Who Are These Podcasts? - Ep738 - Opie’s Breakthough, Brendan Schaub, Aaron Imholte, StutJo, Chad Zumock, Jerry Banfield

Episode Date: June 25, 2026

We start off discussing Chad Zumock’s GoFundMe. The Zman wants to film a comedy special and he needs you to help his struggling comedy career. The way Chad is asking for money, with an AI written no...nsensical explanation of why this is important for independent creators, is hilariously bad even for Chad. Brendan Schaub has completely changed his schedule and at the same time, his career. He’s given up on podcasting and now just wants people to pay him to answer questions. Jerry Banfield thinks he was a millionaire twice and that he’ll be a millionaire again. None of that is true. Stuttering John recorded another Cameo and he’s looking rough! We revisit Howard Stern getting to the bottom of the Stuttering John and Friends tour that was extremely profitable for one guy, John Melendez. Opie finally recognizes his show is the kind of mindless drivel he and the boys mocked mercilessly during Jocktober segments. Tony can only respond by asking if he needs a hug. Why is Ron the Waiter saying no one is donating to his Venmo? Where is the money going?? Aaron Imholte can’t handle the pressure of the goal and he takes out his anger and frustration on one of his loyal donators. Megan and Annie join for a round of “Is It Gay?” (Mersh themed) and the Opie or Burr game. We finish with comments, reviews, and voicemails.

Eric Nibault goes hard at one of his few supporters and immediately regrets it.
Starting point is 00:03:09 Megan and Annie will be here for Is It Gay, Simon's Opier Burr game, reviews, voicemails, but first, Chad Zumach needs your money. It's time. To mock, Zoom mock. So, Miserables Company, MLC, Kevin Brennan goes along on the weekends.
Starting point is 00:03:30 and he was doing a six-hour stream or five-hour stream or something like that. And all of a sudden, Chad Zubak hops on. He's coming back from a gig, and he's got the link, so he pops on to join Kevin Brennan, and he's got a big announcement
Starting point is 00:03:44 on this episode of MLC. I'm going to throw this out there. I haven't promoted it, but I have a goat-fought-me for my special. It's it, goat-fund-me? He's not sober, is he? I thought he was, Because we're going to see an email that he sent out to his fans,
Starting point is 00:04:02 claiming sobriety's the way. You just can't talk. Well, it's possible. I haven't promoted it, but I have a GoFodMe for my special. Oh, wow, I didn't know that. I'm just putting it out there. I'm trying to get it.
Starting point is 00:04:18 It's a thing. How do you, where is it? It's on GoFundMe. Go find it. I never plugged it. What's a call? What's a call? So wait, if you just wear sunglasses,
Starting point is 00:04:26 nobody knows that you're drunk? Is that the thing? Is that what I'm going? should have done. It's not working. It's on GoFund Me. He's great a promotion, isn't he? You could fund it on GoFind me.
Starting point is 00:04:41 I never promoted it then or now. Where is it? It's on GoFund me. Go find it. I never plugged it. What's a call? Chad Zumach Special. Just put Chad Zumach and GoFund Me and then... Why did it say you've never plugged it?
Starting point is 00:04:56 If no one knows about it, then you're plugging it now. It was the difference. Who cares when you put it up? He's apologizing. It's really odd. He's like, I don't want to be doing this here, Kevin. But yeah, normally. So when you go there now and you see zero funded, you're not like judging him.
Starting point is 00:05:10 He hasn't even promoted. That's the reason, right, because you're going to see a date that that was created and see that it's just his aunt who's giving him five bucks so far. I want to do a special this year and I want to make it because I got. I can't wait to promote this because I'm going to, I'm going to get attacked, but I can't wait. Again, Chad can walk. Melton can't.
Starting point is 00:05:32 So you can pretend like Chad's a nothing, but Chad can walk. He can tell jokes. He can talk. People saw him on side splitters. He's still going to go for me. Let Melton have fun with this, but let Mountain walk first.
Starting point is 00:05:46 Patrick Melton was not the topic of conversation. Had nothing to do with anything. Chad goes, I want to film a special this year. And Kevin goes, oh, just stick it to Melt it, right? Is that what these guys live their whole fucking lives for? to stick it to Melton. Rent free. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:06:02 Like, Patrick Melton hasn't been on the internet in weeks, months, years. I don't remember. And Kevin Brennan, still, it's the first thing he thinks of. Oh, yeah, they're going to make fun of you, Chad. You know, Patrick Melton well. But he's in horrible pain. He has back pain. So you win, Chad, by default.
Starting point is 00:06:20 I mean, can you imagine if Chad put that on his poster? Chad can walk and he can talk, says Kevin Brennan. Yeah. That would be like a quote, Arnie Fletcher put out of front of his book. Exactly. This guy's wild. Let Melton do a show first.
Starting point is 00:06:36 So I'll be promoting this heavily. So Kevin's thing. And you see, like, Chad's just like, wait, why are we talking about Patrick Melton? What's going on here? So Kevin Brennan's thing is like,
Starting point is 00:06:45 I'm not going to promote this because I think you're a good comedian and deserve money from people to put out a special. I'm promoting because I think it'll piss off Patrick Melton if you raise money. I can tell you something about Patrick Melton. I know pretty well at this point.
Starting point is 00:06:57 point. He doesn't give a fuck how much money anyone else makes. I mean, he makes fun of Kevin for talking about which money he makes all the time. Yeah. But he doesn't give a fuck. He's doing fine. Well, probably not anymore. And he's probably on unemployment now, but he was doing well for a while. Almost on a daily basis just to stick in a melting and Tuki and the potato. Oh, so it's also going to piss off Tuki. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:07:18 Who's friends with Chad, by the way. I don't know. Kevin knows that. And the potato. We got to piss off the potato. I know one thing about Cardiff. he definitely will be mad that Chad puts out another special to rip on. That's going to suck more content for Chad Zuma. God damn it. Why does he have to raise money for this? Well, we'll get to that.
Starting point is 00:07:39 Oh, okay. We'll get to that. It's a good question. It's a good question. Valid question for sure. Hey, you know. And plus it's a special. It's not like me suing somebody or getting sued.
Starting point is 00:07:48 Right. Like I'm doing like a legit thing. And I did the work. Like I did. That's another thing. So Chad's whole thing is not support me, but other people did this thing. So we don't like Cardiff. So let's stick it to Cardiff.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Let's stick it to Turkey. Stick it to Melton. And then Chad's like, yeah, and this isn't even a go fund me to sue Suthering John. What's that to do with fucking anything? Like, throw it out there. Like, I added up what everything costs. It's a very reasonable price. Where are you going to do it?
Starting point is 00:08:21 Okay. So Chad is not brought. broken this down for us, but he claimed that he's added up what everything's going to cost and he knows how much money he needs to raise. And I like that. He's like, and I'm giving you guys a pretty good discount on this one. All right. Because it's my first funded special, 20% off.
Starting point is 00:08:36 I'm passing the savings out of year. Thanks, Jen. Appreciate it. 8,200. I have two locations like I'm looking at right now. So he knows the exact cost, $8,200. Where are you shooting at? Not sure yet.
Starting point is 00:08:51 No idea. Okay. That would be the biggest. cost, the biggest thing in your budget would be the venue cost. Seems like you'd want to know that. Also, how many people does it seat? How much money can you make selling tickets for this thing?
Starting point is 00:09:04 Irrelevant to the budget. Okay. It better be side splitters. It's too much pressure to fill that room. I just sold... You just did it. I just sold 215, which is crazy. Okay, well, they can paper it. Yeah, I would just...
Starting point is 00:09:18 That's a great room to tape. Yeah, Lewis J. Goldman's did his special there, so... That was such an insult. sound to Chad. Oh, they just, you know, paper the room, get a bunch of freebies out there, get the place filled up. It's a great route for that. Chad's like, yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:09:33 She's like, fuck you, man. It's crazy that Kevin Brennan or Chad would think we wouldn't want another special to come out. We might get more gems from Chad Zumak like this. Thank you. Please clap.
Starting point is 00:09:50 I force applause breaks. I force them. Some people earn them. I force them. So I'll be promoting this go fund me as well. I think it's a great idea. Evan is so far removed from being a comedian or someone who writes or creates anything that he's just an internet celebrity who creates drama to profit off of.
Starting point is 00:10:12 And he can't even fathom why Chad would be doing this outside of those reasons. It just boggles his mind. And the best compliment he can come up with is, well, he's upright. That's a positive. Yep, you could walk and talk. I heard you chew bubblegub too. I don't know. Is that true?
Starting point is 00:10:28 Triple threat. No, I don't, we'll see it happen. We'll see. Make us jealous. Show us your bank CD statements. I have investments, too. Not just CD's. Happy.
Starting point is 00:10:40 So that was the big announcement. And Chad sent an email out. And this was forwarded to me by, remember our review girl, Hannah, the lovely and talented Hannah. Who could forget? Really nice boobs. Great ass.
Starting point is 00:10:58 Oh, I mean, she was really good at reading the reviews. I'll leave you too alone. So she forwarded this to me, and I go, how did you get on Chans mailing list? She's like, I don't think I've ever gotten an email from it before. I have no idea why I'm on his mailing list. So that's kind of odd. But Chad sent out this email on Monday, June 22nd. It says, hello.
Starting point is 00:11:17 After 23 years in stand-up comedy, I'm ready to take a bold step forward. This, by the way, I'm going to read this in Chad's voice. Okay. Obviously. All right, very good. My journey has been filled with ups and downs, some of which I cause myself. But now I'm focused on moving ahead with sobriety, accountability, and a renewed passion for my craft. I've decided it's time to film my own comedy special on my terms.
Starting point is 00:11:41 Is it sound like some of the Chad wrote so far? Does that sound like Chad's voice? No. Oh, okay. I'm waiting for the voice to kick in. The reality is, the big streaming platforms aren't knocking on my door. But that doesn't mean I can't make this happen. With your support, I can bring this project to life.
Starting point is 00:11:58 Every dollar raised will go directly towards production costs, including equipment, crew, venue rental, and post-production. I've worked hard to find talented professionals willing to collaborate at a discounted rate. And I've set the goal in $8,300 to cover everything. So this is a big deal to Chad. You guys, I am passing the savings along to you. We're getting a great deal. I'm only asking people who want to give me a favor on this. Notice that in the list of things that he's figured out the,
Starting point is 00:12:27 he's calculated the cost for is venue rental. Interesting. This special is more than just a performance. It's a celebration of perseverance and a chance to prove that it's never too late to bet on yourself. This is a wild sentence. It has an M-Dash right in it. Does he think he's rocky?
Starting point is 00:12:48 What kind of inspirational comedy show is this going to be? Is this going to be a motivational speech? I think it's an AMway thing. Oh, okay, yeah, that makes sense. And if you can bring three friends, and then they bring three friends each. This special is more than just a performance. It's a celebration of perseverance
Starting point is 00:13:09 and a chance to prove that it's never too late to bet on yourself. What's this perseverance? Just because he's failed and everything he's ever done? Yeah. I'll show you I'm a comedian. Yeah. He announced he's done getting in his own way. If you've enjoyed my comedy or believe in independent creators,
Starting point is 00:13:26 I'd be grateful for your support. Let's talk about that sentence. If you've enjoyed my comedy or believe in independent creators, whatever that means. I don't really like his comedy, but I do believe in independent creators. So we got you there. So here's my money. Oh, so you don't believe in independent creators? That's what you're saying.
Starting point is 00:13:42 You're saying you don't. I would be sarcastic, wasn't I? Okay. It's not a little sarcastic. Put you down on record. No contribution is too small, and every bit helps. Bring this dream closer to reality. Thank you for being part of this journey.
Starting point is 00:13:55 Best Chad Zumach. And there's the GoFundMe link. So, you know, there's this dork that I hang out with from New Zealand named Moody. It's like real smart with computers and stuff. So he did this AI analysis on this email. We don't need it. So it says, yeah, chance this entire text is AI 100. percent.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Yeah. I see they're highly confident. Yes. We are highly confident. This text was AI generated. I have two. Yeah. It seems right.
Starting point is 00:14:28 Everything. It's spoken threes. It had that. If you want this, you'll get this. It's all of it. Inspirational. It's bullshit.
Starting point is 00:14:34 It's insane with things like, if you like my comedy or just want to support a good cause and be a good person, then donate money to me. How much time do you think you spent on that sentence that was like, I've overcome a lot of,
Starting point is 00:14:46 of adversity. Some I caused, some I didn't. Or I've had ups and downs. Some of which were my own. Some were self-inflicted, yeah. He took a lot of time on that. And I wonder if he's responsible for any of the ups or it's just the downs. Well, I can tell you this. I don't know what he's referring to that weren't his responsibility. He did not create COVID.
Starting point is 00:15:03 That was a lab and shy to long ways from here. So if that put a hamper on his career. I thought that was Gino Bisconti. That was not his fault. Something like that. Support Chad Zumach film, his independent comedy special, he's raised $1,686 of the $8.3,000 he needs, 35 donations so far.
Starting point is 00:15:27 And my name is Chad Zumach. And I'm entering my 23rd year as a stand-up comedian. My career has had a share of highs and lows. Some of the lows were self-inflicted. And they've cost me opportunities that I can never get back. But today is about moving forward and doing it the right way. So it's like he went after Pat Nasswald, claiming that he was responsible. responsible for his wife dying and really went hard in the pain on that.
Starting point is 00:15:50 He's like, uh, somebody's, uh, you know, these, uh, opportunities, I won't get back because I pissed everyone off. Yeah. People could help me out. Well, that was self-inflicted. He said it right there. Bert Kreischer. It's another example.
Starting point is 00:16:02 He used to open for Bert. And then he talked all sorts of mad shit about him and used a sock account to fuck with him on Twitter. And now Bert won't talk about him or to him anymore. I'm embarking on a new chapter, once in a sobriety accountability and honoring the 23 years I've dedicated to stand-up comedy. What does that mean? You're honoring.
Starting point is 00:16:19 Twice now. Yeah, you're right. He started with that. 23 years. Whatever. It's not even a milestone or anything like that. It's a prime number for Christ's sake. He's saying it's like his age.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Like, I'm a 23-year-old boy. My name is Chad and I'm 23 years old. That's what I'm hearing. I finally, I decided it's finally time to film a comedy special in my own terms. Then does that paragraph about how Netflix is not going to be coming him anytime soon. No shit. All right. That's where you come in.
Starting point is 00:16:45 By contributing to this, Gofund me. You're not just donating. You're becoming an executive producer of this project. Every single dollar raise will go directly toward producing this special, including production, production, camera and audio equipment, crew and staffing, venue rental, editing and post-production, marketing and promotion, distribution. You also get an executive producer title and a lanyard. Oh, that's coming. No!
Starting point is 00:17:10 That's coming, Chris. You thought you were making fun of them. I'm trying. I know. It's impossible to go out for this guy. It's too stupid. I love the, so he's just throwing in anything you possibly think of that would be costs, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:29 Distribution. See, mailing out DVDs. Hydration. Right. Craft services. I like that as crew and staffing. Are you part of the crew? Oh, no, I was the staff member.
Starting point is 00:17:42 Okay, good. Come on. Well, you're over there. Yeah. I've spent months. meeting with producers, videographers, and industry professionals to determine what will realistically cost to create a professional quality special. Months? I know.
Starting point is 00:17:56 Bullshit. This is definitely bullshit because he got that gig canceled in Colorado Springs. And they were going to pay him $3,500 to record his special and put it on their YouTube pitch. Was he meeting with videographers at that time? Because they were going to take care of all that. Seems like he's lying. they might have a say in the choice of venue or one that they have in mind. It says, while some estimates came in significantly higher,
Starting point is 00:18:22 I've been fortunate enough to connect with people, talented people, willing to work with me at a discounted rate. Because of those relationships, I'm able to put together a production plan with a goal of $8,300. This special represents more than a performance. It's a chance to bet on myself. Celebrate 23 years of perseverance, again, and prove that's never too late to take control of your own career and create something meaningful. What is this betting on yourself?
Starting point is 00:18:43 we're giving you the money. Yeah, he's not placing the bet. We are. It's our bet. Right. I think he's warning us it's a gamble. Oh, wow. Good point.
Starting point is 00:18:53 That's an insane thing to say. He's betting on himself. Does he think like, this could go sideways, everyone makes fun of me for sucking in comedy? That's right? That's the only thing that once you get the money, you didn't sound a loan.
Starting point is 00:19:04 You have to pay it back. You guys bet. You lost. No, Chris is right. It's not a performance. It's a journey. It is a journey. If you've supported me in the past,
Starting point is 00:19:12 enjoyed my commenters. believe in what I'm trying to accomplish. I would be incredibly grateful for your help. And if you give him $10, he'll give you a handwritten thank you now. Oh, that's Opie. I bet. What the fuck with all these people? It's so weird. Why would there be
Starting point is 00:19:28 what am I on? Paragraph 9 of this fucking, who's reading this far that's still undecided? Section H. Who's undecided at this point? No contamination is too small, and every donation brings this project one step closer to becoming a reality. Thank you for, I mean, that's so unnecessary. That paragraph does not need to exist anywhere ever.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Is there a minimum donation I could give you? Yeah, fuck you, it's less than five bucks. Thank you for your support, your encouragement, and for being part of this journey, Chad Zubak. Well, we're rooting for you, Chad. We want to see this special come out. We're excited about it because he said he's been working out new jokes. And they're killing.
Starting point is 00:20:08 So, uh, we want to hear. hear it. Because to me, I'm just like, oh, it's just a, it's literally a blimp in the road, man. Stupid ass can be. Bapa, Brendan Schab has changed things up quite a bit over on the thick boy YouTube channel. And he's doing things like going live multiple times a week, interacting with the chat, things he never used to do. They never live shows.
Starting point is 00:20:38 It's always the golden hours pre-recorded, or the kids pre-recorded. part of the kids pre-recorded, the Shob Show pre-recorded, put out later. Well, I think one of the reasons why things are changing is that back in August of 2023, Brendan Shob signed with Podcast One. And Podcast One picked up the fighting the kid, the Shab Show, Golden Hour.
Starting point is 00:20:58 So there was a company backing his endeavors. Well, thanks to the brilliant reporting of unique entertainment on YouTube, we now find that that is no longer the, case. He is not getting renewed on podcast. When Podcast One announced in January of this year, their re-signings,
Starting point is 00:21:21 Shab wasn't part of that. Adam Carolla was not Shob. This explains why Shab just recently completely quit the Golden Hour podcast and why he's been talking about quitting the fighter and a kid. He is going to quit
Starting point is 00:21:39 both. See, what had... All right. Now, this is speculation, but nobody knows Brendan Schott better than Unique, who's still being sued by him, by the way. I'm still suing this guy. But he quit the Golden Hour. So the Golden Hour is down
Starting point is 00:21:55 to just Christalia and Eric Griffin. Oh. The fact that they're still doing that show. Together at last. It started as the King and the Sting. No one from the original show is even odd anymore. It's like going to see Forreter in concert. Fuck is this? Am I wrong in thinking that it would still do good enough numbers that he should be a part of it and associated with it?
Starting point is 00:22:15 Or does it not do as well as his fighting stuff? Because I thought those were two of the bigger things he did. You know, let's take a look at that. Let's look at what the Golden Hour is doing as far as YouTube numbers are concerned. Because you'll see one of the things that they're doing here now is every episode title has Golden Hour episode number with Crystal. and Eric Griffin with Chris Lee and Eric Griffin. They're making it very clear.
Starting point is 00:22:43 These are the two people he will see on the show. There will not be Brendan Schaub. I wonder if they're thinking this is addition by subtraction. Oh, wow. Anyway, most recent episode, 39,000 views. One before that, 48,000, 51,000,
Starting point is 00:22:59 58,000, 55,000. I mean, this is a show that used to do hundreds of thousands of views. And now it's doing probably less than well, maybe more than what Whitney Coffings actually gets. But it's probably in that ballpark. Remember they just did that live show in Austin? And they're like, oh, this is great.
Starting point is 00:23:18 We got to do this some more. This is going to be fantastic. They couldn't even get it together to have dinner before or after that. That's right. One of them was napping, right? Yes. Deweal was just passed out. That's hilarious.
Starting point is 00:23:31 One was with Rogan. It was exactly how you would have pictured it before they even left for Austin. What happened here is Shab. Sign that deal. Remember, CEO hated that deal. This is a big part of the reason why Theo Vaughn left. Yeah, that was that deal they did with cast media. That guy who didn't pay anyone gave everyone these guarantees for, you know, big advertising dollars.
Starting point is 00:23:55 It was just pretty much a Ponzi scheme. You know, just not paying anyone for months and months until finding people were like, hey, man, you owe me. I think it was $1.6 million yield Brendan Schaub. And podcast won't partnered with this company. It's really been a disaster. for them. Jim Cornett sued that Colin Thompson guy but shop and others like Carolla carried forward with Podcast 1. All right. Yeah. So that was the explanation of that. So what's happening now with Brendan's show is he's doing so many new things. The scheduling, I think we talked about this last week,
Starting point is 00:24:32 the scheduling is getting out of control. It's very hard to follow when you're going to get to watch him live or when it's pre-taped. Now, typically, we're going to do the Big Brown breakdown live on Mondays and Thursdays, and we do the live chat on Tuesdays and Fridays. And usually Tuesday, Fridays, live chat's always at 11 a.m. Central time.
Starting point is 00:24:55 Monday's Big Brown will typically be at 9 a.m. Central time, so we do it super early for you guys. But Brian Callan is missing a second week in a row, fun kid, so that frees me up to come in a little later. That comes in a little later. So that's what we're doing.
Starting point is 00:25:12 It's always good when you're scheduling your program. Whatever's convenient for you. Yeah. Yeah, I usually do 9 a.m. because we have to do fighter and the kid later, but, you know, Brian's on around. I'm sleeping in. Yeah, I'm sleeping. We'll just start at 11.
Starting point is 00:25:24 All right, cool. I wonder if Howard Stern ever did that. Quick announcement, tomorrow, the show starts at noon. He would often end the show by saying, well, back to bed. Right. So that's a lot, right? Did you follow any of that? running any notes down what's going on just central time is that a common i know it's it
Starting point is 00:25:43 not everyone lives in austin idiot okay uh so he's doing all these live shows that he does zero work for we'll get into that in a little bit but it's basically just amas ask me anything and the way that he's doing that is you have to pay him for the privilege of asking him anything so he's figured out the show for me. He's like, well, the homeless cats, the guys who are always goofed on me, they don't want to give me money. So we'll just make sure that everyone here likes me. And the only thing he's really talking about is UFC. So it's whatever fan base he's built up with fighter and the kid or anything else that he's done, Golden Hour and stuff like that, like people who are into comedy or whatever, you can forget about that. There'll be absolutely
Starting point is 00:26:32 none of that going on. Questions are coming in for him. They know. They know he's got some haters. So what are they going to do about that? Mike Street says, do you guys screen out the haters? Or are they just on here because they have to pay? He goes, I can't stand that nigger bullshit. Yeah, Jim monitors it, but what are he going to do?
Starting point is 00:26:50 You know? Because they have to pay to get on here. It's a weird thing. You know what else is a weird thing? We're wearing short shorts. And having it so that we can see your crotch in the shot. Yeah. Could you imagine a news anchor like this?
Starting point is 00:27:06 Why not like, lace up? His head is, his face is in shadows. And his crotch is well lit and centered. You're right. Your eye is drawn to it. Now that's production. It's like the eclipse. Like you're not supposed to look, but you can't help it.
Starting point is 00:27:25 All right. So this is, uh, Brendan explaining how totally phoned in. This show really is. Man. God, production, would it help to have topics that you want to discuss once the repeat questions start rolling in? How so, brother, help us out. Nick, even Nick Davis said to you. Like, we wanted to start the show and have, like, you know, some topics that you actually really want the guys to discuss on the chat.
Starting point is 00:27:47 We could just cover those as well. I, this chat's what they want. Yeah, I mean. It's not up to me. I know. Whatever they want. So the guy goes, no, you can't just sit here and take questions for 90 minutes, five days a week. That's the laziest thing ever.
Starting point is 00:28:01 A lazy, lazy man. Right. So will you show up with things to talk about if none of the questions are interesting or there's really no questions coming in? And Freddie goes, no. You guys tell me what to talk about. Otherwise, I won't be any talking. And he's got that inflection in his voice like his hands are tied. Right.
Starting point is 00:28:22 Yeah. Yeah. What do you want to do? Yeah. This is the show format, guys. It came down from corporate. And why does his set look like a really cheap team? teenager's bedroom, but Chin looks like he's in a really modern, like the CEO of a very expensive
Starting point is 00:28:38 company. I feel like they're sitting in the wrong place. You're right. So I think Brendan's trying to distract us with his crotch and sides, spinning, graffiti. And it keeps to adding, more and more shit on the side tables and everything. It's getting more and more chaotic. More beverages. Yeah, he keeps dragging shit in on his foot and just like sticking it on.
Starting point is 00:29:01 of the set. A guy that you might know if you're a fan of WTP is principled uncertainty. He has been around for a while in the chat. He's the one who discovered Helga and Lisa. And he's the first super chatter on Brendan Shob's talk show. How's this work? So I think they're just donating money to answer your question. Principal uncertainty says this is like a direct question.
Starting point is 00:29:30 Oh, this is the super chat. I don't know how super chat works. but what's up dog I have an argument with my mate blind mic do you prefer hats or socks both I mean if I had to pick one hats I love hats my mom gets mad
Starting point is 00:29:44 so my mom watches everything I do set for these live chats and she always wants me to do my hair but I love hats my mom gets mad that I wear hats all the time uh why did you answer that question those are the rules
Starting point is 00:29:59 those hands are tied me and my mate's blind mic I don't know if you like answers socks and he fucking answers it like yeah I'll help you guys out with this one don't worry yeah we got an answer for it in either or right right it's so stupid he does know he's getting trolled with that question
Starting point is 00:30:15 so then the question comes in well are there moderators who can put people in time out or ban them while the chat's going which one um look at how low effort this is and yeah I don't
Starting point is 00:30:34 and this is the noisiest place. So he just has this storage warehouse place where he puts his vehicles in there and then he built some sets and the AC units cranking. It's all you can hear. Chin, do you have to vacuum now? Oh, you can have moderators on this thing? Yeah. We if we assign like certain people and maybe even like fans that we trust to like pay attention
Starting point is 00:31:01 of all the stuff before. Yeah. You know, to your point, Adam, there's a cyber truck parked behind. think that's a cyber truck, right? Yeah. Parts behind chin. And so, I mean, it's a big, empty warehouse with concrete floors, but other than that, it actually is presentable, you know?
Starting point is 00:31:22 It's kind of a unique setting. He looks like a supervillain or an artist or perhaps he wants to sell me a cyber truck. This guy looks like he's like squished in between this subway seat that he doesn't belong in. That's like a shitty car going on the Bronx. Yeah, have Gemma do it. Ask her if she's down. Yeah, Gamma, if you're down.
Starting point is 00:31:40 And after show, but later, too. He's on, he's right there. Oh, yeah, so just hit me up. Can't you just make a mods on here now, turn? I mean, you don't want me to do a little bit of check on him? No, I know after show and I can get me. All right. Good for both of them.
Starting point is 00:31:59 So in real time, we're watching this meeting with the producer. Should we have moderators on you or watching the chat and kicking people out if they're assholes? What a show. What a show. And Chin's like, yeah, yeah. I mean, we should talk about it afterwards and figure out. No, no, make that person one and make that person one. All right now you want me to do that?
Starting point is 00:32:17 Yeah. What can go wrong? Like hiring a stutterer. Let's just give them control over who's allowed to give us money. What could possibly go wrong with that? So getting back to Unique. As I mentioned, Unique should make fun of Brennan's shop for a while. Brendan sued Unique
Starting point is 00:32:38 and I think for copyright law I believe is that lawsuit and the judge ruled that it was fair use it was transformative enough and Brendan rather than put his tail between his legs and walked back home
Starting point is 00:32:54 decided to appeal that so I believe this is dragging on and on and of course Unique gets a chance to super chat Brendan now so he's in there trying to chat with him and I apologize he is a little bit of a mush mouth, but aren't we all?
Starting point is 00:33:10 Let's see what he has to say. Yes, they've made the ability to send super chat. So I had to send a couple. I got banned. This is the last one that got me banned where I put, where's the 300 pages of evidence against Bobby. So that's the guy who's suing Brendan because he had 10% ownership in that company.
Starting point is 00:33:33 And Brendan was supposed to put out Instagram posts every day and do all this promotion. and he just fucked off and did nothing. So the guy's suing him and, you know, Brennan's just like, oh, I have all the documentation that proves that it was actually his breach, blah. So anyway, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:33:46 the whole extent of it, but that's what Unique is fucking with him about. So I'm sure, Brendan doesn't want to discuss on his show. They had already banned me by that point. You had been placed in time out by the owner of this video or a moderator. And then...
Starting point is 00:34:01 So now we see why they needed moderators immediately. Yes, unique. So they're talking about, lawsuits and shit. And so you can see that right there, that Gemma girl, who you know, Brendan was calling out to Chin, yeah, give Gemma girl the thing.
Starting point is 00:34:16 And there's her tagging unique and saying, I need mod status to ban this dorky dweeb. You got this over here. Oh, wait. This was that person he
Starting point is 00:34:32 wanted to make a moderator. Not a real person. Probably his mom, by the way. I would guarantee you that's his mom. The one who's disappointed he's wearing a hat right now? Yes. I would have done your hair. I need mod status to ban this dorky-dweeb unique. And then, oh, here's another question.
Starting point is 00:34:59 Oh, wait. Let's start when the beginning. I thought, why do you keep appealing to long? lawsuit when you lost. And then this person puts, I don't know, get a life brother. Shab just stared at the chat like an idiot, by the way. Look at this
Starting point is 00:35:18 Redax face. I think Shab was very confused why there's bright colors all of a sudden. Why does you gee want me to read that one so badly? Is he in one of those special chairs you can shit in? Yes. The one of
Starting point is 00:35:32 Homer invented? Look at them. Yeah. Let's just say I'm sitting the right chair. Oh, and somebody pointed it out. That's Chin's Cybertruck behind him. Remember, he bought one? He bought a cyber truck?
Starting point is 00:35:44 Yes, he did. Like, right as they were announcing scaling back and he was like, I just bought this cyber truck. So he parks it right behind them to remind him what he's working for. He's also living in itself. That's true. I'm going to take a nap. That's cool.
Starting point is 00:35:58 Well, he doesn't have far to go for work. Right. It's horrifying. And then the other question I asked, If I answer my question, dance for my money, storage unit boy. Why does your house have less land when you said it would have more? He's reading these, by the way, and they're highlighted in the thing, and he has to ignore them. And this comes into the ultimate problem, because as you've seen in shit there, it's already stale and boring,
Starting point is 00:36:31 because he's not going to answer any of the interesting questions. So all of these shows are just, yeah, I mean, that guy's better than that guy at doing arm takedowns. Yeah, like that guy, great guy, never met him. Yeah, I'm such a bitch. So I think unique spot on with this analysis, Brendan Chom, earlier this year, started up a Patreon. And he said, all right, you join our Patreon. I'm going to do these AMA episodes, and we'll get into it.
Starting point is 00:36:59 And he has. He's answered questions that were pretty pointed at Brian Cannon's performance, how the point in the kid is going, why the show's gone to shit, and Brendan will answer seriously. So he's like, sweet, I can monetize the hate. You know, this is what Aaron Imble's always talking about doing, monetize the hate. So he's going, wait a second, can we just make people pay me to ask me questions? Like, I don't know, four days a week? This seems pretty cool. So now that's what he's doing.
Starting point is 00:37:28 and unfortunately, if he's not going to answer questions that hurt his feelings, then people are going to tune out. You think? I think it's going to get real boring real quick. I have a feeling that unique is correct. Just talking about UFC fighters and who you think is going to win on Saturday night. Yeah. And we already covered hats and socks.
Starting point is 00:37:52 What else is there to talk about? Well, it's going to be up to Thick Boy Records to pull its financial weight here. big boy for life. So I think that the fighting and the kid probably will go away. Now the podcast one isn't backing it anymore
Starting point is 00:38:05 and nobody seems to give a shit Brian Kowel's not even showing up. So he doesn't give a shit. No one cares. And it looks like this is what Brennan's job's gonna do now is just the lowest effort thing you could possibly do.
Starting point is 00:38:18 Which is not surprising. We got to talk about my buddy Jerry Banfield. I love to eat peanut butter. I love to eat honey and I also love to eat beans. Beans. I look great.
Starting point is 00:38:37 I feel great. Beans. Jerry Banfield is continuing to churn out the content. A lot of crypto stuff lately. He's really interested in the Get Rich Quick model of being successful in life. And I think he thinks he can grift off other idiots like that. this one is called I became a self-made millionaire twice and lost it time for round three sounds like a Chad Zumach email yeah so let's see I've been losing money for 23 years
Starting point is 00:39:13 and now I need you to give me money that I could lose so this is Jerry Banfield I had years where I was a millionaire and 10 years ago and now my current net worth is around minus 200,000 Oh, let me take notes of that. I want to get advice from this guy. How do I live a life like that? That sounds awesome. This is what I've learned from going from a negative net worth to a millionaire and then all the way back down again. I hope I can share my lessons here with you so that you can learn from my mistakes.
Starting point is 00:39:49 I hope so too. I hope they're not too specific. I hope it's like specific things that only this idiot would do because that wouldn't be helpful for me. Yeah, I couldn't do anything with that information. Right. So let's see what he tells us. I'll give you a preview of some of the lessons. First, I got to be a millionaire because I was obsessed with making money rapidly rather than making it sustainable. So if you want to maintain wealth, you actually want to make money a bit slower.
Starting point is 00:40:16 Hold on a second. That makes zero sense. Getting money now is better than getting money later. That's always the case. You know, it's why there's interest on things. So that's stupid. They'd be like, guys, you're going to want to make millions of dollars. But look, giggga, give it a couple decades. Also, this thing of him reading.
Starting point is 00:40:37 I know, isn't now it's, why wouldn't he already know this? He should know this. Yeah, it's his life. Who's going to click on from millionaire to minus 200K? You click on that in reverse. That's the one you want to see. I clicked out of the video. To make fun of it.
Starting point is 00:40:51 But for what he's talking about, no one wants to learn how to make that happen. No one's clicking on that going, oh, yeah, that's the advice I need. Yeah, that's true. way around it has 382 views so yeah it's it's not uh it's not doing great i want to hear how sorry this guy is yeah well you actually want to make money a bit slower i'm a helpless loser and you could be too all right sign up for my program oh this will turn things around for me made money i've turned myself into a millionaire within a couple of years and uh the way i i did that was I got sober and cleaned up the rest of my life.
Starting point is 00:41:27 So if you want to be a millionaire, you need to clean up all this stuff that's stopping you from that, which often... Well, if I gave all this money, but I can't use it for drugs? No, you need a million dollar a year habit. Okay, okay. Follow me? I'm listening.
Starting point is 00:41:42 All right. And it's poisoning yourself with alcohol, drugs, distracting with toxic relationships. Number three, I became a millionaire in collaboration with my wife. And then the millionaire and the finance. How do I meet her? What she on these days? Let's do some networking.
Starting point is 00:42:02 Hey, you want to be a billionaire, baby? National destruction also happened related to the relationship with my wife. I'll talk more about all these things. And a minute I'm giving you a preview of the key lessons to make sure you get this up front. With me being a millionaire as well. Yeah. Adam just made a face. This is not how people talk.
Starting point is 00:42:21 He's just the chat GPT script. that he's getting is not natural. No, this whole presentation, he's like, let me just tell you the punchlines, and then we'll get to the jokes. It's just ruining everything. There's no reason to hear the rest of it. Oh, there is, Adam.
Starting point is 00:42:37 Oh, gosh. Oh, there is. My, I was not diversified at all. It was very easy for me to lose huge amounts of my wealth in very specific areas. What I would recommend going forward, and what I'm doing going forward is making sure I'm much more diversified that I can't get wiped out by a crypto going down or by a platform banning my courses or by losing an algorithm somewhere.
Starting point is 00:43:03 Or my bitch-ass wife. Or my bitch-ass wife leaving me. Is this crazy? The guy claims he's become a millionaire twice. I doubt it. I don't think he knows what being a millionaire is. But he claims he did it twice. And now he's going for a third time.
Starting point is 00:43:20 And he goes, one thing I realized is that I should. I shouldn't have all my wealth tied into an algorithm I have no control over. It took you twice to figure that out. Yeah. Okay. Practice makes perfect. Okay. I mean, this isn't bad advice.
Starting point is 00:43:35 It's pretty obvious stuff. It's not untrue. You ideally don't want to have all your wealth tied up in something that could plummet. Now, a house is one of the most stable forms of wealth. Even more than crypto? Come on. Yeah. Ideally, you want to have a variety of assets. and you don't want your assets locked up so you can't sell them, at least if that's what's
Starting point is 00:43:58 making you a millionaire. Finally, one of the last things I'll share is that I started spending money like crazy. You know, wouldn't his assets being locked up so he couldn't sell them? I've been a good thing for him? For him. Right? You know what I mean? Because he'd still have something rather than just a credit card loan for $60,000 what he's
Starting point is 00:44:20 living off of right now. He needed to learn not to spend more than he had the hardware. and he's going to impart that wisdom onto us. Yeah, this is crazy right here. Because the first time I met Jerry Banfield, quote unquote, was when he was explaining to me that I lost money over the last three or four years because I was spending more money on advertising that I was making on the videos the advertising was driving to. Huh.
Starting point is 00:44:42 And it took him 36 months to figure this out, 48 months to figure out that, yeah, losing money every single month is not going to make you a millionaire. Things I'll share is that I started spending. spending money like crazy when I got to be a millionaire. I ramped my expenses up and I hoped all my friends up. There were friends I paid $100,000 plus dollars where they're getting like $100 an hour. These were guys that hadn't graduated from college that were Xbox friends. Oh, it got sad.
Starting point is 00:45:11 I was going to say, did he play at the NBA? What's he talking about here? He just started giving money out money to all of his buddies. But no, it's worse than that. Not even people that he knows in real life. guys he was playing Xbox with. He was just being the big shot, big millionaire Jare,
Starting point is 00:45:29 giving them money. Can't rent for Heather on this one. No. What was the reason? Hey, friends. Do you want money? He just wanted to feel like a big shot. But we don't need this course.
Starting point is 00:45:44 We need to play Xbox with this guy. Yeah. Yeah. Good call. And I'm grateful for my generosity to them At the same time, I got... Wait, in church, you be teaching right that? I'm grateful for my generosity to them.
Starting point is 00:46:01 You should be. Because they never said thank you. To have this God complex like I can't lose. Because when you make yourself and blow your net worth up over a million dollars in a couple of years, you can start to think, I'm just that smart and everything I do works. Going forward now, I'm a bit more pregnant. and not of the impression that everything I do is just going to turn to gold. And that's been a valuable lesson.
Starting point is 00:46:28 So let's dive into all this a bit deeper because what you'll see is how all this is linked. Now, some of you are thinking, well, why should I listen to you? You're minus 200K right now. And I made myself a millionaire self-made within just a couple of years fully online. And the valuable lessons I've got from draining that are extremely. extremely helpful because it was actually much easier to learn to just blow up and be a self-made millionaire rapidly than to actually sustain that wealth over time. No shit.
Starting point is 00:47:05 Yeah. I'm not afraid to leverage debt either. I still have a fantastic lifestyle, my own house and massages every week. Always with the massages. It's the most important thing to him. He's definitely getting jerked off a nation. massage partners, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:23 Well, ever since... No, no, no, no. He'd be much less into this and much calmer. It's a good point. Have money for everything I want, even though I'm leveraged right now. And what's awesome to me is when I've seen what I've done before. He doesn't understand debt.
Starting point is 00:47:39 He literally's not getting the concept here. He's like, and guys, I know I owe $200,000, but I got tons of cash. I can access money from the bank. I can buy something ridiculous that I don't need. It's like, dude. I could be a millionaire again within a year or two from now. So I know I've already done it before.
Starting point is 00:47:57 It's easier to do it again. And the real teaching, if you can teach from a position of what many would think as being behind, and then you can document how you got there, I think that's what's really interesting about my stories. To watch a year or two from now, I'm telling you. Yeah, after a NASCAR race, they always run over to the guy who took last place and interview him.
Starting point is 00:48:17 How'd you do it? How'd you do it? How do we learn from you? Can we pay you? You started in third. You ended up in last. Please, explain this. How I became a millionaire again, or maybe it'll take a bit longer this time.
Starting point is 00:48:31 So I first, I set up my foundations. And a lot of people are like, how can I make myself a millionaire as fast as possible? Well, I did it by finding what was needed and how I could provide that. I ran into a platform called Udeme in 2014. And I was on YouTube in 2011. I've been in technology. I'm continually ahead of wherever things are going. I am continually an early adopter in technology.
Starting point is 00:49:00 And if you want to make yourself on... I can tell me that sweet AI graphic behind you on the green screen. Millionaire, being an early adopter in technology is one of the best places to do it. Because often when there's new technology, there's huge opportunities and it's easy for anyone to just jump in there and deliver huge amounts of value. Udeme. I was one of the first instructors on Udeme. I mean, there were people before me, but I was one of the first who actually went all in
Starting point is 00:49:28 and did serious marketing and then blew myself up to hundreds of thousand students. I built my Udeme up so big because I gave away hundreds of thousands of free coupons to my courses. And then I had this giant email list. I'd make thousands of dollars in a few hours every time I release new courses and I combine that with grinding courses out
Starting point is 00:49:50 crazy. I made like 60 Udeme courses in a couple of years just by filming two videos a day. So I obsessed what I did to become a millionaire is I obsessed about rapidly. I went all in on just focusing on Udeme and selling courses. You made a shit product that you tricked people into buying and now you're like, guys, this is not the way to do it. Yeah, no shit. Yeah, that doesn't seem sustainable actually. now that you mentioned it. He doesn't seem to appreciate the value of a dollar. No.
Starting point is 00:50:25 And I'm doing the same thing on YouTube now. What I noticed as I drained my... He is doing the same thing on YouTube now. I'm sure he has on as much garbage content as possible. Letting GPT write the script for me, just reading it. Obviously, it didn't work for me on you to me because I lost all my money, but this time it's going to work. My net worth, though, is my attention constantly got fractured. So there are two big things that drained my millionaire status.
Starting point is 00:50:52 Actually, three. One, I got banned from Udeme. And I got banned from Udeme, because the same things I did to rapidly blow up on Udeme and to go from a relatively unknown person online to a top 10 Udeme instructor, a YouTuber that had more subscribers than Mr. Beast back in 2015 and 2016. I blew myself up by being very loud and running a bunch of paid ads and being in everyone's face. And you only have to piss a few people off of the trust and safety team, not even violating any policies. And I ended up getting banned.
Starting point is 00:51:27 Are we having a debate with them right now about whether violated policies? And somehow they took all my money. I didn't even touch him. I didn't even touch him. Right. Even though I maintain and they offered no proof that I violated any policies, they just didn't like me. And my entire net worth in 2016 was tied up primarily in eutemy. You know, it's almost like, I don't know what the story is here because he was spending all this money advertising in UDMI.
Starting point is 00:51:53 You'd think that they'd like a guy like that. It's almost like they were cheapening, he was cheapening their product to the point where they said, we don't need guys who are making garbage instructional videos on here because then people are going to stop using Udeme and are going to tell their friends that it sucks. It's also crazy that he said, you know, they didn't like me in this tone that assumes we would just be shocked and not understand where. Like, can you believe that? They didn't like you. Yeah. They treated me like I was a lunatic.
Starting point is 00:52:24 Well, when that drained, my utami was making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. I made 600,000 on utamine in just two years. So my utami, if I would have sold it, would have been worth at least one, if not two or three million dollars. No, that's not how that works. If you're the one churning out all of the content, what are you selling? Do you want my login? Sure. $2.5 million. Oh, no, I don't. I don't need it. Why would I need that?
Starting point is 00:52:52 And I created all that from scratch in two years. But that annihilated my net worth. Not to be taken down easily, though. Within the next two years, I made myself a millionaire again. All right, time out, time out. He's already explained that he was spending all this money for money on YouTube and Udeme. Then he goes, I was making, I made $600,000 in two years. Now, I don't know what the expenses are. That's his revenue. And then he goes, fast forward. I mean myself a millionaire again, $600,000 is not a million dollars.
Starting point is 00:53:25 It's less than a million dollars. By some amount of money I can't figure out. I have to ask Chad GPT about that. In cryptocurrency, I was one of the first crypto YouTubers in the world. Again, I was an early technology adopter. I blew up on crypto YouTube because I was one of the first people in the world doing videos consistently about crypto and altcoins. Again, I made a similar mistake to you to me, though.
Starting point is 00:53:50 I went all in on one coin, and most of my valuation of being a millionaire again in 2018 was tied up with one single crypto coin, at which point I realized the team, I knew so much about it, I realized the team was about to rug pull the token and it was going to crash. I started selling it, and I couldn't sell most of it, though, in time to avoid the crash. Okay. So according to Jerry, both of these schemes that he had to become a millionaire were taking advantage of other people. So he's buying this cryptocurrency that's worth nothing. And he claimed that he's a millionaire because if you look at the value of it, then that equals a million dollars. Even though he doesn't have any access to the money, he can't even sell it if he wants to. No one's buying it. I don't think that's the definition of a millionaire. No, and his talent is getting in early to a startup before people have figured out the rules and taking advantage of that and then running as fast as he can.
Starting point is 00:54:52 And his only lesson is that he didn't get out fast enough from his last time. I should have sold that shit way quicker, right? And I lost hundreds of thousands of dollars of my net worth, like at least 500,000 in net worth from that coin crashing. And I had sacrificed my YouTube channel and my Facebook page. with millions of followers. I had made, I had made them go all in on this coin. And from there, I had drained the net worth of not just the coin itself, but I had pushed so hard to make fast money and become a millionaire again that I had, I'd went all in across all my social media. And when this coin obliterated in value, my credibility and my YouTube, my Facebook, all got
Starting point is 00:55:36 obliterated with it. People started to think I was stupid. Well, It's worse than that. You know, Adam likes to point out the evolution of a villain. And what we're seeing right here with this idiot, Jerry Bantfield, I was just like, I was convincing everyone to dump all of their money into this stupid alt-coin that has no value whatsoever. And then, guess what? They all lost all the money, even though I was telling them to do this over and over and over again, convincing them to do so.
Starting point is 00:56:05 And it sucks because then I lost my money. Yeah. Yeah. He's like the Wizard of Oz explaining to you why he's just a fraud in how he's scanning everyone and surprised you don't want to invest with him now. Right about the same time, though, I easily would have found another opportunity, but something happened in my marriage. My now ex-wife said that she didn't want to have any more kids. And up until that time, well, actually, what I said is, I don't want to have sex with you. I have for a guy.
Starting point is 00:56:34 She had also put all of her money into that coin and was very pissed. Yeah, right. Well, she probably was pissed about that. That's all we had, Karen. Not sexy. His wife said that she didn't want to have any more kids. And up until that time, I had been the leader in the relationship. I had been the man.
Starting point is 00:56:54 I had been the provider. And we had been very happy and cooperating very successfully. I made hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. There's a lot of passive aggressive shit going on here. First, it was the people. at you to me, the trust and safety team. Now it's the ex-wife. Things were going fucking great,
Starting point is 00:57:09 and then you decided you were going to take over the relationship and start making the rules. And she took my Xbox. I gave her thousands of dollars a month to do whatever she wanted with, plus paid all the bills. And she had... It's like that,
Starting point is 00:57:28 here go shopping. It's like that Simpson's episode, I know I do this is a lot, where they have a startup company and the stock is just a roll of toilet paper. How much stock do you want? Okay. Time to be a stay-at-home mom and hang out with her family, go do yoga or whatever she wanted to do, hang out with their friends.
Starting point is 00:57:49 And I provided everything, plus I helped out around the house. And then suddenly when she said she didn't want to have any more kids, I got this and she didn't ask me about it. She didn't have a discussion. She was not gentle. She was very abrasive. And it destroyed like this, a huge crack in the foundation of our relationship. Focus, Jerry. How do I become a millionaire?
Starting point is 00:58:11 I don't want to hear about your bitch-ex wife, be an asshole. She did want kids. Yeah, I've been throwing money at her. Ignoring her for years and somehow we haven't grown closer. Now, my wife at the time and the inspiration and our teamwork was a huge part of me feeling successful inside from my relationship and that funnel into my business. Well, this huge crack in my marriage.
Starting point is 00:58:36 He's blaming her. for being unsuccessful. What an asshole. Another villainous thing to do right here. Yeah, well, you hurt my feelings and I'm not performing well at work. That's why I got fired. Happened at the same time my coin went down towards zero. And from there, I absolutely destroyed the family's finances.
Starting point is 00:58:58 And then my net worth has been in the tank ever since then. And yet he's pushing this ICP. He's still pushing cryptocurrency. He's got a whole two channels devoted to crypto. This is a guy who lost everything because he had all of his money tied into one stupid alt coin. Yeah. But it also worked. But guys, this a hawk to a coin, I'm telling you, this is the investment of a century.
Starting point is 00:59:24 I'm listening. Of being in that relationship, the fractured marriage was then holding me back from again becoming the provider. My ex at the time, my wife at the time, my ex now. decided she couldn't trust me to be a provider anymore, even though she had taken a critical action to sabotage my ability to provide. I remember... This is wild. What gave it away?
Starting point is 00:59:47 This has spun out of control. She's like, all right, you're not in charge of finance anymore, Jerry. You've lost all of our money twice now. We have kids. You want a third fucking kid? Are you crazy? And he's like, you know, if you're not going to have confidence in me, it's really going to mess me up.
Starting point is 01:00:01 How much is this atch a sketch worth? This is crazy. It's almost like he's lost the plot. I had been obsessed with my business, but I started to hate my business after that, and the marriage and the business were so intertwined. What you can see is that often we'll try and compensate in one area like money, but another area that's weak and drag down our money. This is why it can be tough to really turn your life from,
Starting point is 01:00:31 because often one area you're really weak in suffering in will drag down your efforts in another. now that I'm single even though I've borrowed a bunch of money like I talked about I borrowed now I borrowed over $60,000 this year so I can focus totally on YouTube pay all my bills maintain my million
Starting point is 01:00:49 Hold on a second Pay all my bills I'm borrowing money to pay my bills He's so stupid But hold on a second He started this by saying You gotta diversify guys You can't throw all your eyes into one basket
Starting point is 01:01:01 Now he's like I borrowed over $60,000 to devote all my time to YouTube What a fucking moron. No one ever gets demonetized from YouTube. You'll be fine. I thought his gift was finding new startups, not jumping on to older platforms and doing the same schick.
Starting point is 01:01:17 But that didn't work, Adam. He's learning from that. He's helping his friend Chad with a GoFundMe. Yeah, he's giving all of his money to GoFundMe's. Lifestyle. And I am on my way. I can feel it. Again, it feels similar to you to me.
Starting point is 01:01:33 And to crypto, I'm on my way to becoming a millionaire. again on YouTube. I've got a website at jerry banfield.com that has a school community that you can join. If you want to build a life you don't need to escape from, then, and that's across technology. That's across, you know, relationships and health. If you want to build a life you don't need to escape from, I've got a community. People are joining. I just started it in the last week. That community plus my, I'm creating, I'm uploading 12 YouTube videos a day now, six shorts and six long spread across six different channels. He has learned nothing.
Starting point is 01:02:10 No. This is the worst. This is the worst idea you got, Jerry. And from everything I'm seeing, I'm going to absolutely blow up on YouTube. I've already got millions and millions of impressions, hundreds of thousands of views. What I learned is that...
Starting point is 01:02:26 Millions and millions of impressions. So he's looking at when his thumbnail shows up for someone. They don't click it. They don't give a shit. Because he said impressions were different than views. But that's, yeah, nothing. It's literally nothing. Well, if you made a good impression, then it's going to help. Sure. If you knew how to make a thumbnail and good video content, maybe that would help. I want to be a millionaire. I need to focus on the most important area.
Starting point is 01:02:50 And one thing I messed up across all my years is I kept focusing on things like Udeme, where Udeme should not have been the primary focus. YouTube should have been the primary focus. Same thing in crypto. He's unbelievable, isn't he? Yeah. Don't focus on what platform unless that platform's YouTube. That's the one you focus off your attention. It's not you to me. It's YouTube. I guarantee his ex-wife is not watching this.
Starting point is 01:03:15 But if she was, imagine. Here we go. I've heard the speech before. Those were things if I had taken it slower and just built my U-Demite gently made some sales. I wouldn't have become a millionaire as fast. But I also would have been more like my friends that I coached them. And they've sat there and made 10-20, thousand dollars a month for a decade while i was a big man making 50 100 000 a month but then it didn't
Starting point is 01:03:42 last so i'm building my next millionaire up to last the test of time that means it's going to take a little bit longer but it'll also be more sustainable i'm also being very intentional with my dating now that i've got divorced from my ex i'm in a position to build myself up as a millionaire again without our relationship dynamics sabotaging my ability to earn money and be a provider and you go to your financial advisor like all right jerry uh what have you been working on to help your financial situation well i got rid of that bitch ex-wife abide oh perfect all right good she was dragging you down anyway she's not the reason you gave a hundred thousand dollars to a kid on xbox right to love my business and i'm being very clear and ignoring dating unless i happen to
Starting point is 01:04:28 come across to a woman that wants me to be a provider who loves and is proud of what i do on YouTube. He goes, I'm ignoring dating. He spent over $10,000 on dating this year. We've covered the whole video about it. I think he's saying he's out of cash. No more dating for me. Unless you want to Netflix and chill. It's also very cult-like. It's like unless you want someone who can provide for you and who you can believe in wholly and completely. Right. You have to believe in my business. Get on board. And wants to live a traditional family lifestyle and raise more kids with me. Outside of that, I will not be paying attention to dating anymore because I've noticed that I've done awesome on my first three months on YouTube coming back after I deleted all my
Starting point is 01:05:14 YouTube last year because I got so down on it, but my ex also hated what I did for work as well. Oh, he rage quit. Fine. I was fucking delete my YouTube. That's like, I'm still going to leave you, Jerry. You don't have to delete your social media. No, look it. I'm deleting it all right now. you're like, ugh, fine. You know, there's like that big grand gesture. Oh, yeah. Yep. What a asshole.
Starting point is 01:05:38 And that's the holistic approach to life that I am seeing is so important and what I embody. So if you enjoyed this, if you actually watched all of this, you will love having me as a mentor and being a part of my journey from what some would say is the ground up. You'll get a 30 minute call with me. Someone would say it's the ground up. Someone says ground zero. I don't know. Do you know that movie, Parenthood with Steve Martin?
Starting point is 01:06:05 Yeah. You know how there's the brother who always has these hairbrain schemes and he keeps going to his dad to borrow money? And the end of the movie is, spoiler, when he comes to his dad and he's like, I know, I told you I'm done with hairbrain schemes.
Starting point is 01:06:18 But instead of you team, it's you too. And the father's like, okay, we're going to give you the money. And he lets his son die. He doesn't give him the money. So they're going to come get him because there's no fixing this. There's no fixing this.
Starting point is 01:06:30 He does not learn lessons. And he thinks he does, which is great. He thinks he has. He's just repeating himself. It's so crazy. So he's up to 10 members. I believe seven or eight of them are freebies. They're handed out to other internet creators.
Starting point is 01:06:47 But that's exciting. The Jerry Banfield family, remember, if you get in now, first 25 founding members get a free 30-minute one-on-one call, which is a $96 value. And I was checking to see if he made any more videos, talking about new members coming in. Remember he made the, when he got his first paid membership.
Starting point is 01:07:05 Oh, he went apeship. He was so excited. He's like, this is it. I'm a millionaire, baby. There haven't been any since then, so I don't know if he's had any more members or not, but we are rooting for the great Jerry Banfield. This spring,
Starting point is 01:07:21 denim gets a softer, lighter update. Introducing Old Navy's drapey denim wide leg, a new fit that moves with you. It's everything you want denim to feel like for summer. easy, breathable, and effortlessly cool. With a fit that creates natural movement and a wide leg that feels modern, not overwhelming. Plus, that signature, wait, for this price, moment. Old Navy's drapey denim wide leg.
Starting point is 01:07:46 You know, John's still on cameo, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but bloody ass. You know, John's still on cameo, and he's, I think people have been going to cameo since we can't find new John content anywhere else. And he's been turning down a lot of the requests. He raised his rate to 175, which seems excessive when you see the content he churns out. A little bit. And he turns down people who, you know,
Starting point is 01:08:21 there's some people who go on there that you probably heard their name a few times on Uncle Rico show or something. And so John goes, uh-uh, not providing content to the shit way or over here. So then people change their emails and their name. They get the requests. They get the carrier to go through. So here's a recent cameo that John recorded for a fan of this program.
Starting point is 01:08:42 Hey, Frank. It's me again. The world famous stuttering John Melendez. He looks like a testicle. Wow. Yeah, and I know Adam and I are both huge fans of his fake. Like, hello, everybody. That's so nuts.
Starting point is 01:09:08 This is a man who's a child and left to his own devices just lets his life go to shit. This guy looks terrible. He looks like a garbage pill kid. He does. He fucking does. The amount that he's aged in the last three years, two years alone is crazy. Let's see that again. Hey, Frank.
Starting point is 01:09:36 It's me again. the world famous Stuttering John Melendez. So I see you want some advice for your stepson. Well, I don't have any step-sons. All right. If you guys caught our segment on Suttering John last time, there was a question about stepmoms. And John went through this whole schick about the Brady bunch.
Starting point is 01:09:59 I don't have any step kids at all. But you know, if you want to... to get advice from a stepson, why not ask Greg Brady? Hey, he probably could help, don't we? Better yet, ask his brother Peter. Yes, too much doesn't have that
Starting point is 01:10:21 laugh track button when he's doing these cameos because I'm not sure where the punchlines are. I was like Peter, wait, hey, oh, they ticket. Thank you, John Levitts. Thanks for that. Okay. This is a thing that John can't help himself from doing.
Starting point is 01:10:40 So, you know, he gives John Levitt's credit for that's the ticket. And the liar character he played 47 years ago. I don't know. I couldn't even tell you. And then John has to act like, in case John Levitts is watching, I'm going to throw some love his way. Levitts. Thanks for letting you. Thanks for letting me headline your club.
Starting point is 01:11:02 And thanks for doing a set before me. That was very nice. But yeah. Oh, Betty. It's literally for one person. It's a cameo. He's wondering why this used dirty sponges yelling at him. That was very nice yet.
Starting point is 01:11:20 But John McCr- He played Kevin May, the stepson in the movie called The Stepson. Good stuff. Ask him. That's who you should ask. Because like I said, I've never been a Stepson. This cadence that he's doing is so enraging. What is that? He sounds enraged.
Starting point is 01:11:47 Why is he so angry? I think it's mostly fueled by being out of breath between every word. He started this out of breath, and now he's, like, working himself up, and he doesn't have it. He's also not living a great life right now, it seems like. I'm a little bit worried about the guy. I saw Bob Dylan last week. He's 85, and he has more breath to play the harmonica than John does to do a cameo. God, there's one thing I wish he couldn't do that fucking harmonica in his mouth.
Starting point is 01:12:14 John plays the harmonica? I mean, I'm talking about... I know, I know. Right. June 10th was my father's 100th birthday. May he rest in heaven. In peace in heaven. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 01:12:26 Anyway, thanks. Frank. You have a great day. This is stuttering John saying, Kikia. Wow. Holy shit. What a great investment that is.
Starting point is 01:12:38 I'm glad John's getting money. He needs money very badly. He just hired an attorney in Huntsville, Alabama. to respond to Shulie's complaint to the lawsuit about the DMCA strikes. And someone pointed this out to me, John's Instagram account. So he's promoting his Hollywood show. He's promoting his stand-up. But then look at how many posts in a row were just his GoFundMe.
Starting point is 01:13:07 And the funny thing is, 14-4-8 to the goal, and then 14,040 to the goal, and then 14,040 to the goal, and then 14,040 to the goal. Like he just keeps posting this over and over again. No one's giving it money. And he just keeps posting it. But yeah, how many posts is that in a row? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
Starting point is 01:13:27 Nine posts in a row. I actually know there's one before that. Before he got any money he had this post. Ten in the row just promoting, hey, you guys can give me money. Come on, baby. I know I'm due. It's just not hitting the right people. We're going to see a little bit later how Opie and a lot of people are turning into
Starting point is 01:13:45 Stuttering John. We watched Brendan Shob starting to complain about super chats. It feels like any day someone's going to start delivering pizza to that storage unit, and he's going to have to deal with it. But what we just saw is John, like, almost finishing his metamorphosis into Eric the actor. He was like this high in the frame. It's like he is forming into Eric, and then I guess we all go home. Right.
Starting point is 01:14:11 And Eric was not playing a character. No. And I think a lot of these people, like, John thinks he's doing a bit or playing a character. And then at a certain point, you're just Chad playing the hype train on your show every day. Right. It's no longer goofing on Aaron Hibolt. You're just asking for money and playing that fucking song.
Starting point is 01:14:28 Yeah. I think that's what's happening to Johnny. Like, he's lost himself. Yeah, he's not a roast comic at the Friars Club. He's just this little diminutive, you know, broken person yelling at a guy named Frank for some reason. Who paid him? Who gave him money? Right.
Starting point is 01:14:43 Thanks, Frank. All right. Yeah. Thank you. I've been getting some inside information about what John has going on. And then today it came out that John definitely did hire an attorney. From what I've heard, this attorney is not working pro bono. He's not an old stern fan who's just excited to meet a celebrity.
Starting point is 01:15:03 He is charging John money. Now how John's paying for that? No idea. Cameos. Camios, I guess. The guy I was talking to today believes that John does have a job, but he does not know what that job might be. Hmm, he has to have a job.
Starting point is 01:15:19 Anyway, so John has hired an attorney, and he has filed for an extension. He wants to be able to respond to Shulley's complaint, July 27th is the request to the court, so I think that dropped today at some point, maybe late yesterday. But he's going to respond to this lawsuit, and it's going to cost everybody.
Starting point is 01:15:44 you lots of money and chui raised $21,000 for it so I think he'll be good for a little while unless he's getting charged by the typo because that could get expensive. All right. This was on Davenor's Anonymous. I think Adam found this on Davers Anonymous. And it's a fantastic clip from the Howard Stern show with Greg Fitzsimmons is the guest on the show. And Greg at this time is partnering up with John as part of the Southern John and Friends comedy tour. And so Howard does not like it when people are profiting off of his show and his name. And he's got some some words for John. And John never learns and never understands what's going on. So you give you the history of the show. John wants to produce a show in L.A. So he's calling
Starting point is 01:16:33 around and he's having a hard time getting the big acts and he wants me to do the show. I sign on before anybody, right? Yeah. And then I talk to John about signing with me. I ask you a question. Yeah. Do you sign with John, and be honest, because you know he works with me and that perhaps you better do it? Part of it was, part of it, I wanted the exposure. I know he's going to promote it on the show. It's good for me. It's an L.A.
Starting point is 01:16:55 So I come up for less money than I normally do. Right. Greg Fitzsimmons right there, because this is John's big thing. I paid Nick DePaolo $2,500. I paid Jim 14, $1,000. He's always giving you specific numbers. and acting like he was helping these guys out, you just heard Greg Fitzham and say,
Starting point is 01:17:14 I'm taking less money than I would normally make doing a comedy show because it's Stuttering John's tied to the Howard Stern show. I might get on the show. You guys will talk about me on the show. All of these things have everything to do with the Howard Stern show. Not that much less. So in other words, John is able to.
Starting point is 01:17:29 Not that much less, though, John says. He has to protest everything. Yeah. Well, to get you on these shows because of me. Yeah. Wait, wait, wait. What do you mean? I never say how it has anything to do with this.
Starting point is 01:17:41 No, John, you don't have to say it. You're going to promote it on the show. And that's one of the reasons I'm signing up. KALASX, the radio station is going to promote. John, how do you think that happens? How do you think that happens? You know, Howard, I, you know. What am I going to hear an argument on this now?
Starting point is 01:17:55 No, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter very soon. You'll see. You'll see how it matters. I don't want comedians being pressured by you. I didn't pressure by paying him good money to do. No, no, no, no, I didn't get pressure him at all.
Starting point is 01:18:06 I know, I signed out because I want to. Why does he have to take the price? Why do you have to reduce your price to be on the show? It's great press. I mean, you guys are going to plug the hell out of the radio. No, I understand that for you. But John should pay you what you get. Yes, this is the point. So Greg goes, we're doing a theater in L.A.? All right, cool. Yeah, I just need, uh, yeah, I assume we're going to sell out. I'll need three grand for that or whatever. And John goes, that's how much I make. It's my name on the marquee. not Fitzdog
Starting point is 01:18:37 It's Suttery John and friends So John Even though he only does 10 minutes on stage And seven of them Are a tape of him Reading questions He didn't write to celebrities
Starting point is 01:18:48 I think John's like There's nothing to do with you Howard Stern No no you just use stuff The Howard Stern team filmed And recorded That the staff wrote for you No it's okay because Because then
Starting point is 01:19:00 Hey he better do business Greg got paid well You guys It's not true He doesn't get paid What are you doing Howard, this was an event. It was like, it was a solid-out house.
Starting point is 01:19:10 I don't know. That's what I'm saying. I know why it's an event. Because of you. Right. That's what I'm saying. Exactly. That's the point I was going to make. Greg wouldn't take a payout for anybody else. I paid him well.
Starting point is 01:19:21 I might not like him. You paid him less than you normally would pay. No, no. What he gets for a weekend is more than what he got. This is one show. Yeah, but when I do one show in a theater, I get a lot more than what I get for a week. Oh, don't tell you. A lot more.
Starting point is 01:19:34 John, ah, it's a lot. It's pretty close. John can't just accept that Greg Fitzsimmons is being honest with him. I'm taking less money. I could make more money that weekend playing another theater doesn't have your stupid name attached to it. Yeah. And the more he dickers about these details about the money,
Starting point is 01:19:53 the more he can deliberately not get the point that he's tied to Howard Stern. Correct. John, that he's still argue with you. No, but the point is, I was happy to do it, and I was flattered you. Of course you're happy to do it because you're associated with me. Yes. And then the ad comes out. Not only, in the meantime, I get him with my agent.
Starting point is 01:20:08 I call my agent, I go stuttering John, you should sign this guy. You know, he's selling out. He's got promoting with the show. He's a great guy, is funny. And then I'm telling John to sign up my agent. We went to lunch last time I went to show. I go, you got to sign up my agent. They sign.
Starting point is 01:20:20 My agent produces the show. All of a sudden, he's got Schimel and Jenny. All of a sudden, the ad comes on the radio. Guess who's not on it? You. You? Oh, it's worse than that. It says, come and see.
Starting point is 01:20:31 This is the correction. Come and see Bob Schimel, Rich Jenny, and a bunch of other flunkies. Oh, we're going to try to make you laugh. Oh, so Flunkies, that is a reference to the Howard Stern show, the Wack Packers, you know, the Flunkies. That's close to put that image in there. It's like, oh, this is going to be a cool, like, Howard Stern Circus there will be watching. You know, Beetlejuice would be up on stage and Bob Levy will be making fun of someone's shirts.
Starting point is 01:21:00 He's like, I got to be there for this thing. I'm clumpf. Flonkey. Howard, this is what it said. It said. Hey, come see some funny comics like Richard, Jenny, and Robert Chimel, and then see some stern funkies who are trying to be funny, like Craig Fitzsimmis stuttering John.
Starting point is 01:21:13 And I'm in Nacra. Stern funkies, they're trying to be funny. Now, first off, very insulted to Greg Fitzsitts, which is a great comic. Yeah. I've seen him. He's really good. But also, that's insane right there. All the sudden.
Starting point is 01:21:26 All right, listen to me. That wasn't me. It's not you. It's never you. It's never you, John. But yet this is what happens with you. No, they dissed me. How about you just go out and do stand-up comedy on your own?
Starting point is 01:21:38 Why do you have to involve the comics that work on this show? It's not only comics that work on this show. Oh, that's right. It's Artie and K.C. And it's Florentine before he was on this show. See, John has to find, he's a nitpick every single point. You're finding guys that are associated with the Howard Sturtschow. Not all of them.
Starting point is 01:21:54 Modi hasn't been on the Howard Sturch. I was like, okay, fine. And Modi's there too. That's not the point. You fucking asshole. All right. Just go do that. Go do that.
Starting point is 01:22:03 Did L.A. want those people? No. Actually, L.A. didn't say... You're killing me. You're killing me. Your enterprises, when are you going to do something on your own without me? I do comedy on my own. I make people laugh.
Starting point is 01:22:19 That's fine. Do something on your own. You know, I thought I was doing something. Don't represent my show. I don't want Howard Stern flunky show. I never said that. I don't want the Howard Stern. If Casey wants to go do stand-up, let him go book his own show.
Starting point is 01:22:32 Stay away. from my show. Now I have to battle you, but you work for me. Stay away from my show. I'm not, all right. I don't want any Howard Stern traveling shows. I never say your name everywhere. It's never the Howard Stern. Oh, here we go. It's Stuttering John and Friends. That's how it's billed every time. What's crazy is Howard's actually been very generous about giving John the stuttering John moniker. Because if this was WWE, like those guys jump to a different organization. and they have to change their names because Vince McMahon owns that.
Starting point is 01:23:09 So for John to say, no, no, I have a little to do with Howard Sturgeo, it's Stuttering John and friends. Who knows Sturring John outside of the Howard Stern show? It's the only reason why anyone would know who he has. At any point, even right now, Howard Stern could decide to take that name back away from God. And it's out of kindness and grace that he allows him to run around and call himself Stuttering John. Yep. Stuttering John. What?
Starting point is 01:23:35 Oh, you just dumped them. It has nothing to do with you. You never mentioned your name. It's suddenly turning into a whole thing. Mark, you're on the air. Stuttering, John, you are a miserable maggot. You're ruining the show. You're hanging on Howard's coattails.
Starting point is 01:23:51 I get that. You know what? This weekend, I understood Cabby. You should go back and find crazy Cabby and get your ass kicked. You want to know something, Mark? I sit to my girlfriend this weekend. I totally understand Cabby saying you're on Howard's. tales. I never used to understand what he was talking about.
Starting point is 01:24:06 It's always some way of figuring finagling the Howard Stern traveling show without, like, like, it's not quite Howard. You might mistake it for Howard. And somehow it becomes Casey, Gary. It's like the whole show. See, again, John deliberately missing the point. So Howard's like, well, obviously people are associated with the Howard Stern show because it's Gary Delabate and Casey Armstrong and I didn't book Gary.
Starting point is 01:24:33 Oh, fuck. I mean, I can't imagine what Susanna went through. Oh, God. Yeah. He starts saying, oh, they were making fun of me, too. They weren't just making fun of Greg. The only reason they changed it is so they could work in the word stern. They wanted the phrasing to have Stern's name in it.
Starting point is 01:24:49 And you just admitted that it's right there. Isn't Greg Fitzsimmons the guy that he threw under the bus to try and please Kate Mini? Yes. Is that Greg Fitzger? He was like, fuck, that guy's a predator and he's a loser. He tried to get you. an agent and he did. He did get him an agent.
Starting point is 01:25:06 Unbelievable. Gregman Simmons is Kate Meaney's godfather. And yes, that was, that was, oh, I forgot about that connection. That's hilarious. But Gregman Simmons actually used the argument just now that John would use anytime he can, like Mike Buscemi. I got him an audition for the tonight show. I got him on the tonight show.
Starting point is 01:25:24 It's always about the favors he did. So Gregman Zimus pulled that car. He's like, John, I introduced you to my agent. I got you signed. And now my name's not even on the fucking bill. I'm taking less money? That was then. Right.
Starting point is 01:25:38 It's like, you know, when they do a Broadway show and they put out a traveling? I don't want the money. I don't want any of this. I don't want any Howard Stern traveling show. You know, way before I had any. The tip of the iceberg, stuttering John is much more evil. Ask them about the money he gets from all these whack packers. What?
Starting point is 01:25:55 I don't know. Oh, that's interesting. What? She still makes the same fucking sound. Uh-huh. What? We know now that they didn't then that. That's a complete lie.
Starting point is 01:26:03 and he was getting money from all of them cash. Well, Melrose Larry Green was paying them to open, 500 bucks to open these shows. And so I think that's Dominic, the attorney, who cost my buddy Anthony Coombe, a lot of money to divorce. But I believe that's Dominic calling in and has some inside information on those. What? I don't know anything about that. I don't even want to know if there's such a thing. It's much worse, hackers. This is Dan the photographer problem.
Starting point is 01:26:30 Well, maybe Dan knows something. I know. No, no, never mind, Dan Fiber. Just to be a little more honest than you. I get money from the way. You got to leave because I'm so sick of you. All right. And as soon as I start being nice to him, that's when the...
Starting point is 01:26:41 The floodgate. Yeah, the floodgate happens. I can merchandise this in, too. Oh, you don't know. Stuttering John and Friends has become the Traveling Howard Stern Show. Yeah, it's the road show of this show. Yeah. There's a whole Broadway production that's going around the country now.
Starting point is 01:26:58 I got to wear a cat outfit next week. It's going to stop, though. I'm stopping it. You'll see. It's going to take me a while. All right. From this studio. Stuttering John?
Starting point is 01:27:09 Yeah, he called me all weekend. Oh, you're kidding. This is a whole other thing that happened here that this clip were put together. Lakers N1 Nation on YouTube as 12,000 subscribers posted this two months ago, 22,000 views on it. I was so annoyed. I dare to criticize John's job performance and that he wasn't talking to me for two days
Starting point is 01:27:34 It was the best two days of my life And he started calling me all weekend And I said oh, he must be torturing himself So he called me up and finally called him back Oh yeah You can't even get a hold of the guy He calls you every minute You don't even know where to call
Starting point is 01:27:49 Oh, you don't John has eight numbers Right He's the most and half the numbers don't work Because they just continued a phone service or something So he's like, I don't care, you know, who's mad at me, only if you're mad at me. And do you really think I do a bad job? So I said, John, let me explain it to you.
Starting point is 01:28:11 This is nothing personal. I said, you're a valued guy. You do stuff here that is valuable, but you're screwing up. You got to do it, actually. If you're going to answer the phone, and as goofy as that may seem, and you're going to go make duty every minute during the show, and you can have other people answer the phone, you've got to come back and check their work
Starting point is 01:28:30 or explain to them what it is we're looking for. I said, I hold you responsible for the phone calls. Maybe you don't duty through the whole show. Maybe you figure out a way to hold it in. And if you really got to go that bad, it's taking about 30 seconds to move your bowels during the commercials instead of standing in here. I'm a hack.
Starting point is 01:28:50 I just realized Howard was complaining about shooting at work long before I was complaining about it. This is an old bit by the time I was complaining about it. No, no, but jerking off at work is still your thing. That's all you. That is true. We have more voicemails coming up. A very funny one from a truck driver coming on.
Starting point is 01:29:08 Pretty seconds to move your bowels during the commercials instead of standing in here during the commercials. Everybody else manages to move their bowels and do their job. And do their job. And somehow get it all. I don't move my bowels the entire show. I'm sitting here sometimes five hours. I don't move my bowels.
Starting point is 01:29:25 Somehow I can turn my sphincter off. You didn't get on some schedule where it was in the middle of the show. Yeah, and I said to him, I said, John, and I said, that's the other thing. I said, you're reacting now overboard. You know, I yelled at you on the air. Maybe that's my fault. I should have come to you afterwards and explain to you what you did wrong. You know, maybe, you know, I was harsh with you because now you put me in the position.
Starting point is 01:29:48 I've got to be funny on the air from your mistakes. I said, so did you make a mistake? Yes. Do I hate you? Does that mean personally I hate you? No. Do you do a valuable job? Yes, you perform a valuable job, but do it right. So now you're going to glimpse into this conversation. This a needy fucking conversation that John had.
Starting point is 01:30:08 Did you really mean that when you said I suck on the show? No, John, you're fine. Just need to stop being in the bathroom and answer the goddamn phones. Someone put Jeff the drug through. I had a fucking listen to that asshole. Blaming you for this. It's a criticism. him. I need you to do your job right. If you're going to screen phone call, there's do it right,
Starting point is 01:30:31 or resign, or whatever. But you're a good guy. You know, I care about you, all that kind of, you know, he's looking for a daddy. Right. I'm like, John, I care of me. I love you. I go, Oh, Jesus Christ. John's always looking for a daddy. And that was what Howard was to him. He's telling him he loves him. But also, you can't criticize him without him. ready to jump off the cliff. Yeah. His feelings get very hurt. You don't want me anymore?
Starting point is 01:31:02 I just said you should answer the goddamn phones that we pay you for. Christ. I go, I love you too, John. I love you too. Oh, that's funny. I love you. I love you too.
Starting point is 01:31:15 I got enough kids. I need people to work. What? Like the job he's doing a piece of if I love you? Yeah, I'm not allowed to criticize his job. I said you're not doing a good job. When you screw off, doesn't mean you're horrible. Doesn't mean you're a terrible person.
Starting point is 01:31:31 What are you doing in here? But also the other problem is if we tell you something you're not doing right. It wasn't. You were saying like you were like... You're worthless, I said. I admitted to you... You were saying every bad thing in the book that the last two days. Yes, because I'm forced into a position to make this funny when you screw up.
Starting point is 01:31:48 That's what I'm trying to explain to you. The only time I get screwed up is when I am dumping. Every other time it's fine. Well, then don't dump. Figure out a way not to move your bowels during the show. whatever you do should not affect the show. Maybe you don't eat as much during the show or something. Whatever triggers, you're moving. Do you drink a lot of coffee?
Starting point is 01:32:04 No. What do you think triggers your bowel moving? Because I don't, when you get up in the morning, it's the first thing that you got to do, you know? So then do it at home. It never hits me until I, I, I'm up for an hour. Then, you know, don't get so comfortable here. They get up earlier. Yeah, get up early.
Starting point is 01:32:19 Get up at 4 o'clock in the morning. I go in the afternoon sometimes. Just once a day? Yeah. One day. Well, I don't know what you're concerned. Jesus Christ That's impossible.
Starting point is 01:32:29 I know, Charlie with his beer shits over here. You're only shooting once a day. Okay, it's super mad. Yeah. They realize you had superpowers over here. I didn't even know. Yeah, no one cares.
Starting point is 01:32:40 I mean, I got to sit and figure out how you should do your job. Dude, I swear to go to that. And it takes it, how long is it take you to go to the bathroom? Gary tells me sometimes a half hour. That was one time. It took a long time when I was having a panic attack. Everything's an excuse. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:53 It takes you half an hour to take a shit. Well, that one time, but also I was having a panic. panic attack. While shitting? Yeah, that's a weird time to have a panic attack. One time when I was having a panic attack. That was like... Don't have a panic attack.
Starting point is 01:33:07 Have a panic attack at home with your kids and your wife. That's good advice. It's hilarious. Domit, was it, join a commercial. Five minutes. I should say went to the bathroom. It's disgusting the way you talk. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:33:18 Go to the bathroom. Yeah, number two. Number two. The last time I did, number two, it was five minutes. I'd say, I was back. It shouldn't take five minutes. You'd take a second. to go that bad.
Starting point is 01:33:29 I don't know what you're doing. You got to read the sports section, Howard. You don't understand. He don't like sports. Go and then field is a little to some... No, no, no. If I have that, I do that at home. You know, I don't know what to tell you. Do your job. And he said, I love you. I thought we had a nice comment. I always tell him I love him. What? You don't ever say that to him, Robin?
Starting point is 01:33:49 He's in love with me. I go, I love you too, John. Just do your job. You know, it was a nice conversation. Why do you make it so like you? Because it's annoying that you're calling me all weekend with your problem. I called you once. You called me back. I called you again. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:03 And then you called me again. And then I said, I would call you the next time. You call me back all the time. All right. All right. All right, John. We all love you. And now, I mean, did you tell him?
Starting point is 01:34:17 What? Did you tell him that if you have a problem with him on his job where Gary has a problem, they should be able to talk to him. Well, I didn't get to that part because I was walking down the street. What were you doing? I was going to buy some fruit. I was going shopping. And you stay in the middle of the street going, I love you, John?
Starting point is 01:34:37 Yeah. I mean, it's just I had to stop in the middle of the street to talk to him. You call me from the street. I know, because I had to be done with you. You were calling every minute. And I went, gee, maybe the guy's got an emergency. Who knows what it is. Right.
Starting point is 01:34:53 You know, John talks a lot about the first. fact that Howard's mad at him because he went to Leno behind his back. And John goes, I tried to talk to Howard. He wouldn't take a meeting with me. He wouldn't take a phone call. It's because he's been such a pain in the ass. Like, you made fun of me on the radio the other day. Now I have to fucking cry about it to you over the weekend.
Starting point is 01:35:13 It's like, Jesus Christ, man. He can act like a man. And I've heard this many times where John calls Howard and Howard spends the weekend trying to get a hold of him and can't. This has happened many, many times. In this situation, there's a moment where he's like, oh, yeah, well, I was out on a date night with Susanna. We were watching a movie.
Starting point is 01:35:34 So you called Howard and then went to a movie. That's your boss on a Sunday. What are you doing? It's all like control and big timing and just punishing people for being mean to him, the same way he is now. Yeah, he gets credit for having called. So that's actual work. John's mind. But it's also, I think to
Starting point is 01:35:55 Anna's point, it's a punishment, don't be mean to me on the air or I'll ruin your weekend to get. Yes. You know, it's like, stop criticizing my shitty work, no pun intended. And how about this? He goats him into saying I love you and then on the air, he goes, ha ha ha, you said you love me. I know. What an asshole? He really is just the worst person. I'm not surprised that Howard doesn't talk to him and nobody from that show talks to him anymore. Go figure.
Starting point is 01:36:19 Him and Beth are still close. He actually admitted not too long ago they said Beth, an email and never heard back. One of these of brightens up my day is when we talk about our new friend, Artie Fletcher. 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, bits and pieces. That's a good one. All right, so Adam Thoreau sent this over to me.
Starting point is 01:36:49 Adam is our video editor on this channel. And this is amazing. We're going back to 2022. And there's some information coming out about Artie Fletcher, according to Mike Kelta, the Mike Kelta show down in Tampa. Artie Fletcher is a comedian that is Artie Fletcher, New York's bad boy.
Starting point is 01:37:09 Oh. And, um... As a New Yorker and a fan of bad boys, I'm not genuinely shocked. So I used to hang out with it. I still do, but I used to hang out with a lot of guys who worked at the improv, and they had a podcast. And Johnny B., who does nights for us, was on the podcast. I got to tell you, this kid had a podcast before anybody had a podcast.
Starting point is 01:37:35 And I was on the show, and we were talking, they were like, oh, Arty Fletcher. I'm like, what is this Arty Fletcher? And they go, Arty Fletcher is a comedian. And he, this is what they said. This is allegedly, I don't know that this is true, but other people have backed up the story. already Fletcher got caught going down on a cook at the improv back in the day and already Fletcher got caught going down on a cook okay yeah they were like on top of that's on top of being a horrible comedian but uh does not live that kind of lifestyle so it was a shock to everybody
Starting point is 01:38:05 yeah yeah so uh already seemed in his defense as it's not true yeah there's the new york bad boy so he's veto from his surprise it sounds like ah i'm doing it for the joke You got funny this is, huh? For the lulls. He's about 80. But, I mean, that's the sweetest picture of Eric, which is hilarious. He's in a bowler shirt with a hamster. All right, easy there, Fonzie.
Starting point is 01:38:33 So he is a complete and utter fraud. So Mike Kelton was on to Artie Fletcher a few years ago and was calling him out for not being who he presents himself as. and I'm very excited to tell you about what's coming up this Saturday on WATP. The teaser. The teaser. The teaser. The teaser. The teaser.
Starting point is 01:38:57 That's right. We are going to be featuring Mike Kelta with Artie Fletcher on and a Christian Blad has put together a whole clip package for us. And you can expect more things like this. All right. What about Letterman? When were you on Letterman? Okay.
Starting point is 01:39:15 I was on Letterman. I also did sketch on Letterman, too. But I filled in for a guy named Mike Sweeney. This is probably why you were still in, you probably only about 300 pounds and that. But anyway. Will there be more of that humor at this same favorite response? Oh, yeah, I'm going to do my own Mike Sweet,
Starting point is 01:39:33 my home mic comedy. When a fat guy calls another guy fat, great comedy. Go ahead. I'm 66 years old. Just cut to the chase. Did you do stand up on Letterman or not? So, just like Suttering John, it's like, well, that was a hack bit. Well, the reason why I did that is because I'm, you know, older.
Starting point is 01:39:52 It's like, you always have to have an excuse for everything. Yes, sir. Where is that video? Three minutes. Oh, my God. I'll find it for you. Mike. Well, why would you not lead with that?
Starting point is 01:40:01 Why wouldn't that be all over your website? All right, forget it. All right. So this is one of the things that Mike Celtic calls him out for is his resume, claimed that he's been on Conan and Letterman and all these things. It's like, you did stand up on Letterman? Yeah, I did three minutes on there. Yep.
Starting point is 01:40:16 Also bits too. He also did bits. Right. And every single thing he does is up online. He posts everything. It's on his website. But for some reason, this big letterman appearance never bothered to put it up online. He's got it somewhere.
Starting point is 01:40:29 I'll get it. You can tell it was bullshit. He tried twice. He was like, it's before you were born, so you wouldn't have heard of it. No, I've heard of it. Okay, well, then I was filling in for someone. So my name might not even be there. And then if it is, it's a different name because I go by this other name sometimes.
Starting point is 01:40:43 and he's so full of shit. He's so full of shit. I love that Mike's holding him to this. This is going to be great. Yeah. That was fantastic. So I was on the creep off on Monday. And Vinny had a reveal for me that it turns out,
Starting point is 01:40:57 Artie Fletcher did actually work at the University of Tampa, where he claimed that he was a professor in the graduate program in the theater department. And he has been fired from that job. And he was not a professor. but he did work there. So we got some new information from Vinnie Paulino's got an inside track on Artie Fletcher. All things, Artie Fletcher's
Starting point is 01:41:22 knows a lot of his close friends. He was caught going down on a cook. Caught going down on a cook. That's exactly right. Well, it's funny too, because when he was bragging about it to John, he's just like, oh, it's great. There's 18-year-old girls. And if they want a good grade, I'm like, it's going to think more than an apples. Tits McGee. You're like, Jesus Christ, why are you talking like this? So maybe he was living that lifestyle.
Starting point is 01:41:42 It's always possible. All right, let's get into Greg Opie Hughes. Opie two days ago did a stream with Tony P. And Opie's talking about this diet. He's cutting sugar out, and he didn't realize how difficult this was going to be. It's very similar to, I remember on the BS show a few years back, it was Shulie and the Reverend Bob Levy both quitting smoking at the same time. And it eventually became pretty clear that Shulie was actually quitting smoking and Bob was not.
Starting point is 01:42:32 Because one of them was quite ordery and the other one was doing fine. And I think that Opie's going through this now with cutting sugar out of his diet. He's having a real tough go at it. And this is one of the greatest clips we've ever played on the show. Anything you want to do to introduce this? It's just a little long. Stick with it. Pay attention because this all happened in real time.
Starting point is 01:42:52 And I've watched it a dozen times. I can't get enough. I always thought I ate healthy, a lot of grilled chicken, a lot of oatmeal in the morning, not the sugary oatmeal and yogurts and fruit and bleb, blah, ble. But I didn't realize how much sugary shit I was reaching for during the day to supplement, you know, my food intake. So now when you're not eating the sugar part, this is boring for people. What am I doing?
Starting point is 01:43:16 I used to be a big big radio star. Now I'm talking about my sugar intake. I did. This is what people are. I do suck. Tony Pee, shut up. He's having a meltdown. Let him suck.
Starting point is 01:43:30 Jesus Christ. The, while we are so in his head. In the back of his head, he's listening to Joe something going like, ah, I'm doing the thing that we used to make fun of him on Jack Tover. I'm having a phone conversation with my friend
Starting point is 01:43:42 pretending it's a show. Fuck. What people are, Rachel, listening to this. Oh, my God. What are you talking about? These are the real stuff. You're not eating Oreo cookies anymore.
Starting point is 01:43:54 or or housing a whole box of lucky charms in the middle of the night. Who gives a shit? Do you understand you had the biggest radio show in America? Now you're talking about your sugar intake? You're right. I stink. Oh, that was a argument with himself. That was, that was schizo.
Starting point is 01:44:14 Yes. And we picked up on that a long time ago that he's always answering to voices in his head that we can't hear. Yes. And that was a really crazy. easy one because at the end this voice instead of telling him he stinks so at the end he goes you're right I do stink Tony P wasn't saying that
Starting point is 01:44:32 Tony P's like this is riveting stuff He was saying no people in this age demographic really like this stuff I know which is also so stupid He didn't hear Tony at all Tony was just trying to catch a falling person This guy is you know it's why he yells too Because he has to shout over them
Starting point is 01:44:49 Like this is what he hears This is what's going on nobody was saying this This was first thing in the morning. Listen to how he ends this argument with himself again. Shit, you're not eating Oreo cookies anymore. Or housing a whole box of lucky charms in the middle of the night. Who gives a shit? Do you understand you had the biggest radio show in America?
Starting point is 01:45:09 Now you're talking about your sugar intake. You're right. I stink. I like how Tony was taking it back. Whoa, a whole box of what? That is too much. What causes the purpose? purple lips.
Starting point is 01:45:27 Oh, my God. He was just fighting with himself and he lost really badly. Yeah. He sees Tony on the screen, but he hears you. Right. And I can't help but think of like the scenes in Lord of the Rings with Gallum. Yeah. Where he's just struggling to, am I good?
Starting point is 01:45:43 Am I bad? Am I? Which thing am I? And I think the bad is taking over. Yeah, you make it sound noble. This is just like, they're all going to laugh at you. Yeah. It's floating heads around.
Starting point is 01:45:54 That's a good point. Well, let's see what the reaction is after the. this meltdown. Oh, my God. Man, do you need a hug? I will drive. I will call out of work and drive out there, two and a half hours to give you a hug if you need one.
Starting point is 01:46:08 I need sugars, what I need. You need a Jim Norton or Anthony or a call or wheeze. Yeah. That's what you need. Microphone stand. Yeah. I mean, that's all a friend can do. That's all any good person can do is respond the way Tony.
Starting point is 01:46:26 did. Just one thing to keep in mind is that Tony is doing this at 4 a.m. before he has to go to a full day of custodial work. That's the kind of guy he is. Yes, he gets up extra early to do this show. Now, he can't stop like doing it sober. He is very high. He smokes and joined through the whole thing. God bless him. It's the only thing he looks forward to. It gets them up in the morning. I understand that. I have no problem with that. But when you just like laughs like that out of nowhere, you're like, oh, this guy's just really stoned. That makes sense. He's also like coping because This is fucking traumatic. Like, I don't know what you do when somebody has a crisis like that in front of you,
Starting point is 01:47:00 except do you need a hug? I'll cancel work. It's very sweet of them. So this is the metamorphosis into stuttering John. We've been documenting this for quite some time with Opie. And people are, you know, unaware of the past with these people, their history. It wasn't like Opie and John were similar guys on the radio. Opie was the host of Opie and.
Starting point is 01:47:26 Anthony, his name was in the title of the show. And John was the stunt boy for Howard Stern. It's not that big of a surprise that Stering John is a miserable failure. It sucks at life. But for Opie to get to this point is pretty crazy. Guess what? I think I turned 50 and learned that orange juice was bad for you. Because when we were growing up, it was like,
Starting point is 01:47:47 orange juice, vitamin C, it's great for you. They say that there's probably more sugar in orange juice than a goddamn can of soda. I only learned that a few years ago. Really? Pretty much. Bro, man. Yeah, a glass of orange juice is like, I don't know. You're eating fucking an orange tree.
Starting point is 01:48:10 So eating an orange tree. I think the problem is there's no fiber in it and sugar. Anyway. No sugar. Yeah, that's the problem. So that's really funny that like opiate jadder. No thinking that orange juice was good for. yeah. Should I eat my vegetables or chug down some odes? They're both
Starting point is 01:48:30 have vitamins. Do they go bad? John thinks it's impressive to chug it. Oh yeah. For sure. So, Opie is discussing how those people in Manhattan who are north of 100th Street react to him and respond to him when he's in their town. You were telling that story about going uptown?
Starting point is 01:48:54 bro, as soon as I go past 100th Street I'm being honest about it especially when I was growing a little more of a beard I can't tell you how many times the locals go are you an undercover cop? It was so obvious I didn't belong there
Starting point is 01:49:10 you got the look you could go past 100th street no I don't have the look but yeah what does that mean? You look like a piece of shit I know you fit it with a riff wrap So the other thing that Opie would do when he'd go up town is he would question people about everything they were doing.
Starting point is 01:49:29 People would be out on the street selling stuff and you'd get a camera up in their face and start asking them questions about it. It's like, yeah, no shit they think you're a narc. You're being very intrusive into their business. People don't like that. It's seven feet tall and white and blonde and sounds like he's full of shit alone and you won't spend any money on anything. That's a narc. This next clip that you pulled at him is amazing because we're watching a man who can't let go.
Starting point is 01:49:56 He had a career in radio. He made millions of dollars. And now he begs for PayPal donations. The QR code's right up there on the screen right now. He asks for Super Chats on Super Chat Fridays. Complains when people are cheap and don't give him money. And, you know, you would think that you'd go, all right, well, my career is over. I don't know why I'm still doing this.
Starting point is 01:50:17 And for him to have the balls to say this. What do you think of that, bro? What? Old rock star still rocking out? Because Rod Stewart almost dropped dead the other day, man. Yeah, no, a lot of these guys, they don't know any better. I think they want to just drop dead on stage. I think, I mean, think about it.
Starting point is 01:50:36 When you have a job, you can't call it a job. If you're a rock star, it's not a job. So when do you retire? If it's not a real job, how do you retire for something like that? You just stop doing it because you've been doing it for too long. I agree with you, but I mean. I think Rod Stewart's a piece of shit because two weeks before, like, he just canceled whatever. He took oxygen.
Starting point is 01:50:57 Fuck that guy. Yeah, right? The crazy thing about this is that the rock stars are complaining about are still entertaining people in making money. Adam just went and saw Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan's having fun. The crowd's having fun. What's wrong with that? Funny I mentioned that because he was coming, Rod Stewart, to the same place I saw Bob Dylan in two weeks with Richard Marks,
Starting point is 01:51:18 so they can sing songs from their new duets record, like Young at Heart, in which Rod Stewart sings so much better than Richard Marks. It's incredible. He does so well on this verse, but he had to cancel the show, and Richard Marks is doing it on his own because he, you know, needed oxygen like a loser.
Starting point is 01:51:38 Yeah, that was a weird thing to be upset about, you know. You think anyone would be upset that they only get to see Richard Marks? The only reason I found out is because the person who worked there was telling me They were so upset that they couldn't see Rod Stewart because Rod Stewart was their favorite. Now they want to go. That's the draw. Yeah, not Richard Marks. Interesting.
Starting point is 01:51:55 Yeah, what a weird thing for Opie to be like, yeah, these fucking idiots. They just, they won't stop. They didn't even know when to let go. They didn't want to let go. What a crazy thing to say. All right, let's get into some hot political takes. That's what we turn into Opie Radio for. We got to take care of the reflection pull.
Starting point is 01:52:09 This is, I mean, now that we've solved all the issues in America, let's just, let's just take care of the reflection pool. Is it clean yet? No. I don't. Make algae great again. I, I, I don't know. Good joke. Wow.
Starting point is 01:52:26 Make algae great again. Well, that's retarded. It's the dumbest political tank. I realize the government waste a lot of money and I'm not a fan of that either. Government waste sucks. But then you go, they've cleaned up the homeless situation. They've tried to throwing money at that. That's not the solution to the homelessness.
Starting point is 01:52:41 That's not, well, we can either fix the reflection pool and make it look pretty or solve homelessness. Spare some change. Yeah, Trump's just like, I have to stare at the reflection pool. I can stay away from the homeless. So that's the thing we're doing. Hot day, good stuff. Do you think Opie's running for office? Based on this stuff he's saying here and based on his new slogan and how he didn't, you know,
Starting point is 01:53:04 presented, he just slipped it in, hoped it would go over on us. This next one really sounds like he's running for office. The question pool will never be nice again, unless you put a giant fence around it. the whole purpose of that thing is that it doesn't move right it's still water uh i got there fountains and stuff in there no the whole the whole thing was supposed to uh reflect the the washington monument that's why right so the water's got to be still for the washington monument monument not to move what the fuck does this have to do with the fact that our health care in america sucks i don't know i'm telling you that i have a little fun that's right woke dad does the same
Starting point is 01:53:43 thing. If you're in a politician talk and they're not talking about how you can put food on the table and feel protected in society. He just took that debate back. He's winning. Yes. Good job. And by the way, you know, Tony's just being nice. He knows how the reflecting
Starting point is 01:53:59 pool is supposed to work. He's setting you up. So it's supposed to be still or whatever. And your response is, I don't know. He just come on, man. It's got nothing. But health care isn't very good. Yeah, that's, that's true.
Starting point is 01:54:15 That's true. Well, the politics talk continues, and they're talking about Jack Schlossberg. John Bouvier Kennedy. He's talking about one of the Kennedys. He's competition now in the race. Eddie, he's got the other, the Slash, the Slash name. And he's up for election yesterday. He's a fucking weird dude, bro.
Starting point is 01:54:35 He's a little light in the loafers, I think, which doesn't make you a weird dude, I don't think. Well, maybe sometimes it makes you a weird dude, but he's just weird. Weird. Did he just do the, not there's anything wrong with it, but sometimes there is. You're not supposed to say, you're not supposed to say,
Starting point is 01:54:53 like, I mean, there's nothing there's anything wrong with being gay, although some of these gay people are back, right? Jesus, right. Sometimes you just can't play both sides, Opie. Sometimes, you're right. Not choosing a side, you really do pick one.
Starting point is 01:55:04 It's funny. All right, this next clip is a little interaction between Opie and his wife. And, Adam, you've thrown out some theories about his, marriage. Any set up for this?
Starting point is 01:55:19 Does anybody else in a marriage think it works like this? Required. I don't want anything that's required. I'm not a fan of required. Like, no. Bro. Don't you think? When it happens naturally, it's way better than something that's required. I hate
Starting point is 01:55:40 the couples because they have kids all of a sudden, you know, We have date night. Like we have to schedule it in. No, I don't want that in my relationship where you have to schedule that shit in. When it happens naturally, it's, it's, it's glorious. It's beautiful. Every June, you should naturally get a blood job.
Starting point is 01:56:03 Naturally, maybe the second, third week of June. Naturally, sure. You should naturally get one. That's how you should celebrate Juneteenth. Eugengy stuff, Opie, wow. Blow jobs on Jude teeth. Good stuff. Why is he such a child?
Starting point is 01:56:25 Why does he think having to work at anything is a sign of weakness? Like his show, his marriage, having to have scheduling time to see your wife when you have kids that go to school in the city does not sound like a weakness or a weak marriage. He's like working on a show is lame, working on his marriage is lame, working on anything is lame. he literally said date night
Starting point is 01:56:46 like you can't schedule anything with this asshole he will not have a schedule for anything he can't tell if he's coming to your comedy show you can't tell if he's coming to the beacon right so the wife is like you want to go out Saturday night for dinner and he's like I don't know yet
Starting point is 01:56:59 I might just need to make a reservation so if we're gonna go it's not putting me in a box right well this is why we couldn't get a reservation for your birthday at the hamps remember the weather saw it and he was all bummed out about it and you had no food in the kitchen
Starting point is 01:57:13 because you didn't plan ahead of time. Because you want to fly by the seat of your pants. So you're starving and alone on your birthday. Opie is witnessing the downfall of late-night television is a lot being talked about. The costs of late-night television and the revenue and how it's a very Jerry Banfield upside-down situation. And Opie's got a hot take.
Starting point is 01:57:35 Do you see when Stephen Colbert had his last show? They had the entire staff on stage? What the... Why do you need all those people? I think when you have too many people, it actually gets in a way of the content and the product. So why can't Jimmy Kimmel, like, he wants to take the summer off? How about he just downsizes and fucking does the show from a laptop? Like, just do something completely different.
Starting point is 01:58:00 How hard is it to do an hour a day? This is like a cakewalk every morning. I don't have a staff. Obviously, I don't have a staff, right, guys? Whoops. I just looked into his head and got it at the end there. what an arrogant prick. Yeah, how long ago was it that he just said he stinks and this shows.
Starting point is 01:58:20 Right, and then he's just like, why would you need a staff of writers and a live band? How hard could it be? Yeah, and skits that are pre-recorded and guests on. And people are just in that what an asshole. She was like, Jimmy Kimball, just fire everyone, just do it from a laptop. Which is a problem. And also, I should point out, if anyone wants to see if this, if you put it at this, into practice, if it works or not. Remember what happened with COVID?
Starting point is 01:58:46 Remember whatever started doing their shows from home and how good that was? All right. This is more about how there's just too many writers on these shows. They don't need it. Did you have more headaches when you had a staff? Yeah, our staff started getting a little big. Yeah. Right. So you had headaches. So Jimmy Kimmel must have many headaches. Without getting into the details. Yeah, I think when our staff got a little too big, it causes more and more issues. And a, and a, show like Jimmy Kimmel. There's got to be, I bet you there's no less, no less than 100 people that work every day
Starting point is 01:59:20 for that show. That's crazy. And if you really break down the show, how hard is it? You write a few jokes every night. So, all right. You get a couple joke riders. All right. Help me write the monologue.
Starting point is 01:59:32 You need two people to do that. He probably has a room of 12 people doing that part. And then he's got a guest. So then what? He has people research, what questions ask a guest? If you can't just have a guest come out and just babble with them for 10 minutes, then you suck at this. The balls on OPED.
Starting point is 01:59:53 It's like he's good at interviewing people or that this is an easy thing to do. I do think that these late night shows are probably overstaffed, probably some redundancies. They could probably trim some things. But two people to write monologues every night, open doesn't even understand how show business works if he thinks that's the case. No. You know, a lot more contributors for that.
Starting point is 02:00:11 I was surprised that that was his take on it. But he's so quick to be like, well, yeah, our show suffered when we had a lot of writers, but, you know, I feel no sympathy for this person in the same situation. When he's looking at him, like, really? So you're just not a human. When it happens to you, it's a thing. When it happens to anybody else, it's just get over it. Yeah, and that's also a telling thing, too, where it goes, yeah, things got worse when there were more people on step.
Starting point is 02:00:33 Yeah, because they're all complaining about what a prick you were to work for. More of these complainers who don't like what I have a shitty mood every day and yell at them. Or snap my fingers to get their attention. attention, not learn the intern's names. I think Tony's laughing at him at the end of that. Yeah. But for open to say anyone sucks at broadcasting is just insane at this point. He's proven how talentless he really is.
Starting point is 02:00:56 What is it he thinks his talent? What is it he thinks he's doing right here that can't be gotten anywhere else? That's a great question. I think he would struggle to answer it. He'd probably argue with himself. And lose the argument. And lose the arguments. Okay, then I just suck.
Starting point is 02:01:12 Is that what you want to hear? It is what I want to hear. I need sugar. Just taking your dinner order. Well, speaking of which, Opie is a big star down in New York City. I get recognized every day, but not a lot. Not like the old days, but still, well, not out here, but in the city once, maybe twice a day. I get recognized.
Starting point is 02:01:35 Hey, and now it's like, now they're a little confused. It used to be they knew right away. And now it's like, wait, you're a. And I kind of have to help them along. Yeah, Opie from Opie. Oh, yeah, right, right, right. What are you doing these days? They don't even know I've been podcasting for like a million years.
Starting point is 02:01:50 And I go, well, I'm podcast. You should check it out. And know what they say because they're older. My audience is older. Like, I don't know how the podcast thing works. I don't know how it works. I, what do you do? I'm like, oh, my God.
Starting point is 02:02:03 That's what we're competing against. Yeah. I need an idiot to just be in their car and can turn on a radio station. They don't know this podcasting. How do you not know podcasting? So one person goes, yeah, I don't want to listen to podcast, Opie. God, why don't you listen? As if they would pick Opie's show if they got into podcasts.
Starting point is 02:02:24 So it's very odd to me. Opie, you know, talks about getting recognized, doesn't happen very often. And it's always this, like, I don't know what you're doing now, which is polite. Right. You know, if you see Opie's want to be like, oh, yeah, man, I really like you on Opie and Anthony. You regret that. But only in the city. In the Hamptons, he's the guy who threw the mattresses out.
Starting point is 02:02:47 Well, right. In the Hamptons, they recognize him as the guy who's screaming on the back patio every morning. They'd rather have a rooster living next door to them than this asshole wakes them up at fucking 6 a.m. No matter what day it is. And whose deck is like this corroded splintered damage, like just hazard. So Opie really knows what every company should do that it has failed, like seriously. XM, he knows what they should have done.
Starting point is 02:03:13 Spotify is what Sirius XM should have done when they had that huge lead. They couldn't figure it out, those idiots. Yeah, but everything must crumble. Now they left with Howard Stern, who obviously still gets the job done. The people that say he stinks now, it's not true. Huh? What was that? Yep.
Starting point is 02:03:31 The people who say Howard Stern stinks now, that's not true. He's still getting the job done? Yep. Opie has no idea what he's talking about. This is not the time for Obie to suddenly have Howard back. Right. It's so bizarre. I guess it's when... Why now? But it's also annoying that Opie,
Starting point is 02:03:47 and you're going to hear this throughout this clip, Opie talks about all this stuff he has no knowledge of, which makes him a bad broadcaster. Making shit up as not good content. And also his inability to hear any criticism or a different opinion and receive it makes it really bad. Just being blatantly wrong about stuff for anyone who's in the know is not helpful. Compared to his heyday,
Starting point is 02:04:08 there's definitely a drop off. And then when you get past Howard Stern, at Sirius XM. It's a bunch of garbage, except for Ron Bennington, who's still kicking ass and he's got like, he's got severe fucking colon cancer, and he's better than every other talk show on Sirius XM. And the rest...
Starting point is 02:04:25 How's my colon cancer, Doc? Mild. Severe colon cancer. And the rest of them stink for real, because I've tried to listen. It's a wasteland of garbage. outside. You got Howard Stern. He's very good. I don't like Howard Stern. Everyone knows that. Ron Bennington,
Starting point is 02:04:45 fighting cancer and still crushing every day. And then I think you got to put mad dog in there. And then the rest of them are just pure fucking garbage. All right, Tony. I'm going. I got to go. Bye, Tony. Buy Tony P. Comedy on Instagram. Enjoy your steak, bro. I'm going to have a nice steak dinner. I'm going to go right back to bed, though, man. I set my alarm just so I could hang out with you today, Tony.
Starting point is 02:05:11 Listen, man, go back to bed, curl up next to your wife. Nice and warm. Rub up on that little hyanny. Push the ball away. Your hands too cold. Ah, hands too cold on my pity. Yeah. She calls the cops.
Starting point is 02:05:26 Yeah, you too. I'm going to point in you too. Look. Tony P is so horned up on these shows. She doesn't know what angle to take. Like, he doesn't know where to go with this. He's like, he just trashed any potential person he might ever work with just in a row. And he doesn't know if he should laugh or support it or just so he defaults to,
Starting point is 02:05:46 hey, we're all fucking. So Opie just said everything on serious XM is garbage. He got fired from that place. He could have put together a show where he rags on Sirs XM and just go around the dial and find shows that stink and explain why they suck. Eric Zane does this. He has a whole. show that he just dedicates to free beard
Starting point is 02:06:09 hot wings, making fun of those guys. He got fired from that show. And so he's bitter and now he makes fun of them back. And it's great because free beer and hot work stinks. But Opie is devoid of any knowledge on this. He just goes, I've listened to the shows. They all stink. Every single one of them. It's like, well, can you name an example? Do you know
Starting point is 02:06:27 anything that's going on? He doesn't. He just said Howard Stern's still good. So he's, he could do something. He decides to do absolutely nothing and then complain. Now, Tony P is always horny. And Adam pulled this clip. I have a feeling that there will be no invite for Tony P.
Starting point is 02:06:47 We originally thought, because Ron last year was begging to get invited out to the Hamptons when Matt from Gephars was getting invited. And Opie's like, ah, you know. It was like in Caddyshack where he was like, we have the pool. And there's a pond. Pond's probably good for you. He did that to Ron. And so Tony Pee, I thought for sure would get the invite because it seems like Opie really likes Tony Pee and wants to be his butt. and then this fucking guy.
Starting point is 02:07:10 I actually want to go on your beach. I want to go on your beach and convince my wife to have sex with me because I know that there'll be 50 perverts watching me with the binoculars. I mean, our group has dwindled over the years. This fucking Tony P. thinks he's so goddamn hot. It's just nod-stop.
Starting point is 02:07:29 Look at my nipple rings. Check out me and my wife fucking at the beach. Hope he doesn't need that. He just wants to have guests over who are getting arrested. Public indecency. Look at her right there with his tongue out. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:07:43 He thinks he's so hot. It's like 6.30 in the morning. Well, I should get to work. Yeah. Opie, hand me over. I want to fuck my wife on the beach. Well, there's a guest room. Nice size, king-sized bat in there if you want.
Starting point is 02:07:59 Here's some binoculars. Tony was also given Opie advice on what to do after his steak dinner. Yeah. Curl up next to you. That small heiney. Yeah. He's getting really horny about his wife, too. Very specific.
Starting point is 02:08:10 Yeah, and then she's going to say your hands cool, and you touch her boob. She does say that. How do you know that, Tony? If you say so. I mean, all he's thinking is, this guy's going back to bed. He's eating steak, unpaid here. All right. The next day, yesterday, Opie comes on with Ron Berman, Ron the waiter.
Starting point is 02:08:31 And you heard that Opie was working out a little bit with Tony P. He decides maybe it'll work with Ron. He dials it at a day. Let's go algae Let's go algae Let's go algae Let's go algae Are you talking about my apartment?
Starting point is 02:08:54 What are you talking about? Are you talking about my fucking pose? What do you talk about Ronnie, babe? One more time. Let's go algae. It's a sports chair. It sure is, Opie. Good stuff.
Starting point is 02:09:09 It's what everyone's talking about. The LG. Now, the Venmo plugs are early and often on this episode. So let's get right to it. What's going on with the Venmo, Ron? You make it a living? You quit your job yet? Listen, it's Venmo Ronnie Day.
Starting point is 02:09:23 Benmo Ronnie. Put your money where your mouth is bitches. You hate watchers. You're just lias. By the way. Hey, if you put the Venmo Ronnie up, we'll donate handsomely to Ron because we like the ride. By the way, do it.
Starting point is 02:09:41 I'll get a complete report for Ron later. Do it. Do it. Listen, listen, you guys fucking beg me to get this fucking Venmo QR code. I'm not tech savvy. It took me months to figure this out. Right, they got it. Show me it was worth the time.
Starting point is 02:09:57 Show me the money. Just say it, Ron. Show me the money. Oh, Ron. That's a terrible tactic for this. Yeah. To act like he put in so much work. And now we owe him money.
Starting point is 02:10:08 for his Venmo is a really shitty way to go about this. It is. And it's going to continue like this for the majority of this episode, which really leaves me with this question, is Opie doing this intentionally. Because he is going to not mention his Venmo without berating the audience, making loud. It's almost like he's creating bad associations with Ron's Venmo. It's stuffed in the corner. It's hard to look at. Everything about it is just bad.
Starting point is 02:10:37 and he will not stop berating us for donating and not donating. Right. And yeah, you even had to work the word haters in there, the hate watchers. This is Eric Cartman at another kid's birthday party. Right. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 02:10:53 Yeah, it does seem like Opie's threatened by this Venmo. Can I go back to PayPal Ope? Oh, PayPal Ope is down scrolling, by the way. That's my actual link to PayPal me. And I give out, I give out thank you notes, handwritten, thank you, If I ever get a Venmo, I'll say thank you.
Starting point is 02:11:12 I haven't had the opportunity. No one's sending me anything. Oh, these money bags. All we need is Venmo Ronnie up there, and we're going to donate a lot of money. Are you? Are you? Because I know how much Ron brought in and you're a bunch of lias. I don't do.
Starting point is 02:11:27 You're lying through your teeth. You're lying. I had the theme song, moving on up. To the side. I finally have a piece of the power But no, I have to stay in my fucking basement and fucking Astoria I noticed the QR code is fucked up again Yeah, it's like cut off
Starting point is 02:11:51 This is insanity What Opie is doing right here And Ron is just handling this so poorly Going along with what Opie's doing He's working him up, he's doing this intentionally I think to make Ron unlikeable he knows what he's doing or it's reverse psychology and he's trying to piss this off so we'll donate I don't know I don't know either but Ron just said he hasn't received any money which is not true
Starting point is 02:12:19 no and I don't know if Ron doesn't know how to check his memo or there's something else going on or this was Opie's idea to put him up to this like it's like you're not making any money that way it'll get people to donate more because there's a great question that comes in through the chat and it's one that we brought up on WTP. Yeah. And watch Opie purposely ignore the good point being made. Huga Fanter. Huga Fenter.
Starting point is 02:12:44 Who got Fenter? Who got Fenter? How are we supposed to scan a QR code from a video? True. Play the video on one phone and use my wife's phone to scan it. Question mark. Take this seriously, guys. Come on.
Starting point is 02:12:57 $5. Thank you, Huga. Oh, he watched my, he watched my Venmo? Come on. Venmo. Ronnie. Venmo, Ronnie, Ronnie. Venmo me. All right, I'll Venmo you. There's Ronnie's. There's Ronnie's. Oh, wait, I could even move it over to you. There's Ron Berman comedies Venmo. You guys have been screaming for months.
Starting point is 02:13:25 Ron, when's the Venmo? What? Here it is. There it is. There are a bunch of phonies. They're a bunch of phonies. They're like, if you put Venmo, Ronnie up there, we'll donate to him directly. Yeah, what did they give you $100 so far? Wow. Wow. Dude, I haven't even breaking $200. You guys were begging me. I thought I was going to be able to like...
Starting point is 02:13:47 It's up, Ron. Venmo Ronnie's up. Venmo Ronnie. So noxious. There's such children. Okay. Let's talk about this. Yes.
Starting point is 02:13:59 Did he just say he hasn't broken $100? Or do you say $200? One of those amounts. It was under two. I know he will say it again, because you mentioned somebody last week that donated $250. Sorcercercerers here. He said I sent run a bunch of money.
Starting point is 02:14:13 I thought I'd see it on here. I also have Chris Primer sent me this. You pay low, Berman, $250 for dealing with Opie. I mean, there it is right there back on June 19th. If you use the, you can scan that QR code with your phone on the computer if you're doing it. And it's insane that Opie said, you know, this is really difficult to scan when it's on, the thing and Opie said true. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:14:40 And then just, so he absolutely knows that he's shooting himself in the foot by doing that, and that's how he wants it. Right, because the guy in the chat, he said, like, we're supposed to grab my wife's phone trying to figure this thing out. And O'Bee just ignores that. It just goes, why are you guys vet knowing Ron? Is this the right address? We can scan it now.
Starting point is 02:14:55 Is this the right place we're sending it? So we did reveal on this show. It's at Ronald dash Berman dash 9, the number 9, right? Something like that. Yeah. Is that it? How would you ever figure it? that out. I only figured out
Starting point is 02:15:09 because I saw that you sent him money. I'm like, well, I'll send him to money, too. I sent him somebody. A sorcerer did. I'm sure a lot of people send him money. And the fact that he's going, I haven't made any money. Now I'm mad I send him money. Yep. I'm going to write him as a fuck you asshole. Ungrateful piece of shit. Well, are we sure it's going to the right place? I guess I can't know for sure. I'm not getting a thank you card or anything. I'll also
Starting point is 02:15:36 put it in a friend request. Because if you scan the one that's up there, it will take you to a Ronald Berman Venmo, but it says nothing on it. It won't even tell you the name Ronald Berman 9, which is so fucked up because if you go to Opie's PayPal, it's like, Opie's PayPal, I'll write you a letter after you donate $10 and all of these signifiers. His has nothing. I couldn't even cross-check if it is Ronald Berman 9 because then he said Ronald Berman
Starting point is 02:16:01 comedy and I don't know what that means. Well, Opie said that. Because Opie's purposely making this difficult for us. So yeah, I don't know. Maybe we're giving somebody to some Ronald Berman. And maybe Opie got it wrong with the QR code. And it's fucking with Ron. Maybe it's all going to Opie.
Starting point is 02:16:16 Maybe it's all going to Opie. Maybe Opie created his memo account. Motherfucker, he's the worst. At least he provides great entertainment, though. I wanted to say, not that it matters much, but my favorite Chicago song, by far, is feeling stronger every day. How's it go? Ron.
Starting point is 02:16:32 How do you not know Chicago? Can you give me a touch? Feeling stronger every day. feeling stronger every day I'll Google it that's my favorite I'll Google it
Starting point is 02:16:50 No my favorite part Now you got me into it My favorite part is I Feeling stronger Every day I You don't know music, Ron
Starting point is 02:17:05 You got no taste, Ron It's the reason why this bit is failing It's because you don't understand Who's like, what an asshole? Who would work with this guy to be a desperate, broke loser? Anyway, Clive Davis passed away. And so that becomes a topic of conversation. I'm sure Opie's going to praise him for all the amazing artists that he discovered
Starting point is 02:17:31 and brought into our pop culture. He took too high of a percentage. It's coming in like crazy. Took over 35%. I guess knows a bit about the business. You know, is it a lot? Fuck, yeah, dude.
Starting point is 02:17:46 Why, what's the standard? Look, if you're Bruce Springsteen and he's taking 35%, you're like, whatever. But if you're some of these lower level guys that are really trying to make it, and he's taking 35 fucking percent, that's a big nut.
Starting point is 02:17:58 So what would be normal? What would be a normal number? I don't know. I'm not in the business. I don't know. I don't want to come up with a percentage, but the fact is he was a guy that could have changed things that chose not to.
Starting point is 02:18:11 So I hope he's complaining. He just doesn't know what he's complaining about. No idea. Yeah, of course. Citing Bruce Springsteen there is really stupid. He's like, I mean, if Bruce Spreezy's losing 35% of his income, no one's going to care. No, that's actually a lot more money.
Starting point is 02:18:24 Right. That's when it matters the most. That's what it matters for the most. Those are the big contracts right there. People's lives are on the line. Their careers. They work for years on this shit. It's fucking crazy.
Starting point is 02:18:34 I hope he doesn't understand how this works at all. And you would think he would. He's had managers and agents. He's worked in show business. is you think you don't understand what a percentage should be. He's had managers and agents. He knows what the percentages are. He just can't work with anybody.
Starting point is 02:18:50 He has to make them wrong and takes this big stand and then has no idea what a percentage would actually be. But Opie can admit when he is wrong. He fucked them over. Let me see. Did Clive Davis fuck over Arrowsmith? What do you got on this? All right, continue on.
Starting point is 02:19:07 We'll get the answer. here's another big one Prince Billy Joel oh oh my God ready for this it's actually the exact opposite Clive Davis
Starting point is 02:19:21 look when I'm wrong I'm wrong I'm not like Gaff the Fonz when I'm wrong I can't say the word I was oh that's hilarious I love happy days
Starting point is 02:19:33 Oh you're going old school What? You're going old school I know. I'll look at people going to get that reference. I have no problem saying I was raw. I was raw. So what's it say?
Starting point is 02:19:44 It says it's actually the exact opposite. Clyde Davis is the guy who discovered them and gave them their first mess of break. Thank you, Clark. Oops. I can't hope he. The Happy Days reference, they have to argue with themselves. So anybody that would get that reference, he was then making fun of forgetting. Right.
Starting point is 02:20:07 Yeah. All right. So, yeah, more talk about, uh, discovering all of these musical talent. You know, I, you know, I, I've discovered people, too, Rod. I'm like the Clive Davis of radio. Well, honestly, you did discover, I mean, do you feel like you've discovered some of these podcasters and comedians?
Starting point is 02:20:29 100%. Here we go. 100%. Here we go. All right. This is like Suttering John claiming that he discovered Jeff the drunk and high-pitch Eric and whoever else. Eric, the actor.
Starting point is 02:20:40 Yep, wherever else he claimed he discovered. All right, Obie, you tell us how you did it. I discovered Anthony Coomia, and that drives people nuts. But yeah, I discovered Anthony Coomia. Hold on. You said, and there's nothing wrong by saying it, you said you helped launch Bill Burr's career. Because you gave them that fucking, you gave him that platform. Okay.
Starting point is 02:21:02 So now Obie's getting uncomfortable. Yeah. He's like, well, okay, let's have what Bill Burr. Calm down, Ron. And I'm not saying that Opie didn't do a smart thing. and give Anthony his break. But Anthony and his brother were submitting song parodies to Opie on his radio show. Opie wasn't like at a comedy club one night and went,
Starting point is 02:21:22 this guy or at a concert, like, I'm going to get this guy on the show. He's got it. It's like, no, Anthony worked hard to get your attention, put together some hilarious song parodies. You played him on the show. You eventually had him in studio. You realized he was witty and funny. And he became your partner.
Starting point is 02:21:37 But this is, Opie's the kingmaker. You don't discuss. a Patrice O'Neill. You don't discover a Bill Burr, but we certainly help both those guys in the early days. Dude, you're also posted to say Ron Berman. I
Starting point is 02:21:53 discover Rob Berman. That's the difference. I discovered you. Oh, right, right. I don't know who you were. Relax. I thought you were on a dude. You were giggling so much. I was like, oh, look at this little gay couple. You couldn't write that in a movie. Yeah, that was really funny, actually.
Starting point is 02:22:09 I discovered you. No, you Didn't? I discovered you. How dare you? How dare you? The fuck you were. You couldn't do anything for me, asshole. I'm glad that Opie can say he's not the one who created Patrice O'Neill's career. That's very big of him. But no one gets credit for it, right? They just happen. They appear like an angel. There's no one who gets credit for it. All right, let's get into the news. We probably shouldn't pay attention to these obsessed losers. Do they offer any opinions? Do they offer any opinions? or is this just reporting the news?
Starting point is 02:22:43 You didn't hear opinions in there? You didn't hear opinions about the reflection pool or the horse and carriage thing? What do you hear when you tune these things in? You hate watcher? Lease is watching. Yeah, at least he's watching. But anyway, that's, you know, that's insanely tragic.
Starting point is 02:23:03 Obie wants all hate watchers. That's the way he's behaving. Aaron Immol does the same thing, where it's like, I'm going to be a total prick to everyone, and amplify it when someone says something shitty to me. It's like, oh, well, I'm going to be shitty to you too then. Why do I hate watchers? But what is it when he's watching all of these programs that he hates?
Starting point is 02:23:21 He's never seen anything he likes. All he does is watch shit or listen to shit on serious and hate it and talk about how it's garbage. Yeah, Joe Rogan. Terrible show. It's garbage. Anyone can do it. Jimmy Kimmel, anyone can do it.
Starting point is 02:23:33 I use a laptop. Mm-hmm. All right, so Opie is officially turning into Suttery John. Benmo Ronnie for that ticket. Trimbo, Raism. All right. I got more. You ready?
Starting point is 02:23:50 You ready? But these hate watchers, they're all talk, no action. You're going to get 50 bucks from them, maybe. They're like, oh, we'll donate to Ron directly. And remember, everything you give me goes, 100% goes to me. Doesn't go to the rich guy on the beach. No, I'm not, Ron. I need help to.
Starting point is 02:24:10 Please. Please, my PayPal is scrolling right there. I need help. Handwritten notes to anyone that. I can't know more. A handwritten note from the opster. You're going to used to be. Hold on. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 02:24:22 I'm going to call bullshit on that. I'm calling bullshit on that. What? There's no way you can do a handwritten note. I've seen your fucking disgusting splintered hand. There's no way you can write with that swollen splintered hand. Winters are going away. Although I picked one like an idiot.
Starting point is 02:24:37 I picked. I picked. Oh, who's the fuck, dude. That's a week. No, that was healed. That's healed. What the fuck? That's a weakness.
Starting point is 02:24:45 You're like, I thought there was a I thought there were Worcester in there. I picked. You're like Tom Hanks in Philadelphia. No. Bruce Springsteen song.
Starting point is 02:24:57 So Opie's got the hand sores going now. Uh-huh. I mean, almost exactly. Like, John's. I know. And the balls on Ron
Starting point is 02:25:06 who showed his feet at Gepard's. Oh, good point. You're gross. Yeah, you think? So, Opie just mentioned
Starting point is 02:25:14 that he's got the PayPal. needs the PayPal money coming in because he's not that rich. And the PayPal address on the bottom, I've talked about this before, is this long URL full of just random letters and numbers. There's no way you could write it down or put it in. It's such a weird thing to be scrolling. There's no link or anything like that. So this morning's episode, Opie has figured this out.
Starting point is 02:25:35 Apparently he's listening to probably the haters, I would imagine, because check this out on the start of the show. So now it's PayPal. combe. So, oh, my God. You finally figured out of a URL that you can actually go to.
Starting point is 02:25:56 And Ron is still squished in the corner and cut off on both sides. Yep. So he can't give Rod's actual Venmo address. It's just the QR code, but Opie gets the PayPal. dot me slash opi radio. What's funny about this
Starting point is 02:26:08 is that this actually leads to a different page. What? Yeah. And check. this out. I didn't know that this happened, but one of the complaints I had about this PayPal donation thing,
Starting point is 02:26:23 what the fuck? Is it gone? Hold on to say, I was just on this page. I was just on this page. He's taking Jerry Banfield's class. This is all part of it. We're going to keep sending him money until he's a millionaire. So one of my complaints I had is it wasn't like a go fund me. He said he needed $2,000.
Starting point is 02:26:43 And then like you just give him money forever. And he just takes it because you don't see if you ever hit the goal or anything like that. Well, it's interesting because on this page, PayPal, Opi's PayPal page, it shows you how many customers he had in the last year. And the answer is 20. Nope. So that's not going all that well for him. It seems like if he's only had 20 donations,
Starting point is 02:27:06 Chad's had more donations on his GoFundMe for his standup than Opie's gotten for his tooth. And Opie's been promoting it. He sure does. He promotes it nonstop. This is how the show ended yesterday morning with Ron. It's, if you give me some PayPal money, oh, my God, I'll be very happy. But hold on, Ron, hold on. But if you download these episodes and listen to them, they don't cost you nothing,
Starting point is 02:27:31 and it really helps us out. Okay? Good. Here's a little trick to learn while you're downloading. Right. You do Benmo Ronnie. It's two birds with one stone. You already said that, Ron.
Starting point is 02:27:42 I know. I let him kills it. Yep. Ron, give out your fucking Venmo address. Now we're questioning whether we have it right or not. People are giving you money and you claim you're not getting any money. So you've got to tell us what the Venmo address is. I think Obie's holding him hostage.
Starting point is 02:28:00 He says in that episode there's a moment where he's like, I can't check the internet. I'm on my phone right now. Yes. So he is using Streamyard on his phone. So we can't check Venmo while that's happening. So I think he's getting it all from Opie and he's either lying to him or we're sending to the wrong address. dress.
Starting point is 02:28:16 You know who can get to the bottom of this is Kevin Brennan, and he won't touch it, so we're fucked. God damn it. The one time we needed KB. I know. So this morning's episode, Opie starts watching a clip of Jim Norton. And Jim Norton put out this little promo piece promoting a podcast episode he has coming up with the guest that he has on there.
Starting point is 02:28:34 And Opie attempts to do what we do here and Jock Tover, this video clip that he saw. Remember, he said he's the best of this. That's very unpleasant. It's okay. It's okay. Oh, God damn it. I don't know what to do. I panic. Jim Norton can't save you featuring Chief Tappy Tappy is out now.
Starting point is 02:28:59 Oh, ow. It is out now. That's hilarious. That's groundbreaking podcast stuff right there. What the fuck was that? Are you jealous? Are you jealous that Jim Norn's hilarious? and has 10 times the audience in us.
Starting point is 02:29:16 That's why he has 10 times the audience. That's only 10 times? Sure about that? hilarious. It's crazy that that video has more, more, more viewers than us. Don't ever, don't ever say I suck when there's shit like that out there. Shut your mouths. Which is it?
Starting point is 02:29:38 Yeah, so Opie, the only thing you say is that's hilarious sarcastically. He's got no analysis or insider reason. why that wasn't good. And then Opie's response to it, rather than make fun of it, is I'm definitely as good as that. Which is the wrong way to go when you do a horrible show with Tony and Ron every morning. Unfortunately, looking at the birthplace of John Hancock and shooting the tombstone and then walking away is not as funny as that. Isn't that crazy? It's just a promo for the podcast.
Starting point is 02:30:12 It's not meant to be the funniest content Jim Norton's ever put out. But apparently were the assholes for hate watching. Right. Yeah. Isn't that funny? Mm-hmm. We have to talk about Doom clipped this. And I also saw it.
Starting point is 02:30:27 Well, Bubble Popper clipped it as well in the Steeltoe subreddit. And Steeltoe was having a bad day. Please. Please, please, guys. Stream Labs. PayPal. Super chats, rumble rants, Fedmo, maybe, you know what,
Starting point is 02:30:47 maybe we don't deserve it. Doom called this, my new favorite Aaron Hylmeltdown over missing the goal, holy moly. Have you seen this head? I see you down to your head. It's amazing.
Starting point is 02:30:56 It is amazing. Yeah, so let's see how this plays out. That shit. Landers says, Aaron, if you tucked and dance, you would hit the goal much faster. No, no, no, no, no. We're going to lose yesterday.
Starting point is 02:31:08 I did enough begging yesterday. Today I'm going to come. I'm going to play the music. I'm going to take it like a, like a man. We have a loss every week. And I'm just going to, I don't have the fight in me today. That's why I think the audience is going to come up big. 170 is the number, 39 memberships from 600.
Starting point is 02:31:26 So he's looking for some pity donos right there. You guys are going to take pity on me, right? Take a loss every week. This is a guy when we were covering him just, gosh, five months ago, six months ago. It was always a perfect week. that 56 perfect weeks in a row. He just couldn't lose. And I was just missing the goal all over the place.
Starting point is 02:31:47 Like, ah, whatever. What are you going to do? Los Federale says my video, fucking send the link again. Fuck, it's not going to be any good. You sent me like a buck for it. Sorry I didn't stop the whole fucking show for you. Now, see, now you're going to put me in a bad mood
Starting point is 02:32:03 because that's like the 15th time you said that. It ain't Rumble Link Friday. I don't have to play the fucking thing if I don't want to. Thank you, Los Federales. generosity you gave me is ruined by you just being a fucking dick about it. See, I was in a good mood. I'm taking the 170 loss in stride. And now he's being a fucking dick.
Starting point is 02:32:22 Oh, I don't think this is about Los Federales asking for him to play a video clip that he said. And $170 off the goal is what's pissing him off, it sounds like. So Los Federallis is a guy who's constantly giving Aaron money and a supporter of the show. Also giving him content because that's what he's trying to do right now. I'll give him a dollar to give him a video to play. And Aaron is having a really bad day, very stressed out, and just losing his mind over one of his biggest supporters. You could just hear him right there arguing with his wife and what that's like.
Starting point is 02:32:53 He's like, I don't have an anger problem. My anger was in check until you said something that made me angry and fucked it all up. Yes. You ruined this for me. Wow. Smile. Smile. Mad Move says, like your hair, except the loss.
Starting point is 02:33:10 Yeah, the evening show audience. like kicks the fucking dog dick out of the morning. Like they make way more per hour. So like, this is this new thing. I love what he's like pitting the two audiences against each other. Yeah. Totally different people.
Starting point is 02:33:22 Why can't you be more like them? Right. So he asks for less money in the evening. He has way fewer viewers. So now he's created this new metric that's like dollars per hour or something like that he just said. Impressions. Right. And that kicks the dog dick.
Starting point is 02:33:38 I can't follow everything. He's saying it's a lot. I just assume the morning show crowd is just going to, we're going to take an L once a week. Like they just need a reset day, whatever. But I think we're going to knock it out. Aaron thinks that these people who are donating to them is like a single entity. All right. I get it.
Starting point is 02:33:56 You know, I've been working you really hard this week. Take Saturday off. I apologize. You've earned this one. There's just different people. It's all different people doing different things. They don't need a day off. Like the evening show has a bank, so I'm in a good mood there.
Starting point is 02:34:11 Let's go ahead and get into our other stuff today. Los Federale either put the fucking link in the chat or leave me the fuck alone about the link. Wow. Wow. His eye was doing the eye twitching there? Yep. He was going to blow a gasket. He was losing his fucking bide right there.
Starting point is 02:34:30 Today, like the evening show as a bank, so I'm in a good mood there. Let's go ahead and get into our other stuff today. Los Federale, he's either put the fucking link in the chat or leave me the fuck alone about the link. Dude. That's a serious anger problem. What his eyeballs were just doing? It's like cartoonish spinning. Wow.
Starting point is 02:34:48 All right. Done. Put the fuck. Hey, you sit there in the chat and go, yeah, play my link. Play my link. We're doing a fucking show. It moves kind of quick sometimes.
Starting point is 02:34:59 How about instead of, yeah, play my link. How about? All right, I just want to point out, this is like one of the guys who supports Aaron's show. He's a fan of the show for some reason.
Starting point is 02:35:09 And Aaron's go-to is, This guy must be retarded. I agree. He's giving you money and watches your show. We're watching this show. He's obviously retarded. Put the fucking link in there and then I can play the cock-sucking thing. You think I still have your fucking link open from whatever the fuck you wanted to interrupt the show with before?
Starting point is 02:35:28 Aren't I always fucking nice about your AI slop shit you send us? Play my link. Put the fucking link in the chat and then I can play it. Where did the link touch you? This is not about the link, I don't think. Huh. I'm just guessing. What word was he?
Starting point is 02:35:49 What's bleeped out there? I'm not sure. Maybe it's like an Fsler or something. Probably. Because they're letting all the AFSCO. Well, this is the problem with letting the supporters run the show. And Aaron does eight hours a day. A lot of days.
Starting point is 02:36:05 So it's hard to prep and put together a show. So I was just like, all right. send me links and I'll play it for you. Since I was like, I'm giving you money. Will you play my link? He's like, fuck you. So, well, you set up this problem for yourself. Idiot?
Starting point is 02:36:17 What I meant to say is, I'm in a very good mood today. And we're having a fantastic program. Los Federale says, fine, suck a dick. No, fuck you. I'm not going to fucking deal with your horseshit and your guilt trip. Fuck you. You get, I love the sensitive pussies who like say, but then I go, hey, how about you?
Starting point is 02:36:39 you cooperate a little and you throw the fucking link in the chat so I can play the thing and they get all pissy and go, you fine, one nice, yeah. Now, when Aaron recreated what just happened,
Starting point is 02:36:51 seemed like he was being very polite to this man. Yeah. I don't remember any politeness at all. How about that? He just lashed out immediately. I like the recreation of that is this guy's being unreasonable and Aaron was just being a friendly chap. Hey,
Starting point is 02:37:05 remember what I was just like, Hey, buddy. I'll play that link. He just sat pasted in one more time for me. I can grab it. We all remember that, right? That, um, giving him the finger was so visceral. The guy's like, I, well, I'll just leave that if you're not going to, fuck you.
Starting point is 02:37:22 It's like, that guy owes Aaron money. That's how he looks at this. Aaron can't control his body when he's angry. He can't control his anger and he has no idea how he comes across. And he would tell the police that version of events. I was completely calm. I said to the guy and then he just lashed out out of nowhere. So what did that guy say to you?
Starting point is 02:37:41 He said, whey! You fucking cry, bitch. Aaron's the one crying like a bitch. That's rich. It's insane. Go ahead and leave me like all the rust. So I guess you're not putting the link in the chat.
Starting point is 02:37:57 Oh my God. I mean, I'll wait. I don't have your fucking link. You keep saying, what about my link? What about Aaron? Stop the show and do everything I want to do. How about you show it to me? I mean he's a great father though
Starting point is 02:38:11 Yeah that's where my mind went I thought of Stuttering John And the kids He just like threw the dinner all over the floor Because it wasn't what he wanted And then he stared at his wife and said So I guess we're not eating Now clean it up
Starting point is 02:38:26 Yeah It's so true Oh no Yeah I got to take an L on that one guys Los Federale sent us a very good link and I really appreciate it. And I guess I got a little worked up. Kyler with $5 says,
Starting point is 02:38:44 please stop yelling, dad. I'm scared. It's okay. Dad drinks and it does lots of pills. And that's my fault. You did nothing wrong, son. But your brother's a closet homosexual and he bothers the shit out of me sometimes. Those Federale
Starting point is 02:39:01 should drop me a red boy for that. That was very honest. Now he's asking for $100. That's what a red boy is. So Los Federale's now He should be paying up Yeah, he's got the little stinker face on He's like, well, I'm in a good mood again
Starting point is 02:39:15 I just berated you, give me money He also outed his son And then followed it up with then I'm just being honest here Yeah, that was weird Has he not followed the story of stuttering John Does he know what this leads to? Yeah, that kids get resentful
Starting point is 02:39:30 It turns out Yeah, turns out I'm sorry to Los Federale So this is where he is like Oh shit at this guy who gives me money. I was just being a real prick to. I better take it all back
Starting point is 02:39:45 because I still like that money he gives me. I apologize. Did he pout and run off though? Yeah, I think he pouted and ran off. Oh, that's your money. Did he take his wallet with him? Ah! Los Federales is
Starting point is 02:40:01 he ran off. He's mad at me now. I wonder why. Is it because I yelled at him a solid 90 seconds. It's not that, is it? It was something else I did. It wasn't the constant screaming at him out of fury and anger. You can tell that he's panicking because he's missing the goal and he's chasing away people who actually give him money, which he needs for that goal. Perfect. Thank you very much, Aaron, for that gifted membership. Those are awesome. Those are
Starting point is 02:40:34 fantastic. So 155 away from a dub. And again, I just have this good. feeling. I have a good feeling about today. Don't ask me why. Did Los Federales come back? No. He didn't even, did he not even realize that we had a really awesome segment with that clip he sent in? Wow. He's like, guys, will someone tell Los Federales that I'm not mad of them anymore? I was just praising him and I thought the clip that he said. It's really cool. Will you go tell your mom that dinner was actually delicious? I really liked it and I'm sorry. I got mad. It wasn't about her. Hey, let's check and see how graduations are going. You know, some schools are just closing down now.

Let me check PayPal because I'm desperate because we're getting our fucking ass kicked so hard today. Let's check PayPal and see, hey, there's not anything. Nothing came in there. that song you told me to check it fucking dick so people are just fucking with aaron now because
Starting point is 02:41:42 they know how desperate he is to make this money and what a shitty moody goes into when he doesn't hit the goal so he did miss the goal by a lot that was yesterday morning's episode of steeltoe morning show good stuff yeah the morning audience those dead beats fucking dead beats in the morning audience are just the worst aren't they all right it's time to get into it is it is it Weird or is it gay?

Starting point is 02:42:16 Annie, good to see you. Oh, hello. Oh, hello. All right, this is the Is It Gay Game? You saw in the clips we just played, Aaron's go-to is that things are gay. And a lot of times he's describing something he doesn't like or thinks is gay, he'll call it gay. So we're going to see Aaron talking about different things on his program. We have to figure out if he's going to call it gay or not.
Starting point is 02:42:39 Megan puts this all together for us. So each round is worth one point. And then the final round is worth three points. And it's a fierce competition for bragging rights. Round one. And I will say this. I fully endorse. I am so happy.
Starting point is 02:42:59 You know, I watched Nightwave last night because there was a lot of news going around about MERS. I just wanted it not to be true. I had heard through Kevin Scampoli and Ethan Ralph that Mersh was back with Ice Queen, Dagger Pussy, whatever. Good one. It's another themed game this week. Excellent. I'm sure you can guess what it is. It's Mersh.
Starting point is 02:43:21 It's the Mersh game. Aaron is obsessed with Mersh lately. He doesn't like internet drama unless it's who Mersh is fucking for some reason. That's important. I mean, who isn't. Right. All right. Is the name, where are you going, Annie?
Starting point is 02:43:36 have your drinks ready oh she's got that that was worth it good prep is the name Brixton yay Adam
Starting point is 02:43:50 yep Carl so Brickson's her real name I say it's real name I'm gonna say no Chris gay Annie
Starting point is 02:43:59 gay All right I'm the only one going Not gay Let's go I refuse to say her shitty fucking gay Jewish name. God damn it. But I hate you all. All right.
Starting point is 02:44:15 Everyone gets a point but me on round one. Do you want to know what the scores? No. That math, I could do it by hand. All right, round two. Well, to quote Tommy Lee Jones and the classic Cobb, the man you should be mad at is Al Stump. I tried to help.
Starting point is 02:44:36 everybody you say as a pal ends up either fucking your girl trying to fuck your girl or shoving a shiv up your asshole i try to have a little fun and make you a bishop in the toeboys i'm the fucking asshole this is affected my life it's affected internet circles are internet circles gay annie not gay chris gay gay Internet circles are gay. Adam. Not gay. All right.
Starting point is 02:45:16 You know what I mean? To some extent. Internet circles are gay. Go to Catholic Church. The Internet won't matter. Go to Catholic Church. The Internet won't matter, he just said. I don't even know what this show is anywhere.
Starting point is 02:45:27 What fuck is this for? It's so stupid. Or go to jail. But the fact that he's covering Merce's relationship with Ice Dancer and Kevin Scampoli and Ethan Ralph, and he's like, You know, these people who hang out on the internet all day, they're so gay.
Starting point is 02:45:41 He's not as an high horse. What do you think the show is now? It's clearly for Catholics because that's what they love. All right. Round three. This was Mersh last night. He was in his element. I also didn't know he wears a hat a lot.
Starting point is 02:45:54 I didn't know that as tragic as mine is, I have a better hairline than Mersh. Because mine comes forward and fucks up on the sides. Mersh is just back, back, back, back, back, gone, as Chris Berman would say. And Mersh was very sad about Ice Dancer last night. So let's go to some of this. It's a very long clip. It's from, is this Stalin? Yes, this is Stalin 19.
Starting point is 02:46:19 Good boy. Good boy, Stalin 19. I'm hoping to get clipped today. Is Mersh gay from the Ice Dancer breakup? Adam. Not according to Aaron. Here. Carl.
Starting point is 02:46:33 Not gay. Chris. It's time for a not gay. Annie Not Kay All right Let's find out This is
Starting point is 02:46:45 Mersh talking about Poor Ice Dance They're not No he's poor Mersh She's fagety ice dancer This is him talking about the breakup Okay I'm sorry The Efsler threw me off for a second
Starting point is 02:46:56 Is that it? Is that a yes or not It's a not gay Not gay Poor Mersh Is the answer You could have used the word cock But I guess he avoids that one
Starting point is 02:47:04 All right Round four Not all the time, but That's true. Which, you know, can we be honest, Mersh is handling this pretty well. That's not a joke.
Starting point is 02:47:18 That's not me fucking around. I think Mersh has handled this with a plum, if you will. You know, some of us go online and we share all the secrets. Some of us go online and we go, ah, her cut stinks. You know, and some people just go out
Starting point is 02:47:35 drinking like a man, out of boy. Out of breath. Some of us did all three. Is it gay to go online and share secrets? Complain about your partner's private smells and go out drinking post breakup. Annie. Is it gay to complain about it?
Starting point is 02:48:00 Yeah. We're talking about all three. All three. Yep. Chris. Yeah. Carl. I'm going to say it's not gay,
Starting point is 02:48:11 because he just admitted he did all three of those things after April left him. So I'm going not gay. Adam. I'm going not gay. All right. Let's go. I call that the trifecta. Hit like, hit share, hit follow.
Starting point is 02:48:26 Wow. I mean, he's so close to having self-awareness. You know, as he's going through his rant, and then he realizes, like, oh, I did all those things. I'm kind of a piece of shit over here. And he's like, that's good, right? Sure. Okay. Why not?
Starting point is 02:48:41 Round five. It's Catholic now, so it's all cool. Right. Went for the toe. All right. Round five. Worth one point. Fair.
Starting point is 02:48:49 I like Mersh. I'm rooting for Mersh, so I'm not going to be too difficult on him. But he's going through something, and he's insisting on going through it very publicly. And if that's what he's going to, if that's what he chooses to do, that's fine. But I thought the way he was handling it was great. I think you can't let Ethan and Scampoli get to you like this, where you feel like it's, you know, making you second guess everything. And now he hears that pot awful is going to do a big reveal on Friday.
Starting point is 02:49:17 You know, look, as a guy who's had reveals of mostly shit that's not true, but sometimes embarrassing shit, it goes away so quickly. A 24 to 48 hours, it's done. These people consume content and dispose of it so quickly. It's mildly embarrassing to people you'll never meet and who you don't give a shit about. and eventually you get to use it as your own content because it's silly, funny, goofy shit. Wow, did the hymn slurpe have come off of Nicricata?
Starting point is 02:49:50 Did that go away in 48 hours? I can't remember how quickly that went away. Did the judge in that revenge point case refer to it as funny, goofy, silly shit? I don't recall that. I don't remember that either. Sorry, Megan, take it away. Was that where I paused it? It is.
Starting point is 02:50:05 Okay. Is it gay to believe the mostly not true? true reveal that Aaron ate another man's come. Oh, okay. So that is where he's his heads at. It always is. It always is. Adam?
Starting point is 02:50:21 Yeah, that's gay. Carl. He's going to call us gay for thinking that. Chris. Totally gay. Annie? Uh, gay. He's going to say gay and the irony is not lost on me.
Starting point is 02:50:33 Let's say. Like, people go, oh, you ain't come. And it's like, you're gay if you think that. But that's amazing. You also gave you did that. I know, this guy's slurping up jizz. He's just like, oh, look at these gay guys watching me. He's just on this person.
Starting point is 02:50:49 I'll do it again. I'll show you. He's never once taken this advice. He's never not responded or dive right in. Yeah, it's amazing. He knows how everyone should live their lives, and yet his life couldn't be more miserable. All right.
Starting point is 02:51:04 We have a final round worth three points. What are the scores right now, producer Chris? You and Adam and me have a three-way tie, and Annie is trailing by one. All right. It's anyone's game. This is a little bit different in the final round. It's not just, is it gay? Meg is going to give us multiple choice to try to figure out where Aaron's going with this.
Starting point is 02:51:23 You're good. Guys, you're not 22 in trying to find baddies anymore, all right? You're looking for a fat couple as you sit in the pool that'll talk football with you. That's what you're looking for. When I was in Clearwater Beach, SP and I would go down to the pool. and there was this fat fireman from New Jersey and he would talk about the Jets and I would talk about the Vikings
Starting point is 02:51:42 and I sat in the pool for hours drinking faggy drinks and talking to this guy about football for fuck's sake I mean don't get any wrong SP and I went all over town we had fun it's not like I sat in the pool all fucking week but it's like that's the kind of socializing you do it's not like oh I'm gonna
Starting point is 02:51:58 fucking take a bunch of shots and talk to 20 year old bitches Aaron is all up on Mercia's upcoming C-K on the Margaritaville at Sea Cruise. When you reach a certain age, what should you be talking about with your fellow old seagowers
Starting point is 02:52:15 instead of taking shots with 20-year-old baddies? One, your ex-wives. Two, investment portfolios. Or three, your ailments. Adam. Okay. Oof. Those are a good choice. That's tough.
Starting point is 02:52:34 Yeah, I'm going to go with ailments. Carl. I was going to say elements, but I want to win this game. I don't want to tie. So I'm going to say X-wives. Chris? Well, shit. I'll go with the other one, the investment thing.
Starting point is 02:52:49 Yeah. Annie. X-wives. All right. Let's find out. No, we're going to talk to this guy about his fucking investment portfolio while he eats a shitty Margaritaville, well-done burger. You didn't even want that answer.
Starting point is 02:53:03 You're winning because of that. You guys. Forced my hand. Yeah. You won because we're dumb. Congratulations. Well, I don't think that's why, but congratulations. I'm the victory producer, Chris.
Starting point is 02:53:17 Very happy for you. You have a camper on for the game today. I haven't listened to this yet, but you sent this over to me. Yeah. This is all Megan. I just threw it together. Okay. Megan, any set up for this?
Starting point is 02:53:31 I was in, you know, I watch a lot of Aaron. and I was inspired by, what was it called, Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy. So I had Chris help me make something Aaron related, similar to that. Gay thoughts by Aaron M. Hope, who's totally not gay. If you gay rape someone in jail within a six-day sentence, you're just a gay guy. That's not like, oh, I did it because I needed to, you know, I needed release. like, no, you just wanted to fuck that guy in the butt. And then you have to argue with the person.
Starting point is 02:54:10 Be like, oh, no, but it was just for the dominance. It wasn't gay. Gay thoughts about heroin. I like this. This could be a series. I like this. Like we were heads at back in. That was beautiful.
Starting point is 02:54:22 Well done, you guys. I have many more thoughts in my head of fun, fun things like that. So if you like it, I can provide more. It was calming and frightening all the same time. That's a winner. That is a winner. All right, Chris has a hardout in about 14 minutes, so I think we can definitely get through another game, right?
Starting point is 02:54:42 Let's do it. That's just when the football game starts. That's crazy. That's the exact same time of the Koreaverse. Is that what's happening? Okay. The Opie or Burr game, this is the 26 edition from Simon. Well, nice to see you again.
Starting point is 02:54:56 And you. I'm your host, Simon, from the worst ever podcast. And it's time to get your desk and shoes on for Opie or Burr. Round one. I hate when people say, oh, I'm an entry. No, you're not. Can you go days without talking to a fucking soul? Time to register those votes.

Starting point is 02:55:28 All burrs. Let's go. And here's the answer. I hate people that say, I'm an introvert. No, you're not. Can you go days without talking to his fucking soul? Jokes on my family. I like being alone. Wow. We all got that one wrong. Well done, Simon.
Starting point is 02:55:46 I didn't think he would ever admit that. Yeah, this game's tough. This game is tough. All right, moving on. Get that hungry man out of the microwave because it's time for round two. But for a while now, whatever you believe in, I believe in aliens. I believe in this thing, you know, the James Webb television. telescope, don't worry. I'll, I bring it all around.
Starting point is 02:56:08 I bring it all around. I'm a professional. I get to everything. But, uh, the James Webb telescope is downright horrifying. Can we turn that thing off? Time to register those votes. Producer Chris, what he got? Bhr. Megan, what do you got?
Starting point is 02:56:28 Hmm. I'll just go Opie. I am also on the opster on this one, Annie. Billber. Adam. Gilbert. All right. There's two of us taking the Opie. And here's the answer.
Starting point is 02:56:45 But for a while now, whatever you believe in. I believe in aliens. I believe in this thing. You know, the James Webb Telescope, don't worry. I bring it all around. I bring it all around. I'm a professional. I'll get to everything.
Starting point is 02:56:58 But the James Webb Telescope is downright horrifying. Can we turn that thing off? Wow, he brought together aliens and space. Opie's family left in, Bill hates his wife. Simon. Brought together aliens and space. Opie's family left in, Bill hates his wife, and now let's tie it all together in round three.
Starting point is 02:57:24 Um, yeah, I went a little Will Smith. You know, I bite off more than I can chew, and then I chew it. Oh my God. Time to register those votes. We should make time we do this live with us. Oh, yeah, definitely. Yes. It's very funny.
Starting point is 02:57:53 I'm going to go Billy Burr. What do you think, Annie? I think it's Burr again. Megan? Burr. Adam. Per. Producer Chris.
Starting point is 02:58:03 we're due for a burr. All right, we're all burring. And here's the answer. Yeah, I want a little Will Smith. You know, I bite off more than I can chew, and then I chew it. Jesus Christ. Oh, my God. I think Will Smith beat off more than he could chew.
Starting point is 02:58:36 It's time to emancipate. round four. See that? I'm a good guy. Everybody else is an idiot. In my world, I'm the smartest person in the room. Time to register those votes.
Starting point is 02:58:51 Carmic. Megan, what do you got for this one? Opie. Producer Chris? Bur. I'm going to Bill Burr. Ed. What do you got? Burr. Annie.

Starting point is 02:59:28 Carl, you are leading with three. Holy shit. And then there's the rest of us. I love it. Let's go. It's my game to lose. Let's go. Your kids on your side before they testify in round five.
Starting point is 02:59:40 For people that think they have like life figured out and human nature figured out and why were all that garbage, right? Just look at a stupid clam. No, it doesn't make sense on any level. That and jellyfish. It doesn't make sense. Where's its brain? Where's its mouth? The clam is as creepy as all hell.
Starting point is 03:00:07 Time to register those votes. I am taking Opie. What do you think, Annie? Opie. Adam? Bill Bur. Megan. Mr. Chris. Opie.
Starting point is 03:00:25 Yeah, Opie's at the beach. You know, he's thinking about these things. That's my thought, but let's find out. And here's the answer. For people that think they have, like, life figured out and human nature figured out and why we're all that garbage, right? Just look at a stupid clam. It doesn't make sense on any level. That and jellyfish.
Starting point is 03:00:49 Why do they say human nature figured out? What does that have to do with the side of a clamor? Two clams have eyebrows. He's so stupid. People don't think they understand why we're here. Nobody thinks that. It doesn't. makes sense. Where is its brain? Where is its mouth? The clam is
Starting point is 03:01:07 as creepy as all hell. The clam is all mouth. Hey, you guys want to know why fish don't have eyebrows? Let's shoot it over to producer Chris. Who won this week, Chris? That'd be Carl. Yes. No, okay, that's great. But the real winners are wonderful studio audience. Stay in your seats because we have 19 more episodes to record. Thanks for joining us here at Opier Burr. I'm your host, Simon. Bye.
Starting point is 03:01:36 As you guys know, I'm a huge fan of Match Game, and that's the music that he uses in this game. And something I learned about Match Game more recently, than I care to admit, is that they always recorded that show on the weekends. They would do all day, Saturday and all day Sunday. And what's great is that the celebrities on that game, we get drunker and drunker because there was open bar there.
Starting point is 03:01:57 And so you always knew it was a Saturday night or a Sunday night when they'd start getting up and making out with the contestants. doing rails off. Just a little bit of that going on. So 70s were a different time. Let serial killers play. Some days were a different time, guys. It was all fun.
Starting point is 03:02:16 That's exciting. Whenever you finally do your game show podcast, you can also do game show trivia on the podcast. Yeah, Andy, that was riveting content, wasn't it? I liked it. Oh, thank you. Mary Claire's second chair. You guys suck.
Starting point is 03:02:29 Here's 10 bucks. Thank you very much. Mary Claire's second chair. Now I've got to write you a letter. I just need your address, your home address. Good news, 99, so we don't have to... Oh, okay. Didn't make the cut for that.
Starting point is 03:02:43 Anything that you guys are promoting before I let Chris get out of here. Anything you're promoting, my friend? Me getting out of here. Good for you. WTP on Saturday. If you are on our YouTube channel or on Patreon, you can watch that. When we do it or any time thereafter, Christian Blyde will be here. We'll be talking about.
Starting point is 03:03:03 Freddie Fletcher versus Mike Kelta. Yes. That'll be an interesting series to go through. Adam, what do you got going on? For those of you who want to know what a real Tonight Show writer is like, there's a man named Wayne Federman, who has a new book out called The History of Stand Up, from Mark Twain to Dave Chappelle. It is an amazing book.
Starting point is 03:03:20 He's an amazing writer and comedian and director of comedy specials. I recommend everybody go out and get Wayne Federman's new book. Wow. I wonder if Boyd Mike knows about that. Seems like it'd be right up his alley. Excellent. Annie, what's going on? Well, since Megan and Chris did such a good job with the gay thoughts with Aaron, it reminded me of sage wisdom with stealth chaos, a Sam Bibli bit.
Starting point is 03:03:42 So go over to Sam Bilby's channel and check him out. He's a dabbled versus clipper and a aggressive chatter. Excellent. We will check that out. Look at you. You're so generous with your plugs. Annie, we appreciate that. Good job, boss.
Starting point is 03:03:56 Do we have any new Spotify comments that piqued your interest, Megan? Yes, I do. I have two from episode 736. Patrick Martin says, damn, three to two on opi or burr, my lowest score ever. You should do broadcasting in the past episodes where you go back to clips from ONA
Starting point is 03:04:17 that show how Opie has always been awful at this. First off, acting like they're being humble, that was actually a brag, you know, obviously. Oh, geez, I only got three right. That's a good idea. We did do one on our Patreon. of revisiting Opie's first ever podcast. And that was fascinating.
Starting point is 03:04:36 I like going back with the lens of 2026 and seeing where people came from and what was happening. So that's actually a very good idea to go back to some old ONA. Yeah. And then I have another one. Backdoor Benji says, Great Appearance by the Coxman. Yes. James Cox joined the show from Mary Old England,
Starting point is 03:04:56 leave the kids say. I have two also from episode seven. 37. Jay Diggity says, I wish I didn't enjoy the lul cow content so much because I genuinely hate Carl, arrogant jackoff chuckle fuck. Right. Was he reading my LinkedIn profile or something? My job title. It is.
Starting point is 03:05:21 Matt Dunleavy said, can Stuccio please come back and do something? I think everyone is tired of skipping through the Banfield stuff. There's nothing interesting there at all. I disagree with that, but I just love it. It feels awesome. I'm loving Jerry Banfield. He's just mentally ill enough. He's got such a good energy.
Starting point is 03:05:42 Yeah, but he's mentally ill, but he's not like necessarily how I was going to say not ruining people's lives, but then we just learned today. He does ruin people's lies. All right, never mind. I'm bringing back Boy Tinsley. Fuck it. Yes, let's go.
Starting point is 03:05:53 He needs to do live streams. He does. Yes, he does. And then Adam can just be in the chat. trolling him the whole time. Oh, Opie muted me because I asked for Tony P's PayPal. And now I can't write in the chat or send him anything. So please everybody, get Opie to unmute me or unblock me, whatever he did to me.
Starting point is 03:06:15 Wow. Yeah, yeah, free Adam Bush. Thank you. Free Bush. I'm in. Annie, any new comments coming in? We have one new review over on Apple Podcast. Reviews I should have said.
Starting point is 03:06:29 Thank you. Yes. Yes, and it comes in from the entire alphabet saying, Hater. This guy is a huge hater with the most conservative ignorant opinions. That sounds like a one-star review. I didn't think you were conservative, but it is one-star. Yeah, all right.
Starting point is 03:06:46 Very good. Well, thank you for leaving reviews. Sometimes, Annie, reminds you, if you've left us a review on Apple Podcasts or anywhere else before, you can go back and revise it, update it, if you want. That helps the algorithm. them and then, yeah, give us five stars. Shit all over us. That's what we appreciate over here.
Starting point is 03:07:04 All right, we have some voicemails. Of course, Gary and San Diego sponsors the voicemail segment. Well, I guess it's more of a tribute. It's a bunch of crap. Swing in a mix. Rock and roll. People are very kind to me, and I appreciate that. Slow down, Carl.
Starting point is 03:07:20 You're ahead of the beat. You dumb fuck. Fuck you. You know, I had to go and admit the thing that bothers me the most. and turns out people are using that against me now. We're weaponizing it. We'll figure. I don't know if I'm in the minority, but I don't even miss John.
Starting point is 03:07:35 Like, Artie's our man now. Long live, the Artie Army, man. Yes, the Artie Army will reign supreme. Hey, Carl. Kudos to you for having the best open mic in the Dabbleverse. A couple things I want to work on. What's to deal with airline food? You're in a miracle of modern aviation,
Starting point is 03:07:55 and they're passing out cookies to the passengers, like treats to a train to seal. I think I'd rather be a train to seal at SeaWorld. At least they get the fish. Thank you. What else is going on? How come when I get my laundry back? It's always missing a sock?
Starting point is 03:08:12 Is it being garnished? Some sort of sock tax? Is the mob taking their cut? Hey, a couple socks fell off a truck. Forget about it. No, I think my missing socks wound up in some sort of sock trafficking ring. Right now, my...
Starting point is 03:08:27 My socks are either cleaning some rich lady's floor in Brentwood or the sex puppet of a Texas oil man. You've been great. Give yourselves a round of applause. All right. So I don't think I'm going to start to kill Carl anytime soon. I don't think that's the show format for us. But thank you for your submission. Hey, Carl.
Starting point is 03:08:45 So I'm a truck driver. Mm-hmm. And I just want to know if I see a very nice, freshly manicured, set of feet, driving past me on the highway, resting on the dashboard. What am I supposed to do? Committed to memory? No. No.
Starting point is 03:09:07 I'm yanking it right there. No doubt about it. Every single time. All right, so that's a truck driver who's jerking off on the job. My question is, and I guess I'll have to ask Adam on this one, where do you finish when you're jerking off in your car or truck? Oh, you stop at a gas station and you get a squeegee. Ah, the squeaky pet. And you, let me show you.
Starting point is 03:09:32 As a visual demonstration, I think you might like. The answer is the ashtray. They stop putting those in cars, so it's very messy in my car. You can have a cup, too. It's a good idea. Well, Megan does have experience with us. Good to know. Hey, Carl, first time, long time.
Starting point is 03:09:50 Producer Chris, do you know what Carl's favorite food is? Shits and feces. Shits and feces. I think he means feces, but yes, that's a good bit. I like it. Hey, boys, Callan from Wald Lake again. A couple things real fast. A couple shows back.
Starting point is 03:10:09 I've kind of just been laughing about this since. You're reading Artie Fletcher's accomplishments or whatever. You know, you got Law and Order, all of them. I'm pretty sure he's been on all of them. And then FM Station. I was drinking a beer, and I literally spit it out like a movie. Anyway, that was really exciting me. Also, I'm beyond excited about the live show coming up in October.
Starting point is 03:10:34 I have been listening since Drew first found you. Nice. And I've not been able to make to any of the show. So I'm very happy to finally be able to make to this one. Talk my beautiful wife into coming with me. Nice. That's a plus. And I was wondering and hoping if you guys are doing VIP too,
Starting point is 03:10:51 because I'd really love to meet you guys. Say hi and say my thanks. for all the great content over the year. But anyway, love you guys. We'll talk you. Yes, October 2nd, Rock and Brews and Royal Oak will be the live show and still working to get tickets put up. There will be a VIP.
Starting point is 03:11:09 Meet and greet with a, you get a poster and hang out with all of us before the show. So Adam is in for that. And we'll have the Dave Landau's in. I know that. So we'll have the total head count for you to promote as well as tickets available soon. watch for that. We've sold out the last four years in Detroit. So I have no reason to believe we won't sell out again.
Starting point is 03:11:33 And I love going to Detroit. It's always a great time. Looking forward to it. Ronnie and Syracuse caught it. You call Ronnie and Syracuse. Love you, love the show. I just want to say a big FU to Jody V. By the way, who knew that Missy V had a brother all this time?
Starting point is 03:11:48 But Jemiah, I think that's the name. Not since you've had theater kids. Have I felt a sense of rage? Or I wanted to break something. and do I turn off the podcast immediately. Oh, my God, I can't stand that thing. And on top of that, that laugh, which is so enraging, is really similar to the laugh that Opie gives off a lot of the time.
Starting point is 03:12:10 Check it out. Don't call me back. Yeah, Giamma, if you didn't listen to the most recent episode, is a queer, Christian, black, something or other. Non-binary that's married to Jesus. Yeah, she's dating. Jesus or they're married. I can't remember where they're at in their relationship.
Starting point is 03:12:30 And she had to be a little bit cuckoo, it turns out. You know, Carl, in the 80s, there was a certain type of a guy that would get colds that wouldn't go away. So you might want to go get checked out. Yeah, I know. And call me back and let me know the results. I think he's implied that I have AIDS. Oh. I think that's what he's implied, which could be true.
Starting point is 03:12:55 Oh, I'm sorry, man. Thanks, buddy. It's probably from eating all that poop. Can you get AIDS that way? That's how you get it. The doctor Steve gave you wrong information, then. God, that's in a Bruce Springsteen song. It is.
Starting point is 03:13:05 Okay, fair enough. Johnny Crutches has the voice of a nerdy cartoon duck. Don't call me back. I won't. Nothing to talk about. But thank you for your call. Anyways, guys, really get out of here. We've been done a long show today.
Starting point is 03:13:21 We're just grifters, grifting away these beggathons that we do. We've got to close it up. I got to go. Bye. I gotta go. I gotta go. I gotta go. I gotta go.
Starting point is 03:13:32 That was a great episode. That was really great. This is it. It's over. Okay? Goodbye. Goodbye. Hey, goodbye.
Starting point is 03:13:44 All right, everybody. You know, this was a great podcast. It was very revealing. Go fuck yourselves. Have a good week. Ah, Carl. I love you. Okay, bye.
Starting point is 03:14:00 Fucking thing suck. Were someone else taking a drop over there? That was me, sorry. Oh, that was great. Normally producer Chris does that. So you were filling in for him, but I, I was on top of it for once.
Starting point is 03:14:14 All right. Thanks, everyone. Bye. Bye.
