Complaints And Observations

Complaints And Observations

The internet's #1 podcast about complaining and then observing.

29/12/2023

Just taking a quick hiatus from The Hiatus to talk about mostly nothing for 45 minutes.
Episode #157 - A Hiatus From The Hiatus talking about nothing for 45 minutes. Mostly a stream of consciousness that begins with a solemn prayer and includes the current happenings worldwide, flying, Star Wars, space, OnlyFans, 12ft skeletons and so much more.

Then it's on to Three Gripes: the left side of the escalator, food & podcasting.

It's the same garbage you always ignored, but now sounding nasally and without structure! Check it out.

Back with an early drop this week and it's the usual pile of crap! This week on the , it's a short shift talking about Threads, the Red Sox, as****es throwing crap at performers and loyalty. Then it's on to Three Gripes: sharks & bears, AI and time. There's a show announces tied into my last gripe as well. Link in the bio.

After sitting out a week with a case of the "awwww me so sleepy"-ies, I'm back talking into a microphone and offering almost nothing of real substance! I spend time on that OceanGate sub nonsense, the possibility of Musk vs Zuck in a cage...you'll have to tune in for the twist that would really make this thing worthwhile and I admit that I may be just a bit wrong about the Red Sox. Then it's onto this week's Three Gripes: Old people complaining about younger generations, ci******es in Brookline & MTG vs. Boebert.

It's the same as taking all of those lawn clippings you just mowed and taking them to a pawn shop...worthless! Check it out!

I'll be honest, this one should've been slightly better than usual, but I'm also 100% certain that the audio is going to sound like complete s**t! So buckle up and get ready as I talk out of my ass about Extreme, cancer drugs, gynecologic oncology, the Denver Nuggets, the city of Miami, the GOAT, Lionel Messi, the sport of soccer in America and of course, West Ham United. Massive.

Then it's on to Three Gripes: Swifties, Aging and Push Pops.

It's all the same pile of crap that I usually come up with but probably a bit more long-winded and boring than usual! Check it out!

07/06/2023

It's another less than stellar effort that you're certain to loathe! This week I get moderately deep into shed doors, the GOP not knowing which way is up, the Ted Lasso finale, this PGA Tour/LIV Golf nonsense and Lionel Messi. All that before getting into Three Gripes: holding farts in a meeting, air quality cardio & people being angry about the Little Mermaid being something other than pasty white.

It's all the usual pile of crap that I conjure up so please and ! Link in the bio! Check it out!

It took WAY too long to get this loaded and it may or may not sound like two weasels fornicating in metal trash bin, BUT it's an episode nonetheless! This week I'm talking a bit about how the Celtics are the absolute worst before getting into marketing and more specifically the nonsense surrounding Bud Light & others, how D.B. Cooper is hilarious and that it could be an inside job and finally it's this week's Three Gripes: Publicly eating like a goddamned animal, putting your own feet deeply into your mouth and never-ending thirst for power.

It's another week of crap that I'm not qualified to talk about but don't particular care because it's my show! Check it out!

The is BACK and more mediocre than ever! It's the debut of Season 4 with a fresh intro and fresh new crap that I'm talking about. Being far more unprepared that usual, I still find time to complain about the Bruins, Celtics & Red Sox, the Met Gala vs. the Coronation, our Commander-in-Chief. And then we're on to Three (Six) Gripes: Margaritaville, the jersey over the dress shirt look, old people in a group at a bar, carrying lunch in a plastic shopping bag, fiveheads and s**tting in a strip club.

All that and little else! Check it out! Link in the bio.

Doing something a bit different this week as I spend time expressing gratitude. Numerous people and a host of different things while offering some reflection as I approach another birthday. I'm simply taking the opportunity to share some feelings that I haven't really done previously in such a manner as I'm grateful for just being able to do so. Not the usual episode, but one that I'm very happy to share.

Another week and another bunch of opinions that no one needs! This week I add my two cents to the growing pile of oxidized pennies talking about yet another school shooting in this country. Then I dive back into more s**t that I know nothing about including the new GM of the MBTA, the Red Sox, Lamar Jackson and ending with this week's Three Gripes: Old ski lift tags, the first week of spring & running.
Better get your fill of petty garbage now because next week is the Gratitude Episode. What are you grateful for?! Let me know, 617-657-4736.

Yeah, it's late, but let's be honest with each other here, ok? You & I both know that this is going to be terrible regardless of what I do it.

This week I'm talking about work and the state being in the office while also acknowledging the occasionally humorous things that happen there, I get into Jaylen Brown and how the sports media in Boston is all up in a lather, Buffalo Wild Wings, Jonathan Waxman & chefs. Then I've got a couple of unfunny voicemails before getting into this week's Three Gripes: People under 35 are dumb, National Grid and TV dads.

Of course, it's just as bad as the rest of them! Check it out. Link in the bio

Back with another episode of the and thankfully this one is far worse than usual! This week I'm talking about the weather, the Patriots offseason, TikTok, Albanian food and I take a voicemail from some weak stomached numb skull who dares insult the great Guy Fieri on my show.

Then we're on to Three Gripes: At _realityrecords, urinals & tab shaming
Honestly, this is just awful so I'd understand if you skipped it. Listen to the last 2 interviews that I did, those are much better. Check it out!

This week is a good one and it's all because of my guest, Gene Dante! Gene joins me to talk about his band, Gene Dante & the Future Starlets, how the city of Boston has become overly gentrified, visual creatives vs. auditory creatives, how DL/UX is an great album, the grind of being an actor and how "Fenway Park is a dump with rhinestones glued on it"! I also talk about everyone's favorite topic, soccer which leads into a great voicemail from my suffering yet eternally optimistic pal, Will. Another excellent voicemail from Jacques of the about how bananas at Market Basket are basically double wrapped!

Finally, it's on to Three Gripes: numbers, seltzers and Nestle.
It's a far better than usual episode so you should absolutely check it out!

Back to not having someone far more interesting than me on the show and for that I must beg forgiveness. This week I'm talking about The Winery Dogs, NHL teams in a full panic because the Bruins are a wagon, MLB doing something smart for once, West Ham, how much I dislike people with gobs of cash and the similarities between blind hero worship & religion.

Then it's onto Three Gripes: people who read the words they're typing out loud, gender reveals & doctors.

There's some moderately decent stuff here this week. Seriously, it's not awful. I promise. Check it out!

There are few people, myself included, who ever thought that I'd record 150 episodes of this garbage. It's truly remarkable. And awful...it's all truly awful.

This week though I'm thrilled to be back in the Broadcast Palace to spin yarns and talk out of my ass. I talk a bit about the Super Bowl and how Rhianna's halftime was outstanding for 2 very different reasons. I also talk about labor, it's value and how the average American is continually screwed by referencing the Medieval Times strike and then the literal and figurative railroading of East Palestine, OH.

Then I'm lucky to be joined by writer & author, Robert Dean () to talk about his book "Existential Thirst Trap" which you can get on May 8 or pre-order at Barnes & Noble. It's a great conversation filled with tech hiccups and Pantera. I've got a couple of awesome voicemail complaints before I get into this week's Three Gripes: Greeting cards, being awkward to servers & cottage cheese.

I wrap it all up with a heartfelt thank you to everyone that's listened to this nonsense while almost assuredly forgetting someone in the process. Check it out! Link in the bio.

I'm back....back in the Boston groove. Wow, that's a s**tty "joke". Any hoo, this week I'm talking about a bunch of crap that other, more intelligent people have covered including the Chinese spy balloon & TikTok, how the right can't get their theatrics in order and how Uncle Joe just won't stand for it. Then I get into the shows I've seen of late, how Joey Belladonna looks like Frank Langella's Skeletor, Boston music venues and as****es in the pit. I also touch on LeBron, Tom Brady retiring and how corporations are just a bunch of clueless copycats while employing sad, pathetic humans.

Mercifully, it's then on to this week's Three Gripes: Sales department games, Lays & grocery store 9's and cell phone video people at concerts.
It's a pile of nothing with zero value, so why not listen!? Check it out! Link in the bio!

'm back on that same old nonsense as this week I'm talking about things that are out of date yet relevant to me because I didn't talk about them last week. Makes sense, right?

Anywell...I get into sports gambling in Massachusetts, Dial soap, gonorrhea, National Grid sucks, Kim Kardashian, cheap vodka and what's the weirdest things you've seen someone do in a car while driving. Then it's onto Three Gripes: death metal band fonts, Nick Adams & couples where only one person is wearing a mask.

It's not the best work I've done, but then again I've never done anything good so it fits the bill. Check it out! Link in the bio.

Lucky for all of you this isn't one of those episodes where I pontificate on things that I know little about! Instead I'm lucky enough to have Donny Washburn and Bobby Washburn of to pontificate about things that they actually know about. A real change of pace, eh? We're talking about the Boston music scene & the lack thereof and how it's getting even worse. We also talk about Boston Calling, how promoters and managers are s**t, Bobby's numerous bands and the upcoming The Quiet Violent EP. Best of all is the probably world premiere of one of their new songs, "Tragedy" which is excellent! Link in the bio.

Well would ya look at that? It's another awful edition of the . I'm mostly sorry about that. At any rate, this week I'm talking about our time away in Cancun and why it'll likely be the last time in Cancun and the awful food, watered down drinks and annoying kids therein. I touch on that piece of s**t in Cohasset that killed his wife and how cheating on a spouse has to be absolutely laborious. I've also got a couple of outstanding voicemails...one on Christmas gifts and the other on how dog p**p bags/produce bags are far too difficult for some people to use.

Then it's onto Three Gripes: solid color pocket tees, people who discuss fairly private things in public settings and second hand smoke.

It's all as useless as usual, but this could be the one that turns you into a diehard listener. Could be...

Back with so much more of the things that you know you want to talk about, but are simply too smart to do so. I talk a little bit about Damar Hamlin before getting into the NFL. Then I'm on to the usual cheeky nonsense that this stupid show is known for including football game cameramen being h***y as hell, Southwest being a garbage outfit, teleportation as the most useful superpower, water vs. electricity and a voicemail about literal business names.

I also intro a new Question of the Week: What is the most underrated episode of Seinfeld?

Then it's onto Three Gripes: Country music, Tom Brady & dudes with hardo voicemail away messages.

There's literally something for everyone so why not give it a listen, eh!? Check it out!

This week, I'm back with a whole host of garbage that you're sure to ignore! I'm talking about the old east coast vs west coast rap beef for no actual reason and screwing up the sides, Christmas babies, the end of brought to you by the New England Patriots, b***r commercials on the radio and the experience of jury duty.
Then I've got the pinnacle of complaint voicemails as new friend of the show, LuAnn drops a gem as the first Mom complaint in the show's illustrious history!!

Finally I've got Four Gripes: I hate the Red Sox, Instagram spam, fantasy football and those little plastic things that are used to attach price tags and whatnot to various items. Yeah, there's a name for them, but I hate them so much I'm not going to do them the service of finding out. Check it out! Link in the bio!

Back with a weekend drop because I can't figure out a schedule to save my damn life! This week I'm yammering on about office work, the Red Sox, , college football, dead famous people, being drunk, Crocs, co***ne and dog s**t. This week's Three Gripes: Hippos, neighbors and Massachusetts public transit.

It's terrible as always, but hey, you're here reading this and thinking about pushing the play button so that's on you. Check it out!

Hey! Remember me?! Oh...no? S**t. Well, ya know what? That's fine, I get it. Nah, nah...it's ok really, no, I understand. There's nothing really here and you never really paid that much attention anyways so, it's cool.

Back after a very long time away with a painfully long episode talking about my time in New Zealand, the Midterms, Dan Snyder, Brittney Griner, the Fencesitters, New Jersey, Germans, b***rs, children and WAY more. I've also got an amazing voicemail that I'm hoping to Gawd is real before finishing you off with Three Gripes: old flight attendants, companies who promise a small donation for every action during the season & women who put up with s**tty men.

All that, a bunch of sniffles, coughs and vocal faux pas on the ! Check it out!

From bucolic Christchurch, NZ, it's another waste of your time!! Keeping it brief by talking about random NZ stuff, cricketers & cologne and the Jets being this week's lone !

Then I've got Three Gripes, but it's just one gripe: irrational anger. Check it out!

Much to the chagrin of just about anyone with a functioning brain, here's another episode of this crap. I'm talking about a number of different things that I really know little about, but because I'm obsessed with microphones, I'm going on about Elon Musk and the impending death of Twitter, big oil making more money than they really should be, the Week 7 and a great but frustrating voicemail from P1 listener, Heather about her trying to navigate loan forgiveness.

Then it's onto to Three Gripes: people who annoy barbers, Nick Cannon and custom exhausts.

It's like the pizza you used to get in elementary school. Yeah, it's awful, but it's still pizza. Not sure how that analogy fits here, but there it is. Check it out!

I've only done this 140+ times, but talking into a microphone is a bit of an aphrodisiac so it is what it is! This week I'm talking about that troglodyte, Kanye again and a cockamamie theory about how the American auto industry has killed any possibility of viable public transit in this country. Then it's onto Week 7's - the Packers, the refs and your New England Patriots. I also have a great voicemail from friend of the show, Donny who managed to bring tie a couple of these things together.

Then it's on to Three Gripes: people who can't sing singing in public, gambling and being normal.

All that and little else, but you've got nothing else going on so why not listen!? Check it out!

Much to the chagrin of just about everyone, I was able to record this week's episode during my lunch break. I said I'd keep it short and I lied. This week, I'm talking about Tom Brady looking far too much like Skeletor, Mr. & Mrs. RKK, this week's : Arizona, Chiefs & 49ers, and a great voicemail from friend of the show, Donny who talks about his frustration over Blink 182 tickets which leads me into a fairly well researched rant about that AND how Ticketmaster still blows.

Then it's on to Three Gripes: dogs in stores where they don't belong, Pete Davidson & face painted fans. It's all terrible, but it's all here! Check it out!

It's a day late and hundreds upon hundreds of doll hairs short. Working again is tough on this horrible podcast, but I'm here this week talking about Tom & Gisele, Kanye, Alex Jones, Dan Snyder & religion all amalgamated into a take on how America continues to worship stupid people. Honestly, I think it's a fairly decent take and mostly coherent so that's a plus.

Week 5's : Cardinals, Panthers, Raiders and NFL refs. Then I'm thrilled to have FOUR voicemails this week covering a variety of wonderfully petty nonsense! 617-657-4736.

Finally, it's Three Gripes: Train Edition - people who talk on the phone while on the train, people who walk too slow between line changes & conductors who think they're comedians.
It's all barely above tolerable, but still . Check it out! Link in the bio.

Right off the bat I need to apologize for this being absurdly long. I was overcaffeinated and therefore rambled at a rate that makes this show even worse than it usually is. Some of the crap I'm talking about includes Philadelphia statues, , the AL MVP, cheating scandals in chess, poker and fishing, Elon Musk is Diet Lex Luthor, Florida is afraid of everything, the new JLo movie, an excellent voicemail about waiting in line to get into a bar and the Tightass Joints.

Then it's on to Three Gripes: Charities, getting old and dreams.
It's probably too much to consume, if I'm being honest, but I ask that you check it out just the same! YAY! Link in the bio!

Well, it's another pile of crap this week as I'm talking about International Podcast Day on Sept. 30, archaeology, cannibalism, chess and the goddamn New England Patriots before getting into this week's Three Gripes: Traffic, tardiness & Instagram.
The level of mediocrity is literally off the charts here and it's just boring enough to keep on in the background while you're mopping the floor, but not so good to listen while you're driving. Check it out! Link in the bio.
