Ep756 - Bill Burr, Kevin Brennan, Opie & Tony P, Jerry Banfield, Chad Zumock
We start with Mersh from ROTC getting his ex-girlfriend fired from her job. He’s not proud of it… or is he? Bill Burr cohosted the Guitar Center Drum-off so you know what that means, Bill is gonna give us his hot takes on percussion music theory. Bob diddity bop blopt bop bop! There’s also talk about space and quiet. Bill must be a GREAT drummer. On Cringe of the Week we have a music edition…
Minisode - Falling Asleep to True Crime Podcasts with Kaya
Kaya has been raging about the number of female TikTokers who are team Lindsay Clancy, a woman who murdered her three children. What causes these people to side with a horrific monster? Could it be the over-saturation of true crime podcasts? We do the research. Kaya and I check out the true crime podcasts that women fall asleep listening to including True Crime Sleep Stories and Dead Sleep - True…
Ep755 - Owen Cook, Jerry Banfield, Opie and Ron, Artie Fletcher
We’re learning a lot about being awesome and getting chicks with life coach Owen Cook. This guy is so freakin’ cool. He teaches losers how to act like they are slightly less lame than they actually are. Trucker Andy joins us to explain what you get when you give Owen $16k for a weekend together. We watch another excruciating seven minutes of Artie Fletcher’s stand up special that he released as a…
Ep754 - Tony Michaels Rebrand, Stuttering John, Opie Unfiltered, Jerry Banfield
Whitney Cummings decided to scrap an entire episode and then she scrambled to record a new one that no one was prepared for. What could she have possibly said about Perez Hilton? Tony Michaels has decided to completely change his show format. The problem is, he’s still the host and he is endlessly unlikeable. Adam Busch revisited Stuttering John’s Beer on the Balcony featuring David Feldman. It’s…
Ep753 - Joe Cronin Show, Jerry Banfield, Opie vs. Anthony, Zman
Joe Cronin hosts a wrestling show that perhaps at one time was popular. That’s definitely not the case anymore. He seems to hate it. The specific episode we chose to review is a definite red flag. He probably needs someone who loves him (or just kinda likes him) to step in and help. Jim from Jim and Them had an amazing accomplishment recently. He and his cohost were able to infiltrate (purchase…
Ep752 - Opie Unfiltered, Jerry Banfield, Kevin Brennan, Aaron Imholte, Whitney Cummings
We start with Mario Bosco appearing in front of 18,000 fans on Kill Tony. He may not be very funny but he actually does have the misguided confidence he’s known for. Chad Zumock outed Aaron Imholte for getting too drunk at the Steel Toe anniversary event and poor Aaron could not figure out how to spin it. After we listen to Stuttering John’s isolated vocal tracks as our Cringe of the Week segment,…
Ep751 - Kinky Katie's World, Topic Time, Jerry Banfield, Opie, Stephanie Brie
Kinky Katie is a never-was porn actress who thinks she's coherent enough to host a podcast about fetishes. As gross as her and her cohost are when it comes to sex, nothing they say is interesting or titillating. Mean Doug joins us to prove this show will keep any guy's penis soft for hours. Jerry Banfield almost texted "the queen" but fortunately ChatGPT told him not to. We get a boots on the…
Ep750 - Lifeline w/Chris D'Elia, Kevin Brennan, Joe Matarese, Jerry Banfield, Opie
This week we start by checking in on Joe Matarese’s Road Back to Philly. This show has turned into a heavily medicated hasbeen having boring conversations about the weather with a dullard. Danny can’t spit out a single question and Joe pretends it’s a normal back and forth. Adam has been documenting the mental decline of Kevin Brennan for a few weeks now. Everything Kevin says is a lie. Everything…
Minisode - Jerry Banfield Changes His Business AGAIN!!
I’m joined by Jenny Jingles and Producer Chris to get caught up on Jerry Banfield. He just release three vlogs and it’s a wild ride. It’s officially over with “the queen” (the one that got away). Jerry acts like he’s over it but he’s not. No worries, he’s getting tons of dates and she should be jealous (he hopes). Also, he has decided once again to completely change his business model. Support us,…
Ep749 - Scatpodcast by Dirty Gary, Opie Radio, Jerry Banfield, Artie Fletcher
For everyone who’s been asking us to get back to old school episodes of WATP, careful what you wish for. We meet Dirty Gary, a gay man who is really into scat, aka poopy. Wait until you hear what his guest has been up to. I didn’t realize I could be shocked by a podcast in 2026, but here we are. Tab Birt joins us in studio and Nice Doug is also on to share listener questions that will make you…
Ep748 - Bill Burr, Opie Radio, Jerry Banfield, Artie Fletcher, MLC, Chad Zumock
Today we start with the revelation that Nikki Glaser did not send Chad $500 for his special. Shocking I know! Cardiff did some great investigating and proved that once again Chad has made up a lie that wouldn’t have made him look good even if it were true. Artie Fletcher’s standup set is getting more and more bizarre. Crowd work for your DVD special isn’t a good idea but local references to cater…
Kevin Brennan’s mental illness is on full display as he screams at Flimsy Greenberg for creating a dashboard. Chad Zumock calls into Misery Loves Company to brag about asking successful comics to fund his new special. For some reason life is going well for both Kevin and Chad because Pat Dixon doesn’t own a car. It makes sense as long as you don’t think about it. Vinnie Paulino joins the show to…
Ep746 - Kevin Brennan is Mental! Jerry Banfield, Opie Radio, Chad Zumock, Bryan Callen
We start off with Chad Zumock issuing a challenge to Pat Dixon and he includes “anywhere, anytime.” Pat immediately accepts the challenge, calling Chad’s bluff, and makes the Zman look extremely foolish. Fortunately for Chad, some super famous and successful comics donated to his GoFundMe. Which I totally believe. I received the sad news that John C Dvorak passed away this week. We play a couple…
Ep745 - What's Our Podcast?, Opie Radio, Jerry Banfield, Cumia on BYB
This week we’re checking in on Kyle Mooney and Beck Bennett, two SNL alums who are maybe the most forgettable cast members ever. Kyle Mooney is especially terrible and he proves it on this podcast that relies on schtick and nonsense. Trucker Andy joins us to discuss where on the doll Kyle touched him. Jerry Banfield has once again fallen in love. Oh no. I have a feeling this won’t end well. Jerry…
