    Episode 022 | The Davenport Was Never Real

    This week on Good Morning, We’re Dying, Alex hits the road solo(ish) and lands in Bloomington, Indiana — home of IU, eternal road construction, and apparently, cuck chair shortages. While Sam holds down the Michigan fort, Alex is joined by special guest and hilarious Bloomington comic Shanda Sung. Together, they spiral through an hour of chaotic delight covering everything from getting stranded on E to the existential toll of youth sports. Spoiler: It’s mostly just sitting in folding chairs and reconsidering your life choices. Shanda shares the anxiety of comedy road trips where you're running late, running out of gas, and running through gas stations shouting "DO YOU TAKE APPLE PAY?" like a financially frantic action hero. Meanwhile, Alex relives his own parking lot panic and the luxurious amenity void known as a hotel without a cuck chair. The duo then deep-dives into the madness of modern parenting — kids doing year-round baseball, moms hauling stadium chairs like survivalists, and the bleak hilarity of camping with children who think a hot shower and a working toilet are wilderness luxuries. Also: an alarming number of stories involving cane swords, knife guys, and grandparents who hoard couches like precious heirlooms. And don't miss the revelation that Indiana’s top adult search term is just… “cum.” We’re dying.

    Episode 021 | I Took the Train, I Regret Everything

    Sam returns from an eye-opening Illinois trip and a truly cursed Amtrak experience, where a rogue band of CrossFit coaches loudly broadcasted every workplace betrayal, fat-shaming quip, and romantic implosion to an entire train car. Spoiler alert: they were real proud fitness professionals—just not of their clients or their volume control. Meanwhile, Alex shares the life-affirming thrill of replaying The Last of Us Part II as a full-blown shoot-first-ask-never maniac, because sometimes catharsis is best served with a digital flamethrower. The duo spiral delightfully into fungus lore, the pitfalls of silent zombies, and how HBO’s adaptation fumbles the emotional buildup. Also on tap: Sam teaches stand-up again (God help us all), Alex reflects on the existential rot of property maintenance, and the horrors of flooding, warped siding, and skipping school come to light. Bonus: they both reveal their deep-seated sports traumas and questionable adolescent attendance records. This episode has everything—mortality, mold, Michigan mosquitoes, and microdosing vengeance in video game form. So cozy up with your soot-filled lungs and join us for another existentially funny ride. 👻 Subscribe to Good Morning, We're Dying now: https://linktr.ee/gmwdpod📸 Follow Sam on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ragersamantha/📲 Follow Alex on social media: https://linktr.ee/alexbozinovic

    Episode 020 | Buttigieg-Santos 2028

    This week on Good Morning, We're Dying, Alex is joined by comedian Wes Ward in what can only be described as the most off-road episode yet—fitting for a conversation that begins with an impassioned TED Talk about roundabouts. With Sam out, Wes steps in to help explore the cosmic absurdity of traffic design, the futility of comedy gigs during Pride Month, and how Michigan's infrastructure is definitely built with Somerset Mall money. The duo takes a scenic detour into Elon Musk vs. Trump, the bloodsport we didn’t know we needed, but now crave like ketamine at a board meeting. There’s billionaire beef, drug-fueled speculation, and a DTE-sponsored healthcare nightmare scenario that somehow makes sense. If you’re not ready for AI-run comedy clubs and peak-hour chemotherapy pricing, you’re not ready for the future. Other stops along the descent: childhood fights as character development, open mic PTSD, The Rock’s slow transformation into an energy drink mascot, and how George Soros shops like a broke suburban mom. Also, OJ had a TikTok vibe, and yes, he would’ve definitely had a podcast. As always, the episode veers wildly into politics, darkly funny hypotheticals, and the kind of cathartic spiral that feels like watching the world burn from a Michigan meadery. If you’re hoping to hear about how America lost the plot somewhere between 9/11 conspiracy Geocities pages and Pete Buttigieg fan cams, this one's for you. 👉 Subscribe to Good Morning, We're Dying here: https://linktr.ee/gmwdpod👉 Follow Wes Ward on social media: https://linktr.ee/weswardtour👉 Follow Sam Rager on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ragersamantha/👉 Follow Alex Bozinovic on social media: https://linktr.ee/alexbozinovic

    Episode 019 | Fifty Cents a Loaf, Twelve Inches a Log

    Get ready for a medically mysterious, emotionally constipated, and cheesily personal episode of Good Morning, We’re Dying! This week, Sam and Alex dive deep into their evolving relationships with healthcare, technology, and their own intestines. Sam’s caught between X-rays and eyebrow-raising medical records, while Alex hits a milestone with a record-breaking poop and a promising new doctor who knows his way around a butthole—and PrEP.From Jimmy John’s day-old bread to Reagan-era regrets, the duo traces how the past still messes with their guts (and finances). There’s skepticism about AI, admiration for American cheese, and a glimpse into the dystopia that is “Epic Healthcare.” Oh, and did we mention someone took a bowel movement photo worthy of a gallery show?Also in this episode: Sam’s growing rage at being blamed for her own health issues, Alex’s late-career pivot into geriatric care (from the patient side), and the quiet sadness of being completely forgotten by a famous comedian you’ve opened for multiple times.Tune in for toilet humor with heart, software rants with soul, and a reminder that if we’re all dying, we might as well laugh hard and poop harder.👉 Don’t forget to subscribe to Good Morning, We’re Dying by clicking this link:https://linktr.ee/gmwdpodFollow the hosts:Follow Sam on Instagram: www.instagram.com/ragersamanthaFollow Alex on social media: https://linktr.ee/alexbozinovic

    Episode 018 | The Kids’ Show That Went Hard (Too Hard?)

    What if your superpower was an uncontrollable, endlessly elongating penis? No, this isn’t a rejected Marvel plot—it’s the actual premise of John Dillerman, a Danish children’s show that has Sam and Alex in equal parts shock, amusement, and existential confusion. This week, they dive into the absurdity of a middle-aged man whose rogue member causes as much trouble as it fixes. From Wikipedia deep dives to questionable episode plots (his grandmother gives him a shotgun—what could go wrong?), they explore cultural differences, the show’s attempt at “desexualization,” and whether John Dillerman is a misunderstood gem or just plain weird.

    Episode 017 | Chimps Are Violent, Bonobos Are Horny, and We Are Unwell

    Technical difficulties? Of course. Existential dread over malfunctioning cameras? Naturally. Sam and Alex kick off this episode by contemplating whether their recording equipment is a sign from the universe that they should give up—before immediately distracting themselves with nostalgia for weird ‘80s sitcom premises. What was Small Wonder really about? And why does every technological advancement immediately get used for porn? Then, it's time for an impromptu deep dive into the world of apes—because apparently, chimps are actually terrifying, gorillas are misunderstood, and bonobos… well, let’s just say they have a unique way of resolving conflicts. The conversation swings wildly (like a bonobo at an orgy) from animal behavior to AI-generated nightmare fuel. The hosts also reminisce about their school days, covering the anxiety of group projects and the horrors of dissection day. Plus, they break down their personal vendettas against pushy salespeople, discuss the absurdity of reality TV, and get way too excited about the idea of one of them becoming The Mole.

    Episode 016 | This Might Be the Most Depressing Comedy Podcast Yet

    This week, Sam and Alex take a deep dive into the rollercoaster ride of filming a comedy special—because nothing says "we’re living the dream" like overanalyzing crowd reactions and debating the merits of opening with a bit only existing fans will understand. (Will it alienate new viewers? Probably. Will that stop Sam? Absolutely not.) From dissecting the strange power structures of the Detroit comedy scene (where some folks seem to get anointed without earning it) to reminiscing about "poor food" staples like beanie weenies and Bar S hot dogs, this episode has everything: nostalgia, cynicism, and the realization that Alex somehow made it this far in life without knowing about canned beans and cut-up hot dogs. Of course, no episode would be complete without a little political doom-spiraling. The duo takes shots at Elon Musk’s latest questionable decisions, Mark Zuckerberg’s never-ending identity crisis, and the general feeling that everything is spiraling downward at warp speed. But don’t worry—there’s still room for some childhood trauma, questionable fashion choices, and a truly tragic story about a broken arm and a beloved T-shirt. So grab a snack (preferably one that costs less than $2), tune in, and let’s commiserate. 👉 Subscribe to Good Morning, We’re Dying here: https://linktr.ee/gmwdpod👉 Follow Sam on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ragersamantha/👉 Follow Alex on social media: https://linktr.ee/alexbozinovic

    Episode 015 | We're Dying, But So Is Comedy (w/ Carl Johnson)

    This week, Alex is joined by comedian Carl Johnson, stepping in as guest co-host while Sam is away. Together, they take a hilariously bleak look at the state of stand-up comedy, from the soul-crushing rise of TikTok comics to the way Netflix has become the new Comedy Central (and not in a good way). They commiserate over how social media clout seems to matter more than actual jokes and debate whether true comedy can still thrive in a world obsessed with viral moments. Carl reluctantly embraces his new title as "Male Sam" while he and Alex unpack their anxieties, from the pressures of keeping a podcast alive to the existential dread that lurks behind every punchline. They also dig into gender dynamics in comedy, discussing why so many talented female comics quit due to harassment and whether certain wardrobe choices unfairly impact how women are perceived on stage. Naturally, the conversation spirals into absurd tangents—Oakland County’s weird relationship with ice, political delusions, and a truly bizarre statistic about white dudes and online porn. Plus, Alex overshares his, uh, unique pre-show ritual, proving that comedy is all about timing…and maybe a little bit about digestive health.
