Richie is on Lockdown

America’s favorite American Barrister, Richie Barrister is back. Back from dancing to Mambo #5 in Mexico, to avoiding the Mambo #5 virus here in the States.  Mike pries as deeply into Richie’s personal life as possible. Listen to see how far that goes. Co-host Victoria Herringbone quizzes the fellas about some really common FAQs about the Mambo #5 virus.

They talk about a lot of other things. Trust me, it’s mostly funny. Do I have to describe it for you? Fine. Supply chain questions, feeding wildlife, Goodbye Kenny Rogers, etc.  Mike has sworn off political talk since “Ol Sleepy Joe” surged to a presumed commanding lead over “Crazy Bernie” in the delegate race, but yep, there’s a little political chat anyway.

Bernie is Not as Bad as the Coronavirus

Is this the one you’ve been waiting for? Admit it, you’ve been up and down your dial trying to find the real facts about the ol’ coronavirus outbreak, but you just haven’t been able to find any information you can trust. Well, have we got the facts for you?! We’ve got your facts, your alternative facts, and even some new rumors about the new affliction that is taking the world by storm.

Which Democrat will win the great pleasure of getting to take on Donald J. Trump in the fall? After Super Duper Tuesday, it’s down to just Bernie Sanders, who scares Americans because he wants to change things, and Joe Biden, who worries Americans because he might not remember his own name by November. At least we can all rest assured knowing that Trump & Pence will keep us safe from the Mambo #5, err Covid 19 disease through the rest of the year.

Speaking of Bernie Sanders, what would happen if he wins and declares “Medicare For All” on Day One of his presidency? What’s the difference between Medicare and Medicaid? Does anyone know? Does anyone care? Wouldn’t you rather hear us discuss the new proposal to expand the NFL season and the number of playoff games? How about hearing whether or not to watch the top shows/movies on the ol Netflix? Don’t tune out then. It’s all right here. Thanks for listening.

This is definitely the one you’ve been waiting for, because, well, it’s been a few weeks.  We had to work really hard to put together a program that could successfully follow the smash hit that was Mike’s interview with Ireland’s favorite immigrant Larry Barrister.  And boy did we ever?!

It’s three of your favorite podcast participants, Mike, Producer Paul, & Veronica Herringbone, all live in the studio. And speaking of programs, we discuss anything and everything on TV nowadays.  Favorite shows. Least favorite shows. Comedies. Dramas. Shows that are supposed to be funny, but just aren’t. We discuss ’em all. What you should be watching, and what you shouldn’t waste your time on.  And somehow, a brief political discussion breaks out in the middle. But mostly, it’s just good ol’ TV talk, and it’s must listen media!

That jammy bastard Mike is back, and this week he’s running up the Big G’s long distance phone bill with a call across the pond to jolly ol Ireland. Mike seeks a pot o gold, or at least some Lucky Charms, but instead he gets a lesson in deep frying corn dogs. Say what?!? That’s right. This is a very special episode folks. No boring political jibber jabber (well, except for a wee bit o Brexit talk). You know you need a break from that. So settle on in, get yourself cozy, and tune your ears in for a one-on-one with Larry Barrister, Dublin’s favorite Murrican ex-pat.

You might remember Richie Barrister, formerly a frequent contributor to Wisecrakin With Winter. Well, Richie’s been unable to make it into the Funhouse lately, but instead we’ve got his fabulous brother Larry, aka the Cranky Yankee. He shares his success story of traveling across the ocean to open a food truck.

Mike learns what’s what over on ye ol Emerald Isle. What’s the deal with Ireland and Northern Ireland? Does the Queen just rule them all? But mostly, Mike & Larry discuss fun vocabulary and cultural differences.  Oh, and even the Irish like to talk about Donald Trump, so there is some political chat after all. But mostly, that gobshite Mike learns about Irish slang terms and such. It’s a great time for all. Enjoy!

SB LIV Recap & Why is Iowa Sooo Dang Important?

Mike dials up Producer Paul in Indianapolis to see how he’s coming with setting up his new recording equipment. They discuss the Chiefs big comeback in the big game, and Mike finds out if Paul’s online sports betting luck has turned for the better.

As important as the football talk is the breakdown of the halftime show and the performers’ pretty outfits. Was it too risque? Was it empowering for women? Did they look like prostitutes? Did J-Lo defy physics by managing not to expose herself?

You want to hear all about the latest on the impeachment proceedings? Tune in to CNN. Instead, Mike & Paul discuss the Iowa caucus, and why it gets to be so influential by being the first nominating contest. A heated back and forth on why it should or shouldn’t get to keep its role of outsized importance.

Name That Hospital Bill Amount

What a show! Mike channels his inner Wink Woolery as he hosts contestants Emma and Producer Paul for America’s favorite new in-podcast game show where they guess the amounts of different line items for a three-day hospitalization. No matter all the arguments we might have, every American can agree that health care in America is about the best bargain on the planet.

The gang discusses their memories of the late Kobe Bryant and brings you useless speculation about why the helicopter he, his daughter, and seven others were aboard crashed in the hills of SoCal. Emma lightens things up by giving us more schooling on the latest social media apps, ouija boards, and awesome videos on YouTube.

Hey, it’s the big football match this Sunday, the name of which nobody but official sponsors are allowed to speak. Who’s going to win? The club from western Missouri, or the squad from the southern San Francisco Bay area? Find out who the Big G is pickin! And, find out how Paul’s been doing with Indiana’s recently legalized mobile sports betting.

Have a Coke and a Smile

Freewheelin’ and freestylin’ on Wisecrackin’. Mike and Veronica riff away on this, that, and the other. Mike plugs a few podcasts that you may or may not enjoy. Mike and Veronica play “Never Have I Ever”.

But whatever you do, stay tuned for Veronica paying off a bet by doing a whole line or something of Coke.  For some reason, she claims both to have not done it in years and that she doesn’t even enjoy it.

Be sure to follow Wisecrakin With Winter on the Facebook, and then remember to stare at your phone like all day, and next time maybe you can watch a live stream of the show being recorded. And, if you’re really lucky, you could get a shout out on the show, don’t you know! And as Mike promised, this show is being posted on Tuesday (at least west of Indiana, that is).

Special thanks to Veruca Salt for playing us out of the show. You gals have still got it!

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!
