Holy F, StrangeFam! Breaking news: Jeff is in Stage-2 of game show tryouts! Which game is it? Could THIS be SH!T? Another topic, which generation is better at games, though? Matt and Jeff go deep into AI, the movie ‘Companion’, and Matt’s possible love affair with a robot. The last bit of the pod dives into ‘The Rehearsal: Season 2’. Dip out to avoid spoilers. But tune in for recognition of the be...

How many minutes will we give you back in your day today? Matt and Jeff have a packed episode filled with poop-at-work stories. And we need your feedback, StrangeFam! Give us your work poo philosophies, please. Plus, how do we sleep better? Please, tell us. linktr.ee/strangefam - Other formats and links

We did it! It’s the shortest episode of the podcast ever. Was it intentional? You decide. Also, what’s your pee-in-the-shower policy? linktr.ee/strangefam - Other formats and links

They call us Strangely Familiar! It’s summer concert season! Matt and Jeff debriefed on the Warped Tour, Sublime, MGK, and others before curating their own summer festival line-ups. linktr.ee/strangefam - Other formats and links

What’s MySpace? The Nintendo Switch 2 is so hot right now. Who has one? Someone in this episode acquired the new tech through luck and got it for free! The eyes of a ranger are upon you. And your father’s, hopefully. Your friend, Chuck Norris, is with you. Who would be your dad’s Cameo gift, btw? No pressure. 'Fall Guys' hot streaks cannot be stopped!   linktr.ee/strangefam - Other formats...

Hey StrangeFam, don’t Joe Buck it. Just take a staycation. Play some wet golf. Play a board game. Watch some hummingbirds and be a r/niceguy. Get it? If not, you will. You’ll put your finger right on it. linktr.ee/strangefam - Other formats and links

Matt and Jeff had a pretty solid weekend together in NJ/Philly. That’s how you say it when you are a grown-up and don’t feel comfortable saying it was a dope-ass weekend and all your wildest dreams came true.  Two people in this podcast beat ‘Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels’ this past weekend. And then got through most of ‘Tony Hawk Pro Skater’, all while engaging in eating, drinking, pinballing...

Are we still changing the game? Just ask the birthday boy, Jeff. How about a bar that gives you free doubles when you turn 21 again (i.e., free shots for 42-year-olds). We’re on to something, and we’re 42! The world-famous Tyson Foerster hockey card auction ends this weekend! Get your bids in by 5/24! It’s guaranteed to be the only hockey card slash podcast crossover card, and has the potential to...

Here it is, StrangeFam: https://ebay.us/m/uez7tJ The world-famous Tyson Foerster card auction! It's a 1 of 1! Note: if you're reading this after 5.24.2025, the auction is done, and Matt and Jeff are probably retired from hockey card gains! But thanks for listening! It's Leo season. Papal thrillers. Being born in 2002. The longest screen share ever. This episode has it all! linktr.ee/st...

Live Metallica. WrestleMania. The Pope. Starburst jellybeans. What a weekend! How does a person end up becoming a regular on sports talk radio? Help us out, please.  linktr.ee/strangefam - Other formats and links

Stick around for a toilet paper recommendation that will change your life, StrangeFam! Matt has to decide between Metallica and WrestleMania this weekend. Still better than the debit card reckoning he's procrastinating on. Jeff is the most prepared guy in the passport line, and his eyes are always smizing. Plus, dystopian futures, Silly Pacino, and Nintendo Switch 2 hype. linktr.ee/strangefam...

Look out, StrangeFam! We’ve got new hobbies. Matt is getting into “the hobby”. Pack breaks included. Those are the words people in “the hobby” say. Are you living in the Shyamalan-iverse? Or are you more Shyamalan-averse? And, who’s winning the great James Marsden vs. Josh Hartnett war that everyone definitely has in their mind? Rochester, NY, might be dope, as long as you don’t get murdered in th...

The Zack Attack is back, Jack! I'm so excited! I'm so excited! I'm so...soo....scared...that you might not have ever heard the greatest band in Saved by the Bell history. We got you covered. We're friends forever. Plus, some A+ VHS ASMR, the makings of a hot dog and prawn omelette, and a burgeoning baseball card collection that ignites before our eyes. linktr.ee/strangefam - Other...

We live in a life of chat SNAFUs and email pet peeves. How do you stack up? And let’s talk gym-showering. It’s only bested by gym-napping. Or gym-escaping-from-your-family. Plus, did you know there’s a spot in town where you can steal everything you want…for free?! Grab some Glade plugins, StrageFam, and let’s have a huff! linktr.ee/strangefam - Other formats and links

It’s a sad day for Matt. Brad Marchand is no longer a Boston Bruin, and these tears aren’t gonna cry themselves. But, hey- at least the sun will be up an hour longer! What fast food meal would we want named after ourselves? Taco Bell is in the mix, and we recommend surge pricing. And we recall the last time we dined in at a fast food “restaurant”. And when is feetinfruitjelly dot triple X going to...

In this episode, two friends dive into a whirlwind of hilarious and unexpected topics! First, they take on the iconic Family Feud—talking about their favorite moments and what it would be like to be a contestant. Then, things get a little awkward as they share cringe-worthy dental office interactions and the social dilemmas that come with them. As if that's not enough, they give their bold pre...

Hey, hey, shirt brother! What’s up with all the Canada Goose, eh? Please discuss amongst yourselves. Hope ya’ll are surviving winter and sh!t. Matt and Jeff revisited SNL’s 50th (on the Pea-cock). There was a Jack Handy reference and everything! What’s it like to have lived for half of Paul McCartney’s life!? And how does one F up a surprise party convo? That, and more, on another episode of Upsta...

Super Bowl parade and Valentine’s Day debriefs yield our new pitch for championships and our greatest non-sexual fantasies. Plus, we share some of our random SNL memories and some of Jack Handy’s Deep Thoughts. Which kept us going as awkward humans in the 90s.  Meat food. Sunny D Seltzers. Advanced government. And more! linktr.ee/strangefam - Other formats and links

A surprise guest on Matt’s trip to Boston. Super Bowl recaps. Bar fights. Gambling. Etc. This description is so short because the episode was recorded mere hours ago. And also, no one ever reads it.  Let’s get through the dog days of winter, friends! linktr.ee/strangefam - Other formats and links

YEET to you and yours! Let’s talk about how tariff-ic life is right now! This ep feels pretty raw, like sushi…or Monday Night. We were in a mood. Can we talk about cats and coffee? Sure. But why are we feeling so negative about the world lately? And is that okay? And can we do anything about it?  Things will get better soon…they have to…just cause math… But let’s not digress on our discussion of t...
