Who Are These Podcasts? - Ep730 - Artie Fletcher's Roommate, Opie & Tony, Joe Matarese, Aaron Imholte

Episode Date: May 28, 2026

This week we start off talking about Aaron Imholte who received a big donation that was a mistake. Aaron didn’t want to see that it was a mistake and his victory lap seems extremely foolish. He also got very worked up about reagandotcom in the free chat, wait for the reveal. Vinnie Paulino joins the show to discuss Artie Fletcher’s stand up comedy. Artie's former roommate, Chuck Mignanelli, then hops on the show. Chuck explains that Artie is a pathological liar and has stories for days. Joe Matarese has a brand new podcast that’s about moving to Philly. But is it about moving to Philly? Opie had a big birthday weekend that was miserable. He tries to relate to a working class guy like Tony P but fails at connecting with a human who isn’t rich. Megan is back and her and Annie join the show for a round of “Is It Gay?” and the Opie or Burr game. We read recent reviews, comments, and listen to your voicemails.

I told them in the strongest of words to just do it. You see, this is a, we just do it kind of show. Are you a boner guy? Oh, I was a boner guy. You know what? I missed penis. What are you talking about? I'm the one who should apologize.

Is it going to be absolutely riveting? Is it going to change your life by any 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. Maddie-Oh! Cuzz-a-Roe! Cuzz-A-Roe! Slapparuni! It's showtime.

WATP! W-A-T-P! W-A-T-P! Hello, Robert Vix and Cuzzarus. Welcome to another episode of Who Are These Podcasts. The only show that is aging gracefully. I'm your old car with me every Wednesday. the man who is in month 17 of his epic WATP troll.

It's Adam. How are you feeling going to? That look right there. I think I'm on to him. Fuck. He's like, shit. Also with us, a man who worked for Artie Fletcher because he knew one day he would get invited to be a Wednesday guest on WATP from the creep off.

It's Vinnie Pauline up. Well, I have made it. Thanks for having, man. It's very impressive to get on here on Wednesday. Ask Trucker Andy about that. Producer Chris is here as well. Hi. please go to Who Are These.com.

Email address, voicemail number, subreddit, Discord, merchandise, YouTube channel, Patreon, Supercast, bonus shows. We've had a great month for bonus shows. We had another living in the past with Stuttering John. And then, you know, I keep promoting this because I feel very strongly that the cross events we're doing with Blind Mike where we're going through Julia Fox's autobiography are so fantastic. I was glad to hear Mike talking about this on his show the other day that we both thought it was just going to suck

and we'd make fun of this book and it's fucking riveting. I mean, it's all made up bullshit. But it's very fun to listen to and go through and analyze. So if you're not on Patreon or a member on YouTube, check that out because I think you'll enjoy the crossovers we do with Mike going through Julia Fox's book. Also, we encourage our listeners. Give us five stars wherever you review podcast and shit over us.

in the comments section. That's right. We're a podcast. You can listen to us wherever you listen to your fine podcasts. Subscribe. It'll show up right in the app every Thursday and Sunday. You get WATP. Also, if you're watching this live on YouTube, you can support the show tonight and participate

as we go. Supertip. G.g. I was late because I was testing it. I was testing the system. Moody decided he needed to make this a little bit more difficult for us podcasts. So he's put in a new barrier of entry for us. But we've got to figure it out.

So you can go to supertip.g.g. slash WATP to support the program. And we do appreciate that because we got a big one today. On today's show, R.D. Fletcher's former roommate, Chuck, will be stopping by. And Vinny has curated some of Artie's best stand-up bits. Nope. For us to enjoy that. And indulgent.

Don't tell people this is his past. Joe Madder Reese has started yet another podcast. and the second episode just dropped. I can't wait to show you guys what he's up to. Opie overlooks the ocean as he tries to relate to Tony P. who works on a holiday because it pays time and a half. And he will be here and the return of Megan to play, Is It Gay?

And Simon's the Opie or Burr game. They'll be reading your reviews and comments. We'll be listening to voicemails. But first, Aaron Imholt humiliated himself, and he thought we stopped paying attention. He would be wrong about that. Aaron thought he got a real big donation this week. And when Aaron gets a lot of money, he goes into victory lap mode.

And we got to see that in this example. Thanks to my buddy Bubble Popper, who continues to work diligently, even though this little piggy has been off for a few weeks here. Bubble Popper is our main guy for curating the Aaron content. And he continues to do it. And sorry, Aaron, we're still paying attention. is negotiation. Yeah, exactly.

And oh my God, good Lord monkey balls. Holy shit, asshole, cock. Do you just have an orgasm? I swear to gotta tell I orgasm with Tourette's. Holy piss bucket, shit for ass. Jeez, I'm Crow. And I just want to say thank you for making it happen. Thank you.

My goodness gracious Lord in heaven, Ablo Pacheco with $400 says now that you're no longer on YouTube. Oh, man. So this person who was giving him $400 on Rumble is very excited about playing the Erika Son, which is some German march from the 1940s. and also has the white power hour lights as emojis in here. So, again, Aaron making money from white supremacists, and he's very proud of that. It gets very excited about the racism on this show.

Play it for him. He wants the light. He wants the light. 400 bucks. Now I'm going to scrub a little bit, because this celebration goes out for quite some time. I can imagine. Yes.

So I wanted to bring you to the funny part about this as Aaron continues to gloat and talk about how he doesn't have to beg for money the rest of the episode, which is a big deal for him. 100. Also, let's take the goal link out of the equation. And let's just put the links up for the Patreon and the locals. You can still give him money, but he's made the goal. So don't put money towards the goal, guys. I'd be embarrassed if he did that. He's got his dignity. Right.

You guys want to join that. You can. There you go. One dollar from Holkamesha Baby says he wanted to send $10. Oblo said it eight times now. Oh, really? This is great. So what happened is Ablo put in the 400 and then was going, shit, I didn't mean to do that.

No, I wanted to give 10 bucks over and over again in the chat. And everyone's responding to him in the chat. And Aaron's just going, yeah, we got it. He's not paying any attention. So finding someone to give him a buck to be like, Aaron, you fucking pay attention to the chat? This guy didn't want to give you that much money. Did he?

Oh, no. He says, no, that was my rent money. Now, Aaron likes to say that the fans of nobody likes onions and this little piggy and WATP are all the dumb idiots. This would be evidence that maybe the people who watch him and donate to his show are slows. I don't know. Just throwing it out there.

Oh, shit. I only wanted to send 10? Oh, no. All right, the goal week's going back on practice. Yeah, that's our first priority. We need the goal more than ever before. Now one of my listeners is homeless, so there's that. Probably deservedly so, though, for the being, making this mistake.

I don't know how you make that mistake. $10. I understand an extra zero or two. Yeah, 40. Yeah, right. But it goes from 10 to 400. I'm so effed. I was trying to send only 10. Okay. Yeah, Nova says chargeback happening now.

Cash that out fast, Aaron. It doesn't matter if I cash it out on Rumble. Rumble will deduct it from your account. It was a joke. Yeah. Aaron's just like, no, trust me. If I could, I would. The problem is it has to sit in Rumble for a minute.

I can't just grab that money immediately. But thank you for the suggestion. I was pretending to not see the chat for like 40 minutes. Right. fucking asshole that he'd give me a dollar to tell me the guy didn't want to give me

that much money he should have just signed off the show right there oh shit you know what I have an appointment today I forgot all about all right well anyway

great short one oh no oblo what do you want me to do give him his money back yes clearly what do you think he watched it

it's a real pickle huh yeah did you want me to keep it he says it was only supposed to be 10 Oh, no.

By the way, he's not feeling bad for his viewer right now. He's feeling bad for himself. He think. He thought he had the goal. Sorry, Ablo, I already played the German march. Yes, that's how that works. Oblo. I didn't catch up with the chat.

I was busy sucking his dick. Yeah. I guarantee Aaron's hoping that the guy just goes, ah, just keep it, man. Yeah. You're doing a good show. That's fine. There's this moment in the new documentary called The Crash

where I'm going to spoil something, not specifically, where someone has to tell a parent that their kid is alive, but another kid is dead. And so the parents immediately have to not show relief that their own child is gone. And that's what Aaron sounds like right here. That's exactly what he sounds like, oh, no. What a rent you say?

I also have rents, by the way, child support. Thought I had made it. but I guess you're more important now. Is the good thing here that he's going to use this as fuel to get everybody to help him make up for the 400 that he lost? Guys, remember how good I was feeling a few minutes ago and I don't feel that good? Wouldn't be great if I felt that good again? He makes his problems everyone's problem. Gotta love that about him.

I was sucking Oblo's dick and I didn't see that he was freaking out in the chat the entire time. What a selfish lover. Yeah, the victim and the hero. Right. Ablo, what do you want? want me to... Oh, you were yelling too much teeth. Oh, I'm sorry. I just... I just kept going for him. My bad.

Do, buddy. Now I feel bad. Well, yeah. I feel terrible. Oh, buddy. Oh, no. You know what? We're going to get that back to him. We are. We're going to get that back to Oblo. Was that in question? I'm curious

about that. We're going to just take it. it. And what's this we? This we shit. You know, whenever he wins, it's him. When he gets the money, I did this. I'm better than Melton. And then it's like, hey, can I have my money back? I guess we could do that.

We'll try. Let me check with them. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I have a meeting or two. Let me just give me a second to think. Oh, the poor guy. Literally.

Yeah. Oh, shit. Charge it back as Fast as you can, buddy. Charge that shit back. Well, guys, I guess we're just off to a good start. Is that a good recommendation to do a chargeback on it? I'm not sure. I don't know, but it's definitely not a show.

What is going on here? This isn't going on for a long time. The show is all about him making money. Do you know that, Adam? Come on. He says, PayPal me $390 and keep the, do me, Ablo, can you do me a favor? Keep in touch with me today. just go to your card and charge the whole thing back. That's do that first.

I like that Aaron's like, well, if I PayPal you, the $390, you realize that I was going to get fees in that anyway. You weren't actually giving me $400. So, you know, I'm actually going to lose money on this transaction. I'm still going to get taxed on all of this. I have to tax things. So, yeah, that doesn't work for me. Aaron came on, this was the morning show. Aaron came on the evening show and gave us an update that he was able to get the charge back through or something.

He's like, don't worry about our listener. He's fine. Moving on. We have to talk about that ever again. We'll just take his word for it, I suppose. But our goal is now 1,200. Right. Depression tax.

I'm charging all you guys now. So that was Tuesday. Wednesday this morning he comes on. and he's not getting a lot of money coming in. But he did have a pretty good day yesterday. And what's great about Aaron is that like a child, he just lives in the now. Yesterday he doesn't exist. Tomorrow will never happen.

Whatever's happening right now is all that matters. Really fucking sucks. I have to take my notice at all today. All right, guys, let's fire it up. Let's go with Erica first. 185 away from today's goal. I am not delusional. I know we're not going to get there.

We're also going until 11 today. But if you guys could get us to 100 away, we can call today a victory of sorts. I didn't want to get to the rally segment today, but hey. So now he's changing the rule. So it turns out that if he misses it by $100, it's still a victory instead of a miss of $100. That's interesting. I don't know they could do that. For every day like yesterday, there's a day like today.

So let's go. Streamlabs, PayPal, Venmo, Super Chat. No, Rumble Rants, gifted memberships. Let's go. Rally it up. Links in the chat. May I point out something I just noticed in the scroll there at the bottom of his screen? On the episode we watched from the day before, it said they were 61 members away from 600.

that one just said they were 91 members away. Because nobody renews their membership when they get gifted them. Right. So it's just this thing where it's constantly just chasing this fucking carrot that's dangling from in front of your nose. So it's just a giant waste of time for everyone. But Aaron makes money on it. And Aaron shouldn't feel bad because he gave that Pablo what he wanted, which was more white supremacy. And he delivered on that regardless of how much he paid.

So good on you, Aaron. That's true. The guy got his money's worth. The white supremacy, the cool light that spins around. It's cool light. And you know never to trust anybody when they start an argument with, I know it sounds delusional, but I'm not. At what the actual fuck?

Sounds like a good spot. Did Ralph make his goal? I don't know. We're a long ways away from ours. I don't know if Ralph hit his goal last night, but we're a long way away from the towboys goal. 265. We like to be at 200 by 830.

We got about a half hour to get under 200. 265 means we've made 25. Made 25 bucks so far today. Look, I mean, you can normally be panicking at this point. But he's got a little money in his pocket, so he's feeling okay. Can't have day, like the universe has to balance itself. You can't have days like yesterday. And not have days like today.

And not have days like today. So go ahead and hit like, hit subscribe and hit follow. but throw in a couple of membership-wise, we're still only four memberships away from 500. That means we've had one today. One, so let's go on a run of memberships. Okay, yeah, because we're all on the same team here, Aaron. That's what all of us are here to do,

is to make sure you hit your goals and multiple goals and membership goals and all of those things that you do. Now, my buddy Adam, was checking out some steel tell over on rumble ad how'd you feel over there uncomfortable it's a whole new world everything's so different there's a smell they're used to but uh they know they know they know before i even jump on in there that's that's great uh so you have a couple clips here where uh erin's fighting with the the free chat yeah they really trigger him specifically

there's a chatter in there that's bothering erin quite a bit so he has to respond uh ragin dot com says you're not autistic you're in insecure. Oh, is that it? Fuck. I thought I was autistic. Guys, ragin.com says it's not autism. It's insecurity.

I'm, I really apologize. I led you guys down a primrose path. Reagan.com's, why don't you play the clips you're referring to? Because I know it triggers the fuck out of you and the gay universe you belong to. It's gay.

Could you imagine? I know what things get. Could you imagine someone's like, can you back up what you said that person said by playing the clip of them saying that so that we know specifically what actually happened. No, no, I do that to bother you. You put out a terrible show where you gaslight your audience and lie all the time? Yes.

And I knowingly withhold evidence that would support my case because I know it triggers you. Right, right. And you know that he's triggered because he brought up the word trigger. Right. This is just like Chad Zumak. Like there's an obvious towel with Chad. When he has evidence of his point, he should. shows it, like literally show and tell.

He made 500 bucks in a comedy gig, and he had to pull out to money and show us. See, he had $500. Like, cool, Chad. And when he's lying, he's like, I don't have to show you guys shit. I'm not, I'm not proven anything. And Aaron's the exact same way. It's just like. And this was very stuttering John.

Like, he gave a speech about how he, he's autistic now. He's an autistic Catholic. This is this new character. So I just, you know, I'm looking. And somebody says in the free chat, you're not autistic. you're insecure. Yeah. And he can't let it go.

He can't let it go. If you were really diagnosed by a doctor or by someone with something, it wouldn't take a free chat to trigger you. Also, when someone's saying you're insecure, you're like, no, I'm not. I'm not defensive. Obviously, you're very insecure there, Aaron. First, you belong to.

And I know I brought you guys to the brink of insanity. Oh, if you tell Aaron to play the clip, it means you're part of the dabble verse. So if anyone ever says to Aaron, hey, can you play the thing that you just said happened? Do you have an example of that or something? Oh, you're part of the dabovers. Or the police or a legal team or the court or anybody that demands proof or evidence. You guys do the brink of insanity.

And I'm just going to keep poking at that wound. Keep letting me know what triggers you so I can keep teasing you about it. By the way, TLP tapped out to the toe. Carl tapped out to the toe. They all tapped out to the toe. Is he not familiar with my new show, Devilverse Live? We cover it like every week on there. Tapped out to the toe.

How dare you, sir? Ankle lock, bitch. Ankle lock. All right, let's go back. Speaking of Devilverse Live, wide mics on vacation this week. I have Carneth Electric. Hmm.

It will be my co-host tomorrow on Devilverse Live. 4 p.m. Eastern on the Horthy's podcast. YouTube channel on Thursday. And I was watching Cardiff, you know, he made his big travel return from his trip to Italy, Vinny. Mm-hmm.

Seems like he's a little more into it than you. You just put on a jersey. Yeah. I think you're Italian. My grandparents liked it so much they left. So. That's a good point. But, yeah, he made a travel return.

And even Cardiff was mentioning he might be interested some of the Steeltoe stuff. it's getting pretty wild over there I'll try to get him on my side on this and see if he can get him interested in it In your next clip It looks like Aaron's starting to crash out

Over this one specific chatter That he doesn't care about Because he comes from the dabovers Raggin.com Stop letting me know what triggers you Dude this guy Legit guys go make fun of ragin.com In the chat he is crashing the fuck out

Okay This is the thing that shows me what a pussy Aaron is. He legit needs other people to fight his battles for him. Hey, can everyone in the chat make fun of this guy that's bothering me right now

so that hurts his feelings? I was watching... So Patrick Melton made his big return. Nobody likes onions. It's been gone for a while. Patrick's in a lot of pain, apparently. But he had to come back because Mersh got dumped by Ice Dancer.

And so... I know. I mean, duh. So anyway, Mersh was doing the same thing that Aaron's doing right here where Mersh was going. And guys, I can't tell you what to do, but if you could all like just stop communicating with Ice Dancer

and just, you know, ignore her from now on, that'd be great. It's like, all these idiots want to have their own version of the pests from Opian Anthony that just do their bidding for them. And the beauty is, Opin Anthony never asked the pest to do anything. They just did it. You know? Aaron's sitting here going, hey, if you guys can go put funny Hulk Hogan memes

on their Facebook page right now, that'd be great. like Anthony and Jim never said that. Because they don't need it. They believe they are the best qualified to fight their own battles and would prefer if they were the ones given the chance to do it because they would be best at it. I'm worried for this Reagan.com guy though. I have a feeling the chat's really going to turn out of it now they've gotten their marching orders

from Mr. Imholt. Legit guys go make fun of Reagan.com in the chat. He is crashing the fuck out. for a solid hour now. It's fantastic. Sam Show says, Aaron, your sleeping bag is crusted over.

That's funny. Guys also making fun of you, Aaron. All right. Exactly. He tried to do it. Let's get back to the news. And that's fine.

Let's get back to the news. Oh, yeah. I mentioned I said, jerk off and sleeping bags when I was younger. One more clip on here. Any set up for this? No. All right.

Let's see what else is happening with that Reagan.com. Tim Finman says, laughing my fucking ass. off right now. Don't do not say that I'm being funny dude. Raggin.com is going to lose his fucking mind if you say that the show is funny right now. He hates it. Hates it. Kyler with $5 says great song in my opinion. Guys, everybody gift a membership. We're going to get ragan.com a membership to this channel. Everyone start gifting right now. Oh, dude. What if?

All right, guys, hear me out. But this might take an army of people and a lot of money. But what if we were able to donate a membership to Ray? Like, oh, that's going to piss him off. He's already seething as it is. And then if you got a membership donation, because you guys just kept, you know, gifting memberships over and over and over again to everyone got one,

oh, that'd be even better than making fun of him in the chat, guys. You know what fun we were having with that. It's fucking McAvelli in this guy. I know, right? It's like we don't see through this. You know what would really piss him off Someone gave me $100 right now And then you guys like elected me king

Everybody gift a membership We're gonna get ragin.com a membership to this channel Everyone start gifting right now You get a link with it I mean is there any difference between him and Darkside Phil This is identical to DSP Where he just starts ordering the people who are watching him to give him money Gift them up click that little gift bag down in the

bottom left of your chat. And let's get Reagan subscribed to this channel. Is Reagan.com going to be okay, Adam? I don't know. He makes gift bags sound so gross. But they were actually, there was a mutiny in the chat where they were, half the kids were trying to get Reagan.com to be elected mod. Oh, really?

Yeah. His rallying against Reagan. com didn't work. See, I thought that the rumble chat liked him. But it's 50-50 on Rumble, too? I mean, most people seem to like him. I don't know who those other people are in there. Like, no one's like, shh, I'm trying to listen to this.

It just feels like weird political sides. Okay. Did we lose you, Adam? Or you just trailed off there? No, no, I'm Reagan.com. I'm Reagan.com. I did all that. Adam is the one fucking with Aaron right there.

And I can tell you we were spurging out. Yeah. You should have seen the text message. Oh, I was crashing out. Oh, you're crashing. You just see the text message I was getting at the same time. Like, we can't defeat Aaron, Carl, abort. I'm so close to tap it.

I'm so close to tapping. Right. I was like, hoping. Well, I was. So Adam called me crying, right? And I was like, Adam, we're never going to defeat Aaron Immol. This isn't our battle. All right?

He's won the war. We've got to get out of there. You know? I can't live like this. It feels like there's an ankle lock around me. I can't move. I'm not free. Please.

We're going to call a truce on this one. So what did you guys do after? Just seethe? What did you do? Yeah, well, there's a lot of seething. And then the coping. The coping happened. I'm not sure which order it was, to be honest with you.

I have one more clip on here. This I find hysterical. Aaron before Memorial Day weekend, he has the kids. Now, Aaron claims he has 50% custody of his children. He doesn't pay a ton of child support. Don't ask me why I know that. Oh, because he tells. tells us. And so

in order to not pay a lot in child support, he has 50% custody and he's got the kids for the big Memorial Day weekend and his parents have a cottage by the lake. So it's his turn to take these brats to the cottage.

Fuck. What is, are we SP and I are trying to figure out this weekend and how much time to spend at the lake? It's going to be such a dog shit day. My cousin and I were texting. he's like are your kids because like he has kids a little younger than mine and he's like are you going to the cabin tomorrow and like i really don't want like the kids want to but it's going to be literally raining all day and be like 50 degrees so i really don't want to go tomorrow's like neither do i but my kids really want to go these poor parents you know you got to spend time with their children indoors they can't just get out of the boat and go ignore them and stuff so erin's very

very upset about this. He has to spend time with his children at the cottage. And I think what he was trying to say was, if you tell me yours aren't going, I can convince mine not to get. It's like, what are you going to do? Are you going to sit in the cabin? Or are you going to sit in Grandma and grandpa's camper? And we're just going to sit inside doing nothing.

I mean, you could probably play games with your kids. I don't know. Converse a little bit, get to know them. Karaokey is one of his favorite activities with the kids. Study the Bible. Learn about Catholicism? That's a good point. Yeah. you converting your kids over to Catholicism? You could show them your picture books about trains.

What did you think? And I'm not a parent. And many of us aren't in this room. But autism. Wouldn't you think that if you only saw your kids 50% of the time and they don't really live with you full time, that you'd be like excited to have like a rainy shut-in day? Hey, we're all trapped in here together. Let's spend some quality time, kids.

Let's watch a movie. Let's play a board game. Let's do something. And they're like, this fucking sucks. I have to spend time with my fucking kids. So my cousin, your kids suck too, right? You all too. Can we both agree that our kids suck?

We don't want to be with them? If he had friends, if he had one friend to share this with, I don't think this is the character he would be putting out onto the internet. I think he would realize this is not a Catholic, good, upstanding, newly freed from jail citizen looking to turn his wife around. He just sounded like a spoiled dick. I thought a guy like you would be competitive with his ex to like show them a better time. So they want to spend more time with you. I don't know anything other than ungrateful. Especially because the kids are like, we want to go to the couch.

Like the weather's going to suck. Yeah, but we love the cottage. We want to go there. Fuck. If only the kids were watching this. Yeah, right. Well, it gets worse when we hear about Aaron's parenting style. Inside doing nothing all day today.

Instead, we could be at home. We could eat something nice. We could pack all the stuff we want, get all our chores done in the morning. Listen to this. This is not a good selling point for these kids who want to go to the cottage. Or, here we out. What if you all did chores at my house? Who wants to go to bed early?

I'll race you to sleep. You know, because like my son dropped his tablet recently. We had to get him a new tablet. and to kind of teach him a lesson about dropping his tablet, he has to do $20 a month. That's what his new tablet is, worth of work. Okay. This is wild.

Aaron's son dropped his tablet. Who's dropped their tablet before? All right. We've all dropped their tablets. To teach him a lesson, he has to do $20 worth of work every month. How much is this tablet? Well, he's going to tell us how why he's going to go on for her.

And so he picks up Gordy's poop in the back. He has to clean up dog shit. Yard, every weekend, he picks up Gordy's poop. And I told him you're going to do that for the next two years now. 24 months he's on duty duty. What did he do? Like, finance the tablet? I guess so.

What the fuck, bro. Dude, this is just Aaron being such a late. horrible dog owner. He's like, I don't want to fucking clean up this dog shit. I'll just let it accumulate over the week. And then when my son gets here, I let him clean it all up. Yeah, I don't think the tablet costs that much. I just think there's that much dog shit in the back area.

Two years worth. Yes. The fact that that's a punishment, not already like a part of the everyday routine that goes on. Like punishment is for something unique, not for the daily things that the family does. It's a thing that Aaron doesn't want to do. So we found a way to make it so now. son's problem. If this kid had an actual iPad, he'd be hosting Steeltoe morning show to make it up to him.

We're going to do a midday show during the summer with my son. And that's going to be your payment for dropping your tablet. And so, like, he can get that done tomorrow morning. We can get all our clothes packed, spend three lovely days and nights at the cabin. But we don't have to go when it's fucking, gray and rainy and cold as shit. Shit, forget that. Forget that. Yeah, there's no basement to escape to.

Why would I want to be in the cabin with my kids? We'd probably be in the same room together. Can you imagine? Well, the kid doesn't even have a tablet to keep himself occupied. He's going to be talking to me the whole time. Plus, his hand smell like shit. I don't give anything to pick up the poop with. You can't eat at the table.

Part of the punishment. You can't eat at the table. Pass me the corner of the cop. Not you. You don't pass anything. Oh, no, they're putting oranges in the chat now because I'm talking about my weekend. No! Such a good actor.

Riveting stuff. Anyway, that's our buddy, Aaron Imholt, who sometimes gives us more information than he should. Artie Fletcher is a stand-up comic. He's owned comedy clubs, or not owned, I guess he ran comedy clubs. Into the ground. Yes, into the ground. I got to attend a show at the club that he had here in Rochester for a short time that was at the hotel by the airport, which is always the nicer of the hotels.

It's one of those hotels right now. If you go on YouTube and look at Urban Explorers, it's one of those places that's like abandoned and people go through it just to like film it. It is disgusting. Yes, and I got to see Jim Forentine there, thanks to Artie Fletcher, getting a comedy club going there. and Artie's not just a guy who runs comedy clubs, like most people who work in comedy clubs,

he also thinks he's a comic. And Vinny, you've told me before, and I don't know if this is true or not, but you've told me that Artie puts everything he's ever done online, every TV commercial, any time he's a dead body on law and order, any time he's doing anything. He would kill to a bed of dead body on law and order, Carl.

I know. He was the guy who found the body, and then immediately walked out of frame, was never seen again. And won an Emmy for that. Nominated. Nominated guys. He didn't win.

You can check that. Why is he holding an Emmy in so many of the promos then? Promotional flyers. He's always holding on to an Emmy at him. Because he's a liar, Carl. Did he steal it from the winner? He beat her up. All right.

So I was very excited that Vinny gave me a choice when we had the creep off on Monday. He said, I got Vinny on morning shows with Gallagher promoting their show. I've got this thing, that thing. And he said, I got a bunch of stand up. I say, stand up. I got to see Ardy Fletcher stand up because this is what I'm amazed by. Artie Fletcher thinks he's great at this.

Now, what I want to do real quick is just give everybody a reminder of how Artie comes out at the beginning of this set because we watched a minute or two of this set before, but this is just a reminder of the most douche, douche, douch, cringy thing

you'll ever see in your life. your daughters and your wallet. He has been seen on. Law and Order, criminal intent. David Letterman, Conan O'Brien, the Howard Stern Network. Network.

Actor, comedian, talk show host, and best-selling author. Now, show some love for Artie Fletcher. Take out the music. I took the music out for you. Yeah. But basically what he's doing is the Ricky Jervais office thing. He was trying to get everyone to...

Oh, yeah. Everyone's going to start dancing in their suits. The fire chief. And I just have to live. And I... The fireman. I'm completely... No, worse.

Sing a lot. Come on. I like that these people are there for Gallagher. So they all have their plastic on top of them. Yeah. But they probably saw him like, he's a spitter. Plastic up. It's definitely useful if you're in the front row on it.

show. I don't need his pizza on me right now. The greatest comment I saw on the last video he did when he was sitting there wearing the red shirt in the same hat, but somebody said, this guy looks like the skipper, but dresses like Gilligan. And this one, he's dressed like the skipper. So, yeah. Think this time around. All right, is that enough of that? Sure. I just want everybody to see the energy that he comes out with. He really thinks he's a hot shot fucking comic. He's getting everybody into the music with him. Can I ask a question? I know this is pretty typical. that's similar they went through a lot of credits right there.

People are already at the show. Right. So am I going to be impressed by the credits? Or can you just like do your act and I'll be impressed by that? I've thought about that with us. Why does he do that? And I believe that it has to do with the fact that no one knows who the fuck he is. Right.

And he's on a show. He should just go out there and be, hey, I'm already on the host tonight. Love doing comedy. It'd be more natural. But for him, he has to feel like he's a superstar and belongs. Right. This is like a soul for his ego. But you got nowhere to go but down when you brag.

Right, because if I'm in the audience, and sometimes I am in the audience of comedy shows, and I hear he was on lawn order. I'm like, oh, this is going to be a pisser. I'm not to my wife. I'm like, oh, get ready to laugh. Honey, wake up. Well, Chris, you're right. There is only one way to go from here.

Timber. Let's start off with just a joke where you kind of see Artie's chain of thought here. Just listen to how he structures stuff. It's bizarre. So you probably saw Gallagher and I around town. We got to go to, well, I love this place. It was a candy store. Right on Main Street, the main drag, where you're near where you live?

Oh, I'm diabetic, too. Seriously. I quit smoking and I'll tell you, he quit. I'm just stupid. I'm from New York. I've done some dumb things. I started smoking at 37. The kid just looked at him.

he goes, what an idiot. You know, and it's, because you don't want to gain the weight, you know, because I used to be at Chippendale. Kids laughing. Now McLeod'sdale. The kid's laughing. That kid got a laugh when he pointed to me, but he goes, that kid said I'm an idiot. That everyone was like, ha, ha, ha, yeah, you are. Yeah.

Nobody was going with any of it. That was impossible to follow. There's a candy store near your house. I'm diabetic. He loves it. I quit smoking. But he started smoking. That's already show.

This is what it is, Carl. He cannot keep on track because he's not a comic who has a set. Oh, he's not? Correct. He has a lot. I feel like you should, right? You would think so. That'd be a smart thing to do.

He just goes out there and talks and blathers and has a couple of jokes that probably aren't his. And I'll give you examples of that later. Okay. Let's go with number two. Artie loves the vets. Okay. Well, the vets are here. All the vets. God bless you.

Gallagher and I love the vets. We love the vets. We love the first responders. That's why we, every city we go to, we give them tickets. They make a difference in all our lives. It's only a papered room.

It's such a paper group. I mean, don't I admit to that. Every city we go to, we give out free tickets. Because he's trying to be a bit, show everybody how generous and great he is. We love the troops so much. But you know who he doesn't like Carl? Here comes the joke.

Oh, okay. Here we go. The cops. Yeah. I love cops, too. As a kid, they confused me a lot. I was 18. You were allowed to drink in New Jersey.

Cop would pull you over. You know how fast you were going? No. Evidently not fast enough. You caught me. Wait, what was the drinking at 18? How did that tie into the punchline? It doesn't.

He just stinks. He's just saying stuff. Could you do me a favor? Just watch the very end of that. that again when that joke doesn't go over. His move is just pitiful. Watch this. Evidently not fast enough, you caught me.

He's like, it's not getting better than this guy. Yeah, that was my best. If you're not laughing at that one, I don't know what to tell you. I was coming out of my skin watching this car. I'm going to break up in presentation. It really does show you what's going on in his mind. No matter how bad he's bombing, he's thinking, what is wrong with you? Yes, exactly. God bless you, Adam.

All right. So we played on WTP. And I should point this out. My buddy Drew Lane's been talking about how much he loves the Artie Fletcher stuff. I'm loving it as well. I love that you're finding all this old material. We have a bonus show. If you're on our YouTube or Patreon, you first introduced us to Artie Fletcher on a bonus show that we did, Vinny.

Right. That's fantastic. And we've been getting people reaching out to us. And one of them happens to be Artie's former roommate, Chuck. And Chuck is here in the green room. I'm going to bring him on in just a second. But before I do that, I want to remind everyone the story that already told me he was on this morning show down in Tampa. So here's the best story for you guys.

I had an apartment with Florentine. The residual checks, 200, 100, I would put them on a wall. I tell my room, I'm going to put these all cover. We're going to cover the whole wall. And then I'm going to poll a urethane the wall. I get a call from the union like eight months later, payroll right, in California. Mr. Fletcher, what are you doing your resistance? Chas. Yeah, man, I'm proud of those. I'm putting a nigga, no, you got to cash him.

Right. So I don't want to take them all off the wall. So tell my other roommate Chuck McGenelley, go, Chuck, take those off the wall, I'll give you half. Damn. Of whatever it is. I figure it's like three, four dollars. It was more like $1,700. Wow. So if you were waiting. Cool story, man. So, these are residual checks from commercials. I don't believe. He's got roommates. I don't believe this happened. Okay. So, Vinny's response to that was, I don't believe this happened.

And Chuck reached out to us, and he is here with us now. What's happening, buddy? Good to see you. Hey, guys. For some reason, my earphones are not working right now because you can give me a second. Yeah, of course we can give you a second. I don't know why, just put a new battery in. Okay.

This is terrible. I was hearing you guys perfectly, and then all of a sudden this thing went out. Let me go get another battery. Okay. One second. Sounds good. You know, my thought about that after is that if it was that much money, like he ended up saying it was like $1,700. Yeah.

Why did you bust out the polyurethate at that point? That's not a wall covering amount, Artie. No, it's not. It's not that impressive. And the other part that you picked up on immediately when I was rewatching that clip just now is the fact that he's bragging about how much money he has two roommates in the apartment. Yes. Yes. Well, I was making so much money off he clips gum.

Not that much. house with a family with two roommates. Ron the waiter is like spitting out his cereal in the morning, looking at him covering the walls with this. You knew it was a lie because they called him Mr. Fletcher. That doesn't happen. Right. Mr. Fletcher, why aren't you catching these residuals? We're concerned. The Screen Actors Guild is calling Mr. Fletcher about less than $2,000 worth of unclaimed residuals that go into your unclaimed property department and then go to the state at no point to SAG reach you out, even if they've been sitting there for years. They don't call you and help you with this.

That's not their problem. All right. Chuck is back. He's got new batteries. Can you hear us now, John? I am. I can. How are you doing, gentlemen? I'm fantastic.

I'm so glad you reached out. I can't wait to hear about this. I wanted to get your reaction from that story where $700 worth of checks, you went and cashed him for him, and then he split the money with you. No, no. That never happened. What? Vinie comments.

No, there was never a time whenever these checks were put on the wall, and I haven't seen a bit of that $1,700, I could tell you. The only thing he actually had on the wall were, like, pictures of signed, like signed celebrities that he met over the years, but it was never, I never saw a nickel of that money. I was like Forrest Gump. So why does he make up a story like that? Make a wicked?

He just always would brag about himself in front of everybody. Like, you know, it's like whenever I first moved to New York to pursue stand-up, he would, I mean, it's just like you would say hi to him. And then he just, he carried the whole conversation. It was over. It was like, I, you know, Roger had me on a threeway with Marta, and they're going to bloop me for this. And I'm, he just never, you're just basically when you sit next to him, you're going, uh-huh.

Yeah. That's, that's interesting. That's why. Yeah. It seems like he, he has a lot of names to. Drop. I was surprised he dropped mine. I'm like, nobody listened to it knows who the hell I am.

It's like, my roommate Chuck McGinnelly. I'm like, why would you say. me like I'm nobody and everything I'm saying man I was like what the hell am I what are you dragging me into your bullshit for you would have just said my roommate at the time then you could have been like yeah maybe that was someone else I don't know about

but he said your name is like that's not true I think it was a diving board to say Jim Florentine it allowed him to drop that name as well yeah anytime he gets a chance I mean like nobody like me he's dropping my name so Vinny I think you had some questions because you've worked with Ardy for

quite some time. You know I'm better than anyone else in this room. Chuck, it's really nice to meet you, man. Pleasure. It's pleasure, guys. Thanks for having me on. A mutual friend of ours called me today to specifically tell me things to ask you about. So, yay! So, I just got to ask you this question, though, before I ask you those things, you lived with Artie, you saw how often he worked, you saw him leave, you saw his day-to-day goings on. How pathologically insane do you think he is? I mean, I was telling a lot of people I was going to be on this show and they're like, what about?

And I said, my roommate was a pathological liar. I was like, I was just talking about a guy I lived with that lied about everything. Like that person that you're talking about right now years ago, they was doing a show upstate New York. And this is just how quick it rolls off his tongue. Like they walked into a club and they said, Artie, you look like you put on weight. And he goes, I'm going to doing a movie with Brooke Shields. It just kept walking.

It just came that fast. It's like usually, you know, there's another one. This is pretty funny. He got booked down in Houston. He was doing a show. And he was telling this person that we're talking about, can I, should I say his name or you're just kidding? Go ahead.

He was telling Jim. He was telling Jim, he goes, yeah, they got me a renter car. And Jim's like, really? He goes, yeah, they bugged me a renter car. So the next day he calls Jimmy, he goes, eh, radio never picked me up to take me to the studio. That's exactly right. And Jim goes, well, Artie, what about the redder card?

He's like, rent a car, rent a car, oh, it's got a flat. I couldn't go. It's like that quick. Like he had to think like, what lie did I tell? What lie did? Oh, oh, yeah. But, I mean, it was just nonstop with me. Like, I was a pretty high energy comic.

Like, I was like a mix between, I guess, High Mandela and Sam Kinnison. Like, I was just a maniac on stage. And when he would take me to open for him and I'm not toot my own bugle, but he would have a rough time following me. I would think they have a more time following anyone. Yeah, and he would go up to the managers of the club and go, yeah, you've got to tell him this guy not to yell so much and tell him to tone it down a little bit.

Yeah, that's what I want to know about. He would sabotage your sets. Yeah, and he would go up to the manager, and I'd be like, why? This guy doesn't even know who I am. Like, seriously, like, I was a middle feature. This guy has never heard of. Like, how would he know? So I walked up to the manager, and I'm going, so I have to tone it down,

and I have to bring it down a couple of inches. He's like, no, no, go out and do what you do. It's fine. He said, where would you hear that? I said, well, Artie told me. And he goes, and he just walked away. Like, I didn't say that. Come on, please. You know, and there was another, this is one of my favorite stories. We were booked at this real small place up in Glen Falls, New York, was it? But anyway, it's just a small place. And these people were trying to bring entertainment to the area. And they put Artie and I on a show. And the two guys were real overzealous. They were real excited about booking the show and all that kind of thing.

And they took us out to dinner and they met up with us a couple of times. And they were telling me, you know, you're going to do 35 minutes and Artie's going to do 55, whatever. I was like, whatever, because they had a pretty long showbooked. I'm like, a little long, but okay. So we were out to eat and I got up to take my plate back. And this happened like four times. I'm just cutting a long story short, but this happened like four times. He's like, yeah, they told you to just do about 15 or 20.

I'll handle the rest. They changed my time already. So a couple of times I'm going, guys, and I said it in front of the bookers, I'm like, you only want me to do 20 now? And it got to the point where, like, do you have the material? Like, do you have enough time? Like, why do you keep asking us? So I go up that night and just tear it up.

Like, I had a real, real good set, 35 minutes. And while I'm on stage, Artie's in the back giving me the rap. I'm like 15 minutes into my show. And I mean, I kid you not, gentlemen, probably two or three applause breaks in that 15 minutes. Is that what a headliner does, gives the other person the light? Is that their job? back in the room wrapping me up. And I'm looking at my timer.

I'm like, looking down, I'm going, I'm living up here 15 minutes. I got 20 more to go. Like, why is he? So he just got wrap, wrap it up. And finally, I'd had enough because that's distracting. I mean, you know, is somebody doing that to you in the back of the room? You're like, so finally, I'm like, already what? What's the problem?

What do you want? And he just ducks into the kitchen. And I finished my set. And it was like, after I was done, all he had to do. It was like Trump said to Biden, just go to the beach. It's all he had to do. You know, just go to the beach. and he gets up on stage and how does he start a set.

I was on Law & Order. I was on the street to San Francisco. I was on Starsky and Hodge. Like he just starts bragging about himself. And he brought the crowd down to here. Yep. So he tries to get him back. He's like, let's do a shot.

Let's do a shot. So everybody's like, okay, we'll do a shot. So I bring the shots up and the crowd goes crazy again. They're like, oh, yeah, woo. And they're losing their minds. We do the shot and I'm leaving. And the guy in the front row goes, where are you going? And I'm like, I'm done.

I'm just, I just came up to do a show. I said, he says, this guy sucks. And he said it really loud and already, like, looks down at him. And he just, he knows how to like, what did Pesci say, just how to fuck up a cup of coffee? Yep. And he just, he did that a lot. Like every show I went to with him, he, like you said, would sabotage my act and try to get me to not do well.

Can I just say, um, professionally how bad it is to tell somebody to do a different time than the bookers told you? Yeah. Do you realize how bad that? Like, if these people were meat or assholes, he actually listened to Artie and came off 20 minutes earlier, 15 minutes early. He's losing money. Yeah, for sure.

It's such a dirtbag thing to do. It must be a compliment to you, Chuck. You must be a good comic because I think if you weren't doing well, he wouldn't be doing any of that or feel like he had to handicap you so you're not as good as him. I mean, I'm not in the business anymore, but when I was getting into it and I was trying to. Well, not great, but, you know, better than Artie. But what I'm saying is I had guys like Jim Florentine, Jim Norton, going to bat for me, taking me to open for them saying, we'll help you fill your schedule. Especially, mostly, you know, I can't say mostly, but both of them really made sure I was taking care of when I moved out there.

But none, neither, like I opened for both of those guys. And neither one of them, Jim and Jim would say, all right, just don't do this and don't do that. Just go do what you do. And, you know, it was fine. The confident. And I was just always wondering, like, and then Artie's good comeback was every time he would do so, I was like, ask Jim. Ask Jim, you know, ask Jim. And I'm like, I'd ask Jim.

Jim would have no idea. Like, I don't know why he's having you asking me that. It's dumb. Did you ever ask him why he lit you early? Did you ever say to him, what was the deal with that? You know what? This was so long ago. I think he knew.

I just, after the show, he had women around. So I guess it probably just escaped him. He was excited that there was broads around. So he just didn't, you know. Chuck, I want to keep you on. We're going to watch some more of Artie's stand-up routine. I love for you to help us crack wise. as we analyze the comedy stylings of one Archie Fletcher.

These guys don't understand what PTSD this can be. They really don't know how awful. Remind me to tell you when we come back about his CD, but go ahead. Oh, okay, yes. We got a copy of that coming, by the way. We're going to have you on for 20 minutes, but now we're just going to have you on for 10 minutes. Oh, I got a whole boatload of stories to tell you. Oh, good, okay.

Chuck. Get off the stage. What, Vinny, what? You want to go to clip three, many? What's that? Yeah, so I call this clip Hackamania because there's a lot of things that hack comedians like to do jokes about. It already does pretty much the hat trick during this segment. Let's start with this one.

Let's talk about his colonoscopy. Just like when you get older. What are the doctors who are obviously goes, you're of that age now. You have to get a chlamostophy. Can you spell that? Or say it. What is that? He goes, we're going to put a camera up your rectum.

I don't think so. 20 years ago, maybe on a dare, but I... Maybe. He goes, we gotta check your calling. Like, what happened in the white glove and the two fingers? I was good with that, right, big guy? $75, I look forward to it. Once a year, the doctor you see, as a kid.

He's gotta put those fingers up there. And you gotta mess with them, because now I'm older. You know, I'm looking at him. I'm winking. No, you're okay. That should keep the glove, you know. Oof.

Well, would you like to know how that joke ends everybody? I sure do, but I just want to point out that John Melendez, who claims he's not a hack, has the colonoscopy's a real pain in the ass joke. Oh, yeah. Surprised that one didn't enter into that set. This is the domain of every hack middle-aged comedian. Let's go number four, Carl. Let's see how he wraps this up nicely. So I go, whoa.

How much is that? $2,000 for colonoscopy. I go, so you're going to bring a camera crew behind my ass, and you're going to take pictures. You're going to bring scaffolding in and stuff? I'm going to bend over. Yeah, this is a good deal. Maybe at happy hour you should do this,

but no I go how much is it he goes $2,000 you got that yeah well what do you say we cut up the middle man how about if I run over the Walgreens by a throwaway camera I'll shove it up my ass trollway click

click click click here's your film how's that you know what I mean see how I am I think use my head wow that audience is dead by the way

There are children there And their parents are probably sitting Next to them and they don't know what to do about this When he starts bust out the colonoscopy jokes Everybody's like, thank God we have the tarps How does he say it? Colonosphony Colony

Colonystophy Yeah So that's up at the end I got to tell you something real quick This is pretty fun Years ago Vinny, do you remember Ray Garvey? Ray Garvey was he owned a comedy club

And he owned a comedy club in Brooklyn. It was called Pips. And Jim Fourntine got me in with him. And he was booking a show down at the Borgata Casino. And it was just a quick 10-minute show. It was a tag team show. I'd go up and do 10 minutes and I bring the next guy on. I bring the next guy on and it's over.

Because, you know, casinos, they don't want you away from the tables for too long. So I had done it. Like, I did it once a year. I paid a thousand bucks for 10 minutes every night. I mean, you couldn't beat it, right? Got put up at the place. Well, Artie was jealous that he wasn't getting this. So I go home and on the search engine, it said brogata.

So it's B-O-R-G. He was searching B-R-O-G. And he's like, I come home. He goes, what's the name of that place? I was looking for you. And I'm going, it's the Borgata. Because I've been walking that way. And I'm like, I don't know what to tell you.

Then I go in the search thing. And I'm like, oh, you dumb ass, it's not Brogata. It's Borgata. But when I first moved down there, when I first moved down there, like I said, they were trying to get me some stage time. So they took me over to Pips. Now Pips was, It's a tough Brooklyn crowd.

You know, just get your feet wet. New York, it's good to go over and do that. So, Ray, may he rest in peace. He lifted jokes, too, but he didn't, you know, I don't want to say his whole act, but a lot of times he would lift his sack. So Artie was so busy talking about himself in the corridor during the show that Ray went up in front of him and did Artie's whole act. How long did that take?

Carlos Mencia move. But what I'm saying, I don't say his whole, but he did like 15 minutes of his stuff. That's funny. Of his, like, main stuff that he does. So Artie, like, give it up for New York City's bad boy, already flushed. So Artie goes up and he's doing these jokes and the crowd is just going, the other guy just did that. Like, you still get in his jokes. The other guy, Arty was just like, ugh, and good night.

And he just leaves and just forms out of the club. Garvey was pissing himself. He's like, why would you do that? It's like in his bio, how he adjusts to any situation and any crowd. Like, he lasted probably three and a half, four minutes. He's like doing, he took my airlines. jokes. I'm like, they're not your airline jokes. They're everybody's airline jokes. They're pretty much public domain already. I mean, like you said, there's like the hack thing, like the topics that you

don't talk about. Like, he was still doing John Bobbitt jokes when I left. What year did you live? Well, he moved out. I stayed, I lived with him from about seven years. Jesus. Like from 2000 to 2007. And it got to the point where like when I finally got to know him, I would go straight back to my bedroom and just stay there because I otherwise I got to listen to him talk about all the three ways he had on the phone call with this person and they're booking him here and he's the only guy like if you ever if you

know I'm talking about he's the one guy that tells you how much he's getting for every show yep. I got him $1,200 Roger got me a corporate for $5,000 that I'm won. Then why are you trying to borrow money from me? Chuck, I was just I was just done with Drew Lane yesterday. We were talking about Artie Fletcher and I go again

he's like Slythering Johnny has to tell you how much money he made like there was a gum commercial he did And Drew just yells out, $74,000. I'm like, yes, we all know the exact amount of money already claims he made. I reminded Jim Florentine to this. When he got that, SAG after was on strike. So he crossed to get it. So that wasn't even a union paying gig.

So there's no way he got that kind of money. So that's why he got the job. That's why he got that gig. And Vinny, and he had to fly to Canada to shoot it. It was a Canadian commercial. I knew I had heard that. It wasn't a Canadian commercial. they had to because since sag after was on strike they shot it up in Canada and they aired it down here so he wasn't there was no like big residual because it was a national commercial

Adam is sitting right now he made like made like 1500 bucks tops you know so you ever see him get called and there's no residuals for that because he's not in the union did you ever see him get called out for his credits at a bar or by someone who's like I worked on law yeah yeah there was there was what would he do when somebody questions that or accuses him of line well and this this this didn't happen to me It's a Jim Florentine story, but I remember him telling me. They were at some VFW just on some kind of one nighter. And Jim was sitting on one side of the bar and already sitting on the bartender. And I heard her, I heard it. Jim goes, the bartender goes, oh, you're so full of shit. That never happened. Bullshit.

And she comes over and she says, Jim, Jim, tell her I was on days of our lives. And she goes, I want to show every day. And you were never on there. I'm telling you, I've seen every episode. This guy's full of shit. Boy, I'm down. Yeah. Roger got it for me.

You know, but yeah, he got called out a couple times in front of that. Not so much me, I don't know, because we would go to places where people just believed them. You know, they believed that he got what he got. Yeah, it has a big impact in the Midwest, and they just treat you differently. Yeah, they're just very excited. Well, there was one time where he was dating a younger girl,

and Jim was out with Bob Levy. They were all out somewhere. And this new girl who was dating says, Ardy, Artie, tell the guys, who were you? Who were you golfing with? Who? And Artie was like, Perry Como. He's like saying it under his breath.

Perry Como. And she's like, oh, yeah. Like, you tell the guys you were golfing with Perry Como the other day. And Artie's like, Jim's like, yeah, you never told us that. Why didn't you just like bullshit? And like, the thing is like, why would you tell a young girl that you fucking golfed with Perry Combo? He has no fucking idea who Perry Como is.

Like, say, you know, say that Chester Bennington or something that you went golfing with the guy that was saying for Lincoln Park, not frigging Perry Como. Yeah, nobody, I think that he tries to be sneaky with these lies. Like, he says shit that he thinks people can't fact check. Like, I don't know.

Because there seems like no rhyme or reason to it, right? Can we get for renting on here and ask him why he loves compulsive liars? What is what I get? What are they? Surround himself with these people. What are you five years old? Stop. He was like, already was funny.

Like, he did goofy. shit like i remember there was a comedy club over in staten island called circles and i got canceled one night my weekend got i was my weekend got canceled i'm sitting online it's about 11 30 at night he brings this really hot blonde home okay and i'm just sitting online already comes out after he bangs this girl bare ass naked and stands with his hands on his hips just starts pumping his erection toward me just like being goofy and shit like that just like he would do stupid like that but you know he just He's like, nor do you live with them for seven years.

Oh, and he would streak through the apartment. That's more than goofy. That's, uh, yeah, he would, he would streak through the apartment sometimes just to be stupid.

It's that kind of stuff. Like, we got, we were coming home from Florida one time and, um, we both got bumped up to first class because we kept, you know, if anybody has flexible travel plans and we would do that. So already sat like in the back of the plane.

I sat in the front and first class. Well, I'm sitting there getting my stuff together and this real old lady's coming down. He's like, oh. oh oh because every time he saw a hot girl he would do that so i'm like i get up and look and there's this old lady with a walker walking down the thing i'm like jesus already so he would he would just do goofy shit like that that you know that would make me laugh but yeah he should have tried

making people laugh on stage right that yeah you know like that if you know i'm like that he was funny but oh man i almost forgot this one there was a club in shenna uh and and hazleton pa called shenanigans that he booked all the time it doesn't matter who ran it it's cool yeah okay but um We were doing a show there. And after we did the show, they had like a DJ. Now, this is a Saturday night. He had the DJ stop the music to announce to the crowd that he just got signed to William Morris. He just got the phone call, that he got signed to the William Morris Agency.

And I'm thinking nobody in that industry works on a Saturday night to call Artie Fletcher at 10 o'clock at night in Hazleton to let them know that they're signing them. That would have been signed, sealed, and delivered on a Thursday afternoon whenever they're working. But he stopped. And then here's the thing, everybody in the bars look around going, what the fuck is William Morris? Right. Yeah. It's very interesting.

You know, I don't even know what it is. But he thinks everyone's rooting for him. That's good. Ladies and gentlemen, Artie is going to play golf with Perry Cuomo tomorrow. Let's give him around to applause. And he would,

I'm sorry, go ahead. I was going to get back to some of the stand-up here because Vinnie's curated some great clips for us. Some more hack premises. Yeah, here's hack bits. Tell me if you recognize this premise from anyone we know stand-up, Carl.

Number five. All these drugs out. You get older, you know, and they tell you about Seattle to Niagara. You have an erection for four hours more, call your doctor. Just not a man in Topeka or in the world that's calling her doctor. If you've got an erection for four hours

or more Irish, come on. I'm in New York. I'm Mexican. We're calling everybody we know. Eidah, Jose. Is your fat sister home? She's not. What are you?

doing. What I like about it is at the end of it, that was actually some of his better jokes during this. Yeah, yeah. And he still at the end gave up. If you watch it, he's just like, oh. I mean, the idea that every single fucking comic when they

heard, if you're a Russian last four hours, like, oh, I got a new act. I got a new hour. It's put out a special. Yeah. I already got a new hour anytime he went out on the road. You know, he would always come back with it. Every time he went out, like, and this is one thing. Like if I asked Vinny, can you produce your comedy book where you write your bits?

He'd probably hold up three or four of them. Already didn't own one. You never had a comedy book. Like I had like, I don't always go to the drug store to buy another one because it fills up. You just might not even be writing a joke just a premise or something that you had an idea, but he had none of it. There's been books written for him with his jokes. You got to read his book, book, like his bloodshot eye one, whatever the hell. Yeah. You got to read whenever we got into the damn car accident. that was hysterical. Did he ever make an audio version of that? He sat on a show that he was recording one.

I can't find one. No, he was never, I can tell you right now. He was never recording that. I hate reading. Can someone read it to me? But you do have to read it. Like, he made it look like this.

I mean, we walked away from the, from the accident. We got into the ambulance together, you know, with the paramedic. We walked in, no gurney. And in the book, he was laying on his deathbed. How am I? This is my life. How am I going to perform again? I'm like, I'm reading this going.

that what the fuck it this never happened he makes me out to be a big asshole in it oh sweet my roommate my roommate's an asshole he's being real sarcastic i'm like what the fuck that i do i'm like i and then he was mad that i actually got a settlement out of it because i listened to our attorneys and he was running to every doctor for a bruised toe so i could probably feed this thing to AI and get moody to make a already watch your voice oh to read this book to us right yeah okay hey chuck um how uh successful with the ladies, would you say I already was? Well, he was like goofy and funny, so good until they realized how much of a liar he was. Lires do get pussy, by the way.

That's a good point. And if you're insolves out there. That's a really good note to have. He had this one friend from Florida. She was gorgeous. And she flew up to New York. He got her in with Willamina. Like he was like, you know, because she should.

have been in with Willamina. But, I mean, I used to be a pretty good looking guy back in the day, and she took a liking to me. So, like, she wanted to hang out with me the whole time. Like, you know, he was a little pissed off about that. You know, she came up and told me there was going to be boasting. But Artie, really, when he sees a girl that he likes, he's very heavy on the flirting. Would you agree with that? He's persistent.

Like, he just keeps coming at you. Like, he's like that nat in the summertime, like just, you know, and he just keeps until he finally gets something, you know. Yeah. But yeah, he didn't do bad with the women. I will say that. That's what I've always heard, and I still don't understand it. Watch Artie hit on a woman in the audience in this next clip number six.

You know, I like guys. You get older, especially in Florida, everybody's impressed with their bodies and working out. And you see him at the gym. Oh, they're grinding you. I walk in a with a cigarette. How you doing? And I got a hot girlfriend. Now here, Topeka.

She's here someplace. Kim. Kim Fletcher. There she, look at her home. The sister? God. Her mother's kind of blocking me, though. I don't like that.

The German. I'm Italian. Come on. I'll triple your business. What? If I marry into his family, their property goes right up. Boom.

You can have the arty sandwich, the already sandwich. Allen. You know what I'm saying? No. You have no Chinese restaurant here. I didn't see one. What the fuck? What just happened? He zoh did not be in hoardy hitting on this woman. Yeah.

Lost the entire audience. Just talked to her about things she would understand because he thinks he's going to get a piece later because he's interrupting the whole show. I thought he was just making that up. There really is a Kim Fletcher? No, he was saying she's going to be my next one. Okay. All right. All right. Kim Fletcher. That makes sense. And you're going to feel really silly when he ties it all back to the candy store on Main Street. Yeah, so where do the Chinese food thing come at? Like, what was the point of that?

Oh, I'll let you know the next clip. He was letting us know. Really? I did not see one. Oh. I love calling the Chinese restaurant no matter what you order. 20 minutes. I'll order like $1,200 worth of shit.

Yeah, 20 minute. We need 20 minutes. No MSG. Oh, that's 22 minute. Oof. Unreal, right? Unreal. You say that, buddy.

Unreal it is. I didn't realize you could order a special no MSG. It takes longer than me. I thought Kim was going to be Asian, and that was going to be his guy. Yeah, that would have made sense. No. Nope, too much credit there. This next clip I call.

Can anyone relate to that? No. I ordered $1,200. It was 20 minutes. That is what happens. Chuck, can you verify that he orders $1,200 for the Chinese food kickout? I can verify that he light his ass off. I could do that.

All right. I call this next clip, Disjointed Mass. Did he mention he's Italian? But driving here, I flew into St. Louis. They say people in New York drive like shit? No. You're right up there. Believe me.

In Florida, you got a daily drive. I was, like, I, like, I'd, 70, 80 miles an hour. I had a guy in a wheelchair pass me. So I'm Italian. God bless my mother. She's Italian mustache, cybirds. What the fuck was that? I'm Italian.

My mom's got a mustache. Hold on. I was a Cessarian. He flew into St. Louis. People in New York can't drive. It's worse in St. Louis. But in Florida, he drives pretty fast, but not fast enough. Like, what? None of that connected.

He actually got pulled over in Hazleton, PA for a DUI. Oh, I love the story. You heard Jim just, he, he was only like a mile away. He talked to cop into letting him go. The guy was like, all right, just get home. And he puts the car in reverse and back into the police car. I had to arrest him for DUI. That's like, you had it.

I mean, like, dude, you were right at home plate. I mean, like, and he just, he fell six times before crossing and then got tagged out. I mean, it's, oh, like, how do you get that? Like, I don't know. I don't even what to say about that. Jim just told me that story. And I'm like, I can't honestly believe that that actually happened. Yeah, he seems like a together kind of guy. This next joke, everyone, is a, I will file this one under public domain. I cannot tell you how many hacks I have heard do this exact same joke. I've heard this joke a million times, but already put a very special anti-Semitic twist at the end.

Enjoy. Sorry. But we're talking about the gym, so I'll go in there. So I go, I go, look, I got a really high girlfriend. I've lost all this weight. I want to impress her. Which one of these machines would really impress her? He looked at me and he goes, the one at the cornerback there. I go, which one? He gets one. This is 8 p.m.

How do you know it was eight and a half Jew? Any Jews here? Not anymore. You paid good. I'm only kidding. Then I meet these two down here. Jesus Christ. I met these two Jews down here.

I like it what Mark Norman does. Any Jews in here? We got them. Why do you have to say it was a half Jew? I don't know. Because he thinks it's funnier. Yeah, okay. Yeah, he's pretty dumb, though, so it's not.

What I like about the way, this is, nearing the end of his 15 minutes set, Carl. And this is an important time for him to plug some things that are important to him and hit on Kim Moore. Okay. So, how many people

are on Facebook? You got to like our fan page. Jokes on you, Comedy Tour, like our, because it'll tell people we were here. Okay, so there's 12. But you've got to look at Gallagher's page. Gallagher, I'm going to be check his pages out there.

It's good. He puts poems and songs and that's Leo Gallagher. So, yeah, make sure you look at that. And we like when you comment. You can take pictures. We don't really... We're old. In the world.

Pictures, videos. Clash your boobs. Kim. Rumble rads. What else much is he going out about? Facebook. Is he? obviously not trying to sell Gallagher's page.

There's poems and songs. Does he smash a waterbelt at some point? What the fuck do I care about that? He recorded a live CD years ago and I was living with him. And he was ready. Like he had them all printed. He had them all boxed off.

And he had those little, little, you know, envelopes. And he had them all filled out, ready to mail out. He sold one. One. Oh, no. He was like I'd come home and he's sitting there, filling him out, like filling in the package. He had them all packed.

He had probably like 75 to 100 of them stacked ready to go. And then I came home after, you know, I was gone a week. I come back and it's still stacked up there. He didn't sell any. I'm like, don't worry. Sales will pick up. Meanwhile, he like, you know, he always thought he was on the level of a Jim Florentine because Jim's terrorizing telemarketer CDs.

It was so busy for me. He had to have his brother, you know, do his mailing because he was so busy. doing stand-up, he didn't have time to mail them out. So he was constantly pressing off cutting new CDs, cutting comedy CDs, because he's just so much better. And Artie just thought he was on that level. And I'll never forget coming home after a week. And those things are still, he actually, Artie would sit on an airplane with his headshots. And he would pull the tray table down and autograph his headshots to get somebody to ask him, what are you doing? Who are you? Like, why are you doing that? Just so he got, I'm an actor.

he could be flying home from frigging, you know, Boise, Idaho. I was just shooting a movie, you know, anything to, you know. He's in the back of coach. I'm a big celebrity. Like, okay, sure you are. Hey, you brought up. You do it in Boise, Idaho, so no one can fact check you at all. And it just sounds right.

Yeah. I want to throw Chuck a plug on something real quick. You brought up terrorizing telemarketers. Chuck, I didn't know this until today. You were on my absolute favorite one of those calls. It's on volume two. It's called Grandpa Gets a Bath. Oh, that's a great one.

Chuck played Grandma. No shit. Had no idea until today. One of my favorites. Terrizing telemarketers, go listen to it. It's amazing. Volume two. That was a fun call.

So Carl, skip number 11, because I think I duplicated a track. Hit number 12. This is his closer of this set, everybody. He's got to finish up big. So tonight's going to be a night. You're not going to forget. You were the smart people who came, Whether you pay for tickets or not, you came.

Jesus Christ! Tell me there's no one there, they'll tell me there's no one there. Ignore all the empty seats. You guys are the smart ones who are here. In Sanfow, those two old guys, they still got it because we can't believe it. So we like to create a party.

That's what we're all about at this stage of the game. You've got to have candy, we got it. You got to have cake, we got it. Got it. Got to have streamers. You got all that. I'm party artie, evidently.

You've got to have the party master Gallagher. Felger Gallagher. Y'all ready to get this started? Oh, no. Okay. Hold on a second. That was just going to anything started? I thought it started 15 minutes ago.

He was coming out. They pumped up music. So, I had to pick the right music. I flipped through your channels. A lot of country bullshit. going on here. I want to piss the Mexican off. He'll swim home. The Irish guy, he's

drunk, he still can't believe he's here. I'm the fire chief where? Oh, my God, my lucky charms. Oh, no. And that's where the video cuts off. Right before he brings Gallagher. That was artist closer, casual racism to the people

in the front row, everybody. It's good stuff. Just the most hack stereotype jokes possible. I did bring you something else. It's truly astounding. I've never seen anything like this, Carl. Should we save it for the next time? No. Okay. It's too good. And it's quick.

They're very quick. What I did is I cut up about three minutes of video, Carl, and the smaller clips. Okay. This is from Pittsburgh. I was trying to tell you about how already toured with jokes on you comedy tour and he would do local television. This particular

station, instead of doing a sit-down interview with Gallagher, Bob Nelson and Artie Fletcher. What he did, Carl, what they did was they let them perform the jokes on you on their stage in the studio so poorly that the cameraman has no idea

how to film it or shoot it. And fans, I'm not letting him put this behind a paywall. This is for you tonight, kids. Okay, this is morning television. So let's just start off with 13 so you can see how they introduce it because, again, this is all about Gallagher and Artie has crammed his way into it.

Okay. legendary comedian Gallagher is here getting ready to hang up his famous legomatic but not before one last smashing stop here in our area we'll talk with Gallagher and friend to head this hour. That had to kill Artie, right Chuck? I'm from Pittsburgh. I know these people. Oh, Jesus. That's where I'm from. That's Katie Ki-A news.

I know exactly that I watch them all the time when I'm home. Okay. Well, I'm sure Artie doesn't like being referred to as friends. Right. Oh, no. I'm the headline. I usually headline. That B-roll, too, which is Bob Nelson just chucking fruited people?

Well, I want to go to that show. How fun! Which we are about to see is a fever dream, everybody. Okay. Clip number 14, Carl. Gallagher is now on his farewell tour called The Jokes on You. And he's here with us today, along with two comedian friends on the tour. We welcome Gallagher, Artie Fletcher, and Bob Nelson.

Or should we call them the three amigos? Good morning, guys. Good morning. We're not the three amigos. We're the three musketeers. That's what I think. No, we're the new Marks brothers. No, no, they're the two stooges.

All right, we're off to a good start. Yep. They're going to introduce the bit that they're going to do right now, number 15. I think we're more like Monty Python's flying circus. We do bits and pieces. Bits and pieces, bits and pieces. Bits and pieces. Bits and pieces.

Where can you find a term? with no legs right where you left him. Bits and peace. Carl, it's Arty's turn. Oh, good. He's got a joke for us? Yeah. Hey, why do you know Walmart should I rack? Because they're all torgis. Bits and pieces.

Bits and pieces. I love that joke. Okay. Next question, real quick. What the fuck is Bob Nelson doing, everybody? What is Bob Nelson doing? You didn't get the memo on this one. You know, children who have a well-balanced breakfast before school are the only ones that throw up in gym class.

Bits and pieces, bits and pieces. What is Bob Nelson doing? Is he unaware of his surroundings? Should he be in a home? I don't know what the fuck is happening here, but they're marching around in circles chanting bits and pieces and Bob Nelson is acting like a retarded person. Okay.

Okay. Let's mix it a little casual racism number 18, Carl. You know why we're out of the Middle East? Because Obama's a golfer and he looked like a sand trap. Pets and pieces, Mississippi. Hey, why can't we burn coal? They're burning North Carolina.

That's a good one. Hello. What? Could you imagine being at the news desk watching this going, what the fuck is happening? The producer has got to be looking around and everyone going, what is this? You know, for once we have a professional comedian with us on the show.

So, Chuck, what did it say? A trap joke mean? How do you dislike for that one? I, you know what? He would say, there's a book out there, a guy named Mike Morris put together called Artie Chokes. Yep. And we would have to write down. That's what I was referring to earlier. Yeah. We would have to write down anything he said. So he took me to a college one time and he wrote, he asked a girl about this. He was talking about girl being on her period. And he goes, how many are in a box? How many are in a box when you buy that? And she says, I don't know about 50. 50. What do you guys do? play pickup sticks. Jesus. It's amazing.

That was it. He's amazing. And then he, Rutgers lost to Vermont in football one year. He goes, Rutgers, lose to Vermont. What's their,

what's their mascot, a tree? Jesus Christ. It's amazing. Well, the good news is, guys, already has another chance at a joke right now.

Let's try this one. Yeah. Bits and pieces. Bits and pieces. Hey, listen, I came up an invention. Oh, it is? Oh, it's for women. Women?

It's a pocketbook made of all chameleon, so it goes with anything. It's a pocketbook full of all chameleon? Made from chameleon, so it goes with anything, because it changes color. You get it? Honey, we're going to put that on the fridge. That was really cute. That's cute. I titled this next clip.

No one knows how to film this. Bits and pieces, bits and pieces. I have an invention. Go ahead. Go ahead. You're supposed to interrupt me. No, I got a better one. My invention is for married men.

It's a Playboy magazine. Say female every month. Well, when she gets older. Oh, you just wrinkle the page. Wrinkle the page. Brits and pieces, bits. You're supposed to interrupt me. I got an invention.

Yeah, what do you got there, Gallagher? Asshole. I don't actually have an invention. This is your joke. You're one of the biggest hacks I know. Holy shit. Big finish. Carl. This is brutal. Big finish.

A medicate challenge. Wait a minute. I have a new invention. I'm wearing my underwear as a top. Bits said, pieces. This has been more than a thrill for us. This has been an inconvenience. What fun. Oh, no. They're treating of like elementary school students. Well, that was fun. You guys did a great... I'm going to have to clean all this up now.

I'm going to have to... Wow. Could you imagine that happening just in front of you, watching that these people do this? They're trying to sell tickets to a comedy show. Maddickettian Challenge! That's not the way to do it. I'm going for the fish.

I titled this last clip, Stop. Okay. We're going to talk with them and learn a lot more about your And you know what you're proof that I've always wanted proof of, and here it is right before our very eyes. You never have to grow up. That's right. I won't, bro. I'm going in.

Oh, my goodness. Oh, no. Bob doesn't know what to do with himself. Should we be studying Bob Nelson a little closer on the show? Well, his instincts are right. He's like, I can't do whatever they're doing. But unfortunately, that leaves him really on his own. The camera guy can't film them wherever two goes.

the other goes the other way. It's impossible. Yeah, it's a very bonkers thing that they showed up at this TV station of probably seven in the morning to do. So I just wanted to bring you a taste of the jokes on you comedy tour. I'm sorry, I'll do you missed it. I cannot believe that John leaves and he is replaced by somebody who just in this segment provided every single thing that John Melendez does from picking up, showing you his belly at the end to offending everyone. they're both so similar because they're not comedians.

I don't know what it is, but they just want to be big shots. And that is more important than anything else. And we all have a family member, an uncle or a grandpa, that's the big shot. But these guys try and make a career of it. And since we started covering John Melendez, Chuck, so many people have come up to me and said, you got to check out this guy, Artie Fletcher. You're not going to believe it. and I saw his website, but having seen this, it's just absolutely incredible.

Just one last question. Where does he keep the Emmy? Yes, where is the Emmy in the apartment? Yeah, that's funny. He doesn't have one. But he wasn't nominated for an Emmy, right? No. Oh, no.

No, I'm sorry. That never happened to either. Chuck, did he have a four-season arc on Law & Order Criminal Intent? He did know. As Detective Graziano? He wasn't Detective Graziano? No. Okay.

I'm sorry. You know, he used to open for Tower of Power. That's a funk band from the 70s. And he would get backstage, and he had himself sold to these guys that he was on Tower of Power. And the one alto or bass bass saxophone player, they called him Doc. He's like, Artie, I'm going to be in New York. Can you get me on the set?

And Arnie's like, yeah, whatever. So we're sitting in the apartment one day, and this guy's blowing Arty's phone up, and Artie's just not answering the phone because he knows he can't get him on the set. He's like, yeah, fucking Doc. I won't leave me alone Oh, and I'm like, well, maybe because you told him you could get him on the set of his favorite TV show. I'll tell you a fun artie story.

So he was on John Melendez's podcast recently and said that they're going to go on tour together. I actually watched that. The bad boys from New York are going back on tour again. And they're promoting it without having a single date booked, which is a weird way to promote a comedy tour. Yes. Yeah, he's got all of the.

emails, all the mail stacked up and packaged and ready to go without anything sold. It's typical. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't want to forget to tell you this. When Artie first got his website, and I'm sure you guys know it's New York City's badboy.com, I would go into this comedy seller with Florentine to hang out just to get my face in there and try to get some stage time. And Jim Norton walks in. He goes, Chuck, tell Jim what Artie's website is.

And I was like, NYC badboy.com. And Norton without skipping a beat goes, why was fat and oil? hack already taken. Artie's very cart before the horse kind of a guy. I remember what phone call I got from him when he was living down in Florida. He was living with his mother for a very, very long time down there. They were roommates. It was cool. And

he calls me up to tell me that I'm in deep negotiations with the TV station in town. They're going to make me one of the part of the crew in the morning. I'm going to go around and interview people. A hundred grand. And I was like to do local television as a roving, like personality. Right. And he goes, yeah, my agent's talking to him now.

It's a done deal. Like the whole thing. And I'm like, weird. This is a very weird phone call. And I asked him the next day what happened with. He goes, oh, no, they didn't want to accept my demands. I needed more time off than they could give me. You know, just a complete liar for no reason.

Grizzly Bass has an interesting comment on here. Jim, for a little while, Jim Norton had the Doug Bell character. Very much like Artie Fletcher. Do you think it was Artie Fletcher inspired at all? Because Doug Bell would always go through his list of accomplishments and his resume and talk about what a pro he has been and all the celebrities he's talked to. It's possible. Next time I have any conversation with Jim Norton, I'm asking how much Artie Fletcher was involved in the creation of Doug Bell. For sure.

Chuck, I want to thank you so much for. coming on. Sounds like you have some PTSD. And if you have more stories, we'll have you back out again to talk more about this. Yeah, I got a couple more. Just like, like, thievery stories. And like I could get you in with his, the real Joan River story behind him. Oh, that'd be great. Okay. So let's, I'll have you on the show again because this has been delightful. And also, we have to go through his book. Oh, yeah. Oh, you got to say, and you got to, you got to listen to a CD. You got to read that book. I mean, if you're not a reader, you don't have to be because it's a page Turner because it's so bad.

Yeah. And it's not true. Not a fucking thing is true in it. So it's like it's, that's the beautiful thing. It's like I looked at it and I'm like, that never happened. That never happened. That definitely never happened. So I mean, it's, it's totally entertaining enough to, to keep you entertained.

I mean, it'll have you get guys laughing like you are right now about them. So I would get it definitely. It's why you can get it for a nickel on eBay. So. All right. I will definitely check that out. Chuck, anything that you're promoting, my friend. No, no.

I'm, shoot, I'm done. I'm out of the business. I'm just, I'm coming here because I heard you guys talk. I'm like, hell, I can keep them entertained for a good half hour, 45 minutes. Yes. Thank you so much for coming on. Great fun to meet you, man. Yes.

Likewise, guys. Take care of yourselves. You too, buddy. We'll see you, man. And you know, this really does with Jim Florentine, who has tried to stay out of the dabbled verse due to its toxic nature. I would say bringing you here to all of us would be an entrance for him into it, whether he is willing to admit it or not.

Pretty much, yeah. That would be great. All right, thanks, Chuck. You got it. There's Artie Fletcher's former roommate of seven years. Thank you to Chuck and Vinny for putting together that presentation, the whole package for us. Hope you enjoyed it.

I did. Bits and pieces. That was phenomenal. Had forever. Bits and pieces. The first time I saw them do it was in the lobby of the hotel. And I was like, what the fuck is that? They're like, oh, it's a thing we're working on.

Bits and pieces. They were doing it together to make each other laugh. It was psychotic. And Nelson looks right at it and goes, I know what this needs. A fish. Yes. Nelson was one of the most angry, weird guys I ever met in my life. Yeah.

Joe, Joe, Joe. Of course, that's the theme song from a show that is gone because we were making fun of it so much. But thank God, Joe Madderese is back with a brand new podcast. And I was alerted because I'm on his mailing list. I signed up for his Patreon back in the day. did block me, but whatever. I sent up for his patron. I've sent out his mailing list.

And he says, hey, everybody, I need your voice for episode number one of my new podcast, rode back to Philly. After 35 years in New York, I'm thinking about moving back, and I need your help deciding where. Call 911-721-00-08, and leave me a voicemail on my podcast,

leave me a voicemail on my podcast voicemail number before noon, April 23rd. Where should I go? South Jersey, Philadelphia, the main line? South Philly? Tell me, Where I belong, why, and anything I should know, stories, advice, or roast me if necessary. Watch the video for a quick breakdown of what I'm looking for from my comedy fans.

You guys want to see the video that he put out to promote this new podcast that he's working on? It's very exciting. This is Joe telling us what this new show is. I'm starting a second podcast. It's called The Road Back to Philly, okay? And I'm going to need you guys to help me out with this because I started a voicemail number. And with this voicemail number, you guys can leave messages and I play them on the show and I interact with them. And you're going, well, what does that title even mean?

Well, it means that my daughter graduates high school, which is about four and a half years from now. I want to come back. I want to come back to either Philly or South Jersey. And this episode that I'm going to record tomorrow is going to be all about that move back. Where would it be? Would it be in the city? Should it be in the suburbs? Should it be where I grew up in Cherry Hill?

My wife has a tons of friends, though, on the main line. Should it be in the main line of Philly? Where should it be? That's going to be tomorrow's subject. So leave a message on the voicemail right now. 914-721008. Say your name. Say where you're from, too, because that helps.

Okay? All right. This is a 58-year-old man. I remember he had the show Fixing Joe? Yeah. And it was all about like, guys, I can't figure this whole thing out. I'm married. I got kids. What am I supposed to do? It's like, oh, man, why are you asking us? Why are you asking your fans, the fellow hosts of your show,

the guests that you bring on? And this is the same thing where he's like, guys, where should I move. Should I move back to Cherry Hill, New Jersey, where I'm from? Or should I move into the city of Philadelphia? What's that bombed out, methed out part of it? That's where he should go. Right. I mean, how the fuck would anyone know this? And also, we're not the ones deciding this. I would think his family would be the ones. Yes. Like, mainly his wife would be the one. He has the same instincts as scorch.

Yeah, I was thinking that. Also, it's four and a half years away. Four and a half years from, where should I move to? I'm just starting a new podcast. So we could talk, we can discuss that. The other thing, too, from the Fixing Joe episode. He filmed it at the comedy seller. And, of course, Anthony, Jim Norton,

Artie Lang, and he decides, his instinct is, all right, I got some voicemails. People left. I'm going to play them right now. And I can remember which one of those guys, It might have been Jim Norton's who was like, what? The four of us are sitting right here in front of an audience. You're going to start playing random voicemails?

Why would you do that? And he got shamed into not doing it. But now all these years later, he's like, you know what? Is the key to my success? Voicemails. What if one of those voicemails actually had the cure for him? What if somebody just gave him really good advice and he didn't listen to it because Norton shamed him?

And now we've been dealing with this for decades. Oh, you think that the fixing july. Joe that would have solved it. Yeah, one person. One person had it and he wouldn't play it. That's what I choose to believe. So Joe dropped episode one eight days ago on YouTube. It has 162 views.

Yesterday's episode two has 63 views so far. So I'm going to walk you through some of these clips, starting with how the brand new show opens up. First time hearing it. I like this. You guys like it? Every fucking time. He needs our approval on every fucking thing. Call the number.

Tell me if you liked it. And of course, he's so unprepared. He hasn't even listened to the theme music that the producer came up with for him. Just starts playing. Like, oh, hey, look at this. You got music. Theme, right. All right, everybody.

Welcome, welcome, welcome. You got episode one here of the Roe, back to Philly and it's been hard for me to do I say the or do you get rid of the the it's episode one it's like you can't make any fucking what do you guys think what you can't think I'm putting up a poll in the chat let me know this is insane you're feeling have you ever seen a man with less confidence it's wild that he's like I'm gonna start to do podcasts or should I maybe I will I probably shouldn't but I but I'm going to but you tell me I shouldn't that I'll go away we literally ran him off the internet just by

reviewing his show once so one that It's like you're feeling things out. I like Road Back to Philly, right? Episode one. It's literally called Joe Metter-Rees' Road Back to Philly. It's written right behind him on the screen. I don't like saying my own name. I know he's debating.

Pilot episode, new podcast, brand new, still doing three friends, one booth. Still got that one. Thank you. All right? So don't think that one's gone. We're going to do that one when we can from live at Vito's. and then other times we'll probably do it for mid-studio in Haddonfield. But, and also, also...

What's with these details? Whatever, man. Unless, of course, you guys don't want me to. Right, yes. Music down a little bit. We got a producer here. A little shout out to Dan Rubio in a whole other state. Whole other state, Dan.

I always think you live in Iowa, and I know it's not Iowa. Is it, is it Iowa? It's Utah. It's Utah. I always get Iowa. My learning disability will not let me know Utah and Iowa. It's learning disability. It's called stupidity.

It is. It's called not knowing the U.S. map, which, by the way, quick plug, devilverse live tomorrow. We're going to find out the Keanu and Gino are also bad at picking out which states are which when looking at a U.S. map. but why the fuck would he confuse Utah and Iowa? Because he doesn't care about his producer. Four letter states. All right. So we got a producer, which is exciting.

Dan Rubio's on there. We're going to learn a lot more about Dan. But first, I love it when Joe tells us who his fan bases. Because he's been going through it the last few years. There was a time when he was getting booked on the Howard Stern show. He was on America's Got Talent. We're going to find out that he actually. actually was almost had his own sitcom on NBC.

So he's had a lot of run-ins with fame and opportunities to be a big comic. And who's the fan base these days? To catch you up to speed, kind of why I'm doing this podcast. Well, I have the strong fan base. So it's for you guys down in the Philly area, down in the South Jersey area. It branches all the way down to Delaware. I look at it as everywhere where a Philadelphia Phillies fan lives everywhere, a Philadelphia Eagles fan lives, everywhere where our flyers are in the playoffs right now,

which is like crazy that our flyers are in the playoffs. So he defines his fan base on people who like Philadelphia professional sports teams. Is this a sports show? Is he the host of a sports radio show? and I have a feeling that most people who like those teams also don't like Joe. Well, it's odd to me that he defines that. It's like, if you like the Phillies, you're going to love me. Why?

Like, are you going in deep on what they should be doing with the farm system and how they should be developing some of the players and what's in their future for them? Because we're going to find out come episode two that as soon as it gets into actual sports talk, Joe doesn't know shit about sports. he's not following it at all. Are those fans incredibly depressed and insecure also?

Maybe that's one of it is. Yeah, there's way less reality and zoning than I thought would be in the beginning of this. Right. So he thinks that now he has a big fan base in Philadelphia. So that's why he's got to move back to Philadelphia. That's where his fans are. And so he goes through his entire life story. He moved to New York when he was 24 to do comedy.

He moved out to L.A. for a year because of this. I get a development deal with NBC. I have a shot at getting my own sitcom. I get all this money. I move out to Los Angeles to write the pilot with the guy who created the Hughley's. Remember D.L. Hughley? Remember? Well, we all know.

He's still around doing stand-up. He's a great stand-up. I mean, I'd love to say because it's just wild how far this guy has fallen. I think we forget that when we watch him. And he's just this insecure, unfunny, nervous guy. He was like, yeah, NBC gave a development deal. And they got the guy who created the Hugley's to work on it with me. What the fuck happened, Joe?

How did we get here? This is wild. So we found out why he left L.A., came back to the New York area. If I literally was at that point in my life, I was like 35, you know, we're cutting way ahead in years from all the New York apartments. I'm 35 and I'm like, I'm moving back. I'm going to be single forever if I stay in L.A. This place sucks. The girl dating pool was horrendous.

Everybody was an actress or a singer or a writer. No regular people there. I was like, I got to move back. So wait, all the chicks were hot or talented? Well, yeah, get on to get the fuck away from that place, then. What kind of complaint is that? A bunch of actresses and singers. In L.A.?

They can be tiring. Sure. So you get to move back to New York. and he actually moves to Hoboken, New Jersey, and he meets his wife who is studying to get her Ph.D. So then she decides to go to grad school out in San Diego. So they move back to San Diego, or they moved to San Diego. He hates it there.

They move back to the New York City area. And just like John Melendez, for some reason, Joe feels like he needs to tell us about what he bought and how much it's worth. where he lives. Now we live in New Rochelle, New York, where we live for like 13 years. Now my son is at you, Tampa. You need to know all this information

for this podcast really to make sense. So my son is going to you Tampa. He's a freshman. He's finishing up his freshman year in the next few weeks. And my daughter is eighth grade going into ninth grade. So I've said to my wife for years

when our daughter gets out of high school, I want to sell this house because the taxes are crazy. Like I can give you almost exact figures. This was a good buy, too. This house has almost doubled what it's worth now compared to what I paid for with my wife 13 years ago. Thank God that we had the money that we sold the Hoboken place. We sold that.

Well, technically that was my money then. I sold that, made a lot of money on that and had enough to move up here in this expensive. area. Why is he telling the audio of this? And that's the last time I had my own money. Well, a lot of insecurity there. You saw that. He's like, and by the way, that money was money that I earned from that NBC deal that didn't go anywhere. And now my wife pays for everything. But she ultimately over my head. But there was a time when I was the breadwinner in this relationship. Why is he telling us that he lives in a house that the text are too high, but

it's doubled in value? He said, we got to know this if we're going to keep on this rode back to Philly. All right. So this is obviously very important stuff. And so now he's decided that they don't need this big house. They got the son's already moved out. The daughter's going to finish high school in four and a half years. So I said to my wife, I go, when our kids finally, you know, are both out, you know,

and done high school, we should sell this house, downsize, something small up here. And then we could get something small down in Florida. and live there just in the winter, which honestly, I'm almost thinking I don't want to own anything in Florida with the freaking hurricanes taking out the properties. I'd rather Airbnb be something for three months. Get a different one every year.

Go down there for three months. Where was Joe a few years ago? Right. To give you this great advice. But Joe, if you do want to rent something in Cape Coral for three months out of the year. Bring your own RO system. No, I have a new RO system in there now.

I got to replace immediately. You can put shit on the walls. No, no, no, no, no. You should be very respectful when you're there. You guys are telling him all the wrong things right now. So now Joe wants to downsize. He wants to be a snowbird. We're going to live in Florida.

You know, during the winter months. Smart. Yeah. I would have thought of that. It's a pretty good idea. So apparently this has to happen, this move that he's talking about. And there's a good reason for that. It's because of how popular he's become in Philadelphia.

but we find out more about the crux of this podcast, why this podcast exists. So I said, so I basically have been saying to my wife now, especially that this Philly fan base is kind of building and building for me. And I'm doing a lot of shows down there and they're all selling well. And even the Florida area, you know, social media is so big in the game right now. And it's so hard. It's over a two hour drive for me to go down the Philly if I want to go to a Philly's game and make some content. if I want to do the veto's episode, I got to go all the way down there.

I'm like, man, it would be so much easier for me and better for me if I had a base down there. And I don't know if I can convince my wife. And that's what this whole journey is going to be like on this podcast that I want to do with you guys, is can I convince her? I don't know, man. That's not a job I want,

try to convince your wife. life to move to Philadelphia? I can see why he needs help now. Yes. Do you think she's looking at the numbers and going, 63 views from your show yesterday? Maybe we should move to Philly. Seems like you got a pretty good-sized fan base

that's crushing it for you. You're like teenagers now or kids, they'll like put up, what is it, a presentation of, like, I want to go to Taylor Swift. So here's all the pictures. What do you call it, a blanket on the name? Vision board. No, no.

No. I know you're talking about presentation, yeah. Yeah, whatever it is. This is his version of that for his wife to convince her to do something because he can't talk directly to her. We got Bill Burr doing this

against his will and that's torturous to listen to because he hates it. But this is like he needs us too bad. Like he needs us to help him with this. It's not about us. You have to put on a show. No, no, no. We have to prove to his wife that they should move to Philadelphia.

No, he's way too much work. It's always about me writing and coming up with major decisions and planning maps and life plans. You don't even know the half of it yet. The amount of work that he wants us to do for him is insane. But I think before we get to that, we should find out, like, why is his wife being such a bitch? Why does she want to continue to live in New Rochelle near New York City and not let him move to Philadelphia once their daughter graduates? My wife, you need to know this too. This is important.

Her job, she works at Columbia men. Medical Center on 168th in Broadway in New York City. She must go into the city once every two or three weeks. That's it. Everything else is a Zoom call. She doesn't need to be up here. It's just too crazy expensive if you want to be able to pursue your careers. I think the Philly thing really makes sense.

Okay. So I don't know who's trying to convince. His wife works in Manhattan. That's where her job is. He's like, this fucking dumb bitch doesn't want to just move to Philadelphia with me. Yeah, she's the one making all the way. the buddy and the hospital she works at is a lot closer to New Rochelle than it would be to South Jersey.

You are not listening to the point of this podcast and you are not responding in the correct way. We're supposed to be convincing her on the road back to Philly. Yeah, I mean, she's only, she only has to go into work like once every two or three weeks. Do you think that's true? Do you think his wife would agree with that? Do you think maybe put her job in jeopardy if she couldn't make it into the office?

I would guess so. On a regular basis? I can't imagine Joe knows his wife's job title. Right. He's very self-absorbed. I can't imagine. Also, this idea that he's just like, oh, he just had Zoom calls all day.

You can fucking do that anywhere. I have to go to Phillies games. Do you understand how much time it takes me to drive to a Phillies game? And he gets no interaction on social media. The idea that he's going, guys, I need to move closer to the stadium because when I go to a Phillies game

and put it up on Instagram Reels, It goes fucking bonkers. People can't get enough of it. It's just not the case at all. So here's why I talk about, it gets very tedious and difficult for us, the viewers. Because he said there's voicemails. I read you the email I got.

Leave me a voicemail. But there's actually instructions for the voicemail. It's not just call them and tell them what you think he should do. But try to follow the social media and leave your voicemails on subject, like you're going to. here today, which is all about my move and wanting to move in four and a half to five years, where will it be is really going to be the big subject. So we have to follow him on social media and then he'll tell us, we'll get our decoder

ring out, he'll tell us through a series of numbers what he wants us to talk to him about when we do call into the voicemail and then he'll play that on his show. Because what we're going to find out is that he records these shows and puts them out weeks afterwards. So it's not like I can watch his show and go, oh, he's talking

about the difference between Cherry Hill and living downtown? I know about that. I'll give him a call. It's like, we're way past that now. That was a month ago.

We talked about that. So fast forward to episode two. Episode two comes on. And remember, this show is called Joe Manor Reese's Road Back to Philly. And he starts off

with this question. Episode two, where am I? What's in my mind. What am I thinking about? Where do I want to live? Do I still want to move to Philly a week later? We're going to find out on

episode two. You're fucking better Joe. There's a logo and everything. Some guy in Utah's getting bothered every day. The entire point of the podcast is it moving to Philly. So what do you guys think? Do I still want to move to Philly? Did you change your mind that quickly?

No, obviously his wife gave him a talking to. Yes. So, yeah. Joe Maderice is wearing his Eagles hat, Philadelphia Eagles hat, and he still got his logo Road Back to Philly. And he starts off with, guys, what do you think? Do I still want to go to Philly? You guys ready for the big reveal on this?

Yes. One of my favorite shows growing up, but we don't really want to talk about the White Shadow this whole episode, Road Back to Philly. So much, so much. So I still want to be. I still want to be in Philly, even though if you're noticing,

look what hat I have on. I have the Philadelphia Eagles on for episode two. And do you know why that is? Tell us. These episodes are going in the can, so they're coming out a few weeks probably after I record it. So what's going on right now in my household is the Sixers are playing the Knicks.

They're getting their ass kicked. They're down 02. The Flyers are playing. Who are they playing again to the avalanche? Call me and tell me who they're playing. First off, not to get technical, but they couldn't be playing the avalanche because the conference,

they're not even the same conference right now, so they would be meeting them in the playoffs unless it was the finals. But neither here nor there. This fucking guy comes down to, all this sportsman mobility behind him, he's wearing all the sports ship. He doesn't even know who the flyers are playing

in the playoffs. He doesn't even know it's not football season. Right, well, he's going to explain that. But this idea that, guys, I'm a big sports fan. I got to go to Phillies games. That's where I shoot my content. People who are Phillies fans. People are Flyers fans.

They're the ones who like me. That's my core base. It's my audience right there. And then he comes on and he goes, yeah, I don't really know what's going out with the sports teams. 76 were getting their ass kicked or something. I don't know. If I was there, I would know. Right, right, yes.

And then he goes, I put these in the can for months. And then they come out. And I mentioned earlier, what is he like into sports talk? Why does it matter what sports teams are root for if you want to enjoy his content? And lo and behold, we're going to get into some serious Philadelphia Phillies talk. Last episode, episode one, they were in last place, had the worst record in all of baseball. And since I did episode one of row back to Philly, they got on a hot streak. I think they've only lost three out of their past like 13 or 14 games.

They're doing really good again. But last night, they lost 12 to 1 against the A's, who I could be wrong, Dan, but the A's I'm pretty sure in first place in their division. They're a good team. They're a good team. But they're one of those first place teams that don't have a great record. I think they have a 500 record. They're like 18 and 18 or something.

them, but they're in first place. Dan could look that up. This is great having a producer. Who fucking cares? Joe, baseball is playing every day. If you're not going to put this episode out for three weeks, it doesn't matter what the score was last night. It doesn't matter what the record is now.

Who could possibly give a shit about this? If I was a Phillies fan, I'd be like, yeah, that was fucking three weeks ago. Poser? They played a, like, 18 games since then. Who gives us shit? They're going to be in Las Vegas

before he makes a point. Right. Who cares? I came here for a podcast about relocation. I don't know what this diversion is or why we're talking about it. Well, Adam is going to get worse before it gets better, my friend. I know. Because, see, you just heard him ask his producer to look up the record of the A's.

What city are they even in there right now? I couldn't even tell you. They're playing out of Sacramento. Sacramento, I think. So he asked him to look up their record. And Joe comes up with what is almost an edgy joke, which you don't hear Joe ever do.

Fortunately, he ruins it immediately because he doesn't know how to handle it. Because it's a joke. It's great having a producer. Look that up, Dan. It's like having a landscaper who speaks your language. Is that a racist joke? I mean, I'll allow it. You'll let it only just once.

you're Latino so it's like when Robin when Robin Quivers was Howard Stearns well still is psychic he could make like slightly racial jokes because Robin was there it made it okay so you're my Latino producer so I can throw a landscaper joking no

I can't tell and you tall to a lot of Latinos do the landscapes Of course, bro, okay Did you ever landscape? Oh Joe, get out of own fucking hat, man. I know.

Whatever Medturon, you've got to fucking weed yourself off of that shit. You can't just have a quick throwaway line and let it go. Just like, by the way, was that too racist? Or you get the joke, all right? A lot of Latinos. Dan, I'm sorry, Dan. He was slightly confident for a second. I know.

It's like, it's fine. This is hilarious. Joe, you know, we mentioned before. He might be stupid. He didn't know what the difference between Utah and Iowa because of whatever learning disorder that he has. I didn't do landscaping

I did do parking lot painting though what's that where I would paint parking lots like oh

the crew like I would instead of retar and they just paint right on top of the black

no no they would tar and then they would tar and then they would hire as to repaint the for the

lines so you mean paint the parking lots yes oh good the lines

you think you just get a cement colored paint just paint dirt this must be cement. This is a tunnel.

What a fucking idiot. If I'm the wife, I just tell him you're in Philadelphia. He writes. You wouldn't know. Paid parking lots. He just put the Philadelphia skyline in a window. I just be like, yeah, we're right outside of Philly. Oh, yeah. Look at it. There we are. Cool. It actually is the funniest thing he's ever said. So stupid. I was on parking lot, Bader. What's that? I don't know, man. You ever been in a parking lot before? So that he asks his new producer, Dan, if he speaks Spanish or not. I don't think Joe was ready for this answer.

I didn't do landscaping. I did do parking lot painting, though. Oh, wait. What's that? Oh, shit, that's the same clip, isn't it? It was worth revisiting. Anyway, it's very funny because Joe has a hard time understanding that he does speak Spanish. He just comes back with a bunch of Spanish.

He's like, so is that a no? Or what is that? And then Joe keeps going, see, see, because he knows the word for yes. And then he decides he's going to show off other Spanish that he knows to his new friend. Oh, boy. Daniel Rueu. Cinco de Mayo. Cinco de Mayo.

Not an actual holiday we celebrate. But, okay, so. So Dan, it's not amused by that. I know Spanish. Cinco de Maya is like, okay, man. We actually don't care about that. It's a gringo thing. You guys do.

Who is it you think got a talking to After this episode Was it him to him or which way to go? That's a good question So it turns out Dan this producer Who knows a lot about hockey by the way He was good on that

Doesn't know a lot about baseball Or even how to look up standings This is some painful Baseball talk right here I can't tell it looks like In their West Division They are leading their division The West for with 19 wins

For the athletics How many lost? do they have, though? 18. Yeah, so they're one game above 500 in first place. So it's a lot different than the Phillies division who have to compete. I think the Phillies are in second or they might have dropped the third place with their loss last night. But you got Atlanta in first place who's just on fire.

Atlanta always has good baseball teams. They're always up there. They're always in the race. And I, Dan can look it up pretty sure they have the best record in all of baseball. So, road back to Philly. This year? Right now. Currently right now.

That's correct. So it looks like the Atlanta Braz are at 26 wins with 12 losses. Phillies are in third place for the East Conference. Don't ask more questions. What are you doing? Joe. Get out. Get out.

With 17 wins. Eject. And 21 losses. But the, they are at a, I don't know what the, they're at a. How many games back? What are back? Why are you asking this? Eight and a half, nine games back.

You probably can't see that at what you're looking at. No, I can't. On my MLB, I can always see how many games back they are. I'm going to guess eight and a half to nine games back. Plus, this is a month old. It's a month old. He's asking how many games back that Phillies are from the Braves, who has the best record in baseball right now.

And that never occurs to him that, like, we shouldn't be talking about this. This is my road back to Philly show. And finally, he does give us this important information. This isn't a sports hot. cast everybody. So I don't know why I'm talking sports so much because you can tell when I try to sound like I know it. I don't know it. Like real

sports guys know it. I, you know. No shit, Sherlock. No shit. He has no idea what he's talking about and insists on just talking to this guy who Dan doesn't give a fuck about the Phillies. He insists on talking to him about

yeah, you know, the Braves of pretty good ball teams quite often. Oh, you want the stats from this year? What happened in 92? I'd love to know that. I'm going to need them two months from now. That's what I'm going to need.

So I was confused as to why we were talking about sports when obviously Joe doesn't know anything about sports, doesn't really pay attention. But then we find out he ties it back together with the premise of this show. So do I still want to move back to Philly, even though all the Philly sports teams, are taking a dive. If you see, I'm wearing the Eagles hat. The Eagles are still fine because the season hasn't started yet. And they got some good draft picks, but like I said, I'm a half-ass sports fan.

Don't even know who they drafted, what positions they got. I'm told they did good in a draft. Whatever. This is insane. We opened up with so much sports talk and finally, Joison confessed, like, I'm not even paying attention. I don't fucking know any of the shit. But it's amazing to me that the barometer for whether or not to move to a city is how good the sports teams are doing at that time? That's a wild thing to think about when you're like, should I move to New York?

The next are good. The Jets, though. Well, he's talking about four and a half years out. I guess the draft class is important. Right. But he's not paying attention to his own positions. Well, I'm sure it's important to his wife. I'm sure, yes.

Could you imagine his wife? She's like, well, I work like right down the street, but I don't know. Are the Phillies have any good prospects coming up? Who's going to play shortstop for them? It's going to be really bad for the podcast when she files for divorce before we've all voted on what he should do. I'm trying to explain to her that she has to wait. Hey, good news. The decision was made for me.

I mean, we're talking about moving to another state. And potential of two other different states, New Jersey or Pennsylvania. And it's just like, I'm going to get my audience to figure this out for us, honey. I don't think you and I can make this decision on our own. All right, well, tell them about how the Phillies are doing, how many games back they are. Oh, no, I will. I'll make sure they know that before they make their decision. That's really important.

Also, they need to know where my son's going to college and which semester he's in. How are the Ray's doing? That's a great, great point so we can move to Tampa. Don't confuse Joe. Sorry, guys. Guys, this is something I found to be incredible because, as you guys know, the reason why John had an Efsler with Kate Meanie? It's because he was watching a movie that he likes a lot. And that forced him to do that. Turns out, our buddy Joe Madder Reese is also a big fan of that movie.

I titled it Bullies and Demones. Now, did you know what DeMones were, Dan? As how old are you? 30. I'm 34. I just turned 34. You just had a happy birthday. Yes. You just had a birthday, right? 34 years old, you probably don't know who DeMone is. No idea. You never saw a Fast Times at Ridgemont High. No, it's actually on my list for my movie podcast to watch because you mention it so much. One of the greatest movies of all time. Did your wife see it? Did your wife see it?

Okay, talk to her about it? I just want to talk to someone about fast times. I feel like Joe picked up his entire cadence from Des Moan now that I know this. He wants to be Demone. In fact, he talks about how he was more of a rat in high school. if you know the movie rat was the dork Des Moan was trying to show him the ropes how to get chicks and everything like that

and so Joe's obsessed with fast times which is not surprising because Joe's living in the past Joe loves that movie because it's like hey that was like me in the 80s in high school this movie's great that's what I want to be again in high school in the 80s and so he starts describing this movie

to his producer Dan who doesn't seem interested in this movie at all Dan even said I have a movie podcast I should get around to watching that movie sometime. Yeah, I would like to hear his baseball podcast, too. Fuck that guy. Right. So listen to how Joe describes fast times to his new friend. Has your wife seen it?

No, absolutely not. Any of your friends talk about it? I think a few friends have seen it, but I don't, you know, we're not talking about it. Do you know who was in it? No idea. No idea. I do look it up one time, but. Well, the number one actor in it was Sean Penn.

Sean Penn plays Jeff Spicoli. He's basically the star of the movie. He plays a stoner in high school. He's amazing in it. Jennifer Jason Lee is in it. I don't know if I want to give this away. Is there like spoilers? 50 years later.

She gets pregnant. She gets pregnant by Desmond. Demone gets her pregnant. No, I don't want to get time to go, but it's just Spicoli the star of this movie? No, it's a very minor but memorable character. It's a side character. We're not actually following his story. And Des Moan is not the hero of this tale.

Not even a little bit. Not even a little bit. He's turned up to be a real prick. Was it shot in Philly? Is this going to tie him somehow? Dude, I can't fucking figure this out. Joe, no matter how bored his producer is and the audience is of whatever topic he brings up, he has to just continue to talk about it over and over and over again.

And so, you know, the title of this episode is Bullies and Demones. And so he wants to tell us some stories about. some of the demones that he knew when he was in high school. But we did have a demone. And I reached out and I posted this on my social media to get some callers. We have some voicemails of people that left message about their demones. My demone was my friend's older brother. I did a whole bit about this guy in Mullets and Mix tapes and Remember Wend.

Holy shit. Who could possibly care about a guy that was your. friend's brother who apparently got laid in high school. And to your point, Des Moan didn't get laid. That was the whole thing. He was trying to fooled his dumb friend to think that he was getting all these chicks and he wasn't.

So he had to steal his girl. Anyway, not the point. The point is like, Joe is going on and on. The whole point of the show is for him to tell you about bullies he had in high school and guys who were getting more pussy than he was in high school. And he asked the voice members on social media to call in to tell him about the people who were getting pussy

in their high school and the people who were bullying them in their high school. And so I came to a crazy conclusion, but first, he's talked about mullets and mixtapes, that comedy special he did. Yeah. And I'm sure you guys have at least seen the set of this. It's pretty wild. It looks like his bedroom from 1982 on one side and the other side is like his son's bedroom and to show the difference between the 80s and the 2020s.

and it turns out that was not cheap you're probably watching this podcast on YouTube right now go check out mallets and mixtapes whole special about the 80s and the stage half of it we spent a lot on this special it's old news but I had an investor

who spent a lot on it he overpaid and I told him not to I said save all the money for advertising he didn't listen to me he said we gotta make it look amazing we're going to sell this thing to Netflix I'm like no you're not No, you're not. I don't have a million followers. You're not selling it to Netflix.

I'm telling you for a fact. You aren't selling this anywhere. Spend under 20 grand on. Get confidence, stupid. No shit. So he told this guy to spend under 20 grand. He's not going to tell us the actual number, is he? If anybody ever says to me, hey, Vinny, spend 20 grand, this isn't going to go anywhere.

I'm not spending the 20 grand to begin with. Yeah, no shit. He's telling this guy, do not spend money on me. Nobody likes me. I'm not going to get picked up. Way past my prime. Listen to this. didn't listen to me he spent 130 grand on it

he overpaid it was the dumbest thing ever dan that set and shooting that special was $130,000 whoa did they bring back Kubrick to fucking film it this guy took the money and would not I mean who doesn't accept what the artist says for their special like no no no I know better I'm going to spend all your money how I see fit that doesn't happen

And he's talking about it like they're still buddies. This guy's robbed you. Well, no, Joe didn't put up any of the money. This was an investor who spent all of it. Oh, no, but I mean, he took it for himself and didn't put it into the special. And Joe just let him do it. How does he have the ability? It's up on YouTube and nobody's watching it.

So I thought that was pretty crazy. But all right, we have to go 56 minutes into the show to finding it to a voicemail, which I thought was the whole premise of it. We're going to listen to voicemails and react to it. So here's the first voicemail that he gets. We have a bunch of phone calls here with people that left voicemails about their bullies from growing up. And you can play them in any order. I don't care.

We got to play all of the message, though. Play the rest of them. This is Al-Qaz. Joe Matarise. Al-Caz. So, yeah, I got a bully story. His name is David Moss. Okay.

We don't know who David Moss is. We don't care. El-Caz apparently is another comic. and I was listening to Blind Mike covering this on his show this past weekend. And the voicemailers that called on Joe's first show were people who know Joe. One was an ex-girlfriend from high school. Another one was a relative. So he must have like also be messaging his friends.

But hey, can you guys leave me some voicemails? I want to get this show going. Yeah. You know, to get things moving. He's like, yeah, I guess we had to do Joe another fucking solid so he can pretend he's a comedian and has a career in show business. Is this going to help you move quicker? Yeah, they're like, yeah, yeah, yeah,

moving out of here. That'd be great. What's the number? So, Al Kaz calls in and says he is a bully, this David Moss guy. And don't worry, there is a punchline. There's a reason why he called in with this.

So then when I became a comic, we had like a great school reunion, whatever, and Dave Moss was there, and he was wearing this shirt, this shiny aluminum-looking shirt, like something out of like a disco fever. So I wrote,

it on a, Dave, nice shirt, looks like Reynolds. Ralph had a sale. Boom. See, you get back at the bully through humor. Anyway, also... Wow. He called in to tell us his

Reynolds rap joke, where he really got this bully back good. Yeah. I feel like I was there. This podcast sucks. And here's what I figured out. Here's my exciting conclusion. I thought this was about, hey, I got to

convince my wife. I want to move back to Philly. Give me help with this. I need help with this. by episode two, we've already reverted back to the only thing Joe ever wants to do and that's reminisce about the past. Yep. The other show he has,

the three friends one booth are three guys who grew up together reminiscing about the past. And he's like, I got a new idea for a new show. And immediately, he's like, let's talk about people you knew

in high school and how that went. No one could possibly fucking care about this. He's a 58-year-old man. Move on. Get over high school. It's these men of a certain

age. Opie's doing the same thing. Today, somebody mentioned something and he said, oh, nostalgia. I love nostalgia. And he launched into one of these similar rants. You think his wife doesn't know when he's like, oh, so the point of your podcast is to convince me to change my mind about where we live and you call all your exes and reminisce with them under art. What the fuck are you doing? What the fuck are you? And you know, John Beledithes is the same thing where he talks about high school and the battle of bands and elementary school. And these people are all stuck in the past. It's for them. It makes them happy so they feel good. And they don't notice that their audience doesn't care and that chin too doesn't care. Nobody cares. Chin too. He's a spatic. Well, it's nice to finally see Brian Callen without the filter.

Yes, it is nice to see that. Well, that's what Joe Madder Reese is up to. How long is this podcast going to last? I don't think the four and a half years. No fucking way. I think you might have started this one a little too early. Episode three is planning on coming out in like 2028. That's true, yeah. He's going to talk about how the Eagles did in 1983. So that'll be fun.

And this whole thing is to avoid an almost two-hour drive. Right. This is nothing. Who gives a fuck? This podcast is an, and you can take the train, do. And this podcast is an hour and a half. It's like, you could have been spending that time driving to the Phillies game. Fucking idiot.

Let's see what Opie's up to. We are starting off on FU Friday. this is before the big holiday weekend that we had this past week of Memorial Day weekend. And it starts with something we don't see very often from Opie, a little cold open. And boy, is this open cold. Everywhere. Now she's all shaking and doesn't want to move. I took her to the emergency vet.

And the emergency vet told me that she's absolutely fine. But she's not acting fine. All right. With that, we say good morning. And welcome to the Opie Radio podcast. it's it's FU Friday and man I just turned on the mic said Tony P went off I don't know something about his dog at $1,200. That's a big FU right there.

What's wrong on your dog now? Isn't your dog at the end of its life? Jesus. So it starts off. He just hits live as Tony's telling him a story about what's going out of it with his life. And he's like, yeah, so my dog's fucking dying. And the emergency vet doesn't know what's going on. Tells me there's nothing wrong.

There's obviously something wrong. And Opie starts cracking. Good morning, everybody. He starts cracking up laughing. And then he's obviously like, yeah, so what is going out with your dog? He's old and dying, right? Like, Jesus. He doesn't shift tone very easily.

No, he does not. So Opie's like laughing totally inappropriately. And Ron is just shoving in our face now that he's eating during the show. He's scowling right now. He's scowling, but there's a moment during this clip. As soon as he sees it they're alive, he's like, oh, I'm shoveling food into my face. He knows we complain about this. I don't think Ron's our friend anymore.

I have a question. Yeah. Why is Opie not in the middle for this? Don't you think it would make Ron less jarring? It's like Tim and Opie switched spots on this. I don't think anything makes Ron less jarring, but I hear what you're saying. Yeah, you'd be surprised how jarring he is on the left, two, and on the right. Yes, he's jarring in stereo.

I get it. Do you see why Opie doesn't have friends? The guy's just like, dude, I had to go to the vet. It was $1,200, and then they couldn't fix it. My dog's still sick. All right. Anyway, great story. He's dying, though, right? Jesus Christ. Well, Opie's going to explain why he's being such a prick. What's going on with him? And you also just described me on a sugar detox. I quit sugar. So I'm out of my F in mind, Tony, and I think I was doing this. Shut up, Ron. Shut up. Shut up. I see you. I see you rev it up. I was in the middle of doing something. I was in the middle of doing something, Ron.

Opie's trying out a new character. This is out of his mind guy. And he was quitting sugar, so he was very upset. He was going to do a bit, and Ron was about to interrupt him. And like Opie likes to do, he likes to pit his two co-hosts against each other. Tony doesn't interrupt me? Yeah. Yeah, Ron.

I get you more like Tony. Tony just has dying dogs and he starts the show. So let's see more of this new. character that Opie is working on. I was going to compare. You have nothing to say. I was going to compare what his dog was doing on the

sidewalk with what I am doing because I quit sugar and I'm out of my fucking mind. Is sugar a nice way of saying wine? That's a good question. Yeah, he's quitting something that's beyond just ice cream at nighttime.

But it's making him freak out. He's losing his mind. cool character, Opie. His lips are almost normal color. That's true. If Ron and Tony started the show together, I'd watch that. If you got Opie out of the way,

a little noopee action on this, that could be something. They might want to try that out. He would jump out of a window if somebody started making noopy videos of Ron and Tony Geree. That's hilarious. He would jump out of a window, Carl.

Tony's actually insufferable. I'm going to play a short, for you guys and you try to tell me what you think Tony is referring to at the end of this. Sugar free, sugar free. Everything is sugar free in my life, baby. The only thing I like sweet in my life is the hoo-ha. What do you think he's talking about when he says the hoo-ha?

You guys have any ideas? Uh, vagina. That's what you'd think. He's talking about marijuana. Oh, he calls marijuana hoo-ha. Why? I don't know. He's a nerd.

I really was quite unsure why he referred to because he's smoking a joint and he's just like yeah everything's sugar-free for me even my hoo-ha Okay Now I have another new game for us here

Adam You guys know the opi or burr game It's fun I have a game called Opie or a woman See if you can figure out Who's saying this sentence Was it opi or a woman

It's FU Friday Let's get into this My birthday's tomorrow, and I hear you guys have a nice surprise for me. I'm looking forward to that later on in the live stream. And also at Super Chat Friday, I'm hearing people are just going to throw money at me for my birthday today. This is a very exciting day. Oh, my God, my birthday's tomorrow, and it's going to be shit weather. So sorry to hear that, Opie.

That sucks. It's going to be rainy on your birthday. A bummer. That's why you make it your birthday month. That's right. I think I hope you'll figure that out. eventually. What was that? You guys are going to super chat me because it's my birthday. And I heard you guys did something really great for me. Yeah, all of these things are female traits. No offense to the females that I know out there who are nothing like Opie. But Opie. It would be more accurate if they actually hadn't planned anything and didn't know and he's just putting them on them now. Like I'm sure you have something great planned for me. And they're looking at each other like, oh, fuck, what are we going to do? You do something. You do something. Did you want me to eat more snacks on the show?

Happy birthday. Tony, you want to go halves on a gift card or something? What do we do here? Yeah, right now. You can e-send it right now. So they bring up the fact that Opie, why would you quit sugar right before your birthday?

Because he just quit sugar six days ago. And this is another thing that only a woman would say. There's never a good time. So I said to myself, there's never a good time. I'm going to start today. And that was like six, seven days ago. That's crazy. going to have cake on your birthday.

I am. All right. After all that, he's still going to do it. Ron is so disappointed. I love that. Rod's like, okay, so you don't have to take it this seriously. We're trying to cut sugar out of your diet.

You don't even care. And who the fuck needs cake that badly? Who has to quit sugar? Well, Opie explains that he likes the sweets. Cut back. It's fine, no. Well, then Rod explains, you know, it's just like, what did you stop drinking?

and beer, we sell pasta. All that shit's sugar. I was like, all right, I'm not quitting sugar. Fine. You got me. Every day, Opie has a brand new reason why it's okay for him to be a raging asshole. Yes, correct. It's a bit of trying to do wrong.

So they get into the, what's your name conversation they have every now and again with Opie? Because Tony goes, I don't know if I should call you Greg or Opie or Opester. And so this is a. slip up by Opie? No, I'm known as Opie, but everyone knows how stupid and ridiculous that name is, but I got a little fame with that name, but it's a

kid's name. It's dumb. And I never liked my real name, Greg, named after my wife's, my wife's, oh, my God, my mom's best friend's husband. Who the fuck is watching this? I am. I bought a membership, because I was putting everything behind the table. Thank God. So I own a membership now

on Opie Radio. Don't block me, please. I'm enjoying your content very much. Look at opi's face. I can tell you this is the, at least the second time Opie has made that mistake. Yep. It happens quite often. Which, you know, when you haven't seen your wife for many years,

I could see why you'd confuse. He hasn't seen his mom. He hasn't seen his wife. Confused the two. Women are used to be in his life. Well, we can confirm one of them is dead, Carl. That's true. We can only confirm one of them.

So the day before this... For now. For now. For now. The day before this episode was the one where Opie brought on his fat friend. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And we've fallen. McFallin. Yes. And we played the clips of that where Opie was being very rude to Ron at the beginning of that. And so Opie felt bad about it.

I need sugar, Ron. I even apologized to Ron yesterday. If you want to know the truth. I followed. I had to call me and go... I didn't have to do nothing. He had to call me and say, Ron, I want to apologize. I'm detoxing.

I'm crashing off sugar. I will never apologize to you again, Ron. Opie's in therapy, for real. He's actually calling people but apologizing to them now? This is therapy shit that's going on. I mean, I'm proud of it. It's good. You should do that.

But Opie just learned a valuable lesson. Never apologize. They'll just throw it back in your face. Yeah, Rod is going to a prick about it. that is a good point but yeah opi started the show the day before talking about how his only friend the AI in his phone

was no longer his old friend again changed voices didn't remember him and he was like really upset about it and round's like he fucking bitch and that again that he did this bit already he did the they changed voices and I'm brokenhearted so Ron's probably just disappointed in the shitty bit

right and so opie has already asked for money because it is his birthday. So let's throw them some money, people. That's exactly right. And you're fucked up mine. Look at this. I told you it's my birthday and people are throwing super chats on me today. Happy birthday to the oldster, $50 from McPuffin. So what's this? Is this the big 50? Guys, if you ever hear me tell you when my birthday is on this show, now someone might bring it up on the show, it won't be me. This is insane. We see John do it. We see Aaron Holt do it.

We see all these fucking loser chad. All these losers who are begging for money. Carl, we celebrate your birthday every year on the creepoff. Every year on the creep off. We have Carl Miss. That's true. Carl Miss is already too much. I'm blushing over here.

It's insane that this asshole has to bring up his birthday, ask for money, and then be like, he, $50. The optics of us are bad. Obie's complaining about how it's going to be rainy when he goes out to the Hamptons to be at his beach house this weekend for his birthday weekend. But he's $50 coming in. So the end of this, as Anna points out a lot, it ends abruptly. It starts abruptly.

It ends abruptly. And we learned something that I don't think is true. Thank you, guys. That's Ronda, waita, also known as Ronnie Babes. People like the Ronnie Babes nickname the best, by the way. And I like calling him Tone Loke, but that's Tony, Tony Pate, Tony Popper Dog. Okay. That's how it ends before he gets this real name out to promote it.

So that was FU Friday. Happy birthday. Greg. Hope you enjoyed it. Happy birthday, precious. Lonnie babes. Yeah. Bits and pieces.

Missy B goes round. I think Opie is 50. I think they were being a little coy there. I think Opie is turning 50. Wait. No, he's 63. Yeah. Wait.

Yeah, how old is Hopi? No, I'm confused because Opie's like, I think I'm a year away from the Big Water, something like that. I was like, wait a second. Death. Yeah, a big one. Yes. All right.

So you were checking out a more recent episode, Adam, where Opie after Memorial Day weekend is out in the Hamptons and he does a show with his buddy, Tony Pete. And is this actually on Memorial Day? I think this is from Yompson. yesterday. Okay. And the only thing you need to know to remember is that Tony P is a,

essentially a janitor. He's a custodian for a big place, and he got up at 4.30 a.m. on Memorial, a day he's working because it's a holiday and getting time and a half to spend the morning to do this show with Opie. And this is how Opie deals with him. Beast on Long Island. And let me tell you something.

I don't want to do Woh. was me. I understand my fortune. I'm a fortunate person to have something like this. I get all of that. So let's put that aside. Let's put that aside. All right?

The dumbest and stupidest place to be when it rains for three straight days is in a beach community because there's absolutely nothing to do. Poor thing. Oh, Opie. That's so sad.

But at least he's grateful. No, I think he's upset about it. I think he wants Tony's sympathy on this one. You weren't listening. He asked you to put that aside. He said, I'm grateful, I am humble. We are putting that aside so I can now complain. Yeah, so apparently things were rough for him this weekend in the Hamptons.

And Tony P. You got problems. Your dog's dying. You have to get up at 4.30 a.m. to make time and a half. Nobody cares about that. Listen to what I have to deal with. You can't even get a bagel.

You can't even get a fucking bagel. The line was, I don't know, blocks long for a stupid bagel. Colby next time. I'll talk you through it. That's wild, O'Bee. It's like the hunger games out here, Tony Pete. They're all fighting for lobster rolls in town.

And I'm like, let's avoid all that. Let's just stay in the house, watch movies, enjoy each other's company, play some board games. Yeah, you hear that, Aaron? Yeah, right? Eric pretending to play with this family at least. What movie do you want to watch, doggy? Yeah.

So, Adam, what are your thoughts on how Opie's presenting this to his buddy, Tony, here, to start up the show? I mean, it's completely cold and callous. He has no idea who he's talking to. He thinks he's a rich guy coming off humble, but he's just coming off like an asshole. and even if you want to relate to, okay, he's going to spend his birthday alone with his family, just them, they're not going out,

it's just going to be, maybe start to feel bad for him, maybe even feel like, ah, well, you know, he's a lonely guy, you go out on your birthday, but he's not doing that and he's making the best of it. Yes. I'm with my wife and kids on a horrible, rainy weekend out here, and we couldn't do it. She did get a dinner reservation weeks in advance.

So we did get to squeeze in a dinner, which was nice. Nice, crusted tuna all day long. Oh, man, that sounds delicious. What an asshole. We got these vending machines at the place I clean. Yeah, right. They just put a coffee potter on it. It's pretty nice.

Oh, my God. This is the Hampton. So his wife, because she's a smart person, planned in advance, knew it was a holiday when your birthday is, and booked a reservation so you didn't feel abandoned. You lived in this house. You can't get a couple bagels and freeze them in advance. You can't bring some groceries in advance. Like, what are you doing?

And why are you doing this? And by the way, that was sincere. Tony P. went, oh, man, food. That sounds good. Yeah. Like, he meant that. That's the only thing he could relate to. Crusted tuna.

It's not even a, it's just a dish. Oh, chicken. That sounds great. I've heard of that. A protein? Oh, I wish I could get that. my birthday. Is that like crusted sleeping bag? How does that? No, no, very different thing. Okay.

Well, it turns out that when Opie talks about, you know, things going well for him, that's the thing that guys like Adam and me hate. My birthday was very, very chill. But I realized how, uh, how lucky I am to have the wife I got. I'm going to break it down for you. Listen, man. This isn't the regular opster, you know, filled with piss and v. vinegar. I'll get to that part of me in a minute. I just realize how fortunate I am

because my wife's apologized. I'm like, you know what? Just knowing this is what this is what's going to drive the haters nuts. Just knowing I'm loved is all that matters on my birthday. And I meant it. What the fuck does happen?

Very convincing. Yes. I believe you meant it. First off, I wish the best for Opie. I, in no way, don't have a bad damn. I'm sorry that it rained so much on his birthday. That sucks.

That's a wine for bagels. I was really upset for him. But what the fuck just happened with his wife apologizing to him? Yeah. Yeah. His wife knew, you know, this is so disappointing.

I'm sure you're sad because he was moping around. Yep. This is how he feels. They all say this. They're all like, I know you all want me to just die in a pit of misery.

No one wants that. Everyone wants that. Everyone wants. your show to be successful, not just for you, Opie, but for selfish reasons. Yes. Vinny. We all, too. I don't like him very much.

Fair enough. I'm just saying. But we wish the best for him. No one wants. We're not sitting here laughing if he gets, well, maybe a little bit. But we wished him well when his mother passed. And it just shows I think that he does sit around going, I wish they all would die. I hope they're dogs to die.

I hope they don't have success. I wish the worst on everyone. Aaron and Holt does the same thing. where Aaron will sit there like, you ought to run me off the internet and you failed at it. It's like, nobody wanted to run me off the internet. We like making fun of you. We hope that you do five shows a day instead of just those two. Don't you understand that if you were to be

involved in any kind of true crime thing involving your family? Who do you think they're going to go to? They're going to come to us. We hope you become so famous. We hope everything happens to you. Well, I'm finding we're on Netflix. We're talking about Opie murdering his family, but whatever. I'm on Netflix. Who cares? Here we are.

What an expensive set. But you're right, though. That's a really good point, Adam, is that I wouldn't even think that people who make fun of me want me to kill myself or end my show or something like that. There's people in the chat right now that I'm sure enjoy making fun of me while we're doing the show right here. But the fact that that's where Opie's mind goes, oh, the haters are seething because right now I'm having a lovely time with my wife who loves me, and I'm recognizing that.

That's a weird thing to think, unless that's how you live your life. Right. He sounds like a super villain while he's saying that. In case you missed it, he has to hammer it home at the end with whatever that was when he just got to tell you the truth or whatever that. And it goes back again, the Aaron Imhole parallel here for Stiltoe. Aaron won't show about the fact that we haven't done this little piggy in a few weeks. And so Aaron is taking this victory lap after victory lap about how he ran our show off the internet. But before when we were doing the show, he's like, oh, they need that because I'm box office.

The only way they can make money is talking about me. when really the whole time he's like, please go away. Please just go away and stop talking about me. That's all I really want. And the only joy he really finds is in knowing that Patrick Milton is in pain. Yes. Well, the same with Kevin Pretted for that part. So Tony asks, all right, you got dinner reservations.

Was it the whole family or was just you and the misses on your birthday? I have a question, bro. Did you go to dinner alone or did you take the kids altogether? Oh, no. We like our kids. No, no, no, I know. but every once in a while you need a little bit of romance. Oh, no, we, uh, honestly, we need to do more of that in general, but we just really like being around our kids.

No, I get it. I get it. My kids are cool. They're cool. I mean, it's not a dumb question. Did you bring, was it the whole family or just you and your wife? What the fuck, man? I love my kids.

You know, I didn't say you didn't. It has to get defensive about every fucking thing. I didn't like your kids. I assume you do. You talked about how you were excited to be indoors with them all weekend, but. It might be nice just to see you in the business to go out.

They're old enough to fight for themselves at home. It's a guy's talking morning show. He's just trying to find something interesting in this really boring, slow complaining story. So Opie tries to be humble right here.

And there's one thing he's really bad at it. It's being humble. It's the amount of, you know, you know, having a little spot out here, let's just put it that way it humbles it humbles you no it's a little it's it's it's a little spot it's nothing crazy okay so your spot isn't a big spot you got a little spot i got a little spot out here the hamptons now now hold on can i stop you i do have the ocean view i know i got the ocean view

is the little spot three bedrooms four bedrooms two bedrooms what do you got one two three four four it's not a little spot bro you're crazy You're walking into like a room full of, what do you call? Munich's. Even if you walk into a room full of Munich's with a one-inch prick, guess what? You got the biggest prick in a room. Munich's.

Munuchs. Germans, they're German. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm funded by that. I'm a Munich, Tony. I'll be anything my dick is. I don't answer that, anyone. But clip it.

Don't clip it. I'm not Jewish. So, yeah, apparently Opie wants to be like, guys, this is a small house. How many bedrooms is it? He didn't know off the top of his head. He had to start counting in his head. He did.

It was four. He just could not let it be. There's just one bedroom for each of us. He had, he couldn't be humble. He had to four, five, I don't know. He was playing into that so Tony could then feel less than. Okay. But I think there's also a thing where Opie, because he's on the second story overlooking the,

this is a nice house. I'm not saying it's the biggest mansion. I bet there's a lot. bigger mansions near him. And he's looking at that and going like, no, Tony, you don't understand. I'm like a poor person out here. And so he has to complain about the people who have more than him. When you thought you did well for yourself, come out here and you realize it's only the tip of the iceberg.

There are people that are flying in on helicopters. You know that we have a rush hour helicopter traffic that goes right by my window. And that's all the really, really fucking over the top. crazy rich people just casually and then jumping on their helicopter to be out in the Hamptons for the day. So two questions. One, why don't you make friends with them?

Because they're all assholes. All right. But assholes, you need an asshole. Every once in a while you need an asshole to fund some madness. You understand? The richer they are, the more of an asshole they are. There's a blanket statement right there. So Opie's just jealous.

This is what it comes out to. I have to tell you, this neighborhood that I'm in right now. You go up the street a little ways. Not at this level, not Hampton's level, but some pretty rich people this way. It's a nice neighborhood. I like it. There's street lights. You know what I mean? It's a nice white road. You must be coping and seething and looking into windows with jealousy and just feeling terrible. I was able to buy a house here. I'd love to be the poorest person in my neighborhood. I was younger when you have a career and you see somebody who's doing as well as you'd like to be doing and you admire them. And maybe you become

friends with them and you learn quickly, oh, there's somebody above him that that person feels the same way about. Like, you learn this when you're younger and allows you to go, okay, I'll remember that when I'm talking to people that I should be lucky, fortunate and grateful and express that to him. And he has no idea. Opie, you're the asshole. You just explained it. You're the asshole to him. There's no other way to take it. Right. And it's wild that Tony is seeing past that. He's like, Listen, I know. You rich pricks are the worst. I get it.

But I mean, oh, he opened up your hearts, man. Who's going to get the invite to the beach house this summer first? Tony or Ron? I'm going, Tony. Maddie. Maddie. I'm going to. I bet Tony gets the invite just to stick it in Ron's face.

Yeah. He's not letting him in his house. Yeah, probably not. That's a good point. It probably reeks like Matthew Lewinsky's apartment. He's like, you play with your friends outside. All right. So, Tony.

His children are literally cold. They are very cool. Tony is sending us a signal, it seems like, over here. I don't think it's smart in this new world. I think you truly got to pick aside and dig deep in. I mean, deep. Now, you can dabble on both sides. You can dabble on both sides.

I'm going to continue. That's what I think that's what this world needs. Yes, more dabbling. Very good. Tony's now. Dabble on, Opie. We've had this debate. Is Tony P paying attention to this shit?

Like when he kept bringing up producer Chris the other day, who's producer Chris? Who could possibly know who that is? And now he's talking about dabbling? Well, like Rock O to stuttering John, as soon as he said dabble, Opie was out of the frame. You're right.

Do you want to take it outside, Tony P? Say it again. What are we doing for this next clip? What's your setup for this? I don't know. This is Tony is scared. Just tell you. Tell me what you think Tony is talking about here

Because I really have no idea. Okay. And I think back to the old Opian Anthony show and I think, oh my God, Shane Gillis would have been a regular on Opian Anthony and he would have crushed. Listen, bro, I think that's what's happening in this world. Everybody's just fucking fed up of all of that bullshit. Everybody finally woke up and said to themselves,

you know something? I'm going to be scared of a dude in a dress? No. No, I'm not going to live in a world where I'm scared of a dude in a dress. Right. You know, be whatever the hell. you want to be, but I'm not going to be scared of you.

Hope he's checked out. I don't know what Tony P's talking about. Tony P is very conservative. And so he's talking about the shift in the culture where, you know, we can let retard fly, which is a lot of fun. But I don't know who was ever afraid of a dude in the dress. What's he talking about? I think Tony P. was.

I think he still is. I think all this is about. Right. Because they were not talking about that at all. They were talking about something completely different and Shane Gillis. and he just jumps in with this. Yeah. Some people are afraid of clowns, Carl.

You know, like, it doesn't, it shouldn't be surprising that someone's afraid. I'm afraid of clowns. Someone in there to know. The creepy, yeah, if you kidding me? Carl, this is coming. Who likes, who likes clowns?

I can't think of a single clown that I would enjoy. Why did Tony say? Aye. Hey. Why did he say that? That's a good question. What is he talking about?

That's why, when you sent me that clip, I was watching. I'm like, where did this come from? This is just out of nowhere. He's being brave. And Opie's just like, oh, yeah, yeah, okay. I'm not afraid to no, no guys in dresses. Well, Opie is a pro.

He's one of the top five broadcasters of all time. And so he knows how to end a show on a high note. And you know some double time and a half, baby. I wish I got some time and a half. I got one $10 super chat and the guy, you know, was just being a dick and he thinks I'm going to read his stupid. Dick comment for $10. I just grab your $10 and no one

even saw what you wrote. I don't know. You got to fucking say it. Say it. Say what stupidity he said. That way he'll buy it again. He won't buy it. It's a one-time shot. You understand if you say it. Whatever. Whatever. It's a tough shit. I'm not reading dumb comments because you gave me $10.

I'd rather read the $10 super chats for people that enjoy what we do. I think that's it though. I think we covered everything. I don't know. Whatever. I mean, whatever. Good stuff, Opie.

Oof. Real good stuff. I gotta go. So Opie hasn't gotten to the read insults for income level of his career yet. That was he's telling us? He's like right on the edge. He's right there. He's so close.

I mean, there's ways to do it, guys. There's ways to sneak him past the goalie. Producer Chris references and other things like that. But Tony said it right there. Tony was like, why don't you just end the show with that? It's a way to end it. You have no way to get out. And nobody's like, no, no, no, I'll handle it.

And then had nothing. It's like, okay, whatever, bye. Perfect. Perfect conclusion on that. What have we done today? We've done it all. We've talked about Aaron Imholt and the big donation he got that wasn't so big after all.

He had to give all the money back. Artie Fletcher's former roommate came on and told us all about the whoppers. Arty cannot stop telling. This is a compulsive liar. Joe Manorice is a brand new podcast. It's supposed to be about moving to Philly, but it turns out it's really just about how much he likes fast times or Richmond High and wishes he was still in high school.

Opie is trying to pit Ron and Tony against each other. And we'll see where that ends up. You know what that means? It's not for everyone's favorite part of the show. The teaser. The Twitter. It's part of the show we play. Come from the podcast that we'll be reviewing on the next episode this Saturday.

We'll be back with Trucker Andy on the show. And Adam Thoreau sent in this suggestion for us to check out. And he's a smart lad that Adam Thoreau. Your brain, if you want to do that. So let me... You're listening to the Fierce Valley podcast, episode 206. 49 benefits of being... fat. I'm your host, Vinnie Wellsby, pronoun, say them. Let's do it. Vitty's pissed to me right now.

That's right. Fierce Fanny is coming back. We have an episode that just came out, 49 benefits of being fat. And Vinny, you're going to wish you put that OZempeg away. Fuck you. Fuck you. When you find out with some of these benefits of being fat, let's find out what benefit number one is, as a little tease. Look with your eyeballs and your brain, if you want to do that. So let me list out the benefits. benefits of being fat. Forty-nine benefits of being fat. Number one. This is no particular order, by the way. Number one, curves or fat rolls and movement can make dancing look extra fluid or dramatic, right? Especially underwater. Oh, have you seen those underwater videos of fatness? Oh. Yeah, they're called whales. I've seen videos of whales. I hope you stay underwater until you match the color of it. Number 48. You don't have to go for a walk. So that's Vinnie Wellsby, who we've talked about on the show before, The Fierce Faddy,

and we'll be breaking that down with Trucker Andy on Saturday. If you want to watch that live with us, you can do that by becoming a member here on YouTube or by going to patreon.com slash who are these podcasts? The Saturday shows are all available to our members. 2 p.m. Eastern is when we record them. Adam's dying right now. All right. It is that time.

It's that time where I pretend to be. a game show host Is it weird or is it gay? What will Aaron say today? Is it gay? Welcome, Megan. Good to see you. Hello.

It's been a little while. And Annie, good to see you again. Welcome back, Megan. Yes, we have, Is It Gay? Which I'm very excited about because I've missed this game. Me too.

I don't even know if Aaron's calling things gay or not, because we're not playing, is it gay? We're going to tell me that he is? calling things gay. At least three things. I don't have to worry about that. So yes, Megan is put together an addition of, is it gay?

If you don't know how this game is played, do we watch Aaron talk about some nonsense? And we find out whether he's going to call it gay or not, because Aaron's not creative. And the jokes that he tells are mostly that things are gay. And we have to determine whether it's gay or not. Five rounds, one point for each correct answer. Let's get into it round one.

Rob Notford Trump says it's entertaining, but it's toxic. What is all the shit we talk about every day? What is war? Yeah, I got bad news. Politics. Right. Hi. How you doing?

It's incredibly toxic. Again, I just want to be there when they finally figure it out. Conditioner on my D says they're dysfunctional drug addicts who should not be around each other. I mean, yeah, if you're no fucking fun. Starting to sound like you, Carl. I know. All right. So this is an old one, but is it gay to not find, again, not find Ethan and Scarlett more entertaining than politics?

Adam? No. Carl? Yes, it is gay to not find Ethan and Scarlet more interesting to politics. Vinnie? I'm going gay. Chris. For the question.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going not gay. Annie. Uh, gay. All right. The panel is split on this one. Let's find out. If you're fucking gay.

See what makes me happy now? See how I've reached my breaking point with new. This is what I love about Aaron's show right now. Is that when everyone was making fun of him, he didn't care about drama. You don't have to drama over here. That's what all you dummies in the devilverse do. And now that Mersh is getting. getting dumped and Ethan, Ralph and Scarlett are having their little breakup session.

And of course, Carmick getting dumped. Don't forget Carmen. He fucking loves it. Now we can't. Every episode title I see is about someone from the dabble verse going through hard times and he can't wait to talk about it. And suddenly he has all these clips ready to show what everybody's up to you. But when it comes to him, there's none available.

This was from a few weeks ago. So he's been, you know, this has been on his mind. He's like, I don't want to talk about politics anymore. I want to talk about all you people now. Yeah, I know. He's realized the drama sells. That's the only time he made money since he left Twitch was when he was talking about his polycule and all the drugs and fucking they were up to him.

All right. Round two of, is it gay? You're either going to have to keep doing it again and again, or you can just let it die. And I understand it's a budget carrier. It's going to help the industry because then more people will be able to afford to fly, and that's good for the economy. But like, if enough people wanted to fly Spirit Airlines, enough people would have flown Spirit Airlines to keep it in the air.

Just giving them a $500 million check and saying, here you go, guys, keep going. Is it gay to bail out Spirit Airlines? Annie. Not gay. Chris. Not gay. Vinny. Gay.

Carl. I got to go gay. I'm going gay in this one. Not gay. All right. Let's find out. It's very somber. It's so us.

It's so what we do. It's what we do. Damn it. Went against my instincts on that one. But what he does is kind of gay, right? Like, we can give me half. That's true. It doesn't count.

Referring to us. Yeah. boy. All right, round three coming at you. And a linebacker from I think Cincinnati who's going to be really good. And then that Miami safety I'm really excited about too. So

I like the Vikings draft. I think we made great use to the picks we have. However, I did ask a bunch of dudes in the sauna quote, who's excited about game five tonight? Ugh. That's like I didn't realize how bad that was

until I just said it to you out loud now. Is it gay to ask if you're excited about game five in Asana, Adam? Well, to Vinny's point, it's also gay to tell us about it. So, yeah. Carl? Gay. Vinny. Gonna have to go gay again.

It's like it's college. I think it's a setup, but I got to say gay. Annie gay all gay united are all gay I'm ashamed of myself so gay yes so gay

all right very good that was that was a softball you have that one over the plate for us we appreciate that all right round four coming up on the is it gay game it's exciting return silver carp, 23 grass carp, and four big head carp on November 30th. The agency calls it the largest single capture of invasive carp in Minnesota to date. Williams on the waterfront.

He drags across the grind. Six tagged invasive carp in that area of the river days earlier. See, look at how much more boring we are than other states. These rednecks go down the river, and they're like whacking these things with baseball bats and shit. Is it gay to capture carp with fishing nets instead of baseball bats? Annie? Not gay. Chris.

Not gay. Vinny. Not gay. Carl. Gay. Adam. I'm going gay if Carl's going gay. All right.

Now we're talking. Let's go. And we're just bringing nets and dragging them. Gay? Yes. So does. Yes. I got my point back from round two. So behind on the fun.

He's so predictable. All right. Round five. This round is also worth one point. And then we have our final round worth three points. So it's anybody's game right now. What are the scores? Producer Chris? Carl, you have three.

Vinny has two. Adam has three. And he has three. I have two. All right. It's anyone's game. Round three. Or five, I said.

She's like, you better be respectful and nice. It's like, bitch, he's out way past his bedtime. Like, they get, like, the elderly get cranky when they're out past seven. They want to be in bed by 715, 7.30, asleep by 8, and they get up at 4. All right? So don't blame him when he gets snippy at you when you keep him out late. The elderly are like Gremlins. Should get him wet.

Oh, boy. Okay. So this is about Al Pacino. Okay. What? Which parts. That podcast was about Philly. Just FYI.

Just FYI. Okay. Is it gay that this is Michael Correleone, now that he's an old man, Adam? No. Carl I'm going Not gay on this one Vinny

Picking up points Gay All right Chris Not gay Annie I'm going with Vinnie and saying gay All right

Got two gays It's just weird that that's Michael Corleone Yeah just weird All right Just weird With this could be Age

Aaron it's like a thing, everybody. It's not unique to Al Pacino. What the fuck? It could be the gay or weird game at some point out here. All right. What are the scores? Producer Chris.

All right. Carl and Adam have four. The rest of us have three. I'm sorry, Vinnie, you got two. Aw. Yeah. All right. Sorry.

Here we go. You can come back, though. Many, this is worth three points. And this is not gay or not gay. Megan's going to give us three different choices after we hear the set up to this. Don't screw this one up. I thought it was really funny. I'll try it out.

Strippers got me banned says Aaron stopped talking about the Mholt curse. It's not going to have Hey, by the way, get strippers got me banned a membership. Please. Sam show says he'll be fine. He climbed into a car. But you fucking killed Chuck Norris and

you killed Hulk Hogan too. I'm still not taking responsibility for the Hulk Hogan one, even though the audience said Aaron, within month of you going to the Holcogen Beach shop and posing with his belts he died and they're kind of blaming

me for that and like in a way I get it but I don't think that should count. I did it I paused at the right spot. You're so good at this Aaron's chat is blaming him for recent celebrity deaths who do they not

blame Aaron for killing one then is Venezuelans, two, Muslims, or three, Jews. Annie. The Venezuelans. Chris. Muslims. Benny.

I'm also taking Muslims. Carl. I'm going Jews. Adam. I fucking hate this game. I'm going to go with the Jews. All right. Let's find out.

Probably Muslims. Papa Shab says you touched his belt and he died. Oh, now Sam Shoe says, you never killed Jews. Wait a minute. Is Luke Perry a Jew? Yes. For some reason, I just thought Aaron might just maybe say Jews on that. And it turned out that he did.

So does that mean Adam and I tie? That is correct. Good game, Adam. Good game. Congratulations. Good stuff. I feel just as bad when I get it wrong as I do when I get it right. Right?

I know. It's not like you're like, oh, good. It's never a good feeling. It's never a good feeling at all. Thank you. Brilliant game. As always, Megan, of course, there is some concern with Aaron getting off of YouTube. YouTube makes it a lot easier to make this game.

Well, you know what? I saw he's been reposting his shows as premieres on YouTube. so thank you, Aaron. Awesome. Why is he doing that? You can't make, he can't monetize it at all. I think he's trying to keep the,

I think he's trying to keep YouTube relevant. Smart. So when he gets monetized again, they'll still be all the videos there. Just, just my guess. That is very smart. All right,

you guys ready to play Simon's Opie or Burr game? Have you played some for, uh, many? I have not, but I know the game. All right, let's go.

Hey guys, it's me And here's Opio burn Shut up and give me another drink Before round one And you know one thing man You know when I When I contemplate

Taking somebody out I go through the scenario You know I go through the scenario And this is what I think You know they They look at the shoes, right? time to register those votes

Vinny, you're the newbie. What do you got? Oh, man, my gut says opi. So I'm going to go with it. I'm going Billy Burr. What do you think, Adam? Beebe. Megan.

Burr. Annie. Opie. Producer Chris. Burr. All right, we got four burrs, two opies. Let's find out. And here's the answer.

For that. And, you know, one thing, man. You know, when I contemplate taking somebody out, I go through the scenario. You know, I go through the scenario. And this is what I think. You know, they look at the shoes, right? And when they see I don't have shoes on, they don't know what to do. The police won't help you in round two.

Yela, you look at the earth from above. It's a tiny speck in a massive universe. and we can't get along and figure it out. Time to register those votes. PC. Burr. Annie. Opie. Megan? Opie?

Adam. I'm also going Billy Burr on this one. Vinny, what do you got? I'm going to take Opie again. All right. And here's the answer. You look at the... Earth from above. It's a tiny speck in a massive universe, and we can't get along and figure it out.

Idiots can't even figure out how to walk around on Greg shells. Wow, that was a tough one. I really thought that was a Bill Burrism on that one. Well, played Simon, even Anthony Coomier got that one wrong. All right, round three. Kenopee, get along with his coworkers in round three. Did I just say our therapy? Yeah, me and the voices in my head.

There you go. But anyway, I got, I tried a bunch of new shit. Time to register those votes. These two are identical. How is that possible? I'll go first. I think that's going to be Bill Burr on this one, Adam. Burr.

Megan. Sir. Burr? You got Burr? Yeah. Vinny? Let it ride. I'm taking Opie.

All right. I like it. Andy, what do you got? Bill Burr. Producer Chris? It's got to be Burr. It's got to be burr. All right.

Let's find out. Vinny could steal a point here. And here's the answer. Did I just say our therapy? Yeah, me and the voices in my head. There you go. But anyway, I got a. I tried a bunch of new shit.

I'm on Nia's team now. That lip smacking is ridiculous from Bill Burr. Yeah, if you'd put the lip smacking in that description, I would have got it. No, okay, all right. Nia actually voted Opie on that last one. Makes sense. Why can't you be more like your mother in round four? Three days, huh, huh?

And then it comes out of that. And they looked outside at the corner. Oh, yeah. Hell yeah. Where did you go? I don't know. That song. We went laughing through the garbage.

Time to register those votes. God damn it. So many similarities. What do you got, producer Chris? I don't think Opie likes Jane's addiction. I'm going per. Okay. Okay, Vinny.

I'm going Burr, too, because I think there was like a little bit of a drum thing happening there. Mm-hmm. All right, I'm going to Bill Burr as well, Adam. Opie. Megan? Opie. Annie. Bill Burr.

All right, we're split on this one. And here's the answer. Three days one and it comes out of that. And da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. and they looked outside at the corner. Do, yeah. Hey, yeah, where did you go? I don't know.

That song. We went laughing through the garbage. Who was that for? You don't understand what it's like to be round five. All right, before we get into round five, what are the scores? Producer Chris. Annie is sweeping it, and she's got four, and the rest of us suck. All right.

Yours to lose, Annie. I think I'd go with a good vanilla ice cream over chocolate. Time to register those votes. The opster says I. Annie, what do you got? I think it's opi. Vinny? I'm also taking Opie. Megan?

Opie. Adam. It has to be Opie. PC. Opie. Why does it have to be Opie, Adam? What's your rationale on that? I already forgot.

Perfect. And here's the answer. I think I go with a good vanilla ice cream over chocolate. What if the chocolate has a little, little, little, and I mean little tone? Congratulations. This week's winner will receive two VIP tickets to Stuttering John's funeral. This has been Simon from the worst ever podcast. Goodbye

That's exactly what I wanted Congratulations, Annie. That's an amazing prize, but don't get too excited. I hear there's going to be lots of seats. That's a good point. Can't paper the room. So the reason why I thought it had to be Opie is because when Opie's going to this sugar addiction withdrawal,

he was saying that he eats a ton of ice cream. That's why he has cut out sugar. He loves ice cream so much. So I figured, he'd be more likely than Bill Bird to be talking about ice cream on there. Yeah. Megan, we haven't heard anything about our Spotify comments a little while. Of course, this is an audio podcast.

We're available wherever you listen to podcasts. Spotify being one of those places. And you can comment on individual episodes when you listen on Spotify. And Megan likes to go through and finds ones that color are cute. So what do we got for us? Well, I have a bunch of them that I saved from the past few episodes so I can rapid fire them. if you'd like. Please, let's go.

All right, let's... Hold on. Do, do, do, do. All right. So let's start at episode 722. Kenny says, Hello, police. This is stuttering John,

and Megan is reading mean comments about me on Spotify. Please arrest her. Is that where you were gone? Were you in jail this whole time? No, it's because I got some group text from you saying, I want to watch the Sabres game Can we start an hour early?

And I'm like... That is true. You were so happy when they lost in overtime of Game 7. Finally. You didn't see Mrs. Hughes where you were or any members of the family or any Shelly Miss Cabbage, right? Everything was all right. All good.

Sorry, I won't stop you again. Keep going. Jay Santi 76 says, For someone that is extremely wealthy, John Shurlake's crap pizza, Red Baron is the cheapest and worst frozen pizza. Also, when are we getting video on Spotify? I don't want to watch the whole show. I just want to see Megan when she chuckles and laughs.

You can always come on YouTube for that. You can always on YouTube. She's always on there. Vinny, your thoughts on Red Baron pizza? I have none. I can't ever remember having one in my life. Correct. That's the right answer.

It's true. You can get it at the 7-11 next to Carl's house. That's true. I'm not invited to Carl's house either. Episode 723, Comquot TV tuning says Megan and Annie Rule. Nice. Episode 724, Tuky's unpaid staff says, if you want to listen to a show, talk about comshot size, then this podcast is for you. That's good comment.

Jerry the jerk says, good grief. Don't ever play Howard and Beth talking about Tamshod. Pampons again. Great show, though. Five stars. That was wild. Beth forgets she's a tampon in and throws another tampon in there? You know, doctors recommend to not wear those, so. Two at a time, you mean? Or leaving him in there for days? Just in general. Yeah, yeah. That just told me about that. I was like, I'm pulling out that. Yeah. Definitely not too. I'll get it. I think she comes up with a lot of weird excuses to avoid him. Probably. Okay. Episode 725, slow to

dancer said, EDR was great, more EDR. Sounds good. I agree with that. I like it. Episode 726, some guy in New Hampshire says, everyone has that moment when they ask, why am I listening to WATP? For me, it's when you make, it's when you have to hear what's up with Richard Marks. Yes, I'm that disturbed. Oh, way bad, them. I actually enjoy when you cover him. It's very silly. I guess his drunk wife. Episode 727, Backdoor Benji says,

If you replace Stetjo's alcoholism with Tom Meyer's sense of humor, you get Artie. Hmm. Wow. Interesting. Hmm. It's an interesting cocktail. Yep. And then last week, episode 728, some guy in New Hampshire,

says, hey, Ope, a better historical fact than Paul Revere's ride is when the co-host texted, the little cunt won't even look at me. Remember that one? That was a good historical fact. I like it. I have another comment. Happy birthday, Megan. Is it gay to say that online to someone who you've never met face-to-face? No, it's not. And then I have one more from episode 729. I love that you kept my signs. She's split on that one. Jurassic Reptile said,

thank goodness John left the dabble verse so we can get back to the Stephanie Miller tapes. Yes, Stephanie Miller has been a hit. I've enjoyed those two. Nice. Annie, do we have any new reviews that have come in? Yes, yes, we do. One coming in from H. Rod,

Hi, Christian Blatt. Hi, Crohn. Hi, Grant. Is that everyone? I think it is. Grant made the list. Should have enough video off. That's been hilarious.

Like a hackamania poster. I have some voicemails before I do that. Adam, anything to plug this week? I'm going to be on Pat Dixon's show on Friday at 2 o'clock. And I'm sure we'll talk about all the Dabbleverse things. And also there was a surprisingly an interesting episode of MLC

involving Anthony Coomia and Liam McAnney talking about politics. I don't know. I suggest everybody check it out. It's really interesting. Yes. Speaking of which,

I will be doing Dabbleverse Live tomorrow, 4 p.m. Eastern on the WTP channel. But it's also a podcast. So you can listen to it wherever you listen to podcast, Dabbleverse Live. And normally it's Blind Mike and myself. Blind Mike is on vacation. So I have Cardiff Electric filling in for Blind Mike.

It will be covering MERS getting dumped by Ice Dancer and Anthony on MLC. And a lot of things that have been happening in the devil versus week. It's actually been the opposite of a slow news week. Patrick Melton made a return. So much to discuss on there. Annie, anything you're promoting. I would like to promote skeptical robot with Luigi Greenberg and Gummy Chainsaw. It's over on the Luigi Greenberg channel on Front.

Friday nights. Go check it out. I got merch from them at Hackamania. Speaking of Hackamania, I ran into a good buddy of ours. Black Aaron was there. Hey, Carl, this is Black Aaron. This one to let you know, down track. Down track. Down track.

Not track. It's not something you get at church. Down the track. People like being corrected. Thank you for that. Hey Carl, I'm out here enjoying my Memorial Day weekend, got my ween shirt on, going for a bike ride, strapping on my guitar, going to fly my drone, going to listen to a podcast. Hmm, what else can I do? Shout out Drew Lane's name.

Holy shit, it's like with the same person. That's amazing. That guy didn't do any meth. He doesn't talk about it yet. I'm out of the closet of my meth habits. D. Lux's coming in. Carl, D. Lux. I don't know.

You might have heard this. already, but clavicleer came up with a new phrase. When you meet somebody, if you tell them about all your successes, all the money you made, every time they say something, you come back with a great job. You have the hot chick you had. That's called Duke Maxing. And it gets you all the checks. I like that.

I think Artie Fletcher is Duke Maxing the way that he's been behaving lately. Yeah, it never fails to put a smile on my face. It's so simple. But it's... insult to John when he just, it's like throwing the papers in the air. He's like, you stink. It's so great. I love that.

You stink. You don't need to say anything more. You stink. Thank you for the smile. Thank you. Thank you for your call. You stink. Oh, Ronnie, and Syracuse, love you, love the show.

But Lucy watches Judge Millian, well, so do I. And those things are on YouTube. I'll tell you. If you could get her to do a show where she watches a case and comments on it with her insights as a paralegal, I would pay money to watch that thing. I know there might be issues with licensing and rights, but it is on YouTube. So there you go. We want to see Lucy does the real court show. Don't call me back.

Ryan and Syracuse just pitched a show for Lucy without mentioning what type of top she should be wearing on that show. Yes It's unanimous I'm not Stern's book over there I don't know if this is a voicemail or not Sounds like somebody just called And sat on their phone

I got butt dialed Got butt down on the voicemail Oh yeah This is definitely a butt dial Let's listen in What's going out of Applebee's What this guy's calling the show All right

that's enough for me. Anything that I missed at him, what did I do wrong? Give me my real-time feedback notes. No, I think we did it all. And I think we did it all well and correctly. Oh, I didn't get videos plugs. That's what I was saying. You got to end it now.

End it now. You did great. Vinny, what do you got going on, buddy? I do a show with a real fucking asshole every Monday. Next week it's to be on Tuesday. Oh, Matt, David. We don't have time for you. Sorry about that.

Doing a show for the Rochester Comedy Festival. July 18th, Vinny's Dirty Jokebook. You get your tickets now at Carlsoncom. Ooh, could I come up and read to Artie Fletcher jokes? Absolutely. Yes. In the parking lot. Oh.

I mean, I've seen comedy shows at that parking lot before, so that's true. Oh, that artisan work, so no you haven't. Shut up. Fuck off. I got to go. Bye. I got to go. I got to go.

I got to go. I got to go. Okay. Bye. Yes. Thank you for tuning in. Bye. Bye.
