Randy and Chase almost convince Randy’s roommate to hop the podcast and talk about the ongoing beef with his neighbor, but it will have to wait another week. The boys have a meandering conversation about finding things you are interested in to read about and their artistic (or lack thereof) sensibilities. All that highly cultured talk got the guys exhausted, so they move the conversation back to the streets and have a discussion on knowing when to walk away from a fight. The fellas tackle the current events as usual - Jay Cutler getting a contract with the Dolphins while Colin Kaepernick still doesn’t have a job, North Korea and their missile parades, and the update on the sentencing of a woman who texted her boyfriend to kill himself.

The fellas move on to current events - Conor McGregor and his potentially racist comments, a landlord who had to pay a $12K fine for walking in his tenant's apartment with shoes on, and Nevada selling out of weed.

In this episode the guys get into Dean’s path in the comedy game, avoiding having the keys so you can live your dream, flipping shit on eBay, the minimalist movement and podcasting.

In this week’s episode, the guys prepare for their upcoming vacation. The Dean Delray Comics 2 Cure show was awesome and Randy and Chase thank the comics and the fans for coming out. Randy moves on to an impromptu financially funny segment with a question that’s been troubling him for years…why do cashiers put the coins in your hand last, on top of the cash and receipt? Randy and Chase tackle a few news topics this week - the Trump/Morning Joe feud, a Czech industrial company has a bikini contest for interns, and the right wing media pivoting to ask if collusion with Russia is even a crime.

Randy kicks off the show giving a recap of his McGreevy’s set (thanks to all for coming out!). The guys get into talking about how much doing cardio sucks - are marathoners crazy? Chase complements Randy on his leisure travel skills. Some how a chat about ice cream leads into a talk about small businesses - they aren’t always “mom and pop” stores like the media and politicians would lead you to believe. Randy tells stories about how his dad would play cold jokes on him and his siblings as little kids. The cookies and cream duo bring the show home going over some current events - a crazy N.C. date rape law and the story of a young woman who got convicted of manslaughter for texting her boyfriend to kill himself.

Ready Set Blow - Ep. 24

Ready Set Blow - Ep. 24

After opening the show with some banter on household chores, Randy and Chase get into a rather deep conversation about the double edged sword of selfishness and competitiveness - there are times when being selfish or being competitive are very positive and beneficial in your life but you cannot let those traits steal joy from you. After the philosophy discussion, Randy wanted to have a follow-up discussion with Chase on racism, Bill Maher and the inappropriate comments he made. They guys felt the show was getting to heavy, so they lightened it up with a segment on the NBA and the legacies of sports superstars like Michael Jordan. Jordan’s legacy is so big that it has changed culture and fashion in America and around the world. Next up, the boys did their “Financially Funny” segment of the week. Loyal listener Georgia wrote in and asked for investment recommendations on 401K accounts, which the fellas try to provide. The guys wrap up the show talking about the great time Randy had at a lesbian block party during the Boston Pride parade…Chase thinks he wants in on the next party.

Ready Set Blow - Ep. 23

Chase and Randy start the show by reminiscing about the last episode, which was a throwback to October 2016.  Chase was in NYC last week, which reminds Randy of the time Jon Stewart bought him breakfast tequila shots. The guys accidentally stumble into their first Financially Funny segment, where they discuss “opportunity costs” in the context of paying a mortgage vs. paying rent (the value of anything is generally always relative, not absolute!). Interestingly, the Financially Funny segment gets the guys talking about how the opportunity cost concept applies to broader experiences in life - getting a post-secondary education and career choices. Chase re-lives his heroic first week of work at his day job, where he saved a stranger’s life. The conversation segues into a discussion of personal integrity - what would you do if you saw someone in need that nobody else was willing to help? Do you admit when you are wrong? To what standard do you hold people in your life to the same standard of admitting their mistakes/transgressions? The guys wrap up the show with a recount of Randy’s trip to Nantucket, an update on current events (Kathy Griffin, Bill Maher, Trump etc.), and listener emails.

Randy congratulates Chase on achieving a major milestone in life...he finally got cable TV. The guys start talking about business travel and Randy absolutely loses his mind over the recent rash of passengers getting physically removed from “oversold” flights. After Randy calmed down, Chase brought up the reports of the horrible things Adam Jones was called during a recent game at Fenway Park. Chase and Randy move on from racism at Fenway to ridiculous tales of Chase’s time in a gang. Things get slightly more serious when they touch on current events - Stephen Colbert’s recent controversial comments, Obama getting paid to speak at an investment bank, and the Republican healthcare bill. The episode wraps up with an exciting announcement…a new Comics 2 Cure show! The fellas are bringing in Dean Delray from LA to headline at Nick’s Comedy Stop in Boston on June 29th. Tickets will go on sale soon.  And don’t worry, they are working on rescheduling Ashy Larry (aka, Donnell Rawlings).

Ready Set Blow - Ep. 18

The guys start off the episode talking about how Randy tries not to be excitable - taking good news or bad news with an even temper. They move on to talk about their time as college students and Chase gets into the creative ways he made extra money. Chase and Randy get into a long talk about how they’ve grow since their college days - their previous questionable fashion choices and how they put getting drunk in public behind them (for the most part). Are they getting old and boring or have they just done it all before? Chase wraps up the show by asking Randy about his experience doing stand-up comedy thus far and how he is progressing. Randy lets Chase know why he won't call himself a "comic" yet

The boys open the show talking about crooked televangelists, which morphs into a long discussion about their views on religion and faith. They move on to talk about the presidency and why citizens who were not born on U.S. soil can’t run for the office. Chase starts a conversation on the importance of spending time alone...but how much time alone is too much? The guys come to the conclusion that we all need to make time for relationships that are important to us. A fellow comedian from NYC calls Chase during the show so that had to be edited out (sorry for the weird cut in). Chase and Randy finish up the show talking about how when they were kids, they used to go over friend's houses and eat all their food.

Ready Set Blow - Ep. 13

Randy and Chase taped the podcast late this week because Randy couldn’t figure out an instruction manual. This leads to the guys getting into a whole discussion about taking on a job you don’t actually enjoy doing. Randy reveals his discomfort with talking about his achievements in life and Chase does a great job of playing therapist for the segment.  The “cookies-n’-cream” duo move onto talk about sports - specifically, franchises moving the team to another city (sorry Oakland) and how owners can often be hypocrites in how they treat players (employees) and fans (paying customers).  The boys finish off by going over last weeks news including the GOP pushing through a bill allowing ISP to sell your personal data for profit without your permission AND not compensating you for it
