Dysfunctional Dialogue

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 physi...

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 l...

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!

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.

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 adve...

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”.

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.

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.

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 si...

This week’s episode was a bit of an editing adventure with four guests joining me—but it was worth every second. My brother and a few of our childhood friends stopped by to relive the stories from our pre-teen and teenage years. We laughed our way through the memories of the riotous transition from innocent kids to slightly more raucous and reckless versions of ourselves.

Joined by my son, John, we begin with a discussion about preserving life’s memories and quickly find ourselves in a series of Twilight Zone-style questions about privacy, memory, and the cost of having your entire life documented. A great discussion which ranged from reflective to surreal to thought-provoking and downright hilarious.

This week, my longtime neighborhood crew returns as we laugh our way through the lessons learned of What Not To Do when corrupting each other growing up. Organized sports, school mornings, family dinners and concerts were all placed in jeopardy by poor decisions and terribly hysterical timing. The picture of how it all helped mold us becomes more clear, however blurry it may have been along the wa...

This week, my daughter joins me as we wander straight into the wonderfully ridiculous side of hypothetical thinking. Together, we weigh the social cost of viral embarrassment, the awkward physics of public composure, and the deeply unsettling idea of existing on paper while being suddenly unknown to everyone including our loved ones. Naturally, we laugh far more than we solve anything. Logic was i...

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 heads as we jolted each other with funny memories that we can all relate to.

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 certainly were. Enjoy!

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 worst possible moments, and discover just how quickly money stops feeling worth it.

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, imaginative, and occasionally hovering on the edge of the law, though mostly harmless.
