Manny & Mike can't seem to get enough gambling in their lives; but rather than throwing their money away at the casino, they opt to gamble by getting extended warranties and insurance. Betting that they'll get enough med or repair bills that those sleazy companies will have to pay out. Its got to be worth something to keep us from letting this enshitification bring us down. All that glitters is sure to fade as the best companies and services are all doomed to rent seek and ruin everything that made them worth spending on. I guess it’s time to increase ad revenue...

Mike & Manny give their thoughts on the facets of comedy with an all new April Fool's Banter Banter. Ice breaking, commiserating and emotional care are the topics at hand. But not all of it is positive, as come sources who don't have your best in mind, may use it to sell things to you above all else. Chuckle it up, but be mindful on what its being used for.

Promises. People make them and people break them. So do companies. Even movies give us this treatment. In search of the next hot sale, products get created and ideas get sold. Sometimes those products or ideas flop, and on occasion they succede. Manny and Mike sit down for another episode at the corner of Nostalgia and Reality to chat about the sad, the horrible, and the optomistic of promises sold to the general population over the years. So break out your chair and join Banter Banter for this week's conversation.

Its time for Mike and Manny to return to the cesspool and wade around in the filth again to look into toxic fan culture. This time we focus on the nature of people to over-identify with the products they love. Its great to engage in discussion on the properties you love and while many people don’t always discuss in good faith, lets be honest; The publisher will never care whether or not you die on this hill.

Manny and Mike get together and weigh the heft of their social impact. So so many corporations singing the praises of the individual effort. Keeping a green home to do your part. While that is well and good, its not the practice of those companies doing feel-good ads about their single-use plastic wrapped device with a planned obsolescence based expiration date. Where's uncle Ben when you need him?
