Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. Rob and Greg debate passing around cigars and paying honor to the late, great Roger Corman and are joined by returning guest and local music sensation Dan Zea for part two of some good old fashioned stirring discussion and chatting.

Stay tuned after the show for a surprise song from Dan. Sit back and enjoy! Follow him for more music, info on upcoming shows and keep on staying safe and supporting those local businesses and musicians.

Ever find yourself wondering what’s next? That’s the whole point of Carnival of Randomness. Each episode is a genuine surprise, even to us. We don’t follow a plan or a theme, which means one conversation might dive into the bizarre history of a forgotten snack food, while the next could unravel the tangled logic of a terrible movie we just watched. It’s a comedy podcast built on the idea that the most interesting discussions are the ones you never see coming. You’ll hear us stumble onto topics, get hilariously sidetracked, and occasionally land on something that feels almost profound-or at least profoundly silly. The adventure is in not knowing, and that’s what makes this show different. We’re just following our curiosity wherever it leads, and we’re inviting you along for the ride. So if you’re tired of predictable formats and crave a podcast that feels like a spontaneous chat with friends, you’ve found it. Tune in to Carnival of Randomness for a weekly dose of unscripted, unfiltered, and completely unexpected conversation.
