Strangely Familiar

Are we still changing the game? Just ask the birthday boy, Jeff. How about a bar that gives you free doubles when you turn 21 again (i.e., free shots for 42-year-olds). We’re on to something, and we’re 42! The world-famous Tyson Foerster hockey card auction ends this weekend! Get your bids in by 5/24! It’s guaranteed to be the only hockey card slash podcast crossover card, and has the potential to...

Here it is, StrangeFam: https://ebay.us/m/uez7tJ The world-famous Tyson Foerster card auction! It's a 1 of 1! Note: if you're reading this after 5.24.2025, the auction is done, and Matt and Jeff are probably retired from hockey card gains! But thanks for listening! It's Leo season. Papal thrillers. Being born in 2002. The longest screen share ever. This episode has it all! linktr.ee/st...

We started a hot, new game on this podcast. We think we’ll call it Liquidating(?). Play along at home. Stanley Cup Playoffs. Ultimate gym motivation. Wild West internet. Barcade musts. What happened to Led Zeppelin? Beatallica.      linktr.ee/strangefam - Other formats and links

Hors d'oeuvres vs main courses. Getting “Iced” at a wedding. Collecting hobbies. Ghosts playing coy. Sleep paralysis. Redbox in the right spot.   linktr.ee/strangefam - Other formats and links

Live Metallica. WrestleMania. The Pope. Starburst jellybeans. What a weekend! How does a person end up becoming a regular on sports talk radio? Help us out, please.  linktr.ee/strangefam - Other formats and links

Stick around for a toilet paper recommendation that will change your life, StrangeFam! Matt has to decide between Metallica and WrestleMania this weekend. Still better than the debit card reckoning he's procrastinating on. Jeff is the most prepared guy in the passport line, and his eyes are always smizing. Plus, dystopian futures, Silly Pacino, and Nintendo Switch 2 hype. linktr.ee/strangefam...

Look out, StrangeFam! We’ve got new hobbies. Matt is getting into “the hobby”. Pack breaks included. Those are the words people in “the hobby” say. Are you living in the Shyamalan-iverse? Or are you more Shyamalan-averse? And, who’s winning the great James Marsden vs. Josh Hartnett war that everyone definitely has in their mind? Rochester, NY, might be dope, as long as you don’t get murdered in th...

The Zack Attack is back, Jack! I'm so excited! I'm so excited! I'm so...soo....scared...that you might not have ever heard the greatest band in Saved by the Bell history. We got you covered. We're friends forever. Plus, some A+ VHS ASMR, the makings of a hot dog and prawn omelette, and a burgeoning baseball card collection that ignites before our eyes. linktr.ee/strangefam - Other...

Matt’s birthday. Bailing on a boy’s trip. Factory work. Drug busts. Hot Recs. Nudity. Video game movie fails. linktr.ee/strangefam - Other formats and links

We live in a life of chat SNAFUs and email pet peeves. How do you stack up? And let’s talk gym-showering. It’s only bested by gym-napping. Or gym-escaping-from-your-family. Plus, did you know there’s a spot in town where you can steal everything you want…for free?! Grab some Glade plugins, StrageFam, and let’s have a huff! linktr.ee/strangefam - Other formats and links

It’s a sad day for Matt. Brad Marchand is no longer a Boston Bruin, and these tears aren’t gonna cry themselves. But, hey- at least the sun will be up an hour longer! What fast food meal would we want named after ourselves? Taco Bell is in the mix, and we recommend surge pricing. And we recall the last time we dined in at a fast food “restaurant”. And when is feetinfruitjelly dot triple X going to...

In this episode, two friends dive into a whirlwind of hilarious and unexpected topics! First, they take on the iconic Family Feud—talking about their favorite moments and what it would be like to be a contestant. Then, things get a little awkward as they share cringe-worthy dental office interactions and the social dilemmas that come with them. As if that's not enough, they give their bold pre...

Hey, hey, shirt brother! What’s up with all the Canada Goose, eh? Please discuss amongst yourselves. Hope ya’ll are surviving winter and sh!t. Matt and Jeff revisited SNL’s 50th (on the Pea-cock). There was a Jack Handy reference and everything! What’s it like to have lived for half of Paul McCartney’s life!? And how does one F up a surprise party convo? That, and more, on another episode of Upsta...

Super Bowl parade and Valentine’s Day debriefs yield our new pitch for championships and our greatest non-sexual fantasies. Plus, we share some of our random SNL memories and some of Jack Handy’s Deep Thoughts. Which kept us going as awkward humans in the 90s.  Meat food. Sunny D Seltzers. Advanced government. And more! linktr.ee/strangefam - Other formats and links

A surprise guest on Matt’s trip to Boston. Super Bowl recaps. Bar fights. Gambling. Etc. This description is so short because the episode was recorded mere hours ago. And also, no one ever reads it.  Let’s get through the dog days of winter, friends! linktr.ee/strangefam - Other formats and links

YEET to you and yours! Let’s talk about how tariff-ic life is right now! This ep feels pretty raw, like sushi…or Monday Night. We were in a mood. Can we talk about cats and coffee? Sure. But why are we feeling so negative about the world lately? And is that okay? And can we do anything about it?  Things will get better soon…they have to…just cause math… But let’s not digress on our discussion of t...

Matt visits Jeff in Jersey for this episode! He’s gone through the podcast portal to share the tale of Apple Watch puckered b-holes. We’ve endured the highest of highs during this epic weekend hang of millennial gamblers. Analog pr0n. Mystery DVDs. Major trivia awards. Stealthy Creed blitzkriegs. Arena seat recommendations. MacGruber. Surprise hangs. Road trips.    linktr.ee/strangefam - Other for...

Jeff’s in town! And that’s all you really need to know. The sound is a little better than last time so…you know—just a little. Plus you don’t read this anyway. Don't worry about Matt’s upcoming plans to be at Jeff’s place next week, or Matt’s story about meeting his wife. Don’t worry about Jeff’s pride in watching Matt adopt his public persona (cue Chris Farley “Angry” sound clip). Yadda yadda yad...

We’ve gotta be honest with you StrangeFam. If you make it through this whole episode, you’re a real one. Even after 103 episodes, we still run into the occasional audio issues. Is it the worst? Nah. You’ll be okay. The important thing is we noticed the audio was off in the beginning, and we didn’t do anything about it. Please enjoy! We’re rolling change for change and talking about the rainiest of...

There are no dry runs here, StrangeFam. We’ve got a guest for the first time, and this run is about to get wet!  Matt’s longtime friend, who has met Jeff on a couple of occasions (somehow), joins to talk about becoming friends with Matt, his live-music performing journey, and why he’s jealous of Jeff. This is new for us. We’re trying things. Wait until you hear about our New Year’s Resolutions. Th...

Happy New Year, StrangeFam! A new calendar is a time for reflection, whether we like it or not. Jeff brought the heat by exposing Matt to some of their hottest topics from Episodes 1-5.  What’s the scoop on shrooms? Are we emotionally intelligent yet? Is this fire? Matt makes the argument that placebos are the greatest drugs. We learn that there’s nothing more punk than breaking promises. And sayi...

Merry, merry, StrangFam! It’s Christmas Day and the real miracle is Matt and Jeff have recorded an episode of this show for 100 weeks in a row! We bring back all of our “greatest” “bits”. The Wheel of Convenience guides us through Scrolled’em, Reverse Family Feud, Hot Recs, and more. What have you done 100 times in our lives? And what’s the future of the show? An announcement at the end will chang...

It’s the Wayne Gretzky of podcast episodes: the Great One! We’ve got bar faux pas, Matt’s communist agenda, and a Korn-ucopia of 1999 pop culture. What was it like to live in a world where a Star Wars prequel was released in theaters? Let some real-life Taco Bell employees tell you all about it.   We survived the Blair Witch and the birth of found footage content. And how has Jeff never seen SIxth...

Wake up, StrangeFam! The sun is about to explode! Save yourselves! Save your inanimate objects! Random question of the week: is your CEO still alive? The country is really feeling quite United this week. Plus, the best of 1998: Saving Private Ryan, Beastie Boys, Ocarina of Time, and more! linktr.ee/strangefam - Other links and formats

Yo StrangeFam! we're about to get Balls-dur's deep into all of our favorite things. We've got NHL, magic tricks, and debauchery. Did we mention these were Matt's favorite things from 1997? Jeff relived his Skanksgiving live show where he may or may not have been picking up pennies. He's a Superman. And how does a Thanksgiving hang with the family go when one person steals a star from another in Ma...
