Episodes

Episode #152 - Interview with Musician/Actor, Gene Dante & Three Gripes 08.03.2023

This week is a good one and it's all because of my guest, Gene Dante! Gene joins me to talk about his band, Gene Dante & the Future Starlets, how the city of Boston has become overly gentrified, visual creatives vs. auditory creatives, how DL/UX is an great album, the grind of being an actor and how "Fenway Park is a dump with rhinestones glued on it"!  I also talk about everyone's favori...

Episode #151 - Rock shows, the NHL, hero worship vs. religion & Three Gripes 01.03.2023

Back to not having someone far more interesting than me on the show and for that I must beg forgiveness. This week I'm talking about The Winery Dogs, NHL teams in a full panic because the Bruins are a wagon, MLB doing something smart for once, how much I dislike people with gobs of cash and the similarities between blind hero worship & religion.  Then it's onto Three Gripes: people who re...

Episode #150 - Writer & Author Robert Dean, Labor, the Super Bowl & Three Gripes 22.02.2023

There are few people, myself included, who ever thought that I'd record 150 episodes of this garbage. It's truly remarkable. And awful...it's all truly awful.  This week though I'm thrilled to be back in the Broadcast Palace to spin yarns and talk out of my ass. I talk a bit about the Super Bowl and how Rhianna's halftime was outstanding for 2 very different reasons. I also talk about labor,...

Episode #149 - That Chinese Balloon, Music, Political Theater & Three Gripes 10.02.2023

I'm back....back in the Boston groove. Wow, that's a shitty "joke". Any hoo, this week I'm talking about a bunch of crap that other, more intelligent people have covered including the Chinese spy balloon & TikTok, how the right can't get their theatrics in order and how Uncle Joe just won't stand for it. Then I get into the shows I've seen of late, how Joey Belladonna looks like Frank Langella...

Episode #148 - Gonorrhea, Kim Kardashian, Nick Adams & Three Gripes 01.02.2023

I'm back on that same old nonsense as this week I'm talking about things that are out of date yet relevant to me because I didn't talk about them last week. Makes sense, right? Anywell...I get into sports gambling in Massachusetts, Dial soap, gonorrhea, National Grid sucks, Kim Kardashian, cheap vodka and what's the weirdest things you've seen someone do in a car while driving. Then it's onto Thre...

Episode 147 - Interview with the Washburn Brothers of The Quiet Violent! 25.01.2023

Lucky for all of you this isn't one of those episodes where I pontificate on things that I know little about! Instead I'm lucky enough to have Donny Washburn and Bobby Washburn of The Quiet Violent to pontificate about things that they actually know about. A real change of pace, eh? We're talking about the Boston music scene & the lack thereof and how it's getting even worse. We also talk abou...

Episode 146 - Mexico, Cohasset, Cheating & Three Gripes 18.01.2023

Well would ya look at that? It's another awful edition of the #worldsworstpodcast. I'm mostly sorry about that. At any rate, this week I'm talking about our time away in Cancun and why it'll likely be the last time in Cancun and the awful food, watered down drinks and annoying kids therein. I touch on that piece of shit in Cohasset that killed his wife and how cheating on a spouse has to be absolu...

Episode 145 - The NFL, Southwest, Teleportation & Three Gripes 04.01.2023

Back with so much more of the things that you know you want to talk about, but are simply too smart to do so. I talk a little bit about Damar Hamlin before getting into the NFL. Then I'm on to the usual cheeky nonsense that this stupid show is known for including football game cameramen being horny as hell, Southwest being a garbage outfit, teleportation as the most useful superpower, water vs. el...

Episode 144 - Rap Beefs, #dumbteams, Jury Duty & Three Gripes 28.12.2022

Yeah, I keep doing these, aren't you surprised?! I know I am, but whatever. This week, I'm back with a whole host of garbage that you're sure to ignore! I'm talking about the old east coast vs west coast rap beef for no actual reason and screwing up the sides, Christmas babies, the end of #dumbteams brought to you by the New England Patriots, boner commercials on the radio and the experience of ju...

Episode 143 - Dead People, Sports, Dog Shit & Three Gripes 17.12.2022

Back with a weekend drop because I can't figure out a schedule to save my damn life! This week I'm yammering on about office work, the Red Sox, #dumbteams, college football, dead famous people, being drunk, Crocs, cocaine and dog shit. This week's Three Gripes: Hippos, neighbors and Massachusetts public transit.  It's terrible as always, but hey, you're here reading this and thinking about pu...

Episode 142 - NZ, the midterms, BG, Twitter, NJ, boners & Three Gripes 09.12.2022

Hey! Remember me?! Oh...no? Shit. Well, ya know what? That's fine, I get it. Nah, nah...it's ok really, no, I understand. There's nothing really here and you never really paid that much attention anyways so, it's cool.  Back after a very long time away with a painfully long episode talking about my time in New Zealand, the Midterms, Dan Snyder, Brittney Griner, the Fencesitters, New Jersey, G...

Not An Episode #11 23.11.2022

Live from bucolic Christchurch, NZ, it's another waste of your time!! Keeping it brief with hotel housekeeping, cricketers & cologne and the Jets being this week's lone #dumbteams. Then I've got Three Gripes, but it's just one gripe: irrational anger. Check it out! #tellyourfriends --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/complaintsandobservations/message Hosted on Acas...

Not An Episode #10. 10.11.2022

This does suck but I'm filling the air with noise. Just wild really. Yup. I'm also ready to fall asleep so that makes it even worse.

Episode 141 - More Crap You Don't Care About! Twitter, Oil, Football, Loan Forgiveness & Three Gripes 04.11.2022

Much to the chagrin of just about anyone with a functioning brain, here's another episode of this crap. I'm talking about a number of different things that I really know little about, but because I'm obsessed with microphones, I'm going on about Elon Musk and the impending death of Twitter, big oil making more money than they really should be, the Week 7 #dumbteams and a great but frustrating voic...

Episode 140 - Kanye...again, the Auto Industry, Week 7 #dumbteams & Three Gripes 26.10.2022

Oh wow, another one? Yeah, I've only done this 140+ times, but talking into a microphone is a bit of an aphrodisiac so it is what it is! This week I'm talking about that troglodyte, Kanye again and a cockamamie theory about how the American auto industry has killed any possibility of viable public transit in this country. Then it's onto Week 7's #dumbteams: the Packers, the refs and your New Engla...

Episode 138 - Tom Brady/Skeletor, Blink 182 Tickets & Three Gripes 21.10.2022

Much to the chagrin of just about everyone, I was able to record this week's episode during my lunch break. I said I'd keep it short and I lied. This week, I'm talking about Tom Brady looking far too much like Skeletor, Mr. & Mrs. RKK, this week's #dumbteams: Arizona, Chiefs & 49ers, and a great voicemail from friend of the show, Donny who talks about his frustration over Blink 182 tickets...

Episode 137 - Worshipping Stupid People, the T Still Sucks, Voicemails & Three Gripes 14.10.2022

It's a day late and hundreds upon hundreds of doll hairs short. Working again is tough on this horrible podcast, but I'm here this week talking about Tom & Gisele, Kanye, Alex Jones, Dan Snyder & religion all amalgamated into a take on how America continues to worship stupid people. Honestly, I think it's a fairly decent take and mostly coherent so that's a plus.  Week 5's #dumbteams:...

Episode 136 - Football, Cheating Scandals, Florida & Three Gripes 05.10.2022

Right off the bat I need to apologize for this being absurdly long. I was overcaffeinated and therefore rambled at a rate that makes this show even worse than it usually is. Some of the crap I'm talking about includes Philadelphia statues, #dumbteams, the AL MVP, cheating scandals in chess, poker and fishing, Elon Musk is Diet Lex Luthor, Florida is afraid of everything, the new JLo movie, an exce...

Episode 135 - Archaeology, cannibalism, the New England Patriots & Three Gripes 28.09.2022

Hi there. Say, why exactly are you here? If I'm being honest, I'm a tad concerned as this is really a terrible product so I question your decision making. Having said that, I have to admire and appreciate your presence. It means a lot that you're willing to waste some of your very previous time listening to my monotone rambling. Thanks. Well, it's another pile of crap this week as I'm talking abou...

Episode 134 - I'm A Moron, Martha's Vineyard, #dumbteams, Puerto Rico v. the Monarchy & Three Gripes 21.09.2022

I begin this week by reminding everyone that this is indeed the #worldsworstpodcast. That's a fact and you only need to listen to this week's open to understand why! I'm talking about a conversation that was supposed to be featured this week with friend of the show, Evan Glasser, but again, I'm a moron. I also get into Martha's Vineyard, immigration, Big Zee, #dumbteams in the NFL, American media...

Episode 133 - Anal Beads, NFL Takes, The Queen & Royal Nonsense, Knitting & FOUR Gripes 14.09.2022

There's a lot going on here and very little is any good. This week I'm talking about playing chess while wearing anal beads, the Patriots after Week 1, a terribly long segment about the Queen after I allegedly jinxed her last week along with a whole host of UK monarchal nonsense, a voicemail about a guy who knits sweaters on Instagram before mercifully ending with the show with Three...no, FOUR......

Episode 132 - Queen Elizabeth, Men's Fashion, Elections & Three Gripes 07.09.2022

It's another show that'll make you wish you never heard of podcasts before! This week I'm talking about more random garbage like Queen Elizabeth II, men's fashion, pedicures, Massachusetts elections and negotiating over home run balls. I've got two awesome voicemails! Scumbagish, pick up truck stickers and girl scout cookie packaging. Then it's on to Three Gripes: Camouflage clothing, birds and th...

Episode 131 - Tom Brady, Teachers, Layoffs & Three Gripes 31.08.2022

Living up to the #worldsworstpodcast moniker as I, for the second week in a row, attempt to bore you to tears! I'm fairly certain it's a smashing success. I'm talking about Tom Brady looking like an old Hollywood actress, Bill Belichick being a control freak, teachers, layoffs and LinkedIn's reaction to them. Then I've got a couple of great voicemails! The first is about an alleged car accident ar...

Episode 130 - Student Loans, Dr. Oz, Public Bathrooms & Three Gripes 25.08.2022

Coming at you with another hour of unfiltered and boring garbage! This week I'm talking about pumpkin spice, student loan relief, Olean, Dr. Mehmet Oz, vile public bathrooms and Chris Fowler's Instagram. Then we're mercifully at the end of the show with this week's Three Gripes: Little Miss memes, people who are always wearing AirPods & Instagram moms.  It's all lousy, but would you expec...

Episode 129 - Work, Chip Rankings, WNBA T-Shirts & Three Gripes 18.08.2022

Back with another episode filled with so much nothingness that Dennis Eckersley would call it a hodgepodge. This week I'm again talking about jobs, work, interviews, companies and the like before moving on to a bit of soccer talk, Sox talk & the Watson suspension. Then I finally unveil my chip rankings that'll surely be a hot topic in the podcast world...not really. I've got a wonderfully pett...
