
All right.
The lyrics of like a Johnny Cash song.
Nope.
No.
No.
Why would you say that?
It's obviously a song.
Opie even said he missed a word.
He's like, ah, that sounds like it could be a Jetty Cash song.
I see why he likes Tony P better, though, after this.
Now, Tony P is a cheerleader.
Yeah, he's just sitting there snapping along, sway into the music.
Tony P.
loves everything Opie does.
He cackles at Opie, as we're going to see in some of these clips.
But Opie's not done singing yet.
And he explains to Ron that, no, that's Talking Heads, David Byrne.
And Opie's going to sing more David Byrne for us.
David Byrne with the ha ha ha ha ha.
Oh, no, it goes,
I have a video wearing you like this.
Oh, I love everything about David Byrne.
Ron, nothing to the cover.
He was like, Ron, I, calm down over there, buddy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, David Byrne.
Big suit guy.
Yeah, we get it.
Is Ron doing the robots?
Yeah, I know.
Remember when David's like, I am a robot?
That old gag.
I'm about to pull a Gallagher.
This is the worst.
Nope, you got to stay here.
That's why you're shackled.
All right, so Opie is in a grumpy mood, it turns out.
It looks like he's having a good time.
Starts off singing.
You'd think that it was like, sweet.
I'm here with my friends.
It's up you Friday.
This is great.
But no, it turns out he's actually quite ornery for a very specific reason.
But today I'm going to be a little ornery, and I'm going to tell you why, because I
microwaved coffee and I had to put almond milk in it, almond.
I'm not going to be happy in about two minutes.
Bro, why don't you just have it black?
I don't know what that is.
Black coffee in bed, squeezed on your home of rock and roll.
Why would I have black coffee?
I think black coffee as well, bro.
You need black coffee.
By the way, what type of milk did you put in your coffee?
Almond.
I don't know what the fuck that is.
Almond.
almond milk
you got to go black opi
you'll never go back
Ron
when you pronounce the word wrong
it's comedy
how have you not learned this yet
how long you've been doing a show with opi
almond that's not a type of milk
yeah he should be well versed in
open ease even totally he's like
it's almonds just
play it long with his laugh
idiots yeah let's get past this
remember it's funny because he pronounces it wrong
but Vinny fell for it.
I was waiting for him to finish the joke.
Oh yeah, no, it's coming.
Opie can't help himself.
Good.
He's got to go for it.
But he gets it wrong.
No, this is not how this joke ever goes.
Perfect.
I said it many times over the years.
It's kind of a hack bit,
so I want to acknowledge it ahead of time,
but it is the truth.
I take my coffee like I take my women.
I don't mind a little color.
I don't mean, I don't mind a little color,
but it's got to be, you know,
it's got to be that type of color.
Not black as night.
Are you guys crazy?
Hell yeah, man.
What the fuck was that?
It's a hack bit, but I don't like black women.
Why?
Opie likes his women like he likes his coffee.
To go.
There you go.
So I guess he doesn't like Kevin Brennan's Ugabuga-Bugel wife,
apparently according to Opie.
Jesus Christ.
What the fuck was that?
I know it's a hack bit, but fuck black chicks, am I right?
The whiter the better.
Yes.
That's not.
I like my coffee.
Like, straight milk.
Zero coffee.
Jeez, okay.
But Anthony's the racist one.
Gotcha.
Well, Ron doesn't miss a beat here.
He's got to get in his joke about black coffee.
You know who takes his coffee black?
Bill Burr.
Just like his winter.
I loved Tony's reaction.
Watch this again.
Tony gives the perfect reaction to this joke.
Coffee black?
Bill Burr.
Just like his wier.
Tony just goes,
Oof.
I'm leaning out of frames.
Just rolls his eyes and tries to get the fuck out of there.
Yeah,
because he's married to a black woman.
Yeah, good stuff.
I mean, this couldn't be more hack.
At least Opie said this is going to be hack.
Yeah.
Whereas Rod's like, you know who else likes their coffee black?
A guy who's married to a black woman.
I know about you guys.
I'm having fun with it.
It's funny stuff.
It's really good.
And Opie has an FU
ready to go. He's got a couple of us ready to go, which is good.
Sometimes he doesn't prep.
It bothers me. But no, today, he is
ready to go with his FU for FU Friday.
Bro, what are you talking about? You think I got
if you. Can I start? Can I start? Can I start?
Can I start? Because I didn't even have it F you today. I'm not even
going to lie to you. And then I turned on the local
news and the weather
girl with the fucking
mole on her biceps. So I
took to another channel. I couldn't take
the mole on the bicep. Ah, what do you
doing? What channel is that?
Oh, Clack Gillies.
All right, a couple things going on here.
First off, the idea that Opie would complain about a mole on a woman's arm
when he puts fucking Ron's face on his stream every morning,
and we have to stare at this ghoul.
It's insane right there.
Ron's face is pressed against the screen for 30% of the fucking episode.
She's like, oh, there's a black mark of that woman's arm over there.
To show his herpes sore, what the fuck is she doing?
And then he was showing his herpes off as Opie's complaining about this.
I got something for this.
Now, at the end of that, you heard a little spurg out, that little Clark Spurg out.
The bit they were doing right before this, before the FU, was, let's name famous Clarks.
Okay.
And Opie's like, oh, can we name famous clerks?
And then they move on, thank God.
And they started doing FU Friday.
But the chat gets involved and starts naming famous clerks.
So that gets up here right back into Famous Clark Talk.
Clock cable.
Clock cable.
Did I steal that one from you, Tony?
The Clark Gable?
You didn't steal that one from you, Brian.
Wait a minute.
Scott Watson's got one.
Clark Griswold.
Fuck Griswold, man.
Dude, this is all I want to do today.
This is why I'm not famous anymore because I get...
Does this one work?
Kelly Clarkson.
Who?
Kelly Clarkson.
Kelly Clarkson.
All right.
Every now and again, Opie has a moment of clarity.
So I'm not famous anymore.
I want to do is try to name famous clerks with you guys.
With you guys.
Isn't this fun?
Isn't there like a friendly rivalry between Ron and Tony?
Yes, and Opie has sent this up.
Okay.
Because he plays favorites to Tony.
And so Tony's like an ass kisser.
He's the ball washer guy.
Whereas Ron's the guy who's like, I got to set this show straight.
Yeah.
It actually brings some content and make it so that this isn't embarrassing for all of us.
And Opie really plays into the, yeah, Ron stinks.
I like Tony P.
Did you see that, Vinnie?
Ron's been trying to get Opie to come to his open mic gigs forever.
Open mic, I guess is rude.
There's a line of open mic.
How dare you?
They do set a line up ahead of time of open micers.
So it's not like put your name in the hat kind of thing, but whatever.
So Opie finally goes to this place that Ron's the waiter at,
and he watches Tony P. do comedy and praises Tony P. the next day.
You are the funniest comic.
You're so great.
All Ron's wanted is that acknowledgement.
Did Ron do to this guy?
I think Opie's embarrassed by him.
Then why have him on?
Why are you just tormenting him?
I've got nowhere else to go.
That's really what the answer is.
Like, Opie's out of options.
Didn't I send you like a clip because he's put,
Ron is putting on a stand-up show.
You did text me this the other day.
I don't know where it showed up,
but Ron is actually putting on his own show.
And Opie, you better go to that.
Be a friend.
Do you light up?
I should have.
pulled that photo.
There are women older than Joan Rivers on this show.
Multiple.
What are you guys doing?
It's over.
Not to be Chan,
Zubach,
but you're still trying to be a comedian?
Why?
Get a movie.
Go to bed.
It doesn't look like a great lineup.
It's not a great lineup.
One of the guys is so old,
his head shots in black and white,
for real.
It's not great.
So,
Tony P.
knows what the people are.
want, which I appreciate. He must be listening to a lot of podcasts.
People go, hey, Ope, why aren't you famous anymore? Because I get stuck on stupid shit.
I want to just do this for 20 minutes.
Yeah, but this is what people want to listen to, man.
Of course it is. Nope. And Opie immediately, he's like, I know naming famous
Clarks is not good content. So he goes, no, this is great. And he goes, yeah, I know.
Of course it is. It's not, Opie. It's nobody wants to hear you guys trying to figure out
what famous Clarks are and go to the chat and get excited.
about it as what happens here is hoping it's very excited oh hold on we got another one i'm sorry
scott watson up the river lewis and clack oh come on yeah there you go oh my god they're coming in like
crazy now john corse down there in philly dick clock keep going keep going where are they getting into the
fireworks factory holy shit is this really what the show is going to be opi spurging out over people who are
in the chat, famous Clarks?
He's trying to come across as self-deprecating
that he doesn't enjoy this, but he's clearly enjoying it.
Yes.
Do his kids play games like this with him?
Where do you even, as an adult man, come up with?
Let's name Clarks.
Because he's so fucking lazy,
he doesn't put any work into a show.
So he's like, oh, this will kill 20 minutes.
He thinks as long as people are talking, he's working.
Okay.
It's not working.
Well, none of it's working.
It's just such a childish bit
That I'm like if you were an adult
You'd be like talking about the news
You would be talking about something
Like you would do
You would have an actual conversation
Vinny not to cut you off
It's fucking gibberish
Not to cut you off
But this is the segment of the show
Where I spy with my little eye
Something red
Kool-aid
All right
So let's get to the FU
That's Opie wanted to get to
The real FU
Not the mole on the arm
A real FU
A sinkhole opened up on the LIE.
There are people right now in their cars just cursing God.
They're cursing God.
How happy Tony is.
There's a sinkhole in the LIE.
The traffic's all backed up.
He's laughing like his spell works.
I did that, Opie.
I hate that guy.
It's insane that he's that excited.
Hey, I want to tell people that my.
chat. Do not start putting Jack names in here. I will not pull them up on screen. You're not going
to fool me with that shit. So Tony P is very excited. Jack Levin. God damn it. It's Clark is the
thing. So Tony P's very excited about this single. He loves it. He loves that this happened to someone
other than him. And then Opie has what I think is maybe the worst take he's ever had. He doesn't
understand how life works. It's why no one listens to him because he's just dumb. It's why he usually
doesn't have takes on things because he knows
he doesn't understand things.
You got the FIFA.
FIFA's coming to town. The World Cup's coming to town.
They are putting in a
pristine
soccer field at
MetLife Stadium with brand new
grass right now. How much is
that costing? Can't they use
that money to fill in our damn potholes?
First off, New Jersey's
a different state.
I mean, he's talking about the LIE.
Look at his LIE. I need some
fix it over here. How come New Jersey's
putting in grass and
their stadium? Well, because
I don't know if you know this, but the World Cup's going to
bring in billions of dollars.
I'm guessing it's probably worth the investment
on that front. It has nothing to do with
public transportation.
Absolutely nothing to do with that at all.
Yeah, I don't think Opie's a real estate guy.
I don't think he understands how I think he's a real guy.
I have a feeling that putting
in that grass at MetLife Stadium
is going to be worth it.
I think they're going to, after the fact, be like, yeah, that was a smart move on our part.
Sold out a lot of soccer games and a lot of people come into New Jersey for that.
So that's cool.
How much are those tickets going to cost?
Germany's playing there at the end of June.
Here we go.
It's Ecuador.
I know.
I want to go to that game.
I probably should have bought tickets already, huh?
Probably, yeah.
I'm really bad at buying tickets and time.
How can you write it off?
For things.
Oh, should I start a soccer podcast for like one episode?
What if it takes off?
Right.
Fuck.
I got to do this goddamn soccer podcast now.
It sucks.
All right.
Well, don't worry, guys.
There's more Clarks to be had.
One of my...
No, no, no, no.
I'll go to you in a second because I just don't want to lose this.
Because John Court's down there in Philly.
We're missing a big one.
A big one.
Bobby Clark!
From the Flyers.
Bobby clock from the fly is.
Tony P.
Who loses mind over everything.
It's like, yeah, sure, man.
If you say so.
Like, Opie will be to interrupt Rod to say that.
Rod's just like, fuck you.
Say the line, Tony.
That is a sour look on Ron's face right there, and I don't blame him.
Well, because, yeah, because it's like, who cares?
Yeah, there's lots of guys who played sports and shit.
There's Will Clark.
I don't want to get into it.
That's not the point.
The point is, like, why is Opie so obsessed with this Clark thing?
He's derailing his show over and over.
again. Get back to
how expensive grass is.
Get back to that kind of talk.
Well, this wasn't about Bobby Clark. This was about
interrupting Ron. Yes, correct.
And Opie knew who he was.
So he wanted to show off.
There's a lot of it. I know he's
a flyer, so I wanted to
prove to you. I knew that.
Vin, what we're going to see right here.
It's something I think we should maybe
use on the creep off. Okay.
Opie comes up with a really good
idea. By the
way, we got $20.
It is, it is Super Chat Friday.
You give me money and I give it to these guys.
So just give me money.
You know, we do a little thing on the creep off, Fannie.
Super Chat Monday.
We do.
What if all that money went to me?
Why would that happen?
I don't know.
I hope he gave up the idea that you give it to the other guys.
I think that's a really good idea.
All right.
Super Chat,
I have it, Vinny.
All right.
I mean, I didn't know you were hurting that bad.
I know they stole your water tank system and everything.
They did.
My RO system was stolen.
I thought that was a good idea.
I could be wrong.
Well, let's read what this super chat says.
The Matt, the,
Daniels.
F. you fraud at Opie's Sabres curse.
Opie's a fake Sabres fan,
not like producer Chris.
A real Sabres fan.
Ronnie.
get the hell out of there
Ronnie
can someone get this guy hooked on phonics
I love that Tony P loved that one
at the hell out of there Ronnie
I'm trying to think there might be a gas like
Tony P's gas like toady
Carbon monoxide
He's just passed out three minutes from now
So I love this obviously
They're calling out Opie for being a fake Sabres fan
Producer Chris gets a nod
and they tell Ronnie he's too good for the show.
All great things worth the $20 from, by the way,
a guy named Matthew O'Donels.
Opie had really struggled with that.
We'll find out more about that.
But Opie is not happy with this super chat.
He scolds him.
By the way, that name is Matthew O'Donels.
Oh, yeah.
All right.
That was, Christ, Ope.
What the fuck?
Matthew, dude, I was like.
And we're saying he's,
needs hooked on phonics, maybe the host
of the show needs it too.
You had a hard time with that one.
How did I not see that's Matthew?
Oh, Daniels.
Matthew, Daniels.
Matthew, Daniels.
All I know is, like an Irishman.
F-U Friday, Opie, Sabers,
curse. Opie is fake
Sabers fan. Not like...
Dude, you don't know how to say O'Donels or going up to Boston.
All right, listen.
Get the hell out, Ronnie.
All right, listen.
There's so much going on in this
horrendous super chat guy wasted $20.20.
I love that.
Opie's pissed about it.
This guy wasted $20.
What are you talking about?
I got I read twice.
Obviously, they left it up for a long time.
They seem to be having some fun with it.
Opie doesn't like it because he knows.
This is a reference to who are these podcasts.
Do you think he's going to admit that?
No.
Never heard of it.
Yep, I think you might be right about that.
Who's producer, Chris?
I don't know.
That's the other thing.
These people, these people have something else going in their mind that they assume everyone else knows.
I don't know who producer Chris is.
Why would I know who producer Chris is?
Well, me thinks the lady does protest too much.
Yeah.
I love that Opie talks about the basement show.
Yeah, the low-level basement show.
The low-level basement show where producer Chris is on every episode with his name on it, producer Chris.
How would I know about that?
he knows
Emily this is one
I think he knows
will you agree with me on this one
help me out Emily
so I thought that was very funny
thank you Matthew O'Donels
for putting in that super check
because God you give him Opie 20 bucks
he's gonna read whatever the fuck you put on there
Opie is right it is a waste of money
No I'm kidding to him
I think it was money well spent
All right
But yeah you should just go on there
And just write fuck you San Diego
Like Opie will read whatever you put on there
if you give them $20.
And the floodgates open because
Opie said, Super Chat Friday, the money goes to Ron and Tony P.
And people like giving money to Ron.
I don't know about Tony P, but whatever.
People are excited about it.
Barrister now.
Oh, my God.
Are we making money today?
Finally.
Barrister, just when I thought this podcast couldn't get any worse,
Ron is now chewing on camera.
Bile just came up into my throat.
Here's $20.
Yeah, so Ron's eating a bagel during the show.
Ron couldn't be more distracting and disgusting.
I don't know why he thinks that's his role on this show.
I guess that's just because that's who he is, I assume.
Okay.
If Opie is aware of us, then we know that he is.
Yes.
He has heard us bitch about Ron so many times of being.
close to the camera. I think he's encouraging him to do
that and be obnoxious. Right, so that
we focus on Ron more than
Opie. I don't
think he thought it through. I thought through that
much. He's like, no, this pisses them off.
Yeah, that's a good point.
So, Ron calls out
Opie here and only the way that Ron can.
I would just plow over
the car, the guy.
Maybe, maybe.
You would plow the guy? Gay.
Everything's gay with you,
Rod.
What happened on their dates?
What do we not know about with the diner?
And Jim Jeffrey's dressing room, really gay with you.
And don't worry, I did pull this ISO, so the next time we play, is it gay?
Oh, okay.
Gay.
I got it.
Perfect.
All right.
So they were talking about whether you drive over the car that went into the sinkhole or not on the LIE.I.
And Opie wants to plow right into that guy.
And I think that Opie wants to plow right into that guy.
I like that Opie's offended by that.
He gets offended by a lot of things on this show.
Meanwhile, aren't they the ones at Gepard's?
They're like, g-e-he?
That's his catchphrase when he's at Gep-Hards.
Him and Matt, you know, you know what I'm talking about.
His buddy.
Maddie-yo!
They love yelling, gay!
But then, Ron says, he's like,
all right, all right.
That's enough.
And then this guy comes out, who super chats him,
who's Gary Gay Boobes, is his name?
And Opie goes,
Gary Blank Boobes.
He doesn't want to say the word,
game just so stupid so eventually tony p just reads the name and opi is like i'm right i was trying
to avoid that but whatever and things get wild all right let's go back to gary uh gay boobs i guess
we acknowledge that's his name i you know i don't pick i don't pick the names of these people if he
wants to be known as that god bless him gary happy boobs he writes bulldozing sinkholes sugar daddy excuse me
and cream cheese.
A lot of innuendo this morning.
Quite titillating, gentlemen.
He's got happy boobs.
He's got the gay happy boobies.
All right.
With the good stuff.
Tony, you know what?
You know what he's asking for?
Oh, there it is.
Gary gay boobs.
Look at those boobs.
Oh, all right.
All right.
Oh, gay on gay.
Oh, look at this.
I've been doing push-ups, man.
Okay.
Tony P. shows off his pierced nipples.
I wasn't ready for that.
What the fuck just happened?
What the fuck just happened?
Gary Gay Boobes is all excited about the sexual innuendo.
And Tony P. goes, well, then, I'm going to have to show you guys my chest.
My gay boobs.
Yes.
And then he goes, I've been doing push-ups.
And these guys start arguing about who could do more push-ups.
OPE says I can do 50 right now
Ron Bourbon says he could do 30
And Tony be like
There's no fucking way you can do 30 pushups
I'd be shocked if Ron could do three
I don't think you could go down on the floor
They get back up again
That would be I think he'd be done for the day
If he went on the floor
Someone bringing my ice cream
I'll just eat it down here
So that was
Tony P
teaching us things about him
that I did not know.
And so,
Opie,
he has a great sinkhole story
because we're going to get back
to the FU Friday sinkhole thing.
Finally.
Now,
the mistake Opie makes
is he asks Ron
if Ron knows
anything about this story.
Jeffrey Bush was asleep
in his bed at night.
Do you remember this one?
Oh,
like,
if I remember correctly,
they never found him.
Well,
let's see,
Ron.
Let's see.
Thanks for giving the fucking
punch line away.
You know,
I know everything.
I know everything.
Go listen to fucking boring Theo Vaughn now because you don't,
you don't need to wait to the end of the story.
That factories.
Oh, my God.
Go listen to one of the boring podcasts out there.
You don't need the rest of this.
Unbelievable.
Opie's all upset that Ron gave away the ending of the story.
So he calls out Theo Vaughn.
Well, this show sucks now.
So go watch Theo Vaugh,
one of those boring shows.
I'm sorry, is Theo Vaughn not naming
famous clerks he can think of off the top of his
head or read from the chat?
That's a boring show. And in Opie's
mind, he wants to be both self-deprecating
and the king. Yeah. This is why
nobody watches my show anymore and not famous.
And it's like, no, this is great. He's like, I know.
I wonder if Theo Vaughn has pierced nipples.
He might.
I wouldn't know, though.
I don't think he's showing them off the way
the Tony P is. He's
very proud of himself.
It's a weird look for an old man, isn't it?
Yes.
Didn't Andrew Cuomo have pierced nipples?
I think he did.
Wasn't that a thing?
I don't think he showed him to the camera like that.
No, no, but people saw him through his shirt or something that one time.
Yeah, he had like the barbells.
He was doing those co-bells.
Yes.
And he showed up in a white polo shirt that was tucked in.
That was just a little too thin.
Yeah, and he was like creeping on chicks.
Like, hey, you want to help me with my iPhone?
Like, no.
Definitely not.
He's like, fine, I'll just run for mayor.
Have that workout?
Lost to a communist.
Not the point.
None of this is the point.
The point is Opie's going to tell this story anyway,
even though Ron gave it away.
And what's great about Opie is that he does it with all the bluster he was planning on doing it the first place.
They couldn't get rescue crews in.
They couldn't recover the body.
And they had it demolished the house and filled a hole with gravel.
Jeff Bush was never found.
Maybe shit.
Yeah, Ron already said that.
Yeah.
And then he was like, and the big reveal?
He was never found.
Whoa.
Idiot.
Strike that reverse it, guys.
Yeah, right.
They might want to do some editing on this one.
Yikes.
So, let's find out why would a guy get swallowed up by the earth while he's just laying in his bed?
Like, what happened that would cause something like that to happen?
Yeah.
What the fuck did this guy do?
Yeah.
There's no coincidence.
Seriously, there are a lot of swallowed him up.
You had to do something.
Why?
Why? I don't know.
Why him?
There's no coincidences.
There's no accidents.
He probably refused to do an Opian-Anthony reunion.
He probably refused over and over again.
He was an Anthony.
He was Team Anthony.
Oh, wow.
Rod saw his opportunity and got right on it.
Opie's like, oh, you know, people are mad at me
because I won't do an open-anthony reunion.
Maybe he refused to do Opie Anthony reunion.
And Roder me was like, oh, we're talking about that?
Hey, Anthony. Everyone loves Anthony more than you.
I go back to that thing again.
Well, that, Ron.
Very funny.
Don't worry, Ron.
Opie will realize he loves you one day.
No.
No, he will not.
Ron will never get invited out to the beach house.
And trust me, there will never be another date at the diner ever again.
Opie learned his lesson.
Something went down that we don't know about.
He'll see him and Tony P.
on a tan of bicycle coming into the,
place where Ron works.
God damn it.
Hey, can I cut in?
It's a table for two, Ron.
All right, so the end of the show,
Super Chat Friday was a huge success.
Well, the chat was very lively, people loving
today's show, so...
Dude, how much money we make?
I think we made about $750.
Yeah, we made over $100. I'm telling you.
I don't know. Of course, the Jewish guy knows
exactly how much are we...
Gay boobies.
Dude, day.
Bobby kept throwing money at us.
Drew's back. There is
six degrees of separation between Justin
Timberlake and Ron's lip, herp.
God, Tony.
I really should get Tony P.
on this show. Just the guy who cackles
and everything that's sad. That's fun.
Just pull up any chat.
You know, maybe something like, uh, B.R. Greg
saying soccer podcast, worse than music
episode. And then Tony Pee, like,
And the guy could be like, oh, I'm going to throw this guy two bucks more often.
You need Tony P.
and that guy that Joe Madderice has.
Oh, my God.
He's the worst.
Joe Madderice, by the way, has put out some more episodes.
And he's doing a new podcast already.
Yeah.
So he's starting up another podcast where he's planning on moving back to South Philly.
But he's waiting for his youngest to graduate high school.
So it's a couple of years out.
But he's going to do a show.
all about where should he move to
in South Philly.
It's always about what he should do.
Everything's about, yeah, and geography.
Yeah.
Everything has to be like,
should I be on the corner of Fifth and Elm?
Or does it smell too much like pizza right there?
Should we go over by the quake and shake?
Anyway,
I thought he was abandoning it
because he put up a video saying,
I need your guys help,
leave me voicemails,
and let me know what I should do.
You know,
and I'll play the voicemails and I'll react it on the show.
And Blind Mike played that on,
Blyne Mike project.
And then after Blyde Mike played it,
Joe Maddery's took it down.
Took the video down.
So Mike's like,
I guess he's not going to do the podcast.
We already scared it away from this one.
There's a lot of Cape Coral suggestions, I imagine.
Probably, yes.
The Northwest Quadrant.
It's amazing.
Well, then I, because I'm on the mailing list,
I got an email from Joe Matarries this week saying,
hey, I still need you guys suggestions with the phone number
and some things he wanted us to tell them.
So I forwarded that right to Mike.
I'm like, it's not over yet.
He's still talking about doing this.
Fingers crossed, we get a new Joe Madderese podcast,
where we have to tell him how to live his life and how to do things.
I'll tell you how to do things.
Watch the creep off on Mondays at 1 p.m. Eastern on the creep off YouTube channel.
Or who are these podcasts?
We're on, we simulcast in the show.
We don't care.
We just want you to come have fun with us every Monday at one.
This Monday, creepiest nurse, too.
Wow, we're doing nurse again?
Yeah.
Nurses are creeps.
I know. We haven't done it in a few years, so we're revisiting.
Excellent. It doesn't have to be a male nurse.
Nope. But it will be, but it will be a male nurse.
It will be.
100% yes.
All right. I just want to get the rules straight on this one.
We just did a bonus show yesterday, Vinny.
We did.
And you did a fantastic job.
So the movie Michael is smashed box office success, smash it.
I call it a whitewash.
And see what you did there.
And the movie Michael's about Michael Jackson up until 1989?
Yeah, it makes sense.
right around the bad tour.
So we decided to cut that sucker off.
So we decided to look at what Michael Dex has done since then.
89 to 2009.
Is that when he died?
I believe so.
So he's up to some shenanigans.
Yeah, we watched a whole lot of stuff and there's plenty more.
But check out Michael 2 on the Creepoff channel.
If you subscribe to the YouTube creepoff channel or you're on our Patreon,
patreon.com slash the creepoff.
Vote for Carl.
You can see all the bonus episodes we do.
We do one every Friday.
That's right.
At noon.
So worth checking out.
May I interject one more plug at this?
Please do.
The Rochester Comedy Festival, very first one's happening coming up in July,
and I'm putting it on a show.
I wasn't sure I was going to, but it's called Vinny's Dirty Joke Book.
Oh.
If you know me, you know I like dirty jokes quite a bit.
And I've been compiling a lot of them over the years.
And I booked some very, very funny, dirty comics to just have a night of blue humor for whoever wants to come.
Lucy Typebox?
How dirty are we talking?
Oh, filthy.
Yeah.
She might blush.
Lucy might blush at some of days.
So tickets are on sale at Carlsoncom.
It's going to be an artist and works in the Casablanca room, a room way too classy for what we're doing.
I believe Zen from the Shuling Network's going to be joining us.
So it should be a lot of fun.
Excellent.
Thank you.
BR.
Greg, five bucks.
Hey, I didn't care for the tone of that laughs, sir.
What the fuck else is super chatting?
Who the fuck else is super chatting?
This is behind the paywall.
sir. We don't expect super chats on this, but we do appreciate your support.
And I want to figure out what's going on on the internet with our internet news segment produced by producer Chris, starring Jenny Jingles.
Internet News with Jenny Jingles.
From Patreon, Cream Jesus Christ is confused.
Muppets reviewing a podcast about Muppets watching the Muppets?
Chris Atrell notes, I love how much Muppet talking rages, EDR.
Schlong Dangerson.
Ooh, Chrissy went at it with a girl brain.
Not a good movie.
The negative creep suggests.
Creep off consequence idea.
Ask for a peanut butter whiskey in a Scottish pub.
Backdoor Benji reports,
I don't have Twitter, but it appears as if Angel Reese does not follow Opie on Instagram.
From Facebook, Brett Purdy gripes,
We're going to skip the John segment for games and voicemails.
What?
Christina Marie reacts.
You complain a lot.
I was really trying to ignore this, but Grant made me clean today,
and that pisses me off, so you get to share some of my anger.
Doug Greenberg chimes in.
All you do is fucking complain.
Stop listening.
From Reddit,
Badass Tight Pants points out,
Carl had the instinct to befriend Steele-Tow,
Kiki, and Mersh.
I do respect that he's able to stay successful,
despite his repeated attempts at self-sabotage.
Cote Bologna ads,
and Chad, and Melton.
Main event Gay Bruce-O.
Don't forget Phil Elmore.
Joe Fat Mama takes aim at Chrissy.
She got uppercase gums and lowercase teeth.
MOX riffs.
In the land of Rochester,
prominent teeth are considered a
of the ability to care for one's young by being able to scare off competition.
Vixit 403 reports.
Jay Leno was doing stand-up in L.A. almost every weekend while John still lived there.
For some reason, he didn't invite John to open for him.
J.K.O. makes some good points.
Howard used S.J. like a genius.
All these Leno clips prove that.
Add in his film and TV roles, plus how bad his singing and guitar playing was.
And John was only funny on Stern.
Howard knew how to get the most out of people.
Even whack-packers would suck on other radio shows.
Stern's a shell of what he once,
was, but he was the best at making losers funny and interesting.
Da fool who follows, taxon.
Stern treated John like the incompetent idiot he is, and milked him for laughs.
For some reason, Leno tried to treat him like talent, and we can see how hard that failed.
John is, and always will be, a whack packer.
And from YouTube, Ghost Corp 1,000 opines.
Obie's repressed jealousy physically manifests as mouth purpleness.
Kimadu offers, I already knew Opie had a very low IQ and doesn't understand comedy,
but when he started reading those limericks without a hint of irony,
I was shocked.
And Adam Bush 28 plays us out with an actual limerick.
There once was a waiter from Boston with a no-so-big you could get lost in.
He was being used by Greg O.B. Hughes, and he'll never know how much it cost him.
I didn't see that.
Adam Bush fella has a talent.
We should maybe get him on the show sometime.
I love a limerick.
Let's get into, will that be part of your dirty,
joke show.
Delimerate portion, yes.
Of course.
All right.
Gary and San Diego brings us the
voicemail segment.
It's a bunch of crap.
Swing in a mid.
Rock and roll.
Starting John
needs to come back and have
Jeremy at the second mic.
The podcast name,
Strike Force.
That's a good idea.
Strike Force.
It's funny.
Hey, Carl.
It's eye on force.
I heard you mention you were seeing
Nechro Goblo.
Oh, my God.
Necro Goblo
that name's a fucking mouthful.
And sorry if you addressed this on a previous episode, but
how do you feel about that guy, kind of
kind of taken over that whole band?
First, he was the singer, or not,
he was the merch guy, and then he was
the manager, then he was the mascot.
Then they kind of ousted the singer,
and he became the singer. Now he's a
podcast host, and
by the way, you should have him on the creep on the creep off. God damn, I'm a
fucking marble mouse. Just call me back.
I think he tries that again.
Okay, I got to do that again.
This is Zion 4th.
No, we got it.
That's fine.
I loved their previous singer.
He was very good.
But I was really impressed with John Goblicon's vocals.
Chris and I were both questioning whether it's the same guy who does the podcast or not.
He sounds a little different live.
A little different.
And his vocals are great.
I didn't care for the lame cover they did.
But the Ozzy cover.
But the vocals were really good.
Hey, Carl.
Maybe your backup speech therapist might also call you about this.
Who couldn't, I couldn't care less.
So if you say I could care less, that means you do care, don't me?
That's not speech therapy.
At least a little bit.
And then also, Chrissy Mayer, like, I feel like she's at a critical point of no return
where if she doesn't, you know, she's spinning this story.
She's the victim.
She's, you know, always in the right.
I feel like she might become a new loke.
She's not careful.
All right.
Fuck you.
Love the show.
Shout out to Cobra Commander.
Oh, Cobra Commander.
Holy shit.
It's been a minute since we've heard from him.
What is going on here?
So Chrissy did a stream where she's going to play all the superchats you didn't get to on the previous stream.
And like in the title was like, no drama.
And then I was checking in on Friday Night Tights, FNT, that had Chrissy on regularly.
and she hasn't been on.
And so people in the chat are like, what's going on with the Chrissy thing?
And they're like, we're not going to talk about it.
No drama.
You guys are all missing out on a very important thing that could be happening right here.
But, okay.
If everyone wants to be lame and boring, go for it.
Drama.
It's like, well, it's like Aaron Imhol.
When people were ragging on him all the time, he's like, I don't do a drama show.
I'm not going to get into it.
And then as soon as people are making fun of the quartering or he thinks he's getting over on me,
it's all he talks about.
Right.
It's all he talks about Patrick Melton.
Me all the time.
It's like, oh, so what it's convenient for you?
Are you saying it's the sign of someone who's being hypocritical?
Yes.
And also evidence that they're losing.
Yes.
Got it.
Another thing, Carl, speech there.
I got your back on this one.
Cookies fresh out of the oven.
I know this is a bit past, it was a while ago, but fresh out of the oven.
Don't let them, don't put them in the fucking fridge.
I underbake mine as well.
Get them extra sauce.
But yeah, let them rest maybe a couple minutes, but fresh out the oven.
You're right.
What do you think about that?
I like my wings well done, but a chocolate chip cookie, maybe undercutting.
Maybe a little doughy.
I'm with you.
Chris?
Let's go get some wings.
All right.
You don't have to agree with me.
You can disagree with me.
I like the soft, chewy cookies.
Are you fucking kidding?
Those are delicious.
Thank you.
Hey, Carl.
Love the show.
Can you do a bonus episode on Crazy Cabbie versus Stuxel fight?
Stuccio was hateable back then, wanting Cabby to kill him in the ring, but no such luck.
Okay, buddy.
Stay gay.
All right.
Stay gay.
I don't know.
John's face didn't really look like a winner's face.
No, he got his ass kicked.
Yeah, so.
I did get your wish.
I think he's talking about all the lead up to that.
Right.
Because there was all these showdowns in the studio between those two.
And it was never a crazy cabby fan.
But John doesn't come off as a hero either in those.
So it would be interesting to revisit.
it someday long after John's
dead.
I would go back and revisit
old Howard Stern clips.
Maybe that could be a
emergency show.
I got to go.
Bye.
I got to go.
I got to go.
I got to go.
I got to go.
Okay.
Okay.
Folks.
Guess what?
The episode's over.
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.
All right, everybody.
You know, this was a great podcast.
It was very revealing.
Okay, bye.
The professionalism.
