A friend of mine was out to dinner with his fiancee in Albany on Thursday night and out of nowhere they faced an interesting coronavirus-related dilemma.  Neither one of the soon-be-married couple has any of the flu-like symptoms related the pandemic, but they did face a moment where their involunta…

I'm a guy.  I watch a lot of sports.  I like to eat chicken wings and pizza.  I don't have a flat stomach and I could definitely stand to lose a few pounds.  I like to gamble and play poker, I get annoyed easily, hate small-talk, and occasionally check out Instagram mod…

I had a chance to sit down with my son and his classmates last week at school to get their thoughts on kindness and friendship.  Many people loved this segment.  It showed the true purity and innocence of 4 and 5-year-old's and perhaps there was something for us adults to learn here.  Plus, it was f…

In the latest installment of Voicemails from Mama, a very peculiar thing has been happening to my mom and dad.  There have been changes to their cable bill resulting in hundred of dollars of premium charges that my dad claims to know nothing about.  My mother however, has other thoughts after disclo…

They say "when you gotta go, you gotta go" and we've all been there before.  When nature calls and you're not going to make it home, you just hope that the gas station or pizza shop bathroom has been cleaned out in the past few weeks.  A parking lot, for me anyway,  would probably not be m…

It's gotten to the point now where anytime my mama leaves me a voicemail on my cell, I'm oddly excited for what could possibly come next.  In the latest edition of 'Voicemails From Mama', she leaves me a message complaining (and is utterly disgusted) by Papa Codes' eati…

Some local residents at an apartment complex in Niskayuna have already had their dog swabbed for DNA purposes, others downright refuse, and some dog owners feel like they're part of some sort of prank.
As many as three local apartment complexes in the area are attempting (or have already started) to …

Chic-Fil-A, Popeye's, Hattie's Chicken Shack...these days everyone has an opinion about who has the best chicken sandwich.  We thought we could have some fun doing a prank phone asking a local 'foodie' to help us determine who has the best one of them all.  We called Alexa in Latham and asked her to…

It's been chronicled many times on the show that there's a divide in my parents household when it comes to politics.
