Niagara's Watercooler Podcast

Episode 3 of Buzz Words features our first interview with an author. Edward Ashton, author of Mickey 7 (which was the inspiration for the Movie Mickey 17, starring Robert Pattinson), Antimatter Blues, The Fourth Consort, and After the Falls, joins us to talk about his latest book, After the Fall. We are grateful to Edward for taking time out of his day to speak with us. We also plan our next readi...

Our second episode is all about the classics. What makes a classic, and where do they rank? There is a lot of dissention with the placement of some of the books. None of us agree on all of them. There were even books we didn't know, which is rare. What were some of the omissions from the lists? Listen and find out where your favorite classic ranks. Cast: Scott, Howie, Craig Running Time: 80 Minute...

We're back with an all-new podcast. We present to you...Buzz Words...a podcast that talks about books and reading while we sip on some of our favorite libations. It's our first episode and we are all over the place as we try to find our voices for this new endeavor. We talk about how and what we read in today's modern world. The three of us all have quite different approaches to reading. We have s...

The Rise And Fall Of Miss Vivi LaVienne. The Neener Neener card. Physical therapy for ED sounds fun. Are you Team Alan or Team "Instigate Kyle"?

Bills talk. Fat Bear Week is not what you might think, Kyle. The Scooby-Doo Mysteries still hold a surprise for Skip. Number 2 pencils are gross.

Shenanigans is back for the month of July, and now, there are enough episodes to listen to us every day of the year. Even Leap Years! We have a new guy sitting in for his first show, and he brought the one-liners and quips. It was the anniversary of the moon landing on the day we recorded, so of course we had to talk about conspiracies surrounding it. We talk a little bit about Old Fort Niagara an...

In Shenanigans for June, we have some new guests, with Rich and Craig being joined by Dave and CC. It was just Father's Day, so Dave, Rich, and Craig talk a bit about that. It's been 31 years since the slow chase of OJ in LA. In honor of that, we talk about how much we can blame OJ for, including the slow roll bicycle rides around towns. We bet they don't even know it. AI will someday be "reality"...

Guess who's back? Back again? It's Shenanigans, the show that never ends. After a 6-month hiatus, we are back to recording, but things will be a bit different. Once a month rather than every week, at least to start. Less crass, more friendly to the average listener. We had a couple of new guys join in, and they were a bit nervous. Give them some time, and they will be in full swing. This week, we...

Well, it's finally here. It's the final episode of the Shenanigans podcast as we know it. Not going to lie -- it was a struggle to sit and edit this one because of it being the last one. Oh, I can almost guarantee there will be some reunion shows, and maybe a few Best Of episodes in our future, but for the most part, this is it. There's a long goodbye at the beginning, but then we get into a show...

In this week's Shenanigans podcast, we go back a week or so after I lost the original show and had to start the editing process all over again. We talk a little about football and what's wrong with hockey and Kevyn Adams. Dave is our guest this week and he tells us about a great golf project he's working on. China now has OnlyFans and it has made a big splash in that country. We talk a bit about G...

This week's Shenanigans podcast is a throwback again. This time of year we tend to be hit or miss with new content as there is so much going on. We do take the last two weeks of the year off to celebrate the holidays, so there might only be two new episodes before we start our 2025 season. If you're interested in sitting in for a show, contact Craig. We throwback to police pretending to shoot, roc...

In this week's Shenanigans podcast, we have a couple of newbies who have infiltrated the studio. And it was amazing. It's Christmas shopping season and the shoppers are already crazy. We're trying to find dates for Allyn, but he's sending mixed messages. Do you remember scratch n sniff and puffy stickers that you'd put on your Trapper Keeper? And then the show gets crazy. We talk about marriage, d...

This week's Shenanigans podcast is a "best of" after we got to the studio and ended up sitting at the table with some whiskey and laughs with friends. In this episode we throwback to Swedish language lessons, new cults of fragrancy, penguins, the word moist, and dying on the Oregon Trail. Our first Canada Watch makes a very subtle debut. We throw Vinnie under the bus, and who loves car? I mean rea...

In this week's Shenanigans podcast, we are back to a trio. We are looking for anyone who wants to join us. Contact Craig if you're interested. Who remembers Thanksgiving stamps? Why don't they have them anymore? We talk a lot about pizza. Mmmm...pizza... Craig had a weird dream that he tells the guys. Anyone else have one of those dreams? We get back to superpowers once again. Allyn has an interes...

In this week's Shenanigans podcast, there's a little bit of NFL talk, mostly at the expense of the Dallas Cowboys. We just had Halloween, which leads to one of the greatest stories in Shenanigans, next to Rich's Yoo Hoo story. Somehow we end up talking about terrible firemen mustaches and whale poop. Will monkeys ever type Shakespeare? All this and more this week on Shenanigans. As always, this po...

In this week's Shenanigans podcast, it's a trio again. We start with sad news about Phil Lesh and Teri Garr. Craig dragged Allyn out to the bar on a Monday night, which Allyn tried to say was something he never did (please refer to last week's episode). We look into some medical things that mosquitoes cause. Nigerian princes are going bankrupt because you've been ignoring those emails. Gen Z can't...

In this week's Shenanigans podcast, we're down to a duo, although Allyn does pop in for a few moments of slurred thoughts. It's the triumphant return of Walden! He and a Craig went to a hockey game in Geneseo, probably to the chagrin of the other parents there. Talking about slacker movies brings up that Kevin Smith finally got the rights for "Dogma" from that really bad guy. And Walden learns tha...

In this week's Shenanigans podcast, we're still functioning as a trio. One of us (who wasn't actually here this week) wants us to be more topical. So,,,we start off topical. Make sure you keep your breast health near the top of your list -- men and women. It's all about salt lamps and new basement smells as we start off the show. Allyn goes deep into conspiracy theories and the northern lights mak...

In this week's Shenanigans podcast, we talk about the perks of being Gen-Xers and some of the issues we had as the same. Like being a human TV remote and learning how to use commercial breaks wisely. Kids these days have no idea. Hurricanes have been big in the news lately. Allyn learned something very important about those pesky little chestnuts we find on the ground this time of year. Vinnie goe...

In this week's Shenanigans podcast, we have a return guest! Lucy makes a surprise appearance. In typical Lucy fashion, we end up talking more seriously about things than we normally would. That doesn't mean there isn't funny. There's always funny. We talk about the Simpsons being renewed yet again and the comedic genius of Tim Conway. Nostalgia TV is at an all-time high, but does that mean it's an...

In this week's Shenanigans podcast, the foursome is without Rich and Walden, but we do have Vinnie. There's a ton of talk about the P Diddy debacle and how far we think those threads sink into the Hollywood elite. Craig went to Farm Aid this past weekend and we talked a bit about some of the events connected to that. Allyn has a new slew of home remedies that we really can't recommend to anyone. T...

In this week's Shenanigans podcast, we are down to a trio due to extenuating circumstances, and we fly through a very quick show. It's almost anti-climatic. There is a lot of NFL talk and where we think it stands after two weeks. Tom Brady still sucks, and Tua should probably retire. How much is too much money for a quarterback who hasn't won anything yet? The league is setting new standards for m...

In this week's Shenanigans podcast, we're off and running after Rich brings some whiskey goodness direct from his trip to Tennessee. With summer turning to fall, we need to have one more outdoor smash burger night before it gets too cold. It's time for the NFL, so we talk a little about it, although less than we have in the past. Except for making fun of Tom Brady. Who doesn't love making fun of T...

In this week's Shenanigans podcast, we took the week off because of Labor Day. So we dive WAAAAAAY back in time to nine years ago when we first started the podcast. Trump hadn't been President yet, Hillary still had hopes and dreams, and George was befuddled by Math and English. This is either episode two or three of the original Shenanigans podcast. Howie makes a surprise appearance and things go...
