  • "Gen-Z, TMZ, The Lottery and Buttons RANTS"

    In this no-holds-barred episode of The World According to Dick Buttons, Dick takes aim at everything from the absurdity of Gen-Z’s “micro-cheating” trend to the lost art of loading a dishwasher without starting WWIII.

    Strap in as Dick barrels through a traffic jam of rants:

    • Rush hour roadwork that feels like psychological warfare

    • Food delivery services with the accuracy of a drunk dart thrower

    • Door-to-door political solicitors who won’t take “HELL NO” for an answer

    • The mysterious science of delivery windows that never deliver

    • The all-time Top 5 Cartoons—you’ll agree, disagree, and yell at your phone

    • TMZ, or as Dick calls it, “America’s Guiltiest Pleasure”

    • VINCENZO IS BACK - a surprisingly heartfelt (but mostly skeptical) look at what really happens when you win the lottery

    Plus: A nostalgic detour to The WABC 4:30 Movie, and a PSA on distracted driving (from someone who’s been cut off one too many times).

    It’s angry. It’s hilarious. It’s everything you didn’t know you needed—straight from the slightly unhinged mind of Dick Buttons.
