Old Fashioned Monkey Love 28:31

28:31

This week I discuss the Five Monkeys Experiment, time-traveling nut shots, and how old people are ruining America with senior citizen's discounts. I can't wait to qualify. The discount cut-off should be based on relevant medical data, not age. To me... I'm 65 right now!By Michael C. Durso

I took my dog on a float trip this weekend and we had a blast. I thought I would take my listeners along because I didn't have time to write anything else. It was a great time, and at least now I know I can still, "Rough-It" when I have to pass the Apocalypse Challenge - Civil War Edition.By Michael C. Durso

Congratulations to the US Women's Soccer Team on their gold medal. It makes me miss Umbros. It's a good thing they don't have parenting as an Olympic sport, I don't think I could medal - even if I play on the girls team. One father for sale! One father for sale! One crying and whining old father for sale! I’m really not kidding, So who’ll start the…

Shame On Me? 35:10

1M ago35:10

35:10

An eighty-year-old man walks into a confessional. He sits down and the priest asks him to submit his sins to the lord. The old man says, "I married a beautiful eighteen year old woman, with a great body that wants to have sex as often as I can." The priest says, "OK... but if you are married, it's not a sin and you have nothing to be ashamed of. Wh…

America literally dodged a bullet on Saturday, July 13th. Well, most of it anyway. One inch hasn't mattered this much since my penis stopped working, and if you don't think we dodged a bullet on Saturday you are a monster, plain and simple. And that's that.By Michael C. Durso

Be Kind. Rewind. 32:38

32:38

Generation X was the "take it home" movie generation. The first video store opened in 1977, and streaming started in 1992. We watched as VHS, BETA, and Laserdisc battled for market dominance, but it was a short-lived victory for VHS. Within a few years we threw away our VHS for Blu-ray like it had cooties. Now Blu-ray and Generation X are both in t…

Sometimes You Need To Burn Your Boat 32:26

32:26

This is my tenth episode! I set that as goal number one and that's that! I am really proud to hit my first milestone. I don't know if I can say that I did it in-stride though. The last few episodes turned out well (to me), but I am struggling a little bit trying to find the balance between the good old-fashioned storytelling, and the interactive st…

I'm Sorry Sigourney Weaver 37:01

2M ago37:01

37:01

Last week I called Sigourney Weaver a demonic dog, and that was in error. It was a sloppy mistake. I hope that this deep dive on some of my worst mistakes is an acceptable apology. Two men were sitting at a bar one night talking about mistakes. The first guy said he'd had a horrible Freudian slip just days earlier, when he was at the airport and mi…

"A bus full of ugly people have a head on collision with a truck. When they died, God granted all of them one wish. The first person said, "I want to be gorgeous." God snapped his fingers and it happened. The second person said the same thing and God did the same thing. This went on and on, throughout the group. God noticed that the last man in lin…

Hope & Baseball 32:05

32:05

The 1982 St. Louis Cardinals were my introduction to the fairness of sport, in a world where nothing else made sense, and everybody wanted something. To hope for, or be crestfallen by, circumstances completely out of my control was a valuable lesson. I'll let you know when I've learned it. Thank you baseball... GO CARDS! Favorite baseball joke befo…

HOLDEN DURSO 2020 37:03

3M ago37:03

37:03

Everyone I know seems to have a completely different perception of the 2024 presidential race. Not just a difference of opinion, but a complete lack of comprehension. It wasn’t just one side of the street that refused to see that the emperor was naked in Hans Christian Andersen’s folktale. Neither side will question why two men, nearing the end of …

29:10

On December 31st, 1979 I fell in love for the first time. I was about to turn six, and Blondie (the singer, I am not that old) was rocking in the New Year with Dick Clark. I wanted to be with blondie almost as much as I wanted a dog. Years later, a young me made that dream come true... Sort of. I was born with a giant mop of curly blonde hair. I'm …

A Memorial Day To Forget 30:30

4M ago30:30

30:30

This is the story of the worst Memorial Day of my life. Think about that statement. To complain about a day specifically set aside to remember our fallen soldiers or possibly worse, would be ludicrous. This podcast is meant to entertain, possibly induce laughter, and give some perspective. It certainly gives some to me. I hope that you see the iron…

The Three Beers 39:03

39:03

The DEA recently re-categorized marijuana from schedule I to schedule III. This story is one of my few stories with no repercussions for me. I just like the story, and as we change our views on what constitutes a dangerous drug, I think it should be told. I don't think my stories should ever be emulated, but understanding them should be important t…

This episode is a three-story montage of shocking true-life hooker stories, while we further investigate some of the particulars of the job, and where it has intersected my life and relationships.

This is Uncommon Content's introductory episode. Michael Durso is a the author of OFF THE RESERVATION; Stories I Almost Took To The Grave & Probably Should Have. Equal parts shocking and moving, Off the Reservation is an absurdist confessional memoir, accurately detailing the reckless hijinks of a bipolar alcoholic. This stranger-than-fiction true …
