The Brothers Raskin are Diggstown Men

Welcome to Olivarir County!

The Brothers Raskin crossed into Diggstown and its’s ten men up and ten men down. Remember: never con a conman, especially if he’s better than you. Brother Patrick fires up the grill with a Bear v. Beef throwdown. Is it better to serve the masses or the critic? Is there a difference between perfection or is perfection simply a sandwich that gets the job done? Don’t know? Patrick does.

The fellows pivot hard to a deep dive on Oliver Platt. Oliver Platt is one of America’s great character actors and the Brothers deep a toe into Lake Placid. Nope, not the site of 1980’s Miracle of Ice but the spot where Betty White said, “Thank you, Officer F*ck-Meat.” Yes, one of the Golden Girls was rooting for the crocodiles. Brother Ben highlights the benefits of Quick Change with Bill Murray and why it’s always a good idea to know where the landmarks are.

The Brothers Raskin can be found on Ben’s website, BennyRaskin.com.  Check out the website and ask the Brothers a question. Scout’s honor, they’ll answer it or at minimum give you a shoutout on the podcast. It’s a work in progress and they can use your support. Best of all, they haven’t started a Patreon page yet…yet.

Diggstown.

Doin' a Mow – The Brothers Raskin

Let's light this Roman Candle and see what God looks like. It's a big, bright episode — with original music by Jack Johnson (kinda), heard first on The Brothers Raskin. Brother Patrick channels his inner aloha, debuting a new Jack Johnson track and riffing on how he fell for the guitar: cowboy chords, pop hooks, and the pure joy of live performance. From there, the Brothers pivot from surf vibes to cinema, crowning Nicolas Cage as the greatest living actor. They dig through his wild catalog, swapping favorites and debating the sacred Mt. Rushmore of where "Face/Off" belongs. Here's the New York Times interview with Nicolas Cage that Brother Ben references — a must‑read for anyone who loves the man, the myth, and the meme. A funny, free‑wheeling, and heartfelt ride. Be a mensch and tell a friend.
