It's the Cousin News. Welcome to another episode of Who Are These? Podcast, the only show that never takes a week off.
I'm your host, Carl, with me today. His future's so bright he has to wear shades from the Blind Mike Project. And why are you laughing? It's Blind Mike!
Pleasure to be here, Carl. Thank you for having me.
Thanks for coming on. And also, my partner in crime, producer Chris.

encourage our listeners, give us five stars wherever you review podcasts. That helps the
algorithm, but you can always shit on us in the
comments section. That's fun. Today, we'll be reviewing a show called Behind the
Bunker. This is a suggestion from Robo Shitstain MK9000 in our Discord. We
both listen separately. We've not discussed it with you beforehand. Let's
get into it. The show hosted by Todd Antic, Josh Zubie Zubrakis, Joe Kimson, and Gavin Sharma.
And let me just read the note that Robo Shitstain posted in our Discord when he suggested this.
He says, aging Gen Xers attempt to talk paintball and over each other constantly over a slightly
too loud music bed that never turns off, cut with segments produced like 90s public access.
The show is led by a possibly closeted gay man named Todd
with a revolving door of co-hosts and guests
that have the broadcasting chops of a morning zoo.
Also, this show has been going on for over 12 years now.
They're doing a weekly show about Paintball.
I don't know if you could tell by the way
I sent you the clips,
but there was a little confusion with me at first.
They upload both the video and the audio to YouTube,
so they have like a live stream,
but then they also upload a video version
that is just their podcast logo.
And I don't know why they do that,
because some of those literally have,
I've never seen this before on a YouTube channel, zero views.
Right, and they have 6,200 subs.
And I was confused too, because they put up their podcast episodes and it is just a still image with the audio
But that's the same thing that they have on their live channel when they do this every Monday night
And I think that the live videos they get about 50 views average each
I think they're more of a Facebook show though
I think these guys are so jet- that they're still like, no,
we're not going to get better than Facebook when it comes to social media.
This is all we need.
There clearly are people contributing. They're getting questions and emails,
the depth of which are pretty amazing.
Like when you said it's been on for 12 years,
I didn't believe you because it didn't make sense to me based on some of the
topics they get into. Right. A lot of talk about food and charcuterie boards. That's a big staple.
They're Seinfeld fans obviously, which bothered me because as a Seinfeld aficionado myself,
they do it in such a ham handed way. It's not like Tuesdays with stories. They really shoehorn the
references in.
Yeah, they haven't gotten a lot better.
I do have a clip we'll play later on of their very first video live stream that they did from 12 years ago.
And it doesn't appear they've gotten much better. Usually people get better at things over time.
I don't know, maybe they're also terrible at paintball.
But here's what I learned. There is a professional paintball league. Oh, yeah
Yeah, that's like you do this. Oh you oh, there's you're not a member, you know
You're not a fan of
Dynasty that's a name they kept throwing out there and no one's ever invited me to a match
I've never gone and seen it live or anything. I know I feel like I'm being left out
I don't you guys are all doing on the weekends when I don't see you.
Maybe it's fascinating the depths that they get into because they say things
like someone asked a question and they just casually go like, as we all know,
the nineties and two thousands were the,
that was the pinnacle for paintball and it's been downhill since.
I didn't know that actually.
The decline.
Well, let's start off because everyone has an AI theme song now, so let's hear their
AI theme song.
Get into the mood.
This is Behind the Bunker, a weekly podcast about paintball and paintball culture.
Join your host Todd Anxidge along with Zuby, Joe and Gavin for an entertaining hour paintball
stories and discussions.
If you are watching live, you go ahead and leave a comment as we may even read it on the show.
We promise no to get too far off topic and derail and we'll keep to talk about food to a minimum.
Find this and my other episodes or a paintball podcast anywhere you get your favorite
So you can see their corn balls based on that song alone.
I'm as ready for paintball talk as I've ever been.
Well, in that case, why don't you take it away?
Where should we start on your list of clips here?
Uh, so I say start with my first clip because I think that's what I'm talking about where
it's like, I would think after 12, like for example, if I have been doing, why are you
laughing for 12 years? I'm going gonna be scraping the bottom of the barrel. I'm not gonna be like, you guys ever heard of
George Carlin? So here are some of the topics they're getting into 12 years in.
Yes, this is episode 550 something of this shit.
So tonight ladies and gentlemen the topic is what is one positive and what is one negative thing
about paintball and I know we all have both positive and negative things to say so we'll get to that
Last week's topic and podcast is up it which was what paintball product were you least impressed with and
Despite the fact that you all got pissy that I used angel eyes in the graphic. We had a good show
So it's like do you guys like paintball? What do you what do you like about it? It's like we've done 600 episodes
Do you guys like paintball? What do you what do you like about it? It's like we've done 600 episodes
Could you imagine having any other pick any other sport?
Baseball and like today we're talking about one good thing about baseball one bad thing about baseball
And how many people really got pissy about the graphic zero, yeah
Also if they are getting engagement on Facebook, like we were talking about, but is Facebook a place
where you sit down and watch an hour long anything?
I don't know, because I think maybe for old people,
because that's where Richard Ojeda's audience is as well.
Oh, OK.
Yeah.
Interesting.
Well, these guys are Canadians also.
And you can tell by their accents.
If you play my clip too, they are appealing to a national Well these guys are Canadians. Also. And you can tell by their accents.
If you play my clip too, they are appealing to a national audience, which I was interested by.
Now keep in mind, when I was time-stamping this part, I was looking at a video that had legitimately three views on it.
Yes.
So I was dumbfounded.
Sorry, we got into the nog on break so here's a question
Do you guys nog or not nog at Christmas and is that a?
Everybody knows what egg nog is or is it more mostly just a North American thing?
Merry Christmas Donna nice to see you
Brian Foster and everyone else that's in the live chat right now
All right
Too much information just New Zealanders now just the New Zealanders
What do you guys know about eggnog and then we'll get to Spain?
But it's hilarious to say is this eggnog thing am I being too local by just keeping it to one continent?
North America is it just North America?
And then I do like that he reads two names and he's like and everyone else in the chat
Which there are millions of others, but of course, of course, there's millions of them
all right, the
music bed that you hear there is
so annoying
Because it never ends. It just loops forever and it's not interesting and it's way too loud and
Because it never ends it just loops forever and it's not interesting and it's way too loud And they even at a certain point in one of these episodes the guy looks for songs about paintball
Oh, yes, so Todd does some research
He's like are there any songs for they sing about paintball and he finds a couple
But he can't be bothered to turn off the music bed as he plays them for us and 209 people have heard this glorious tune
But I think everyone else should hear it tonight.
I'm going to try to play it and see if it comes through.
I wish I could tell you it gets better, but it basically just...
I wish I could tell you it gets better, but it basically just
let's be honest. This is the first paintball song I've ever heard. So it was simultaneously the best and the worst. Yes. I I'll give you that.
Good one. Um, it reminds me of,
we go to these music festivals and they set the stages too close together.
And you can stand in this area where you're hearing both bands at the same fucking time.
It's the most obnoxious thing possible.
Having the music bed still going, hey, let's listen to some tunes, shall we?
I actually, I got to tell you, I didn't mind it because it gives it the, whoever you said
described it as like morning zoo type radio yeah it was
a perfect description because that music bed gives it something it gives it life
to this otherwise like I'm just listening to guys talk very inside about
paintball but like the music bed made me feel like I was listening to something
which I think is a positive so they're fooling you with this is what you're saying.
Yes.
A little bit.
It tricked you to thinking you're actually watching a show.
Otherwise it would have been lame.
Well, well also if you play my clip nine, it actually sets up.
It's, it's their lead in to what you just played where these are the kind of
guys we're talking about paintball consumes their life.
It's like if you met Carl and you were like, Hey Carl, big fan of the show, and he was like, hey, did you see what Stuttering John did?
And it's like, okay, I'm not that big a fan.
You're so eager to talk about it.
You know what I'm saying? But I meet new people.
Did you see John yesterday? Holy shit.
I had a question the other day. I was thinking when I was out on a run my mind wanders
And I thought I wonder if there's any paintball songs that have paintball as a lyric like not just like something on Spotify or something real
Like not just a whatever and I found two. Is it all I wanted to do is play paintball
This man is just running around like yeah, I wonder if there are any songs
I wonder if there are any movies about paintball
I wonder if anyone's talking about paintball right now. I can get it. You look at all these houses
I'm running by you think someone's talking about paintball in there. Is there any paintball inspired art?
I can be putting up in my house. He loves paintball. He really does
So here's the other song that he found and again does not eliminate the the backing track
This one's a little more of a country so if you guys
are from more of a country listener
yeah I can't see myself driving down any back roads. If anybody picked up that gift for me for Christmas,
take it back. Yes, take it back now.
If someone bought you that song for Christmas, if people do that, if people buy you songs
for Christmas, maybe this guy. Yeah, on iTunes, man.
This is for your iPod, son. Here's an MP3, I gotcha. I'll leave that thumb drive
back when you're done with it, please
Okay. Thanks. So
The the music but I don't know if they can hear it. They might not have you have it on
Oh interesting there. Okay, because I find that so obnoxious when that happens and then right after that
Todd has a tech problem here, but don't worry. We got Zuby to the rescue here
Yeah, are you guys
feeling those songs or yeah I promise I will never play them again
yeah are you guys feeling those that was me I'm sorry I'm so lucky I can't hear
that you can't you're very lucky I like my paintball shows loopy.
Because it looped. Pretty good stuff. This corn bowl. These guys are fucking corn balls. I do like that they played like one second of the song and they're
like, you believe how bad that is? Yeah, I know. I was like, it sounds better than
your stupid loopy have playing in the background
What keeps looping with me is that 12 years? That's all I keep hearing when I'm watching this. They have sponsors, too
Yeah
So here's one of the segments they do this is 21 minutes into a recent episode
Maybe we'll get right into tonight's mail time. I guess
Yeah Good Maybe we'll get right into tonight's mail time I guess. Yeah. Sounds good.
We asked you guys today to send in your mail time questions or last night.
Gavin you got a bunch don't you?
I do. There's no bumper anymore.
New producer one sec.
Mail time. Mail time. Mail time. Mail time. Mail time.
It's mail time ladies and gentlemen, the time where I get to shine where I rip open my sack and read some of the correspondence that you folks have thoughtfully put together and sent in to me.
Seamless huh?
What kind of jingle was that? It's so jarring from the tempo of everything else that's going on.
Yeah, and the levels are all over the place.
So 21 minutes in they're like, you know what?
All right, let's get into it.
Let's do mail time.
This is getting into it.
Well, multiple episodes I listen to, they're like, hey,
you know what?
We're not going to get to the topic this week.
That's what they refer to.
They go, we're not going to get to the topic.
They have one topic, and sometimes they don't get to it.
Right.
For an hour.
They're just wasting time.
I wanted to say this at the beginning, but I always get sucked into the spirit of this show.
There's something about these guys I do like. They're the biggest corn balls on the planet.
But I don't think they ca- like, the fact that they get out of mic and go,
Hey, let's rip open my sack here, huh guys?
And they have no shame in how corny and cheesy and bad it is.
I kind of respect them for it. There's there's something there's a charm to them
I hear what you're saying, but also shouldn't there be more people beating them down. I
It's too positive it's it's funny you say that because every other every other time I've been on this show
I've been a good soldier and done my mission and obliterated the show We're talking this is the one time I've been on this show, I've been a good soldier and done my mission and obliterated the show.
This is the one time Carl asked me to blow up a school and I was like, are we the bad
guys?
These are just nice guys talking to 12 people minding their own business.
Well, you might be right because there is a child like excitement. They have
over paintball. I like paintball. I like turtles.
You guys have been doing a show about paintball every week for 12 years. You guys are like,
by the way, I'm going to tell you right now. I like paintball. No, no. Getting a little
misty over here. We know. They do every every week they just talk about how great they don't
always talk about paintball for the whole show. No. But every show they're just like, man,
paintball is fun. I love paintball. No, sometimes they they talk about charcuterie like I was
saying before. And here's an example of that. Josh Zubizabrikis was getting into the creative
festive mood this year. He senthmm. He sent me this.
Move over Gingerbread houses.
Charcuterie chalets are here.
Nice.
Did you get a need a building permit for a charcuterie house?
No.
I have a piece of paper from Ron Swanson that just says I'm going to do what I want.
Nice.
I think if any of the meats are salted you can do whatever you wish.
Yeah.
Pastrami is very high
The weight and crackers are not technically any sort of building material so you can use them. They get too soggy too quick
But they're good insulation
You guys are just gonna keep running with this anybody else have a comment
Oh, I got what got holy shit. What a drive that to the ground
They love and again based on their
Holy shit, I want to drive that to the ground. They love, and again, based on their emails or listener questions, whatever, they found
a small group of people that really fit with them because people love the charcuterie talk.
Their eight listeners are like, oh man, I love when you guys get into charcuterie.
And it's something they talk about a lot.
My clip eight is similar to that one where it's them just enjoying the charms and
simplicities of cured meats. You know, I have to tell you we were at a grocery store called
Wegmans in Buffalo a couple weeks ago and if you guys have a Wegmans near you,
go there and thank the manager for being there. They have all kinds of prepared meats and stuff like that and they had, how can I explain this, they had a take a piece of
prosciutto and a piece of cheese and roll it like a stogie and they put two
up in a individual package and then they package ten of those into a big package.
So you buy the big package, take it home, you open it up and you pull up the little
two-pack so anytime you feel like a quick shirt charcuterie hit you know, I love it's unzip it and it's like there you go
I would I would like that too. It's like it on fire and just smoke it dude
It's the greatest and I originally looked at I go I don't need ten or twelve
Prosciutto slices and cheese all at once like it's gonna go bad
But it's like no they're like snack packs says who that was great
No, they're like snack packs says who that was great
God needs to get out more of holy shit now I've heard is an exact thing at Wegmans before I don't precisely what he's talking about
I never thought to be like guys listen to what I just bought at the fucking girls return
Said this is the innocence that I loved about these guys. He literally says the phrase. How do I explain this?
So there's this way to prepare meats the curates all right let me explain how that process works. We got it we got it
Zuby was late on an episode recently, but he's got a good excuse why shit we didn't introduce Josh. I thought we did
And with us tonight we have Josh Zuby's a brickus. Yeah, it's about time
He was snacking on some charcuterie. Oh, yeah
Watch the show and rewind my friend you missed the shower kraut. I
Miss shower kraut shower kraut. Yes, actually I could bring it up for you. There we go. The shower crowd.
So they already are showing like these dumb things that they find on Facebook or people send them
and it has nothing to do with paintball or anything. But then the guys later, they're like,
Oh, we'll bring this back up again. So we could show Zuby this thing, bust his chops a little.
Yeah, pretty good stuff. But so then Gavin makes another comment about eating charcuterie
after that. Because the following Monday I'm away but it's also the day before Christmas Eve.
The eve of the eve. It is the eve of the eve so I think we're going to leave that one alone.
Yeah that just makes sense. Yeah as Bonsansheeck already pointed out, I will be on the couch with greasy fingers.
Prosciutto.
Maybe checking my nuts.
Yeah.
And when he sleeps, you know he's asleep because he's going to have two salami slices over
each eye like they do at the spa with cucumbers.
That's right.
And the spicy kind.
And then these are different episodes, by the way. This isn't all just one
charcuterie themed episode that we're talking about. Oh, no, it spans.
I listened to three or four and it runs the gamut. It seems to be like one
of their biggest passions. If they ever get, if they ever get too old to run
around and shoot paint at each other, they could do a show just about charcuterie.
Yeah, I just love
they're charming though because no one's ever
told them they're not funny so like
that's my job. These
these twelve people in the chat are like that's
great charcuterie talk. I love that you talked
about checking your nuts. That was really funny
and innovative. They live in this bubble
that's very, it's sweet. Alright
let's talk about checking your nuts because
apparently they're here to not just talk about paintball but save lives
And Jeff Thompson, do you just checked your nuts? Well done my friend?
I'm hoping that's post shower when everything's relaxed
But do it once a month all the fellas out there if you have some testicles do some in spectacles once a month after your shower
Well done, or if we need to switch gears here for a second because you always forget
What about checking them now?
If it's warm and relaxed in your at your home right now and you're watching this program well now wait wait till the programs
After because you know, I don't want that image
But yeah, check them. It's important. Yeah
So I went okay, they're giving a little public service
announcement is Movember so he's promoting this but no no no it just
keeps going. Dasty would you like to give instructions on how to reach down and
check your testicles for lumps? Can you use a sexy voice? I wonder if you
can YouTube it. You can, so you run your fingers around,
and I'll show you like this,
all the way around exploring your scrotum.
Your sacroiliac.
And you know, the more often you do it,
obviously you're gonna be familiar
with all the bumps and stuff.
As long as there's nothing new, hard,
or in pain or discomfort, you're good to go.
Yeah, yeah.
Wow, he really did just explain that.
First off, that's what I have Dr. Steve for so I'm not doing that shit the pores do that
kind of stuff imagine being like I'm not quite sure if I have testicular cancer
and I'll let me check the paintball show real quick they might have something
right yes I want to get into some testicle talk and share kuderi boards and
that they do talk about the one thing they don't like about paintball
That's a bonus
We don't know if they're gonna get to that or not
Well, so here's what was interesting for me is like like you said they get very simplistic where it's like
I like paintball it could be as basic as that, right? But then it goes there. There's no middle ground
It goes from that like hey, do you guys like paintball?
I like paintball.
To my clip number three, tell me if you understand
even a word that is said in this.
All right, next question comes to us from Tony McIntosh,
and Tony wants to know, and this collectively
can go around the horn, anybody who's been to a field,
have you ever seen an HBA incident
other than a burst disc?
In his 12 years, the worst he's ever seen is a remote line slowly ruptured and the o-ring come out of it, but nothing harmful
I know you guys have seen some experiments with you know tanks being intentionally ruptured
But in your experience if you see anything other than a
I wish I had a great story. I don't I don't remember anything
I don't think a story like this is great.
I remember, you know, we've had, I've been around verse discs when they explode
and stuff, but I've told this story before previously. Brad from Badlands
in the early days bought some used tanks from Wolf's Lair in Pennsylvania and we
we had a we had a few of them and we took the burst disc off
we took the rupture disc off and they had made homemade burst discs and
they had them stacked in there.
There's no way that they would have released under pressure.
They did that so they could overfill the tanks and give them out.
So that's like a ticking time bomb.
Wow.
Yeah.
What a storyteller that guy is.
He started that by saying, this isn't a very good story.
And then he, launches into it
Yeah, I have no idea any of those words meant no, it's crazy. So it goes from like hey
What's the best thing about paintball to like? How do you?
chunk of burst disc or whatever the fuck
And I thought we were gonna learn about strategy and they they claim that they do that sort of thing None of the stuff that I listen to were going to learn about strategy. And they, they claim that they do that sort of thing.
None of the stuff that I listen to, are they ever talk about strategy?
I don't even know what the rules are.
Is there like a capture the flag kind of thing?
I'm sure there's various ways you can play paintball.
Yeah, I assume they've gotten into it.
There's a weird thing with the episodes.
Uh, so I listened to, for example, episode, uh, podcast.
Well, how did they phrase it? It was like episode 675 podcast
555. Okay, I have no idea what they mean by that. That's interesting, because I think that they've
been doing a show since before podcasting. Because this is like, well, no, because think about it,
they were doing like a public access style
TV okay, all right that might and but they were doing it on Facebook
Right or wherever you did it back then and then they're like oh, I guess this I guess we should call this a podcast
Well since you brought that up. This is the first time they did a live show where they had
Video rolling and so it looks a little something like this
where they had video rolling and so it looks a little something like this hey guys and welcome to episode 116 at beautiful behind the bunker studios this
is the first night we are live through YouTube so hopefully it is looking
fantastic what if it doesn't look fantastic Todd that that what should we
do fantastic then it is
computer because YouTube does
Generate the video display what your settings are so if you want to see us even more crisp and clean go to the bottom
of your YouTube player and
Change the settings to a better resolution
Hopefully look amazing and if we don't then fix that Iran, it's your guys
I love it because hopefully we look amazing and if we don't then fix that you're on it's your guys
I like that What a weird thing to start off your show with instructions that I have to optimize the resolution
Never say anything like that before be a very different look back then
They did have a multi-camera shoe, but they're all sitting next to each other at the desk
Almost like they're in a studio or something.
Definitely in a different location.
Oh, they talked to this guy out here too,
he's just like a head of sales
for one of these paintball companies.
And the guy has no personality.
Oh, you think?
That's totally gonna have some mods for them in the future.
He looks like he's nervous
and he's just like giving a product pitch.
He's on trial.
All right, Mike, what else did you pick up on here?
Well, speaking of that, kind of, they talk about like, oh, play my clip four, because
they talk about some of the big names in paintballing, probably the guy they're interviewing there
or something, and they talk about it with such reverence.
And again, they charmed the pants off me
I like the innocence of these guys because listen to the names they're saying they sound made up
All right last question before I since up my sack if that's okay, Todd. Yeah, all right
This comes to us my good friend happy hold and he wants to know who is the best slash most
Noteworthy player that has shot you or or you have shot
Preferably while playing so
Let's get some celebs.
What celebrity have you shot or shot you?
I don't know. What about you guys?
I haven't.
Joe, do you?
I don't know. Did the hidden hedgehog maybe?
I don't know if he, I think we were on the same team or I don't know.
No, no, not intentionally.
Maybe Wolf and I have exchanged, um, about
exchanged shots on several occasions, although we've been on the same team, but we, we've
exchanged shots. Maybe even Greg Hastings you probably played against. Greg Hastings
played against Greg Hastings, maybe Slim Slam, Flim Flam. I don't know. Yeah.
There's no way! I'm Yeah Say Joe Kimson
The mental legend yeah, I guess that yeah
So we probably all shot each other. Yeah, and been shot by each other. Yes
they think they're celebrities I
like the
Gavin not fucking around each try. He's like Joeings or whatever the guy, and they're like, ooh, now that's a good one.
He's no Slim Slam Flim Flam.
Slim Slam Flim Flam. What part of that sounds made up to you, Mike?
It sounds like dodgeball.
Right. Yes.
That's the other thing I meant to point out is that they also think they're celebrities.
Yes. Like they're like, hey, we're like in the, which I guess is true,
cause it's as close to as I could find
of the ESPN of paintball.
I couldn't find anything better than this.
Yeah, good point.
I mean, I didn't look,
but I imagine there aren't a lot of competition for this.
Yeah, Joe Kimson was one of the names they brought up.
He's one of the hosts of the show.
So that's when they're like,
well, I mean guys, we've all played against each other.
So, of course I'm gonna brag of course. They gotta talk about that
I just have a clip. I want to play because
It's an example of the host Todd
Thinking he's funny
No one else does but he's pretty convinced that he is
Uh, and our friend is in the chat right now
So when is wolf crichlow coming out with a dedicated paintball workout app or or videos?
well What is Wolf Critchlow coming out with a dedicated paintball workout app or videos? Well, didn't he already but they he got copyright infringements because he wanted to call it jazzercise
Yeah, and Richard Simmons really took him to court on that one. Didn't he? Well, the lawsuits been dropped for some reason. I
Think the whole I think I think the loss
lawsuit just kind of went cold went cold
Yeah. All right. we're gonna move along
He's looking over to his buddy like we're laughing about this right these guys just like I
Almost grabbed the same clip, but then I was like is there something I'm missing cuz Richard Simmons doesn't own jazz or size does he?
Because later than they're like oh sweating to the oldies that's also a Richard Simmons thing so it's like right I don't get what they think he owns it
Yeah, they're big a few these wanted to make a Richard Simons is dead joke. Yeah, however, however you get there
I suppose some creative license apparently
I am like what else did you pick up on from these guys that you are in love with and now a patreon member?
What else did you pick up on from these guys that you are in love with and are now a Patreon member? They're sweet guys!
Well, Clips 13 and 14, you see how little there is in their lives and their listeners' lives outside of paintball.
Like, that's pretty much all it is for these fellas.
Look at you guys in the live chat. There's quite a few different things of PTJM enjoys aquariums.
Keith Kislin makes laughs.
Off-roading, hunting, snowshoeing. Good for you.
Neb Nella is a...
That's gotta be a Canada thing, right? You ever met someone who's into snowshoeing?
Yeah, buddy.
Fishing and hunting. And he didn't put a G on there. So I assume it's a certain type of hunting
Lisa Lisa Weber goes to like pickle pickle events pickle jamborees pickle jamborees
Jason diff sewing an amateur dentistry nice. I don't know what that is. I think it's a joke
Say Jason diff. Yeah related to Cardiff. I was wondering about that. I was like is it Corn Diff?
Is it? Which of the Diff family is he related to?
Canada's a wacky place. It really is. But that's like if you just said like hey
What do you guys like other than podcasts and your audience was like music TV, and you just read them?
They just said they have hobbies. What's the big fucking deal? And then clip 14,
Todd tries to get into this game. I think that's Todd. Yeah, it's like, here's some of the things
that I like. For for me, I'm going to say I enjoy right now I've taken back up running, and I'm not
enjoying it. But that's a hobby that's keeping me busy. I fly paramotors in the summer although not a lot this this year
because of what's been happening with the field. What else do I do? I one-wheel. I
enjoy going for long walks and that's not in my dating profile that's just
what I do. Oh so it's you, that was projection, you set up dating sites. Yes, but you using
my line. Still enjoy paintball, I also am a closet AV file guy. I like my AV so I dabble
with doing live streams for the OPL. I enjoy that part of it. I guess that's really about
it. Spend time with my family. In last place.
What are your hobbies? He goes, well, I jog and I walk and I paintball. It was one of
your hobbies outside of paintball and he still does paintball. The first two he listed, he's
like, yeah, but I haven't been doing too much. I don't really enjoy it
Well he also said one wheeling are you familiar with what one wheeling is
No, I blew by that. There's a lot of Canadians speak in this so I just chalked it up to that, but no I'm not sure I went to their website
behind the bunker calm and
It's odd. There's only two things in the navigation. There's the paintball podcast
and merch store. So I said, okay, let's see what kind of merch they have. When you click merch store,
you are brought to a whole other website called Ride 519. And Ride 519 is also not put together
very well. Because I can't see any of the products. Here we go. Clicked into shop.
And I guess these are the one wheels.
They used to call these like hover boards, I think.
They have the wheel in the middle of the board.
And depending on how you put your weight on it,
it'll take you places.
But it's really bizarre to me that on their website,
just says Merch, it doesn't say like ride five,
it just takes you to their website.
And it has nothing to do with paintball at all No paintball anything. It's all business
It's also interesting to me where he's like obviously you guys know what a one wheeling is and like all this paintball these paintballing
Terms is like obviously everyone will keep up with this and then he's like have you ever heard of me and cheese together?
Actually one of my hobbies. I was surprised you didn't bring that up. Eating from charcuterie boards.
Alright Mike, anything else you want to play from these shows?
I mean I guess that sums it up. Since it kind of relates to what we're talking about My clip number six there was a big trade
paintball world and this is exactly what I'm talking about where it's like
Very matter of fact about this really niche stuff
One of the biggest things that happened this week dust if you want to come over to my computer when you get a chance there
I Don't know if you caught this I think you'd have to be living under a rock if you want to come over to my computer when you get a chance there.
I don't know if you caught this, you'd have to be living under a rock if you didn't.
But essentially Edmonton Impact picks up Alex Goldman, Rainey Stanczak, Marcelo Margot and Tyler Harmon. So Tyler is from Heat, Marcelo Margot is from Dynasty. Where's Rainey from?
Marcel Margat is from Dynasty. Where's Rainey from?
He played for Damage.
He played for Damage for the last two seasons, I think.
I mean, I'm not heading into Iraq. I knew all this stuff, but I appreciate them reminding me. I don't even understand what they're talking about. Never mind who or...
I have no idea.
But apparently...
Because the teams don't make any sense to me. They don't have affiliations with any area
It's just like they got traded to damage and it's like from who?
That's the thing I didn't understand about this professional leagues I started looking into it
There's like a US League Canadian League and so I assume that these are hobbyists
These are guys who like to get together and like the softball leagues, you know, I'm just a play softball leaves
I like to get together you bunch of friends you play but they're trading players. It's like this guy lives in Calgary
He's gonna go to fucking Edmonton now
That's wild I didn't know that was going on with this shit family. I'll see you in the winter
Don't worry, I'll mail you all the profits I make from shooting painted people
Is this a paywall? It can't possibly pay well. Oh they get into that
There are people that make anywhere between 60 and like a hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year
Really? I don't know how I think you have to really be people to travel like different continents
They mentioned something big happening in Vegas. Maybe you guys can check that out at hackamania, but
Sounds good. I was gonna play the Flamethrower, but if we can watch guys play
This is one of those activities that just seems like it'd be a lot more fun to do than to watch
Yeah, I think maybe 30 people on the planet make
$60,000 a year plus and
There's you know what I mean like it's a very limited
Group that's making any money. I would imagine. I would imagine so yeah
All right, I think else we should play from here Mike. I think other clips. I think that's good, okay
I think I think you get the point
I think we do too even though these shows are long and it goes out of that
And I think we've done a pretty good job of and they won Mike over
These are sweet guys
Don't be there one view and bully them
All right speaking of bullying
Alright, speaking of bullying. Cringe of the week, cringe of the week.
Stepped on my own drop.
I think it's time for our cringe of the week.
And cringe of the week is a familiar face this week.
In fact, a couple of familiar faces that we're going to see.
I want to thank my buddy Troy Smith.
Troy Smith, the artist extraordinaire, has done all of our Detroit posters, which that
we sold out of, by the the way at the last live show.
And he recently did Topic Time.
He sure did, producer Chris.
How did you know?
That's what I wanted to talk about.
["Topic Time"]
Good afternoon everyone and welcome to Topic Time
with Harris and Young.
Good afternoon everyone and welcome to Topic Time with Harrison Young. Even he likes to let the music wash over.
Feel me.
Good afternoon everyone and welcome to Topic Time with Harrison Young.
I cannot believe it.
This is the next to last
topic time show of 2024. I miss this guy. We haven't checked in with him in a minute.
I can't believe it's the next to last. Right. I still got one more, but it still amazes me.
I can't believe it. How is that possible? Next to last. I have to play my version of this just to give myself some closure
Yeah, so the wired Christian in the chat saying we got to get Frenchie on Harrison Young we've gotten everyone else on this guy's show
We're gonna get Frenchie out there. That would be a. We'd learn a lot. Because as you know, Harrison Young asked the hard hitting questions and the way he gets into the interview is so seamless and so
smooth. It's almost like when Mike and I have banter on W A T S. Right. You think these guys
are friends? Yeah, it's, it's, it's wild how smooth he is. We have my brother, Evan Young,
the realtor. And I want to thank you guys very much. And now I'm mr. Troy Smith
How you doing today?
I'm good. Miss any of those what did I know? No, are you gonna be a wise guy? Good. Good. I like that
But I like you. I like your attentiveness to detail. That's really cool
And I noticed that I noticed you got a bunch of sweet picks behind you on the one that pink pinkish colored wall
You got there.
Is that those your own lights?
That's the white wall. It's just the lighting.
What's that?
I got some Christmas lights up. Can you hear me good?
Yeah, I can hear you okay.
Speak into the mic a little better.
Hello, hello, hello.
Okay. It's fine. We'll be alright.
I'm not exactly an audio guy.
Yeah, me either.
I got a nice microphone. I just don't know
how to use it. Okay. Well, it's okay. I just heard you. Yeah, just keep your mouth about
two inches from the mic and you should be fine. Right on. Okay. Well, tell me about
those pics behind you. Did you just, did you design them? This guy's a pro. Mike, have
you been on Harrison Young's show yet? No, which I could be in studio. He's in Massachusetts. I know.
He sounds like every guy you hear
when you're walking around your neighborhood.
Yes.
One of the things I find so charming about him.
Yeah.
The other thing I love about Harrison Young
is he always asks the same first question.
He's been pressing this for a long time,
so he's really nailed it.
But of course, like what I do with every guest is I like to profile them and find out what
the whole deal is. So tell me about yourself. Tell me where you grew up, what you did as
a kid and how it got you into where you're at now and then we'll roll forward from that.
By the way, that's your shirt too. You made that as well, right?
Yeah, I made that. That's Neil Brennan's brother.
You'll bring in the actor who played the king in The King and I?
Neil Brennan, same Brennan I thought you'll bring her okay that's an
old movie before you sign you'll breaders balls is a super chat you was a
kid growing up kid yeah growing up I always love that it's like all right just
give me your tiger life history back story
Sure
Distracted after asking those complicated question every gets distracted immediately whoa whoa whoa what's that thing right there?
The question is much longer than the response. It's amazing. It always says you just like yeah, I enjoyed drawing when I was younger
We did blow by something though he immediately immediately, he gets a little agitated
that Troy mocked his ad reads
or whatever the fuck he's doing.
And he goes, oh, you're gonna be a wise guy?
What, he got a pink wall?
I think that's him calling Troy a just do it,
if you know what I'm saying.
That pink wall behind him,
when he got some drawings or something.
I caught that.
I think it was innocuous, but I didn't notice that.
What, you're gonna show me wood paneling next, Troy?
That's pretty funny.
Well, Troy talks about how, know he's an artist obviously and the way that
Harrison pronounces this I just found to be so fun
Are you eating stuff? Well? How old we how old even you started doing doing drawings?
doing drawings I
Think he was gonna say coke
I just want to check something like how do you say that word? I say drawings, but I will defend Harrison and a lot of the mush mouth Bostonians that I've met will say it that way
I don't know why that is drawing drawings is a popular term up here for some reason
well, it's not too long into the show that I get brought up and
uh Harrison takes a shot at me here. Oh no. Yeah. I just I drew a lot of pictures and
I would uh post them on Reddit and stuff and um uh I would get some a bunch of likes from
you know a bunch of the fans and stuff and then all of a sudden I'm watching one day
and he's got one of my drawings
like printed on a poster behind him.
You're not paying for it?
Yeah, can you believe that?
I know! What a sleazeball! Just kidding!
He got into that just getting so quick that I couldn't even edit it out. Damn it! Good job Harrison!
What a sleazeball!
I just posted some of his art up on my wall. I don't even pay them for it
He's not right Harrison's on to something. I think yeah, I like that. It's the first place that his head went
I'm what you thought when she paid for that
Harrison know that we have his art over here to
Move it on so
This barking dog because a huge problem for Troy. Oh, no choice
I'm so to me is like you're welcome for your cringe of the week here Carl. I couldn't get my dog
So my picture was behind all these different podcasters and stuff even stuttering John himself
Had that background of the picture that I drew of him behind him
My dog is very rude. I apologize
Excuse me.
But Troy's polite. Sit on your lap. Can you sit on your lap?
He sounds like he's still big. Why would that be better?
That's some Rob Saul territory I don't want to step into.
But uh, good luck. Well played, Troy.
Harrison's like, why don't you bring him closer to the mic?
I gotta give Harrison credit
Eventually Troy gets up and grabs his dog the dog quiet right down just sits at his lap
So it actually did work. All right, but it's a huge distraction
The conversation never really gets into any type of flow and at one point Troy says something that I guess he had already said earlier
And Harrison snaps at him
So, yeah the one day I looked up and he was, he had my picture on the, on the thing.
And then he already said that, but how long ago was that about?
Three years ago or something like that. Okay.
It's like you're boring everyone.
Harrison basically just yelled yawn.
Quit boring everyone. Harrison basically just yelled, yawn.
I have one more clip, because I find this just to be funny.
As I'm watching the show, all of a sudden,
Harrison starts interviewing Troy about me for some reason.
You know, I interviewed Kyle almost two years ago.
I remember I had him on the show, my very first show
in 2023, January 4th
Now he's a musician too, right? Didn't he play the guitar? Yeah, very talented. Very talented. Yeah. Okay. Does he do it? I didn't even mean I don't think we even covered it
But does he does he make a living that or make it paid anything for doing those gig those gigs with his guitar?
No, he him and his buddies just love
WATP thing that's wonderful. Yeah, they they put a lot of well
I'm talking about the isotopes as band
They do they do a lot of free shows. They just do it for the love of the music. So
That's why you can't afford your art
Not making bank on that stuff, I just love the hair's like how much money does Carl make playing guitar like I would Troy know
What kind of question is that? He seems very into the money aspect of a lot of that is true How much money does Carl make playing guitar? I would Troy know
He seems very into the money aspect of a lot of that is true because I don't think he's making much money over at the public access
Station that it's probably why he's asking is like and they hire it over there the isotopes
Way Harrison talks, so it sounds like he's not listening. You're right, but he immediately knew that Troy had already said that. Like you said, he's right. It's weird. It's hard
to tell what we got it, what he's comprehending and what he's not
comprehending. Um, Oh, I have a quick fun thing that I wanted to play for
you. So yesterday I was on point dabble point with Shulie and the gang. Oh,
we actually had a nasty Neil on the show. Big get nasty deal is on Cardiff
and I debuted this. I meant to play this on WTP
and I totally forgot.
This doesn't work, I wanted it to work,
I tried to make it work.
["It's Been a Hard Day's Night"]
I just feel like that chord is so iconic now.
It could start a song.
Well, Jimmy K sent this into me.
I think he's onto something here.
This is the right move.
["The Right Move"]
Yes! Yeah, that works. I love it. That's funny. Very well done. I appreciated that. Mike, I want to talk to you about a mutual acquaintance of ours. Please, please, please guys,
Streamlabs, PayPal, Superchats, Rumble Rants, Venmo.
Maybe, you know what?
Maybe we don't deserve it.
I've been laughing with the other guys
from this little piggy in our text thread
because Aaron does this every month or two where he figures out he has this epiphany is like
Guys, we don't need to have a goal anymore
So I was on with to key this morning
I hopped on with him for a bit and
He was he was showing me the new mathematics. Okay that Aaron has worked out. So I'm not sure if that's what you have.
I think that's what this is.
This is crazy.
I always think that Aaron's relatively intelligent.
And then he does shit like this.
You're like, oh, this guy's an idiot.
Holy crap, I don't know.
That's what I was saying to Tukey is that
the interesting thing about Aaron is that he presents normal.
Yes.
Like he presents as a regular guy.
So you can't always get a perfect read on him.
That's, he threw a curveball past me. I'll tell you that. Yeah. So this is his latest
scheme to get rid of that pesky goal that bogs down his program. If that makes sense.
So look, we've got a great show today. And this is from my lost interest.
And he calls this I have a dream.
Aaron, here's here's I have a dream much like Martin Luther King Jr.
I am well way different dream.
But you don't say I do have a dream.
So we had an amazingly weak last week.
The birthday show was ridiculous ridiculous I appreciate it so
much you guys knocked out went went above and beyond anything I could hope
for these reactions are becoming my favorite part of the show between the
goal the begging and Johnny just look at the camera like the fuck you don't think
you don't think guys paying enough respect to Aaron's birthday
and then there was another show where you guys went ape shit also uh the Thursday show you guys
went fucking mental and then we had a great rumble friday you guys went above and beyond so I just started counting shit for Monday
Because you guys were so whoa god damn generous
I remember that what happened was he had extra hundred dollars on the Thursday show and he goes guys
We knocked out this goal. I'm gonna put the extra hundred dollars towards a Monday's goal because I'm not money
I'm gonna put it towards I'm gonna put it right back into the program put towards Monday's goal
And then on Friday came on he goes remember we got $75 already paid towards Monday school. I went wait a second
Please enough with the money
That goes into steel-toed purchases someone has the company card
So that's what he's referring to here
Today, I think we're at like 200.
So it's really small.
The goal is really small today.
The goal.
And so one thing I'm going to ask of you,
I hate doing tech support on the air.
I'm really sorry to do this.
I apologize.
You need to bump yourself up.
Yeah.
Because we need to hear him. No yourself up yeah I'm sorry I just
don't care about this I just wasn't projecting because I'm yawning also the
balls of air to say doesn't like to do tech support on the air what all this
guy's ever doing is resizing windows and trying to figure out how to bring people
in and where to put them on the screen.
I think that was him scolding Johnny.
He's saying, I don't like to have to reprimand Johnny
on the air.
Right.
Look.
I know your feet don't work so good
because your hands fucking turn on the volume, please.
You're a quadriplegic, not a paraplegic.
Other way around.
Other way around.
Yeah, that's Aaron for you. He has to have the preamble. He can't just say, hey, can you bump, not a paraplegic. Other way around. Other way around. Yeah, that's Aaron for you.
He has to have the preamble.
He can't just say, hey, can you bump yourself up a little?
Right. That would be the end of it.
Of course.
We are what, 210, so it's 210 for today.
We have 210 away from today.
And then we have this $100 club.
I'm not doing donor ratings again this week
because it's like, it's the end of the year
And also because I want to see this thing load up
By the end of the week. Yeah, we have an opportunity
I like the way he says I see people give me lots of money
I want to see people give me like large amounts of money like a bunch of different people all give me a large amount
I want to see that like this week.
I want to see this thing light up. It wasn't like Bart Simpson's chalkboard.
To do to go into 2025 and never have another goal again on this show. Wow.
All we have to do is keep paying it forward. So like normally it's a 350 goal, right today. It's 200 tonight. It's 200
Mash them together boom. That's 400. So it's a little above and beyond normal, but we'll give you the one hour
Obviously, I'll go till 11. Okay, but then also if every show just keeps doing that without me even asking, we stay ahead.
And never again in the history of Steel Toed,
the only thing people complain about,
the only thing I complain about with this show,
is gone forever.
Wow.
This is amazing.
He's finally cracked the code here.
He's finally figured it out.
That all he has to do is get paid way more money
by people all the time
And then he won't bitch about not having enough money
On the show so easy this is guys we could have been part of the solution
We could have been giving him money for tomorrow's goal and we would have eradicated the goal by now
It's very easy
Is he trying to punish us though by getting rid of that dude. He knows that's the best part of the show
That's what I thought he goes. It's the only part people complain about is begging
Oh, no, it's the only part that we praise you for yeah
Actually, he does know it significantly quells us though. Like I if he gets rid of the goal
I probably stopped talking about him completely. Oh, yeah
I'm sure Patrick Melton will keep talking about him But I love less to talk about you know, so it does get rid of a lot of that
I just like that his program it's always been an educational program
But will you ever get off math and move to like spelling or social studies?
Spends a lot of time on math. It's always math. Okay, so
He's figured this all out and I this is what I mean when I say I don't know if he's stupid or just thinks everyone else is stupid
This is the most moronic thing and you would think Johnny Crutchers be like well
Yeah, Aaron of course if you fucking had more money than you needed you wouldn't have to beg for money so much
Homeless guy knows that
Jesus Christ $100,000 in the bank bank I wouldn't be out of this quarter asking every car that drives by for spare change in a cigarette and
Guys based on current numbers. I need about two point eight million dollars to retire comfortably, right?
So if you just pay me that today, I won't have to work any more days the rest of my life
Yeah, and now you don't have to worry about it, too
I'm thinking the burden off of you here, but I was gonna say like Stut Joe
They're so full of shit all the time
Not everyone that they're talking to can keep up with them and say it now that doesn't make sense, right?
So they take silence as like it is a form of gaslighting. Yes
Oh, you didn't argue with me about my bath. So yeah, right. I don't know guys. Is this too confusing for you?
It's almost zoom Ackie him. Mm-hmm
The way he's talking about this cuz I Chad has done videos in the past
He's just like guys Tim Dillon is making a million dollars on his patreon. I have a patreon too. It's the same word
Why do I have a million dollars?
Just like look as Tim Dillon's talented people like him and he's funny and stuff
That's why I just let me do with the platform that they're on
You know how I say like this is all in your hands. I
Always say I go begging is not up to me asking for money is not up to me
I don't have any control over that that is great Wow that is gaslighting
Stop hitting yourself.
This is what I mean.
We have a few people for the end of the year join the $100 club for the week.
Join Gray Duckling and Ryobi in the $100 club.
Wait, I'm not in that club.
A lot of leg room in that $100 club.
I want to get into that club.
With great duck legs in there?
I'm embarrassed that my name's not even on that board right now.
And it's so exclusive.
They allow only so many members.
The $100 club.
At least they used to in the past, they'd have like raffles or drawings or something.
So people could win shit.
Now it's just pretending that you're a part of something.
Right.
Are there places in the airport?
And I'm part of the $100 club.
Right, I was gonna say,
are there places in the airport I can go
and get a free drink or something like that?
I get to the front of the line at Disney World.
What is this?
The marker board isn't good enough for you.
Everything's taken care of for good.
We're done. It's over.
The next show does it. The next show does it. The next show does it. Okay. I've just
seen the flaw in his logic here. I've just realized what the issue is here. He's saying
no more goals in 20, 25, but what if he does a show where people don't pay for the next
show in that show? And then all of a sudden he's got to bring the goals back. It could happen very quickly, I guess is my point. That's
because if he's only looking to get one day ahead, I don't know if that's going to last
forever.
No, no. Here's the thing. You get one day ahead. So give me double what you were going
to give me today. Right. Then you're one day ahead. So then tomorrow when everyone donates
$350, what we need for the goal, then we're still one day ahead. In then tomorrow when everyone donates $350 what we need for
the goal, then we're still one day ahead. In fact, if they give a little extra,
maybe we'll wind up two days ahead. But I miss this thing snowballs to the end
of the year. The problem is, so let's say I usually get, I watched Aaron show.
I love it. I usually give him 20 bucks every, you know, every episode. And he
goes, guys, let's pay for today's and tomorrow's. I go, here's 40 bucks.
And then the next day he goes,
hey guys, I need money for tomorrow's show.
I'm like, I already gave you money.
Then you give him 80.
What are you getting?
No, I'm tapped out at that point.
I don't get where you've lost.
This is the homeless South Park episode.
Really?
Do not give 20 bucks.
Do not do it.
It's over for abs for absolute ever
It's done. So it's up to you guys. Thank you very much. I mean it'd be funny if it was a bit
This would be a good bit, but he's being serious the guys I figured it out just pay me for tomorrow. We're good
Aaron has been saying for however long, you know with just ten cents a day you can save a child in Africa and today
he's saying if you give 20 cents you've cured AIDS and you're like wait oh all
right I guess I'll give 20 cents that straight Sam show Sam show. Sam show goes, that's the only thing people complain about. Yes. Yep. That's it.
And when the goal comes back, it's also our fault. Oh, yeah,
we're definitely gonna get yelled at for that. I just have a
friend, the goal will be back the first show at 2025 is my
guess.
I would like to see us get rid of the goal and you know, if everyone stops talking about him
What does Aaron's show become if people aren't making fun of the goal?
It's the you know couple hundred people that liked him on radio talking politics
Yeah, he goes to that website not the bee comm and he reads whatever news stories are right-leaning that he finds interesting
That's what I was saying to Tukey this morning is I think,
and Aaron has tricked me before into thinking he's smarter than he is,
but I do think on some level,
Aaron knows he needs the goal because it's what people make fun of.
So that's what keeps him relevant. So I think on some level he does know that.
He does,
but he also definitely thinks that he's bigger than all these shows and better than all these shows that clown him for it.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I, there's a part of him that is humiliated by the fact that he has to go on and beg people for money like Dark Side Phil every single episode.
I mean, you could tell he hates it. He loses sleep over it, it stresses him him out his body language shows. He's uncomfortable doing it. I
Was gonna say what gives you that idea when at the end of his show? He's like, oh, I guess we fucking suck today
He might be a little embarrassed hugging himself and going oh, we just need 80 bucks
I thought I put on a good show, but I guess I guess I did it. I guess you guys hate it
Like I want if I just held my breath. Is that what you guys want me to do? Just hold my breath forever?
I guess I'm just a gay cum eater to you guys.
Speaking of gay cum eaters...
Yeah, yeah. Stuttering John has been on fire these past few days because we're winding down to the
end of the Stuttering John podcast.
He just has one more episode today.
Yep.
And that's definitely it.
And that's it.
We'll never see john again.
He'll be completely done unless someone offers him $3,000. Come on the show after the fact.
$5,000 to go to hack a mania. Yeah. Or 300 or 30 or six pack. Yeah. Right. So john has been talking
a lot about even though he's leaving the dabble verse, he is still going to get people arrested. He's still looking at lawsuits. He yeah, now he's he's got a couple guys
that he is going to take down. And one of those of course is Shuli and John has now
decided that Shuli is cyber bullying him and that he needs to get law enforcement involved
in this. So John gets a super chat on his show.
Now I'm taking a picture of this if this is actually the shitware
because now this is a threat of cyber harassment and bullying.
Okay, producer Chris, I want you to read the name of the channel,
YouTube channel that posted this super chat here
We win you lose good day chump. Okay, so
Shulie's channel is called the Shulie network
Is this really surely
Obviously not he's not even trying to pretend it's Julie
But John because he uses the Shulie logo. Yeah, it's like I think I know who this is
John because he uses the Shulie logo. Yeah, it's like I think I know who this is
Classic Shulie and he's gonna take a screenshot of this as evidence of
cyber-harassment and bullying
When you return in a few weeks the trolling and trashing will increase times ten. We brutal see you soon. Can't wait
Yeah, okay. I just took a picture of that. I don't know if this is you I believe there's a way for me to find down I just don't know how to do it
Could you imagine and I can imagine he shows up to the police station
With like printouts of these things. Yeah, and look at right here. He said it's gonna get ten times worse when I come back
That's harassment. That's a threat
They're just rolling their eyes at him. How often how often do you think he's actually gone to the police or higher like I know what
else he called the FBI right but like how often is he actually versus him just
being like I'm gonna go to the police I think he actually does call the police
quite a bit yeah I know he's filed the FBI report three times on Kate Maney actually does call the police here. But if it is you, then I will have proof that this is cyber harassment and threats.
And I will take that to the Cape Coral police.
I just want to point out, this is the guy who threatens people nonstop. He's constantly
flexing his muscles and talking about coming to your house and he goes to people's houses
for real. And he's like, this $10 super chat is proof that I'm being harassed.
He's going to walk into the police department and say,
Let me talk to the cyber division.
Cyber sergeant.
That's what I was going to ask.
How big roughly, Carl, is Cape Coral?
It's not a big place.
Is there police force capable of handling something?
No. Like a national scandal like this? Is is there police force capable of handling something?
National scandal like this not have jurisdiction over the Internet. No
As soon as John says there's a sky in Alabama. They go. Okay. Well, I'll see ya
Does he ever come to Florida no, he does he's just an un spell all right, bye bye
And well and we'll handle it accordingly.
So let me see if I can get that.
So how do I... let's see.
Let me find this. Okay. Let me see
Go to channel
No, it's not the real shit where so there we go
Wow
He was shaking his boots for a while there
What did he snopes it? Where did he find that information? I mean you can click into the person who commented and go to their YouTube channel
Yeah, I would have a hard time with that one like sure what you're asking us
But not only is he going to the Cape Coral police to have Shulie arrested for cyber bullying, but also I just want to
point this out. I don't know if bullying is illegal. I assume it's not pretty sure. Bullying
is not an illegal activity. I think Obama made it illegal. But if it is, let's let's
I'm ignorant of the law if bullying is
Something that's illegal to do and you're under arrest
I would be so embarrassed to press charges
I'm telling the cops you're bullying me
grand bullying Well you just bully him back Grand bullying
Well, you just bully him back
Go punch him at the customer punch him at the nose. What do you want from us?
This man just reached 600 counts of bullying
All right, so
Not only is he going to kick or police to make sure the shoe is behind bars
But he's also dreaming up a new lawsuit against VTM. Here, here Dwarfie. Thank you, Jeff. To be honest, you're right about the DWI video. Many people still believe it's real. Fight back, John. You're right.
What's funny about this is the guy who's super chatting on this information, Jeffrey Durian, is the guy that John was claiming stole his phone,
who was hanging out with him and Kate media and I, and now they're buddies.
Yet another arch nemesis turned best friend.
Right. It happens all the time.
So the thing that John's talking about here is when he was leaving
the tonight show anniversary party there, somebody videotaped his Mercedes leaving the Tonight Show anniversary party,
somebody videotaped his Mercedes leaving the parking lot
and driving down the street,
and Vince does some video editing techniques.
I don't know if you guys have seen this before,
but he made it seem like John was going down
the wrong side of the road,
and people were like honking their horns at him,
and whatever it was.
And so he was trying to say that John was driving drunk and I think there was more
to it than that. And so because of this, John claims a lot of people do believe it's real.
That's harming my character. Harming my character. So wait, John, this is a character.
Fuck. I thought he was, I thought he was being
realized. This is a character that he's doing. He's stuttering John character. Does it hurt his case
that I only know it exists because of John? Well, I didn't know it existed before John started telling
me it existed. Right. No one watches VTMs program, but also does it hurt his case that he was
definitely seen drinking beers all night and then getting into his car and driving
It's like I can't believe he's saying that I was driving drunk like I can it's kind of
The only conclusion you could come to and even I don't I don't know I I know the law about as well as John
But if Vince said he was drunk driving, then you'd have to prove John has never drunk drove, which seems impossible
That's my character. I drive drunk.
But no, John's going to file against Vince.
Painkiller. At some point, I'm gonna file a fucking harassment suit against you.
Painkiller. You're bullying me. You're bullying someone who can't fight back because I don't have the funds.
I don't have fucking $5 million in the bank, you fucking prick.
I only have $4 million.
This is how pissed I am at you for putting me through mental trauma.
For attempting to ruin my fucking life.
Now it's funny about this, of course, is that Vince was the guest on his show twice last week.
Just last week.
He's been a guest on the show and now John is going to sue
him into oblivion for harassment and bullying and John says
you're trying to ruin my life, which is the exact thing John tried to do to Vince that started all of this.
John is the line in baseball where he's like 13 or 14 more times and I'm out of here guys.
Yeah I know. That's it. This whole thing where it's like this time I mean it. No you don't. No one's taking you seriously.
Nobody cares. Oh man but how embarrassed we'll feel in a week
when John doesn't do his show.
Won't that be crazy?
I don't know who came up with bullying for him,
but he's gonna get surely arrested for bullying
and he's gonna sue Vince for bullying.
Good.
Is that how that works?
I'm not sure.
I clean up the streets, John.
I like it.
He goes to the FBI's website
and he's looking through the checklist to mark down his concern his concern. He's like did I bully out here anywhere?
Drug smuggling human trafficking terrorism, there's no bullying I got here what the fuck
What's his clear liquid? He's drinking out of a glass. Oh god is he mad at Vince cuz he didn't get a delivery
He is drinking water out of a glass Gandhi Oh god. Is he mad at Vince because he didn't get a delivery? He's drinking water
out of a glass. He's like Gandhi. It's so gross because the glass is clear obviously
and so is the water and it actually magnifies his mouth. So when he goes back, I don't have
it in this clip, when he goes back you see his entire inside of his mouth. So gross.
Alright, let's have some fun with the chat shall we? 50 bucks right now for six beers see his entire inside of his mouth. So gross. All right. Let's
have some fun with the chat. Shall we? 15 bucks right now
for six beers in one hour. Now, I don't want to ruin my day.
I could easily do it though. I could do eight beers in one
hour. That's that's simple. No one told me there was going to
be posting. I could do eight beers in one hour. That's
simple. I love the use of the word simple. I
Can't see the screen. I sound like stuttering jump. Are you guys playing a freshman in college?
60 year old man
John is simple. Yeah, I could drink eight beers in an hour. That's simple
Yeah, here has made you sit right you lift it up put it in your mouth and you gulp it down it's very simple correct watch I think
he means easy but also like John as we've seen John would be shit-faced when
he slurred he's like yeah I only drink seven beers which actually means that I
drank five because as you know one dissipates over but he's like slurring
he's all fucked up so like, you can get him down the hatch, but it's not a great result.
Right. Yeah. You don't have good tolerance, as we've pointed out many times.
In fact, last night after John flew back to Cape Coral, he came online.
I have some clips coming up, but it's over three hours.
And there's a lot to get into because John gets wasted and Clay comes on
and Clay's drinking and it is a debacle. Thank you, John gets wasted and Clay comes on and Clay's drinking
and it is a debacle.
Thank you, John.
The gift that keeps on giving.
When we need it most, that's what John provides.
I think he also made bank last night too.
I think everyone was watching and super chatting him.
Did he set a record?
I think he said.
Oh, that's awesome.
So maybe that will encourage him to not go away because as FK mommy mommy asks right here, should she
cancel? I mean, there's people who are signed up for his
YouTube, his Patreon. Oh, right. Says he's leaving. FK
Mammy, my lady, should I cancel the membership for? Uh well,
I I wouldn't cancel it yet because these are gonna go behind the paywall.
So I-
Well, she's watching right now.
I'm waiting till the first, I guess, or the second.
Or maybe wait and see what happens.
Yeah.
About three or four months.
Maybe three or four months I'll come back with a different kind of show.
Who knows?
I don't know.
I just know I want out.
The show last night, he's playing a country song someone made for him.
Something I heard then. Yeah. And he's all proud of it for some reason.
And he's like, should I play it again? And he pulls it up because I might get a copyright strike
and I can get my channel demonetized. He's like, do I want a chance?
And he goes, no, I better not like John you're leaving tomorrow
What do you care?
It's an AI John
Yeah, he has no clue what what's going on in the world obviously but also this whole thing is like well
Don't cancel your membership. You never know something might happen. He's like
I'm not buying it for some reason
I thought he was at least gonna commit to it for like a week or two
But that tells me he's gonna be back by Friday. I know it's not I
Said it. I might have said it on this program
I said it yesterday and point double point the best thing you could do is
Create a new character named stammer and Stan or something and just come back with a mustache and a wig
And just be like hey, I'm stammer Stan. And I'm taking over John's YouTube channel
and fuck you shit. Where, you know, he could commit to that for more than 30 seconds though.
I know, but it would be great. I would appreciate it. All right. So after he watches a video
of Shuli saying that as he goes on, Shuli's anonymous and he just starts clicking on things.
So Shuli says, John better not come to my house
or else I'll try out this new toy I got for Christmas.
Implying that he got some type of firearm.
And this is John's response to that.
What happened to the big tough guy?
Remember the big tough guy come to my house,
he's gonna beat my ass and all that.
Now he's resorting to weaponry.
He's resorting to- Now he's re, what happened? He's resorting to weaponry. He's resorting to. Now he's re what happened?
He's resorting to weaponry. That's right.
Does he have a military background? How does he know these words so well?
Very impressive. Oh, big tough guy. He's just going to shoot me in the face now.
All right. This next one's an oopsie clip because John just clicking things on
Shulie's anonymous and sometimes there are things that he does not want on his show.
What's your name?
That's when he's
Your name is
Oh man
He's watching where on Uncle Rico the hidden recording of John hitting on those two girls
Oh my god, now you see why he never gets laid. Can you imagine?
Oh yeah, look who's talking. Silent Mike. I don't know. That's from that. That's from
Sal's place. Oh, silent Mike. You're so pathetic. It's fucking scary.
Oops. Take that down. Yeah. You're the one who stinks at getting girls jerk.
All right. No one's going gonna ask any questions about that.
Moving on.
Now the big news that's happening is Hitman Dan is MIA.
Oh yes.
This is very scary.
What's going on, in fact, at a certain point during the show,
Johnny gets a phone call and he mutes himself
and then darkens the screen and then comes back on the show. We find out why
We have a little emergency going on here. I don't know what's going on. I'll tell you we can't find hitman then
Nobody
Starting to get worried. This is getting a little scary
That was one of my friends who's also fucking worried. I mean we're all worried now
Not Jimmy's job. God. I hope nothing's happened white people will if you haven't know
Jm, I know I don't notice this though
John's very concerned about his good good buddy from back when they were 10 years old. They've maintained this friendship
It's very important to John this hitman Dan guy. So worried. He won't even read racist comments in full right this is not the time or the place I can't hear there
enough grieving it bad dad we don't know what happened but let's see how
concerned he really is but I am worried about him and you should be too he's a
good man I should be and I'm really getting nervous we were just talking
about going to his house
The only problem is you know, I can't break in
And I don't want to call the cops
See you mates call I'm getting fucking really worried
Sonny Melendez mom that left in my visit not from fall.
Yeah.
Fucking hell.
Oh where, oh where is my friend Hitman Dan?
Oh where, oh where can he be?
I'm really getting nervous.
Even when he's concerted he can't stop entertaining us.
I know.
When I get nervous I sing.
I really think someday the nation will be singing that song as we hold a vigil for Hitman Dan.
He's really concerned about his friend Hitman Dan.
Not enough to go to his house.
Cause what am I gonna do? Ring the doorbell? Yeah.
Well this came up, was this from like yesterday or something?
The day before, yeah.
Cause yesterday he was up. Yeah before Christmas
He was like I haven't seen him and then we're all worried about him
Yeah, and then someone said why don't you call his wife?
Cuz we've all met his wife during that
Yeah, and and John goes
Yeah, it's not a good idea. I never thought of that. Maybe I'll do that, but you didn't think of that
Yeah, how can you certain could he possibly be? Well now he comes up with a solution to figure out what's going on with Dan
Maybe I can call Jerry he was a cop
I'm gonna call jigs tell him to call Jerry have somebody
Because this is getting a little fucking scary so let me just I
Want as many middlemen as possible?
You you knew let me call jigs to call Jerry to check on hitman Dan
Because he was a cop first off. It doesn't change anything. No being a cop doesn't mean you get to ring the doorbell harder
So I don't know what that to do with anything, but I'm the lamb
Also John's laziness knows no bounds
The idea that even when he was having his get-together at sales place
His other friend was in charge of letting hitman Dan know when and where they were getting together. Correct.
He couldn't shoot a text? What is going on with Hitman Dan? What is happening here?
Well, you may remember that John was in charge of Facebook.
Right, that's right. I'll post it on Facebook.
Yeah.
I'm wondering, hear me out, is it possible that Dan finally discovered the Devilverse and went,
this guy's a piece of shit. I don't want to be this guy's friend anymore.
I speculate no, based on my little knowledge of Hitman Dan.
Yeah, I think he's kind of he seems like kind of also a piece of shit.
Yeah, no, he's right or die. You're right about that.
Yeah. OK, so the next day after this, he's in an airport.
He does a show from the airport for a while.
Not a lot of video, just kinda talking to his phone.
For some reason, he has a three hour layover
traveling from New York City to Fort Myers.
Sure.
Now, I travel to Fort Myers quite a bit.
A lot of times through New York City,
because I can't go direct from Rochester,
but New York has direct flights to everywhere.
And if you wanna go to a city, New York's a great place to start from because there's a direct flight to it
I like to check in there. They have flights most places not Florida though. I've heard the New York to Florida line is very
Obscure. I talked about this on point down point and Cardiff looked up. He's like yeah, there's three more flights today
After the hymns in the afternoon
It's like they're flying there all the fucking time.
And John, because he probably has to find
the cheapest possible flight, gets some flight
that routes him through Raleigh or something,
and has a three hour layover to get to Fort Myers.
Who doesn't have nine hours to kill?
That's what I mean, it's ridiculous.
You're gonna spend a lot more money
in the airport sitting around
than you would just get the better flat anyway
So then after that he gets home and he starts his his second show
Oh, and he's wearing his tonight show shirt in the airport because he wants to get recognized so badly
It's so embarrassing how badly he wants to get recognized and have people talk to him
He's a lonely guy and we're gonna find that out. in just a moment, but first is how he starts off his show
when he gets back home.
Duke is back, Pah-doo, on my second show today.
I did one earlier, and now I'm back from the airport.
It's been, geez, that flight lasted a long time.
It seemed like a fucking hour in a day. I know I'm a little know I'm a little disheveled
But fuck it. I was gonna shower. I said fuck it. I don't give a shit nice
Yeah, this is the laziness I'm talking about when I get home from traveling I want to shower it's gross
Being in airports and airplanes John. Don't listen to him. Don't doll yourself up for us
Be on top of people for all that time. You're like, oh, I can't wait to get home and get in the shower And John is so lazy. He's like I am fucking gross. I'm sweaty, but I don't like showering. Let's see those super chats
Crazy I do have to go back to something though if John wanted people to recognize him wouldn't you wear a Howard Stern show shirt?
Yes, but here's the fuck would be is that John Melendez from the Tonight Show?
Here's the problem Howard Stern famously never let anyone make a Howard Stern shirt damn right because otherwise he would wear
He would he'd be where they could see he wears a stuttering John podcast shirt
He wears anything else that will get people to recognize him, right?
But okay, so this is what I'm talking about when I talk about John's loneliness
Because he's bragging about Kate Meany's rubbing it in Chad Zumach's face and then a delivery guy shows up and
I've enhanced the audio for us to enjoy and dissect
And I get the the audio for us to enjoy and dissect.
And I get the ladies way more than you.
That's a fact.
Jack, oh baby fatso, what happened when you met
the beautiful, talented young woman known as Kate Manuel?
Oh, did she go with Louis T. Gomez instead of you?
Yeah. Again, I've warned John about this before. Did she go with Louis J. Gomez instead of you?
Yeah. Again, I've warned John about this before.
I would stop giving away details
of Louis J. Gomez's love life
that he doesn't want out there.
Correct, yeah.
I don't know, like, John's threatened some people before.
I feel like the rattlesnake's not
somebody he wants to deal with.
And he's lucky because Big J wants to talk about this shit.
Right.
So John's lucky that Lou is just like,
I don't give a shit about the Dabbleverse,
I don't wanna talk about that,
but if John drags him into it, it's not gonna be good.
Louis J. Gomez, great guy, a guy would not want
disliking me or coming after me.
No, absolutely not.
That would be very bad.
Not the Duke. We were, ooh. disliking me or not that would be very bad not to do we were oh my beer so it gets out maybe the most genuine moment he's ever had on his face lit up just
now he heard his doorbell
Oh, okay. I got my wallet.
Come on, let's start looking at his body.
He has to come back into the room. He was just in his wallet.
All right. Check out this back and forth. Tell me any time.
No, no. Oh,
classic mix up. Yeah. He starts speaking Spanish to him immediately.
And he goes, where are you from, Cuba?
No, Ireland.
The amount of Cubans I deal with at a O'Flaherty's in Boston.
What's up?
Uh, CSE.
I got a lot of Irish friends.
Yeah.
Yeah.
How many have you been?
Three times.
Nice.
Dublin?
Dublin.
Belfast?
Belfast.
What was the second one you said?
So this is hilarious.
John's making small talk with this guy because he just needs a friend.
But he goes, are you from Cuba?
He goes, I'm Irish.
He goes, oh, have you been to Ireland? I figured he was like from Ireland. He goes, oh, have you been to, I figured he was from Ireland.
He goes, yeah, I've been there a few times.
He's like, it's just an American.
It's just an American delivering his beer to him.
There's a white Irish American that John's like,
you must be from Cuba.
If his mom tries to ask him something,
mom, I'm doing a show!
But he's belaboring this delivery. Oh, okay
We're only a minute 19 and do a four minute clip and I've said before
John superpowers is incapable of being embarrassed
Yeah, but he is incapable of anticipating anything that he needs you know that you need your fucking ID. Yeah, I get
Booze delivered. I've got it on me
Yeah, and it's a one minute transaction.
There was that one time when he lost his wallet, and so he told the delivery person they had to bring it back to the store.
Yes.
It's incredible. It's like it's somewhere in your house.
I know John's like putting on an act for us, he's doing his best to entertain all of us during this exchange,
but this guy must be thinking like what a fucking degener degenerate, what a loud mouth drunk this guy is.
Oh yeah, and he stinks too.
You're gonna hear John crack a beer
while the guy's still standing there.
Of course, he can't wait to get into this thing.
Quark.
Quark.
Quark.
Quark, yeah, have you touched?
One, so?
Kissed it.
Twice.
Kissed it twice, I love it, love it.
Oh yeah. You gotta turn it in the end, will you? Yeah, all right, I should definitely believe I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it.
I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. I love it. He's literally showing off his tattoo right now and explaining. See this is the Viking.
And then here's the American flag. There's a Viking named my kid's birthday. What's your birthday?
It's called 10465. He goes, are my kids birthday? It's great. What's your birthday? Cause I need to get this delivery done.
I really thought he was going to invite this guy in and then in like six weeks would be like,
all right, who's more annoying Rob, Saul or Irish Tim?
10-6. 10-4, good buddy. 10-4. 65. Oh, your hat says Irish.
Are you a Notre Dame fan?
John had so many clues.
His hat said Irish, he's white.
He's not Cuban, I guess.
He's not Irish.
He's not Irish.
He's not Irish.
He's not Irish.
He's not Irish.
He's not Irish.
He's not Irish.
He's not Irish.
He's not Irish.
He's not Irish.
He's not Irish.
He's not Irish.
He's not Irish.
He's not Irish.
He's not Irish. He's not Irish. He's not Irish. He's not Irish. He's not Irish. Are you a Notre Dame fan? John had so many clues. His hat's an Irish, he's white.
He's not Cuban, I guess. And then he goes, are you a Notre Dame fan? Because apparently if you're
Irish, you have to be, right? You have to be a Notre Dame fan. Who's your football team?
I'm from Boston originally, so. Boston? So you gotta go with BC.
Boston College.
Oh, how about the Patriots?
Yeah, definitely.
Well my Giants took you down twice for Sioux Falls.
Oh, I haven't heard about it.
This fucking asshole. This is him at a sports bar too.
Yeah, right.
Oh, who's your team? Oh, the Patriots. My Giants!
Oh, you're referring to 13 and 17 years ago respect
right yes
I'm Bruce
I did the high-speed and I watched Boston Collins play
I do a stand-up over at the
Holy shit
Both are incorrect
No no no, Boston was a comedy actually
There we go
Do you know the expiration of the license?
I love this guy, he's just trying to keep it business.
Right.
I did stand up, he wants so bad for this guy to be like,
oh, you do stand up?
My God.
He wants so bad to be like,
yeah, I used to be on the Howard Stern Show.
This poor guy.
This guy probably has more deliveries to make.
You're right, yes.
So Tim, how was your day?
More lonely assholes? Yeah
This is a guy who craves another human being to be in the room with them any sort of connection any connection with anyone? Yeah, I think so. It took it.
There you go, pal.
All right, brother.
Have a great time.
You sure you can't stay?
Let's go get it.
Have a great time is very funny when you're looking at a man alone drinking.
What's your name, by the way?
I said him.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure.
I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Sure you can't stay
He goes my name is Johnny cuz I know I just looked at your fucking license remember I had to type it in to little thing here. As in stuttering? Yes.
I'm gonna have a sausage. Hey!
Fucking hell.
What a maroon. Yes. Now the other thing I want to point out, so he just got this
beer and he comes back in the room with his case of beer but he's also drinking
a Red Bull.
But why would anyone need a Red Bull at this time at night? It's like 8 o'clock at night.
Kept jacked up. He's getting jacked up for his show. Yeah, he's gonna put out
a big one for us because well not until he figures out how to get these beers
to be a little colder.
All right, this is a visual thing, but you see how we struggling just to even
lift a beer out of the case right here.
Yeah, this is the guy who's going to beat everyone up.
Just remind everyone.
Spears a lukewarm.
You got your phone.
Look, I'm stuck in things in the freezer.
Hey, where you going in things in the freezer. Hey, what you know?
Always entertaining. So he pulls the beer out and he says they're warm, but he leaves two in front of them anyway, two of the warm beers, and then he brings the rest into the kitchen.
Who would deliver warm beer? Has anyone ever needed beer so badly that they need it delivered?
But it's okay if it's not cold yet, that's fine.
Doesn't even make sense.
That is funny that he left two behind.
I take it back, he did anticipate his needs that one time.
Yes, he did, he knew exactly what he was gonna need.
All right, so now, have you seen any of this, Mike?
Yes, I have.
Okay, yeah, it sounded like you're familiar with this.
He starts reading this note that was forwarded to him,
and it was a note that was forwarded by Chad Zumach. And there's some TM Zumach going on. John's
getting some hot goss about Kevin Brennan. Yes. Yeah. Because MLC is sniping him at this
time. And John says, ah, here's my opportunity to really stick it to Kevin Brennan. This
is from a source and this is from Chad Zimak. Hey Chad,
this is what you forwarded to Pinky. You watching Chad Lee?
You fucking watching? Skull.
Hey Pinky, this is what your buddy Chad sent over to Pat Dixon.
I just want you to know, just in case, I know he's sitting there, his fat fucking ass, which
I hear is about to get kicked, and he's sitting there with you.
But here's what, this is what it says, Pinky.
Let's see.
Are you ready, Pinky?
I hope you are
Cuz this is really really embarrassing for you. Very fucking embarrassing
I'd be embarrassed
To have this kind of shit come in my way like three or four days ago He was reading this note and skipped all the information. He's about to read
He's like I don't want to get the family stuff protect the innocent right and then a couple days later. He's like fuck this I
Have heard from multiple sources that the reason Kevin Brennan isn't doing spots at the Comedy Cellar
Now, of course we cannot I'm gonna just this is alleged everything. Oh
So Kevin can't sue you for cyberbullying because you said it's a large okay good. Yes. He's touching home base
Isn't doing spots at the commissar because it's because he got suspended last year
For things he said on the podcast and now Etsy who I know very well
Her name is Esti
I know very well Etsy who I know very well and have ordered from many times
Tysomatic true
Who I know very well won't give him spots because he's anti-semitic true
So he's anti-semitic. True. So, also another thing I know about, and I can't tell you how
is that the reason Kevin and his wife were separated around his time, he first started
his podcast because he caught her having an affair. Whoa! Whoa! Is this true? I don't
know, John. Well, it was email. Chad sent it. Guest coordinator
for the More Stories podcast with J. Moore. Hmm. I wonder. Wow. Did Chad say this?
Why do we keep saying that? Was he saying that Chad is the coordinator of the More Stories
podcast? Or Chad got it from that person?
Yeah. So this is like an email thread It's been bounced around a few different people and I guess it went to more stories, but
John's trying to care about this. Well
Maybe maybe there's a Kevin Brennan interest in that world. Okay, but
John's trying to
Implicate Chad for spreading this rumor or pushing this information out there to try to get Kevin and Chad fighting, which probably isn't hard to do. And I think this information about Kevin's wife having an affair. This has been going around forever, right?
I feel like I've heard John say it before.
Good. I'm like, John's acts like he's breaking this news that no one's ever heard before. I think that this has been something that everyone has talked about
In the past and I like the the part where he's like, oh John or Kevin's wife had an affair
Whatever the part where he's like comedy clubs have canceled Kevin because he's difficult to work with right?
Yeah, what a bombshell
None of us knew that and also Kevin doesn't give a fuck. He doesn't want to stand up anymore Wow
amazing None of us knew that and also Kevin doesn't give a fuck. He doesn't want to stand up anymore. Wow Amazing
Or did he forward it? I'm not sure
You should be able to see what anyway
So, um, this is some more breaking news that john is breaking on his show to get back at mean old kevin brenta
Now we switch to warm beer. That is why it was with another guy.
He moved out. Whoa! He only moved back in because he wasn't making any money and
was spending all of his savings. I don't know if Laurentine knows about this but
I know for a fact Lenny does. I know who Lenny is. Lenny Marcus. Right, yeah.
You can do whatever you want with this information. I just figured you should just know as
for Kevin's current finances. I do not know that during I do
know that during the pandemic his mom was paying his rent.
Whoa, his mom was paying his rent. Alright, big if true.
I'll give you the the Patrick mountain line that that is that
would be very interesting if that is the case.
Isn't this the fucking freak that was saying my mom,
my mom bought me a house?
What the fuck?
We all say that, John,
because your mom's name is on the deed.
That's why we all say that your mom bought the house.
It's in her name.
The Lenny Marcus thing would imply to me
that this email is very old. Yes. Kevin hasn name. The Lenny Marcus thing would imply to me that this email is very
old. Yes. Kevin hasn't worked with Lenny Marcus in seven years. Has it been that long? Six maybe?
Yeah, probably hasn't been that long. But yeah, it is definitely, this is old news for sure. And
this is going back to probably three times ago when Chad and Kevin were fighting, that Chad is
spreading this information around.
So yeah, John's breaking this,
what he thinks is this breaking news
that kind of everyone's talked about already.
I didn't know about the, I'm paying rent thing.
I don't know where that came from.
Maybe John's adding that because he's embarrassed
that that's what's going on.
I don't know.
What I do know is that blindmike.net
is a great place to visit on the internet because it gives you links to all the things that my buddy Mike Geary is up to.
Oh, thank you. Yes, we may be live today, whenever people are here, Wednesday.

Great show good job everybody great job everyone great job everyone. Let's see what the voicemailers are saying to us
So just finished listening to the Rob Saul episode decided to look up Kevin Mania Wikipedia. His
Wikipedia page has already been updated to indicate that he has
one daughter named Kate, who is currently in relationship with
john Melendez formerly at the Stuttery john television
show, formerly of the Howard Stern show. It's awesome.
Anyways, go fuck yourself. It's fun.
It's fun to fuck with wiki pedia. Um,
Christine Nolten made an appearance on WTP recently because of our friend Christian Blatt. Yes. Bringing that on your stupid birthday.
Christine Nolten was brought in again. Normally I'd take this opportunity to go
vote for Vinny on the creep off despite you.
But it was Christian Blatt's fault and I'm willing to let it go.
But you got to tell me how to get them back for this. I'm pissed at them.
Super chat about who are these broadcasts and double menu are. That's, that's the way to get back at them. Christine. Don't really as terrible.
All right. Gary and San Diego check it in.
Well on John's podcast on the 28th Saturday, he reiterated that yes, he's leaving the
devil verse on the 31st.
And then there was a big but.
The but was he would make appearances on three stipulations.
One he needs $5,000 appearance fee.
Number two, he needs a plane trip, preferably first class.
Number three, he needs a hotel room, a four or five star hotel room, of course.
And he needs per diem food, probably 150 a day to feed that kid. So
Carl, if you're interested in having a double con three, he'll
do it for 5000. You got to put him up in a four or five star
hotels downtown, which is only the gold nugget and the Circa,
you will not stay at the El Cortez and 75.
I think you're thinking of Hackamania to hack a mini
deck. I still don't have that mind trail.
Hackamania.com promo code WTP.
Tepper's offer tickets for their May 9 through 11th. And I do
believe that john did offer to come to Hackamania for $5,000.
So I think that's what he's referring to. But maybe we'll
have get john at both DabbleCon 3 and Hackamania 2. I
got ten thousand bucks burning the hole in my pocket why not?
Get him a Circa. He will not stay at the El Cortez, the 75 year old's hotel or the
Fremont, an 80 year old's hotel. And he needs per diem. So come up with that kind
of scratch and he'll show up. I think after three or four months
of not no appearance fees, he might settle for 100 bucks. Yeah. What do you think? Carl
is going to come up with that kind of money that appeared to Apple com three new in my
honest opinion. Don't do it. Rock and roll.
Rock and roll. Gary. Yes, I'm with you on that. Seems like a huge rip off to do that. All right. This is an Australian calling in. I don't understand what's going on here.
Hey, Carla. like hard manju or whatever because in Australia we had hard solo, solo is like a lemon soft
drink and they made an alcoholic version of it but it was just called hard solo and it
looked almost exactly the same except the black I can and they had to rename it because
kids kept drinking it now it's called like hard rated and it's the most retarded name change but
it's still pretty delicious.
I mean it's not beer but you know.
Smoochers for your sweet sweet Chris.
I love you, you beautiful hunk of man and Lucy Tidebox can go jam a copy of Goonies up like coochie.
She sure can.
Amen.
So this is what he's talking about hard solo. What do they
have to rename it to?
Flats hard rated.
Hard to read it. All right. Well, thanks. I learned
something new about Australia. I think I don't need to learn anything else about Australia now. The great sea moose checking in. Hey
Well, hi, hoi great team is here a boner guy
I haven't called in a while because I was sick and sounded like the child of scorch and crozier
So I decided to save everyone from that. What about my balls being a weird shape? Hey, uh, Lucy if you're there
Can you can you back me up on this?
They are very normal shaped. I don't care if you have to lie, please just help me out here.
Under the table.
All right. So she's out there and that's not working. Hey, producer Chris,
will you please back me up on this one? Sure. Nice balls.
Thanks, Chris. Anyway, I don't, but bonus Guy, I don't think you're even going to the
creepoff.com and voting for Carl. I think you are going to the creepoff.com voting for Vinny.
What say you, Mr. Bona Guy, if that is your real name? Call me back. All right, thank you,
The Great Seaboose. Wow, not even rehearsed. Well done. Thank you. Well played.
