People We Could Live Without

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.

In this episode of People We Could Live Without, Big Rick sits down with NYC comedian and fellow Skankfest survivor Danny Hallinan. We swap stories about working security at the wildest comedy festival in the country, tally up how many Grand Slamwiches Danny crushed in a 3-day food rampage, and dive into the chaos that is The Heart Attack Grill—where if you weigh over 350 lbs, your meal’s on the house (and maybe your soul too). We also break down the Blazin’ Rewards points hustle at Buffalo Wild Wings and ask the real question: who’s got the most wings-to-points ratio?

This week on People We Could Live Without, Big Rick is joined by the incredibly talented Cadhla Mackenzie Salcedo—a dancer, poet, singer, cook, and full-blown jack of all trades. We dive into the heartfelt (and maybe a little unhinged) letter my friend Doc Horton wrote her, which I personally delivered on my NYC trip. We also get into the Diddy trial, Cadhla gives us an education on what exactly a Sex Chandelier is, and we trade Sugar Daddy stories that are equal parts chaotic and enlightening. It's a wild ride—don’t miss it

In this episode of People We Could Live Without, Big Rick Pacioreck sits down with friend and fellow comic John “Hoss” James. The two gear up for their upcoming Roast Battle, talk trash like pros, and take a detour into the world of Pokémon crime—specifically how Team Rocket continues to pull off kidnappings via hot air balloon without ever getting caught. They also touch on this summer’s Philly’s Phunniest competition and trade some heated words about the long-standing bowling beef between Loyal Lanes and Pike Lanes in Cumberland County. It’s comedy, chaos, and a couple of strikes—depending on who you ask.

This week on People We Could Live Without, Big Rick Paciorek is joined by none other than Dru Montana—1/3 of the powerhouse Philly comedy podcast The Durag and The Deertag. Hailing from Syracuse, NY and proudly repping his "wigga of the woods" roots, Dru pulls up to talk about neighborhood dynamics, the sounds that live rent-free on our soundboards, and how they're mentally bracing to lose Philly’s Phunniest. Rick shares stories from last week’s Drunk & Stoned Comedy Fest in Ocean City, MD, and both boys reflect on their deep, undying love for The Jerky Boys. It’s comedy, chaos, and cousin energy—don’t miss it.

On this episode of People We Could Live Without, Big Rick Paciorek is joined by guest Ray Koba, while podcast favorite Steve Kain fills in for Teddy Lindross.
