This week we're checking out Caleb Hammer and his show Financial Audit. This time his guest is so dumb it's hilarious. She's a grifter and a scammer who apparently is the person getting scammed. When he finds out where her child support money is going he finally loses it on her.  Adam Busch is on to question how real the guests are on Financial Audit. Then we're joined by King B from The Mike Jolitz Show to tell a hilarious story about his band opening for Stuttering John's band back when John was riding high on celebrity. Adam made a recent appearance on the Conspire a Theory Podcast and we learn that Skinny Chad is my arch nemesis and he will destroy me. Aaron Imholte tried to make a roast video for Hackamania and he proves he knows nothing about how to write or deliver roast jokes. Opie fantasizes about being a guest on the Howard Stern Show and is continuing to take unprovoked shots at Anthony. We wrap up with your voicemails.
