Episode #200 - The Final Episode 15.10.2025

Yes, it's the final episode of Complaints & Observations and I'm reflecting on the past 5+ years by talking about some of the things I've talked about before. Riveting, eh!? Sports, politics and that's about it. I have some voicemails from great listeners and even better people, snack foods and then the final Three Gripes: Influencers, Artificial Intelligence & Podcasting.

Not An Episode #11 01.10.2025

Wishing all of you a very happy National Gov't Shutdown Day! Very exciting. I felt the need to ramble about that and some of what I feel are reasons behind it. Just phenomenal really. As it's Not An Episode, there's no music, no breaks and really makes no sense, but I also get into the Patriots, West Ham and finally the Red Sox. Just 2 weeks away from the final actual episode of this c...

Episode #199 - The Penultimate Episode, Sports & Three Gripes 17.09.2025

Well you finally got your wish as this nonsense is finally being wrapped up and this is the penultimate episode. That means second to last, you morons. Anyways, this week I'm talking the reasons behind the decision, martyrdom, the Red Sox, the Patriots and West Ham United. I also have a voicemail on the most famous dog of all time which is a great topic. Then it's on to Three Gripes: putti...

Episode #198 - Vegas, Football & Three Gripes 05.09.2025

I'm fairly certain that I sleepwalked through this one so it should give you a great idea how much awful it is! This week I'm talking about our weekend in Las Vegas, the Red Sox, West Ham, sports owners, famous dogs and probably more. Then it's Three Gripes: Airplane bathroom floors, people in the back of the plane being allowed to exit first and magicians. It's all here, but I for...

Just Gripes. 27.08.2025

It's not an episode, but it's not one of the old Not An Episode episodes. It's just a fat, old loser bloviating about petty nonsense. Exciting, eh!? I complain about "unalive", license plate frames/hobbies, company culture and Cracker Barrel. It's short, stale and mostly useless, but you should listen for the hypothetical skit that only I find funny! #TellYourFriends #Wor...

Episode #197 - Sports & Three Gripes 20.08.2025

A shorter episode, but filled with the host yelling into the mic! This week it's a bit of sports including the Red Sox being garbage again, Dollar Bill and West Ham starting the season and reminding me that I'm a moron for investing my time in energy in them! We also have a voicemail from Mike about a new band he likes and he reads song lyrics. Then it's on to Three Gripes: People who...

Episode #196 - Tom Brady, Red Sox, Streaming & Three Gripes 09.08.2025

Episode 196 - A slight delay, but only one of you actually cares! This week I'm yelling, ranting, raving and whatever else about greed, Tom Brady, the Red Sox, voicemails and now every thing is a thing and it's exhausting! Then it's Three Gripes: when your old teachers die, AI and gold ballrooms. Nah, it's not worth the wait, but that's on you, bub! #TellYourFriends #WorldsWors...

Episode 195 - Hogan, Sports & Three Gripes 30.07.2025

It's a literal flaming pile of trash this week. Aren't you excited!? This week I’m starting off with Hulk Hogan’s passing, followed by the Red Sox, the Patriots, West Ham and soccer as a whole. Then I’ve got two voicemails from our friend Mike including a WNBA update.  Finally it’s Three Gripes: People who still wear masks, people who like this heat & humidity and golf.  It’s all here...

Episode #194 - Ozzy, Voicemails & Three Gripes 24.07.2025

This week I’m starting off with my own tribute to the greatest of the greats, Ozzy Osbourne. I’m also talking about the Red Sox back to being garbage, training camp and pre-season actual football. I have to touch on politics because it’s still too absurd, but then I get to a couple of voicemails from old friend, Mike and another from new friend, Lori in Maine. Then it’s on to Three Gripes: the ter...

Episode #193 - Epstein, Soccer, UMass & Three Gripes 16.07.2025

It's another riveting episode of basically nothing! This week I again talk about Epstein and the positively insane reaction an episode post on Facebook. Then I get into the new character of professional soccer, Lamine Yamal, a bit of an All-Star Game review as well the Red Sox and UMass coaches & administrators. Four voicemails this week - two from All-Star caller, Mike and two from a new...

Episode #193 - Metal, Epstein & Three Gripes 09.07.2025

Back with another edition of whatever the hell this is! This week I'm talking about the floods in Texas and ghouls, the Greatest Day in Metal, Epstein, MLB All-Stars & the Red Sox and a brief bit on sports & math. Then I have 2 voicemails from friends Mike and Marc talking about the WNBA, weddings, Logan Express, F1 and being an overweight salesman. Then it's on to Three Gripes: Ca...

Episode #192 - Ronaldo, the NHL, Marriage & Three Gripes 02.07.2025

Ever wonder what it's like to listen to someone struggle to record a garbage podcast way too early in the morning? Well wonder no more!! This week I'm talking about politics because why the hell not before getting into the NHL labor agreement, Cristiano Ronaldo's new ludicrous contract, the cherished institution of marriage, I'm almost all set with Tom Brady and two voicemails from...

Episode #191 - Diddy, Bezos & Sports 25.06.2025

Back at it again with another lackluster episode for you to ignore! This week I'm talking about 250 years of history, Karen Read, Diddy, the Celtics moves before the draft, the Red Sox blow again and Jeff Bezos' ridiculous wedding. Then it's on to Three Gripes: weddings, people with cool names and getting old. It's all here and it's all just awful so be prepared! Check it out!

Episode #190 - Billionaires, Baseball & Three Gripes 18.06.2025

Back after a break due to life, I'm yelling this week about a few things including getting old, dizzy bat, billionaires, the Red Sox & Raffy Devers. Seriously though I'm yelling sometimes so be warned of quick bursts in volume and lack of working tech. Happy to have a couple voicemails from our friend Mike as well. Then it's onto Three Gripes: Public prayer, people who live in a bu...

Episode #189 - Hasselhoff, Maron, Real American & Three Gripes 04.06.2025

Just when you think I can't put out an episode worse than anything else, I go and top that for you! This week I go on about hobbies, men's fashion, Marc Maron and Rick Derringer before talking about David Hasselhoff and the Berlin Wall for some odd reason. I have a couple of voicemails from our friend Mike talking about immigration, the WNBA & fishing. Then it's Three Gripes: women...

Episode #188 - The Fifth Anniversary Show and Three Gripes 28.05.2025

The actual 5th anniversary of the show flew by without mention which should not come as a surprise, but here we are. This week I'm talking about how I'm all done with the Red Sox, good music and then bad music and about the last 5 years of the show along with the good fortune I've had to talk with some great people. Then it's on to Three Gripes: Capitalism, people who talk on plane...

Episode #187 - Bill Belichick, Pittsburgh & Three Gripes 27.05.2025

Better late than never...said no one who's ever listened to this crap! This (last) week I'm talking about the great Bill Belichick story and how I never want this to end. Then I'm spending a lot of time on the great city of Pittsburgh, Pearl Jam, the Pirates and lousy bars. Next we're on to FOUR Gripes this week: bad tattoos, racially stereotyping ride share drivers, talking at the...

Episode #186 - Politics, Baseball, Karen Read & Three Gripes 14.05.2025

Chock full o' crap! This week I'm starting with a bit of lousy political commentary because I feel like it. Then I'm talking baseball and specifically Aaron Judge, the Red Sox and dead ballplayers. Next I'll actually talk about Karen Read since I disappointed so many people last week, but this may not be much better! A couple of voicemails; one on Sirius XM while shaming your wife...

Episode #185 - Sports, Politics, Karen Read & Three Gripes 07.05.2025

Another week, another pile of crap! This week I'm talking about the Red Sox, the NFL Draft, the NBA & Karen Read before Movie Trailer Reviews, a couple of great voicemails and reviews of the Machine Head and AC/DC shows over the last couple of weeks. Then it's on to Three Gripes: People who drive with a regular coffee mug, scams and running to catch a train. It's all here and it&#3...

Episode #184 - WrestleMania, the Pope, Sports & Three Gripes 23.04.2025

Back after an unintended respite with far too much nonsense to talk about. I open with the Pope and how I find the word Pope to be funny for some unknown reason. Moving on to a huge WrestleMania review, a brief Masters review and a bit on Augusta National, over 50 women's soccer, and the NFL Draft. Then it's 4 awesome voicemails - 617-804-1557 - covering far too much before wrapping up wit...

Episode #183 - Sports!, Alien Weaponry & Three Gripes 09.04.2025

Back this week with only a slightly improved product. Slightly. This week I'm talking about the Oligarchs, the Red Sox, free concessions, the Potty Pit, Alien Weaponry, Ovechkin breaking Gretzky's record and how he's nothing but a compiler. I'm looking for your greats sports injustice so call in, 617-804-1557 and let me know! Three Gripes: kids who wear hats that don't fit, rub...

Episode #182 - Honestly, this one is boring as hell. 02.04.2025

I pride myself in being upfront and usually note that these are mostly crap, but this one is so bad that I almost put myself to sleep! I'm talking about hangovers, conversations, the Red Sox, WrestleMania, a mediocre idea that could be less so, a couple of excellent voicemails (617-804-1557) from the current #1 caller, Mike and a mystery text message. I also talk about aging way too much which...

Episode 181 - Sports, Movie Trailers, Voicemails & Three Gripes 26.03.2025

Much to your collective dismay, I'm back yet again with another edition of this garbage. Starting the show with a call to make a donation to a local business that just had a fire. Link in the bio. Then I'm talking sports including Stefon Diggs & the Pats, new Celtics ownership and Red Sox opening up the season at 86.5 (#HammerTheOver). I also talk about Tiger Woods' dick before get...

Episode #180 - John Cena again, the Patriots again and FOUR Gripes 19.03.2025

Back to interrupt your life with my useless and generally incoherent rambling! Talking about LinkedIn, Patriots free agency, the Yankees, more John Cena, movie trailer reviews and more. Then it's FOUR Gripes this week: Joe Biden, Ed Sheeran, metal chicks and dudes with metal chicks. It's the usual nonsense, but longer! Check it out.

Episode #179 - Cena, "Nakedly" & Three Gripes 05.03.2025

Another quarter ass job here and you're all lucky I give that much effort! This week we're talking about the incredible heel turn by John Cena, some incredible voicemails from our friend, Mike...you can also get involved at 617-804-1557. He's talking about junk food, t-shirts, rugby and being naked with your rugby team in Buffalo. Wild. Next is Movie Trailer Reviews - The Accountant 2,...
