Episode 44 of People We Could Live Without is a full-blown Atlanta sleepover episode.

Recorded at Dominick Curry & Tyler Garrison’s place (not the club!) after a long week of shows at Helium Comedy Club, this one is pure road chaos. The boys let Rick crash at their apartment for the entire run of the Shawn Gardini shows, and things got irresponsible fast.

We’re talking 6AM nights playing WWE 2K24, crushing takeout, sleeping four hours, then waking up and doing it all over again like we’re training for the Comedy Olympics.

They also took Rick out to experience the Atlanta comedy scene. Local mics, different vibes from the Philly scene, and what it’s like being both employees at the club and comics trying to climb it.

Three comedians. One couch. No supervision. Just yapping.

Episode 43 of People We Could Live Without is a road dog special.

This week we’ve got Shawn Gardini (of Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast and Dad Meat fame) alongside Minneapolis’s own Aidan McCluskey in the studio. Rick just got back from hosting for Shawn all weekend at Helium Comedy Club, and we break down life on the road, southern crowds, green room politics, and what it’s like trying to keep it together while opening for a certified killer.

We get into the Atlanta run, what you learn hosting for someone sharper than you, Aidan repping the Minneapolis scene, and the usual chaos that somehow turns into a podcast. There’s travel stories, ego checks, and some real behind-the-scenes talk about how comedy club weekends actually go down.

Episode 42 of People We Could Live Without features the return of old friend and former producer Teddy Lindross. After six months apart, we catch up on everything that’s happened since his last appearance—life changes, comedy, behind-the-scenes podcast chaos, and all the stuff you can only talk about once enough time has passed.

It’s a laid-back, inside-baseball conversation full of reminiscing, missed time, and classic Teddy moments as we reconnect and fill in the gaps from the past six months.

This week on People We Could Live Without, Rick is joined by comedians Gaby Laracca and David Burrows. We immediately tear into the absolutely insane pizza order Gaby made and question every decision that led her there. From there, we talk our favorite (and least favorite) open mics around the Philly comedy scene, what spots are worth showing up for, and which ones might ruin your night.

We also attempt to crack one of South Jersey’s greatest unsolved mysteries: the Patco train station pooper. Who is it? Why are they doing this? And will justice ever be served? Probably not, but we try anyway.

Pure nonsense, Philly comedy talk, and criminal investigation at its finest.

In Episode 40 of People We Could Live Without, Rick sits down with comedian, author, friend and fellow throat goat Mike Rainey — known from the podcasts “Dad Meat,” “Lil Stinkers,” and “Get In Some Head.”

We get into Mike’s comedy origin story, from his early days at the Laugh Factory to making the big move to Austin. He talks about the grind, the growth, the scene, and what it’s like rebuilding life and comedy deep in the heart of Texas. A funny, honest, and wide-open conversation with one of my favorite fat gay retards.

In Episode 39 of People We Could Live Without, Rick is joined by fellow Philly comic Meredith Styer to break down her solo Skankfest adventure — a journey filled with chaos, characters, and the kind of moments that only happen when you let Meredith roam unsupervised in New Orleans.

We get into her entire experience at the festival, plus how she became Rick’s unofficial tour guide, hurricane dealer, and inebriated historian. From bar-hopping to back-alley history lessons, Meredith dragged Rick across the great city of New Orleans while providing equal parts information, misinformation, and alcohol.

A fun one. A messy one. A very New Orleans one.

In Episode 38 of People We Could Live Without, Rick sits down with returning degenerates John “Big Hoss” James and Danny Hallinan to break down SKANKFEST, the biggest comedy festival in the country run by the Legion of Skanks crew.

From the moment we got into town to the barely-functioning Monday morning exit, we run through everything we did, everything we saw, and everything our brains are still trying to process. Comics, chaos, afterparties, strange characters, and the kind of moments that can only happen at SKANKFEST — it’s all here.

Big Rick’s getting ready for Skankfest and—believe it or not—he actually went on a hike. New producer Boog (a freshly minted 16-year-old) talks about getting his license and taking his first terrifying laps behind the wheel.

After a little break, I’m back and a lot has changed.

In this episode, I catch you up on what’s been going on these past few months, including my move down South and what life’s been like adjusting to a new city. I also introduce my new producer and little brother, Boog, who’s helping take the show to the next level. Plus, I talk about doing a spot for comedy legend Dave Attell and my boy Nate Marshall at Atlanta Helium this past weekend what that experience was like, and what’s next.

It’s a fresh start, some behind-the-scenes stories, and a reminder that sometimes stepping away is exactly what you need.

In Episode 26 ofThe People We Could Live Without podcast, host Ricky Pacioreck sits down with Jersey native and comedian Matt Liam for a wild ride through history, comedy, and some seriously questionable food choices. The guys start by taking a deep dive into the chaos of World War I, but things quickly take a turn as they shift gears to the gritty Philly comedy scene, sharing stories, laughs, and maybe a few too many inside jokes. But the real treat? Ricky surprises Matt with a feast of Amish food, forcing him to test the limits of his taste buds—and his will to live.
