Ep 388#388: It Was 20 Years Ago Today…
EWe celebrate the 20th Anniversary of The Bitterest Pill by discussing: Chatbots can't keep up the facade, DJ X is a fraud, passing gas immediately before work is a risky game, and Clint Eves is a bad intern.

Ep 387#387: The Eyes Have It
EI can not describe this episode. It was recorded on June 5th, and I'm writing this description on Oct. 12. So, just listen?

#386: The 90045
I complain about Westchester and take a shower...

#385: This Episode Has No Title
I recorded this episode a week and a half ago, and I don't remember what I said...

Ep 384#384: Good night, Nurse
EMy dad had an operation.

#383: Artificial Intelligence & Real Stupidity
EI made an AI version of my voice, I am a horrible friend, and Cousin Ronny (River) is a cowboy...

#382: If It’s Fixed Don’t Break It
I switched to "less expensive" health insurance, tried to get AI to make me a Me, and finally fixed the washer and dryer...I think.

Ep 381#381: Cyanide & Hot Water
I bought a Koke Zeero laced with cyanide, got new glasses that are useless, called in "sick," and tried to fix the leaking shower...

#378: Don’t Call It a Comeback…
After a bit of an extended hiatus (almost 3 years?), I am back with the usual nonsense about restroom phone etiquette, rabid raccoons, the Bitterest Pill connection to possibly the greatest movie ever made, my version of TikTok, and my expertise in installing smart thermostats...

PILLBOX: The Wish Book
I talked reality with my agent. Honestly, if you’re trying to make it in show business, reality is the last thing you want to talk about.

PILLBOX: Science Fair
(Originally released April 21, 2011) Hudson and his friends took part in the LA County Science and Engineering Fair, and I chaperoned. No, not my first choice of chaperone, but there […]

PILLBOX: Aloha, Birthday Girl
We were supposed to go to Hawaii again this year. But, things can change. Try explaining to your 8-year-old daughter that she won’t be spending her birthday in Maui after all. Gulp.

#377: What’s a Middle-Aged White Man to Do?
I drove to Arizona with my eyes closed and slept with my eyes open...

#376: Somethin’s (Almost) Bruin
I went to a football game. Well, two. I think. Jimmy drove us. I "talked" sports and drank a third of a beer. And survived.

#375: We’ll Have Time (Right?)
I go to a wedding, I go to Michigan and I go back in time. It's good to be back...

#374: All That Jazz… (aka “Butterscotch” or “Lima Bean?”)
I talk about my need for a new coding system, so I know when a woman is interested in me and when she is just being polite. "What's Your '17?'" "Butterscotch?" "Lima bean?"

#373: Bumbling, As Usual
I was trying to network...
