Who Are These Podcasts? - Ep727 - The Sound Affect w/Artie Fletcher

Episode Date: May 17, 2026

Artie 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.

You see, this is a we just do it kind of show. Episode number seven, 27. Are you a boner guy? Oh, I was a boner guy. You know what?
Starting point is 00:00:44 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.
Starting point is 00:01:05 Maddieo. Cuzzaroo. Cuzzaroo. Slapparuni. It's showtime. WATP. WATP. Hello, what makes of Couseroo is welcome to another episode here on this podcast.
Starting point is 00:01:32 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.
Starting point is 00:01:48 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.
Starting point is 00:02:08 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.
Starting point is 00:02:32 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.
Starting point is 00:03:02 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.
Starting point is 00:03:18 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.
Starting point is 00:03:36 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.
Starting point is 00:03:57 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.
Starting point is 00:04:07 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.
Starting point is 00:04:24 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?
Starting point is 00:04:47 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.
Starting point is 00:05:01 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.
Starting point is 00:05:21 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.
Starting point is 00:05:40 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.
Starting point is 00:05:50 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
Starting point is 00:06:06 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
Starting point is 00:06:17 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
Starting point is 00:06:25 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.
Starting point is 00:06:38 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
Starting point is 00:07:05 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,
Starting point is 00:07:24 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!
Starting point is 00:07:42 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.
Starting point is 00:08:00 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,
Starting point is 00:08:11 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.
Starting point is 00:08:29 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.
Starting point is 00:08:40 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.
Starting point is 00:08:52 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.
Starting point is 00:09:07 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?
Starting point is 00:09:22 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.
Starting point is 00:09:40 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.
Starting point is 00:09:52 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
Starting point is 00:10:12 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...
Starting point is 00:10:28 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.
Starting point is 00:10:47 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.
Starting point is 00:11:00 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.
Starting point is 00:11:16 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?
Starting point is 00:11:33 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?
Starting point is 00:11:45 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.
Starting point is 00:11:56 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
Starting point is 00:12:08 Sure Bombs Sure I know you always love When he does jokes that bomb This one actually connects Yeah It actually makes sense
Starting point is 00:12:16 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
Starting point is 00:12:31 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!
Starting point is 00:12:46 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...
Starting point is 00:12:59 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.
Starting point is 00:13:16 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
Starting point is 00:13:38 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.
Starting point is 00:14:08 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?
Starting point is 00:14:21 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.
Starting point is 00:14:42 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,
Starting point is 00:14:58 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.
Starting point is 00:15:20 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.
Starting point is 00:15:33 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
Starting point is 00:15:51 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.
Starting point is 00:16:04 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.
Starting point is 00:16:17 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
Starting point is 00:16:36 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,
Starting point is 00:17:03 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.
Starting point is 00:17:15 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.
Starting point is 00:17:27 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.
Starting point is 00:17:33 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.
Starting point is 00:17:49 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
Starting point is 00:18:07 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
Starting point is 00:18:24 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.
Starting point is 00:18:40 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.
Starting point is 00:18:58 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.
Starting point is 00:19:14 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
Starting point is 00:19:29 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
Starting point is 00:19:42 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.
Starting point is 00:19:53 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?
Starting point is 00:20:07 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.
Starting point is 00:20:25 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
Starting point is 00:20:38 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
Starting point is 00:20:55 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?
Starting point is 00:21:15 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.
Starting point is 00:21:33 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.
Starting point is 00:21:54 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.
Starting point is 00:22:08 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.
Starting point is 00:22:30 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.
Starting point is 00:22:45 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
Starting point is 00:23:00 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
Starting point is 00:23:12 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?
Starting point is 00:23:22 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.
Starting point is 00:23:56 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.
Starting point is 00:24:11 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.
Starting point is 00:24:26 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.
Starting point is 00:24:42 368 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?
Starting point is 00:24:52 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.
Starting point is 00:25:12 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.
Starting point is 00:25:30 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.
Starting point is 00:25:43 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.
Starting point is 00:25:53 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.
Starting point is 00:26:02 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.
Starting point is 00:26:19 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,
Starting point is 00:26:32 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.
Starting point is 00:26:47 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.
Starting point is 00:27:04 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.
Starting point is 00:27:18 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.
Starting point is 00:27:30 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,
Starting point is 00:27:42 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.
Starting point is 00:27:54 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.
Starting point is 00:28:12 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.
Starting point is 00:28:38 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.
Starting point is 00:28:51 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
Starting point is 00:29:06 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.
Starting point is 00:29:23 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
Starting point is 00:29:47 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.
Starting point is 00:30:05 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?
Starting point is 00:30:26 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?
Starting point is 00:30:42 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.
Starting point is 00:30:58 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,
Starting point is 00:31:14 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.
Starting point is 00:31:29 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.
Starting point is 00:31:47 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.
Starting point is 00:32:02 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,
Starting point is 00:32:16 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.
Starting point is 00:32:36 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,
Starting point is 00:32:56 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.
Starting point is 00:33:11 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.
Starting point is 00:33:35 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
Starting point is 00:33:55 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
Starting point is 00:34:10 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
Starting point is 00:34:23 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
Starting point is 00:34:37 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
Starting point is 00:34:48 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.
Starting point is 00:35:27 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
Starting point is 00:35:39 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
Starting point is 00:35:55 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.
Starting point is 00:36:12 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.
Starting point is 00:36:26 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.
Starting point is 00:36:39 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.
Starting point is 00:36:48 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,
Starting point is 00:37:10 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.
Starting point is 00:37:28 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.
Starting point is 00:37:40 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...
Starting point is 00:37:55 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,
Starting point is 00:38:08 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.
Starting point is 00:38:24 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.
Starting point is 00:38:35 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?
Starting point is 00:38:53 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.
Starting point is 00:39:14 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?
Starting point is 00:39:35 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
Starting point is 00:39:52 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.
Starting point is 00:40:11 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.
Starting point is 00:40:34 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.
Starting point is 00:40:46 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
Starting point is 00:41:06 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
Starting point is 00:41:21 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
Starting point is 00:41:37 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
Starting point is 00:41:48 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
Starting point is 00:42:01 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.
Starting point is 00:42:26 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
Starting point is 00:42:37 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
Starting point is 00:42:47 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
Starting point is 00:42:57 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
Starting point is 00:43:04 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
Starting point is 00:43:13 Did you That commercial Was produced by Breck Eisner Who is Michael Eisner's son From Disney Oh okay
Starting point is 00:43:21 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
Starting point is 00:43:35 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
Starting point is 00:43:50 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.
Starting point is 00:44:04 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.
Starting point is 00:44:24 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.
Starting point is 00:44:48 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
Starting point is 00:45:10 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
Starting point is 00:45:27 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
Starting point is 00:45:41 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
Starting point is 00:45:58 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
Starting point is 00:46:09 Nope Hope or something else they do They build houses Yeah You know You know Anyway So it's amazing to me
Starting point is 00:46:17 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.
Starting point is 00:46:32 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?
Starting point is 00:46:48 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
Starting point is 00:47:02 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
Starting point is 00:47:16 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?
Starting point is 00:47:29 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.
Starting point is 00:47:44 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.
Starting point is 00:48:02 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.
Starting point is 00:48:20 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.
Starting point is 00:48:33 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.
Starting point is 00:48:46 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.
Starting point is 00:48:58 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.
Starting point is 00:49:21 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.
Starting point is 00:49:34 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.
Starting point is 00:49:48 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.
Starting point is 00:50:09 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.
Starting point is 00:50:20 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.
Starting point is 00:50:34 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.
Starting point is 00:50:47 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.
Starting point is 00:50:59 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.
Starting point is 00:51:16 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
Starting point is 00:51:29 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.
Starting point is 00:51:43 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.
Starting point is 00:51:59 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.
Starting point is 00:52:15 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.
Starting point is 00:52:31 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.
Starting point is 00:52:41 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
Starting point is 00:53:09 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.
Starting point is 00:53:26 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.
Starting point is 00:53:38 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.
Starting point is 00:53:50 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.
Starting point is 00:54:06 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.
Starting point is 00:54:19 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.
Starting point is 00:54:33 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.
Starting point is 00:54:44 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.
Starting point is 00:54:56 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.
Starting point is 00:55:13 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?
Starting point is 00:55:26 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.
Starting point is 00:55:36 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.
Starting point is 00:55:50 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.
Starting point is 00:56:13 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.
Starting point is 00:56:36 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
Starting point is 00:56:47 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
Starting point is 00:57:04 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
Starting point is 00:57:23 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.
Starting point is 00:57:37 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.
Starting point is 00:57:57 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.
Starting point is 00:58:13 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.
Starting point is 00:58:27 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
Starting point is 00:58:48 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
Starting point is 00:59:04 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.
Starting point is 00:59:20 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.
Starting point is 00:59:43 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.
Starting point is 01:00:01 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.
Starting point is 01:00:18 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.
Starting point is 01:00:36 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,
Starting point is 01:00:58 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.
Starting point is 01:01:17 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
Starting point is 01:01:38 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.
Starting point is 01:02:03 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.
Starting point is 01:02:18 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.
Starting point is 01:02:37 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.
Starting point is 01:02:55 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.
Starting point is 01:03:12 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.
Starting point is 01:03:39 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.
Starting point is 01:04:01 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?
Starting point is 01:04:10 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.
Starting point is 01:04:18 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.
Starting point is 01:04:29 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.
Starting point is 01:04:49 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
Starting point is 01:05:03 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.
Starting point is 01:05:16 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.
Starting point is 01:05:33 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.
Starting point is 01:05:55 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.
Starting point is 01:06:14 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.
Starting point is 01:06:29 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.
Starting point is 01:06:54 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.
Starting point is 01:07:09 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.
Starting point is 01:07:31 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
Starting point is 01:07:45 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.
Starting point is 01:08:06 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.
Starting point is 01:08:23 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,
Starting point is 01:08:31 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,
Starting point is 01:08:37 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,
Starting point is 01:08:48 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,
Starting point is 01:08:55 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,
Starting point is 01:09:09 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.
Starting point is 01:09:25 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
Starting point is 01:09:41 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
Starting point is 01:09:55 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.
Starting point is 01:10:19 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.
Starting point is 01:10:34 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.
Starting point is 01:10:44 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
Starting point is 01:10:57 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?
Starting point is 01:11:14 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
Starting point is 01:11:29 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
Starting point is 01:11:45 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
Starting point is 01:12:15 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
Starting point is 01:12:44 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.
Starting point is 01:13:02 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.
Starting point is 01:13:28 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.
Starting point is 01:14:13 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.
Starting point is 01:14:33 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.
Starting point is 01:14:48 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.
Starting point is 01:15:11 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.
Starting point is 01:15:29 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.
Starting point is 01:15:52 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.
Starting point is 01:16:19 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,
Starting point is 01:16:52 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.
Starting point is 01:17:12 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.
Starting point is 01:17:21 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,
Starting point is 01:17:45 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,
Starting point is 01:18:03 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
Starting point is 01:18:24 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.
Starting point is 01:18:55 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?
Starting point is 01:19:17 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.
Starting point is 01:19:35 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
Starting point is 01:19:52 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.
Starting point is 01:20:31 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?
Starting point is 01:20:54 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
Starting point is 01:21:21 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
Starting point is 01:21:37 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
Starting point is 01:21:53 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
Starting point is 01:22:04 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.
Starting point is 01:22:21 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.
Starting point is 01:22:44 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.
Starting point is 01:22:56 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?
Starting point is 01:23:19 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.
Starting point is 01:23:34 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.
Starting point is 01:23:52 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.
Starting point is 01:24:27 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.
Starting point is 01:24:42 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.
Starting point is 01:24:57 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.
Starting point is 01:25:17 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.
Starting point is 01:25:30 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.
Starting point is 01:25:59 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?
Starting point is 01:26:31 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.
Starting point is 01:26:50 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.
Starting point is 01:27:09 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.
Starting point is 01:27:31 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.
Starting point is 01:27:57 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.
Starting point is 01:28:10 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.
Starting point is 01:28:34 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.
Starting point is 01:28:54 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.
Starting point is 01:29:03 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.
Starting point is 01:29:24 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.
Starting point is 01:29:51 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.
Starting point is 01:30:08 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.
Starting point is 01:30:22 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.
Starting point is 01:30:39 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.
Starting point is 01:31:07 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.
Starting point is 01:31:20 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.
Starting point is 01:31:40 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.
Starting point is 01:31:58 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?
Starting point is 01:32:23 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
Starting point is 01:32:38 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
Starting point is 01:32:52 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.
Starting point is 01:33:07 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.
Starting point is 01:33:20 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?
Starting point is 01:33:32 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.
Starting point is 01:33:48 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.
Starting point is 01:34:03 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.
Starting point is 01:34:18 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.
Starting point is 01:34:32 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.
Starting point is 01:34:45 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.
Starting point is 01:34:59 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
Starting point is 01:35:15 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
Starting point is 01:35:34 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.
Starting point is 01:35:58 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.
Starting point is 01:36:22 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.
Starting point is 01:36:38 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.
Starting point is 01:36:50 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.
Starting point is 01:37:08 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.
Starting point is 01:37:26 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.
Starting point is 01:37:45 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?
Starting point is 01:38:05 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,
Starting point is 01:38:20 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.
Starting point is 01:38:34 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.
Starting point is 01:38:43 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.
Starting point is 01:38:56 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
Starting point is 01:39:23 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.
Starting point is 01:40:05 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.
Starting point is 01:40:23 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
Starting point is 01:40:34 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
Starting point is 01:40:46 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.
Starting point is 01:41:02 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.
Starting point is 01:41:23 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.
Starting point is 01:41:59 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
Starting point is 01:42:14 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
Starting point is 01:42:30 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.
Starting point is 01:42:49 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.
Starting point is 01:43:08 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?
Starting point is 01:43:18 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.
Starting point is 01:43:32 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.
Starting point is 01:43:48 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.
Starting point is 01:44:05 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.
Starting point is 01:44:17 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.
Starting point is 01:44:36 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
Starting point is 01:44:51 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.
Starting point is 01:45:07 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.
Starting point is 01:45:21 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.
Starting point is 01:45:36 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
Starting point is 01:45:53 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
Starting point is 01:46:11 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.
Starting point is 01:46:31 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.
Starting point is 01:46:48 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.
Starting point is 01:47:01 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.
Starting point is 01:47:15 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.
Starting point is 01:47:36 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?
Starting point is 01:47:49 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.
Starting point is 01:48:09 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
Starting point is 01:48:25 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
Starting point is 01:48:41 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.
Starting point is 01:48:59 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.
Starting point is 01:49:13 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.
Starting point is 01:49:40 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.
Starting point is 01:49:56 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,
Starting point is 01:50:11 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.
Starting point is 01:50:28 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?
Starting point is 01:50:48 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.
Starting point is 01:51:03 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
Starting point is 01:51:30 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.
Starting point is 01:51:56 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.
Starting point is 01:52:09 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?
Starting point is 01:52:26 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
Starting point is 01:52:47 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
Starting point is 01:53:03 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
Starting point is 01:53:17 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.
Starting point is 01:53:28 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,
Starting point is 01:53:37 let's see, Ron. Let's see. Thanks for giving the fucking punch line away. You know, I know everything. I know everything.
Starting point is 01:53:43 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.
Starting point is 01:54:06 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
Starting point is 01:54:21 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
Starting point is 01:54:37 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.
Starting point is 01:54:52 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?
Starting point is 01:55:08 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,
Starting point is 01:55:20 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.
Starting point is 01:55:41 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.
Starting point is 01:55:53 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.
Starting point is 01:56:10 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.
Starting point is 01:56:23 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?
Starting point is 01:56:40 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.
Starting point is 01:56:54 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.
Starting point is 01:57:15 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.
Starting point is 01:57:32 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
Starting point is 01:57:48 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
Starting point is 01:58:09 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.
Starting point is 01:58:26 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.
Starting point is 01:58:45 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
Starting point is 01:58:59 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.
Starting point is 01:59:11 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.
Starting point is 01:59:25 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.
Starting point is 01:59:40 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.
Starting point is 02:00:01 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.
Starting point is 02:00:17 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.
Starting point is 02:00:34 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?
Starting point is 02:00:50 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.
Starting point is 02:01:08 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.
Starting point is 02:01:22 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.
Starting point is 02:01:42 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.
Starting point is 02:01:58 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.
Starting point is 02:02:14 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.
Starting point is 02:02:39 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?
Starting point is 02:02:59 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,
Starting point is 02:03:14 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.
Starting point is 02:03:29 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.
Starting point is 02:03:46 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.
Starting point is 02:04:06 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.
Starting point is 02:04:30 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.
Starting point is 02:04:59 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.
Starting point is 02:05:13 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.
Starting point is 02:05:26 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
Starting point is 02:05:36 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,
Starting point is 02:05:50 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.
Starting point is 02:06:08 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.
Starting point is 02:06:27 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.
Starting point is 02:06:45 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.
Starting point is 02:07:10 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.
Starting point is 02:07:21 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.
Starting point is 02:07:47 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.
Starting point is 02:08:05 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.
Starting point is 02:08:18 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.
Starting point is 02:08:37 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.
Starting point is 02:08:53 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.
Starting point is 02:09:03 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.
Starting point is 02:09:18 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.
Starting point is 02:09:29 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.
Starting point is 02:09:49 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.
Starting point is 02:10:04 Okay. Okay. Folks. Guess what? The episode's over. That was a great episode. That was really great. All right.
Starting point is 02:10:15 Ready to roll the credits? Yep. All right, guys. Bye. Until next time. Bye. All right, everybody. You know, this was a great podcast.
Starting point is 02:10:24 It was very revealing. Okay, bye. The professionalism.
