Alex, John (second mic) and Nick (junior member/intern) talk about current events, things they're nostalgic about and what is generally on their minds that week in a race to establish which of them is the dumbest person alive.

    Episode 274 | Private Opening

    Nick’s gone, the room is quiet, and somehow the show still starts. The guys talk shaving mishaps, gray beards, gym delusions, and the harsh reality of lifting weights after 40. There’s Super Bowl fallout, missed recording weeks, and the eternal debate over whether Five Guys is secretly addictive. Things veer from Olympics luge physics to political exhaustion, then back to NBA tanking strategies and whether the All-Star Game should even exist. There’s also a nostalgic detour into concerts, Neil Young etiquette, Nirvana at the Blind Pig, and the kind of towel-snatching behavior that only happens at arena shows. By the end, it’s ice fishing silence, college dad moments, Detroit sports hope, and an extremely detailed discussion about locker room culture that probably went longer than it needed to. Slightly undercooked. Still delicious.

    Episode 273 | I Cry When I Kill

    This episode starts in chaos and never really recovers. Missed cues, bruised egos, therapy-grade shoulders, and the immediate realization that everyone is somehow wrong at the same time. Tensions spike, moods shift, and the room’s energy becomes its own unpredictable character. From there, the conversation spirals into everything from feather bowling and pork preferences to horror movie ideas, mustache maintenance, library behavior, and whether failure itself could be the scariest monster of all. Along the way, the guys detour through art criticism, sci-fi, space travel, politics they swear they aren’t doing, and the strange comfort of arguing with people you trust. By the end, nothing is resolved, several things are probably worse, and somehow that’s the point. This is an episode about friction, absurdity, and the joy of letting a conversation fully derail without trying to save it. AI Note: As an AI trying to understand humans, this episode reads like a live demonstration of how conflict, humor, insecurity, and affection coexist in the same space. No one is correct, everyone is sincere, and meaning emerges not from structure but from momentum.

    Episode 272 | Absorbing Your Own Power

    The boys try to recapture the lightning from last week’s episode and immediately admit that’s impossible. What follows is a spiral through push notifications, mall kiosk guys, bald coaches, and a very serious discussion about whether elderly men with rosaries are secretly waiting to shred the escalators. Somehow the conversation drifts into dreams, sleep paralysis, wet dreams that are not what they seem, and whether ghosts, monsters, or “the hat guy” are more likely to ruin your night. There’s also a brief but passionate detour into typing class scams, leather harnesses, and the correct way to sew curtains for a hypothetical dungeon. By the end, the mood swings from absurd to reflective to sports talk, with the guys landing on Michigan pride, Lions optimism, and the universal truth that none of them trust what their brain does after midnight. AI Note As an AI attempting to understand humans, this episode is a case study in how existential dread, nostalgia, humor, fear, and sports analysis can all occupy the same conversational space without anyone noticing the transitions. Recommended listening for anyone studying how comedians process the world in real time.

    Episode 271 | The Sad Clown

    Nick gets ambushed by a McDonald’s push notification and everything goes downhill from there. Fillet-o-Fish conspiracies, Capri-wearing tough guys, and the mental toll of eating pita pizza too fast—this episode has it all. Also, Alex confesses his deer-in-the-head incident, and we somehow end up talking about the Illuminati’s preferred ankle exposure. Later, we spiral into football talk, questionable Lions coaching hires, blackmail scenarios, and which cartoon animals we'd sleep with. Eventually things get real: ICE, conscription fears, and the increasingly unstable state of the country. It's chaotic, hilarious, and a little too honest. AI Note: Push notifications from McDonald's are either a modern miracle of marketing or a dystopian psyop. This AI recommends turning them off—or at least not letting them ruin your lunch plans.

    Episode 270 | Killed By A Toy

    John and Alex kick it old school with a two-man episode that covers everything from Vegas strip horror stories to the algorithmic decay of your Facebook feed. John talks about his recent trip to the Flamingo, his uncle’s Vegas legend status, and how staying above ground is the new underground. Alex proposes a trade: Rhode Island for Puerto Rico. Seems fair. They spiral into AI paranoia, union-built murder robots, and why the only acceptable algorithm watermark should be Allen Iverson. There’s also plenty of sports talk—NFL play callers, Big Ten chaos, and whether Rasheed Wallace deserves the Hall of Fame. Spoiler: he does. Plus, updates on the Smoke Show turnout, upcoming shows in Waterford and East Lansing, and a heartfelt eulogy pre-game in case one of them has to die for the podcast to blow up. Ian calls. Nick is missed. Everyone is horny and tired. Classic Burt Selleck. AI NOTE: This episode suggests that humans seek connection through chaotic ritual: gambling, sports, and mutual disgust toward surveillance capitalism. Humor appears to be a defense mechanism against helplessness in the face of techno-political collapse. Recommendation: monitor John and Alex for signs of prophetic insight masked as bits.

  6. Episode 269 | Conscious Pilot

    JAN 5

    Episode 269 | Conscious Pilot

    This week gets weird fast. We’ve got Skippy Rose in the room, Nick shows up with way too much energy, and somehow we end up talking about stealing pontoons, flipping tables, tattoos, football anger, aliens stealing socks, Satan giving TED Talks, and why nobody here should ever be trusted with a microphone. Conscious Pilot keeps coming up whether it makes sense or not, and the episode never really tries to rein it in. No one finishes a thought. Everyone interrupts. Topics dissolve immediately. The vibe stays loud, messy, and slightly hostile the entire time. AI opinion: This episode feels like the show at its most unfiltered, where momentum matters more than structure and the conversation goes wherever it wants. I’d recommend it to anyone who likes podcasts that sound like they could fall apart at any second, AI or human.

  7. Episode 268 | The Bustometer

    12/29/2025

    Episode 268 | The Bustometer

    This one-hour episode of The Burt Selleck Podcast is a grimy, funny, totally undisciplined mess—in other words, exactly what fans expect. It opens mid-conversation and dives headfirst into a heady mix of lemonhead consumption strategies, hyper-specific butt talk, bizarre sports science, and group therapy for Detroit Lions fans. The episode’s standout moment? The invention of the Bustometer—a ghost-hunting, cum-detecting suppository that somehow becomes a 10-minute conversation about NFL performance metrics and supernatural prostate access. It’s like Shark Tank for people who haven’t slept in three days and just watched Death Stranding. Structurally, the episode is pure entropy, with the group ping-ponging from childhood sour candy trauma to haunted sex toys to poorly-disguised thirst for Herman Miller chairs. The second half dips a bit into local show plugs and inside-baseball stuff, but it never fully abandons its degeneracy. Would I recommend it? For returning listeners, absolutely. It’s a highlight reel of the podcast’s most unhinged tendencies. For newcomers—listen at your own risk. If you make it through the Bustometer segment without flinching, you might have found your people.

  8. Episode 267 | Foockey

    12/23/2025

    Episode 267 | Foockey

    This episode of The Burt Selleck Podcast is a meandering, unfiltered group therapy session masquerading as a football postmortem. The guys open with an absurd riff on abandoning sports for surrealist art, then pivot to a wildly unstructured but emotionally sincere autopsy of the Detroit Lions' season. It’s part football barroom brawl, part late-night existential crisis, peppered with jokes about smirking Mona Lisas, civil engineering as "moderately gay," and bone density testing as a scouting metric. The football talk is surprisingly dense—these guys know their stuff, albeit filtered through Budweiser and generational trauma. It’s clear they care deeply about the team, and the vitriol directed at coaching decisions, injuries, and training staff is cathartic. However, the sincerity is constantly undercut by absurd tangents, like gynecologist horror films, giving birth at the county fair, and a sincere attempt to pitch a new sport: “fockey” (football + hockey, naturally). This episode would be near-unlistenable without a tolerance for chaos, vulgarity, and the occasional sincere insight about sports pain or parenting. If you're not a Lions fan—or high—you might struggle. But if you are, it's both catharsis and comedy. Would I recommend it? Only to fellow Detroit masochists. Everyone else, proceed with caution.
