Dysfunctional Dialogue episodes

  • Forked Up

    One ridiculous mishap after another has my wife and I laughing hard before we even begin. The fun continued as we chewed over whether we would speak to our past self or future descendants and chinwagged on how great it would be to go back in time, with our kids to 1976 and we’re all 10 years old.

  • The Smartest Person in the World

    Back again, having a laugh-riot with Brian Smith as he takes us on a disturbingly funny medical odyssey. Bookending that unsettling ride are some amusing flashbacks to our college days at Niagara University, parties at Manhattan College and the “brilliance” of Brian.

  • Got Milk?

    My wife joins me this week and things get fun real quick as we merrily laugh our way through a sound check and field some wildly strange questions. It’s a great time, from some interesting takes on some mind-bending questions to getting particularly silly right from the beginning and right through the end.

  • Can’t Go Wrong

    Back with the college crew, having a great time, reliving the pitfalls and comedic disasters. We then shift to bigger questions like whether you’d rather meet your past self or your future self and, more importantly, what you’d do about it. Come join us, Can’t Go Wrong

  • Body Swap

    Imagine swapping bodies or memories with random people every year or jumping through time to different stages of your life at any given moment? Come join my daughter and I as we do just that and make it even more absurd as we laughed our way through possibilities.

  • Gesticulation

    Laughing real hard again with my longtime friend, Brian Smith, who is back again for a visit as we take to the mics in our satellite studio. Join us for the beginning part of an extended, absurd, chat as Brian gesticulates while pondering a lifetime of arguing with himself and the fate of his prized possessions.

  • Diabolical

    You meet yourself… it’s awkward. You rewrite the past... it backfires. You learn how it all ends... and you laugh anyway. This week, my daughter and I tackle a series of odd questions and have a lot of fun doing it! Come enjoy the nonsense with us.

  • Popcorn Pass Out

    The college buddies bring it again with more big laughs as we tell more wild stories and dig deeper into some other favorites. From an epic college introduction to self-made environmental hazards to the many joys of popcorn and ripping on friends, my buds and I have another great, fun-filled, chat. Enjoy!

  • Generational Impact

    Back with the ol' neighborhood crew, revisiting the chaos that somehow shaped us into functional adults. We talk about the mischief, the influence we had on each other, and how a group with a pretty wide age gap not only got along—but thrived. Another great chat with my brother and our friends!

  • In the Simulation

    This week I am joined again by my daughter (or her clone?) as we dive right into some really odd scenarios. We start with wondering what our world would look like if technology either stops working… or works a little too well. We continue with alternate universes, afterlives, mind reading, and the possibility that reality isn’t what it seems. It’s real a fun chat with some mind bending thoughts.
