Men in Charge in Brief(s)

Roger Basement’s guest on What’s New with You, Rollo Squints, wants to infect you with enthusiasm about his new Poisonous Creature Exhibition.

Who or whom (or what) has trapped Armey, Moragh, Karla, and Bletchley like rats? The answer is revealed—and it may not be as surprising as you might have hoped!

The prison/talk show saga scurries toward a conclusion—beware its pink, whip-like tail!

Norma the Mail Carrier relates a story about how Old Man Fester failed to order exercise equipment for his shack—but has to find space for some nonetheless, consarnit!

Really good fights between once-loving neighbors that lead to long grudges are so hard to find these days. Well, maybe they aren't. But why not start your next community feud with The Outdoor Vac, Mark III?

Yakov Turgenev, the world’s tallest and best-looking Russian Parking Attendant, faces off against the violent, masked men who are, frankly, more like MICE.

What's more fun than a summer patio party? We know, it's renting furniture by the hour to put around your sad, tepid frog-hole of a water feature. But what's more fun than THAT?

Somewhere near Dallas is an Air Force Base on which the "birds" are made of toothpicks and candy. They're useless in cases of alien invasion, but they are the few, the proud, the Commemorative Air Force.

As is well-known, the brilliant Dutch Sephardic Jewish philosopher, Baruch Spinoza, began his closely-argued book Ethics, written in the style of geometrical demonstrations, with the first, most fundamental question, "Why are there bagels, rather than not?" We don't explore that question in this sketch.

Today’s infomercial poses the question, “Do the things in our kitchens really have to be so sharp, hard, and magnets for knees and funny bones?” The answer is clearly “yes,” but the sketch goes on anyway.

Physics romance author Dr. Eleanor Galsworthy faces her greatest scientific challenge ever: a bookstore signing gone horribly wrong for her new physics romance, The Spacetime Between Us.

Trapped in a hideous sitcom (the terror comes from the laugh-track), the hosts of Trapped Like Rats! (and Cornered Like Lemmings!) come to a startling realization:

The traps are all new, but the being trapped like rats is the old familiar. Your favorite impenetrable prison drama/talk show is back, and somebody is most certainly going to get MASERed!

Since we left on the hand of your "literal" seat weeks ago with Trapped Like Rats! 2, we thought we'd issue this searing follow-up!

Tony and Kevin only interrupt your regularly established cavalcade of comedy to issue a Private Service Announcement once or twice a month. Listen in—you won't regret it!

Yakov has tussled with overdue meters and flat tires, but now he’s meeting his match: the agents of MICE!

Roger Basement sits down with Ernst Stavro Blofeld to talk about pesky Secret Service agents and lucky luge escapes.

His name: Yakov Alexandrovich Turgenev. He's a Russian Parking Attendant, czar of all the parking slots, the man who decides where, and if, you can park in his lot. And he is a force for Good in today's United States of Parking.

Proclaim it from the heights of the world and from all mobile helipads and pool decks! (but just keep your voice down, please) The International Headache Society is meeting in a dim room near you!

During the holiday season, we're all asking the same question: "Where does the mafia-style corruption end and the winning begin?" MPR reporter Charlene "Charlie" Heavers penetrates the White House to get answers and another helping of crusty bread and giardiniera.

It's Sabbath Mode—for everything! The possibilities for technically violating your religion's commandments are limitless!

Not all Old Testament prophets are lucky enough to see that wheel in the sky that keeps on turnin’!

Remember Uncle Typhoid? He's a real pain in the neck when he comes over for the holidays and wants to talk about how the government is making frogs gay and other idiotic topics. But how much, precisely, of a pain in the neck is your uncle? Now you will find out.

"Ice cream of the future": the ultimate scam! The Men in Charge team of cosmic question-posers-slash-Dippin' Dots critics take on the question of our generation.

Your friends are constantly telling you stories about non-mutual friends. Now’s the time to cash in on that!

"Clutch" and his grandpa had a pretty good scam going—they'd hit the Lower Heights senior eateries, Clutch would insult the table staff, and his grandpa would fake a heart attack before the bill came.

"Clutch" and his grandpa had a pretty good scam going—they'd hit the Lower Heights senior eateries, Clutch would insult the table staff, and his grandpa would fake a heart attack before the bill came.

"Bob" is a man like me or you (unless you're not a man). His pathetic little life now means something because he can wear camo, hide his face, and deport people he doesn't like the look of. "Bob's" and Agent of MICE!

Men in Charge commemorates the passing of Jane Goodall in the only way she would have found acceptable: through loving parody.

Viewers will be sick, by now, of our ongoing true-crime story of how temps tried to make Men in Charge better. But this is really all we've got at this point.

Tony and Kevin are caught in the crossfire during a clash of temps—both vying to be Quality Captain of Men in Charge in Brief(s)!

Tony and Kevin bristle under the new productivity regime emphasized by Gina, the show's Quality Captain.

"Call me Ishmael." Thus begins a multi-part saga of how Tony and Kevin risked too much with the implicit question quiz, and so were ruled over by ... a temp.

It's the new game show that ask all kinds of incisive social questions about the friends of your friends—whom you may have no relationship with at all!

In a new tradition of airing episodes in the reverse order from which they were written, Sheriff Coors and Deputy Gertrude the Loon are assisted (heh) by SkyHighMan. Hope you listened to the last three Deputized! stories, listener!

Think of today's public service announcement as a kind of game show in which our isolationist leaders choose the new 51st state: Greenland? Canada? All we know is, it better damn well not be Belgium.

Who says you can't enjoy illusions and close-up magic on a radio show?

In cleaning out the latest bit of cultural detritus from the show's spam filter, Tony and Kevin face an existential dilemma.

Now that the USA is winning, winning, winning by simply re-naming geographical features like Gulfs and Buttes, the GOP shares their latest acquisitions!

The harm ptarmigan is gone, but the hosts/prisoners of today’s #1 talk show recorded in an impenetrable jail aren’t out of peril yet!

Holy Jacob Burckhardt, Batman! It’s a real Restroom Renaissance at the Shops at Plimsoles Hills!

Like rats shiftly aimlessly through an endless, imponderable labyrinth, the cast of the rebooted Talk Show/Inescapable, Real Prison explore their need for Being.

Ungrateful little incel Jack Shambles joins Deputy Thorn Withers and Gertrude the Loon to investigate Old Man Withers' Surplus Store.

Sheriff Coors and Deputy Maisie rope in Creg Bellowes from Lower Heights Public Radio to investigate their latest case.

Dr. Orville Preacher listens to a caller who... pauses.... when she... is speaking. (This is, by the way, our all-time funniest episode)!

Our local public radio reporter is flung from the transdimensional subway into... what?

Dr. Orville Preacher is back. And so is heart-healthy cheescake!

An old traditional Yankee cookbook has a new twist...we dare not tell a lie!

In which we show that pesky things like foreign, hard-to-pronounce names (like "Mexico") ought not to stand in the way of naming progress.

The newly-gelatinized announcer searches for sentience beyond the portal.
