The Cure For Boredom

The votes have been counted, the predictions have been questioned, and hopefully everyone has recovered from Decision 2026! The boys are back to recap our live election night coverage, revisit the results, and offer the kind of expert political analysis you've come to expect from two guys with microphones and opinions.

But that's not all! Steve has another important contribution to make to the world of movie criticism: reviewing movies that Jim already reviewed… several weeks after they've been available to stream. Nothing says breaking entertainment news quite like showing up late to the party and telling everyone what they missed.

We'll catch up on the election, talk movies, cover whatever else has managed to grab our attention, and probably wander off topic more than once.

It's S03E45: Election Night Recap & More—the results are in, the movie reviews are late, and the Cure for Boredom rolls on!

The guest hosts have been reviewed, the loose ends have been tied up, and the boys have completed a little much-needed show housekeeping. Now it's time for the main event: Jim's long-awaited vacation recap!

After a week away, Jim returns with a marathon rundown of his adventures through New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington, D.C. From the sights and sounds of the Big Apple to the history of Philly and our nation's capital, Jim has plenty to report—and apparently, plenty of opinions.

The guys revisit last week's Kevin and Dan takeover, clean up a few items around the show, and then settle in for what may be the longest travel presentation ever attempted on a podcast that was supposed to cure boredom.

Did Jim see everything? Eat everything? Walk enough miles to qualify for a second vacation? And most importantly, was the pizza worth all the hype?

It's S03E44: Jim's Vacation Adventure—three cities, one vacation, and a whole lot of stories Steve probably didn't ask for.

Jim's on vacation. Kevin and Dan have the microphones. And Steve is making sure he gets credit where credit is due.

With Jim off exploring the East Coast, longtime listeners and former guests Kevin and Dan step into the hosting chairs for their first official takeover of The Cure for Boredom. What could possibly go wrong?

The guys cover all their favorite things, from TV and nostalgia to tractors and pretty much anything else that wanders into the conversation. No topic is too random, no tangent is too long, and no one seems particularly interested in keeping things on track.

Steve even checks in to make sure he gets his IMDb credit for showing up. Because apparently, being part of this show isn't enough—now we need to make sure the internet knows about it, too.

Meanwhile, Jim checks in from the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., offering a quick update from his East Coast adventure before we get the full NYC recap next week. He's sightseeing, eating pizza, and leaving the show in the hands of people who may or may not have lost a contest to get here.

TV, tractors, IMDb credits, vacation updates, and two guest hosts who have officially taken over. It's a little bit of everything, a whole lot of randomness, and proof that The Cure for Boredom can survive without Jim… at least for one week.

Tune in for S03E43: Kevin and Dan Takeover—where the hosts are new, the topics are unpredictable, and apparently everyone wants a credit.

Artificial intelligence is getting smarter. Unfortunately, it’s been spending time learning about us.

This week on The Cure for Boredom, Steve puts AI to work answering political texts before making the questionable decision to ask it about our show. The results? Surprisingly interesting, mildly disturbing, and potentially more self-awareness than two guys with microphones should ever be exposed to.

Meanwhile, Jim prepares for his big New York City adventure, presumably hoping the city is ready for him. And Steve picks up a golf club for the first time in six years. Six years! Will he rediscover his swing, or will he spend the afternoon reminding everyone how good he used to be?

We've got AI exposing our questionable legacy, Jim packing for NYC, and Steve returning to a sport that has spent six years enjoying his absence.

The machines are learning. Jim is traveling. Steve is golfing. And somehow, we're still allowed to make a show.

Tune in for another episode of The Cure for Boredom—proof that artificial intelligence may be the future, but artificial intelligence hasn't had to listen to us for 100-plus shows. Yet.

100 SHOWS! WE CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE STILL WATCHING!

We've officially hit the century mark! That's right, The Cure for Boredom is celebrating its 100th show, and naturally, we're marking the occasion the only way we know how: talking about whatever happens to be going on in our world.

This week, we catch up on current happenings, look back at some of our favorite moments from the first 100 shows, and start looking ahead to what's next. With Jim heading to NYC, we discuss plans for upcoming episodes featuring guest hosts who will have the unenviable task of keeping things moving while he's away.

We also squeeze in a little Immaculate Grid action, because apparently celebrating 100 shows means testing what little baseball knowledge we have left.

It's a look back, a look ahead, and another opportunity to prove that 100 episodes haven't made us any more organized, professional, or predictable.

100 shows down. More guests on the way. And somehow, we're just getting started.

Thanks to everyone who's watched, listened, and followed along for the ride. Here's to the next 100 episodes of The Cure for Boredom!

We made it to show #99… and apparently decided the best way to celebrate was to have absolutely no plan whatsoever.

This week, the boys sit down, hit record, and wing it for 90 minutes. No real agenda. No carefully planned segments. No idea where the conversation is going. Just two guys talking, telling stories, chasing random rabbit holes, and somehow managing to fill an hour and a half.

After 99 shows, you’d think we’d have this figured out.

We don't.

But that might be exactly what makes this one of the most Cure for Boredom episodes yet.

99 shows. 90 minutes. Zero plan. Maximum nonsense.

There’s a lot of NEW(S) this week on The Cure for Boredom!

We check out some new clips and movie trailers, catch up on Jim’s New York trip, and take a look at some of the latest happenings in our world. We also discuss new replacement hosts, new trucks, and plenty of other new stuff that somehow turns into the usual collection of stories, opinions, and random detours.

New trailers. New clips. New York. New hosts. New trucks.

Basically, if it’s new, we’re probably talking about it. Another week of The Cure for Boredom.

This week, the boys tackle one of the most dangerous debates in comedy: who belongs on the Top 10 list of stand-up comedians of all time?

We debate the legends, make some tough choices, defend our favorites, and inevitably question each other's picks. Who makes the list? Who gets left out? And which comedian is going to cause the biggest argument?

Steve also recaps his award-winning LEGO excursion to Seattle, including the trip, the convention, and his experience bringing home some hardware.

Comedy legends, LEGO, Seattle, and a couple of guys who are definitely qualified to rank comedians.

No experts. No analysts. Just two guys with opinions—one of which is apparently, an award-winning LEGO guy.

Dan is back in the studio—and this time, he’s bringing a little mystery with him.

The boys crack open a Clink Room Mystery Hat Box and find out what’s hiding inside. Will we get a hat that’s an instant classic, a completely bizarre design, or something nobody saw coming?

As always, the unboxing turns into plenty of opinions, laughs, questionable decisions, and the usual Cure for Boredom conversation.

Dan is back. The box is a mystery. The hat choices are questionable.

Another week of The Cure for Boredom.

After years of questionable evidence, questionable segments, and some serious doubts from the boys, Steve finally has medical proof that he actually has a heart. It turns out there really is something beating in there after all.With the baseball season coming to an end, we look back on the final stretch of the year and get an update on the truck. Then, because apparently we have nothing better to do, the boys turn their attention to Jim's medical issues and attempt their own completely unqualified diagnosis.And finally, we start getting into the details of Jim's upcoming New York adventure, including a look at his itinerary as it continues to take shape.A heart. A truck. Questionable medical advice. New York plans.Just another week in the life of The Cure for Boredom.Feedback or show requests?
