Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Jimmy King's jukes.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Look it back to the United States of Australia. Yes,
we are hitting the goal this week and coming back
after a week off joining me is just Josh, you
ready to hit the goal?

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Just Josh, I'm ready to hit the goal. Arsie, Let's
do it. Yes, I'm glad to be back this week and.

Speaker 4 (00:47):
See that we don't have a potato or a ir
corn on here.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
Or a pineapple. Yes.

Speaker 2 (00:56):
No, Echo has been great though he has been on
the show. We would certainly do more with Echo Pineapple.
He's a good dude. Also joining us back again this
week after another trip to see the Red Hot Chili Peppers,
a man who went talking about hitting the goal. The
goal is usually his anus. Robbie the Marina fan. How
you doing.

Speaker 5 (01:17):
I was happy for a second because I was reflecting
on the Red Hot Schiliop Peppers concert, and then he
just took it right back to.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
Put it in the hole. He put it in the hole.

Speaker 1 (01:27):
Just came up with that one on the spot too,
while I was talking about hitting Grats and grats.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Thank you and our very special guest this week, a
man who has got the goal on his mind. It's
all about the goal. He's also a man who successfully
had this well, I had the correct information. I guess
a man that should do his victory lap for telling
us all the stuttering John was going to sell his house.

(01:53):
From the Blind Mic Project, it's blind Mike, Gary, how
are you doing man?

Speaker 6 (01:57):
Thank you for having me boys, it's nice to talk
about that. Hopefully we can talk about things other than
the goal. Well, I have time, yes, just a few minutes.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
But are you gonna take your victory lap? You go
do that on your show tomorrow.

Speaker 6 (02:08):
I'm not allowed to on my show tomorrow unless the
chat or a guest brings it up.

Speaker 2 (02:13):
But point well, Carl said he's coming on, So hopefully
Carl will bring up the fact that you were correct
Jon's house.

Speaker 7 (02:22):
I'm sure it'll get brought up.

Speaker 6 (02:23):
But it is amazing that we can now just will
things in John's life into existence.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
It's incredible.

Speaker 7 (02:32):
We're we're pulling his marionette strings. It's crazy.

Speaker 6 (02:36):
Like I was lying, I said on every podcast I
did that, I'm lying. I don't have any insight into
whether or not John's going to sell his house.

Speaker 7 (02:43):
And then he did it within six days.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
Once he point double point and as they all kind
of realized and they and then they looked at the
date and the like it was like six days off,
Like this is incredible.

Speaker 7 (02:59):
And it's wild.

Speaker 6 (03:00):
What's really crazy to me is to watch a man like,
in my mind, when someone says I'm going I'm reporting
you to the FBI and I'm filing a lawsuit against you,
I don't believe that I wasn't I There was never
an instance where I was like, I'm going to spend
the rest of my days in prison after John has
his way with me. But there is part of me

(03:22):
that's like, well, he's saying it so often that certainly
something will happen. There's going to be a day where
I walk into my house and a process server meets me,
Like something's going to come of this.

Speaker 7 (03:34):
It has to.

Speaker 6 (03:35):
But then, like when you watch him and I'm just
lying about having knowledge that he's selling his house.

Speaker 7 (03:41):
And he's so insistently saying that's ridiculous. These people are crazy.
Look at the lies they come up with, and then
he's actually doing it behind the scenes.

Speaker 6 (03:50):
It's wild to watch that much of a liar go
down in flames and such.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
A bad liar, and nim Old has the same traits
where but Aaron, uh, well, John thinks he's clever, but yeah,
Aaron certainly thinks he's clever, and he just trips himself
up constantly like go you know, contradicts things he said before.
So it's fascinating between the two of them. They've kind
of been having a stoush back and forth over the

(04:19):
last couple of months as Aaron gets some attention for
his swinging behavior and then John will do something stupid,
and then something will happen over at Steeltee, and then
John will do something stupid.

Speaker 1 (04:29):
You know, it's a battle for attention.

Speaker 6 (04:32):
I guess I've learned my lesson from the first time
I said like, I'm done talking about stuttering John, where
like but I meant it when I said it, where
I was like, I'm sick of fucking talking about this guy.
And then it got to a point where I was like, well,
I'm interested, I'm still watching him. Why why am I
depriving myself of talking about it on my show? But

(04:54):
there is a constant on the back of my head
where I'm like, I don't want my fucking show to
be just Aaron and John coverage. But I find them
so fascinating that like, I'm the real many like me, Carl, Tuki,
You guys, we're the maniacs of course, because we're sane

(05:15):
and have gotten caught up in this. They're crazy like
they can't help themselves. But the same people are the
ones that are to blame here.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah no, yeah, and it takes the same people to
make it all work though, but no, And it's funny,
like just Carl going from like I was going back
through some of the old Stuttering John archives and going
from like where Kyl would be like I haven't listened
to Stuttering John all week, you know, like he would

(05:45):
just be pulling clips every now and then something big happened,
whereas Kyle now he doesn't stop, you know, like.

Speaker 7 (05:52):
It's his job.

Speaker 2 (05:52):
Yeah, yes, yeah, yeah exactly. So yeah, it's it is
all fascinating. So let's let's get into it. The a
goal Actually, if we're gonna do it, we're talking steel toe.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
I gotta do it. Let's get into it.

Speaker 8 (06:06):
I don't give a fuck if everyone else did everything.
Aaron's boring and April adds nothing, it's gonna be great.
We're scripping this morning. Come on, it's time for it's
time for. It's time for movie and the scramp. It's
time for it's time for it's time for movie.

Speaker 7 (06:26):
And the scramp.

Speaker 8 (06:27):
It's gonna be it's gonna be mediocre media over it, Buck,
It's time far, it's time for.

Speaker 7 (06:36):
It's time for movie and the scramp.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yes, it is time maybe in the Scrimp Steel Toe.
So you've become obsessed with the goal blind Mic. You know,
I've been catching every one of your blind My Project
segments on the on Steel Toe, and I've caught you
on that's who he actually when he first discovered it

(07:01):
on take well, you know not you were in the
beginnings of discovering the goal.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
I just loved you, just like have some dignity man Like.
It was just it was this guttural reaction.

Speaker 2 (07:14):
So tell us about how this has evolved and what
you've got planned for tomorrow.

Speaker 6 (07:18):
My my journey with Aaron was like I never had
a problem with him.

Speaker 7 (07:25):
I don't have a problem with him now, but like, uh, I.

Speaker 6 (07:28):
Watched I think the first thing I saw of his
was he interviewed Kuma and I forget what it was
about at the time, but I remember thinking like he
did a good job, and I think I messaged him
and I was like, oh, like maybe I like this show.
But then he's like the topics he talked about I
never really got into. But in my mind he was
always a decent broadcaster, Like that's how I thought of him.

(07:53):
But I did always I was and I would mention
it here and there on my show where I was like,
he does do this weird where he's raising money every day.
I don't really understand it, but like you know, to
each their own whatever, whatever. I didn't really pay attention
to it, but I have always found that weird. And
then when people were talking about all this stuff with

(08:13):
April and Nick Ricada and all that, like, I found
that drama very interesting. But my real takeaway from watching
some of those episodes was like, while all this is
going on, while his life is crumbling around him, like
I try and think of being in that situation and

(08:33):
still taking out the time to say, come on, guys,
rumble rants please.

Speaker 7 (08:41):
That's the real madness to it.

Speaker 2 (08:44):
No, it's insane, and I totally understand what you're saying
in the beginning. So yeah, I'll be following w LA's
onions for eighteen months and in the beginning with Aaron.
I listened a little bit. He started doing some stuttering
John's stuff. He's he got me on somewhim and so
I started listening. I'm like, yeah, this.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
Guy's a competent broadcaster, but I'm.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
Just not into this. This is not yeah, you know, yeah,
it's not my thing.

Speaker 1 (09:11):
And I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Obviously, the whole swinging thing happened, but just slowly over time,
and I think it has a bit to do with
Patrick Milton. He'll deny it, but I think Patrick Milton
had a lot to do with how his show has devolved.
But then also obviously the wife swapping and all that.
It's incredible that he walked into a situation with his
wife and walked out without her and then tries to

(09:35):
talk about how that has a win for the Tell
you look like you had something to say there.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
Make well.

Speaker 6 (09:41):
I don't want to bore your audience, because I'm sure
the people who listening to you know this already. But
can you tell me what's the origin of like Patrick
Melton really seems to hate him.

Speaker 7 (09:50):
Is there something there or is it just a.

Speaker 2 (09:52):
Literally what happened was he stumbled across it because him
a Steelte and Chad were and Melton started watching this
feud and in the beginning Melton said, Aaron is crushing
Chad here.

Speaker 1 (10:07):
You know, that was Melton's original take.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
And then Aaron did the backpedal and was pulling out
of it and said, oh, you know, this has gotten
too personal, and that's where Melton went, oh, what a bitch,
And so then he started really zooming in on Aaron.
And when you zoom in on Aaron, there's a lot
of problems even back then what Melton was pointing out,
and I mean particularly the goal and how much he

(10:31):
talks about the goal. But yeah, that was kind of
it just became this thing that Melton just decided this
is a guy and you know, similar to stuttering John
for Carl and Shuley, and that it just became his thing.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
He's like, I'm gonna fuck with this show.

Speaker 6 (10:46):
Good for Melton because, like I said, like when the
first instance you hear stuttering John, you know there's something
off about this guy.

Speaker 7 (10:53):
But for some.

Speaker 6 (10:54):
Reason, like me and Carl in particular, I feel like
got completely duped by Carl. Carl mar I think Carl
was like friends of them yeah, so he fooled us
pretty good. But like, like, good for Patrick for picking
up on that. But like, there is a thing where
I get shipped on my show sometimes where I say

(11:15):
things like I don't really give a fuck about Aaron's
personal life, or like stuttering John, I always say like
I don't like the idea of Kate Meanie recording him
without his knowledge, Like I don't think that's something we
should all like celebrate, and people like say, I'm trying
to be like, you know, high and mighty or holier
than now or something like that, and it's not I

(11:37):
just try to live by like I wouldn't want that
done to me. So like I'm not supri into going
way into Aaron's personal.

Speaker 7 (11:43):
Life, but he's the one putting it out there.

Speaker 6 (11:47):
So it's hard for me to blame these guys for
talking about it when Aaron's like, here, guys, here, here
it is, here's my entire life.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Well, and that's the whole thing, because they even with
the swinging like Patrick had it, you know, and a
lot of us had had it sust months in advance,
because they're not subtle at all. But like, as Patrick's
point out in a Million Times, is. We wouldn't know
any about anything about the CD details of the Rikada
situation without Aaron blurting it all over the internet. Right
the Rickatas haven't said a word. I who hasn't said

(12:16):
a word. This is all come from Aaron Mholt. He
can't keep his mouth shut. Josh, you were checking out
some steel Toe this week. How familiar are you with
the goal? Do you understand the goal?

Speaker 3 (12:27):
I sort of understand the goal. And now after talking
with you last night.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
But three hours of my life I will not get
back watching the Rikada multi arrest report.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
Oh my god Jesus, but no.

Speaker 4 (12:40):
I've got an idea of like I said, watching it,
it's always about the super chats, the hell two bucks,
I'll read your five bucks, you know, get.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
Rid immediately, ten bucks, whatever, sharing clips, shit.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
I feel like Fridays.

Speaker 4 (12:55):
Yeah, like I said, I checked out a show yesterday
and then it was only like twenty minutes and then
I was like, we're going to rumble.

Speaker 6 (13:01):
I was like, okay, well, I like that some amounts
have the full So let's say the let's say there's
one hundred dollars left on the goal movie, like when
someone donates twenty dollars. Sometimes he wipes away twenty dollars,
so the goal is now eighty dollars away. But sometimes
he's like, all right, so that's ten dollars towards the goal.

(13:23):
Yes' I've never figured out his math system.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
This is one where I do kind of understand what
he means. A lot of people don't get it. So
what he does with super chats, because YouTube takes thirty
percent sure of all your superchats or whatever, so he
only counts what's like what he's getting towards the goal.

Speaker 9 (13:46):
Like that we owe him that too, exactly, Yes, exactly, yeah,
because that's the other thing, like just make the goal
higher then and count everything that comes in.

Speaker 1 (13:57):
You know, he like, don't do this math on the fly.
But what he says he does.

Speaker 2 (14:01):
He's like, so if someone gives ten, like he that's seven,
so he counts five, right, But then when someone gives five,
he'll count the whole five because that makes up the
little gap that it was. It's that's kind of what
he's trying to Robbie, does any of this make sense
to you at all?

Speaker 5 (14:19):
Yeah? Yeah, I was, Uh, the chat had kind of
seducted me there for a second.

Speaker 7 (14:30):
Keep going.

Speaker 1 (14:31):
Now, that's fine, That's what I mean.

Speaker 6 (14:33):
Though, I blame you for knowing that, Like Aaron's an
insane man.

Speaker 7 (14:37):
The fact that you know this.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
You're I'm someone that listens to people when they explain
things to you know, and I try and understand what
they're trying to tell me. No, I got it.

Speaker 5 (14:49):
I just it took me a second to the goal
him with the thirty YouTube.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
It just Yeah, that's the thing if if he gets
it through paper, how PayPal doesn't take thirty So all
of that gets counted towards the goal. And that's the thing, Mike.
Obviously you're blind, you wouldn't know any different. But Aaron
doesn't bring to super chats on the screen. Oh, he
never brings him up on the screen. He just reads
them out of the chat. And that is so Aaron

(15:18):
can edit the chats.

Speaker 1 (15:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (15:20):
I was gonna say, like, does that mean like ever
super chat he doesn't like he just cannot read.

Speaker 2 (15:24):
It then yeah, basically, or he'll edit it like so
he'll change, he'll he'll get sort of maybe the point across,
but he won't detail.

Speaker 7 (15:36):
And you've seen him do this where you're reading, Yeah,
and it's something different.

Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yeah. Yeah. People have posted many clips where the super
chat is in the chat and then you hear what
Aaron says and you're like, that's not what that's it.

Speaker 7 (15:49):
I didn't know that. That's great.

Speaker 1 (15:50):
Yeah, yeah, and there's definitely people have definitely accused him
of using them as a donation.

Speaker 2 (16:00):
Like so they've joined the chat, they've made no donation,
but their name gets read out as oh, such and
such donated five bucks and they're like, no, I didn't,
When did I do that?

Speaker 5 (16:10):
So sort of like guilps them and the EF he
reads their thing to try to make them pay or
something or.

Speaker 2 (16:16):
Yeah, he just makes it up out out of nowhere,
Like it's it's so bizarre.

Speaker 1 (16:21):
I don't know what's going on, but it's.

Speaker 7 (16:22):
Just so much different than I realized.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
Yeah, I've got the benefit of we've lost Robbie.

Speaker 2 (16:29):
Yeah, I've got the bettertfit of being able to see
these things. Mike, You're unfortunate in that respect, yes.

Speaker 1 (16:34):
Yeah, but do we do we want to head over.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
We'll watch a little bit of Aaron trying to hit
your goal. At the end of the show. I picked
the a random steel toe from this.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
Sharle closed their Robbie, no donating.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
I don't have much donut ye on, Yeah, here we go.

Speaker 10 (16:56):
We got a little bit of a rally starting four
minutes away total failure or overtime total failure, because I'm
feeling like i'd like an ange in the time around
the last one, fire too quickly on poors, there's fail
going on. Thank you for the ten dollars one forty

(17:18):
five away from today?

Speaker 1 (17:20):
All right, Jesus, I want to pozzle there like you
laughed up. I love that he sets himself up for
this every episode. He's like, we're five minutes away from
a successful, complete off, utter annihilation.

Speaker 3 (17:37):
What is the kid's not gonna eat today or something?

Speaker 6 (17:41):
But again to put that on your audience, like you've failed,
you know, like it's it's Aaron's failing, not the audiences,
you know what I mean. Like I'm lucky enough to
make a living off of like my Patreon and YouTube
and shit like that. If I didn't, which is a
very real possibility that I couldn't pay my bills based

(18:03):
on my dumb podcast. That's not your guy's fault for
not giving me money. And I haven't figured out a
way for people to be interested enough to pay.

Speaker 7 (18:11):
Me what's his like?

Speaker 5 (18:15):
Can't what's he talk about to get people to originally
watch it? If that makes any sense, So they would.

Speaker 1 (18:22):
Pay a goal like other than money was the point
of the shows that we're asking.

Speaker 6 (18:25):
Him, Yeah, there we go.

Speaker 1 (18:27):
You wanted it much better than I.

Speaker 2 (18:28):
Okay, yes, look, the goal consumes the show. But what
it is is he's about to have his tenth anniversary party.
So he's been a show for ten years now. Six
of that was on radio. He's an old radio guy
and he loves to tell everyone that he's an old
radio guy. And so the last four years he's been

(18:50):
on the internet. So his show is basically an old
morning radio show. He's basically he's he's trying to be
opening Anthony of two thousand and seven. Oh, he doesn't
have Anthony's comedian ability, and he's kind of.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
Saw just atrocious and not Jim Norton.

Speaker 10 (19:11):
We're inside of striking distance at least. Now we've got
four minutes left. Come on, boys and girls, get that
one forty five taken care of so we don't take
one of those embarrassing l's and then the evening show
comes up big the rest of the day and then
fucking rest so.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
We don't take one of those embarrassing l's what's more
embarrassing to what you're currently doing? Tight to be.

Speaker 6 (19:32):
I'm sure you've noticed this, but what my favorite part
of some of his rhetoric is that he separates. He
pins the evening audience against the morning audience A.

Speaker 7 (19:48):
Thousand people or what.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
Did you have something, Rubbi? Sorry now, not that time.

Speaker 5 (19:57):
I was just thinking it was funny because don't wouldn't
he want people to watch both?

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Like it?

Speaker 7 (20:04):
Yeah, I was just laughing at what blind mics. Yeah,
well he's like, He's.

Speaker 6 (20:07):
Like, guys, you know then that even the evening crowd,
they've been talking a lot of shmack about you guys
in the mornings. They say they're hitting the goal every night,
and you guys in the mornings, you're not picking up
your end of the bargain because Aaron, who do you
think is watching?

Speaker 7 (20:24):
Who you fooling?

Speaker 3 (20:26):
That's as a day shift man, there's a lot of
people working versus the night shift.

Speaker 6 (20:32):
But the idea that in the morning you're like, oh,
come on, guys, quit talking all that nonsense about me.

Speaker 7 (20:38):
I give here's twenty Aaron tell him to shut up.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Right, he's uh, he's a massive one forty five away.
I think, so this looks like it's gonna be tough.

Speaker 10 (20:50):
Excuse we can't do it like that truck or eighteen
wheeler with five bucks says, I will not donate if
you don't give me a Spanish broad again.

Speaker 7 (20:59):
The this is, it's taken on a life of its.

Speaker 10 (21:02):
Own, one forty one forty away from today, ninety bucks
away from getting overtime on credit.

Speaker 7 (21:09):
It can if the goals done. Feel bad?

Speaker 1 (21:14):
It is, and what I also love is getting over
time on credit. I'll give you this thirty minutes, but
you fucking owe me fifty bucks. Phenomenal. We'll do a
little bit more of this and then we'll move on
to other things.

Speaker 7 (21:32):
You can still get this one, my man. We can
still get this Mso don't you feel bad.

Speaker 10 (21:38):
Chevy Fans has all steel toe donations go to Erin
so we can buy little Saint James Island.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
This is not true.

Speaker 7 (21:44):
Three minutes away, stream.

Speaker 10 (21:46):
Laps, PayPal, Venmo, super chats, Rumble rants, and you have
a quested numberships.

Speaker 1 (21:52):
Make it happen, kids.

Speaker 6 (21:53):
I don't want to interrupt all the options because it's
good to remind everyone in case.

Speaker 7 (21:58):
I need to know this for tomorrow because I'll be going.

Speaker 6 (22:00):
I'm sure I'll be going to this clip and every
other clip from the goal in the last couple of weeks.

Speaker 7 (22:05):
MSO seems to be his fanos. Yes, his art rival.

Speaker 5 (22:12):
Who is?

Speaker 7 (22:12):
Should I know who that is?

Speaker 1 (22:14):
No, nobody knows who it is, just the guy in
the chat. It's just the guy in the chat.

Speaker 2 (22:20):
We don't know if it's possibly even affiliated with them,
like in terms of one of the people you know
related to Aaron or something.

Speaker 6 (22:30):
Okay, because that's actually a good theory, because I've noticed
it's like, come on, guys, don't let MSO win, as
if he stands to gain anything from the goal not
being met.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
The other thing would be that MSO is all of
us because you know, Aaron says, we're all devastated when
he hits the gal.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
That breaks our heart.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
It makes us angry when he hits the goal, and
we're all always happy when he misses the goal. And
it's like, well, we are happy when you miss the
goal because it'shilarious to what she sadly end your show,
Uh missing the goal.

Speaker 6 (23:05):
I don't I like when he hits the goal. Also
the only thing that happen. It's not an episode of
steal Tope. You need the countdown. You know, you can
hit the goal in the last five seconds, you can
miss it, you can come close, whatever. I don't care
about the result, but you need the journey.

Speaker 7 (23:20):
I need to have my gut wrenched out of me.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
Yes, I agree with that.

Speaker 2 (23:24):
If someone if I hit the goal an hour out
from the end of the show, well that's that's point.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
Yeah, there's no point watching this anymore. All right, As
the last little thing, let's let's get forward a little
bit because obviously I've picked.

Speaker 2 (23:38):
An episode where he missed the goal because it's only
four minutes. So let's go forward a couple of minutes.

Speaker 1 (23:44):
Let's say thirty seconds.

Speaker 10 (23:46):
We can do seconds lamp Shady with five bucks, take
it to all the closed private groups on Facebook like
I did. That's not a thing one oh five away
from knocking it out. Today, we've got ten seconds left,
can we get there? Nine eight, seven, six, so arbitrary
four three, two and one.

Speaker 7 (24:10):
All right, let's take a look did we do it?

Speaker 10 (24:13):
And then let's decide if I want to keep going
like we did last Monday, what and say, fuck Side
ju Ju says, are the dead ones, it's out of
your hands. Erin uh Coltrane, I changed my mind. I
want a Latina chick. They make better food.

Speaker 7 (24:30):
Cancel.

Speaker 1 (24:33):
I'm just gonna keep reading the cat till some times.

Speaker 7 (24:35):
All right, time is up. I think we might call
this one a W for m s O. You know
what I mean, entity MSO is winning.

Speaker 10 (24:47):
What does the audience say, keep going with one oh
five and do a half hour for us and we'll
take care of the rest of it.

Speaker 7 (24:52):
Or yeah, that's what they're saying. They're saying, please eron,
keep going. I just need a little more time to
donate to you.

Speaker 10 (24:59):
I'll let them side add the cuts, add the cuts
back in and Tally says dead game.

Speaker 7 (25:07):
One of the people said by it comes up at
the show. Yeah, it's the trafficking deal.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
It's really, it's really Unfortunately, it's just sad.

Speaker 7 (25:19):
Uh J Bross says ms O with a flawless victory.

Speaker 1 (25:23):
He really did, man, he got it. Check faith out
one more time.

Speaker 10 (25:26):
Ms O got the W today missed by a Hundo,
a goddamn Honda, which isn't bad.

Speaker 7 (25:34):
A Honda is not the end of the world. I
wonder if the community is going to like Ratty together
to have mso jailed for his the chaos he's created.

Speaker 1 (25:45):
Uh so that is Steelte's goal.

Speaker 2 (25:48):
He missed it on that particular occasion, and it's been
brought up before, Mike, and I think you've certainly mentioned it.
Why put yourself in that position every day to end
your show like that, like potentially end your show like that.

Speaker 6 (26:01):
Right, Yeah, just just like don't mention it, and you
could set up a Patreon or you know, you have
YouTube members, like, have some sort of sustainable thing and
if you don't meet it, either maybe you will one
day or.

Speaker 7 (26:16):
Just get a fucking job, Aaron. It's not up to
us to fund this podcast.

Speaker 1 (26:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
And I was listening to talk about because he's getting,
you know, supposedly getting back into radio and he's talking
about sales in radio, and the more he was talking
about it, I was like this, literally, like, you're not
interested in entertaining people like he thinks he's naturally an entertainer.
Oh yeah, and he doesn't need to try. He's not
actually interested in being entertaining. All he cares about is

(26:46):
the money. Because even going back to radio He's just
talking about how I want to sell all these ads
and you know, make all this money selling ads for radio,
and it's like, all right, maybe just do a fun
show that you claim to do.

Speaker 1 (26:59):
Sorry, Rubbie's just brought up a chat. He wants me
to raid.

Speaker 2 (27:03):
He says he'sy on the cape in at one hundred account.
Imo has made him failing on camera the funniest part
of his show. Why would anyone want to do anything else.

Speaker 5 (27:13):
He's like, incentivize people not to give him money, which
is yeah, very.

Speaker 3 (27:17):
True, Yes, it is.

Speaker 6 (27:19):
It is great because I've watched him, really because I
had to cut every fucking or timestamp every fucking goal
in the last two weeks, yes, for tomorrow's show, So
I watched him. It's interesting to do it in that
way because I watched the progression over the days and
I was watching him slowly realize like, if I continue
to do a show, I don't think I can ever

(27:40):
abandon the goal because it's what people are talking about.
And that's a fascinating realization for him to have, because
even if he's not hitting the goal, it's the central part.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
Of his show. Now, it's who he is. That is cool.

Speaker 7 (28:00):
It's everything about.

Speaker 2 (28:01):
Them, all right, we'll get let everyone know. Let's get
everyone on the day sails of what you're doing tomorrow
with your goal.

Speaker 1 (28:09):
What is the goal? What is the plan?

Speaker 6 (28:12):
So tomorrow at ten am, we are hitting the goal
over on the blind Mic Project channel. If you don't
subscribe yet, go subscribe, get in the chat tomorrow. You know,
we accept Venmo and PayPal and gifted memberships and Rumble rants.
But the goal is ten thousand dollars. So I heard

(28:32):
Carl say that I'm not broad, I'm not getting off
until i hit ten thousand dollars. That's not true. Because
I've watched all these air and clips. I've learned these
people need to be punished. So I'll fucking end when
I say we're done. If you guys don't hit ten
thousand dollars, we're done. When I say we're done, Do
you understand me? So I'll pull the plug on this
whole fucking thing. If you guys are donating, so make

(28:55):
sure you get in early and often.

Speaker 1 (28:58):
That's great. I love the bulls on it. I think
it's going.

Speaker 2 (29:01):
Look, I've seen some Melton streams where he's racked up,
you know, three four five thousand dollars on a stream.
It's not beyond the realm of possibility that you could
pull this off tomorrow. What's your confidence level.

Speaker 7 (29:18):
If the people pay their debts what they owe me.
I've been broadcasting for many years now. You know you
guys have consumed my content.

Speaker 6 (29:26):
So I would just say, if you're watching this right now,
calculate the joy that I've given you in your head,
come up with a number, and just pay your penance.

Speaker 1 (29:34):
Give what you are. That's perfect.

Speaker 2 (29:38):
But I don't see how anyone could calculate that wrong.
Walker to five h eight and you know, I say,
did you get your NLO hat?

Speaker 1 (29:47):
Not yet? Not yet.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Much controversy on Nobody Likes Onions last night as like
as Patrick was going into a rant about Aaron not
being able to send something to Canada, and I just
chirped in with calm down.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Melton, I still haven't got my hats. And Milton did
fifteen minutes on me, ranting on me about being ungrateful
and how I'm a piece of shit.

Speaker 10 (30:12):
It was.

Speaker 1 (30:12):
It was fantastic, right, well, not radio, but you know
what I mean.

Speaker 10 (30:15):
It was.

Speaker 1 (30:16):
It was very highly entertaining for me. Other than the
blatant lies. It was highly entertaining his rant on me,
All right, let's let's kick. I was going to do
a goal today, but I actually don't want to embarrass us,
and I was like, I was going to set it lower.
I was going to set out like fifty bucks, but
like even that, like it just after you want to

(30:37):
say fifteen Yeah, I put it on a card.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
After watching that, Aaron Klippers like, how can you beg
for money? But I will say PayPal dot me slash
sussy guy one time. I'm going to put a call
out for the goal of fifty bucks if you guys
want to hit our goal. But otherwise we're moving on. Because, Mike,
one of the big reasons I got you on this
show is because I started listening to what has become Well,

(31:08):
I've run out of episodes and I'm flirting with joining
your Patreon.

Speaker 1 (31:11):
Actually, but why are you laughing? Is one of your
is your other podcast.

Speaker 2 (31:17):
Outside of the Blind Mike Project? Give us an indicatate,
like what like brought the idea on? And like just
give a quick summation of what it's all about.

Speaker 6 (31:32):
I think if I remember, I was listening to an
episode of Bill Simmons Rewatchables podcast, and I was like, Oh,
there's not really anything like that for comedy, like a
history of or if there is, I wasn't aware of
it really. I think I've seen more YouTube channels like
kind of start to do stuff like that, which I

(31:54):
like the idea that comedy is a much more mainstream thing.
But that's the reason I wanted to start the podcast
was I was, I think of stand up as it's like,
to me as big an art form as film, television, music,
any of that shit, Yet there's not like the culture
around it as much. So I just like talking about

(32:15):
a lot of those topics. It was Originally I was like,
maybe I'll do like album and special reviews, like the
first episode is uh Andronized Class the Day the Day
that Laughter Died. But I liked more a lot of
the storyline episodes we did or just a life of
a common like we've done uh norm getting fired from

(32:36):
SNL and stuff like that. So those are the episodes
I ended up being more interested in. But yeah, and
I just like doing it. Now we're we've taken a
bit of a hiatus, but it's back on Patreon and
we'll be back out for free at the end of
the month.

Speaker 1 (32:52):
I believe excellent.

Speaker 2 (32:54):
Yeah, I do you like Norm does seem to be
a favorite of yours, And I do love that you
shoe horn Norm into just.

Speaker 1 (33:01):
About every episode anytime I can. Yeah. Yeah, Is Norm
is Norman your favorite? Probably?

Speaker 7 (33:09):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (33:09):
Probably if you're judging purely on stand up, I don't
know if he would be number one, but like the
amount of stuff he has out there, Like Norm McDonald
Live is.

Speaker 7 (33:20):
One of my favorite shows ever, definitely my favorite talk show.

Speaker 6 (33:25):
The amount of content, Like if you go to that,
I'm not Norm McDonald channel, there's just Norm talking about
every subject, like anything that's big in the news Norm
has touched on.

Speaker 7 (33:36):
Basically.

Speaker 6 (33:36):
That's why I'm able to like shoehorn him in at
the end of every episode because he's talked about things
so often and he always has such a unique, brilliant
take on things or hilarious slant. So Norm's probably my
favorite personality in comedy, if.

Speaker 1 (33:53):
That makes sense. Yeah. What I love about Norm is
he could go from one extreme to the other light.

Speaker 2 (33:58):
He can be so incredible subtle that if you blink
you'll miss it, but then he can just stuff something
in your face.

Speaker 1 (34:07):
Beat you over the head.

Speaker 7 (34:08):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah still and like.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
They're both equally brilliant. Yep. So yeah, I really love
that about Norm. I do you have a favorite Norm
moment from over the years.

Speaker 6 (34:22):
I don't know about one single one, Like some of
his Conan appearances are my favor you know. The first
one that comes to mind is when Conan's getting fired
from the Tonight Show and like that was a huge controversy, obviously,
and very public feud between Conan and Leno and NBC.

(34:44):
UH and Conan came out, I'm sorry, Norm came out
on one of Conan's last shows with a gift basket
and Conan's like, wow, you probably a gift to commemorate
like the end of my run on the Night Show.
And Norm's like, well, that's not what this is. And
he reads a note that he wrote at the beginning
of his that was supposed to be for his first

(35:04):
day on the Tonight Show, and it's like anything anything
less than UH success would be a miserable miserable failure is.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
Not an option.

Speaker 6 (35:13):
Yeah, like ship like that normous show brilliant that like
obviously the people love the moth joke that he told
I'm Conan, but like, I think his Conan appearances are
the greatest talk show appearances of any guests ever.

Speaker 2 (35:27):
Yeah, they were phenomenal. I think one of the stand
out lines in that as well was well, you're the
host of the tonight show. Nobody can ever take that
away from you.

Speaker 7 (35:36):
Something they can never take away from you.

Speaker 6 (35:40):
Just man.

Speaker 1 (35:40):
My favorite, one of my favorite NORLMS jokes of all
time was that his child's would trophy. That's something they
can never take away from you unless you kill your
wife and a waiter. Then off.

Speaker 2 (35:57):
Again the bulls of the man to just you know,
the all the OJ jokes during the Weekend Update, all
of that.

Speaker 1 (36:04):
That pretty much was the reason he got fired, right.

Speaker 6 (36:08):
Uh essentially, Yeah, And I've heard Norm talk about it
later where he was like.

Speaker 7 (36:14):
He's like, well, also if you go back, and which
this is true.

Speaker 6 (36:17):
Norm bombed a lot on Weekend Update because I don't
think that audience necessarily got him, so, like there's a
lot of clips of Norm telling hilarious joke that doesn't
get a reaction from the crowd really, so I think
in his mind he kind of just realized like they
also just didn't get what he was doing oh J.
It was a big part of it for sure, but

(36:38):
I think they just wanted to move on in general.

Speaker 2 (36:41):
Yeah, agreed, Yeah, Now, Norm was fantastic, and I love
the stuff you do with Norm with a lot of
the end life because obviously I went through with your
back catalog.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
It's like, oh, yeah, I know that guy. I know
that guy.

Speaker 2 (36:53):
I want to hear about this stuff. But it is
actually the episodes where on my like, for example, I
don't know, like the Three Stooges or you know, some
of the other sort of old time the names that
escape me now, but you know, the more old fashioned comics.
Lady Bruce was fascinating as well of a ton of
respect for that man. They would tend to be the
most interesting because you don't know about as much about them, they.

Speaker 7 (37:16):
Lived more interesting lives.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
Sorry, go ahead, yeah, no, sorry. I was just gonna say,
do you find those episodes more fun or like, because
it does seem to come across that way where you're
all kind of learning.

Speaker 6 (37:26):
Yeah, yeah, like Lenny Bruce, Jackie Gleason, Bob Newhart, like
a lot of those older guys.

Speaker 7 (37:33):
A I don't know a ton about.

Speaker 6 (37:35):
Going into researching the episode, but they just lived more
interesting a lit Like a lot of these guys served
in war and like you know, had battled with drugs
and all kinds of crazy shit, whereas now like a
comedy career is more.

Speaker 7 (37:50):
Formulaic, like that the road map has been drawn out.

Speaker 6 (37:54):
But when you're talking about like Lenny Bruce, he literally
drew the map for everyone, you know what I mean, Like,
there is no one like that before Lennie Bruce, and
now that's kind of the road that everyone takes essentially
in some former fashion. So yeah, I find a lot
of those guys to be more interesting.

Speaker 1 (38:13):
Yeah, for sure, I love those episodes.

Speaker 2 (38:16):
I don't know if you guys want to chime in
with any comedy questions, if you've got any of your
favorites he wanted to ask about. But who for you, Like,
I know, I've certainly heard you talk about in high
regard the likes of Luis c K, Dave Chappelle and
all that. For you personally, who is sort of your
top couple greatest of all time from a stand ups perspective.

Speaker 6 (38:38):
Yeah, Norman Louis, I mean, like Chappelle is. I think
killing Them Softly might be my favorite special of all time,
but Chappelle is I feel like, slid down the list
a little bit, just there's something like there's some stuff
I don't get.

Speaker 7 (38:54):
He wears, you know, a C on his coat for
Chappelle and.

Speaker 6 (38:58):
Refer to himself as the Goat and just shows up
at a rant on stage drunk for hours, and like
there's some stuff where I'm like, you're just doing this
because you're Dave Chappelle. If anyone else did it, no
one will put up with it. So like, I love Chappelle.
I think he's one of the greatest. Everybody slid a
couple spots down my list probably, and a guy who
I think is like super underrated that I think will

(39:20):
have like a carl And esque reputation, maybe not till
after he dies, but I think Colin Quinn is genuinely
like one of the greatest minds ever in comedy.

Speaker 2 (39:32):
Yeah, I remember watching A Tough Crowd back and you know,
the early two thousands there. That was early days of
me getting cable and we started getting stuff like, yeah,
The Tonight Show and stuff from Comedy Central and all.

Speaker 1 (39:46):
That, and yeah, I remember watching all those comedians.

Speaker 2 (39:49):
It was interesting later on when I discovered Opi and
Anthony to then realize, oh, I was actually watching these
comedians on this show previously, and I understand why Opi
and Anthony and another one of the Grits is Patris O'Neil,
and I know you love to do you know, like
every year on the anniversary of his death or his birthday,
I forget which one.

Speaker 6 (40:10):
The anniversary of his death. Yeah, and I think this
year we're gonna do. Actually, what I think is might
be the best episode of Oping Anthony ever was the
day after Patrice died and they had all the comics
and to essentially, you know, have like an Irish wake
for him basically, and uh like that was just like
those guys talking and busting balls about Patrese, not in

(40:31):
like a sad or SMAALTI way, like them doing it
the way they would do it if he was still
in the room. But yeah, Patrise, it's it's it's very
easy to say this when people die, Like when someone dies,
you're always like I was just about to blow up,
you know, like you can have this this perfect vision

(40:53):
of what their life would have been. But there is
an interesting I think the first episode we did about Patrice.
If you go and listen to Terse on Jay Moore
More Stories podcast. Yeah, he's having a conversation with him
where it really is like Patrise's wrapped his head around
how his career should go, how he needed to start behaving,

(41:15):
how he needs to change, how he just disrespects the
industry and stuff like that, how he needs to kind
of like holster some of that and use it to
his advantage. And he was dead two months later, So
it is kind of like sad to go back and
listen to that because you're like, it's easy to say
with heinz, but like I really think he did kind of.

Speaker 7 (41:33):
Just start to figure it out.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
Yeah, And I mean the podcasting volume was just about
ready to take off.

Speaker 7 (41:42):
He would have had.

Speaker 6 (41:43):
I heard Rogan say this recently actually that like Patrise
dying is what allowed Rogan to be the biggest podcaster
in the world. Rogan basically said, if Patrise was alive,
he would be number one for sure.

Speaker 1 (41:56):
He's he just CHARMMing in Are you listening to what
happened to Patrice? Robbie?

Speaker 10 (42:02):
That is that is that.

Speaker 5 (42:06):
Is uh yeah, that might be the most offensive thing
I've ever seen in the chat.

Speaker 3 (42:13):
It can't be it can't be you.

Speaker 1 (42:17):
Might be more hefty than Patrise too, because Patrice was tall.
You know.

Speaker 5 (42:21):
Yeah, thanks thanks for backing up making me feel a
little bit better about myself right there.

Speaker 1 (42:28):
Well, you know it's great to.

Speaker 6 (42:29):
Take it serious and be like you actually might physically
be bigger than the man where who died of obesity. Uh.

Speaker 2 (42:40):
Now, Patris would have been fantastic on podcast. And it
is incredibly, incredibly sad.

Speaker 1 (42:47):
Along the way. I know you mentioned Bob Newhart and
guys like Don Rickles and all that.

Speaker 2 (42:53):
I think back in the day those guys interacting is
a lot of what Opie and Anthony brought to the
table by bringing these comedians in. I love hearing the
interactions between these comedians over the years, how they're all friends,
but it's relentless ball busting. I know there was a
great story about Don Rickles and Frank Sinatra restaurant. Yeah,

(43:17):
there's so many great stories. I don't know, do you
have a couple of highlights of from like some of
those old time stories of comedians and they're ball busting
with each other.

Speaker 6 (43:27):
Well, the Rickles one you're referring to is he was
at restaurant with Sinatra. We were a party with Sinatra
and he and Sinatra are friends, and this is before
Rickles was married. He was talking with his girl and
he was trying to impress her, and he walks over
to Frank and says like, Hey, I think I got
a chance with this girl. It would really impress her

(43:48):
if I knew Frank Sinatra, Like how awesome would that be?
And Frank was like I don't know.

Speaker 1 (43:53):
Don.

Speaker 7 (43:53):
He's like, come on, be a buddy, you know, be
a guy.

Speaker 6 (43:56):
Come on, And Snyder's like all right, whatever, And so
Rickles goes back over to the girl and having a conversation,
and Frank walks over and goes, Hi, I'm and Don goes, Frank,
I'm talking to someone. Please, just just being an asshole
for no reason. For an audience of won it was

(44:18):
like I had no idea it would be a famous
story eventually, Like yeah, for nobody, and I hear a
lot of it. They say that like Ari Shafir does
that to a lot of people now, where like he
takes people's computers. Like I was just listening to Big
Jay Oakerson talk about uh Ari will take his laptop

(44:39):
and email people from the bonfire. Big Jay's radio show
and be like serious, as contacted me, the show is
getting shut down. Later Jay, you'll get a call like,
so what are we gonna do? And Jay's like, I
don't know what the fuck you're talking about? And like
you said, everyone's fired. He remembers he gave his computer
to Ari. It's like, jokes for no One that you

(45:03):
find out about later are my probably my favorite jokes ever.

Speaker 1 (45:06):
Yeah, no, that is brilliant. Robbie.

Speaker 2 (45:10):
I want to ask you, uh, because maybe blonde, but
you know, you might have some favorite comics that Blonde
Mike would would cover. Who's do you have any comedians
that you'd be interested in Mike covering on? Why are
you laughing?

Speaker 6 (45:25):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (45:27):
I don't know.

Speaker 5 (45:28):
I've always been a big Jim Norton fan, but he's
probably covered it. But I randomly found one of his
books at uh used bookstore one time, and uh, I
read it and it was hilarious. It's like probably over
twenty years old now, those two books you wrote. But yeah,
and I've seen j Norton live in uh Portland once
and so I've always been a big Jordan Martin fan.

Speaker 6 (45:50):
Yeah, he's Uh, we've done a bunch of like opian
Anthony episodes and he's a big lot of those.

Speaker 7 (45:56):
I do want to do like a lie, what's up?

Speaker 5 (46:00):
Oh, I was just going to say the Opien Anthony
like when they were in their heyday, Like, I know
I've seen Cumia not live, but I've just seen him
talking and I've seen his stuff, and I know people
that love Cumia, But the opening Anthey in their heyday
when they were on radio was like I was like twelve,
so I wasn't really listening to it back then.

Speaker 6 (46:19):
I got into them like basically in college where I
was actually listening to their show every day and it
ended while I was still in college. So during that
time is when I really started, like I found I
discovered Opian Anthony because when I was like really young,
I was looking up Frank Caliendo impressions on lime Wire

(46:43):
and he was a guest on Opian Anthony. So on
lime Wire, I just got a segment of Caliendo on
Ohna and they were talking a lot about Brian Reagan,
who I was also a big fan of at the time,
So I was like, oh, I need to look more
into these Opian Anthony guys. So I started like finding
a lot of their clips then and I remember hearing
like Jim Brewer's stories, just like finding them on YouTube

(47:03):
and shit, But I really only listened to them every day,
like once I was in college.

Speaker 1 (47:10):
I mean, I didn't discover him until after that was
breaking up.

Speaker 6 (47:14):
I was. I think, I just said this recently that
I think they're more popular now because of YouTube really
than they were while they were on the air.

Speaker 1 (47:22):
No, I agree with that.

Speaker 2 (47:22):
I think, Yeah, I going into Louis c Kay and
I was just searching Louis c Ki stuff and then
you discover Open and Anthony and then you down the
rabbit hole.

Speaker 7 (47:30):
That's what I said. I just did the episode I
just posted on Patreon.

Speaker 6 (47:35):
I called it like a beginner's guide Dopey and Anthony,
because we've done a bunch of specific episode this was
more like a full history of ONA. And I was
saying that, like because of how big, specifically Louis and
Bill Berger got and Patrese after he died, where people
got really into those three guys. And at the time,
like when they all when they got notoriety, the first

(47:56):
thing that would come up when you search for them
on YouTube was they're opian Anthony appearances. So because of that,
people learned who Open and Anthony were, and this went
into like them breaking up, like they weren't a show anymore,
and people were like, oh, I want to look more
into this.

Speaker 1 (48:11):
Yeah, very good, Josh, you got me, you know, say,
I mean with anything.

Speaker 4 (48:17):
Mike, Mike's probably done stuff on. I mean, I grew
up Andrew Dice Clay was definitely a heavy heavy right
out the box. I was introduced to Eddie Murphy fourth grade,
fifth grade.

Speaker 7 (48:31):
And that was gold to me.

Speaker 3 (48:34):
Still standard.

Speaker 7 (48:35):
Yeah, we did.

Speaker 6 (48:36):
Actually, the first episode we did was DICE's the Day
that Laughter died, and then we did a full Dice
episode more recently and we've done Raw and Delirious from
Eddie Murphy. I plan on doing like Eddie Murphy's life eventually,
but we did break down Raw and Delirious.

Speaker 3 (48:52):
Ra and Delirious.

Speaker 4 (48:53):
They're so good. But with the Dice thing, I can
remember clearly. I was a freshman in high school. My
stepbrother and I his mom must have had HBO, but
Dice had a special coming on. I remember her walking
in the living room and Dice just busts out with
so I got my tongue up this chicks ass, and
I was like, oh, my god, here we go.

Speaker 7 (49:12):
Man, what you watching?

Speaker 3 (49:14):
Oh? He was so good Dice is? I mean, obviously
they would try and cancel him in today's culture, but.

Speaker 6 (49:19):
Well, what I think Dice is actually like an underrated
genius because he's playing a character true and like he
was able to stay and that like he knew exactly
what he was doing. Like people acted like he was
this vulgar maniac. He was kind of making fun of
what he was doing, you know what I mean, Like

(49:41):
that character of being like the over the top massage
and like he was kind of making fun of that,
and like some of it seeped into his real personality,
it seems like, but you see, like his true genius
and his ability to stick to a character. Like if
you look what he's doing on Instagram now, it's so
funny where he's going up to people in the street

(50:02):
or in airports or whatever and he's going, hey, you're
the one that wanted the picture? You want you wanted
the picture with me? And they're like they have no
fucking idea who he is, and he's pretending like everyone
would recognize him. And I always say, the true brilliance
of that is, you know, he has to delete. He's
the opposite of stuttering John, where Stuttering John will tell

(50:23):
you how many people recognized him in order to commit
to this bit. Dice is absolutely deleting videos where people
are like, oh shit, it's Andrew Dice Clay, like he's
recognizable enough that that certainly happens.

Speaker 7 (50:35):
But he only posts the videos where people are like.

Speaker 2 (50:37):
I don't know who the fucking yeah, and though the
bulls on that special, the day they laughed the dog out,
the bulls on that to do with your intention to
walk the room is I think phenomenal.

Speaker 1 (50:50):
It's especially that.

Speaker 6 (50:51):
Time where now people are like constantly looking for new
like quirky hooks to a special just to get people
to watch. At that time, it was so ballsy to
put that out, the idea to just have an album
out there that stands alone and someone completely might not
get it. They might buy they might be the first

(51:12):
Dice album they're buying, and they're like, what the fuck
is this? He's saying our back over and over again
to an empty room.

Speaker 2 (51:23):
Yeah, I mean these days you've got that dumb Australian
bitch she calls the comedy special talking about getting raped
and shit like yeah, well, everyone's got their quirky ideas,
so that's a little less quirky.

Speaker 1 (51:34):
Than what I was thinking of.

Speaker 2 (51:37):
That was a disaster that Yeah, I cannot believe that
thing got made and got cold comedy. But anyway, we
won't we won't get into the weeds. All right, we're
approaching it an hour And I did ask you if
he wanted to play our very popular game show, Bullpocky.

Speaker 6 (51:53):
I I found it very funny. I felt when you
said that to me, I felt like, maybe this is
not an Australian guy. And I'm being catfished because that
sounds like a made up Australian thing, like we're playing
a game of Wazzle Dingo.

Speaker 7 (52:10):
There's no way that's the game Bullpucky.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
Yeah, it's actually Jay Scoop, a American that he came
up with the game and named it. So yes, Bullpucky.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
You give a headline to a story from your life
that is either true or exaggerated, and your opponent gets
to ask three questions and has to try and determine
whether it is true or Bullpucky. Now, Robbie, you're gonna
go first, so hit us headline.

Speaker 5 (52:42):
I once fell down a waterfall.

Speaker 1 (52:46):
All right, Mike, he gets ask three questions of Robbie.

Speaker 7 (52:50):
Okay, I can I can ask anything?

Speaker 1 (52:56):
Yeah? Anything? Where was this?

Speaker 5 (53:01):
I think it was MacDonald's Forrest outside of Cravallis, Oregon.
I don't know if that's the exact name of the place.

Speaker 7 (53:09):
But were you alone?

Speaker 10 (53:13):
No?

Speaker 1 (53:15):
Hm, m.

Speaker 7 (53:20):
He fell down a waterfall? Uh did you struggle getting out?

Speaker 5 (53:30):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (53:31):
Okay?

Speaker 7 (53:32):
Interesting? Do I guess now?

Speaker 1 (53:36):
Yeah, you guessed that you just saw it. It's fifty
to fifty chads. Is that true? Is a bullpuck?

Speaker 7 (53:39):
I think it's I think it's true. I think it's true.
I don't know him well enough, but he seems committed
to it enough that I think it's true.

Speaker 1 (53:49):
Rugby, is that true? Or is it bullpucky?

Speaker 7 (53:52):
It's exaggerated, so it's bullpucky.

Speaker 1 (53:55):
Yeah, all right, what's the truth? What happened?

Speaker 7 (53:58):
So we were hiking? God, I hate I never would
never been a fan anyway.

Speaker 5 (54:05):
So there's this area in McDonald's forest where there is
a waterfall and you can look down and see there's
like this open water area. So people are swimming, but
I tripped and since you're near the waterfall, there's like
a little bit of a stream you know, going towards
where it'll then dump out into the freshwater area. And

(54:26):
whatever happened somehow when I tripped, I started hydro planing
down because it was such a smooth rock. I started
hydro playing down to where the waterfall would have been.
If I fall down that I'm dead right now, because
that was like, this must be like a three hundred
foot drop. But there was like this crater type thing

(54:47):
on the side of it. No, so I ended up
falling down that and it was filled with water and
I couldn't get out, and I thought I was gonna drown,
and I was face down down this like it was
it almost was like a natural well almost like uh.
And so these people came running over and they had

(55:09):
to like fish me out. They grabbed both my legs.

Speaker 1 (55:11):
And tracked me out that uh too, and one leg each.

Speaker 5 (55:19):
This was like twenty years ago, Ozzie, thanks.

Speaker 1 (55:22):
Yeah. So uh, I was a little tad bit lighter
back then, all right. So you kind of went over
but into like a uh like a little well bit
not all the way down the waterfall.

Speaker 5 (55:33):
Well no, yeah, if I would have gone down the waterfall,
it would have been like a three hundred foot drop
and probably.

Speaker 3 (55:39):
I'm still thinking of you hydro planing and how big
the been. That's like a tsunami warning.

Speaker 1 (55:45):
Yeah, the fact like.

Speaker 5 (55:49):
Just this little bit of a stream caused me to
slide so far down almost felt like a final destination thing,
because gravity shouldn't be.

Speaker 7 (55:56):
Allowed to do that to me.

Speaker 5 (55:57):
Even back then, I made fourteen, but I wasn't like
a I was the type of kid that was good
at sports, but I was plopped at first base for
a reason like I wasn't.

Speaker 7 (56:07):
I was not athletic. Even back then, you were the anchor.

Speaker 5 (56:13):
Yeah, I thought I was an acre. I remember going
down that thing thinking how is this happening? How am
I going to die by defying gravity? And then luckily
I managed to like kind of veer off into this
weird like craters.

Speaker 7 (56:28):
Well thing.

Speaker 2 (56:30):
All right, good stuff, Robby, blind Mike. You're not out
of it, obviously, you get your opportunity. If you can
stump Robbie and Josh and I are convinced enough that
you played the better game you can, you will still
win the game.

Speaker 1 (56:42):
So hit us with your headline.

Speaker 6 (56:45):
Okay, Well, I narrowly missed qualifying for uh the Olympics
in fencing as a youth.

Speaker 1 (56:56):
All right, Robbie. Three questions. This is an interesting one
given the Lackey's blide.

Speaker 3 (57:03):
That's number one.

Speaker 1 (57:05):
That adds a whole that's a whole level of CRI.

Speaker 5 (57:09):
Were you were you blind back then?

Speaker 7 (57:11):
Like were you born blind?

Speaker 10 (57:13):
Uh?

Speaker 6 (57:13):
My vision is decreased over time. I could see much
better even like five years ago than I do right now.

Speaker 10 (57:21):
Mm hmm, m.

Speaker 1 (57:27):
Mm hmmm.

Speaker 7 (57:31):
How did you get into fencing?

Speaker 6 (57:33):
Well, it's so it's actually a thing that they teach
blind people specifically. That's why I found it interesting is
that I went to a program uh for visually impaired
people and people who's in their vision, and the thing
that they work on there is fencing because it helps
with footwork. So when I was a kid, I got

(57:54):
very into it. And it's actually very easy to qualify
in this area because fencing is not really a high
priority in America. So like you kind of skyrocket at
the top pretty quickly. But yeah, they taught it at.

Speaker 7 (58:09):
One of the programs I was in for like losing
your vision and things like that. So you said you
almost qualified, So why didn't like what caught caused you
not to qualify for it I lost in the semifinals.

Speaker 10 (58:22):
Oh that was.

Speaker 1 (58:26):
Rugby. Is that true or is it bullpucky?

Speaker 5 (58:32):
I'm gonna go true.

Speaker 1 (58:34):
Now, I made it up.

Speaker 7 (58:36):
Yeah I did.

Speaker 6 (58:38):
The it did start from and it's become like a
bit on the Kirk Minihan Show where every time I
get tagged in every especially now with the Olympics, if
anyone tweets about fencing, I get tagged in it because
it's kind of.

Speaker 5 (58:53):
Ironic that, uh, because fencing uses replay to like the
ultimate degree and they slow mow and everything, and you're blind.
So no, yeah, like it is something and I don't
know why they chose that sport specifically. Yeah, yeah, it's
just most sports are like, oh we got too much
replay or there's always that back and forth on what's

(59:14):
enough replay, what's not on the fence. He's like, fuck it,
we'll just replay everything.

Speaker 3 (59:18):
So was that was that truthful about the fencing being
taught to blind people?

Speaker 7 (59:23):
Okay, yeah, so that that's what I was.

Speaker 6 (59:24):
Thing is, I don't know, I don't know why that specific,
but like they do it to help with your footwork basically,
like and the idea is you can fend someone without
having to see it all again. I don't know why
they chose that sport necessarily, but I did. I took
like a couple lessons. Basically, I was nothert by any means.

Speaker 3 (59:46):
I was gonna say if it wasn't, that was so good.
That was gonna be the diet part of that Bullpucky
right there.

Speaker 1 (59:52):
I was like, Yeah, roll with the ship now, that's
that's a win.

Speaker 2 (59:57):
Definitely a win for blonde Mic and my eyes because
that was beautifully orchestrated that Bullpucky.

Speaker 1 (01:00:03):
You had me convinced you're your second answer, and you
were very detailed in your second Yeah right, Jesus, this
might be. And then you were so quick with the
lost in the semifinals it was like, yeah, didn't hesitate
for a second. So no, you you've performed excellently there, Mike,
and you you you deserve your victory and Bullpucky, congratulations

(01:00:25):
and thank you very much for coming on. Man, We've
had a great time chatting to you. And yeah again,
