Richie is on Lockdown

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.

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!

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.

Mickey Mouse Uncensored

Mike and Political Paul take the show on the road to the vast magical kingdom built in the middle of a central Florida swamp.  Mike lands a big interview with the complex’s resident rodent, Mickey, who surprisingly caters his comments to the highly prurient interests of the Wisecrackin With Winter audience.  Promotional consideration not paid for by the Walt Disney Corporation, but shouldn’t it have been?  Listeners will definitely be making their travel plans after sensing the excitement in the voices of your host and co-host.

Guess what kids?  O.J. Simpson is on Twitter!  This is comedy gold, and this episode contains the first of what will hopefully be many, many comical readings and re-playings of the Juice’s commentary on how the world has wronged him.

Hitting the major news issues of the day as you’ve come to expect, Mike & Paul break down the President’s wacky comments to that little wiseguy George Stephanopolous.

Finally, an exhaustive (or exhausting) discussion of current offerings on the small screen.  And only one quick hitter from the Big G. Listen closely or you’ll miss it.

Autism Cure Finally Revealed

Following up on his recent discussion about anti-vaxxers, Mike invites ace correspondent Victoria Herringbone back into the Funhouse to unveil the secret fix for autism.  Although we all know that if it’s on the internet, it must be true, Victoria tries to warn Mike about some of the ills of social media.  Maybe they’ll figure out who wins on Facebook.

Stay tuned to hear Mike pull off a prank call that would make the Jerky Boys proud.

After insulting listeners in a dozen states, Mike’s charitable act of the week is to suggest that you support the Ronald McDonald House in your community. Please click here to find out more or to support the Ronald McDonald House

Finally, it’s been a few years since the untimely death of the artist in purple, so it’s time to revisit the grief and heartbreak of the Big G over the loss of one of Minneapolis’s favorite sons. And…
