    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 to the audience in front of you might be even worse. KC Day was a good sport putting together the Trek Off for Vinnie Paulino’s consequence and he made a heart warming tribute song for us. Jerry Banfield made every mistake possible with the love of his life and he’s finally ready to talk about where it all went wrong. Unfortunately he learned to stop giving us all of the details on his vlog. Good takeaway but not good for WATP. Kevin Brennan did one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen - he watched Adam Busch acting on a sitcom with Jon Lovitz, Danny Trejo, Cheri Oteri, etc. and decided that it proves Adam didn’t get paid and that he’s a failed actor. Bill Burr had Julian Casablancas, the lead singer from the Strokes on his show and he couldn’t be been less prepared. It’s awkward and embarrassing. Opie had Tony P cohost with him on Monday morning and shuts down any chance Tony had to promote his comedy. When Ron joins on Tuesday he tries once again to hit the goal and the reason he needs $100 this time is insane! Megan and Annie join us for a round of “Is It Gay?” and “Opie or Burr.” We get caught up on Spotify comments, reviews, and your voicemails.  Adam is opening for Roger Daltrey: https://www.yaamava.com/entertainment/roger-daltrey Tickets to see us live in Detroit: http://watplive.com/ WATP candy available now: https://www.leiselandfriendsgourmet.com/ Support us, get bonus episodes, and watch live every Saturday and Wednesday: ⁠⁠http://bit.ly/watp-patreon⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://watp.supercast.tech/⁠ Watch the episode here: https://youtube.com/live/N0htWM1Szd4  Learn more about your ad choices.

    Misery Loves Company, Scorch, Opie, Artie Fletcher, Jerry Banfield

    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 check in on Scorch with his cohost B.O.B. from 95X. Every story Scorch tells is based on being poor. Artie Fletcher’s stand up special includes anecdotes about employees at the comedy club and people in the audience he knows. Why would that be on a comedy DVD? Jerry Banfield has come up with yet another new business model. After an update on the Christian woman he’s completely fallen in love with, he explains a new service he thinks he’s going to charge $20,000 for. Opie’s new friend Erik Marino is somehow less funny than Ron, Tony, and Opie. Opie’s on fire because he had to poop a lot after eating sugar-free ice cream. We finish up with Internet News and your voicemails.

    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 of clips from his show, No Agenda, about what a prick Richard Marx is/was. Christian Bladt makes our “Cringe of the Week.” Artie Fletcher does some of the most hack jokes about TV commercials and manscaping you’ll ever hear. We check out Bryan Callen getting embarrassed on Jesse Lee Peterson’s show. Jerry Banfield has been destroyed by the woman he met 9 days ago. Who could have seen that coming?  Fortunately, he also found Jesus, which is convenient because this chick is super into Jesus. Kevin Brennan needs everything outside of Misery Loves Company to be a failure. Any success in entertainment is somehow a slight at Kevin. What are we talking about? Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, Adam Busch's acting career, and Sam Morril's stand up career. I'm not kidding, for real!! Kevin Brennan is mentally ill. Opie is getting ghosted by celebrities and it’s really shaking his confidence. Ron claims he’ll continue to be Opie’s friend even after Ron becomes famous. Opie doesn’t care. Megan and Annie join us for rounds of “Is It Gay?” and “Opie or Burr.” Megan has some recent Spotify comments, Annie reads some new reviews, and we finish with your voicemails.

    Kathy Griffin, Artie Fletcher, Opie Radio, Jerry Banfield, Aaron Imholte, MLC

    This week we’re checking in on Kathy Griffin who actually has a weekly video podcast. Of all the people who you’d think would have an audio-only show, Kathy’s on the top of the list. She is still fighting a battle against Donald Trump that our president is unaware is happening. She was on broadway performing in some play that totally bombed and got to take a private jet back to LA with Rosie O’Donnell. If I could sum this up in one word it would be “insufferable.” A listener mailed in Artie Fletcher’s stand up “special” on DVD. Artie is able to squeeze so many hack bits in it’s almost impressive. Adam Busch has a supercut that really proves Kevin Brennan has morphed into a bitter hasbeen who is almost identical to Stuttering John. Jerry Banfield is critical of our critiques. Hopefully he listens to us this time because he’s about to make the same mistake that put him $600k in debt in the past. Opie is trying the reverse psychology beg that got him to his goal last week. The problem is, there just aren’t enough people watching to make this work. Steel Toe is trying to turn not allowing me on his show into a win. No one is buying it because it doesn’t make any sense. Megan joins us for another Aaron Imholte “Gay Thoughts,” a round of “Is It Gay?” and Simon’s “Opie or Burr” game. We finish with Spotify comments and your voicemails.

    Scorch is BACK, Opie & Ron, Chad Zumock, Jerry Banfield, Gallagher

    Scorch is so awkward interviewing women. He seems like a guy with no game trying to get laid. But he also can’t get away from his old, terrible radio bits as he treats us to a round of Scorch’s Psychotic 6. Cringe of the Week features Elijah Schaffer fighting with his producer while being belligerent on his own show. Myster Magenta has a great new song parody. Chad Zumock reluctantly drops the copyright strike against Patrick Melton. He then deals with moderator drama and couldn’t make it less interesting. The Portcast with Ron Bennington is extremely compelling. We find out why Gallagher had to move in with Artie Fletcher’s mom. Jerry Banfield was manically depressed that a woman doesn’t like him the way he likes her, so he comforted himself with hours of communicating with AI. He then completely changed his business model once again and it just keeps getting worse. Opie actually figured out a way to start making money. He’s using reverse psychology and it’s actually effective! Ron is continuing to piss me off with his lack of gratitude. Megan and Annie join the show to play Megan’s “Is It Gay?” and Simon’s “Opie or Burr” games. We finish with comments, reviews, and voicemails.
