Who Are These Podcasts?

This week we listen to the worst professional broadcaster, Sam Roberts, read through his WWE fan fiction. This is a podcast that is hosted by a professional radio personality and not just some teenage boy in his bedroom... I think. Jen from the Jingles Department joins the show to discuss The Official Podcast's official response to last week's episode, Opie's drunken rant about Ant and Jimmy, and Opie's road trip to Rochester to visit his mentor. Also, Carl Ruiz comes up with a new nickname for the city of Buffalo. I'll give you three guesses. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week we review one of my all-time favorite podcasts, TBPITU, featuring hosts Maddox and Dick Masterson. Heads up, things might get confusing because joining us to analyze the show is Dick! We take a deep dive into Dick's old show, take a peek at what Maddox is doing currently, discuss appearing on bonus episodes of other podcasts, and talk about talking about pro wrestling. It's a marathon. If I was a smart podcaster I would have turned this into a two parter. Sh*t, why did I just think of that now? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Barstool Sports has been synonymous with average sports talk for years. But they realized something was missing. And that something was apparently... skanks. Well, problem solved. Cros and Anndeee join the show this week to review a painful-to-listen-to d*ck tease show. We also update everyone on how terrible Stuttering John's career is going and, of course, hang out at Gebhard's with Opie and the gang.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Dax Shepard used to be on a TV show with Ashton Kutcher, who's much more famous than him. He's married to Kristen Bell, who's much more famous than him. He hosts a podcast, that is somehow much more famous than him. Adam from the MHOG podcast joins the show for the first time to riff on Dax, Opie, and the Official Podcast's response to WATP's review of their show. Plus, we talk sh*tting at work. http://whoarethese.com  http://bit.ly/DD-WATP https://www.mhogpodcast.com  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week we listen to The Official Podcast and try to answer questions like "what are they even talking about?" and "does that make any sense?" After coming to zero conclusions on why this is a popular show, we chat about a recent Maddox episode and play a voicemail from a celebrity.  Kevin joins the show along with the guy who talks about ancient aliens on the History Channel and the drummer from Metallica. Yakov Smirnoff couldn't make it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Ready for spooky ghost stories? Ready for a show with compelling hosts who can mix humor in with the paranormal effortlessly? Ready for high-end voice talent? Swing and a miss, strike three. Doug is back to help us dismantle this garbage podcast. Also, Opie learns how to pronounce his cohost's name, Bonnie McFarlane calls in, and we read recent five-star reviews that really put us in our place.  https://whosrightpodcast.com/ http://whoarethese.com/ https://www.wehavemerch.com/collections/who-are-these-podcasts https://www.reddit.com/r/WhoAreThesePodcasts/  Learn more about your ad choices.

It's the long awaited return of Cros and he does not disappoint. We discuss Amy Schumer's podcast, a show that would be more appropriately titled: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.  We revisit a music/true crime podcast that Cros is responsible for us reviewing in the first place. Then we get to the big controversy of the day - Opie uploading a video to call out Joe Rogan. This guy is the gift that just keeps on giving! Dick Masterson takes shit from a cat lover, Karl buys a slide whistle, and much much more this week! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Oh boy, it's another show featuring nonsensical improv comedy. The epidemic is so big that it has even spread to Canada. Speaking of our northern neighbors, Gavin joins the show from Buffalo. I'm pretty sure that's in Canada.  After we learn that nonsense tickles Gavin's funnybone, we move on to Opie and Stuttering John. This might be our best Opie segment yet. We listen to him interview crazy people (homeless vets, Gary Busey, etc.) while making it all about him. We also highlight the show's transition to a warm and fuzzy podcast. Yuck.  Homework assignment: purchase bumper stickers from Gavin and super cool tee's and sweatshirts here: https://www.wehavemerch.com/collections/who-are-these-podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.

Dick Masterson from the Dick Show joins us this week to talk about cat addicted cat hoarders. These people have obvious mental disorders that they aren't dealing with, and Dick breaks it down masterfully. (see what I did there?) We also chat about Maddox and his latest The Best Debate in the Universe. There's an update on Opie that includes our friends at the Anthony Cumia Show.

This week we review a podcast that was asking for it... literally. Every other week, Doug and Jamie watch a movie from the 80s then record a show explaining the movie scene by scene. It's like How Did This Get Made minus the jokes, insights, celebrities, fanbase, and fun. We also check in on Stuttering John who, on Twitter, threatened to annihilate and destroy us. We hear some hottakes from Opie on the subjects of apple picking and pumpkin picking. Then we check out some voicemails... spoiler, Cros is taking a commanding lead. Perhaps Cobra Commander can mount a comeback.  Support the show by purchasing our amazing merchandise: https://www.wehavemerch.com/collections/who-are-these-podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.

This week Andy and his brother Joe join the show to analyze and review a two part Opie podcast featuring Stuttering John and Jackie the Jokeman. Wow, this line-up would have been great... if this was 1998! Get it? We also play some clips of my appearance on The Dick Show and take a victory lap. We discuss pooping at work and why long emails are paralyzing.  Support the show, get your WATP merch: https://www.wehavemerch.com/collections/who-are-these-podcasts Learn more about your ad choices.

It's been a while since we reviewed an independent podcast that is this bad. It's a true crime show that checks all the boxes: The host reads a wikipedia page? Check. The cohost adds no value? Check. There's an endless rant on Hot Pockets? Yep. Cros is back as we run through a number of important topics including Chip Chipperson stealing my act, Rich Vos at a podcast festival, Opie foreshadowing, and the Howard Stern Show turning gay. We also revisit How Cum and learn why episode 29 was taken off the Internet.  The closing song is called Sexpionage from the album The Isotopes Play Surf Music, available on Spotify, iTunes, or wherever fine instrumental rock is sold.  http://theisotopes.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

This week we review a show about polyamory. Wait, let me double check the spelling on that. Okay, yea, I got that right. This is not a topic that we spend a lot of time with but boy did we learn a lot today. Are you tired of committing to your partner and being a good person? We have the solution - polyamory.  Gavin joins the show to discuss how terrible Ryan and Charyn are at being humans. Then we check in on Opie and try to decide if he's a human being. All this and more on this week's WATP! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week we review one of the biggest podcasts on the planet. I'm writing this because it's not immediately evident upon listening. These women are good at broadcasting but they talk about TV shows for 15 minutes. That's weird, right? Vinnie joins us this week to get uncomfortable as we talk about Opie Radio. There are also updates from Planet Maynard, The Dick Show, and Cum Town. Two of those three shows like us. Our friend Doug from Who's Right could use your help, his house was destroyed in Hurricane Florence.

We're taking this week off but that doesn't mean you have to. Join Cros and Karl as they discuss all things Alex Jones. Back in February, you could actually listen to his show. Of course now our technology overlords have decided that this content isn't good for us. Thanks Google!! We'll be back next week to review My Favorite Murder. Consider that your official teaser.

This week we listen to a show hosted by two guys recording in their bathroom using a Mister Microphone. Sound quality aside, we get to learn very important things like who each host drafted on their fantasy football teams. To our international listeners, we're as bored as you are. Chris joins the show to bring his unique energy and to discuss the latest from Rich Vos and Bonnie McFarlane. We also check in with our friends Carl and Opie to learn about Carly's new crushy-poo. Don't even ask.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Chris D'Elia is a famous person. He also has a podcast. He is probably good at sitcoms and stand up comedy.  Andy's brother Joe joins us this week to discuss Chris's podcast and also review recent reviews of WATP. The Hollywood Handbook fans aren't loving us. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Doug from Who's Right joins the show to discuss a podcast that is proudly about nothing. But don't let the fact that it's a boring, rambling conversation stop you from pledging up to $1,000 per month on Patreon. Yea, that's right, there is both a $500 / month and a $1k / month tier on their Patreon page. They have some balls. We also get an update from Vos and Bonnie and check in on how Opie is continuing to fail at podcasting/life. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week we check out Hollywood Handbook and a show they did with the guys from the podcast Doughboys. I'm told the latter is a decent show, the former... not so much.  Cros and Andy join as we discuss terrible improv comedy, Cum Town's take on Hollywood Handbook, Dick Masterson's brilliant move, Opie Radio finally getting a studio, and people on iTunes who don't care for WATP. We also try out a brand new segment that is underwhelming.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week we recap what happened during our appearance on the Anthony Cumia Show last week. We even play the audio from our guest spot. But that's just the beginning.  Jen from the Jingles Department joins us to discuss the latest with Rich Vos and his appearance on Comedy at the Carlsoncast. We listen to a review from The Wicked Theory Podcast. We hear Jim Norton and Sam Roberts bash Opie. Then we review the latest Opie Radio Podcasts from the Podcast Movement in Philadelphia.  All of this and more on WATP! Go podcasting! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
