You Can't Make It Up

Xmas excess… If they ever remake National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, Mike Babick’s house is a lock. We take you to Prairie Village, Kansas for Day 2 of our 12 Daze of Dumb. (Rusty, get in the car!) Holiday tunes include “All I Need” by JJ Maestas and Scotte Burns’ Colorado-based acoustic rock band Ironwood Rain, and “Here Comes Christmas” by Iowa’s […]

12 Days of Christmas – Day 1… Trust us, we’re just as frazzled as you trump x-(. Oh, and holiday shopping is no picnic either. Laughter helps and the oldies are always the goodies. Rewind “12 Days of Dumb.” Enjoy! Stop shopping! Parents with young daughters? We found three toys destined to set womens’ rights […]

You can’t hide it We missed you too. Also, the freedom to work when we want loses its charm when the tips suck. Buh-bye, Lyft! Anything happen while we were gone?

Single file exodus, please Another presidential election and our choices are primal.  Fight or flee.  We refuse to panic and advise same- though this might be a good time to text everyone you love and tell them so. Canada would seem an ideal place to relocate. Word of caution? Do not admit you heard this […]

Dying To Get In Happy International Podcast Day. We had planned to send you a nice card but Hallmark was sold out. Please listen for an exclusive medical marijuana offer instead. If you’ve been wondering whether Ken and I had expired, that happens to be our theme this week. Turns out those who hand out Darwin Awards keep an At Risk watch list. […]

Keep the streak alive Not much has changed since 1776. Fellow humans, take pride. We own stupid. Americans have it down cold. As long as the uptight upright breathe dumb crap will prevail. Wendy Northcutt counts on it. This podcast would cease to exist (we heard that!). So keep it up America. History and tradition demand you stay stupid. Also, 2Kens in the […]

300 shows without breaking a sweat If anyone had suggested in Dec. 2008 that we’d get this far … ? Good thing work’s its own reward. That’s the thing about podcasting. Day job’s required. As milestones go 300 is nice. In baseball 300 puts hitters and pitchers in the Hall of Fame. But we’re in the business of Schadenfreude. Soo satisfying 

Granny’s Got Game In  the end, most find religion. Carmen Bustamante Barangó prefers the topless blender of emojis watching over her. This week we travel to Spain for a death bed curse straight out of The Godfather. Without casting family judgments we recommend not opening your Nana’s cedar chest after she’s gone. Ed: wouldn’t it be a hoot if this […]

Keeper of collective intelligence or … Google is many things but caretaker of higher intellect ain’t one of ’em. The only real problem we find with this survey is many of these idiots legally can vote. Luckily for the rest of us, most are likely too dumb to find the ballot box. Montanans have the right idea, but […]

At yeast the holes are free London’s newest tourist attraction is a late night talk host’s monologue wet dream. And the coppers? A Krispy Kreme donut machine that vends greasy, gooey gobs of sugar dough is a ready made stakeout.
