It’s long overdue but we’re finally checking out Adam Carolla’s ex-wife’s podcast. Lynette Carolla and her friend Stefanie cackle about nonsense, tell each other how great they are, and get confused by TV shows. It’s cute that rich women who have nannies and unlimited resources can act like they know what it’s like to raise children. Christian Blad…

McLaughlin, John McMahon and his family, and Andre Christol. Moving forward into the 1880s we get into the era of William Muldoon and his archrival (and some…

There’s a basketball league in the United States called the WNBA. You’ve probably never heard of it unless you watch ESPN, then you’d think it’s the most important sports league of all time. Angel Reese is a player in that league that a lot of people don’t have a high opinion of, so she started a podcast to set the record straight. Well now I hate …

Producer Chris and I had an "emergency" episode this week to respond to Stuttering John's proof that I'm gay. John watched a 17 second clip of WATP on a subreddit and that’s all he needed to out me as a blatant homosexual. Also, Stuttering John gets caught in so many lies in this episode he doesn’t even attempt to talk his way out of it. He’s a bad…

A former impractical joker and a guy who thinks he’s a late night TV show host give advice to teenagers for some reason. Two Cool Moms is the corniest show I’ve ever heard. The nonstop riffing is only interrupted by attempts to give serious advice like “live your own truth” and other empty platitudes. Brandon McAfee joins us to discuss all of the b…

Howard Stern is back from his summer vacation and boy is he excited to get back on the air. Oh wait, nope, he immediately starts complaining about having to work. But he has a lot to talk about, right? Nope, he wants to berate Gary Dell’Abate (Baba Booey) over a very trivial concern. And his hot political take? He still wants to vote for Biden. Ada…

As my research into the pioneer era of pro wrestling continues, I am now into the 1880s which is the era dominated by 'The Solid Man' William Muldoon. What is the reality of William Muldoon? Should he be held in higher esteem than the dominate wrestler of the 1870s, Col. James H. McLaughlin? What was Muldoon's deal? He started out as a policeman in…

Daugne Keith is a woman who claims to be a comedian. She hosts a podcast that basically is a rip off of Who Are These Socials, the show I cohost with Blind Mike. Her and her amusing friends watch crazy videos on social media and offer their witty takes. Well, change amusing to ponderous, change crazy to tedious, and change witty to brainless. Truck…

This week we’re checking out a podcast that has been going for over twelve years. Jackie Schimmel started the show as an opportunity to complain about how life just isn’t fair. So at this point, in 2024, she should be really good at bitching about stuff… or so you would think. Blind Mike joins the show to discuss whether saying something with a sil…
