Who Are These Podcasts? - Ep728 - Take Your Shoes Off, Bryan Callen, Opie, Brendan Schaub, Stuttering John

Episode Date: May 21, 2026

We start this week checking out Aaron Imholte’s latest cope session, this time about losing monetization on YouTube for violating their harassment policy. He has some ideas about how to make up for the lost income and they’re mostly “give me more money.” The hosts of The Fighter and the Kid can’t even be bothered to show up for their own show. Bryan Callen is flailing. He went on Rick Glassman’s show and was totally humiliated as he wasn’t able to riff, improvise, or keep up. Opie went to Boston and couldn’t wait to tell Ron the Waiter how funny he was and show him the hilarious video he made about John Hancock’s grave. Stuttering John was on Stephanie Miller’s show with Alonzo Bodden and couldn’t make Alonzo laugh once, but it wasn’t from a lack of trying. Annie joins us for a round of “Opie or Burr,” she reads some recent reviews, and finish with your voicemails.  Watch this episode here: https://youtube.com/live/QFvpZxYBOtw Support us, get bonus episodes, and watch live every Saturday and Wednesday: ⁠⁠http://bit.ly/watp-patreon⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://watp.supercast.tech/⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

I told them in the strongest of words to just do it. You see, this is a... We just do it kind of show. Seriously, listening to all these horrible shows is really affecting me. It's not good for us. It's not. It's not good for your health. Not good for anyone. Although I really enjoy myself quite a bit right now.

Episode number seven. 28. Are you a boner guy? Oh, I was a boner guy. You know what? I miss penis. What are you talking about? I'm the one who should have possible. 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 entertaining, okay? By the way, for those people that are in the back, remember to shut the fuck up. Maddieo! Cuzzaroo! Cuzzaroo! Slapparoonie! It's showtime.

ATP! WATP. Hello, welcome to make the good for Roos. Welcome to another episode. episode of Horthy podcast, the only show that's still crazy after all these years. I'm your host, Carl. With me every Wednesday, the man who is currently in your chat right now. It's Adam Bush.

Art Garfunkel to your Paul Simon, reporting for dealing. Producer Chris is here as well. Hello. Go to Who Are These.com. That's where you get the links in the content and all the cool stuff. We just did another bonus show yesterday. I was on with my buddy Blind Mike, and we did a crossover. And what I do with Mike, so if we go on our Patreon or if you're a member on YouTube, you'll see that there.

this episode is part 12 of Julia Fox's autobiography, and I am falling in love with this book. It's fucking awesome. It's so ridiculous and just complete horseshit, just the stuff that she makes up about her life. And we're five hours, 15 minutes in to her audiobook. She finally tried heroin. We've been waiting.

I knew what happened eventually, you know? I love that she spent as much time talking about when she was six. I was just talking about dating Gagne West. It's like, yeah, I mean, that might be a little bit more important

to the reader, but whatever. You do you. It's fine. Anyway, it's fantastic. So check out that episode. I always love getting together

with Blind Mike. We even did some of our old stomping grounds for who are these socials, covering some, some woke chat, Opie's TikTok. Oh, you do care about the fans. Woke Dad classic.

Ooh. So that was fun. We appreciate your guys support. If you want to support us, Patreon. dot com, especially who are these podcasts. Also, we encourage our listeners, give us five stars wherever you review podcasts and then shit all over us in the comment section. Today, you can support this show by going to supertip.g.g. slash wATP. We do appreciate that support, and it will work.

I have it to working. Supertip.g.g. slash wATP. All right. What are we talking about today? I'll tell you what we're talking about today. The fighter and the kid are not even showing up anymore. I don't know what's going on with these guys, but Brian Kellen went on Rick Glassman's podcast, just to get humiliated, I assume. That's what it seems like. Sweet. Opie went to Boston and made a hilarious video that's catching fire.

And he can't wait to tell Ron Berman all about it. Alonzo Bowden was on Stephanie Miller and Southern John tries everything he can to make him laugh. And he gets nothing. It's fucking great. And it will be here to play the Opie or Burr game. We have new voicemails. but first,

Aaron Imholt head his YouTube channel demonetized. Did you know about this? I did hear about this. Do we know why? He's going to explain it to us. He's going to tell us what he thinks happened.

Now, if you know anything about me, I'm not a fan of a flagging channel that I want anyone to get demonetized. I do think that sucks. And, you know, Aaron, a good buddy of mine. So I feel for him as he's going through this difficulty. time. Let's talk about why some of you are coming to our YouTube channel today and seeing that there are no memberships. I got an email yesterday from YouTube that said we're demonetized

for harassment. Now, let me get this part out of the way real quick. That's like that story checks out already. Yeah. I mean, what did he think was going to happen? Right. I 1,000% suspect quartering Chrissy or Carmich as the people who reported this. Okay. So he thinks, He wants so badly be part of the quartering story. It's such a big story right now. So he's like, oh, it's probably Jeremy. He's probably out there flagging me for harassment. Jeremy doesn't fucking care about steel toe.

Yeah, he doesn't know about him, right? I doubt it. You know, Jeremy has 2 million subs on YouTube and Aaron pretends he has 500 live viewers. It's like, not even close. just people that we crush and beat on a daily basis. They can't beat us so they report. That's what it is. I will give Carl and Patrick and all those guys a little credit today.

At least they lose. They tuck their tail between their legs. They cancel their show. That's what a failed media effort does. Okay. He wants our attention so bad. He misses this little piggy more than anyone. And I've heard from people who miss this little piggy.

I miss this little piggy. We'll be back. But, God, he misses us. he brings us up all the time. He does not want us to go away. It makes him irrelevant. But it's still a win for him. Right.

If we talk about him, it's because he's box office. And so it's a win. If we don't talk about him, it's because we had low ratings and got canceled. Your pussies. Yeah, something like that. It used to be I needed Aaron in order to make money. Now it turns out I can not talk about him at all and be fine.

But both things are a win for Mr. Imhold. It cancels shows. You know, if a show doesn't get good ratings, they cancel it. They canceled. Yeah, also, that's a good question from Captain Cheese. Has Melton done a single streams in Takamania? I think he's done two. And he showed up on X yesterday, but no, Patrick's been out of commission.

So Aaron just destroyed him completely. Yes, so that must be one of this. Wow. humiliated after the successful hackamania event, you had to run and hide. Their show after they realized they couldn't beat us. I respect that. Maybe I should go a little lighter on those guys. I don't.

Sweetie. I know. That's nice of you. No. But when you're getting your ass kicked by, like, we humiliated the quartering. He brought it up on his show. He's like, there's some morning show. It's not even worth mentioning this fucking with.

Play the clip. Yeah. Humiliated the quartering. Aaron, I mean, I'm sorry, man. How many people have fucking humiliated the quartering in the last month? Jesus Christ. Talk about a paranoid delusional ex-lover. The guy said some morning show, and he is positive.

Of course. And then we did, you know, four or five videos on him. And then Chrissy, we humiliated. I mean, Chrissy, we beat into the ground by criticizing what was out there, by making fun of what was out there. And then Karmic, of course, I mean, we pounded him into pulp. Karmik's the only one who actually, this would be on this radar, you know, that Aaron's talking about him.

Chrissy's got too many fucking people talking about her. So does the quartering. I will say this. I think Felicia Gillespie is awesome. And I'll never have a bad thing to say about her. I think she's a wonderful person. And, you know, just because Karmic got his channel taken down. And now Aaron's been demonetized.

I think that just proves that Felicia is fucking awesome. It's probably a great girlfriend. And, you know, Karmic fucked up. I'll just say that. One of them definitely pulled the trigger on us because we're not a harassing show. We're not a harassing channel. This guy lost his job at radio because he was harassing another radio host. He does a segment called The White Power Hour.

He also has had two restraining orders out of him because of harassment specifically. He's accused everyone here in this panel of very specific real crimes. Yes. But he shreds at basketball. in jail. He's very good of best. He's in jail. The one-handed dribble. So I deleted almost all of our Chrissy and Quartering

stuff, deleted almost all of our karmic stuff, and then I appealed the decision. I got an email from a person at YouTube yesterday. Aria, she was very nice. I like that Aaron tries to pretend as like a big time guy. Yeah, yeah. YouTube

employees are reaching out to this guy who's got 200 live viewers and has said many times, YouTube is not his main channel. He uses Rumble. He doesn't care about YouTube. He blocks everyone on YouTube. But he's got a direct line to the employees over there.

He completely made up that name. He offers no information that's not from the standard form or AI letter that they send. And he's trying to create this that no one buys. ARIA, I think, is the name for GROC AI. There you go. I think I talked to ARIA. Oh, yeah? Chris?

There is this tell. He's looking completely to the side. Mm-hmm. He's almost, when he's smug and confident, he's looking right at us. Yep. He's gesticulating and acting. He doesn't feel good about this. And she did say, we're reviewing this.

And if this is frivolous, we will reverse it. So, yeah, by the way, that's the form letter you get back. Right. Yeah, see? Set in the appeal. It says, okay, we'll review this and we'll be in touch. And Chris, his body is running away. Yeah.

But his face is like trying to stay and fight this. monetization could come back. We haven't heard back yet. That's usually a good thing. Okay, this is great. What we're going to see here is that Aaron has been obviously freaking out about this. I would too.

That sucks to get your channel demonetized. And so he's thought up, what's he going to do to make up for the money he's going to lose? And he's got some really good ideas. Fingers crossed again. Praid about it. fingers crossed the whole deal.

I haven't heard back yet in about 12 hours, over 12 hours. So that to me is a positive sign. If it comes back, I've already set some things in place that are going to be really, really good for the show and probably things I already should have been doing. But I kind of was forced into doing them yesterday because if we lose our monetization, that would mean memberships and add revenue on the videos. Okay. Would it be a death blow for the show?

No. I mean, the show can survive losing YouTube monetization. Yeah, because you beg for money every episode. I like, did you guys know what my business model is? It's actually begging you guys for money. Yeah, yeah. I'm aware of that. You need 300 bucks every morning, 200 bucks every evening.

Yeah. It will suck shit for a couple of months. Basically, who's the show for? We're talking about it all the time. And if he does this show for him. Yes. What is the point of talking us through any of this? The immediate change I make is I'll just take my pay as an owner, as a CEO.

I'll take my pay that way. I'll just, you know, we'll put the W-2s and the taxes on hold for a while, and I'll take my compensation in the form of just ownership, dividends, if you will. We don't care. We don't care about your creative accounting practices in order to make up for the law. I lost revenue. Who the fuck talks like this? Someone who wants to save money on therapy.

It's such a bizarre thing to share this with us. He's like, all right, I lost my monetization. You guys probably think I'm going to be poor now. But actually, what I'm going to do is a little creative accounting at the backhand and keep paying myself money. I misspoke. I'm sorry. It's not for him.

It's just like John. It's for us solely. He hates it. It's so we know he's not a loser. And he's breaking it down. so no one can say that, but really just revealing that he's more than we even thought of a loser. Long term, we'll bring a couple advertisers on. People will be donating through ways where we get 100% of the money or 80% of the money instead of 70% of the money.

The other thing we can do is we will pump the shit out of Patreon and locals. Hopefully you guys who have YouTube members. If all you, well, not even all you guys. If two thirds of you guys who have YouTube memberships, click that Patreon link in YouTube or join locals on Rumble, we'll do all our members-only shows there. This is great.

I knew we'd come up with this idea. I just had a sneaking suspicion. What we can do to make up for me getting demonetize from YouTube is you guys can just give me more money. What if? What if, how about this, guys? No, he's right. What if you sign up for ways to give me money directly?

and I just get that money. 100% or 80%. He goes, we're going to bring us some advertisers. Sure. Believe what I see it. That I've been sleeping on. That I've been ready to go.

But it hasn't wasted his time with that. Meanwhile, he's got this Stony's 30th anniversary logo on his thing. Stonies hasn't been a sponsor in almost a year since his last live show there last summer. And it's the 30th anniversary was four years ago. If I'm the older of Stonis, like, buddy, we're not celebrating our 30th anniversary anymore. What are you doing with this? Anyway, neither here nor there.

So all of a sudden he's going to get these advertisers that he's never had, maybe another towing company or something. That's really important on YouTube streams. And then you can give him money at another place. And then you can give him money through a way that the platform doesn't take a large percentage of it. Okay. These are good plans, Aaron. I'm glad you met with the team and came back with this.

This is good. And we'll do all our members only content there and we'll start up the live chat and it'll be like a discord or whatever you guys can write, whatever the fuck you want, send story ideas. If it goes through, if it gets confirmed that we are demonetized, we will do that. If it is not confirmed that we're demonetized, we will still do that. We just won't need you to join it to kind of keep things the way they are. Aaron, we don't fucking care. Need you to join it to keep things how they are. You mean in order for you to make as much money as you want to make,

the amount you're used to making? Why is that your audience's problem? It's not. I'll tell you what, guys. If I get this thing overruled, then I'm not going to force you to give me money on locals. Oh, few. Okay, cool.

Well, let me know how that goes, man, because I got a budget for Q3. Luckily, we've been doing very. very well the last couple of years. Luckily, we've been making money the last couple of years. Dude, this is just, he's soothing himself right now. He is just in the rape shower. Just, we're making money.

We're doing really well. It's going to be okay. It's going to suck shit for a couple of months. He said that. It's going to suck shit. But we're going to get through this. We've been doing our rights. Never seen a broadcaster do this before.

He's unique. we can absorb losing the 13, it's 1,300 bucks a month on YouTube. Like I said, it's not a show killer. If you switch your donations to PayPal, Stream Labs, and Venmo, if you switch your donations over to Rumble, that's going to take up a chunk of it. If you join Patreon or you join locals. Again, why is you making this my problem?

Could you imagine, I don't know, Disney maybe has like a bad quarter or something, and the earnings are down, they're like, look it, if everyone can just plan a trip to Disney, Disneyland this year and watch ABC a little bit more often. No other company tells the customers like, this is what you need to do to make my company right. And they don't do it during the show. Like, Amy Poehler doesn't come out at the beginning and go, before we get to our guest,

let's just break down all of these quarters and how you're all failing me because nobody cares. There's a product. They're there to see. He has no audience. They're not missing anything. Whatever he says is the show. That's it.

And he assumes they're invested. Even telethons bring out entertainment. At some point. You struggle or something. Jesus. It'll be the same amount of money. It might even be a dollar a month less if you join those and we'll just move all our members only stuff over there.

Links are in the chat. The members only stuff is insane. This guy, once a week maybe, he'll do a member's only show where he shows up and completely unprepared talks to the chat for 45 minutes. It's not even a show. That's the regular show. Well, yeah, that's the regular show. There's no guy in a wheelchair next to him on the members only.

We can make it up that way. We've got a couple people who want to come aboard. We'll make it up that way. So the money we would lose from that would be made up. Can I just point out the way that Aaron runs his show now is he's got this little ticker going across the bottom with the top stories that they're going to be covering on the show. The number two story is steel-toe demonetize. I want to hear what Steelto has to say about Steeltoe getting team out of time. I've got to tune into this one.

Podcasts are convicted of revenge born. No, that one never showed up on there for some reason. That was actual news. If we don't lose it, if it does come back, this is not something we need to worry about. And I hate to turn this into a grifting thing. There's an ice hope. Bubble popper, well done. Kind of out of character, Aaron.

Well done with that, at it, the gray bubble popper. So you were in his chat on Monday. He lost, he missed the goal by a lot. Yeah. Yeah. He did a five-hour stream Monday morning because he was doing overtime. Now, overtime used to be to like reward you. Yes.

Or it would be if he got within 50 bucks, then he'd go a little longer to get more money. Now it's to punish us? Now it's to punish us, yeah. He might never leave. And so he did five hours and he's off by, what, $75, something like that. and it just got so pathetic. But somehow you caught his eye. He didn't know who you were, though, Adam.

No, I don't even remember what was I talking about. Was it anything interesting? I don't remember what you were saying to him, but he was just like, okay, kid. I don't even know how you were fucking with him, but it definitely, it was a free chat, and it bothered him so much he had to read it out loud. Yeah, it was something I said that he, like, spun to be like a positive.

I was giving him, like, a way to do something, something, and he took it as a, thanks, way to go, Adam Bush. All right, moving on. Yeah. He really put me in my place. It was tough. Yeah. I think he called you kiddo or something.

He got you good. That one. So that's our buddy, Aaron Imholt, and I'm sure we'll talk more about him on Devilverse Live tomorrow. I believe a trucker Andy will be our guest. I want to find out those couple of people that are coming aboard in whatever capacity he's talking about that will help somehow. I think he means advertisers. Could you imagine seeing that guy show and be like, I need to be a person. part of this.

Where do I, who do I write the, the checkout to? Oh, we just got to do a quick background check. Ah, never mind. I'm sorry. All right, let's talk about the fighter and the kid. There's some weird shit going on. You know, we talked about how, well, I should probably play my, my stinger before we do it. Dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb.

Because to me, I'm just a, it's literally a blimp in the road, man. Stupid ass can be. Brendan Shaw's been doing this thing where he's trying to like lean into the hate and he's addressing comments and he went on his Patreon. They started up a Patreon recently and he was answering a question about the fighter and the kid's future and he's like, I think we gotta get down to like one day a week. Brian Callan doesn't have it anymore. He's too old to be funny. Like he said all this crazy shit and I'm like tuning into the next fighter and the kid like, is this going to be their last show? Not a mention of it.

And Brian Cailin is off for one episode. He comes back and just like, I can't wait to bust ball to the amount. my friend, this is going to be a blast. I love doing this show. And no one was buying it. Well, Brian Callan has a trip to Mexico planned in June. And if you remember when they first moved to Austin, Brendan Schaup was very annoyed with Brian Callan for having vacation.

Because then he had to find someone to fill in for him. And it's very important that the fighter and the kid put out these episodes. I don't know why they think that. But they certainly think that. So Brian's talking about his vacation June 13th through the 20th. Are you doing anything that summer to any plans, Chin? You have anything? I'd like to go visit my family and friends again.

In LA? Weekend, yeah. That's easy. Yeah, that's easy. I mean, 13 to 20th, though, you guys want to just go dark? Sure. We can take a break. I've never, yeah, that would be kind of cool just to have a week off.

But either way, I'm going to miss. I always miss, like, working. So we'll still have a big brown breakdown. But okay. This is before the show, right? This is not the show. They're about to record. Could you imagine this is your broadcasting style?

It looks like Brendan's ready for a nap. The way he's sprawled out on that. So what just happened is? They go, oh, 13th through the 20th. Should we just take the week off and just say fuck it? And Chin, who moved his entire life over to Texas to produce this show. goes, I wouldn't mind visiting my friends and family who I'd ever see anymore. That'd be pretty cool.

And before he finished that sentence, while he was still on the last word, the coho said, yep. Oh, Brian was all in. Yep. Yeah. But did you see what Brendan just did there? He goes, yeah, we can take the whole week off. And Chin's going, sweet, I can actually spend some time with friends for a week. And Brendan goes, well, we do have the big brown breakdown.

That's his new solo show. That's what he calls it now. It's the show. So he's like, we're your friends. He's like, ah, not so fast. Maybe a weekend. I'll let you get away for a weekend. But I'm coming with you.

Right. I have a very important show that I have to do. I'm trying to get on. I think we were taking a week off. Sometimes it breaks good. We also have banks and stuff. Yeah, we're going to have one episode. Dude, these two hate each other.

Yeah. So Brian Kellen's looking for like an out. He's like, I don't want to be the reason why we miss a whole, week. We banked episodes. We can just put those out. And Brennan's like, yeah, I think we have like one fucking episode asshole because I can't get you here because you don't want to do this show anymore. He's made very clear. Right. Cameron is so checked out on this show. And Brennan's pissed at him about it. True. We'll figure it out. Oh, he just got scolded. Did you see Brian's response to that? True. Yeah. I didn't read the bank statement.

We'll figure it out, asshole. They can't make eye contact. And this is like what a band is like after many years on the road when they just can't even look at each other. They don't even know why they're mad anymore. They're just, that's what this is. There's no coming back from this. You don't like rebound and find your spark with this again.

Well, Brian, and this is the point that Brendan was making on that solo show. Is it Brian's like not even trying to be interesting or entertaining? He's so checked out. And maybe he just sucks. We're going to have a presentation in a minute when he was out with Rick Glassman that didn't go well for Brian Callan. But listen to the topics that he brings up. And Brendan, like, makes fun of him for it during this. Yeah, we went, there's, you know what?

You bring up Morel mushrooms. They're really expensive. And they're really seasonal. And they're delicious with butter and garlic. That right there. And there are, you have to know exactly where to go. sweat elevation and we went looking for Morrell mushrooms

and got 200 of them. We're getting older, aren't we? No, no, no, well, we're up there and I wish I cared about mushrooms and I wish you didn't hunt for him. I know. I mean, I can't believe I'm starting to say with Brett and shop on this show. I wish I gave a fuck about what you're talking about, man.

But there's no way in hell. I'm going to give a shit about you fighting mushrooms. Brian has forgotten whether he's supposed to be playing this. character as a joke or whether it's actually him. Yeah. It's all blurred into this one boring porridge. You're right.

And too, but we are some truffle pigs. Well, a couple of truffle pigs. I was a little truffle pig. Got a bunch of those. Okay. So that's what their show is like when they're doing the show together. Now, sometimes Brian Kellen doesn't show up at all. And Brendan Schaub can't really be bothered to be there either.

And podcast cringe put this. video out recently I found very interesting. Talking about how sad it is. Sorry, I should start from the beginning of this. All right, here we go. All right, dudes, I'm going to take off. All right. You boys hold it down.

Go watch. Thank you, sir. Phil Heath's episode dropped today, yeah? Yeah. Go watch it, boys. Check it out. Yeah, we out. I leave you guys with the mothership.

All right. Thank you, sir. What's crazy about this podcast is it started like an ecosystem. Yeah. Let's get into it. Imagine creating a video. And then you have to explain to your friends where your source of income comes from What are you doing?

Get a job Like this is a South African guy, his channel's podcast cringe Now he just basically he sees what's going on in the world creates like what he thinks people and he makes like probably Over a million dollars a year on his YouTube channel It's a business just going bad on people yeah But he's good but he does it to not only by like Bert Kreischer he goes on Bert Joe Tom But he's good Yeah

What he does. Yeah, there's a bunch of, like, like, shittier ones, like the guy who has, like, the weird voice. I don't remember his name. But there's, like, those ones suck. But the podcast is cringe. That guy that does that one, that South African,

like, he could make a, like, he's making a little. He makes a fucking look. I know, so it's hard to argue with him. Yeah, yeah. Brendan Shob just walked out of his own podcast after 32 minutes, and Brian Callan didn't even show up. This is where the fighter and the kid is at after 15 years. All that's less.

Left now is two filling guys that nobody's ever heard of, left to run a show where half the viewers are haters and the other half are bots. Well, said. So you got this guy, this cousin Oliver, has come in to save the show. And we've played him on WTP before. Which no one really knows who he is. Apparently, like he opens for Brian Callan or something. So he's like a feature act for Brian on the road.

And so this guy's just like, all right, you'll be the third mic on here. Great. then all of a sudden this guy's buddy shows up and now he's been tagged in and Brennan's like, all right, you got this, bye guys. And so these two no-name chuckle-fox took over the fighter and the kid and all they did was read Cowens.

People being like, how come Brad Killen sucks now and no one likes the show and no one's paying attention to it? And so they thought it would be a good idea to do a whole segment pushing back against the haters not realizing that the bulls, not realizing that the bots Brendan paid for are hate watching too. But the day before this episode dropped, Shorb did a solo appearance on the Joe Rogan experience for the first time in years. After moving to Texas over a year ago to get closer to the little guy, he finally got a proper full-length

one-on-one episode with Joe Rogan. So he's got three hours for Joe Rogan but 32 minutes for his own show. And he didn't even mention the fighter and the kid once. The JRE episode description doesn't even listed in his bio anymore. He's just host of Big Brown Breakdown and the Tooby series Gearheads Gone Wild. How crazy is that? This fucking guys have the biggest

podcast and doesn't even plug the fighter of the kid. That's a fuck you to Brian Kallin, right? Yes. Directly. If you go out and his his family, his friends, anybody loves him like that, I used to have fun with Vinnie Paulina by never

promoting the creep off when I do things. But, you know, it's just kind of the way we flirt. This is really shitty. Yeah, Chin, seriously. And you can't convince me that it's just a co-inkie-dink. Meanwhile, back at the storage unit, Chin and the new hosts were producing one of the cringiest episodes of the podcast in its entire history.

We're talking well over a thousand episodes, and Brendan and Brian are still redefining rock bottom. I mean, they weren't even there. How do you bomb on a podcast you weren't even on? These two Muppets spent the entire episode doing messer analysis of the show itself instead of actually producing an entertaining podcast, which seems to be a foreign concept to comedians nowadays. Instead, they were defending the hosts,

answering questions on behalf of the hosts, and telling critics to get a job. The one guy, someone was like, we don't know who you are, and I guess he auditioned for SNL, which is not a credit. I auditioned for SNL. Did you get it?

Yes. no okay I tried to get a high-paying job right yeah I tried to be famous once didn't work out okay no well it's too bad then um so yeah I was checking out on the podcast cringe he does a great job and uh I thought I gave you a quick update on what's going on also Unique's channel I used for the other clips we were pouring from Fighter and the Kid so thanks to uh unique Adam, you were checking out Rick Glassman had Brian Kallan on as a guest

and I'm going to let you take this one away because you were fascinated by the dynamics between these two. Yeah, it's like with the new Hubble telescope, we can see farther than we ever could before. We can see back into time when stars are born. This right here, this episode with Rick Glassman is like the birth of a low cal you get to see how it's formed out of dust into this thing because

brian is just not aware of what's happening and he thinks he is and to some degree they are riffing but they're not he's just rick is burying him in such a beautiful uh just a soft way it's so almost unnoticeable, but it's vicious and it is almost violent and Brian does not recover. Brian's like lost his fastball or something because this is a guy who's had a long career in entertainment. He's been in movies. He's been on television and starring roles on a sitcom, you know, Mad TV, of course. Could Brendan be right about him?

I'm starting to think that Brendan's right about this guy. He's the problem on the fighter of the kid. He might be because he shows up with nothing. He's got nothing to talk about. He's not interested or interesting. He's just kind of acting like he's better than everybody. So that and that package coupled with the fact that he just keeps falling down steps this entire thing is wonderful to watch.

It really is. And let's not forget, we played it on this show a few weeks ago where Brian all of a sudden Googled himself. And he's like, these fucking people are talking shit about my comedy special. Did you have you guys seen this? It's fucking wild. They're saying I suck. Yeah.

I know I suck. Right. I don't need you. That was his defense. But also he did the, look at, we're just comics trying to make you laugh. Yeah. You know, why would you go after us? Like this whole idea that he's untouchable for some reason.

Yeah. He should not be criticized by people. Really what you're going to enjoy is that dynamic of like a kid and their dad. And the kids making fun of the dad and the dad thinks he's in on it. And he's singling the. All the other kids are the sleepover that he is in on it, but he is not. All right. So Rick's very excited for Brian to come to the house and be on the podcast.

Hello? I'm here. You still want to do this? All the way here. What do you mean? All right. I'll be right out. Jesus.

I'll be right out. So Rick doesn't seem all that enthusiastic. You still want to do this. You get that cut. Hello? It sounds like Brian was late and Rick's already kind of annoyed with him, right? Because Brian's kind of big-timing him a little bit. I bet Brian was on time and he was still big-timing him a little bit.

Either way. It's very funny. Let's skip your next clip. Let's go to number three. Yeah, this is great. He's, yeah, he's basically, Brian is pitching Rick coming to Austin and performing in his improv show called acting off where they do different kind of acting performances. And you're like, you know, in action movies, the hero is always, you know, he's kind of a long time retired. He lives on a farm now he's turned his back on society.

Well, in movies like that you would go in for. We need you. We need you one more. We need you for one more mission. The acting movies I go out for, though, for action are more like, I'm the rookie who, like, they need you to come teach me because they haven't seen somebody like you until me. That's good. Because I'm 29. That's good.

I like that. Don't say you're 29 because I don't know if that's true. You might be a little older than that. Do you know what I mean? I don't. I wasn't paying attention. I was getting a little nervous on how to intro you. Give me one second.

Just Brian Callan credits. I mean, just like humiliating him right off the bat. In so many different ways. He's making him feel old, explaining that he's out of touch, while he threw at him a bottle of both of their podcast sponsors, Magic Mind, and made him drink it on camera to which Brian did a like Martin short Steve Martin level performance of I am so grossed out right now and trying to act like it's normal till it ends with oh that's good I love this stuff I can't get enough I do love Magic Pine by the way I have a long time spotter of this program still a fan yeah and me too this is on Brian this is not on the product at all for any of you listening you can still get that WATP bundle so one of the things that's amazing about Brian here is that he feels he needs to let Rick know that he's a big deal and a big get. And the way that you do that, at least the way you do it in the dabbleverse, is you list all

of your credits. You just start going through your resume. Because I know you did something or you're a gym teacher. The Goldbergs, dude. Yeah, but wasn't there a spinoff? And then schooled, yeah. And the hangover and mad TV. Sex and the Hanging Over 2 and Sex and the City.

Yeah. You know, it kind of goes on and on. Yeah. You know what I mean? I like the way you sit. You rather refined. It's been three years. Three years in July.

Wow. Wow. So, I got to tell you, I would have thought he'd probably promote the fighter and the kid since that's like the very first podcast there of two guys sitting down and talking to each other. This is what they told me. Revolutionary.

Yeah, every podcast is now based on the fighter and the kid. You'd think he'd throw that out there for his resume. No, the Goldbergs and whatever that other show was. Shows that are not on the air anymore and no longer really benefit him to be promoting. What's the other one schooled? Yeah, it was a spinoff of the Goldbergs. I got to be honest. Maybe I'm out of it.

I've never seen either of those shows, not a second of them. And I don't know anyone who has. I've never met a person who talked about the Goldbergs or schooled. I'm hearing about them for the first time. Yeah. There was an audience for them. I mean, at least the Goldbergs did well. The other two were just spin-off.

or AP bio, some people watch. Rick knows all of this. He's just pretending to make him feel. And Brian's never in on it. And that's a really simple question here about like, what's your type of guy begins a horrible improv that they can't ever get out of? If I was a gay man, I think my type would be a darker, a Latin, Brazilian, something like that.

No mustache, though. Afro-European kind of mix. No mustache. because you said you don't want to make out with a guy with a mustache. Yeah, I'm not a fan of hair on anywhere, especially in my mouth. Okay. What do you do when you're eating hair? Well, so that's the problem is I can't do it.

How do you get your protein? Well, there we go. Okay. So it starts off with if I was a gay man, the type of guy, and then this turns into this protein conversation. And this is where Brian Kahn is just got to. pull the rip cord. Just just get out of there, man. Because Rick just forces him to sit in the stink that he's created. It starts with us. How do you get your protein? Well, so typically when you slay an animal in the wild, which I've done. When you're you go hunting for? Yeah, I slay. I like to I like to hunt the way my ancestors did. So I don't use a gun. I think it's cowardly.

I use a sling or I tend to stalk with a blade. That was it. That laugh right there. Yeah. He's been big time, he's been giving him nothing the whole time. He lets out that little laugh and that's how that's all he needed to be like, okay, here we go. I am in. Rick lets him go.

Brian does this thing too where you can tell he's being funny because he starts doing an accent. Oh. Oh, this is your improv bit. You don't actually hunt with a blade. but now you're doing your little improv bit. Well, all right, let's hear more about that. Do it for food. I do it for life.

I do it to take the animal spirit into my breast. And I like to eat the animal there in the field. I dress it and I take it into my system because I can feel it. I can feel it spirit. No. What I like to do is chase an animal for a while. Do you have any video of this? I do.

I like to watch the animal's adrenaline. I get it spiked. So Rick's not amused by this at all. but he's giving him just as much rope as Brian needs to hang himself. And he's going to sit back and watch it happen. And then I slay the animal at peak, at peak chase. Why do you want the adrenaline in the body? You'd have to feel what it's like when you take that meat in.

It gets saturated with red blood cells. The meat is kind of a fudge-like consistency. Oh, yeah. There's almost no fat. I take it in. Sometimes I carry with me a small jalapeno pepper. Why small? A small bottle of extra virgin olive oil, preferably from Greece or Jerusalem.

It's just laughing at him. Oh, yeah. What I've eaten my fill, I leave it. I leave the animal for the elements or for other animals. I feel like what you're telling me right now is something that you've, I've heard you say before. Not necessarily in that order. Right.

But it does seem like, and pardon me for going right into serious talk. Yeah. But it does seem that you're selling something that you've been selling for a while. And I'm curious if you're still selling it because people are buying or because you're stuck with this thing and you have nothing to do with it. Because Brian, how old are you now? Ouch, ouch. Oh, fucking brutal right there. He's trying to his new prop thing.

He thinks that Rick's going to go along with it. Oh, my God. And they just goes, what are you doing? What are you doing, man? Why are you doing this? You're too old to be in this pageant. Pick up all these fucking batons. He's calling him Jack Lemon in Glengarry Glen Ross.

Yes. Yeah. The machine. He really is. Fuck the machine. Fuck the machine. This guy, it was so masterfully how Rick did that, led him into that, and then just, perfectly dismantled him.

He explained why he doesn't exist as a person or as a performer and then asked the one thing he's the most insecure about. And we got to watch Brian's body language go from this open to as soon as that started. He was like, yeah, his arms folded. He's looking at him. He's braced now. He's ready for war. And it only gets so much worse.

Brian's so insecure about his age. If you remember last year, the reason why he was moving to Austin, and he had to get out of L.A., is because the comedy scene is passing him by. It's all these young comics at the mothership at Joe Rogan's Place in Austin. That's the new scene. I got to be there with my fellow comedians doing comedy. People are into funny now. It's weird.

Yeah. So he's so concerned about this because he's, what, 59, almost 60 years old. and he feels that people are passing him by. He's a little bit out of touch. And so I love that Rick really hones in on this. Homes in on this? Hone? Fuck.

You have nothing to do with it. Because, Brian, how old do you know? So I'm, I'm, you mean, like in biological terms or, okay. What do you mean? So show business, what do I play? I play, I can play anywhere from 30 to, 40s. You think you could play 30?

I don't know. You think you could play what I play? I think with what's called a soft filter. Right. Yeah. Yeah. Especially if I had a glassman wig on. You know what I mean?

A lot of what holds me back is, yeah. So a lot of that thank you. Can't believe that you have that. He wasn't expecting that. Yeah. Oh, you did a wig to look younger? Here you go. Try it out.

You want to dance? We'll put on some music. Go ahead. Sure, yeah, let's see what happens. So he puts on the wig, and it looks like in post, they might have done something with Brian's face. Did you get that sense, Adam? Because maybe, or maybe he's just, he looks that young when he has hair. He does look younger with the hair on.

I've lost a lot of hair. But I want to, I want you to pay attention. Well, I have. I have. I've looked into it. I'm sure money isn't an issue for you. No, I make a fortune. But look, I want you to watch now what happens to my face.

watch what happens to my face. There's definitely a filter. You see how he's called in that crazy? Yeah. I don't know about 30, but 40 or 50. You could play 40. Yeah. If you had her like that.

All right. All right. He thinks he's riffing. He thinks they're just going back and forth and they are, but he's going down. So Brian tries to go back to his bit. And that's what happens when you live essentially on wild game. and you treat yourself to half a yam when you've earned it. That's the only carbohydrate you eat is a half a yam sometimes.

I'll have some berries sometimes and a handful of pecans. You don't get to restaurants? No. Earlier today, you said that you were having dinner with James of the Magic Mind Corporation. Right. I love it, dude. I'm going to have dinner with him tonight. You're welcome to join.

I'm actually having dinner with a couple of my friends or I would. Okay. He invited you. He loves you. I'm getting in line. Are you going, are you hunting and cooking for him? Yes. That's the longest breath I've ever heard of the podcast.

Are you going back to this bit again? Cool, man. So you're going to go hunting with the guy from Magic Mine? Yeah. Yeah, Rick. I am. Let's get back to the yes and over here. Thanks for that. I don't know why he's choosing to paint himself like this. Like Rick has him. They're doing a bit, but the invite to dinner was real when he said, do you not eat at restaurants? And he said, no, that was a bit. You can just do the

bit. He just either lost his fastball, has no ideas comedically, or it's just so deeply insecure, he can't recover from any kind of insult. Well, I think you said when we were watching the clips previously from the fighter and the kid. Like Brian's playing a character and he's not sure if he's the character or not. Yes. He's lost himself. Whoever said that it's brilliant because that's right. I think you said it, Adam.

Perfect. Very smart of you. Very brilliant. I think for this podcast, I would like to see that so I could film it so we could put it in. I could reschedule with my friends and maybe I'll come with you guys. Right. Yes. There's not a lot of, so one of the things about hunting for me is I almost always ride alone, right? When I say ride, I just mean I'm usually alone

because it's hard to bring somebody who doesn't understand how to walk without breaking a twig under their feet. Yeah. Right? And you give off a certain scent. So it's going to be hard for me to close distance on an animal. So you hunt the animal. What do you think you're going to catch today?

So in this case, I'm going to catch some shellfish down in Malibu. Yeah. Oh, so you're going Shucks and where are the twigs that you're afraid of them hearing? It's a good question I don't know why Brian came back to this And I love that Rick is pressing about it

Like oh okay you're going back to your hunter bit Then let's let's explore that man Let's go I want to video you hunting I want to see what this is like The day in the life While smiling at him every avenue Brian goes down Rick goes no

No, no just slaps his hand He's dead Yeah so Kailin's just not prepared for this at all. It's a good question. There is a lot of driftwood on the beach. So that the seafood hears when you're walking on the beach. I can walk on a beach and not step on the well, I mean, I'm not just, I mean, sometimes it's funny. People fish. I love spear fishing. I love to get in there with a sharp stick and just, you know. Cool. I would love to get some video of that. Yeah. I would love you to do that too. But you know, it requires a certain kind of camera.

What do we need? Just waterproof. situation. I have waterproof cameras. Do you? Yeah. Oh. That sucks. I think you're going to say that. This one got away from him. I don't know why Brian just says, okay, listen, man, I'm just fucking around.

I don't want it's fine. Rick's like, what? Yeah. Or he can just make up a scenario where he's not a lying asshole. It's up to him. He can just say whatever he wants. He could have. Now we get back to his like, you know, his edgy, takes on society such as the morning routine.

You know, I don't, I'm tired of, so your morning routine is, is all these things that optimize your biology. How about reading a novel? That's, that's sometimes, and smoking a cigarette. Well, sometimes that's people's evening routine. Yeah. Maybe not in the morning. But you know what I'm saying.

Wait, wait a riff. Yeah, good stuff. Yeah, that's edgy, man. Wake up and smoke a cigarette. That's a good morning routine. read a novel while the kids are hungry. It's not going to ruin this thing. So when people are waking up and they're not smoking cigarettes and they're not reading a novel,

I'm not thinking, why aren't you smoking and reading a novel? Marry who you want to marry. Just don't shit in my toilet. I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about this culture that never has us reaching beyond ourselves. You have no idea what you're talking about and you've never been asked to follow up question on this before. Yeah.

What the fuck? So, okay. Yeah. So, because smoking's bad. So he's just like, how come no one ever says he should have a cigarette in the morning? Like,

good stuff, right? Real edgy. And when asked, what does that mean if I want to apply it to my life? He has nothing. Yeah. It's got nothing for it.

Um, so this is kind of funny because, uh, Brian's like trying to agree, he's decided like, okay, let me just play along with this guy's game here. I'll just nod my head. And maybe that'll make this all go away and fix this conversation.

Yeah, you might be right. Yeah, I think that's a thing. That's a very good point. That's a wise point. It may have always been thus. I understood everything but the last word. I like to speak in, you know, medieval terminology sometimes. Yeah, it seems like, because I remember you said you like spear fishing, but I didn't realize that your hands weren't steady.

I tend to. Shakespeare. It's really good. Aren't you only supposed to butt your knuckles like that when you see a pretty person? Or when somebody hits me with a pun that I wish I had written, and then they humble me and I go, Are you? All right. Can we start over?

Yeah. Seriously. It is just body blow. Yeah, he's getting big leagueed here. Another thing with Brian, he doesn't know who he wants to be. He knows people on the internet make fun of them. He knows people make one of his co-host, Brendan Schaub. He wants to be a guy's guy.

But he also wants to make sure that the liberals in Hollywood still love him and his liberal comedian friends. So he gets very confused. And I think there's something wrong with that, which is this hyper consumerism versus... Reading about the opera. Yeah. It sounds like you want to make both the world and America. dare I say. Yeah.

Great again. Generous again. What's the difference? It's still MAGA. Make America generous again. Yeah. Do I sound like a liberal? Are you not liberal?

I'm liberal. I think you are. I think you're liberal in a conservative body. Whatever you need me to be, man. Yeah. Just get off my back. Yeah. I don't know.

What do you want me to be? I'm that thing. He doesn't let him get a breath out. without just another uppercut. It's just relentless. It's very fun. So then Brian,

like I talked about earlier, he came on the fire in the kid and complained about people were panning his comedy special. And so he brings that up with Rick Glassford. Rick's response to this is so brilliant. It's actually very impressive. You're,

you know, what we're in the business of doing, I love how comedians get hate. It's hilarious with these losers that, money off of whatever they can do because I'm not I know that because Reddit and Fighter and the Kid that's a serious I don't get any hate no you don't get hate but I mean I'm saying

you'll see you'll see it's so funny yeah us comics are always getting hated on by the internet and it doesn't happen to me at all no no I know not you I'm obviously just me but it's very funny that he said that hey but I mean I'm saying you'll see you'll see there's just there's a there's a subset of people on the internet that The point I'm making is that comics spend all their time just trying to make people laugh. Oh, here we go. Oh, he's so sensitive on this. And he refused to wear, Brian refused to wear the headphones.

So he doesn't hear when Rick just mumbles things into the mic like, everyone loves me. So it's just for us. And if you look at the comments on this video, there's like a hundred, Rick is an insufferable, you know, anything you can imagine. Of course he gets hate. Of course he does. Brian just has to He's like, no, that's just you and Brendan, man. I don't know to tell you.

Oh, of course. Okay. I didn't realize. So, yeah, this whole thing where Brian's showing how sensitive he is about people making fun of his special was a really bad move. And I remember when he talked about it on the fighting in the kid and whoever that third wheel is was just like, ah, you know, sometimes they're funny, whatever cares. And it's like, oh, yeah, yeah, I should talk about sensitive I have about this because

that it's going to happen more off. And Brian forgot about that. But he does have the resume that he should not be getting clowned on the internet. When I'm on the street and I'm a certain age, I get people that are, they, they grew up with me. They've watched a lot of stuff. Sex in the city. All of it. They just go like this.

They go, they just go, that's an OG. That's like you get respect. You called Mr. Callen sometimes. It's hilarious. You're a coach in AP Bio. He's coaching in the Goldbergs. Okay. What was the spinoff?

Schooled. Did you make more money in school than in AP bio? Yeah. It's so disrespectful. Brian's just like, I get recognized at the street, man. People think they've grown up with me. He's like, yeah, what show was that again? Your AP bio or something like that.

Get so serious. I know. Brian can't like bust the balls back or anything like that. He's just like, no, man. It was Goldberg. I told you that. You know that. Original cast member.

Come on, man. You know that. But he says people come up to him and say they grew up with him. And Rick goes, oh, like sex in the city? Yeah. Kids grew up watching. What are you talking about? He's a comic who had really great success in Hollywood.

And it has completely changed his DNA, his way of thinking, his personality. He believes he's better than everyone else and has nothing left to prove because he won a contest and thinks he's just going to ride off that forever. And any one that. that asks him to just do or be anything. He doesn't even know how anymore. He just knows how to be Mr. Callen to a PA. Yeah, he seems a little bit lost. And when Rick starts asking him how much money he made,

I thought that this was, it seems like it hurt Brian pretty bad where he goes with us. It's devastating. I mean schooled in AP Bio? Yeah. Because you were one of the main guys or because just you like your rate got higher with that network. Yeah, well, it's just it was a spinoff.

of the character. Did you get more than 150,000 an episode? No. Did you get more than 100,000 episode? No. Did you make 100,000 an episode? No, a little less than that. I think 75. I can't remember. And then do you had to pay your agent and manager or do you not have those? I had an agent. That was it. And a lawyer? No. So you, I've always run. So 675 is what you walked away with. Yeah. And then there's taxes and all right. Yeah. So per episode, you're probably walking away with you're netting around 40. Probably. How many episodes?

I think I would have to look. One season, two seasons? I think we did one season. 13? This is getting so serious. I would think at one point, Brian would be like, I don't know, man. Who cares?

You know, what's the difference? He's answering every question. Yeah. No, you just stop it. It's great. Really? Yeah, I think so. Was it two?

So that's $880,000 net. What did you do with that money? Put it in my house. Like in your closet or you bought new cupboards? I put it toward the mortgage. Toward all of it. Yeah. So it's not paid off.

Your house, you owed more than $880,000 at the time. Yeah. Yeah. But I put a lot in. How much does your house cost? I bought my house for back in the day I was making a lot of money and I paid a little, it was too expensive. I overstretched.

3.5? No. 2.9? 28, I think. Where? Santa Monica. Do you still have that house? My ex does.

Gave that to. Remind me the name of the show? Schooled. Goldbergs. Schools. Yeah. Is there some type of irony that all the money from schooled went to somebody who schooled you?

I don't. Your hands are shaking. I don't look at it that way. I don't know what you're talking about, dude. Shakespeare. Just the tragedy in comedy. Yeah, it's good. It's very good.

have you done any hunting that was a threat by the way yeah Brian trying to get the call back going done any hunting no he's trying to get him alone so he can have his way with him that was he took

his greatest achievement in life something very few people can say they've achieved in Hollywood he had a huge recurring role on a hit show that spun off made him a series regular and then ran like that's enough to retire on and go well my entire career is validated.

I can do whatever I want. And it took Rick about a couple minutes to turn all of that into his biggest, most embarrassing failure. It's hilarious. Well done. I'm sure Brian's happy he went out of this show. It had been three years since he'd done it. So I was really excited to be back with his money, Rick, out here.

All right, where are we going next? This is where he tries to bring the conversation back to that weird man stuff. He's trying to, you know, develop a new character. in. Okay. Strength is measured with different metrics. As men, we tend to measure strength with one metric. Sorry.

But that's because I'm asserting dominance. Aren't you trying to change? I am. Thank you. For those just listening, Brian had his leg spread very wide, and Rick suggested very subtly that he closed them, and Brian hopped to it, like a good little boy. Yes. Well, Brian's had some issues when it comes to his behavior in Hollywood.

I think we've heard about that from people who know him on this show. So Earl Skakel was on not too long ago talking about that. So Brian's got to tiptoe around this line of being a man's man. And, you know, because he did pretty much get canceled. He was off the fire than the kid for a while after he got M-Tude. Or how about turn the other kids? cheek. How about love your enemy? How about forgiveness? How about a mother, a single mother, working with three working three jobs? That's strong, right? And so there are certain things that

we forget about. So you have to measure a mother who is not single, but she's the provider, and the father tends to the children at home, and she's still working three jobs. Yeah, the father's a pussy. It depends on how you measure strength. Because wouldn't you say a homemaker, somebody who takes care of three kids, make sure they get up in the morning. Yes. Somebody with four kids, I can tell you.

So do you think women are a woman? Do you think women are pussy? No, I'm joking. No. When I always laugh when, if you don't see how hard it is, like so my wife now has a two-year-old and a four-year-old. Those are my children.

Oh, Jesus. Yeah. Does, how can Brian not get out of like the, like, why, how can he not keep it light and fun with this guy? Why is it? He gets so bogged down.

in seriousness with these questions. Because he doesn't believe any of it. And he can't have a serious discussion. It's so performative. Like, what about the hard working women? And he couldn't even say the word, Poposi. Like, he had to, like, stumble over it.

And not, like, I'm going to say it, but I'm going to whisper it. And it's like, you're a politician trying to win us over with no platform that you believe in. So any file of question, you just crumble. And he really expects to be, like, applauded for saying. this. His ideas are like a Republican in the 90s first learning about things. He thinks because

he's okay with gay marriage publicly that he's like a liberal Republican. He has no idea where the world is at and completely at a touch. And he tries to big time, Rick here, and completely fails at it. Of course, I would love to have $1.25 million. Right. They're not going to pay that. Do you want me to wait until you're done with that? No, I'm listening. But I'm going to, let me rephrase. I'm going to wait until you're done being on your phone. Well, because I want to see how old Rick Glassman is. And it's very convenient that my phone isn't working here. It's funny because you just got two phone calls. So what did you see that's making you feel like it's not working now?

Well, no, I, my calls go to get off Wi-Buy and be on cellular. In fact, you're not on the Wi-Fi, so it should work. Well, it's not. I'm asking how old Wick-Classman is. Okay. Can I tell you the story? I spelled it Wick Glassman. Yeah, go ahead. I love that he stopped. As soon as he's looking at his phone, like, I'll wait for you to be done. I always find that so disrespectful when you're talking to someone.

They just, yeah, okay. Oh, I'm listening. Yep, no, you're not. He's like, it's cool. I'm just looking up your age. Yeah. Oh, okay, please keep going. Here's another body blow from Rick.

The observations that I've learned. Mm-hmm. So your phone is working. Yeah. So you probably saw my age and you didn't want to admit that you were wrong. Whatever. I have learned, so if I were to be

don't do anything, don't speak, don't breathe. Professional comedian. Yep. All right. So this is where it's over for Mr. Callum. Yeah, you have an interesting relationship with mustaches, though.

Well, you're one of the few people that can pull one off. It's my Donald Trump. Wow. So your phone works. Well, I don't know why the chat GBT acting. Huh. Yeah, this is really weird. Says you're 29. Okay.

So Rick's just not putting up with any of the shit. I was just calling about it. But he's supposed to have a comeback. He's choosing to lose this. He can just, he hosts a weekly improv show. He just sat there muttering with no words coming out of his mouth. if he wasn't a professional improv. Yeah.

Yeah, it's wild. This next one just ties it all back in and shows you after he's been grilling him about his age for the entire episode. Here's where he thinks he's at, Brian. Do you feel that youth is something worth chasing? No. Oh, no. Very good.

Yep. So, all right. So you're exciting conclusion from this. Rick Glassman's a handsome guy. I think we can all agree that his look and just that's where I think handsome is at. I think Brian has been in Hollywood too long. And I think he's been sheltered. I think he needs to stop fighting for TV gigs.

And I think he needs to either do a stand-up or do his own podcast thing or do some ayahuasca and leave us alone. Well, it's funny you say that because pencil-necked, remember for one month says, who is this Adam clone interviewing Brian Callan? He's a devil. Dabble Tim. I was worried you were going to trash Glassman, but this is wonderful. Rick is so funny in small doses.

Thanks, Adam. Yes, thanks, Adam. Let's talk about my buddy who hasn't been good in a very long time. Greg Hughes. The op-bub-bba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba. The opster was just up in Boston. He claims with the family.

He claims the wife and kids are with him in Boston. And he can't really... Code for something. It might be code for something. He can't wait to tell his buddy Ron, who you guys might not know, is from Boston. Did you know that? I can't wait to tell his buddy Ron about it. How can you tell?

How do you know? I don't know. I'm making it up. I can't wait to tell Ron about his experience in Boston. And it seems like Opie's fired up about this. He's in a good mood because he actually did something. He went somewhere and he did stuff. Bada.

Oh, I'm bum, bum, bum, oh, I love that dirty water. Boston, you're my home.

That's the only song you guys got up there, Ronnie Babes. Boston, you're my home by the standels, dirty water. And the standals

weren't even from Boston. So why are they singing about Boston being their home? They were from L.A. They were a one-hit band from L.A. Come on now.

That's how magical Boston is. Even if you're not from there, you say you, by the way, I hope you didn't fucking embarrass me. I didn't embarrass me in my hometown. Iran, bad news. Opie definitely embarrassed you in Boston. He was being a big gold goofball on the street like he likes to be. He doesn't blend in like he used to.

No. Opie coming in with the fun facts immediately on this episode. And unfortunately, Opie is. a little bit tired from his travels. Here now, Ronnie Beantown. I just got back from Boston, a little family, not a vacation, a long weekend

in Boston with the wife and the kids. We had a glorious time, Ron, but I am tired. I got home at 8 o'clock last night. And I don't know if you know this, but that Boston is a walking city. My God! Guys, Opie's tired.

He didn't get home until 8 o'clock last night. Jesus, why are you even up to doing the show that? Holy shit. He didn't get into late. And he's thrown off from not used to being in a walking city? Yeah, doesn't he live in Manhattan? That's right.

Okay. It's talking about. What's so annoying about Opie is he's like a little kid who's just learning things for the first time. They can't wait to tell you what they learned at school. So Opie was on this historical sightseeing tour. because of course he was. That's what you do when you go to Boston, right? That's why he said it wasn't a vacation.

Maybe. But he can't- Teenage kids love that. Sometimes you've got to do it just for them. Right. Yes, I'm sure the kids love that. And he can't wait to tell Ron, this new fun fact that he learned while on this sightseeing tour.

By the way, do you know, I'm going to teach you something about your hometown of Boston, Ron? You know that Paul Revere, right? He was on his horse screaming and yelling, the British are coming, the British are coming. right. Guess what? He never said the British are coming because we were all Brits back then. We were loyalists and patriots. That's what we were. We weren't Americans yet. So Paul Revea on his horse saying the British are coming, the British are coming. That never happened.

That never happened because we were all British at that point. Do you understand, Ron? That was a lie. That was fake news according to the lady that was in charge of the duct tour that we were on. We did the duck boat. Are you all right? Are you choking in the middle of my Paul Revere rant? Oh, they're too dry. What are you eating? They're too dry.

So Opie is so excited about this information. You know he didn't say the British are coming? Like some woman who was given a historical sightseeing to her told you that? That's his show prep. Now he knows everything about Paul Revere. It's amazing. And Ron's so bored. He's just eating snacks while this is happening.

What happened to you, Ron? Come on. We used to be on your side. And now you're just eating snacks during the show. But it really was like a naked gun style bit where Ron was about to choke and die. And Opie was not going to acknowledge it until he was done with his fun fact. His tongue is coming out of his mom. Obey's just like, come on, Ron.

Don't you like my Paul Revere's story? So thankfully, Ron's like, can we talk about anything else? Like the fact that my crackers are too dry. We talk about anything? And Opie goes, nope. Listen to me, I'm teaching you about Paul Rivia. So when he did his famous ride and he was yelling and screaming, the British are coming, the British are coming, right?

Guess what? Guess what? He didn't say that because we're all British at that point. Also, he wasn't the only guy. He was one of 38 guys that were warning the Patriots slash loyalists that the British Army was coming. Jesus, you already told us that, Opie. Do you think he couldn't hear because he was choking?

Ron is giving him every human signal possible that he's not interested in what he's saying. What is wrong with his idiot that he felt he had the need to repeat that story again? And he's so excited about having like new knowledge. Just what else I learned about Paul Rivier. I don't know, man. He wasn't even famous for 90 years. No one gave a shit about Paul Revere. And then that guy wrote that poem, that poem about Paul Revere.

And the next thing you know, everyone made Paul Revere famous. He became famous 90 years after the fact. Boring. I mean, Jesus Christ, what the fuck is he going out about? You know, if Opie likes learning stuff, he can do this every day. He doesn't have to go to Boston and go out of tour if he wants to learn things. Are we really witnessing a man so insecure that he's threatened by Paul Revere's fame? Yes.

I'm more famous than Paul Revere was. All right, Opie. Yes, you are. Very good. One if by land is so boring. So, Opie starts off this show so excited. Like a little kid, just learned some facts. Can't wait to tell Ron.

Ron could give a shit. He's not giving Opie anything in return. But then Ron goes. Fine. We're going to talk about fucking Paul Revere shit. I got a fun fact for you. And watch how Opie responds. Here's a little fact for you. Revere Beach in Massachusetts is the oldest.

First public beach in America. Oh, that's just amazing, Ron. That's absolutely amazing. Massachusetts, the spirit of America. Oh, Opie, I get it. It is boring. But what the fuck? You were just telling us about how, what, Paul Revereux?

was yelling from the horse. Hypocrite. Seriously. It's like, God, Ron, you're so fucking boring with this shit. It's like the Thomas Edison episode of The Simpsons. Well, I was thinking of that. We all were. You knew that no matter what Ron said,

it was going to end with Opie saying that. We've been polite long enough. But it's so funny, it's just like, fuck you. Fuck you, Ron. I don't want to hear about your fun facts. I have fun facts. Babel, babble. So Opie made a video when he was at a cemetery in Boston.

And he is so excited about this video. They say, hey, put your Hancock down. Oh, dude, my John Hancock video is set in the world on fire. Would you like to see it real fast? Because that was also in the graveyard. I lived it. I didn't see it. I lived it.

I'm from there. All right. But this was also in the graveyard. I did a quick video of the John Hancock. Uh, uh, uh, uh, Opie thinks this video is fire. And I played it yesterday on our bonus show with blind Mike, because I just happened to be checking out Opie's TikTok,

which I don't normally do. But on who are these socials? I would check in on that quite a bit. And so I saw this video that he posted, and I didn't get it. I played this for Mike. He explained it to me, but this is the video that Opie says is crushing it and on fire right now. And, uh, let's see if I can pull.

play fucking tic-tok and actually have audio that'd be cool okay i'm in boston looking at graves and this guy signed the declaration of independence it's john hancock and it says this memorial erected why does it look like that there's there's where john hancock is very someone has a subject all right let's go okay

so I didn't find the humor in that blind Mike who's blind it's like it's because it's cock in his day

it's like oh I guess okay Opie thinks that that was like the greatest video anyone's ever made yeah

so he pulls it up on the show to show Ron set in the world of fire Yeah, it is. And watch Opie crack up at himself. John Hancock is buried. Someone has a sense of humor.

All right, let's go. Dude, come on. Why is his monument shaped like a dick? There's no other way to look at that. It even has a fucking mushroom head. Opie's a child. He's watching himself go, look at this fucking thing.

like a dick. He's like, he's laughing along with himself. I'm good. Is his family with him? No, they're not. That's the question I had. He's like, I want my family to Boston. And then he's making videos where he's walking around by himself. I didn't hear any noise in the background.

I didn't hear any come on, dad. I didn't even hear any walking. And why did he pick Jimmy Hendrix instead of Joe Cocker? Oh, Jesus Christ. Why voodoo child? Yeah, why? You really dropped the ball on that one. Good call, Adam.

That would have also been. on funny. Correct. Any sort of cock rock would work. And then blind might have explained that to me too. Cocker has the cock in it. Oh, right.

Oh, this makes some of sense. The little help for my friends is a reference. All right. So, Opie, because he was in Boston, is so proud of himself with his Boston accent. And he uses the word over and over again. He's like looking for Ron's approval

or something. I don't know what he needs from Ron. It's very, very touristy. We had some lobster, some lobster rolls. The lobster was good from wicked lobster. Ow, I just bit my lip. Yeah, stop trying to talk like a boy. You can't even do you.

You beat yourself trying to sound like a fucking Bostonian. I'm not trying to sound like a Bostonian. I'm just so tired. So when you're tired, you kind of sound like you're from Boston. And I also have, what? Do you know whenever you're tired, you sound like you're from Boston. Boston. And explaining it makes it funny.

But he just kept saying lobster. Lobster. Like that was going to get funnier eventually. Opie's not great at this. Also, I think that Opie's gross. He talked about, you know, we're getting close to Hampton's season. He goes to the beach house. And he talked about last year, he will not be wearing shoes for three months.

There will be no grooming on toenails. It's going to get gnarly down there. He can't wait. and he comes back and tells Ron this. And I also have just epic athlete's foot right now. On both feet, I've been itching all morning and just ripping layers of skin away

in between my toes. It feels glorious. What is it about athlete's foot that feels so damn good when you it, Ron? Even Ron, who is a disgusting human being? What the fuck is wrong with you, man? Who's shown his feet?

I know. It's not great. And Opie's going, oh, it's awesome. I have an athlete's foot and I get to scratch you my toes. Rod's just like, why are you scratching between your toes, man? Get treatment for that. What are you doing? I'm almost positive that Ron has been intimate more often and more recently than Opie has in the last five years because that shouldn't feel that good. Right. You might be on to something. Now, I don't know if I choose Ron, but I know what you mean. speaking of intimate with Ron I would love to see what his DMs

look like because he describes some of his DMs from time and time it seems wild I think we you know what from some of the DMs I'm getting I think we we have a little bit of following of the gay community gay men seem to enjoy the Ronnie I'm sure they do Ron Adam

do you want to mess up to anything right now just one that I know people are hitting out of rock guys are hitting out of Ron in his dabs you must have a lot of fun with that um this is what we've all been asking for i believe adam's been talking about this for quite some time ever since the first uh what was the thing called where obi was going to give all the super chat money to ronica ronica ever since the first ronica well you're a gay icon ron you're you're like shia you and shia uh wouldn't it be great if ron had a Venmo for us to give him money directly.

I've been, I don't, you know what, 18, 21, I don't know what to tell you. I've been, okay, great question. Why doesn't Ron have a Venmo that we can donate to him directly? Let's find out. Brian that these people want to give him money directly and he just doesn't know how to set up. I was going to do it today, but guess what I'm doing today? What are you doing today? Oh, it's Coney Island, baby.

It's fucking going to be 95 in New York City. I am going to Coney Island. What? He casts up a Venmo because he's going to a place? How long could it possibly take? I don't understand. Well, there's a reason why. He doesn't have a bank account.

That's right. Because that's the thing. It's like you could do that on your app. You could set it up on the app while you're on the train going to Coney Island. That's not terrible. Plenty of times. Yeah, yeah. But Ron can't got his own way for some reason.

I have a feeling. I think Adam feels this way too. They've had a little conversation in the background saying like, yeah, you're not promoting a Venmo on my program. You know, the only reason... The money going to him. Yeah. And the only reason this validates that is that all week long,

myself and many other people have been paying him to ask him, what did you think of Ron stand-up set in Astoria? And he won't even put them up. That's crazy. But this he puts up. Right. Yeah. That's crazy.

It's weird. Opie, you pulled a couple of clips from this episode as well. And Opie needs fame. He craves it. He misses it so much. This is where I get myself in trouble because, like, no one else would admit this shit. But I like giving you the real shit. Walk by this guy and he goes, hey, how do I know you?

Right. And I could have kept walking or I could have said, I don't know, I don't know. And just kept walking, right? Oh, I was thirsty, Ron. I stopped right away and I went, I don't know, maybe from Opian Anthony. Yeah, Opin Anthony. I was thirsty.

You were praying. You were praying. I was thirsty. I'm not going to lie to you. A little thirsty for a little that old school fame. Opiey, you know what have been hilarious. Yeah. Oh, from opening.

I like Eric Dayw who says this didn't happen. That is a weird thing to be like, how do I know you? That's a odd question for someone to ask. But do you think Opie has some regrets in life? If only I'd ridden that horse, I'd be famous. He misses the good old days. We need the big chair, the big seat. Everyone was kissing his ass, and he's got none of that now.

He also doesn't know what a humble brag is. He completely thinks he's coming off like, I'm embarrassing myself. John does this all the time. This is such an embarrassing story of when I got recognized. And it's like someone taught him the word thirsty, so we had to get that in there like 20 times. Yes. None of this happened.

Eric's right. Ron's got some solid advice for the Opster. Wellesley, Massachusetts. How many times do I tell you, stop trying to force yourself to be funny? You see what you see you try to be funny and you got yourself in trouble. No, no. I had people laughing all over Boston, all over Boston. Yeah, I did, right.

I did. My John Hancock video, people like, that's hilarious. You and the Trumpster making fun of the handicaps. Who the fuck said that that John Hancock video was hilarious? I'll come to their house. I'll teach them a Watson right now. Who calls them the handicaps? That's bullshit.

I had people laughing all over Boston. Yeah, he's like the Pied Piper. Everywhere he went, people just followed and laughed. Oh, good. Opie's here to point at Asian people. Yay. I think I recognize that guy from radio. Right.

Don't I know you from audio signals, right? You pulled some clips. I think we played this on WTP on Saturday, but I know that you had pointed it out to me when we were doing a show recently that there was a super chat referencing producer Chris. Yes. Oh, yeah. And this is the first time that gets referenced. There's a second time after this.

Matt, the W. Daniels. F. you fraud at Opie's Sabres curse. Opie's a fake Sabres fan, not like producer Chris. A real Sabres fan. Ronnie. Get the hell out of there. Ronnie. Can someone get this guy

hooked on phonics? I mean, Matt, you spent $20. You would think you would... Hold on. You say, are you idiot? Hold on one second, man. By the way, that name is Matthew or Daniels. Oh, yeah.

All right. That was... What the fuck? Matthew, me... Dude, I was waiting. And we're saying he needs hooked on phonics. Maybe the host of the show. Yeah.

You had a hard time with that one. I don't like, I not see that's Matthew. Oh, Daniels. Matthew, Daniels. Well, I know. You got to read it like an Irishman. F.U. Friday, Opie.

Sabers curse. Opie is fake Sabers fan. Not like you. You don't know how to say O'Donels. You're going up to Boston. All right. Ronnie. Get the hell out, Ronnie.

All right. Let's love you. There's so much going on in this horrendous, this horrendous super chat. Guy wasted $20.20. If you Friday, Sabers, Curse. Opies a fake Sabers fan. First of all, I'm not a Sabres fan. Never had said I was an actual Sabres fan.

I don't think. I followed them when I lived in Buffalo for three years. When you live in a city for a while, you kind of pay attention to the sports teams. But I couldn't tell you, I don't even think I can name three Sabres right now. So I don't know. That's a lie. One of these brags. I was a buffalo for three years.

I can't name three sabers. Jesus. What else? And Ronnie, get the hell out. Ronnie's going nowhere. You can try all you want. Ronnie's going nowhere. Who's producer Chris?

I don't know. That's the other thing. 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? All right. How would you not? And Tony Pee, I think.

I think Tony P actually is out of the loop on this. Yeah. Has he ever put into the YouTube search engine opi radio? Would you be curious at all to find out what would show up if he searched on opi radio? You know how people had a hard time if they weren't already involved getting into the quartering scandal that's happening now? It's just a lot of words that don't perform the way you expect them to. A lot of names you've never heard of that shouldn't be names that are like verbs and shows upon

shows and it's not that. It's the one they guessed it on. It's just hard sometimes to get into that. I have a feeling for people of Tony's age and of his style. They see all that and they just don't know what it is. They can't figure it out. Like Opie in that last chat, he's like something bad's in there. I don't know where. I'm sure if he'll figure it out. I totally disagree with you, Adam, because Tony P. wants so badly to be famous. I think that any show that's showing him on the screen would be one that he'd be endlessly fascinated by. So you think he knows who producer Chris is? I don't think he does. And I'll tell you why I don't think he does. He should.

Right. I don't think he does because he brings up producer Chris later on in the show. We didn't play this clip before. And he really thinks that like, yeah, they're just throwing out names like producer Chris. Who the fuck knows who that is? Some dude is trying to give us a $1.99 to do a dumb chip thing. Now, I keep McPuffet's $50. You want to do your dumb chip. thing. It's going to cost you more than $99 to get on the big screen. Chip? You don't want to know Chip. Yes, they do.

Opie, provide some context. Chip Chipperson rules. This whole thing is not interested in Jim Norton. Right. Yeah. Why would they want to know Chip Chipperson? And I love that Ron's so fucking out of it. Tony P doesn't know what's going on.

These are people that Opie can deal with. People who don't know anything about Chip Chipperson. What hasn't Ron done on screen yet? He's got chapsick out. And I was thinking he has the. discipline to sit in front of the camera when he's not putting his nose into it. He's the one putting the buffet of food out for him. Right.

It's so obnoxious. It's the worst. It's garbage. Complete garbage. Maybe producer Chris knows. Yeah, who the fuck's produced a Chris? I'm going to give you an assignment. These people got stuff in their heads and they're just convinced everyone else knows.

Opie, I'm going to give. Yeah. And don't look it up. Don't try to figure out who producer Chris is. don't ask chat GPT. You don't want to know. It's stupid. Same with Chip.

You don't even want to know. It's dumb. Well, Opie knows. He knows exactly who that is. He knows who producer Chris is. Nobody responds like that. Ron definitely does, obviously. I've reached out to Ron.

He knows who I am. Right. And so. So then if what you said is true, then Tony does know. He does know. And he's signaling to us right now. Do you think he is?

It's one or the other. I can't believe he's looked it up and not figured it out. And if he really is in it for himself, then he's saying, yeah, hey, if you support me, I'll be your guy. Interesting. Yeah, the way I read that, the way that came off to me,

where he's trying to be Opie's buddy, where it's just like, I don't know who Chip is. Like, yeah, maybe producer Chris can tell you who Chip is. Oh, yeah, I think he's absurd characters and no one's ever heard of. I think he's telling Opie what he wants to hear. Yeah. But the reason he's bringing it back up,

if he's watching it, is because he knows. I think that guy can't focus on. It's the green font is too bright for him. It's all so distracting. Every fucking person watching Opie show knows who Chip and producer Chris are. Except one of the hosts. Except one of those I mean. That's so insane about that.

All right. This morning's episode you checked in on. And wow, big news came out. I might have to, I don't know, humble myself with what I learned today. because Matt, owner of Gebhardt, gets brought up. And Ron brings him up, and then Opie makes a comment here. You've had a toothache. You pulled out your teeth at Gephardt.

Let me just, excuse me, you've seen it. I've done it to you in person. I pulled my own fucking tooth out. By the way, you know, in Facebook memories, that just came up recently. Oh, really? I'll have to repost that. I didn't post it because I saw Matt's face in the background.

Not like shit, relax. Yeah, he loves me. Matt, Matt's a big fan. By the way, hold on. Yes. Rest in peace, Matt. He's dead to Opie. If I'm not mistaken, that's, uh,

Mattie-oh. His buddy, Matt, the owner of Gebbhardz, is now dead to Opie. And I pointed out that Emily was putting out these rumors that Opie was done with Gebhards or they were done with him and he was kicked out and I said Emily's an idiot she doesn't know what she's talking about I guess I'm the idiot because there's proof right there that Opie and Matt had a falling out and he is no longer allowed at Gebhards or at least they don't want him podcasting there I would imagine yeah anymore what Emily called it first because of her

conversations with Opie right because Opie told her directly that he didn't like their road sodas they water down the drinks He said rest in peace to Matt. Yeah. That's pretty wild, isn't it? Did you catch this? Who caught this? Someone said it to me.

Yeah, that's so impressive because I listened to this twice this morning and did not catch that. I can't believe you missed it. Yeah. Somebody posted it somewhere. I saw it and I was like, Anna, you're listening to the show this 40. You've got to pull this clip for me because that's pretty crazy. So yeah, I guess no more shows from Gepardt. That's too bad.

But they're still friends and they'll still talk about him, but he's. dead to Opie. He just wants to say that on the air. Also, that was an interesting thing that Ron said. He was going to repost something that came up on his time hop but he didn't because Matt was in the photo. Is that actually dead?

Maybe. And it's too sad? I hope not. Maybe. As if Matt would be like, hey man, I said no more posting photos on me on the internet like, he doesn't seem like the kind of guy would be like never show my face anywhere. Like, what was this falling out that they had? I'm sorry. That's

Also, isn't it, wasn't it his boss? He used to work there. Didn't Ronnie? I think he pretended to be a, yeah, server there. We may have gotten that wrong. Yeah, I think he used to go around and like wait on tables as like a goof. I think. I don't know.

I'm certain Emily was right about that before me and spoke to Opie about it, I guess. Imagine. Yeah, let's have Emily on next week. Okay, she could explain all this to us. That'd be great. All right, what else do you want to play from this morning show? Oh, did you see where he opens it with some. real good-natured ribbing towards his buddy Ron.

All right, listen, Chip Chipperston just gave us $2. Good morning, Ron. You're crushing it today. Love you. No, he's not. He's barely hanging on this guy. Yeah, I've been babbling the whole morning. This guy has nothing.

Doing the shows like taking candy from a baby. You have nothing today, Ron. You're at Tony Island. You're watching some dude die, and then on the way home. I'm going to sleep. On the way home, you're drinking your face off trying to forget that your mom's a lesbian and your dad had no legs. I know what you're about, Brad.

I know what you're about. Escalated quickly? Fuck. Not only was that cruel and unusual, but Opie, do you know how much more interesting that story sounds than your fun facts from Boston? Hey, let's get back to what Paul Revere was yelling.

Holy cow. Wow. Opie does not like Ron getting the shine. No, and he also doesn't like when his co-hosts Colin absent. He hates that. Mm-hmm. Yeah. That just set up our next clip so brilliantly if you just would have been.

I suppose you're rich and famous. Your teeth wouldn't be rotting. I have one, two. We all have teeth that something happens. At least I'm not Tony P. I go, Tony, you want to join me and Ron today? This is what he writes me. Doesn't he go through life as the working man, the everyday man, right? Isn't that our friend, Tony Pee? Why is he calling out? I write, you want to join us.

We haven't seen Tony P in a while. And we're heading toward a long weekend. I'm like, you know what? Why don't we pump it up a little bit and get the Tony P on with me and Ron? He goes, I do. But my back has been locked up for the past few days. I don't think I'll be able to sit for that long. And then I go, be a man.

And then he gives me the laughing emoji. and then I had to tell him too. I want to tell the world. I have a two fake. What was funny about that? The guy's like, I figured my back's giving me a lot of problems. I can't sit for an hour. Huh?

He's so out of touch with what a work and a job is that he really believes rich, spoiled man in, you know, skyscraper on the Upper West Side has toothache, makes more sense and deserves more sympathy than hardworking labor. Tony P has a back problem due to his work. Fuck that lazy, spoiled, entitled, fuck, he should be on my show. And him and Ron don't see eye-dye and any of this stuff.

Like, they can't relate to each other. When Opie goes off on these tyrants like that, these tirades, Ron just stares. I'm like, huh? Wait, our friend Tony P. He's got a really bad back problem right now, and I'm supposed to be laughing about that? I don't get it. You're supposed to be a tough working man and you're hurt. That makes no sense.

Oh, Opie, you just don't get it. Yeah, but Opie, he's a tough guy. I got a, I got a two-fake. I got a two-fake. I got a two-fake. My tooth hurts so bad right now. Shut the fuck off. Jesus Christ.

That's how he opened the show. He thought that would bring us all in well. You stupid fucking blabom-mouthed. All right, well, that's what the opster is up to, and we'll keep it high. Keep an eye on that and see what happens. And thank you to Matthew O. Daniels for sending me that super chat that you filmed and sent to me when we needed it. That was very cool. And thank you for Emily for being right again.

Of course. We can all agree that Emily is right as usual. Guys, John Melendez may be gone from the dabalverse. but the archives of his performances on Stephanie Miller's show live on but but but but but but bloody ass can I get a little sympathy because I got a bloody ass John Melendez was

supposed to be the board up for Stephanie Miller's show but he's like I can't figure this out it's too complicated so they just became the comic relief the Jackie chair of the Stephanie Miller program and they do these happy hour shows where they drink. Works out really well for John.

Alonzo Bowden is the guest on this program and this is back in 2016 this went down. So 10 years ago, Stephanie Miller makes a pretty brilliant observation right out of the gate.

You know how John, you make every gay woman that comes in here gayer? Yes. You make every gay woman gayer. Yes, I know. They're already turned off by mad, and now they want to run from them. I get it.

So John starts hitting on Alonzo Bowden for some reason. This is really awkward. I got a Harley Alonzo. Do you? Yeah, you? What the fuck was that? He was doing his, like, like, sexy, like hitting on, like, hitting on. Look at me over here by Harley.

You want to go for a ride sometime on it? Why is he dressed like he escaped from Auschwitz? He's dressed like a Peanuts character. Yes. I'm not quite sure why. I think it's because he was dressing himself at this era. Susander's long gone. Like if Linus escaped from Auschwitz.

There you go. See, we've got a workshop show that we'll figure it out eventually. We should start the show now. And people say the show is scripted. Obviously not. Obviously. John is trying so hard to get Alonzo Bowden to laugh. And you know how John does that.

He says something that's not funny and then cracks himself up. This example right here, you're going to hear him, even when the camera's not showing him, he just continues to laugh and laugh and laugh. It's an old castle. Somebody built. And that's what they used it for. I've done a few movies there. There you go. John knows it.

I don't know why he's looking at me first. Like, oh, yeah. I work there every other way. It's not far from here. It's the other side of the hill. But anyway, do you hear the John's laughing through that whole thing? No one's giving him anything. But he really wants it to be funny.

And when there's comedians on this show, that's when John really wants to shine. He wants to show that he could riff with Alonzo Bowden, that there equals their peers. And also, John, you might notice he's looking pretty good on this episode. I think I'd have already pointed that out. Well, there's a real good. reason for that. You number your Gulf Wars like you number your Bush presidents. But anyway, yes, so I worked on that.

When you say number your bushes, that means something different for a lesbian. Go ahead. I understand. There's something for me every four years. Wow, John, every four years. You're scaring me again. But he spiked up his hair right now, ladies and gentlemen. He has a date tonight and he's all glazed.

I'm all glazed and gelled. He's glowing. He's glowing. Like a family. So, yeah, I worked on those. and he's so disgusting. If you're wondering why John looks so hot, the reason is he has a date that night.

So we got his hair, did. He put on deodorant for once. I met someone in Auschwitz. So I just love that even back then he was bragging about getting his hair glazed. Stephanie, he pointed out. He got his hair glaze a lot, so I don't know if he noticed that. Why is his face so shiny? Because he's reflective.

He's sweaty. He doesn't know what his skin. stop glazing. It's like his mouth unhooks like they accuse pit bulls of and it's just like lock jawed open and he just breathed really loud. Is it because he booked the guest so

he feels like it has to be a party? I think that's part of it. So what we're going to see here is some type of John Travolta joke. Now the context of this does not matter. I want you just watch Alonzo's reaction because all John wants to do

is get him to laugh at So what else did John Chavalt to tell you? Yeah, it was... What did you say? Did you have to French kiss him? No, no. We did, we did get to... I did get to work on... Alonzo never gives John anything.

So this entire episode, which is so fantastic. I really enjoyed the fact that John's really trying to be like, hey, we're on a comedy show, we're having fun, right? I was just like, yeah. So anyway, to answer your question, Stephanie. I used to build airplanes in the military. Oh, okay, cool. And it hurts John.

deeper because he keeps acknowledging John, John. Yes. And that's great. Instead of just like, who's this producer that keeps talking to me. Yeah, he knows him. Yeah. Yeah, they know each other. That's awesome.

And John asks this question because he has to set himself up as an equal to Alonzo Bowden. Alamon so far out of John's world as far as comedy goes, it's laughable. But John acts like, they're just peers. You know, so. I had a question for you. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Because you became a judge on last comic.

And my question, because as a comic, I was going, do you like to sit and judge other comics? Was it something that you... You know what it was? As a comic, I didn't even ask a question. No. You know, I wanted to ask you this, you know, as a fellow comedian, you know, we're both comedians.

What was it like judging, you know, the last comic standing? And you wonder, like, why did he ask that question? It turns out it was very self-serving. This is why he wanted to talk to Alonzo about that. Some of them, though, would pick the wrong material, you know, for... But I always said, because I go, well, that's got to be hard to judge that your friends, like we're saying. And then they offered me to be the guest judge. Yeah.

And I'm like, yeah, how much is it? 20 grand? Yeah, of course. I'll do it. Yeah. So the whole point of bringing that up is so that John could break. that he was brought on as a guest judge and that they paid him

$20,000 to do that. Of course he mentions the dollar amount. Which is crazy because Aliza Bowden has been on the show. He was the runner up. Then he was the winner. And then he was a judge on the show. I'm guessing he made a lot more

than $20,000 from last comic standing. And John had it. By the way, he never brings it up. A lot of Bohn doesn't just say, yeah, I made $2 million. But John has to bring up to $20,000. It's that same move that Opie was just doing. thinks this is like I'm letting you in on the embarrassing stuff, huh?

I had a change of heart because I could be bought. Yeah, no, you just, we know what you're doing. You're bragging. Right. We're not impressed at all. But back then, 10 years ago, John did sometimes try to be self-deprecating. Well, I don't know if you do auditions or if you've done auditions. Of course I have.

Okay. Well, no, I know you have a resume of ones I didn't make. Well, yeah. Well, so you know, so it. I have a resume of one. ones I didn't get? He said make, but he meant get, yeah. Okay.

One they didn't make. He needs to have all of the experiences. No one else is allowed to have any. If somebody's like I wrote a horse, he has to interrupt them to say, because it's like they're taking it away from him if he also rode a horse one time. Well, I also like, still have that memory, John. I also like that Alonzo is just like, I don't know if you, like, go on auditions and so like that, because he doesn't see John as a guy in show business.

You know what I mean? He's not thinking of the John's audition. for things. And John being such an idiot that he is, doesn't realize that everyone who auditions for things gets a small percentage of those things they audition for. It's like, yeah, it's something I don't get the role. Like, go, no shit.

And the talent booker for the gig you're on normally isn't also auditioning for wings on the side. Right. Some things didn't age well as they're talking about Last Comic Standing. Listen, I love Last Comic, but just like any other show. You know who didn't win last comic?

Amy Schumer. Oh, my God. Wow, I don't know that. Fluffy was kicked off for having a cell phone in his pocket. Yeah. I didn't know Amy. Yeah, Amy tried out. No, Amy did the show.

Amy was, I think, season five or six or something like that. Yeah, she was on. Wow. Isn't that crazy that Amy Schumer didn't win the last comic standing? Wow. Not so. I guess on NBC you can't make too many vagina jokes. Yeah, but look at that.

That fan now. Right, I know. It doesn't make any sense. So John wasn't paying attention. They talked about early on in the episode that Alanza Bowden was the runner up and then he won the next season. And I love that Stephanie scolds him here. Well, how far did you make it the first time around? The first time I was runner up.

I came in second. Wow. Yeah. We covered this already. God damn. How many beers are you in? No. He was the runner up and then he won the next season.

No, I didn't know which one runner up. There was a film. John Hepron and I. He got to do. trail up there. What were you saying? No, I know, I know. Can I get another beer?

Yep. John has a brilliant joke here as they're talking about Alonzo Fortune tellers and how much it costs to hire a fortune teller and what that would be like. I guess so. I guess so. But then I got to pay, what, $10 a minute? Exactly a minute. But it might be worth it.

That's actually kind of cheap on today's one. She'll know what you were thinking. Yeah. As the chicks I get in Vegas. That's happened. And then, you know, dating. I mean, I'm a road comic, though. I'm on the road all the time.

I hate that John has to look to the board op guy next to him. Who doesn't want to look at him? Who does not want to look at him? I'm just like, you know, the thing I just said, like the chicks I get in Vegas. Yeah, yeah, we heard you, John. Very good. So this is my favorite part of the show because John has to go get another beer. And we find out what all these.

people actually think about John after he gets up and leaves. So you're looking for a mature woman, smart and funny. That you can buy footwear for. With a radio show. Who knows how to walk in the heels? All right.

Who's bronzed her ass? Where'd you come from? He just ruined it again. You know, I'm leaving it again. You had a moment. Where are you going? Where are you going? I'm going to get a beer.

Oh, fuck's sake. He's just... Yeah, it's timing. His timing's horrible. Look at him. He's just, he can. cannot live without, like he has a 12-pack and the whole thing is gone. Probably going to have a smoke while he's up there.

Smoke. I mean, that really tells you a lot. Immediately when he's gone, he's like, this fucking piece of shit. I mean, there's never enough beer for this fucking guy. He's probably going to smoke a cigarette even though he's supposed to be doing our show right now. They'll hate him. Well, that's weird because John never drinks on the job and never has had a drink on the job. But notice how he used the bit as an excuse to go get one.

he pretended he was all upset that they were making fun of him so he could leave so he could actually get a beer and then they were like no don't go he's like no this isn't a bit I'm leaving yeah I'm going to get a beer because I'm out of beer right now so I thought that was very funny because he does just get up and somebody miller's just like it's an hour long show I quit you get you couldn't sit here for an hour with us okay yep go grab one of my beers help yourself now one of the things that John does at this show that we've seen many times it's the happy happy hour show where they all drink. It starts off by they're toasting each other.

And John brings down people who are sober. Alonzo Bowden's been sober for 28 years at this point. And John finds that opportunity to start complaining about people who are sober. Yeah, no, but I do notice that Alonzo, and, you know, because I used to do the Arty, you know, with the Sturton John, Artie Lang, we did all those tours. And Artie and I would be drinking and having a blast and all the comics were, you know, Florenton and all those guys. And now I do stand-up and nobody drinks.

Doesn't that suck, O'Anso? Isn't it terrible that nobody wants to be my drinking buddy anymore when we do stand-up gigs? Yeah, maybe you could, like, not be drunk at your job. I'm not saying I would do that, but, you know, for John, that could be a possibility. I think he's only used to doing this rap to the bartenders at the comedy clubs. We're like, oh, my God, yeah, you get it, dude. But anyone outside of there is like, yeah, we're glad kids don't smoke as many cigarettes now.

That's a good thing. Right, right. So because we're bringing up drinking with fellow comics and how it used to be back in the day, Sam Kinnison gets brought up. Of course he does. Yeah, you get in a world of shit drinking, whereas smoking weed, you're moving too slow to get in trouble. So I think that's why. They can't catch you.

Right, right. I think that's what's happened. But that's what I see him doing. You're right. You know what's so funny. Not a lot of crazy drinking, but definitely getting high. Yeah, but by her idol was like Sam Kinnis. And I hung out with Sam Kittes.

Yeah. I did too. And it was all coke and alcohol. Oh, my God. I love Sam so much. Okay. So now these two, Stephanie and John, tried to figure out who has the better Sam Kinnison story.

Of course, she was Sister Sleez with Brother Weez. And she talks again about how they did some comedy show. And Sam Kinnisson came out and talked about how he was just fucking. or in the dressing room for the last 20 minutes. And it was so funny, so great, blah, blah, blah, blah. And not to be out done, John has to pull out his Sam Kinnisandeson story that we've all heard a million times. And again, Alonzo Bowden wants nothing to do with any of this. He's 28 years sober on this show.

That's cool. I never met him, but I never heard anything bad about him. I mean, the best story I have is that, I mean, he treated me like a celebrity immediately. And I was at the China Club in L.A. You know how disappointed he'd be right now. Because Sam loved me. I mean, 35 years old, you're a mess. Anyway, I slept in his house.

I mean, he was just so nice to me. Jesus Christ. John cannot take a joke there at all. And then again, with the fucking sleepovers. He's seven years old. I had a sleepover with him. Of course we're best friends. Okay.

But he described Sam Kinnison at first, like you would describe the host at the Olive Garden, where they treat you like a celebrity. That's not a thing to brag about, John That's not a friendship That's a drug buddy Right And I remember we were at the China Club This is the night he strangles Arsenio Hall

For making fun of his brother And then I find some of the staircase But he brought me to the bathroom He goes hey come here I'm gonna show you something And he opens up this magazine page Full of cocaine

I haven't seen that much weed And he goes here do some of this And I'm a kid I'm like yeah okay So I do some and then he goes, then he reaches a dispute, he goes, if you start getting a little freaky,

take one of these. Oh my God. John, that's not a story. Sam Kinison gave me drugs. And I did them. And I did them. That's not a punchline.

He was looking after you. He gave me an upper. And then he said, if you get you up, here's a downer. Right. Okay. Cool.

Good stuff, John. And you know, they were so close that like on his deathbed, Sam was like, John, when I pass, I need you to tell everybody about the drugs I did. Tell I had more Coke you've never seen before.

In detail and how I pushed you to do them. When you were a kid. Why does John bring that up every time? Because he thinks it's cool. Yeah. I did Coke with Sam Kitteson. Neat, John. Alonzo Bode's the guest today.

Let's see what he's been up to. He thinks it ties him to Sam. Meanwhile, Stephanie feels the exact same way about Sam, and she's never done a drug in her entire life. So somehow they connected over something. else. And so because we're talking about drugs, Alonzo talks about Artie Lang and fuck you, John. Listen to what, John. The only thing he can bring up. Last summer in Montreal at the festival, we met and we started talking baseball. He's a baseball fan. I know, I know. And yeah, it was cool.

It was cool meeting Artie. Now, Artie's a great guy, but Artie, you know, ended up in a really bad place, stabbing himself nine times, you know, and drank bleach or something. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Jesus. Why the fuck did he bring that up? John, it's Artie. Listen, if I'm ever not giving well. I love that. I love it.

I love it. Lots of Bose. It's like, oh, I met him up in Montreal. Oh, we had a blast talking baseball. Yeah. And John supposedly has this long-time friendship with Artie laying their best friends on the Stern show together. And he can't just be like, dude, Artie's such a great guy. We'd go out and get lunch after the show or any kind of, we went out and did comedy tours.

He was such a fun. hang. It's just like, yeah. But remember when he stand himself nine times and drink that bleach or whatever? Fucking asshole. That's infuriating. It's such a shitty thing to do. And it brings up the bleach.

He's like, oh, I don't know. Maybe. Allegedly. Maybe it was bleach or something. I don't know. You're the one who tweeted it at him. Fucking asshole. It's that same thing.

He has to, nobody else can be friends with Artie. It's his friend. You can't have him. And he has to be shitty. I have to make this a bad memory. got along with him. Would you know that he sat himself nine times? Right.

Yeah. Oh, you rode a horse? I owned one. Okay, man. You win. He did own a horse. So then they don't have it anymore. The X.

So then they, uh, they get into this political conversation. And it's very left leaning and it's very boring. And of course, that's where John shines. You know, if there's people who don't like Republicans and like Democrats, uh, he's,

he's all over. that and he comes out with a very interesting theory that at first he's not sure if alonzo's going to agree with him or not but wouldn't you agree alonzo and i've said this from day one i mean the tea party is essentially the we hate the blacks party i mean no no the tea party doesn't hate you can't limit it to blacks oh for a second there he thought he's going to get some pushback he's just like how about those people who don't want to attack so much they hate black people, right? Yeah, they do. Yes. All right. We're on the

same page. Good stuff. I like the Jack- Goes. I've been saying that since the beginning. Good, hot take. I love that Alonzo at one point makes fun of Stephanie. This was so subtle but so well done.

I've never seen anything like this before. So what else do you have on that little paper? I've never done this this way. This is great. You just go down a little You do NPRs of Wait, Wait, Wait, Don't tell me. I love doing WaitWay. I'm doing my favorite shows. Wait, wait, wait is fantastic.

It's, uh... I love that he's just like, so this isn't a real conversation? You just read off your little sheet there? Yeah, a little piece of paper. Questions for me? That was amazing. It's so well done. He's like, you suck at this lady.

I thought that was funny. John, even back then, 2016, before the Dabbleverse, felt that he needed to prove he was a stutterer. You gotta listen every Sunday night. It's really fun. I know. Charlie Pierce, a lot of our beloveds are a lot of my beloved. I just let the last one I heard was with Richard Lewis. Yeah, yeah.

It's a great show. For those I don't believe I stutter. And somebody guests are, you know. What is that? I think he was doing a rail when he got his beer. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I think that's very possible. It was like that flower from Little Shabahars,

but like having a stroke at the same time. And it was like frozen open. That's not real. No. It's not real. Also, did you guys notice? Yeah. Yeah.

And now there's three beers in front of them. How the fuck did that happen? Well, it's the professional thing to do, Carl. Did you want one? I got a couple. No, you don't? Okay. I forgot you.

I don't have a drunk in 30 years. Okay, I'll have it. Yeah, no problem. Yeah, Jalison has three beers in front of them. And then at the very end of the show, I think he does this, because he wants to seem like he's producing the show and helping Stephanie out, because there's no reason to say this while you're still out of air. I had a special.

You're great. They're great. So, yeah, Stephanie, this is, I'm so happy. Can you just say you're part of a Rebel Alliance? Hold on. Hold on. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, hold on. You're just so sexy.

Your voice is so sexy. You are part of the Rebel Alliance, and you will be destroyed. Oh my God, I'm so wet right now. I've got to go change my panties. But Steph, could I just ask Alonzo one thing? Yeah. Do you mind just after we end this, you just do some promos for us?

Yeah, I'd be happy to do some. This is the Stephanie Militia. Yeah, I'll do a few of those. Alonzo Bowden, you are fantastic. Thank you, Stephanie. I'm happy to meet you finally. Thank you. Couldn't ask that after.

Why did he ask him to cut promos while the show was still going on? Exactly. Because it's harder for him to say no. Yes. It's hard to say no. And it shows Stephanie he's doing his job and shows the audience.

Hey, look at me. I'm actually producing this thing. What you should do is just ask people, you know, when you're not on air. Hi, I'm crippled Jesus, and you're listening to Who Are These Podcasts? Like I used to do. This is Larry Blydner, and you are listening to

Who Are These Podcasts? And what's not forget this guy. Presenting Orson Wells. You're listening to WATP. Who are these podcasts? Adam, you pulled a clip from John and Tammy Peskitelli. This is going back a little ways.

Just to remind people that we have so much of this stuff that we have to get through. I need John to stay away for a long time because we've got to get through this. Yeah, I know. We've been backlogged with content from 2016, 2017, 2018. So much to get to.

I thought there was so much going on in this clip. You don't need any context. Who is your 3 a.m. friend. Do you know what 3 a.m. friend is? I base my life on, right? I'm a 3 a.m. friend. Like, if you call me up at 3 o'clock in the morning, I will show up with bail money and a shovel, no questions asked. Who's your 3am friend? The guy sitting to your left, Sterling Youngman. Sterling Youngman. Yes, he recorded the Howie podcast. Right. He's right here. Sterling's safe. Hello there. So can I offset that then?

Sterling and John, it's up to you if you want. What's the biggest thing that you've ever saved John from? Himself. I've enjoyed listening to this because I could comment on everything that he says. Ladies, don't ever let him use your bathroom. Why? Oh, he'll destroy it. Why?

Why do you think, Jai, you're disgusting. What do you mean? He laughed so hard and then caught himself. Yeah. As if he's never heard that before. Yeah. By the way, who is his 3 a.m. buddy phone call, guy? Sterling Youngman.

Yeah, whoever was sitting next to Tammy at the time. Have you guys heard of Sterling Youngman? No. We have a degree in John's history. And his 3 a.m. phone call is a man we've never heard of. That's what his relationships are like. Because he doesn't have a friend. His only friends are the guys at the pub who,

when he called them to help him move, none of them showed up. It's like, no, man, I'll watch the game with you and get drunk, but I'm not coming to your house to move a lazy boy. Yeah, give me some notice. Well, yeah, that too. He didn't give anyone any notice. But yeah, wasn't that very telling that Tammy's like, who's like your guy? Who's the guy you can rely on? That guy.

Yeah, right. Whoever I'm looking at right now is the answer. And as soon as we saw that he was a guy who likes to speak truth to John, we knew we're never going to hear. this guy. Yeah, and then that guy's response to me is just like, go fuck yourself. Never called me a 3 a.m. asshole. You stink. Review girl Annie.

It's been waiting patiently in the green room. What's up, Annie? Oh, hey, buddy. Oh, hey, buddy. Hey, buddy. Not your buddy, friend. We got a game to play. This comes in from Simon.

It's the Opie or Burr game that I was miserable at last week. I sucked at this game. How are you feeling this week? My confidence is down. I'll be honest. I would just like to guess myself a lot. But play along at home. Welcome, one and all.

I'm your host, Simon, from the worst ever podcast, and Opie and Bill have a veritable smorgish board of silliness for us today. Call out of work because round one is sick. Are you crazy? Why do I do this? There's no reason to ever do this again. Time to register those votes. Jesus Christ, I'm not going first on this one.

Producer Chris, what do you think? Burr. What do you think, Annie? Opie? Yeah, Bush? Opie. I'm going to Opie. And here's the answer.

Are you crazy? Why do I do this? There's no reason to ever do this again. Golden handcuffs, Opie. Hurry up and hide the bodies. Here comes round two. Where do I get off saying that, huh? Although my podcast is doing pretty well.

If you go on iTunes, time to register those votes. God, that's got to be Opie. I can't imagine Bill would say that. Adam, what do you think? Opie. Annie? Bill Burr.

Mr. Chris? Burr. All right, we're split on this one. And here's the answer. Where do I get off saying that? My podcast is doing pretty well. I'm going iTunes. So don't bother getting a job, Nia.

Spit on your own asshole, because round three is barreling in. Child sleep experts. Child sleep experts. How do you do that and not be a little creepy? I like to watch children sleep. Time to register those votes. What do you got, Annie? I think that's Opie.

Adam? Opie. I agree that it's Opie. Producer Cress? Burr. Okay. Interesting. And here's the answer.

Child sleep experts. Child sleep experts. How do you do that and not be a little creepy? I like to watch children sleep. Just don't be the kids. there when they wake up. Cut the window screen the day before so you don't get caught playing round four. Bear with me.

I'm exhausted because I went to bed at two and my eyes went, bling, fling! Wide awake at 5.30. I slept three and a half hours. Time to register those votes. That's got to be Opie. I'm wrong about this. I'm quitting my job.

Annie, what do you got? I think it's Hopi. Adam? I'm going Opie. Producer Chris? Opie. All right. And here's the answer.

Bear with me. I'm exhausted. Because I went to bed at two, and my eyes went, bling, bling, wide awake at 5.30. I slept three and a half hours. Huh.

That boring story took a lot longer than I expected. Let's play round five. You dumb fuck. All right, what's the current score we have, Frusier-Crest, going into round five? I'm tied with Annie for the lead with three. All right. Does that mean I have two and Adam has two?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. I'm looking forward to the second one. I think Adam Sandler's going to pull it off. All these years later. It's too bad he didn't make a whole bunch of Happy Gilmore movies. But looking forward to the next one, I think it comes out next month.

Gilmore movies, but looking forward to the next one. I think it comes out next month, right? If you find out, I'll kill you. Congratulations to this week's winner. Your prize is a family that didn't get what they deserve. Thank you for playing along. Goodbye. Great job, Simon.

Seven does a great job with that game, and I had a fantastic comeback. Just now, three-way tie. Tied for first. Just in keeping with the theme of hide the bodies, Carl, I'm just going to ask you once. Where's Megan? Megan cannot make it today. She was off the last two weeks because of the timing.

We were at a go early. And this is her big birthday week for Megan. Happy birthday to Megan. So we hope to have a back. Happy birthday to Megan. How come she wasn't here last week then? We did an hour early. She was at work.

Okay. Because we had the NECro Gobicokeme concert. I'm going to ask you these questions next week and just try and make them the same. Sounds perfect. But yes. We hope to have the. Is it gay? I love that game.

I hope to bring back Is It Gay? And have Megan back next week. Hopefully she can make it because she's missed on the show. But we do have Annie who can read some reviews. We have any new reviews coming in, Annie. Yeah, we have a few of them over on Apple slash iTunes. Excellent. The first one comes in from Spider-Eternals saying, just horrendous.

The biggest problem in the universe is this podcast. Oh, biggest problem in the universe reference. I think that's got to be a five-star, I would hope. Five stars. Nice. Thank you. Dr. Snuggs leaves a review saying, What is this garbage? W-I-T-G. I thought I was getting into a comedy podcast, but there were no laughs.

None. Producer Chris seems better and more tolerable than anyone else. Carl Smile Talks and laughs at anything, even funerals. The other host seemed to be a wash-up from the worst Josh Whedon ever conceived. That is saying something. Just do yourself a favor and listen to the financial feminist or anything else with substance. one well-deserved star. Okay.

Well-written, I'm going to guess that's a five-star review for us. Five-star. Yeah. Excellent. Well, that's fantastic. Thank you for the positive star reviews. It helps the algorithm. Is there another one on there, any?

Not that I have pulled up. Okay. You're good. You're good. Perfect. See how well scripted this show is, how tight it is? We're nailing it over here. And we have some voicembring.

voice smells, but first, Annie, where can people find you? I haven't been doing much of anything lately, but if they want to check out what I have done, go check out my podcast. What's this game? Just look it up on YouTube and you can find it. What's this game? Adam, do you have anything you're promoting, my friend? I love when we get to talk about Howard and Beth's relationship, and I love digging into

how they live together and how they spend this time and what really goes on there. And I love that episode we did about them. but I did feel bad about one thing. I felt bad when I was just kind of making fun of her for doing cat rescue. I was like, how she does it is fine, but the fact that she does it, I don't necessarily think that's a bad thing. I think there are much worse things people could do. So I'd like to plug this week, Coco and Stephen together forever, how a kitten and bunny became

friends. This is a New York Times best-selling book, and I haven't read it yet. I'm not planning to, but it looks wonderful. It's a very good hard stock. Everybody get out there and get up. All right. Can you just show me like an example of what a page looks like? Because here's the thing I can't understand about.

Okay, perfect. This is what I can't understand about Beth Stern's book. Is it there's an audio version and Howard voices the rabbit? It's like all big illustrations. That's amazing. Wow. Wouldn't it be funny if Howard went to a studio to Record it.

Yeah, what? He financially leaves the house for that. Very good. All right. Producer Chris, we have an Isob show coming up at the end of the month. We do. We're at the beer park on Friday the 29th. 29th of May.

7 p.m. playing 7 to 10. So if we're in the Western New York area, come to the beer park, see the isotopes perform. It's the band I'm in with producer Chris and also Lucy Tightbox is in that. band and uh since we're plugging the team next week's teaser next week's I'll tell you that Lucy typebox will be the guest on WTP this Saturday. We thought we had a gig on Saturday but it got moved to Sunday so I could just do WTP normal time which is exciting and Lucy hopefully will be in studio with us to talk about whatever dumb bitches we want to make fun of that day.

See, she's my shield So I could like make fun of dumb bitches Like, see, Lucy agrees with me So it's okay It's like how Howard has Robin You get it I don't have to explain this to you guys Good around a long time

It's a bunch of crap Swing in a mid Rock and Rolla As I was listening to some voicemails here Starting with this one Carl this is Jerry Wineshub I'm the head of the VP of Walgreens Los Angeles

I'm reaching out of you in Rochester I think Whitney Cummings has eaten every Adderall in the Los Angeles area. School students reading and testing scores are actually going down from the amount of pills this woman is eating. She can't finish a sentence anymore.

She's taken 100 in the morning, 100 before the show. By nighttime, she's, you know, chewing on power lines. So if you can help us out in Rochester, maybe send some adderol all over to Los Angeles because Whitney has eaten everyone. Fuck you. Whitney's eating all the adderals.

But that would make her phone. No, it makes her fucking crazy. It's not doing well for her. Hey, Carl. I'm scrolling, scrolling, scrolling through Patreon, trying to find your new soccer show. I got this money burning a hole in my pocket. So send me a link or give me a call or something. Also, who's going to co-host the soccer show with you?

Is it going to be Christian Blatt? Fingers crossed. Also, what sort of topics will you be having? You know, I heard that they don't even call soccer. soccer over in Europe. They call it football. I don't know. It's something to do with the metric system or something. But this could be a topic for your show.

This could be your show. I'm available. Oh, you're available. This is becoming a reality. You could also cover that time you played games over in Germany? I did. I played in Germany and Austria and England and whatever. So if you're not familiar with what we're talking about.

about here. Germany is playing at MetLife against Ecuador in the World Cup. And I'd like to go to that game. I'm a big fan of that. So I said I can make it a write-off if I just had a soccer podcast. And I've gotten inundated with people's emails telling me that I should start a soccer podcast. So Adam, what do you do on Sundays?

All right. Fair enough. Hey Carl, it's Arborist. The reason Bill Byrd didn't want to reveal his set list is because he's playing drums to that song that John wrote for Howard. I don't know, hit the drop where it's like a poor little Jew boy, something, something, and then like the slur for black people. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right, go yourself. That's the one. And Bill's playing drums on that, I'm surprised. It's got all these stops. I got to hit. Hey, Carl, I'm watching the Buffalo game. It's a second period. But I'm on the southern coast of Kauai, Hawaii.

Have a drink. You're watching the game. You're in Rochester. I'm sure watching the game. I just want to rub it in. But, hey, they don't have a bunch of obsolete gamers here that Kodak's up. You win, I guess. What?

Jesus Christ. I think that guy just wanted to bribe that he was in Hawaii. I think so. I was watching the game. Thanks for checking again. Hey, what's up, gentlemen? I was listening to your Artie Fletcher podcast, and he mentioned his roommate that,

I can't remember the bullshit he was saying about putting the residual checks on the wall and the cast of them that the roommate could have half. I am that roommate. My name is Chuck McGinnelly. And I was giving one and everything you guys said. And if you would like some more stories, because I lived with a guy for about seven or eight years back in the mid-2000s, like in 2000 to 2008 until he moved to Florida.

But I can tell you... Okay, this guy left his phone number. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Sounds like it's a private message for me. Holy shit, that's what video was telling me. Seven or eight years. Seven or eight years with Artie Fletcher, booked. You, sir, are booked on the show.

I can't wait to talk to Artie Fletcher's former roommate. I really hope John Mawand doesn't already do those shows together. He's so great. Phil Byrd's podcast is not always just bad. I think the issue is it started really early. So, right? It was one of these, like, it was kind of cute that he was, like, you know, unique that he was just talking to the thing, like, to the podcast by himself.

But now you've got all these professionally built shows with, like, personalities and people who are built for radio. And Bill Boers never, like, fostered that skill, and as instead just slowly lost interest. So you just see in the exact opposite direction as, say, someone like Joe Rogan, who started up just talking to his retarded friends, and now he has famous and smart retarded friends. Call me back.

That's probably true. That's why we started to wear these podcasts ten years ago. Because I was listening to podcasts, I'm like, these all suck. But people were just like, man, but it's a podcast. It shows up on your phone. Cool. I think that was very accurate. Yeah, I think so too.

Hey, Carl. Try to get a nice side, man. Happens to the best of them. Hey, Carl. I saw there's a new bonus episode, Patreon.com slash who are these podcasts with my mic, talking about the Julia Fox book. I never listened to us. I decided to start from the beginning.

I'm on the second episode. This is the funniest book of all five. The picture frame being smashed over her dad's head is crazy. Check this shit out if you're not. Thank you for that endorsement. It really is fucking nuts. She really thought she was going to become a novelist after writing this book. The way she writes about things, there was a moment where she glosses over.

She's running on a bicycle. She's a teenage girl and her friends on the hands. And a guy pulls up in an SUV and it's like, hey, ladies, want to ride with me? And they're like, sure. So they get in the car and the guy's like, you get your girls party? They're like, what do you mean? Like Molly and Coke and stuff? Of course you party.

So he's like, okay, cool. And he gives them a concoction. This is what Julius writing at her book. He gives them a concoction that contains all of the drugs and all of the alcohol, which is, by the way, not how you ingest all drugs. But whatever. So then they drink these drugs and they drive around, pick up his cousin and stuff. Fast forward to wake up in a hotel room naked, having not remembered what happened that night.

And rather than be, like, devastated that Julia and her friend were date raped, she goes, so anyway, I go out to the courthouse and my dad's there because I got this appointment with the judge. Like, that wasn't an interesting story. You didn't want to elaborate at all like getting date raped by a straight. Ranger. Okay. It's a crazy book. Anyway, it's worth

checking. Things in the book moved like they're in a dream, but also are way too detailed to ever be a dream. Wow. Right. That's well said.

Because she'll explain someone's facial expression and what they're thinking, even though she's not them, in a moment in which she was 12. Yeah. See, Bob Dylan's book is like that, but we know he's making it up.

Right. I mean, I also know that she's making it up, but I don't think that she knows that I know, that she knows that I know. Let's get out of here. It's too much. I got to go. Bye. I got to go. I got to go. I got to go. I got to go. Okay. Bye. This is Nate from Flint, Michigan. And guess what? This voicemails over. All right, everybody. This was a great podcast. It was, it was very, very revealing.

I don't know. Who gives a shit? Why I'm even still doing this? I'm out of here. That was a great episode. That was really great. Yes. Thank you for tuning in.

Bye. Okay, bye. Knock, knock, who's there, gay?
