The Big Party Show

Big Party starts the show with a very important celebrity lawn care question: do Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift mow their own grass? Naturally, that somehow turns into doorbell ringtones, dogs barking, and Christmas music in July because nothing says “professional podcast” like a festive Ring notification mid-conversation. Then the great Midwest debate continues: **muscle tee or tank top?** Big Par...

Big Party and Molly are back, and this one starts exactly where you’d expect: with Big Party threatening to eat enough sausage to create “blood problems.” From there, we get into his latest food era — dinosaur carrots, hot honey, homemade raspberry peach barbecue sauce, air fryer “salads,” and the kind of croutons that sound like they were invented by a county fair with no adult supervision. Then...

Big Party and Molly are back with another round of **No Dumb Questions**, and somehow we go from crying over **Project Hail Mary** to debating whether Jason Momoa is the kind of guy you’d want to fish with, drink with, or silently admire from a respectful distance. This episode covers it all: **The Housemaid**, airplane movie edits, Avatar avoidance, celebrity hangout rankings, and the very real M...

Big Party and Molly are back after the Fourth of July and everybody’s a little blurry, a little tired, and possibly one unwashed strawberry away from disaster. This episode kicks off with the hard truth of adulthood: sometimes your phone font has to get bigger and your pride has to get smaller. Molly officially enters large-font life, while Big Party is still pretending factory settings are a pers...

Big Party and Molly are heading into the Fourth of July with fireworks already exploding, dogs refusing to pee, and anxiety levels somewhere between “mild concern” and “a mortar just tipped over and is coming straight at me.” This episode covers the very Midwest reality of fireworks season: nervous pets, neighbors lighting up the whole block, illegal-but-definitely-still-happening fireworks in Chi...

Big Party and Molly are back, and this episode starts with a very important Midwest luxury purchase: a countertop pellet ice machine. Not regular ice. Not sad freezer ice. The good ice. The kind of ice that makes you feel like you’ve got your life together even if your fridge ice maker has been broken since the Nixon administration. From there, things somehow turn into a full business plan for tin...

Chick-fil-A finally got knocked off the top spot, and honestly? Nobody saw Jersey Mike’s coming in with the chair. Big Party and Molly break down the new quick service restaurant rankings, from Little Caesars somehow winning over Chicago kids, to Culver’s being a weekly household staple, to Taco Bell not making the list at all—which feels illegal in at least seven Midwestern counties. Then things...

Big Party and Molly are back with another beautifully unhinged episode full of wish stones, moon water, weird collections, and the kind of marriage debates that could only happen in the Midwest. Molly explains what a wish stone is, why the Strawberry Moon is perfect for moon water, and why her house may or may not be turning into a witch’s den full of rocks, jars, beach glass, and “beach garbage.”...

Big things are happening on **The Big Party Show** — we officially rolled past **200 episodes**, the Party Crashers crew is over **1,000 strong**, and somehow Big Party managed to turn a simple smoke detector battery change into a full fire department situation. Classic. This episode kicks off with Big Party accidentally setting off his connected fire alarm, ignoring the security company calls lik...

Big Party starts this one with a tiny apology for Monday’s full-blown humanity meltdown… but don’t worry, we immediately get back to the important stuff: weird garbage, ranch dressing, and people who apparently skipped every map in elementary school. Molly gets sent a truly insane beach find from New Zealand that looks like a piece of wood lost a fight with a sea monster, Big Party learns disposab...

It’s the After Party, baby, and this one starts with Big Party explaining the absolute worst relationship advice he ever got: “just tell her she’s acting like…” Yeah. You can guess how that went. Molly immediately turns it into a public service announcement for anyone who enjoys being alive. Then we roll into No Dumb Questions with a listener asking if we believe in ghosts. Big Party believes in g...

Big Party is back from Orlando, and somehow the biggest memories include Chewbacca being rude, Southwest Airlines turning into a courtroom drama, and TSA acting like a sweater is a national threat. This episode kicks off with the latest Fun-Plex giveaway details — including your shot at a four-pack of Friday Night Rides tickets and a cabana for six later this summer. Then Big Party recaps his Orla...

Big Party is coming to us live-ish from Orlando, Florida, where the hotel is massive, the conventions are everywhere, and apparently every local wants to talk about one thing: the heat and humidity. Which is funny, because to a Midwest person, Florida in June is basically “nice breeze, little sticky, we’ll survive.” This episode has it all: a Christina Aguilera convention concert with 25,000 peopl...

Big Party may have found the best burger in Omaha, and yes, he’s making it everyone’s problem in the best way possible. This episode starts with Fun-Plex lazy river cabana dreams, a possibly sleeping grandma floating by, and the kind of burger review that makes you want to grab cash and head straight to Millard. Big Party and Molly get into **Quack Burger at The Duck Inn**, old-school Omaha bar fo...

Happy Flag Day, apparently. Big Party kicks off the After Party with a very official piece of mail from his sister in California, because nothing says “family bonding” like a random card for an obscure holiday and a subtle encouragement to drink. That leads Molly into her new mission: sending handwritten notes to Party Crashers. Yep, real mail. Not a bill, not a coupon for gutters, not a dentist r...

Summer is officially acting up on **The Big Party Show**. Big Party and Molly kick things off with a chance to win **Funplex Friday Night Rides tickets**, plus a shot at a cabana for six this summer. The keyword this week is **FUN**, because apparently we’re keeping things academically challenging. Then things spiral exactly how they should: Big Party reveals he once considered putting a **lazy ri...

On this episode of **The Big Party Show**, Big Party and Molly somehow start with **Aldi’s Mexican pizza situation** and end up deep in the trenches of **farm egg trauma**, questionable fridge decisions, Omaha food cravings, and whether anyone in this town actually works a full day without sneaking off to happy hour. Big Party reveals that his house may have become the **Bermuda Triangle of food**...

Big Party and Molly are back with another deeply important public service episode covering the issues America refuses to face: why white boxer briefs are apparently impossible to find, how a “great deal” on discount chicken wings turned into a crime scene smell, and why Costco wine math makes total sense if you don’t think too hard about it. Big Party gives an update on his white underwear adventu...

Summer break has officially begun, and Molly is already mentally in August. The kids are sleeping in, the laundry is judging everyone, and Big Party remembers a childhood filled with ironing, sewing socks, and learning life skills under threat of doom. Very Midwest. Very efficient. Slightly terrifying. This week, Big Party and Molly talk teen drivers, why a kid’s first car should absolutely be a b...

The Corn Palace has officially noticed Big Party and Molly, which means yes, the show has basically made it. Naturally, the next step is demanding swag and planning a corn-tastic field trip like responsible adults. This episode goes from Midwest tourism glory to Big Party discovering why every feral cat in the neighborhood has been treating his front yard like a weird little nightclub: catnip. Act...

Big Party and Molly are back, and somehow this episode goes from **Wicked tickets at the Orpheum** to **butterflies possibly being dead relatives** to a full-blown debate over whether Illinois picked the right official sandwich. Normal stuff. Big Party kicks things off with a chance to win tickets to **Wicked opening night at the Orpheum Theater in Omaha on June 17th**, plus some very important in...

June 1st is here, which means summer is officially doing that rude thing where it flies by while we’re still looking for last year’s flip-flops. On this episode of **The Big Party Show**, Big Party and Molly kick things off with a very scientific summer tip: change your driving route if you want time to slow down. Then Molly casually mentions seeing an elderly woman sitting alone on a bench at 3:3...

Big Party and Molly are back, and somehow this episode goes from banana splits to Baywatch to group chat crimes in under 30 minutes. Normal stuff. Molly kicks things off with a birthday banana split that was apparently a full-blown piece of edible art, hot fudge gravy boat and all. That sends Big Party down the road of expensive froyo places where kids load up cups with gummy worms, M&M’s, and...

Wedding season is here, and apparently the average wedding now costs **$33,000**, which feels less like a celebration and more like buying a used car with centerpieces. Big Party and Molly start out talking about wedding budgets, open bars, flowers, transportation, and whether parents should still be expected to pay for the big day. Then, as usual, the conversation takes a hard left into Big Party...

Who should pay on a first date? In this episode, Molly Cavanaugh joins the show to break down modern dating culture, share her ultimate prom night nightmare, and discuss the rising costs of going out. We also dive into graduation season madness (is an 8th-grade graduation really a big deal?), check in on Big Party's questionable listening skills, and figure out how edamame ended up on the rug. 💬...
