Two Amazing Years

Holaaaaaaa! Well, as you guys now know, I’m With Stupid Podcast is two years old. *Holds up two fingers* Yesterday Matt-Man reflected a bit on the past two years and shared some of the accolades we’ve gotten from celebrities that are still rolling in! So, along with a little of my own reflections, I’m going to share the next round of congratulatory shout outs.

“Two whole years huh? Well, give yourselves a fucking cookie, assholes.” – Denis Leary

Our Season Two Finale will be show number 172. Okay 173, we deleted one. Anyone who listened to the deleted show will remember our first lesson we learned about radio/podcasting. It IS possible to be too drunk for radio and if you aren’t fully committed to a bit, you should just bail out of it and muddle through. Although, one could make the argument that bombing and melting down is a necessary lesson too. I’m guessing most people are surprised that we’ve only had to delete one show anyway.  Now that I think about it, I should have downloaded that show before we deleted it. The Smithsonian might want it someday.

“Congrats to two great seasons and here’s to lots and lots more success in the future you SEXY BEASTS!” – Scarlett Johansson

Oh yeah, delusions of grandeur are a good thing. Dream big or go home, right? As I mentioned in comments yesterday, it’s kind of exciting and even a little scary that our “joking” about our “vast and diverse worldwide audience” isn’t really a joke anymore. For the longest time we actually knew everyone who listened to the show. There was a certain comfort in that, but it was also a little depressing.

“So you guys finally experienced a breakout and are hitting near the top of the ratings? Good for you! Also, I’m still alive fuck nuts!” – Frank Bonner 

One of the things that we kind of got away from was doing audio bits from our special “correspondents.” We did a lot of these early on and most of them were really funny. They are actually very time-consuming to do though and after a while they seemed to start all sounding alike. But, I have a feeling in the year(s) to come; we will get back into doing those again.

“OMG! You guys are so deserving of all the success you've had. I’m totally addicted to your show!” – Lindsay Lohan *steals Jayman’s watch on the way out*

The coolest thing that we have done is finally get some guests to come on the show. We’ve talked about it from day one, but have been picky about who we ask, especially since the whole “Joker/Nazi” incident. But, we most definitely plan on having as many guests as we can in the seasons to come. Who knows, maybe we’ll get some REALLY big names soon! Not likely, but maybe!

“Congrats to the Leopold and Loeb of internet radio.” – Dennis Miller

What I do know is that we will continue to make fun of all the stupid people out there. The politicians, athletes, celebrities, attention whores, stupid criminals, zealots, atheists, writers, pundits, haters, self-important fools, frauds, self-proclaimed legal/medical/financial etc “experts,” easily offended, outraged and hypocrites. Most of all though, we’ll continue to make fun of ourselves even though a lot of times the listeners don’t realize that’s what we’re doing.

“I’m really happy for you guys and impressed at how well you’ve done. You guys rock! Now leave me alone you pervs!!" – Miley Cyrus

Mostly though, I just want to thank everyone out there who listens to the show. I hope you enjoy it and maybe it brings a little smile to your day cause that’s all we really want to do. So, here’s to two great years and to season three being even better!!

“Hey Jay! I heard that impression you’ve been doing of me. Not funny buddy. You’re lucky I don’t come over there and kick your ass!” – Kirk Douglass
