  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a badass though. It was in the military
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: for real.

  Speaker 2: I could tell I kind of sized up. So when
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: I got in this house, he was no joke. Yeah, no, no,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: he was like a parrot jumping out of the plane.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: You like, he'll kill you the fucking button knife.
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: I loved him, Mike, I knew some real badasses.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I was being a little obnoxious, but let's sit it o.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Let's know, I loved the military because I was a
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: fake military guy. He'll fucking kill you with the fucking
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: pen knife.
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: Well, Mike said he was a fake military guy because
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: he went to training in the Marines and then left early.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: I didn't finish my term either. You know, I was
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: kicked out for alcohol rehabilitation and failure. You know, I'm
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: okay today, but I was fucked up that he was.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Jumping out of planes. I can't even jump up a step, lad.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: You know, the Marines got mad on the old radio
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: show and you talk about I don't want to talk.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: About them guys. Oh guys, kill some more people for
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: some safe But the thing is like a saying earlier,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I think what happened he was a fucking travish thinging
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Oh you think no, no, no, no, I'm sure do
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: you No? I mean that's Hill want to bite me?
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: I don't.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I mean that's in Hill now, thanks Mike, all kidding aside.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I uh, I was devastated when they let me go.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: It's serious.
• 3:35
  Speaker 7: No, no.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: More devastating is that I can't.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: I can go.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I can for an hour at least I could name
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: people international headlanders now and bigot people are on TV,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: older movies, the millionaires themselves. Now, that just fucking went
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: in the back on you, like, you know, not only
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: all he don't have dish bad now they're saying all
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: kinds of fucking nonsense and stuff, right, and you know
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: what I think so much sometime, what do you.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: That's about, Mike, Because look, I'm not completely innocent. Obviously,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: we all have our issues and we've done things to people.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: So all right, fair enough, So some of the stuff
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: you know is justified, But why do you think that like,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: so many people have now decided they have to stab
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: me in the back and talk shit about me now
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: that I don't have this big radio show, because what
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: do you think it's about?
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: People are super self absorbed in this business, because it's
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: about what can you do for me lately? That's the
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: main thing. And it's like, I don't, like I said
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: my friends in this Who I like is people I
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: don't care if so much famous international, I don't want
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: to be a friend of. I don't care what they
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: can do for me. Yeah you know what I mean.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: If I like you as a person in my friend
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: most people like like a chess gin like, oh he
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: can get me a dish. That guy will do dish
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: that they'll do that. No, it's about having great work done,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: keeping your mouth shut, and didn't warn everybody you can.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: So it's safe to say a lot of those relationships
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: I had over the years were not real. Huh. It
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: depends on what is It was real because I had the
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: big show and then the show goes away. I really
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: I found out who my true friends are. Oh yeah,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: and I found out what a lot of these people
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: are made of. I still had plenty of friends and
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: a bunch of.
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: Those guys stuck around since because as I've come up
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: from a fans point of view, and when it became
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: just OPI Radio, your show became the only show I
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: was listening to, even though I was fans of everybody else,
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: and I couldn't figure out in my head as somebody
• 5:22
  Speaker 6: was just a fan and then found the YouTube. Shit
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: what they would say about you on the other side,
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: and then what you were trying to say, was any
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: of the shit true? Like that you were just always
• 5:32
  Speaker 6: an asshole behind the scenes, you know, as a fan,
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, I unfortunately played the role of boss, so
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: that comes with a lot of tough things you gotta do.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I hired most of the people, I had to fire
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: most of the people. I had to deal with everyone's
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: issues at at serious XM, and those guys all they
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: had to do was show up and be funny on
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: the radio and leave immediately. You know. I was the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: one that was taking all the meetings, so just like
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: you're in an Asian to manage well some of them
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: and some of it was certainly some of it was true,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: but also it's based on very very old information. I
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: realized a long time ago that I kind of had
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: an anger problem, Like I would be frustrating with people
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: around me and I would yell and scream.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Who doesn't thank you?
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: But I would yell and scream to try to get
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: my way and try to get my point across. Realize
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: when you do that, even though you know you're right
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: with what you're saying, no one's going to listen to you.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: They think you're complete and out to ask how are.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: They taking it?
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: And you know where I related to you was because
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: when I started, I mean, obviously your show is a
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: behemoth that my show, my podcast is like a little
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: speck of sand.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: So I started my podcast it was just me.
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: And then after a year or so, I met with
• 6:38
  Speaker 6: these other comics networking and then I started working with them.
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: But now there's more voices at the table. So it's
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: like when.
• 6:43
  Speaker 6: Opie created his show back in the day. Now he's
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: got Anthony on with him. Now, Jim Norton comes sometimes
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: other people on the show. They started clicking together and
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: then I could see you or maybe even here now
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: you're sitting there like this is my show. I also
• 6:55
  Speaker 6: want to bring my show in a certain direction. But
• 6:58
  Speaker 6: sometimes the guy steering the ships is the sales are
• 7:00
  Speaker 6: blowing different ways, and I can see where a lot
• 7:02
  Speaker 6: of frustration came from. Sometimes you're trying to go here
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: and then other people at the table are pulling it
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: this way, you know what I mean. So I saw
• 7:09
  Speaker 6: a lot of times where you were kind of liked
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: this conversation.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: You know, Wow, Sal's really smart. I stick with this guy,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: I really know, because that's a really good point. And
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: I'll admit this today too, Like when you have three guys,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: you're gonna have two that are tighter. And I was
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: definitely the odd man out right sometimes because Jimmy and
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Aunt got really close and bonded, and uh, you know
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: maybe at that point, you know, they should have just
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: kind of moved on and done their own thing.
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: And not to say it's a bad thing, but I
• 7:37
  Speaker 6: could see where when it's your show and you're going
• 7:39
  Speaker 6: well with these two people are closer to where And
• 7:42
  Speaker 6: I used to as a fan listening, you would go, Okay,
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: well maybe in a year, we don't continue with this,
• 7:45
  Speaker 6: and we just go our own ways and do our
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: own things. And as a selfish fan of is go no,
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: fucking don't break it up. But I get why now
• 7:51
  Speaker 6: you're like, in a peaceful way, I'm gonna go do
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: my thing and have fun, and you could go do
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: your thing.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: And well, the interesting thing about that I get, I
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: get a lot of hate that I was the one
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: up opian Anthony. I never broke up and Anthony Anthony
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: got fired.
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: But what about them saying you could have fought for
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Anthony Moore?
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: We absolutely fought for Anthony. I mean he likes to
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: spend that. Now, we also were under contract, so we
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: couldn't leave right away. They were threatening us with all
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: sorts of stuff.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: I don't think should have left because of the contract,
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: But I.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Mean Anthony never Anthony never asked me to join him
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: when he was fired. When he was fired when he
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: was If he wasn't fired, the Opie and Anthony brand
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: would have continued in some way.
• 8:27
  Speaker 6: When you made the video about it, kind of was
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: misleading that you were going to be Anthony's duo co host,
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: but then you told us no, I'm not. Before Artie
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: came on, in my head, I was thinking, did Anthony
• 8:36
  Speaker 6: ever ask him? And Opie just didn't want to go?
• 8:37
  Speaker 6: Did that ever happen? Did he ever offer you to
• 8:39
  Speaker 6: that spot?
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: I was offered to go over to Compound Media through Keith.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Through Keith, me and Anthony officially never well no, then
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Anton sort of reached out Center it would be cool,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: but at that point it wasn't the right place for
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: me because I needed to move on and do my
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: own thing. And it was at this point it was
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: years have gone by since the Ona Show, so id
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: very seriously and in the end, I'm like, that's just
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: not the place for me. Nothing against those guys over there,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: but I want to do a whole, you know, different thing.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: And somehow that's spun into now I really got to
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: hate you even more.
• 9:12
  Speaker 6: You know, when you turned me because I didn't know
• 9:15
  Speaker 6: who to like more or whatever.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: But I don't care who people like more.
• 9:19
  Speaker 6: I want to say, when you're a point of view,
• 9:22
  Speaker 6: you don't want to deal with that though, And I
• 9:23
  Speaker 6: see a lot of fans they picked sides ridiculous. Yeah,
• 9:26
  Speaker 6: And as a fan of both, there was a day
• 9:27
  Speaker 6: you turned me. I remember it was when it was
• 9:30
  Speaker 6: open towards the end of Opie and Gym, and one day
• 9:33
  Speaker 6: you just said it all. It was like an hour
• 9:34
  Speaker 6: long and you talked about when you said Anthony didn't
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: even when he left your wedding, or when you said
• 9:39
  Speaker 6: he hasn't even met my second kid.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: I remember, Mike call.
• 9:42
  Speaker 6: My wife used to hate when I would just play
• 9:43
  Speaker 6: the show all the time, but she doesn't want to
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: hear it all. But remember that day, even she was
• 9:46
  Speaker 6: quiet and we were listening together, I was like, listen
• 9:48
  Speaker 6: to this, like the real shit's coming out. And I
• 9:50
  Speaker 6: was like, you know what, I could see it from
• 9:51
  Speaker 6: Opie's point of view at this point, after twenty years,
• 9:54
  Speaker 6: you haven't seen his kid.
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: You left the wedding. I just got married a year ago.
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: If one of my people I've known for twenty years
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: just got up and took some of the wedding and
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: left right the wow I was bringing.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: Up some turt I was deeply I was deeply hurt.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: Because we got married in Philly at the Ritz Carlton
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: and Anticide. That was a perfect weekend to plan a
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: trip to Atlantic City. So not only did he not
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: stay for for you know, plates, you know plates, you know, uh,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: they didn't stay for you know, the main part of
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: the wedding because they moved on to Atlantic City and
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: he brought a whole bunch of the staff with him,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: So not only did he leave, he left with a
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: whole bunch of people and thought this was the perfect
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: time to go to Atlantic City.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and I can't say who's right or wrong in
• 10:38
  Speaker 6: any event, But just when you explain that situation, all
• 10:41
  Speaker 6: all I can see is if I was sitting at
• 10:42
  Speaker 6: the day is like people standing by standing up, you're
• 10:45
  Speaker 6: pretty much saying I have something more important to do
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: than this, the most important moment.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: And one hundred percent so. But I did fight for him.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: He thinks I didn't fight form enough.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: Because but brutal shoots to shoot, fucking brutal animal.
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: But he was already building building his home studio. He left, Uh,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: he got fired. We we talked a little bit, and
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: there was no conversations in there. Why don't we try
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: to do this on our own for my new studio.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: It never came up well, So for me to get
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: all the hate for breaking up the ownA show, it's
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: just simply not true.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: I could see if you didn't fight for him.
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: I could see why though, once again putting myself in
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: your shoes. If I want, If I wasn't getting along
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: so great with somebody, this was kind of a natural
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: way to let you go. Do your own thing from
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: now on. And who could blame you for feeling that way.
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: It wasn't you actually blowing the show up. Serious was
• 11:36
  Speaker 6: doing it for you. So if that did happen what
• 11:38
  Speaker 6: you're saying, it didn't you fought from I would be like,
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: I wouldn't fault the guy for doing that.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: You know, I fought for all my guys many many times.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Jimmy knows how many times I fought for him. Anthony
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: knows how many times I fault when me and Anthony
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: got back. When me and Anthony started and he literally
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: didn't know anything about this business, he was a quick
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: learner and really knows what he's doing. You know, I'll
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: give I'll give props when it's necessary. But when we
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: moved to Boston, I was the radio guy and he
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: was in air conditioning, but a natural talent.
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: It's like break it. I always saw that and was like,
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: that's amazing.
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's why people really could relate to Anthony.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Of course, And then we go up to Boston and
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: we had this PD Dave Douglas, and he pulled me
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: and knows this story, pulls me aside and was feeling
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: me out. He's like, why Anthony in the in the
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: break room, I go, what do you mean, why Anthony?
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: You were listening to the show? Why are you even
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: asking that question? That's ridiculous. But he was feeling me
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: out because he wanted to get rid of Anthony at
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: the time. And I went to Bruce Mittman and basically said,
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: what is Dave Douglass doing? He doesn't see the chemistry
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: and how this we got a good thing going on here.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: But Anthony knows that story, you know, so he knows
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I stuck up for him all those Yeah, that's what
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: the shoots did to me on direct TV.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Audie told me because they were like, he's not right
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: for it, ish all kinds of shit. But the thing
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: is like when I had an argument with Audie, the
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Finns ganged up with make you know what I mean?
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: They were like, oh, Audi's a legend. I'm like, why
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: can't I be? You know what I mean? They're just
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: fucking ridiculous.
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: The heroin deals like, shut up, Mike, he's the best customery.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: We should have bet early. But yelling and people is
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: I would want to be yelled at right that people
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: cut my throat. Yeah, one day I shouldn't get but
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: I want to hear.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: I know I should finish that though, So then I
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: knew that was one of my issues. I've worked on
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: a lot of my issues over the years, and I'm like,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: you can't yell at anyone anymore. No, everyone just looks
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: at you like you're a complete other asshole what you're
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: going through? Yeah, so that that's like, that's really old
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: news the days when I was kind of, you know,
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: an asshole to to people around me, because there was
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: pure frustration. And it's also pure frustration. There was also
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: pure frustration that I was the one that had had
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: to deal with all that crap.
• 13:43
  Speaker 4: At the end of the day, your name's on the show,
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: it's coming back. So I get that.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: But I'll say this, you know, and then we can
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: move on to other things. I wish those guys nothing
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: but the best. You know. I've taken some shots here
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: and there, of course, because you know, I get an
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: avalanche of hate coming from uh, coming from coming from honestly,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: coming from Anthony. If you told me all these years
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: later that that the majority of the hate toward me
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: would be coming from the guy that we did a
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: radio show together, I would say you're insane.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: You were quiet for the longest.
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: I remember thinking, like, this stuff's coming out from that,
• 14:18
  Speaker 6: so why is an Opie saying anything? And then finally,
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: I guess you felt like you had to say and
• 14:22
  Speaker 6: you finally said everything that happened, and it's like, oh, hey,
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: here it all is.
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: But I heard Jim Mooyton say something one day.
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: He said, you know, Opie wasn't saying things on the
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: air about it, but that's why a lot of stuff
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: that ever came out out about how he was behind
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: the scenes.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: So what I'm Jimmy was no treat behind the scenes.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Anthony was no treat behind the scenes.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: They know.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't want to go. I don't want
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: to I mean, we already went into the mud. But
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, the fact is mostly hate's coming
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: from over there. I respond when I have to, but
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm just moving on. I know the Open Anthony
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Show is really important to a lot of people. Yeah,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: I understand that, and I take that very seriously. But
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: I also like living in the in the present, which
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: I'm doing now. And for some reason, you know, other
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: people associate with the radio show just they don't They
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: just don't want to let it go, you know, or

  Speaker 1: them in the house they live in the same basement.
• 16:09

• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Well, I said it on an earlier podcast, like fighting

  Speaker 1: You just you know you're right. I want to lunder
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: of them, kill them in the house.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: And they love hearing this, but it is the truth.
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: You will never win.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: If you take on a hater, you will never win.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: They'll they'll win everything them down though, you know what
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: I mean. One reason why the win is because they'll
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: just simply just lie and make all sorts of ship
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: about you and which you know is not true. And
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: you're like, huh, I can't. I can't compete with that ship.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Sof'll we move on from the stuff. Can ask you
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: one question?
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Yes?
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: So when you left and then jim and Sam took
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: over the morning show, right, you said that they that
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: they fucked you. They claim no, it just was the
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: natural progression of things.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Was it.
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: Did they really do anything? Because I don't know, but
• 16:58
  Speaker 6: did they really do anything to usurp your position and
• 17:01
  Speaker 6: take it?
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Me and Jimmy had the same agent at the time,
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: so was it your agent's fuck up? I wasn't happy
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: that he was also representing the show that was replacing me,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: and uh yeah, there was some dirty ship that was happening.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Absolutely if you.
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: Were in their position, and you were them, and then
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: they came to you and said, we can give you
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: the morning show.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: Would you have taken it? What could they have done different?
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: What could they have done?
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: But I liked you better in the afternoon.
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: I love that that version of the show was great afternoon,
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: better in the morning in the morning, But go ahead,
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: So what would you have done different?
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: If you were them? I would have never been in
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: that position because I was tight with the company. I
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: would have figured something else out because they could have
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: simply done any other shift on the on the channel.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: The whole channel was wide open. They didn't need to
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: do that. And it's a terrible position to be and
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: because you know, you got to compete against Howard and
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: everyone else. And I honestly, I honestly don't have serious anymore.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: But I don't hear any buzz on the show.
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: I almost didn't have serious anymore. I saw the charge
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: of mean twenty a.
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: Month now, really, So I called up and I was like, hey,
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: you fighted Anthony, then you fight open.
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: Officially they let me go. You'll let after after a year,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: I settled all differences with.
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: Serious excise congrats, And then I said, and then you
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: fired Nick Apollo. You literally have nobody I want to
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: listen to anymore except Jim and Sam. I'm not paying
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: twenty buck bucks a fucking months for that to cancel me.
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: And then they broke me down to fin dollars of it.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: I don't know what sal is talking about. I don't
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: know anything, but I want to see the scar they
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: gave me, the scar from Planet of the Apes. Mike,

• 27:45
  Speaker 2: little bit, want to and just enjoy you know what
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: we were able to accomplish.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Reality.
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're not gonna have me as a as
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: a big participant in it. I'm moving on and just
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: trying to I even I even wish Jimmy and Anthony
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: the best. Yeah, you know, I mean whatever, maybe some
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: day we'll sit down.
• 28:07
  Speaker 6: I don't worried you weren't going to start doing this again.
• 28:09
  Speaker 6: When you took a little while to get back.
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: It was tough. It was tough. I went through, Uh,
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: I went through some tough times. A year ago. I
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: was shocked when they let me go. It started out
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: as a firing. Now it's officially to let go. I
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: was wandering around for three months completely and utterly lost,
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: because that's all I know how to do. And then
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: I had a kind of now I'm gonna sound a little.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: I had to kind of find myself a little bit,
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: you know. So that's why I was doing a lot
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: of fishing. That's why my social media was basically it
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: was it's like it's it's kind of meditative. You should
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: look at the meditation, Mike. And then I kind of
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: got myself together with people that I really do care about,
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: my wife and my friends and uh and and family
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: and and then and then this opportunity presented itself, and
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: I knew it was time to get back into this
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: and radio.
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: You get fired a few times. It happens as a copperer.
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: I get laiter of every go, maybe twice a year.
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: And I know when I come home and tell my
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: wife I'm laid off, she gets very nervous until I
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: get another job.
• 29:07
  Speaker 4: I was always wondering when you would get laid off.
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: You had when I'm fired, or you had these little
• 29:10
  Speaker 6: stints in between two you got the next gig, was
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: your wife like ever like worried, like, uh, you know
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: what I mean.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: Like, as a man, I have to provide, so I
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: would always get scared in those moments.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: No, you have a worried or No, my wife couldn't
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: be cooler. She knows. I don't even you know. Radio
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: doesn't define me anymore. There was a time it really
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: really did. And she's like, we'll be fine no matter what.
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: She knows I like doing this, but she's no, she
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: didn't care in the in the very least. She was
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: only with me for one firing. I've been fired. I
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: don't God, I don't even know anymore with three or
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: four times.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: But I always knew we've been flying.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I always knew that there was another gig around
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: the corner. But this last time, when serious let me
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: go a year ago, I was just playing exhausted and needed.
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah there's one question.
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, do you ever have Shim Kennison on the show?
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: Dude, I do this because of Sam kitt Is in
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: you No, no, no, but hear me out because it's
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: kind of a good story. So I have my mentors.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Brother.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: We's in Rochester. He you know when I heard him
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: coming through the speakers. He's a guy that's a legend
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: in Rochester radio and known in my business big time.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, he's seventy years old and he's just
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: an animal. He drinks tequila with wine. This guy's an
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: animal for real, as he has so much energy. I
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: listened to him every morning thanks to iHeartRadio that you
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: know through their app. But so I was doing radio
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: the kind of the traditional witch, working on my voice
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: and having those golden pipes, which I never officially got,
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, but I also found it to be
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: kind of stupid.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: But I was young and.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Still trying to figure it out. And two things happened.
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: I was in my fraternity house in Geneseo and someone
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: was playing Brother Weis' show, and I'm like, what the
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: fuck is this voice coming through the speakers.
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: It was a terrible voice, rash being and it was
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: almost like he couldn't right.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Well, and but what he was saying was amazing and
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: it was way better than all these other guys with
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: the policies, with the polished voices. So that was the
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: first thing. I'm like, wait a minute, you could do
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: this very differently. You could be more yourself on the radio.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: And then, as luck would have it, I ended up
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: moving to Rochester and I worked for WCMF at the time,
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: where Weez was and We's took me under his wing.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: I'm like, now I'm hanging with the guy. This is crazy.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: And then he was friends with Sam Kinnison. Sam Kinnison
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: came in and he hung out for like. He came
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: in a few times over the years, but the one
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: time he stayed for three days and it was just
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: like four hours of Sam Kinnison and Weez on the radio.
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: I was just a young kid. I got to be
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: in the studio up on a cabinet way up near
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: the ceiling with a little video camera. I wish I
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: could find the video by the way, I love Yeah.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: So the point is though I heard Sam Kinnison and
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: I threw everything I knew out out the window. I'm like,
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: this guy is not following any formats. He doesn't care
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: who he's pissing off. He's just speaking, you know, whatever's
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: in his head at the moment. And I'm like, that's
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: what I want to do. I'm not trying to say
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: I'm funny like Sam Kinnison, but but his style and
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: how he didn't give two shot so between and but
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: That was one of those moments where a light went
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: off in my head. I'm like, I'm doing it all wrong.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: And I started to kind of take a page from
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: his book as far as that stuff goes, and then
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: continue to think. Waez is just God to.
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: Make and that's what you taught me about great radio.
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: Don't put on the fake voice. No, always be real.
• 32:25
  Speaker 6: And sometimes you gotta piss the establishment off a little
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: bit because then the fans are on your side. Then
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: you have power, you know, Yeah, which your last let
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: go right?
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: I would.
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: I thought I was gonna ask you, like, do you
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: regret taking the video? But I'm not because we all
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: do stupid shit. What I want to ask you is
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: like being a construction worker. There's two things I do,
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: comedy and construction. We're at work in the workplace. The
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: only place is we shit on each other all day
• 32:48
  Speaker 6: for fun. Right now, I know what level I could
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: go to with different guys at work because we really
• 32:52
  Speaker 6: racial shit, how we look homosexual jokes, and we love it.
• 32:56
  Speaker 6: It's it's love, you know. Now, if one of them
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: turned around and got me in trouble, I would be shocked.
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: When you got in trouble from Roland. Were you like,
• 33:04
  Speaker 6: oh my god, I thought we were cool, Like this
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: is kind of trial. Did you feel that way?
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: This Seal guy is really smart. That's exactly why I
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: was just devastating because I'm like, you know, he was
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: one of our guys in our inner circle. I hired
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: the guy, and he hung out with us all the time.
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know, besides the radio show, we would
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: hang out a lot after the show, before the show.
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: How tight he was with the man Cuban, So like,
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: now he just got the Cuban off the I think in.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: A way he was jealous of me and Carl started
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: getting close to Cuban, but we kind of but we
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: were kind of aware.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: Of that, so we weren't.
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: We try to include him and he was already included,
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: but just make sure he was cool, you know what
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: I'm saying. So yeah, that day in the bathroom, which,
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: by the way, you know the video it's just a
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: g rated video whatever. Uh. Yeah, I was completely shocked
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: because I was never gonna post it unless he told
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: me the thing was really funny, and it was so funny,
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: we're laughing our asses off. I showed Rolling the video
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: and he was even laughing, and I asked him, I
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: go roll and kind of posted. He said no, I'm like,
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: And then next thing I know, the guy's avoiding me
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: at work and I don't see him anymore. And then
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: I happen to go to another bathroom because the bathroom
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: I was in, I don't know for what. I went upstairs.
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: I forget why there was another bathroom upstairs that no
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: one really went to. And he was coming out of
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: there and I'm like, and I go, hey, roll, his
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: first time I saw him since the incident. Literally he
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: said that to me and kept walking. I'm like, what
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: is going on?
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: Manage replied, don't use that other bathroom anymore.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So next thing, you know, you know, it becomes
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: this whole thing.
• 34:36
  Speaker 4: You didn't realize that would be over the line with
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: Tim personally.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, not not not for a moment.
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: Do you think he had just out for you? Then, like,
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: this is where I can get open.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: You're gonna have to ask him.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: I can't figure out why you would.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: You could ask him a lot of people out of
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: work you can ask him, So.
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: You can ask fans. I got asked the questions.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: So the thing is that you know, you are obviously
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: a fan of the radio show. All the stuff we
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: did over the years on air, off air, in bathrooms,
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: outside everywhere. Right, that was? That was? That was, that was,
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: And I'm not trashed in the company because, like I said,
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: we have settled everything. It took a year.
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: And which choice did they have if somebody does complain
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: about that kind of thing, which choice do they.
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: Have in this culture?
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: Sure? Right, in this culture, they probably had to take
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: rollings complain very seriously. I could kind of see it
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: that way. But I also know what happened that day
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: in the bathroom. There was nothing that was worth going
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: to anyone about.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: It, which I could see that video.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: Well, I know when I first met you, guys do
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: not even know in the radio, shouldn't you at the
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: garden when you guys work with entroduce Clay.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: I just told that story on the podcast the other day.
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: I love Dice forever. I met him a couple of times.
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: The first time I met him, he was kind of
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: knucklehead to make. I met him the Caroline and he
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: was like, you know what, Florantine introdution ME goes, sure
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: you were comic? Pret am I supposed to do about that?
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: I was like, for years, I was a huge fan
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: of his. I'm like, what a knucklehead he is. Right then,
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: I seen him like on Brewis radio show. Right then
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: he became a friendly to me. But then when he
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: was an audio show with me, he said one of
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: the best things I could ever hear as a comic.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: He goes, I've been watching I watched show all night.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: He goes, I'm a huge span of yours now, wow,

• 36:25
  Speaker 2: but he's a good guy. Is awesome.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: He's a good family man. Because he was telling us that,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: like people are like, you know, where'd you go for
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: all these years when he took time off, he goes,

  Speaker 1: He's just the regular guy like you are. And the
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: thing is, everybody thinks they gave him a hard time
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: at night, so I righte it wrong you of course right,
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: the suits hated him, but you know what the bottom
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: line in his edge, your fans will kick the doors open. Yeah,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: the suits are sucking and unnecessary evil, and he put
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: me on that Madison Square garden seat. I'll never I
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: remember that.
• 36:59
