Episode #45 - Danny Hicks

“Big Rick” Paciorek sits down with South Jersey/Philly comedian Danny Hicks (@danny_hicks_comedy) for a conversation that moves between hard truths and off-the-wall humor. Danny opens up about his upbringing, navigating the foster care and legal systems, and the wild stories that shaped him. Including a childhood full of stitches and the lengths he went to just to get by.The episode doesn’t stay heavy for long, though. The two dive into everything from stepdads and street life to 90s B-movies, chicken seasoning debates, paintball vs. laser tag, and Rick questions Dannys "Black Card" with a trivia game.

Episode #44 - Dominick Curry & Tyler Garrison

Episode 44 of People We Could Live Without is a full-blown Atlanta sleepover episode. Recorded at Dominick Curry & Tyler Garrison’s place (not the club!) after a long week of shows at Helium Comedy Club, this one is pure road chaos. The boys let Rick crash at their apartment for the entire run of the Shawn Gardini shows, and things got irresponsible fast. We’re talking 6AM nights playing WWE 2K24, crushing takeout, sleeping four hours, then waking up and doing it all over again like we’re training for the Comedy Olympics. They also took Rick out to experience the Atlanta comedy scene. Local mics, different vibes from the Philly scene, and what it’s like being both employees at the club and comics trying to climb it. Three comedians. One couch. No supervision. Just yapping. Early access and bonus guest episodes are up on the Patreon for just $1 a month. Support the show, support the boys, and maybe next time Rick’s name is on the marquee.

Episode #43 - Shawn Gardini & Aidan Mccluskey

Episode 43 of People We Could Live Without is a road dog special. This week we’ve got Shawn Gardini (of Matt and Shane's Secret Podcast and Dad Meat fame) alongside Minneapolis’s own Aidan McCluskey in the studio. Rick just got back from hosting for Shawn all weekend at Helium Comedy Club, and we break down life on the road, southern crowds, green room politics, and what it’s like trying to keep it together while opening for a certified killer. We get into the Atlanta run, what you learn hosting for someone sharper than you, Aidan repping the Minneapolis scene, and the usual chaos that somehow turns into a podcast. There’s travel stories, ego checks, and some real behind-the-scenes talk about how comedy club weekends actually go down.
