Dave is breaking in some new equipment and now he's like a kid in a candy store, with the new fangled mixer, studio mic, and related accessories transporting him back to his days in radio. Just for the fun of it, he's recorded an "air check," which is basically a truncated version of what he used to do on the radio. The good news for us is that Dave's old Cajun friend, Alphonse Fontenot, also appears on the program with some updates from bayou country.

The Dave Carter Show is a humorous, right of center podcast that serves as an oasis of laughter and mischievous fun in a world where political news and commentary are usually accompanied by ever-rising blood pressure and exasperation. This is the place to go to decompress and share a laugh with (or at) the host, enjoy compelling interviews with interesting guests, and listen in on the hilarious antics of a cast of zany characters from Dave’s days as a radio show host. As Dave likes to say, feel free to gather the family around the bar, pour a drink, and share a laugh.

With Super Tuesday behind us, Election 2024 is at full throttle, and Ricochet's Dave Carter has Talk Radio extraordinaire Brian Rust on speed dial.  Talk Radio host-extraordinaire Brian Rust masters Panama City Beach's morning drive time from his post at News Talk 101 FM. The Brian Rust Show is heard across the country, around the world and even in the corridors of power in Washington DC. As the conversation unfolds, you'll hear an assessment of Super Tuesday, some advice for presumptive Republican Nominee Donald Trump, what a succesfull campaign would look like, and a diagnosis on the utter inability of leftist media elites (pardon the redundancy) to understand the struggle of everyday Americans in dire circumstances of President Biden's own making.  Then, Dave and his cast of characters get together for a laugh out loud romp through the day's headlines.  There's plenty to think on and laugh at in this episode, brought as always with a wry smile and a compelling narrative.  Grab the popcorn, pour a drink, and enjoy!

At a time when despair and depression are just a mouse-click away and the very air itself weighs heavy with bad news and mayhem, the occasional laugh can be refreshing and cathartic.  Which is why Ricochet's Dave Carter turned to friend and comedian David Deeble to get his decidedly wry perspective and unique humor on all sorts of topics.  A veteran comedian who has traveled the world and performed in a variety of venues, David Deeble has appeared on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, the Late Late Show with James Corden, CBS This Morning, America's Got Talent, Last Comic Standing, among many other places and programs. In this episode, the two Daves discuss everything from life on a cruise ship, to the pleasures of European airport security, Donald Trump's righteous mug show scowl, and the state of stand-up comedy today (including something Dave Carter refers to as "The Dance of the Monotonous Vulgarians").  Calling in from Germany, David Deeble has a great many observations and perspectives that we believe you will find quite interesting. And of course there are the laughs, which are never far away in this relaxing and enjoyable episode.

Comic Relief with David Deeble

How would you react if you learned that your home is haunted by an entity that was there long before you, effectively making you a guest in your own home? Most of us have seen various television shows featuring paranormal investigations, and it's fairly easy to speculate about how we would react from the comfort of a non-haunted home. But how would you react if it was happening at your own residence?  That's the question facing Ricochet's Dave Carter as he grapples with rather odd happenings at his home by the bay in Panama City, Florida. In this politics free edition of The Dave Carter Show, our host invites longtime friends and paranormal investigators Paul Bonnette and his lovely and charming wife Nikki into his home to have a look at the situation, after which they join Dave and Becky in studio to discuss their findings. The result is a riveting conversation that we believe you will find quite compelling whether you believe in the paranormal or not.  The show also features an interesting perspective on Jason Aldean's hit song "Try That In A Small Town" and an offbeat news report from announcer Mark Benoit and a cast of characters.  So dim the lights, hide the Ouija Board, and enjoy an evening with the spirits.

Carter Cottage; A Parnormal Investigation

As the Presidential Primary season gets underway, Dave turns to talk radio host extraordinaire Brian Rust whose diagnosis of the political scene is spot-on and as accurate as anyone else in the business. A radio broadcaster with nearly 34 years experience, Mr. Rust is the host of The Brian Rust Show, which is heard and viewed across the country and in several countries around the world. As the conversation progresses, Dave and Brian discuss the current field of Republican presidential contenders, including Vivek Ramaswamy, Rick Scott and, of course, Donald Trump and how receptive the electorate may be to Republican policies. The recent congressional testimony of FBI Director Christopher Wray comes under scrutiny, as does the campaign of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. It's an interesting conversation and a compelling episode that includes everything from Dave's tales from his job of transporting patients to and from doctor's appointments, to an impending paranormal investigation of Dave's residence and, of course, the fascinating conversation of two broadcasters. We think you'll enjoy the result!

In this episode (the first in a little while), Ricochet's own Dave Carter catches us up various events in his world before sitting down with Whiskey Dave for an in-depth discussion on the what they both agree is the "absolute insanity" filling the current headlines. From presidential politics, the Trump indictment and foreign affairs to the tendency of the left to overwhelm Americans' attention with a multitude of assaults on reason, culture, and civil society generally.  Never one to wallow in despair, Dave then treats us to a bit of presidential satire to tickle the funny bone.  It's good to have him back, great to hear his new podcast sound kit, and informative to hear the two Daves discuss current events.
