A Special 3XL episode of some of the better song parodies The Robio wrote and performed on the Imus in the Morning Program, not completely politically correct, (and by 'Not Completely', we mean 'Not at all') Some more tasteless than others, (and by 'Some More Tasteless' we mean 'All of Them'). Each one is a little time capsule from the current events of the last 30 years of History; Subjects Inclu...

In this very special episode: The Robio shares songs and stories about his many experiences on The Broadway...with Daniel Radcliffe, Nick Jonas, Huey Lewis, Brad Garrett, Melanie Griffith, Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick...behind the scenes, on and off the stage.  Including clips from the Original Cast Albums.  It's All Singing...All Dancing...All Robio!

In another special episode, The Robio fills in for his neighborhood Ice Cream Man, (who is out sick with the Shingles) but doesn't quite have the personality for it.  So while he tries to get the hang of making all the little boys and girls happy, he presents the full, 3 Episode 'Death Can Kill' Story, 'Deader than Elvis'.  A Murder Mystery in the City of Lights (Not Paris) during an Elvis Imperso...

Join the Robio for the Final 'Elementary Watchalong', listen to running commentary as you view the episode together.  Get some inside info, hideously inappropriate remarks, and a few yuks at Fat Boy's expense.  And hear his idea for what could have been one more scene...a more dramatic ending for Captain Dwyer.  (There's a reason why they didn't ask him to write this episode.)

A trip to the RBRCH Email Bag, with questions from our loyal followers, that run the gamut from the Beatles to Bond to Betty White to 74 Hot Dogs in 10 Minutes and an appearance (or two) with Gilbert Gottfried.

But also Christopher Cross and Air Supply...which you should never listen to if th...

Week three of 'The Elementary Watchalong'. In this episode, 'Into the Woods', Captain Dwyer (The Robio) acts as the Exposition Monitor, providing a service to help the viewer  follow the very tightly knit, twist-laden, plot.  (Not just the murderer's plot, but that of the brilliant script for this episode, by Jeffrey Paul King).  It's a wild story, involving Wine, Swine, and Lookin' Fine.  (The le...

Puh-Lease. The Robio weighs in on AMAZING Singer Kodi Lee,  Fastest Ma...
