Birthday Supershow in the Funhouse

Mike’s daughter Emma is turning 14 day. So, it’s a super special birthday supershow. Emma gets to co-host and talk to all the regular Wisecrackin contributors.

Emma takes a call from Producer Paul to discuss all the current events the middle schoolers are trying to stay up to date on, like the wildfires in Australia, Democratic presidential contenders, and American foreign policy.

How about some Big G, aka Grandpa? Yep, he’s checking in from the great republic of Texas.

Victoria Herringbone reporting on… the news? Yep, Emma brings you that too, and then explains how the kids are “dating” these days.  And Mike quizzes Emma to see if he has what it takes to start a new career as a driver’s ed instructor and/or a game show host. Enjoy!

New Year’s Eve Live from the Super 8

This is the special episode you may or may not have been waiting for all year! Mike takes his equipment out on location to say goodbye to a great 2019 and ring in 2020. His first guest is Artist Steve who talks about his adventures in pre-9/11 New York City, being ahead of the trend on committing to a cruelty-free diet, and attending the Disco Demolition Night at old Comiskey Park.

Next up is an unidentified photographer who schools Mike on the need for taking good selfies and answers Mike’s sex ed questions.

The Big G’s secret admirer wanders in, but the exciting part for Mike is the discussion of what it’s like to live “the lifestyle”. Producer Paul gets the honor of following up that act with NFL wildcard weekend playoff picks. Find out whether he or Mike has the lighter wallet today.

Victoria Herringbone rounds thing outs with a recap of all the top stories of the entire decade. Stay tuned to see if your host can make it to midnight. Oh, and Kenny Loggins stops by to give Mike a bump into the new year.  Enjoy!

Potpourri of Poo

It’s a special midweek edition of Wisecrakin! Mike catches Producer Paul on his way home from the bowling alley and next thing you know, it’s a show.  As the title suggests, Mike & Paul discuss a veritable variety of crap. Bowling, Impeachment, Oprah’s favorite things, NFL Week 15 picks.

It’s a fantastic way to spend an hour of your valuable time. Trust us. Would we lie to you? We’re not the President of the United States or his congressional lap dogs.  But really, there’s not that much political talk.

It’s a Beautiful Day in the Funhouse

Ace correspondent Victoria Herringbone returns to the Funhouse to talk to Mike about Thanksgiving traditions. And, of course, that means a wrap of all the Black Friday scraps at the ol’ local shoppin’ malls. Later, she tries her hand at the weekly NFL picks segment. Can she best young Emma, who last week successfully picked the Miami Dolphins to take down the filthy Philadelphia Eagles?

Mike then pulls out that old Hotline to Heaven and takes a call from none other than The Fred Rogers. You’d think he’d busy doing other interviews, but he finds time to chat it up with Mike & Victoria. So much soothing wisdom. I’m just too relaxed to feel the pressure to write up more about this. So, relax and enjoy!

What Up With That? / Where’s My Truck?

Teen Emma joins Mike in the Funhouse for another installment of What Up With That? What the kids are doing on the internet, what is hot on the Billboard Top 20, and lots of whatnot.  Emma fills in for the Big G providing winning picks for the upcoming Week 13 NFL slate.

Mike then takes to the official Wisecrackin yankety-crankety prank telephone trying to find out the location of a secret “travel event” so he can win a Walmart gift card, a toaster and/or a new truck. These people must really want to sell him a timeshare or something. Or perhaps they are more interested in joining Mike’s club? Give it a listen.

New Wisecrakin' - Las Vegas Trip N Paul Moves to Gilead

NFL Week 11 Picks and How to Pick Up a Girl

It’s Wisecrackin’s possibly annual Salute to Service.  And what is more of a salute to service than talking American football?

Yep, listen to the Big G’s picks and head to the sports book before the lines all move accordingly.

Next, ol pal Woody delivers a dating tip for the mid-40s singles scene.

Mike delves into internet etiquette by discussing the goings-0n of job seekers on Linked-In, and talks about all kinds of things you should or shouldn’t do. Admit it: you need someone to tell you what’s what.  And of course, Mike is more than willing to tell ya. But, he follows it up by telling you how darned good you are! And then… so much more helpful advice for you. Enjoy!

The Highs and Lows of Paul’s Trip to Denver

The Highs and Lows of Paul’s Trip to Denver

New Wisecrakin' - Las Vegas Trip N Paul Moves to Gilead

The Highs and Lows of Paul’s Trip to Denver

Mike had lined up for the show another great guest, who shall remain unnamed, at least for the moment.  But a very last-minute cancelation by said guest catapulted Producer Paul into the hotseat of the virtual Wisecrackin funhouse studio. Paul took a brief trip to the Rocky Mountain State recently, and Mike grills him (me?) on what’s new out west, namely legal recreational marijuana. We talk about other things in Denver too. At least, I think we do. I’ve been having memory problems of recent. Anyway, you know want to hear about, all you so-called “red” and “purple” state residents, who still are prohibited from doing fun stuff.

You get a whole hour of Mike and Producer Paul. I think that’s me, man.  Some will love it. Some will ask when/if the monotone answers will ever end. But you know you want it.  So, come get it!

We’ll also talk about the Joker movie. Was I too hard on it? I can’t remember, man. NFL Week 9 results discussion and whatnot, and bonus commentary from “yours truly”, Orenthal James Simpson. If you don’t know why the “yours truly” is in quotation marks, then you need to pay attention. The Juice is definitely loose on the internet.  Great stuff as always. Enjoy!

Scary Halloween Stories and Costume Advice

Scary Halloween Stories and Costume Advice

New Wisecrakin' - Las Vegas Trip N Paul Moves to Gilead

Scary Halloween Stories and Costume Advice

A very special holiday edition of Wisecrackin With Winter. That is, if you actually consider this pagan celebration to be a true holiday. Anyway, Mike recites spooky stories to the audience. Where does he get them? From an old dusty story book left behind in the attic by the creepy next door neighbor? Written on the walls of a truck stop bathroom stall? From the weathered pages of the Big G’s diary? We may never know, but we must listen.

Then, Victoria Herringbone slides back into the Funhouse to discuss costume dos and don’ts.  But, if you’re old enough to listen to this podcast, you really oughta know that costumes are for children. So, unless you’re not going to grow up and act like an adult, you can ignore this whole segment.  Or listen to it, we don’t really care what you do. You’re old enough to make your own decisions.

But really, you have to listen. There’s good parenting advice and stuff from Mike & Victoria as they delve beyond the humdrum news of the day to find you those hard-to-find human interest stories, and relate them to Mike’s childhood. Will they find the solution to the supposedly spiraling out of control crime epidemic inflicting itself upon downtown Minneapolis? I don’t know. Will they eventually give you advice on costumes? I don’t know that either. I can’t stay awake long enough to listen to the whole show. Just listen for me, and then send us an e-mail or hit us up on the Twitters to let me know. Thanks kids.

Big G “Live” from the Basement

Big G “Live” From The Basement

New Wisecrakin' - Las Vegas Trip N Paul Moves to Gilead

Big G “Live” from the Basement

Here it is folks. The one you’ve been waiting for. Some have been waiting two days since seeing the trailer posted on Facebook. Others have been waiting two months since the super mega Rock Fest 2019 episode. Some have been waiting their whole lives to get a chance to hear 45 minutes of the Big G talking the talk. No Producer Paul. No Richie Barrister. No Victoria Herringbone. Just Mike and the Big G mano a mano for a whopping three-quarters of an hour. Just kidding, it’s only 20 minutes of Big G.  Disappointment for some; relief for others.

The G does tell you exactly what’s wrong with his and Mike’s beloved Minnesota Twins, just in time for tonight’s big Game 3 ALDS matchup with the dreaded Yankees. Yes, there’ll be more sports, sports, sports, but they’ll mix in commentary on immigration, fictional island countries, and the joys of gelatin molds. Mike one ups the Democratic Party leaders by narrowing the number of presidential candidates down to seven.

Next up: it’s time for another installment of What Up With That? It can be tough for guys (and even gals) in their forties to keep up with the latest trends.  Fortunately, Mike’s got a groovy, hip, happenin’ cool cat teenage girl to school him on all the latest apps, fashion, current pop music, etc. A good learnin’ experience for anyone over the age of 30.  Enjoy! And e-mail the show with your feedback and suggestions. Better yet, look for @ getwisecrakin on the Twitters, Wisecrackin With Winter on the Book of Faces, because e-mail is so 2013.
