The Steve & Jeff Show

Send us Fan Mail Always pushing the boundaries of literacy and knowledge, our hosts dive head first into the deep connections between food and dreams by hosting trad wife and author Mara Schmidt, whose new book "You Dream What You Eat" shows people how to curate their dreams by simply eating the right foods. Listeners will love the descriptions of her Dadaist yet esoteric dreams. Our hos...

Send us Fan Mail Our hosts revisit an interview with world famous author and motivational speaker Tony Zigfield, who Steve met while making a beeline for the men's room at Southern California's convenient Randolph Scott Airport. Money seems to be an issue as they navigate an interview chock full of quotable, memorable, and motivational platitudes handed out by Mr. Zigfield as if they wer...

Send us Fan Mail In a likely futile attempt to keep their minds sharp, Steve and Jeff play the fun game Would You Rather. Miss Clare joins the game and makes things much more immediate. Our hosts start the game on Sesame Street but wind up closer to Cloverfeld Lane. Jeff wants to take his salary in lottery tickets. Steve promises to watch the new Captain Marvel movie. Miss Clare is no doubt spread...

Send us Fan Mail Jeff convinces Steve that it's a wonderful thing to call people he hasn't talked to in years and renew friendships. Steve finds the true impact he had on people over the years and reaches an Epiphany or at least an Epiphany Eve. He even gives singing a shot but reverts to reciting lyrics. Jeff left to pour over his 23 & Me report in a desperate search for a half-sist...

Send us Fan Mail Spurred on by a discussion of the "In Memoriam" section of award shows, Steve and Jeff discuss Keith Richards and Jeff remembers seeing a documentary about his early life, which our hosts play for their listeners.  Hosted by a pretentious yet pompous narrator, the documentary looks at people who were part of Keith's life as a child. Some of these people may have act...

Send us Fan Mail In a wide ranging exploration on the topic of perspective, our hosts take callers' comments and questions to get a better feel for what the people want. Callers range from total strangers to almost total strangers. Miss Clare receives a special delivery. Steve is excited to revisit the glory days of the American Basketball Association. Jeff realizes he may have been lying for...

Send us Fan Mail Steve and Jeff take comedy to a serious level when they explore the multiple and sometimes conflicting layers of consciousness and reality, or at least that is how their guest Dr. Armand Leubethrewer described it in a later news conference. Our hosts treat us to stories of an imitation of an imitation, and then amaze us all with a fourth generation imitation. Important in the disc...

Send us Fan Mail Walking on a cloud after sweeping the prestigious 2024 Poddy Awards for excellence in podcasting, Steve and Jeff revisit one of the winning episodes. They bring on Dr. Armand Leubethrewer, Charles Foster Kane Professor of Histrionics and Sand Volleyball at Cathartic State University and author of the scholarly yet rarely read book "What You Don't Know Can Hurt Me: Macroo...

Send us Fan Mail In a stroke of good fortune, inventor Harold Thomas Johnson returns to discuss how he discovered static electricity, which led to multiple inventions to help the personal stress of millions of people. Steve and Johnny show some signs of strain in their working relationship, but maybe Steve pumps it up into more of an issue than it should be. Jeff is excited to field test the new v...

Send us Fan Mail Our hosts bring a dose of reality to Hollywood by interviewing Ms. Vivian Ward, the real person whose life was distorted into a confusion of Prostestant and prostitute by film producers. Her life has been a long series of events usurped  by Hollywood., everything from toxic torts to odd partners and roommates. Ms. Ward hedges about a suspicious death that may or may not have occur...

Send us Fan Mail Steve and Jeff attempt to interview Harold Thomas Johnson, who says he invented electricity in 1987, but a major negotiations coup by Miss Clare brings our hosts to their knees and they finally settle with their new producer. They wax nostalgically about this season with Miss Clare and remind listeners of pertinent facts the listeners likely didn't know to begin with. All see...

Send us Fan Mail On the occasion of Steve's dad's 90th birthday, our hosts wax nostalgic and think about genetics, which of course brings to mind their Season One show with Paleo-Geneticist Dr. Xenia Goldfarb. Dr. Goldfarb discusses how humanity was a mistake, and why we should be nice to cats. Jeff makes a slow recovery from his first in a series of nose jobs, and is shocked to learn th...

Send us Fan Mail Steve and Jeff welcome the world's richest man...well, at least the richest man's sock puppet, although the man himself makes a cameo appearance. Our hosts lose ownership of the show but through tenacity and high liabilities they are able to get the show back. The sock puppet is concerned about this year's monsoon season. Jeff offers to sell his hair, if you can bel...

Send us Fan Mail Steve and Jeff prove that nostalgia ain't what it used to be by re-enacting a "mystery challenger" segment of an old What's My Line show. Of course, they booked the guest and she was right in front of them so a good part of the mystery was missing. The "mystery challenger" was Doris Day (not that one) a cat juggler. Doris talks about her career throwi...

Send us Fan Mail Steve and Jeff take a break from being funny to embark on a serious yet philosophical view of bad luck as a concept. Their guest, Billie Cosby, details her life-long struggle with bad luck and everyone feels something. Steve swears off eating potatoes. Jeff is hungry enough to eat half a pie baked by Aunt Bea.  Johnny bets the ranch on Prilosec. And Billie hopes she has some dice...

Send us Fan Mail Bob "Crash" Davis, the survivor of 17 plane crashes, is reported missing over Lake Michigan, and our hosts recall his interview from last season. The parrot scheduled for this episode will re-appear at a later date. Steve gets some good travel tips and is suddenly hungry for almonds. Jeff champions transportation accident equity. Johnny switches from his car to the Red R...

Send us Fan Mail In an attempt to be bare and balanced in their coverage of medical issues, Steve and Jeff host a highly paid medical professional, Dr. D., who by his own admission is the most important person on Earth. Pronunciation still eludes them however. Dr. D discusses his book "I Didn't Go to Medical School for my Health," and diagnoses several listeners live on air without...

Send us Fan Mail Faced with a long standing attraction that strict Fruchtians would call Oedipal, our hosts speak with an interpreter of dreams, Dr. Jolene Bishop Green, author of the airport bestseller "Not All Dreams Are Wet." Dr. Jolene talks Steve through his struggle and leads him to the obvious answer. Now Steve can't wait until Mother's Day. Steve and Jeff take a deep di...

Send us Fan Mail Still locked out by Miss Clare, our hosts break into the little studio for tonight's show. Knowing they need help, they host Nick Danger, Private Dick and Professional Negotiator, who gives them advice on how to solve their problems. Steve and Jeff show their acute negotiation skills live on the show! Steve talks about his travel experience with Big D. Jeff explains why carry...

Send us Fan Mail Exiled to the basement of Eccentric Ladyland Studios, Steve and Jeff soldier on by recognizing a guest from Season One who has succeeded based on her appearance on the show. Fashion influencer Chrysanthemum tells us all what we should wear, but even more importantly than that she issues Zen quotes practically on demand. Steve is pretty sure he partied with her parents. Jeff overco...

Send us Fan Mail In a surprise coup, the new producer Miss Clare grabs control of Eccentric Ladyland Studios and takes over the  show. In the process she locks out of the studio Steve and Jeff. Her salary and other perks are currently in negotiations. As a peace offering (negotiation tactic??) Miss Clare features vintage clips from Season One, which probably blew right past most of you. Here'...

Send us Fan Mail Steve and Jeff welcome Joe Jr., son of PharmaBrute's founder, only to learn that Jr. has taken most of the family and started a new company based in natural animal-based remedies, leaving his dad with a shell of PharmaBrute. Jeff, for the first time in his life, is suddenly interested in Kathy's cosmetics. Steve considers swapping out his Placebix for Golden Retrieval bu...

Send us Fan Mail Steve and Jeff get serious and try to raise awareness about Juvenile Tourette's Syndrome, refusing to fall for the cheap jokes. They host a young mother and her one-year-old Daphne who suffers from the Syndrome. Daphne tests the boundaries, as kids often do. Jeff considers sending Kathy to the DMV next time. Steve takes the show to the other side, gives the show a pill, and t...

Send us Fan Mail In their constant effort to make money, Steve and Jeff try the lucrative and low-stress world of marriage counseling. They help Steve (or Joe) and Lori (or Mary) get to the core of their relationship. They also have a handy pivot once they get there. The happy couple leaves happier, or at least relieved, and Steve thinks about his mom's '65 Impala again. Jeff ponders a t...

Send us Fan Mail To show they are an educational show, Steve and Jeff welcome Mr. X, an expert in conspiracies going on right around you. Mr. X drops a major reveal on plant based foods. Mr X is in constant danger, so Steve and Jeff take careful precautions to hide the fact he is Scott Brown, who lives near 40th and Dodge in Omaha. We would never reveal that! Mr. X (Scott Brown) - Joe McBride Stev...
