Who Are These Podcasts? - Ep62 - Wow in the World

Episode Date: June 18, 2017

WATP is back with a new episode that doesn't sound like complete garbage. We listened to a brand new NPR show that is targeted to... toddlers? grown-ups? nobody? It's hard to say who would want to listen to this clusterfuck of a podcast. One thing is quite obvious, this show is not targeting our guest host Crosier who finds the podcast has a grand total of zero redeeming qualities. Wow in the World is a bad concept that's further hindered by poor execution. We also read a new itunes review; spoiler alert - it's not good.  Learn more about your ad choices.

It's show time. Just a handful that don't suck That's where we come in Our caseroves like all over the Mandarin Crucifix W-A-T-P W-A-T-P W-A-T-P Who are these partners? W-A-T-P? Who likes these partners, not W-A-G-P?

Who likes these partners, that would be on me? Who are these partners, W-A-T-P W-A-T-P Plus, K-W-A-T-P Hello and welcome to another episode of Who Are These Podcasts. We listen to podcasts so that you don't have to. I'm your host, Carl Whizby, today is Crozier. Hey, H. First time long time. Pleasure to be here. I'd like to remind our listeners that you can visit us on WhoAreThese.com, our Facebook page, What's up, I'm Chris. And I'm Chris. And I'm Chris. And I'm Chris. And I'm Chris.

And I'm Chris. And I'm Chris. And I'm Chris. And I'm Chris. And I'm Chris. And I'm Chris. And I'm Chris. And I'm Chris.

And I'm Chris. And I'm Chris. And I'm Chris. And I'm Chris. And I'm Chris. And I'm Chris. And I'm Chris. And I'm Chris.

And I'm Chris. And I'm Chris. And I'm Chris. And I'm Chris. And I'm Chris. And I'm Chris. So, let's get into it. First off, I want to say happy did not pull out day to you, Kroosh. Absolutely. You know, we don't normally talk about our personal lives on the show. With good reason. But it is Father's Day. That it is. And you did pick this show. That's true, I did. And you're uniquely qualified to be the co-host on this one because it is for kids and you have two young boys. It's true and actually I'll begin this with a quote from my nine-year-old when I described

this podcast to him he said what the hell is wrong with them? Okay good. So I cause I don't understand kids in general or at all and so when I'm listening to this I'm going is there really an audience for this show? You know I spent a lot of time with that myself because, and look at it into this, but there's a point in every podcast career, you gotta decide if you're Wheel of Fortune or if you're Japanese. You know what I'm saying? Like you gotta talk to an idiot or a genius,

but you can't talk to both. And this podcast was like the goofiest shit ever, like Barney the Purple Dinosaur found parts of this podcast lame. And then we're gonna get into some AP physics and we're gonna describe some calculus equations too you know what I mean that's a really good point why don't we get into a place some clips so people know what we're talking about I typically like to play the the cut this sums

of show up for you first but I'm gonna let you take it all right so my introduction to this was through the trailer which I found incredibly obnoxious I'm a podcast fan as you know. Yes. I look through those top charts and I'm like, oh, what is this new podcast? And I click on it and nine times out of 10, it's some three-minute teaser trailer thing. And it makes no goddamn sense. It's just 30 seconds of spliced conversation with no context around it. I don't know who this is for. I don't know how these get on the top 10 charts. But anyway, so here's a little clip not from the episode we

listened to but from the trailer. This one is called the Show Summary. Imagine for a moment that you lived in the United States in the late Jurassic Period, so about 116 million years ago. Okay, I'm imagining it. Now I'm running, I'm screaming my brains out. Now I'm wondering where I can find some ice cream. Maybe some friends to hang out with to help me run

from these dinosaurs. All right, so my first question is what the fuck? What is that? What am I listening to here? Like, not only does this not make any sense on 15 different levels, but what was the point of any of this? And then of course, if you want to listen to the entire episode of that.

And then because it's the trailer, it goes to another 30 second clip of complete out of context, fucking bullshit. And I still don't know what I'm listening to. So, there's a lot of nonsense going on. I think that's what you're getting at. Yes. It's a lot of sound effects.

It's a lot of just random garbage. I have some things that I want to play. Now, we had teased an episode about your shoelaces and G-Force or some nonsense like that. Is that the show you clip front? It is. Okay, I haven't listened to any of your clips. Okay. I decided to listen to a different episode.

Fantastic. They're like 20 minutes long. Yeah. With the hell, you know, I figured I didn't want any overlap. So, I listened to this other episode and it starts off, I think, with a callback to the G4 episode this is very confusing. Is that a claw machine?

Sure is. I engineered it myself. Who is that hanging upside down from? Is that your grandma? Yeah, you remember grandma G4? Oh boy. Oh, baby. No, baby, I'm talking about

Could there be any more confusing sweet mother of God here's the thing I was Grav a G-Force is that a thing from your show? I listened to the thing that we're talking about I barely know what the fuck is going on here So all right, I hate that they have the character actors like I just somebody call my name. This is my old grab Oh, it's indeed all right, so so They're like, I just stopped when they call my name. This is my old grandma, Laurence. It's so funny. All right, so by the way, I just want to say that Janice visibly upset about this. Like you're pissed off about this.

This is my whole week, I like. I swear to God, I have no idea how you do this every week. I mean, this is not easy. This was the same. So, all right, this show attempted to include humor. And let's play some of that humor now. This is where we get introduced to Graham on GeForce. This is number seven, Wrestling Joe.

Okay. Yeah, it's a concept called GeForce. That's my grandma's wrestling name. Go ahead, give me your best shot. I need dancers for breakfast. And a swimmer. Yeah, different GeForce. So can you explain? I need dancers for breakfast! I'm a real mom! Yeah, different chief force. So can you explain?

Alright. Now who is this joke for? I mean, first of all, okay, that's a great question. There's a bunch of things in here where I'm saying, is this for the kids or the adults? Because neither ones can enjoy this. Now, as you heard the beginning of the clip,

we're gonna explain centrifugal force to toddlers. So that's a good fucking time right there. And then we're going to make some crazy 30-second long skit about grandma G-Force because it's not confusing enough that we're talking about advanced concepts of physics. Shit, I could barely describe, you know what I mean? I actually have an example of this too where they're trying to be, they tell you, you kids, you should listen to this with your grownups, which is so obnoxious. Which is the word grownups, but that's a whole other thing.

So it's trying to be for both adults and children, like a Pixar movie. A Pixar movie, the Lego movie or something like that, I don't know if that's Pixar. I can get into it, the kids can get into it. It's all good. Little fun for everyone. These things do exist. This show does not achieve that. Absolutely. Listen to this clip and just tell me who would have fun with us.

If we just stop to appreciate the sounds of silence and nature, we'll start to value it more. And that's a good thing all around. Hello darkness my wife. No no no no. No, Kairoz. Kairoz you woke up the bear. There was a silly bear. He was angry.

He's creeping up on you. Kairoz. It's not the kind of sounds of silence I was talking about. Kairoz. Kairoz. You're right. This is not the kind of sounds of silence I was talking about. I'm not. Okay, Ryan. I'm just going to play the video. I'm going to play it in my...

No! No! No! No! No! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

So, here's my thing with this. Who would know who Simon and Garfong go with? Obviously not the kids. And not even the parents? Yes, I know that's the thing. We're talking about parents who are born in the 80s or in the maybe late 70s at this point It's as far back as you're gonna go. So the Garfun would broken up for 10 years at this point. What are we talking about here? Yeah, the you know go ahead and play number six This is a joke about leisure suits which I think really is suited for children. Crow, do I like this rapid fire approach? I think this is, uh, let's just keep ahead of them.

Uh, maybe, why- why are you dressed in tinfoil? Because I decided that if I'm about to drink the water of the future, I might as well dress the part. Well, I'm- I'm pretty sure that the people in the future will not be dressed in tinfoil, but- Okay, fine, I'll take off this tin foil, leisure suit, so that I work really, really hard on this. Ah!

Wedding my brains out over here. Ah, I should look future. All right, so not only does this go on and on and on and on, but please don't expect me to explain the context of why this woman is wearing tin foil, I have no fucking clue. Um, I'm not gonna look forward to foil. I have no fucking clue. Um I'm not gonna go for it. I think it's because of the come trails that are flying overhead. They're they're turning frog children Oh, children show those kids. It's true. Exactly

But anyway, so I'm not gonna the door 40 my fucking parents don't even know what a leader suit is You know what I'm saying like we're we're referencing that's a good point. Not only like air is long gone But like long long gone I've heard that term before but I couldn't describe what it is I remember it as a joke from like the 80s because there was a game leisure suit Larry I still couldn't explain to you what it is Anyway, I don't even know why that phrase jumped out at me, but I'm listening to it. I'm just like what are we even fucking doing here? Again NPR our text dollars hard at work for us.

So in that bit that you just had us less than two, indeed. There was one of the worst gimmicks that are in these types of programs and it's all prescripted. It's overly produced. I hate the fact that it's all scripted out and these guys have to act it out

because it's so douche chile. Like the whole show is one giant douche ch chill. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But the whole record scratch thing. Yeah, yeah, this is a cliche where it's like, what? Like everything just turns on its, so here's an example of that from my episode. I was deep in my reading when I came across this exact article. Hold the phone, Iroz. A minute ago you said that this was a journal of some kind. So one of my favorite clips that makes fun of that whole record scratch element, it's a lot of movie trailers,

is a giga to play the South Park Rob Schneider episode. Rob Schneider was an animal. Then he was a woman. And now Rob Schneider is a stapler. And he's about to be in a stapler. Is harder than it looks. Rob Schneider is the stapler. We did PG-13. Oh my god. Weak. First of all, I know it's supposed to be a joke, but I think that's on Netflix next. Yeah

I didn't see it. It's a straight enough flex, but it actually has three and a half stars So I'm looking forward to it. That is good to know Yeah, so there's a lot of this production and we haven't even talked about the host yet. Oh, we're gonna get there guy Ross and Mindy Thomas Are the two hosts guy Ross. That's two names. It's two names. All right. Oh, okay? She never calls him guy. it's always GuyRaz. First and last name. GuyRaz. Every single time.

Every time. What is that? I don't know. So, because. I wouldn't have known that his name was GuyRaz. Had I not looked up on their website who these people are. The way she always says it, it sounds like a single first name. It sounds like a first name.

It's the first name. Exactly. And like, what the fuck is called GuyRaz? Seriously, yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't pull any clips from it although I thought about it, but it was so manning. It's just the guy's full goddamn name every single time. Every time. And they, and he, she uses his name so often, there's only two people on the show. We know what you're talking to. Exactly. Except for grandma G for some. Indeed. Andie. Indie. Indie. Indie.

Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie.

Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie.

Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Indie. Entie. Indie. Indie. Entie. Indie. Indie.另外. Indie. Indie. Clips on here that I'm interested to hear because it looks like you picked up on Mindy's voice You say about our our close Mindy it or what? All right, Mindy and I went on quite a journey together. I I really tried to get in deep into the psyche of my new friend Mindy Okay, um go ahead and play number two. These are just random clips of her speaking just I'm working forward to it I'm ready for take off guy Ross got my moon boots on and I'm packing my bag. Well, you mean one just...

So, what is that? She's doing like a cartoon voice, she's trying to be... Well, that's the thing she's... She's like a living cartoon and the whole sound effects thing. And like, you know, so the first thing I'm hearing is, and maybe it's because I listen to Dr. Drew too many years, but is there, do we have some childhood trauma? Was there issues in childhood? Is there something that's bringing,

where's your uncle- I'm gonna talk to you, show me on the dial. Is there something that's bringing her back to this level, you know what I mean? And then I start thinking, well, it's like the female sour shoes. Yeah, and maybe it's, maybe I'm way off course here, but, you know, some people just you know genetically or mentally

They just never get there and their childlike in nature there. They have an innocent nature about them I'm sure we know people like that in our lives, but sure So I spend the 20 minutes of this podcast just tweaking out over this woman's voice Mm-hmm, and then at the very end and this is just a random clip But play number four. This is her real voice okay hey grown-ups thanks for listening to wow in the world with your kids this week when you got some alone time be sure to check out so it's still she has a high pitch voice you know what I mean it's not a good broadcasting voice well I mean far beat for me to keep some voice for voice or vocabulary

all right so this reminds me I have a new review that I have to read from our iTunes page. I can't wait. It's pointed out that we do rip out people over the same ship that we do quite a bit. Oh, that's what it is. So, here, because I'm trying to picture this woman's everyday life, like does she have a family, does she have a husband, or does she go to the dry and through with McDonald's and order a big mac? Because that's what, you know, like I hope she lives in hospice care. Yeah. Oh my God. But then there are the subtle erotic undertones.

Now, maybe I'm stretching here, Carl, but go ahead and play number eight and tell me if you're here and the same thing I'm here. Now, I'm not going to lie. I know. I'm not going to lie ahead a little fun putting together those clips, but I didn't add anything to it. Right. I simply sliced these things from the show. you just fun her having orgasms and different times

You're not the show. I mean, you know look you got to do what you got to do I mean I jerk on twice as we started this podcast, but no number nine I thought maybe was a little inappropriate for a kids broadcast, but go ahead and play that Damn can I take you all juice? So it's funny that you play that because when I listen to this episode that you listen to and clip, but I wasn't paying real close attention. And I don't remember hearing that part. There was a part in my show that, did you listen to the episode I listened to? I did not.

Okay, this was a little bit crazy. I was actually surprised that they did this. Wow, and the world will be right back. grownups, this message is for you. Don't just think about a fantasy tonight. I think I have the phone call with fantasy girls. We never let you down. You always get a different girl and fantasy every time you call. Hot, hot fantasy in the privacy of your own home.

That's it! Back to the show! Well, you know... You joke, Carl, but NPR after dark is one of my favorite jokes. I hate that. Grown-ups, this message is for you. If there are adults listening to this, they know. They know the advertiser is for you. If there are adults listening to this, they know. They know the advertiser, it's for them. Yeah.

Especially it's for a sex line from the 90s. Indeed, indeed. It's amazing how these podcasts are all promoting these sex lines from the 90s. Yeah. Maybe that's the next podcast. After WATP closes the stores, you can review sex lines from the 90s,

because frankly, I would total those for that. Why can't we do both? Indeed. Why? Why? Just one or the other. Alright so I have some other things that I want to get to and it's often said and I believe our friend Adam Corolla says this all the time that the people who make entertainment for children are giant hacks. They make our entertainment for children because they couldn't cut it if they were trying to make a podcast that would entertain adults. Listen to this nonsense. This is just so many sound effects you have no idea what's going on. You can't make heads or tails of anything that's happening here. Can you see if she can catch that national park? Wait

way in the back and she's going for it. How about the jet plane over there, uh, to the right? What is my cell phone doing in there? Ha! Oh! Yes! It looks like she was able to grab everything that we need for today's show, Guy Ron! The other thing I hate about that is that thing where they have to explain what happened in the theater of the mind podcast. Well, did you see that?

It looks like she did this thing that she just did. Nobody talks like that. But anyway, this show is nobody talks like that. Yeah. And I don't say that their hacks lightly crows. You know me, I'm very fair about the podcast that I review. Absolutely. I would say something like that. Oh, of course. So I just want to prove that their hacks I went ahead and spent about 13 and a half minutes developing what WAT's kid-friendly program might sound like.

Oh boy. Using the same format that these assholes do, so enjoy. Hey kids, everyone would all that noise is coming from your parents bedroom. Oh. Oh. Oh.

Oh. Why does it get so noisy when daddy's in work? There's an easy way to find out. Just open the door and run in. Oh wow. Looks like mommy's friend Leon brought over a balloon to play with. Yes! Uh oh! Mom and Leon are angry at you. Better get out of there.

It hurts our feelings when mommy's angry. So what can we do? Oh no. Hey I know! Let's get the handgun that Daddy hides in the study. When you're gone, they'll be sorry they were ever mean. That will teach them. I don't know what, what's happening? They got dark quick. Yeah, that's with you. Now, oddly enough, that's also a show that's on Netflix now.

So, seriously, putting in all those sound effects and she warning all the shit in is not difficult to do. Yeah. I'm not impressed by this show in any way. And then I know that they have big budgets over there. And I'd be, there's underwriting, there's tax money that goes towards it. They're constantly raising money through.

Here's the thing most of their money comes from donors. So people are actually paying for this on purpose. Like they're choosing to support. You know who those people are? Not listeners. That's for sure. They're like, oh, you're putting a quality program? I'll chip into that. Crosch, I have a trivia question for you since you didn't listen to the episode that I did. Oh, please do. Here is an open-ended question. Who were the kinds of people who seemed to be Pokemon Go players? Oh boy.

Well, I guess not many of them anymore, right? Well, you give up. Alright, here's the answer. NOOOOO! That is correct. Alright, that's actually my answer. So, there's the actual answer that our friend Mindy gave and I hope you will listen closely and explain it with the fuck is going on here indeed. So again just to recap Who are the types of people who play Pokemon go? Probably the same kind of people who would go out in public wearing a giant Pikachu onesie

Which I'm only doing because it was on sale And because I had a little accident in the costume shop. Okay, so I had a different part, doesn't it? What kind of accident would have happened in a costume shop? They would force it to wear a Pikachu one-se. Boy, that's not- I was even get that joke. That's a good question, Carl. I'm, uh, am I missing something?

I'm gonna be up late tonight thinking about that actually. I don't, I, I, I'm gonna answer for you. She's talking about, so... GuyRaz is playing Pokemon Go for some reason in 2017. Yeah. And she jumps in, she's like, what are you doing? Why would you play that? And then all of a sudden, she's wearing a Pikachu onesie for some reason.

Oh, what? Who's laughing at these jokes? I, I don't get it. I don't get it. I don't get any of this. Okay. So the format of this show, at least the one I listened to, it was like two short segments that were like, you know, let's explain this crazy science to these crazy kids. Okay. Now number 10 is a clip from the first segment of my episode where they asked the question, why do shoelaces come on tide? Which honestly could be a pretty interesting question. Why do shoelaces come on

tied? I mean, it's a great disagree on that one. Alright, if you gave it to me in two or three sentences, I'd say, you know what? That's interesting. If you spent 10 minutes and some sound effects laid in fucking hellhole, and you should name your podcast after it. Indeed. But then we get into this my whole Wheel of Fortune or Japanese question. Here's number 10. For example, if you throw something up in the air, eventually it will fall back to Earth at a rate

of about 9.8 meters per second. 9.8 meters. So let's see, that's just like a little bit shorter than a school bus, right? So we're gonna explain... Right, I can't even understand the intricate meters per second per second. The intricate math-maditch of acceleration of gravity. So people who don't even know or care what a fucking meter is. You know what I'm saying?

If you're explaining how long 9.8 meters is by it, it's like a school bus then let's talk about acceleration Yeah, you know maybe calculus doesn't need to get into this oh my god. Oh, I did Yeah, so the rate of change young Timmy is this what was the first derivative is what I wanted though. Oh my god I think I'll fuck and then that's great. Yeah, so why do shrewlates is coming tight? Well first Let's let's have a discussion about advanced particle physics and then we'll get into that. I'm glad you picked this show because as I said, I wanted to be done with MPR but they just keep putting out more and more garbage and I almost needed to vote a whole faction of WATP just to MPR shows.

There seems to be a new podcast out there every week. Yeah, there's more to move. I think you enjoy. There is a hard scar. You know I'm a fan. I wish you a bunch of the shows you do I you know, I keep up with Kurt events and all that and they saw They've been hitting this so fucking hard for like a month straight every newscast every single newscast Has Mindy wow And it's like good fucking Lord woman. That was my eardrum. We don't have to do that right now.

Speaking of why in the world the title of it, the interview children in these episodes. Oh, I'm glad you brought this up. Okay. So here's one, and they have this nine year old on, and they ask her a question that doesn't exist. This is not a question. There you go. Hi, I'm Sarah, and I am nine years old.

So Sarah, tell me about a big wow in your world. How would you answer that question? So you have this poor nine-year-old who's going to be recorded for this podcast. Tell me about a while in your world. If you ask me that, punch you in the hat. Like what the fuck off? What are you talking about? Tell me about a big wow in your world. Carl, I'm glad you brought this up. So at the halfway point of my side. Johnny switched to page 37. I was down to get into this one.

Look, we got a lot to talk about, man. They have an intermission. And this intermission is a little light, a little appetizer, a little something to keep you going, and freshen you up for the next science segment. So they asked the kid this question. And here's a leaven. This is a clip that I call this fucking kick. One day I went to this planet and there was unicorns

and I put them in this special suit. I took all the air from that planet and I put it into the suit for the unicorn and now she jumps on my bed and makes the roof like a squeaky quacky. This kid's a fucking liar now first of all I think this kid is a fucking liar first of all This kid goes to a planet of unicorns and steals the fucking air She's like president screw from space balls and the show has reached a new low. All right Cheek fucking dude. We're talking about a unicorn genocide here. If you're trying to make jokes Cheek fucking dude, we're talking about a unicorn genocide here and you're trying to make jokes? That's a good point. I'm sorry, but you know what I think about this kid?

I'm substantiated fantasy! Lies! Lies! Lies! Is that kid's fake news, man? I mean... Combo Commander said it best. Yeah, that is fake news. A whole planet of unicorns. I mean, maybe unicorns have a planet where they inhabit it with other species, but a whole planet of unicorns. I mean, maybe unicorns have a planet

where they inhabit it with other species, but a whole planet of unicorns. Yes, a continent maybe. All right, so I have a, we're running lower on clips than I got. Wow, we've had a lot to get through. I have one where they're talking about what a scientific journal is.

And first off, who gets a shit, but secondly, just listen to the way he reads the script. I hate the way he reads it. This is a scientific journal, which is a sort of a cross between a book and a magazine, but inside there are articles written by by scientists. Oh. Boring.

Gives a shit who gives a fuck. But inside there are articles written by, but by scientists. Nobody talks like that. He's a guy, he's just a shit who gives a fuck but inside their articles written by book by scientists nobody talks like that he discusses a shit actor across between a book and magazine all right to hear what are we talking about it's not like a website but printed out and book for yeah

all good god uh... boy last clip for me. The second segment of my episode, they go to talk about the packaging of water in the future, which I'd love to tell you about, but I listen to this thing twice

and I couldn't stick with it, man. I was in and out on this one. They were complaining about all the plastic and the garbage and there has to be a better way to transport water to people. But I've decided that drugs were definitely involved here. Go ahead with number 12. And actually, some scientists think that some of the molecules

or the teeny tiny microscopic building blocks inside the water we drink and swim in at the beach are even older than that. Older than the sun and the earth. Older than our solar system. Fire out, man. I haven't seen a bong in years Now look

Yeah, okay, you're not this clip people enjoy magic mushrooms. It goes back to antiquity It goes back to the caveman. It may be responsible for us leaving the caves on the first one It goes back to that ween show I saw last week But don't tell your kids stories when you're on shrooms it's just not going to go well. You know what I'm saying? They might actually remember them and repeat that to strangers. That's my parenting advice and maybe that's what's responsible for this whole journey I've taken this week with my friends Mindy and Guy Ross.

The other thing about Mindy and Guy Ross for that matter is that they're joke suck. Oh boy. Did you notice that? I did kind of notice Well, here's an example a friendlier or happier or more positive person To be all of those things takes work and it starts by doing small things like smiling and not feeding your friends Brent sticks from the garbage. Yes, and saying I'm sorry for your loss every time someone loses a tooth There's been no laughs. What do you mean? I'm saying I'm sorry for your loss every time someone loses a tooth. There's been no laughs. What do you mean? What is she talking about not being in your friend's breadsticks from the garbage?

Does she work in an olive garden? Or else do they do that? That's not a practice that people have. That doesn't make any sense. Oh God And then when you're not supposed to say sorry for your loss when you lose a tooth that you were supposed to these jokes are fucking garbage This is this this all thing is it's just been a downward spiral. It's really this has been a long week for me. Call it. It's tough, man. You know, thank you for understanding this because last week we had a we had a tough

go at it with our audio production, but Vinnie was here and he made it seem like this is all funny games. Listen to the shitty podcast. It's not bad. Now it takes it's toll. Now it does take it's toll. You had to listen to the shitty podcast. It's not bad. It takes its toll. It does take its toll. You had to listen to just the promo of this show on shows that you enjoyed. It was annoying.

And then I forced you to listen to an entire episode. It's probably multiple times. It's an hour of my life. I'm never going to get back. No, you're not. And this is another hour of your life. You will never get back. There was a clip on here.

One of the things that I don't want to get too deep with this, but there's a lot of programming going on with educational programs for children, where there's a very specific agenda they're trying to push across, and this is an example if you can listen to the programming, and then there is an irony to the end of this clip that I find fascinating. For lots of different types of pollution to give a hoot about. Yeah. There's water pollution, air pollution, soil pollution, and even light pollution.

Which happens in big cities when there is too much artificial or human-created light that reaches up into the sky and can block out our view of the stars. Or when you throw your used light bulbs out the window when you're done using them. Oh. What I'm here for today, Guy Ross, is to help clean up some of this noise pollution. This shows complaining about noise pollution. Good God. Are you fucking kidding me?

This show is the poster boy for noise pollution. There isn't a single part of the show where people are just talking. There has to be music in the background, video game sound effects, and grandma fucking G4s. Yeah. It's jumping out the top rope. Oh, 15 layers of shit going on. 15 layers of shit, and it's not just the show. It's also the shitty, the pop-ups,

who are the little kid band that do the theme song. I just have a clip from the theme song. Listen to how much excessive noise and instrumentation there is in this. -♪ I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world, I will walk to the world yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, I did not add a single thing to that. No, I would classify that as ear violence I mean it's I actually have in my notes right here. This is an assault on my ear drum. Yes Yeah, it's a tire show is non-stop Yeah, so but I have good news for you because you do have young children I do you live in downtown Rochester. I did home of the straw museum of play. Oh, absolutely

And guess what the pop-ups are performing there on July 21st. Oh, shit. I went to their website to check it out. They're on tour. They're coming to Rochester. Oh, that's beautiful. It's the same night as clutch primus, but they're early, so we can go to both.

Yeah, yeah, there you go. So that's good news. That's not a joke, that's actually a real thing. And I expect you to break both of your kids there. Oh, yeah. I already have my tickets actually. I was trying to play Coy. All right. I mean, I've have my tickets actually. I was trying to play Coy. All right, I mean, I've exhausted my clips.

Is there anything else that you wanted to go over? I was playing fucking exhausted, my man. I feel like we've done a pretty good job dissecting this one. Not sure who the audience is. Wouldn't be good for children. I think when Vinnie and I were teasing this last week, we were talking about all the things we have to entertain kids these days.

A fucking podcast. It's gotta be at the bottom of that West. Kids and audio entertainment just doesn't fly. You know what I mean? Kids are like, they're either staring at something and sitting still and watching the screen or they're out doing something. You know what I mean? Exactly.

You know, it very rarely are they running errands. You know, when I'm mostly doing a podcast, it's because I'm driving to work, I've run a get, kids you gotta have these types of activities. Indeed, indeed. You know what I mean? mostly doing podcasts, it's because I'm driving to work, I've run it again. Kids, you gotta have these sites and activities. Indeed. Indeed. You know, there's a lot of things. I've been in the situation where I'm like, oh, kids, here's the thing you're interested in. We're in a long drive. Why don't I put this podcast on it? Yeah. I mean, they're just gone. It's, it's doesn't, you know, you don't get it. Yeah, that doesn't work. All right. So I, I mentioned that we have a new review on iTunes. Oh boy. And it is one of those one star reviews

that we're famous for getting. Harsh critiques coming from a bad place is the title of this. So let me read this to you and, you know, Kroge, you'd mention you're a long time listener. And date, let's see if you can agree with the sentiment of this review. I probably do, but I'll keep it a minute.

What I first tuned in, I thought this would be an interview show to help answer, who are these podcasts? I'm gonna stop right there So I really think who are these podcasts a legitimate question. Oh my god Unfortunately, they never answer that question who would click on this show hoping for that like I hope they interview those fucking Drunks in the trailer park that talk about cereal could you imagine if we had snatched that weave out of your

talking about like to talk about your podcast yeah all right rather the host critique the podcast blindly often after was seen to only one episode this is true although today yeah and I we didn't it up a little bit. Yeah, I'm sure this show is garbage. These armchair critics even have the audacity to make comments on production quality, verbal ticks, and topic drift. All things they're guilty of in their own show. All right, this is where I'm going to do this guy credit. Yeah. This guy's name is Dumbo Circus. Of course it is. I feel like this guy's supposed to be more than one episode of W-A-T-P.

Yeah. He's spotted out with this. This is true. This is true. This is very true. Every podcast reviewed is the butt of a joke. All right, you start to understand our format. That's good.

That's very good. Without any of their creators taking a part of the show, most of the future podcasts are just punching bags for the hosts. It is their right to have an opinion and share it, but I don't feel like any of this is coming from a good place. Clearly it's not. Crush, you know me pretty well. I am doing it.

I'm doing it. Do I do anything in life that comes from a good place? And almost two decades I've known you. No, I can't say that. No, not once. No, never once. So I wanted to say Dumbos Circus, you nailed it. Yeah.

You were a spot out, my friend. Speaking of reviews, I'm just going to rehash this quickly because we debuted a brand new jingle last week. It was from a avid listener in the UK, our buddy Marcus sent this in, and we encourage other listeners to create their own jingles. So I just want to rehash this because the audio quality last week was so terrible. I doubt many people got to the 41st minute mark.

We got what we started talking about this. So real quick, we've been referred to as a couple of guys slapping their bags on the couch by one of the negative reviews on our iTunes page. Back when Kevin was our co-host, we took up the moniker of bag slappers and then many jingles that referred to that and Marcus decided to pile on he wrote this before Kevin left the show So we're gonna take our time machine back to when it was Kevin and I and that would make sense and you'd hear this Before let's go

If you've been crap made by Pakistan facts and it's cool These two are listening to shit so that we don't have to So many shows are crap that we gotta ask! Kevin and Carl, who are these by past? They're ruthless, and I'm the nuts, I'm the vampire. They slap the fag. Nice job, Marcus. You've successfully cracked up.

The second goal was to hear that. And it's funny because when you email that to me, it was nothing but information about how terrible it is and he wanted me to goof out It he wanted me to say that it sucked and because he set it up that way. Yeah, I was like, I actually not that bad Yeah, I really have to say about it. He even gave me a stinger version Bro Brilliant now Bradbury is a solo with my friend. It is. It's no, it's no double-o-seven. Bad slappers!

But still I think that the back and black back and black is pretty good so that's just majestic Oh it's phenomenal. Oh man right, well, this has been fun. Oh, it hasn't. Well, it hasn't, but it has fun. All right, okay. And I'm speaking for everyone involved. The listeners, us, NPR. But here's the good news. Next week, we're gonna do this again. Oh, boy.

And actually, we have a guest host, Mark Testier, who's been on the show before, who's gonna come down and we're gonna review another podcast. And one of the things I like to do is I like to tease the podcast that we'll be listening to next week. And you know why I do that, Crush? Because it's fun.

Because it's fun. Because people hear that and they say, wow, I can't wait for next week episode. I better subscribe to the show. Yeah. And make sure I have it on my phone. I mean tap and refresh, all week long. Tap and refresh. Here it is. So we have recently decided to kind of reconstruct

the entire podcast and the name of it. I don't think that we're veering too far away from the purpose of the original podcast, because again, we're just two couple of random guys talking about a various kind of range of subjects and just diving deep into different rabbit holes. But we are now the Drew and Kevin adventure from Melania O'Mann's podcast.

And there's a couple of reasons why we decided to change the name. And one is because I think that one we started it, and this is kind of like the cornerstone reason why we decided to sort of take a different direction. And I think that we've just sort of evolved in the way that we think over just this past year, this past couple of years, and that's the beauty of being a human,

you know, your opinion sort of change and flow, and the way that you think, you know, you become enlightened in certain areas of your life, and you just change. And I think that Kevin and I have changed in a lot of ways that we think, but we're also, you know, we've stayed in sort of the same realm of being objective and taking a step back and looking

at things from all sorts of different sorts of perspectives. So, okay, that was a log one. What did he even say? Yeah, that's the very beginning of the show. So this is off to a blazing start. I changed my podcast. Let me just blather fucking bullshit nonsense for three and a half minutes. Yeah phenomenal. So this is called the Drew and Kevin Adventure. It was previously called

Millennial Madness Podcast and this is the 25th episode but it's really the first episode of this new version of it. And the name of it is welcome to the Drew and Kevin adventure. It's from June 15th of 2017 and I'm looking forward to this because I haven't heard anything beyond what you just heard. Yeah, I haven't listened to this yet. But I can tell it's all the things that make podcasts terrible. There's no format. They think that they can just ref with each other and it's gonna be interesting. Yeah, we're just gonna tackle a bunch of different topics and just listen to us fucking have a conversation. No, thank you Yeah, yeah, I don't know why people think this is a format. Yeah, yeah, well, you know again I go on their iTunes page and it's nothing but five star reviews So it's not as if we're kicking a man who's down

We're listening to a podcast that has a much higher rating overall. Yeah, that w ATP Which hey, maybe it's deserved. Yeah, maybe they're on to something. We'll find out for sure. So, Kroj, this has been good. I want to thank you for coming on and joining me here at my home. Absolutely, man, I'm glad to pleasure.

Yeah, well, we'll have you back again. And please, we ask that everybody joins again next week because it might be the episode where we find out once and for all, who are these podcasts? Sleep well, everybody. Party in the must-piss. Of Morning Radio.

Get out and show these cold white cows. 1.5% 1.5% 1.5% 1.5% 1.5% 1.5% 1.5% 1.5% 1.5% 1.5%
