Ep606 - The Dylan Hour

This week we’re checking out a brand new podcast that was three years in the making. Dylan Mulvaney is a trans woman who is so hated she destroyed one of the best known brands in the US. Most people would not be able to pull that off and if they did, they certainly wouldn’t get a podcast out of it. Anthony Cumia and Adam Busch both join us to discuss Dylan’s iconic conversations behind closed doors. Scorch finally reveals his motorhome and we analyze the terrible logo they developed for Dive Bar...

Ep605 - Soul Boom, Opie vs Erock, StutJo's Last Show

Rainn Wilson played one of the beloved characters from the US version of the Office. What kind of wacky stuff is he up to now? Oh, he’s hosting a podcast about spirituality that’s based on a book he wrote that explores the potential for a spiritual revolution, both individually and collectively. Trucker Andy joins the show to discuss Trisha Paytus’s many rock bottoms. Cockfight is trying to get listeners. Erik Nagel joins the show to respond to Opie’s latest rant about Erik not having a future i...

Ep604 - Exploring Desires with Locked Cuck

We start things off with the trials and tribulations of the Locked Cuck. This is a man who gets punished for making cumsies when he’s not supposed to. His girlfriend doesn’t even let him clean up after her bull finishes. Jodie B. from the Po’Boys Podcast joins us to discuss the difference between punishments and funishments.

Ep603 - CPS Visits Ethan Klein, Anthony v. Opie, Stuttering John, Howard Stern

We start things off by showing that Steel Toe’s Aaron Imholte accused his enemy (Patrick Melton) of doing something lame (dressing up his dog) only to be proven wrong, and his response is to double down and continue to gaslight his audience. He doesn’t seem to care about credibility at all. Then we analyze Ethan Klein’s potential drug problem and can’t help but notice his battle against the internet is not going well. Adam Busch joins the show to discuss the potential hazards of injecting yourse...

Ep602 - Master the allegations against Neil Gaiman

Neil Gaiman is a horny dude and he’s getting himself into a lot of trouble as a result. It’s a salacious story similar to Chris D’Elia’s with many of the “victims” coming forward to tell their truth. We listen to the podcast that has the scoop and couldn’t do a worse job of presenting it. Trucker Andy and Lucy Tightbox both join the show to discuss how terrible Amanda Palmer’s music is and how much Lucy wants to be one of the “victims” of Neil Gaiman. Ethan Klein got suspended from Twitch for 30...

Ep601 - StutJo's Stand Up, Opie, Armie Hammer, Ben Sixsmith

We start the show today by interviewing Ben Sixsmith who recently published the article “The Irresistible Rise of the LOLcows” in The Critic Magazine. The article does a masterful job of describing Stuttering John’s relationship with WATP while also touching on Patrick Michael, Aaron Imholte, Chad Zumock, and Howard Stern. Then Ben hangs with Adam Busch, Producer Chris, and me as we watch Opie officially morph into Stuttering John. We are joined by Boca Dave who recently went to see Stuttering J...

It’s the episode 600 spectacular! We start with Kevin Brennan showing signs of mental illness in his interaction with a police officer who pulls him over for speeding. Alec Baldwin threatens the life of a Trump impersonator, Gavin Newsom is starting a new podcast, Eric Zane had an accident on his show, and we have boots on the ground reporting from Aaron Imholte’s boxing event.

Ep599 - Young Old Podcast

Dana Donnelly is a short Asian girl with a history of serious eating disorders. Along with her younger sister and her fiance, she’s going to be the next Brittany Broski. Her obsession with fame would be interesting if she would realize that talent is still a major factor in being successful. Tookie joins the show and is immediately thrown off when he finds out that Robert isn’t a gay man, he’s actually dating Dana. Lucy Tightbox joins the show to discuss Kevin Brennan getting a one-week suspensi...

Ep598 - The H3 Show

Ethan Klein is no stranger to controversy, his podcast and YouTube channel have been in the middle of many newsworthy events over the past decade. Now he’s found himself in the middle of the Israel v Palestine debate and, in case you were wondering, a lot of people are extremely fired up about this issue. Ethan is scrambling and looking to take down people’s channels and entire subreddits. Adam Busch joins us once again and KC Day hops on to help us understand why Ethan is battling Hasan Piker. ...

Ep597 - Timeline Cleanse

David Lee Corbo, aka the Raven, is a conspiracy theorist who doesn’t know anything about conspiracies and also enjoys being racist. Time to put those messages back into the end zones. When he’s not being tricked by fake news about Covid19, he’s watching black people fight each other like it’s World Star Hip Hop in 2008. TopLobsta is back to once again clown one of his good friends and cohosts. Opie can’t stop talking about Jim Norton and the jealousy is getting ugly. Tom Myers is finally back wi...

Ep596 - Opie Unleashed

Opie has created a new channel where we get to watch him treat people like he’s better than them. He refers to this behavior as “pranks.” He’s also trying out a couple of new cohosts on his show and they’re perfect because neither can call him out on his BS. It’s another Adam Busch Wednesday as we yuck it up about Anthony Cumia’s most recent Opie troll. Theo Von has former NFL great Antonio Brown on his show and the two of them become best friends immediately while inventing their own language. ...

Ep595 - The Broskie Report

Brittany Broskie is one of the most famous TikTokers of all time and that’s pretty much all you need to know about TikTok. On her podcast it’s just her and her laptop. She sings songs, makes faces, Googles stuff, and argues with herself. Oh, and she also throws out some hot political takes. Blind Mike and Lucy Tightbox both join the show to try to figure out if Brittany is drinking too much caffeine. Stuttering John came back on his channel to expose Kate Meaney and I have no idea what he expose...

Ep594 - Good For You

Whitney Cummings has a cool skateboarding boyfriend and she’s head over heel flips in love. But are there some red flags that she’s missing? Chris Cole is involved in a huge scandal that everyone in the comments is talking about but Whitney pretends is not happening. How long is she going to keep this going? And by that I mean her terrible show. Adam Busch joins the show to cut through the fake love talk and breakdown what’s really going on. Opie is either ill-informed or straight up lying about...

Ep593 - Date Brazen

A fat matchmaker gives single people great dating advice like bring up politics right away on the first date and act like a giant narcissist while giving your decisions very little thought. She explains how to get everything you want in a partner by using your “main character energy.” Did I mention she’s an intersectional feminist? Vinnie Paulino joins the show to discuss his mutual love for the Gilmore Girls. We travel back to 2023 and find a classic episode of That Reality Show where Lisa Bosw...

Ep592 - The Exploring Antinatalism Podcast

On this episode we learn what it is to be an antinatalist. This is a philosophy that calls for the extinction of the human race and possibly all other sentient life forms. Basically they think if something bad could happen then you should never risk it. Have these people ever seen a casino? It would blow their minds. Adam Busch joins the show and is blown away by how much fun the host of an antinatalism podcast is having. Rob Saul lashed out at me and it reveals a lot about what’s going on in hi...

Ep591 - Deck the Hallmark

The Hallmark Channel churns out cheesy romance movies made for the dumbest of dumb women. A couple of guys have been spending the past few years of their lives pretending that they’ve built a powerhouse of a podcast and media company based on reviewing these movies. It’s actually kind of depressing when you think about it so don’t. Don’t ever think about it. Pat Oates joins the show to laugh about how funny the word “dongle” sounds. Lucy Tightbox hops on the show to discuss Danny Polishchuck’s n...

Ep590 - The Padded Agent

Meet Mark. Mark isn’t just any adult baby diaper lover (ABDL), he’s a 24/7/365 diaper wearer. When he flushes the toilet at his sad apartment he’s just making sure it still works. Is using disposable diapers to handle all of your business right for you? Find out on today’s show! Dave Landau makes his WATP debut to talk about what Mark must smell like at work.

Ep589 - Tipsy Tuesday feat. Joe Matarese

We went out to see the 93.7% Italian Tour starring Joe Matarese. After a breakdown of some of the funnier moments from the show (spoiler: it wasn’t the jokes) we check him out on a podcast from earlier this month. Dena Blizzard invited him on her show to find out if 93.7% is a real statistic. Trucker Andy is in studio and Anthony Cumia hops on to figure out if Joe can create that viral video that’s going to launch his career. We get an update on Christy Love, the porn actress who hosted a podcas...

Ep588 - 727

Today we’re getting into the wayback machine to check in on a conspiracy and supernatural podcast hosted by Patrick Michael who back then was Sheamus McKillian. Patrick and his cohost talk about the fictional character known as Slender Man and wonder if maybe Slender Man is real. They also discuss Mothman and other phenomenon they haven’t researched and know very little about. Branden from “The Worst Of” on YouTube (formerly Shitty Song of the Week) joins us to point out that Patrick Michael is ...

Ep587 - Mockery Manor

This week we’re checking out one of the most popular audio drama podcasts. Two teen girls spend the summer working at a violent amusement park… with sexy results. Also, there are tons of cats because the foley artist has a lot of cat sounds they needed to use. Tab Birt joins the show after listening to the entire first season because it’s his new favorite show. Jerry Banfield made a YouTube video for the 4,974th day in a row. Aaron Imholte wants to box everyone in Vegas and he’s pretending the c...

Ep586 - Dan Has Jokes

We’ve all heard Tom Myers’ comedy but what if you interviewed him and took him seriously? What would that sound like? Dan Caper hosts a show about the craft of joke writing and even lets Tom punch up some jokes he’s been working on. This is Tom’s calling in my opinion. Adam Busch joins us to marvel at how fame hasn’t changed Tom Myers. Virgie Tovar has recently been appointed the weight czar for San Francisco’s health department and her take is, “why would anyone want to be healthy?” Howard Ster...

Ep585 - Hawk vs. Wolf

Legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk teams up with skateboarder/MMA fighter/broadcaster/author/annoying personality Jason Ellis. They get a wide array of guests but on this episode they have the freestyle skateboarding GOAT Rodney Mullen and the most versatile and creative young skateboarder, Andy Anderson. So of course they talk about - Jason Ellis. Doug from Good Times Great Movies joins us to discuss Jason Ellis riding bareback on his horse. Caleb Hammer has another dummy on his show who thinks s...

Ep584 - Behind the Bunker

This week we’re checking in on some guys who love paintball. They love it so much they do a show about it every week for over 12 years. They also love charcuterie and, well, that’s about it. Blind Mike is completely charmed by these simple Canucks. Harrison Young had the great Troy Smith on Topic Time and it’s everything you’d want it to be. Steel Toe has discovered a solution to the goal that might be his dumbest idea yet. Stuttering John might be leaving the Dabbleverse but he’ll never leave t...

Ep583 - Worst of 2024

This is a jam-packed end-of-year episode featuring some of the worst podcasts that we reviewed his year. The Golden Hour, Metal Mascara, My Heart is in Vermont, Gud Pud, This is Mariya, and Fierce Fatty are all worthy candidates. And these are presented by me, Producer Chris, Lucy Tightbox, Trucker Andy, Jenny Jingles, and Vinnie Paulino respectively. After everyone provides strong evidence that their show is the WORST, we find that Patrick Michael posted a recent episode of Mouth Like War on Yo...

Ep582 - Rob Saul Show

Before Stuttering John left Florida to stay in New York for the holidays, he had a drunken send off from his buddy Rob Saul and new friend Nasty Neal. Rob Saul and John are wasted while simulcasting which gives them the ability to read insulting superchats back and forth to each other. And of course Vince is sending John alcoholic beverages while Rob calls everyone losers. Adam Busch and Christian Bladt both join us at the start and Cardiff hops on as well. After a thorough analysis of Rob’s ina...

Ep581 - Petty Crimes Podcast

Successful true crime podcasts often use this formula - get a sassy gay guy with a woman who is overly enthusiastic about heinous crimes. That combo equals tens of thousands of dollars per month. This show is trying that but it’s a swing and a miss. The gay guy is trying too hard and the woman is just boring. Oh, and no one should be enthusiastic about these “stories.” Trucker Andy and Lucy Tightbox both join the show to try to figure out why some of these episodes have so many views. Then we ge...

Ep580 - Loveline with Kevan Kenney & Dr. Tara

Remember Loveline, the show that introduced many people to Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew? IT’S BACK!! Oh, but those guys who made it good, they have nothing to do with it. Meet Kevan Kenney, a total cornball, and Dr. Tara, a woman who would be great if she didn’t talk. David Collins joins the show to explain his discomfort with the format and topics discussed. Maybe he didn’t enjoy all the talk about small penises. Me and My Wife, the show Mike Calta does with his wife, talked about us again and he ...

Ep579 - Hey Todd Dot Com

This week we’re talking about Todd Pettengil from the famous Scott and Todd Show on WPLJ 95.5 in NYC. We start with Todd’s last day on the radio and the embarrassingly tearful goodbyes. Then we check in on his short-lived online show that is no longer behind the paywall. Drew Lane and Brandon McAfee from the Drew Lane Show join us (because we’re using their studio) to discuss Howse the Producer’s totally natural laugh at everything Todd says. Then we visit the Ron and Ron Show featuring Ron Benn...

Ep578 - Cliquebait Comedy Podcast

Keren Margolis and Amanda Gail both refer to themselves as comics but through extensive research we could not find any evidence of this. Their “comedy” podcast is anything but funny. In fact, they sometimes talk about astrology for 15 minutes at a time (during a 30 minute episode). Doug from Good Times Great Movies joins us to expose Amanda working out her “bits” on the show. Scorch is the Cringe of the Week as he brings back Weird News, hits on his cohost, and gets really weird with an underage...

Ep577 - Coffee With the Dog!

You’re waking up having coffee with the dog, aka minddog, aka Matt Nappo. This is a daily morning show with a panel of “comics” and “celebrity” guests. The panel includes such names as GD Fenderson (who you might know from Blind Mike’s show) and the guests include names like Jackie Martling (who you might know from Who Are These Broadcasters). Trucker Andy joins the show to explore minddog’s music and his cohosts’ stand up comedy. Lucy Tightbox is also on the show as we take a look at how Haliey...
