Give me a little bit to bring the funny...

If the early bird gets the worm, then we are the worm and the bird is middle age bicep tendonitis. Because of how much we lift. Cheeseburgers. We lift cheeseburgers. Trust me. Or don't. But, you should trust the music man, Casey Kreines. He is the real deal, and this week, we have him. So, with his help, we tackle Bezos and his band of Blue brands, jazz and the insanity that is the recorder, our new invention - the tub claw, Casey's take on dudes wearing open-toed shoes at a concert, death to autotune, the musician greats of years past and where we saw them, the REAL reason why Rich hates New England (and Rhode Island), the lab somewhere filled with Gene Wilders, aliens, Twitch and the rise of live-streaming musicians like JeanetteMusic, and the (rescheduled!) current events. The events, names, impersonations, and copyrights of this podcast are trademarked by blah blah blah, blah blah. No, not Bob Loblaw's Law Blog.

Hijinks, buffoonery, shenanigans, antics; they are on sale today, buy 1, get 3 free! Julianna DePalantino, once interim host of this illustrious podcast, has transformed into a guest, and like a butterfly has sprouted wings and flapped and fluttered all the way to the studio. And, because we are just THAT interesting, we recap last week's Tommy-song, losing our hairs (most, but not all, of them), that time Rich "flew high as a kite" after wisdom teeth surgery, our idea for an even newer podcast, Julz's perspective on Rich sweating out his wait at the altar, (as promised) that time Steve ghosted Julz after two dates, s'more of our most embarrassing stories, the story of serial police impersonator Jeremy Dewitte, losing our minds on the drums, and Julz brings us the current events. Class is knowing what to say, when to say it, and when to MAKE MAGIC ALL THE LIVE LONG DAY.

Remember "Dilly Dilly!" Yea, so do we. Hmmmm. Good times. This week, we welcome Rich's brother-in-law (really, Rich 2.0), Adam Ruff, to rescue us from ourselves. Can it be done? You'll have to find out. He's got it all: some exciting and crazy dad-life, that one kid you know just raised themselves in the wild, Rich's 30 cubic feet of power, how much Rich had to sweat it out at his and Julz's wedding, buttered rhinos (obviously), Adam's rewarding and sometimes challenging job as a pediatric physical therapist, how bad Rich is at cornhole, the new participation trophy that is Pre-K graduation, how insanely awful are junior high dances, more movies, Tommy breaks Rich completely with song, and some truly stunning pandemic current events. 'Cause on this podcast, when you ask for a cookie, we give you some milk. It's in the by-laws! Look it up!

My, how the turn tables. With no warning, Steve is cast out and supplanted by 4 women. Who'da thunk it? Well, they BRING IT to the remaining testosterone with exactly the kind of sass and spunk you'd expect. They've got it all: the origin story of their infamous troupe, the Brandy Band, Julz's vicious vendetta to torture Rich daily, how dudes gotta get their dating profiles in order (I mean, come on, man), Eliza's Olympic prowess and celebrity, the joys of peeing in so many strange places, Katie and Eliza with the current events, and finally, how slow can Rich do...well...everything? There ya have it. Don't nobody go nowhere.

We challenge you to a duel of wits. Heads we win, tails you lose. One round with Adam "Copernicus" Bender is all it takes to know he's gonna break our hearts. But, jokes on him, because like the tin man, we have none. Far more organized than we care to admit, we tackle actual topics like how far would you go for love?, Maroon 5 vs Nickleback, the Phillies quintessentially representing Philadelphia, and recasting great and terrible movies. For this episode, as always, I blame Rich.

Win or lose, it's how you make the podcast that counts. Unfortunately for us, we make it weird. This week, Timothy "Habakkuk" Brooks of the Brooks Brothers (not really) joins us to get introspective, and we definitely don't enjoy what our insides look like. For you, we have an assortment of peeing in the dark, Rich's brokeback moment, gender perceptions, Tim's podcast "I'll Talk If You'll Listen", air fryer black magic, May the 4th Be With You, the beauty of Wegman's, the 501st Legion, analog vs digital, how incredibly smart Rich is, recognizing actors and voice actors, descent into madness, rally, ascent back to reality, Disney franchises (the real ones), and finally Gullible's Travels (aka Steve gets punked). We were just gonna, you know, grade our lunches, eat a few tests and hope for the best.

So, we heard you like podcasts with four dudes bantering, drinking beer, and getting all the facts wrong. Oddly specific. Well, have we got a deal for you - this week our guest Joe Alamia makes a lot of good arguments as to why he should replace Rich. Besides that, we get into the Mandela Effect, Joe's podcast that Rich is cheating on, the new Mortal Kombat movie, Betta Fish and Beta Males, Top Gun, Philly sports and Rich's man-crush on Pat Burrell, Gen Z's return to the '90s, and Joe brings us the current events of Florida. Cleanup on aisle 4.

Would you believe us if we told you these episodes are scripted? Yea, we have a team of wildly rabid writers working around the clock to bring you CONTENT. This week, our bestest mentsh, Aaron Ullman has the chutzpah to stop by at our studio and puts up with our mishigas. The schticks: pet peeves, catching the Irish, breeding incestuous gerbils, sorbet vs sherbet, the beautiful soul that is Richard Dreyfuss, Aaron's Facebook twin, Tommy's first impression of Rich, Cleveland, the running of the toddlers at the zoo, dad life, and when giving blood goes horribly wrong. Stay six feet away at all times.

Here we go again. Pittsburgh-native Alex Gideon finds himself on HTG4A's couch this week ready to watch some rom-coms with them. Without much keen awareness, the crew goes after Craigslist "dating", corning, and Alex's stalker. And, it wouldn't be a male-hormone induced rage of an episode without some Star Wars and sports talk. Just like Vegas, what happens on HTG4A...well, what happens on HTG4A does end up on the Internet, so good luck with that.
