Daddio

President of Tromaville himself Lloyd Kaufman joins The Daddios to talk Toxic Avenger, Ricky's movie Sweet Meats, and all things Troma.We're also joined by Troma's own Sabrina Mendoza to talk about working with Lloyd and the upcoming Troma project The Power of Positive Murder!

This week the Daddios talk about Blazing Saddles and how Mel Brooks could have made it funnier. Oh, the hubris!

After a few weeks of guests, the Daddios spend some quality time together.

Eileen Earnest (https://www.instagram.com/enonpixie/) is here to talk about her acting career, working with Ricky, teaching improv, and her time working at a Renaissance Faire!(Sorry the episode's late, y'all. Glen's fault. He's sick again. His dryer broke. A huge shelf fell off his wall and onto his piano and computer, and then Easter. You get it. We've all been there.)

Frequent Ricky collaborate Timmy H. Barron joins the show to talk about his early career, boating, and whether it's a good idea to work the door or not. Check him out in Sweet Meats or the upcoming Casually Cool!

Jason Goes to Hell director Adam Marcus joins the Daddios to talk about the new documentary Hearts of Darkness: The Making of The Final Friday, the return of physical media, and Glen's longstanding beef with the character Jason Vorhees.

Glen and Ricky sit down with Saturday Night Live alum Gary Kroeger!Gary talks about his career in comedy, his run for Congress, and what he thinks young performers should really focus on.We also float the idea that Gary, Ricky, and Glen are the same person from three different timelines.

The Daddios get petty this week as the boys share some petty gripes about the standup subreddit, recent shows, a chicken invasion, and probably some other stuff.

No guest this week as the boys shout their opinions.Watch Permanent Midnight since we'll probably talk about it next week.

Jiah Peck sits in to talk about his new web series Popcorn Pushers!https://www.youtube.com/@PopcornPushersGlen makes a brief cameo as himself in one of the later episodes!We talk about what it takes to independently produce a web series and what Jiah has planned for season two! Will Glen's character return to compare more things to Buckaroo Banzai? Will he arrive by the train that runs next to The Emmaus Theatre? Anything's possible!Jiah and Glen have been friends for a long time, dating back to when Jiah took a comedy writing class with Glen in 2017. (They didn't talk about it, but Glen later took a sketch writing class with Jiah years later.)If Jiah's name sounds familiar, it's because he's come up on the show in the past when Glen was being a petty baby about his friends (Jiah & Roya) not using his sketch Dr. Baby in their show.https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGayM6BAK7t/

Ricky asks Glen about what's happening in a comic book he's not reading. Glen tells Ricky what's happening in the comic book he IS reading. They try to lock down Disney animal logic, complain about canon, and talk about the X-men movies. All of them. Because Glen has too much time on his hands.

The Daddios welcome Kaitlin Becker (https://www.instagram.com/kaitlinbex/) to the show! Kaitlin and Ricky went to college together in the "Cincinatti Area 😉" and spend some time catches up while Glen pretends to know what they're talking about.Kaitlin talks about her time as Blippi's friend Meeka, meeting Mariska Hargitay, and absolutely mopping the floor with Ricky in a standup contest years ago.Glen switched to a new ADHD medication which kicked in around the time Kaitlin left the call, so he kept Ricky on the line for two more hours.

Snow done goofed everyone's schedules all up so the Daddios turn to late night recording. Glen's in a bad mood, but it gets better, and then he gets yelled at for being too loud when his kid is trying to sleep.Ricky brings back theme songs acapella style.

Did you know after The A-Team Mr. T headed to Canada for three seasons of a show where he played a private detective? Glen did, but he knows a lot about Mr. T.The Daddios watch along with the first episode of possibly the greatest use of Mr. T ever.

Ricky's body was vaporized by cosmic rays so he's voice-only from the 8th Dimension this week.Hope ya like lookin at Glen!

Bill Lake joins the show to talk about his first album Unpleasant Surprises (out January 28th!)https://www.billlakecomedy.com/We talk about how Bill developed his style after trying on a few different styles of comedy first, and how dark topics fit or don't fit into otherwise clean comedy.If you like a lot of well written tight jokes, then you're going to love Unpleasant Surprises.

The O.G. Bad Boy of Comedy himself Ricky Glore got his account banned on TikTok and doesn't seem that broken up about it. Glen found out when he tried to send Ricky a video about farts.

Remember a few weeks ago when we missed an episode because Glen was on a boat and Riverside didn't like that?Well he's back on land on Riverside finally cooperated so here that episode is.What do they talk about? Who can say. It was weeks ago. Probably Batman.

Glen's back from sea! Ricky's back to set!We recap Glen's recent two weeks on a cruise and Ricky talks about filming his new movie Casually Cool! I think they hinted at Glen's surprise appearance in the film. Where's he pop up? You'll have to watch the movie to find out!And it seems now that Glen's back on land, it IS possible to recover our lost episode that Riverside tried to eat, so we'll hit you with that next week while Ricky wraps production and Glen tries to learn The Charleston on piano or whatever dumb nonsense he's got going.

Last week's episode was eaten by Riverside and our only hope of recovering it is when Glen gets back on land with decent internet. This week we've got Eric M Hunter. What's the M stand for? Magneto probably.

The Daddios have been at this for a full calendar year.What does that mean? Will we change anything going forward? Will we actually come up with a premise?Will Glen stop telling people not to listen to the show?Will we watch Pee-Wee's Christmas Special again and keep talking about Batman too much?Who knows!

The Daddios talk about wasting valuable time in Nebraska as they break story for an 8-issue comics run where Batman fights Billy Madison.Jim Lee get at us.

The Daddios welcome fellow Daddio Jake Ruble to the show to talk about working with Jay Mewes, breaking from clean comedy, and how to switch seemlessly between a computer and a phone on a Google Meet call.Check out Jake's website to learn more about where to find him online and on stage! https://jakeruble.com/

The Daddios are back from their Nebraska trip!Help back Ricky's movies!https://www.indiegogo.com/en/projects/rickyglore/snl-to-cincinnati-casually-cool-truly-trudy?ref=explore-creator-page

A bit late today because the Daddios have been driving to Nebraska, but we made it to Norfolk and it's still Friday baby, so enjoy this week's episode!We talk about Batman a lot again. I don't remember why. I've driving 12 hours a day for 2 days. Unstoppable!AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO #1 SUPERFAN/NEPHEW ANTHONY

Ricky prepares to celebrate a birthday and Glen prepares to celebrate an autism diagnosis.

Ship-to-shore! Glen’s on a boat!

The Daddios met Tanya Vora (https://www.threads.com/@totalllytanya) in person for the first time at the Columbus show earlier this month, but she and Glen have been online mutuals (a word Ricky hates for some reason) for a while now after bumping into each other on Threads.It's a relatively short episode since Ricky had a meeting at his kid's school and Glen had his autism assessment redux right after recording. (Results in a few weeks, and there's no way he doesn't talk about.)We talk about the Columbus comedy scene, creating content (another word Ricky hates, but the reasons are pretty clear) that you're interest in creating, and more.We also talked about hot Lenny Bruce was, so if you want to participate in the Spotify poll, do that wherever that happens. I have the option to create polls when doing these notes, but truly don't know where they go after that.Anyway, Tanya's great!

Ricky had a hot date and Glen's in Rochester so we recorded a little late this week. We talk our recent Columbus trip and how Glen Tickle Tries to Be a Person's been going as part of the ESL Rochester Fringe Festival.

This episode, like Glen's ADHD medication, has a delayed release.The Daddios chat with Nerd Nite Big Boss Matt Wasowski about how he started Nerd Nite. What Nerd Nite is (and isn't) and Glen floats the idea that it's rude to comment on social media.

Jim Tews joins the Daddios to talk about his special Jim Tews With Pictures, adding art to comedy, and Cleveland.Watch Jim's special on his YouTube channel:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIrOEshft5g

This week the Daddios talk Frankenstein, being sick of doing poorly run shows, the complicated state of the comedy industry, and Glen talks about his return to hosting Nerd Nite Lehigh Valley and doing comedy in a science center.

Glen's back from his latest cruise gig that had him sailing directly towards Hurricane Erin. Ricky signs some blu-rays as Sweet Meats heads to a horror con. The boys discuss song licensing and the best ways to use a limited budget.There's also some good and actionable parenting advice in this. I know. We were surprised too.

It's our post-Joel recap from last week's live. Glen's in the ocean. Ricky's cleaning up his act. Let's party.

The Daddios welcome their pal Joel Byars to the show. Joel's the host of the Hot Breath podcast, and a guy who's come up pretty frequently in conversation on the show before.You guys are never going to believe this but we talk to him about clean comedy.Sorry we're a day late. Minor family emergency and then a day of driving to Ohio. We still love you and it's not your fault.

Ricky goes to a Pickle Party. Glen shares his champagniest of champagne problems. Ricky pulls out of a downward spiral thanks to Albert Brooks. Glen still hates Reed Richards even though he liked Fantastic Four: First Steps.

Ricky's Childhood pal and frequent listener to the show Mike Flinchum joins us to talk about why it's his fault Ricky does comedy now.Glen Talks about meeting a few of his heroes like his new friend Buckaroo Banzai director WD Richter!Tell all your friends to listen.Glen's doing Glen Tickle Tries to Be a Person at the Rochester Fringe Festival September 18-20! Tickets at glentickle.com

We're chatting with Shawn Braley from Commonwealth Comedy Club in beautiful Dayton, Kentucky about his origins in comedy and what club owners look for in comics.Ricky also spends a lot of time apologizing for breaking one of comedy's few actual rules!

Glen's back from Mexico! Since there's no guest this week, The Daddios really dig in on the results of Glen's autism assessment, which we touched on in our last two episodes, but Glen didn't want to dwell on it with Chuck and Hannah.Long story short; it's all kind of bullshit. The upside of this mess is that it's helped Glen with his new hour of standup.

The Daddios welcome Hannah Romes of the Hashtag Comedy Club in beautiful Colombus, Ohio to talk about performing, running a venue, and what she likes to see in comics today.

Remember a few weeks ago when we talked about Chuck Tingle? Well we've got him on the show this week. Glen's surprised too.We talk personas, character, neurodiversity, and creating art for yourself or an audience.Check out all of Chuck Tingle's works and goings on including his new book Lucky Day over on his website.https://www.chucktingle.com/Still can't believe this friggin happened.

Ricky recounts a harrowing tale of his childhood battle with Spider-Man and a lousy babysitter before finally letting Glen talk about his Alaska cruise adventure.Glen admits to be more willing to fly in an homemade airplane built by a listener than to get back on a commercial flight, and Ricky secured some unbelievable guests for next week.

Glen's back from Alaska and Ricky's back from Chicago, but WILL THEY EVER RETURN!?The Daddios talk about the confusing fallout of Ricky's weekend of shows in Chicago trying out a new format, and Glen briefly mentions the cruise and his official autism assessment, but those will be covered more next week.You can watch Ricky's (very good) Friday night set from Chicago on his youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1reZ7O-mvj8

It's part two of our exciting cliffhanger episode! Recorded immediately after last week's episode because Glen is on a cruise to Alaska.Ricky puts a hex on Glen and dooms him to become the Captain America of 2125, but since Glen handles the backend of this show, this episode is coming out regardless of what happens to him on the trip.Would Glen be a more revered comedian if something happens on his trip? Do we revere dead comedians more because they're dead?Is Ricky The Ultimate Bad Boy™️ of comedy?Glen still hasn't watched The Pee-Wee Herman documentary because he's not emotionally ready, but it made Ricky question his approach to performance.Glen talks more about autism assessments after a recent episode of Nathan Fielder's The Rehearsal Season 2.

Hey there daddios, this week we got the first of a two-parter!It was bound to happy eventually given that the show is hosted by two working comedians, but we can't record next week because Glen is off to Alaska for a cruise gig. We're splitting this week's episode into two.Glen's back in the shed where he did virtual shows from during lockdown. Ricky defends with Axe body spray addiction, and talks about an actor he worked with years ago with a huge hog, all while the Daddios figure out which one of them is Tommy and which one is Dickie Smothers.

The Daddios welcome their pal Tristan Miller who just released a new special about mental health called Manic Impressive (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8vF5cXpxHCI)Ricky and Glen talk about their recent Daddio Tour dates, and everyone shares their most controversial Star Wars opinions before Ricky and Tristan team up against Glen, the only one on the podcast with correct Star Wars opinions.

Oh boy! If you listen to this the day it comes out, there's still time to get to Minerva Ohio for The Daddio Tour! Then we're off to McKee's Rocks, PA followed by The Emmaus Theatre in Emmaus, PA!Minerva and McKees will feature special guest Matt King! He's also the guest on this week's show! In a first for us, neither Daddios knew Matt before the episode, but we had a great time and we're looking forward to working with him in this weekend!If you're used to watching the video wherever you're getting your podcasts, you'll have to check Glen's YouTube channel for a live replay. We had a glitch with Riverside this week so we couldn't upload directly from there. Such is life.

A not clean episode of the show where The Daddios try to figure out what is the point of "clean" comedy. Glen suspects there's something else besides people not wanting to hear bad words on stage, so he took to Threads to ask clean comedy fans what they like about it.The Daddios talk about their conflicted feelings about being labeled as "clean" even though they usually are anyway.

Whoa baby the Daddios gettin deep this week while they talk about the nature of belief. That sounds made up, but it's true. Also people hitting a certain level of fame and success makes Glen less interested in them (so Ricky's probably safe) and Ricky gives Glen a chance to talk about Jurassic Park and dinosaurs. (He would have anyway.)The Daddio Tour is getting ever closer!

No guest this week and even though The Shadow is bad it comes up a lot. It's a lot of comic book chat this week and then Glen finally gets to bring up his topic in the last few minutes of the side.
