Who Are These Podcasts? - Minisode - Stuttering John on Mike Calta & Opie's Pranks

Episode Date: June 20, 2025

Adam Busch and I did an impromptu episode to cover Stuttering John's appearance on Mike Calta earlier this week. We start with some of the clips Opie puts up on his channel and try to figure out why he chooses these moments to promote his show. Stuttering John can't help but talk about the Dabbleverse as he backs down from a potential fight with Chad Zumock. Mike asks the question we all want to know - how do you have any money?

Who likes these podcasts? Not W-A-T-P Who makes these podcasts? That one's beyond me Who are these podcasts? W-A-T-P. W-A-T-P. W-A-T-P. Hello, everybody. It's the Cousin Roots. Welcome to an emergency episode of

Who Are These Podcasts? The only show where nothing is ever urgent and the only emergency is Chad Zumach's career. I want to welcome my friend Adam Bush for being here with me on this Thursday night. What's up Adam? Like Batman you send the signal on the last minute and I'm here for you. I appreciate that. Of course Adam and I both have travel days tomorrow. We'll be in Boston. By tomorrow night we'll be hanging out in Boston and on Saturday night we have the live show at the City Winery. WATPlive.com. There's a handful of tickets remaining. If you want to come see us live with the entire WATP crew and of course Dick Masterson and Blind Mike will be joining us as well. I'm excited for it. It's our second live show together, Adam. We're all staying in an abandoned firehouse.

Yes, so we get to slide down the pole as soon as the sound checks over and we can head over. Is this like Ghostbusters? I have a lot of fantasies in my head about how this is gonna play out. Just work with me here. Okay, I feel like maybe you and Skinny Chad should talk about your fantasies

about how this is gonna play out. Well just know that if it doesn't go the way that I've decided in advance and not shared with you, I'm gonna be extremely disappointed. I believe that. I believe that's probably true. Well. What's really funny real quick, this Skinny Chad thing, all of his dreams have come true.

He just wanted this hamburger pants thing to be a thing. It's a thing. It's a thing. Drew Layne's talking about it. I heard that. I was listening to his show and it was just so random. He was just like, oh my gosh, I was watching Carl, this guy's Skinny Chad Zuback show.

Yeah, not everyone, but people are talking about it. Which is just so funny, because it's the same thing that happens to these people we enjoy following, is the same thing that happens to these fans of theirs. They're like, I wanted it to be a thing it is, but not in the way that they wanted. They wanted it to be a hero, and instead it was something different,

and they're upset about that, but that's what they enjoy in other people. Can I tell you, I've had the exact opposite experience. I was a fan of Jim Norton and Anthony Kumia and I started doing a show where I was trying to emulate Jock Tauber and we were making fun of podcasts the way they used to make fun of radio shows.

Fast forward, I'm hanging out with them and they're on my show and enjoying it. So sometimes it actually works out the exact way you'd want it to. Well, because your focus was on what you were creating, not your relationship with them. Correct, you know what, that's a good point.

I never once for a second was doing this to become friends with Anthony or Jim or anyone. I just, this is what I thought. If you build it, they will come. Interesting. You know, every now and again, Adam, you make a good point. Sometimes. I'm not funny, but I make a good point. I can pull off a good one.

Oh, you've been reading the subreddit, have you? No, I just know myself. Okay. I'm kidding. Everyone loves you at the subreddit. They think you're hilarious. Don't ever go there. I'm not going in there. I was just kidding So this is great. This is a little impromptu

Episode and I'll tell you why we're doing it. I saw Chad in our chat earlier Well, how is this an emergency this already happened everyone's already covered it. I know that's the joke Here's the deal. I've had this Mike Helton segment ready to go. We didn't get to it yesterday on WATP because we had so much going on. There were so many other things to talk about. We didn't get to it. And then- I'm sorry, what Chad doesn't realize

is that the idea that him actually being on the Mike Keltis show, like if that was today and that would be news, that's also really funny. It's all the same joke. It's not news. Actually, I think Chad is supposed to be on my kelta tomorrow. You just reminded me because he's doing a show with Swartz And I think in Tampa. I think they're going on my couple to talk about it. That's gonna go very well Yeah, doesn't he was talking about Boston. That's for sure so that's good

but the other thing is on point dabble point we did a you know a show and we But the other thing is, on Point Dabble Point, we did a show and we went through a couple different people and I had a bunch of notes about Opie that I wanted to pull. But then Trucker Andy, I asked him to check out a livestream. He pulled so many clips I didn't need to get to my stuff. So I got Opie's stuff to get to. We're gonna start with that.

Great. Because Opie's great, he curates the garbage for us. You know, his livestreams I have to go through and watch it tediously, but the other stuff, oh, he loves putting it out there for us, so that's great. And then we'll get into centering John on Mike Kelta. I think it needs to be talked about. The things that I have on this,

I have not heard other people talk about yet. And it was a 20 minute plus interview, so there's much to discuss with that. It's the first time someone from mainstream media has mentioned the double verse directly to John, and he's been forced to acknowledge it, and his reaction is wild. It's actually, it's funnier than that.

Mike Kelta is kinda in on what's going on with John, more so than anyone else John's ever been on a show with, but John's the one who brought the dabble verse. Oh. The words dabble verse came out of John's mouth, which is hilarious. Kelta was asking him about related things. He did, he asked him about Zumok and their issues and then John goes you know it's a funny, well we have the clip but John it's a

funny thing of this dabble verse. It's like wow. There it is. Wow. I thought he was out. I thought he was out. No he's never out. In fact the reason why he's not broadcasting is because of the dabble verse. It's the opposite of being out of the dabble verse. He's out of his... He's out of what he wants to be doing because of the dabble verse. Which is fascinating to me. I thought what he really wants to do with his life is cameos from his car. Well, then he's killing it. Okay, good. Then he's crushing it. His lifelong dream.

When I was a kid, I thought maybe one day I would record videos for one single person who gave me 50 bucks. And I'm living my dream. He always does act like he's living his dream. Gonzo is here. Supertip.gg slash whtp if you want to grind the show to a halt and ruin our flow because Abinai and I'm and I we have chemistry. It's Undeniable it's all I read about in all the subreddits and discord servers. It's the banter they come for Gonzo three bucks Carl. I can't remember. Will you be in Boston? Yes. Thank you for reminding me We will be in Boston this weekend My promoting it too much Here's the thing we'll be in Boston and then we'll be in Detroit in September. We're gonna be all over the place

So watch out for us wherever we are We do live shows and they're always a blast I Saw I was watching Cardiff before I came on tonight and Cardiff was watching Chad Zumach and Chad is out of the melt business. He's done with Super Tip. I know. Can you believe it?

Can you believe he would let his emotions get the best of him and not be logical and rational about something? What a wild ride. He was so happy. He was so happy. He's such a woman. He really is. He gets emotional and he's like, fuck you, I don't wanna be a thing.

Anyway, so Cardiff was playing a thing where he was saying, Chad was saying, he's not coming to Hackamania next year. Which is a crazy thing to say, because he's A, not invited, and B, not invited. So it's weird that he would throw out there that he's not coming to an event that he's not invited to you want to get ahead of it I won't be at the

Academy Awards next year because I don't I don't care for it but is Chad gonna send in a video that's that's the question because it's funny that both him and Aaron said in videos and both of them claimed that they stole the show yep Adam you were there at Hackamania. What do you think was the highlight of the show? It was not something that was played entirely on a screen. I'll say that. No. It was Nick Reketa and the text messages.

Yeah, and it was Nick Reketa at like 3am at the bar. Well, that wasn't the show, but maybe for you it was. It was quite an after show. I the bar. Well that wasn't the show, but maybe for you it was. It was quite an after show, I loved it. I agree with you. Nick was up all night talking to anyone who would want to talk to him about anything. You really got your money's worth at that hackamania.

I agree. All right, should we get started with some Opie stuff? Yes. with some OPI stuff? Yes. Let's ease into it. It's a Thursday night. We're not, you know, we just figured this out a couple hours ago, we're not even gonna do this. Let's ease into it. This is a video that Opie put out. It's called Motorcycle Chaos and Traffic Jam Jealous Rant.

Wow. I love it when Opie goes on a rant and I love it even more when he curates this for us and puts it out on his channel. This is Opie's hilarious ran out motorcycles in a traffic jam I'm on my brakes Yeah, they decided that we got to shut down the bridge So then everyone's everyone's making moves everyone going up the side of the potholes of the

Creating their own lane and then a motorcycle guy just fucking you You and I thought of you so cool, and I leaned over to try to And then a motorcycle guy just fucking you So cool, and I leaned over to try to give him a little jealous I was I don't want you getting ahead of me I was jealous. You're a hundred. Oh wait. I don't think it's fair that you guys get I have a question Did Opie just say he'd leaned over to try to like? Poke the motorcyclist who was driving by him in traffic? I gotta be honest with you, I was having a hard time following that. I'm so distracted by all the words

going in different directions. There's a lot happening. I'm just kinda taking it all in. This is from Opie's channel. He puts this up there. He gets the AI to not only show you still images of what traffic looks like, which is great, but also the text comes up on the screen.

You can see the words they're saying in case you're hearing impaired. Which is popular on TikTok, I guess. Yeah. They like that there. They do. They do like that on TikTok. I don't think TikTok kids are finding him.

YouTube, most people listen with the sound on, I would say. The vast majority. I know I do. Mom, wait, you're all white do I don't think it's fair that you guys get to just do that through traffic why is it not for you don't get to it's illegal it's illegal it's not legal it's not for everybody it's fine you should wait like the rest of us yeah why cuz it were suffering you guys should so that's not there you call me although when I see you guys in a really nice cold rainstorm

And then I yell we're even that's perfect. We are even that anything about that I Don't like it Opie is Frustrated with the motorcycle us when they're weaving in and out of traffic, and he has to be sitting there But then when they get rained on he yells at them. We're even I bet the motorcycle is like touche Yeah Yeah, I couldn't really understand what he was talking about. It just sounded like I think that Opie's rants are that great

Is that what you're saying? No, I don't think they're gonna take over the internet. Would you classify that as a rant? No, I would not All right. All right. Well, there's pranks coming up, so Get ready for that, but first Let's talk about the the wheel of meat Now the wheel of meat is a bit that scorch used to do on the radio And he'd spin the wheel of meat and then he'd grab the piece of meat and he'd slap it next to the microphone You have to guess what the meat is Basically, and he'd slap it next to the microphone you have to guess what the meat is

Basically, I'm slapping it next to the microphone. Mm-hmm. Not a great bet. Nope Not surprised that he was forced into early retirement that's scorch But Opie is He's got a video out. This is Opie spins the wheel the meat wheel He's got a video out that says, Opie spins the wheel, the meat wheel, is the name of this video. And again, this is what Opie put out for us to enjoy.

When do you guys spin the wheel of meat? What meat would you want it to land on? I would go Dominican. Oh, are we talking about? So I don't see you laughing. Would go to minnican So I don't see you laughing so what Opie was saying there was like a chick Instead of like a meat that you would eat and digest like he's like boom Yeah, that was I can see why the guy next to him was having spasms

Let's watch that again. So that like maybe this time it'll hit you a little better. Yeah you're gonna get it this time. When you guys spin the wheel of meat, what meat would you want it to land on? I would go Dominican. Oh, are we talking about? What's your favorite meat for real? My favorite meat? I like a New York strip. Little foot. I'm also gonna go New York strip. I'm not gonna say mine. What are you like? Nope. Same thing. It's the same thing. Nope. Nope. Rib eye's so boring. It's a petite filet. Oh!

Damn it! That's how the video ends. It's a 29 second video. The payoff is petite filet. Mm-hmm. Do I not know enough about meat to understand the humor? What's going on there? Adam, I'll be honest with you. I've had meetings with producer Chris where we go, is Adam working out for the show? And I go, I don't think I could talk to him about my favorite meat if that's what you mean.

And he goes, yeah, I know. I had a feeling. You just can't hang with the guys. No. It's the problem like we want to talk about our favorite meat mm-hmm, and we want to talk about New York strip steaks Which is not the best me whatever we want to do your strip steaks They were like I don't think I have could hang with that conversation No, Rocco was going hunting, and I just watched you guys. I felt so bad right just stayed in the car the window rolled down a bit Fucking la man

He's that way guys. I don't get it This is um yeah I don't I don't I think he I'm trying to figure out why he thought this was the the moment of his show to clip and I can only guess because he was in charge the whole time and they followed him into whatever he wanted to do. And then it ended how he wanted. So it looks, gives the impression of a thing without having any substance. Another thing that you pointed out before I rewound it was that he says Dominican and Matt goes,

he got this like big reaction out of his co-hosts. So whenever a co-host reacts, I hope he's like, I'm killing it. Now another theory is, because I get solicited by this all the time, I get emails literally every day. We have the best AI software that will pull clips that will transform your content

and make it perfect for YouTube shorts and TikTok. And we're working with this creator and that creator. I get shorts and TikTok and like we're working with this creator and that creator I get all these things and I always go no AI doesn't know what the best clips are from WATP I don't even know what the best clips are from WATP no one does that actually makes perfect sense so it's allowed a spike in sound and there was unique sounds there so it just picked it and thought it was a thing. It's very possible. Added graphics you know to one part only and then abandoned them and never put them back. Right. It's a

multimedia. Alright so this is a video that we put out called Trump is on what? And I always like when OP talks talks politics Because it opens your mind Elan's turning on you He likes to play hard to get I don't know what you happen. Oh, he's got a Trump impersonator live at Gebhard's with him Well, this is exciting. Let me back that up. It's only 24 seconds. So I feel like we need to start that again Elan's turning on you He likes to play hard to get I don't know what you want me to say. I mean, he likes he goes back and forth. He's got the tism.

He goes back and forth. But don't worry, he's going to come back. I know he's going to come back. It's the ketamine, right? Well, you know, that's classified. I don't want to get into that. But what do you want? I know you play straight edge, but you're on ketchup.

I do Mountain Dew Code Red. I do a lot of fun. Yeah, that was called. Opi is on what? Or I'm sorry, Trump is on what? And the answer was Mountain Dew Code Red. He used to talk to comedians. Like big time comedians. Yeah, not just random people at the bar. Why would he think that would be better? Well, it's interesting that this guy does a Trump impression because it seems like I don't know if it's Shane Gillis or someone figured out the quintessential Trump impression and now everyone does it it's really annoying mm-hmm it's like

when people would make would do the George Bush impression that Dana Carvey did yeah and you're like okay. It's not even close Okay, no, it's funny, but it's you doing Dana Carvey doing George Bush is not even it's not even the ballpark. What are we doing? Just hitting the beats that they hit those famous things he had no jokes except for the word tism He thought that was gonna really kill Yeah, well, I mean there's also a mind you code right on if you miss that joke punchline I got it. I Got it. I don't want it. You can have it back. You're gonna want to see this next video

Because it is called all caps gross alert Ron the waiter's belly revealed Finally Adam well you say you're not a funny guy. You appreciate comedy. Of course I do. Of course you do. That's why you're a part of this world. We all

appreciate a good bit. We all appreciate comedy. And of course, Ron the waiter, his belly is funnier than he could ever be. That's a hell of a shot, Rod. Now I care. Oh my God.

What do you do, bro? What do you do? When are you due? Oh my God. Can you hear me now? I feel bad for your boyfriend if that's, if that's I can't even see my face. All right, all right, Rod.

Now you're doing, now you're doing parlor tricks because you know, because your audio, oh my god, all right, don't take the lint out of your belly button. That's a hell of a shot right there. You're doing your, you're doing your Burt Reynolds pose, I see. Good for you, buddy He puts this out now opium leash NYC his new channel that he's trying to grow because his old channel Obviously the algorithm is not all that kind to it He has one point nine one thousand subs. It's about the same as it's been for the last month or two. I Think I know why he's not growing the channel.

I think it might be because these are the highlights he's putting out on his show. Ron showing his big fat beer gut. All of the co-hosts to all of these people we follow eventually have to debase themselves so completely to please these hosts, it's just so embarrassing. It always ends up that way, because they don't have jokes, they don't have humor, they don't have bits, so it's just like, you gotta make something happen. And they end up with this, which is nothing. And we saw Opie try to recreate this live at Gebhart's too.

We played this on WTP recently, where once again, pull up your shirt and then he's making his belly button talk and he's squeezing it together and then he's putting on a whoopee cushion costume and going out on the street and it's just like nonstop, like humiliate yourself, humiliate yourself. His foot, remember his foot? He had to show that because it had singing Fiddler on the Roof in New York like a real winner. There's a person who's been really engaged in this

and emailing me pretty regularly, watching all the Opie stuff and breaking it down. And he or she was telling me, Ron the waiter thinks that Opie's his friend. Like Ron thinks that he's forming a friendship here. this is he's excited that he's like I'm friends with opi from opi and anthony And then you see the chat that we just played this most recent episode of WTP where the chat goes Hey, opi you never on over to your house in the hamptons. He's like Yeah

Take the hands does he think yeah yeah take run this is pathetic man he's treating it like shit somewhere Ron is explaining to someone that oh no that's just Oh be on the air off the air he's a nice guy but course yeah no we're actually friends but he pretends you know we bust each other's balls honestly I also tell him that he stinks. It's great.

We have that kind of relationship. All right, well, take a photo next time we're at Opie's house in the Hamptons. Take a photo in front of the fucking ocean. Let's see it. Or send us the clip of when you got that good one off on him and we'll play it. Right.

You know, we talked about this with Rob Saul, with Quadfather, with a lot of these people. They, it's all they have. You know, you go to their social media, this is it. He can tell people he's a comic, and then they ask some questions, and he doesn't have anything to say, or he can say, do you remember Howard Stern? Do you remember Opie and Anthony?

Well, I'm doing that. Like, it's something, and they can't give that up. They can, it's more important than dignity. Yeah. Self respect. Right, I love being a part of the dabble verse, founding father obviously, but I like being a part of the dabble verse.

I love this community, I love all the shows that all interact and the friends I've made and the friendships and stuff. If I was the laughing stock of this, I'd get the fuck out I Wouldn't spend another day in here. I would be like I like him on the better things to do. I just do that But you also accept that there is no being in this dabble verse without hitting getting some shrapnel that some You accept that it's the people that don't accept that that have have the toughest time. They say that can't exist.

You know, they don't understand when it comes to them, but they're happy to see it with everybody else. And it's the same thing that Skinny Chad has, and it's the same thing Opie has. I'm glad you brought up Rob Saul. Can I tease Boston real quick? Yeah, I think everyone knows it's coming, but go ahead. What do you mean everyone knows it's coming?

What do you mean by that? Just when I was in the chat, everyone was saying, Rob, please stop WATP you're gonna use this they're gonna use this you got to stop alright, so and this is your blind spot Okay, so I'm announcing that we might do a great segment in Boston right on our live show WTP Oh, I get what you're gonna say. Yeah, you're talking about Rob Oh, I get what you're gonna say. You're talking about Rob Saul's checks. Everyone already knows this is coming, Carl.

Who? What are you talking about? You're right, you're right. I'm guilty of what I accused many people of. It's a very small world in here. So anyway, just to give you a- But Sam Bibley knows, everyone knows. What are you talking about?

Just to give you a quick teaser, Adam did something very funny the other night. He sent one, not even a super chat, right? It was just a free chat, you were just like in the chat room? Okay. He was making fun of us, yeah. Okay, so you typed one thing in Rob Sell's chat,

and then you hit record on the video and you walked away. And wow, Rob Sell goes, woo! For hours, I woke up and it was Christmas. I couldn't believe what was there. It's so exciting, guys. I really, it is everything you expected it to be. Everything you thought was going on underneath there is exactly what it is.

It's wild, I can't wait. We're gonna talk about it in Boston. WATPLive.com is where you want to go Trey Peacock fan at super tip that GG slash WTP Your comments broke my heart literally, I Collapse when I heard the mean things you said about me Thankfully, I wasn't streaming at the time So I was able to call nine one one

What do you think about that Joey see apparently was in our chat was like adios and he's like mad at us or something Oh, no, he wrote a letter saying goodbye to everybody. He did Yeah, and you can find it on his YouTube You can find all three versions that AI offered him is that all there with the notes that he asked for No, but regardless his sentiments what he wanted to say if he means it Was sincere and I liked it, but it was specific he realizes now that he's been nothing but a whack-packer We're not oh no, we don't see each other as colleagues and equals so he is bidding the double verse ado Oh shit, really mm-hmm

Well, that's a bummer it is sorry to hear however I have a feeling when a lot of people say that you know this is there's what you know skinny Chad did the same thing right after His interview with me didn't go the way he wanted and then his interview with you didn't go the way he wanted he announced he's Going he said goodbye. I'm taking a hiatus. We'll see y'all later Phil Elmore when stuff came to him. Goodbye. See you John very similar It's a it's a human reaction to being confronted with truth and not Knowing how to handle it and it shows you their willingness to learn because they'd rather they just want sympathy They just want to run

Funny because earlier in the show I said that if everyone turned on me I get the hell out of here Their willingness to learn because they'd rather they just want sympathy. They just want to run Funny cuz earlier in the show. I said that if everyone turned on me I get the hell out of here. Yeah, that's a good point I don't think you would I think it would further your resolve and you would fight even harder and change hearts and minds I do oh god. That'd be a bad decision on my part if I did that well I'm not true for Joey hope Joey gets over it and comes back as we like Me too. I think he will. I feel bad now. About what? That we're gonna have to do a part two of that interview.

We are gonna have to do that. We're still doing it. We haven't gotten all the stuff yet. We haven't gotten to the fourth hour yet. No, we gotta get to the point where he starts crying. Well, we did get to that. We did get to the crying part. Okay, good. Because I wrote that in the description of the episode. There's more crying. Rarely do you see an interviewer cry during an interview.

It's not normally what you're going for. Trey Peacock fan again at supertip.gg slash WNTP. Oh, your comments broke my heart. Same thing. Literally. I collapsed when I heard the mean things you said. Thankfully, I wasn't streaming at the time, so I was able to call 911. Nice. Trey Peacock fan put that in twice, but thank you very much. Lance Belko, five bucks. Does that WETB song, that one's

Beyond Me? Yes. Is that trucker singing, also do a segment about origins of drops you use from the show opening? That's a good idea, I would do that. That one's Beyond Me is the lyric, and it's me and Jenny Jingle singing that song. The funny story about that is that we were using a isotopes instrumental track as our theme song, and then my cohost at the time, Kevin, goes, Carl, can you write a song for our show?

I was like, yeah, I could do that. So I wrote that song, recorded it all on my own, had Jen sing and I sang and stuff, and then Kevin quit the show like the next week. Okay, well, thanks. Yeah, that's what it do with thing. Name taken, 10 bucks. So Adam saw Nick at the bar at 3 AM at Hackamania,

drinking Shirley Temple's, I'm sure. I mean, you're not trying to narc at him to his probation officer, right? I bet he watches the channel, LOL. Name taken. You talked about him drinking anything. I never did. The event was in a bar.

So I am not outing him or being a narc in any way by saying he was there. They were live streaming from there That's where the event was so there was nowhere else to be it was a casino Every place is a bar. That was where our dressing room and home base was and where everyone met up and No, I never mentioned anything about him being I never saw him drink anything. I'm sure he didn't drink anything I didn't even know no and he seemed heartbroken not drunk Yes, yes, there are things to say about Nick that weekend

Being drunk or high or not either of them that was certainly not the case But I will offer up named taken if you're concerned about something don't shed a light on it Arcana self-theorem says Adam, please have Ron and the booster and and booster him. I feel bad. I don't want to butcher anybody and I don't want skinny Chad or Joey to quit but if they'll think about things and come back stronger than I'd love it. Jay Cannon. This would have been OP's career without Anthony. Yes, he always was going for the viral video It's what he's always been trying to do and he's terrible at it

Uh So he says typo men have ron on and dissect his deal I would love to I followed him on instagram and i'll send him a message and see if he wants to uh chat with us Maybe he can make some new friends. What are we talking about? He's talking about talking to Ron the waiter. Is that what he's talking about? Oh is that what he's talking about? Yeah before he said Adam Boucher Ron or something. Yeah. So now he's saying I meant have Ron on and dissect his deal. What deal? Of why he's allowing Opie to be an indentured, you know, be an indentured servant to Opie.

I'm so dumb when I hear that this deal, I'm like, did he sign with a company? Does he have a podcasting deal or something? No. Just like, what's his deal? Okay. Yeah. That makes more sense. Chaos Queen says, dying to hear a response from Tabber.

Please respond. Do you think he will or did you snarky him to death? I don't know about Tabber Benedict, Tabber B. Benedict, Esquire, considering John's attorney. But Chris, I agree with you. I'm very interested to hear what the response will be from John's attorney after the response we gave him from the demand letter that we read on point devil point this week if you missed it it's on this channel check that out ghost crusaders TV coming in oh crawl

Harrow Adam ish me ashen Robb Shrawl he a fry Joey Shreer Akraic stupid go to Rita he'd act like read throw baby he have bamboo head ok bye bye I do love Asian Rob so I wonder if he knows about that character that's going on I don't think he does okay let's get back Opie then we'll get into Sutterine John I got a couple more Opie clips to get into this one's called you got Ebola I ringworm Ronnie's back. Health Department. He's taking a sock off. Health Department. Oh no way! Go home! Don't put your foot down on the floor! Dude! You got Ebola!

That was it. That was the whole clip. Do you think OP thinks that's funny? That's a great question. You know what? If I got a chance to talk to OP, like how I got to talk to Stuttering John, I think I would pull up a couple of these videos and be like, what are these going to happen with this? Yeah.

You're going to gain a new audience with it. It's going gonna go viral. People are just gonna have a chuckle and be like, I'm glad I subscribed to this channel. Like, what's the goal here? We talked about how with john, he clearly didn't understand the Howard Stern show or what was good about it. Right? I think it might be the same for Opie. I don't think he understood what the humor humor was. That's a that's a great point. Opie, I don't think he understood where the humor was. That's a great point.

Opie talks about how he was a passenger on his own show. And he goes, it got to a point where we had all these comedians in and they're all talking to each other and making jokes and I'm just sitting there watching it happen. And I was always sad when he said that, wow, what a great opportunity you have. You're the name on the show, you're running the show,

and everyone's hilarious and being funny and entertaining and you're getting millions of listeners. That is all you could hope for. Yeah. As a guy who's not that interesting or funny, all you could hope for is that everyone around you is way worse and funnier than you, and that it's bringing tons of listeners in to what what you're doing and hope he hated that. Yeah, he despised it. It's like dude

Do you not know why people listen to your show? That's that's why you want that and he's showing us time and time again. Thank you for making that point Showing us time and time again. Then it's like no open didn't know why people listen to the show He thought it was just like people screaming real loud and looking at gross stuff and going, whoa, look at this guy's feet. Yeah. Okay. Do you remember that show Family Matters? Yeah.

With the Urkel? Of course. Like it was a show about a family and Urkel was a character in the pilot that was just on a date with the daughter. He was just supposed to be in that one episode, but they loved that character so much, it tested so well, they were like, we're gonna make this show about him. And the family was like, great,

whatever you think will get us to eight seasons, happy to do it, make it the Urkel show, I don't care. Like, that dad from Die Hard thought it was gonna be about this dad, he thought it was his show. He's like, great, whatever will work work so happy to be a part of any success He can't be like that right and that's the way you have to think Yeah, it's

similar story to Breaking Bad and the Saul Goodman character was supposed to be just like a couple episode arc They're just like there's this attorney and it tested so well that He became a big part of the show and then he got a spin-off and it became a whole other thing Great, right. That's what it's supposed to be well Jim Norton's bringing in Bill Burr and Colin Quinn and Patrice O'Neill and Everyone's busting balls and now we have this show that's unlike any other radio show. I know was ever heard You can't even compare this to Howard Stern. He would never even do anything have this show that's unlike any other radio show anyone's ever heard, you can't even compare this to Howard Stern, he would never even do anything like this.

It's too off, unscripted. And I was like, yeah, this sucks. I remember the one time I talked to John, I kept comparing him to Eric the actor and encouraging him to lean into it because those YouTube clips were so popular. Like, Beetlejuice and Eric the actor are the popular memories from the Howard Stern show on the internet.

Patrice O'Neill seems to be one for Opie and Anthony. They love those videos. Why doesn't Opie lean into that? Why doesn't he attach himself to that in some way? Discover new comics, talk about Patrice. Except for stealing his name and putting it in the heading of certain videos to try and capitalize on it, he's not embracing it.

That's a great point. There's a handful of guys who can go behind the scenes and talk about Opie and Anthony when you had Patrice O'Neill, who is since past, when you had Bill Burr before he was really Bill Burr, when you had Joe Rogan before he was Joe Rogan. I mean, the list goes on and on and on. Opie could sit there, instead of just like replaying

old Opie and Anthony bits, which is what he puts on his channel, what if he broke down a segment and went, here's a day when Colin Quinn came into the studio and Rich Voss was already there and you know, Jimmy comes in and Anthony and they're talking about blah blah blah and he starts playing the clip and he pauses it and goes, at this point, I realize that they're going off on a thing.

And so I'm looking at the phone log and all these people are calling in, they have all these comments and I'm holding off because I know these guys have gold right now. I'm not going to because he can actually maybe give a counter argument for what everyone says that he like ruined the show and slowed it down and halted people he could say and I'm going up against the quarter hour and I got the producer of my ear saying we need we got to take a break we got to take a break and I'm trying to let it go, but then I try to find a way to be able to segue into a break. Anyway, I'm not doing an OP show for him,

I'm just saying, there's so many fans of Opie and Anthony and people who are discovering Opie and Anthony now for the first time, even internationally, that if Opie put out a show that was behind the scenes, similar, honestly, there's all these podcasts that are doing so well where they go back to sitcoms that people love, and a couple of the stars of the sitcom go down and they break down every episode.

It's huge. It's huge. People love it. If you like that show, you're obsessed with that podcast. Right. So Opie could be Opie and Anthony behind the scenes. Opie and Anthony rewatch, yeah, whatever it is. And what's so great is that even if it's the opposite

of what you described, even if what Opie says is happening in those segments is completely wrong, people would love to call in and correct him or see that he really felt that way. He really didn't get it, we wanna know. It's a no-lose scenario, so you know he won't do it. And also, I just realized that the person who should be doing this is E-Rock. Oh yeah, actually that would be great.

So, Eric, if you're watching or listening, you've got to do this show. This would be huge. I know E-Rock has all the archives. Rather than just put them out, which is great, we all want to re-listen to those episodes. E-Rock could literally be the guy who breaks down what was going on that day and what's happening in the studio, and he could bring in Anthony and Jim and Travis, and he could bring in all the guys to talk about it

who were actually there. That was so funny. This went from, let's help Obi get back on his feet to, no, no, no, let's exclude him and use everybody else. Actually, Obi would suck at this. E-Rock, here's exclude him and use everybody else. Actually, Opie would suck at this. Erock, here's your calling, let's go. Mm-hmm.

All right, I have one more clip on here. And Opie put this out recently, but it's an old one. And this is one with him and Club Soda Kenny. That's how you know it's old. So Club Soda Kenny was Opie's bodyguard slash driver. He would pick Opie up and drive him to the studio every morning. And I loved club soda Kenny. I thought he was a great character on open Anthony didn't talk a lot. Ex cop. Big guy. Not a huge personality. That's what made him interesting. He calls this video trolling tourists with you drop something prank. Opie and club soda Kenny. So you drop something prank you already

know this is going to be classic Opie. This is going to be really good stuff that we should be excited about. You dropped something. No, over there. It rolled over. Right over the curve, over there. I don't know what it is. It's here with something yeah right in there no it went it rolled It rolled that way Now this prank sucks for a number of reasons, but the fact that there's two guys with a camera up

Screaming at people and you drop something wouldn't that be like your first thing? Like, can a camera work? Because they didn't know there was a camera pointed at them. They're like, what is going on here? It seems like everyone's against me. They're like, well, there's a camera over here. Oh, I didn't even know. These guys are just like filming.

I'm like, hey, idiot, you suck. They're like, OK, if you say so. Also, how does he know this is a tourist? It's just a woman. It's just a woman walking around. An older woman who you really shouldn't be picking on right now. It feels silly.

You know it's not a tourist, it's not an Asian with a camera. You know, have you been to New York? I'm sorry, did I say something wrong? Or do you only know it from the Muppet Stake Manhattan? I'm trying to figure it out. Did I say something wrong? No, no, no, no.

I'm joking. And you know this is, in other countries, this is like an actual scam, where they say you drop something and then they con you into something like people are trained to not respond to that Not these gem oaks well not these dumb tourists am I right Adam? Or chris am I right? Locals like us these bridging tunnel freaks Locals like us these bridging tunnel freaks

No the other way The payoff is always the person going like okay, whatever and I'll be going Somebody's gotta it's not the payoff that you're looking for. I always got another one on the same video. You dropped something! Right... No, right there! It rolled over! This way... more this way! Yeah!

You drop something It rolled No over by here over That was great. He's putting this out on his channel now. He thinks that that's good content that he should be sharing with people. Remember when Mr. Stuttering John had some bite-sized TV show and he got to do pranks and it became clear.

Yes, and he put the $20 bill on the fishing line. Yep. He had not seen a prank since The Little Rascals. It's the same prank. Yeah, the stuff on the telescope, on the kaleidoscope, so you get a ring around your eye, that kind of stuff. Like, Opie's not searching pranks on YouTube and watching them because he loves them.

Oh, just saying on your shirt, what? Ah, gotcha. Bzz. Oh. You're saying it's not going to catch on. Oh gotcha You're saying it's not gonna catch on it's not gonna be his next career What I'm saying is he's not even interested in this He's not like looking up what pranks people are doing or what the kids are watching and trying to compete on that level This is just like the most the cheapest Content he could come up with so

blind Mike and I did who Are These Socials Tonight? And I was so glad that Blind Mike sent me over this video clip of Ryan Long. Ryan Long does what Opie wants to do in New York City. He goes around, he talks to people in New York, and he gets these viral moments and these hilarious interactions with people where he either humiliates them or he just says something ridiculous and he reacts to it the right way or whatever it is. He was outside the P. Diddy trial and he walked into an area that no one's supposed to walk into and a guy's coming out of the courthouse and he starts talking to him and

the guy's like, yeah, I'm part of PTT's defense team. And Ryan Long is like, oh great. And he starts talking to him about the PTT trial and freak offs and this guy starts talking about going to Hugh Hefner's house and there may or may not have been women who were underage. And Ryan's like, well did you have women who were underage? He's like, I don't know, I don't know if that happened.

It's just like, whoa. And then the guy, he's a black man, he starts talking about like, I don't know. I don't know if that happens. It's like whoa, and then the guy he's a black man He starts talking about like yeah, these women really liked what was happening in the freak ops and the black guys They were giving it to him good the white guys can't Ryan's like I got a big piece like no you don't I got a bigger piece They're having like a dick measuring goddess. It's the funniest shit It's one of the greatest things but Ryan Long puts himself in these situations and he's also funny And so things like that happen to him This is what Opie is pining for it's all he wants in life is to have like a viral moment like

Ryan Long did outside of the PD trial, but Opie can't set himself up for success. He has no idea how to do this Well what you just described was Ryan asking a question getting an answer Hearing that answer and then having a follow-up question. Opie cannot have that back and forth with anybody. You can follow him like knock knock, you can say who's there, or you cannot talk to Opie, that's it. So he's incapable of that stuff. You ruined my shot!

Yeah, yeah, that's his communicating to people. That's all he's got, it's so sad. Anyway, those are some Opie stuff that I had laying around that I wanted to get to we got Cleaning out the desk segment you gotta clean out the file. Yeah clean out the computer like I would call that an emergency But it's fun You and Chad Zivak both don't think this is an emergency shell for some No, I think we've lost some credibility. The next time we cry emergency, people are going to be hesitant. They're going to take twice.

Can you think of the last time I did an emergency show? I don't think it was this year even. It's been a very long time since we've done this. It's always been a joke. Things are moving fast. Things are moving fast right now. Especially on supertip.gg slash WTP where ghost Crusaders TV is hanging out.

I got Adam is big sir. Red birdie. I Shree you're on bruffy. Ooh. So so so crude. Ooh. Number one act tour fry you do show with crawl crawl is fronty but shrilly. You do new movie.

I star high enough with the Asian Rob Saul. Nobody cares about Rob Saul. Ban this loser and let's talk about my doggy. Hiya doggy. Hiya. Good point. The similarities between Rob Saul and Opie will be revealed in Boston. And I will tease that both of them have their future predicted for them by their mother and they cannot let it go. That's exciting. I am so looking forward to this segment in Boston about Rob saw I've always seen I've always seen a little portion of it so far It's very dark it's my kind of thing name-take a ten bucks

I was just busting your balls guys. I didn't think Nick would do anything at hack-a-mania that could get him in trouble He is a very watchful. I he has a very watchful eye over him. I'm sure Don't call me a narc man Real sensitive Carl Dock says I don't narc that's not our dynamic. I told a story about my drug use on The creep off this week thinking no one listened, but apparently they do on the creep off this week thinking no one listened, but apparently they do. So it's like-

Me too, I told one on Joey C's story. Buried in this four hour interview and they found it. And they found it. There you go. Casey Durliet, wife is a fan of VTM's legal vids. He's huge now, WTF. Oh yeah, he's huge, everyone's talking about him. Oh.

And Daniel Poins point set Vince's piss Troy Smith hey kids. I'm coming the frame in practical opster. I'm coining the frame corning the frame Yeah, impractical opster. That's perfect impractical opster that makes so much sense by the way Troy Smith I don't know if you can see his avatar at all, but he's combined... Shrek? No, no, Necro Gobblecon, John Gobblecon. Yes. The stuttering John, he calls it John Dabblecon.

Perfect. And it's so impressive, I'm going to print it out and put it up on the wall here at the studio. It's really good Me I've always had business. I was five years old. I don't know you I don't know you drop something is pretty good. No that is a pretty good frag. That's yeah good point You got everyone know that one Rape or but five bucks you say opi needs a role for Ron. He does already Has the fugitive voice.

I am the fugitive. If you wanna win the $10,000, do you know the fugitive bit? I don't, no. It's something that came up often when they were doing Jacktober. It turns out that all these radio shows and all these different markets,

all of the same gimmicks and contests. And the Fugitive was one of them. Latin inches, two bucks. Adam and Crow, are you familiar with my publication? Latin inches, oh yeah, I'm a big fan. Subscribe. N-word F-slur, five Australian dollars. See, I like creative names like that.

The best, I heard Adam Kroll talk about this He goes the best name if you want to like say at the airport So they put it over the PA or in a ball or something is Harry Seward Because doesn't look dirty like you see Harry Seward written out. You're like, all right, that's fine And then you say that long you go shit. He got me so I knew what I've slurred five like, all right, that's fine. And then you say it out loud, you go, oh shit, he got me. So, nwordfslr5australiandollar says, as much as I'd love to see the, see SJ fight Chad, we're gonna get into that in a second, I'd pay astronomical amounts of money to see John

in the doctor's office try to pass the physical exam. That's a good point. Could you imagine John lying to his doctor? Yeah, of course he does I know you can imagine, but that would that would be a show Joey C said the other day that his doctor told him you know what Joey do whatever you want. Yeah We've given up on you. Yeah, you're not following the rules so whatever you do you? When John's lying to the doctor, so how often do you drink? And he gives his answer and they stare at him and they ask him again and he gives his answer. That's what they're like, okay buddy, you got it. Whatever you want. I have a beer or two at dinner.

Mm-hmm. Social drinker. How many beers have you had to drink tonight? Two? Your honor, your officer? Shit. Sir, this is a doctor's office. Who's asking? Ghost Crusader TV again coming in. Well, I mean, Carl, I mean, God damn it. Hold on. Give me a minute.

I had something I needed to say. But what was it? I, uh, God damn it all to hell. I can't wait. Give me a minute. Uh uh uh fuck it I'm number three in the world for for comedy on play board where are you lady K huh show me the numbers was that the actual front yes that was actual audio from the opening of his show today that was actually a clip amazing. It's perfectly done

Chuck Spears says what about Chuck Spears Carl would that be funny at the airport at the spirit gates I suppose Someone get a chuckle out of that I would imagine Maybe maybe and does not approve I can tell well I just feel like you know we're making fun of people for you drop that jokes but then we're applauding no one's applauding no one's applied we're acknowledging I said here you see word was clever that's all I said it's slightly clever it's slightly above we're making making progress Stewie felt coming in

With five dollars is I suggested to Shulie earlier that the next day Abel Kahn you guys should do a stiff Minister show and make it as outrageous like how it's done. John described it So you want to see Alice Cooper in 1973 is that we're saying cuz that's pretty much what John described but I See if I can get stiff minister reunited that'd be great Well, if you could get Chrissy Now this is making sense. Go to the local kosher butcher get a couple pounds of pig's blood I believe he's sawn on base. All right I'm listening and we can just do the act with get the guillotine guillotine and Make it happen. Lance Belko says always liked Phil O'More. He walked so Adam could

Hmm, is that true? Do you think Phil O'More is a reason why you were accepted into the devil verse? I think he he certainly stepped in fresh snow and opened a lot of doors. I agree. All right, let's get into our John segment. Can I get a little sympathy? Because I got a bloody ass I'm bleeding generously because I got a bloody ass Uh right now indiana's up 78 to 57 79 to 57 on, uh, oklahoma city So that game is not going well. There's no reason to watch it. You should be watching us There's a lot of competition tonight. But it doesn't matter, Adam.

All eyes are on us because they all want to know the breaking news. What happened with Stuttering John on the Mike Kelter show? No one's talking about it. How did this go under the radar? It seems like a big deal. Mike Kelter has a big show in Tampa. Stuttering John was a guest.

He was promoting a show in Naples, which is nowhere near Tampa. It's not even close to the radio market that is Tampa. That'd be like me going to Albany to promote my show in Rochester, which is only relevant to me because I live in New York State. No one else knows what I'm talking about. My point is, this is a ridiculous appearance that John had, and it starts off talking about John's weekend in Tampa because this would have made more sense if he had gone on the week before and said hey I'm gonna be doing this sports expo and I'll be there hanging out signing

autographs taking photos with people but instead he went after that after he was in Tampa to promote a gig in Naples and Mike thankfully asked him about that. What were you in town doing? You were doing an autograph signing over here? Yeah. In Tampa at the Tampa Fairgrounds. Yeah.

How was that? It was okay. I mean, but it was more like it was more like all these, all these sports baseball card people, you know? like it was more like all these all these sports baseball card people you know so I was you know I mean I mean I was like a nobody there but hell wow it didn't go well yeah shocking why would it have gone well John is at this event that's for athletes and sports from Erbilia and it's, hey, it's John from the Tonight Show

and Howard Stern. So I have to, because we checked this out on WTP, I showed, or maybe I was pointing out one, I showed you that he was there all three days, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, for hours every day. No one else, except for John or whatever, Michael Papa John or whatever the guy's name is, he was the only other guy with John who was there the whole weekend. All the other athletes, all the celebrities were there

for one day. You go there that one day to see that one person, then they're out. John was there all weekend and no one cared, which shows you the value it puts out of time at this point. Conventions are a good place for him to be. He probably has no reputation and no agent in that world, and it is its own world with its own. There are people that are celebrities in that world because they put on a good show or they created a thing with the fans that they love coming back to. There are sci-fi fans and sci-fi conventions.

There are 90s, remember the 90s, with Cardiff conventions. They're like places he could do better, but he doesn't have that relationship yet. So he's gotta build it by being an extra at this sports thing. Like there will even be at a sci-fi convention, like a little not sci-fi area where just people that sell wares that are local

just wanna be a part of it. He's like that. They're like, we'll have some celebrities, we'll have some people there. He could have said the same thing to Mike there but said, oh, it was great, it was awesome. I'm a sports fan so it was cool that there were all these sports guys there

and I was like the only comedian so I felt really special anyway. How you doing Mike? Not right because the whole point is to build these relationships I don't know if he realizes he just talked shit about the convention on a radio show They're gonna hear they're gonna hear cuz they're in Tampa. This is the biggest morning show in Tampa He might have been a bomb at the convention But but if he actually said some nice things about them on this show, it would have gotten back to them and they would have loved it and remembered that instead of this bridge burned. And I don't think I have the clip, but right after that Mike Helton goes,

I would imagine there's so many Stern fans, you guys could do your own Howard Stern conventions, all the ex employees on there. And you could have whack packers and, you know, gonzo shitcock guys who call it into the show or were part of the show, you have all those people go to a thing. And he might be right about that. He is in certain markets. You could do that on Long Island, you could do that in Philadelphia, There's certain areas where you could be like, remember the Howard Stern Show? And you get to hang out with Grillo

and Stuttering John and Casey Armstrong. And that could maybe do something. And he asked him about that, and John's like, ah, yeah, yeah, anyway, so I'm doing another thing, coming up in a little bit. John could put it on. He could do it with this guy. They could make it happen. No, he couldn't.

No, he couldn't because I'm more Hanks as Guts. Well, he couldn't, right. But someone else could. Someone else could, yes. It's a good idea and you can combine it with dabble stuff. You can combine all of those worlds with the younger people and the older people. There's all this disgust.

I'm not lending my name to this shit. No, no, no, no. Oh, come on. You'll just have Wendy on the show but you won't go up here with her? Come on. You're thinking of Tukey. I don't have Wendy on my show.

That's Tukey you're thinking of. But yes, I would actually be a part of that. And I would endorse it. It'd be great. So what I love about this appearance of John and Mike Kelta is that John goes on these other shows and we break them all down. And it's all people who don't know anything

about what's happening in John's life over the last five years or seven years. and they all just want to talk to him about the Howard Stern show and the Snites show whatever and Mike Helt is paying a little bit of attention. I was on Mike Helt's show back in December I think yeah because we were making fun of Mike Helt's podcast with his wife and he reached out to me He's like I like what you're doing come on my show and I was a call in on his show So he's paying attention to this stuff Wow he knows what the devil verse he knows what's going on So he brings up Chad Zumach and now Chad Zumach of course is a Tampa resident and so he's on Mike Keltas radar and this is hilarious

Speaking of Chad's let me ask you about this. What is this eternal fight between you and Chad Zumach? Who is that? Oh, I listen to me. There's no fight on my end. I mean, you know, but I saw a thing the other day. I don't know. So I don't know. Listen, I know that there is a group of nerds and Chad Zumach is one of them that go on the internet and make fun of other people's

podcasts. They do that to me. I don't care. I blow that stuff off. But I did see a video the other day of you saying that you would fight Chad Zumach and that I would like to see. What I love about this clip is that he goes, what about Chad Zumach? Ah, that's his fight against me. I don't give a shit about that guy. And then Mike Helton goes, that's funny because I saw a video where you were challenging him

to a fight and I'd like to see that. So that puts John in a weird position. Where it's like, are you above this or are you a part of it? Yes. And if he was really listening, he would have heard that Mike just told him I'm aware of these shows if I know what? Watt is and I've searched that name. I know what they're doing to you because I know you and I Obviously check that out so like a good broadcaster He's holding his cards close, and he's seeing how this guy reacts and he reacts with like bullshitting lies and just craziness.

And John responds with like Chad who? Yeah I don't want to give him any air. I'm not fighting with him. Meanwhile John called the cops on Chad. Chad left a note taped to his front door, to John's front door, and John's instinct was to call the police. Which is crazy. I just want to explain this to everyone. If Chad Zumock comes to my house and leaves a note at my door, the last thing I'd do is get the police involved. What if it had mean words on it? I would imagine it would. I doubt there'd be a lot of compliments on it. Chad Zuback was the one who wrote that letter.

And even still, wouldn't call the cops? No, I definitely would not call the cops, I know. In fact, what I would do, Adam, is I would go, oh, I got something to talk about on the next episode of WATP. Which is exactly what Mike just explained to John. He was like, yeah, they attacked me and I had some fun with it. I'd be excited about it.

Yeah, how did you handle this, John? Well, so John explains that he doesn't want to fight with Chad. Oh, I would. Oh, believe me, if I ever ran into him, it would be his worst nightmare. I can arrange. Okay, so I'm sorry, I didn't set that up correctly. Sean explains he would beat the shit out of Chad, which is so weird because he's threatened me. He's like, if I ever see Carl in Cape Coral, which I will run into John in Cape Coral,

this will happen unless he dies in the next couple of months, but it will happen. Cape Coral is not a big place. We go to similar similar places I heard him invite Mike help to a place that I go to all the time so like okay well I will run into John and John always claims he's gonna beat everyone up when that happens it's a weird thing for a 60 year old man to do in my he's made it clear and it you really see it here that he'll oh he's scared he'll always always run. He'll always show up a little early a little late Yeah, well right that did happen to see me tomatoes. Yep. Oh, I would oh Believe me if I ever ran into him he would it would be his worst nightmare

I can rely on the guy because the guy came to my house and put an anti-trans thing on my door when he knew I was in st. Petersburg doing stand-up and You know, I mean, you know, I you know, I have a transgender child and he thought that would be you know That would be funny, but no, I don't take it that way. So yeah, you know, you don't mess with people's kids now I will never stick up for Chad's umack who I think is a giant piece of shit, but Chad wrote, your son is a pussy boy. Or something like that, I'm paraphrasing. Only because John was calling Chad a pussy boy. That's the time. Right. Which is a weird thing to say when

your trans son has a vagina. And we've all pointed this out to John, like, you probably shouldn't use the word pussy boy It's not appropriate considering your circumstances and John understood and he apologized No, he called the cops He goes and cries everyone this cry bully who not stop was talking about like going to Tampa to beat up Chad Oh, I can't wait to fight this guy He's a pussy and then as soon as Chad does somebody just like calls the cops And then goes and everyone shows and cries about it Is it interesting that he had to say he left an anti trans message on my door

My son is true. Did he have to say that part like why did he say that couldn't he have just? Let like what did he think we think he's trans. What is he? Why did he have to qualify that? And if it's so mean, why would he again point to his kid? I'll tell you why Adam. Okay. Because outside of the world where his daughter came out, his daughter came out as gay and then later trans. Outside of that world, he goes, yeah someone put this like transphobic thing on my door And I can't wait to high-five him. You know Mike. I was like that's pretty funny. I know it's pretty good But he because his family has that they just like as offensive to me It's oh interesting

Guy like he he likes to bust everyone's balls He used to use the F slur on the air on the Howard Stern show. He doesn't give a fuck. He's not just the liberal he pretends to be. He throws all those slurs out there. Well, if only everyone could have a son or a daughter like John, then we could all learn to accept everyone. Maybe Chrissy Mayer can someday have an avarisa.

Ed Lerner. I think she could. I really think she could she might given the right circumstances I think she's over to it might happen anyway. That's all other story And it was on with Chrissy Mayer this week. We'll talk about it this up, but Mm-hmm, so what I love about this is that Mike held is like I saw you wanted to fight Chad Zumach I can arrange that fight. I jump for, why is he not jumping at this opportunity? I could make that happen. But I would like, if you and Chad want to fight,

I would love to arrange that. Yeah, but why would I want to even give him an ounce of fame? No, I get that. I get that. I understand that you're going out. You know what I mean, if it was ever gonna happen, if it was ever gonna happen, it would not be, you know,

where he could actually make money because the guy is broke. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So don't. So John's response, after he challenges everyone to fights, is, well, why would I?

I wouldn't want him to make any money off it. He's broke and that's's he's a loser I Thought you hated him and he put a thing in your door and you're pissed at him You don't want to fight you don't want to fight you were challenging to a fight you don't want to fight him because he's broke How's that anybody anybody that's watching this and understands it? has in their mind already a watching this and understands it has in their mind already a dozen memories of John saying any place, anywhere, anytime, I'll come to you, we can meet halfway, I'll pay you. He was like I'm going to send you money.

So this radio guy he's desperate to connect with and have a relationship with is like let's do Crazy Cabbie Point 2 on a national radio show and he goes why would I ever want to do that John just completely chickened out mm-hmm that is the definition of chickening out right there it's like oh I saw you wanted to fight shit I can arrange that ah that's beneath me yeah well that's interesting because John challenges all of us to fights. No, it's like well these guys are challenging, you know, they all want To like you know to fight me because if they fight me then they'll get you know, you know Oh, look, you just got a fourth stuttering John

Mike it is an absurd world. That's why I stopped podcasting because it's just like I mean third world. That's why I stopped podcasting because it's just like, I mean, any time any minute there's about two shows going on, just watching clips from me from 10 years ago and commenting on, you know, a lot of how many nose hairs I have hanging out. So what john's conflating here is people goofing on him like he used to do to Baba Bowie and everyone else on the Stern Show.

And people wanted to fight him. I have never once challenged John to a fight. He's challenged me to a fight multiple times. He has even recently been on just Instagram. It's not even a show, just going, if I ever see Carl in Cape Coral. Like he's constantly challenging me to fisticuffs. And he also challenges everyone else.

He wants to beat up Tukey. He wants to beat up Melton. He went to Melton's house. He went to Kevin Brennan's house. He wants to fight everyone. And then he goes, Mike, you can't believe it. All these guys want to fight me just because they get the notoriety out of it. Having fought Senator Johnson.

It's the exact opposite of that The rest of us have challenged you to roast battles. I've invited John to a roast like come let's do a live show in Philly I'll set it up. We'll get a theater. We'll do dabble con 3 it'll be Suddary John will be there We could do a roast battle or we could do the roast of the surely whatever you want Well, if you're there there we're doing it and Jack goes yeah I just want to fight me for some reason I don't get it roast battles are not how comics settle debates that's not how that's done it actually comedians no it's done in a ring with weapons we need an octagon mm-hmm six ounce gloves and let's we figure it out Mm-hmm and Brendan shop turns out to be the greatest community of all time

Turns out he was right yeah, you're right Fuck fighter of the kids greatest podcast ever I didn't realize Joe Rogan feels so awful right now. Just keep checking your phone He says no to everything he says no to intelligence tests He says no to intelligence tests. He says no to roast battles. He says no to his own standup shows. He says no to one man shows. He says no to anything that might help him. He's scared. He's scared of everything.

He knows he can't cut it. The IQ test thing against Blind Mike, that is like come and gone. That's years ago now. But that was amazing because Blind Mike was like reluctant. He's like, I don't know how smart I am, but I'll do an IQ test against John. And then immediately Drew Lane's like, I'll put up $2,000.

I'll give him $2,000 if he'll do this. And I'm like messaging, I think John and I were maybe friendly at the time or something. And I'm like, John, if you want to do an IQ test against Blind Mike, I got money coming your way, we can make this all happen. And he just runs from everything. He's such a pussy.

He ran from the devil verse. Yeah, there was something with Producer Joe. They were going to fly about to fight. By the way, all of this stuff only comes up because John puts it out there. He says, I want to fight you. So when the person says yes, he blocks them. Producer Joe would get beat up by the wind

He is the smallest guy I've ever seen I love freezer Joe, but he literally was just like I will fight John $10,000 we have the money. Let's go. I will pay John $10,000 to fight me and John just dropped it people would super chat I'm like hey gonna fight Joe's like I don't know what that is He blocked and then he blocked the guy who sent him a message with the offer of course he did all right so let's let's move off of that let's get into John playing his greatest hits if you ever bingo bored out let's remember that John's going to tell you the highlights of his career like this one I asked OJ if he would sign my knife. I mean, come on. I asked OJ if he would sign my knife. Did he? I saw the video of it. OJ was in his limo door closed. And John went, OJ, we

signed my knife. Oh, you didn didn't hear it Didn't get a laugh Still doesn't do the stay a lot of courtesy laughter on the Mike Elton show with their guests I appreciate I got courtesy laughter too when I was out there, so I go I get it. It's a more. It's a radio show That's what they do. It's a radio show you got to act like your guy. This is the best guess so John goes through his usual examples of questions for celebrities of course course, he brings up Joan Rivers, always does that. It's part of his act. What I like about this is that Mike Kelton was a fan of the Howard Stern show and stuttering John.

So he brings up stuff that John doesn't talk about regularly. John's used to just telling people his story. Oh, yeah. And then this happened. And then I said this and then this got a reaction. So he gets John off script, which throws him off. Oh yeah. And then this happened. And then I said this, and then this got a reaction. So he gets John off script, which throws him off. And all of a sudden the stuttering and stammering happens.

Tell you one that sticks out in my head. I remember you asking John Goodman a question and he turned and looked at you with the death eye. And then he looks at you and he goes, are you stuttering John? He was so excited when he saw you. Yeah, that's what the the great Norm MacDonald and I thought everyone would finally get into it and they all would I'm stuttering. They would recognize

me. And so Howard would send other people and he sent somebody to Norm MacDonald and he goes, oh I want stuttering John. So it was fun, man. This I love. And Mike Keltner props to you. You got John off script.

You got him to tell a story he doesn't normally tell. And he's terrible at it. Well, yeah, Norm MacDonald and again, I don't think John's a stutterer. I think he's a moron. Like what you just heard with a lot of you knows and us don't think just a stutterer. I think he's a moron Like what you just heard with a lot of you knows and us that's not a stuttering thing. We've heard stutterers. Yes, Adam you and I We broke down when he was on a show with stutterers and stutterers go John you Got to do a lot of great

Interviews because a stutterer is do just they know what they're yeah, this is what stutterers do. John's just a moron. Yeah, they know what they're gonna say immediately and they're having trouble getting it out. John, you can tell, does not know what he's gonna say. He heard this moment and he had no memory of it because it's not on YouTube and if it's not on YouTube, John doesn't know what happened. And he immediately just panicked and started speaking

before he knew what he was gonna say. And while he's just searching for it, it's just insecurity, it's not a stutter. Yeah. I hope he does more interviews with people who actually know the Howard Stern Show and ask him real questions. And I know that Shuli revisited it not that long ago,

my interview with John. We're kind of on two years now, I think, later this summer. I might have to revisit that because there were so many instances when I asked him questions and he just didn't know how to respond to it. He's terrible at this.

He's gotten very comfortable doing his act and telling the stories that he tells over and over again on these shows. And you see him steer the conversation into the direction he wants to be in. We just broke down that television interview that he did earlier in the week. Wow. He looked like a Venus flytrap. Yeah, just look like. Yeah, yeah. He just cracked himself up. But with shit like this happened. So John starts bragging about his boat

that he owns in Cape Coral. And Mike, brilliant question again. I've made fun of Mike Kelta, made fun of him and his wife. Their podcast is garbage. I haven't listened in a while. Maybe it's better now. But this was a brilliant question. Where are you getting all your money from?

You got Tonight Show money left over? And where are you getting most all your money from? You got Tonight Show money left over and where you getting most of your money from? Yeah, I got that. I mean, I have two pensions from the Writers Guild. I was a staff writer and also I was in SAG AFTRA. I am in SAG AFTRA and I get two pensions. So now I'm just kinda really enjoying life. I mean, my kids are all older.

I got, you know, two of my youngest are in college. And... All right. What are we talking about? So he brought up, I have two pensions twice. He's 59 years old. What do you got, like a bunch of money off the road from this night show?

Like, how are you able to retire and just do your thing? Well, you know, I got, but you got, like a bunch of money left over from this night show? How are you able to retire and just do your thing? Well, you know, I got, but you know, yeah. I got pensions. He took both pensions early, if he's taking pensions. He took both of them early, which means he's losing thousands and thousands of dollars if there's even that much in them to begin with. And I saw Cardiff react to this, and he goes,

he's promoting a stand-up gig. He could just be like, yeah, I'm doing a stand-up now. I'm touring doing stand-up I'm doing conventions John doesn't even think of that That's how far from the truth that could possibly be where it's like where you doing. What are you doing for money these days? I'm promoting a stand-up gig tonight Mike. I told you that I'm doing off the hook tonight. I got shows coming up We're traveling all over the country. That's he's doing cameos I'm killing it on cameo Thing signing autographs you could have said anything instead He goes my kids are in college. I have pensions coming up, and then I don't know if you caught this or not

But he goes I'm a member of sag a-AFTRA. I was, I am. He goes, I was, I am. I was, I am. I mean, I am. He's not. He's not. No. Is he still paying dues?

No, that's why he's not in it. He hasn't been in SAG-AFTRA in years. He hasn't done anything. Yeah. At the best case scenario, he's station 12, which means you're eligible, you have the credits, but you haven't paid your dues. And if you get offered a job, they won't sign your contract until you clear that up with SAG.

And you can do it the night before, but you have to pay. And if you look at his resume, there's no SAG pension. There's no credits. The credits aren't enough to warrant really much of a pension outside of the Jay Leno stuff. And I don't know if that falls just under when it was after because it was television before they merged But that's based on residuals like who's watching the tonight show with Jay Leno. We can't find it and we want it It's gone. We can't find it. It's not airing anywhere. There's no residuals for it. It's not CSI

That's played all over the world There's nothing paying into that pension and even his credits when he puts out his posters, when he looked at the promotion for the show he was doing at Off the Hook in Naples, it showed Dude Where's My Car. What kind of money could be coming in for him in this cameo role for Dude Where's My Car? We've all heard the jokes where people are like, yeah, I got a check in the mail for two cents. And he made that joke. He showed some of his residuals once and one of them might have been for that film. And that would make

sense. That would be his residual would be a couple bucks from his role in that film from that long ago. It was great the year after the film came out. And maybe even that next year. But by now, it's not even being in the writer's guild, which is a thing, it's just like, oh no, I'm set for life, I got a pension. Like, having a pension, you pay into it.

He was a writer for, he claims 10 years, I don't think that's true, whatever, even if it is. That's not enough time to like, I'm able to coast for the rest of my life now. You didn't make enough money, that wasn't your career. That was just like a little gig you had. He's very vague about it, but there's that time there was the writer's strike while he was at The Tonight Show and he didn't strike. So he wasn't in the writers guild at that moment. Interesting. Because Jay kept doing his

shows. And we wrote it himself. he did it without his writing staff. Yeah, and remember Drew Barrymore did that recently when the actors went on strike and it was a big deal. You're being a scab, you're saying. And sometimes you just don't understand and you need some time. Jay Leno had his reasons, they're not great for writers. I understand the rest of the crew,

but if you were a writer or an actor, you would just strike with solidarity That's what you do and he wrote that blog post and even that letter to his lawyer something about it Feeling weird going back to work with Jay why all the writers are on strike. I wish I was there with you Well, then you're not in the writers guild Wow Because the Union went on strike and I didn't strike with them So they either kicked you out or you weren't there. When was that? 2008, 2009?

I don't remember. Something around there. Yeah, around then. And he was already at The Tonight Show for years at that point. So John claims that he was a staff writer. He was brought in as the announcer. He failed. He was given demotions.

He made less and less money. This is all documented. Every time he says, which he did in every interview we've been watching, I was the first stuttering announcer in television history. First of all, you weren't. That was James Earl Jones, who was the announcer for CNN. And number two, I just want someone to ask him,

how long were you the announcer for? Right. Because he would say six months. If that. If that. Yeah. It's like, it didn't work out. And you're still toasting to it. That's, that's tough. All right. So the question comes up about John's kids. I love this. Again, Mike Alta, asking the question that no one else asks when John's on these shows. And Mike's got a son and a daughter. We've talked about it when we covered his show with his wife and so Mike has a great question about John's kids. I asked

this about a lot of celebrities because I have teenage kids do your kids did they think you were cool at any point or you just how does that work out like I'm always trying to make myself seem cool to my kids you seem like you might add it Even a tougher job doing that, too No, I mean they yeah I mean they thought it was cool that they would you know like going all these like great events and everything and they thought that Was pretty cool, but but but then it all turns and they go back and you know I think you know and then watch us that you know doing a butt bongo

Fiesta and I know suddenly a metal set ain't that cool anymore You know, and then watch us doing a butt bongo, butt bongo fiesta. Suddenly I'm not as... I ain't that cool anymore. So that's interesting that John goes, no, no, it was great for a while. We moved up to LA. I had all these celebrity friends and that was probably pretty impressive for them. And then instead of saying the dabble verse, my alcoholism, humiliating myself on the internet, all my detractors, a whole subreddit clowning me for years. But bongo fiesta is when his kids went, Ah, dad's not that cool. Yeah. Which I believe his kids wouldn't like that.

They're progressive. and that's probably very Anti what he pretends to stand for? But to pretend that that's the reason why his kids don't see him as a cool dad You know what kids young kids also don't think is cool the tonight show with Jay Leno, yeah It's like a famous thing that any actor or artist with kids has a kid that doesn't think they're cool and only thinks you're cool when you tell them you met Sabrina Carpenter or something. That they think is

cool. Like on every talk show the celebrity says yeah you know they were excited I work with this youtuber they were not and it's a true thing It's true. Yeah, it's your father. You're just not cool. You're always not cool So for him to say that when we know it's not true There's nothing he did that would appeal to kids and put it on Howard It was Howard's fault if only Howard didn't have that kind of taste. That's incredible, isn't it? Was that a pay-per-view special or something why your kids watching? Special right yeah, that's not even it's not here. No there the devil first. It's what your kids are seeing It's why the kids don't talk to you anymore at least one of them. I don't know I don't know the answers

I what I do know is that we have a thing called super tip that gg slash Watt all the kids are talking about that called super tip dot gg slash w ATP. All of the kids are talking about that. It's the biggest news in the dabble verse. And I appreciate Joe for hanging out over there. You an abortion guy? No, but I heard some podcaster whose name starts with a K is what was his name again? Carlos? It's call you stupid idiot. Quit being a wise ass and just say it. Thank you very much. Joe anonymous coming in. I drink lots of Heineken. It wasn't for me. I drank lots of Coors. It wasn't

for me. I drink lots of Jenny lights. They were just right. PS everyone loves a battle of the bands. Good point, John. Thank you for that. Anonymous with $20 coming in. Adam and Carl, the great dabble duo. Thank you, Anonymous. Thank you. I wouldn't want to show my face after saying that either. I get it. We appreciate you.

I wanted to fight Carl. It wasn't for me. I wanted to fight Chad. It wasn't for me. I wanted to fight Chad, it wasn't for me. Now I am lining up a Lucy tight box main event. Good luck with that. Everyone's trying to line up a Lucy tight box main event. It's not for everyone. She's busy representing skinny Chad in the dabble court.

That's true. Rape her butt five bucks. How much does it cost to slap the national lampoon name on a movie i donate to national lampoon presents the dabble verse yeah it wouldn't be expensive raper but it wouldn't be expensive let's make it happen and that is what happened you can purchase that yes mark turnquist 10 bucks will you be doing any special coverage of steeltoe sentencingencing? An emergency pre or post-sentencing show maybe? I would, yes, yes.

Watch for, watch this channel, watch for this little piggy. That's getting very interesting, the Aaron Imholz story. Yeah. I don't know what's gonna happen with that. I'm sure nothing. It'll be like everything else. Nothing will happen, but that letter his mom had to write to the judge. That's a weird relationship. He's becoming a mature young man. He's made some disappointing decisions,

but don't we all when we're younger. He's 37 years old. He's a father. He's a father of three. OG Bumbley Nick Five Blocks. Great show guys. If you need recommendations as far as the best places in Boston to go for the after party, just let me know. Good luck on Saturday. Yes. Isn't Nick going to be there? I hope so. I hope so too. And yes, let us know. Where should we go? We'll definitely have an after party.

I'm uh, we'll definitely have an after party N word Epsler says John gets his money from the sag assay fund Or osa sag it is osa. Yeah, but the joke the sag assa fund. Yeah, it sounds like a stress for sons. I Don't know what I'm doing here Killing it. It's an emergency shell. This was an emergency you know what we're doing. All right, let's get back to this interview. And John does this thing, he always does this with hosts, especially people he respects

and looks up to. We try to get them on his side where he goes, you couldn't blame me, right? Wouldn't you be doing the same thing? And this is him doing that with Mike so I'm a question Mike so if if in fact you did have a Transgender child and some nobody like a hack Comic came to your door and put some anti-trans stuff to your door when you want to do what I was to your door. Wouldn't you want to do what I would do if I was... So, Mike, let me ask you a question.

I'm justified in my crazy actions, right? Let me ask you a question, John. What if a established doctor of note came to your door and was well respected and he taped an anti-trans letter to your door? Would you then... Like, why do you have to set it up like it's? This horrible person. What if it's uh? What's the difference John? Yeah? No, no he and this came back around for no reason till he's like now

I brought up Chad to my girl you actually Mike's only brought up Chad to my don't you think I'm right and hating this guy It's just like I don't know man. I'm not fighting your fights I do what you want to do and Mike already said it though the Carl and those guys Don't you think I'm right in hating this guy? It's just like, I don't know, man. I'm not fighting your fights. Do what you want to do. And Mike already said it. Carl and those guys, yeah, they made fun of me. I brushed it off, moved on. How about you, John?

Yep. Well, this is funny because Mike starts to take little shots at John. And he's promoting a Tuesday night gig at Off the Hook in Naples. We're talking a stuttering John, John Melendez, who is going to be doing comedy tonight at Captain Brian's off the hook comedy club. What do you just have a one nighter there? Yeah, just one nighter is the first time I mean, I just moved here

in July. And I love that. So we're doing just a one nighter thing in a comedy club on a Tuesday Yeah, just a one-nighter. I just moved here in July Neither here nor there You're stuttering John Melendez from the Howard Stern show. Why are you playing just a Tuesday night and off the hook in Naples? Well, I just moved here in July. Oh That makes sense. Yeah You know This is the second appearance where they made the same comment to him because they're used to doing these and that's Surprising to see they promote these comics in the local area and they know oh, oh, okay

Well, good luck usually when they have a comic on their show and we're talking about the TV appearance He did and then Mike delta. It's like, all right catch John. He's got two shows Friday two shows Saturday Yeah, maybe a show on Sunday or maybe show on Thursday like they're used to telling their audience like you can catch them all weekend It says just like so it's just the one show tonight Well, I just moved here and as we found out from the other shell John's been bugging the owner of this place to get him on ever since he moved there And the guy finally broke down and said I'll give you a Tuesday See what you could do. I still haven't heard reports. I haven't checked that was anonymous

I still have her reports back on how that show went You know John told us that information by choice. He did he didn't have to say he wore down the Booker and was given this Tuesday He could have just said I'm so happy to be there with a great club Correct. I I couldn't do this weekend, so I did a Tuesday instead because I'm busy this weekend. This is going to suck. If he can't go to his local club regularly, this is going to be difficult. Honestly, Gilbert Gottfried used to come to Rochester and just do a Tuesday night at the comedy club. And Tuesday night, as everyone knows, is band practice night for me. And I'd have to cancel band practice, but I'm going to see Gilbert Gilbert Gottfried because Gilbert is a guy who's touring and he's playing every

weekend so to get him so if he's like between Buffalo and Philadelphia and we can get him in Rochester on a Tuesday great let's get him you know some out the room and we'll all be there makes perfect sense John lives down the street from this place and is playing a Tuesday night. Very different scenario. And had to convince the guy. Where I'm down to do that. All right, so this is where John wants a friend. John needs friends in Florida. He doesn't have many of them. And so Mike Kelt is just up

the road in Tampa. And John's like, Oh, maybe we could be friends. I want to come out on the boat. We were where we go. We go fishing. What do you do? You hang out? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, anytime I would love to have you ever come to the Cape. I do. And so next time, and I don't know how far you are from Captain Brian's, but every time every once in a a while I get a buddy or somebody who's doing stand up down there and I'll come down there and hang out for the weekend So for sure next time I come down there, I would love to hang out and you can stay at my house I mean, I got a great house and you know, thankfully my house is built in 2023 so, you know, so it's hurricane proof because I mean I was on that, you know with Okay You know, so it's hurricane proof because I mean I was on the you know with Okay

Chad's such a stuttering man. He's such a stammering idiot on this show Mike if you're listening to me Mike Alta, I think I have his phone number. I'll text him You have to go to John's house. I need to hear Mike give us the play- play of stepping into John's house and witnessing the horrors firsthand. It would be amazing. And the fact that Mike goes, I'll come out on the boat with you. What do you do? Do we go fishing? What do we do? The answer is you drink. Right. You're on the Gulf of Mexico and then you drink is the answer to that.

But the fact that John goes, you can stay at my house, and he wanted to explain that he has a brand new house, so he goes, it's a 2023 build, which means it's hurricane proof. Now, Adam, I live in this neighborhood, I know a thing or two about it. Many of the homes are hurricane proof. Hurricanes are not a new thing to the area

It's that it's not just like in 2023. They're like should we start building these homes so they can withstand a hurricane Yeah happens every year it seems yeah. Yeah, it does. Maybe we should maybe we should start doing that now Does he actually think the cult was on the fence about staying with him until he knew that they'd be safe in a hurricane? No, he wanted to say he's got a new house. He wanted to brag that he's got a new house. It built in 2023. It's a new house. It's already trashed, John. We've seen it. We saw what happened to your house. Unfortunately. Does he not know that most adults or people his age, professionals, don't want to stay with other people?

Like if they're coming in for a trip, they like having their own space generally. If they can afford it, it's a thing. No shit. If someone offers me a place to crash, like I went to LA not that long ago, and I have friends in LA. Christian Blatt, obviously Dick Masterson, couple other guys that I know and had meetings with.

What was staying with the Blats like? What was that like? Yeah, I got in the Airbnb. Yeah. Jen and I stayed in our own space and we got a rental car and we, or no, we actually didn't get a rental car because that's a ridiculous thing to do

and now we took Ubers and we went to visit people and had meetings and stuff. I never thought for a second that I'd be staying at someone's house. It'd actually be weird. Yeah. I'd rather spend the money if you're on tour. You're a comic you're saving money I get it Yeah, especially in Naples like I'm sure it's not the biggest inconvenience to get a cheap hotel somewhere Rather than stay with John's cats next to the shitter room. There's not a lot to do in Cape Coral either

There's not a ton of reasons Unless John was like I got a pool There's a canal in the backyard. That's like all right. That sounds cool That's my house. Oh Alright, so this is what bummed me out right here is that John is inviting Mike down to Cape Coral and John is inviting Mike down to Cape Coral and Explaining what they would do together if you were to come down and visit him Oh, yeah, I would love for you to come out and you know, you know, you know, I'm thinking a lobster lady Wow Hey you

That bumps me out. I go I love lobster lady But I always go there every time we go down to the house and I was like, oh fuck John likes lobster lady Am I gonna run into John and lobster lady is that what's gonna happen? Probably. Yeah, son of a bitch Listen to how I'm gonna play that again. Let's not like Listen how Mike blows this off cuz that's such a like weird thing You're talking to a very affluent guy who can go out to eat any night. He wants to He's not looking for a handout and for John to be like all you got to come down. I'll take you to lobster lady Which is in a strip mall. It's it's fine. Oh, it's yeah. I mean like I said I go there. It's fine

It's not the state of the earth whatever They actually have a claw game You know those claw games where you can go in and try to grab a stuffy or a prize They have one of those live lobsters. Oh, that's funny cuz it's cruel Yeah, yeah Cuz you can go and just grab a live lobster and then if you you're able to grab it They'll cook it for you and bring it out to your table I like to name it and develop a relationship with it before I eat it that way I can really contest where I murder

animals I'm not against it. My point is that it's not like an upscale they're very good food there it's very nice but they also have a claw game with lobsters not the point moving on this is Mike held his reaction to John inviting him to lobster lady yeah I would love for you to come out and you know look you know you know I'm taking a lobster lady Hey you you talk to Jay Leno often or no? Probably the last time I saw him and when I was in I was in LA he was at flappers and

And he crushed it and he was and he was with his wife And then and then we were backstage and then suddenly like a week later Like we heard that you know that you know that she's in a conservatorship now Yeah, and I had no idea but Just a Jay Leno at all no the answer is no I Don't I don't have a relationship with Jay Leno Jay Leno was just in Naples Yeah, February for a charity event at Hertz arena Mm-hmm John could have reached out to him Jay could have reached out to John could have been there could have been a part of it

He wasn't no, so the answer is no But at least he gave out some medical information about the family. Well, then it's pretty well known. It is pretty well known. It is, but why would you even say that? The funny thing is, I just saw his wife and she seemed fine, but turns out she has dementia. That's really funny, John.

Are these the kind of jokes we can expect at your show? Good stuff. Well, then they start talking about Jay, and we find out that Jay Leno is a mensch, as we all know. And we find out why that is. It's because Jay paid John money, which makes him a great guy. You know, and they were like, well, Jay, Jay, would you step down? Jay said, Yeah, okay, I'll leave. But on the one condition, you pay the staff, the 150 people that worked for him, you pay

them their full salaries up until September. And then I got like a six-figure check. I mean, all in alum sum, and Jay did that for us. Wow, that's great. That's something that Howard would never ever do. Always be bashing. So John's talking about what a great guy Jay Winow is and it's all because he paid him money. So Jay's a great guy and completely unnecessary just goes Howard wouldn't do that.

What's most moving about what Jay did for John is that he did it for John when John was a nobody? When John had no credits, it was just a lowly kid on Long Island. Jay Leno was like I believe in this guy I'm gonna what was that not Jay? Thinking of Howard actually was the asshole who screwed you on. Okay. I see Credits or anything took a real risk. I see in his life. Yeah, it's it's crazy to me That John can't stop bashing Howard Stern He's just he can't got his own way with this Even though as we've seen in the the other interview. He's like oh, you know I love

Howard I would love to hang out with him if he called me. I'd love to come on the show. It's like he's the one to burn that bridge. And yet he acts like Howard's the problem. I know a kid who interned for a famous director when he got out of college. And then the director was very mean to him, didn't really teach him much, was kind of a dick. Had him run errands and that was it.

And now this kid went on to become a very famous director. And people have asked them, hey, we heard you interned for this famous person. What was it like? Do you know what this guy says? I bet he says something like, he's fantastic and I appreciate it. Taught me everything he knows. Taught me everything he knows. And now they're like working on a project together because

this guy knows business why are you shitting on everybody John it's not good for Calta it's not good for you you can make jokes you just don't have to shit on everyone and give up their medical info well so Mike says you know I heard the Howard Sterns been calling all these people that he's wronged in the past and he's trying to make amends and he goes has he called you and I know this for a fact like Howard called brother Weas and Apologized for what he said about brother Weas's kid And I know he's gone through and called a lot of people like, you know what? I was a dick

I should have done these like some weird 12-step that Howard's going through. And so this is John's response to that. I love his wife Beth. I mean, I mean, she's great. And if Howard ever asked me or called me it would be totally I would love to hear from him. You know, I don't have any luck. I mean, you know, if you work with someone that long and I was in his like I was in his in a circle I was sleeping at his house in Southampton and I was You know when I was having dinner with him and Ozzy and you know, it was I mean, you know He was a great friend. So what about Gary? You don't talk to Gary either

Probably I was a guy. He's a nice guy. I don't really have anything bad to say even Fred. He's not answering any questions. No. Has Howard called you? I was in his inner circle. We were tight. What about Gary so thought to him? Oh, Gary's cool. Even friends great. The answer is no. John talks to none of these people. He's burned every bridge.

They all hate his guts. And rightfully so. Because John decided to take his platform and turn it into the bashing everyone he ever worked with channel. He could have said, you know, I felt bad even before that and reached out and it might have been Beth, but we cleared the air and we sent some messages and everything's cool. Like just say that so the fans feel good, you feel good, Howard if you were to ever see it would be like oh that was better than I expected.

You don't have to do all this stuff. You know we just heard you shitting on him. We just heard you calling him cheap and saying he doesn't compare to Jay Leno. I'd give him a hug when I saw him. Why? He's a cheap guy who held you back. Yeah, no, none of it connects. It just depends on how he's asked the question. If Mike Kelter had been like, I heard Howard's tough to work for.

It would have been, yeah, fuck that guy. Boom, boom, boom, boom. It said Mike Kelter is like, dude, I was a big fan of Howard's. So what was it like working with him? And oh? Yeah? No, he's great. He's really gay like John Doesn't have like a strong stance about anything he wants to bash That's his instinct. Yes. He's hoping to Bring other people in like yeah Howard's a prick. Why's great, he, Leno gave me a bunch of money,

Howard didn't, so he's great, Howard sucks, and he doesn't seem grateful for anything in his life. And that brings us back to the point of this whole thing and tying it even to who are these podcasts, is that we're reviewing podcasts and shows and appearances and interviews, and this guy, guy John is not doing a show.

He does not care about the audience. He doesn't care about his fans or Calta's fans or promoting his show. He just needs the person he's talking to to like him and respect him and get their approval. And that's all he's doing at the expense of everyone and everything. He'll burn it all down. Just tell me you love me. Yes. Now, I went on Drew Lane's show on Tuesday,

this interview happened Tuesday morning, I went on Drew's show Tuesday, and the main thing that I pointed out about his appearance, if we didn't talk about it all just now, is that there's this chick Sandy Carman, who goes by Carmen on the show and John had this recurring bit where he was hitting on Carmen. Oh your voice sounds so hot you must be so hot. Oh did you know I have a house in Cape Coral and a boat and I have a comedy

show and just constantly hitting on this chick. I'm not even gonna I have those clips I did it on Drew's show check it out on the Drew Lane show'm not even gonna, I have those clips. I did it on Drew's show, check it out on the Drew Lane show on his YouTube channel. But I do have this one clip that I wanna play because this is amazing. And thank God for Mike Kelter because as we heard, he's bringing up Chad Zumach, he's bringing up the fact that,

yeah, I go on the internet, I see people who are like making fun of you and stuff. And so the devil verse does get brought up. Like this whole thing they call the dabble verse, Mike, is just everybody focused on me. You would think I was George Clooney. You would think I was Chad. I saw it.

I mean, Carmen's Chad. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I love the fact that when John first started tackling this dabble verse this idea that WTP and the Uncle Rico show and you know whether it's baloney factory or Cardiff electric or any of these other shows we're starting to talk about it was like these are nobodies no one knows who they are I'm bigger than all of them now he's going on shows and that was early in the interview, bringing up the dabble verse.

This is what his life has become. It is the dabble verse. He really believed he could keep them separate. Yeah, he did. And it's not possible. Opie tried it for years. Opie was successful at doing it for years, and now Opie's all in on talking about the dabble verse

and mentioning us and everyone who makes one of them. It gets to a point in these guys careers where they realize there is more noise than there is fanfare. And it's got to be a weird transition for them where you go from, all right, there's some detractors, whatever, I don't care about that, not even gonna give him air, not gonna give him the light of day, to the point where now you're defending yourself against this huge group of people that outweighs your fan base.

He used to get by because if it would come up, he could say whatever he wanted, nobody had seen these clips. But now he's talking to someone who chances are when you say they started it they drew first blood they might be able to tell well then why are you threatening to burn down his house right here why are you threatening to beat up his or lose his job like all that stuff we can see it yeah John literally was he put out this video back in like February so I was like if I ever see Carl and Cape Coral it's just like I don't make videos like that I'm not looking to fight John I

literally went to Stevie tomatoes to talk to him and he ran away mm-hmm so it's a very different dynamic than I have by the way there are over 1,100 people watching us on this emergency episode, impromptu, who are these podcasts, with my buddy, Adam Busch. Adam, thanks for being here. I'm gonna play for you in just a moment. Mike Kelter's segment from the next day addressing the Sildering John interview.

Fantastic. Which is great. But first, I wanna thank people who are supporting the show, like Midnight Mike Show, Bills Suck, WTP of the Devilverse are terrific, I was gonna say terrified, are terrific. Jack continues to amaze me, no self-awareness for decades. Midnight Mike Show, thank you,

the Bills are actually pretty good. They've been pretty good for a while. Believe they've won the division five years in a row, but good luck to the Jets or whoever you're rooting for. Rumble Trench Co. to come up podcast, five bucks. So Mike, if someone put anti-trans stuff on your door, wouldn't you say you want to fight them, but then turn them down every offer to actually do it? That's a good point. He's like, wouldn't you want to fight that guy? And he's like, yeah, I'm trying to coordinate that right now. And and Mike even like it might be in the clip

We're about to play explains that he has the means to set up a fight between these two and how that would work Mike V five bucks. Will you be having clear water chat out again? No, he's a great guest and has an inside scoop on some interesting news. Oh, I see what you're doing here Mike V. I See what you're trying to sabotage my show. I see what you're up to. I'm not falling for that. I think he's just a Clearwater Chat fan. I don't understand.

I think he's trying to sabotage my show, if I'm not mistaken. Supertip.gg slash WTP is still open. We still have that available for people if they want to participate in the show. So thank you to Cardiff, the great Cardiff Electric for sending me this clip before we started the show today because this is Mike Kelta.

I guess he got some backlash for having John on his show on Tuesday and this is on Wednesday addressing that. on Tuesday and this is on Wednesday addressing that. Really? Also, Stuttering John was on the show yesterday. I have to tell you, I like John. I like him because I grew up listening to him when he was on Howard show. I don't really know him outside of the times that we've spent on this show together. And he seems like a fine fine guy I know that there is a contingent of people that I mean you're a loser. That's your life. It's that's your life

Yeah, why I'm not even defending John I don't really care if you want to fight with John fight him but the amount of I just checked my Twitter for the first time yesterday. Oh my god There's like a whole little brigade of people who hate starting to somebody DM me Do you want to comment on your interview with Stuttering John? I'm like comment to who? What do you want? What are they? I don't know. I guess if they're on this guy's side or that guy's side Yeah, unless the guy was like touching kids or doing some kind of committed some crazy crime or something who the f cares

No, I just anyway That is one of the things that they accuse them of oh really grooming I'm not saying that I don't think John's grooming children are doing anything like that I don't think John's grooming children are doing anything like that Specifically says on the banner of his show that no PDF files have ever or will ever be employed here And he made it clear when his students come up to him. He goes like this Co-host has a lawsuit coming down the pipe. We're not accusing him of that But I like that he goes like what is he like a child touches him and Mike like I did hear something

That's not the case now, we're just we're just cloudy guy who sucks at life. I promise you that If we got that serious, we wouldn't be having so much fun with that obviously The young for I don't know Yeah, but the big thing now is John was on the show yesterday and said he was on a boat He had a boat. But now people are telling me that it's not his boat. It's his name. This is hilarious.

This is the thing. The feedback that Mike got and we just played all the important clips from the interview, the feedback he got was Mike, you idiot. John doesn't own a boat, which is a very funny thing that he got so many messages he had to address that. I get messages from people all the time about things I mess up on the show, and if I feel like it's egregious enough

and I was out of my mind, I'll address it. But for the most part, I just ignore it. I'm like, all right, maybe I'll respond to someone individually. But Mike must have gotten so many notes about John bragging about his boat that's not his that he felt the need to address that error. Well it's so easily avoidable because John's the one who said, I just bought a boat.

I bought a boat. Since I just moved here I just did this expensive purchase. You gotta come with me on my boat. Which led to, where are you getting your money from John? Yes. So he could have just said, I love Florida, I love going out on a boat, I love the dolphins, me and my buddy, but he had to humble, or just brag, and now he's getting called out for it.

Adam, that's a good point, because I see John through a whole different lens now because of my relationship with him and how well I kind of know him at this point. Any celebrity who's on a show never tells you what they own. They're actually embarrassed by it. It's actually a show never tells you what they own. They're actually embarrassed by it. Yeah.

It's actually a weird thing where you're like, I own a boat. You'd be like, well, yeah, you're centering John from the Tonight Show. I would hope you'd be able to buy a boat, you know? You wouldn't say, I bought one. Like he has to lie. I bought one.

That's the one thing you didn't do. You have access to one. We all know it's a lie. But even a celebrity who did buy a boat would say what you just said. Oh I'm going out on a boat, it's so much fun, there's dolphins jumping around, my buddy, you know, we're hanging out. Yeah, because they'd be telling a story where who owns the boat would be the least interesting or important part of the story. This is the only point and

part of the story he cares about only point and part of the story He cares about the dolphins are made up and an afterthought like he just wants to brag. Yes, you're right But the big thing now is John was on the show yesterday and said he was on a boat They had a boat, but now people are telling me that it's not his boat. It's his neighbor I don't give a rat's ass whose boat is Carmen can you take that interview down yeah are you serious not his boat something I actually said you should do some research gosh I mean I feel like that changes everything I did not know it was not his boat no one's ever been on a show and lied about something before or did it you know I mean? I mean, that's insane. Had you known about the boat? I imagine you would

have canceled the interview. The only thing I did bring up was Chad Zuma. Yeah. And that's because him and Chad seem to be fighting with each other and wanting to make it physical. And I get John's point where he doesn't want to lend, give any credence to Chad by no Mike, you were right. They were both talking about fighting each other time out where they're gonna meet up when they were gonna fight all of this is true so you were completely right to bring this up physically fighting him and elevating his status but Chad seemed to be aggressive about it and I my thing is just selfish I don't really care about either one of them fighting each other. It's just that I can, I can't do the punch out with our employees

fighting, but I could do with other people fighting. So if I had John and Chad agree to fight each other at the punch out, well, we might be back in business on the back. Yeah. So this is the whole thing. When Mike brought that up, it's like, I saw a video of you challenging him to a fight Mike's got an event coming up. He's just like I can have these two fight each other This would be great like you mentioned before and you didn't see this yet But you're like this would be the crazy cabbie thing all over again. It's a radio event. You have Promotion there's gonna be a built-in audience for it. Like this is it. This is what you want It was the best moment in John's life. I promise you, he spent days of his life rewatching that.

He knows every word, he brings it up all the time. I believe it's part of the thing that broke him. It was such a Detroit Rock City impossible fantasy that nothing else could compare because he thought it was real. And this guy is willing to give you your comeback, your 2.0 against your actual enemies, and you won't even entertain it.

John and Chad agree to fight each other at the Punch Out. Well, we might be back in the fight business. Can we see if they wanna do it on John's neighbor's boat? Oh, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know if the people will go for that. John Melendez' neighbor's boat. John Melendez' neighbor's will go for that John-Melinda's neighbors boat John-Melinda's neighbors boat John-Melinda's neighbors boat

It's hard, it's hard, but we can get there What were you saying during the break that uh Okay, so it changes the subject But I just love how much shit he got from people for not calling John out And who owns the boats and the fact that he wouldn't fight Chad even though he was screaming about fighting Chad and how tough he is. I suspect he heard a lot of things about what John has been up to and the boat was the only one he could comfortably say on the radio. That's a very good point. The fact that he even

had to address all the nonsense he got after that, he should have just like, oh here's the stuff that I can say. Yep, ask him about the student teaching, ask him about court. I think it's worth noting that for some reason, after all of this, Mike Coulter blocked Cardiff. What? On X or Twitter, he blocked him.

Why? Cardiff went to go, I think Cardiff posted about it, and then he went to go post something and he realized he blocked him. Cardiff went to go, well he I think Cardiff posted about it and then he went to go post something and he realized he was blocked and he he's like I don't think it happened before this so something happened maybe John said something or I don't know but he's blocked. I thought that was very interesting. That is that's odd. Cardiff is a troll. So part of me gets it. I never blocked Cardiff, but he was trolling me for a long time.

I didn't really understand what he was up to. But that's weird. I assume that Mike Kelton's got a team or something, right? Not necessarily. I don't know what his relationship with social media is. Yeah, me neither. However, I do think if that co-host of his was lying for about a year and bragging about owning something and then it was revealed at the

Radio Christmas party that he didn't own it at all. It might come up on the show and be a boy It would be just like whatever it's in someone's boat. Yeah, you're right. That's a good point I know little thing about Morning radio and yeah, they would hold them more accountable for these things I think they might be looking for a little in-house drama and yeah they would hold them more accountable for these things. I think they might be looking for a little in-house drama. Yeah. Red4735b says, John just doesn't get that celebrity culture isn't as interesting anymore especially Hollywood.

That is true. Yeah. We're not that impressed. COVID really drove it home. All those videos that people made. We were just like, yeah, we don't we don't care, man. We're not that impressed with you anymore. Nick Ricada is here. Ricada Law. Hey.

Honestly, I so peeked behind the curtains yesterday. I'm all excited prepping for the show because I started prepping for it prepping for Drew's show because I'm pulling the Sittering John clips on my Kelta and I'm like, I'm only going to pull a couple for Drew and the rest are for WTP. So I have all these clips ready to go. And so I start off Wednesday with some of my show prep already done, which is great. And then I spent the next five hours doing show prep because I'm an idiot. I can't help myself. Then we get to the show and I'm like, well, we don't

need to get to this Mike Hilton stuff, you know. It's just, I'm an idiot. I need to stop prepping so much so that we can just do a show. I don't have to clear out the computer afterwards. It's such a high class problem and it's so the opposite problem than anyone else has in the dabble verse. I think you can just hold on to it. Thank you.

It's not the worst thing you could do. No, we're drowning in the opposite everywhere I turn. Appreciate it. And a bush great to see you buddy. I'll see you in Boston w ATP live.com is where you want to go. I will see you there.
