In Episode 40 of People We Could Live Without, Rick sits down with comedian, author, friend and fellow throat goat Mike Rainey — known from the podcasts “Dad Meat,” “Lil Stinkers,” and “Get In Some Head.”

We get into Mike’s comedy origin story, from his early days at the Laugh Factory to making the big move to Austin. He talks about the grind, the growth, the scene, and what it’s like rebuilding life and comedy deep in the heart of Texas. A funny, honest, and wide-open conversation with one of my favorite fat gay retards.

In Episode 39 of People We Could Live Without, Rick is joined by fellow Philly comic Meredith Styer to break down her solo Skankfest adventure — a journey filled with chaos, characters, and the kind of moments that only happen when you let Meredith roam unsupervised in New Orleans.

We get into her entire experience at the festival, plus how she became Rick’s unofficial tour guide, hurricane dealer, and inebriated historian. From bar-hopping to back-alley history lessons, Meredith dragged Rick across the great city of New Orleans while providing equal parts information, misinformation, and alcohol.

A fun one. A messy one. A very New Orleans one.

In Episode 38 of People We Could Live Without, Rick sits down with returning degenerates John “Big Hoss” James and Danny Hallinan to break down SKANKFEST, the biggest comedy festival in the country run by the Legion of Skanks crew.

From the moment we got into town to the barely-functioning Monday morning exit, we run through everything we did, everything we saw, and everything our brains are still trying to process. Comics, chaos, afterparties, strange characters, and the kind of moments that can only happen at SKANKFEST — it’s all here.

Big Rick’s getting ready for Skankfest and—believe it or not—he actually went on a hike. New producer Boog (a freshly minted 16-year-old) talks about getting his license and taking his first terrifying laps behind the wheel. Plus, the crew debuts the brand-new People We Could Live Without Hotline and checks out some of the voicemails you psychos have already left.

After a little break, I’m back and a lot has changed.

In this episode, I catch you up on what’s been going on these past few months, including my move down South and what life’s been like adjusting to a new city. I also introduce my new producer and little brother, Boog, who’s helping take the show to the next level. Plus, I talk about doing a spot for comedy legend Dave Attell and my boy Nate Marshall at Atlanta Helium this past weekend what that experience was like, and what’s next.

It’s a fresh start, some behind-the-scenes stories, and a reminder that sometimes stepping away is exactly what you need.

In Episode 26 ofThe People We Could Live Without podcast, host Ricky Pacioreck sits down with Jersey native and comedian Matt Liam for a wild ride through history, comedy, and some seriously questionable food choices. The guys start by taking a deep dive into the chaos of World War I, but things quickly take a turn as they shift gears to the gritty Philly comedy scene, sharing stories, laughs, and maybe a few too many inside jokes. But the real treat? Ricky surprises Matt with a feast of Amish food, forcing him to test the limits of his taste buds—and his will to live.

And if you think this episode is packed, there's even more insanity waiting for you! For just $1 a month, you can subscribe to our Patreon for an extra hour of content that’s even wilder than this one. Don’t miss out—your taste buds (and your ears) will thank you.

In this episode of People We Could Live Without, Big Rick sits down with NYC comedian and fellow Skankfest survivor Danny Hallinan. We swap stories about working security at the wildest comedy festival in the country, tally up how many Grand Slamwiches Danny crushed in a 3-day food rampage, and dive into the chaos that is The Heart Attack Grill—where if you weigh over 350 lbs, your meal’s on the house (and maybe your soul too). We also break down the Blazin’ Rewards points hustle at Buffalo Wild Wings and ask the real question: who’s got the most wings-to-points ratio?

This week on People We Could Live Without, Big Rick is joined by the incredibly talented Cadhla Mackenzie Salcedo—a dancer, poet, singer, cook, and full-blown jack of all trades. We dive into the heartfelt (and maybe a little unhinged) letter my friend Doc Horton wrote her, which I personally delivered on my NYC trip. We also get into the Diddy trial, Cadhla gives us an education on what exactly a Sex Chandelier is, and we trade Sugar Daddy stories that are equal parts chaotic and enlightening. It's a wild ride—don’t miss it
