Ep. 05: PlayStation Prices, Fart Corners & 20 Tons of Squid

Are PlayStation prices getting out of control? Why do kids wait until you're walking out the door to hand you an important school paper? And apparently elementary schools have FART CORNERS now?!

In Episode 5 of KIDDER — Comedy Without a Filter, stand-up comedian Chris Kidder takes on PlayStation pricing and the seemingly endless cost of consoles, games, subscriptions, controllers and everything else gamers are expected to pay for.

In the Dad Minute, Chris tries to understand why his son waits until SECONDS before leaving for school to hand him something that needs to be read and signed.

Then What Were They Thinking? takes on touchscreen controls in cars before giving some much-deserved love to noise-canceling headphones.

The episode briefly shifts gears for a serious discussion about the Lindsay Clancy case, postpartum psychosis and the complicated line between understanding someone's mental state and determining responsibility for horrific actions.

In Kidder Recommends, Chris reviews the Apple TV action-comedy Mayday, starring Ryan Reynolds and Kenneth Branagh, along with Seth Rogen's Hollywood satire The Studio — all rated using the official KIDDER Couch Scale.

Then it's time for News That Sounds Fake: a teacher creates a designated classroom “Fart Corner,” roughly 20 tons of squid spill across a road, and Sydney Marathon runners receive medals featuring a landmark from the wrong country.

Plus, What's in the Bucket? brings another completely unpredictable topic.

KIDDER — Comedy Without a Filter is a comedy podcast about fatherhood, marriage, getting older, gaming, movies and TV, pop culture, weird news, funny rants and the ridiculous moments of everyday life — all from comedian Chris Kidder.

Remember...life's already ridiculous. You might as well laugh at it.
