Radio Labyrinth

This week on Radio Labyrinth Tim is out sick, but the rest of the gang dives headfirst into the latest failed prophecy: The Rapture That Wasn’t. Apparently, September 23, 2025, was supposed to be the big day. People were selling cars, homes, and cashing out like Blockbuster stock in 2010. But—spoiler alert—we’re all still here. So why do people keep falling for these very specific “end of the world on Tuesday at 4pm” prophecies? We break down the history of doomsday predictions, from Harold Camping’s 2011 miss to the Millerites’ “Great Disappointment” of 1844, to Heaven’s Gate and Hale-Bopp, to secular versions like Y2K and the 2012 Mayan calendar scare. It’s always the same pattern: finite, dramatic, and always a letdown.

This week on Radio Labyrinth Podcast we’re joined by two very special guests: Ronnie Neeley, host of the Dancing is Forbidden podcast, and Matt Maiellaro, co-creator of Aqua Teen Hunger Force and co-host of MeatKingdom. We talk about Aqua Teen, MeatKingdom, Ronnie’s work chronicling the ATHF universe, and their brand-new animated project in the works. As you’d expect, the line between “serious” and “not-so-serious” gets blurry—but that’s half the fun.

This week on Radio Labyrinth Podcast, we welcome Dan Pasternack — producer, historian, and lifelong comedy fan — for a wide-ranging conversation about his career and some incredible projects he’s bringing to audiences in 2025. Dan is currently on the road with the Airplane! Live Tour, celebrating the legendary parody classic with screenings and stories. He’s also behind the John Candy: I Like Me documentary with Ryan Reynolds, which is hitting the road for special events, and later this year he’ll be touring Stand By Me with the surviving cast to mark its enduring legacy. Beyond his producing work, Dan is a serious comedy collector with over 500 autographed comedy albums in his archive — a passion we dive into along with plenty of behind-the-scenes tales from his unique career.

This week on Radio Labyrinth Podcast, we welcome actor John Kapelos — a true legend of film and television. You know him as Carl the Janitor in The Breakfast Club, Dino in Weird Science, and Rudy in Sixteen Candles. Beyond his John Hughes classics, John takes us back to his early days at Second City Chicago, his hilarious work on SCTV, and of course his unforgettable turn on Seinfeld as Barry the Sniffing Accountant. We also hear the story of how he accidentally insulted Emilio Estevez to his face on the set of The Breakfast Club, plus plenty more behind-the-scenes stories from his career spanning movies, TV, and comedy stages.

This week in the Labyrinth we’re joined by an incredible guest — and a family connection! Guitarist Browan Lollar from St. Paul and The Broken Bones drops by to talk about their upcoming self-titled album (out October 10th). Browan is also the younger brother of our own Dustin Lollar, so we get some fun family stories along the way. Plus, Tim and Browan dive into some Frank Zappa talk, influences, and what it’s like balancing band life with side projects (including Browan’s surf rock outfit Tsar Bomba). If you’re a fan of Southern soul, psychedelic grooves, and stories from the road — this one’s for you. Watch the show on YouTube: https://youtu.be/htimVveCrjk

This week’s episode of Trambles is all Meeeeee, with six Es. Meeeeee discusses the Cracker Barrel logo controversy, the Robert Downey Jr. vs. Ryan Reynolds rumor, and the latest episode of Dexter: Resurrection. 

We’re joined by Dungeon Crawler Carl creator Matt Dinniman and legendary audiobook narrator Jeff Hays! From self-publishing to bestsellers, TV adaptations, Dragon Con, and the voices behind Carl & Donut—this is the definitive DCC interview.

The end of Dell Dump! Or not. Meeeeee with her Dexter recap, and Tim trambles a little. 

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we’re celebrating a little recognition—we made the list! That’s right, we’re officially #57 on Million Podcast’s list of the 100 Best TV Show Podcasts! Big thanks to everyone who listens, watches, shares, and supports the show. We’re also digging into the endgame for The Boys as filming wraps for the final season. What does that mean for the future of Vought, Butcher, and the Supes? We break down where things left off for both The Boys and Gen V — including Butcher’s virus, Starlight on the run, and Homelander embracing full dictator mode. PLUS:

We’re back in the Labyrinth this week and kicking things off with Season 14 of King of the Hill! The gang dives into the revival’s first episodes — the callbacks, the cameos, the feels — and whether the Netflix run still has that old network sitcom soul. Plus, we ask the big question: if you could update any classic show with the characters aged up, what would you pick? We’ve got ideas for The Sopranos, Married… with Children, The Larry Sanders Show, Freaks and Geeks, and more. In this episode, we also remember and dedicate the show to our dear friend and longtime listener Jeff Lisle — a kind, funny, and truly great man who will be missed dearly. Our thoughts are with his family.

This week: Meeeeee returns with another episode of “America Right Now: Today!” with her theories on what’s going on with Dexter: Resurrection. Spoiler alert! These are some whacked out theories, but she may be onto something. Plus, Tim talks about his weird year living in southern Pennsylvania and working at Bob Evans.

This week in the Labyrinth, we’re taking aim at Happy Gilmore 2—and not just to see if we still "got it." We're talking Easter Eggs, hilarious cameos, and what Netflix got right (and wrong) in their sequel to the cult favorite. Then it’s back to South Park, which somehow manages to roast everyone, from liberals to Lucifer himself. We also say goodbye to three cultural icons:

This week: Dell Dump is confused, Meeeeee dives into the American Eagle/Sydney Sweeney controversy, and Tim talks about comedy & how much he enjoys doing Radio Labyrinth.

This week, we welcome a very special guest into the Labyrinth: the brilliantly funny, razor-sharp, and endlessly insightful Frank Santopadre! Frank’s name may not be as well known as some of the legends he’s worked with, but you’ve definitely laughed at something he’s written. From MAD Magazine to The View, from Topps trading cards to the Kennedy Center Honors, Frank has spent his career writing for—and about—the biggest names in comedy, entertainment, and old-school showbiz. He was the longtime co-creator and co-host of Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast, a true oral history of Hollywood's golden age. Now, Frank returns with a brand-new podcast: Fun For All Ages, a nostalgia-fueled celebration of 20th-century pop culture—from classic toys and cartoons to the stars and stories behind the screen. In this episode, we talk with Frank about: * The origins and legacy of the Amazing Colossal Podcast * What he learned from working with Gilbert Gottfried * His encyclopedic love of TV credits, novelty cand

This week Tim kicks off the show doing his Dusty Slay impression, which bothers him so he starts work-shopping it while listening to the most recent episode of the “We’re Having a Good Time” podcast. Dusty is coming to Atlanta August 9 and Tim’s NOT stoked he has to miss it.  Plus: Tim’s excited to interview Frank Santopadre & talk about Tim’s second-favorite Gilbert: Mr. Gottfried (and Frank’s new podcast, Fun for All Ages. All that plus some radio talk. The biz, the air game, broadcasting and whatnot. 

We’re back in the Labyrinth and things are getting… sharp.

Short episode this week. Dell Dump updates us on Linda Smith’s fate, an Ai song, Gilbert’s radio show, and welcome back Frank Santopadre to the podcast universe. 

We’re back in the Labyrinth this week and taking flight with James Gunn’s Superman (2025)! With the Man of Steel soaring back into theaters, we revisit the legendary lineup of Superman actors, TV shows, movies, villains, and more. Who wore the cape best? Who made us believe a man could fly? And just how many times can Lex Luthor escape prison?

This week show opens up with a teaser for the next installment of Dell Dump. Tim recaps his bachelor weekend, hanging out on the Fourth of July, seeing Caleb Synan with Jeff, Lizzie and Jones, and more. Meeeeee returns with America Right Now: Today, covering her freakish nightmares, Epstein, Superman and psychedelic drugs. 

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we head back in time to revisit one of the most iconic films of all time. Released July 3, 1985, Back to the Future launched a trilogy that helped define a generation—and we're unpacking its legacy, the cast’s careers, and why this Gen X touchstone still hits hard in 2025. Would Marty even travel to 1955 today... or maybe 1995? Dustin brings a Back to the Future Trivia Game packed with deep cuts—no softball questions here. Plus, we compare the epic Summer of ‘85 box office to the current Summer of ‘25 lineup and get nostalgic for DeLoreans, VHS tapes, and hoverboards.
