Weird MedicineWe have a listener who has been battling terminal bladder cancer since 2011. He’s had to try to continue to work just to keep the lights on despite horrific intractable pain, but hasn’t had a full time job since being laid off in 2012. The last tweet I got from him said “i’m already $100 […]
Last night we recorded a “very special” Weird Medicine from the RiotCast studio above the Comedy Cellar in the West Village. Thanks to the owner, Noam Dworman for giving us this incredible space to record! Rob Sprance, the co-owner of The Riotcast Network was there and made sure all the technical details were perfect as […]
I got a note from a listener about his mom and her nightmarish foray into the medical system. Â She had a mass that was removed and post surgery retained a lot of fluid (it’s called “third spacing“, feel free to Google it). Anyway, she was getting a bit of the ol’ “run around”, likely due […]
Some people have asked about the music beds we use for ads and stuff. I plan to post all of the original audio here for people who might want it (but why would you? It’s AWFUL!) For now, here is the new music bed for next week’s recording session; we’ll use it for AMAZON, Gamefly, […]
Ok, this guy called our show (you’ll hear it 6/16/13) to plug his book by asking a question about anxiety. Of course, it was tongue in cheek and we get the joke, but the guy doesn’t have any comments or reviews on his Amazon page so I thought it would be fun if our listeners […]
We were given the very sad news that our friend XM Jim passed away today. He always told me “this cancer isn’t going to get me, doc” and he was right; he died of a massive heart attack. Jim was self-employed and had no life insurance; he leaves behind a wife and 3 kids, 2 […]
Occasionally, I come to you, hat in hand, to help one of the friends of our show monetarily. Some of these promotions are more successful (Patrice O’Neal, Big A) than others (Blowhard), but you always come through. This time we really need your help. A listener to our show (he’s @XMJim on Twitter, please follow […]
Dr Steve, Addadictome Todd and Dr D from the Throckmorton File answer awkward and strange medical questions. Topics include: nutsack skin tags, post cholecystectomy syndrome, steroid injections for migraines, Neil Armstrong, energy drinks, rabies, etc. Also, the voting for Blowhard’s future on our show is almost over…if you have an opinion click here and vote! […]
I figured if we added the possibility of Brooklyn Blowhard being banned forever from our show that people would knock each other over to donate to his “sh!# eating grin” fund. I guess people really love him on the air, because the move to ban him forever has earned only $90 of the needed $600 […]
If you’ve been listening lately, our faithful listener “Brooklyn Blowhard” SWALLOWED HIS OWN TOOTH recently. He has no money, so he has been sifting through his own fecal matter for over two weeks trying to find it so his dentist can put it back in (it’s a cap, apparently, and Blowhard is not too proud […]
