2 ALs 1 Pod: A comedy podcast with a touch of crass. · Stand-up comedians Al Ducharme and Al Romas

2 Als 1 Pod Vol 174: From our Classic Vault Library of yesteryear. GUEST John DiCrosta

March 6, 2026·1 hr 4 min·5 clips
The vault setup is equal parts nostalgia, apology, and loose-mic comedy. Al Ducharme and Al Romas first frame the show as a renamed vault item, now called Al's OnePod, while also calling it the Walking Dicks Comedy Podcast and a spin-off of The Two Dicks. They immediately admit the Wi-Fi is terrible. That becomes the first running joke, because the intro is happening while they are still sorting out what is live and what is basically post-production. John DeCrosse comes in as the guest and gets greeted with the kind of half-chaotic welcome this show seems to like. The applause is thin enough that they joke about stealing a Who concert crowd in post. Once the interview gets moving, the hosts stay in their lane as comic instigators rather than polished moderators. A long stretch turns on adult comedy versus the way people mistake a PG set for something for kids. They make it clear that the act is not balloon animals anymore, even if that was once part of the bit. The conversation keeps circling back to the idea that TV clean is the better label than kid show. John talks about voiceover work and says he did three seasons on an adult animated show. That leads into a story about Bill from Boston, who used to open for him on road dates. The two had crossed paths on New England gigs and other travel-heavy runs. Later, they ran into each other at a fundraiser for someone who had passed away. Bill said the show had been greenlit again and was running out of voices. John sent over clips, then got asked to come in for a table read. The read took place in a hotel room with the animation company and the writers. The ending drifts into pure goofing, with legal-sounding jokes, Patreon plugs, and fix-it-in-post energy. It closes exactly where this show usually wants to be: noisy, crude, and still loose enough to feel alive.

As heard by us

Loose, rough-edged banter about adult comedy, voiceover work, and a table read that comes out of a Boston connection.

A brief caveat: the audio is rough in spots, so some of the banter gets muddy. Even so, this episode has a nice battered charm. Walking Dicks Comedy Podcast brings in Al Ducharme and Al Romas to introduce comedian and voiceover actor John DeCrosse, and the conversation stays…
