Who Are These Podcasts? - Ep550 - Howard Stern is Back
Episode Date: September 5, 2024Howard Stern is back from his summer vacation and boy is he excited to get back on the air. Oh wait, nope, he immediately starts complaining about having to work. But he has a lot to talk about, right...? Nope, he wants to berate Gary Dell’Abate (Baba Booey) over a very trivial concern. And his hot political take? He still wants to vote for Biden. Adam Busch joins the show to break down the reason why there are so many celebrities at the Smartless taping. Scorch recently recorded his “6 month anniversary” show and there are a dozen hilariously bad things that happen in the first three minutes. Paddy Brokenskull found out I made an AI song about him and he’s not sure how to react but he definitely reacts. Aaron Imholte goes to jail and explains the experience like he was at a Sandals resort. Cardiff Electric joins us as Stuttering John thinks it’s illegal to make fun of his dating app profile. And finally we play a round of To Poke A Dabbler, read some confusing reviews, and listen to your voicemails.

No producer Chris. 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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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?
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,
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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,
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.
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
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,
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?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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?
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.
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,
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
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
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!
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?
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
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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?
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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!
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.
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
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?
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
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
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
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.
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?
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
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
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
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?
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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,
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.
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
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?
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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,
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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
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
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?
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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,
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,
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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,
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.
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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?
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.
It's time for everyone's favorite new game show to poke a dabler
Are you ready to poke a dabler? Yes TVs Adam Bush
But I mean anyway, thanks for the super chat Patrick Lewinsky.
I appreciate it.
Thank you.
Okay, now let's go.
In the last week, but I was going to picture.
Yeah, mostly.
Boring.
He's making some good points here.
I got to agree. here. I got it
Yeah, I get it
clock I
Was losing my fucking shit over this I was really pissed off and I was way more sure a little freaking whiny little baby
Why cuz I tweeted out Karl and the other four losers and you couldn't fucking take it you fat fuck. Carl fucking calls your wife fat and all this other shit. You don't seem
to care because he's your little bad boy. But I fucking, God forbid I make a mistake
and I tweet out something accidentally and you lose your shit you fucking little cowardly pussy cowardly lion
pissed off and i should have been it really yeah it really pissed me off i should have been
really more pissed off than i should have been fucking send me into like next level angry. Oh, I'm so terrified. Oh my god
I don't want to send Vincent Paulino into next level anger. Oh
No, and this potato. Oh, no. Oh
That would be
All I don't want to get his panties in a bunch, okay, what did John say next here your choices
Number one. This is our week is three ex panties
It's too funny With a very effeminate voice. I'm Vinny Pauli now
Next am I allowed to say that?
For
Qui baby Vinny qui oh wow and lastly fat fuck
to poke a dabbler.
Wow. This is a tough one.
Because obviously you said all of these things, but I think it's next.
Am I allowed to say that?
Oh, I want to say the Vinnie Paulino and a feminine voice, but I'm going with next.
Am I allowed to say that?
Because I just remember that when he was talking
I trust your gut
Don't say that. I just remember when when he was talking about getting your panties in a bunch
I'm like John you're this is before you know, they just do it just calling everyone gay all the time, right?
I was like, you know, you probably should talk about what people wear their clothing since your daughter doesn't like a boy
But whatever what do you think Adam? I have to go with B. Yeah okay. It just feels right. It does feel right for sure. I mean they
all feel pretty good but that one I can just hear it. Annie what do you think? I think it's
quite baby Vinny quite because he was just talking about him being a baby and then he
switched to the panties thing and then he's very inconsistent with his metaphors Yeah, everyone in the chat is saying number four as well shit. I
Went for now. I don't feel good about it. All right
Everyone's saying it. Let's see. Let's find out here we go. I don't want to get Vinny
Oh, I don't want to get his panties in a bunch. Am I allowed to say that?
DJ Q five bucks you gotta pay the thousand bet.
Oh, Cardiff was trying to steer you wrong.
Nope.
Look at how pissed he is right now.
Not doing it.
Dean Maroon, John, WATP makes 10,000 a month, Justin Patreon.
Yeah, okay.
I don't believe it.
How about that?
Show me the numbers. Show me the numbers.
Show me the numbers.
You do know that on Patreon, you can become a member without paying.
You do know that, right?
Or are you too stupid to not know that?
You do know that you could have patrons that haven't paid a dime.
You do know that.
I'm just saying.
Lady K is renting his house.
That's all for this time.
Come back next time to find out if you are man enough to poke a dabbler.
Sit Eugene sit good dog
Guys know all the words we just I'm sorry real fast. We talked about his nickname
Cowardly lion why are all of his insults not?
Actual insults like cowardly lion not really an insult moonhead odd, but it's not an insult
Chadly Chadly Chad is an actual insult just call him a chair right makes it less of an insult
It's like calling Dick Masterson Richard Masterson and thinking you've gotten him. Yeah or
Lady Kmart that was a mystery to me. All of them are not I don't really insults
They're just references silent Mike is not an insult a shit wear
References his only rag on Shulie that he didn't have a famous bit
So his nickname is referencing his famous bit its first bet too. Yeah, but yeah, it's all you ever did over
That was was way shit. Okay. he always names people things that are not
Insults, it's always kind of a compliment. Yeah, he's no trouble wildly and clever. It's no trouble when he comes to that
That is for sure
Guys, we've been going along

Very fun time fun time. This is a show called two cool moms
This comes in from an anonymous source that did not want to be named
for knowing about this show.
And I'm excited to have Brandon McAfee, producer of the Drew Lane show, coming on the show
with us to check that out this weekend.
But even more exciting than that is the fact that Adam Butch has made his debut on WATP with a fantastic job analyzing Howard Stern,
Aaron Imholz Scorch, stuttering John Melendez,
and Adam, you're involved in a project about accounting.
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.
It's a workplace comedy,
and I play the villain on season 3.
And it's actually there's people from The Office in the show.
It's very well done, very well produced.
They're on season 3 as you mentioned.
It's a popular show. Where can people find that?
They can find it on Flowcast and right here on YouTube Premium.
Alright. You gotta spell Flowcast.
F-L-O-Q-A-S-T. All right, you gotta spell flow cast FLO Q AST, okay, that would not be
What you'd first type in if you heard you just assume it was that
Definitely not but and thank you so much for being on the show today. I always enjoy talking to you
I get the sense you enjoy having people to talk to you about all this nonsense as well
the sense you enjoy having people to talk to about all this nonsense as well. Well he's an actor. Well that's true he probably is fooling me. No no no this is very much
therapy for me I appreciate it. I love it. Well thank you again for being here with us.
If you need to go cool if you want to hang we're gonna do some reviews and voicemails.
Is it awkward if I stick around? I'd like to stick around. Oh yeah, please do. I wanted to make sure that we got your plugs in and I'm usually conscious
of people's time and we're going live to that, unfortunately. Usually. I got abouts. Good log,
everybody. Hey, Cardiff, what's the latest with you? You're over on Rumble, right?
Rumble. Rumble.com slash user slash card. Whatever. Just search Cardiff Electric.
Subreddit Surfing's coming back to Rumble. Cardiff Electric on R Cardiff electric subreddit surfing is coming back to rumble Cardiff electric on rumble everywhere
subreddit surfing card of electric find those channels subscribe follow do all
the things patreon.com part of like have you heard back from YouTube at all yeah

I'm trying to get at least my content back. Yeah.
So I don't know if I'll even get a response on that one but I said okay I'll take it but yeah they've said no you're you're out. Wow that sucks man. Sorry to hear that. Everybody showed up to
rumble so far. We had a great great potato soup Monday night over 600 we hit at one point so on humble I think that's a win
and we had a bunch on X too so people are X is the new future anyway so we're
all gonna be on X doing video soon Carl everyone knows the numbers are totally
legit on rumble and axe yes they are he got that from his buddy Rocco, I think. 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.
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
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.
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
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,
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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,
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. The last episode where
recovered pray went over three hours. So we're gonna go and
cover all the stuff that we cut out because we're like, it's
three hours and you need to stop.
Great.
So come on over in 30 minutes, youtube.com slash at WITGS.
Very good.
All right, we'll see you over there.
And Adam, again, thanks so much for coming on.
Thank you.
Let's do it again soon.
I would love that.
Awesome. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Watch it Carly Fuck his mom BOOM
I gotta go, goodbye
GOODBYE
I don't know, who gives a shit, why am I even still doing this
I'm outta here
Ahh Carl, I love you
Go fuck yourselves, have a good week Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Okay, bye. Oh, Miss Tidebox, do you know what you did wrong?
