    Dildo Cornhole and my 4th Flooded Basement

    This week's episode is a masterclass in human stupidity, and we are HERE for it. We dig deep into the dildo-throwing protest movement — not just the headlines, but the origins, the strategy (if you can call it that), and what it says about a society that has completely lost the plot. Spoiler: it says a lot. Then we pivot to a guy who thought the best way to beat Spirit Airlines was to duct-tape raw meat to his torso. Was he wrong? Was he a genius? We'll let you decide. (He was wrong.) But first — KB survived a 300-year flood. Again. For the fourth time. With a broken garage door spring, a locked-in car, and a Home Depot rental line that tested his morality. Did he give up the last carpet fan to his neighbor? Absolutely not. Was he an ass? He doesn't think so. You might disagree. This is the news commentary show that doesn't apologize for laughing at the dumb things people do — because someone has to. Real stories, zero filter, maximum sarcasm, and the kind of takes your favorite radio host would drop if they had nothing left to lose. New episode every week. Hit Follow and never miss a moment of the unemployed chaos

    PGA Pro Mark Wilson + The Mom Who Put an End to New Math

    PGA Tour winner Mark Wilson goes inside Augusta National to reveal what the Masters course is REALLY like — and KB drops one of his funniest Life Coach segments yet on a disastrous $220 date gone wrong. On Day 120 of KB's unemployment journey, this Masters Week special delivers an exclusive sit-down with five-time PGA Tour champion and SiriusXM golf analyst Mark Wilson, who breaks down Augusta National's notorious greens, the elevation surprises, Magnolia Lane emotions, and whether Scottie Scheffler is truly the Tiger Woods of this era. KB kicks things off with a hilarious tribute to the lost glory of metal spikes on asphalt — a nostalgia trip every golfer over 40 will feel in their soul. Then it's National Zoo Day, which somehow leads to an absolutely brilliant bit about why you can never lose an Amish kid at the Milwaukee County Zoo. Trust us, it tracks. Then KB goes full Life Coach mode on a TikToker named Squash whose date ordered $220 surf and turf with caviar, ate exactly three bites, pushed the plate away, and then lost her mind when he asked for a box. KB's verdict? Cheap at twice the price. Back to golf — Mark Wilson debates LIV vs. PGA Tour, the rise of the TGL indoor golf league, the greatest shots in Masters history (Bubba Watson's hook gets the nod), and who he's picking to slip on the green jacket this year: Xander Schauffele. KB closes with a bombshell: he just landed his dream retirement job as a starter at Erin Hills — home of five USGA championships. Not bad for an unemployed guy.

    Did the Unabomber Predict the Future? His Manifesto vs. Modern Society

    Did a domestic terrorist accidentally predict the future? On this April Fool's Day edition of KB's Unemployed Show, KB digs into the surprising — and unsettling — accuracy of Ted Kaczynski's 1995 manifesto, Industrial Society and Its Future. Spoiler: this is not a joke. After watching Netflix's Mindhunter, KB was inspired to actually read the Unabomber's manifesto — and found himself floored by how much of it maps onto today's society. Political correctness, over-socialization, social division, government dependency, and the erosion of the family unit — Kaczynski wrote about all of it decades before it became daily headlines. KB reads key excerpts and lets you decide what to make of it. KB makes it crystal clear: he does not condone, advocate, or sympathize with anything Ted Kaczynski did. This is a discussion of ideas — not the man. Also on today's show: the Artemis II moon mission launches (and why aren't more people talking about it?), Tiger Woods steps back citing health and family, Pizza Hut Canada drops a hot dog stuffed crust that puts America to shame, and KB investigates "Meaties" — a ground beef breakfast cereal that might be the greatest April Fool's hoax ever pulled off. ⏱ Chapters & Timestamps 00:00 – Welcome to the April Fool's Edition01:22 – Show Overview: Artemis Moon Launch & the Unabomber Manifesto02:45 – History of April Fool's Day: Ancient Rome to France to Scotland06:00 – Legendary April Fool's Hoaxes: Erupting Volcanoes, BBC Spaghetti & Pi Recalculation10:48 – Meaties: Ground Beef Breakfast Cereal — Genius Hoax or Real Product?15:44 – Artemis II Moon Mission Launch: First Human Spaceflight Beyond Earth's Orbit Since 197219:30 – Tiger Woods Steps Away: DWI, Pain Meds & Seeking Treatment22:43 – Pizza Hut Canada's Hot Dog Stuffed Crust: Why Didn't America Think of This?25:50 – Intro to the Unabomber Manifesto: Why KB Read It & How He Used It in Class29:10 – Reading the Manifesto: Kaczynski on Technology, Societal Disruption & Political Correctness33:34 – Feelings of Inferiority & Over-Socialization: What Kaczynski Got Right42:45 – Protests, Power, and the Drive for Hostility44:35 – Over-Socialization: Shame, Guilt & the University Culture52:00 – Government vs. Family Loyalty: KB's Two-Word Swap That Changes Everything55:00 – Scientists, the Hydrogen Bomb & Edward Teller: Are Experts Really Motivated by Humanity?57:10 – Final Thoughts: Separate the Message from the Messenger01:01:00 – Kenneth's Quote of the Day & Closing Thoughts

    Bad Soups. Bad Drinkers. Bad Decisions.

    Piper the News Girl is back, which means this episode had almost no chance of staying normal. KB and Piper tear through spring break stupidity, cocktail snobbery, cheesesteak opinions, college-life weirdness, and a pile of offbeat stories with the kind of chemistry that turns one topic into ten and all of them into trouble. This episode has everything: bad decisions, drink rules, generational disagreements, random life observations, and strong opinions delivered with absolutely the right amount of sarcasm. If you enjoy funny conversation, sharp banter, and the sense that the show could derail at any moment in the best possible way, press play.

    KB and Piper Talk Britney, Furries, and Stuff That Terrified Us as Kids

    On this episode of KB’s Unemployed Show, KB is joined by Piper for a wide-ranging conversation that somehow connects Britney Spears, bad movie reviews, weird international news, generational nostalgia, and one deeply unsettling shark fact.​ They talk about the ongoing Britney Spears situation and the fallout from the “Free Britney” movement, swap thoughts on recent movies, get sidetracked by reindeer racing and furry culture, and compare the things each generation was told to fear growing up, from quicksand and the Bermuda Triangle to dome lights and Halloween candy panic.​ The episode wraps with Piper’s fun fact of the day: Greenland sharks may live up to 400 years.​ If you like funny conversation, cultural commentary, and smart chaos with a Midwest point of view, this one’s for you.

    Oscar Predictions with Matt Mueller and Piper the News Girl

    KB, Matt Mueller, and Piper the News Girl are diving headfirst into the chaos of Oscars 2026 with a brutally honest preview of Hollywood’s biggest night. From Best Picture predictions and acting snubs to red carpet train wrecks and Academy drama, this episode delivers sharp opinions, spicy movie takes, and the kind of sarcasm award season practically demands. Whether you follow every nominee or just enjoy the annual outrage, this episode covers the biggest debates heading into the ceremony: who should win, who will win, who’s wildly overrated, and which films are getting more prestige than they deserve. Along the way, the crew shares bold predictions, hot takes, and KB’s very questionable method for forecasting Oscar winners. If you love movies, pop culture, and a little awards-season nonsense, this episode is for you.
