  • ADIOS Loyal from the beginning

    loyal listener since inception & long time Patreon, valued this pod for its rare ability to provide an escape thru comedy. Unfortunately, the show has pivoted from humor to political platform campaigning to his 1000s of listeners to vote for a man who wants to bring fascism to the streets. I guess the Joe Rogan route is all that’s left in podcasts. Going from a grounded LI guy to becoming an elitist where bad things won’t happen to his family bc he’s friends w/the grifter is something I’d never ... more

  • Parents

    You see your parents in one year 5 times more than I see my adult kids. They live 40 min away. I’m jealous. My kids are brats. Don’t spoil Beckett. She’s a good girl. She won’t do that to you. I thought that too.

  • Loved this episode - my Echo & BM story

    In 1988 I attended one of MANY Echo concerts on the east coast and as a 16 year old frenzied girl would do, I muscled my my way to the front of the stage and Ian threw his cigarette down right in front of me and I grabbed it, put it my “keep sake” box and have it STILL!!!

    I hate smokers and have never smoked and it smells awful but I loved having something his lips had been in - #gross #dumbgirl
