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.

299: The 2026 Banished Words List: “6-7” Just Got 86’d 

What’s up there?! From light bulbs to rubber gaskets, the ER saw it all in 2024 and we’re here to react, cringe, and try to understand. Plus, Matt cries at Stranger Things, Mike’s CPAP won’t travel, and a surprise pool table was not what it seemed.

298: What’s Up There?! The ER’s Strangest Year-End Report

The internet was loud, confusing, and absolutely exhausting in 2025, and we processed it with zero brain cells. From Jet2holidays to Group 7 chaos, this episode is our unfiltered wrap-up of the TikTok trends and pop culture moments we barely understood as we recap the weirdest internet trends, reflect on the year that was, and hand out our last Cheers To You before ringing in 2026.

297: Wrapping 2025 with TikTok, Pop Culture, and Zero Brain Cells

Snow is falling, the flu is spreading, and the Belschnickel is crawling across your roof with four cows and four steers. Mike breaks out a Pennsylvania Dutch Night Before Christmas, Matt fights sickness armed with a vintage shovel, and someone’s deodorant routine is hanging by a very thin thread.
