Episode #200 - The Final Episode
Yes, it's the final episode of Complaints & Observations and I'm reflecting on the past 5+ years by talking about some of the things I've talked about before. Riveting, eh!? Sports, politics and that's about it. I have some voicemails from great listeners and even better people, snack foods and...

Not An Episode #11
Wishing all of you a very happy National Gov't Shutdown Day! Very exciting. I felt the need to ramble about that and some of what I feel are reasons behind it. Just phenomenal really. As it's Not An Episode, there's no music, no breaks and really makes no sense, but I also get into the Patriots,...

Episode #199 - The Penultimate Episode, Sports & Three Gripes
Well you finally got your wish as this nonsense is finally being wrapped up and this is the penultimate episode. That means second to last, you morons.

Episode #198 - Vegas, Football & Three Gripes
I'm fairly certain that I sleepwalked through this one so it should give you a great idea how much awful it is! This week I'm talking about our weekend in Las Vegas, the Red Sox, West Ham, sports owners, famous dogs and probably more. Then it's Three Gripes: Airplane bathroom floors, people in…

Just Gripes.
It's not an episode, but it's not one of the old Not An Episode episodes. It's just a fat, old loser bloviating about petty nonsense. Exciting, eh!? I complain about "unalive", license plate frames/hobbies, company culture and Cracker Barrel. It's short, stale and mostly useless, but you should...
-
Episode #197 - Sports & Three Gripes
A shorter episode, but filled with the host yelling into the mic! This week it's a bit of sports including the Red Sox being garbage again, Dollar Bill and West Ham starting the season and reminding me that I'm a moron for investing my time in energy in them! We also have a voicemail from Mike...

Episode 196 - A slight delay, but only one of you actually cares! This week I'm yelling, ranting, raving and whatever else about greed, Tom Brady, the Red Sox, voicemails and now every thing is a thing and it's exhausting!

Episode 195 - Hogan, Sports & Three Gripes
It's a literal flaming pile of trash this week. Aren't you excited!? This week I’m starting off with Hulk Hogan’s passing, followed by the Red Sox, the Patriots, West Ham and soccer as a whole. Then I’ve got two voicemails from our friend Mike including a WNBA update. Finally it’s Three Gripes:...

Episode #194 - Ozzy, Voicemails & Three Gripes
This week I’m starting off with my own tribute to the greatest of the greats, Ozzy Osbourne. I’m also talking about the Red Sox back to being garbage, training camp and pre-season actual football. I have to touch on politics because it’s still too absurd, but then I get to a couple of voicemails...
-
Episode #193 - Epstein, Soccer, UMass & Three Gripes
It's another riveting episode of basically nothing! This week I again talk about Epstein and the positively insane reaction an episode post on Facebook.

Episode #190 - Billionaires, Baseball & Three Gripes
Back after a break due to life, I'm yelling this week about a few things including getting old, dizzy bat, billionaires, the Red Sox & Raffy Devers. Seriously though I'm yelling sometimes so be warned of quick bursts in volume and lack of working tech. Happy to have a couple voicemails from our...

Episode #189 - Hasselhoff, Maron, Real American & Three Gripes
Just when you think I can't put out an episode worse than anything else, I go and top that for you! This week I go on about hobbies, men's fashion, Marc Maron and Rick Derringer before talking about David Hasselhoff and the Berlin Wall for some odd reason. I have a couple of voicemails from our...

Episode #188 - The Fifth Anniversary Show and Three Gripes
The actual 5th anniversary of the show flew by without mention which should not come as a surprise, but here we are. This week I'm talking about how I'm all done with the Red Sox, good music and then bad music and about the last 5 years of the show along with the good fortune I've had to talk…

Episode #178 - Sports, Sports, Voicemails & Three Gripes
Bad news. I'm back this week. Good news. I'm talking sports...though that could be taken as bad news.

I bet you're only here for the penises part, aren't you? Well buckle up, buttercup. This week I'm talking about the Super Bowl but after recording realized I left out two key points that I wanted to make, how tired I am today, penises, straws and another voicemail from our #1 complainer, Mike.…

-
Episode 175 - Pols, Coins, Dems & Three Gripes

-
Episode #167 - Coaching, Boxing & Three Gripes
Full disclosure....this episode stinks. Ill-prepared with little to talk about is a bad combo. I break last week's rule and talk politics, but quickly shift to the Patriots lousy coaching, masculinity, some whiny complaining about that Tyson v Paul farce and boxing in general. Then it's Three...

Episode #161 - That Submarine, Musk vs Zuck, the Red Sox & Three Gripes
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...
-
Episode #160 - Miami, Messi, Cancer & Three Gripes
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 shit! 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,...
-
Episode #159 - Ted Lasso, the PGA, Doors & Three Gripes
It's another less than stellar effort that you're certain to loathe!

All that before getting into Three Gripes: holding farts in a meeting,...
-
Episode #158 - Bud Light, D.B. Cooper & Three Gripes
This 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...
-
Episode 157 - Season 4 Debut & Six Gripes
The #worldsworstpodcast 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...
-
Episode #156 - The Gratitude Episode
Doing something a bit different this week as I express my gratitude to a number of different things and offering reflection as I approach another birthday. I'm taking the opportunity to share some feelings that I haven't really done in such a manner as I'm grateful for just being able to do so.…

Episode 155 - America, the MBTA & Three Gripes
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 shit that I know nothing about including the new GM of the MBTA, the Red Sox,...
-
Episode #154 - Jaylen Brown, Work Things & Three Gripes
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 of the office post Covid while also acknowledging the occasionally humorous things that happen there, I get...
-
Episode 153 - The Patriots Offseason, Albanian Food, Guy Fieri & Three Gripes
Back with another episode of the #worldsworstpodcast 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....
