The Riff is a semi-informed, fully-opinionated podcast where two middle-aged guys riff on random topics served up by their AI sidekick, Prompt Daddy. We rate our expertise (it’s usually low), fake-promote products that didn’t ask for it, and try not to take ourselves too seriously. It’s part improv, part therapy, mostly nonsense, and all riffed

    Cool Whip, Cranberries, and a Thanksgiving Crunchwrap

    Seeing Less, Sleeping More, Judged Always

    This week, the guys imagine a world where pets leave public reviews, admit that their eyesight and driving abilities peaked in 2007, and debate whether grounding blankets are a wellness breakthrough or a warm placebo.

    Scented Candles and Smothered Children

    It’s soup season and the candles are burning—mostly because Trevor forgot to blow them out. In this episode, the guys dive into the powerful smells of Yankee Candles, the comfort or dislike of soup, and the paranoia of Life360. Because in 2025, even our soup comes with notifications.

    Campfires, Creams, and Colonoscopies

    In this episode, Trevor and Dusty venture into the great outdoors—where the air is fresh, the mistakes are minty, and personal hygiene gets weird. From accidentally brushing teeth with jock itch cream to discussing the glamorous world of colonoscopies, they prove that nature isn’t the only thing that gets wild when you leave civilization.

    The Mile-High Mess

    Trevor and Dusty take to the skies—well, metaphorically—to riff on everything about flying. From sitting on the runway with no AC to the chaos of boarding and deplaning, they explore the highs, lows, and turbulence of air travel. Buckle up, stow your tray table, and prepare for a smooth landing of laughter.

    Cool Is for Teens, Breathing Is for Us

    In this episode, Dusty and Trevor talk about letting go of the need to be cool, middle-aged breathing struggles, and why Breathe Right nasal strips might just be the peak of self-acceptance. It’s not stylish, but it’s honest—and honestly, that’s the vibe.
