Words said backwards, ice cream workers getting their flowers, microwaving fish at work for a month, and a divorce sale featuring two mannequins named Todd and Fabian. This compilation has it all. In this compilation, Mike and Matt return to Backtalk where wedding, bacon, and a brand refresh all get said phonetically in reverse, raise a glass to ice cream workers grinding through summer heat, the rare person who still waves thank you in traffic, and people who don't bombard a newly engaged couple with questions, put a price on microwaving fish at work every day, surviving seven days without sitting in a chair, opening a sold-out comedy show with zero preparation, and giving up GPS for a full year, and close things out on Facebook Marketplace with Todd and Fabian the divorce sale mannequins, a 1992 Oscar Mayer Wiener Coin Bank from the Barcelona Olympics, and a collection of nipple rings listed at $4. The conversations take unexpected turns, often going off course.

August 2026 | Funny Business Ep. 308

Stolen ambulances, birthday party LinkedIn posts, Instagram updates nobody asked for, a blind mascot ranking that disrespected Cap'n Crunch, and a TV mount that almost went sideways. In this compilation, Mike and Matt live Google Florida man headlines using their birthdays and a holiday, turn singing Happy Birthday and playing cornhole into corporate LinkedIn posts, air out frustrations with Instagram, Facebook, the World Cup ending, and summer flying by, rank mascots blind with no takebacks, and debate what they're buying and selling this month. From a man shouting "boom" at 3AM to get around a fireworks ban and Gritty landing in good, to refreshing Spotify playlists, the NBA Finals desk, and a stud finder that did not cooperate, the conversations take unexpected turns, often going off course.

July 2026 | Funny Business Ep. 307

This compilation features a diverse range of topics, including burning internet questions, hot takes on self-checkout and standing ovations, a kid at a baseball game who absolutely destroyed Mike, and a full draft of things everyone pretends to enjoy. Mike and Matt debate whether leaving someone on read is rude, weigh in on splitting the bill at group dinners, and tackle whether destination weddings are selfish. They express their opinions on various aspects of dining, such as restaurant menus, printed tickets, Wawa breakfast, and self-checkout. They also discuss carrying cash, energy drinks that work too fast, and the enduring presence of air conditioners as giant boxes in our windows. Additionally, they draft the things nobody actually enjoys, including gender reveals, 5AM gym sessions, networking events, crab legs, kids birthday parties, work happy hours, music festivals, and black coffee. The conversations often take unexpected turns and go off course.

June 2026 | Funny Business Ep. 306

This compilation offers a diverse range of topics, including phonetic reversals, negotiable morals, underrated appreciation, corporate buzzword bingo, and even a raccoon that hypes you up everywhere you go. Mike and Matt introduce a word guessing game that challenges your brain, assigns monetary value to fighting NHL players and surviving a tiger in a mall, and acknowledges the people and small things that deserve more recognition. They turn taking out the trash into a LinkedIn success story and debate whether a judgmental duck or a raccoon hype man makes a better life companion. The conversations explore unexpected turns and often veer off course, incorporating elements like candle said backwards, calling your boss “champ,” custodial workers, doing the dishes as a sanitation protocol, and a pause button used to rob a grocery store.

May 2026 | Funny Business Ep. 305

Silicone phone cases, sauce tier lists, spicy margaritas, and a five-foot SpongeBob that needs a deep clean, this compilation has it all. In this compilation, Mike and Matt get into the small things that are quietly getting to them, rank sauces blind with no takebacks, debate what they are buying and selling this month, and guess the price on the wildest Facebook Marketplace finds on the internet. From dad hats and fake weather forecasters to video game paywalls, AI tool portfolios, and 11 dozen goose decoys that look like a scene from Severance, the conversations take unexpected turns and often go off course.

April 2026 | Funny Business Ep. 304

Community questions, hot takes, ridiculous hypotheticals, and a debate about umbrellas in the sun, this compilation has it all. In this compilation, Mike and Matt engage with listener-submitted questions, share their unfiltered opinions, test their morals with Would You Rather, and decide what’s hot or not. From spicy wing limits and seagulls in your house to loyalty rewards, diner food, Alexa chaos, and whether “y’all” deserves respect, the conversations take unexpected turns, often going off course.

FUNNY BUSINESS

A show where Mike and Matt turn internet chaos into conversations worth having. You’ll hear about strange online finds, ridiculous moments, and everyday situations that spiral into debates. Every once in a while, one of them puts the other on the spot with a game, a hypothetical, or a question that’s harder than it sounds. Funny Business is a podcast run by Mike and Matt, two college friends who released over 300 straight weekly episodes from 2020 to 2026 and recently changed the format to keep things fun and conversational.

March 2026 | Funny Business Ep. 303

What do a clump of goldfish, a ruined wedding cake, and toe-stained Birkenstocks have in common? They all made it into our February highlight reel. This month was unhinged in the best way. From morally questionable decisions to overpriced Facebook Marketplace chaos, we pulled together the best moments from February’s episodes.

February 2026 | Funny Business Ep. 302

The podcast is changing, but don’t worry, Matt’s still tipping appropriately. We’re kicking off a brand-new format for Funny Business. Monthly full episodes, weekly minis, and the same spicy debates about CPAP Wrapped and owl impressions.

301: Funny Business Is Changing But Not How We Tip

We suited up. We reminisced. We raw-dogged it… with no socks. From episode 1 to 300, it’s been Bud Light Orange, bacon suits, and best friend chaos the whole way through.

It’s a full-blown celebration of 300 consecutive episodes, reliving our favorite bits, failed quizzes, cursed boxes, and our most viral moments (yes, the bacon suit makes a return).

300: No Regrets, Just 300 Weeks of Beautiful Chaos

“6-7” made the dictionary, then got banished. Make it make sense. We’re back with Lake Superior State University’s annual list of words we should all stop saying, and this year’s entries are massive. Literally. Also, Matt nearly coughs out a rib, Mike becomes an Excel wizard, and we both realize “gifted” might be the worst verb of the decade.
