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!

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.

Autism Cure Finally Revealed

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…

The Devil Eats Wahlburgers

Measles season is here, Mike is mad as hell, and someone must be to blame.  Mike brings Producer Paul in to get to the bottom of this outbreak of a disease cured decades ago and to do a Bob Mueller-type deep dive to find out who is to blame.

Speaking of Bob Mueller, we’ll get you up-to-date on the latest in the ongoing saga of interpretation of the special counsel’s report.  On the lighter side of things, its NHL & NBA playoff time. Tune in to hear almost zero worthwhile analysis, but a surprise prediction.

Wisecrackin’ with Winter asks you to stop giggling, get serious for a minute, and consider helping to raise funds for a relatively new, but special friend of the podcast.  Wisecrackin’s special friend could use an assist as she helps her son recuperate from a recent hospitalization. Please click on this GoFundMe page for more details

And then, it’s back to more of the oh-so-mature content you’ve come to know and love, including a look behind the curtain at the father-son dynamic present when the Big G comes home to roost. Enjoy the show!

The Easter Bunny Died For Your Sins

The Easter Bunny Died For Your Sins

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

The Easter Bunny Died For Your Sins

One of the two most important Christian holidays (we think) has come and gone. If you’re like so many Christians and non-Christians alike, you’ve eaten a big meal, spent time with family, maybe even stepped into a house of worship, but one things for sure: you’re confused and silently wondering what it all means, but you’re too embarrassed to speak up. Well, this is the episode for you.

Father Mike will finally clear up all your consternation about the this holy day and its patron rabbit.  Ascension, chocolate rabbits, eggs.  Mike covers it all.

Next, Mike gets a news report of sorts from an out-of-work correspondent named Victoria Herringbone or some such moniker.  And finally, a youngster stops into the Funhouse to school Mike with “what up with that” which is on YouTube and social media.  Oh, and did we mention that the Big G has flown north for the summer?  Of course, he makes a special appearance.

Wisecrackin with Winter episode appreciates your listening and support of all of its sponsors, real and imaginary. Enjoy the show!
