Advertise on podcast: The Seth Williams Show

On today’s episode of THE SETH WILLIAMS SHOW, Seth and Chris Akin get into the ridiculous problems Chris has been dealing with just trying to get a replacement prescription from his pharmacist. How does something that should be straightforward become this difficult? They also talk about new Quiet Riot singer John Torra, and the scrutiny he’s going to face for being overweight. This leads to a larger discussion about why calling people “fat” is universally still ok, even in today’s era of fake body shaming, and use of “the N word”, the new “F” word”, “The R word” and more. Then it’s back to Cleveland sports misery. The Guardians are once again staring at elimination, which raises the bigger question: how long can this organization expect to get over the hump without spending the money necessary to compete with baseball’s biggest teams? Is smart management enough, or has Cleveland reached the ceiling of what it can accomplish without opening the checkbook? Seth and Chris get into all of it on today’s show. This is a public episode.

Local media is failing, local radio is losing its grip, and nobody seems willing to call out the real issues hitting our streets. When the cameras stop rolling and the microphones go off, the real conversation starts. We dive headfirst into the decaying state of local broadcasting, why host accountability has vanished, and the hilarious reality of dealing with health chaos, off-air disasters, and absurd personal habits while trying to put on a show.

How did we get from arguing about a Sydney Sweeney advertisement to making comparisons involving one of the most disturbing criminal cases in recent memory? Seth and Chris dig into a series of startling videos making the rounds online, where women appear to draw an extraordinary moral comparison between criticism of Sydney Sweeney and the Lindsay Clancy case. What exactly are they saying, what are they reacting to, and why has this particular comparison set off such a firestorm? This is one of those stories where the internet has apparently decided that normal conversation wasn’t nearly complicated enough. Watch the videos. Hear the arguments. Then decide for yourself whether this is legitimate cultural criticism, wildly misplaced outrage, or something even stranger.

Things at Seth Williams’ house have officially gone from weird to downright WTF. TODAY’S MUSICAL CHOICE - THE PRETTY RECKLESS’ DEAR GOD: https://amzn.to/4rjMFnE “Flashlight Guy” is back in the conversation, there are bizarre reports of ghost hangings, and Seth is left trying to figure out whether something genuinely strange is happening around his house — or whether there could be a much more ordinary explanation. Could prescription medication be playing a role? Is Seth actually witnessing something he can’t explain? Or is there another piece of this insanity that hasn’t been figured out yet? Then Seth and Chris Akin turn their attention to the latest Sydney Sweeney controversy. Her provocative Novig sports-prediction ad has triggered a massive backlash from athletes and social media critics who argue that it sexualizes women’s sports. Sweeney, meanwhile, wasn’t simply hired as a spokesperson — she’s a strategic partner and equity holder in the company. So where does legitimate criticism end and ridiculous internet outrage begin? This afternoon’s live show gets into all of it.

The Browns somehow found another way to piss off Cleveland before the damn season even got rolling. Meanwhile, there’s a wild story about a Mötley Crüe concert, a wheelchair, $17 beers, and an accessibility nightmare that nearly kept Seth out of the show. Then things get even more ridiculous with YouTube copyright insanity, a bizarre medical checkup, and a Browns quarterback decision that has Cleveland fans ready to throw the whole operation into Lake Erie.
