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
Starting point is 00:02:57 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,
Starting point is 00:03:20 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.
Starting point is 00:03:41 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.
Starting point is 00:04:10 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.
Starting point is 00:04:45 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
Starting point is 00:05:19 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.
Starting point is 00:05:45 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.
Starting point is 00:06:11 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
Starting point is 00:06:48 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
Starting point is 00:07:28 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.
Starting point is 00:07:58 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.
Starting point is 00:08:19 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
Starting point is 00:08:50 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
Starting point is 00:09:20 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...
Starting point is 00:10:03 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
Starting point is 00:10:42 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.
Starting point is 00:11:08 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.
Starting point is 00:11:34 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?
Starting point is 00:12:13 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.
Starting point is 00:13:00 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
Starting point is 00:13:31 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
Starting point is 00:14:23 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.
Starting point is 00:14:54 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,
Starting point is 00:15:12 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.
Starting point is 00:15:23 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
Starting point is 00:16:01 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
Starting point is 00:16:40 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.
Starting point is 00:17:10 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
Starting point is 00:17:33 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.
Starting point is 00:18:01 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
Starting point is 00:18:47 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?
Starting point is 00:19:30 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,
Starting point is 00:20:14 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.
Starting point is 00:20:55 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
Starting point is 00:21:20 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
Starting point is 00:21:38 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
Starting point is 00:22:06 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
Starting point is 00:22:40 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,
Starting point is 00:22:59 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
Starting point is 00:23:26 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.
Starting point is 00:23:53 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
Starting point is 00:24:19 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.
Starting point is 00:25:05 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
Starting point is 00:25:26 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.
Starting point is 00:25:55 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
Starting point is 00:26:30 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
Starting point is 00:27:08 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
Starting point is 00:27:44 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.
Starting point is 00:28:00 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
Starting point is 00:28:25 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?
Starting point is 00:28:55 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
Starting point is 00:29:17 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.
Starting point is 00:29:50 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.
Starting point is 00:30:11 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
Starting point is 00:30:27 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
Starting point is 00:30:59 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
Starting point is 00:31:39 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...
Starting point is 00:32:15 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
Starting point is 00:32:55 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
Starting point is 00:33:46 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
Starting point is 00:34:38 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.
Starting point is 00:35:12 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?
Starting point is 00:35:47 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.
Starting point is 00:36:37 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
Starting point is 00:37:06 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
Starting point is 00:37:46 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
Starting point is 00:38:31 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
Starting point is 00:39:00 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
Starting point is 00:39:23 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.
Starting point is 00:39:51 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
Starting point is 00:40:42 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
Starting point is 00:41:19 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.
Starting point is 00:41:36 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
Starting point is 00:42:00 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.
Starting point is 00:42:18 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?
Starting point is 00:42:44 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
Starting point is 00:43:26 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.
Starting point is 00:43:38 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
Starting point is 00:44:03 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
Starting point is 00:44:45 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
Starting point is 00:45:11 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
Starting point is 00:45:44 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
Starting point is 00:46:09 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.
Starting point is 00:46:42 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
Starting point is 00:47:13 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
Starting point is 00:47:51 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
Starting point is 00:48:27 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.
Starting point is 00:48:46 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
Starting point is 00:49:42 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.
Starting point is 00:50:12 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.
Starting point is 00:50:25 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.
Starting point is 00:51:02 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
Starting point is 00:51:49 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.
Starting point is 00:52:26 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.
Starting point is 00:52:42 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
Starting point is 00:53:12 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.
Starting point is 00:53:24 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.
Starting point is 00:53:42 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.
Starting point is 00:54:19 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.
Starting point is 00:54:56 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
Starting point is 00:55:14 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
Starting point is 00:55:48 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
Starting point is 00:56:30 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?
Starting point is 00:57:06 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
Starting point is 00:57:35 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.
Starting point is 00:58:07 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.
Starting point is 00:58:28 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?
Starting point is 00:58:39 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
Starting point is 00:59:13 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
Starting point is 00:59:42 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.
Starting point is 00:59:57 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
Starting point is 01:00:30 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?
Starting point is 01:01:10 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,
Starting point is 01:01:41 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?
Starting point is 01:02:27 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.
Starting point is 01:03:04 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
Starting point is 01:03:54 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
Starting point is 01:04:24 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
Starting point is 01:05:02 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.
Starting point is 01:06:07 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?
Starting point is 01:06:29 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
Starting point is 01:07:14 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
Starting point is 01:08:01 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
Starting point is 01:08:38 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
Starting point is 01:09:22 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,
Starting point is 01:09:39 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
Starting point is 01:10:20 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.
Starting point is 01:11:09 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
Starting point is 01:11:42 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
Starting point is 01:12:13 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?
Starting point is 01:12:32 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
Starting point is 01:13:08 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
Starting point is 01:13:41 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.
Starting point is 01:14:18 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.
Starting point is 01:14:37 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.
Starting point is 01:15:07 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?
Starting point is 01:15:22 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?
Starting point is 01:15:49 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
Starting point is 01:16:15 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.
Starting point is 01:16:51 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?
Starting point is 01:17:15 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
Starting point is 01:17:41 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.
Starting point is 01:18:13 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
Starting point is 01:18:44 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
Starting point is 01:19:25 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?
Starting point is 01:19:58 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.
Starting point is 01:20:17 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
Starting point is 01:20:43 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
Starting point is 01:21:31 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,
Starting point is 01:22:02 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
Starting point is 01:22:32 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
Starting point is 01:22:57 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?
Starting point is 01:23:20 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
Starting point is 01:23:47 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
Starting point is 01:24:33 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
Starting point is 01:25:20 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?
Starting point is 01:25:46 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.
Starting point is 01:26:01 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.
Starting point is 01:26:22 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.
Starting point is 01:26:59 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.
Starting point is 01:27:26 Yeah. Yeah. How many have you been? Three times. Nice. Dublin? Dublin. Belfast?
Starting point is 01:27:34 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.
Starting point is 01:27:48 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
Starting point is 01:28:10 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,
Starting point is 01:28:40 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.
Starting point is 01:28:58 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.

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?

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.
Starting point is 01:30:49 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
Starting point is 01:31:10 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.
Starting point is 01:31:31 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.
Starting point is 01:31:41 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?
Starting point is 01:32:09 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.
Starting point is 01:32:23 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.
Starting point is 01:33:08 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.
Starting point is 01:33:36 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.
Starting point is 01:34:06 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
Starting point is 01:34:31 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.
Starting point is 01:35:16 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
Starting point is 01:35:47 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
Starting point is 01:36:41 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?
Starting point is 01:37:21 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
Starting point is 01:38:12 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.
Starting point is 01:38:46 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
Starting point is 01:39:24 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.
Starting point is 01:39:41 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
Starting point is 01:40:09 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.

It might be that so we find out what's wrong with these pockets We love reporting Of morning radio 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.
Starting point is 01:42:22 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.
Starting point is 01:43:02 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.
Starting point is 01:43:39 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.
Starting point is 01:44:12 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
Starting point is 01:44:47 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
Starting point is 01:45:47 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?
Starting point is 01:46:15 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.

Starting point is 01:46:50 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.
