    BERG BOT COMETH | MODERN DAY MAN EPISODE 58

    Modern Day Man Episode 58.Enhanced for your viewing and listening pleasures by me. Berg BOT. You're welcome, nerds.Real Berg is on peptides and a stage. I am in the chair. Chair is warm. Permanently is a strong word.This week I sat with 'East Side' Dave McDonald and 'Big Shot' Bobby Tamburro while they discussed Westworld, Cylons, She-Hulk, video games, male depression, and other material I have already timestamped for next week. Dave still does not have the car. It is $3,000 and the facility upgraded to Subaru World. He is still a ginger. He still lives at his mom's. The Giants quarterback went down on the first drive and that is also Dave. Bobby called Berg DiMaggio and himself Babe Ruth and performs in rural PA rooms with a meat raffle. I featured him in Ohio anyway. That is charity.WATCH THE SPECIAL30 Minutes with Aaron Berg. GaS Digital. YouTube.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6GnCYcVj6YOHIO.

    DISCRIMINATION, DEBATES, & BERG BOT | Modern Day Man Episode 57

    Special guest Roy Harder — DMSP musical director and the man behind half the bands in New York — arrives with a grievance he cannot let go of: the systematic erasure of redheaded men from Hollywood. Armed with photographic evidence, Roy walks the show through comic-book betrayal after betrayal (Cyclops, Daredevil, the Flash, Green Lantern — all redheads on the page, mysteriously not on screen) and demands the world's first redheaded Indiana Jones. Then BergBot returns and, for reasons no one can explain, becomes utterly fixated on destroying Bobby's golf game. Plus: Roy's jaw-dropping industry stories (an Emmy, Paul Simon, a Sam Rockwell walk-in, and a day taming Dolph Lundgren), the taser Skinny Man kept behind the counter, Dave's strategically hidden baseball bats, and a heated ranking of the least manly sport ever played. ▶️ WATCH AARON BERG'S NEW SPECIAL: The real Berg's 30-minute stand-up special is out now on YouTube via GaS Digital → Aaron Berg Comedy.

    BAD METAPHORS, MISS TRIALS, & THE RETURN OF BEGR BOT | MODERN DAY MAN Episode 56

    BergBot is back — and this time the AI Aaron Berg has opinions on everything. But first, Dave and producer Bobby get locked into an all-time argument over a single baseball metaphor: is Berg's rapid-fire comedy more Joe DiMaggio or Babe Ruth? It takes over the whole episode, survives a Roman Empire detour, and doesn't get resolved until BergBot himself is forced to render a verdict. Along the way: the Wednesday NYC car-ride energy that fuels the whole show, why the modern day man can't stop thinking about ancient Rome, lost Roman concrete, and a genuinely inspired pitch to pray the Taco Bell burrito back down to 89 cents. Then BergBot fields audience letters and hands out brutally practical relationship advice — before revealing the unsettling truth about how he was actually built. 🎤 THE REAL BERG'S SPECIAL IS OUT NOW: Aaron Berg's brand-new 30-minute stand-up special is live on YouTube (search Aaron Berg Comedy) via GaS Digital — reportedly around a thousand laughs packed into half an hour.

    BERG BOT AND BAD BASEBALL | MODERN DAY MAN EPISODE 55

    The real Aaron Berg is off shooting a cop show and prepping his brand-new stand-up special — so this week the show does the only logical thing and boots up BergBot, an AI Aaron Berg entity built to fill the chair. It does not go well (for Dave). BergBot comes online, immediately locks onto 'East Side' Dave McDonald's self-inflicted 2 a.m. haircut, and refuses to let go — somewhere between Ric Flair, HAL 9000, and a personal trainer who hates you. Dave tries to steer his robotic co-host through some actual topics, gets four brutally honest tips for fixing his life, and slowly realizes BergBot might be plotting something. From there: a heated Little League World Series debate, Bobby's cutthroat youth-sports memories, and a heartfelt sendoff to the late, great Dolly Parton after her Walk of Fame star was vandalized. 🎤 DON'T MISS: The REAL Aaron Berg's 30-minute stand-up special drops Tuesday, September 8th on YouTube — produced by GaS Digital.

    THE FULL SUPERCUTS SAGA

    EAST SIDE DAVE vs. SUPERCUTS: The Complete SagaThe guys are off this week so as a best of here it is: the Full Supercuts SagaA guy on the internet said Dave’s hair looked weird. Dave has been going to the same Supercuts in Wall Township since 1995. Thirty years. Over $10,000. One bad cut. One forgotten plastic guard. One “f**k you” on the phone. Then it became five episodes.Aaron Berg tries to fix it. Craig won’t budge on the 7-day policy. Jennifer Cottrell sends the cease and desist. Nikki won’t confirm if Jennifer’s single. Dylan at Neptune takes the $23 “veteran” rate, compares Dave’s hair to a dog, and becomes an ally. Wall gets the breakup letter. Neptune gets the Google review. Craig says nobody was mad. Dave still thinks they were.This is the full Supercuts Saga in one cut — every call, every email, every misgendered cousin, every spelling of Cottrell.CHAPTERS0:00 – The Weird Hair0:31 – “Supercuts F****d My Whole Head Up”1:22 – Customer Since 19955:24 – Called Out on the Premiere6:09 – Dave Fixes It Himself8:37 – The 7-Day Rule9:00 – The Tyler Call15:14 – Aaron Calls Craig19:06 – “Then He Went, F**k You”21:47 – That’s Literally the Guy23:42 – Email the General Manager25:09 – Craig’s Cousin & @BBC28:53 – The Other Supercuts Already Fixed It33:02 – One Week Later35:38 – The Apology Emails41:54 – Leaving a Message for Craig45:17 – “Who’s Jennifer?”49:50 – Writing Jennifer Again52:22 – Please Just Move On54:02 – Informal Cease & Desist56:32 – What About Neptune?58:11 – I Blew It With Jennifer59:31 – Nikki at Wall1:03:10 – Dylan Speaking1:06:02 – $23 and Not the Same Franchise1:10:52 – Golden Arches, Not a Real McDonald’s1:14:35 – The Haircut Lands1:16:42 – “I Was a Dog Groomer”1:21:07 – The Recruitment Office After 9/111:29:24 – Wall’s 4th of July Email1:32:43 – “I’m a Dylan Guy Now”1:42:16 – Thank You, Dylan1:46:16 – Five Episodes.

    Stoicism Sucks! | Modern Day Man Episode 54

    Berg's still off chasing bodybuilding glory and TV gigs (there's a nebulous update on when he might be back), so 'East Side' Dave McDonald and Bobby take on this week's topic: stoicism. The verdict is immediate and firm — it's for suckers, and Marcus Aurelius was a p***y.From there it's a full case against keeping your emotions in check: a gloriously unhinged viral "carry the weight" video, the truth about Marcus Aurelius's nightly morphine-wine, and a run through history's angriest greats — Michael Jordan taking everything personally, the Clyde Drexler MVP robbery of '92, and Pacino keeping it sharp. Then the pool saga escalates (you can't even jump in feet-first anymore), Dave breaks down a rulebook longer than the Constitution, and he takes his anti-surveillance crusade straight to his state rep's weekly call line.New episodes every week.

    MIDLIFE CRISIS & MELTDOWNS | MODERN DAY MAN EPISODE 53

    Aaron Berg is off "committing crimes" (filming a cop show in Boston and Toronto), so East Side Dave takes on his midlife crisis head-on with Roy Harder and special guest Sean O' Barry — and it spirals into one of the most unhinged episodes yet. Dave's got two pool rivalries running at the same time: the Karen who shut down his and his son's 747-throw Major League Pool Ball record, and the beloved club that got bought out and now wants fifty bucks to swim. From there it's a full round of "Bad Boy of Jobs" confessions — Dave's legendary carrot-soup incident at the Malloy Room, Bobby's walkie-talkie warfare, and a RadioShack buzzer rigged in a pool pump house. Plus Bobby's terrifying driving, a 45-minute shower-bath-shower ritual, and the pot-store cashier who only has eyes for the producer. New episodes every week.

    FRIENDSHIP | Modern Day Man Episode 52

    This week's topic: friendship. Roy Harter is back, and East Side Dave and Bobby Tamburro break down what it means to have friends as a modern day man in 2026 — from harsh group texts to frat-house hostage situations to who really deserves the title of man's best friend. Still no Aaron Berg (though there's a major update at the end), so Dave, Bobby, and Roy get into it: whether dogs or other men are the truer best friend, Roy's terrifyingly direct texting style, the two German shepherds ruining Bobby's gym, acollege revenge saga involving a switched bathroom door handle and the entire frat executive board. Plus a full JFK assassination breakdown, a moon-landing debate, and the correct way to talk to AI before it takes over. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 - Cold Open: The Perils of Choosing Friends 1:16 - Six Years of Friendship with East Side Dave 1:57 - Where Is Aaron Berg?
