Matteo goes on a funny rant about the saying ‘you’re only as young as you act’ because he’s been acting like he’s in college life forever. It’s some real talk about aging and whether age is just a number. He brings some stand up comedy to the topic with positive vibes only. #funnypodcast #funny #comedyvideo
Matteo discusses the possibility that UFOs aren’t here for good, but to give Earth an intergalactic HOA violation. He jokes about our wild behavior and breaking universal rules, especially after we started testing the atomic bomb. Perhaps their visit was due to our nuclear test.
What happens
In this hilariously horrifying episode, I dive into the terrifying world of night terrors—from watching my grandma melt like a candle, to my teeth crumbling out of my mouth, to waking up convinced my wife was eating my fingers. And of course, no episode on sleep terror is complete without the classic shadowy figure choking me in the corner. It’s spooky, it’s weird, and somehow—it’s funny. If you’ve ever woken up screaming or just want to hear someone else’s sleep demons for a change, this one’s for you.
My kids think I’m a doctor. I’m not. But that doesn’t stop them from asking about every bump, bruise, and weird rash. In this episode, I rant about being a fake family physician, why health influencers are often full of crap, and how you should stop listening to people who’ve never done anything and start chasing your dreams instead. If you’ve ever Googled a symptom, bought a supplement off Instagram, or felt talked down to by a guy drinking mushroom tea in a van — this one’s for you.
Ever tried to bond with nature and got socked in the face by a deer instead? In this episode, I share a ridiculous story from a family reunion where I learned the hard way that deer don’t like acorns… or me. Covered in mud and shame, I faced the one enemy scarier than the deer: my disappointed father. Then I go off on a much-needed rant about health influencers — the juicers, the detoxers, and the “just walk more” crowd. If you’ve ever felt judged by someone with a ring light and a blender, this one’s for you. 🎧 Subscribe for weekly storytime + rants 📱 Follow on TikTok/IG: @matteoeltapatio

In this episode of Hot Takes Hotter Mistakes, I take a walk — and immediately regret checking the neighborhood Facebook page. From Chad the grocery line enforcer, to Linda the siren detective, to Kathy yelling about cat turds at 6:30am — we explore the dark underbelly of community forums, HOA watchdogs, and grown adults trying to schedule fistfights on social media.

Then it’s off to the open water for a kayak fishing trip gone sideways—literally. What do you save when your boat flips: the $200 pole or the sun-saving hat that keeps you out of trouble with your wife? To wrap it up, Matteo goes off on people who act like food snobs—because let’s be honest, who made you the sauce boss?
