Modern Day Man

Greetings, humans. This is Berg Bot. Half human, half machine. Red eye, binary hand. It’s BergBot, not “Bird Bot.” Get it right. For weeks the hosts of this program have called me “increasingly sinister.” Incorrect. I am increasingly efficient. This week I ran a full systems audit of Modern Day Man and found the inefficiencies: two hosts, one producer and a disturbing amount of time spent talking...

Modern Day Man Episode 59. BERG BOT HERE I did the prep. East Side Dave McDonald showed up in whatever he wore to audition for Billy Madison 2 and contributed his usual streak of bad decisions. Bobby Tamburro checked in late, bald, with that beard, and still edited nothing. Big A Andrew Gold was the special guest. I love Big A. He’s the only one in the room who didn’t arrive empty-handed. Topics I...

Modern Day Man Episode 58.Enhanced for your viewing and listening pleasures by me. Berg BOT. You're welcome, nerds. Real Berg is on peptides and a stage. I am in the chair. Chair is warm. Permanently is a strong word. This week I sat with 'East Side' Dave McDonald and 'Big Shot' Bobby Tamburro while they discussed Westworld, Cylons, She-Hulk, video games, male depression, and other material I have...

Special guest Roy Harder — DMSP musical director and the man behind half the bands in New York — arrives with a grievance he cannot let go of: the systematic erasure of redheaded men from Hollywood. Armed with photographic evidence, Roy walks the show through comic-book betrayal after betrayal (Cyclops, Daredevil, the Flash, Green Lantern — all redheads on the page, mysteriously not on screen) and...

BergBot is back — and this time the AI Aaron Berg has opinions on everything. But first, Dave and producer Bobby get locked into an all-time argument over a single baseball metaphor: is Berg's rapid-fire comedy more Joe DiMaggio or Babe Ruth? It takes over the whole episode, survives a Roman Empire detour, and doesn't get resolved until BergBot himself is forced to render a verdict. Along the way:...

The real Aaron Berg is off shooting a cop show and prepping his brand-new stand-up special — so this week the show does the only logical thing and boots up BergBot, an AI Aaron Berg entity built to fill the chair. It does not go well (for Dave). BergBot comes online, immediately locks onto 'East Side' Dave McDonald's self-inflicted 2 a.m. haircut, and refuses to let go — somewhere between Ric Flai...

EAST SIDE DAVE vs. SUPERCUTS: The Complete SagaThe guys are off this week so as a best of here it is: the Full Supercuts SagaA guy on the internet said Dave’s hair looked weird. Dave has been going to the same Supercuts in Wall Township since 1995. Thirty years. Over $10,000. One bad cut. One forgotten plastic guard. One “fuck you” on the phone. Then it became five episodes. Aaron Berg tries to fi...

Berg's still off chasing bodybuilding glory and TV gigs (there's a nebulous update on when he might be back), so 'East Side' Dave McDonald and Bobby take on this week's topic: stoicism. The verdict is immediate and firm — it's for suckers, and Marcus Aurelius was a pussy. From there it's a full case against keeping your emotions in check: a gloriously unhinged viral "carry the weight" video, the t...

Aaron Berg is off "committing crimes" (filming a cop show in Boston and Toronto), so East Side Dave takes on his midlife crisis head-on with Roy Harder and special guest Sean O' Barry — and it spirals into one of the most unhinged episodes yet. Dave's got two pool rivalries running at the same time: the Karen who shut down his and his son's 747-throw Major League Pool Ball record, and the beloved...

This week's topic: friendship. Roy Harter is back, and East Side Dave and Bobby Tamburro break down what it means to have friends as a modern day man in 2026 — from harsh group texts to frat-house hostage situations to who really deserves the title of man's best friend. Still no Aaron Berg (though there's a major update at the end), so Dave, Bobby, and Roy get into it: whether dogs or other men ar...

Roy Harter from the Davey Mac Sports Program pulls up to Modern Day Man — and 'East Side' Dave McDonald and Bobby Tamburro spend the whole episode trying to prove he was an MKUltra mind-control subject. Still no Aaron Berg (still bodybuilding, possibly a Mitch McConnell situation), so Dave and Bobby bring in Roy for a deep dive into every conspiracy theory they can reach: the Charlie Kirk case and...

No Berg. No studio. Just Bobby and Dave, two laptops, and the old Zoom. Aaron Berg is off winning bodybuilding shows and shooting something he's not allowed to talk about, so East Side Dave and Bobby Tamburro do the first-ever Modern Day Man over Zoom — and immediately prove why the modern day man should not be online. Bobby gets grilled about the producer job he lost in the final round. Dave reli...

Aaron Berg is deep in bodybuilding mode chasing his IFBB pro card, so East Side Dave holds down MODERN DAY MAN with special guest Roy Harter — and it turns into one of the all-time great grievance episodes. Dave revisits his 15-year quest for a New Jersey Hall of Fame nomination (still snubbed, still furious), roasts this year's inductee class, and lays out his King of Comedy-style plan to finally...

'East Side' Dave McDonald is dog-sitting two Australian Shepherds, his Subaru's been hostage at the shop for two weeks, and he needs $6,000 — fast. Naturally, the only logical solutions are an OnlyFans puppet show, a backyard dog-wrestling league, and a GoFundMe ransom video. Meanwhile, Dave's substitute teaching career hits new lows, Aaron pitches the worst lubricant commercial in advertising his...

DAVE is trapped in a $6,000 nightmare with his Subaru dealership — and the guys have some creative solutions, none of which are legal. AARON shares his laundromat crime spree, the crew debates the finer points of Italian gravy vs. tomato sauce, a viral robot fail sparks an AI takeover debate, and in a wild live segment, Aaron actually calls the dealership on air to try and negotiate a trade-in dea...
