New show. Same friends. Strong opinions about pizza.

Robb and Josh kick off Still Talkin’ with a celebration of the Founders who made it possible—and a $74 pizza lunch Josh can’t let go. From questionable “best pizza” bragging rights to favorite local slices, the conversation becomes a full-blown debate about what makes a pizza worth the price.

Plus: Robb’s lifelong obsession with radio jingles, Josh’s questionable AI-generated theme songs, detention memories, unusual Oreo flavors, and the growing headache of streaming subscriptions. It’s the first official episode, and the rabbit holes are already open for business.

[SPEAKER_00]: This is Jerry Howe found the listener 074.

[SPEAKER_00]: I was here at the beginning.

[SPEAKER_00]: I know things.

[SPEAKER_00]: You're listening to still talk and with Rob and Josh.

[SPEAKER_02]: Rob Spuac.

[SPEAKER_02]: You know, I was looking at the opening animation by the way, beautiful job.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, but

[SPEAKER_01]: As I've just finished watching Coyote vs. Acme for these second time, and as my wife literally said to me, you know everything you watch on TV you would have watched when you were 12.

[SPEAKER_01]: She said you have not matured.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I said, well, I guess you're right.

[SPEAKER_01]: There's a problem.

[SPEAKER_01]: They characterized the Coyote so well in that movie, but there's a problem with our animation.

[SPEAKER_01]: It looks like in many of the scenes that I'm frustrated with you.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_01]: When in fact, it really should be the other way around.

[SPEAKER_01]: No, because I think I frustrated you more than you frustrated me.

[SPEAKER_04]: It does.

[SPEAKER_04]: For some reason, it has me as like panic and spinning around and stuff.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.

[SPEAKER_04]: And you're the frustrated, like, calm one.

[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's not the way it goes.

[SPEAKER_04]: No, no, no.

[SPEAKER_01]: But I am wearing a W, I non-LogoWVU hoodie.

[SPEAKER_01]: I do like that.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I'm in a I'm in an orals shirt, but it's sort of like a not logo to orals.

[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's like one you could sell without any logo issues, right?

[SPEAKER_04]: Well, it's I think it's got the Orioles look.

[SPEAKER_04]: I think it's got like this one of their city.

[SPEAKER_01]: Can I bees or something kind of or just a different bird or the how do you feel about in the 70s like the cartoon bird the classic cartoon Oriole bird.

[SPEAKER_04]: I like like most of the logos they've done with.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I think that when they switched when they switched to the realistic like profile of the actual bird standing.

[SPEAKER_01]: I thought that looked how how would we say back then look tough with tougher tougher look.

[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I think it's a classic, look, now a classy look, so I like it.

[SPEAKER_04]: They are back to the Cartoon Bird now, which was, it's fine.

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I also don't care for the, the Padre's when they actually show like a monk swinging a bat.

[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's stupid.

[SPEAKER_04]: For the, the Padre's little cartoon guy reminds me too much of like the Flintstones or something.

[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.

[SPEAKER_01]: And is it, I didn't expect to come in and start talking sports with you.

[SPEAKER_01]: And I guess are not talking about this is talking well good mascot's I could that I can do I'm well versed Investments mascot so this is still talking.

[SPEAKER_01]: This is exciting because although it's a would you call this soft launch?

[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but but this is our official number one.

[SPEAKER_01]: This is still talking Oh, one and thank you everyone for joining us.

[SPEAKER_01]: We got people in the chat.

[SPEAKER_01]: We're good to go but mostly

[SPEAKER_01]: our founders, which we only talked about a week ago today.

[SPEAKER_01]: That's when we really debuted.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's something we ask.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's staggering.

[SPEAKER_01]: It's really amazing that I clicked before we opened up the show today.

[SPEAKER_01]: 107 folks and I love that you've numbered them.

[SPEAKER_01]: 107 folks have signed up to be founders.

[SPEAKER_01]: And that is such a enthusiastic and encouraging thing because it means you're into what we're doing as much as we are.

[SPEAKER_04]: So thank you.

[SPEAKER_04]: when we launched this, I said, if we can get 100 listeners in the first month, yeah, that means we're really on the something.

[SPEAKER_01]: And this is not just listeners.

[SPEAKER_01]: These are people that are invested, literally invested.

[SPEAKER_01]: They are founders.

[SPEAKER_01]: And what blows my mind, I, there's a lot of names I see.

[SPEAKER_00]: This is Jerry Howe found the listener 074. [SPEAKER_00]: I was here at the beginning. [SPEAKER_00]: I know things. [SPEAKER_00]: You're listening to still talk and with Rob and Josh.

[SPEAKER_01]: And this is not just listeners. [SPEAKER_01]: These are people that are invested, literally invested. [SPEAKER_01]: They are founders. [SPEAKER_01]: And what blows my mind, I, there's a lot of names I see. [SPEAKER_01]: And the people that I knew, I tried to reach out and thank personally, because it's a big deal. [SPEAKER_01]: But there are so many names among the 177 that [SPEAKER_01]: mentally addicted to figuring out who's who I don't know their names no and I don't know for Facebook friends or if they're T.M. [SPEAKER_01]: OS fans or what the deal is but the fact that there's all this new blood that's investing is very thrilling. [SPEAKER_04]: I am so excited about our founders I love yes we gave them numbers because it's something to be proud of you should be proud we had we started this show with Jerry and uh he's number 74 [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, exactly. [SPEAKER_04]: Keep sending in that audio. [SPEAKER_04]: We already got a bunch of you guys sending it in. [SPEAKER_04]: Keep sending that in. [SPEAKER_04]: Got it in email about it right now. [SPEAKER_04]: There are what three episodes up there for you for founders. [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, with founder episodes. [SPEAKER_01]: We got a, how did we get here with you? [SPEAKER_01]: How did you get here with me? [SPEAKER_01]: And then one that I'm particularly proud of, which is our declaration of principles episode. [SPEAKER_01]: We'll also put some of that stuff online, but we want you to know where our head is at as we start the program. [SPEAKER_01]: Again, one of my thrilling parts of the day is, uh, Carrie comes home and Robert comes home and I'm, of course, already home. [SPEAKER_01]: But we're all seated together in the living room we talk about our day and they've got amazing stories about special ed kids that are making huge breakthroughs and parents and stuff like that. [SPEAKER_01]: There was a staff meeting yesterday where the, uh, the principal actually spotlighted Robert. [SPEAKER_01]: saying that you know for a guy who's been teaching two weeks his classroom is running smooth a silk and he's faced a lot of challenges and they just spot and I mean my my my chest is bursting right because I'm blank I blink and I remember this is a little kid and now he's actually running a classroom so they all talk about all the stuff they do all I've got is to tell them how many founders we've got. [SPEAKER_01]: That's good. [SPEAKER_01]: But I I said to Robert I said we've got a hundred last night was 104 103. [SPEAKER_01]: I said was and I said we got 103 founders and they're all numbered and he said why I said because Josh said we could do lotteries. [SPEAKER_01]: He said fire [SPEAKER_04]: I did say maybe I did, I still my favorite idea is make them make people line up by their listener number. [SPEAKER_01]: I like that. [SPEAKER_01]: But when we do the still talking flight to somewhere, like I don't know where we go, like maybe Iceland and everyone has to sit. [SPEAKER_04]: No, but it's something the number is so you can brag in the future. [SPEAKER_04]: Exactly. [SPEAKER_04]: There'll be a lot more listeners than 107 and you want to be in those top 107s. [SPEAKER_04]: You were there from the beginning before we even launched episode one. [SPEAKER_01]: In my fantasy, we will eventually get to a point where we will be able to take live calls if we need to. [SPEAKER_01]: We're not going to rely on it, but we can do it. [SPEAKER_01]: And it will recall the days of the Rod and Fez Show when they would take a call. [SPEAKER_01]: And I'd say like, hey, it's Rob Spuac. [SPEAKER_01]: Biggest listener number 78. [SPEAKER_01]: And then they go say my, whoah, you know, it's so cool. [SPEAKER_01]: I love it. [SPEAKER_04]: Love it. [SPEAKER_04]: Okay. [SPEAKER_04]: So if you want to be a founder, you can go to still talking, no G, still talkingpodcast.com. [SPEAKER_01]: Right. [SPEAKER_04]: And it's 150 to be around $3,000, which includes a year of premium shows, a T-shirt, a button, a pin, and then stickers and currently three episodes that are only for founders with at least one more. [SPEAKER_04]: We've promised for, but I'm pretty sure we're going to end up doing more than four. [SPEAKER_01]: This is a this is a prototype of the pin so it's it looks something like that Yeah, it's absolutely an amol and say that you were a found in listener exactly exactly I didn't want to pony up the money So I just got a generic plastic pin. [SPEAKER_04]: Oh, those were those were test pins [SPEAKER_01]: Test pins. [SPEAKER_01]: I have it's just it's a thrilling thing and know that if you are a founding member you do literally get everything and more Yeah, so if you are into what we're doing, please jump aboard and you are a founder forever Oh, you can't be taking what if you get cancer when when found in membership's closes Yeah, we're still gonna do stuff for founders [SPEAKER_01]: What if someone let's I'm not even going to say a number or a name, but they come out and they say I love Speedy Gonzalez cartoons. [SPEAKER_01]: Can they be canceled and removed from the wall? [SPEAKER_01]: Founders wall, you know what? [SPEAKER_01]: No, because I look forward to our first founder in prison Well, you know what I imagine that in prison we'd be quite popular [SPEAKER_01]: Yes, but the word founder and I mean the show not if we were actually in prison But I think we'd be very popular for you the way we're not bad looking Okay, so speaking of this still talk in is actually under the umbrella of The podcasters warehouse, which is a Josh Sroke founded company that he's allowed me to come along for on the ride [SPEAKER_01]: And we have clients and we do work and it's fun because when I quit a previous podcast in company job, I wasn't having any fun at all. [SPEAKER_01]: And this is great. [SPEAKER_01]: I think right now I'm having the most fun working with Tony Perkins and Gary Stein with you got to be kidding me. [SPEAKER_01]: It's a blast. [SPEAKER_04]: Oh yeah, and you do a great job over there. [SPEAKER_04]: There's show sounds great. [SPEAKER_01]: Um, well, we, we focus on that. [SPEAKER_01]: So I was thinking, you know what, so many of the big podcast companies that I thought like Limonata is one. [SPEAKER_01]: They have a little logo that they run either at the front or the end of the podcast. [SPEAKER_04]: Like an audio logo. [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, like, like, for example, if it was NBC, a bomb bomb bomb and you associated with that company, so last night, gummy free by the way, I just started away. [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, absolutely. [SPEAKER_04]: You were texted me and I'm like, he is having so much fun. [SPEAKER_04]: He has to be on gummies. [SPEAKER_01]: No, I just, okay, I wrote it on Facebook. [SPEAKER_01]: I said, guess what, radio jingles, I love them so much. [SPEAKER_01]: And I do, as a kid would tape jingles off the radio on cassette tape. [SPEAKER_01]: Then I figured out I could write to the jam creative productions in Dallas, Texas. [SPEAKER_01]: and they would mail you demos back in the day on four inch reels of tape. [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, not cassette CD. [SPEAKER_01]: And so my dad had a barely functioning real-to-real deck from when he was a hot rock and 70s high-five guy. [SPEAKER_01]: And so he would transfer them for me then the CDs happen and then they're all online and then there's trading communities and everything. [SPEAKER_01]: So I'm thinking, you know what? [SPEAKER_01]: is the warehouse, the podcasters warehouse, what logo no one has is a real jingle, like a real song 1980, not a radical thing, but a real. [SPEAKER_01]: Right, right, like where you get seven people in a room and they sing. [SPEAKER_01]: Now, I have some experience with them, of course, because, and yes, I am being self-serving right now. [SPEAKER_01]: For example, a jingle has two elements, uh, vocally. [SPEAKER_01]: It can be a shout, [SPEAKER_01]: or it could be a thing and so the best thing i was able to figure out is how to m
