you'll get married to him you think i hope so yeah i think i think i hope that's the plan no pressure
though because he is listening um okay so frank but you could put it in the bottom of the screen
if you want to ask him oh god that is not how i want that to go down like really not via super
chat yes do a super chat frank this is so gay okay speaking of gay so then we move on to now
our mutual friend like our worlds have collided in the form of stuttering john
uh i had him on my show i remember when i started my i remember still at the other apartment and i
had him on my show now i can't remember when this was but i was like honestly interviewing
him you know i had known him from howard stern and you know he's like a funny character i was
like sure i'll have him on my podcast and then we ended up getting into such an argument like
i asked him has trump been good for comedy and he like blew up at me he's like is this whole
interview gonna be about trump i was like what i ask every comedian this question like every comedy
personality like it's not a big [ __ ] deal man and uh it came up like i was like i was asking
him about his stand up i was like i know that you kind of like dabble and stand up and it bothered
him so much that i used the word dabble so i saw that i didn't get it and uh so were you trying to
troll john by asking about the dabbling or did you really not know he did stand up i honest i said
dabbling uh like honestly in a in a very light way i was not trying to like stick it to him i was
yeah and and i was just being like i know that because i i didn't get the impression that he
was really doing a lot of stand up he's done it here and there did you what did you think he did
like what do you think his like occupation is i i i think he i don't know i know that he's just
been coasting off his stuttering john persona for like 20 something years oh with like appearances
and stuff like that yeah appearances i don't know and i i thought he oops oops my volume okay
because you know i i'm familiar with like jeremy piven he got famous a different way and then went
into stand up right he initially dabbled and then did it more so i i meant it purely like oh you i
no one knows stuttering john just for his stand up they know him from howard stern
you know whatever uh and i didn't see him like performing very many places so okay here's the
clip it's a quick one i'm gonna play it and then i will also bring in our fun mutual friend carl
from who are these podcasts because hey hey carl he is also this this is not a surprise for anyone
by the way everyone knew that this was happening here is the clip of me triggering stuttering john
trump has been good for comedy
and he's frozen by the way hold on are you going to be by trump his camera's frozen uh if you
really don't want to talk about it i just figured he's drunk i thought you had done i thought you
had dabbled occasionally in stand up so that's why i brought that up i dabbled occasionally really
yeah i didn't know it was if it was a thing you were really doing or not and you know i
wasn't sure i know i've been doing stand-up for 20 years i don't know okay 20 years
you've been getting up much in the last six months [ __ ] awkward i wanted to kill myself
well since all my gigs have been cancelled due to covet uh no no i haven't
but i had i had like you know 15 probably more 20 gigs cancelled at this point i'm bringing this up
because i forget what month this was this might have been summer this is october okay this was
october so i was coming off of a whole summer and fall of performing in people's yards illegal shows
golf courses like there were shows happening so if you really wanted to perform stand-up at this time
you could have and so i was like i was trying to ascertain like what other shows have you
been doing like if you were really a real stand-up who loves to perform you would
have found a way to perform in the last five months or so and he was just like oh yeah
everything's been canceled which to me sounds like someone who's not serious about stand up
like to me that sounds like oh you're using you're using covid to be an excuse to like oh oh i guess
i don't have to work anymore covid so that's i was coming from huh you don't seem serious to me
yeah yeah a lot of the states have been up opening up here and there like north carolina
is back open i just didn't know if you know the states that had sort of been making it work with
the you know 25 percent um you know customers allowed in like if you were able to you know
rebook anything in the last few months since things have opened up again but you know you say
i dabbled in stand up disrespectful i haven't been disrespectful to you at all and yet respect greens
i mean i could have picked a different word i didn't know
that it was your main thing honestly i dabbled okay wine time for wine
and i'm doing your show
he use and i think he's used this with you too um elisa this whole like i'm doing your show
i'm gracing you with my presence i have a ton of clouts i think it's like when i we talk about like
being not aware like not being self-aware yeah can i say though real quick chrissy elisa when she had
john on was the greatest troll interview of all time the first thing she did was take a photo from
a guy who called him stuttering [ __ ] face so that was very disrespectful in jeff's defense that
was really funny well i didn't know that guy was going to call in um wow it was great yeah it was
just lucky um but yeah i wasn't trying to troll john i really just wanted to have a nice interview
with him i'm sure chrissy also wanted that yeah i wanted that so badly yeah so we probably just had
good intentions but it just went wrong but really went right because john is funniest in this kind
of situation where he's very defensive and he just gets upset and it's very sad because you know he
blocked me from twitter he blocked my you know my phone number and we were kind of friends and uh
you know before i did interview him uh we went to dinner with a few people
and he's just been very mean since the interview and uh i really am sad about that because i wanted
it to go well i had good intentions and with elisa like stuttering john was being a douchebag all the
while i think trying to hook up with you trying to like mack it and like i think at the end of my
interview with him he's like oh if you're in l.a we should get drinks sometime and i'm like
no after what just happened were you here did you not hear what just happened did you not hear
this podcast that we both did together i was like you can see the sheer terror in my eyes like even
though he's frozen and i can't see his face i'm like uh uh all i'm doing is tiptoeing and trying
nothing furthermore he dabbles in hitting out of women i don't know if you knew that
he is more than a dabbler clearly and just the fact that he doesn't realize like he he thinks
he has so much clout he's a big [ __ ] deal he can be a douche bag and still hit on people and
still go i have a chance i think no yelled at yeah you're right lisa have you told chrissy
what actually brought this interview on what you had to do in order to get them on your show
uh no no um i don't think i did uh so so john said he would not come on my show unless i
went to dinner with him okay well first it was hiking but i could not imagine doing that hike
so i said what about dinner and then he was upset because i invited multiple people to the
to the tower he doesn't hike look at him i know a backpack because he owns sneakers well he knows
that i hike so that's why he uh mentioned the hiking you should take a hike yeah but uh yeah
so he said if i went to dinner with him he would do the um the interview and then he tried to get
out of it on that day by saying he had to do fantasy football yeah and i can't even like
that's what he said at the end of my podcast too he's like how much longer is this gonna
go on i have fantasy football i was like oh please don't let me keep you any longer
yeah he was drafting his team in the middle of the interview with elisa
for the first 15 minutes he's picking out his defense and his special teams
you're so disrespectful like what this idea that people think a certain level of fame affords them
uh they can be rude they can be checked out they can be uh i don't know i guess they just they get
away with it for years and and people are kissing their ass all the time no no john's just an
idiot are you kidding me john just doesn't know any better no one's ever kissed his ass
i would be surprised like um you know the really big howard stern fans they they i had people that
were excited to meet him i had several events that he was at and people are excited to meet him
but even if you have any kind of fame or any notoriety from anything that doesn't
mean you're a nice person doesn't mean you're a good person doesn't mean you're a smart person
all it means is that you're famous and people need to keep that in mind because i think people think
oh just because you're on the radio or you have any notoriety that just means that you're good it
doesn't mean that yeah and you were very polite with him melissa like you were very nice to him
and i think it was when stuttering john kind of like started lying is like when you were like
okay now i have to like call you out because you were patient and kind to him yeah i mean i
think uh listen i feel bad for him now i mean i'm sure he has all three of us blocked right
oh yeah and i don't say we're three good people here right yeah so yeah you know and that's not
just us it's other people that i know that he's very this is somebody that's hurting
okay yeah a lot of people it takes a lot for me to block someone i mean they have to really say
something to me that is hurtful that hurts my feelings it makes me sad right so if he has a
majority of people blocked this guy's not doing well okay so what we need to do is just i mean
i can't reach out to neither can any of you but if there's anybody out there just reach out to john
say that we were talking about him today and that we would like to talk to him again i'd love to
have him oh my god yeah let's do a reunion can i just say i just want to say i do not feel bad for
john i am keeping him relevant i swear to god that is the most popular segment of our show
now is the stuttering john stuff people go and check out his show just to talk about on our show
and chrissy i'm sure you've seen this there's a subreddit called dabblers anonymous
it is the best subreddit on all of reddit and it's thanks to you obviously the dabblers let's
finish this clip because i think okay the uh the cherry on top is coming soon i i honestly
i don't know the extent to which you do stand out i mean isn't that the point of
an interview is like oh you can correct me yeah i'm wrong i was like just tell me you're wrong
you can't let it go i don't know i didn't know i don't know how much stand up you do john it's it
was just one plate wall over the way i dabbled come on that's a come on so you're more than
a dabbler that's fine i wanted to kill myself at this point i don't hey it's fine i was like
what can i really say to make to turn probably didn't know that i did stand up it's okay it's you
know we're not like uh oh that's what an interview is i have ptsd from this interview this is a great
interview oh you seem to be pretty um uh schooled and everything else so you would think that you've
seen that because we had it we had like it was great the first hour of this interview or whatever
45 minutes oh it's a howard stern stuff it's it's wheelhouse it's his glory days it's the [ __ ] he
likes to talk about and but you bring it to the now the dabbling stand up oh that's when things
get sticky well that's the thing it's like you should be able to roll with something like that
like turn that into a joke that's the problem that john has is he takes something like this
seriously and now look at it it's two years later i don't know how long it's been but it's it's all
this time later and there's a subreddit and we're talking about it still i just would have been like
oh that's funny you think i dabble i've been doing it for 20 years but no i guess i need to do better
you know or something i'm definitely in cleveland next month i'm dabbling on long island on january
6th whatever okay let me see when they're like someone said that you're a sellout yeah we
sold out last night we're selling out tomorrow night like you gotta have fun with these types
of insults i would imagine but yeah oh wow you prepare so i feel like there was never gonna be
enough wine for that i don't know all there is to know about stuttering john so hence the interview
um i can't i guess all right so you don't want to talk about just silence
no i'll talk about them but i don't know why i mean i didn't know this was going to be political
oh no i that's that was not my goal either oh i've i've talked with a bunch of other comedians
some people say he's he has been great for comedy some people think uh the trump jokes are getting
a little tired it's it's a question that i was asking without it being like a triggering you know
you know of you as a comedian you know you're a comedian right yes i dabble
that was wonderful wow absolutely wonderful i have a hard time watching that
like so carl i i love seeing your joy with that clip like that that clip really changed
the whole trajectory of how we review centering jobs it's really amazing and then like me and
carl became friends yeah yeah that's true perfect so elisa a couple of things i want
to talk to you about first off i can't believe you said no one's asked you to marry them since
benji i thought i just heard you on june mike i thought you and andy were back on
no no i forgot i don't know i have covered right now so i'm currently currently asked
so i forgot but yeah andy and i are technically engaged and it's his birthday today so happy
birthday happy birthday um the other thing i wanted to ask you about and chrissy as well
do you know this new show john's doing now it's uh what's bugging me about hollywood are there
literally bugs in it from his apartment the funny part is that the opening graphic for it
has bugs crawling over his face that some guy from the tonight show did it for him
and i don't think that the guy knew that we goof on him for that so he was trying to explain it
away he was going you know what they say they say i have cockroaches that was just that one day that
i had the cockroach sure they were just there that one day and then they went away but he's doing
he's doing a hollywood gossipy show it's like an entertainment channel where can we watch that
it's on his channel he does it once a week and it's the what's bugging me about hollywood show
and it is he's talking about relationships he's all upset about ben affleck and him getting back
together with jlo like what who am i listening to right now why does judd care about this
he's a 56 year old man what is he talking about i see the audio version uh i don't see a video
version well it's on his channel if you go to the stuttering john youtube channel okay so it's
on there but anyway i just wanted to ask you guys that had seen that yeah because it's the funniest
[ __ ] thing you're talking about watch that that sounds good actually it is it's funny it's funny
because he gets passionate about it like he's not trying to be funny but he's like you're back
i'm not sure what his ankle is out to be honest then he had another episode it was all about
award shows and he was talking about how all of the award shows sucks like this is not good
entertainment oh yeah watch this intro thing this is so funny when it gets to the end of the intro
pal right here oh yeah
in a world where dabblers can dabble
notice he just found a bunch of images on the internet this is distracting having this here
remember that
what's bugging me about hollywood look at this right here
oh i love that bugs are coming out of his mouth
oh and then they're going back into his mouth so i'm pretty sure what happened was
the the guy was given an assignment from john hey i need an intro to my show it's bugging
me by hollywood this guy obviously just went on google and found all those images and then just
like put them little motion on it and stuff and then the bug thing was because it's called what's
bugging me about hollywood i guarantee i was like oh god dammit you had to put the bugs on my face
now they're going to goof on me wow oh poor john yeah i and i and i could tell from like elisa's
show like he felt like he was steamrolled by like the haters and the trolls but like you know
that's the thing is like lisa you have a good relationship with your with your fans and you
you know people would you know be like oh call these fans simps or whatever people call
my fan sims all the time i feel like everyone everyone's a simp now but like i appreciate how
how kind you are to your fans and you i don't know you know has got a unique show i don't know
like elisa's i think it's awesome oh thanks carl yeah you know um
i think if you include your fans and things you know they could be very helpful
um so that that john intro doesn't surprise me i bet just a fan sent that to him he probably
didn't even ask for it he said it was a guy from the tonight show he used to work with
who made it oh he did oh okay oh really that worked on the tonight show yeah yeah yeah i
don't think you put it up right joe it should have been better than that i know i don't think
you put a lot of time into it maybe somebody in the audience of the tonight he probably didn't
he probably did it on his phone while he was like thinking of [ __ ] or something here you go john
