Episode 47 of People We Could Live Without is a very special episode for us. We sit down with the pod’s very own Maggie Dever—Philly’s newest viral sensation and 18-year-old comedy mega-star.
We’ve been there since day one of Maggie’s thriving comedy career, before all the big moves and celebrity name drops. This episode takes an affectionate look back at the absolutely insane speed of her rise. We talk about meeting Matt McCusker, her very first open mic set being on the famous Helium stage, and what happened after she went viral with her Philly’s Phunniest set.
We also get into Maggie being talked about by Big Jay Oakerson on The Bonfire, appearing on FOX 29 just weeks into being a comic, and launching her own podcast at only 18.
From her first open mic to viral clips, TV appearances, and building her own platform, Maggie’s story is moving ridiculously fast—and we were lucky enough to be there from the beginning.

Episode #46 - Joey "Lupapi" Lupo
Episode 46 of People We Could Live Without features Jersey comedian and full-time conspiracy theorist Joey Lupo. This episode goes completely off the rails as we uncover the disturbing truth that Gaby bites Ricky a lot, discuss whether Dave Grohl eats babies (allegedly), debate if aliens are actually demons, dive into mind control experiments, and hear stories from Joey's time working on Shark Week and Jersey Shore. If you've ever wanted to hear three comedians connect government conspiracies, reality TV, and unexplained bite marks, this is the episode for you.

Episode #45 - Danny Hicks
“Big Rick” Paciorek sits down with South Jersey/Philly comedian Danny Hicks (@danny_hicks_comedy) for a conversation that moves between hard truths and off-the-wall humor. Danny opens up about his upbringing, navigating the foster care and legal systems, and the wild stories that shaped him. Including a childhood full of stitches and the lengths he went to just to get by.The episode doesn’t stay heavy for long, though. The two dive into everything from stepdads and street life to 90s B-movies, chicken seasoning debates, paintball vs. laser tag, and Rick questions Dannys "Black Card" with a trivia game.
