    Interviews! Scheme a Little Dream With Me

    Ronald takes a dip in a not-so-lazy river only to find himself at the mercy of the rushing rapids. Luckily he quite literally bumps into Vance McKnaff who guides them both to the safety of land. But McKnaff may not be the hero that he seems...

    Interviews! Shock Talk (and two smoking hypnotists)

    Interviews! Shock Talk (and two smoking hypnotists)

    Matthias takes to the road in a truly windowless van to escape some government goons hunting down his most recent interviewee. All of the stress gets to him and, like a responsible adult, he seeks therapy to resolve his issues. He's given a recommendation for a top therapist in Indianapolis, Xavier Posada, but his methods are unusual to say the least.

    Interviews! License to Shill

    Ronald gets swept up, literally, by a barnyard animal stampede caused by blue ribbon ranked hog hollerer Lynette Grynsock. This wave of hogwash carries him all the way to Austin, Texas where he happens upon Len Kougler, a southwestern radio and television personality with many ties to the local community. But even with all the fame and adoration, Len holds a secret sadness close to his heart. Will Ronald be able to unlock it?

    The Headlines! have come to an end. The Empty Jar Network has put a stop to the weekly news show after Matthias and Ronald stuck their damn necks out for the fact checkers. Why would they do that? What have the fact checkers ever done for them? Crap, looks I'm out of work as well. Thanks a lot you big doofuses! See you in the funny papers... NOT!

    Headlines! Laundry Shaman has Sixth Sense for Socks

    Sock Goblins are becoming a real nuisance in New York City, but Matthias thinks he has uncovered the solution. Lucky's Laundromat boasts a "no sock left behind" guarantee thanks to the help of Randy, their resident Laundry Shaman. Randy's services come with a price though, one that Matthias isn't sure he can afford.

    Headlines! Uncanny Valley Nanny Leads Many to Insanity

    A big splash was made at the DebuTech Ball this year, and it wasn't just the cannonball robot. The NannyBot3000 appeared on the scene and stole the hearts of the attendees before making a huge faux pas.

Funny and very witty

Always funny and very witty. Love the shorts for a guaranteed laugh to brighten my day. A welcome vacation from “the news” with smart writing and hilarious improv. Looking forward to more episodes!

It says “Comedy”

But there are no jokes! Just giggling at ‘yes and’s.

Hamagic ,

Number one infotainment parody podcast

What a great podcast. Did I create it? You betcha. But I would still rate it 10/5 stars even if I didn’t.
