Anything Goes With Greg & Alex

Happy Chanukah!!! (Or however you spell it) As we celebrate the Festival of Lights, we find that there really is no wrong way to spell it. Alex found some Chanukah facts which she uses to test Greg’s knowledge on his holiday. From the most popular foods to the worlds largest Menorah, we talk a little bit about it all. So light your menorah, spin your dreidel, eat your potato latka’s and give this episode a listen for 8 straight nights!

Happy Birthday to Alex!! This week we break down every haunt we went to this past 2023 Halloween season. From four haunts in one night to the 20th anniversary of one! Then we move on to Alex’s favorite season… The Holiday Season! We talk about a few of the holiday things we have lined up and how old Alex feels. So come along and celebrate Hallo-Christmas with us and wish Alex a happy Birthday!!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone! In this week’s episode, we are thankful for the important things in life… Family, Friends, and Vinny Pacifico! Vinny Pacifico is an International Professional Wrestler who is taking the industry by storm! From his larger than life personality, to his top notch social media game, there is a reason why Vinny has been signed by G Fuel Energy Drink! Vinny has spent the last decade of his life crafting his art as a Professional Wrestler which will now lead him to his first ever trip overseas to Japan in December to show the wrestling world what he is made of! Make sure you keep an eye out for Vinny in a town near you, in Japan, and soon to be on your tv at home!

As if spending 30 hours straight inside of Six Flags Great Adventure wouldn’t be scary enough…. Imagine doing it overnight… inside of a coffin!!! In this week’s episode, we speak with Kerri who did exactly that! Kerri competed in the Six Flags Great Adventure 30 hour coffin challenge and she is here to tell us all about it. From her very interesting backstory, to what the audition process was like, to the challenges that she had to compete in… Kerri walks us through it all and tells us what it was really like to be in the park at 3 AM! After getting to know Kerri, it is no surprise that she was only 1 of 6 people chosen out of 6,000 to take part in this one of a kind experience. Did she survive the full 30 hours? Well, if you are a fan of six flags, Halloween, competition, or just like hearing a fun story, this one is for you!

Halloween might be over, but the Brookdale Haunted Theater lives forever… at least it has for the past 20 years! In this week’s episode, we went back to visit one of our favorite haunts, The Brookdale Haunted Theater located right on its own college campus. We were able to experience the best of what their last 20 years had to offer as we walked through their haunt. (Spoiler alert, not everybody that night made it completely through). We were able to see 20 years of some fan favorite scenes, as well as a personal favorite design of our own. Not only did this Haunt live up to the hype of their 20th year, but they took it to the next level. Grab yourself an ice cream cone and take a listen as we try to match Addeline up with her true love!

This week we break our own record by going to FOUR different haunted attractions in one night. We have done all 4 Disney parks in one day and decided it was time to take it to the next level and do 4 haunts in one night! Located all over NYC, these 4 haunts took us about 6 hours to do and they were all worth the exhaustion! First we stopped at Terror Vision: Live the Nightmare and got to speak with Dalton, then Blood Manor, followed by Nightmare: Dollhouse and ended our night in Brooklyn with Ridgewood Asylum. Each one of these haunts were so different from each other and there’s so much we love about all of them. We are still recouping from this late weeknight but it was totally worth it! There is only one way we know how to celebrate Halloween week and that’s by doing 4 Haunts in 1 night!

This week we recap all that we have done so far this Halloween season. From some of our favorites to our local haunts and even some great things for the entire family to enjoy. We visited pumpkin patches, Halloween houses, Dinosaur LuminoCity and so many haunted houses. We had even more planned but unfortunately between weather and random things changing our schedules, we had to push them back! We talk all about everything and also mention some of what we have coming up. From even MORE haunted houses to some great interviews. So make sure you help us celebrate Greg’s birthday and send over all the hate mail you can!!

In this week’s very special episode, we are joined by writer, director, haunt owner and The Emperor of Immersive Horror, Timmy Haskell. Timmy Haskell has been scaring and entertaining people for over 20 years as he is the mastermind behind the power house “Psycho Clan”. In this in depth tell all interview, Timmy tells us all about what inspired him to originally want to scare people, to his favorite production that he has ever put on. We talk about it all from the years of Nightmare NYC, to the time he built a Kellogg’s Pop Tart interactive haunt in Union Square. Even though Timmy has already done it all, he is still going strong with this year’s opening of Nightmare Dollhouse in NYC and The Horsemen: Terror Lies in Chaos in Sleepy Hollow. If you are a horror fan of any kind, this episode is certainly for you! Timmy even plays along with Keep It or Kill It and answers the very tough question of who he would keep and who he would kill… Greg or Alex!

This week we freak ourselves out by talking all about different phobias. We talk about the ones we legitimately have (which may or may not be strange ones!) and some that other people may have and how extreme phobias can really get. Since Halloween season officially kicked off, we figured why not give you all the creeps by talking about things that might creep you out! Hopefully we don’t have to encounter and overcome any of our phobias at any of the upcoming haunts that we will be visiting. One of us may not make it out alive!

In the first episode of our new season we break down the reality of going to Disney with twin 2 year old girls. We share everything we loved and everything we wish could have worked out better. From the magical moments to the crazy tantrums (although there weren’t as many as you’d think!), we talk about it all. Even a very touching experience when one of our girls were having a meltdown moment and Rey came over to comfort her. If you’re thinking of taking your 2 year old to Disney… do it! Hopefully we help you plan and prepare with hearing about our experience!

Welcome to Episode 200!!! It’s been a long road and we can’t believe we made it this far but 200 episodes later, here we are. We talk about the past episodes and what is to come in the future. We talk about our favorite episodes and the ones that maybe could have been skipped! Greg gives a HUGE thank you (or should we say… 200 thank yous) to everyone who have been with us since day one and the ones who joined us along the way. Thank you so much and we are looking forward to the next 200!

For our 199th episode we are Keeping the spookiness going as we talk about this years line up for Universal Studios Halloween Horror Nights. We talk all things from the scare zones around the park and the haunted houses to the pricing of tickets and upgrades. There are a few good things to look forward to at this years Halloween Horrir Night, like a Chucky Haunted house, and we break down it all. Get even more excited for spooky season with us and decide which haunt would be your favorite (or least favorite!).

I’m this week’s episode, we talk about two of Alex’s favorite things in life, Britney Spears and Disney! Fresh off of seeing the Broadway play Once Upon A One More Time, we discuss our thoughts on the play and what it was like for our first time ever sitting front row on Broadway. We then talk about our upcoming Walt Disney World trip as we rank the 6 new Disney rides that we haven’t done yet and our excitement level of doing each of them. Give this one a listen and decide which Greg was more excited about, The Britney Spears Broadway Play or his upcoming trip to Disney!

In this week’s episode, we summon the spirits of Halloween… Spirit Halloween that is! We took a ride to our local Spirit Halloween store and was excitedly surprised to find that they were already open for the season! We ran right in to check out all of the newest additions that Spirit Halloween has to offer for the 2023 Halloween Season, from their biggest and scariest animatronics to all of the Haunted Mansion merchandise Alex needs to buy, to the $10 mugs that fills up our cabinets. Take a listen and find out what our girls loved so much, that made us do a follow up visit the very next day! As Greg loves to say… Happy Halloween in August Everyone!

There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow! In this episode we break down our expectations of a trip to Disney we will be taking with our 2 year old twin girls. Everything from strollers to the Florida heat and how many melt downs there will be. Will they sleep at all the wrong times? Will they be good on the plane? Who knows! We sure don’t… but we take some guesses on what we think it will all be like. People might say we are crazy but we know this will be one of the best times of our lives (along with some of the most chaotic times!) and we really can’t wait! We also talk about the new addition to Disney World’s Haunted Mansion, The Hatbox Ghost, and how we feel about it materializing over in Florida.

In this edition of a very random episode we talk about our upcoming Disney trip, a carnival ride malfunction and Halloween officially being here. We give a listener update about a few of our loyal listeners and talk about a few shows we will be seeing next week. Greg gives us some riddles (which may take Alex some time to think about) and some “would you rather” scenarios. Give this one a listen and hear about how Greg always gets the weirdest injuries at the strangest times. It may just be because he is way too competitive but it’s worth it if he wins! Unless maybe if he drops his cellphone out of a go-kart mid race.

This week we defy death. Just kidding!… but we do talk about a few of the times we had some near death experiences (some a little too near). Everything from a Tommy Boy scene to almost getting hit by a car. We discuss what it was like to drive in a crazy ice storm on the Garden State Parkway with cars spinning out of control all around us. We also discover that maybe it’s best we don’t go to the first game at any new stadium/arena. One of us almost got hit in the face with a line drive and one actually did. Listen to find out which one. Come cheat death with us and see how many lives we have left to live!

This week we talk to our favorite fellow Disney fanatics and two of the coolest kids on the planet, our niece and nephew, Emily (12) and Benjamin (8)! We ask them life’s toughest questions and see what they think about some random topics. Some of their answers might surprise you! We had so much fun on this one (as you’ll hear from all of the laughs) and even find out what really makes someone old in their minds. This one will put a smile on your face for sure!
And a special thanks to their parents for letting us interview them!

Happy 4th of July! This week we talk all about our 4th of Julys growing up and we realized that they don’t make childhoods like they used to. We also talk about our not so great (but also not so bad) 4th this year. From deciding to go to the most exhausting amusement park in 100 degree heat (no, not Disney) to having our key locked inside of our car. Regardless, 4th of July always has a special place in our hearts and we always look forward to it and what the rest of the summer will bring.

In this week’s episode, we take a ride down the Garden State Parkway as we stopped at PNC Bank Arts Center to catch the 20th Anniversary Tour of 3 Doors Down “Away From the Sun” album. Not only is 3 Doors Down on Greg’s Mount Rushmore of bands, but it was the girls first ever concert at 2 years old! We talk all about the concert and Greg shares what was supposed to be his first concert ever at 7 years old until it got cancelled just minutes before. Check out this episode as we got not only one, but two social media appearances by Brad Arnold as we were recording live!

Here comes another random one! This week we talk about some more random topics that we have came across lately. We talk about how Alex was totally right about Cocomelon, the Metaverse taking way too much of peoples money, how we will never miss an episode (even when a family member is in the hospital and getting into a car accident the same day we recorded this), how the Oakland Athletic fans are by far the greatest and also about a recent Sex and the City pop up we went to (Greg may have not been as into it as Alex). We also make sure to wish our OG listener Janell a very happy birthday!

This week we get random with ya! We talk about things that have been on our mind. From this crazy apocalypse type air quality to a haunted house shutting down due to one person ruining it for everyone! We talk about some up coming TV shows and discover the greatest golf shot ever taken. So come along with us to Strollerpallooza to visit Holly in Canada and make sure she’s ok! You can even bring along your adopted dog if you want to!

In this week’s episode, we speak with Blake, frontman of 9 Dead. We formed a friendship with Blake a few years back in a way that we have never friended anyone before! We talk about how our friendship came to be, as well as the origin name of 9 Dead and what the future holds for them! We also talk about Blake’s love of Harry Potter as he spoke with us from Ink Society 13, the tattoo shop where Blake can ink you up, as he is also a tattoo artist! Make sure you give this one a listen and catch 9 Dead on tour as they have big shows and festivals booked this summer!

This week we are bringing it back to our roots and breaking down this season of The Challenge: World Championship. We talk about everything from a slow start to a pretty tough final and the best part of the season.. The Fear Express! This episode is packed with spoilers so listen at your own risk! We mention how injuries ended up helping some challengers and how the winning team didn’t surprise us since they should have been targeted from day one. We always love a good Challenge season and can’t wait for more!

In our Bamboozle wrap up episode, we spoke with the guy behind Scamboozle. We hear his side of things of how everything surrounding the festival went down. We talk all things from how it initially got started, to his thoughts on the cancellation of Bamboozle. It’s safe to say that the drama behind all of this gave us something to talk about for sure!

In this week’s episode, we took the ride down the Garden State Parkway to Atlantic City, New Jersey. This was supposed to be the weekend of Bamboozle, until it was suddenly cancelled a week before the Festival. We still went to spend the weekend out there and we talk all about our Bamboozeless Atlantic City trip. We walked the boardwalk, checked out a show with local musicians, saw Noah XO do his thing, went to a buffet, and ended our night partying it up with Fred Durst and Sad and Boujee. We couldn’t end our weekend without visiting Bader Field, the site of Bamboozle’s skeleton bones! We also had the pleasure of interviewing Noah XO as he tells us all about his road to playing the Bamboozle Festival and the interaction he had with John D. Give this one a listen to hear how all of this went down and also how our girls took things into their own hands to celebrate their 2nd birthday in Atlantic City!

We have one word for you… Bamboozle! If you haven’t heard, The Bamboozle Festival was supposed to celebrate it’s 20th year anniversary this weekend in Atlantic City, but exactly a week before the festival, it was suddenly cancelled. We talk all about the exciting build up and the very suspicious demise of it all. If you like some drama (and a story that will for sure become a Netflix documentary), give this one a listen and hear how this festival kind of lived up to their name as we dig deep into all of the Bamboozle controversy surrounding John D. Will you still be going to Atlantic City for the weekend of what was supposed to be Bamboozle? We know we still are!

Happy Halfway to Halloween! This week we break down what we think this coming Halloween season will look like. We also talk all about our recent Halloween fix when we took a trip to “Scream Break” at Six Flags Great Adventure. From the haunted house walk throughs to the crazy amount of fog. Take a trip with us to our local boardwalk haunted house and give this one a listen and weigh in as we decide who will win in a one on one escape room version electric chair!

Let’s go Mets! Baseball season may have started a few weeks ago but it doesn’t really start for us until New York Mets Opening Day. We talk all about our experience from finding random tailgates (and possibly taking their food) to the game itself and how times have changed when it comes to baseball. Even though we had to wait an extra day due to extremely nice weather, we still enjoyed ourselves so much and can’t wait to get back to another game!

This week we are breaking down our thoughts on WrestleMania 39. From Saturday night’s opener of John Cena vs Austin Theory (which Alex predicted from beginning to end!) to Sunday’s main event of Roman Reigns vs Cody Rhodes. There were a few good moments and we break down them all! Give this one a listen but first you better Acknowledge your Tribal Chief!

Happy April Fool’s, MLB season and Wrestlemaina weekend everyone! In this week’s episode, we are joined by the The Moon Geeks who give us an entertaining interview worthy of our April Fool’s Edition! They tell us everything from how they met, to how they came up
with their name, to all of the projects that they are currently involved in. Not only do they give us an insight on who the Moon Geeks really are, they give us a lot of laughs as well!

This week we are joined by the walking WWE encyclopedia, Leon, as we talk all things WrestleMania 39! Leon gives us his predictions and thoughts on it all as well as who his Mount Rushmore of WWE is (this is harder than you’d think!). Not only does Leon know so much about wrestling but he also has some great opinions on it all. Give this one a listen and let us know your thoughts on WrestleMania 39!

On this weeks episode, we are saddened to hear about the passing of Disney Legend and imagineer, Rolly Crump. With his quirky and fun personality Crump stole the hearts of everyone he would come in contact with (he sure did steal ours!!). From Haunted Mansion to It’s a small world and Enchanted Tiki Room, Crump has pieces of himself all over Disneyland and Walt Disney World. We replay one of our favorite interviews with Rolly so that all of you can truly hear what an amazing man and imagineer he really was! Rolly, thanks for always sharing your experiences with us and keep shining on!

In our 175th episode, we decided to let you behind the scenes into who Greg is. From his upbringing to learning about something he has lived with for as long as he can remember. We talk about why he always wears a white tshirt and shorts and why he takes so long to shower and get ready. Originally this episode was going to break down all 3 of his personas, Greg, Crazy Greg and Poohbear. Due to talking way too long on the “Greg” part of it all… we decided to make it a 3 parter! Just a heads up… this one gets a little deep!!

Happy Halloween!…. Wait, it’s March. Well I’m honor of Six Flags around the country announcing their “Scream Break” week, we are breaking down Six Flags Great Adventure’s Fright Fest. Everything from the opening date to what it has become today. Although most years Fright Fest is pretty much the same as the last, it’s something we always make sure to do each Halloween season. We love hearing the shaking cans, seeing the scraping shovels and the fog all around the park. Bring Halloween season back for a day and enjoy some Fright Fest!

If you know, you know… WAWA. This episode is all about the East Coast cult following of Wawa. From their amazing and fresh hoagies to their perfectly brewed coffee, Wawa knows how to make their customers happy (and keep coming back for more!). We break down the beginnings of Wawa and the transformation all through the years. Let’s just say Wawa has always been way ahead of it’s time! We talk everything from our go to hoagies to why we think they are so successful. So go grab a Classic size hoagie and your cup of seasonal coffee, join Greg in his Wawa chant (or don’t) and give this one a listen.

This episode is so bad it’s good! This week we are talking about the top 5 movies we watched as kids that were so bad that they were actually so good. Everything from an arm wrestling trucker to a boy in a bubble… we watched some strange movies as kids!
According to Greg all of his movies are “iconic” and rotten tomatoes is crazy for giving the ratings they gave. But the Nostalgia is real for us in this episode as we talk and reminisce all about our childhood.

In the most colorful episode yet we take a trip over to the Crayola Experience in Easton, PA. In a spur of the moment decision we threw the kids in the car (not literally) and drove over to spend the day at the Crayola Experience. We were more than surprised to see that they offered even more than you would think! From customizing your own crayon to a 2 story “Color Playground”, this place did not disappoint! Make a trip over there to see the largest Crayola collection in the world (literally!) and to make some really cool crayon molds. The Crayola Experience is the perfect day for some family fun! Although Greg and Alex definitely think they would have had a blast all by themselves!

3…2…1…Bring on the Royal Rumble! This week we talk with Joey Caps all about the upcoming Royal Rumble. From winner predictions to what in the world we think a “Pitch Black” match will be. We explain our Royal Rumble pool and how Alex is the reigning champ. Give this one a listen and try to make sense of why Greg thinks Omos will win it all this year and why Alex thinks it shouldn’t be Cody Rhodes to come out victorious. With our favorite WWE event of the year this weekend, it’s safe to say we couldn’t resist dedicating an entire episode to it!

This week we bring you the most Annoying episode ever! We talk about all of the things that really get under our skin and make us crazy. From Alex's absolute hatred for the sound of chewing to Greg’s feelings on cute (or not so cute) couple nicknames. Since we couldn’t fit everything that really annoys us into one sitting, make sure to stay after the end for a bonus segment!

Happy Friday the 13th! In typical Friday the 13th fashion… weird things occurred and our plans have gotten a bit off track! So we went back to our roots and are breaking down season 38 of The Challenge: Ride or Dies. We talk all about the pairs/teams and of course, all of the drama! Who we think will come out on top and who we think may not be as lucky. It wasn’t the Friday the 13th we originally planned for but it’s never a bad time to talk about The Challenge.
