Episodes

Episode 106 - A Truncated Edition: Indiana Snow Removal, Mark Cuban Drugs & Three Gripes 27.01.2022

It's short, sweet and filled with what's a terrible attempt at sounding like David Allen Boucher. Talking about snow removal in Indiana, dryish January, Mark Cuban saving the world and some other stuff that I for some reason didn't keep track of. Typical. Then it's on to Three Gripes: Xfinity, cars being nicknamed 'Betsy' and caring way too much about everyone else. It's all a bunch of garbage as...

Episode 105 - Sports are dumb, Five Star Reviews, the Portland Pickles and Three Gripes 20.01.2022

As much as I thought episode 104 didn't totally suck, this one really makes up for it and is god awful! Talking about a lousy sports weekend, people who love to say how much they hate sports, companies that beg for five star reviews and the Portland Pickles mascock (trademark pending).  Then it's on to Three Gripes: fast food companies caring about "family", companies not letting you do anyth...

Episode 104 - Drinking Pee, Ron DeSantis, Carrot Top & Three Gripes 13.01.2022

Another terrible episode for you to listen to in the background while you're trying to clean the bathroom. Talking about urine therapy, the tragic story of Harmony Montgomery, Ron DeSantis being an unoriginal hack, Novak Djokovic being annoying, Joe Rogan & Carrot Top and when does "the grind" become untenable.  Then it's onto Three Gripes: Chicken salad, women drivers & Wordle. It's...

Episode 103 - Betty White, the Fart Girl, Voicemails & Three Gripes 06.01.2022

Another steamy helping of garbage for you to check out! Talking about Betty White, the girl who sells her own jarred farts, Chick Fil A, true crime parody podcasts, Antonio Brown and investing in whisky. I've got multiple voicemails and they're all outstanding: College sports, alcohol and halftime meetups.  Then it's onto Three Gripes which means the show's almost over (YAAAAAAY!!!!): Aaron R...

Episode 102 - John Madden, Movie Trailer Reviews, Voicemails & Three Gripes 30.12.2021

It's another episode of whatever this is! Kicking this right off with Dear Abby wife swappers and then getting into the legacy of John Madden and emailing the parking department at Gillette Stadium. Another edition of Movie Trailer Reviews with AP Dave followed by voicemails about the past & future and masks.  Wrap it up nicely with Three Gripes: farewell videos of dying pets, have to sh*...

Episode 101 - Ruining Twitter, the Patriots, Gov't Conspiracies, Airplane Jerks & Three Gripes 23.12.2021

When you have zero audience participation, you get an overly caffeinated host with a overly active brain. Talking about the Patriots/Colts game, how anti/pro vax & the Covid deniers/(...what's the opposite of 'deniers'? 'Acknowledger'? Yeah, that'll do...)acknowledgers are actively ruining Twitter, government conspiracies and those people who cause a scene on airplanes and somehow are still al...

Episode 100!!!! It's Just As Bad As The Previous 99! 16.12.2021

The #RoadTo100 has come to a climactic end! Talking about irons in a hotel, Lyft drivers and their music, Football Road Trip 2021, adults talking about kids playing football and a bunch of other shit! Movie Trailer Reviews and a bevy of voicemails too! Then it's on to Three Gripes: blimps, the taunting rule and death. An honest to goodness thank you to anyone that's ever listened to this crap and...

Episode 99 - Voicemail Bonanza feat. Swingers, Swifties & Birthdays! And Three Gripes. 18.11.2021

This is exactly the kind of episode that I envisioned when I started this bullshit. Some likeminded individuals calling in with their own complaints and observations and I offer up some spirited repartee. Talking about Paul Revere, swingers resorts, Taylor Swift, talking at sporting events, birthday parties and death. It was so much fun! Then it's on to Three Gripes: the new Mercedes commercial, d...

Episode 98 - Parents with 22 Kids, Gambling Companies, "More" & Three Gripes 11.11.2021

It's a helluva show, friends. No, seriously, it's one hell of a show. Talking about all sorts of garbage that you never thought would be discussed in any medium. A couple with 22 kids, gambling companies getting incredibly annoying, Travis Scott ,the problem with always striving for more of anything and a voicemail complaint. A new slice of the show: the Featured Charity; this week it's SupportThe...

Episode 97 - Jerry Remy & Local Celebrity, Cold Blooded Revenge, A-A-Ron, the NHL's Dumb & Three Gripes 04.11.2021

Another day, another episode so frivolous and ridiculous that I question what I'm actually doing! Talking about Pete Davidson's dick, the Honda Fit Kliq, the passing of Jerry Remy & local celebrities, cold blooded school board revenge, digital activism, Aaron Rodgers and his homeopathic bullshit & the NHL prioritizing monetary violations over sexual assault. We've got 2 outstanding voicema...

Episode 96 - Hookers in Paris, Footballs, Fear in Society & Three Gripes 29.10.2021

It's yet another mish-mash, hodgepodge, melange or conglomeration of nonsense! This week I'm talking about "our top priority", prostituting in Paris, Tom Brady's 600th TD ball, Gillette Stadium storytellers, the role of fear in modern society, NOT picking on pregnant women again and funeral directors.  Then it's on to Three Gripes: motorcycle assholes, resigning to spend more time with your f...

Episode 95 - Adele, Walgreens, Talking to Friends & Three Gripes 21.10.2021

Another great episode filled with random complaints and wouldn't ya know it, random observations!  Starting off with a note about the Red Sox & the Patriots' recent goings on and then I'm talking about Adele, her new single and her whole...thing. I get into masturbating in a nail salon, corporate America being shitty & greedy, when you were a kid you had a ton of new shit to talk abou...

Episode 94 - Jon Gruden, Farts, My Wife & Three Gripes 14.10.2021

Another award-winning* episode of the program filled with the kind of nonsense you'd expect from the show. Kyrie & the vaccine, Jon Gruden, the NFL's power, sports fandom, farts and a voicemail from my darling wife. Then it's Three Gripes: conversations between pregnant women, parents and spaghetti mac & cheese.  All that and little else so check it out! #TellYouFriends #TellYourMoms...

Episode 93 - Christianity, Podcasts, Red Sox, Movie Trailer Reviews, Voicemails & Three Gripes 07.10.2021

For an episode that I thought would vapid and terrible, it's only slightly awful! I had a guest bail out so I talked way too much about too many dumb things. Christian conservatives, the Bible, podcasts, groupthink, the Patriots, the Red Sox and Facebook. Yeah, too much.  Then it's Three Gripes: eating popcorn in the rain, people who don't know how to shut up during comedy shows & my lack...

Not An Episode #7: The Know Nothing Postgame Show 04.10.2021

Fresh off the Bucs/Patriots showdown, I arrive home at 2am and immediately jump into the lab to record a lousy postgame recap!  Check it out! #TellYourFriends #TellYourMoms --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/complaintsandobservations/message Hosted on Acast.

Episode 92 - The Taliban, Tom Brady, Kyrie, YouTube & Three Gripes 30.09.2021

The #RoadTo100 continues with another banger of an episode! This week I'm talking about the Red Sox/Yankees, Tom Brady's return to Foxboro, Kyrie again being Kyrie, the Taliban, dumb art scams, dumb YouTube scams, dumb phone scams and useless advise. Then it's on to what I believe is the best Three Gripes ever: Neighbors, shit nests and Long Drink.  Well worth the price of admission so check...

Episode 91 - Oops! It's ALL GRIPES! & Three Gripes 23.09.2021

It's an entirely all gripes episode! Yeah, that's right, it's just a whiny, fat white guy complaining about entire dumb and innocuous shit. In other words, exactly what probably should be expected.  Jags Twitter, September by Earth Wind & Fire, eating Cheetos with a plastic glove, WASPs ordering drinks no one's ever heard of, false advertising/abortions, Boo Berry, The Romantics, killing...

Episode 90 - Swollen Balls, Donny Washburn of 'The Quiet Violent' & Three/Four Gripes 17.09.2021

A dynamite episode for all 2 of my listeners as I'm joined on the show by my dear friend, Donny Washburn of the pseudo house band of Complaints & Observations, The Quiet Violent! We talk about how he got into music, the band itself, the Boston music scene and band names. It was an excellent conversation. Before that I do touch on swollen balls. Afterward it's Three Gripes with one additional g...

Episode 89 - 2021 NFL Season Preview with Scott Banksley & Three Gripes 09.09.2021

Great episode this week. No, seriously, it's great. Listen for yourself if you don't believe me, gosh. Talking a bit about Texas, but really just a bit because it makes me want to swallow bleach.  Then I welcome the one and only, Scott Banksley back to the program to talk about the coming NFL season. We get into the Patriots schedule, playoff participants, season win over/unders and Super Bow...

Episode 88 - Ivermectin, the Orkin Man, the Mets & Three Gripes 02.09.2021

Back after a week away and just as shitty as ever! The inaugural pod from the world famous Broadcast Palace and this week I'm talking milk crates, kids & the pandemic, Ivermectin, the Orkin Man and how the #Mets are the most entertaining team in baseball. I drop the new Question of the Week: What's the worst opening act that you've sat through to get to see a headliner? I'm sure this'll be a v...

Episode 87 - Pope Frank, Your Life's Biggest Regret & Three Gripes 19.08.2021

Talking about Pope Frank being ok, a trip to Treehouse Brewing, how the Red Sox suck, how West Ham is great and how Arsenal sucks.  Then I dive into the QOTW, what's your biggest regret in life? I got a handful of excellent replies and I follow it with some really deep & profound analysis.&nbs...

Not An Episode #6 - 21/22 Premier League Preview Program 13.08.2021

And just like that, it's time once again for more Premier League football! I'm thrilled to be joined by two guys who know WAY more about the sport than I do, former Watford trialist, Ian Hannwacker and former Frederick Indoor Sports Center legend, John Vert. As the preeminent toeballer on the internet, I deft fully start the conversation with Messi, his departure from Barca and his arrival at PSG...

Episode 86 - Ask Me Anything!, Voicemails & Three Gripes 12.08.2021

It's another edition of your *favorite show!! This week, I'm talking about last week's QOTW, "Ask me anything!"

I get to some voicemails before moving on to Three Gripes: Competing radio stations playing the same song at the same time, the growing influx of alcoholic everything/a...

Episode 85 - Cheese! Talking with Jimmy G of @ssbarpizza & Three Gripes 05.08.2021

Episode 84 - Your First Drink, the Olympics & Three Gripes 29.07.2021

Listen, I've never lied here. Never*. This week's episode is only 85% as good as last week's.

Then I discuss the Olympics, the Mass. gambling bill, the passing of Dusty Hill, Metallica and the Wu-Tang Clan. Then it's on to this week's Three Gripes: Br...
