The Riff

Fiction EN ↓ 17 episodes

The Riff is a semi-informed, fully-opinionated podcast where two middle-aged guys riff on random topics served up by their AI sidekick, Prompt Daddy. We rate our expertise (it’s usually low), fake-promote products that didn’t ask for it, and try not to take ourselves too seriously. It’s part improv, part therapy, mostly nonsense, and all riffed

Episodes

Summer, Gas Station Snacks & TV Dads 23.06.2026

In this episode of The Riff, Trevor and Dusty introduce new podcast games, spend too much time discussing TV Dads, and debate the most overrated &underrated parts of summer break. This one will also leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about the taste of water.

WD-40, Weed Whackers & Wandering Grocery Aisles 28.05.2026

In this episode of The Riff , Trevor and Dusty dive into the strange world of summer yard work, the psychology of grocery stores, and the miracle substance known as WD-40. From lawn-care competition and confusing produce sections to the universal belief that WD-40 can fix almost anything except emotional damage, the guys riff their way through another beautifully unnecessary conversation.

Warby Parker, Manspreading & The Sound of Progress 03.05.2026

In this episode of The Riff , Trevor and Dusty officially unveil their brand-new theme song (with a little suspiciously helpful assistance), then dive into the stylish world of Warby Parker and the timeless public nuisance known as manspreading. It’s part rebrand, part social commentary, and part two guys talking way too confidently about things they barely understand.

Cool Whip, Cranberries, and a Thanksgiving Crunchwrap 27.11.2025

The guys fully embrace the November mood—gray skies, big meals, and joints that sound like bubble wrap. From their hot takes on Thanksgiving sides to a deep dive into a vat of Cool Whip, this episode captures everything great (and mildly depressing) about fall.

Seeing Less, Sleeping More, Judged Always 26.11.2025

This week, the guys imagine a world where pets leave public reviews, admit that their eyesight and driving abilities peaked in 2007, and debate whether grounding blankets are a wellness breakthrough or a warm placebo. Spoiler: No clarity is reached. It's a 5-star mess from start to finish. Enjoy!

Scented Candles and Smothered Children 28.10.2025

It’s soup season and the candles are burning—mostly because Trevor forgot to blow them out. In this episode, the guys dive into the powerful smells of Yankee Candles, the comfort or dislike of soup, and the paranoia of Life360. Because in 2025, even our soup comes with notifications.

Campfires, Creams, and Colonoscopies 22.10.2025

In this episode, Trevor and Dusty venture into the great outdoors—where the air is fresh, the mistakes are minty, and personal hygiene gets weird. From accidentally brushing teeth with jock itch cream to discussing the glamorous world of colonoscopies, they prove that nature isn’t the only thing that gets wild when you leave civilization.

Don't Rock the Cyber Boat Karen! 22.09.2025

In this episode, Dusty and Trevor attempt to market cyber trucks and riffle on Lake Karens. From futuristic refrigerators on wheels to people who think they own the shoreline, nothing is safe from their riffs. Grab your life jacket and your sense of humor—it’s about to get bumpy.

The Mile-High Mess 09.09.2025

Trevor and Dusty take to the skies—well, metaphorically—to riff on everything about flying. From sitting on the runway with no AC to the chaos of boarding and deplaning, they explore the highs, lows, and turbulence of air travel. Buckle up, stow your tray table, and prepare for a smooth landing of laughter.

Cool Is for Teens, Breathing Is for Us 03.08.2025

In this episode, Dusty and Trevor talk about letting go of the need to be cool, middle-aged breathing struggles, and why Breathe Right nasal strips might just be the peak of self-acceptance. It’s not stylish, but it’s honest—and honestly, that’s the vibe.

One Scoop to Rule Them All 20.07.2025

For the AG1 fans and Lord of the Riff nerds, Dusty and Trevor try to get Athletic Greens to sponsor them and talk about how minor inconveniences can cause major drama.

Regret With a Touch of Lycra 04.07.2025

In this episode, Dusty and Trevor talk about everything from duct-taped furniture to overpriced joggers. They explore what’s worth fixing, what’s worth replacing, and why Lululemon might be the emotional support clothing of middle age.

Confessions with Heart, Reflections with Abs. 29.06.2025

It’s hot, we’re sweating, and we have thoughts. In this episode, we riff on whatever’s cooking—besides the sidewalk. Summer’s here, and so are the opinions nobody asked for.

Minor Superpowers and Major Back Pain 20.06.2025

In this episode of The Riff , Trevor and Dusty dive into the underrated world of minor superpowers—like always knowing where the tape is and sensing when a kid’s about to ask for a snack. They talk Ryobi tools with genuine affection, reflect on Father’s Day (keep the mug, just let us nap), and wrestle with the daily betrayal of their aging bodies. It’s part gratitude, part grumbling, and fully mid...

Do Alpha Males Wear Hokas? 13.06.2025

In this episode of The Riff , Trevor and Dusty tackle the myth of the alpha male, confess their love for Hokas and pill organizers, and shout out the unsung heroes of everyday life—genuinely helpful people. It’s part comedy, part coping mechanism, and not sponsored in any way by loud and incredible orthopedic footwear.

Introducing Prompt Daddy 30.05.2025

ChatGPT gets a nickname and Trevor gets to relive some trauma.

Tom Cruise on a Magic Bullet 28.05.2025

In our debut episode of The Riff , we dive headfirst into topics no one asked for and reveal just how little we know about the atmosphere (spoiler: it’s a lot). From space conspiracies to questionable science takes, this episode sets the tone for a podcast built on bold opinions, shaky facts, and unearned confidence. Buckle up—it’s the launch no one needed but we recorded anyway.
