The Cure For Boredom

The guest hosts have been reviewed, the loose ends have been tied up, and the boys have completed a little much-needed show housekeeping. Now it's time for the main event: Jim's long-awaited vacation recap! After a week away, Jim returns with a marathon rundown of his adventures through New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. From the sights and sounds of the Big Apple to the his...

Jim's on vacation. Kevin and Dan have the microphones. And Steve is making sure he gets credit where credit is due. With Jim off exploring the East Coast, longtime listeners and former guests Kevin and Dan step into the hosting chairs for their first official takeover of The Cure for Boredom. What could possibly go wrong? The guys cover all their favorite things, from TV and nostalgia to tract...

Artificial intelligence is getting smarter. Unfortunately, it’s been spending time learning about us. This week on The Cure for Boredom, Steve puts AI to work answering political texts before making the questionable decision to ask it about our show. The results? Surprisingly interesting, mildly disturbing, and potentially more self-awareness than two guys with microphones should ever be exposed t...

100 SHOWS! WE CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE STILL WATCHING! We've officially hit the century mark! That's right, The Cure for Boredom is celebrating its 100th show, and naturally, we're marking the occasion the only way we know how: talking about whatever happens to be going on in our world. This week, we catch up on current happenings, look back at some of our favorite moments from the...

We made it to show #99… and apparently decided the best way to celebrate was to have absolutely no plan whatsoever. This week, the boys sit down, hit record, and wing it for 90 minutes. No real agenda. No carefully planned segments. No idea where the conversation is going. Just two guys talking, telling stories, chasing random rabbit holes, and somehow managing to fill an hour and a half. After 99...

There’s a lot of NEW(S) this week on The Cure for Boredom! We check out some new clips and movie trailers, catch up on Jim’s New York trip, and take a look at some of the latest happenings in our world. We also discuss new replacement hosts, new trucks, and plenty of other new stuff that somehow turns into the usual collection of stories, opinions, and random detours. New trailers. New clips. New...

This week, the boys tackle one of the most dangerous debates in comedy: who belongs on the Top 10 list of stand-up comedians of all time? We debate the legends, make some tough choices, defend our favorites, and inevitably question each other's picks. Who makes the list? Who gets left out? And which comedian is going to cause the biggest argument? Steve also recaps his award-winning LEGO excur...

Dan is back in the studio—and this time, he’s bringing a little mystery with him. The boys crack open a Clink Room Mystery Hat Box and find out what’s hiding inside. Will we get a hat that’s an instant classic, a completely bizarre design, or something nobody saw coming? As always, the unboxing turns into plenty of opinions, laughs, questionable decisions, and the usual Cure for Boredom conversati...

After years of questionable evidence, questionable segments, and some serious doubts from the boys, Steve finally has medical proof that he actually has a heart. It turns out there really is something beating in there after all. With the baseball season coming to an end, we look back on the final stretch of the year and get an update on the truck. Then, because apparently we have nothing better to...

This week, we’re back to our roots—and apparently back to fighting technology. Steve is attempting to run the show from a hotel at the LEGO convention, where the internet has decided that podcasting is not a priority. Technical difficulties, questionable connections, and plenty of improvising follow, but somehow the boys manage to get a show together. Along the way, we talk about the latest Dolly...

This week, Dan joins the boys for a special edition of The Cure for Boredom—and there’s one rule: we’ve got a tight hour. With everyone agreeing ahead of time that the show needs to stay on schedule, the boys attempt to catch up on everything happening in the Cure for Boredom world without wandering too far down the usual rabbit holes. Of course, having a “tight hour” and actually sticking to one...

This week, Steve has a story that literally hits a little too close to home. He recaps his week after getting smoked by a foul ball, resulting in what can only be described as great bodily injury—and, naturally, the boys have plenty to say about it. Then we turn our attention to one of the greatest comedies of all time: Caddyshack. We take a look at an AI-generated re-casting of the classic and de...

As promised this week, we're taking a trip back to the glory days of television with our reaction to the first-ever Battle of the Network Stars. Actors, athletes, questionable competition, and enough 1970s television nostalgia to make you wonder how any of these people were considered celebrities in the first place. But that's not all—we also discover a little-known television gem called H...

This week, we somehow manage to connect Abe Vigoda, Spider-Man, and politics in a way that only this show can. Whether it's nostalgia, superheroes, current events, or complete nonsense, the conversation takes more twists than a comic book storyline. Along the way, we catch up on another week in our lives, share a few stories, chase some unexpected rabbit holes, and prove once again that no top...

The World Cup is officially in the rearview mirror, so this week we look back at the tournament, the big moments, the surprises, the disappointments, and whatever else we can pretend we actually understand about international soccer. But because this is us, we eventually get from the World Cup to an inception colonoscopy . Yes, you read that correctly. Somehow, one conversation takes us from the b...

This week, we're back with another look at the wonderfully random lives we lead. We break down the World Cup Final, share another week's worth of stories, and somehow end up discussing a handicapped raccoon and why Robbie Williams is playing a monkey. Trust us—it makes about as much sense as it sounds. As always, the conversation goes completely off the rails with plenty of laughs, questio...

This week, we're putting the power in your hands as we try to decide where Jim should stay on his upcoming New York City adventure. Will it be luxury, location, or something completely unexpected? We weigh the options and need your help making the final call. Along the way, we dive into the latest World Cup action, recap Steve's Fourth of July weekend at the ballpark, and hear all about Ji...

This week the boys celebrate America’s 250th the only way they know how — by yelling over each other, going off topic immediately, and somehow turning every conversation into complete chaos. Between patriotic nonsense and random detours, the guys squeeze in some World Cup talk, baseball updates, and a collection of sports takes that may or may not hold up by next week. There’s also a healthy amoun...

This week the boys fully embrace the art of absolutely winging it. From World Cup talk to random life updates to conversations that somehow start in sports and end in places nobody saw coming, this episode covers a little bit of everything — and somehow also nothing at the same time. The guys break down the latest World Cup storylines, hand out a few completely questionable takes, and continue the...

The World Cup chaos continues this week as the boys return with more completely reasonable soccer takes and several opinions that probably should’ve stayed off the internet. They break down the latest matches, biggest surprises, controversial moments, and the growing realization that every fanbase becomes unhinged during tournament play. Somehow, despite watching a lot of soccer, the analysis stil...

Week 2 of the World Cup is here, and this week Jim is joined by special guest Gravy Mawashi to break down all the action, storylines, surprises, and disappointments from the tournament so far. The guys discuss the teams that are rising, the teams that are falling apart, and the players who have become must-watch TV. They also offer their completely unbiased and occasionally informed opinions on wh...

This week the boys take a deep dive into the upcoming World Cup — despite possessing only slightly more expertise than the average guy yelling at his TV.They break down the teams, the storylines, the contenders, and make a few predictions that are guaranteed to be either brilliant or immediately embarrassing. Along the way, the conversation wanders into the usual collection of random sports takes,...

This week Jim is feeling a little under the weather, which leaves Steve unsupervised — and that's never a good thing. With one host running at less than full strength, the conversation drifts into baseball, where Steve decides it's finally time to begin work on his completely unnecessary baseball fan fiction masterpiece. Will it be a compelling sports drama? A baseball romance? A cautionar...

This week the boys celebrate a major milestone as Jim’s mom turns 80 — and thankfully, none of the hosts are anywhere close to that… at least that’s the story they’re sticking to. The crew also recaps Week 1 of Steve’s baseball season, including early-season chaos, sore muscles, and the growing realization that recovery gets a little harder every year. The conversation also turns to the shocking p...

This week the boys gather once again to talk about… honestly, not much at all — and somehow still turn it into a full episode. Steve gives updates on the start of his new baseball season, including the excitement, chaos, and growing realization that recovery time isn’t what it used to be. Meanwhile, Jim dives deep into his latest obsession: the Alone. From survival strategies to the mental breakdo...
