It was only natural that the guys talked about puzzles, given the way their conversations tend to go up, down and sideways more often than not.

Are right-handed people privileged? Andy seems to think so.

Ben’s a millennial! But somehow he’s not feeling so sanguine about that generation.

Tom’s tired of good sportsmanship! We think Tim agrees.

How does this all tie in together? Like a puzzle, of course!

This week the gang goes deep into the changing perceptions of what it means to be be a comedian. What’s different today, and how did people’s ideas of who’s likely to be called a comedian change?

Nary a podcast goes by when we don’t learn something new about Ben Kissel’s life. Let’s just say he manages to bring the “tombs” to life. Neat trick!

What really defines a beard? Tom’s got his own ideas.

Shocking discovery: Alcohol has calories! Should you care?

Outing bad behavior by social media? Thumbs down!

All that and more on this week’s Red Eye podcast.

Today we learn of Ben’s childhood coiffure and more tales of his amazing grandmother.

If you own a hotel, better glue down all the room accoutrements when Tom’s checking in.

Speaking of hotels, do the boys unpack their suitcases and stow their clothes when lodging? Smart travelers want to know!

And lastly, we thought we’d get through the podcast without having to learn the alternative definition of cropdusting, but alas, it wasn’t to be.

Oh, it’s the typical weekly stream of consciousness exercise known as the Red Eye Podcast.

And the boys don’t disappoint. Topics include beards, LA, laundromats, buttons, Big Buck Hunter, Steven Seagal…you get the drift.

Rube Goldberg would be proud of the path this conversation took!

All about joining subscription clubs, and Ben tries to start a movement to have all characters remove their masks in public. Do we really want to kid’s fantasies everywhere?

The boys are back after the long holiday weekend.

On the podcast docket: it’s the day and not the date, warm tequila, silly fireworks, the effect of gravity on granny pants, and South Dakota’s just not south enough.

Tom was late (again!) for the podcast. Oops – we mean he was there all along, but just quiet for the first five – er – six minutes. Yeah, that’s it!

We learn of Tom’s dental experiences of late, and how much “caine” it took to squelch his pain.

Ben weighs in with the latest on his modeling career, and the lengths he went to in high school to avoid having to play football. Could it all have been a giant ruse?

Speaking of ruses, what about that Tom Whatshisname and Taylor Swift?

And should men avoid intimacy with women before an athletic competition?

All of this and more on this edition of the Red Eye Podcast.

The boys watch Tom Shillue’s Barbershop Quartet, Scollay Square,  at the Clash of the Barbershop Titans held at Joe’s Pub.

Tom’s shop talk with his wife sort of portrays Tim as the voice of doom.

 

When Kmart calls for Ben to come to a big and tall model shoot. His pre-audition regimen will shock and amaze you! And, when you find a near empty subway car and think you jackpot. There is a reason it’s almost empty. Find out why…

Tim’s Penguins win another game in the Stanley Cup Finals devolves into fantasy sports talk and our new fantasy podcast game. JUST LISTEN!

You’re not even going to read this description. Just hit play.

But, just in case you do read this:

  • Tom’s showbiz guerilla tactics
  • Rooming with Harpo Marx
  • The Dichotomy of Captain America
  • And, nerd and geek culture appropriation

Tom, Andy and Ben discuss the Mets, Cubs, Chicago airport, barbershop quartets and the disgusting prank that is Malort!

 

Sleep. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Consider yourself lucky if you make it on to Andy’s comedy playlist. He’s falling asleep to you. In a good way. It’s an honor! No, seriously.

Plus, many more fun and exciting things. Like Prada bow ties… exciting and expensive.

Dating a millennial with no punctuation as threaded through a bad movie, the end of humanity, and meeting ladies roller skating. Life is just one big run-on sentence.

  • Does whiskey cure a bad movie? For example, “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”.
  • There is a planet in the solar system is about swing by and cause a bad meteor shower. So long folks!
  • Who gets in the VIP bunker if the world ends?
  • And, a special Panel Toss-Up with special sound effects. Like only radio can do.
    Which is douchey-er: Hover Board or Google Glass?
  • Tom reminisces about the days of meeting girls while roller skating.
