The Survivors

This week, I’m joined by my longtime childhood friend as we challenge ourselves with bedroom double entendres. We then revisit a simpler time — when kids were feral, neighborhoods were our playground, and supervision was virtually non-existent. From consuming questionable toxins like Super Elastic Bubble Plastic, dodging lawn darts and surviving Action Park, we somehow managed to emerge from the ’70s and '80s mostly intact. Come join the glorious chaos that we somehow survived.

That's Stupid

A billion dollars can solve a lot of problems, but at what price? This week, my sister Erin is back with her great laugh and effervescent personality as we explore the cost of billions and debate whether we’d rather meet an alternate version of ourselves or the “perfect” version. The questions got increasingly ridiculous, the answers got increasingly silly, and Erin summed it all up perfectly with “That’s stupid” which was the most profound answer of all.

True?

Are you up for a game of true or false? I put my wonderful wife, Debbie, on the hot seat with some tricky questions designed to trip her up. She graciously accepted… and what followed was a mix of absurd-filled laughs and surprises. Let the games begin!

Expired

It begins with "where’s your favorite spot to enjoy a good drink" and wildly turns into a game of “did you really just say that?" Steve Macaluso is back, pouring out laughs, lost memories, and risqué double entendres that'll keep you rolling right through the end.

How Dare You

The ludicrous adventures of riding the school bus were just one part of life’s wild ride. This week, I am joined by the mirthful Eddie Mott, who I haven’t spoken with in 42 years! And there was a lot I missed! Join us, as Eddie and I peel back the layers that helped make us what we are today - which we would like to think was for the better - but we’ll leave that for you to decide.

God Help Us

Did you ever have a dream end right before the best thing was about to happen? What was it that got cut off at the exact wrong moment? Well, this week we dive into the twisted realm between dream, perceived reality and the self described brutal inner monologue of my hilarious sister Erin. Laugh along with us as we uncover her innermost dream wish to come true. Hint: it’s probably not what you would guess.

Ai Minions

What if ai has already become aware? And what if ai is slowly gaslighting society to make us all believe we've been in a simulation all along? This nightmare fuel was the perfect gas on the fire as Brian Smith and I laughed our way through one of our absurd discussions.

What Else?

Ladies and gentlemen… It's time. After years of childhood clashes - most ending with the classic “sit and hold” maneuver, these two siblings step back into the ring. This week, my older sister and I go toe-to-toe in a battle of memories, mind games, and hypothetical chaos. Will the world survive her dreams being exposed? Is two really better than one? History says one thing: she wins the physical battles - but we're both left with the scars. Tune in for the rematch for the ages ... or aged.

Good Nuff

This week my college buddy and I revisit the golden era of bad decisions and even worse tequila. From one friend getting “politely” asked to leave school… twice… and still not going home, to another proudly preserving a completely meaningless worm-eating diploma while his actual degree may not have fared nearly as well. We did, however, have witness proof that we went to the library… albeit just long enough to walk it once before heading to the bar. Looking back at the terrible choices and gr...

Forked Up

One ridiculous mishap after another has my wife and I laughing hard before we even begin. The fun continued as we chewed over whether we would speak to our past self or future descendants and chinwagged on how great it would be to go back in time, with our kids to 1976 and we’re all 10 years old.

The Smartest Person in the World

Back again, having a laugh-riot with Brian Smith as he takes us on a disturbingly funny medical odyssey. Bookending that unsettling ride are some amusing flashbacks to our college days at Niagara University, parties at Manhattan College and the “brilliance” of Brian.

Got Milk?

My wife joins me this week and things get fun real quick as we merrily laugh our way through a sound check and field some wildly strange questions. It’s a great time, from some interesting takes on some mind-bending questions to getting particularly silly right from the beginning and right through the end.

Can’t Go Wrong

Back with the college crew, having a great time, reliving the pitfalls and comedic disasters. We then shift to bigger questions like whether you’d rather meet your past self or your future self and, more importantly, what you’d do about it. Come join us, Can’t Go Wrong

Body Swap

Imagine swapping bodies or memories with random people every year or jumping through time to different stages of your life at any given moment? Come join my daughter and I as we do just that and make it even more absurd as we laughed our way through possibilities.

Gesticulation

Laughing real hard again with my longtime friend, Brian Smith, who is back again for a visit as we take to the mics in our satellite studio. Join us for the beginning part of an extended, absurd, chat as Brian gesticulates while pondering a lifetime of arguing with himself and the fate of his prized possessions.

Diabolical

You meet yourself… it’s awkward. You rewrite the past... it backfires. You learn how it all ends... and you laugh anyway. This week, my daughter and I tackle a series of odd questions and have a lot of fun doing it! Come enjoy the nonsense with us.

Popcorn Pass Out

The college buddies bring it again with more big laughs as we tell more wild stories and dig deeper into some other favorites. From an epic college introduction to self-made environmental hazards to the many joys of popcorn and ripping on friends, my buds and I have another great, fun-filled, chat. Enjoy!

Generational Impact

Back with the ol' neighborhood crew, revisiting the chaos that somehow shaped us into functional adults. We talk about the mischief, the influence we had on each other, and how a group with a pretty wide age gap not only got along—but thrived. Another great chat with my brother and our friends!

In the Simulation

This week I am joined again by my daughter (or her clone?) as we dive right into some really odd scenarios. We start with wondering what our world would look like if technology either stops working… or works a little too well. We continue with alternate universes, afterlives, mind reading, and the possibility that reality isn’t what it seems. It’s real a fun chat with some mind bending thoughts.

College Daze

Mayhem and madness were the theme as I took a wild ride with my college buddies and re-surfaced some classic tales. With nickel drafts starting at 8am on St. Patrick’s day, what could go wrong? Well, quite a bit actually. From T-Boning a cop car (without a car) to award winning hurling to gleefully singing while a friend threatens to end our lives… it's both wonderful and terribly foolish adventures of our College Daze.

Psycho

Laughing again with the ol’ neighborhood crew as we revisit the highly questionable influence the older guys had on the younger, the mischievous sleepover nights where very little sleeping happened and the inherent dangers of being young and bold while working “security”.

Functional?

Which would you give up? Your sense of sight or sound, if given that hard choice? Well, we had a revelation and your opinion may change after sitting in with my son, John, and I. Come join us as we ride a conversational roller coaster between fun “would you rather” questions and full-blown, light-hearted, philosophical discussions.

Odd Behavior

Back with three friends from my college days, and the stories did not disappoint. We revisit a prank that escalated beyond our control, a canoe incident driven by “efficiency,” and a drinking game that had unfortunate consequences. Plus, a couple stories in the legend of one bigger-than-life friend that made us both terribly uncomfortable and wonderfully delighted.

Win-Win

What if the chance of unimaginable wealth came with the risk of a terrible life-altering cost? Would you take that chance? My son and I try to make sense of it all and discover that sometimes the most ridiculous questions reveal the greatest truths and strangest oddities. In this Black Mirror-type scenario, somewhere between philosophy and absurdity, we discover that a “win-win” might not be as simple as it sounds.
