Three childhood neighborhood friends join me this week as we dust off old memories and immediately realize that it’s a miracle we all made it to adulthood. Same block, same chaos, only this time the scrapes were inside our he...

On this episode, a longtime friend and I laugh our way through billion-dollar coin flips that involve missing limbs, missing senses, accelerated aging, and permanent facial changes. Is the money worth it? Well, the laughs cer...

This week, my daughter joins me for a hilariously spirited test of the limits of logic, morality, and vanity. We laugh our way through billion-dollar coin flips with truly unacceptable consequences, emotional reactions at the...

This week, my brother and our childhood friend are back and we get even more ridiculous. Join us as we laugh our way through the creative games and competitions that defined our youth and helped shape our lives. They were fun...

This week, my high school friend and I relive our wild days and nights, including Ski Club exploits and our mutual appreciation of The Who in concert. From front-row fortune to highly questionable seating strategies, we talk ...

This week, my brother and our neighborhood friend join me to relive the wild, snowy chaos of our childhood. Hop on with us as we revisit a time when snow days meant freedom, danger, and deeply questionable decisions. No helme...

He’s still in Witness Protection. Same anonymous guest. Same questionable judgment. We revisit college chaos, bond over growing up broke, and uncover the exact moment a man enthusiastically agrees to lose anything. Some convi...

This week, I’m joined by a high school friend I hadn’t seen in decades as we exhume our Catholic school years. Unruly students and discipline that crossed into legend along with cheating plans so overengineered they accidenta...

Had a blast with my brother Jim and our old neighborhood friend Pete who joined me to revisit the wild, chaotic, and downright unbelievable moments from our very Dysfunctional Neighborhood.

This week’s guest has been relocated… to our studio. For his protection (and maybe yours), he’s entered our Witness Protection Program. We’re hiding his face, his name, and possibly even his dignity. Protecting the innocent —...

The energy and laughter really picked up steam in Part 2, "War Games", with Jim and Pete as we re-live some of the stupidest and hilarious moments of our lives. Regrettable?...well, maybe, but all too often it's the stupid th...

The doors open. The surreal is now real. And somewhere between absurdity and enlightenment… we find ourselves laughing in the madness. This week, please join my sister Erin and I on Dysfunctional Dialogue: “The Tie That Binds...

This week on Dysfunctional Dialogue , my guest, Erin McParland, lives halfway between dreamland and doodle — where reality is hand-drawn and logic wears bright colors. She tells us how her beautiful, hysterical, cartoon-fille...

This week’s episode wasn’t planned — but neither were most of our best stories. My longtime friend and college roommate, Brian Smith, surprised me with a visit, so naturally, we hit record. We then turned decades of questiona...

This week, on Dysfunctional Dialogue, I’m joined by Vince August who’s seen both sides of judgment — literally. A former judge turned comedian, he talks about balancing the bench and the mic, and how “dying on stage” is the l...
