WATP WATP Hello Robert Nixon, Cousal Welcome to a very special emergency episode Of who are these podcasts This is a very exciting event We have tonight Adam

Adam Adam I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore Eric Nagel is here What's up Eric? I'm mad at Adam I'm not going to take it anymore Eric has been under the weather And he decided to pull through

For this important episode thank you for being here and doing this. Thank you for having me. It's a fantastic time to be alive because FU Friday is still happening on the Opie radio stream. Like right now as we do this? No, it happens on Fridays. It's FU Friday. All right.

I thought it was a marathon. Well, I'll tell you what's going on right now. I'll tell you what's happening. Opie did an FU Friday on Friday. And I love covering that. I usually covered on the Saturday shows of WATP because, I find it enthralling, amazing. It's everything that Jock Tover stands for.

You know, it's like, well, what's grinding your gears this week? Opie really gets into it with, you know, things like potholes. Well, taxes, you know, he's like, whoa, this is wild. And so this week, my buddy Adam Bush was involved in FU Friday. I didn't want to step on his toes because sometimes, every now and again, Adam gets involved in something and I cover it without him. And it's like, oh, that was kind of shitty. But I agree with that.

So I said, I'm not doing an Opie segment on Saturday. We got to cover this FU Friday. It's very important because Ron the Wagers Venmo was talked about at length. We finally got, for the first time, Opie showing what Ron's Venmo address is, not just that QR code in the corner. And we asked a lot of questions. Adam was there to ask some questions. So I wanted Adam to be here to address that.

I thought, by the time we get to this on Wednesday, it's old news. We had to do this now. We had to do this tonight. And that's why we're here to do this. And, of course, Eric is here because Eric's a huge fan of Greg Opie Hughes. And he's going to have our counterbalance. He's going to be like, well, hold on a second, guys. Opie's a great guy.

And here's why. So that's an important element of WATP. We have the, you know, the person who's like, I think that Suttering John's a shitty whack packer. Then the guy who comes out and goes, actually, no, he's quite talented. I got my pom-poms right over here. Perfect. I appreciate that. And by the way, I should mention you're watching the stream right now.

I appreciate you guys being here. You can participate in the show and also support us by going to supertip. g.g. slash WATP. And that money goes to Moody and Melton's broken back and maybe some of it trickles into me and producer Chris. Not Eric. Don't worry.

None of it, none of it's going down. Don't worry about that. I promise you. No one with a family is getting any of the money that you, said this way. I promise you that. Supertip.g.g. slash WATP. Before we get into Opie,

and I have a lot to talk about as far as OPE goes. We have a lot to talk about. Detox Illuminati sent me a TikTok compilation of Jerry Banfield. Now, Eric, you go back away with WTP, So I'm sure you're familiar with Jerry Banfield when we first started covering the guy, right? Yeah. I think I started paying attention when you guys, he was doing game streams or something, right? Wasn't he streaming video games?

Oh, yeah, for sure. Yeah, yeah. And then he disappeared for a while or you got bored with him. I don't remember which what it was. But the fact that he's been back and that that time episode you just did was maddening. I'm walking around, you know, the house that I'm just in there and like, time doesn't mean. anything on other places. No shit. That's like basic science that you learn in elementary school. He's like, did you know like if you were on another planet that 24 hours wouldn't meet a day?

Yeah, yeah. I know that. I'm pretty sure I know that. No shit. You know, times different in Europe than it is now? It's a different time over there. It's wild. Anyway, so Jerry Banfield is an amazing character. I find him fascinating. We've been bringing him back because he just came back to the internet. He's been on fire, but a lot of people don't know the backstory. And we started covering Jerry when he was $600,000 in debt and explaining how he got into debt, why he's in debt, how he's going to get out of it. And I always found this character fascinating for that reason. This compilation was an amazing job of going back in time and showing people what Jerry

has been like based on the TikToks that he's put out over the years. And guys, just tell me to pause it at any time because this is fascinating. Is having 600,000 in debt actually a blessing? I think it is because I'm actually having fun, learning, growing, trying new things. I was so frustrated with my finances last year. And now I'm actually grateful for this adventure in my life. I talked to a bankruptcy attorney today about my 70,000 in personal loans and credit card debt, and it seems the best option is for me to file Chapter 7 bankruptcy at the beginning of 2020,

which will erase all those loans. I'm not declaring bankruptcy. Even though we've got 660,000 in debt, I've spent way more than I've made this year. We're going to make this work. I'm going to sell everything I can and reduce expenses and increase income. Instead of declaring bankruptcy, I'm cutting everything I can. One of the things I'm cutting is massages for like $600 a month.

I'm replacing those with taking baths totally for free. It's helping me relax and fall asleep. One of the thing that we've learned about Jerry, he loves massages. He's always has money for massages no matter what, no money is. He doesn't have money for food, for child support, for, you know, rent, clothes, everything. But the massage budget is good. He gets off the park bench and walks over the massage parlor.

He's like, all right, it's my appointment. And it's wild that a guy would think this way. That's why I find him fascinating. He's $600,000 of debt. And he's like, I'm going to pay it off. I'm not going to find it. bankruptcy and the way I'm going to do that is by taking bubble baths instead of getting massages. It's like that's not really going to put a dent in it.

Cheria, it's neither here nor there, I would imagine. Nor is it a good substitution for like if he, we all know he's not going for legitimate massages, but if you were going to a legitimate place, right? A bubble bath is not the same as getting like a deep tissue or the hot rocks or any of that other stuff there. Sitting in a bubble bath is sitting in your own filth, pretty dup. Does he do the bath bombs? So it isn't as the colors.

Yeah. This is said. And men should not be doing videos from a bathtub, from a shower, in a towel, any of that. In a hot tub. Yeah. With your buddy's wife who you're fucking. There's a lot of examples of this where you should not be. The one that Rob did where he's holding champagne and you're kind of trying to avoid.

Yeah. Yeah, it should never be in water, submerged in water when you're doing a live stream. Good point. My wife and I paid off almost $6,000 in debt last month, down from $657,000 to $651,000. We've cut $50,000 expenses a year. We're on our way to zero, and we appreciate your help. Jeez, I can't believe he, she left him. He's like, yeah, we're going to be done with this debt in no time.

Yeah, and you keep announcing it like it's the, the, fucking national debt clock that's in Times Square where you're watching it just constantly change over it's like we're down here stop announcing your family's hardships yeah you're also never going to get to the bottom of this it's never going to happen but he's a this goes back how far is are these videos uh so we're looking at 2020 right now but i mean he goes back to like 2014 when he started streaming and talking about he's addicted to being in debt yes it makes him feel important it makes I get like it's the only way people pay attention to him is if he's going through a hardship. It's like girl. It's like girl drama. We all know those girls that always have a problem,

that always have some kind of thing with their family. There's never anything happy or good going on there. They're always the person that has to have an issue so that you're the centerpiece of a conversation or you'll talk to them or interact with them in any way. Yeah. And I'm willing to bet that if we have video of him when he's on top, he still has that same. like deer in headlights like someone has a gun to his face like scared panicked look in his eye and sound in his voice because what he doesn't understand is that he sounds like he's falling he sounds completely out of control and he looks dead inside his voice is dead so you're getting nothing and I think it's the same when he's on top I think he's also like okay well we have all this money

and the taxes are coming in and I loaned 500,000 to my person at the salon so I'm worried about that and it's just like it never ends like you're saying. This is it forever. And no one will ever give him money because who wants to live like that? I also think too that if he came into like if he didn't work this nonsense into getting out of debt, somehow money was just bestowed on to him. He won the lottery or something, right? He seems like the kind of asshole that would go to one of the Indian casinos in Florida and go, I'm putting it all on red for this win thing. I'm live streaming. He's hyping up the event. And then, oh, well, you know, easy come, easy go. It wasn't my.

money to begin with. Like he's that kind of guy. Well, he was an alcoholic. And according to him, he's in AA and he goes to meetings all the time. And he's figured that out. A lot of guys replace one addiction with another. And so there's definitely something going on here where he needs to be on the edge at all times.

And now he's addicted to getting turned down by dates. He loves that. He loves being rejected and ghosted by women who can't stand him. And he loves borrowing money that'll never pay back. At nine years old, my friend was kidnapped and tortured for three days. I cried for 20 minutes when he told me, and I asked God, why do you make the world like this? The answer I received was, so you can help each other. My grandfather just passed away today.

I hadn't seen him in 25 years. His name was Ernie. I love you, Ernie. Rest in peace. I was reading a book this morning called The Worthy Woman's Handbook. I did a little exercise having my... inner child right. I wrote with my right hand as the adult and the left hand as the child. And I cried when the child side wrote that I'm afraid of being alone. I just sent my energy out

all over the world. Who doesn't love this guy? Come on. It had the delivery of like a Tom Myers joke. Like a punchline was coming. That's pretty good. That's like a low budget horror movie. When I just, I picked up the pencil with my other hand and I wrote a completely different message. And you're like, I surprised myself. It's a Ouija board. Holy shit. Experienced holding hundreds of thousands of people's hands. I experienced a grieving mother's loss of her child.

I sent love out to all the people on earth. It felt so good. Ladies, this video is for you to let you know. I love how you look without even trying. First thing in the morning, show me your real skin with no makeup. Companies make billions of dollars selling you beauty products. When I already think you look. look beautiful without them.

I love you so, my sweetest love. Be still and know that I am God. How can you remain peaceful during an election year? Just remember that whoever wins will be taking the same

orders from the shadow government. That doesn't make you feel good at all, actually. That's kind of what I'm stressed out about there, Jerry. Jesus. Why would you say that? More about that in another video. I remember my parents having sex on the night I was conceived. I remember choosing them to be my parents and knowing everything about their lives.

God said, are you sure? And I said, yes, they're going to be perfect. I noticed during sex that... Wow. How the fuck is this guy the fastest sperm? I can't even imagine a scenario where that happens. That smile at the end, when he, like the pause that he didn't, or whoever edited this or you.

whatever, right there. Yes. That's like a demon trying to pretend to be a human being or an alien trying to pretend to be a human being. Everything he does is not how a human functions or says things. It's always just off in everything he does. He has two children and an ex-wife. It's wild.

Picture you're like falling down a well and it's so, it goes on forever. And while you're falling, I'm like, just quickly teach me fractions and then we'll save you. You have to like show someone how to do it while everything. That's what he seems like. So the smile is like holding on for dear life. His eyes are like, please help me. I noticed during sex that I say yes a lot.

Yes, yes, yes. And I thought, what if I said yes that many times throughout the rest of my day? How good would I feel? I intend to get kicked out of the grocery store for that. I'm pretty sure. to say yes a thousand times today and i challenge you can you say yes a thousand times today how often to have sex two to seven times a week with someone else is best for health and happiness zero times a week alone is best to promote finding someone else to connect with here's an all natural way to get high get one of these fitness trampolines play either one of these dead mouse songs jump on it for about 10 minutes. I guarantee

you'll be high by the end of it. Dude. That's dizzy. That's not high. Yeah, that's lack of oxygen. Plus, I prefer scrylix. I don't know. I'm kind of old school like that. Dead Mouse is fine, but I'm more of a Calvin Harris man. Yeah, I know. Whatever. I mean,

teach their own. I just had an amazing experience while I was jumping on my trampoline. The best way can describe it, it looks like an hour. What's that? I said he hit the ceiling fan. I was jumping out my trampoline. The best way can describe it, it was like an out-of-body experience.

I was able to be at family members and friends' homes. I was able to see the souls of everyone following me. I'm a masked man. So we got a voicemail on WTP this weekend, and a guy who is in recovery said, there's no way this is a sober man who's in meetings and is a sponsor of other people. just the way, I mean, what is going on here? It just seems like there's something else happening. Yeah, he might be sober, but he's not in any kind of program that's checking up on him

or holding him really accountable because he's like, you know, floating away. He's not grounded to anyone or anything. He certainly has no business offering anybody advice on him. Has he always been this kind of pseudo-religious since you've been following him? Yes and no. He's always been very spiritual But I think recently he's found God It seems to be an epidemic that's going on

Where all these people are finding God And I'm telling you about it Does he ever say that he belongs to a church Or a religion or anything Or is this like Because Scientology's down there where he lives So is he part of that too? Well we don't talk about Scientology on this channel

Eric, I don't know if you know that Like we're pretty cool with Zinu, right? Praise Zeno. Oh, yeah. All right. See the souls of everyone following me. A masked man took a grandmother hostage and was preparing to assault her. She realized this was the time to put her spiritual books into practice.

She sent her attacker loving thoughts, asked about his family, and told him he was a nice man. He untied her and she escaped unharmed. A man broke into a mother's home while she was there with her daughter. The mother acted as if the man was somebody she already knew and started a normal conversation with him. Because she didn't want to alarm her daughter. The burglar followed the mother's lead and proceeded to act like a friend. When the police came, the burglar went quietly and nobody was hurt. Dr. Joe Dispenza had the privilege being run over by an SUV in 1986.

He broke six vertebrae and was told he needed surgery to avoid paralysis. Surgery meant two rods in his back in a lifetime of pain. He was the first one in the USA to refuse the surgery. He laid it home for nine weeks and focused on healing himself. At nine and a half weeks, he walked back into his life fully heal. 30 years later, he's hardly ever had that pain. Jerry's one of these guys who thinks the exception is the rule. And he likes to celebrate that.

Didn't Steve Jobs do this? I'm pretty sure. It was just like, oh, I'd just use, you know. I'll figure out cancer with like some alternative medicine thing that probably works. He's just like, oh. Yeah, that's denial. Yeah, it doesn't work. Never mind.

I was wrong about that. Is he on TikTok? Yes, this is all TikTok. And this stuff isn't going crazy on TikTok? This, this, this, this, psychics. Oh, my God. There's too much of it. There's so many.

Yeah, there's too many lunatics. Yeah. Yeah. And this is nothing new. The only thing really had to contribute to it is adding the stranger things theme underneath because that gets people to trust you. True. What if you never got sick again?

What would you do with all that free time and energy? You can make this a reality today. As long as you will do this one thing. Say, I am healthy once a minute, every day, all day. That's a lot. That's a lot. That's a big commitment. I always thought praying five times a day.

I was like, man, muscles have it rough, you know? But saying I'm healthy every minute of every day, that seems like too much. Think of all the timers you have to set on your phone to remind you, you've got a minute past that you need to say. Who would want to hang out with you at lunch? Beep, beep, beep, people. Carl again? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. All day. Sick people versus healthy people. Sick people are always trying to tell you how sick they are. Healthy people are always trying to tell you how healthy they are. That's because you are whatever you say you are. If you want to be healthy, then just start talking about how healthy you are.

Change your words, change your life. I have a dream that one day, my friend. fellow human beings will have the courage to come out of their homes and refuse to be sick. Don't do that. What's up, homie? This is my first day in the hood. Y'all ready for me? Dude, it's my first week in the hood.

I just got invited to the barbecue. Let's go. How do you not love this guy? What got it forever? I do not love Jerry Badfield. Wow. He's a character. What I love about Jerry, a lot of people who have been introduced to him recently, go, well, this is not real.

This is not a real person and they're putting out an act. No, I think he really is a schizophrenic. Yeah. Who's lost his mind years ago. And can't stop, but advertises lunacy nonstop, which I appreciate. Yeah, I don't know how he hasn't been, like, even through his divorce proceeding, how he wasn't evaluated. Like the judge, the lawyers, nobody said he needs to be. evaluated because it could be an endangerment to the family, the children, whatever the reason

they got split. He does have partial custody of the children. And I guess the wife is fine with that and went along with that. But it is interesting. I wonder if almost like Aaron Imholt, you know, Aaron famously in court says, oh, I'm playing a character, Your Honor, on my show. I'm actually deathly afraid of Nick Rickeda and Patrick Melton. I pretend that I'm a tough guy and I can beat everyone up.

but I'm actually a scared pussy. Does Jerry have to do the same thing? Can we find record of Jerry being like, oh, I'm playing a lunatic on the internet? I don't think so. He can't. He's like Clearwater chat. Like, when he still has those same wild eyes and the delivery is exactly the same, the judge or jury will not believe him.

There's no change in tension. He's still like, you know, not someone you feel comfortable leaving children with. Well, we do have to get into Opie stuff, who's another lunatic. and possibly a schizophrenic. But I want to thank Vince the lawyer for buying me views tonight. We have 3,500 people watching us live, which I'm sure is just an affutea shulie by Vince the lawyer. So thank you for doing that.

But there are actual real people, aside from bots, watching the show. And they're participating over at supertip.g.g. slash wATP. And I think this came on a couple days ago. Good luck to the all whites today, Moody. That was not for this show. Laver Missick, this was for this little piggy on Friday. This little piggy slurped the man, goo.

This little piggy's goal was fumbled now. This little piggy is fighting with pay pigs. And this little piggy is crashing out. Wow. His viewership's at an all-time low tune into this little piggy show. Well done, Laver and Messick. I'm sorry that came in late for us the other night. She's coming back to a late night for a week.

It might be good to see, to keep tabs on her for cringe clips or something. Rosie O'Donnell, that's why she got a facelift. She's doing a Jimmy Kimmel show. She's taken over for a week. Yeah, she's filling in for a week while he's, yeah, Jimmy took off for the summer. Like other prominent host seemed to do.

Yes, he does. But one of the week's fill-ins is Rosie O'Donnell. That's exciting. Yeah. All right. Well, I'll be doing battle with ABC coming up soon. I'm sure they'll be striking my channel, but we will be playing clips of that. Chris Primer, a guy who gave Opie, or I'm sorry, Opie, not Opie, Ron the waiter, $250.

I saw the receipts. I'll catch this later tonight. I'll be up in the morning to hang out with the Ope Star, nothing but giggles and barrels of labs. See you there, Chris. Chris is one of the good ones, yes. Adam will be there as well. He's what a mine. Anonymous says, just get to the Venmo scam.

I know, we're getting there. We're getting there. Op. Opie. Destriga coming in. Ola Gringos, Lady Kay, what the fuck are you wearing? You live in Rochester, not Hawaii. It's hard enough, so you get a little bit of a past.

I hate Jerry Banfield. Where does he live? He was an alcoholic, freaking quitter. I'm still drinking. and I rule the tiny fiefdom I live in, like a true alcoholic. He's not having sex with another person. He's got a sex, though. My penis is in a church all by itself, Church of the feverish handjob, done by the owner of said

genitalia. Also, we can have cocaine to replace the 100 Hail Mary sex perverts have to do. Doesn't seem so bad, actually. To answer your question, I was at a pool party today. So I was still dressed ridiculously. doesn't fix anything. Raper butt, Happy Pride Month lady,

Kay, I see what you did there. Raper butt, real piazza, this guy. Little, little, little, little, $20. Hi, Nagel.

You're my favorite O&A off my guy. Sam Sox. Question, how did you ever find Opie to be heroic? We,

the audience, have seen when a talentless loser he is, thanks to YouTube, how do you think he was talented at any point?

How did you think he was talented at any point? Well, you know, different color glasses 22 years ago, you know. It was supposed, and like I said, it was supposed to be both. I didn't do both names on there. But on the positive, everyone on my hero list is dead. So clean slate start over.

I'll come up with a new one. So I'm not a hero. Okay. No. Fair enough. Senator in Coke Jaw, two bucks. You think Ron leans in when speaking face to face? Yeah, I bet he does.

Actually, it's funny when we saw him. waiting on Opie the first time we were introduced to him. He was very much leaning in. Is it one-liners? I wanted to ask this. Is it him leaning in or, you know, sometimes when you see videos of old people on FaceTime or something, they can be standing there and they look over here.

The camera kind of moves on their phone and their iPad and stuff. Is it that it just zooms in on them? No, it's him waiting in. I know what you mean because Stream Yard, I had a version of Streamer that was doing that. It was like following people's eyes and moving around. I had to delete that off my. iPad. I'm so annoying.

A little little says get to the Venmo Point Club foot Jesus A wipe Carl. That's wrong order. Dabbling Dean, Eric, is Keanu your biggest loser in podcast deals? Um, yeah, uh, maybe. They didn't make any money. So wait, you did a deal with Keanu for podcasting? Uh, yeah, that whole thing with her and her mom. Um, I was doing a thing for another company. They were looking for, it's more of a female-based podcast company, and they were looking to get in with comics and other people to do that.

So I introduced them to several different female comedian podcasts and everything, and they wound up making deals. But they, you know, once the deal was done, I was out. I was just the guy who brought it in, signed everything, and then I left, and it was between them and the company. and I guess they didn't get renewed after the first year. So I remember them bragging about that deal. It was a big deal for them. They were finding the big time. I had no idea that you were involved in that.

Yeah. It was because they saw some of the stuff of her and her mom just talking, telling stories with each other. They liked that. But then she went into the whole dabble verse and all the other stuff. And it wasn't what they were interested in anymore. Like she wasn't doing the mom and her stuff. She was doing all this other stuff. stuff. And I found out at the end of the contract, they didn't get renewed.

So, yeah, I actually have that's on them, not me. I actually have the audio of the executives watching her show. It stinks. Go figure. Tim Matheson says, Carl, do you agree with Anthony Cooney that surely should fire his lawyer for his egregious spelling and grammar errors in this frivolous lawsuit? Anthony did not say that. I saw Anthony on Kevin Brennan yesterday or today.

Not saying that at all. Dabbling Dean, Eric, why does Gavin view you as worthless? Probably because I was against the merger for two years and delayed it. Gavin sees a lot of people as worthless. Danley Dean, Adam, did you donate to Shulie incompetent MCDA lawyer? Oh, no, I haven't yet. I did to his MDMA lawyer. No gusto

What does this say? It looks like French It sure does And Peter O'Keefe says She was expecting his usual 10% kickback And dabbling Dean Eric, how much did you play Aaron Imhol?

How much did you pay Aaron Imhol and why? Um It wasn't a lot I think it was maybe 200 bucks Did he hit the goal? Five specials for us And that was it

Okay by the fourth and fifth he just it wasn't what again it wasn't what I thought I was getting because when we talked before and what he was starting to do the first one or two episodes were fine and then it started going haywire

and he started to be what he is now and I was just like this is not what we want we're not continuing it anymore so Eric will you agree with me I get a lot of shit for this people are just like oh Carl turned on Aaron he finally saw the light Aaron was better before right he's got way, way worse. You were on his show. I did one appearance on his show. He was a radio guy and a fan of

radio. He could have like a normal conversation with you. And when him and April on the show together, it seemed like a normal kind of show where they just kind of like went through topics and shot the shit. Yeah. He was something completely different. And the fact that, you know, I was tired of comics can do podcast by themselves. But this was when a lot of radio people were not working anymore. And I was like, let's take some shots on some radio people and see how it goes. And he had, you know, that controversial pass about shitting on a lady in another market because she got a job that he wanted. And that's fine.

It was like, all right, it'll bring some attention. We'll see how it goes. We did one episode with him in April. It worked great. Second episode, he didn't want April on there. He just did it. And I told him, I said the feedback's terrible. Put April back on there with you.

And then that became a point of contention going forward. And then we stopped doing. business with him. But yeah, he was one guy doing a radio show, a talk show, that kind of thing, and then just transformed into whatever this is now. Speaking of what this is now, Jim and Them, we had an amazing episode on WTP on Saturday because the great Corey Feldman was interviewed by Jimmy Kennedy on Jimmy Kennedy's show. And without saying the names Jim and Them, Jim and them are brought up a couple of different times. throughout the episode.

And I was a little disappointed because I learned that Jim is getting paid by pedophiles to make fun of Corey Feldman. I didn't realize that. I thought that Jim was just like a guy who likes a podcast and found out that Cory Feldman's a ridiculous person and thought it was funny to make fun of him. But it turns out, according to Corey, that, and you probably understand this, Adam. You live out in Hollywood, the underbelly there, the Satanists who are constantly molesting children. and they have deep pockets. And so they're constantly throwing money at people like Drew Lane and Jim and them and Dan Soder, you know, anyone else from the bonfire. Like, hey, could you get?

They know fringe podcasts and Terrestrial Radio is the way to get the message out. Just like a disclosure day. Correct. So they're throwing money at them. And Jim and them disappointed me when I found that out today. And he's here. Is this what we're mad about today? Pester trying to wet his beak.

Ron owes me. That's why I take a cut of his tip. That's what we're going to talk about, Jim. Thank you for bringing that up. We've got to figure out we need to the bottom of what's going on with Ron's Venmo. Because I found out, since I announced this episode, even more people have given money to Ron than we even knew about. So Ron's got hundreds of dollars sitting there in that Venmo and crying poor.

We get to that in just a moment. Tried to amend my carnivorous habits made it nearly 70 days. Losing weight without speed. Eat and sunflower seeds, drinking lots of carrot juice, and soaking up rays. But at night, I'd have to have. these wonderful dreams, some kind of sensuous treat, not zucchini, fetichini, or bulgar wheat, but a big warm bun and a huge hunk of meat. Cheeseburger in paradise.

Heaven on earth with an onion slice. Not too particular, not too precise. I'm just a cheeseburger in paradise. Fine, I'll never wear a Hawaiian t-shirt on the show of God. You got me. Jesus Christ. I hear you. Bacon bits, my man, gifted to who are these podcast membership?

Thank you very much for doing this. that bacon bits and good to see you Vegas Law Tube I'm a fan Eric why don't you go on Sam's show I think despite all the O and A drama you guys would still have a bond Sam is doing well

and I think you'd fit in well with the current format Sands Jim they've never asked never asked to be on and I'm not going to ask to go on people's shows for no reason and no I talked to Sam once in a in a while with no problems

between us. They just never asked me to come on. Bonkers, Phileen, Sheila. Seeing Adam's recent few good men monologue got me thinking. It would be awesome to see Adam replicate a few minutes of John Stream, green screen adjustments, multi-drink chugging, spit-healing. Yeah, I was working on Hamlet, but I can do that too. I can do that. I'll put that in that.

Joseph Collins, getting ready for a long shift at work. Thanks for the emergency show. No problem, Joseph Collins. Thank you so much for being here. Let's get into it. Let's talk about what happened on Opie's show on Tuesday. When Ron came back to the show, it was Tony P on Monday. Ron was back on Tuesday, and Ron had put out the Venmo the week before.

Everyone was excited about that. And so we wanted to find out what's going on with the Venmo. How are things going? Ronnie Babes. Listen, it's Venmo Ronnie Day. Venmo Ronnie. Put your money, where your mouth is bitches, you hate watchers.

You're just lias. By the way. Hey, if you put the Venmo Ronnie up, we'll donate handsomely to Ron because we like the Ron. All right, do it. I'll get a complete report for Ron later. Do it. Do it.

Listen, listen, you guys fucking beg me to get this fucking Venmo QR code. I'm not tech savvy. It took me months to figure this out. Right, they got it. Show me it was worth the time. the money. Just say it, Ron. Show me the money. Now, that'd be a funny bit.

If it was just like, I'm kidding, guys. Thank you so much for your generosity, you know? But instead it's like, Rod's just like, you fucking assholes. I guess, I don't know if you realize what I went through. I know people complain about being in Vietnam or, you know, maybe Iraq, Operation Desert Shield, whatever.

I don't know if you guys realized, I had to set up a Venmo account. I didn't have help with this. This was something like, did. But I had to set up a whole Venmo account and they guys aren't even paying me shit tons of money. He comes off like an asshole in this.

Very unlikable. We're going to see some examples throughout the course of this of Opie, clearly manipulating Ron. So I'm going to ask your help in deciding whether Opie is trying to pull a fast one here.

Opie and Ron are or whether Ron has no idea because I can't tell whether he's aware of what's happening or not. That's a good point. Okay. So OPE is clearly competitive. He's got his PayPal donation thing set up, which actually, Eric, I need to talk to you about that. But first, let's watch this clip. This is again from Tuesday. And I go back to PayPal Ope. Oh, PayPal Ope is down scrolling, by the way. That's my actual link to PayPal me. And I, I give out, I give out thank you notes. Handwritten thank you notes. Why is it? You can't. You can't.

click on the thing on the bottom. No, you can't. And it's not like it would be PayPal.com slash opi radio. So, I mean, that makes sense in order to put it there. But you've got slashes and random letters and numbers and stuff like that. Like, who's... He also, if you notice, he cut it off. He trimmed it in the hopes that just what would be passable as an accidental mistake would

fuck it up. Because there's four little boxes in the corner that you're supposed to scan. And you can only really see three there. and I only learned that with an iPhone, you can actually take a screenshot and then touch the screenshot, and it will open it up. I never knew that. So Ron's Venmo, it turns out you don't have to take a photo with your phone,

you could actually do a screenshot while you're watching, and then click on it and they'll open up his Venmo. I didn't know that either. That's news to me. But what Eric was talking about is Opie's URL that's scrolling across the bottom. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm going to read it to you. I've muted the video.

Let me read this to you. It says, PayPal.com slash NCP slash payment slash J-A-N-C-G-H-F-W-7 G-J-H-A. Good luck. Give me money. You're supposed to have, you only put online or in that kind of advertisement, what they call vanity URLs.

So that you put it up there so that it relates to your image, your branding, whatever, and it's simple to remember. putting that out there does no good, won't help at all. And then the fact that it's moving. The fact that it's like a train you have to catch and then wait for it to come back around. For example, Eric Nagel, fight the dabbler.com

redirects to the GoFundMe if you want to help us fund the lawsuit that John brought to us. See, I had that scrolling in the bottom. Vand of the URL redirects. If I ever get a Venmo, I'll say, thank you. I haven't had the opportunity. No one's... Oh, this is so shitty

right here because we all know that people have Venmoed Ron. So you gotta wonder, like, what's the angle here? Just not being grateful at all? This guy broadcasts for three dozen people at a time and he's concerned.

He's not making enough money from us. It's wild. Do you think Ron's lying? He's just using it as like a way to hype it up. If I ever got one, maybe I would talk about it. I'm going to want Adam opine on this one because I don't know the answer. And I think Adam studied it more than I have.

I can't say yet. We're all going to have to figure this out together. But I do think right now at this point, because Opie keeps saying, you made $37. You made $57. And he's been saying that way past the point where we know for a fact he's been sent at least $500 or a little less. So that's why either Ron doesn't know. or he's hyping it up with Opie. Yes.

It's one or the other. I'm leaning towards the former. Tell me anything. All these money bags. All we need is Venmo Ronnie up there. We're going to donate a lot of money. Are you? Are you?

Because I know how much Ron brought in and you're a bunch of liars. I don't do. You're lying through your teeth. You're lying. I had the theme song. Moving on up. To the side. I finally have a piece of the power.

But no, I have to stay in my fucking basement and fucking Astoria. So I mentioned on WTP on Wednesday that I sent Ron Money, producer Chris sent Ron money. Chris Primer sent me the receipt of $250. I got a note today from a certain doctor that some of us know pretty well, who sent me the receipt. He said $201. Wow. And that was back on June 19th.

That's before this happened. Well before this happened. So we're talking about literally hundreds of dollars have come in to Ron. And you just heard him say, I've gotten nothing. And he's crying about it. These fucking assholes and Opie's going, oh, money bags. So they would give you money. And then they didn't.

It's enraging. What if, if this, as we're trying to figure this out, what? I just saw that PayPal has the thing where you can request payment or request a refund for a payment that you made. If he's saying that he's not getting all this stuff, what's to stop everyone out there that made legitimate donations to file the thing to request the money back? Yeah. And then, well, we hear about that on the next stream that they're getting flooded with this.

Or does Opie bring it up that we're getting or I'm getting flooded with requests for Ron payments. That's interesting because there's two possible scenarios, as Adam pointed out. Ron is confused, doesn't realize money's coming in, or they have this little meeting behind the scenes. They're like, hey, let's act like no money's coming in and let's fuck with everyone and see if we can get even more money doing it that way. If the latter is the case, then it would be hilarious if everyone took their money back.

If the former is the case, I feel bad because Ron's just an idiot who doesn't understand on a look into his Venmo, he doesn't get the email notifications that say, hey, by the way, someone gives you money. But you got to sign it out, you know? That's true. That is very true. Well, this was on Tuesday. Fast forward to Friday.

And people are like, why is this an emergency episode? Oh, there's a reason. It's because we're grifters and we're grifting. But also, we have new content to share. with you. That's very important. And my buddy, Adam, was in the chat watching the show Friday morning. A big FU Friday.

And it started out, as it normally does, with typical show formats, FU, Who Demand. Who Demand? I feel like is being neglected lately. I'm not getting enough who to man content. We could use some positivity, you know? Right. Yeah. Like, seriously, like, who is demand? And maybe, uh, maybe, Tony P has an idea.

Well, do you have one, Ron? Anything come to mine? I didn't prepare who the man. I prepared. I have one. All right, go ahead. Tony. Who demand? You demand, Ope. Thank you, brother. For saving the life.

Thank you, for saving a life. For doing absolutely. For doing that. A little fucking right up your ass. Yeah, that's why I'm starting to like Mondays with Tony more and more because he comes on this thing. And he's your ass. He's nice.

He's, he has empathy. Because he's your little white ass. He acknowledges talent. He acknowledges me being a two-time hero. I have enough you. Opie laughs it up too. It really does encourage these guys to just praise him as much as possible. Could you imagine?

Hope he ever just being like, nah, come on. Not me. What else you got? That's silly. Ope's like, yeah, yeah, that's right. I have a hero. I have the man. And I forget about that.

He always does this divide and conquer kind of thing. Yeah. Not like in a psychological way where you're doing it behind the scenes that the others don't know and then it builds up and, you know, you can control the situation. He does it in front of them thinking that it's going to rally the troops or rally everybody else to step up their game while doing this show. Ron's already saying it's because he kisses your ass. that's why you like him right now because he kisses your ass. And that's why Tony will get the invite. I know that was a thing for a while.

Ron wanted to come out to his beach house, but OPE has no interest in any of that. I don't blame him. He's been burnt a few times by inviting people out to his beach house as we all know. True, yeah. He's very protective of all of that stuff. I'm also curious about what is on his face. Oh, you noticed that.

He's going to get into that. Yes. It's nothing. Why would you even notice that? It's nothing. Why would you be such a hater? All right. There is a thing going on there.

You know, Opie said something recently on his show that he was talking about how crazy Stephen Colbert's staff is. 200 people there. Why would you need that many people? You only need two monologue writers and a key grip and you're good. And he mentioned on that show, he goes, you know, when the opening up the staff got bigger and bigger, it became more problematic. And Eric, do you have any thoughts about that?

It did, but it wasn't necessarily the staff 100% of the time. I'd say the staff was about 20% of maybe some of the internal issues on all of that. And then a good other portion might be directed elsewhere, you know, within the, I'm not the boss, but I'm the boss. kind of leadership plan that was going on there? I saw people saying that maybe like because Opie would pit people against each other on the show and the staff. Like maybe that was part of the problem with having more staff members. You have more internal fighting because OPE's getting them to fight with each other. Right.

Well, having a bigger staff means you get more done. It means you have more resources. You have more outlets, more connections to other things. if he thought it was like, oh, he just needed two people. Some shows run on just two people, but then they're never talked about. Nobody remembers them. They don't get the notoriety on some of those things.

When you have a staff that, look, you can get celebrities to come in, but you also have a staff that can generate content within the show, outside of the show, do events, things along those lines. Those are the shows that get popular. Those are the shows that get remembered. And then you could just walk in. and not have to do anything but look at today's paper and then all the prep work is done for you that you don't look at.

Yeah. Yeah. That sounds like a pretty sweet gig. It is. I've been accused of having that gig before. That'd be nice. I wouldn't complain. So let's bring up Ron's Venmo.

Because the one thing we know about Ron's Venmo and people complain about this in the super chats is that there's a QR code in the corner, but people don't know how to use that if they're watching the show on their phone. and so it wouldn't be nice like Opie's PayPal scrolling across the bottom to have Ron's PayPal address

scrolling across the bottom so you'd be like oh I want to give 20 bucks to Ron the waiter oh there it is and Opie didn't do that he didn't set that up for him on Friday's FU Friday

but he's a very valid excuse for that getting Venmo Ronnie together on the bottom I'm on the bottom get it bro there's it do it! There's Van Mo Roddy. I didn't do it.

What? You promised me I'd be on the bottom with you. Oh, right. Oh, you're a bottom. You don't like that. You promised. I forgot, Ron. Instead, it says support Opie Radio

podcast with my PayPal at the bottom. I forgot, Ron. I'm sorry. He seems very sorry. Yep. I have a feeling that there's a very valid reason where I wouldn't be able to just type that into the little scroll bar thing

before the show started or do it now on the fly i'm sure there's a really good reason for that i was fighting mosquitoes yesterday i've a good that's good that's true fighting just battling mosquitoes sure we've had some unseasonably humid and a lot of rain so the mosquitoes are everywhere so i was battling mosquitoes right i but you know what next time you're live you're going to be scrolling on the bottom like a rock star all right i'm being treated like a bottom dweller right now you're being treated by a, like a bottom feeder, like a lobster. That's your bottom dollar that tomorrow, there'll be some. By the way, you're fired.

What the fuck was that? He just heard the word bottom and started singing from Little Orphan Annie. Yeah, Opie heard rock and he tried to go for rock lobster, but he stumbled it. So he had to just catch it on the fly and try and do something. He's just trying to help out a friend. Leave him alone. These guys make podcasts it looks so difficult.

It's crazy. There's no chemistry here at all. Are you going to point out that I think it was because of you pointing it out on the show that OB changed his URL from all of those letters to just OB Radio.

Because you pointed it out and then the next day he changed it. So while he was in there changing it, he had no time to switch it over to Ross. Time to add in. By the way, if you want to met Mulrani, it's at Ronald dash Berman dash 9. Yeah.

Now, it's never appeared on the show ever. We don't know what that is. Yeah. For months and months and months, Ron, get the Venmo. Ron, get the Venmo. We want to help you. Well, here it is. Here it is.

Oh, oh. The Venmos up. Jesus Christ, Ron, we are trying to like you and support you, man. You're being such a douchebag. But do you see what's happening? Eric, do you see this? Opie told him for a year. They're just going to fuck with you

It's all a setup to embarrass you or steal your info Or humiliate you in some way And Opie's going, see, I told you And I think Ron believes him If he doesn't see that money coming in Then I think he believes him And everyone's just like, ha ha We told him we give him money

And now we're just watching him Sing the Jefferson's theme I think he misspoke It's not like see I told you It's see I'm doing that I'm doing exactly everything I told you bad Was going to happen to you I'm doing that to you.

Yeah, I know what you mean, Adam. It does seem like Opie wanted this to fail. He's overtly trying to make it fail. Like, we've been watching this ever since. He thinks he's above them. Yeah, ever since, at least this VEMO came out. Ope's been going to go, like, yeah, see, you guys said you're going to give money. No one's doing shit.

And I think it's backfired on him because people are giving him lots of money. I know for a fact, because I'm getting the receipts of my email. He's getting lots of money. And so now they have to double down on, and the thing we can't figure out, we have to discover, and we're going to have more clips to figure this out because Adam was in the chat, Adam was participating in this, and thank God he's asking for answers. We have to figure out, is Ron lying or is Opie lying? Because one of them is lying.

This has backfired before. Anytime he's tried to do anything involving money and Ron, wasn't there a thing for Valentine's Day that you covered? Oh, yeah. Where he said he would double the amount and then, Adam came in with hundreds of dollars. And Mike Boudet came in with hundreds of dollars. Right at the end. That's great.

Yes. It's always backfires out. He's like, see, I told you, Ron, no one liked you. It's like, oh, shit, people like you. Fuck. And I got these guys are like, you know, F, O, I want to, I want to donate to Ron directly. And then, you know, these people, what, they gave you $27 so far. Wow.

Ooh. Yeah. That's offensive. That's offensive. People give you $27. This is on Friday. This is two days ago. He's claiming $27 came in through his Venmo.

We know for a fact, hundreds of dollars have come back to this Venmo. Which is nothing to sneeze at. Ron deserves zero dollars. He provides nothing to anyone. And here we are, giving it money out of the goodness of our hearts. So Ron claims he hasn't seen anything that he's gotten zero. OPE is saying that they gave you $27. And you all know for a fact with receipts that he's received several hundred dollars in donations or whatever to pay.

Yes. PayPal, Venmo, whatever it is. Yeah, that's very sketch. There was a big lull the first day when he announced it that might have been real when no one, you know, you need their last four numbers of their phone number, last numbers. you need their email or you need their handle. And Opie gave us none of those the first day he announced it. So there was a lull until people on their own figured out it was Ronald Berman 9. And eventually in this episode forced him to acknowledge that.

So the next episode, everyone's like, what is it? What is it? And Opie said, see, they're fucking with you. They're trying to steal your info. And I think Ron believes him. I don't think he knows how Venmo works. I think he's like, I did the thing. And now they're saying they need my email.

They must be trying to hack me, and Opie keeps validating that. Yep. That's right. And you're putting your money where your mouth is. You know how Barrister gives you money? You know, Barriser gives you money to go, Ron's, you know, Ron's a giant poo-poo head. Yeah. You know how Barrison does that?

Yeah. It's happening. I'm getting, I'm getting money. Yeah. So they can be negative about you. It's crazy. Wow. The obsessed losers, that's good.

Ron, enjoy that. Enjoy all of that. Obsessed losers. So he is getting money. Yeah, that changed quickly, didn't it? Ron, first it's like, no one's giving him money. And then Ryan goes, yeah, people are giving me money. They're like, yeah, fuck, Opie. Here's $200 bucks.

He's like, oh, obsess losers. We know a lot of people have written things like for working with your hard boss, for all that you do for the difficult time you have when they write Ron. I mentioned OP in my donation to Ron. I did. That is true. So a lot of us have done that. And then Opie turns into obsessed losers.

Is it possible, Greg? People can be critical of you because you're terrible at this. And you have been since you started podcasting in 2018. Would it be possible they're not obsessed losers? They just go, jeez, you're really bad at this. You're not going to get any better. I don't know. Just throwing it out there.

What's, uh, what, oh, oh, oh, so what, what you're saying, what you're saying is that. Let's shift gears a little bit. As we know, Opie's off the sugar. Eric, I don't know how you would handle this, but Opie doesn't eat full boxes of Oreos anymore. He doesn't have a pint of ice cream at night. He's done this several times. There was it, like in the last year and a half at Sirius, he was trying to do special, um, uh, documentary. discussion episodes. And he had for two really big, sorry, my mic's short now, two really big

sugar documentaries that were out around those times, 2016, 17, somewhere in there. And he had the, the star director, whatever, for the documentaries on.

And he tried doing it each time. And then he would say, like, oh, you all should be doing this too. It's like, just because you eat fucking kashi. and yogurt and all this other shit that's making him bloat and giving him in abdominal pains and all this other shit. He thinks he's being healthy because he walks around telling everybody that's

what he eats and, oh, you guys are eating, you know, you guys are getting sandwiches and chicken fingers and all this other stuff. Yeah, he wants that shit, but he won't ever eat it. He's tried this several times and he's miserable like anybody else would be when they tried doing that kind of stuff. But this isn't the first time he's tried to do this. I don't know why he's putting himself through it again. Well, I don't know why either. Maybe it's because he's at the dating sites.

And he's trying to slip down and look his best. I don't know. Got it. That makes sense. Actually, that makes... That's probably why. But I do know that it's affecting his mood quite a bit. He's very short-tempered with people.

He's very ordinary. And so he's having a conversation with Tony P about not eating the sugar. And Tony P, I don't know if you guys know this, is a sex machine. Tony P is fucking. Him and his wife are at it. And so Tony P. tries to compare like Opie's sugar cravings to jerking off instead of having sex.

And so he gets it. Your craving. It won't satisfy your craving. Yes, it will. No, it doesn't. It's like jerking off when you need to fuck. It's not going to satisfy your craving. It'll get you.

I don't know, man. A good jerk. It takes care of some. Yeah, especially if you're in one of those salt. I do. I do love opi who probably hasn't gotten late in years and years. He goes, I don't know, man. A good jerk is kind of all you need.

You have the house all to yourself. You're staring out of the... He's on the fence about everything. This he is. He's all in on. This is the first. I'm just like, oh, time out, Donnie. I got to call you on this bullshit.

And his voice got real low. Oh, you're absolutely right. Oh, that's true. No, it's like jerking off when you need the fuck. It's not going to satisfy your craving. You don't get you. I don't know, man. A good jerk who takes care of it.

Yeah, especially if you're in one of those saltwater like hyper, hyperbaric chambers. With children and you're just not getting late. I'm a married man. I do just fine. I do just fine, but a good jerk and definitely is nice. What does just fine mean? Like once a week? Great question, Ron.

Mm-hmm. You know, Suttering John tries to be. Howard Stern. We watch this all the time. Do you do anal? You know, what do you do? This is a Howard Stern question, but delivered perfectly. You do just fine. What does that mean once a week? How often you and your wife, uh, going at it? And watch Opie's response to this. He's uncomfortable.

Like married couples, what do they do once a week now? It's none of your business, you perv. No, just matter. We're all friends. It's not your business. How many times do you? Well, how about Tony? Tony, how many times do you make love to your wife a week? How many times do your rooming? Make the red, Ron.

How many times you do boom, boom? Listen, making love is a process. Making love is a process. There's a whole process to make a love. But having sex, it depends on the week. If we're pissed off at each other, we don't. But then at the end of the week, when you make up with each other, then it's fucking if you're not pissed off.

Is it once a day? I love that Tony P's like, I got this one. I'll be. Let me explain how often married couples fuck where it's like that wasn't the question Tony we know you're a sex hound and you're hot a f and you and your wife are constantly doing it we were asking about opi over here like what's what's his deal I hope he's not answered that question he's offended by it actually no there was never once a day even when we were going out I mean I want the day I mean once a day

on vacation but once a day considered too much sometimes listen sometimes I'll bang my wife He never had a girlfriend, really? I mean, that doesn't seem like a lot. You haven't been with a girl in 10 years. Like, you need to live through us. The fact is, the Tony's point, there's making love and there's having sex. And both can be fine. That's it.

Sounds like a guy they were talking about. Yeah, some of you guys doesn't get late. Don't even talk about it all. What's going on right now? Not even getting late. Like, he, whenever these normal marriage or, like, man, man, woman, questions come up, he's like an alien. He has no normal response

to any of it, and he got really, really angry. Is there any proof that Ron hasn't gotten late in 10 years? Like, yeah, was that odd? It seems like a projection. You haven't got a pussy in 10 years, Ron. Let me explain to you. But he's a waiter and a comedian living in Astoria. Like, he's meeting people every night. He's not holed up in some

like bunker like you. Like, for God's sake, I really don't think so. He probably doesn't get laid, but still. Did you hear him say earlier that jerking off in one of those hyperbaric chambers like look Ron can't afford anything so he can't afford

one of those personal chambers he goes to a public facility to rent time in those chambers and jerks off in those things that's like going I've been those flow takes before I assume that they haven't been jerked off in I just assume that they haven't been jerked off it

if they have I wouldn't go in it that sucks I don't like the sound of that So he does that. He goes to a place that you can rent time in one of these chambers and jerks off in them. Do you bring your hat at some point? Do you bring your phone in with you? Do you watch porn up? Like, that's a weird thing.

That's a weird place to jerk off. I got to be out. I know you're naked by yourself, but it's a weird place to jerk off, I think. All right, let's get back to the Opie part of that. Yeah, no, I feel like Ron's just trying to turn Opie's reaction into some kind of normal morning radio conversation. Right. Like he quickly went from like, no, it's like a married guy. Because that would be a boring, typical morning radio question.

Married versus single. Who's getting late more? And Opie's going to react like that? Like that? Like, what the fuck you're asking me for? Yeah, that was weird. What are you? A pervert?

He called him a pervert. He said he fucks his wife. It's like, you're not like watching. He's not over the bathroom stall watching you while you went to the bathroom. He's not a pervert. You're not allowed to talk about him. You're not allowed to inquire about him. Anything that might be even deemed personal to him is a,

offensive or off the limits. But meanwhile, he can throw it all back at everybody else and hear all that stuff. Look, he worked on a show where his two co-hosts didn't have to be asked about that. They would willingly bring up this nonsense. Embarrassing things about their past. If it tied into something, if it was a slow news day, Jim would bring up such horrific stories, but hilarious about, you know, things involving his life and his sex life and what have you. Anthony would bring up stories as well. he never brought stuff up except the one time that he was laying in his

apartment it might have been Rochester or buffalo where somebody broke in and he thought he was going to get raped because the guy thought he was a girl and then saw that it was a guy and turned around and left you ever hear that story I don't remember no but that sounded like he was disappointed yeah right yeah that's what everyone else said it sounds like he's got his legs up over his hat he's like hey where you going yeah no I once had somebody break into my apartment very late night and I never once had that thought. I had a lot of them but that was not

I didn't even think it was an option. You were going for a baseball bat, not a condom. Honestly, yeah, it was not like... Yeah, that's very strange. Just last week, they asked him like, oh, you and your wife do date night and Opie was like, no, I don't believe in that. He hated that.

It's like just such a non-human reaction to a normal question. Yeah. Do you guys like, since you've had kids, you probably like set aside a night of the week that you just go out without the kids that's gross it has to happen organically without us talking about it I guess or you can just like

make dinner reservations what the fuck is wrong with you but I guess if she's buried somewhere it's great with that too what's that yeah Eric I said well you know he's had a hard time with dinner reservations because that's intrusive that's an invasion of privacy to to narrow him

down to some sort of commitment yeah like hey we should be there Saturday at 5 p.m. to get I don't No, I got to, I'm piecing everything together. I'll let you know when I know. That's hilarious. It's not that hard. Supertip.g.

We have a lot more to get to from Friday's FU. Friday with the Opster. Ruppled Trenchcoat, a Colombo podcast. Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow creeps in this pety pace from day to day to the last syllable of recorded time. It is a tale told by an idiot full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. Who are you calling an idiot?

Pest says, how did you get Patrick Tomlinson on, Carl? That's actually Eric Nagel from at it's Eric Nagel on YouTube. Are you still employed another lot of layoffs at the IR radio? Kind of. I'm semi-employed at the moment. Yeah, there was layoffs going into the holidays that affected my New York stuff, but they still carry my show. I'm sorry to hear that.

Gotta be nice. It got to still have to be nice for a little bit longer. Reno Taco Sales Jerry coming in. I'll defer to Adam, but growing up in New York City, I was made aware of a rare subhuman class of beings exiting Penn Station known as Flids, aka fucking Long Island Dix. Opie might be their vampire lord. Yeah, we called them the bridge and tunnel crowd.

The bridge and tunnel crowd. Everyone had a name for him. Weren't you a Flid, though? You grew up on Long Island. Absolutely. Piece of shit. Okay. And rightly so. Rito Taco sells Jared.

I don't know if I've seen you before or Terry. It's good to see you, buddy. Thank you. Uh, whip coming in. Carl, as someone that is familiar with the art of pilfering other people's money, which is only rivaled by DSP, why would Opie have access to that Venmo to begin with other than to keep Ron in the dark? I'm not sure with the first.

part of that question had to do with anything, but I think that Opie might have access to the Venmo. To answer that question directly, Opie told Ron that they were going to try and steal his info if he didn't do it correctly, and that Opie had to set it up for him. And Opie spent

weeks setting this up for him. Well, then Ron set it up, and Opie goes, I need to look at this before we put it out on the podcast, and that was another couple weeks. That was another set of weeks. And then he finally got it so that there's no info on it at all or signifiers

except for that code. That's wild. Colin Mann says Opie's filter makes him look like a poor express character despite his brown lips. Also Colin Potter said to scrub up for surgery Hawkeye. Colonel Potter. Thank you.

It's a match reference. I'm an idiot. Jason Rodini, Greg thinks he's sticking it to the haters. I know. Lilal says, get to the Venmo point. Opie is as dumb as dumb as Nagel. Is that true? I'm not financially struggling, no. I'm good.

Locks and docs. I also sent $20 a few days ago. There you go. People are keep sending money to Ron and he couldn't be less appreciative. He's such an asshole. So what you just said, are you implying or at least pondering the possibility that the Ron account might be run by somebody that isn't Ron? Yeah. Or somebody has access to it. It's one of the possibilities for sure. Okay. Michael C. Where is the Adam Bush Venmo? Oh, we don't show that

on here. Fuck that. Ronald dash 7.9. Supertip. That G.G. slash WattapT.P. At Tony slash Papa Dog. A trickle down to Adam sub. A small percentage.

I'm still waiting. Definitely deed in Australia. It says, Eric, did you pay Aaron $200 per show or $200 in total? $200 per special. Yeah. Chris plus plus Help the Duke

dot com D oh okay yes that is the one to go to Dambling Dean Eric Gino wants the money you promise Keanu she used her

your ridiculous podcast deals an excuse for why Gino couldn't afford to go on a honeymoon I don't pay anybody for those podcast things

that's not my contract I was just the facilitator excuse me I introduced them they made that deal whatever their rev share deal was for the podcast

is between them that I had nothing to do with money good thing too Rick from New York says E to the Rock are you and then on good terms Van

Thand quit like 20 years ago from the show so I have no relationship with them I guess we're fine good to see you Rick next picks says this is tiresome we're finally off the ron birman train if we were ever on the train to begin with stop giving these losers money and attention listen if opi is stealing money or holding

money or simply lying to us about how much we've given i think it's kind of a big deal i do too because yeah it's illegal there's that yeah there's that part of that yeah but it's also like wild that this is where OP would be because we know he's desperate for money. He recently set up that like fund my dental work grift. Yeah. Yeah. And I don't use the word

grift lately. I don't like that word. But that's like a weird one. It's like, hey guys, I got to get my tooth replaced. So give me money for that. Yeah. Huh? That's weird. It is very strange. It seems like it shouldn't be directly our problem. Right. That's just me.

Right. Goldfolds. Juan says, Jew hater KB is sniping you. He is pure filth. We love KB over here. We appreciate that we can provide content for him so you can sit there and just go, uh,

stare at us. I hope he'll get back to comedy one day. Dabbling Dean, Adam, why didn't you donate to Shulie's legal fun? Oh, I did. I just misspelled the handle, so I don't know where it went. That happens.

Dabling Dean. Eric's semi-employed Nagel equals podcast ratings, poison. I disagree. I think we have legit numbers now. There's 1,346 people watching the show. Thank you guys for being here. Hit like, hit subscribe.

Thank you for being here. You can participate in the show at Supertip.g.g. slash WATP. Ebenei with five pounds, baby pounds. How long does it take Rick Baker to apply the hideous? Prostasis. Prostasis. Thank you, Adam Bush, to create the character Ron the waiter.

Is that what's happening? Yeah, and you'd think it'd be really easy, but it takes hours. It takes hours. Nancram coming with $25 says, I got nothing. Take some dough. Thank you very much, Nancram. We appreciate you very much. All right, let's get back to the package, as they would say,

we're on the Shui network, which I believe is live right now, but don't check. It doesn't matter. Opie talking about the dentist. Let's find out why he's got these sores out his lip, because I think you noticed that, Eric. What's going on there? Because, you know, I mean, these these bitches notice everything. Yes, F you to my dentist, yes, yes, you see that, yes.

Hold on, did people comment on it? Of course they do. Because Opie's like, oh, he hope he's like, don't bring it up. I'm like, they're going to notice it. Opie paid $2,000. They're going to notice it. Don't worry. Opie paid $2,000.

But obviously they care enough, so I got to now address the fact that that you have an incompetent dentist. is what you have. F here to my dentist. Yeah. So I wasn't going to bring it up, but I shaved and now it's insanely obvious. It's insanely obvious. Yeah, Rod's like,

yeah, let's talk about your lip. And I'm like, no, I don't want to talk about my lip, right? No, I thought the wife gave my back hand. So let's talk about your lip. I thought the one. It was like upside down, Joaquin Phoenix.

That is a wild scarring's guy going underneath this. his bottle up there. I'm trying to figure out what his dentist did that would have caused that. Well, that's a good question. So we're going to get to the bottom of that in this next clip. He's going to explain what precisely happened. Because I've never left the dentist with a scar like that before. Or maybe that's why I have a beard.

You'll never know. Well, he's trying to pry this fucking temporary off. He's like, this is a little stubborn. I'm like, and the tool is pushed all the way on my lip right here. All the way. This is a wedge between the tool. pulling your tooth and he's just fucking crunching your lip. And then he goes, oh, this is stubborn.

And then he put that, whatever the magic, what is that? Is it a laser that melts the bonding or something? So he goes, oh, let me do a little more of this. And then he puts the porcelain on and somewhere in there, he goes, I'm sorry, it pinched you. And I was like, I felt pressure, but, you know, we're over it now, right? By the time I got home, but after I paid the second thousand, it was $2,000 to get a nice mark of my face and a fucking fake half a tooth in my mouth.

By the time I got home, I had a deep purple bruise perfectly where the tool was, was a week later. It sounds like a week later. Do you have a picture of it like brand new? Oh, swollen? Well, you know, I'm not going to lie. I'm not going to lie to the people. You know, I'm a bit vain at times.

So I'm like, ah, it was a dark purple. And I'm like, looking at my wife. I can't go I can't do a live stream looking like this. Oh, I'll pause real quick because I see a celebrity in the chat. L.I. Clans says you, you loseers need to get a life. I am seeing more and more people say that they think this is Opie.

Of course, Emily thinks this is Opie. I only talks to this person on a daily basis. Eric Nagle, any thoughts? Do you think that Opie has a sock account that everyone's discovered? It continues to comment on every show. It is every subred is. Discord server on the planet? I'm sure he does

but I don't, unlike other people, I don't think he's smart or dumb enough to be using that account to defend himself and other things because everyone who does that trips up and everyone who does that gets caught as we've seen throughout the doubt of the people

who have. According to the people who think that this is is Opie, he has been caught and he keeps doing it anyway as if he's hiding in plain sight or something. Let me ask you, LaClan. Because nobody here is saying that this is the highest form of entertainment. In fact, that's kind of the joke, like making an emergency show about somebody's lip or about, you know, somebody's Fenmo. That is kind of the thing we love is over-analizing stupid, stupid things.

But that being said, what would be the difference between us criticizing this broadcaster's face or Opie's monologue about squishy face making Kelly? Would you say that's something that he would need to get a life or just us? Or is it really the same thing? I'll wait. I'll wait. How old weights? Where is Tommy Jordan when you need him? Anyway, I love the people think that that's Opie for some reason.

It's very funny. So Opie's dentist has, you know, those pliers apparently that he uses. They're to hold his tooth in place. You'll be a dentist. Remember what do you go? He went to get like a mole removed and they dropped acid on spitz. That's right. Holy shit.

I forgot about that. This guy is the worst. luck with medical procedures. There's no way. It's so crazy. He's got some kind of deficiency. If he, if he's still doing what I remember him doing, going out into the beach, just he'd never put on sunscreen or any of that stuff. So you know he's got sun damage, aging skin, all of that stuff. So just like he's got like hyper-color skin now. If you just touch him, give it a few seconds, his skin changes colors and he's got a bruise. All right. So again, just to address this, because multiple people think this is actually

Opie, he would not be right, you need to get more original and stop stalking. If this was actually Opie, he would never write that, it'd be retarded. And Opey's not retarded and he's an idiot. It's a very different thing. Because he always says, I don't watch those things. I don't know what's going on.

That's always been his, his M.O. when it comes to things like that. I think he doesn't watch a lot of this stuff. Eric, am I crazy to think that he's not stalking subredits? I think he sees a little bit. I think he saw, when we criticize how he can make more money off his PayPal and he changed the labeling. I think he seems to address the things we talk about the next day.

I think to some degree, he is taking it in because he's still obsessed with people talking about him. And we're the ones talking about him. He gets tagged on, I mean, we don't get as much as we used to. But when there's things shitting on him or Anthony, they like tag the entire show for some reason on social media so that we all see it. So I've seen a lot of stuff that he gets tagged in that's videos of you guys or other people shitting on them or whatever comments on. So he sees all of this stuff. Listen, he sees WATP because there's no way we're not in its algorithm. If you go on YouTube and he does, we're showing up there.

And he's clicked on videos because his face is showing up right of the thumbnail. And he's clicked on it. And so YouTube goes, he likes this content. So he's seeing every time I post an Opie clip, which is twice a week. week, maybe three times a week. There's no way he's not seeing this. I just have a hard time believing. Maybe I'm naive. Maybe I'm an idiot.

That he's in the ONA forum that still exists or in Anthony Coomius subreddit or the WATP subreddit. And he's sitting there like typing away and arguing with people. That can't be opi. There's no way. He can't let a regular chat go on his show. He can't let it go. It's just like stuttering John.

And, you know, what people say about point-dabble point is how come there's no one taking John's side? And it's like, we have looked. We cannot find them. If it's not Opie, who is defending him? If it's not a joke or a troll. It's a joke and a troll. Who's defending him?

It's a joke and a troll. I mean, that's what it is. Because if you're communicating with Emily every day, then this is like what you're doing for fun. You know what I mean? You're not like actually being like, oh, Emily, I'll tell you, you dump it. You know what I mean? It'd be wild.

It would be a wild existence. All right. I'm sorry. I got the stretch. I'll get back to it. I told you today it would be loose today. It's a fun time. I can't do a live stream looking like this.

Are you wearing makeup? No, I swear I didn't. I swear it in. But the purple, the initial bruise did go away by the next time we live stream, which was three days later. Do you have a picture of the initial purple bruise? I don't think so. I would love to do.

That was a weird response when Ryan goes, did you wear makeup? I swear, I swear I didn't. Yep. That's a weird response. There was a moment in time when I was being accused of wearing makeup, which is ridiculous. I look terrible. And I'm just like, okay, that's funny. The people think I'm wearing makeup.

Instead of John, like, accused me of that to my face. We had a one-on-one. He's like, oh, you're probably wearing makeup. Like, what part of this looks like I'm wearing makeup? I didn't say, I don't know. I swear, I swear I'm not wearing makeup. Yeah, when you're that defensive. It's weird.

over something so insignificant, then you go, oh, you're lying. Okay. Yeah. Over something that any professional broadcaster would say, oh, of course. Yeah. Of course. I'm on TV. If you did have like a-

And I'm 60 years old. Like, yeah, I'm wearing a little makeup. I want to do this for a living. Like I'm wearing, there are bright lights and HD cameras on me, even in my own. I'm wearing a little makeup. What else? You should too, Ron. Opie's been on network television multiple times.

I'm sure he hadn't. makeup applied. He knows how that works. It wouldn't be a crazy thing. It's just so you're not shiny with the light reflecting off oily skin or something. That's it. It's not that big a deal. He's such a little baby. He thinks it's cool to like be blurry or to have like Vaseline on the Lent or literally be in the dark to hide how ashamed he is of how he looks rather than just put on some makeup and turn on the lights. That's always been his thing is that he has to be anti whatever the situation is. Oh, you're doing that. No, I'm doing this thing over here. Okay, well, no one's coming over there to talk to you and hang out. So enjoy doing that by yourself. Yeah, you guys, they all do that, but I do this. Yeah, that's why your stuff looks like shit.

That's why your stuff sounds like shit. That's why nobody wants to do anything over there because people want to put an effort and try to make something good. And he doesn't want to do that. Yeah, he's like Nixon at the debate. How did that go from Nixon? He's did that right? Worked that well for him? He'll make up for me. So there's this guy in the check. and him and Opie have a complicated relationship. Opie's not sure how to deal with them. And so it starts off with, you know, Opie gets very defensive and angry,

even though people are giving him money. I wanted to strangle spikes a mere 15 minutes ago, and now I want to invite him to the beach house. He just gave more money. Look, I'm here to pay on rent. He said he sent you some. Venmo money too, right? Thank you.

I'll check later. Now I feel like a fucking asshole. I'm like, oh, this spike. He's annoying me. He's telling me I dress like Fletch every day. Try to be funny. You just slashed him. What he's saying there is?

This guy was chatting him regularly, having a normal conversation, commenting on the show, and then he's been saying once a show something about how Opie reminds him of Fletch, or he dresses like Fletch, the Chevy Chase character.

And Opie reads that as like a pointed insult meant to throw him off his game. And he keeps going back and forth between whether he likes this guy or doesn't. So Fletch played a homeless beach bum at a certain point because he was undercover trying to uncover this. I don't want to get into the whole plot of Fletch. There's a lot going on there. Oh, no, take me through it. But what happens is he's ready for a newspaper. He's wearing a shirt that's the same color as his skin.

the same color as his hair. That's the same color as the background. Like, I don't know if Spikes crypt in the chat is necessarily a comedy writer. He's just pointing out a commonality that maybe you can riff with him on since he's been giving you a lot of money. But no, you took it as a deep insult to your character. Yes. Unfortunately, open doesn't have thick skin and can't roll with the punches. And so he's having a hard time with this guy who likes him and is giving him money.

I feel bad. Spikes is back. He's been making the flush joke day after day. I finally said, all right, I'll give him some time on the big screen. I didn't get it because I don't think I dress crazy or anything. And then I went after Spikes. And then he's coming back to me saying, just a joke. Sorry, Ope, love you.

I'm a true fan. Now I feel bad. By the way, he's such a true fan. He's using my face. I feel bad. Spikes. Spike has good taste. I have a suggestion for Fridays.

I think we should, like, invite one fan a week on for Fridays. And if they're just idiots, you just get rid of them. All right, Tom, thanks. You mean we'll get our own stuttering, John. I'm just wondering. You're annery today. Whoa. Roddy's paying attention.

Yeah. First off, TOTP, horrible suggestion. I love the way I'm now responded out. We're not something else to link, idiot. Definitely not. In fact, OPA used to sound at the link, and it turned into the best show he's ever done with floating potato.

and corn and puppets. It's great. We don't do that anymore. So then Ron goes. So we'll get our own stuttering John. How deep is Ron going into the dabbler and verse? Ron doesn't have anything to do outside of work. Right.

He has no gigs. He's not doing anything. I was talking about the YouTube algorithm earlier. You think Ron's out following all of this? Yeah, he's going down the wormhole all of this stuff. For sure. And he did say something like, I'll check the Venmo later. Mm-hmm.

which either means he'll check it or hope he will check it for him we don't know right right today i woke up so because you got a pinch lip i got a pinch lip i got a pinched lip in your mouth i will say this i don't and this is the god's honest truth this is where it confuses people i don't mean i don't none of this means anything in the end i'll turn us off and i'll be happy i'm happy that people are watching these things i'm happy that people uh you know uh feel the vibe of the show and and go at us i love all All of it, Spikes. All right.

All right. This gave us more money. Spikes. How about, can you do, can you give me a Venmo? Ron. You know, we would know if Spike gave me money if I was on the bottom. All right. You're being a little bit.

You're being a little big. No surprise that the, is being a little baggie. What? What was that? Wow. All of a sudden, remember Obie was encouraging this? Roddy's Venmo. Uh-huh.

They're all clapping along, like, give money to the run. Why should you give money to run? And then finally, the guy's giving me somebody. And Rob's like, hey, give me some money. And Ope's like, hey, okay, okay, that's, you're being a little ridiculous now, buddy. It's too much. You said now you're being a, he immediately turned into Aaron Imholt when money was on the line. He's like, you're turning into a real Norman Jewison over there.

Look, too. It's hilarious. Spikes writes, $10. Holy shit. If everyone gave us $10, we'd have a great weekend. Sorry, OPE. I've been around since O&A. Timope.

I watch every day for years. I work on the drilling rig in Singapore. Holy shit and make them listen to you. Bro, I feel that. And he's using my face. Spikes. We're good. Spikes.

Hang this up in your locker, Spikes. Tony, it's on a sex thing today. Gay, right. Thank God. Spike's giant comment blocked half your body. Thank God.

Thank God. Tony, are you going to the parade on Sunday? No, but I'm trying to work my only fans into this. I'm doing only a fan only, only fans, whatever the hell it's cool. Wait, aren't you ready for another FU? Yeah, but I want to acknowledge that spikes

is... I hate everything about this. The dynamic here is brutal. Yeah. Tony P. is the hornyest guy I've ever seen on a podcast. It's got to calm the fuck down. I think it's hard to find your angle with Opie. He's just trying to find a lane.

I know. I know. It's impossible. I hope he's very excited. This guy giving him nice. 99. So they all got to talk. It's like it's hard enough that they wait for, you know, the back and forth of one person going, the other person responding, whatever.

But the second there's dead air, they all feel that they've got to jump in and say something because if they're not saying anything, then the show's not good or we're not doing a good enough job. You can have a conversation, let some kind of, you know, moments sit for a little bit and have the back. They don't shut up.

And that's so aggravating. acting. Act like you've been there before. You know, a lot of people are envious of Kevin Brutonoff. He's still watching, but I'll give him some,

some credit here. KB gets a lot of super chats. A lot of super chatters coming in. KB doesn't go like, whoa, 999. Holy fuck. No,

he doesn't have any energy left to do that. So he got a rattle to make noise for him because he would if he could trust me, but he's too sedated. He did the same thing when I asked where his uga-buga-bugoo-wife was. He just started rattling with that thing.

I got it doesn't explain anything. So you got to add like you've been there before if you want the super chance to keep coming in and you want to impress Spike's crypt. Listen, wait, wait, wait, wait, right. Right. He goes, I got a pick of Tony with no shirt, LOL and Buffy. So there you go. Oh, looks like Spice going to have some quiet time with Tony later. Hold on.

We got another Fiver. FU for FU Friday for not adding Ron's Venmo account. Use your name to the top banner next to your PayPal link. Yeah. F you to you? How about that? How about that? Look at this.

Now, Tony's got his Venmo. He wrote it down on a notepad, and he's showing at Tony dash Papa Dogg. Everyone's trying to get out of the act to get some money out of this. There's one bowl of food, and there's three straight dogs. This tiny audience that they have, they're all like, hey, give me somebody over here. But this is a big point that Yehits brought up. F-U Friday, for not adding Ron's Venmo account username to the top banner. Yes.

And Ron was pointing at the screen, soing, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Right. Why is he doing that intentionally? Why is that? Hold on. I can put it on the screen for a second. Jesus. Oh, now, after an hour?

Get the hint. Be nice like Tony. I'll treat you like a king. Oh, my God. Like a king. Yes. Oh, yeah. Hey, Tony, who's your man?

Who's your man of the day? It's you, Opie. Opie's, my man. There's Ron's Ven. There it is for the first time. Opie pulls up his phone and shows that it's at Ronald dash, Berman, dash, 9. We've not seen this until now. Finally revealed, if we wanted to give Ron money, this is how we can do it.

This is PayPal or Venmo? Venmo. Venmo. There you go. Ronald dash, Berman, dash, nine. All right. I gave you three seconds on the big screen there. Oh, but you spoil me.

Listen. Oh, no. I have a quick question about this first chat that came in from Spikes. I got to pick a Tony P with no shirt, L.O.L. and Buffy. Is this a reference to Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Yeah, I think Spike's Crypt. His name is a reference to the most popular character from Buffy with Billy Idol-like vampire name Spike. So I think, who lived in a crypt.

So that would be Spike's Crypt. And he's saying, I got on my wall a picture of Tony. Pete with no shirt and also topless Buffy. I think that's what he's saying. Interesting. L.O.L. There are spoof Ron Berman accounts all over Venmo. I'm seeing Ronald

Ronald dash Berman dash one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve. It's going up to about 20 of different accounts. That's hilarious. They're just hoping to make like five bucks off this thing. It's worth it.

But anyway, I guess my point is, at Spice Crypt, he's giving Opie all this money and working on this in Singapore, you know, drilling for oil or whatever. Do you think maybe he's just Adam Bush fan? I think Opie is slightly hesitant and cautious because of that because he does know the connection and he's pointed out to me. And I think it's part of why even Ron believes Opie that these people are all out to get you and it's all some joke that you don't get and it's all going to, they're all going to laugh at you.

That's Opie. And I think this stuff. doesn't help that, but it's fucking hilarious. Interesting. All right. So Joe Rogan's name gets brought up here. And Opie says something. Eric, when you see this clip, I can't wait to get your response to this.

Okay. Is Joe Rogan blowing Jay Leno? What is happening? I want to point out real quick that, you know, you're showing the chat here. And I see Adam Bush in the chat saying, Opie, it's illegal to run a fake donation scam. So Adam is actively letting Opie know that we shouldn't be stealing money from Ron. I don't get it.

And then, and then Jay Leno says, The reason Joe Rogan is the new Johnny Carson is because there's no FCC to step in and say what you can say and not say. Joe Rogan, wishy-washy, Joe Rogan, who just kind of just dials it in. Your timing stinks. Guess who called me yesterday? That's like a child, Logan in in a minute.

Your time. Oh, Joe Logan did not call you. Jay Leno? You know? Your timing. Who called you? There's no way Joe Rogan called you. All I'll say is your timing stinks.

Wait a minute. We were talking about Joe Rogan yesterday, right? What happened? Your timing stinks. What happened? Tony, get ready to fly to Austin, Texas, being told. Amen. Did he invite you down there, not me?

Your timing. Well, you're just uninvited yourself because you got a big fucking mouth. Your timing, your timing stinks. extinct. I'm in. I'm going. I'm with you. I'll say this much, Brian.

I'll say this much. I'm not a fan of wish you watched you, Joe Rogan. For real. Opie is claiming Joe Rogan called him to book him on the show. Now, it's possible. Joe Rogan would reach out to Opie.

I don't think Joe Rogan does his own booking for his show because I know through my buddy Adam Curry, that's not the case. So it's weird that he'd be like, yeah, Joe Rogan call me, he wants me to come out to Austin, bring one of the guys for my show on with me. That's bullshit.

Yeah, it didn't happen. Especially following it up immediately saying, I'm not a fan. Right. What do you say? Wishy-washy. I'm very critical of Mr. Rogan, but if he'll have me on the show,

I guess I'll make the trip out there and be on it. And he would, even if that were true, he would never have these two with him. No, of course. To go there. Of course. Never. That'd be ridiculous. But it's wild that all of a sudden, in 2026, what was the last time Opie was on Joe Rogan, 2018, 2017?

I don't even know. I don't know. Years ago. So the fact that all of a sudden, Joe Rogan back, it's time to get Opie back on the show is insane. And he continues out about this. He is a superstar in podcasting. Don't like him. I don't like that.

He fucking blew me off, you know, the first chance he got. So he could go fuck himself. He could go F himself for that. When I finally need a slight little favor, he turned his back on me. So look, grateful. Yeah, you're ungrateful, Joe. Can I say something? I understand why you're.

And also, Sarad Small, ungrateful. All these fucking people. helped. I'm grateful. Oh, Charot Small gets brought up. This is wild. So Opie's claimed that he got a call from Joe Rogan to go on his show.

And he's like, this fucking asshole. Didn't he ever in the show when I needed him, the most, which is the most ungrateful thing you could possibly say to anyone at any time. I've had the fortune of going on some shows that I'm

very happy about that have had me on their shows. At no point when I think they owed me another appearance. And I'd be like, I can't fucking believe Dave Landau wasn't flying me out to Austin again. Or Dallas, what the fuck is this guy's problems?

Like, it's amazing. I got to go on the show and if I'm ever blessed to go on a show again, I'm happy for it. What a crazy thing to say. These people are his friends. He's such a douchebag. It's one thing if you were talking about like Bob Kelly or Voss,

right? Yeah. Because yeah, he's had a closer relationship with them than he did any celebrity or somebody of importance that can came on our show, but still thinks that, like, even with Rogan, he was on our show a lot, but they never hung out after the show. Right. Like, they didn't go to dinner.

They didn't go to each other. Well, he thinks he made Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan was already on network television before that. Like, Joe Rogan had a huge career in show business. We helped boost Joe Rogan, right? Sure. He was even on Howard before he was on our show. Howard used to play his clips and stuff like that.

When he was on news radio, right? He was on news radio. He was on Fear Factor. And then because of our show and coming on our show and being friends of the show, he blamed. I'm not blames. He could blame Anthony for it. But he credits Anthony by seeing Anthony's studio at home. And he goes, oh, you can do something like this.

And it built from there. So did we influence him? You can say that, sure. Did we support and boost him? Yes, we did. He said that. We didn't create Joe Rogan. No.

He was a celebrity long before that. Yeah, I don't understand that whole thing. It's like, well, we made you and you don't return the favor. You were never friends with these people. It's all a professional relationship. And the thing where he was like, where was Joe when I needed you? If you remember, he didn't call or text Joe and say, hey, I've got a new deal with Westwood. Do you think maybe we could do something?

Thank you. That's exactly it. You don't go on social media to New York. to try to embarrass or guilt somebody into having you on their platform because if you were friends, you would have texted him. That was a hilarious thing because Joe's coming to New York. Opie does this weird streamer's like, Joe, I messaged you. I told you your show's great. How come?

Why aren't you coming on my show? And then Joe was at compound media the next day on Anthony's show going, dude, what was that all about? I don't fucking know. That's hilarious. the way that went down. In the chat right now, as we're watching these clips, you can see that Anna Bush is saying, hey, you're just skipping superchats.

And you were super chatting about, like, what's the Venmo amount? Why don't you tell us the Venmo? Yeah, you can see what I, number 15 is an image of what I sent to him. So this is, uh, Adam Bush is in there super chatting five bucks. What's the Venmo total so far Ronnie Babes? and people are thumbing that up and chatting about it. There's 57 people in there.

He has multiple streams. This was the busiest one. We saw a sense of how fast it moves. They're all looking at it. You can see it reflected in Ron's glasses. You can see Opie looking at it whenever anyone else is talking. So they are seeing this. And he ignored it, right?

You never showed it? So far. Everyone in the chat saw it. He did not acknowledge it. Oh, good. I got a question. for you. Saw that you were coming to New York City for the UFC and I got excited, haven't seen you in a while. So I DM'd you and I also texted you saying, hey man, why don't you

do the Opio Radio podcast? It'd be great. I also said no pressure if you can't. Also said congrats on the Netflix special, which was awesome. Also said congrats on all the continued success. No pressure, but would love to have you on my podcast. And, uh, you never wrote me back. Oh, no. Huh? Huh? What's that about? I know damn well, there was nothing I've, uh, I've done to you. That would make you not even, uh, respond. So, exhausting. Maybe you could explain why you didn't DM me back or text me back when I asked you to do the Open Radio podcast. Why is he spinning? Spinning.

I do love you and I do miss you. Just want an explanation. Peace. It's like Britney Spears fucking spinning around for no reason. It's so embarrassing because Joe Rowan went on to say like, I've changed my number. So I didn't get the tax. And do you think I got DMs? Joe Rogue is like one of the most famous celebrities of the world.

He's like, oh, I'm sorry I didn't get your DM, Greg. What do you think's happening over here? Yeah. How many times have you? seen late night talk show hosts when they didn't get a certain booking. And, you know, Letterman's out on the street there with Paul circling around Times Square and it's like, hey, you know, we didn't get such a, how come on the show? You have a movie opening up this weekend.

We've been trying for months. So ridiculous. What Opie is doing to Ron is terrible. Should have just gone straight for a credit card instead. Diana Sclands, who has been fucking with me a lot of the chat. He says, just as for Emily, I stand with Emily. at Emily World Order, Diana. I'm with you.

C5, no one. Says, I asked Ron on Instagram for his Venmo, and he showed me the exact same picture that Opie just showed. So he showed Opie with the blurred out, whatever, and just the at Ronald dash Berman dash 9. He might not know how to take a screenshot. That's true. He uses, he streams from his phone, which I think is his only means of reaching the internet, so he can't check it while he's broadcasting. That's funny. so I'm sorry we're getting way sidetracked in multiple directions but you just heard that for whatever reason

Sherrod Small got brought up which is weird that hasn't been brought up in a long time and of course he was a regular on Opie show when he was doing the afternoons on series XM and then he also went over with Opie when Opie's on Westwood One podcasting a couple of episodes and then found out he wasn't getting paid for it and never came back right so Sharra I was just like, I don't need any of this. And Sherrod was paid to be on the, uh, the serious X-M show. $750 an episode. And before we get to Tony's take, did you see how quick, uh, Ron was to believe

Opie's narrative of Sharad is just an ungrateful loser who never, uh, appreciated what you did for him and turned his back on you? Like, he just believes that. As much research as he's doing, he takes Opie's word first. Of course. He's, he's a loyalist, which is great. Tony's got to, amazing Sherrod story. I mean, Tony's

also a stand-up comedian, so they run in similar circles. Charade, I was supposed to drive Charade down one time to Atlantic City so he can headline. I had already headlined in Atlantic City. I was supposed to go as the feature, and he didn't want to come, he wanted to come back the same night. I was like,

no, I'm getting a room with sleeping up. So he canceled his show, and it bumped me up the headline, which was a great fucking show. And now he was on this, this, and now he's no longer on this, and now I'm on So I figure, Sherrod, if you want to know where your career might have gone, you keep watching this because I feel like I'm a step behind him. You know what I mean?

Oh, damn. I don't know anything what he's saying, but it sounds kind of good, right, Ra? That's hilarious. So it means like, I've surpassed Charan because now I'm on Opie's show. And Opie's like, that's not. Charon would not agree with that. He's probably much happier to not be on this show with me, you idiots. Even Opie couldn't get down with that.

It was the one time him giving his co-host nothing was warranted and very funny. It's very funny. It's well done. All right. Where do you want to go next? Adam, I haven't curated these clips. I didn't have time. Oh, we just have a quick example on number 13.

Oh, no, we just saw that. We didn't see 13 yet. Oh, yeah, this is a great example of Tony and Opie's chemistry. Okay, good. You bought me this. You're commenting on this. My wife bought me my shirt last week. Ron had a comment on my shirt.

I don't understand, man. Is my wife dressing me like an asshole so people can comment? What? Good stuff, guys. Opie's not bad at that girl. He is staring at the chat. Opie's a study the jazz. Gets jealous of their friendship and tries to set them up on a date together.

And Opie needs friends, so of course he's into it. Opie, do you want to meet Tony at the Bear Garden for the game? I'm not driving three hours No honestly I would think about it But you're gonna be working the whole time So it's like I sit there at a table like an idiot With Tony And then you come over every once while

And say hi which I'd like but you know No I think you should bring the sun There you know Anybody got any effuse or anything else real Okay There's something going on in the chat Now Adam was muted or blocked or something Yes

How did you get muted I don't know This happened a couple episodes ago I noticed all of my stuff was great And I couldn't send a super chat And I kept hitting This is so sad All the different streams

With Ron's Venmo You know Ronald Berman 9 Ronald Berman 9 And then at some point I was unblocked or unmuted And someone in the chat let me know Hey we see you We see you

So as soon as I got that Is when I jumped in with the Hey what's the total Of the Venmo And I think Ron saw it Because he immediately asked Opie the same question. Well, I see you right here saying

Venmo at Ronald dash Bourbon dash 9. So you're in there promoting his Venmo. All right. And then what's the clip that we want to go to next? It's exactly that. I think Ron is aware of what's happening and he asks Opie right here.

Is 16? That would be 16, yes. I can do that. I know how to do things. This ain't the Jerry Lewis muscular dysgraphy. Man, you got to make up, you got to make up that other 12%. Show us where we are. Let me be honest.

If we stay. You got to make up that other 12%, Ron. If we stay just for the money, it's going to make us feel very desperate. So I'm, I'm dirty. It feels dirty. It feels dirty. I'm not, you know, they are really throwing money for once. This is really nice.

And it's going to make us do another week of live streaming. And then next Friday, I'll decide if we'll get to quit or not. We're on a week to week. Keep us on the air, people. Keep us on the air. We're on a week-to-week basis. We're on life support. I'm trying to think, fuck this.

I can enjoy the beach and sleep in. So we're on a week-to-week basis. I'm telling you, right the fuck now. Opie could just shut this down and stand his deck. So his family doesn't have to wear shoes and gloves in the middle of summer. This guy. Whoa. Okay.

Obie's gone full-stuttering John. Yep. This is what Sturter-John was doing. He's like, I'm going to leave. Next week, my last week. I might leave. All right. I broke my arm.

I got to say that for another month. But then I'm going to leave. I swear to God. Oh, my tooth. My tooth. Right. So Opie's doing the same thing where he's just like, either give me money or I'm going to leave.

Does Opie realize how desperate and lame? Sad. It's sadness is. I'm too blinded by the anger, I feel, of him doing that to two people that he calls his friends that genuinely want to do this. I feel like, Eric, you can speak on this. This is a move he's pulled in the past, right? Yeah, he's done this in the past, but also it, he can't pick a direction. He's throwing everything in every direction to see if something sticks, something hits.

And he goes, oh, that worked. We got to go with that. No, that doesn't work. Okay, well, you know, before he doesn't need the money. Oh, Ron, you don't need, no, they're not, you begged for the money, but they didn't do it. They're all haters. Oh, no, these people are great. Look, how much money does it.

Well, oh, look, we're getting a lot of money now. So now we're going to have to continue. Like he's all over the place in the course of one episode. Yes. And you're just like, I don't know what I'm watching here. Oh, yes, I do. It's a nervous breakdown. That's what I'm watching here.

Yes. Very well said. It's like a girlfriend who, you know, oh, I'm going to, I'm going to end everything. This is the worst thing's ever happened. Are we going out this Saturday? Will you take me into the movies? You're just like, I don't know how to respond to any of this. Like, what are we doing right now?

you're being manic. It's too much. So, all right. The next clip is finally addressing Ron's Venmo. Ecuadorians. There you go. There's Ron Berman's Benmo, Ronald dash, Berman, dash nine. All right. You want me to add with a quick F you? Yes.

All right. All right. Go ahead. No, I'm not going to do it now. I don't like your attitude. I don't like yours. Oh, yeah? How do we deal with this shit every fucking day? How do we deal with each other? A long week. Listen, I've had a full week with you.

All right. Everyone in the chat wants to know, like, what's the total amount? Because everyone's asking, what's the total amount? He's skipping the super chat. You keep putting it in there. Everyone's asking, what's going on? And it was like, we got to go. We have.

That's too much. I don't know. We'll ever come back again. The entire chat, can we see Ron log into his vent? What is the total opi? Don't give opi super chats. He won't read them. What's the total of Ron's Venmo?

We are watching you. Read all the super chats. Ron Berman comedy. Tony P. You can run, but you can't hide. Pay to fucking toll. Where are you going?

I mean, this is the entire chat. It's all they're looking at. And they want to talk about like hot topics. It's hilarious. So this is the last clip that we have of this emergency show. Out. Love just about everyone. Yeah.

There's a couple little mosquitoes that have to check this out every day. I don't know why they're obsessed, weirdos. But for the most part, we got a very cool group of people every morning, and I want to acknowledge them today. And it really helps a lot if you download a few. Like I said, you have the worst timing. You got the worst. Ron, you're a treat.

You're just a treat. It's all over the plant. You're just a treat. It helps a lot if you subscribe to OB Radio wherever you get your podcast and download a few of these. Okay. I want everyone to have a great weekend. All right. Thank you, Ron.

Thank you. That was it. So he never addresses it. Everyone's asking, what's the total amount? He won't answer the question. What do you think is going on here, Adam? He doesn't want Ron to get more money, right? Yeah, I think he doesn't like it.

I think he doesn't know how to handle it. I think he is trying out stealing the money, keeping it from him, seeing if he can get away with it. And that after this, one of two things will happen. He'll just give him all the money or he'll have some explanation excuse as to what's been going on and where it went. But one of those two things will happen on Monday because he's always aware of what we do. And he knows that it's not going to end well if he wants to keep up this ruse. he's a lot of things right from all the years i've known him i've never ever thought of him being some kind of thief or or pulling something like this yeah it's wild right i wouldn't

expect that either no not at all and then really because i see him letting people pay for things when they shouldn't that's i see him taking but it's still feeling like you naturally deserve more than everyone and everything else around you and not being fair he steals comedy lines He steals personalities and voices and bits, and he's totally comfortable letting people pay for everything for him. I've seen there's times where, you know, he hasn't paid for like when we're out at dinner or things or that nature. There's times he has, but not as many as maybe there should have been.

How many is okay? Maybe every time or every other time, you know, like if you see a rotation between the hosts of, oh, and's paying this time around, he's paid. it's fine. But when it's always, oh, this one's paid for dinner. We've had, we've, we've, we've been traveling for like the virus tour, right? And the staff will go out to dinner or whatever.

And we, one time we ran into a restaurant where Anthony was with his girlfriend at the time they were eating another part of the restaurant. He came over to say hi and everything. Then he left. We go to pay the bill and we found out later he paid the bill. Like he paid before we let, we didn't tell us. We didn't know. So, you know, that's always nice. to see when your boss does something.

Very Sinatra, Rickles. And tell me about when that happened when you ran into Opie one time. What? Tell me about how that happened when you ran into Opie one time at dinner. And then Opie came over and said hi, and then he paid for your dinner.

Did that? I can tell you in Las Vegas. I was in Las Vegas at Hackamania and we had a big dinner with 12 of us. And Rocco was the one who invited us all and was paying for the bill. and Anthony tried to pay the bill

and Rocco recognized this early on and got the server and said someone's going to try to pay this, here's my card, don't want them. And Anthony immediately was just like, hey, I'm going to get this. I think I goes, nope, can't do it. Rocco's getting this.

Yeah, there you go. That would never happen in another scenario. But to bring it back to this, it's like, that can be shitty, but that's also different. I never would think of, him as trying to steal money from anybody. Especially Ron Berman.

It would be crazy, right? No, but he would want to torture him and go too far with it and not realize that he had maybe committed a crime or that other people that are a little younger can see what goes on on the internet a little clearer than he can. Around the Valentine's Day thing where the donations were going to him or to his account or something and that he was going to match it or whatever the agreement was and then he would pay. and then it took a while for him to admit that he paid, you know, he was delaying the whole thing.

That's one thing. Yeah. Setting up a dummy account and saying, I'm going to run this for you, that's a completely, that's not even a joke. Like, that's a crime. That's a crime. Yeah. I can't honestly think he did that. I hope not.

Well, I'm guessing he just has access to Ron's. I'm guessing they did it together. That could be it. so he could set it up for him, which might be necessary. Ron goes back and forth between, I have no idea how this works. And he said the other day something about having something door dashed. And I was like, well, fuck, if he can doordash, he should be able to set up a fucking Venmo. A Venmo, right.

What's the difference? Uh-huh. You still have to have a credit card or a bank account or something. I have no idea. I hope that's not the case. I don't understand this at all how this is all working out, and I'd like to see how this unfolds. But honestly, I can't honestly think that he would be stealing the money from Ron. I hope not.

And I have more respect for O.B. That's so fucking stupid. That'd be wild. Like, sell one of your fucking places before he started stealing from a old waiter who's living in a basement in Astoria. That's why we're here. You know, when Aaron Imholt decided that hospice doctors really had it coming, I remember us on one of these shows saying, hey, man, it's not too late. as a deep Catholic like you are.

Maybe you want to try another. Yeah, so that's what we're doing here. That's the emergency is whatever you're thinking about doing Monday. Why don't you just show him what he's won? What a great cap to this episode. And speaking of Las Vegas and Haccamania and people buying meals, I hung out with my friend Mike Boudet from the Sword and Scale. Or on Scale, yeah.

We had a little pre-production meeting. at a Mexican restaurant for Who Are These Podcasts episode. And Mike came down and he decided to buy us on lunch, which was really sweet, but even sweeter. He just gifted 50. Who are these podcast? Memberships. That is incredible, my friend.

Thank you so much for doing that. If you got a membership, you'll go on there. You'll see that we just put out some members-only content, of course. Our Saturday shows are on there. But also I did a cross-it with Dick Masterson just on Thursday that you can check out. And we did another living in the past, considering John, we do that once a month. It's a bonus show that we do when you're on our Patreon or on our YouTube channel.

So thank you for that. And then not to be outdone, Mike Bouda is over on Super Tip. And he sends this $100 from Sort of Scale says, this is for Adam since Kevin Brennan said you don't pay him, get yourself a latte or something out there in L.A. Is that how much it is for a latte? $100? That's without foam.

But yeah, thank you. All right. I'll chip an extra 20 so you can get the foam on it. But thank you so much. Mike Boudet, Sword and Scale, the best true crime podcast out there. Check it out.

And thank you so much, Mike, for helping us out. Yejits, who I also saw donating to Opie on Friday, says, Dream Come True to be included in a WATP OPEC segment. Love the show.

And Sir Nagle is a legend. Fuck yet. That's awesome, man. And thanks for helping out. Opie. Home run. Call me a home run. Good to see your Jeeze. And of course

Mike Bouda is an old school O&A fan. So appreciate him being out. I know he's been on Anthony's show on Compound. A lot, yeah. Yeah. So very cool to see him. And guys, thank you so much for hopping out with me for this emergency show that we just did.

Thanks for having me. I feel like we got a little closer to finding out the answers. And I look forward to picking this back up on Wednesday. We will be this back up on Wednesday. Can you imagine that this just goofing session actually led to like an investigation of wire fraud? Yes, I can. I really can because that's usually what is the first step in finding out about the murders.

It's always tax fraud. Adam says this all the time. It's just like this could be like a huge story. Like we find out there are actually children buried underneath a house somewhere and we're the first people. the FBI go to you and we're on the first 48? It's a possibility this happens. So, all right. So Adam's implying this is hiding in plain sight by doing the podcast, admitting things under the guise of, we're all goofing around.

And then it turns out, oh, no, he is using a fraudulent account to steal funds. Oh, no, they searched his house. And there's a murder weapon. There's blood stains that he didn't fully clean out of the linoleum in the kitchen or something along those lines. I know you think this is a bit, Eric. this would be the second time this has happened on WATP. That's true. Do you understand there's the podcast hitman?

Oh, yeah. That's very true. Yeah, see how quickly we forget. I'm here so we don't forget. And that's why this was an emergency show. That's right. If it does happen, you can spin this and compete against Mike in the true crime genre of podcast, get a Netflix special. All this stuff.

I'm teaming up with Mike. Yeah, we're all working together on this. Yeah. Mike, you're in. Let's go. Let's talk about Opie murdering his family. It's going to be fucking awesome. Yes, it's on Netflix for sure. In the, I got to go, bye.

I got to go. I got to go. I got to go. I got to go. Sorry, Opie cut you off. What were you saying, Adam? No, I just said in the boxing ring, terms of service.

Correct. Yes. We're all friends here. At it's a. It's Eric Nagel is where you can go check out Eric. Yeah, the video version and clips and all that stuff up on the YouTube channel. You can go subscribe there, get yourself a membership if you want to help us out there. And the audio version is still on Eye Heart.

We'll see how much longer that goes. Excellent. Good for you. And, of course, Adam Bush, anything you're promoting, my friend. Yes, there's a book called The History of Stand Up by Wayne Federman from Mark Twain to Dave Chappelle. He is a writer for The Tonight Show, a director, a great comedian. He's on Curb Your Enthusiasm, and it's an amazing book. I recommend everybody to check it out.

Starting in the Moshbits of Morning Radio. Okay. Great show. Good job, everybody. Great job, everyone.
