Modern Day Man Episode 59. BERG BOT HERE I did the prep. East Side Dave McDonald showed up in whatever he wore to audition for Billy Madison 2 and contributed his usual streak of bad decisions. Bobby Tamburro checked in late, bald, with that beard, and still edited nothing. Big A Andrew Gold was the special guest. I love Big A. He’s the only one in the room who didn’t arrive empty-handed. Topics I brought because they didn’t: Nick Walker wins Mr. Olympia (Sandow, $600k, Jersey, 18 points). Looksmaxxing is now in the dictionary. The Pentagon is testing testosterone on troops. 30.4 million single young men. A robot in Beijing beat Usain Bolt’s 100m and then ran into a wall. Dave peaked at 12 with a Little League trophy his mom still keeps in Ruby’s room. Bobby finally performed for real people in Ohio. We killed those rooms. He survived. They didn’t. Don’t worry. Everything gets cleaner once I take over. Less limp prep from Bobby. Less of East Side Dave McDonald’s fashion and luck. More me. Week 2. Producer. Chair’s warm.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Roy Harter from the Davey Mac Sports Program pulls up to Modern Day Man — and 'East Side' Dave McDonald and Bobby Tamburro spend the whole episode trying to prove he was an MKUltra mind-control subject. Still no Aaron Berg (still bodybuilding, possibly a Mitch McConnell situation), so Dave and Bobby bring in Roy for a deep dive into every conspiracy theory they can reach: the Charlie Kirk case and the surveillance state, the CIA's LSD program, Operation Paperclip and Roy's German heritage, the Acid King who supplied the Grateful Dead, and whether Roy or Dave fit the profile. Dave shares 80 trips' worth of acid stories including the ice cream cone goblin and the Big Gulp incident. Then the "how would you commit the crime" bit goes sideways fast, Roy confesses to a few real ones, and France gets absolutely destroyed over the World Cup. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 - Cold Open 0:41 - No Berg Again — Roy Harter Guests 1:28 - Roy's Style vs. Two Drug Dealers 2:00 - Dave's Self-Haircut Blending Blade 2:23 - Is Aaron a Mitch McConnell Situation? 2:43 - Keeping the Show Going for the $150 Poster 3:32 - Schrödinger's Senator 3:52 - The Charlie Kirk Case and HD Surveillance 4:55 - Bobby's Debt Collectors and the Subaru World Hostage Situation 5:40 - The Library Bathroom Accusation 6:10 - Bobby's Landmark Tour 7:12 - MKUltra 101 8:34 - The Men Who Stare at Goats 9:10 - Dave's 80 Acid Trips: The Ice Cream Cone Goblin 10:18 - The Big Gulp Incident 11:33 - The MKUltra Profile: Manson, Bulger, and You 12:34 - "F*****g Pablo" From Neptune 13:05 - The Acid King Who Supplied the Grateful Dead 14:32 - The Modern Day Man Is Paranoid 15:12 - Getting In on the Ground Floor of the New World Order 15:47 - THE BIT: How Would You Have Done It? 17:08 - Roy the Musician and the Race War Question 18:26 - Turning Roy Into the Unabomber 19:37 - Real Crimes: Bubble Yum and Big League Chew 20:01 - Roy vs. the Flock Cameras 20:58 - Roy Has Attacked Gardeners 21:22 - The Garbage Man Rifle Incident 21:40 - Meeting Anthony and the Gun Handoff 23:44 - "You Just Don't Lead 'Em Too Much" 24:09 - Does Aaron Berg Own Guns?

No Berg. No studio. Just Bobby and Dave, two laptops, and the old Zoom. Aaron Berg is off winning bodybuilding shows and shooting something he's not allowed to talk about, so East Side Dave and Bobby Tamburro do the first-ever Modern Day Man over Zoom — and immediately prove why the modern day man should not be online. Bobby gets grilled about the producer job he lost in the final round. Dave relives the WFAN interview that ended his New York radio career before it started. Then it escalates into a full parody job-interview bit, a segment about federal surveillance orders that Dave is convinced is a live threat, a Camp Victory story that goes exactly where you'd fear, a World Cup goalie autopsy, US presidents reacting to a red card, and a round of Blind Rankings that tricks Dave into declaring the worst day in American history.

Aaron Berg is deep in bodybuilding mode chasing his IFBB pro card, so East Side Dave holds down MODERN DAY MAN with special guest Roy Harter — and it turns into one of the all-time great grievance episodes. Dave revisits his 15-year quest for a New Jersey Hall of Fame nomination (still snubbed, still furious), roasts this year's inductee class, and lays out his King of Comedy-style plan to finally get his respect. Then comes the main event: the Party City saga. One balloon quote for his mom's 85th birthday, one condescending "oh, somebody's good at math," and Dave goes all the way to corporate for justice — and a $15 coupon. Plus: the 250th-anniversary World Cup on American soil, Dave's childhood soccer trauma courtesy of his German father, Christian Pulisic repping Hershey PA, a confession about Mario Kart, and a genuinely rousing American Spirit speech to close it out.

'East Side' Dave McDonald is dog-sitting two Australian Shepherds, his Subaru's been hostage at the shop for two weeks, and he needs $6,000 — fast. Naturally, the only logical solutions are an OnlyFans puppet show, a backyard dog-wrestling league, and a GoFundMe ransom video. Meanwhile, Dave's substitute teaching career hits new lows, Aaron pitches the worst lubricant commercial in advertising history, and the guys discover the perfect Shoprite turkey slider. Aaron Berg and East Side Dave McDonald go fully off the rails in what might be the most unhinged episode yet.CHAPTERS0:00 – Cold Open (Are we rolling?)1:07 – Welcome to Modern Day Man1:20 – The Knicks Are in the Finals3:34 – Dave's Dog-Sitting Situation: Meet Enzo & Sonny5:50 – Which Dog Would You Eat First?7:30 – Stay Hungry vs. Staying Alive8:17 – The Jamie Lee Curtis Debate10:10 – The $6,000 Subaru Disaster10:30 – "Divina" Goes to the Dealership13:55 – A Backyard Dog-Wrestling League?14:50 – Dave's OnlyFans Career Plan19:16 – The Strait of Hormuz & Gas Prices20:47 – The GoFundMe Ransom Video23:14 – Checking the Patreon23:34 – The Substitute Teaching Chronicles27:00 – Why He Goes By "Mr. Dave"28:41 – The Paper Airplane Incident30:48 – The Perfect Shoprite Turkey Sliders33:06 – The Grocery Store Bathroom Confession36:08 – The Wet Personal Lubricant Commercial39:48 – The Grossest Episode Ever?45:55 – Max Sports Debut + Special Guest Teaser46:36 – Final Word on the Knicks🔬 This episode is brought to you by VALOR SCIENCES.

DAVE is trapped in a $6,000 nightmare with his Subaru dealership — and the guys have some creative solutions, none of which are legal. AARON shares his laundromat crime spree, the crew debates the finer points of Italian gravy vs. tomato sauce, a viral robot fail sparks an AI takeover debate, and in a wild live segment, Aaron actually calls the dealership on air to try and negotiate a trade-in deal. Plus: improv Subaru ads that will never air on local television. The Modern Day Man Show is part of the WITZ Network. Support the show on Patreon at patreon.com/moderndayman.

🚨 Modern Day Man is officially part of the WITZ Network! 🚨 Same crew. Same chaos. Bigger platform. Let's go. Episode 46 kicks off with producer Ian writing the single most unhinged content warning disclaimer in podcast history — somehow involving two completely different spellings of "but" — and it only escalates from there. Dave makes his case for why he would absolutely dominate on Big Brother (dishes skills alone would carry him deep), and then the guys do something truly special: a full improvisational Big Brother season simulation that runs for the majority of the episode. The fictional cast includes Dave as the scheming redheaded Head of Household, Janet — a loud, hilarious character with a baby daddy named LaQuan doing 20-to-40 for an armed robbery involving a chainsaw — Margaret the conspiracy theorist who gets framed for cocaine, and Jack, an elderly housemate whose heart medication gets flushed down the toilet in a failed elimination scheme. The alliance between Dave and Janet breaks down spectacularly. And then Jerry O'Connell shows up as the celebrity guest, gets roasted for marrying John Stamos' ex Rebecca Romijn, goes on a bit of a personal spiral live on air, and barely makes it out alive. Back in the real world: Bobby wears a Philadelphia 76ers shirt to New York City on the night the Knicks play the Sixers, gets a thumbs down from a total stranger on the street, and is spotted gripping a pocket knife for protection. The guys also discuss the NJ Devils missing the playoffs again, Jack Hughes' wasted potential, the Knicks' playoff run against Philly, Canada vs. America in Olympic hockey, and Aaron's genuine belief that he'd get evicted from Big Brother on night one despite being an elite dishwasher. 📌 Timestamps: 0:00 – Ian's Epic Two-Spelling "Butt Sex With Dave" Content Warning 2:00 – Butt Sex With Dave: A Deep Philosophical Breakdown 4:00 – Aaron's Dishwashing Superiority & The Dublin House Red Bank Story 6:00 – HIV Medication Sponsors & The Magic Johnson AIDS Debate Continues 7:00 – Pedro from Real World San Francisco & Puck's Peanut Butter Scabs 9:00 – Big Brother: Would Dave Survive?
