It's Erik Nagel - "Meatballs" Shoots on "The Todd Show" (03/14/15)

[@E101ification]

It brings me enormous pleasure to know that Todd Pettengill heard every one of those O&A+J segments ridiculing him and that he did not take them well. :)

[@llary]

Holy shit, this is the first time I have been engrossed in a SXM show since 2014. Erik really knows how to put on a good radio show. Guests are interesting, flow is good and no stupid gimmicks.

[@e2go]

Lol

[@oakeidissiczeppic974]

That job listing title had to be written by todd. I can just hear that Todd voice saying “bring home the boo boo”

[@ednakrabapoly]

yeah this is booboo mc slambag

[@FURTHER_ADO]

21:33 Ant whispering " I got a tree on my house.... I wanna see the boat movie" . Gotdamn, so funny.

Motherfucking Giddles Army brought down The Todd Show.

[@ednakrabapoly]

it's 2024 and I'm just hearing this!! holy shit it's so nice to hear all the behind the scenes stuff from that first todd show. the fact everyone else was cringing at the intro LMAO WE ARE LONG ISLAND WE ARE CONNECTICUT

[@tmac14wr]

Really good interview. The last part when Rich said Todd's wife teased him about the upcoming firing made me furious.

[@E101ification]

Just remember: she's married to Todd. That's enough punishment for anyone.

[@Theevil6ify]

And now ol' Todd's out on his ass too. Poetic justice.

[@Bigones111]

Insert Name Here Worse, you have to pay to listen to them

[@91072craigster]

I love when they talk about this interview on the show and they portray Todd's wife as a drunk, belligerent, showbiz housewife.

[@CRGMONEY]

@@Theevil6ify just remember that he can announce for WWE and make that buku wrestling money.

[@E101ification]

Wow, Erock's actually a good interviewer.

[@theoriginaltommysteward]

How am I just now finding this???

[@Blady99]

Guys Meatballs has been doin radio since he was 17

[@trailsdetails4061]

He's the master! Now lets go to Mongow the trucker, MONGOOOWWW

[@eoghancallaghy2634]

@@trailsdetails4061 to be fair Mongo was funny but one caller out of dozens gets old quick.

[@544CampStreet]

Damn Hawk this is one of the best interviews I've heard in a long time. Radio gold. Thank you.

[@e2go]

Lol

[@devilscry01]

Erock should be given the channel. I mean that Nagel kid is pretty good.

[@nickm1815]

Shut up, Erock!

[@kingpoopra6084]

Garlic butter sau.

[@tonytomei1175]

You could replace Todd’s name and put opie name in this entire segment , and meatballs could be any crewmember from back in the day.

[@radiusone216]

I've only just found this but Erik is a really good interviewer

[@HamsterWheelGaming]

Damn this was some great extra insight into the show the boys mocked

[@Theevil6ify]

What became of Mr. Balls?

[@pgee4342]

47:25 Story of Todd slamming his office door in Erock’s face when Erock worked for Scott & Todd. Damn, I knew Todd is a painfully unfunny, backstabbing hack, but wasn’t aware he was an asshole to people who worked for him. I’d even wondered if he was actually a nice guy irl. Now I’ll take even more pleasure in listening to Todd being brutalized over the years.

[@maxburpee]

I couldn’t care less abt New York radio. Todd is an irrelevancy I only know abt through O&A. Don’t know meatballs from a bar of soap. This was a *fascinating* discussion.

[@e2go]

It was always his dream to work mornings in New York but he didn't know a thing about "The Scott and Todd Show", the most profitable show in that market in mornings for years.

[@jonathandrewstefancin5924]

Unlike all the anti opie and anti Stern stuff out there this Pettengill stuff is fascinating

[@BishopAP]

I hate all the parsing going on. We get it, it's just your opinion, now tell the story. On a positive note, Erik is pretty damn impressive in this.

[@TTM-1999]

I can't believe after years of listening to Jocktober over and over, I now know who "BLANKSY" is.. and I'll enjoy when Scott confuses him with BANKSY even more now..

[@nateg9770]

😆👍

[@martineastman9855]

Now Todd has a premiun podcast that he's trying to sell. So, ya know-- pay for the stuff you wouldn't listen to when it was free.

[@goodcatholicfun]

Wow I never would’ve guessed that Erock would be a good host but he is awesome. A+

[@snarkynader9400]

Weak sauce

[@ednakrabapoly]

​@@snarkynader9400I like the garlic butter weak saauuuuuu

[@vickdumm9935]

This Nagel kid is one of the best radio hosts in the world.

[@LigerFan]

Idea! One gets fired for taping people taking a dump at work! The other gets a legend fired and tanks the station in less than a year! It’s the Opie & Todd Show!

[@Fittsburgh]

AWESOME SAUCE!

[@Doncarpenterradio]

I wonder what station in Delaware it was. There are only three of them and I worked at one of them years ago.

[@markwilliams7054]

nana meatballs

[@544CampStreet]

Feed Nana!

[@Janzer_]

Meatballs hates his radio name just like Opie 😂

[@okiedouk]

Chip's guns don't go off.

[@kingpoopra6084]

This episode brought to you Mama Mancinis meatballs.

[@blender124]

I wish Erock had a little more work ethic. He really should have been in Sam’s spot. Erock is pretty good on the mic but just didn’t have the desire to go the extra mile. Sam really should have been in Eric’s current position of desperately holding onto a position at Compound Media.

[@brianledezma1922]

Sadly WPLG FM is gone as we know it. I always ask myself if WPLJ would have had a better shot in the New York City market if cumulus sold it to either iHeart or intercom? Because I feel like any other company may have been able to produce better ideas that’s giving it better ratings for the station. Because Cumulus has never exactly been known to produce very profitable stations.

[@Theevil6ify]

Hay gaiz dis is Oliver Klossoff, and I'm buyin' wacky tobbacky from some colored fellas in Harlem! In Manhattan! Live and local!

[@agoo7581]

The simplest, and probably most likely explanation is that WPLJs staying power had long been expired, and the only thing keeping it alive was Scott Shannon's brand, once he left, there was no reason for anyone to watch it.

[@roberttulibacki7332]

E rock army nigga.

[@e2go]

Todd's awful but just listening to this guy I can totally hear why someone would think "Stunt Boy". What a dope.

[@jenperdsmonlapin6953]

True, doesnt make it ok to treat him the way they did though

[@Serenitynowwwww]

​@jenperdsmonlapin6953 exactly- just tell him, I need y9u to be jim blushing, what's a nickname you'd luke for that type of character?

[@tgunn2034]

Erik's voice sounds alot like Opie. I thought it was him at first. Good interview.

[@E101ification]

He doesn't sound remotely like Opie.

[@544CampStreet]

Opie is on the heros list so it makes sense. Erock Army!

[@shardsofteeth]

@@ShaunHopkinsAVFC good point

[@dannyvee163]

I thought opie was in the interview then i realized he wouldn’t do extra with Hawk

[@Janzer_]

Sounds like Todd just doesn't like fat people.

[@skenyon013]

The Philly accent is awful

[@ammagnolia]

Erock wasn't a good interviewer lol

[@notsusan]

he's no ronnie b, but he's better at it than o&a
