Also, we encourage our listeners to give us a five star review wherever they review podcasts and then shit all over us in the comment section because it's funny.
Starting point is 00:03:44 Today we'll be reviewing a show called the Howard Stern show. We have both listened separately. We have not discussed it with each other beforehand. Let's get into it. The show is hosted by Howard Stern and Robin Quivers. And the reason why we're talking about Howard Stern today is because he's back. He's back from vacation. He takes a few months off in the summertime these days. And then he comes back after Labor Day with his big show. And my thought is, Howard's been tedious for a while. I've used the word slog. There are times when I'm listening to Howard, I'm like, this is a slog.
Starting point is 00:04:17 But when he comes back, it's going to be great because he's got all these stories and all this information. The whole team has been working all summer without him to put together a great show. And so I was very excited. And you listen to this episode. What do you think? Are you excited that he was back with all this new content for us? I had a lot of mixed feelings. It was a lot of confusion. I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what kind of show he's trying to do. Yeah. It's interesting. It reminds me of like when you go see Willie Nelson now and it's so amazing that Willie can still do it and we're all applauding that.
Starting point is 00:04:54 It's like, wow, he's still doing it. I don't know how it happens. But we don't go see Willie daily and for four hours every morning. You know, there's moments where he's making fun of Gary and I'm like, God, there it is, there's that thing, and they're doing it, and I'm having this feeling and we're driving across the bridge and I'm like, this is taking me back, this is getting me through this drive.
Starting point is 00:05:13 But what used to be a interstitial 30 second thing in between bits is now the bit and extended for like an hour and it becomes very slow and clearly very scripted. And yes, very scripted. That's a great point. So I want to get into some of the different segments in here, but I'll just point out, I actually thought, because I've said this before when I review Howard Stern, it's the hardest work I do on this show because it's very slow. And the way how we're talks now is there's no sense of urgency. It's like, I just need to fulfill this contract, which means three and a half hours of content. But I actually thought that this episode was better. It was
Starting point is 00:06:00 paced better. He was moving a little bit. It felt like the whole staff had some energy. All right, we're back on the air again. And I give him credit for that Now we're gonna get into the reasons why it was a slog I think part of it is because i'm so used to listening to podcasts now. I mean i'm a huge howard guy I assume you are too adam Yeah, so I think that howard stern is what introduced me to this world And now it's evolved so much that there aren't people who need to fill four hours
Starting point is 00:06:29 for someone's morning commute anymore. And so there's no reason to do a four hour show. And Howard would be much better if it's like, just do an hour. That's why we do a three hour show. I know, we do way too long. I've been saying this, how many years have I been saying, Chris, we've been saying Chris we got cut down the light let's add another show in the week I know that was the point so they wouldn't be so long
Starting point is 00:06:52 Wednesday's supposed to be quick get to the point move on anyway So I want to start off with talking about I talked about this with Drew Lane yesterday if anyone caught me on his show, but I think this is worth discussing because Howard actually did something over his summer vacation. He was not happy about it, but he did it. He was a guest on Smartless, the show featuring Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and that other guy.
Starting point is 00:07:18 And at this show, they performed at Stephen Talkhouse on, I think that's near Howard's house, if I'm not mistaken. I think they had to put it in a venue that Howard could get to very easily. So they're explaining that there's 60 people in attendance to watch Howard on Smartless. And Gary's job is still to kiss Howard's ass.
Starting point is 00:07:45 Jimmy Fallon, Bradley Cooper, John Hamm. Yeah, they were in the audience. George Stephanopoulos. There were a lot of people there. Andy Cohen. That must be a pretty important show for all those guys to be sitting in their audience. Joe, they were there for you.
Starting point is 00:08:00 Really? I'm telling you, every one of those people came to see you. I don't know if that's true because Smartless is a very popular show Really? I'm telling you every one of those people came to see you. I don't know if that's true because Smartless is a very popular show and those guys are very popular in Hollywood Yeah, so they have a lot of celebrity friends that would maybe go to something like that I don't know Adam. Do you think that was odd that Gary had to say like no all of them were there for you Howard You're the greatest. I interviewed all of them. You're right. These events happen at Stephen Tocque house all the time It's the only venue in the Hamptons that can host music.
Starting point is 00:08:27 So it's very small. It only holds 60 people. Every celebrity goes to every show there. Oh, interesting. Okay, I didn't know about this venue. A famous paparazzi spot. Because it's the only venue in town. Okay, because Drew was asking me,
Starting point is 00:08:40 he's like, why would they do a show that only holds 60 people? They could have sold out a theater with 3,000, 5,000 people for this event. Like, yeah, they could have. But they were trying to keep it podcast intimate, and that's a small venue for big names like that. And of course, it's in the Hamptons.
Starting point is 00:08:54 They know everyone will be polite. Right. OK, that makes a lot of sense now. So Howard's confused, and Robin's out of it. They don't understand what the media world has evolved into. I didn't know there was an audience. These guys had me on their podcast and they go, oh, there's an audience.
Starting point is 00:09:15 And I go, why would you have an audience at a radio show? I mean, doesn't it kind of break the intimacy? Howard, this is how I get one. Yeah, podcast is supposed to be in somebody's living room or their spare bedroom. It's not supposed to have an audience. Robin's still got it. If you do a podcast in your spare bedroom, that's where podcasting happens. She has no idea.
Starting point is 00:09:39 I mean, these are shows that are getting these huge deals. Kill Tony is an arena show now These people have no idea what's going on with with podcasting Why would you do it in front of an audience? Well, because there's a whole audience people who will come out to see that I went and saw my dad wrote a porno and Nice theater in in Manhattan and those guys were just on tour They just tour I mean a lot of these podcasts are doing this now. They just tour with their show. Howard has always said he doesn't do podcasts. He doesn't get it. He thinks that these people haven't paid their
Starting point is 00:10:13 dues. He doesn't understand why people would listen to podcasts because the host of the show didn't even do morning drive in Vancouver so why would you even listen to this and he's still confused about this I was I don't know I'm sitting at home really happy that I have you know a summer break and I was like oh this is so fucking awesome I don't think in my entire working life I've ever experienced such joy. And so I get the call. First I got a call from Jimmy Kimmel telling me, you know, you're friends with Jason Bateman and Will Arnett. Those guys want you on the podcast, why aren't you going on? I go, Jimmy, I don't do any podcasts. He goes, you should really change your mind about that. These guys want you on their podcast. I go
Starting point is 00:11:08 Yeah, no, no offense But I really don't want to do a podcast. I like those guys don't get me wrong and all everyone listens to their podcasts I go, okay, but you know, I still don't want to be on a podcast now. There's two things going on here first It's Howard's ego He's been rallying against here. First, it's Howard's ego. He's been rallying against podcasts. He hates Joe Rogan. He doesn't want to be on a podcast.
Starting point is 00:11:30 But two, he's on vacation. He doesn't want to do anything ever anyway, let alone in the middle of August. When he's on vacation. And summer break for him is summer, all three months. Yes, correct. He doesn't do anything. There's no working to be done.
Starting point is 00:11:46 So the fact that Jason Bateman couldn't get him on the phone to ask him to come on the show, or Will Arnett, those guys have done Howard Show many times. They're all friendly. But for some reason, Jimmy Kimmel had to jump in to get his buddy Howard to do this show. You know the real reason he did it. Why is that?
Starting point is 00:12:04 It came out later on, he said it very fast and it really did kinda hurt. The only reason he did it is because Smartless is on Sirius and Sirius agreed to make this one of his episodes. So in exchange for not having to go to work for one more day, he did the Smartless podcast. I have that clip, this is crazy right here,
Starting point is 00:12:22 check this out. So Howard was not going to do this. And I think just the word podcast turns him off because everything else about this, you'd be like, no, these are giant celebrities. This is a big deal. Of course you're going to do this show. But he didn't even know at the time
Starting point is 00:12:36 that SiriusXM had just acquired or whatever the word would be smart list for $100 million, which he should know that. He's worked for that company for quite a while. I think he owns a lot of stuff. He's got time on his hands to read the news. So for some reason, he didn't know that's why Jimmy Kim was like, dude, you should really do this. And so this is the reason why you ended up doing the show. Okay, we want Howard to be on this podcast. Can you do us a favor? And I was like, Oh, come
Starting point is 00:13:01 on, man, it's my summer vacation. And then they did say that would count as one of my shows and I went okay, I'm in this is not so serious Fine is just like Howard. We really need you to do this. We're trying to make a big deal on everything We got going on here. So I'll tell you what we'll make it one of the episodes of your show And when I heard that I went well, that's interesting because how much is Howard get paid per episode? Who would know the answer that my friend Monique from radio gunk? Then I went, oh, that's interesting because how much does Howard get paid per episode? Who would know the answer to that? My friend Monique from RadioGunk, so I reached out to her. I said, Monique, have you calculated how much Howard makes per episode?
Starting point is 00:13:32 She has it down to the minute. So I decided to extrapolate that. And she thinks that Howard makes $45 million per year. Now a lot of people think it's $90 million. I don't know that there's an official thing out there. But let's say he makes $45 million a year. He puts out 75 episodes a year. That works out to 600,000 per episode.
Starting point is 00:13:54 Now, if he makes 90 million per year, which could be true, that's $1.2 million per episode. If that's the case, either way, is this the first time the guest on the show is getting paid more than the host who hosts the show to do it? Has there ever been another example of that, Adam? You're in Hollywood, you know how this works.
Starting point is 00:14:15 It's unprecedented, and it's only because he's, you know, more a part of the company there. He just wants to support the company brand. Can you imagine, Carl, if I invited you to something that you didn't wanna go to, like, hey man, you to something that you didn't want to go to, like, hey man, want to come see my one man show? And you're like, I really don't. And I'm like, well, you don't have to do one episode
Starting point is 00:14:31 of WATP, I'm in. All right, yeah, cool. And also, for Howard, this is a great trade off. Now he gets to do his regular show from his basement, so there's that. But, zero prep, show up, it's only an hour you're not hosting you just got to sit there and I actually haven't listened to the episode I probably should have I probably will at some point have you heard Howard on
Starting point is 00:14:54 smartless I have not because they talk about a certain point Jimmy Fallon gets brought up on stage and Howard's like okay you got Jimmy now I'm out of here Howard's trying to get away from the show. Wow. Yeah, it's a whole thing. But I think one of the reasons why Howard hates saying yes to this is because it opens up an opportunity for all the other podcasts. He's like, Howard, you should probably come on my show. And of course, that's what happened. What's his name asked me to be on his podcast right after these guys did? and he supposedly got a real popular podcast.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Who's what's his name? Dax? Dax Shepard. Yeah. And he has a popular podcast and I was like and I had to tell Dax no. And I know Dax. I've known him for years. That's really funny.
Starting point is 00:15:41 Of course Dax would reach out. Oh, you're doing smart lists? Well, you got to do my show. Dax used to have a very popular show. I don't think it's that popular anymore Do you hear anyone talking about Dax show Adam? I assumed he was talking about Marc Maron Well at first when he said someone else reached out to me. I was thinking Rogan Marin, I mean there's a there's a big list now of people but yeah It was Dax because him and Dax have had a relationship For quite some time. I think it's based on Dax's wife. Dax's entire life is based on who he married
Starting point is 00:16:11 So I think that's how he has friends as well So Jimmy calls him up says dude, you got to do this podcast It's very popular people enjoy it and he had to explain to him why it would make sense for him to do this But I don't even understand the deal the podcast still is available everywhere else But serious XM has it so I said well if you can get it everywhere else then How is that exclusive I? Started like you know I was like well. I don't analyze the deal Yeah, I mean was a lot of. They had something like $100 million
Starting point is 00:16:46 mentioned in the paper and then people were like, no, no, no, no, they just get part of the advertising. They can make that kind of money if they sell. I go, so is it $100 million or not? Those guys, you know, which gets me crazy because I spent that entire career in radio for nothing. I should have just been broadcasting out of my house all this time. This drives Howard crazy, which all the therapies gone to the fact that he can't just be happy for other people who are successful. He's wildly successful.
Starting point is 00:17:19 And when you bring up radio, he's one of the first three names anyone would say. He's connected to it, to the medium. And he's still upset that giant celebrities like Will Arnett are successful at this thing that he does and making a lot of money at it. Get over it. Okay, I get it. You had a tough time, you had a tough go in all these small markets and worked your way up and got hired in New York and got on WNBC and that was a big deal for you. But that's a long time ago. Let's move on. Why are you still angry about that? And why is he choosing to cosplay as a poor person who doesn't understand business? Like
Starting point is 00:18:00 he's feigning ignorance. He knows what's going on. He understands it's similar to his deal. He gets a certain amount of money. Does he get all of it? How much goes to the show? We don't quite know. Is it 100 million? Is it 45? It's somewhere in there. He knows this is a similar bit going on with these people. I don't know why he's cosplaying like this. If he was just honest and talked about being this William Randolph Hearst character alone and with all these rooms that he feels like he doesn't deserve so only hangs in these one or two rooms. That would be genuinely interesting.
Starting point is 00:18:29 I'm trying to pretend to be a, you know, cable guy is really, it's stretching. Yeah, that's a good point. And this goes on because, you know, Gary's there talking to him. Gary's the third mic on the show at this point. I don't know if you picked up on that, but at least I was listening to today's episode as well.
Starting point is 00:18:44 And Gary's like constantly on the show I'm pretty sure stuttering John then and it's stuttering John Because I'm me all I'm thinking about is trying to be so pissed if he knew what a major role Gary has on this show Basically, you notice there was a hot sauce. They promote called Melendez hot sauce. Was it my one? Does I thought it was something it wasn't my one Melendez? I thought it was something, it wasn't Mo-wad-dez, was it? I thought it was. Maybe it was what I wanted to hear. Yeah, I wanted to.
Starting point is 00:19:08 I would have pulled the clement if I had heard that. So this is, again, Garry's explaining to Howard that like, yeah, no, it's not just Smartless. There's a bunch of these podcasts that are getting picked up and even by SiriusXM, there was another big deal that was made in August. And then the next thing you know, the thing blows up and even by serious XM. There's another big deal that was made in August And then meet the next thing, you know the thing blows up and now they've got like, you know tons of listeners and they're getting
Starting point is 00:19:29 hundred million dollar deal I'm like that makes me look like a schlub You know what? I mean? No, I quote. What's wrong with me? I had to go from radio market to radio market Toiling away get over it Howard you know who just got a hundred million dollar deal Travis Kelsey and his brother yeah I saw that how to make those the woman serious just call her daddy Alex Cooper she's good why am I calling her daddy that's the name that's the name of her podcast well what does
Starting point is 00:20:01 that mean call her daddy Wow what I loved about that is I went, oh, Howard has turned into Bill O'Reilly. There's no words there to play us out. What does that mean, to play us out? It's a video, sting video. What is... For credits. I don't know what that means, to play us out. What does that mean?
Starting point is 00:20:20 To end the show? Yeah. So, SiriusXM just threw $125 million at Alex Cooper from Call or Daddy and Howard goes, what does that mean, Call or Daddy? What is that? What skill I got here? And they have to explain to him, well, you know, I started a burst tool, a very popular show, and then I got picked up by Spotify and now Sirius.
Starting point is 00:20:39 But I will say these deals are getting odd, Adam. When Spotify acquired Joe Rogan and Caller Daddy, and Dax might have even been one of the podcasts that was picked up by Spotify, it was exclusive deals. Everyone understands the exclusive deal. Howard's just like, so wait, you can still hear these programs anywhere? Yeah, they're still on YouTube, they're still on your podcast app wherever you want to hear it. And so I think, Howard's going, well, then why are we giving them $100 million?
Starting point is 00:21:08 What does that do? And honestly, I'm not sure that's a good deal. I don't know what Sirius is thinking. I know Sirius is grasping because they have a technology that's outdated already. They spent billions of dollars to shoot satellites up into space. And I was like, yeah, we don't really need that.
Starting point is 00:21:24 Everyone's just got their 5G connection everywhere they go. So it's completely unnecessary. Again, I think Howard understands. I think he gets it. I think he knows they just don't want you to leave the app. If I'm on Spotify, I'm listening to music. If I want to listen to podcasts, instead of going to a different app, they have podcasts now.
Starting point is 00:21:42 So I'll stay in Spotify, and that advertising will reach me. He gets that. I think he gets that. Yeah, I get that too. I don't know why Sirius. Now you're saying Sirius has a similar thing where they're going, well we gotta get these podcasts because people are going into their podcast app
Starting point is 00:21:56 and then going to Sirius. So maybe when they're listening to Coffee House 101 when they wanna go listen to a podcast, they won't leave. Please don't leave. Just stay and listen to Sirius. If that's worth $125 million, I know nothing about business.
Starting point is 00:22:08 Well, it's also the elimination of risk. Everyone wants to spend money on something new, but have no risk involved. So no risk involves familiar names, familiar topics, anything we've heard of before, rather than something new. Right. So I just thought that whole conversation was crazy, that Howard refusing to do a podcast
Starting point is 00:22:31 and refusing to acknowledge that most people are listening to podcasts if they're listening to talk shows now, or they're watching them, they're not listening to SiriusXM or AMFM radio. At least that's my perception, I could be wrong about that. I'm actually, I'm always blown away when I hop in an Uber and they're listening to the radio.
Starting point is 00:22:49 I'm like, oh, people still exist. I didn't know that. That's cool, I know what you mean. It's confusing is what Howard is saying right now. Good for Sirius stock or bad for it? I don't understand. Oh, he seemed like he thought it was bad. Didn't he?
Starting point is 00:23:01 He threw a couple of jabs at Sirius during this whole conversation. Oh yeah, but I mean him talking about this and pointing it out isn't good for the stock. Why would he do that? Why wouldn't he just talk about how brilliant it was and how brilliant Smartless is and how great to acquire this amazing thing and Sirius is back? That's going to affect his bottom line. That's a good point. I guess Howard has what you might call fuck you money at this point so so he's not too worried about it. Maybe. All right, so we're back from summer vacation. So many things must have happened over the summer. What happened Howard? You must have
Starting point is 00:23:36 stories. You went to Italy. What happened there? And you know, they're all playing licks from any van. He went to guitar center. This is the story he tells about going to Guitar Center. And you know, they're all playing licks from Eddie Van Halen and you know, Jimi Hendrix and all that shit. And I'm like, I'm gonna go in and I play Ro Ro Ro Your Boat, but I wanna treat myself to a guitar.
Starting point is 00:24:00 I work hard. Okay, Howard's saying I work hard. On his first show back in months I thought was a little out of touch. I don't think you should really say that you work hard and that's why you deserve. He was complaining that he had to work one day in August where he got his own trailer, his own stylist and makeup person in the trailer to just do this one show anyway But he deserves a new guitar and so he was looking at some
Starting point is 00:24:32 These new Gibson guitars called the Gibson Murphy lab guitar. I wasn't familiar with this. I'm not a Gibson guy So I looked it up. These are expensive guitars. I buy nice guitars. These are expensive fucking guitars. Holy shit. I can't picture him in a store. I know that isn't that odd. He actually talks about he walked into a store, sat down, tried out different guitars, played the guitars.
Starting point is 00:24:56 I think that's why it's such a big deal for him. Okay. Like if I went to a guitar center, which I do often, I would never bring up on this show. Just seems kind of fucking boring. But to Howard, this is a whole segment of his show Was going to guitar center I'm guessing that he did not show up during business hours and he didn't just like come in off the
Starting point is 00:25:16 You know, it's a great point cuz yeah, he talks about how all the employees were huddled around him watching him play the guitar I'm like, well, they would be helping other customers. But you're right, they'd probably open special just for him and his stupid $7,000 acoustic. And in his defense, it's difficult when you're that tall. It really is. I once went into a cheesecake factory and saw Kareem Abdul-Jabbar sitting there. I'm not a big Kareem fan.
Starting point is 00:25:41 You can't help but notice him. Everyone has to see him, and then you wanna say something. You can't help but notice him. Everyone has to see him and then you want to say something. You see Howard in New York or wherever. He's unavoidable. I almost empathize and kind of get it. He just like I wanted to buy a guitar. I didn't want to do a personal appearance, which is what would happen if he showed up to a guitar stand. Yeah, I do. I have to fight off listeners too. It does get annoying. Yeah, because they all want to fight you.
Starting point is 00:26:09 Hey man, you talked about my podcast. I'll sign autographs later. All right, I'm just trying to look at guitars. Leave me alone. Oh, here's the ring of your bike in the distance. So, Howard's talking about how actually I've been checking out this Joe Walsh song and I've learned how to play it and I have some insights into how this song was played or composed or something. And so he's teasing this. I actually was playing some Joe Walsh, but I don't have my guitar down here.
Starting point is 00:26:36 I'd have to go upstairs. Well, there are guitars on the wall. Are they pasted there? That's for show. I can't play those. Those guitars? For some reason reason I have guitars on set. For a guy who doesn't play guitar, I got a lot of guitars around me. Don't ask. I could take a break and then come back with a guitar.
Starting point is 00:26:57 So I'm showing the image right now. This is what Howard's home studio looks like. There are three electric guitars directly behind him. He could reach over and grab them and he's like I could play you this song I gotta go upstairs or grab my guitar. I was like wait. There's guitar right there. Just grab that. No no no There's an amp behind Guitars and that's all just for those are just props cuz he has played guitar many times on his show I assumed those are the guitars he grabs when he plays guitar on his show Then he takes a break and he comes back and he goes, I didn't grab the guitar, it's too far. Listen, if I lived in the hotel that he calls a house, I might also be like,
Starting point is 00:27:36 oh maybe on Tuesday I can grab that guitar, I don't have it hit me to go get it. When I'm in that neighborhood. Right, yes, I might be swinging by there later in the week. But I just didn't, didn't you think that was odd, and then he was like teasing this whole thing, and then he comes back and he goes, yeah, I had a whole insight with Joe Wallace and stuff, but I didn't get my guitar.
Starting point is 00:27:54 Yeah, these are just for show, it's a set. And they probably wouldn't allow him to plug a guitar into an amp next to all that gear. And he doesn't really play those at all, they're not tuned. They might not tuned. They might not even be strong. They're just kind of sitting there. And I hope it's not a spoiler. Do you talk about what guitar he ends up buying? Oh, no, go ahead. I don't have the clip, but I remember what he's talking about. The Elvin's guitar. You're a guitar player. You tell me.
Starting point is 00:28:18 He settled on a Taylor? Oh yeah. He ended up buying a Taylor, which I own a Taylor. They're awesome guitars. I have one too, but that's not a high-end, that's not a Martin, that's not what you would expect him to get. They make pretty high-end Taylors, but compared to what he was talking about going in there for, I was a little surprised by that. But the other thing that I know about Guitar Center is they don't have high-end inventory anymore. They can't afford. Oh, is that so? They probably told him like, oh this place just as well as the Gibson you were looking for that That'd be my guess but then he went back and bought this Elvis guitar
Starting point is 00:28:50 Remember that part. Yeah, I don't know what he was talking about. I've never heard of that I mean either and so I looked that up and those are decent guitars But they say Elvis on them and he made them take that off because he doesn't like Elvis Because they ripped off the black he ripped off the black man. Rob was like yes thank you thank you for doing that so I would like to rip off Elvis in the same fashion yeah that was all that was all very odd and then you know like I said he comes back and just like I didn't grab my guitar so we're not going to do that okay well we talked about it so much it's great good stuff there's a whole section at the end I don't want to talk a lot about it
Starting point is 00:29:25 because it's not all that interesting, but all the people who died over the summertime, he does all these tributes for all these different people. And Richard Simmons is the first one he gets into. I'm a big Richard Simmons fan. I loved Richard on the Howard Stern show back in the day. And Gary actually comes in and tells a story that I thought was very funny. He's talking about why Richard stopped going on Scott Shannon's morning show because they were competing in New York and I guess he was given an ultimatum. And Gary, tell the story.
Starting point is 00:29:56 What did Richard tell you? So it was like a year, a year and a half later and he said, and I love using this name because it's so funny. He said, we were in commercial. And he said, I got a call last night from Scott's producer, Anita Bonita, and she said, would you come back on the show? And you know what I said?
Starting point is 00:30:11 We all leaned in, he goes, I said, I would rather eat pussy than go back on that show. And I think you know how much I like doing that. And we all caught our breath, we're like, because we know what to say, and he just went. Ha ha ha ha ha. Ha ha ha. And he just went, ha ha. Ha ha. Ha ha.
Starting point is 00:30:26 Ha ha. Ha ha. Good laugh. He had a great laugh. Ha ha. It's actually a really funny anecdote, because Richard Simmons never came out as gay. Nope.
Starting point is 00:30:38 He always denied it. And they would tease him about it all the time. The fact that behind the scenes he's going, I'd rather eat pussy. Oh, they would tease him to the point the time the fact that behind the scenes he's going I'd rather eat pussy Yo, they would tease him to the point of tears. Oh Awesome. That's the best part. He always seemed asexual to me I didn't think he had any preference at all and true have there been any stories of any Kevin Spacey like Grumblings of Simmons during those workout tapings. That's a good point.
Starting point is 00:31:06 I mean, first off, he surrounds himself with fat people. Yeah. So that tells you he's asexual right there. Well, what other work do you want to get to do? I want to work with fat people. Oh, so you don't like boners. Okay. Come with me then, sir.
Starting point is 00:31:17 So that's a good point. That's very possible. I like that Douche of the Devil verse. It's calling you out. He got defensive. this guy talking about Taylor's that high-end My Taylor kicks his shit on nearly every Martin I've ever played Fair enough. He's probably right. I'm not trying to start an acoustic guitar war. I like both my Martin and my Taylor just saying Just saying alright, so let's find out how the show starts off. He's back. It's been months. We got some energy. Let's go. I had a really nice two months and I'll be honest. Uh this might come as a
Starting point is 00:31:50 shock. I'm really not excited to be back. Oh. Oh yeah. Yeah, I'm not. So, might be a bad show. Might be a lot of anger. We're saying, are you guys gonna be back after Labor Day? Yeah, we're back. What? Robin goes, a lot of people have been asking if we're gonna be back after Labor Day? Nah, we're back. What? Robin goes, a lot of people have been asking if we're gonna be back after Labor Day. She turning into Trump? What do you mean a lot of people are asking that? It's been the schedule all along.
Starting point is 00:32:15 Of course you're gonna be back after taking a summer vacation. Didn't announce the show was over, so I'm not sure what that's all about. But of course, predictably Howard's like, I don't even wanna be here. just want to be on vacation. Yeah. Fans love that shit. You know? Yeah, right. I know. It's always good to start your show by going, guys, I
Starting point is 00:32:33 don't have it in me today. I'm not even interested in doing this. Near the beginning. We'll fly through this quickly. But I think it's an important element of Stern's show. And one of the reasons why a lot of people stopped listening to him is how political the show got. And Howard's always been a little political. I mean, he did run for governor in New York, but he did it as a bit and he became the libertarian candidate because that was the one party that would have him.
Starting point is 00:33:01 He didn't have libertarian principles or anything like that. So Howard's always been kind of like, I watch Fox News and I vote for Democrats and you know, just kind of like he's political but nothing that would eliciter would be like, fuck this guy. Since COVID, well actually since Trump, since Trump got elected, Howard's gotten very political on the show. And I got to give credit to Robin on this because I think Robin's going like getting a lot of feedback from people going yeah I can't listen to Howard anymore he just you know all the Trump stuff it's just it's
Starting point is 00:33:33 too much but Howard said some really dumb things at the beginning of this show and there's a whole bunch of other things to discuss I mean politics I don't want to get too into it Because everybody knows how I feel and 50% of you slam me every time. I think you're all insane. But people were writing me the whole time, what did you think? It seems like it happened a year ago,
Starting point is 00:33:57 but Biden stepped aside so Kamala Harris could run. And I was all freaked out by that this summer. That really upset me. I almost came back on the air to talk about that because my you know my feeling is and I know 50% of you don't like this thought Biden has done an incredible job. No fucking way! Alright, so that's one opinion. Now of course, Howard recently interviewed Joe Biden. The very famous interview.
Starting point is 00:34:36 Yeah, they were both whispering to each other. It was amazing. Yeah, it was great. Joe claimed to have saved like a 30 people's lives randomly. One of them, not far from us. That's true. Lake Ontario, just swam out there and saved a guy's life. Very, very incredible.
Starting point is 00:34:52 And incredible too, because Joe Biden never been caught lying before. So Howard goes out there and he goes, you know, I thought I did a great job as president, but I don't think we should talk about this. I know it turns a lot of people off. And he's definitely learned his lesson. He's done an incredible job. This is my, I know the maggots are going to get upset with me, but here's the thing.
Starting point is 00:35:15 So he's calling people who like Trump maggots. I know they're going to get upset with me. Well, yeah, you just call them maggots. That seems like you're trying to piss them off. You're actively trying to get them upset with you if you're calling them names like that. Is that a popular thing? You live out in LA. Is that what they call it? Magga people now, maggots? Never heard it. Never heard it. Yeah, I was a little surprised at that. I'm like, that's wildly insulting to 50% of the people out there. Yeah, little aggressive. So then Howard starts listing Biden's accomplishments. And I was like, Okay, I want to hear what what this is all about. I think this is the third thing he listed in Biden's
Starting point is 00:35:53 accomplishments. We're out of Afghanistan. Even though people like to, you know, criticize the withdrawal from Afghanistan. To me, it was beautiful thing. We're no longer there makes complete sense. I'm not saying it's Biden's fault that we botched getting out of Afghanistan. There are a lot of issues with that, starting with George W. Bush putting us there in the first place. But it's one of the most embarrassing things that happened under Joe's watch. And Howard said it was his third best accomplishment. We literally left all of our military gear for the Taliban and said, alright, see you
Starting point is 00:36:25 guys. As well as we left people behind. We're just like, alright, we're out of here. Buy a phone. And then they took off immediately. I was like, that was pretty botched. I don't know why you would listen. You might want to like avoid bringing that up if you're praising President Biden.
Starting point is 00:36:38 So I think Howard's going on. Remember he started this off going, I don't want to talk about this and piss these people off. And so Robin is like, yeah, what's what's wrapping up here? And so in my blood, you're not getting into it. Yeah, I know. Okay, let me just let me finish this rap and then I'll move on. So I didn't care if they kept Biden's head in a jar like he died. And they said, well, we can keep him alive, you know, minimally, by keeping his head in a jar, I would have voted for
Starting point is 00:37:04 the man. So this is what confuses me about people like this is Howard goes out and like Robin even goes, you know, Howard's like, he had a bad night at the debate and Robin goes, yeah, but what if he was like that every night? And how it goes, I'd still vote for him. Like these are the people who are like, we got to have democracy. It's so important. Why? If you're just going to vote for a head in a jar. And he literally says, like, the country runs itself, like, yeah, right.
Starting point is 00:37:27 So what are we talking about? You're not even understanding the words you're saying, apparently. It really made me feel sad, because you're seeing an older man in the twilight of his life, looking at other older men in the twilight of their lives,
Starting point is 00:37:42 in positions of power, going, ah, they're still good. And he ranted about Sumner Redstone who was still leading Viacom in his 90s and talking about how that was still a good idea. And it's like, well, I can see why you would wanna feel that way. But unfortunately, I remember the 90s
Starting point is 00:37:58 and how you felt about these kinds of people. And it's very jarring to hear this opposite opinion coming from this same voice. I'm such an idiot, Adam. I didn't even look at it that way. But you're right. And Robin's also in her seventies. And even Robin, when Howard's going on and on about like, we let older people be CEOs,
Starting point is 00:38:18 they do a great job, I was like, not all of them. They want to run these people out in a lot of cases. And Howard was not having that. He's like, no, no, no, no. I mean, they do a great job. I didn't even think about it through the lens of Howard doesn't want to be irrelevant and unable to do his important job anymore. I think you're right.
Starting point is 00:38:36 And actually speaking of that, Howard brings up grandchildren coming over to his house over the summer. And I stopped listening to Howard four years ago, at least regularly. So I don't know how much he talks about grandchildren. I get the sense that it's not brought up all that much because Howard likes to be the young rock and roll guy. But this is hilarious talking about
Starting point is 00:38:58 how the grandkids refer to him. My granddaughter calls me Zoom Pop because we used to have a relationship on Zoom during the pandemic. Yeah. Well, that became my name, but my grandson's gonna call me grandpa. I asked my granddaughter,
Starting point is 00:39:11 I said, you wanna call me Zoom-pa or you wanna go to grandpa? I love that he's called Zoom-pa because these kids have never been in the same room with him. And when Howard says, well, you know what happened during the pandemic? In Howard's world, the pandemic ended like a month ago Maybe June what's what he decided actually start leaving the house again?
Starting point is 00:39:33 So these kids are just like can we see grandpa? No grandpa doesn't allow visitors Grandpa thinks you're gonna kill him if you show up at his house. Grandpa's not as cool as he used to be Zumba that's an embarrassing name. This was really wild for me because this was right at the top of the show. And it was I'd never heard him refer to himself as a grandpa. Right. It definitely made me feel older. And hearing him because it was a genuinely like lighthearted, slightly engaging morning celebrity show that would be like any kind of Mario Lopez, Regis Philbin morning show.
Starting point is 00:40:10 If that's what you're tuning in for, you're getting it. And I'm listening to it and he's arguing about whether he wants to be called Grandpa or Pop Pop. And then for some reason, Fred drops in, thank you, thank you, thank you, mistress, thank you. I'm like, whoa, what? In the middle of this morning with Regis and and Kelly somebody's dropping in a ball bash reference from 87 where some guy was having his balls repeatedly hit with a hammer and saying thank you mistress. Thank you mistress
Starting point is 00:40:35 I felt like we were being porn bombed this light-hearted morning fair was suddenly taken to this other place Like why are we even still doing that? Just do the morning show. And that's what you were talking about when we first started up by saying, we don't know what the show is anymore. I think Howard knows what the show is anymore because he wants to talk to the president of the United States.
Starting point is 00:40:57 And then he also wants to talk about the porn he watched last night and what he jerked off to. And you know, you got those Fred drops like that. So it's like, yeah, Pickle Lane. Even the celebrities, the interviews, are mostly celebrities that a female audience would be interested in. Smartless is very much targeting a female audience.
Starting point is 00:41:15 And is that what this audience is? I'm assuming that's what it is. It's soccer moms, right? Yeah, Marianne from Brooklyn. Right, I mean, she's the one who's really passionate about it. I mean, listen, Bob Dylan, arguably one of the greatest songwriters in the world, spent like three years recording and performing only like Sinatra standards.
Starting point is 00:41:36 The greatest songwriter was like, I'm gonna croon, a man who is not known for having a crooning voice. But I love Dylan so much, I respect it, I follow it, I go to see it, and then we move on. I don't know, it feels different here. He's not trying to do the folk songs from the 60s disguised as some other. He's straddling that. Yeah, and it makes me feel uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:41:58 I don't know what I'm supposed to be feeling. Because when I get into this kind of zoned out morning show groove, all of a sudden I get rocked out of it with some kind of reference to what this was. It's interesting. I like that it... Uncomfortable is a good word to use. What Lashina Howard, which is why I stopped listening to him.
Starting point is 00:42:16 I realized it was making me uncomfortable. Like, I don't enjoy this anymore. I mean, this was during a time that was crazy in the world, because I stopped listening in March of 2020 which was Covid and the pandemic and you have this agoraphobe talking about how everyone's gonna die. I'm like, I don't want to listen to this anymore This is a bummer. It seems to be a fun show. There's a lot of bands that I love that I don't go see anymore I'd rather remember how it was. Yeah, not watch them struggle to perform I know I'm with you on that now the other thing that Howard's been doing for quite a while ever since they started doing this remotely
Starting point is 00:42:52 And doing a zoom style show is there's a knock on the door Howard lets them in and it's a person doing a celebrity impression and They're talking about RFK Jr. So the politics keep going the time about what a crazy person RFK Jr. is. And then lo and behold, he shows up. Go play pickleball. Who the fuck is it already? Oh my god. It's RFK Jr. How embarrassing.
Starting point is 00:43:23 Hey, I heard you Were talking about me, but I would say how this all started because there's a lot of confusion I want it. Well, I want to set the record straight years ago My grandpa we call him pop pop He Lobotomize the family dog. Is that a good Rf Jr. impression? No, that's his Mitch McConnell impression. Oh, yeah, okay, I was gonna say,
Starting point is 00:43:46 that sounds like someone else. Yeah, it's his Mitch McConnell. Okay, not a good RFK Jr. And his material also sucks. So eventually Howard is just like, okay, you gotta go now. Why does it need a head? Because you're being very woke here on your charm.
Starting point is 00:44:02 When you're talking political. It's a good impression. Do the part where you go. So Howard's just like, okay, do that impression thing and then get out of here. That's enough of that. That really bombed that whole thing. And then this is surprising. All the equipment they have, all the money that's put into the show. You got get to remember There's like 70 staff members who put out the Howard Stern show Nothing has ever happened like this in the history of radio. It's nuts and For Gary de la Bate's mic to be this broken Chimp crazy are you watching Chimp crazy watched a few minutes of one episode and I wasn't sure I could get through it
Starting point is 00:44:42 Did you oh it's on HBO. Sorry, not Netflix. Yeah. It's a... Max, it's on Max. It's on Max. What was that? It's on Max. That's RFK giving us channel advice.
Starting point is 00:44:53 Oh. Oh. How'd you get it? RFK, I didn't open the door. How did you get in here? Yeah, he's gone now. It's on HBO. Let me ask you. So, Howard, that's my mic. It's on HBO. Let me ask you.
Starting point is 00:45:06 So, Howard, that's my mic. I don't know why it's doing that. Who is that, Gary? It's Gary. Gary, you sound like R.F.K. Jr. It's just my mic. It's just my mic.
Starting point is 00:45:14 Or Stephen Hawking. I can't decide. Who are you? Maybe because we made fun of R.F.K. Jr. Now Gary has turned into R.F.K. Jr. Say something, Gary.
Starting point is 00:45:22 I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Who are you? Maybe because we made fun of RFK Jr. Now Gary has turned into RFK Jr. Say something, Gary. I don't know why I sound like this. Howard cannot improv. No. That's the other thing that stuck out to me.
Starting point is 00:45:37 And there's a lot of writers on the show. Believe Ben DeBronk is still sending him jokes live during the show I would think and Listen to this gem as I I would imagine because this is a little while after that This was sent to Howard by Benji or someone else who's writing for him. You know, he sounds like Gary 3po Because Star Wars creature Oh wait till wait till Gary's mic is working. I'm gonna fucking rip him a new one. For those of you who are fans of me yelling at Gary, I'm gonna be yelling at Gary later in the show.
Starting point is 00:46:11 Gary 3PL, like a Star Wars creature. What? Lotus Notes, page two. Gary in blue. I like how he teases that he's gonna yell at him. I plan on being angry and disappointed a little later. So let's get into that because this is, I would call this the crux of the episode. And they talked about it again today.
Starting point is 00:46:34 This is the big deal that's going on right now with Howard's return. All the things that happened, I guess he talked about Italy today. He didn't talk about Italy yesterday when he came back. I guess he talked about it today. He didn't talk about Italy yesterday when he came back. I guess he talked about it today He's like, yeah, it was fun Okay, so instead of talking about Italy, he's gonna go into this thing that Gary did that really pissed him off I don't think I really this I'm not being a bitch But this is crazy and you're gonna think it's crazy Robin And if you don't think it's crazy, feel free to tell me I'm out of line. Okay
Starting point is 00:47:04 it's crazy Robin and if you don't think it's crazy feel free to tell me I'm out of line. Okay. So here's what happened. I was going to save this for later in the show but fuck it. Who cares? Gary's here, he's giving me that big smile. R.F.K. came on and you had to. And if anyone in the audience thinks I'm out of line, well fine. Will you at some point give me a moment after you say what you say to at least? react I Love that Gary still doesn't know how the show works Hey, can I respond to what you say and how it even says like yeah, take your time? Well? Yeah You want to dice like I just let you ask that question so yeah, what is Gary thinking? Asking that question, but I think he's deviating from the script. Oh
Starting point is 00:47:42 asking that question, but I think he's deviating from the script. Oh, oh, he's got to remind everyone howard you just said how his reaction time is so slow when something's not in the script. He's like what what I need a full explanation of that sound. Nothing just happens. He's reading this script. So can I just ask a question? What? Oh, where are we going to fit that Wilding's about to speak? Okay, maybe you can Gary, we'll see. I like that Adam's here.
Starting point is 00:48:07 He picks up on things that I do not. And that's a brilliant point. There's another thing. I played it on Drew's show yesterday. I decided not to play it on here. But Howard hits the dump button at a certain point. I don't know where. It was wild. I've never heard him do that before.
Starting point is 00:48:20 I'm serious. On a standard rate, it's like, you can swear, you can say whatever you want. And they're talking about the Smartless show. And all of a sudden just like cuts and he goes, I just had to hit the dump button. Anyway, whoa, who said who said what? Let's go. My theory is that he started talking about someone being near him and Beth that Beth didn't want to see. And it was a social thing. So Gary had to step in and then suddenly it was dumped and we were on to something else.
Starting point is 00:48:46 Yeah, because they were talking about the celebrities who were there at the time. And I bet he said, he slipped up or someone said something that he did not want his celebrity buddies to hear. I promise you, whatever it is he dumped would have been the most interesting part of the show. Yeah, I agree. I'm mostly interested in that right now.
Starting point is 00:49:05 I certainly agree with that. So we're gonna get into this thing that Gary did that was the biggest segment on the show and still a big deal in today's show. Sure, it'll be the rest of the week, which is by the way just one more day. Oh, I actually know the week's probably over for them. They don't do Thursday shows anymore.
Starting point is 00:49:22 So I sound like Monique. Oh, whatever, who cares? Do whatever schedule you want now, and I don't care Thursday shows anymore. So I sound like Monique. Oh, whatever. Who cares? Do whatever schedule you want now. I don't care. I genuinely don't think that I am the reason that what happened happened. Even my wife says to me, are you going to pick on Gary about this? And I was expecting her to go, you know, get Gary a break. He's such a great guy because she loves Gary.
Starting point is 00:49:44 And yeah, I go, no, I said, of course I'm going to bust Gary's balls on this because he fucks me every time. And she goes, good, because she even felt fucked over by what Gary did. Wow. Yeah. All right. So he's building this up. There's a giant buildup going on.
Starting point is 00:49:59 I'm just playing these couple little clips. This goes on for 10 minutes where he's just like, Rob, you're not going to believe this. This is the craziest thing. Beth says it's crazy. Everything's it's crazy. Wait until I tell you this thing. Gary's going, all right, you've told everyone this is crazy long enough. Can we just get to the thing? Because Howard's trying to plant this seed obviously that when he says this, you're going to be like, that is crazy. You keep saying that over and over again.
Starting point is 00:50:21 So are you ready for this bombshell producer Chris? You haven't heard this yet. No. Okay. I'll be watching with the reaction on your face when you hear what... Is it okay if I react after you? No, definitely not. Did I share my notes with you? I don't have that here. I don't have that. I don't have my script. script. I got this is so horrible. I got an invite to John Heinz daughter's wedding. And I blew my fucking stack. I was just like, what the fuck is with John Hein? And we just point this out for people who, you know, I forget not everyone knows Howard Stern, Howard Stern show show John Hein invented jump the shark He was going to coin that phrase he had jump the shark comm he sold for like a million dollars
Starting point is 00:51:10 And he's been on the Howard Stern show for 30 years. He coined the frame. Did I say frame? No, that's what John said you're going to coin the frame I speak so horribly. I'm always assuming that I did something I speak so horribly. I'm always assuming that I did something wrong No, you were great. Sorry. Not this time. Thank you. I appreciate it. I just see in the chat people are writing exact cheat and shit I'm like fuck am I doing it again? I'm sure I am So John Hein has been working on the Stern show for a long time and from what I've heard All of these celebrity interviews that Howard's always praising himself for
Starting point is 00:51:44 John Hein is the one who's doing the research and writing the questions. So I've heard all of these celebrity interviews that Howard's always praising himself for. John Heinz, the one who's doing the research and writing the questions. So John and Howard have a very close relationship. Okay, and you just heard, he got an invitation to John's daughter's wedding. His daughter's wedding. I didn't invite John Heinz to any of my daughter's weddings.
Starting point is 00:52:02 You know, John Heinz knows I'm not going to his daughter's wedding. And this is just, they know I send nice gifts. I always send cash because I'm not going on your registry and looking for gifts. You pay not to go, yes. Yeah, I'll pay whatever it takes. And they all know that I paid Steve Nowicki a fortune. You know what I mean? And whoever else got made Ronnie, I'm like making charitable donations in Ronnie's name
Starting point is 00:52:30 and sending checks and it's basically John Hein sending me a check request for his daughter. And quite frankly, we pay John enough. Okay, so this is what Howard's beef is. Remember who he's mad at? Gary. Gary Delaporte, because John Hyde sent him an invite to his daughter's wedding and Howard sees that as,
Starting point is 00:52:51 you know I don't go to things, which by the way, John Hyde should know that. And so the fact that Howard would get an invite, now it's just on him to send money, because he was invited and he's not gonna go. And he's blaming this on Gary because apparently John Hein was asking everyone at Sirius if he should do this or not.
Starting point is 00:53:12 And Gary was the one guy who was just like, I don't know if it was me, I would do it. And Gary's relationship with Howard is different than everybody else's. Sure. So Gary would do that. You know, Gary's kids have been on the show. They've been featured on the Howard Stern Show.
Starting point is 00:53:27 It would make more sense. John Hein, probably not so much. But if I'm hearing this, and listen, let's get into it, because this is the most important part of the Howard Stern Show, so I'm gonna pretend this is interesting. If I'm Howard, I'm not pissed at Gary, I'm pissed at John Hein for doing this, because it does seem like a money grab. But fans would rather have'm not pissed at Gary, I'm pissed at John Hein for doing this
Starting point is 00:53:45 because it does seem like a money grab. But fans would rather have him be pissed at Gary. Is that what it is? I think so. That the angle he has to take because he doesn't yell at John Hein. Well, he's not making great decisions these days. Right.
Starting point is 00:53:58 I think that is the angle that he's taken. Okay. That's the legendary bit. That's the Willie Nelson on the road again. Howard's making fun of Gary. They're doing the bit. Wow. So He has to do this stretch to be like it's Gary's fault that this happened. And so this is him explaining that he asked Gary And Gary goes of course you sit him by my ball Okay, so that's just not hold on. I'll allow you to rebut. That's not true true Marcy turk. It's his boss. I'll allow you to rebut
Starting point is 00:54:28 John ignores everyone else and listens to Gary even though he knows Gary doesn't know who I am and what I want and Send me the invitation and at first I was mad at John, but then when I heard this story I went well Gary gave him the answer he needed gave him the green light. Well, you heard the story incorrectly So Gary says this is not true. And so he wants to give his side of the story. I didn't do that Robin That's the whole point. Yeah, let me ask you something. I'm gonna ask you a question. Get the story whether I have it right or wrong Do you think John Hein should have invited me to his daughter's wedding? I think that was John's decision to make.
Starting point is 00:55:09 Okay. Oh, so you don't have an opinion on it. What is your opinion? Do you think it would be a good idea or a bad idea? I think it's a no-win situation, Howard. You think it is? Really? Because I think that if you don't get an invitation- You don't know me.
Starting point is 00:55:22 Hold on. If you don't get an invitation, you get in the air, you go fucking John Hein. If it wasn't for me, let me finish. That is crazy. That's a lie. If it weren't for me, he couldn't even throw a wedding. He invited Robin. Wrong answer. He invited Fred.
Starting point is 00:55:35 How the fuck does he not invite me? Wrong answer. I think it's a no one situation for him. Okay. That's bullshit. You just asked me a question. All right. All right.
Starting point is 00:55:43 Tell me your version. That is your opinion. I do have to pause it real quick. I do have to I'm pausing it real quick. I do have to say that's really dumb. Howard would never come on the air and complain about not getting an invite to an employee's daughter's wedding. And the fact that Gary says that like, yeah, it's a no one situation. You're going to complain about it one way or the other. I disagree with completely. I don't know why Gary thought that was the case. It seemed odd to me. That was his ankle on it. At first, I'm like, Oh, fuck you Howard, you always bad. Then I'm like, Oh, Gary's an idiot. Gary's actually making that make it a
Starting point is 00:56:12 lot of good points right now. Here's john. John said to hold on john said to me, if it were you, what would you do? And I said, for me, I'm a different okay, different situation than you. How so? Because I've known you long. Oh, yeah, that's right. I like John better than you. I forgot. Right. I said, so if it were me, I would. And then I said, are you inviting Robin? He said, yes. Are you inviting Fred? Yes. And I said, well, that's going to be yours to deal with on the air. Then if you do or don't, you're going to deal
Starting point is 00:56:38 with it one way or the other. You're claiming you did not give him the answer to invite me. Did I say John you have to invite Howard? Are you asking me if I said you have to? I'm asking you. So Gary's asking Howard this, but John's also now in the zoom call and everyone's confused about who he's asking. So now John Hein finally gets involved in this situation that has everything to do with John Hein and pretty much nothing to do with anyone else. I was on the, as you explained, and I've got you and Beth down as a no by the way. Thank you. I was on the fence about it.
Starting point is 00:57:15 But now I have to send a gift, don't I? You don't have to send a gift. Yeah, sure. Okay. No, you don't. Well, thanks to Gary, I do. You don't have to. But... What do you want?
Starting point is 00:57:25 Just give me a number and I'll send it. I'm not. I'm not giving you a number. I take the mystery out of it. We literally predicted this is not giving you a number. Okay. So Gary's still incorrect about this. We predicted this would be the conversation.
Starting point is 00:57:37 No you didn't. Because that's not what Howard's arguing with you. He's saying, you know, I don't want to get. It's a very easy rule. And Howard explains this. I tell you what, Gary. Here's a here's a rule. Any question you receive where it starts with should I invite Howard? The answer is no. After you hear the word invite, you quickly blurt out no no no no But shouldn't John Hyde know that?
Starting point is 00:58:11 Probably yes, I don't understand why this is not Gary If everyone else said no and Gary's like, I don't know I would And then howard's mad at Gary over it. It all seems ridiculous and I know what you guys are saying Playing the greatest hits This is Gary getting berated by Howard. So people want to hear. But I have to say, Gary actually brings up a good point. My last clip I'm going to play about this. Because Howard's been seeing a shrink for how many decades now? More than I've been alive. And it's odd the way that Howard processes this type of information.
Starting point is 00:58:48 And now I'm stuck. And I have to send a gift. And now because I've done it on the air, I've got to send even more money than I normally would send. See, this is costing you. The more you talk, the more it's costing you more. And if I could blink and send this kid the money, I would just do it. You know what it is? It's like you've got to sit there and fill out a fucking check and we'll put in an envelope and write hey kids Have a great marriage and all these
Starting point is 00:59:15 Will do all of these things for you Fucking Gary you send a gift in my name. How's that? That's what they should penalize this guy. Then he'll stop doing it. But send what Howard would send. I want you to send minimally $5,000 to John Heinz's daughter in my name. You're not sending $5,000 to anybody's wedding. Yeah, sure.
Starting point is 00:59:35 And you shouldn't. Why are you not protective of me? Do you hate me that much? I've given you a living. You've supported your family off of my talent. Why the fuck can't you protect me one time? That's all I want. Supported your family off of my talent. Why the fuck can't you protect me one time? I saw I Supported your family off of my talent is a doozy and I get it. This is Howard's bravado This is what he does, but that's an embarrassing thing to say to someone who works for you. I don't know
Starting point is 00:59:58 Howard let something slip In a little bit. Okay, I'll keep it playing. I have a little bit more to go on. Oh, so sorry, go, go. No, no, no, not at all. I paused it for that reason, is Howard says these things that show who he really is, and you're like, oh, that makes you like an awful person. He's mad at Will Arnett for being successful without being in Connecticut and doing radio at Hartford,
Starting point is 01:00:21 and he's mad at Gary for having a nice house and a loving family When Gary's worked for him, it's like this. Why are you upset about any of these things? I'm not gonna do with you want the answer. Yes or no. Why can't you I? Hate the idea that you and I do believe that you go to your shrink and you have a conversation where you go Gary I haven't seen my shrink in a month. That's the problem to your Your premise is Gary hates me, and it is not done out of hate, it is done out of love. I think you hate me. I don't hate you. I think you hate me.
Starting point is 01:00:48 I think you resent me. I don't think so. I love you. That's not love. Why would I resent you, and how is this, what's my benefit? I'll tell you why. What's my benefit? Because you know it's gonna be a pain in my ass. Was that the part that you were talking about, Adam?
Starting point is 01:01:02 No, but similarly, he lets something slip. He says, Gary starts asking him about, did you have any personal friends at your daughter's wedding? And he says, well yeah, I had Dr. Lou, but that's because I know him from before. Which is not a phrase I'd ever heard him use, but I have heard famous people only use.
Starting point is 01:01:23 And it really was very telling about how he views his life and his relationships. Lou, he knows from before he was famous. So that's a different thing. You don't get to criticize that, Gary. Real friends and fake friends is how they're being categorized. I just thought it was interesting that he's talking about,
Starting point is 01:01:41 now you're gonna go to your shrink and say, Gary hates me and Gary doesn't think like Howard. He's not trying to sabotage him. He's not setting a booby trap for Howard. He's just like yeah send him an invite. I would if it was my kid. You know crazy thing to say. He must hate Howard and so you got to wonder what these conversations are with the shrink if Howard's going in there and going, yeah, Gary Delabatte hates me and is trying to sabotage me. Does the shrink not give a fuck, not understand
Starting point is 01:02:12 the dynamics, buying this? How is Howard not getting better? I don't, it's weird. I don't pretend to know, but I'm guessing that Howard's not going in there talking about Gary at all and that Howard's filling time with this bullshit. Yeah. That it's not a real beef. Yep. Yeah. That's exactly right. You're right about that. That's that's a good point. So let's get off it. Let's get on to something more fun. And that is the fact that crazy Alice died today. Oh, wait, that's not fun at all. But it is because they did pay her tribute on the show today. And if you don't know who crazy Alice is, she's
Starting point is 01:02:49 a whack packer. I sent Shulie my condolences. One of Shulie's buddies. And this is a little crazy Alice. But she told us her anger felt like having an upset stomach. It just needed to come out and she would yell at anyone. She would yell at me She'd yell at Robin. She'd yell at the caller shoe. You name it Just for those of you who are not familiar with angry Alice here is a beautiful montage of some of the angrier moments It would chicken that shot I'm the ignorant chicken neck, short, peanut, ugly MF-er. Yo, that's fuckin' hell!
Starting point is 01:03:25 I hate a fuckin' cock-suckin' new fuckin' lesbian black monkey. You ain't got no man. You shut up, you bum! Shut up, bitch! And go home and suck on your mama's nipple! Next time you see a bitch, look at your mama. Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you! Do you dream about him pumpin' in your stinkin' butt, you dumbass bastard?
Starting point is 01:03:44 Fuck that fuckin in the hell! Your mom is a bitch, your bitches though, your bitches! I'm with a ducky cock sucker! That was her catchphrase right there at the end. So it was always crazy, Alice, and they changed her name to Angry Alice, and I believe, and Adam, you probably know the answer to this I believe is because Alice didn't like being called crazy Sounds about right. I think Alice was just like I'm not crazy. I'm just mad at everyone
Starting point is 01:04:13 Thank God. I never met anyone who was crazy who enjoyed being called crazy That would seem like it'd be offensive to say I remember Fez Wattley took offense to people calling him crazy most of my exes it's a good point I just have one more clip on here do you remember crazy Alice I do and I'm so confused who is this show for I don't understand was that clip he just played supposed to be for the same audience that's invested in the pop pop discussion? Are these one person that wants to hear all of this? Right, that's what's so odd about the fact that Howard won't talk about the dabble verse. You have this very interesting thing that's happening that Howard and Fred and Robin and Gary would have all this insight into. Because they brought up stuttering John and what he's doing right now.
Starting point is 01:05:03 Everyone would be trying to get in there like,, yeah, yeah, let me tell you talking about this We're talking about that have you guys seen she shitter since video you guys see this thing I know they're all paying attention and the fact like if this is still people who care about crazy Alice passing away Why isn't stuttering John mentioned on this show? Do you remember when mr. Burns went to the doctor and they were like, wow, you have all of the diseases. Every disease. So think of that as Howard's past. Even his historical pregnancy?
Starting point is 01:05:32 And it's all ready to pop. And one little wrong thing that goes through, and this avalanche of everything he's done in the past, he will have to answer for. And we see the little, it sparks, then it dies. It sparks, it goes viral, then then it dies and he managed to keep the contract keep the gig if you can just ride this out without any of that coming up he'll be safe so he'll never he'll never let the dabble verse in because
Starting point is 01:05:57 then it'll have to own all of this stuff that was his career with John and those people yeah when Cardiff called in and asked about stuttering John and Howard just goes, you know, hangs up, he's just like, oh, it must be one of stuttering John's buddies or something. It's like, nope. You know that that's not what it is. But you're right, Adam, that's what it comes down to
Starting point is 01:06:21 is that Howard was in blackface. Howard did use the N-word. All the things that all of his liberal friends in Hollywood would need to shun would keep him out of his A-list celebrity category that he's in now. He has to pretend never happened and try to rewrite history.
Starting point is 01:06:40 You know, of all the things that Imus did that suck, and I'm not an Imus fan in any way, did Imus ever run from his past and pretend to be someone different by the end of his career? I don't think so. I think he stayed kind of the same. What happened after that little incident where he called those basketball players something? Did he try and change his act after that?
Starting point is 01:07:02 I don't know. I think he got a deal with Fox News. There you go. Yeah. That's how that works. They're like, that behind the hose. How about 20 million bucks a year? Changes act after that. I don't know. I think you got to deal with Fox News All right, so I have just one more clip because Let's anyone think that Howard was just fucking off all summer long and not doing work. Oh, yeah, lest anyone think we fucked off all summer This is not the case. You could tell from the quality of the program today. I thought that was hilarious. He wrapped it up with, you can tell by the quality of the program today where I pretended to be
Starting point is 01:07:32 mad at Gary for an hour and a half and I went to guitar center. That obviously we were bringing it and working on it all summer long. Anything else you want to mention about this, Adam? Anything I missed that you wanted to bring up? You know, only that it was very clear that all of the callers were actors reading from a script that I'm positive on. However, I know Cardiff got through and I have a friend from high school that I heard a couple years ago get through. I recognized her friend from high school that I heard a couple years ago get through. I recognized her voice and her name so I know real calls are
Starting point is 01:08:09 possible but all of the ones we heard were scripted. They were all actors. They were all and the first line was like I've been a longtime listener I've only listened for a little bit. They always have to quantify exactly what demographic they are before they even speak. It's very rehearsed. Yeah, and I talked about how the staff is like 70 people or something They're all coming from the back office. Oh Yeah, there was someone from South Carolina with a New York accent go figure So yeah, the the show was definitely scripted I think Cardiff got in because he lied about what he was gonna talk about it was something very much
Starting point is 01:08:42 I was shot there even yeah taking calls and looking to see what they want to talk about. But it is happening. So it is possible for people out there to call in and get something about John through. I would love him to be just forced to answer to any of this. It'd be wonderful. I'm also looking forward to the day that Howard does eventually retire. I think his contracts through 2025. If I'm not mistaken, I could be wrong. But let's say, you know, he doesn't have his agent anymore and Howard just decides like, all right, I can't negotiate any more deals, I'm done.
Starting point is 01:09:14 Where do Richard and Sal and Chris Wilding and all of these guys land? Because I think they're gonna be on the Uncle Rico show, at WATP, probably Cardiff Electric show. I mean, there was a drop that we played that went by pretty quickly of Wendy the retard. I'm like, oh, I know her from Tookie Soup. You know, it's like these people, even High Pitch Eric was at DabbleCon. These people can't wait to get into this new universe
Starting point is 01:09:46 That's irrelevant post Howard Stern relevancy So I can only imagine like if Richard and sale broke off and we started doing a show I'd be okay with it. I'd be fine with that It would be amazing. Yeah, maybe instead of You know pranking trade. Yo, they can just call it the Sidary John show. Prank John. I'll give John's number. They can just call him.
Starting point is 01:10:10 That'd be funny. All right. It is time for our Gringe of the Week. This one comes in from Gunner. It's amazing, but Scorch has reached his six month anniversary. Now, is that a thing? No. Not by definition, it would not be.
Starting point is 01:10:29 But for Scorch, it's time to celebrate six years, or six months I mean. And this show is a debacle. What's crazy here is they've been doing this for six months and Scorch still can't get his audio correct Even though his co-host sounds perfect crystal clear Oh
Starting point is 01:11:10 That's way too close to scorches face by the way zoom out The control room zoom zoom. What are we doing? Day weekend live on scorches pfg TV. Can you imagine it's Labor Day weekend? Happens every year. Go figure. Because tonight it is our sixth month anniversary. Sixth month anniversary. I can't wait for their seven month anniversary. Pretty exciting stuff guys. Can't wait for their seven month anniversary. Pretty exciting stuff guys. I have plenty left that we're gonna talk about so thank you guys being part of Scorch's PMG TV Y'all know Megan right give it up for my pal Megan Megan the fuck is this
Starting point is 01:12:19 Remember Megan she refuses to get any closer to him. Yeah, look at how far apart they're sitting. It's so awkward to Megan So we have a shot to do today. You know, they say that black is slimming and I can see why this is the choice for both the shirt, the dress, and the couch. What the fuck is behind them? It's like a fake brick wall and then another fake brick wall in front of it. You're right!
Starting point is 01:12:40 They're two fake brick walls. Why would they do that? Because that scorches stupid logos so he pops it out he velcros it out of the fake brick wall And it's supposed to look like it's just spray-painted out of that wall But you saw Not very special that's good best you today. Yeah, I Want to bring up something to the people in the audience and I want to bring up people watching online especially We really wanted to do a segment with the chat room.
Starting point is 01:13:07 And just up the first three minutes into the show, the chat room proved that we really can't trust you guys to keep it classy. We don't mind dirtiness, sexual connotations, drug connotations, stuff like that. Pick it on me like you guys been doing for years talking shit about me I don't care about. But when you start getting dirty, piggish, shit that you would punch somebody in the mouth for saying to your mom, okay? Think about that. This is how he starts to show off. He's reprimanding the people in the chat
Starting point is 01:13:42 who are saying mean things. Here are the lots of things that I will allow you the people in the chat who are saying mean things here the list of things I will allow you to say in my chat I love I love how she's on the side of the couch with a good audio Isn't that crazy and he's sounds like he's coming through a transistor radio. Yeah, fuck. He's on a walkie talkie for some reason She's got a SM 7b Bizarre and this is a man who knows the internet because the best way to get a chat room in line is to give them a Strong talking to make sure they smell blood. Yeah, make sure you let them know what offends you specifically What really irks you and then they'll you know Megan was literally?
Starting point is 01:14:16 Shaking her finger for a minute there like she is the whole oh, yeah of this show by fire I was just about to write something awful, but I saw her finger, and I was like yeah I'm sorry kiss your mom In the mouth for saying that to your mom, why would you say it on the chatroom? People today cuz you guys are disgusting So you know what? We don't need the chat room if you guys don't want to watch if you don't want to watch the show because we're gonna ban the chat room until you learn how to be cool then so be it but you know what after
Starting point is 01:14:51 the sixth month anniversary of the show we want to have love make love not war we do we want to have love thank you right yes everything is gonna be love love love right? Oh, that was nice. Thank you Go Mike Yeah, let's get over here But that was just I feel like he doesn't hate it All right Can I just point out the obvious solution to this and it's the way this show first started off is That scorches behind a desk and then everyone else is on the couch Yeah, when the host is sitting on the couch it throws everything off
Starting point is 01:15:31 You shouldn't ever broadcast from a couch Oh, okay, I know that the tonight show going back all those decades everyone sitting on a couch trying to look casual It's terrible, but Johnny was behind a desk like like you just said. Right, the host is always behind a desk. Yeah. Okay, so. Don't judge. Here's what I wanna do for the opening shot today. I wanna, A, I wanna do a shout out and a shout out to all the family members
Starting point is 01:15:56 that we've had so far and that we have continuing to go on. So thank you guys. Yes, thank you. Thank you, everyone. Thank you for everyone, okay. That's nice. I also wanna make mention of the fact that parents now have their kids going back to school.
Starting point is 01:16:17 No, that makes you ever really and you know what, I'm gonna do a special shot. You might be watching you might not be too little Ireland. Let's not talk about her yet. Jesus Christ. Just drink your **** shots. I've been there. I do a perfect toast at a dinner party and someone has to tag it. Yeah. What's up? We're good. Kids are going back to school. Yeah. Yeah. It's have to do with any one sentiment per shot is the rule. Yes. No, there's more coming here. What kind of shot are they drinking to?
Starting point is 01:16:47 It's like acto Cooler something like that sure it sucks Yeah, you can talk about it a little bit. It's Ireland not like the country Ireland It's Megan's daughter. She and she got a ear spirit. She's like a champ what? Yesterday she's like a champ what? shot the We reprimand the chat we were doing something cool with you guys yeah, we can't do it dirty chatters ruined our six-month anniversary And then we sit down with the producer we're doing shots immediately, and it's just like yeah
Starting point is 01:17:27 Megan's daughter got her ear pierced yesterday, and I gotta say the producer doesn't even talk into the fucking microphone. Now he holds it though so that's good. Glad you brought it up here buddy. She's my girl. She's my girl. She's my girl. And I definitely have some stuff to talk about that. Me too. Alright. That's some tease right there. Little girl got her ears pierced. Wow. Also these shots are filled so high that they're spilling it everywhere as they're holding up their shots It's just non-stop dripping everywhere It's alcohol abuse. What's that yellow? It's yellow. It's yellow. It's bright yellow for some reason I don't want to know everybody. Here's the opening shot. Thanks to common cannabis company common collected in Chippewa Falls
Starting point is 01:18:06 He had a toothpick in his mouth the whole time he's on camera with something in his mouth because he's a pro he's been doing this a long time my voice is too smooth what can I do to fix that so I just want to point out this has 6000 views
Starting point is 01:18:22 there's just no fucking way there's no way this 6,000 views and One of the reasons I say that not just what we just saw but also there are six comments on it Six total comments six thousand views I call bullshit. I say they're buying views like the Shulie network I'm declaring it right now. Scorch is buying views. Anyway, he has money?
Starting point is 01:18:49 No. Okay. What a show that is, huh? Look at that. You know who else has just an incredible show and that would be my buddy and yours. Don't tell me you don't like my show. Don't tell me you don't like my show. Don't tell me. and yours. Because that's absurd. I'm not going to play clips.
Starting point is 01:19:26 I do have more from his most recent podcast, Broken Skull, to get into, but I wanted to address this because Patty posted something on his Patreon that I find hilarious. The subject line is, ha ha. And so he does this from time to time. He'll just write a couple paragraphs and it gets emailed out to all his patrons so he wrote so i was informed roi made an ai song about me now adam did you hear happen to hear the ai song i created for uh patty broken skull patty sea cubs you'll have to remind me. Okay, so last week we
Starting point is 01:20:07 we were playing his show and Patty was playing FM DJ and playing all these AI songs that he created With you know prompts and they could spit out so I figured I would create a song as well So I thought that'd be kind of funny and it was But apparently someone reported back to him that I did this. He says, kind of defeats the purpose knowing I'm never going to hear it. Okay. It's sweet you and your buddies just sit around thinking about me. But what you're doing is making a diss track, but only showing your five friends kind of dumb, huh?
Starting point is 01:20:41 You're not going to get anything out of it, right? Let me stop right there. What? I don't know what world this kid is living in. That he says things like this. Kind of dumb that I'm never going to hear it. I didn't make it for you. No, you made it for me. It's awesome.
Starting point is 01:20:55 Right. I didn't make it for my five friends. I made it for thousands of listeners who enjoy the show and who enjoy the Patty C Cups segments. And the fact that he's, I don't know if he the fact that he's I don't know if he's making this up I don't know where he's coming from the cognitive dissonance once again he has no idea what he's saying he's like oh you guys spent all that time making an AI diss track no I spent 72 seconds that's how long it takes to create an AI song and we played on the show and had some fun with it and put it up on YouTube and all the places people listen to the podcast
Starting point is 01:21:27 And all the place people subscribe to the podcast. So the fun keeps on going really. Yeah I don't know why he thinks I made this for my five friends hoping that he would hear it I don't care if he hears it or not. Let me get back to this Hopefully you got some like for it or whatever Hopefully you got some like for it or whatever. Hopefully you got some like for it or whatever. Proofreading, proofreading. No period, starts another sentence. Honestly, you just wasted your time
Starting point is 01:21:54 for your fans to prove your obsession is getting a bit off the wall. And we all know what obsessing over me makes you do. Don't be the next one harboring a body in your basement. It always comes back. Sick burn. Yeah, it always comes back to podcast hitman who murdered his girlfriend.
Starting point is 01:22:15 If I create an AI song using a minute and 12 seconds of my time, it means I will eventually murder my girlfriend. I'd start keeping your obsession quiet. You're starting to look foolish. I'm starting to look foolish Perhaps go after red bar yourself and stop being the scared little boy. You've always been Taking a lot of leaps there It's kind of crazy. We have done an entire show about red bar, by the way, just so you know We have a whole show about red bar, by the way, just so you know, we have a whole episode about red bar But I thought that was a really odd response to this
Starting point is 01:22:51 He doesn't know how to he didn't know what to do with this information that we made an AI song about him I love I love people who write very long strongly worded memos to explain to you how unbothered they are Yeah, I know I can tell you really don't care about that at all. Baddie. He's so proud that he didn't listen to it. But he wrote paragraphs about it. That's much worse. Yes.
Starting point is 01:23:14 I've never commented on anything online. Right. He's telling us that we're wasting our time. He's constantly responding to people via comments. Yeah, it is odd that he would bring up time wasting and obsession. Patty, this was one segment I did. I prep for my show. So doing a Patty segment takes me 45 minutes, maybe an hour out of the five to six hours I spend prepping for my show.
Starting point is 01:23:40 I mean, if you're going to say I'm obsessed with something, you would obviously say, Senator John, I can't stop talking about him. Maybe it takes this guy hours to make these AI songs and he assumes you're spending the same amount of time. That's what I'm wondering. Yeah. That's why I asked you how long does it take? Yeah. And you're like, oh, I shat this out in 72 seconds.
Starting point is 01:23:58 I use chat GPT that created all the lyrics. And then I put that into UDio. And I said 80s rap style and there you go. Here's my MP3 file to play on the show and then I put that into UDio and I said 80s rap style and there you go, here's my MP3 file to play on the show. It's just that easy kids. He's writing down what you just said. I know. Go ahead and go for it yourself. Doug from the jingles department sent me a song that he made for, was it Jake Hudson
Starting point is 01:24:22 or Corn Diff? I forget but he made a pretty cool theme song for one of these shows it's like a big band swing song and I'm like Doug you're getting dangerously close to starting your own podcast where you're just talking up your own AI created music you might want to be careful of that I've seen it happen seen it happen to the best of them. Now, Aaron, I have to ask you, are you following the Aaron Imholt drama? The best part about the Aaron Imholt drama is that finally the dabble verse has something that I can explain to a stranger that will make sense to them. I can tell them, I was watching this morning show
Starting point is 01:25:02 and you're never going to guess what happened. And then when I tell them what I got to watch in real time, they understand my addiction to the Dabbleverse. This makes perfect sense. It's it's it makes sense why Fox News would cover it why this would get national attention because this is unbelievable. I love it. Let's get into it. Let's get into it. Youer so we know what we're talking about. A local podcaster is now facing charges for something he allegedly did while live streaming his show. Aaron Imholt is the host of the Steel Toe Morning Show that has been on the air for at least a decade. Fox Science Karen Scullin joins us now to explain what is happening here. Karen? 37-year-old Aaron Imholt made his first court appearance this morning for disseminating private
Starting point is 01:26:06 sexual images without consent but he appeared to do this well actually live-streaming like this guy's fucking idiot yeah am i reading this right live streaming okay do you believe that right she was live-streaming as she said it and in shock yeah broke the law on his show Believe that right she was live-streaming as she said it and in shock
Starting point is 01:26:27 On his show Teleprompters broken I guess Welcome to the show it's me it's me It's 37 year old Aaron Imholz the host of the steel-toe morning show a YouTube podcast with about 13,000 subscribers. But one of Imholts May shows has him in some legal trouble. He was reported for sending a photo of a naked woman that he knows to a person joining him on the podcast. So they're showing Gino Piscati and they're showing the time when Aaron sent Gino the
Starting point is 01:27:02 naked picture of Kayla Reketa and Listen This world has gotten so weird. I'm watching tookie soup last night and Gino calls in Y'all about this and how much he hates April and Aaron and everyone involved in all of this Like in wild that woman reported the situation to police and now look at that goober Wild that woman reported the situation to police and now look at that goober You a spoiler coming up Aaron's gonna talk about how hot he looks at his mugshot Another win for the W Takes a certain kind of person to smile in a mugshot
Starting point is 01:27:45 Particularly kind of crazy and yeah creepy. Yep. Yes criminal charges. charges did you check it I like tattoos more than I think you boy didn't do too bad did he and those words are now part of a criminal complaint against him the court documents describe a relationship breakdown between him Holt and three others he started disparaging them publicly on his show back in April before sending the nude photo in May. Today, other podcasters are using it as material for their shows. Who the fuck said in Mr. Lo's company, this should be NLL. This should be Patrick Mellon. It's fucked up. They're showing Kevin Brennan and Stevie Liu with that segue. That's a bullshit right there. Geno snitched on Aaron.
Starting point is 01:28:27 Geno 100% snitched on Aaron. Imholt is a sort of shock jock type, often saying things that some would consider racist, homophobic, misogynistic, and more. Some have said to Fox 9 that he used to walk up to the line, but now he crosses it. Ugh. Local reporting. Some have said to us he used to walk up to the line, and now he crosses it. Local reporting. Some have said to us he used to walk up to the line and now he crosses it. Oh, yeah, they did call him a sort of shock jock, which felt right. Yeah, that actually is correct. Who told you he used to walk up to the line and now he crosses it? Some. Some, huh? Yeah, I got a couple names. You want to give me an example? I've got some.
Starting point is 01:29:02 Fuck off with that shit. That's such bullshit reporting right there If you got an opinion, just say it lady Impulse told police he did not recall ever receiving or sending a nude photograph of the victim He bailed out of jail this morning with a no contact order in addition to no with a no contact order in addition to no disparaging comments on social media, online, or on a podcast. In the newsroom, Karen Scullin, Fox nine. So that's just incredible. Right there. This is getting picked up by the news. In fact, someone just sent this to me today that this is even being covered in the sun. Sick show. YouTuber Aaron Imhol arrested over photo, sent on live stream and
Starting point is 01:29:47 viewers blasted. He crossed the line. His viewers blasted. That's not what people are mad at Aaron about. They hate the goal. It's the e-backing that's the problem. It's not the racist remarks. And you know what's amazing, Carl? I remember when you first introduced us to Aaron, when he was first on the show, he explained to you his business model. And you took a pause and you said, well, that's not going to work at all. Thank you for reminding me of that. He argued with you, I'm loyal to all these staffers that I can't afford from a gig I
Starting point is 01:30:19 used to have. And you're like, okay, good luck with that. And look at where we are now. Yeah. Most of them have left. He's down to just the two co-hosts that he has. But yeah, when I had the show with him and he explained that he needs to raise this amount of money because he's got all these different co-hosts
Starting point is 01:30:39 and back then it was a lot more people and of course his family and everything. It's like, no, no, that's not how you do it. Try to make yourself a living first but if you can grow it and bring people in then That's the way it goes so I'm so grateful to you Carl for giving me a place to talk about this stuff because it's on my mind so much and I have no one left to share it with it finally hit me
Starting point is 01:30:59 what's unique about a lot of these people. And the difference between Aaron and John and Chad is that, and even Eric the actor, is that they all had fame. They either started without it and got it, or they had it and then they lost it. And something unique happened to Aaron. Something unique happened to Chad when they had their dream gig and then it was gone.
Starting point is 01:31:24 And they never recovered. And it amplifies all of their Broken neuroses it really just puts a spotlight on it in a in a very special way When you know separates them from like Jake Hudson and other people that we love but there's just not that Impatient Michael. Yeah, exactly. You went through a list. Did you say Kevin Brennan? I did it but there you go It's another great example of that example. Where do you think that fucking bitterness comes from? Yes, cow and there's a there's another thing that's working in the background is that they had the fame and now they don't But they all have this glimmer of hope that it's gonna come back. Yes When stuttering John was doing the DC thing and calling it 2.0. I'm like, oh this is 2.0?
Starting point is 01:32:08 Yeah, you're on version eight. What are you talking about? No, Chris is right. You saw it when he was in the taxi cab on the way over, back to the bar after he had interviewed that congressman. He was so excited. He was like, we got one. We actually got one guys.
Starting point is 01:32:23 I can't believe it. Like he was back. This was happening. Because in his mind, he's going to bring that in the next morning and Howard and Jack. Yeah, there is my him. This is great, john, even though you sucked. It's funny for our show. So thank you for doing this. And if he's on brand, he'll john will start covering Aaron him halt because it made news. Yeah, wow. To jump onto that. So Hill John will start covering Aaron Imholt because it made news It's a blast to jump onto that so he'll probably start covering it a little more. I have a clip coming up where John Explains he's bored with Aaron or doesn't care cuz Aaron doesn't talk about him
Starting point is 01:32:56 So he doesn't care he only likes things to talk about Rule very odd So this is what happened Aaron found out Thursday night, there was a bench warrant for his arrest. He was at his family cottage. So, he talked to his attorney and they agreed he would turn himself
Starting point is 01:33:12 in Tuesday morning. Tuesday morning, this is yesterday, he gets up at 530 AM, starts getting ready. The police show up at his house and he's like, oh man, I was gonna, I was gonna drive in and turn myself in. They're like, yeah, that's not how it's gonna work, buddy police show up at his house and he's like, oh man, I was gonna I was gonna drive in and turn myself in. They're like, yeah, that's how it's gonna work, buddy. You're coming with us. So the police brought him and I guess
Starting point is 01:33:33 they were polite about it. They didn't cuff him like in his driveway or anything like that. So the neighbors didn't see what was going on. But he was he was brought in to jail he had to go to court and he came on his show this morning and discussed that and thank you to stalin19 for putting together a little package for us i have some clips that i want to show to you this is erin explaining going to jail as they as they search you and everything else. You know, we were talking and we're just bullshitting and just there. I mean, they're telling jokes and I'm joking back with that.
Starting point is 01:34:11 It was I mean, this is going to sound weird to say the first few minutes of it were fun. I was having a good I couldn't believe how professional officer Toma was in the arrest and all of that sounds like another win for the dough I'm a thumb in the butt guy This is insane to me this guy comes on after spending Hours and hours in jail and his arraignment and and all these charges are up against him But he's still got a face that and he's coming on. He's gone. I had a fucking blast yesterday
Starting point is 01:34:43 Well, he was all pumped about his suit in the rain men or whatever. I mean what do you think he's gonna do? He's insane. Yeah, it's another W I get to intake and the first thing the woman says it in things you know, wow, you're gonna be the best dressed guy here I'm like yes and She opens up my wallet. They got to take out all the cards She goes but she sees a Caesar's Palace, an MGM Grand, a Mystic Lake, and two Hinkley game cards.
Starting point is 01:35:12 The players club cards. She goes, wow, this guy really likes Vegas and gambling. I'm like, I told her, I go, yeah, if you guys would all cut it out, I could afford to go back. So they do all that. So this is Aaron bragging twice. The first brag was like how well dressed he was that they were taking notice. Like, look at the threads on this guy. Wow. Of
Starting point is 01:35:36 course they were. But then he's also the super cool macho gambling guy who likes to play cards. And he's joking along with them. And he's making jokes and he's getting everyone laughing It's like just so you know, I host a show. I'm this is what I do Okay, it's kiss you're wondering why I'm so hysterical in the jail Like this I Couldn't believe the bullshit. I really couldn't and then I remembered something You said on a previous show when he had to he was so excited to not do his
Starting point is 01:36:07 Show yes, and not worry about the goal and go to court I'm actually the point where I believe he was having a great day because he didn't have to do his show or worry about the Fucking goal. Yeah, cuz there's just no way while they were frisking him somebody leaned into his ear and said I'm a toe boy Yeah, so this is he goes on about what an amazing experience this was for him at the jail. Yeah. You know, so far they're being like, it's, it's like a hotel stay where you can't leave so far. I mean, they brought me some blankets and, you know, some other stuff and it really was like it was a hotel stay where there was a certain checkout time and you're not
Starting point is 01:36:50 allowed to leave before that checkout time. This fucking guy, what kind of hotels is he staying at? I can't imagine going on a Yelp review for Hilton and being like this was even better than jail. Wow, I hope so. If you like the hotel California, then you'll love. Yeah, that's right. You can never leave. What a weird thing to say.
Starting point is 01:37:12 Is he trying to convince himself or me? Because I'm not buying it. He's incapable of taking a loss. Is that what it is? No, he was committed, he was accused of a crime. Whether you did it or not, no one wants to see you gloating about what a wonderful day you had.
Starting point is 01:37:26 Right. Yeah, I know there's just no humility, no understanding of what's going on. He's acting like this, everything. And I can only imagine, you see how stressed out he gets when he's not hitting his goal? I can only imagine, yeah, what he's really thinking, what's really going on in his head with all these things that are happening to him. But he's gotta pretend that he's taking this all in stride with all these things that are happening to him, but he's got to Pretend that he's taking this all in stride and it's great and everyone's having fun and He says something that I hope Kevin Brennan's not watching and the name of the book was our game
Starting point is 01:38:05 H-O-U-R game our game. It was good. I read like a hundred hundred and five pages a pretty good book I'd get a little sleepy. I took two naps. Well. I was in there two naps Wow to Couldn't get it fast enough Are you listening escapee this guy's taking naps in jail? I called my mom wife. She said go ahead lay down again. I did it's great I'm like, hey, this guy's taking Uh, then did court didn't have to say a word. I was just sitting there mannequin a statue
Starting point is 01:38:48 Todd and I talked beforehand pretty informal You know that whole process is not like i'm gonna prove my you know, this is bullshit and all that You don't do that there. It's just you stand there. They tell you, you know, he can't talk about this that yeah It's an arraignment We all know that does he think that everyone thinks TV is real? He's like, just so you guys know, this isn't like law and order. Yeah, no, I do know that. It's an arraignment. You stand there and they read you what you're arrested for and then you decide what you
Starting point is 01:39:17 want to do about it. He seems like a serial killer. Yeah. You don't spend the day in jail because people you know have accused you of horrible crimes whether you're innocent or not. You don't come out smiling and laughing and showing everybody that this was like a celebrity appearance you made and just so happened everyone that works at the jail loves steel toe and is on your side and offering you money in the good room and it's crazy stuff that he thinks this is the way to come off. This is a well-rounded,
Starting point is 01:39:51 adjusted person and this is what I'm giving off. It's frightening. It really is. And again, I told Patrick Melton when he was at my house after DabbleCon, I think I apologized to him for not realizing what a psycho this guy is. I didn't see it, I didn't realize this guy's personality and Patrick Melton picked up on it right away and has been presenting this to the world for the last 18 months. Boy, was he right about this guy, what a psycho.
Starting point is 01:40:19 See you later, get the fuck out of here. And then you get the fuck out of there. So I'm reading the book, I'm taking a nap, go to court, read the book, take a nap. And then I'm out. They booked me. And by the way, can we can we have an honest discussion? Are you guys just going to be okay? Or can we have an honest discussion about that mugshot? This is where things get off the rails. Now he's going to
Starting point is 01:40:44 compliment himself for how hot he is in his mugshot. Because that is not a bad mugshot. Is this a bit? Adam, this is a bit, right? No, he thought about it. He planned it. He made the choice to smile. He executed it and he's happy with the way it came out. Wow. Honestly, I was terrified about having a mugshot. See?
Starting point is 01:41:07 That's one of the best mugshots you've ever seen. If you have a theory about the Fox Nine story and if there's a guy who either has a firm or knows somebody, you're correct. That was, I'm not big enough for that story. A guy was involved with that. It's not a bad mugshot. That's actually, that looks like
Starting point is 01:41:27 he's got his mugshot pulled up. And he's gonna talk about how hot he is. And I watched Melton break this down with all the zooms and everything. I was like, this is not an attractive photo that I'd be showing off and bragging about. Could be a work picture. Yeah, if it wasn't taken from a jail cell depends on what you do for a living really
Starting point is 01:41:51 Give me I got color I'm all tan and shit the fuck is wrong. I've seen mugshots of people They're pasty and pale and look like warmed over death and like they're sad and they're better than methads who have lost their teeth Yeah, you do Aaron over death and like they're sad and they're better than meth heads who have lost their teeth. Yeah you do Aaron. You might have a fine photo of yourself in the sex offender registry. You don't want to brag about it. Right. I like how Woe-ey sets the bar. He's like, I've seen some other mug shots. People are depressed. Things aren't going well for them. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:42:18 Well when the bar is low enough, everything's a win, right? Yeah, it's crazy you're in prison for a crime that involves the word porn in it and you're not even a little concerned like you don't want to call family or people you work there's nothing going on except naps and snacks and reading all I'd be thinking about is like I hate talking to my neighbors. I only go tell everyone about this. This is a serious thing. Yes, this is pretty serious. This is crazy. He's got nothing. Tell me about the Froot Loops you had for breakfast there. He gets into it. He does. He talks about the breakfast he had and the other guy is in there for a DUI and he gives him his apple juice. It's fucking crazy. How
Starting point is 01:43:01 about how you're going to have to explain to any future employer what this is? How about talking to a lawyer about getting it expunged? How about making how you're gonna have to explain any future employer what this is? How about talking to a lawyer about getting it expunged? How about making sure you don't have to do any time or that the people around you or your kids are safe, your kids are gonna search your name and the first thing that's gonna come up is porn and you're talking about the extra snacks you got. I do wonder, I wonder about the young children.
Starting point is 01:43:24 Like Erin has younger children. I think the oldest is 10 or something like that. Does she know about what's going on? Because her classmates must find this out. Someone's got to find it out. And then it gets out there and everyone's talking about it. So something like this happens. It's got to be the most embarrassing thing in the world for these kids. Right? thing in the world for these kids, right? He doesn't ever show any concern, really. No. He didn't mention calling them. He didn't mention talking to anybody. What about this girl he's been dating? She must be very concerned.
Starting point is 01:43:52 He's like leaning into it as if we're all going to buy it and be like, oh, this must be nothing because he's loving all of this. Yeah, faces are drawn whatever. That as I stand by that mugshot, that's a good mugshot. I'm happy with that mugshot. And you know, I wasn't in a terrible mood when it was taken because all the people there
Starting point is 01:44:14 were so professional and nice and, you know, dare I say sweet, everyone there was really cool. Okay, man, whatever it takes to make you feel good about this situation. Famously skinny white guys accused of sex crimes do really well in prison and cops love them. So then I have to play some of this. And this comes via TV's Will Heron via Ethan Ralph. So Ethan Ralph got in the Zoom meeting for his arraignment and was broadcasting this and so props to Ethan Ralph for getting this because this is you know we just heard Aaron describe his day and
Starting point is 01:44:59 how amazing it was how awesome everything was let's see how he actually looked when this was going on This is interesting because the prosecution is Asking for a hundred thousand dollar bond for him're saying, you know, based on his history, there is the harassment restraining order from his first wife that Aaron violated, which is why he was in court a couple weeks ago, and got a year probation in lieu of 90 days in jail. And they're
Starting point is 01:45:41 saying, yeah, like, in the past, when we've told him not to talk shit about people, he does it anyway. So, we really have to restrict him from doing it. When he's not doing it, his stupid co-host is. Right. Or the chat. He has to read the chat. Oh, **** I read the chat. What are you going to do? So, it's very interesting to me that they know his history and they're explaining this to the judge. He does have a nature in place protecting a different individual. He recently. He does have a nature of place on protecting a different individual. He recently What a blast he's having.
Starting point is 01:46:08 Yeah. This is like a vacation for him. What a fun time. It's worth noting for those who are just listening that his face right now is the definition of tension. It is red, his jaw is clenched, his nostrils are tight, his forehead is burrowed, his eyes are down. He is like, I don't know, he's like a firecracker ready to pop. Yeah, you wouldn't see this, you know you get the photograph of yourself going down the steep hill on the roller coaster.
Starting point is 01:46:36 This would not be the photo you would get after the roller coaster ride, it's quite the opposite. But when he was describing this, it sounded like an amusement park. Yeah, where's the laissez-faire attitude? Where describing this, it sounded like an amusement park. Yeah, where's the laissez faire attitude? Where is the, this is, they love me, this is all gonna work out. He seems very, very concerned right here.
Starting point is 01:46:51 I thought he was at a five-star Marriott when he was describing it, but. Sentence for a natural violation, that violation circumstances were on violation of SIA's on-broadcast. And so I am asking directly talking about KCR. All right. So they're trying to say like, we really have to make sure this guy is not going to just
Starting point is 01:47:13 get on a show and talk mad shit again. So his attorney is not happy about this hundred thousand dollar bond. 37 years of age and divorced with three school-aged children. He has an associate of arts degree from Brown College. It's like going over Starr and John's resume. Why should we trust this guy? He's got an associate's degree. Kids.
Starting point is 01:47:41 And is the owner of Steel Toe Media. Oh boy. He advises me he has no felony record No record of crimes of violence with the X Wait a second. Did he headbutt his ex-wife April? No history of violence. Um No record of crimes of violence with the exception of the single misdemeanor HRO that the prosecutor Mentioned so that's a weird way to phrase that there are no none except except for that one
Starting point is 01:48:19 Of course, but other than that there's not none Other than the five felonies. I have zero felonies. That's a good way of looking at it. Yeah, sure. It rounds down. It's true, I guess. So the judge here thinks that they do need to have a substantial bail. She thinks that that is appropriate, as you'll hear here.
Starting point is 01:48:42 Abide, he has to remain law abiding. He is to make future court appearances. He is to keep in contact with his attorney. He is to keep the court updated of any change in his address. He is not to leave the state of Minnesota without permission of corrections. He is to not have any contact with the alleged victim in this case, KCR. He is to stay 500 feet away from her residence. The court is also going to order that he abide by
Starting point is 01:49:14 all active harassment restraining orders. And also that he is I mean, it's the least she could do. Yeah. When wouldn't you? Can you abide by active restraining orders? All right. I guess. His kick in the ground.
Starting point is 01:49:28 God, shucks. He's actively disassociating right here. And he's doing that real ego thing where somebody is giving him orders. And he's nodding his head yes as if he agrees and also wants to do this. Like this is a mutual decision. He can't process that he's being ordered. So he's just kind of nodding like, yeah, we're going to do that. That sounds about right. I was going to do this. Like this is a mutual decision. He can't process that he's being
Starting point is 01:49:45 ordered, so he's just kind of nodding like, yeah, we're gonna do that. That sounds about right. I was gonna do that anyway. That was the plan for Steel Toe. I'm gonna go back to having fun, reading news stories, not talking about drama anymore. Yeah, he's like agreeing where no one needs him to agree. They're ordering you, buddy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, this isn't up to you. Yeah, it's not a matter of taste. Yeah, that's so long. She's not helping you program the toe program.
Starting point is 01:50:08 She's telling you. This is happening whether you agree or not, but thanks. This is legally what you need to do. Nick Ricada called into NLO the other day. That was crazy. This whole thing is getting nuts. I think, and people confuse the fact that, you know, we talk about Nick Ricada,
Starting point is 01:50:29 and I'm not excusing what Nick Ricada did. I don't think it's a good idea to have tons of illegal drugs and firearms out and about in a house full of children. Oh, out and about, yeah, gotcha. Right, if he can seal it, I mean, sure. Honestly, I'm still amazed that, Oh out and about yeah, right if he can seal it I mean sure honestly I'm still amazed that because Nick is like this big gun guy and stuff the fact that he wouldn't have them secured properly It's like amongst gun owners is such a fucking like dude. You're giving us a bad name
Starting point is 01:50:57 This is why the government wants to impose regulations on us because you're not you're not doing your diligence To be safe with these firearms. So Nick Reketa has done a lot of things wrong in this. But I think at the end of the day, and I think we've been talking about this for a while, Aaron is the one who's going to suffer more of the ramifications from all of this. He was doing victory laughs for months on his show as these people were getting arrested and they have the search warrant and they're knocking down the front door and they're compensating Coke and taking the kids away and Aaron's bragging
Starting point is 01:51:34 about singing karaoke with his daughter. Hey, look at me. I still have my kid. It's just like, dude, this is, this looks terrible. Yes. You seem like a villain and now look at where we're at. It's going to be very interesting to see what happens. I'm glad Adam that you're all in on this. My buddy Drew Lane is now talking about this all the time on his show. And it's just it's one of those things with Aaron Imholt where it gets crazier and crazier and starts to creep in. You're like, Oh, what's going on? I need to know what's going to happen next.
Starting point is 01:52:05 Because this is we love it in a documentary and in a podcast, but it's so uniquely exciting to watch it all happen in real time. They were a happy couple making fun of John when we met them. And look at this now. Yeah, we're there for it. Yes. They it was it was Aaron versus Chad Zumach. Used to be the big news. And then Chad went after Aaron in a way that Aaron didn't like. And Aaron got out of the Chad Zumach business. And now look at where we're
Starting point is 01:52:32 at with all of this, because that's really what put Aaron on nobody likes onions radar. I remember there was a time where he was worshipping Kumia and Kumia wasn't interested and he got very bitter about it. Very hostile towards everyone about this. Well, he had Kumia on his show one time, you know, over a year ago. But yeah, when Anthony turned on him, that was interesting. He said, don't drag me down with you motherfucker. I got nothing to do with this shit. And he showed his immature tendencies. Well, I didn't like you either. I don't like your friends. Right. And you can't come over to my house now. Yes, very much so. All right. I just have a few things we need to talk about with our buddy, Stutjo. Drive in Drive out Drive Woo
Starting point is 01:53:28 Gakie Yeah Very good Adam Joining us is Obnoxious John with a new filter What's going on? Wait a second, that's an obnoxious John at all Hey guys, really high
Starting point is 01:53:44 Okay, call the OJ Cardiff, have you been reinstated or something? What's going on? I'm not just a child at all. Hey guys really high Kind of you've been reinstated or something what's going on? No, I haven't I thought you said kill the bit Now I know you guys have talked about this I can't wait to talk about this we finally seen and I'm listen I was wrong. I'll admit when I'm wrong because I'm not a narcissist. We finally got to see the tattoo. I didn't think John had a tattoo. I thought for sure that was a cover for having the grease stains on his sleeve. But I guess I thought it was hair dye. But here it is. Posted in Dabbler's Anonymous. He got a tattoo of his own face on his own.
Starting point is 01:54:30 What is going on here? This guy called me white trash recently. This is the tattoo that he got. He's been having trouble getting women and he thinks this is going to fix that. Oh, you're right. You're right. This is the thing to make him look like he's cool biker guy Oh, yeah, this is his new persona now in Florida. Mm-hmm. He's cool biker guy with his cool biker friends
Starting point is 01:54:53 And so we gotta get cool biker guy tattoo and so a stone crab in this Reddit post asked which one of his kids is that night? That's inappropriate Made me laugh. She's why I brought it up just now What is going on? It's like a Viking skeleton or something. Mm-hmm. Well, he's Danish Right. Okay, school School surprises and say school audit actually, I'm sure it does somewhere. I'm sure it's I'm sure it's in code somewhere There's a skull. I'm surprised and say that or just do it. But yeah this This is surprising the image is a mirrored image. So if you do flip it if you mirror it
Starting point is 01:55:32 It is on the right arm because initially when we saw it last night It was like hey, it's on the wrong arm, but no it's it's taken in a mirror. Yes No, I picked up on that and It does look like a lot of people are speculating That he went to the tattoo parlor and they gave him that book and he just picked out one Or he looked at the wall and he went. Oh, yeah, that's pretty cool Doesn't look like a lot of thought when this doesn't look like anything that represents that custom. Yes Does it represent John Melendez in any way but I will say I did a reverse image search
Starting point is 01:56:02 There's a lot of similar tattoos out there. Yeah, okay, so I'm not crazy To say that apparently oh, you know what else is really funny that I saw devil is anonymous Somebody tatted up Aaron's face for his mugshot someday Someday we'll get there. All right, that's my shot John yeah he's so handsome John came on his show yesterday and he starts off with his typical green screen fail and announcing he's back baby everybody knows that holy shit how does he do this every time how is he always not centered so you can see part of the wall on his show it's hard to do every
Starting point is 01:56:54 single time oh there's that tattoo pretty cool shit Oh, this table's gotta move. How heavy is that table? Or should I say how weak is Johnny? Look at the amount of effort it takes to move this table that he's sitting at. Move. What's going on there, Johnny? I thought you were all big and buff. Or again, the overacting kicks in.
Starting point is 01:57:23 Yeah. Oh, you think that's what's going on here That's true, yeah, he's a performer How are you how are you everybody Happy September 3rd, I hope everyone enjoyed my political show lesson yesterday with the army major Nope but enjoyed my political show lesson yesterday with the army major. Nope. But anyway, here we are in the dabble verse as usual. Hair's growing in and guns are looking great. Okay, keep telling us that. So who could have predicted it? John said he's leaving the dab devil verse, he's over it, he's done with it, and then he only came back because of the easo doh thing, and now he's right back into it.
Starting point is 01:58:13 And I think that we all predicted that. I think every single person said that's what was going to happen, and every single person was correct. Go figure. This is why John's not good at bluffing. Right. He's not good. I never think he... You mispronounced everything.
Starting point is 01:58:31 Yeah, correct. I never think he has pocket aces. Because he never does. I'm not falling for it. He plays that clip from Escape from New York. Yeah. The Duke dies at the end. Yes. Have we pointed that out? Yes. Okay. I'm sorry Yeah, I'm sorry, but John just likes the name the Duke and I was lduke
Starting point is 01:58:50 You might want to get that Sign behind him updated for the lduke thing But let's remember guys. I am a hypocrite. This is why the hypocrisy Police started because of me and lady K supposed to be observed Sorry Carl. I'll do K the Duke. I don't know if you caught it when hitman Dan was on yesterday. Mm-hmm John stole that name from hitman Dan. Oh, was that true? The Duke they used to call me that in high school
Starting point is 01:59:26 Nothing's original original They used to call me that in high school. Shut the fuck up. He stole Hitman Dan's nickname. Oh no. Nothing's original with this guy. Nothing's original. I have some clips of Hitman Dan being on the show, but I didn't catch that, unfortunately. And Lady K's supposed to be observe and report. Well Lady K, you're a fucking hypocrite. Why is that?
Starting point is 01:59:43 Because you don't observe and report on the pedophilia network, do you? You didn't really say anything about it. What was that, Adam? No, he never mentioned it once, never came up. I've talked about ESODO so many times. You avoided it and avoided it. I've brought it up so many times. We did an entire creep- off bonus show about the guy
Starting point is 02:00:06 We did a deep dive into it. I've talked to Julie about it on point double play We talked about who are these pod ghosts? What else am I supposed to say? You're supposed to express the opinions that John would express other than that you did not cover. Okay, fair enough Carl when I called you while I was downloading his audiobook from your patreon and I asked you to talk about it You said no, I will not talk about you know, I'm downloading I'm gonna stop having you on card And you're gonna reveal all this private information between us on the curtain back Chugging his Papsi. Oh Holy shit you go
Starting point is 02:00:43 You you do hours on me. But you don't observe a report on the biggest story coming out of the double verse, which I'm always bored with, April and Aaron Emholt. And I see Aaron got arrested. There's another one. Let's add another one of these guys to the long list of Arrests made by those in the double verse Second half he can't love Aaron Imholted with any of us sir. How dare you?
Starting point is 02:01:19 Yeah, but I'd like to hear that list of arrests. Well, he talks about Isso Doe. Mm-hmm Bob Levy from 20 years ago. Oh, we're going I've been arrested to producer Joe Yeah, I believe that's been brought up that I was arrested because when I was a teenager But apparently everyone in the dabble verse is bad, but him He's amazing and we were talked about this earlier during our steel toe segment But John's not interested in steeltoe because it's not about him. He's like, this is a big story. I know everyone's talking about Aaron and April. It's like,
Starting point is 02:01:52 yeah, we are. I don't care about that. Right? Because that has nothing to do with stuttering john moland is the only thing he's interested in. Now, the big news just talking about is the fact that surely got john's Bumble profile, his dating app profile. And they showed it on the Uncle Rico show. They showed the pictures that John uses. They read the profile.
Starting point is 02:02:18 And so John's like, guys, I'm not worried about it. I'll read you the profile right now. Let's see. My bio. I'm a divorced father of three wonderful kids. I have lived a charm life filled with amazing obstacles overcome. I've written for many shows, including tonight's show and I published the best selling book. Okay. A little flex. It's not a best selling book. Yeah, just getting a book published does not make any best-selling book. What are you talking about? It's not even a selling book. No, it's not being sold anywhere. Barely a book Carl. It's being regifted What is he talking about a best-selling book? I hate that shit
Starting point is 02:02:59 Can't blame me for it. Can you? About me five eight which I am well five seven and a a half and you know, I'll round up to the half active undergraduate degree Drink sometimes Smoke no So he just gave the wink to the camera When he wrote drinks sometimes I like that he says active too
Starting point is 02:03:23 Okay Sure so later on in the show also he he also read his his Sometimes I like that he's active too Okay sure So later on in the show also he also read his his his own dating profile the degree part that he wrote Right and made that like evidence that I have a degree from NYU Dating at the privacy lying about a lot of things. Best selling book, drink sometimes. So Penis Wrinkle brings this up to him and says, why would you put you drink sometimes on the app? And at first, John answers this truthfully, but then he backtracks and tries to spin it.
Starting point is 02:04:01 This is weird. Penis wrinkle. You lie on you lie on your bumble and say you drink sometimes. I do drink sometimes. Am I drinking now? No. Therefore I drink sometimes. Will I drink later on? Yes. But I don't drink every minute. And when I do drink I drink. Mikulovolta I'm not drinking now. Is there a beer in region? Yes, there is. It's right here.
Starting point is 02:04:30 That's hilarious right there. But the fact that it's light beer. So it doesn't really count. Obviously, it's drinking. It's very it's not high octane alcohol. Oh, shit. This is weird. I think I got bit by a fucking spider. Look at that. Whoa. That's not a bug bite. What do you think that is Adam? alcoholism. Really? How does
Starting point is 02:04:52 that work? I don't know. But it's not normal. He tried to inject himself with alcohol. Look at that thing. And he just noticed it now. Look how big that is. Look how big that bump is. God, you would think if he took a shower or something, he would have noticed that. Or noticed it and not bring it up. Like right on his arm like that? He didn't notice until he saw it in the camera? When he was reaching for the beer that he's not drinking.
Starting point is 02:05:19 I hope he got his doctor today. That's why he didn't do a show today. He better be a doctor with that. You know what? You could be right. It might have swollen up even more since this. Motherfucker. You got a lot of black widows over here.
Starting point is 02:05:35 Yeah, I said I drink sometimes and I also wink. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, John. We're not trying to get the property value to decrease in Cape Coral. Let's not talk about how there's dangerous spiders, all right? Not on my property, by the way. No dangerous spiders where I live. Just want to point out. We'll drink toilet water. My water system is amazing at carnival. And expensive. It is expensive, but it's nice. It's like spring water. Get a lot of black widows over here. Yeah, I said I drink sometimes and I also winked. But no, penis wrinkle. OK.
Starting point is 02:06:07 John, people that are reading your Bumble profile can't see that you winked now. Right. Yes. Did I lie on my profile? Yes, but I did it on purpose. Well, yeah, no, I know. We all thought that.
Starting point is 02:06:22 Everybody who lies does it on purpose. Right. I don't drink all the time. Right. Everybody who lies doesn't have purpose. I don't drink all the time. I got up this morning at 9. Did I drink? No. Something an alcoholic would say. Holy shit. I didn't have a beer when I got up this morning. Okay, it's a good start.
Starting point is 02:06:44 Let's see where he's going with this. It's now almost four. Whoa! It's almost four so what is he at? Like seven beers probably, right? I mean it's almost four. Have I had a beer? No. Wow! I thought this guy was an alcoholic but I was wrong. It's amazing. Have I had any drinks? No. Therefore, I drink sometimes. If you drink every day, that's not something I think that's the
Starting point is 02:07:14 point Peter's wrinkles trying to make. And at first judge is like, wait, wait, I know, right? I do drink a lot. They just like, well, that's like it. I actually do only drink sometimes. Yeah, like when the Yankees are playing or on podcast when I sleep Technically only breathe sometimes right constantly breathing All right, so this clip right here is such perfect projection Because if this was flipped and this was someone talking about John after the
Starting point is 02:07:45 Kate Meany tapes came out after we heard the way that John talked to Kate Meany on the phone you would think this would make sense. It doesn't matter what I mean you would think after this shit way it would have been so embarrassed he would have stopped podcasting but he can't because he has no morals and he certainly can't afford to lose the few shekels that he gets off of me yeah john you just described yourself absolutely to a t you literally wanted to lead the devil verse and so he says yeah i went to key or whatever, but he's too toxic and he's above that and he's smarter than this and he's right back into it. The first thing he does on the show,
Starting point is 02:08:31 talk about the devil verse today. Okay. So you need this obviously. And the morals thing. I know. What does that have to do with anything? We're laughing at you for flirting with a girl less than half your age. I mean, I think my mom brought me up right. I think that seems appropriate. You turned it around. I don't know what else I'm supposed to do with that. Has anybody ever told you how funny you are? And he came back to the internet after that. It's incredible. Take some take some balls, I guess. Hitman Dan joins the show. And listen to what John says to Hitman Dan. Yeah, yeah, so Danny,
Starting point is 02:09:17 the shit way, yeah. Yeah, yeah, went into my, you know, got something to go and get into my phone and read my Bumble profile. It had my pictures on his computer. So John has turned this into, somebody found John's Bumble profile and they screen grabbed it. No, they got it through his phone. Now you say someone went into his phone and got that.
Starting point is 02:09:41 And it makes me wonder if John does see a therapist, it's a waste of money because anything he's reporting to the therapist He doesn't understand reality He doesn't even know what's going on He complains to the authorities or his therapist or anything about how he's being harassed and what's going on wait They got into your phone. Yeah, they got into my phone. Yeah, the therapist doesn't ask any follow-up questions that they'll see John. You're fine Yeah, you're right, but any follow-up questions that they'll see John you're fine There's nothing wrong with you. Yeah, everyone else. Yeah, you're right But do you know what I mean? He doesn't even understand just the basics of what's happening and he he's going on and on in this episode About because someone brings it up the hro
Starting point is 02:10:19 that steeltoes ex-wife has where he's not allowed to Talk shit about her anymore. Someone brings out there like you could do that to Shuley and then Shuley can't talk shit about you anymore. He's like yeah I know I think I can. No definitely not. You don't have a relationship with Shuley where you're co-parenting. You're a public figure. You go on the internet and we make fun of you. Imagine that. That would be a sitcom This fall they used to goof on each other every day
Starting point is 02:10:51 They're co-parenting Hacks my do hacks the handoff on weekends has never been crazier All right, so now John's talking to Dan off mic and Kurt if you saw this it's distracting. Like they're talking about Aaron Rodgers and is he going to stay healthy and there's conversation going on from across the house that you don't know what's happening and then this happens. Chico's bail bonds thanks for the two bucks. Who else's kids do you have on your phone? I don't have any kids on my phone. I don't have any. I don't get it. I'm trying to do a fucking show. Please. Jesus Christ.
Starting point is 02:11:40 Where was I? Chico's well, thanks for the two bucks. Who else is kids. You have any fun. I don't have any I Don't have any It's like he put the needle back at the record before he was Interfered with and started over again. Yeah, and he like Dan just said don't ask me to stick my head in so John has to prove that he has a friend and then when it doesn't go right he's like get the fuck out of here When the friends bothering him yeah, he's so easily distracted Sketch every time he turns his head
Starting point is 02:12:19 So anyways truly is this guy used to work for the Stern show. No, no, we know we got it. Yeah, very good Um, all right. This is uh a fun clip. I bet my buddy Rocco was taking notice of this fucking and none of them would do this shit to my face Not one of them Not one of these fucking cowards would do it to my face Has your son ever queezed in your face? One opportunity. The fact that Jack can still say, no one would even say shit to my face when it's happened.
Starting point is 02:12:53 It's on video. Dabler of the year right there. Sorry, Cardiff, not to rub this in your face. It's pretty big. Very impressive. And the fact that I've seen that a hundred times and it still fills me with glee. It's still funny every time. And John can sit there on his show and be like, oh, you wouldn't do that to
Starting point is 02:13:14 my face though. There's no fucking way you was. Rocco couldn't have gotten any closer to you. You see, Carl, this is that deceptive editing that you do. You're editing and cutting out the part immediately when it cuts where John threatened him to a fight, demanded he come outside with him and Rocco back down like a little boy. You're skipping all of that.
Starting point is 02:13:36 That's right. Yes. I forgot about all that stuff that did not happen. You are missing something because what he's been doing lately and even on this show He mentioned it after that Cardiff would never say anything to my face Cardiff would like he's almost he's not talking about Rocco as much anymore, right? You're right He's he's trying to erase Rocco from the dabble verse as far as he's concerned because he is the only one You know what set it to his face. That's a good point
Starting point is 02:14:03 John for whatever reason he's friends with Chad and Kevin again all of a sudden So that was short-lived the the Chad and John feud it. I wanted it too bad obviously Mike Rob saw wanting it too bad apparently took it away from you blind Mike is Never brought up anymore. Why Mike was one of the people he was gonna sue Also the IQ tests going back a little ways. And you're right, Tukey's not brought up anymore. I think John realizes there's no way he can win. But it's always, surely the Shit Weigher Network,
Starting point is 02:14:34 me and Cardiff. Right. It's like Adam was saying about Howard not acknowledging John. Right. Because he would have to acknowledge other things. That would be embarrassing. That would be embarrassing.
Starting point is 02:14:47 So let's not do that. He was talking about Cardiff the other day, and he was saying how, you know, Cardiff doesn't have the balls to not hide behind a mask and a filter. And he was saying this to Clay Dablu,
Starting point is 02:14:59 who was wearing a mask with no sense of irony at all. Right. And Clay is such an idiot because we all know what his face looks like. We've already seen it. And he still insists on wearing that thing that makes him look so foolish. I think about him smoking cigarettes through that
Starting point is 02:15:16 and the taste of that mask while he's doing that. It just sounds like a nightmare. Everything about the flat that he lives in looks like a horror movie to me. I enjoy when he puts Eric the actor up behind him though. That I like. Yeah, that's always fun. But you know, it looks miserable. And there's always sirens in the background, like he lives in a shitty neighborhood.
Starting point is 02:15:38 All of it seems awful. All right. This is a fun clip. It's New Rochester. Oh God. Alright, this is a fun clip. Go Rochester. Oh god Rochester not have a good showing for devil God, but Anyone who stayed the strath out or came to my house got to witness some of the nicer areas Those are the two areas. That's it. I
Starting point is 02:16:00 Mean the baseball game would have been fine, but Joey C was there There goes the neighborhood if he was right in front of my face, not one of them. I guarantee fucking do it. The way he drools. I've never seen another adult drool like this. It's baby like where the moisture is just piling up in front of his teeth And it just it has to drip out like a fountain It was spittle like coming out which happens to have a look on three there's gonna be a stancho fountain Bleak film John Sarah says got nothing on this guy. They're talking about fountains see that again I Care and fucking day John Ceres says he's got nothing on this guy. We're talking about fountains. Let's see that again. I can't fucking dig it.
Starting point is 02:16:54 It just it hangs there for a minute and then gravity takes over and just drips. What a gross man. Gross house that must be. Alright, one more clip on here. Let's remember, John's very good at what he does. Mavi Matuk. It's like Swahili Barry White. So John's watching clips from Shulies Anonymous. And he goes in there and he doesn't know what he's gonna do. But now we're gonna see how John makes fun of the Shulies show.
Starting point is 02:17:24 He's gonna give it back to them the way that they give it to him. Let's see how good he is at this. Yeah. That's what Mike sounds like to me anyway. Jesus. What happened? It's no wonder why he didn't make it in comedy. Only for Ricochet to make a mid card debut. Subscribe and swang you Ricochet's dead ass. Subscribe and swahili ricochets dead ass, subscribe and swahili.
Starting point is 02:18:08 21 with no sign of resurgence. Subscribe or I'll sue you in Swahili. Just playing. What? Well, that was lame. Jesus. He doesn't even know what he's watching. So John starts off by doing the thing that he's been doing ever since he started doing this
Starting point is 02:18:26 Format repeating what the person said and then going what a loser you're not funny Which is not a good reaction show. It's not a good strategy for a reaction show at all Overlapping it's something that nobody thought was funny, right and then go I see you're not funny And then he's watching something has no idea what it is. It's just like huh? I don't know what that is and he was so prepared for everything last week One show one show even while he was scrolling through red. I think it was in yesterday's episode He's like, oh this looks like a good title Yeah, and now he has to like go through and make sure it's not gonna porn bomb him
Starting point is 02:19:02 Every single time take Joe. what are you doing all day that you can't sit down and watch five or six videos and then choose those to be the videos? Not drinking. You're right. He's too busy getting bitten by spiders. Apparently. I think so. I think he wakes up right before the broadcast. I think as
Starting point is 02:19:19 minutes before. I wouldn't be surprised. It's definitely happened. Back when he would do his shows at noon He would come on and be chugging orange juice and Water and an energy drink and for the first 15 minutes of the show Seven and a half of those minutes were him chugging a liquid because he's so dehydrated He just got up. He's hungover He's trying to feel better.
Starting point is 02:19:45 It's like, just get up at 1030 and chug all those liquids. Or don't drink yourself stupid the night before. I don't know. Couple different options. I'm so glad you brought that up because remember that? Remember the simpler times when we used to laugh about time zones? Remember that was the big thing? And NG and oh my God.
Starting point is 02:20:05 And now it's all just the darkest stuff you can think of. And we all saw it. He dragged us down there. I mean, ESO didn't help, but he dragged us down. No, no, for sure. He's not having fun with this, which is the way. Let me say this for all the young dabblers out there. The way to enjoy the dabble verse is with a smile on your face.
Starting point is 02:20:26 And not a not a care in the world. You know, we start striking channels and watching CP and trying to plant CP on people's phones. That's not the way to enjoy the dabble verse people. He had a very revealing moment the other day. Maybe you remember he went on some rant about like, you don't bully a Melendez. It's a Melendez trait. If you bully us, we come for you. It is something he's like, I will not stand for it. I will not tolerate it. You cannot do it. And it reminded us what this is all really about. Not his kids, not his job, not teaching. It's about him not being able to handle being made fun of in any way. Yeah, and that's it and it's really sad yeah, it's his ego and he sees himself as this big star and celebrity and
Starting point is 02:21:13 If you tell him he's a big star and celebrity He's your best friend and he needs stuff from you and if you tell him anything else you're an asshole and a bully and a troll and Your opinion doesn't exist and doesn't matter And with that, I think that we should probably try to poke a dabbler. Yeah Let's get annie waiting backstage patiently for this. What's up, annie? Oh, hello. Oh, hello. Hello And going back to making going back. Oh, hi
Starting point is 02:21:43 Going back to adam say wanting the the the funner times of Stuttering John, I'm trying to pull those clips exclusively for it to poke a dabbler going forward. Oh, okay, good. Fantastic. Because it did hit me when I did John's show, he sent me a time and I realized when he sent it, oh, he's traveling right now. This is when he was going from Kenoga Park to somewhere. We assumed it was Florida, but we didn't quite know. And I realized, oh, I don't know what time zone he means. So I asked him on every means of communication, what time zone are we in?
Starting point is 02:22:16 And he never responded. I just had to see it on YouTube and then jump on. So after all of these years, he's learned nothing. That's incredible. And he never will. No, he'll never understand time zones. It's great. Why is everyone's why? Of course. Yeah, yeah. All right, let's, let's get to it.

That's right, it's a TV show called- Now make that interesting. No, it's a tough one. It's PBC, it's about CPAs. It's very much like the show The Office.

Annie, do you have some reviews you can read for us? Yes, I got two for us today. Great. The first one comes from Forrest Entry and is titled Unsavory.
Starting point is 02:33:15 This show is just mean-spirited and they bully other shows. It's generally uncouth and humor is nearly non-existent. They complain so much, it's draining. I want that as our new tagline. Could you write that? Can you send that to me, Eddie? I want to change our tagline. That sounds like a one-star review to me. No, that one's five. See, I should have known. I liked it so much. Hey look, they did a good job on that one. They did do a very good job on that. Okay, what else you got? The second one comes from Hammer Gremlins and the title is I never miss an episode
Starting point is 02:33:48 Who are these podcasts is a show that keeps you listening every week as a former Stern and ONA fan I love seeing familiar characters come back to the spotlight whether it's in a positive or negative way It's so funny when you see karma take effect after 30 years My wife and I sing along to all the parody songs that come out Thank you, Tony and magenta. And my friends are hoping to go to the live show very soon. Keep up the great work guys. W A T P.
Starting point is 02:34:11 Wow, that's glowing. That's a one star blushing over here from that one. Is it? Is that really a one star? Yeah. Yeah. Carl, you need to repeat the rules because the rules are. Listen, people, I appreciate you're trying to have some fun with this, but the algorithm's looking for five star reviews. They want to recommend good shows to people. So. Jesus. All right. That was a very nice review though. It's very
Starting point is 02:34:35 confusing. So I'm 0 for 2 today in guessing star reviews. Go figure. All right. You keep disappearing from us, Producer Chris. I'm sorry. I'm elusive. I'm gonna have to get a new camera for you. Alright, let's hit some voicemails. There's a drunk guy who loves us. Hey, Carl, I've been listening to your show for a while. I just wanted, I'm very drunk, I just wanted to say that. I really like your show. I've been listening to it for because you're fat and stupid like Vinny but you know,
Starting point is 02:35:07 I just, I just, um, yeah, man, you're great. Anyway, call me back, buddy. When he hears it on the show, it'll be the first time he hears that. We've really talked music today, Adam. Sometimes when you and I get together we talk some music. Maybe this will be our jumping off point. Hey, Carl. Hey, Chris. Big fan, obviously. My thing is, I agree with Chris completely on Sealy Gann. I can't fucking stand Sealy Gann. I think they're fucking wack. The songs aren't great nor their albums are. If you
Starting point is 02:35:46 like them you like them, it is what it is. My question is, what do you guys think of Bad Company? Because my favorite song from Bad Company is Bad Company off of the album Bad Company. So I just want to know what's your guys' take on it. Thank you. Fuck you. Bye. I'm a little surprised the guy who comes out and says Steely Dan sucks is like, but that Bad Company, those guys rock. I wasn't ready for that. First off, you're wrong about Steely Dan.
Starting point is 02:36:13 Their songs are great. Secondly, Bad Company sucks. And I feel like Making Love is one of the worst songs ever fucking written. That song is pure horseshit. I don't know why that was a radio song. I guess payola is the answer to that But Paul Rodgers and Queen just turned me off to Paul Rodgers forever That was just a ill-advised role for him taking over for Freddie Mercury. All right, I've made my points You know, I saw Bad Company live once and the lead singer
Starting point is 02:36:44 He did this bit where he says, does anyone feel like getting drunk? Yeah. Does everyone feel like getting high? Yeah. Does everyone feel like making love? Three, four. Oh, God.
Starting point is 02:36:56 I can see that coming from a mile away. Jesus. I hate everything about the chorus of I Feel Like Making Love. Producer Chris, what are your thoughts on that, Kyle? I hate everything about the chorus of I feel like making love Producer Chris what are your thoughts on that call? Oh Bad Company is a snooze fest of a band and Paul Rodgers is so overrated. Okay It's saying yeah, but I don't know why he's like, yeah in everyone's top five or ten so yeah, both Steely Dan and Bad Company suck, I'm sure it'll get more voicemails about this but
Starting point is 02:37:34 All right, wait on your favorite of the 70s here on W ATP old guy Podcasting talking about old man yelling at a cloud very good This is fun. This guy tries to do this voicemail twice This is fun. This guy tries to do this voicemail twice. I love these. Hey Carl, it's the retard whisperer. Jesus Christ, I'm going to call back and try again. Okay, our word whisperer. Try that one again. Hey Carl, it's the retard whisperer here. I was just calling in. Okay, yeah, I'm going to have to wait until my voice gets better. I'm sorry. I mean, it doesn't really matter. We can make out what you're doing, but all right call back later try again
Starting point is 02:38:07 Deluxe call it in hey Charles deluxe. Here's an idea might be good might not Justice for Johnny crutches Maybe now that Aaron's gone raise them some or he will be gone raise them Do we go find me or is it some money get him some podcasting equipment? He's a cripple with a kid might be fun, might be more of a blind mic thing, but thought I'd throw it out there. So I throw it out there. So just do it. I can't believe how gay John turned you Lady K. Got me again. I do have to say John thought that imitating me saying just do it was the
Starting point is 02:38:42 funniest thing he ever did. and now it's broken him He does it a dozen times an episode. Yeah, it's automatic now It's automatic now and it's always what he's referring to what he considers to be someone who's gay Yes, and he wants to say the F slurs so badly, but it's replaced Yeah, right with someone out on reddit Reddit today that you never said it that way. And what you were saying was, don't say you're going to sue. Right. Just do it.
Starting point is 02:39:13 Just do it. That's exactly what I was saying. So it's kind of a deflection from the point you were making because you still haven't been sued. It always is. Every time there's a typo in Super Chat that's scathing, It's like, actually, it would be your apostrophe RE. Because, okay. Get to the print.
Starting point is 02:39:32 Nate from Flint. Hey, Carl, Nate from Flint, Michigan. Lady Babylon sounds to me like Will Ferrell's Harry Carrey impersonation back in the day. I don't know, what do you think? If you think about how people sound, Johnny Kush used to sound like he was a caller to his own AM radio show and played that show over a stereo, recorded it with one of those 80s style tape recorders and then fed it through a distortion machine before he broadcasted it. So like his audio quality is actually markedly improved. So, you know, give the devil his due and while you're doing
Starting point is 02:40:12 that drink your magic mind. Okay, I agree with you on the magic mind. Very good. But also everyone has a device in their pocket that you can sound good on with nothing else. Yeah, you don't have to sound like Scorch. Yeah, it's crazy to me that people so can't figure out audio. It doesn't have to be perfect. It takes effort to sound that bad. Yes. Right.
Starting point is 02:40:32 I agree. I do like that that was a two-topic 45-second voicemail. Yeah, very good. You don't see too many of those. Thank you for your call. Troy Smith with the chat says, I thought I saw Adam at Devilcon 2. I went to introduce myself and give him a Fuck Sgt. John keychain
Starting point is 02:40:49 Realized it wasn't him and gave the dude a sticker instead It's funny There's a lot of Adam Bush look-alikes at dabble cons you got to be careful DC 3 I promise you better Munich, Germany Alright, hey don't threaten me with a good time. I'm into it. This is Ned Williams, younger brother of the man with the golden voice.
Starting point is 02:41:14 Oh wow. I didn't hear if my brother is confirmed for the magic bag in October, so here goes my audition. Those people in the back. I gotta say Ted Williams, younger brother is not as good at broadcasting as Ted Williams. I'm going to give I'm going to say no to that. But Ted Williams has confirmed he will be there at the magic bag in Ferndale. Very good. I know.
Starting point is 02:41:42 I'm always excited about hanging out with them. Kiki calling into the show. Hello, Carl. This is Kiki. There's a rumor going around that I'm a musician and that I was on tour. That's untrue. I'm untoured. That's untrue. I'm untoward. See what I did there? I'm a comic. Thank you, Keanu, for calling into the show. Always appreciated. Mondays is calling in.
Starting point is 02:42:13 Mondays is the guy who made the Suttering John doc and dropped it the worst time possible after she'd shit herself. But it's also getting a ton of views. People are enjoying that. I know that I sat with my wife and watched Mondays Documentary I thought was very good at Mondays weekly on YouTube. There you go. Hey Carl, it's Mondays So news is apparently the Hawk to a girl's gonna be in my area in the next couple weeks and first I didn't give a shit But then I had an idea
Starting point is 02:42:43 What if I go meet her and try to convince her to join these stuttering John podcast, you know, go on as a guest? Because John loves women. He's very respectful. And he loves people with different political views. Sure. I think that'd be a pretty fun combination. Maybe I should reach out to Shulie for some advice. I heard the Shulies are pretty good at manipulating people. Yeah. Yeah, we'll see. Call me back. By the way, big news. I meant to bring this up earlier. Hawk to a our girl Haley Welch has figured out what she's gonna do with her celebrity now. She's starting a podcast called talk
Starting point is 02:43:20 to a for real, for real. Okay. Yeah, remember about sex She's gonna interview people is what she said. It's gonna be a bit Marza first guess Well, no, remember all Bill Barr was trying to get her on his network. She's actually on is it Logan Paul one of the Paul brothers? Got her on his network. So talk to her Coming soon. I don't know if the series XM is going to give her $100 million but they might. It's very possible honestly. Uh Gary from San Diego is getting
Starting point is 02:43:55 a little saucy these days. Hey Carl. Doesn't Stuttering John know that anything he puts on Bumble is fair game? Pictures of his kids, fair game? Lying about being a staff writer for the Tonight Show, fair game? And anytime somebody catfishes him, well that's just a gullibility test. See if he's gullible for a fake date.
Starting point is 02:44:23 It's almost like a verification test. The verification integrity test, it's a variation on that. It's a gullibility test. John, you keep falling for these catfish dates. Too bad. Well, anyway, that's it from San Diego. Rock and roll. A rock and roll to you, Gary. So you hang up. Yeah, that is on there. I pulled it off the board and it does happen on that call. Um, you know, surely keep talking about going to the West coast and doing a show
Starting point is 02:45:00 out there and if there's a reason to do it, it's if Gary and Adam would come. Those would be my reasons for going out to LA because God, I hate that town. Gary, though I love his delivery. Yeah. Gary's such a great point. That catfish thing was such a great example of john in his element. The fact that he went both routes, he encouraged it and flirted with her as if she was real, but also took pictures and screenshots as if it's fake. So you can't call him on either side.
Starting point is 02:45:31 And he thinks that protects him. He doesn't understand that's called being soulless and having no moral compass or no character. You can't do both and just go to whichever one you want at the time and even switch while it's happening. That's a crazy thing. Well, it's also desperate. Yeah. Because he knows he's getting catfished. But he's like, there's that 1% chance. Right. This chick's going to want to meet up with me in Atlantic City.
Starting point is 02:45:53 And that's the other thing that John's been doing a lot lately, which is his shows are a rerun. As we know, all of his shows are reruns right now. And he goes on and he lists all the things that we did to him. And he'll bring up the guy who parked behind him at Pickwick and then someone filmed him freaking out about it. Or the cat fishing thing. It's like, none of us did that to you, John.
Starting point is 02:46:15 People did that and then they sent it to Shuley or me or whatever. You know, him getting photographed while he was out for his walk, his health walk. No one did that to you. And to your point, you know, the interviews he did with, there you go. The health walk coaster. That's brilliant.
Starting point is 02:46:34 One of the fine coasters we received. The interviews he did with Harvey Fierstein are making the rounds again. And you know, when he would do those interviews, there were people that were very against him and said what he was doing was invasive and insensitive and cruel and mean and puny. Who does he think those people were and who does he think he is now? And he'll tell you his defense is, but I was in person being me talking to them. And he forgets that he was wearing a disguise For a while because people started recognizing him not letting him into things
Starting point is 02:47:16 His name isn't stuttering John right? Yes, and he would lie about the radio station or his credentials or whatever But yeah, I know John's always got an excuse remember when John does something that's hypocritical. He has a good reason for it Mm-hmm. He's the only person who lies with a reason. Everyone else lies randomly and has no good reason for it. He lies with a reason, so it's different. Adam, every time I lie, I'm protecting the kids, just so you know. Just so you know, between you and me, if I say something to you that turns out to be full of shit,
Starting point is 02:47:39 I was just protecting the kids. I'm the same way. Yeah, cool. All right, so we're good then. We're allowed to do that. This has been fantastic. What a fun show. Thanks everyone for hanging out. Thanks to Adam. Annie, I didn't get your plugs in. Are you doing anything on your YouTube channel? Yes, in 30 minutes, I'm going live for my first bonus episode.
