Dysfunctional Dialogue episodes

  • Cheese Please

    Forget body spray - this week, we sample a new line of fictional sprays: Knowledge-in-a-Can, Extra Luck Mist, and the always-handy Instant Healing Fog. Warning: side effects may include overthinking and uncontrollable laughter. Our only problem? Deciding which magical can to crack open first. Come join my daughter Melissa McParland and I on this week’s Dysfunctional Dialogue.

  • Deterioration

    For some reason, the more we drank, the more silly things became. Who would’ve guessed? Come join Steve Macaluso and I for a weekend mid-day drink-fest and enjoy the spectacle as things deteriorate along the way.

  • Plant the Seed

    Some podcasts explore philosophy. Ours explores what happens when everyday activities sound suspiciously like pillow talk. This week is proof that if you listen closely enough, the entire world is one big innuendo. Yoga, gardening, painting, pool toys—no hobby is safe. Spoiler: it gets weird fast.

    Enjoy, again, with guests Debbie McParland and Steve Macaluso!

  • Wet & Foamy

    Have you ever mistaken things said at the dentist or gym for things happening in the bedroom? Well, we sure hope not. But if you do, this episode might shine a light on that and more. Join me with great friend Steve Macaluso and my beautiful wife Debbie as we get downright silly with innuendos and more.

  • Don't Fall Down

    Friendship isn’t built on compliments—it’s built on brutal honesty, absurd jokes, and taking shots at each other. We’ve got all three covered this week as we laugh, roast, and we remind each other of fun and embarrassing moments. After all, that’s what friends are for. Join me for some fun with my wife Debbie and my good friend Bill Schories.

  • A New Record

    My wonderful wife Debbie and longtime friend Bill Schories join me for a ride that starts with production disasters, slides into college flashbacks, and ends up in a game of innuendo-filled one-liners. This week’s episode is proof that the detours are where the real fun lives.

  • My Future Wife

    Pulling back the curtain and rewinding to the embarrassing and mischievous events of our youth including the time my romantic gesture got confiscated, a school ‘break-in’ was rewarded with academic improvements, and The Kiss with a Twist. Oh … and apparently, our marriage is now just a job! Please join my wife and I on “My Future Wife”, as we rip off the bandage on some awkward moments, discuss a fool-proof way to quit smoking and rehash some fun times beginning way back in 7th grade.

  • Laugh & Death

    We’ve made peace with the fact that life is ridiculous — and death might be, too. This week, we swap stories of our low-budget childhood, dabble with the supernatural, and discover that a drunken Ouija board is less a portal to the other side and more a comedy prop. You are invited to lean in close, turn down the lights, and follow a conversation that wanders between the ludicrous and the mysteries of the afterlife. You’ll laugh. You’ll shiver. And when it’s over… you just might look over your shoulder.

  • Smart or Stupid

    Some questions don’t need answers and others should be avoided entirely. Of course…that didn’t stop us! Come join me with my sister Erin, as we take a wonderfully immature and hilarious stroll down the hypothetical hallway.

  • The Lone Sane Man

    Warning: Opinions May Not Be Vetted. In this week’s episode of Dysfunctional Dialogue, meet Jacob Carriero, “The Lone Sane Man”, who has proven that confidence often outruns reality. Come enjoy the person who boldly mistook wild guesses for gospel truth with the confidence of a child and the certainty of a prophet. You may know him… but not by his real name. This exceptional young man doesn’t just think outside the box - he sometimes denies the box even exists. All Hail the logically illogical Oracle.
