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.

Yanks and Wankers

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!

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

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…

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

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!
