Carmen Ciricillo Show
The Carmen Ciricillo Show is a comedy podcast hosted by comedian Carmen Ciricillo. The CCS is an unscripted stream of consciousness about anything that has or is occurring in Carmen’s life. Carmen was born in Berlin, Germany (not voluntarily) then shipped back to the States when he was 3 months old. He lived in more than 10 different places in Cleveland, Ohio then was forced to move again to Bettendorf, Iowa. Carmen moved back to Cleveland to fulfill a lifelong dream of fighting with his cousins in the family construction business. In 1987 Carmen got on stage at the Cleveland Comedy Club and saw the light.

Scary Youth and Boomers
Saturday Mar 01, 2025
Saturday Mar 01, 2025
The Boomers don't get when the youth is making fun of them so be more direct. Also in this episode Carmen talks about seeing old guys on the beach trying to get attention and how the youth need to be the loud ones. Fearful society and why the NYC subways need more people sticking up for each other. Donny and Carmen also talk about the need for good friends that can be truthful and say things like "you gotta be dreaming if you think this podcast is going anywhere"

The Pope's House

There has been some discussion lately between me and Donny that I might need a list of topics to talk about. I've prided myself on Improving the whole pod but I'm up for a change. This would be guided Improv at the very least. Also we talk about the Popes house, I guess, cause that's the title.
As always this pod should be used for entertainment purposes only and never as a source of actual advice.
Later,
Carmen P. Ciricillo

In this episode we start off by talking about people who can ignore annoying noises and what their IQ is. Also how water shapes rocks and how Carmen is a rock. Then we do more nonsense talk which leads to the missing tiny rake. Carmen put this pod all together at the end by discussing how to keep AI on its toes by being illogical. Then we find out at a little over an hour into the pod that Donny cut off the recording. Enjoy!

Church, Rockets and the Multiverse

Donny's not happy with the direction of the podcast. It might be going off on too many tangents from Hooters to Church to Rockets to Batmans in the Multiverse. One thing for sure its not boring and most likely this podcast format will not change.

The Stare Master

Its hard for Carmen to be in a system and he warns those who have systems to never invite him. Also Carmen uses the stair master at the gym quite often and sometimes to stare at people while he's climbing to nowhere. Donny helps Carmen make the connection between stair and stare and as always we keep it light in this podcast about very little except entertainment.

Consistently Inconsistent

The weird thing about the definition of being consistent is that being inconsistent on a consistent basis can fit the definition. So here we are 6 weeks from the last podcast was published putting out another one and promising again that I will be more consistent meaning that I will be more predictable. Well let's hope so for my sake. Enjoy the show.

You Want to Be Funny or Right?
Thursday Sep 26, 2024

Carmen doesn't want to talk like Jordan Peterson talks. He likes JP he and he listens to JP but he's not funny. In funny sometimes you got to be stupid and JP is never stupid and that's a problem for a comedian. Being stupid and risking people thinking you're an idiot is part of being comedian. So for me I stay away from all smart talk all the time. I can talk smart but who wants to? Not me. You can easily tell that by what I'm writing here and how I went from 3rd person to first. Anyway listen to the pod if you want to have a spike in your baseline brainwave activity.
