Listeners of Matt & Ramona Off Air that love the show mention: charlotte, love matt,The Matt & Ramona Off Air podcast is a must-listen for fans of the duo who want more of their hilarious banter and entertaining stories. As an avid listener for over 14 years, I have been hooked on this podcast since they stopped broadcasting in my area. The chemistry between Matt and Ramona is undeniable, and their balance of humor and storytelling keeps me engaged episode after episode.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the opportunity to hear more from Matt and Ramona without interruptions or time constraints. They have a natural comedic timing and their dynamic is unbeatable. I especially enjoy hearing about their personal lives and the relatable anecdotes they share. The addition of guests during Ramona's leave has brought fresh perspectives and added variety to the show.
However, one downside to the podcast is its relatively short length. While it satisfies my craving for Matt and Ramona content, I often find myself wanting more. The radio show had more talk time, which allowed for deeper discussions and extended segments. I wish the podcast could match that same level of content.
In conclusion, The Matt & Ramona Off Air podcast is a gem among podcasts for fans of Matt and Ramona's radio show. It offers a continuous stream of laughter with its engaging banter, humorous stories, and relatable experiences. While its length may leave some craving more, it remains a must-listen for those who enjoy a good laugh.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Things change a little when comes to Christmas gift exchanges. (Age gets us all, doesn't it?) Ramona discusses her preferred gift-slash-love language.

(Or don't if you're like me.) Listen here!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ramona took a road trip! It was exciting! Except for the waiting! There was a lot of that! Heading up through the mid-atlantic to the northeast via electric vehicle, her (and her navigator, too, I assume) learned the art of patience while charging. And also finding charging.

I assure you, you're not the only one with questions when you hear that Matt's fashion inspiration is a bear that doesn't wear pants. But he makes it make sense. Wait, that's a lie. It doesn't make sense. It's borne from a conversation about the show's collective lack of comfort with their body image (and how harshly most of the show judges others.) You can also hear how 3rd grade JD was an over eager beaver and I write that because he doesn't believe he was a teacher's pet. More of a teacher's enthusiast. There's probably no difference. Listen here!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ramona attempts to be a better, less judgy person when it comes to other people's coughing.

Buckle up for the laughter because this one is... something. It starts with JD being bamboozled by a bat at a Halloween store which turns into pranks are only for children which turns into what would you do if you saw a dead guy? But the gold really gets struck when JD tries us to amaze us the revelation that you can no longer by a single stamp. Which spoiler: you totally can. It's just that he didn't buy a stamp. He wound up spending extra money and buying extra envelopes and well, it's best (and funniest) just to hear it from him. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It's an age old question, really. On today's pod, Matt makes the case that uncrustables are good for all ages and he has the backing of The Wall Street Journal... The periodical did a deep(ish) dive on adults that enjoy the 90's lunchbox staple that was meant for kids. Is there a cutoff age for children's snacks?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Ramona expresses disappointment in the things Matt doesn't tell her. Like he's going to be in the Matthews Alive prade. *And* that his USC daughter is pledging a sorority. Yay for that! Until.

Which is the perfect time for a mash-up word: Name-nesia. It's become more apparent as she nickname-bombs the unexpected.

Hear how she's (mis)handling committing new names to memory. Matt also point blank asks Ramona "what age do you have to be to be considered old?" to which she has a very specific answer and a very specific plan. Listen!

Other topics: Parking garages, what to bring to parties and what should start on time. Oh, and dancing! Check out the latest pod.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Matt's daughter is on to college! Parents (and students) were required to attend USC's orientation. While Matt is an absolutely doting dad, he is also completely capable of mortifying his daughter.

The podcast is here! It starts with Ramona debriefing us on a situation where a friend tried to do good in the dementia community... It was a heart-lifting situation with a caveat. Perhaps a permission slip wasn't filled out. Matt had a devolvement of a day. To try to type it, we could never do it justice. Listen in! Laugh as hard as we did! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Father's Day means homemade gifts! A childhood staple is often the creative crafting of making Dad a coupon book. I know I used to offer hugs, mowing the lawn or general niceness to mine. Well.

The moving misadventures continue for Ramona. She lost a set of physical keys. The situation was so dire that even a traditional locksmith could't help her. We also dove into the fragile topic of Matt attending the Celebration of Life in the wake of his mother's recent passing. And how inappropriate his speech is going to be. Let's just say the family expects it and has set the bar down low. Listen here!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The two aren't related, we swear. Upon moving into her new home, Ramona is forced to face her biggest fear: Technology. Not helping at all - Matt bestows upon us the horrors of Toe Wrestling.
