I talk about not wanting to go to the "Black Chipotle," getting COVID twice, the proper way to write an obituary, Lighthouse Spaceship & card tricks, bald guy hair maintenance, and how I am no good at reacting to getting a traffic ticket...

#378: Don’t Call It a Comeback…

Nov 6th, 2022 49m 59s

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 expertis

PILLBOX: The Wish Book

Nov 16th, 2020 53m 36s

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

Nov 1st, 2020 1h 9m

(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

Oct 26th, 2020 54m 7s

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.

I drove to Arizona with my eyes closed and slept with my eyes open...

#376: Somethin’s (Almost) Bruin

Nov 18th, 2019 44m 16s

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?)

Nov 11th, 2019 1h 4m

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?”)

May 9th, 2019 49m 24s

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

Apr 1st, 2019 38m 50s

I was trying to network...

#372: The Fix Is In

All I wanted was to get some frozen yogurt on a Saturday night, and maybe get my daughter's phone fixed.

#371: The Wrong Waze Back

Jan 11th, 2019 54m 25s

We went to Arizona on Christmas Day and our daughter wished for snow. Silly girl...

#370: A Fairly Special Bitterest Pill (2018)

Dec 17th, 2018 1h 4m

This is sort of a reprise of Hudson's first appearance on the podcast way back in 2004. In this episode, like back then, we talk Christmas music, except now his voice is much deeper (and apparently so is mine).

#369: Mayday, Mayday!

Dec 6th, 2018 42m 23s

We discuss my work on a new sports podcast (no, that is not a typo), sexy old ladies and getting punched in the face...

PILLBOX #242: The Bully Brigade

Oct 15th, 2018 45m 41s

(April 2011) My daughter got slapped in the face at school by one of her friends. Then, the next day, a couple of boys tried to test her karate skills […]

PILLBOX #241: Made From Stuff on Earth

Oct 8th, 2018 1h 4m

I tell a story about having to drive to Burbank to buy a telescope on the same day I had lunch with my old college friend the celebrity priest. I hit a lot of traffic on the way to lunch, so the trip to a lot longer than I expected. Or could

#368: “The Perv”

Oct 3rd, 2018 39m 8s

I ended up writing, directing and starring in a short called "The Perv." You know what every great heist needs? A crew...

#367: Northbound for Season3

Aug 25th, 2018 1h 8m

I went to Upper Michigan to do some acting I've been looking forward to for years. Don't worry, I'm still an idiot. An idiot who apparently isn't sure he can function outside the sprawl of endlessly repeating chain stores and Starbucks that is
