Ep738 - Opie’s Breakthough, Brendan Schaub, Aaron Imholte, StutJo, Chad Zumock, Jerry Banfield
Who Are These Podcasts?Show Notes
We start off discussing Chad Zumock’s GoFundMe. The Zman wants to film a comedy special and he needs you to help his struggling comedy career. The way Chad is asking for money, with an AI written nonsensical explanation of why this is important for independent creators, is hilariously bad even for Chad.
Brendan Schaub has completely changed his schedule and at the same time, his career. He’s given up on podcasting and now just wants people to pay him to answer questions. Jerry Banfield thinks he was a millionaire twice and that he’ll be a millionaire again. None of that is true. Stuttering John recorded another Cameo and he’s looking rough! We revisit Howard Stern getting to the bottom of the Stuttering John and Friends tour that was extremely profitable for one guy, John Melendez. Opie finally recognizes his show is the kind of mindless drivel he and the boys mocked mercilessly during Jocktober segments. Tony can only respond by asking if he needs a hug. Why is Ron the Waiter saying no one is donating to his Venmo? Where is the money going?? Aaron Imholte can’t handle the pressure of the goal and he takes out his anger and frustration on one of his loyal donators. Megan and Annie join for a round of “Is It Gay?” (Mersh themed) and the Opie or Burr game. We finish with comments, reviews, and voicemails.

Kevin Brennan claims to still be in SAG and paying his dues. Adam Busch doesn’t think this is possibly true; he’s not even sure that KB is paying his taxes. Chad Zumock filmed his special over three nights and never told any of his supporters or producers. He promised all of them tickets to the show and instead recorded it while opening for Jim Florentine. Then he has the balls to call out Patrick Melton’s GoFundMe.
We’re officially celebrating Jocktober with Philadelphia’s “The Preston & Steve Show.” These guys have had a morning show for decades and are mostly pretty buttoned up. Unfortunately Marisa stinks, can’t hit the right drops, or know anything about anything.
Helga Mann is back with a new pilot episode of That Reality Show from her new place in the desert. She’s out of practice. And speaking of out of practice, Stuttering John has been recording some new cameos. He announces that he’s coming back to show business. We’re here when you’re ready, John.
Laura Clery is an extremely successful social media personality. She and her husband were both rich and famous. But they are also both crazy and have completely fucked up their lives. Somehow, after doing everything he could do to ruin Laura’s life, they have gotten back together for a podcast episode this week. The stories are pretty wild.
After playing Big Jay talking WATP on Legion of Skanks, we get right into Stand Up For Standup. This might be the dumbest "cause" you've ever heard of. Comics who aren't very good aren't getting a payday for things they did long ago after collecting money for years.
