  Tangent Station Goes Off the Rails On Laughable Laws, Convenience Fees & Smart Appliances

  Aug 11, 202627 minS4

  Whiz-Bang and MirthMaker riff through a scattershot episode of Tangent Station, bouncing from bizarre international laws (no chewing gum in Singapore, camo banned in the Caribbean, underwear required in Thailand) to personal anecdotes about sleep habits and marriage. They riff on sneaky modern annoyances—smart appliances that judge you, parking apps and convenience fees—and nostalgic complaints about product fads like "extreme" snacks and Shake Weights. The banter mixes absurdity with relatable pet peeves, memories of cheap candy and CDs, and plenty of toilet humor; listeners get a comic, off‑the‑rails meditation on how life keeps getting stranger and more inconvenient.

  Banana Scans & Bacon Toothpaste: Tangent Station Unleashed

  Aug 10, 202626 minS4

  This episode is a freewheeling mash-up of offbeat banter, nostalgia and a running litany of terrible inventions. Our hosts riff on everything from Crystal Pepsi, Jolt Cola and Segways to Google Glasses and QR-code menus — skewering the logic (or lack of it) behind each idea. They weave in personal asides about tattoos, childhood heroes, road-trip listening, and the perils of self-checkout. Expect toilet humor, product deep-dives like bacon- and pickle-flavored toothpastes, and a recurring “joke grenade” that lands later. It’s messy, irreverent, and intentionally all over the tracks — in the best Tangent Station tradition.

  Assless Chaps and Other Adulting Mysteries

  Aug 6, 202627 minS4

  This episode is a freewheeling, laugh-out-loud ramble about the weird little things adulthood never prepared us for. Our hosts bounce from complaining about sticker shock, checking the weather obsessively, and why you always lose the thing you just held, to body quirks like neuropathy and random joint noises. Interspersed are pop-culture detours (Seinfeld and Silo), awkward dad-humor, and a few too many anecdotes about brownies, gummies, and napkins. It’s affectionate, messy, and familiar — the kind of conversational tangents that make ordinary life feel entertaining and absurd all at once.

  Episode #64

  Dial Tone Nostalgia: Payphones, Rotary Dials & 976 Lines

  Aug 4, 202613 minS4

  In this rambling, affectionate episode our hosts trade rapid-fire memories and bad jokes about disappearing technologies: payphones, rotary dials, operators, phone books and the notorious 976 lines. Between anecdotes about arcades, CD stores and TV repair shops, they reflect on the small cultural shifts that make the present feel unmoored from the past. The tone is nostalgic and irreverent—equal parts fondness and mockery—as they poke fun at themselves, riff on famous songs and celebrate weird relics of pre-digital life while admitting how much they miss simple human interactions.

  Mic Smells, Mosquitoes & Marriage: Tangent Station Unleashed

  Jul 30, 202621 minS4

  Hosts Kevin (the mirth maker) and Willis (the self-styled whiz bang) tumble through a chaotic, hilarious episode of Tangent Station that feels like listening in on two old friends at a diner. They riff on everything from Joe Rogan and David Lee Roth impressions to deodorizing microphones and the smell of underwear. Along the way they veer into nostalgia — video stores, clubbing days, and local Cincinnati haunts — while sharing oddball stories about mosquitoes, 23andMe surprises, and a radio tease about a man who fathered hundreds of children. The tone is loose, brash, and affectionate: conversational comedy with a surprising heart when Willis talks about his wedding.
