    Sep 25 2026
    The very funny and "strikingly young" W. Kamau Bell stopped by the Chaz and AJ studio to share stories from his career, including how he got discovered by Chris Rock, why people keep mistaking him for Questlove, and what it was like winning Celebrity Jeopardy!

    Then it was time to put that trivia reputation on the line. Kamau squared off against the Tribe before fellow Jeopardy! contestant Lydia Sekscwnski joined the fun for a trivia showdown worthy of a Daily Double.

  • Pod Pick: Caitlin Yardley On The Race To Control AI
    Sep 24 2026
    Is AI about to change the world... or end it? AI expert Caitlin Yardley joined Chaz and AJ for a fascinating and sometimes unsettling conversation about the future of artificial intelligence, including why some experts believe it is a "race across a cliff" and why the next few years could be the most important in tech history.
    Caitlin shared insights from the recent Pro-Human Conference in Washington, D.C., where political rivals found rare common ground on AI concerns, discussed reports of AI companies expanding into areas like biology research, and explained why experts are warning that we're in a race to make sure technology develops safely. She also talked about The AI Doc, the new Netflix documentary featuring some of the world's leading AI minds, and why she believes there's still time for people to help shape what comes next.

  • Monday, September 28: Storm Morons, Scootering Naked, Jennifer's Toe Injury, Chaz's Cowboys Rant
    Sep 28 2026

    Every storm, Chaz and AJ see plenty of evidence of people seeking attention through their behavior. This past Nor'Easter was no different, as morons in kayaks were once again paddling through flooded streets. (0:00)

    In Oklahoma, a man was arrested for riding an electric scooter while completely naked. Chaz and AJ had the fulls news report, which included the hilarious interaction between the man and the arresting officer. (6:33)

    Chaz's wife, Jennifer was on the phone to talk about the injury she sustained during the Nor'Easter, which actually had nothing to do with the storm. The Tribe called in to share their injuries and storm stories, as well. (15:00)

    In Dumb Ass News, Chaz took an opportunity to rant about the Cowboys and Dak Prescott losing, again. (27:30)

    Chaz and AJ revisted the Axl moment from last week; from his silly-sounding isolated vocals, to Tribe member Dean's attempt to order in a similar voice at a drive-thru. (33:42)

  • Friday, September 25: A Grumpy Commander; Ivan Drago; A Jar Of Vegan Mayo
    Sep 25 2026

    AJ handled today's "On the Board" which focused on things that people over the age of 50 should know how to do. (0:00)

    We never know what to expect when we pick up the phone live on the air.. Today we met a party named Sally, who'd been up since 3:30 a.m., enjoyed a little wake-and-bake, and had one mission: explain why people, especially men, need to learn how to clean themselves properly. What followed was a completely unexpected, wildly entertaining call. (20:53)

    In Dumbass News, a road rage story involving a jar of vegan mayo sent Chaz and AJ down memory lane, sharing their own road rage encounters. (30:00)

    Actor Dolph Lundgren joined Chaz and AJ to discuss his new memoir, Fights Worth Fighting: Finding Strength in Struggle, and the incredible journey that's taken him from a chemical engineering student in Sweden to one of Hollywood's most iconic action stars. Dolph shared stories about coming to America, meeting Grace Jones, catching Michael Jackson at the Apollo during a legendary era in music, and landing the career-defining role of Ivan Drago in Rocky IV. He also opened up about his battle with cancer, the challenges he's faced along the way, and the mindset that's helped him keep fighting through it all. (37:35)

    Commander Keith stopped by the studio wearing a shirt so distracting it immediately derailed the conversation. Once everyone recovered from the shirt, Keith unveiled his annual list of the Top 5 Things He Can't Stand About Autumn, including vaping teens at festivals, pumpkin spice everything, and pretty much the entire concept of spooky season. Boo Humbug! (46:11)

  • Thursday, September 24: Florida Man Enters Dumbass News Hall Of Fame; What Everyone Needs To Know By Age 30; Concert Stories
    Sep 24 2026

    A Florida man was given one simple task: take nine steps and say his ABCs during a DUI test. Easy, right? Not if you're aiming for the Dumbass News Hall of Fame. (0:00)

    Remember when turning 30 meant you could confidently navigate adulthood? Chaz and AJ discovered that's no longer a guarantee. Listeners called in with surprisingly basic things people should know how to do by age 30 but somehow never learned, from reading a paper map and addressing an envelope to ordering at a deli counter without looking like they're defusing a bomb. (7:38)

    Live Nation's Jimmy Koplik checked in with Chaz and AJ for a tour through rock history, concert chaos, and some of the wildest stories from his decades in the business. Jimmy discussed the latest buzz on a possible return of Ozzfest, looked back at the legendary first Farm Aid lineup, and recalled the time he somehow wound up in handcuffs at an AC/DC show. Things got even crazier when a conversation about rising country-rock stars Treaty Oak Revival and their beer-soaked crowds led Jimmy to tell the story of the biggest concert mess he's ever dealt with: a full-blown riot at a Rage Against the Machine and Wu-Tang Clan show. (16:19)

  • Pod Pick: Petty Pet Peeves - Return Of The Sidewalk Flossers
    Sep 23 2026
    Today's list of tiny things that somehow trigger giant amounts of rage included tinted car windows, abandoned shopping carts, and everyone's favorite sidewalk menace: discarded floss picks.
    One caller had a theory that we're only noticing all the flossers now because of Chaz's legendary rant about them. Is it a real problem... or has Chaz accidentally started a floss-pick awareness campaign? Either way, listeners unloaded their most ridiculous grievances and proved that sometimes the smallest annoyances drive us the most insane.

  • Wednesday, September 23: DoorDash Detour; What Not To Do In A Job Interview; Robo-Toilets; Waterbury Captive Update
    Sep 23 2026

    A DoorDash delivery took a detour straight into Dumbass News when a hungry customer learned his driver had crashed before making the delivery. Instead of turning around, he grabbed his phone, filmed the scene surrounded by ambulances, and went searching for his food. Because apparently nothing says "hope everyone's okay" quite like, "Yeah, but where's my order?" (0:00)

    Think you're underpaid? You're probably not alone. Anthony Avallone from Reitman, Inc. stopped by the studio to break down the smartest way to ask for a raise, why presentation matters more than people realize, and the one thing you should never bring to a job interview unless you're trying not to get hired.
    Plus, listeners called in with their own workplace stories, including one hiring director who revealed she passed on an almost perfect candidate because of a single red flag---green actually. Turns out landing the job can come down to one small detail... and no, it's not a typo on a resume. (7:53)

    Dumbass News went high-tech today with New York City's new robo-toilets, futuristic public bathrooms that come with one very important feature: they kick you out after 10 minutes. (36:51)

    Attorney Joel Faxon joined Chaz and AJ to discuss a major development in the Waterbury captivity case, as the man known publicly as "S" has been granted access to confidential DCF records that could shed light on what state investigators knew and when they knew it. Attorney Faxon explained what the newly released documents could mean for the case and why this latest ruling could be a significant step forward for the alleged victim. (45:18)
