Johnjay & Rich: After Words

Emmy winner and JJR BFF, Bob Odenkirk, stopped by to chat about EVERYTHING! Go see his new movie, NORMAL, in theaters April 17th! #bobodenkirk #bettercallsaul #nobody #breakingbadSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

WARNING! Today's War of the Roses involved a husband who revealed that he was Crossdressing, but heterosexual and not cheating on his wife. As a group, we collectively suggested MARRIAGE counseling and did not take one side or the other on anything involving gender identity due to the radio show being a neutral entertainment space. However, we did not condone the language the wife was using at her own husband and stood up against any "hateful" language. The reaction was mixed with some thinking we took one viewpoint on one side of the political spectrum and others think we took the opposite viewpoint.  However this caller was persistent, and used hateful language... so Stew Pidasso and the gang had a little fun and tried to remind him that JJR is just a radio show presented wit inquiries for advice and we keep neutral and entertaining as best as we can. In fact, our entire cast has different opinions, worldviews, and political affiliations from each other and yet collectively wanted to take a moment to address this guy with humor and satire to avoid heavier, angrier feelings. If you see it from a comedy lens and heard War of the Roses this morning, knowing there was nothing funny about it, you will understand our decision to go ahead and take this caller to avoid being spammed by him during the show. We added some bells and whistles and a surprise at the end in an effort to show unity.  We bleeped his profanity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week, after the show, GCU Senior Abraham, of VIRAL ABRAHAM CREATES came to tape the 1,2,3 trend with Johnjay and Rich and we realized... not only is he VIRAL, he is GOING PLACES and he is just beginning. Also, He is here because of Intern Phoebe who is also a student with him at GCU. The two of them and his assistant are about to slam into the media world full force. We sat down with everybody to get a glimpse into the daily hustle. See what it takes to break through the barriers in 2026 in this look into all of our lives as we end the week with EXTENDED CONTENT!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

You hear it all the time, Johnjay will start a podcast with raw behind the scenes audio for extra content and when we interview celebrities sometimes they storm out in a fit of rage. An interview is an interview, and you become famous for walking the fine line sometimes. Recently, someone has asked Johnjay to appear on their podcast but with a TON of rules and descriptors beforehand. The key to success is to JUST ROLL! You heard it from us first. If you are planning a podcast, JUST ROLL! Be controversial (although take this with a grain of salt), that's the best advice we can give you. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
