Who are these podcasts?
W-A-G-P. Who are these podcasts? WATP!
Hey!
Welcome to WATP!
I'm Carl.
I'm here with my friends Lucy, Chris, Andy, Tab, and Jen,
who were all hanging out together in Boston this past weekend.
I thought we'd come on and chat about it.
Welcome everybody.
Why, thanks.
Thanks for being here. I
Appreciate you guys showing up for a little recap
So we can discuss what we witnessed what the people witnessed what we learned what we learned from it
One of the first things that I learned is they should never take a red eye anywhere. Yeah, poor dick
learned is that you should never take a red eye anywhere. Yeah.
Poor Dick.
He slept most of the weekend.
Well, he also has a serious issue with this tinnitus.
He has just nonstop crushing pain.
And I didn't realize it was as bad as it is.
I know it was really, really terrible and crippling,
and he's kind of getting through it a little bit.
But even when we were setting up on stage,
and he wasn't there for the sound check,
but then when he came up, he's like,
wanted to sit as far away from the monitor speaker
as possible.
Which makes sense, it was shrill at first,
but then he turned that down.
Just any sound, though.
Just crushes his brain.
Carl, I know you tried to kill me at Cisco, but.
Well, yeah, any sound crushes his brain. He's like, Carl, I know you tried to kill me at Cisco, but. Well, yeah, any sound crushes his brain,
and it's a whole weekend of people screaming in your face.
Yes.
Yeah, it's the perfect thing.
So it's kind of rough.
Anyway, I have taken a red eye once from Vegas,
and I'll never do it again.
It'll ruin your week.
I took a red eye home from hackamania and it was awful.
Yeah.
Yeah, like your body can't recover from,
I mean, me specifically, I don't sleep on planes.
I can't sleep sitting up.
So for me, if you could sleep through it and be good,
then yeah, that's awesome.
Then you're time traveling.
Then that's a good deal.
But that was basically my trip home.
I left Boston at four o'clock yesterday and got to DC,
and then I sat in the DC airport for four hours
before they canceled my flight at like 10 o'clock
and then put us in a hotel.
But my flight out of DC this morning was at 5 a.m.,
so I got like four hours in the hotel,
and I don't think I slept any of those hours.
And then back at the airport and nonstop flights, so I got home at like 9 a.m. this morning and got
in bed and I kind of just want to go back there which airline you take
American fuck American I knew he was gonna say American American we took
American because it was a direct flight what did tab say next I did not want to
take American they fucked me over so bad in the past.
I avoid them.
Yeah.
Like the plague.
They fucked us coming back from Cape Cora.
Yes, they did.
It was super annoying
because it was like the flight was supposed to leave
just before eight to get back here.
And then it was like,
oh, it's going to be nine now, just before nine.
Now it's going to be just before 10.
Now it's going to be just before 11.
And then it was like, actually it's canceled. Fuck you
You could have canceled this, you know three hours ago and I could have at least you know
Relax during this time and maybe slept
Yes, muttering Jay, I'm anti American Airlines
Don't take that out of context, please
Be very bad
Don't take that out of context, please. Be very bad.
Anti-American, you say.
Let's talk about our first day there.
We came in on Friday, and thankfully,
someone told us to go to the Seaport.
We bought, Mike brought that up.
We had someone else too tell us that's the place to be.
And that was great.
I liked this place that we went to.
Cisco Brewery, or Cisco Brewing, something like that. That was great. I liked this place that we went to Cisco
Brewery or Cisco brewing something like that. Yeah, and it was enormous. So here's just a quick shot. I took
tents and and outdoor
Stuff this is like it's right there in the city. That's only a fraction of it. It's like yeah
Three or four. That's only a quarter of it. It's like yeah three or four. That's only a quarter of it. It's a huge
courtyard with beer
Stations all around the bars everywhere was perfect never hard to get a beer and
The worst but worst margarita pizza never had
He was not that real stingy with the fresh mozzarella too much ketchup
Yeah, look it took one look at that and I said we're gonna go up this true we went through this like
boutique bowling alley in like an entertainment complex with an Alamo draft house and
got
Boston chicken wings
I know I was yelling at you Andy like you're like I got wings. They weren't very good like we're from New York
You don't go to Boston to get wings you fucking
Maple bourbon wings
Manager came up and was like thanking us for trying the food. He's like
And I said I understand
Nobody thought anyone would ever order that so thank you sure that's what you want
It's only because the food and the service sucks sir, but yeah
Wow there were a lot of weirdos at
Cisco Jeff Jeff
Yeah
He brought his portage on
Which was great try to get a lot of photos. I took more photography than usual. I wanted to be able to capture the weekend
So I waited in line the whole time to get in with Jeff. Oh you dead. Yeah, he was right in front of me
Here's a weirdo
Here's me and another weirdo
Good looking group doing a lot of show and tell hey look who's here speaking of weirdos
Blind Mike Geary, what's up?
Some guys
Mike gonna see you again Mike was not with us Friday night
No, I was not that sounds like a hellish nightmare to me. Yeah, I had a feeling that this was not a something
You'd want to do it sounds like a hellish nightmare
But Mike weren't you the one that told us all that we should go to the lovely time
It was my social anxiety nightmare exactly yeah. Yeah, it was a lot.
It was a lot.
It was, it was weird because there were a lot of like, it was a huge event space and there
were a lot of people that weren't us there.
And usually on those meetups, we like find a, you know, midsize bar and just kind of
run everyone else out with our being assholes.
We weren't able to do that.
I know you tried tab, but there were still people there. Yeah, it's a cool area
I forgot it was a Friday night in the summer, so I just was not thinking of that well
Thankfully someone told me I got an email from a guy who goes you're going to Cisco on a Friday night
There's a line. It takes on purpose takes an hour to get in there
Yeah, and so we got there early, and I got we got right in which worked out well
Because yes, there were other people who like were standing in line for a long time
But everyone found us because we were by the port of John's yeah
Find us
That worked out well
But I had a great time. There's a lot of people who came out to the the thing beforehand the night before Follow the stench. Very easily, yes. Yeah. So that worked out well.
But I had a great time.
There was a lot of people who came out to the thing beforehand, the night before.
Yeah.
A lot of familiar faces, a lot of new faces.
That was a good time.
I'm glad we did that.
Yeah, that's always one of the best parts of the weekend is that Friday, just casual
meetup with all the people coming into town, getting the drinks, saying hey.
No, obviously a lot of dickheads there.
This is a big event for the Dick Show.
And as we were mentioning earlier,
Dick is not feeling 100% and he took the red eye
and he was kinda down a lot of the weekend.
So he ghosted at some point and people kept kept filtering in, and I started to feel bad,
because it's just like, hey, is Dick here?
I'm like, I think he is, yeah, he's around here somewhere.
I was just chatting with him a minute ago, yeah.
He just missed him.
Yeah, he was donezo.
It's weird, because I was on the show with Dick,
but I never actually officially met him,
and I think that's because he and I seem very similar,
where neither of us will talk,
unless you directly speak to us
So we never really met up. That's my fault
I should have introduced you because you guys sat next to there for two hours before the show started
I forgot you guys haven't done shows together or anything like that. I didn't know
Funny guy though very funny guy very good entertainer the the show was was fantastic anything else about
Friday that you guys remember any other things that we should discuss before we move on to Saturday show day I
Go ahead go ahead. No, that's fine. Oh, I was just gonna say I really it was a very social
Socially overwhelming experience for me at first
But getting to hang out with everybody I really eased into it
I had so much fun meeting and talking with people
I think tab you're exactly right that always is one of my favorite nights because I love getting to actually say hello to people
And I feel like I'm sure they're saying two exactly different things
Social anxiety a nightmare. It's the beer
the alcohol helped solve
that problem meeting all the wonderful people okay it was great so I ended up
having a wonderful night are you making sense of this am I the crazy it was
horrific wonderful understand you've got to be up to enjoy it that's what she's
saying it was a nightmare that became a wet dream. It depends on who you're as. Yeah. Yeah.
I mean, we did see all those people the next night.
I mean, that's also fun.
Yes.
I like that we had the polar opposite experience
at the after hours place, where Tab and Jen and Carl and I
went to this place called Pink Taco on our way
to a place that was highly recommended.
It's either packed or
Not worth going to because we were in we could see the place and there was a line around the corner
And we said well, we're not gonna do that so we went to this other place
Nobody was there and the staff sucked they treated us like shit. They didn't want us there now that
That that place blue dog yeah So pink tacos that like a lesbian place because there was a lot of those
I know it's pride month. So maybe that's why well. Yeah, it's a franchise. There's other ones around the country
I don't know it was it just for like check. Yes going down another girls because I didn't feel welcomed there
I guess is my point well neither did I?
They didn't know that I'm a real just do it
The wrong kind of gay
Yeah, I felt like the droids in Star Wars yeah, we don't serve their type here
I'm sorry. I'll go sit out here, and then we're sitting out on the patio. They go, you gotta get out of the patio.
Why?
We're just, we're doing,
because you're podcasters, asshole.
We're literally,
Read the sign.
In Boston, even our gays are bigoted.
Yeah, that place was really, really off.
And that it needed,
it felt like it was gonna be open for another couple hours,
but it also felt like they were trying to close and they were resentful the fact that anyone was there trying to you know
Give them more money. Well. I sat at the one side of the bar, and they said this side of the bars closed
Okay, yeah, so and then we went and sat on the patio and they said the patio is closed
Yeah, and then we went inside and they said you can't sit at any of the tables, right?
Everything just said is literally what happened to us, and they're like let's get another round the fuck are we thinking yeah?
Next time
Adios well while that was happening good old Vinny Paulino was buying me and mrs.
Vinny and Lucy shake Shack burgers, and they were fucking awesome, Okay, so I chose poorly is what you're telling me.
Yeah. Yes.
I was talking to, I don't know if Vinny's gonna be able
to hop on, because he's a buff workout guy.
Yeah, he's a health guy.
He's jogging at the beach right now.
I'm not even joking.
Did I get it?
I was talking to you, I did the creep off today.
He's like, I don't know if I can come on,
I got my cardio today, I'm at the beach.
It's 112 degrees, he's jogging at the beach,
but that's good for him, I'm glad. He can run into the water.
He might die.
But he was telling me that it was an interesting experience
for his wife, who's never been to one
of these live shows before.
She was like, people are singing along with the jingles?
What's going on?
Are you guys popular?
What's happening right now?
She had no idea.
What did Vinny tell her beforehand?
That's what I wanna know.
She probably said, yeah, there are a lot of people come out, they're big fans of the show, they love it. She went no idea. What did Vinny tell her beforehand? That's what I wanna know. She probably said, yeah, there are a lot of people come out,
they're big fans of the show, they love it.
She went, okay.
I doubt it.
Tell me another.
Yeah, we'll see about that.
That might've been the thing that stood out most to me
was when I heard people singing
my transvestite children for TikTok.
Dude, I played that twice.
It's such a toe-tapper.
You just can't get enough of that one. In fact, I'll tell you
what it sounds like. It sounds a little something like this.
Yay!
Sitting in my mobile coffee shop Making videos about my Translator children for TikTok.
I gotta figure out who sent that in.
We gotta give them proper credit.
It's been a while.
To think that that's the one that caught on
when there's this Woke Dad jingle.
Pfft.
Oh, that's not the Woke Dad jingle.
I actually don't know this one.
And other hits like.
No, this one.
I would do anything in my power
to keep them happy, healthy, and safe.
The name that they would call their superhero was
Faulted.
I stand up against injustice.
Faulted.
Standing up for what's right.
You get the point.
You get the point.
I was excited.
So it was Dick Show and Who Are These podcasts.
But because Blind Mike was there, because Vinny was there,
we had some creep off elements.
We had some Who are these social elements,
and I felt everything landed, everything seemed to work.
I'm getting ahead of myself.
It seemed like the show went very well, people enjoyed it.
Did you get that sense, Mike?
Yeah, I will admit there were times,
because I don't know Dick's show as well,
where the crowd's going nuts.
And I'm like, I have no fucking idea what we're talking about.
They're all chanting his name.
He's showing pictures of his vacation. And I'm like, I don't know what's're talking about. They're all chanting his name. He's showing pictures of his vacation.
And I'm like I don't know what's going on here.
But yeah, no, I'm really happy.
He's like, look it, I found some graffiti over here.
Look at this photo, I took a graffiti.
Waaaaa!
But yeah, it seemed like every segment had its own.
It may have appealed to different parts of the audience.
But every segment seemed to hit.
And what's your...
So you've been doing live podcasts with Kirk Minahan
Yeah, what was the?
Similarities the differences how would you compare the two?
so this was more we've done
events like
Theater he's done like theater shows like the Wilbur here in Boston and stuff like that. So we're popular I get it
But the difficult thing for that is like I not only can I not see it though, I also can't hear
a fucking thing. Oh Jesus. Those are tough for me to participate in. And then when you guys were on
stage something occurred to me and I leaned in to Justin who was with me and I said, are they
wearing headphones right now? And he looks up and he goes no
And I go well
Here goes nothing. I thought I wasn't gonna be able to hear again
And then I was gonna walk up there and you'd say something to me. I'd be like right. Oh Carl you said it
Luckily the way that gun you was set up. I could hear so now I see your lips moving. I like it
No, so what actually what happened we said we did the soundcheck and I do bring headphones like in Detroit
We'll bring headphones because drew insists on it and he's right
We should have headphones, but we bring headphones to some of these shows but at this venue City Winery
They have the monitor speaker. It's set up for a music venue
so they the monitor speakers and everything and
I guess I didn't put it in the writer that we needed a monitor speaker, because they were like, oh, you want monitors on stage?
I was like, yeah.
I didn't want to be able to hear what's going on.
And so we did set up one monitor speaker.
There seemed to be enough.
Well, that just dawned on me today.
I was like, you know what?
We didn't have headphones, and I could
hear everything perfectly.
Yeah.
I used to be real weird about live shows,
like setting it up like it's a radio show
or like it's a podcast, and I've gotten better with that.
Like, it's a venue. It's a's a podcast and I've gotten better with that
My god, it's a venue. It's a live venue. We're just gonna be fine. Well while we're talking about the monitor. I just want to say
That was the most can-do spirit
Crew yeah had our sound guy
Two years ago when we did it with the dick show was also like that
There was a whole crew of people who are just running around doing anything we asked them to do, getting us food, going to places across the street.
Nothing was a fucking problem.
Yeah.
Everything happened.
But CityWinder treated us very well.
Yeah.
Yeah, Mason was the guy that was like,
I guess our services guy, and he was so nice,
like just bringing us food, getting us drinks,
making sure we had anything we needed,
whatever request, he was just like,
yeah, no problem, and he was so chill.
Coolio.
Coolio.
I haven't stopped saying coolio.
It's his catchphrase.
He had a crutch word, holy shit.
Did he have a crutch word?
There were a few times he threw it in there
where I was like, it's gotta be a bit now,
where someone bet him, I bet you can't say it
this many times.
It's like he's doing the super troopers meow thing.
We're like, ah.
Yeah, exactly. He actually took me aside, he's like, is doing the super troopers meow thing. We're like, ah. Yeah, exactly.
He actually took me aside.
He's like, is everything good?
I said, coolio.
Did you really?
I was elated.
He's catching on.
Me too, brother.
At one point, his control seemed to start slipping
with as many things as Blind Mike was requesting backstage.
I mean, talk about diva.
Fucking Blind Mike, he's just like,
keep the food coming assholes
We couldn't get Mike to take advantage of anything this this place is copying all the food and drinks or whatever you want
They're running and getting it for us and we're like Mike. Seriously. Do you want something? I'm great. I'm great. I'm good
I don't I don't want to be a problem. You wouldn't have been a problem could have ordered dinner
We all ordered all eating dinner everybody eat dinner. I think even Justin got something
Good I'd rather sit in silence next to dick for two hours
This guy I'll never meet
All right well I
Haven't mentioned this oh, I'm sorry
I was just gonna say it was out of all the city wineries
that we've done live shows at,
it was the perfect size for,
we did Nashville, that felt like it was too big,
and then we did New York,
that felt like it was too small,
I felt like Goldilocks.
This one was just right?
Yeah, yeah.
I agree, in fact.
It was amazing how many people they crammed in there too. Like, it's so close quarters, all those tables. Yeah, and then like fact it is amazing how many people they crammed into in there too like it's so close quarters all those tables
Yeah, and they're like I walked out on stage, and I was like holy shit. There's a lot of people here
Yeah, here's a great photo of the crowd. I've been doing this more recently
I'm like oh, it seems douchey to pull out your phone and take a photo of the audience
But that's what I do it. I'm like I'm glad I did that cuz now I can
Shultz does it you can do it okay yeah yeah I'm totally justified well you
have to prove to Kevin Brennan that people were there yeah it's mostly for
steeltoe I'll be waiting for him to tell me what a failure my event was that he
wasn't that doesn't know anything about.
I think I was saying this to producer Chris that I don't realize it has seeped into my subconscious somehow.
Because obviously when I listen to John say like, oh, it was four losers at this show in Rochester.
Like, obviously I'm like, oh, he's lying. He's an idiot.
But then when I showed up, I'm like, somewhere in me, I was like, that's probably going to be four losers here. People showed up on my like somewhere in me I was like that's probably gonna be four losers here
Times a hundred so yeah, I do want to I didn't mention this yet But we do have the super tip system in play right now
And that's how you get to interrupt the show and ruin everyone's time by going to super tip that GG slash
WATP and Hunter Duke who was there with mrs. Hunter Duke Duke yeah, he comes out to a lot of these shows great to see him
He's here supporting us right now, and that didn't work for some reason yeah
Hmm. He said something nice
Why is that not coming up on the screen? I should have tested this it was powerful stuff guys
Probably should have tested this thing ahead of time It was powerful stuff guys
Probably should have tested this thing ahead of time
But give it up for the Dukes. They are great. They are fantastic They gifted me a movie that I've been looking for for a very long time. They gifted me a Mexican werewolf in Texas
Wow, which is a really dumb movie
Jesus yeah, I love it.
It has one of the best booby reveals in cinema history.
I've seen some good ones.
Is the werewolf a lady werewolf?
It's it's a chupacabra.
And I believe it's a man with boobs.
No, a girl's boobs.
I was trying to get the reveal from the monster.
Human boobies, human bo boobies it's worth the watch
All right, we've amped long enough no
I'll go over to super chats and thank
Jim Polgar becoming a YouTube member. Thank you very much Jim
Get the bonus episodes on here on this channel as well as our shows on Saturday. You get those when you become a member
Thank you very much Jonathan
Mardukas ten bucks
Can't catch live but boss was fantastic exceeded expectations Carl was even funner
Adam was even more interesting producer Chris is the nicest guy on the earth and why Mike couldn't see shit
It's all true. It was great. Well. Thank you very much Jonathan. Thanks for being here
I think I said this on my show the other day
I hope this doesn't sound like an insult to Adam Bush, but like I know everyone says he's always very serious
He was very funny Saturday night. Oh, yeah
Yeah, he was very funny conversationally, too. I was just asshole to him for no reason Friday night
Everything was forgiven and he was super chill the rest of the weekend
I really enjoyed meeting Adam Adam did a thing to, and I'm glad you brought this up.
I would not have.
So Friday night, we get back from the bar,
and Adam doesn't show up at our place till like after 1 a.m.
And it's me and producer Chris and Tab,
we're still up, and Adam comes in,
and we're chatting with him and stuff.
And like you said, Tab maybe was over-served a little bit.
And the next morning on Saturday,
Adam comes up and he sees Tab and he goes,
hey, I'm Adam Bush.
Nice to meet you.
And I went, was that a move to like,
in case Tab was black out, he could think that nothing
happened.
Did he say I'm TV's Adam Bush?
Well, I don't think so.
Because then I said to Carl, I was like,
no, we met last night and I was a huge asshole.
Aw, Tab.
DD885B says, hello from Boston, I missed the show but enjoyed the video, maybe next time, good job guys.
Well thank you very much.
Speaking of TVs, Adam Bush, what's up Adam?
Yeah Tab, I was giving you an out.
I was giving you like a reset.
I had a feeling, yeah, that was very sweet of you
to do that.
Cause I didn't know what we were gonna be like.
You might have been like, no, no, fucking
define art, motherfucker.
You tell me what I'm like right now.
Because that's where we left it the night before.
You never know what you're going to get.
And I was really happy when you were like, hey,
nice to meet you.
And then we had a blast.
Yeah, we did.
Jeff Massey, $5.
I loved meeting all of you.
And the show was absolutely perfect.
Andy and Lucie are now two of my favorite people on earth.
Got good taste.
It was great meeting Jeff.
He said Andy.
Oh, I misread that, sorry.
No, thank you Matt, thank you so much.
Having acquired taste, okay.
Dr. Omega, I miss you guys already.
Xoxo, scola.
And look at this celebrity who's here in the chat with us Tony from heck the movies
I'm sad. I couldn't be there, but I'm also happy Vito wasn't there
Big you know why he wasn't there liberty
Why don't you know Tony was not there because he had to go see the Batmobile in person the same Batmobile that he has seen
I believe twice before in person, the same Batmobile that he has seen, I believe twice before in person.
Look, he went to see an inanimate object
overhanging out with us.
I would go see the Batmobile too.
Listen, you could have, and you didn't.
Yeah, you could have.
So there.
I'm sorry, I'm rebooting OBS right now.
I feel like Tookey.
He also, do you know what else?
Do you know what else Tony just recently did? Tony just went to Gebhart's. Really? Oh, I saw him tooky. He also, do you know what else? Do you know what else Tony just recently did?
Tony just went to GebHarts.
Really?
Oh, I saw him, yeah.
He was there with Manny Muskets.
He was live streaming with Manny Muskets.
He did a great job opening the show.
Somehow Manny managed to be in both places, Tony, you fuck.
Yeah.
That's true, that's a good point.
That's a good point.
Manny was fantastic.
He opened up the show for us.
And Manny very famously likes to bring drugs to these events and
I asked him if he brought drugs. He's how much money do you have?
From the green room
Maybe next time just pull him aside
I did actually get a good pop at the green room. That's a good point.
Maybe next time just pull him aside.
Maybe, just maybe not in front of everyone.
Yeah, koi about it.
Yeah, you're probably right.
On the DL.
I'm an idiot.
I do everything wrong, Adam.
TV's Adam Bush.
I've heard they appreciate that.
I don't know the code.
I don't know the lingo.
All right, so let's talk about the green room real quick.
Okay.
And this is my fault.
I think it's my fault.
Maybe it's not.
It's your fault. It probably is
What happened is I get a schedule from the city winery that says all right Carl get here three soundchecks at 330
Meet and greets at 430 doors at 530 shows at 730 and I go great sounds good
And then we get there and I'm like wait
Why are the two hours between the meet and greet and the show do we need?
Doors to be two hours before the show starts?
In what world does that make any sense?
And we're all sitting awkwardly in the green room
for two hours, just kinda, every now and again,
so it's like, ah, so you guys hear about this thing?
Yeah. We told you.
There was a point where we crammed into a not room Yeah, we told you
Crammed into a knot
Room that wasn't really meant to hold 11 people Lucy was eating her dinner on the floor because Carl's backpack
Get the chair and Carl's backpack gets a chair
Let's not turn me into a monster over here.
Jesus Christ.
There's a point where like you guys all finished your food and then we were kind of just waiting around for a while
and then Vinnie goes,
wait there's 40 minutes before the show starts?
It felt like we'd already been waiting for hours.
Yeah, it was literally hours.
Well we asked to start earlier too and we were not permitted.
He said he would screw up the table service.
All right.
Which was very important.
I mean.
It's a money maker.
People gotta eat.
All right, I'm gonna try something, guys.
Let's see if this works.
This would be so amazing if this were to work right now.
Oh my god, it worked, I fixed it.
KJ! Finally got to meet in person.
KJ's been a huge supporter of this show.
And she just gave us $100.
Says, my first Devilverse event and it was amazing.
Jen and Lucy are so lovely.
Chris, the hair is more breathtaking in person.
And Carol couldn't have been nicer.
Boston might need to become a yearly event like Detroit. Oh, that's interesting
Good Boston become an annual
For it, I'm not against it
Hutterduke
amazing time like always
When do we get wide live in Colorado just for the meetup at Casa Bonita? We're on to Detroit
We are on to Detroit. We are on to Detroit.
I do like that idea.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
Doesn't that Casa Bonita have a little mini theater?
Probably, yeah.
I'll tell you what, when we play Red Rocks,
we'll meet up at Casa Bonita, right?
We'll perform in the cave.
At Casa Bonita.
All that is holy, do not let big, chungus blind my geary sit on you
Our boy is no longer a small lithe twink
But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked you grew fat you grew thick you are obese
Then he forsook God who made him
Deuteronomy 32 15 they run in Israel, sign a peace accord, just do it!
All right, well, it's getting political over here.
That is all I was talking about on weekend, though.
So it makes sense that that would be what my AI voice
would be talking about.
All right, Super Tip is back on, everybody.
We fixed the Super Tip machine.
Supertip.gg slash WHTP.
Thank you for that.
How embarrassing in front of all my friends too.
Just not work like that.
One thing we did all share in the green room was
what that chat was just talking about.
We all got to hear everybody's vocal reaction
to how we look physically and how disappointed they are
by the image they had in their head
and what was in front of them.
It was very sweet.
Yeah, I mentioned this at the show, but the funniest thing was I'm walking out for the meet-and-greet
And there's 65 people in the bar area waiting to meet us
And there's so there's a lot of murmuring and noise and everything and all I hear plain as day
Perfectly as well curls way better than I thought it was
There was one specific asshole that was insisting on trying to pick everyone up that was that guy
I want to see those pictures I
Do you want to see those pictures of all you guys being lifted up by that dude? Oh, right?
It was oh, okay now. I understand what you're saying for mr.
138 yes the reason that he was so concerned about how big Carl was is because he was planning on picking you up in a little
While right, okay, so it's not normal to yell when some guy walks into a room about how fatty he is
No, you're telling me lately. Look at this big fat fatty.
Mike's like no, that's pretty normal. It's how people say hi
No, it hurts more because you know he couldn't he doesn't think you could hear him so you know he meant it.
Yeah he was just telling his friend. He wasn't like hey Carl you fat fuck.
He was trying to hurt you he was just observing honestly and reporting.
Yeah right that might be the worst part thanks Adam.
That might be the worst part about it now that I think about it.
Just for clarification. Appreciate that.
All right, so I fucked up the schedule.
It was way too much time between the meet and greet
and the show.
I don't know why that is, but I gotta give myself credit
for one thing.
I really rode their asses about having bartenders on duty
during the meet and greet,
because do you remember Philadelphia?
Yes.
And we had 60 people next to a bar with a bartender who hadn't opened the bar yet.
He was just making busy work for himself, just wandering back and forth.
Did not mind negative attention, I'll tell you that.
And the worst part was, which is actually great for me, is that all of us had a stocked
bar back in the green room, so we're're all going getting drinks and coming back out talking to people and
all people paid for it couldn't have a single drink that was so shitty so
weird the way that worked out so anyway at least here I was like well if you're
gonna have people in it for 30 make sure there's a person there who can serve
beverages and they did althoughely, after when everyone wanted
to drink at the bar, only the artists could get them.
It was embarrassing.
Yeah, they closed early.
Yeah, this guy wanted to get me a shot so bad,
and he's waiting and waiting,
and I believe his name was Jackson,
was like, well, I'll get him a drink,
and I'm like, I'm not gonna be that guy, no thank you.
That's a first for you. Yeah, 10 minutes later I was flagging him down, I'm like, I actually get him a drink and I'm like I'm not gonna be that guy. No, thank you. That's a first for you
Yeah, ten minutes later. I was fighting him down like I actually will have
What's can you even get a shot in Boston what a fucking weird city that is no doubles when it comes to drinking
There's no happy hour. I think this is something the dick pointed out. Yeah
Happy hours against the law
so
Actually, this is funny because I went to Cheers on Monday after, before leaving town.
Yeah.
And I went and ate there and they had a sign that was happy hours, but it's no H in it and it was discounted appetizers, but you know, drinks are all still full price.
Well, I'll clarify.
Yeah, please.
You can have happy hour. You can not, it can't be willy-nilly
So if you have you do a happy hour it has to be every day at 5 p.m. You can't change it or anything like that. It can't be just on the weekends. It can't be just on Wednesdays
For Mike what is the politician who's going guys? We're gonna make happy hour very convenient for everyone a recovering alcoholic
Before I was a voting age, I had no say in this.
I'm gonna move to Massachusetts and run for state house.
That's gonna be a real one-ish thing.
You got my vote.
I should move there and vote for you.
Yeah.
Tab, was that the Bull & Finch you went to?
Yeah.
Nice, I would've went.
I didn't know you went.
Yeah, it was kinda, I just went downtown
and was wandering around and was like,
ah, you know, might as well do the touristy, most touristy thing you can do. I love how all the bars around it are called like three cheers cheers
Get all the suckers to come in just a Google Maps. Just yeah, you're just eats it up like odds. I saw cheers
Let's go there
This like hop on hop off tram tour was pulled up to it and like
15 people got off and I was like walking down the steps as they're all getting off
I was like these people aren't getting seated, but they actually sat them all pretty quickly
For such a small place it was like there's no way you can get this many people in here
So it really was personal against us everywhere we went
And that's why you got such bad service at Pink Taco.
Oh, god, it's the worst.
All right, let's talk about the show proper.
The audience was the best.
They were great.
It might be my expectations, because I know a dick show
audience can get rowdy.
I've been at these shows before.
This is my first rodeo.
But I also was concerned about the people
who showed up at 4.30 and the show starts at 7.30
and I went, oh, this is a long day of drinking
before the show starts and we're gonna do a three hour show.
So that's, add three more hours to three hours,
whatever that is.
There's no way to know.
I love the 10s.
Who said six?
Six.
That's why he's center square.
10th spent the weekend with me,
and went, this guy's a fucking idiot.
I gotta explain to him what three plus three is.
I get it, I get it, I'm dumb.
It's true.
And yet, for some reason, even by the end of the show,
Jen's going around with the wireless mic,
talking to people.
They were coherent.
Yeah.
They were using words.
They were plants. Yeah, they were using words
Why are you so awesome I
Get that a lot actually and grab my note cards here
Light and so engaged yeah, it's good. Yeah, I heard about one person passed out in a puddle of vomit in the bathroom. Oh, really?
I didn't hear about that.
What did my brother do?
Yeah.
He was a problem.
Yeah.
Now this is the other thing I heard about,
but I didn't see myself,
so I'm interested in what you guys' experience was,
because I was on stage for the whole time.
Dick does his thing,
he shows his little PowerPoint presentation,
and as we were talking about before, people love that.
Here's a photo I took three hours ago in the city.
And then we did, Tab was up there
and he was talking about his shit,
which I do want to talk about with you
because I really want people to get on your case
and help you with that.
So remind me.
But then we go in and we do,
Tricia Paytas and Lizzo
Did a podcast together and we follow that up with fat watch
Which is nothing but fat people falling over and humiliating themselves
And I was told that
There was a heavy set server who seemed very upset about the cat that?
This is a folk house they're not used to this right it's very
inclusive and very
in an older tradition of listening rooms where everybody puts their phones down and listens to the music. And they, I thought, showed respect
and gave the room over to the people who'd sold it out
and did everything they could to make it a great show
and stayed open as late as we wanted.
Even long after they were gonna make bread,
everyone was supportive, but everyone got hit.
Every single person in that place had,
including myself, went, ah! and that's just part of the game
That's what we're doing there, and it felt fair, but it was interesting to witness
I mean it was a pretty long block of just making fun of fat people that too
Yeah, that was specific. I was breaking it up with other stuff in between and then someone told me and I can't remember who this was
But someone was walking out of the showroom or something
and there was employees like,
how offensive is this show, is everything okay?
Like they were concerned about it being super offensive.
Oh, I didn't hear any of that.
So then I was talking to the people
who were there to make our lives easy.
I go, is everything cool, are we good?
They're like, oh yeah, this is great.
Like, okay.
And then Jen and Lucy and Andy and Andy's wife
were working the merch table afterwards,
which was incredible.
Like tons of people coming through and grabbing merch.
And I go to the guy, I think it was Mason,
maybe it was Jackson, they look the same.
And I go, do you need us to get out of here?
Like, are we like overstaying our welcome?
And he goes, I get paid by the hour.
All right, cool.
Well, then you don't give a shit, so I guess we'll.
He said Coolio.
He said Coolio.
That's how I knew which one it was.
I would say it was a pretty high number of,
a rate of sales for the merch at this one, too.
A lot of people were very into it.
People loved the poster. People were glad that, a lot of people were very into it People loved the poster people were glad that the people a lot of people were like the dick bring merch too
And I was like do you think dick trunk?
You got a bunch of merchant from LA on a plane. No, it's like you could have the Philly poster or you could have this poster
Yeah, I mean when we did Philly we ordered brand new shirts just for that show and we had them printed in Philadelphia So there were the Philly shirts at the show and then veto just walled
He started just fucking putting a sharpie on
Under shirts, and that's what's actually anybody's the floor with us. Yeah, Tony who did that he was making the the sharpie under shirts. Yeah
Oh was that I've been playing all this time that was Tony him and him and meant we're doing it on veto's behalf
But there was like there was a whole I know it was veto shit
Yeah, it was it was a super killer shirt like dick and I invested
Hundreds and hundreds of dollars and time and we had an artist put this awesome
Designed together with me and dick on the shirt and all this cool shit
And then veto just like fucking starts here or whoever is just drawing on an undershirt and everyone's fucking lined up for that shit.
Speak it up.
Oh, go ahead.
I was just gonna say,
I wanna go back to the posters for a second.
Mintzella did an awesome job on this poster.
We have so many great posters,
but I really loved this one.
And I think that's one of the reasons
people were going so crazy for him.
I agree, it looked amazing.
Yeah, I love Carl just bashing in Adid's head with a rock.
Yeah, I agree. It looked amazing. Yeah, I love Carl just bashing in a deed's head with a rock
Yeah, there's Johnny the audio engineer is like throwing a rock and smashing someone in the face and men explained to me all the people who are
On it cuz it's like there's someone beating up Maddox. There's someone else beat up Opie's that are Johns in the mix
I'm like, I mean, I don't recognize those faces, but I like the idea of it
That we're just you know, it was a revolutionary thing. You know, we were obviously
the Americans
America Mike is doing something in the back. Yeah, Mikey likes fighting this way. Mike Mike was yeah
In the back that was pretty great. I wasn't on the post. I wasn't on the show originally, right?
So the couple people had me sign I colored in stuttering John's hair blue and then signed on top of him
Yeah in Mike's defense Justin wasn't on the poster either, so that's why he didn't know what was going on
Alright the other big highlight of the show
Harrison Young yeah producer Chris you had a lot to do
with making sure Harrison Young was there,
which I know wasn't easy.
No, he's slippery.
He's a tough one to nail down.
So thank you for making that happen.
Do you want to tell the story about trying
to communicate with him and give him the show?
It was just, I'm sure you can use your imagination
if you've seen Harrison before. You can almost hear how the phone calls would go.
The first time I called him,
he pretended he couldn't hear me.
He was just doing this old man kind of paranoid thing.
I'm like, W-A-T-P, producer Chris.
He's like, who, what?
Yeah, so let's just flash forward and say
I was delighted when I went through the crowd and go find something and there
He was real close to the front. I'm like no shit, and
He's kind of a grump in person. I
Unless you're a pretty girl. Yeah, I was yeah, and even that I don't know he's
Unless you're a pretty girl. Yeah, and even then, I don't know.
So I'm walking by and I'm like,
oh man, you made it.
And before I could even introduce myself,
because who might you be?
I'm like, well, I'm producer Chris.
We talked a lot and I thought you were familiar
with our show, but okay.
You've been out of me, Mark.
Yeah, I've been out of me now.
Well, the funniest part about that was, so it was me and Chris and this guy Adam Thoreau,
who's my video editor, who was the one who introduced us
to Harrison in the first place.
He works out in New England, so he's familiar
with the public access TV show that Harrison does.
And we're all trying to figure out,
how do we make this a surprise?
I wanna bring up Harrison, and people are like,
whoa, Harrison's here. And so we're trying to figure out, how do we make this a surprise? I wanna bring up Harrison, and people are like, whoa, Harrison's here.
So we're trying to figure out how to do that.
We have this conference call, impromptu.
And so Chris calls up Harrison and says,
listen, this is a surprise.
No one's gonna know you're gonna be there.
We're gonna bring you into the show.
It's gonna get a big pop, it's gonna be exciting.
And Harrison goes right to Facebook and goes,
I'm gonna be at the Who Are These Podcasts show.
Impossible.
Like you explained it was a surprise multiple times.
That was like the main thing about this conversation.
We don't know what we're doing yet,
but it's a surprise, don't tell anyone.
Yeah, well originally we were gonna have Dick react
to some Topic Time videos, and then ambush Dick
by bringing up Harrison.
And we realized that was never gonna fucking work out.
Ironically, it would.
It kind of did though.
Yeah, it did.
Yeah, oh, Dick was very confused
as to what the hell was going on
when the topic time clip started getting played.
Yes, it kind of did work out
because I don't think Dick recognized
that Harrison was there.
Oh.
And we were talking about having him
in the green room with us. Could you imagine what a nightmare that would
have been? Not doing that. Thank you for not doing that.
He would have fallen asleep on Lucy's lap.
I had a couple very special moments with him. Of course, as
we were leaving the stage, he tried to plant a plant to kiss
on me. Jesus. Yeah, it was great
It was something
But we get off the stage and he goes and he sits right back down
He's sitting up in the front of the room
And I went over to him and I put my hand on his shoulder and I said Harrison
I just wanted to say that you did a really great job, and he goes
I know and starts watching the show again, and I was like
Okay, all right, neat.
So odd-brand.
Great, great interaction.
And then at the end of the show, all of us
had gotten up on stage so that we could take pictures
with everybody and had the big group of us on stage.
And Harrison was standing next to me.
And he was shorter than me, especially in my heels.
And so he had his head, like, nuzzled into my shoulder.
And he whispers
I could stand here all night, and I was like
Yes, Harrison. There's the photo
He's doing the story John lean over. I'm also leaning
Unfortunately we didn't have
Blind Mike in this one, but I think just about everybody else on the show
He's wandering around the back like the poster Shop them in that's a good call of a blind mic in this one. But I think just about everybody else on the show is up to stage here.
He's wandering around the back like the poster.
I want you to Photoshop him in, that's a good call.
That's a terrific call.
It's a great idea.
Tab obviously dresses better than all of us.
Yes. Oh yeah.
And I thought Harrison would wear his polyester suit.
No shit. It looked like
he'd come from mowing the lawn.
My biggest regret.
Seemed sweaty and dirty a little bit.
Yeah.
About a year ago, he stopped wearing those polyester suits
and he started really leaning into the t-shirts
and that was one of the main questions
I really wanted to ask him about
and I completely blanked on it and didn't ask.
Oh, I think you could have done an hour long Harrison
in a second. I wanna know.
I wanted you guys to just keep on asking him
more and more questions because every answer was more fascinating than last and tab
I pulled the plug on it because we were trying to move things along
Yeah, I know I know what you mean because even when I was like, all right, well Harrison things are coming up
It's like that's it. That's like yeah
I got him there. I pulled clips for it. And then I had to give up my seat. I had fucking
We had to keep it moving, but you know.
Dick tried to sneak away from the show at that point,
right before topic time started,
Dick's like, I didn't realize how much pain he's in.
He's miserable.
And so he goes, all right man, I'm gonna take it.
But I'm like, no, no, no, you gotta be here for this.
Like that was kind of the whole point of having Harrison Young
was to get his reaction.
He asked Harrison, Dick asked Harrison the best question,
which was, what advice do you have for Carl
so that he can succeed?
That's right.
Oh my god, that was amazing.
Do you remember what his answer was?
His answer was, yeah, he can keep featuring me.
Yep, more topic time segments on this show.
And so we're all- That's how you get famous, Carl.
This is what we're all trying to figure out.
Does Harrison know we're making fun of him? I?
Was about to ask that do you think he has any concept of what that was?
Out this is what you say there was an event held in Boston for me the other night. Yeah
This was a conversation that lasted hours Friday night
We were going back and forth amongst each other and I don't think we ever really
Came to a full consensus, but it was a fascinating point of discussion
About whether or not like he knows that he's being made fun of whether or not like he knows
We have a psychologist here with us Adam Bush. What do you think? What's your take on this?
I'm curious
What did his Facebook page say I was just gonna look have you seen what did he wrap this up did he?
What did he oh? I haven't looked he just yes had a blast. Thanks to Kaylee and Carl
Here's a post up there of him with you Adam and
He has a post up there of him with you, Adam, and he's promoting that you're going to be on his show very soon.
I went right up to him and I said, hey, and before I could even finish, he said, yeah,
I know, when are you going to be on the show?
We must have got at least six different guests for his show that night alone.
Some of the fans, one of the fans' girlfriends actually showed me a card. They're all women. She's like, I'm going to be on his show. Yeah, some of the fans Mm-hmm one of the fans girlfriends actually showed me a car. She's like I'm gonna be on his show
Yeah, very every woman he met got a card and an invitation on the show. Oh, yeah
Everyone else yeah, and he gave out so many cards. I was signing them after the show
Okay, we said Mike Harrison young girl again
And right at the end of the show even when we were all on the stage even after he had been such a huge part
Of the show the sound guy came over to me. It's like do you want me to get rid of that guy?
He just has that quality
Job he's having the bouncer. He's like out they care this great
Speaking of bouncers there was a security guy guarding the the door to backstage
Yeah, who was like so after the meet-and-greet?
I was trying to get back there to go to the green room to hang out and and he's like stops me
And he's like are you staff and I say I'm in the shit. I'm in the show. He goes. Are you staff?
I'm in the show. Are you staff? I'm in the show and then finally Mason comes out goes. He's cool He got him like all right cool, and then I could walk through and then in the show. And he goes, are you staff? I'm in the show. Are you staff? I'm in the show. And then finally Mason comes out and goes,
he's cool. He got him like, all right, cool. And then I could walk through.
And then during the show, he's like watching Tik Toks.
Oh yeah. Loudly. And then at one point he's like messing with a piece that he
kept messing with this piece of trim on the side of the stage.
And I was like, what the fuck is this guy doing?
There were a couple of things he was engaged in.
He did pay attention to the Lizzo segment and he paid attention to, it might have been a cop cam thing,
I'm not sure, but otherwise he couldn't be bothered.
How could you stand, he's right next to me on the stage.
He's next to the stage.
I'm on the stage, he's next to me.
And he's watching TikTok videos with the volume on?
With the volume up, yeah.
How can you be that unaware of what's going on?
We had the most polite audience.
You would have never had to say,
people in the back, shut the fuck up to this crowd.
And yet you needed to say it to that security guard.
Yeah.
By the way, for those people that are in the back,
remember to shut the fuck up.
I do like that we have that recorded with Ted Williams.
It's beautiful.
It does remind everyone at the beginning of every show.
There was people chanting along with it.
In the back, I really appreciated that.
Yes, there were.
Supertip.gg slash W-A-T-P is where you can go to participate in the show like Wastier.
Second live show was fun, come back to Philly again.
Alright, I like Philly. I'll do that again.
Although I was texting with Dick today, I'm like it was great to see you for the last time ever.
Glad we got to hang out for the weekend.
You know, he's a family man now.
It might never happen again.
He's already having second thoughts.
Oh, it's too late for that.
Third Dry Master, I'm pretty sure.
Even California.
No, about retirement.
I believe.
I know, it was a joke.
Fucking people, am I that unfunny?
Abortion jokes on the abortion guy abortion jokes don't work
Dang lizard coming in
Like everyone had a blast except for the Duke
You think you're so clever not talking about me. I'll still sue you for using my content for this event
Wait for it
School
These losers had a live event. I don't care. I was famous on the radio now. Let me ban this idiot dang lizard
He doesn't realize we're in a civil war because people block on Facebook. That's like war
Yeah, I think dang lizard got blocked by opi
Yeah, what happened to Sutter John's voice
Stuttering John doing an accent for half of it. Yeah, we got real weird Sean Moore
Hispanic Joey see
Red four seven three had a great conversation with Adam about Irish folk music and Vinny helped me find a comedian for my charity event
Totally worth the trip. Well. That's not why anyone of us there, but good
Now I know how to market this better next time we come to Boston
Blanket the bar was fantastic
But having one blonde get the bar was fantastic. Sean the producer, Adam, read this for me.
What's he saying?
Adam, do you get Joss Whedon PTSD every time you look at Tab Burt?
Listen, Sean, I spent the whole weekend with him and I didn't at all.
But now that you've said it, it's all I can see.
That is very, very accurate. It's not in person it's all I can see, that is very, very accurate.
It's not in person, but on camera, yes, that is very eerie.
Mike Roach, I get it, says,
what Chris dealt with sounds like the movie
Get Him to the Greek, yes.
Except for, yeah, he's not a drug addict, but yeah.
Or a star.
Well.
Okay, it's actually the opposite of getting him to the Greek. Now that I think about it. Yeah
You did get diddy to know I
Want to show this photo right here because this is a big one for Jenny jingles Oh got to sit next to blind Mike on stage
How exciting was this for you Jen I loved it
I love that I've been a fan for a long time and he did say to me when I met him
I thought Carl put you up to it and
Untrue yeah, I don't why I'm on her behalf to make you feel better Mike. I
Said I don't know if you heard the beginning of my show the other day
I said that um Carl I said Carl's too nice a guy because after the show
He comes up to me and I was like I'm gonna get out of here and he, just so you know, a lot of people were really excited that you came out tonight. And as we're walking away, I said to Justin, I was like, the show just ended. There's no way he knows that.
It is the truth, though. People were very excited that you came out to the show. You were you were great on the show. And here's another action shot of all of us up on the stage.
There's the great Adam Bush with Vinnie Paulino
and Blind Mike and producer Chris.
What a lineup we had going on.
I'm studded.
This is me and Lucy after the show.
I'm wearing photobombs.
I had no idea.
Oh, that buddy.
It's great.
What a perfect picture.
I love it. Yeah, I know you look fantastic
Thank you. Never better. Yep. What else you guys what else were the highlights from the the show itself?
Does anyone have anything they want to share? If I may I loved the the Trisha segment
Yeah, and of course Harrison
but the the biggest pop of the night
and the biggest laugh that came from me,
and it means a lot because I already knew
it was gonna happen.
It was Vinny with the first reveal of that photo.
For anyone who hasn't seen it or listened,
I don't wanna blow it, but it sounds like this.
I have a picture of the guy.
You wanna see him? show my next picture?
That worked so well,
because it was Vito Giswoldi.
That worked so well, he did it a second time,
and it worked again.
Yeah.
Just as well.
Yeah.
Jesus.
It sounded like baseball.
As I said before, I don't know,
Dick's show that well, so Justin was asking me like,
who's Vito Giswoldi?
And I was like, I think it's like Dick's co-host,
but no one likes him so i don't know
Pretty close Uh veto was a real pain in the ass for hackamania so he's been uh, yeah people like him people like veto
We all like veto he was just he was going through it recently sure so we give him some no one in that bar liked him
No one
There's a coincidence adam yeah, i guess then at the end like veto or uh, riley was like No one in that bar liked him. No one. I didn't see him. I was there. I'm trying to be nice.
It was a coincidence, Adam.
Yeah, I know.
Because then at the end, Vito or Riley was like,
thanks for not inviting Vito.
And the crowd once again was just like, yeah!
They squirreled here.
It's almost as if Vito got the biggest applause of the night
because of that.
It was insane.
It was insane.
Which brings us to what was really
the most powerful and unhinged moment of the night,
which was the ending when Jenny was out talking to the audience,
and it just showed how connected and engaged and involved everyone was.
It was almost as if, if you didn't know what was going on, everyone was speaking in a code.
Like we were all in the same union, and we were just about to go on strike or fight or something and it was
just all really personal stuff and from chatters we all knew and then that rise
to action that Clipa had against, who was it, against Vito? Yeah. And the place went
wild and then we immediately found out that we had bombed Iran,
and it broke into chants of USA, USA, and then Dick's like, don't worry, I know how to calm this down,
and he started chanting in fake German over everything.
Which is what you do to restore order.
Mm-hmm, brilliantly.
And Carl assessed the situation, said a quick goodbye, and it was over.
And for that one moment, no one had control of the room.
And it was just an uprising, and everyone felt the same way, and it was really, really powerful.
I think I said, on that note.
Yes, I think that's exactly what he said.
Because there's nothing more you can say.
Yeah, we're not going to get better from here.
I think he said, hail hamburger.
I don't think that's what I said.
Jesus.
I think you said,
My heart goes out to you,
My heart goes out to you.
Give this guy a soundboard over here.
Carlson, mission accomplished.
My buddy, Mark Mood, who handles the Super Tip system, has put in a Super Tip with zero
dollars because he gets right to the front of the line being the guy who designed it and everything he says we've gotten to a
point where if someone asks Adam to be on their show it tells you all you need
to know about their show don't say that we have some other ones that didn't go
the same way say Joey C went that we can show you that's true yeah you were on
with Casey Armstrong we've been meaning to get went that we can show you that's true. Yeah, you were on with Casey Armstrong
We've been meaning to get to that. Mm-hmm, and that is a really nice one. So that's only mostly true coming soon
mayor interview was
Interesting it was actually kind of about you that was
And not people making it about themselves and getting called out
And not people making it about themselves and getting called out isn't a bad one It's almost too much about Adam if you ask me, but we'll play that WTP soon. That's coming soon
We'll get around I might agree with you. No. No, I mean she certainly runs a good show and knows how to do an interview
I was just surprised to learn how she's adjusting to marriage and being a mother
It's a lot differently than I had expected. Yeah found that to be very revealing
Anything else from the the live show that stuck out to anyone I
Finally got to meet and speak with mr. Magenta. Oh, yeah, mr. Magenta was there which which
Remembered to play a song because I completely forgot to prep that
And there may be a cold coming down the pike. Yeah
He finally got his prize from years ago. That's right
So I'm just saying if you had played his song imagine how that dialogue
That was I've said this before but I don't know important this is but we did a live show
I've heard a lot of great feedback from a people seem to really enjoy it and
There was no Aaron Emholdt. There was no opi. There was no Maddox
There's no stutters stuttering John
So we might be a two or three trick pony
point here
Obviously not one there's more than one when it comes to the show years finally found something else
Trisha Paytas
else
Trisha Payne is
We got any I just wanted to you know my show being all apologies all apologies podcast.com go find it I kept inviting people to the after parties. Oh, we're definitely going to the Green Dragon. I see you there
We're gonna party all night, and and then I didn't go at all so I apologize
Everybody that showed up there because I told him to go there none of us did because it was packed
No, those are the green dragon and then I think
God I think like it ended up with three or four different little scattered gatherings the dickheads ended up at
cause like tavern on the square and so I
Meant and Riley were like yeah
We'll give you you and Johnny and skit so Mike a ride
and I was like great as we get in their car, and then we drive out of the
parking garage and
Follow the directions to get to Tavern on the square and we pull enough to Tavern on square me pulled into the same parking garage
We just
because we had walked past everyone's spare ticket to their bar.
Boston really is the worst.
You miss one fucking turn,
and you have to drive through the entire city.
Big Ben, Parliament.
That's all I kept thinking was that European vacation.
Every time.
So I had had it after the show.
I just needed...
I didn't sleep great the night before I was
Exhausted I wanted to go to the Green Dragon. I said good night to Andy and mrs.
Andy like I'm just gonna uber back to the Airbnb. Yeah, we saw you
Thank you. That's where I was going with this. It turns out everyone shows up 20 minutes later
They're like, yeah, we're all watching you grab that hair
Uber, you know, you're like you're the luckiest boy in the world.
We paid, Adam, I think you're with us, right?
We paid 10 bucks to get into that place
with that shitty cover band.
And then all we wanted to do was be anywhere else.
We're like, where's Dick?
Where are the other guys?
Is it over there?
Is it over here?
I get there and it's just like Grant and Jerry.
I talk to you guys all the time.
We talk to something else. Can you be someone else? It's just like Grant and Jerry You guys all the time
Can you be someone else
There was a select group of people that we got to talk to like you said it all just got
Fractured and everyone up in different groups, but the people I got to talk to and hang out with it was fun It was out for a little bit, and then we left and I thought
it was it was a
Everyone got along from all these different shows, all this stuff.
I was so surprised when everyone was screaming,
all the intros, I thought I'd have to introduce Rob Saul
and let them know who that is.
Everyone cheered at his name.
And that and Harrison being there proved
that you can respond to this stuff in other ways.
You can actually embrace it and fill a room
to roaring applause of people that mean it.
It's all really kind of up to how you process it
because it's right there and available
and the fans and all the podcasters feel like it's all one.
Yeah, that's a great point.
Adam and I were talking about that afterwards.
You brought that up where it's like,
this is how you embrace this sort of thing.
This is what Opie and John and Patrick Michael
and the list goes on and on and on.
Haven't figured out like Harrison Young came to our show
and got a huge pop, like huge applause.
He got a standing ovation walking up on stage.
The entire rest of the night people were snapping at things
Watching the crowd snap for every single thing that he did and then continue it that into future
Segments that had nothing to do with Harrison was incredible. He impacted that room. It was crazy
But I love that point you made Adam cuz yeah, like Rob Saul
That's kind of like a thing that's over here, and there's no way the Dick audience
is following what Rob Saul's up to.
And Mike, when you and I did Woke Dad,
I wasn't sure what that was gonna be like,
but it seemed like everyone was kinda on the same page
with Woke, we ended up to give a lot of lore
and backstory for that.
Yeah, I didn't know because I didn't know
how much these shows crossed over,
because when Dick would talk about stuff,
there'd be a massive pop
So I was like, okay
What are the odds that any of these people have any idea who Daniel Alexander is?
But it seemed like I said like people were singing along with the intro so and crazy
I'm a well-amended more chanting dick a lot, but I think it's just cuz it was pride month. Yeah
Incidents right, that's why you were do it. It was a coincidence. Right. I know that's
why you were doing it. Hello, Razor 69, five bucks. I was so sad to make it to Boston.
I think it means not make it, but I really enjoyed the audio episode. Great job, everyone.
Well, thank you very much. Yeah, the audio came out good. Oh, props to Vinny Paulino.
Once again, Vinny's the reason we did things differently than we do at a lot of these live shows.
And Vinny brought the video equipment and all the other things you need to do to get
the audio and video synced up and make that happen.
And of course, Adam Thoreau did a bunch of stuff.
I got complaints on Patreon.
We didn't get the video up all that fast.
It was a lot because there wasn't a shot of us
with the video.
The screens were all over the place.
So I had to get my video editor to find the right videos
and sync them up in the right places.
He did a fantastic job.
But props to Vinny Paulino.
HellRaisers69, I meant not make it.
Yes, damn butterfingers.
Now I figured it out.
Timothy Magano.
Oh, him me a hand.
Again.
This guy almost made the show, I think, because he says,
you're welcome, glad the suggestion had such a huge pop.
So Timothy's the guy who said, hey, you know,
Lizzo's on Trisha Paytas' show.
And not only was that the main segment for WTP,
I continued to clip that on the airplane back,
and I made that point a point devil point when I got home on
Monday I was like, you know, I was messing with Shulie because I was supposed to be back earlier and you know flights and
Nonsense, so I didn't get back American Airlines go figure so I didn't get back in time
So I showed up late and I don't think Shulie was ready. I was like, yeah, I pulled some clips out of play Do you got to see this? They cheers pizza. They cheers Domino's pizza with each other. So that was an amazing podcast episode.
Yeah, I was listening.
I was listening to the audio on the plane on the way home.
So that'd be the third time I heard you with the clips
in the living room at the Airbnb,
Andy and Lucy doing their homework, then the show.
So it's really the fourth time.
I'm still laughing my ass off.
It's still funny.
One of the, that was, you know know a lot of the time on show day
All of us are kind of sitting around in our Airbnb and everybody's pulling clips for everything
That was probably the most that I've ever heard people laugh at any show on a show day prepping for it Carl
Watching you listen to that and just hearing you explode in laughter, and then Andy would explode
I would be doubled over tab. I think you were listening to it for a little while and doubling over
I'm really in different rooms. You just hear pockets of people like Lucy
That is one of the funniest episodes that I think we've ever covered so good
Shardy McDonough's two bucks. I'm late any skin any skinny chest or yes. Thank you for bringing that up
I wanted to bring that up. I'm still alive he's scared any skinny Chad stories. Yes. Thank you for bringing that up. I wanted to bring that up I'm still alive
We noticed which is amazing
No one expected that he showed up. So skinny Chad is great
He showed up he had the hamburger pants that he sent me but a better size
They were double XL's and he wore him like a cape
The whole night just like embrace it which was great because I was god. This is this is awesome
I'm glad you got those pants and everyone was talking to him, so I thought he handled all of that very well
He seemed to have a good time. He didn't come up to me and say he goes
You know I'm Mike. I know I listen to your segment, and I understand why you think I want to kill Carl
I don't get why you think I'd want to kill you
What a sweetheart I was like all right, man. I'm just like walking backwards
That what you just asked me
Because you said that, what you just asked me. That's why I flew in.
He did, in case you're curious, because I think you are, he did come to each one of
us wanting some form of closure or something and I believe he got it from most people.
I don't think he did for me, but I think that's probably on me.
But it was very comforting for this community to know that
Multiple people whispered in our ears like let me know if you need any help with that skinny chat
And one of them was a cop like showed his badge and was like just find me if you need any help with that skinny chat
I'm zooming in on the photo so I have the audience photo here
We can go through around the room and see people there. He is he's got the hamburger pants on like a cape dressed very nicely, too
Dressed up for the occasion which is more than you can say for me. I didn't do any of that kind of thing
There's an actual black person not even making that up
Wearing a shirt and tie and enjoying the show
There's a coof. I don't know if I don't know if I'm doxxing people right now
Old docks and Carl
But yeah, you brought up something that I kind of glossed over Lucy
Which is one of the
things I love about doing these live shows is all of us hanging out in the Airbnb together,
prepping the show.
Because typically I have nothing prepared until day of the show.
And by typically I mean every time.
Yes.
That's typical.
So we all get together and we start handing out assignments and people start watching
things and pulling clips and we collaborated on stuff.
Adam and I were sitting down and kinda doing some editing
when we were looking at the Rob Saul stuff.
Like, is this interesting?
What about this?
I don't find that kind of stuff.
And I think that's what makes the live shows
maybe different than our regular shows.
Because the regular shows,
everyone just kinda shows up and goes,
I brought some clips, I brought some clips,
and we just do it.
Where it just. He just said just, I said the line.
I fucking said the line, god damn it.
I caught myself immediately.
Say the line, Bart!
Anyway, I love that atmosphere that we have at the Airbnb,
all kind of collaborating on it before the show
and putting that all together.
I think it's unique.
A lot of the time, it's just kind of all of us
sitting in our own little spaces
and not really interacting with each other.
But again, there was so much energy this time.
Everybody was having so much fun
with the clips that they were doing.
We were all interacting.
Everybody was laughing and going,
oh my God, I can't wait for you to see this.
Like, it was a great, great experience.
Yeah.
It was very educational
to see everybody's different approach to it.
And I definitely learned a lot
watching how everybody does it.
I assume there's one way to do it
and that's the way I've been doing it
and that that's correct.
And you see other people are worried about other things
that make it just as good.
And I found a lot of stuff that I could steal.
Yeah, Adam was going to bring Quadfather getting drunk
and saying gay stuff for five hours straight.
That was, you're like, oh Carl, you gotta see what happened
when I had Quad Show last night, this is wild.
He's just talking about gay sex and sucking dicks
and sitting down on penises.
It was interesting.
It was.
He likes what he likes.
It was, and I went, yeah, but Rob Saul was talking
about as small as penises, can we just do that?
Yeah, and you can feel the whole room go like,
yeah, I'll go with that, that's a thing.
That was an amazing segment, watching from the audience.
I was just, I was so stunned at what a person will say
on the internet with almost zero prompting.
Yeah, and at length.
No puns.
His brother had the length.
You get the point.
No, but his brother had the lag. But yeah, you get the point.
Weird Comet has been a member for 13 months,
says on vacation, not paying the devil's attention,
everyone's asleep now, and I grabbed my phone,
I'll watch some other time,
can't handle Italian commercials.
Oh, this guy just wanted to show off
that he's over in Italy on vacation.
Oh, look at me, guys, I go out into Italy on vacation.
I go to Boston. It's not even vacation, fuck, look at me, guys. I go to Italy on vacation. I go to Boston.
It's not even vacation, fuck.
You got me, actually.
Sunday, fun day.
We were having different ideas on what to do.
I know Dick brought up running a boat
and going out on either a river or an ocean or something.
So he did, we all stayed at the Airbnb.
He did not. It turns out there's just way too many of us on either a river or an ocean or something. So he did, we all stayed at the Airbnb.
He did not.
No.
It turns out there's just way too many of us
to really pull anything off,
and it actually worked out better
that we all just kinda went out for some food
and hung out.
And watched Dhar Mann.
Watched a lot of Dhar Mann.
We did watch Dhar Mann.
Oh, interesting.
I was excited to maybe go do something,
and then we ate lunch, and I was like,
I could really just lay still for the rest of the day.
And that's what we did.
And it was awesome.
It really was.
It actually worked out.
I think that was the best use of our time.
It helped that it was impressively hot out.
It was hot out?
There was an NBA championship game seven going on,
so there was that.
There was a lot of things going on
that we could have done anywhere but Boston.
But it was very much what you'd expect and hope
from all of us in terms of what we love to do
because we couldn't just watch Dhar Mann.
It had to break off into groups of like,
where's the studio located?
How do we get there?
How do we get jobs there?
Do they have openings?
How do we infiltrate, make a documentary,
become a part of this and then report back?
We couldn't let it go and I'm sure it might happen.
Oh, I hope so.
I'm sure Adam was offended by this but I kept going,
Adam you gotta get a job working with this guy.
I don't know why you're not on these things.
He's like, well Carl it's not union,
it would be a really big problem.
I don't have the chops.
Can you explain how Hollywood works to me?
I appreciate your faith in me but that's, you know.
I just love that Adam's explaining how Hollywood works.
Like well you know these people actually don't have real careers in acting and you don't say
For obvious reasons yeah, it's just a different kind of career
It's a different thing and I'm wondering how much of that is like what you hear about Shen Yun and stuff that yeah
Dance company where it's like what's really happy because it feels like propaganda
We just can't figure out what they're selling.
Well, so Shen Yun actually is,
that's the way they maintain their visas.
They're anti-communists.
So it's human trafficking.
Yeah, they can only remain in the United States
if they continue to work,
and that's why they produce the show every other week.
They're also fucking crazy.
It's the only company I've ever seen that reuses gaff tape.
So they lay down their dance floor and they tape it down
and then they roll it back up in the rolls and reuse it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, you were gonna throw that out?
That's like depression era shit.
You hear about it from your grandparents would do.
You don't all have tape money, Tav.
And is the show itself anti-communist propaganda?
Is that what the message of the dance show is?
I don't really remember what they talk about.
I mean, it's a beautiful dance.
And they do talk about how they can't do this in China
because of the Communist Party line
But like it's it's mostly just a nice little dance show that is you know
$20 or something to go see and any fucking city in America every three years yeah
It's like bozo the clown there's always one everywhere. Yeah
Evan Brennan member for three months says I was excited to see blind Mike
Well, thank you. Did you get a lot of that Mike? Did you get a lot of people going? Holy shit playing Mike is
I got to sign a copy of a what's it called one too many DVD
What's it called? One too many DVD? Yeah!
Probably say Periscope.
I was going to say that before
because you asked like any
similarities to like other live shows I've done
and much like the Minifans
you hear certain things about like a lot of these people
online that have a certain reputation
and then in person like couldn't be lovelier
for the most part, you know?
I'll never forget
our first time in Chicago
We had no idea no idea because we're show that clowns everyone and we're jerks
And we're we have a lot of fun being jerks to people we hadn't done video yet, and we were on a video show yet
We didn't really know what the interaction would be we're not reading super chats back that I mean the show's gotten way better now
And so we didn't know what the audience
I mean the show's gotten way better now. And so we didn't know what the audience interaction was going to be like.
And everyone was so lovely and so nice.
Oh, okay cool.
I didn't know what kind of vibe I was putting out there.
It's worked out well.
Justin kept saying this to me after the show.
He was listening to people interact with me and talk about Stuttering John and stuff like that.
And Justin was like, because Justin's mildly interested in that stuff.
And he goes, you know what Stuttering John and stuff like that and Justin was like cause Justin's like mildly interested in that stuff And he goes you know what Stuttering John doesn't get if he showed up there
Massive probably biggest pop of his life. Well, that's what we were talking about with Harrison Young
I mean it would they'd be chanting his name still they'd still be in that place
I was in the audience when it happened
there was a brief in part of Cardiff's intro or something, a real brief clip of John.
And I gotta tell you, the look of love
that fell across everyone, it was just like tear,
almost like, ah, like there he is.
He would have felt that in person,
the way I truly believe this was the first time
Harrison Young has felt physical contact in years.
And I think it would be similar for John.
I wish. Yeah. And some of it, not just from Lucy, like everybody.
Even though he's in that baseball league, you don't think he has a lot of physical
contact with other people?
It's a very small league.
I don't know if they're taking any new members right now.
He did ask me to come watch him play baseball tomorrow.
I need to ask because obviously he turned over his phone and asked you to hold it up to a camera that they didn't exist
What was on that phone if you watch the video?
Adam Therone knew exactly what he was talking about because he posted it on social media
So we did splice in the photo that he was talking about if you watch on YouTube. That's great
It is Andy and I tell you if you watched on YouTube. It is Andy, and I tell you,
if you're ever on apartments.com or homes.com
or something like that, and it's just like
images of empty rooms, that's all it is.
It's just an empty room, it's depressing.
He was so excited to show everyone too.
He's like, this is my living room.
You're like, oh, okay, oh Jesus. When he was talking about the number of championships So excited to show everyone to it's like this is my living room like
When he was talking about the number of championships he's won it's like when you hear there's been like 47 seasons of the Bachelor you Like that doesn't yeah
When he said that that he's won like a hundred forty eight
Championships over 20 years. It's like that's only like seven a year right
Tough game apparently it's like, well, that's only like seven a year. Right. It's a tough game, apparently.
It's not a high number.
And he plays these six game series,
and Lucy did a great job of asking the important questions
about how it all works, and I still don't understand it at all.
Apparently, you can get a grand slam without anyone on base,
so it's all very confusing to me.
You know, when you make up the rules, you can do whatever you want seem kind of arbitrary
but you would think you would win more when you when you made up yeah am i high
on glue or with their cats involved at one point there used to be cat okay
thank you in the baseball huh I feel like the cats were they got sick of it I
feel like there was a cat that was like a base
Cats suck at baseball well, we don't know how he's doing it
Okay
Steve says boss was a great show
I didn't talk to any of you because I was as high as a Georgia pine, but it was a blast nice
Well, Thank you Steve
I appreciate that pony power to coming in pony power for the amazing show. I can't wait for the next one I also can almost guarantee that skinny Chad did not kill anyone
Okay, that is true. Well
We're not Michael and Patrick Michael voice coming in yeah pony power to that was great to see him
It's great to see Lockie. I
know Power to that was great to see him. It's great to see locky. I know Locky does such amazing. He came out Friday night
He was out of the show and he has done so much for the dabble verse and the creep off and everyone shows
Which one of you guys has the artwork?
Andy does okay?
Yeah, we made us a couple of he made some very nice artwork for us that I have not seen in person yet
I don't think anybody's seen in person unless Andy cracked into it.
And I am very excited.
Me too.
It's awesome. And when everything was wrapping up at the end of the night, we were trying to maybe catch up with Dick down at the bar that he ended up at where we thought he was when we got there. Nobody was there But on the way there
Lockie was taking us on a detour to show us more of art that he had done on a hotel wall
Like
showcase his
Walking tour modern-day Michelangelo. Yeah, he's great
Pretty incredible stuff that he does
Michelangelo. Yeah, he's great.
Pretty incredible stuff that he does.
Well, I'm going to duck out, but I just want to say that this is a wonderful weekend with all of you and I was so excited to get to meet everybody.
Thank you for having me.
And I'll see you guys all soon in Detroit.
Well, you see, you rule.
Thank you very much for all you guys rule.
You guys rule. Thank you, everybody, for not getting killed by skinny
Ted Zumach or anybody else.
Yeah. All right, bye.
It's the least I could do.
So, no problem at all.
So, flying back on Monday, that was when I flew back,
on Monday, Boston did this weird thing,
I still don't know why, there's this tunnel
that takes you to the airport.
You go under this tunnel, it's like an expressway,
and then you get to the airport. They closed it
This closed the top. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we do that sometimes
What do you know about this Mike? What was going on just to fuck around?
Sjr me I get it we get an uber
Jen and I get in an uber were the last ones to leave I hope we're the last ones to leave because someone left things there that I had to grab
I hope I didn't steal someone's stuff. No, he didn't all right
Jenna the last to leave the Airbnb and we get in an uber and you know
Like I'm one of these people who's kind of impatient and I'm looking at my phone. It's like you don't say you'll get there at 1127
Cool, and then it's 1134 and then it's 1140 and then. Cool. And then it's 11.34, and then it's 11.40,
and then it's noon, and then it's 2.30.
Anyway, the point is, they rerouted us off the expressway,
the direct route to the airport,
and put us right in the exact middle of Boston,
the hardest place to navigate in the world.
And we were just in,
because they were doing that to everyone.
So the amount of traffic was so frustrating.
I felt bad for Uber drivers,
I don't think they charge more.
Right?
I should probably tip them actually,
not think about it.
Oh God.
Jesus Christ, Carl.
But anyway, so we get to the airport,
and everyone had gone through this thing,
because everyone can't get to the airport.
So we're just trying to drop off our bags at
American there's only one person working there for some reason and a line that goes on forever and everyone's kind of going
They're boarding my plane right now. I got it cut in front of you. It was like no fuck you
They're boarding my plane you're not cut in front of me
So it's just like everyone was pissed and the woman who was like grabbing the bags was having the worst day
Yeah, she's just like there's like idiots there. She had to run and like use the kiosk for them.
Oh, they were done.
Whole line of people going on.
That's funny because I was like two hours behind you heading
to the airport and they must have opened it back up
because it was a quick, it was like 15 minutes.
I'm glad you got stuck in DC then.
It took two Ubers to do it because the first one pulls up
and I get in the car and the guy's like, you're going to to the airport and my gays like I don't go to the airport.
What?
I'm canceling this you gotta get out and I was like what?
That's against their terms of service.
So then I get out of the car and call a second Uber and I was like well hopefully this one works out.
That's really weird.
So I tipped the second guy very well because the first guy was an asshole and there's no way to rate him and they
Cancel your ride. Oh, I bet our driver wishes he had the same policy cuz oh
Take us to the airport saw
We went around the block then we went down around the same block but a little farther than around again
We were just doing like loop-de-loop
We were I was I'm watching on the app which I probably shouldn't do and I'm just watching us drive away from the airport for most of the time
It's like when you're waiting for your food from Grubhub. Yeah
Never watch that thing. Where are they going? Yeah?
Anyhow we made it
Just great when I was arriving in Boston on Thursday. It was the hottest day of the week
It was pushing a day of the week. It was pushing 100 with the heat index.
There was a tour bus broken down on the side of the road with another tour bus there showing up to
to help people, you know, escape that and I was like, what if I was on that and it was just like no air conditioning sitting there
Just dying in a hundred degree heat. So
Could have been worse
Well there you go. Yeah look at these schmucks. What am I complaining about good points?
all right, I'm going to go around the horn and
any other highlights or anything that you guys remember from Boston and and I
Don't know events or shoutouts or people you were excited to see, Jenny Jingles?
I already said what I was very excited about,
but the other thing that I did know-
Boy and Mike, we get it, all right.
I'm a big fan.
Yeah, yeah.
Also, the crowd was so amazing.
Like, nobody was really unruly.
Nobody seemed to be too out of control,
just out of control enough. it was a lot of fun.
It was a really great crowd.
I agree.
PC, anything else?
No, I think we covered it all, man.
Did I say Darman?
Yes, you did.
We introduced Dick to Darman,
he had never heard of it before,
so that was fun. I had never heard of it.
Oh, okay, yeah, yeah.
Yeah. He's amazing.
It was entertaining for the first six or seven,
and then it was like, it became,
it started to become viscerally irritating,
and I had to walk away for a bit.
If you like the movie, The Room,
I highly recommend you check out Darman,
D-H-A-R-M-A-N-N on YouTube.
He doesn't need our money, but you will enjoy it.
He's doing very well.
Something happens around episode 40, 45, if you just keep watching.
It's tough to get there, but when you do, it's kind of like enlightenment.
You'll get it. You'll get it. Andy, what do you think?
I love Boston.
I will always want an opportunity to go back.
And I had a lot of fun.
I just like walking around and seeing the history on like right on the walls.
It's a really cool city and the beer culture was great.
I got some Trillium beer and did Mrs.
Andy have a good time?
Oh, yeah.
She glad she went.
Oh, yeah.
Yep.
Great time.
Good.
Good.
Good.
Blind Mike any takeaways?
Any other?
I mean, we've talked about a lot, but I was I was glad you guys scheduled one 25 minutes from my house
Because otherwise
Instinctively I would have avoided doing it if I could so it's kind of forced me to do it
And I'm glad I did because it was very cool. Yeah, it's great and
Tab let's talk about your situation you came out at the last minute
You were not gonna be a part of this and then you kind of lost everything in the last week or two.
Yeah.
And so fucking up going to Boston.
I got into a Twitter argument
at the beginning of the month with a huge retard, I guess,
that totally spurred out and went and screenshot
a bunch of my old tweets and reported me
to the Glass Studio I work at here in St. Louis
and my employer.
And so during the last time I was on WTP a couple weeks ago, I got banned from the glass studio.
And then Thursday, which is your biggest passion in life at
this point. Yeah. Thursday before flying out to Boston on
Friday morning, I was fired from my full time job for these
mean tweets. So I saw the letter that tab got it was just like this I mean they work
that you do over there and then for them to just like write a very informal like
we are ready to inform you that your values and blah blah blah blah do not
align with bb ding and whatever and so it was all crumbled up when he sent us
yeah I did I did reacted to it well.
I did throw it away and then figured that,
so I am gonna pursue some legal rectification
of this situation and as that gets going,
I'll keep the WTP listeners and the Dick Show listeners
in the loop as far as what's going on with that
and any support that I may need
So hopefully hopefully this all gets
Well, you said it on the live show and I forgot about this that you on musk had put out a thing where he's like
If anyone gets fired for anything they put on Twitter acts or whatever. Yeah, then I'll support their legal fund. Yep
So yeah, and so you're a perfect example of that. We do need to get his attention
But yeah, the show was great. I I love hanging out in the Airbnb with the the people on the show
It's one of my favorite things and that's how Carl and I met on a dick show. Yeah, what five years ago now
Yeah, and just I heard the the
After the show Carl and I were sitting out on the balcony
up there just drinking and talking about what a great time
it was, and that's always been one of my favorite parts.
And then also huge.
Dick came back at like 3 AM, and we're just up there drinking,
and Dick just comes out.
And we're just like after this big show in Tampa
that we did, it was like, oh, this
is the nicest little wind down.
And yeah, I remember that night very well and that's why I
run the shows the way I do is because of dick yeah the don't get that on
contacts a huge a huge thank you to the fans who make this these kind of things
possible because if you weren't listening to these shows if you weren't
supporting these creators you know we wouldn't get this opportunity to spend
time together to meet you in person yeah and, you know, that is also it's so fun meeting these people that have the online
pseudonyms and it's like, Hey, I'm Mr.
Magenta. Like I'm Mr.
138. I'm, you know, this guy and I'm
Ted Bertha Cuck.
Yeah. I hate that.
You get to put a face with like this name of a random shit poster.
And it is also funny.
They are all incredibly nice like for as hard and heavy we go on the internet against you
know one another calling each other fat and losers and retarded and making fun of other
people. There was there's been a bunch of stuff on social media recently about how like
the people that shit post on Twitter are actually happier in their entire lives than people who don't and I think that it's a great
example of seeing that when you meet these fans and like they're all pretty well adjusted normal guys that just like to have a
laugh and sometimes you laugh at someone's expense and
Sometimes you get made fun of and you just kind of oh
Yep, I guess I am a fat loser and and there are loser shit posters
They just can't afford to go to these events so it works out well. We kind of get the right ones
Yeah, to show up for this stuff
It really is um like you hear about wanting to see Mad Magazine behind the scenes
And then you go I've been to DC Comics, and it's just like a corporate office
It sucks, but you go to the Howard Stern show in the 90s on K rock
You know wow it really is just like you hope.
It's something about when people have similar taste
and they all get together, it really just,
even from the Dick show, everyone got along so well,
and it really was like, for me as someone who was a fan,
what you would hope it would be.
Like everyone doesn't disappoint,
and everybody's contributing, everyone has the same taste,
and just all the dick people and all of us
all kind of sharing the same beliefs,
even though it's just about this stuff, you know?
Like Johnny the audio engineer,
and all of these guys sharing this same,
it doesn't disappoint.
It's what you hope it would be
when you're out there listening.
Like there's a group chat you have with Vince DeLorean and all those people, and as a fan I used to be like,
man I wish I was on that group chat, but now I don't, because that's scary.
But this is the real way to go. Everyone is very sincere.
I appreciate you saying that, Adam. I'll never forget when maybe our first show in Detroit, maybe our second one,
and Drew had to come over and bring us posters or whatever he was dropping off to us and he comes
To our Airbnb and we're all just hanging out. It's like the day of the show. We're all just hanging out and I'm like, oh drew
What's that? We're sitting and talking. He's just like I couldn't believe how relaxed everybody was like we have a show tonight
Then everyone's prepping for it and no one this is our fun. This is what we do for fun
So no one's like they're like, oh, we got a whole all right, dude drew. I don't time for you right now
We got a joy
It's like oh, did he talk to Vinny?
All right, so maybe it's not a hundred percent
Like that Matthew Raleigh five bucks
I just want to make sure everyone is aware that Carl has gone to the wrong airport twice in the last five years
Okay carry on
No once but then you left your computer on a plane well, I've done a lot of bad
I've done a lot of dumb things. I'm kind of an idiot and the other one my fault. Oh
That's right. Oh, yeah
Go to the wrong airport twice the other one was cuz Andy put in the uber rong
The right live show guys. Thank you all for not killing yourselves
Thank you very much
Coup the stickers he made were amazing And thank you guys for all being here.
Matthew Rowley, Skinny Chad is the most well-adjusted.
OG Bumble Nick says,
I'm glad you guys like Boston so much.
It's a great city. I really wish I could have made it to the show.
Hopefully you'll come back again next year.
We'll come back to Boston again.
That was a phenomenal experience.
Last thing I wanted to mention
is that a lot of people know about this.
I'll just say it.
It turns out my father passed away on Saturday and my mom, who did an amazing thing, she decided not to tell me or my brother until Sunday.
Which worked out really, really well because he passed away Saturday morning and we didn't know that.
So it made it very easy for my brother and I to do the show and enjoy it and do our thing. And so anyway, I know people have been following that.
It was a good time for me.
We had an amazing Father's Day.
The great grandkids were over.
It was a lot of closure, a lot of good things.
So just let everyone know that that is the deal.
And I will not be on WATS
because we do have some services and things going on.
But Mike, you're gonna do do WTS this week, right?
Yeah, the real funeral I have to be with Casey day
Craig's gonna be on actually
WTS before so no he has this is very exciting so yeah beyond tomorrow at usual time very good
Well guys thanks so much for for being part of the live show. Thanks for coming on here to talk about it There's a fun little recap. I don't know these are necessary or not, but I enjoy them
Everyone tell me this is okay
Exactly right, that's exactly right.
That's the spirit.
Thank you very much.
No shit.
