What unique twist does Laser Stories bring to weird news?
Another podcast from some SNL late-night comedy guy? Not quite! On Humor Me with Robert Smigel and Friends, me and hilarious guests from Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman help make you funnier. This week, my guests, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer Streeter Seidel, help an acapella band with their between-songs banter. Where does your group perform? We do some retirement homes. Those people are starving for banter. Listen to Humor Me with Robert Smigel and friends on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal but encouraged. It's the Enhanced Games. Some call it grotesque. Others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year.
Within probably 10 days, I put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth. Listen to Superhuman on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. My mother-in-law spent years sabotaging our relationship until karma made her pay for it. She moved in for two weeks, lasted five days, left a mess, and then pressed her ear against their bedroom door and burst in screaming. When kicked out to a hotel, she called her son-in-law's workplace, pretending his partner had been rushed to the hospital by ambulance. faked a medical emergency? And spoiler, that was just the beginning. To find out how it ends, listen to the OK Storytime podcast on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
On the Look Back At It podcast.
1979, that was a big moment for me. 84 was big to me.
I'm Sam Jay.
And I'm Alex English.
Each episode, we pick a year, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. With our friends, fellow comedians, and favorite authors. Like Mark Lamont Hill on the 80s.
84 was a wild year.
What is the Enhanced Games and how does it challenge traditional sports?
I don't think there's a more important year for black people.

Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor IV. You might have seen the skits, my basketball and college football journey, or my career in sports media. Well, now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.
This is a place for raw, unfiltered conversations with athletes, creators, and voices that not only deserve to be heard, but celebrated. So let's get to it. Listen to The Clifford Show on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
And for more behind the scenes, follow at Clifford and at TikTok Podcast Network on TikTok. It's the radio segment that's going viral with a first-ever office supply condiment mashup. Introducing the mayonnaise glue stick. Technically, it's not edible, but it looks close. So, why not take a lick while you're doing that art project? Oh, come on. You ate glue as a child. What's the difference? Hey, glue is delicious. Mayonnaise is gross. Oh, sorry. It is Laser Stories. The segment where we read weird news stories around the globe just like everyone else does, except we've got a laser. Those other lick sticks just don't. This first Laser Story is out of Florida. The Coral Springs Police Department received multiple calls of a man in his 40s behaving erratically.
According to 911, the guy was ripping off his clothes, lying down in a parking lot, and banging on plywood. But it's Florida, so is that erratic?
How did a mother-in-law's actions create family drama?
Well, one report even saw him stumbling through an alley and running in front of moving vehicles, forcing at least one driver to swerve off the road to avoid hitting him. That was nice of them. Yeah. What a bold move. Just keep going straight. So when police showed up, they found 41-year-old Charles Robert Strom stumbling around, and he was very clearly drunk. Officers asked him to contact a family member in hopes that someone could come and pick him up. So Charles complied with the officer, took off his shoe, and used it in an attempt to call his mom.
