The SmorgShow Podcast (Smorgasbord Radio)

Pardon our dust - we are migrating to a new hosting platform and are working out a few bugs.

It's time for Chris' annual physical so we decided to dig deep into the archives to create yet another 'SmorgShow Rewind' episode.

One thing has become clear about getting into your 50's. Whenever guys get together, they don't let an opportunity go to waste for discussing their health issues.

Sit back and enjoy listening to the SmorgShow gang's medical war stories about emergency doctor visits, colonoscopy appointments, cholesterol readings, and the general aches and pains that come with getting older.

In this 'SmorgShow Rewind' episode, we go back into our show archives to unearth a series of Baba Gonesh man-on-the-street news stories involving India's culture of death.

We look back on the string of suicides throughout India involving ceiling fans, and other bizarre stories concerning strange deaths, suicides, or "flirtations" with death.

Also, as referenced in one of these clips, the trend of 'Train Surfing' was captured by a passenger in this video.

After 9 months, Chris decides to publish his "Father of the Bride" speech from September 2021.

On this retrospective episode, we listen to Chris and Dave discuss how to give a proper Father of the Bride speech.

Finally, we dig up an old Baba Gonesh recording where he shares a very touching moment he experienced as a new father to his firstborn, Ganesh.

Monkeypox - What you need to know to survive the latest attack. From the virus? No, from the "Powers That Be".

The World Health Organization (WHO) and World Economic Forum (WEF) meet in Switzerland to plot their next move.

Chief Conspiracy Correspondent (CCC) Jerome Malauskas returns to the SmorgShow lounge to discuss the latest fear porn of Monkeypox.

We then continue with our monkey theme with some lighter material. We dig deep into the SmorgShow archives to search for the wisdom of Baba Gonesh and all his news stories and words of inspiration regarding monkeys, including the classic news story of "India's Monkey Man"

On this 'Classic Rewind' episode, we compile the complete collection of our 'Get a Life' game show series.

This game originally debuted in 1984 and became a favorite staple on the Chris and Dave Smorgasbord radio show. With the 2010 relaunch of the SmorgShow Podcast we decided to dust off the old concept and feature it on our podcast series.

'Get a Life' is where we take one pathetic caller who has a miserable life and give them the opportunity to swap their life for something more epic!

In this episode, we present all 10 installments as well as play a couple of original Get a Life segments from the original Chris and Dave radio show.

As we approach the 40-year anniversary of the Smorgasbord Radio show, we will occasionally dig deep into our vast programming archives and present them again for our listeners' enjoyment.

This week, we go back across many early episodes from 2010 to pull together a string of clips showcasing the launch and journey of Baba Gonesh's Indian restaurant, Baba's Village. It was not a smooth ride for our dear friend as you will remember. Soon thereafter, many 1-star reviews were posted on the internet by customers, which we read in full detail on Episode 22. However, Baba quickly recovered from the negative publicity by implementing new operational procedures and a few staff shakeups. But it wasn't long thereafter when the SmorgShow Hotline received a cease and desist warning from the owner of a nearby restaurant of the same name. The owner thought that we were slandering his restaurant by reading the poor reviews. Given the similarity in name, to this day we will never know whose bad reviews it was! To avoid a lawsuit, Baba ultimately relaunched his eating establishment under the new name of 'The Hidden Palace: A Taste of Baba'.

It was off to the races at this point - Baba's restaurant recovered nicely and became very successful - until six months later when his establishment became victim to a terrorist attack! Baba's reactions to all of these setbacks are on full display.

What is great about this episode is that we pull the entire story together that transpired over many weeks into a single episode, so now it reads like an epic play!

We break away from our usual program format on this special episode.

For those new to our podcast, we have something special lined up for you. This is taken from our archives, exactly 10 years ago when Chris and Ally honored the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic.

Now, 110 years after that fateful day, we are 're-airing' the content from episode 74.

Sit back and close your eyes and imagine what it was like to be on the "unsinkable", when 1500 souls were lost on April 15, 1912.

Jerome Malauskas co-hosts this episode with Chris

As Chris begins thinking about retiring to Texas in the not-too-distant future, he starts throwing away boxes of memories from his crawlspace. Chris finds an old playbill of a play that Jerry performed in back in the late 1980's. We discuss Jerry's thespian days.
