  • D.B. & Ted | August 9, 2026 – We Were Too Tired for This

    For the first time in a while, D.B. and Ted are recording together in the same studio instead of miles apart—and after working two back-to-back events with very little sleep, things quickly go off the rails.

    On this episode:

    • Why getting older makes late nights feel like a full-contact sport.
    • The reality of bouncing back after staying up until 2:00 in the morning.
    • Why midnight movie premieres just aren't worth it anymore.
    • The debate over watching movies at home versus seeing them in the theater.
    • Marvel fans who cheer through the biggest scenes.
    • How one conversation somehow wandered completely off course.
    • The strange world of Venmo payment comments—and why some people probably shouldn't be trusted with them.
    • From aching backs and sleep deprivation to superhero movies, movie theater etiquette, and hilarious Venmo transactions, this episode is exactly what happens when two longtime friends sit down behind the microphones with no script and very little sleep.

      Sometimes the best conversations are the ones that completely lose their way.

      New episodes of D.B. & Ted are released every Sunday.

      D.B. & Sherry are finally back from their honeymoon in Aruba—and they're already trying to figure out how to go back.

      They also tell the full story behind one of the funniest moments of the entire honeymoon: walking through the rain to investigate a mysterious Aruba attraction they thought was called the "Pest Room."

      It wasn't.

      Not even close.

      • The official answer to the honeymoon drawer challenge.
      • Why D.B. took approximately 4,000 showers in Aruba.
      • Champagne, chocolates and being spoiled at the resort.

      • Snorkeling, turtles and a shipwreck.
      • Meeting new friends thousands of miles from home.
      • And why Sherry refuses to eat anything that's still looking at her.
      • Plus, D.B. & Sherry want to know:

        Where did YOU go on your honeymoon?

        Tell them on Facebook—you might just give them an idea for their next trip.

              On this episode:
              • The lengths D.B. went to in hopes of landing his first radio job.

                🎵 Soundtrack of This Chapter

                Every great story has a soundtrack.

                As D.B. shares The Radio Years, he'll also share the songs that instantly take him back to each chapter of his life.

                This Chapter's Song

                No Doubt – "Hella Good"

                This wasn't just another hit song from 2003—it became part of one of the most unforgettable nights of my early radio career.

                During one of our crazy radio stunts, Durr the Intern stood outside while Wild Bill and I blasted him with a garden hose. As soaked as he was, Durr kept singing along to the songs we were playing, and "Hella Good" was one of them.

                That stunt would eventually catch the attention of DJs at a major Philadelphia radio station and become one of the moments that helped open the next door in my career.

                Now, every time I hear "Hella Good," I'm instantly transported back to those early days when it was just D.B., Wild Bill, and Durr the Intern trying to make people laugh and prove we belonged on the radio.

                • Every career has a beginning, and this episode tells the story behind one microphone, one dream, and one decision to keep going even when the opportunities weren't there.

                  This week, D.B. and Ted take a trip down memory lane as they revisit D.B.'s lifelong dream of owning his own arcade and discuss what happens when you finally accomplish a childhood goal.

                  This week, they discuss:

                  • D.B.'s obsession with Arcade1Up machines and the time he literally had an arcade in his home.
                  • The pizza delivery guy who asked if he could come inside and play Mortal Kombat.
                  • Why accomplishing your dream sometimes means realizing you're ready to move on to the next one.
                  • Ted's collection of abandoned hobbies and the concept of "proof of concept."
                  • The legendary "orchestra of chaos" that only arcade lovers can truly appreciate.
                  • Whether Sherry would have married D.B. if she had walked into an apartment filled with arcade machines.
                  • Aruba, honeymoon plans, and Ted's infamous vacation FaceTime calls.
                  • And how an innocent conversation somehow led to the creation of "The Summer of STDs."
                  • From arcade cabinets and WWF championship belts to pizza guys, nostalgia, and ADHD, this episode is a reminder that growing older doesn't mean letting go of your childhood—it just means finding new ways to appreciate it.

                    So grab your favorite drink, pull up a chair, and spend some time with D.B. and Ted as they laugh their way through old memories and prove that some friendships are built one deep cut at a time.

                    "I gave a lot of people STDs this summer."

                  • Episode 028 | D.B. & Sherry: I'm Going on a Honeymoon with My Teacher

                    As you're listening to this episode, D.B. and Sherry have already returned from Aruba—but when they recorded this show, they had no idea what was waiting for them.

                    Would D.B. get attacked by seagulls? Bit by a turtle? Would Sherry insist on unpacking before they even saw the beach? And most importantly...

                    How many drawers would their hotel room have?

                    This week, the husband-and-wife duo discuss:

                    • Their predictions for Aruba before they leave.
                    • The great Uncrustable vs. homemade peanut butter and jelly debate.
                    • Why D.B. believes he's married to his teacher.
                    • Whether Sherry secretly hates kindergartners.
                    • Why Ronald McDonald's money spends just as well as everyone else's.
                    • And the shocking revelation that Sherry doesn't listen to D.B.'s daily podcast.
                    • Filled with laughter, playful teasing, and the kind of conversations only a married couple can have, Episode 028 is another reminder that sometimes the best moments happen when you simply hit "record" and see where the conversation takes you.

                      New episodes of D.B. & Sherry are released every Saturday.

                    • Episode 025 | July 31, 2026 – That's Not an Arcade

                      On this episode, D.B. is feeling nostalgic as another month of summer comes to an end. A conversation with someone who once worked in the arcade industry gets him wondering whether he was born just a little too late—and sends him down memory lane to a time when malls were packed, food courts were destinations, and a handful of quarters could keep you entertained for an afternoon.

                      On this episode:

                      • A listener struggling with being the sibling everyone depends on when an aging parent needs help.
                      • D.B. wonders whether he was born in the wrong era.
                      • The job from the golden age of arcades that he wishes he could have had.
                      • Why going to the mall used to be an event—even when you didn't have any money.
                      • Getting dropped off at the mall for hours with your friends.
                      • The glory days of food courts, anchor stores, and mall arcades.
                      • Why today's malls feel like a shell of what they once were.
                      • And D.B. settles an important debate once and for all: a room full of ticket and prize games is NOT an arcade.
                      • From childhood memories and disappearing summers to Pac-Man, Galaga, mall food courts, and the difference between an arcade and a game room, D.B. takes a trip back to a time when hanging out didn't require Wi-Fi—and entertainment sometimes cost just a quarter.

                        So grab your favorite drink, settle in, and spend a little time with D.B. as he wonders whether some things really were better back then.

                        "Don't tell me you went to the arcade at the mall this weekend. I'll say, 'No, you didn't.'"
