Who Are These Podcasts?

Rich Vos and Bonnie McFarlane are two stand up comedians that are married to each other. They also do a podcast together. I'm writing this because there's no other way you would possibly know this information. No one is talking about or listening to this show. We also circle back to some gems from Opie Radio episode 23 that we missed last week.  All in all, this episode of WATP is one of our better "filler" episodes. I mean, you know.

This week we listened to a podcast called Guys We Fucked: The Anti Slut-Shaming Podcast. For some reason it's categorized as a comedy show. I would argue that this show is to comedy what Bill Cosby is to consensual sex.  Chris joins the show to talk about dumb women trying to sound smart for a while. Then we dig in to the latest from Westwood One's Opie Radio. They aren't even trying anymore. It's a podcast where adults talk about toy cars while other people are talking in the background. God I hate podcasts.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Andy is back to review a show that reviews Howard Stern. Good premise, poor execution.  We then discuss Opie Radio, Stuttering John, and Cum Town. Oh, and everyone's favorite bit, the teaser. It's what everyone will be talking about at the water cooler on Monday. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We finally got around to reviewing George Ouzounian's podcast. Somehow we were able to "do an hour" on just one episode. These dummies think their debate show can discuss whether or not marketing is "evil." Wow! Jen from the Jingle's Department (the hole) joins us once again. After dissecting Maddox's pod, we check in once again with Opie Radio. Spoiler - it just keeps getting more and more the same.  We finally have a hotline that you can call and leave us your voicemails. Looking forward to doing a lot more show prep... NOT!

Crosier is back on the show to discuss a very popular "comedy" podcast hosted by 90s celebrity RuPaul and hanger-on Michelle Visage. These people talk for days but we're not quite sure what they're talking about or why they're talking. We also discuss some big WATP news including the latest with Anthony Cumia, Stuttering John Melendez, Geno Bisconte, and President Trump. I think the Boss even makes an appearance or two.  Finally, we wrap up by reading some extremely negative one-star reviews on our iTunes page. The Cum Boys are not fans.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's another week, another podcast to review. I'll be honest, I am super distracted by the World Cup. But that didn't stop us from listening to hours of Papa's Basement, a show that should be much better than it is. They've been at it for almost ten years. That's ten with a capital one.  Doug from Who's Right joins us this week to also discuss Cum Town's response to our show and another check-in with Opie Radio. It's a jam-packed show.  On a totally different note, I went to brunch this morning and was reminded of my two favorite bumper stickers of all time - "Tennis is My Racket" and "I Dig Archeology." Brilliant.  Also, this is my new favorite thing ever:   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Kevin is back to talk about the extremely bitter and untalented Stuttering John Melendez. He has no business putting out a podcast - there's no format, no production, and the guy doesn't even stutter anymore. So what are we even doing?? We also drop in on what's new with Opie Radio. This is the gift that keeps on giving. It's better than Sock Fancy (and I should know, I'm a subscriber).  Make sure to subscribe to WATP and support our brand new sponsor - Sock Fancy!

We get off to a slow start, there's a lot to talk about recent WATP happenings and apparently we're bad at that. However, once we start rolling on the train wreck that is Heather Dubrow and her entitled assistant you can't stop the fun. Don't even try. Andy "the GOAT" joins the show along with the DEUCE, our Real Housewives of Orange County expert. After reviewing a terrible podcast we spend some time reflecting on the aftermath of our Opie Radio episode. We play clips from Anthony Cumia talking about it, Jim and Sam, Chip Chipperson, and even SaiyanZ Entertainment. We also read reviews from people who don't think as highly of us as we do. Inconceivable.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We are off this week but looking forward to addressing many of the comments about Opie Radio next weekend. In the meantime, here's one of our most popular shows to date. Cros shows up to do the heavy lifting while we review one of the most popular podcasts of all time. And by all time we mean since 2009. It's not that impressive. Karl is a fan of the pod, Cros used to be a fan but stopped for many reasons that will become evident quickly and then slowly. After an exhaustive review of the show they play a new track from their band the Isotopes - www.theisotopes.com.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week the topic of conversation is Gregg "Opie" Hughes, well known from the Opie and Anthony show. Gregg was fired from Sirius XM in 2017 but he's back in 2018 with... a terrible podcast.  There's no flow, nothing interesting, no rhyme or reason for this show to exist. Guys in their 50s and 60s stand around and make small talk. Brother Wease must be proud of his protégé. Jen from the Jingles Department joins the show to agree with everything Karl has to say. And she's right! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Crosier is back, and this time it's to discuss the Ronnie Mund Show. Also featured on this show is a guy named Howard Stern. We both ramble on and on about a bunch of stuff. We definitely didn't talk enough about how awesome Richard Christy is at drumming or how insufferable Lena Dunham is. Next time. Baba booey! Baba booey! Howard Stern's penis! Hit 'em with the Hein!

If you like true crime, Van Morrison, and good rock music, than this is not the show for you. It's surprising how much work goes into producing this cornball's podcast. There's a ton of stuff going on here, just nothing that anyone would find "interesting" or "entertaining." Chris joins the show to defend Van Morrison and play embarrassing audio of himself as a child.  If you find any of our opinions about Disgraceland, Van Morrison or the album Astral Weeks to be incorrect, keep it to yourself Crosier.  Learn more about your ad choices.

It's about time we reviewed a spooky show here on WATP. The show is called NoSleep Podcast and I can tell you with certainty that if you listen you will most likely sleep comfortably. This is a scripted fiction show of "scary" stories featuring creepy kids and stuff. We have a guest on the show this week to help us out. His name is Vinnie Paulino and you can check HIM out on his OWN program, The Rochester Show (available on rocpodcasts.com and on youtube and everywhere else). Vinnie helps Karl and Kevin get through yet another brilliant show where the kids sound like they've smoked six packs of Kools and are about to start their shifts running the Gravitron at your local carnival. Enjoy the ridiculousness! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Doug from Who's Right joins us this week to analyze a show that no one has ever heard before - Not Another NERDY Podcast. What are these guys doing? They talk about winning $88 at a casino, moving boxes of comic books from their basement, a Moe's opening up near their house... have they never heard a podcast before? This is definitely a "shooting fish in a barrel" edition of WATP. If garbage podcasts didn't exist and we had to make up shitty shows to goof on, I couldn't possibly make up a show this shitty. It would seem too unrealistic.  Anyway, I guess The Big Bang Theory is a popular show and maybe someone likes this. Perhaps there's an audience for this nonsense. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week we review a show that somehow has a worse iTunes rating than WATP. Andy is in the studio while Joe calls in to talk about his new vegetarian lifestyle and breathe heavily into the phone.  I Am Rapaport is hosted by Michael Rapaport, a guy who's famous enough to hang out with other D List celebrities like Kathy Griffin. Did you see that apology video where she wasn't wearing make-up?? WTF? Anyway, we have a good time with the podcast this week. Listen through to the end and you'll hear us address the audio issues from Joe's terrible set up. Live and learn.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Kevin is back to review a podcast that reviews Yelp reviews. Great premise. How do they do on the execution you ask? Well, if you like middle aged guys who read out loud using silly voices and references to comedy bits that were popular in the 70s, you would be the first person ever.      Learn more about your ad choices.

It's yet another installment of our ongoing educational series - How Not to Podcast. This show is a gem. When you can decipher what the two hosts and producer Mr. Google are saying it's amazing. It should be transcribed and released in paperback. Nick Bailey, cohost of the Fancounters podcast (http://fancounters.libsyn.com/), makes his WATP debut. We talk a lot about how he's a "nice guy" and probably doesn't deserve the social media backlash that's about to be unleashed. I'm just thankful he found this show. It is nothing if not entertaining. If you're one of the people who listen to this show hoping to be outraged, thanks for subscribing! Hopefully you don't also read these descriptions. You should really value your time more than you do currently. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We made it bay bee!! Episode number 100, the show where we finally roast ourselves. Karl is joined by (in order of importance) Kevin, Andy, Cros, Joe, and Chris. Everyone takes their shots at the most poorly reviewed show of all time. And then we find out this isn't the most poorly reviewed show of all time. D'oh!! Huge thanks to additional contributors including Who's Right, The Story Behind, Planet Maynard, Jen from the Jingles Department and Marcus from the UK.  The image we used for this show was a gift from Chris who brought over some bubbly for us to enjoy. You may notice us having more fun than usual... thanks Chris! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

History Dweebs reached out to us and asked us to review their show. They are also big supporters of WATP and freedom of speech so, while it was tough to sh*t on them, we somehow found a way. Andy, the GOAT, joins the show and brings a "bit." We also read a bunch of negative iTunes review. Most importantly, we tease episode number 100.  Learn more about your ad choices.

The boys are back after a brief hiatus, during which nothing at all happened concerning the show. We discuss two guys discussing The New Adventures of He-Man. The architects of the internet should be proud.  Joe comes on the show along with his more famous brother Andy. Even though it appears the Hindsight boys will be hanging it up, we offer many constructive ideas on how they might improve their show. Ideas like, "editing." It's pretty groundbreaking! Don't forget to give us a five star review on iTunes if you haven't already. We now have a league-leading 157 one star reviews, so we don't need anymore of those. We're good.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
