Burn & Rave

What do dating and death have in common? Sometimes they feel the same.

Join Ryan and Sam on their conversational journey as they attempt, albeit poorly, to give dating advice to one unlucky listener while also pondering better ways to be buried.

In this podcast masterclass, Ryan and Sam do what they do best: Burn and Rave at close of day.

The rambling geniuses, Ryan and Sam, have returned . . . and their humor is contagious.

In this episode, listeners will learn how women will take over the world, how Sam got the beating of his life, that Bob Barker has a really really big mic, and the Price is always Right! There's also stuff about Ryan's agoraphobia, robots, and elderly docents--all the things you deeply care about.

What do prostate exams, ASMR, Disneyland, scud missiles, Turkish wrestling, robo calls, and Ryan all have in common? 

We have no idea, but somehow they all get discussed in this special holiday edition of Burn & Rave, the show you have come to know and love as a short respite from the turmoil in our world . . . and we appreciate you for listening, and hopefully laughing, with us.

Ryan and Sam discuss coffee, Top Gun, water polo violence, Sam's film deficiency, Ryan's magnificent body, Sam's short complex, and why they make the perfect life partners. In other words, these two morons have opened their mouths again on another Friday night together and this is what came out. Please enjoy it in the background as you shave, defecate, and prepare to win the day.

Ryan and Sam attempt each week to bring you a thoughtful, analytical, narrowly focused, and well-rehearsed show. But sometimes, things go awry.

Who are we kidding? We have no idea what we are doing.

Wanna know the truth? We had a great topic planned. But then Ryan wrote a joke that Sam didn't like (or maybe it was payback for last week when Sam wrote a joke that Ryan crapped on.) Either way, the pair decided to try to write a new joke . . . together . . . and, well, that's what you're about to listen to. 

Sometimes the things we don't plan become the best things in our lives . . . like our children.

Sometimes you have a plan and all goes according to it. And sometimes, you have nights like this.

In this episode of Burn & Rave, Ryan and Sam discuss their names, why  pirates wear eye patches, pedophilia lenses, and why dentists are not real doctors. They also dismantle the entire medical establishment, one pill at a time, and read some fan mail all in 30 minutes.

Disclaimer: Nothing these two idiots-with-microphones say should be taken seriously. Well, maybe a few things. You'll have to listen to discover which is which.

P.s. We will do better next time.

P.p.p.s. We apologize to any chiropractors, optometrists, dentists, or anyone in the pharmaceutical industry who might have been offended by this podcast. We are obviously joking. We need you all (mostly).

Ryan and Sam both grew up in the 90s without the distractions of cell phones, so these mischievous young men found others way to entertain themselves . . . that nearly killed them.

In this episode, Ryan and Sam retell stories of their youth that you should never repeat. Also, Ryan finds a fortune cookie and they get their first piece of fan mail!

Do you have a childhood dream buried inside a drawer? Time to take it out.

In this premiere episode (So don't judge them. They don't know what they're doing yet.), Ryan and Sam discuss the benefits of quarantine, from renewing family ties, emerging creativity, and developing a "fvck it" attitude that increases the likelihood that things, which have been on hold for a couple decades, will finally get done in the second half of life. This podcast is one of those things.

"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

Burn & Rave with Ryan & Sam is about two dudes from the opposite sides of life who became close friends during quarantine. Ryan--a mechanic, trucker, tattooed lover of Jesus with a penchant for building hot rods sits down weekly with Sam--a vertically challenged professor and poet laureate of Syrian/Muslim descent with a knack for ninja skills and writing long descriptions to try to lure you into listening to this podcast. Each week will feature frank (and funny) discussions about topical issues that you care about from cancel culture to the 1990s, generational divides, masculinity, marriage, parenting, life in your 40s, fitness, education, and much much more. We will also open our mail bag, drop obscure facts, read passages of literature that should never have been published, and generally engage in tomfoolery for your listening pleasure. We hope to enrich and enliven your life for 20-30 minutes at a time. Please join us as we Burn & Rave at close of day!
