In this episode of Crazy Real, Bugge & Zogg sit down with Syracuse Fire Department Lieutenant David Corbett and retired Syracuse Fire Department lieutenant Auggie Matt for a candid, funny, and eye-opening conversation about life in the fire service. With Jenn "Bugge"'s husband Todd serving in the Syracuse Fire Department, this episode carries an especially personal connection and offers a real look at what it means to live the life of a firefighter.

From getting hired and facing first fires to the brotherhood of the firehouse, dark humor, EMS calls, and the emotional weight that comes with the job, David and Auggie share powerful stories and honest insight from years in the field. They also talk about firehouse culture, teamwork, family support, and the experiences that stay with firefighters long after the call ends.

It’s heartfelt, hilarious, and deeply respectful of the people who dedicate their lives to showing up when others need them most.

This week on Bugge & Zogg, Jenn and Marissa are joined by Jenn’s cousin, Mark Shattuck, for a hilarious and honest conversation about parenting, family dynamics, and growing up with a little more grit. From old school Italian moms and brutally honest family commentary to participation trophies, school discipline, and raising kids with thicker skin, this episode is packed with laugh-out-loud stories and real talk. Mark also shares some personal stories about his mom, family life, and why the people who tell it to you straight are sometimes the ones who love you the most. It’s funny, chaotic, heartfelt, and exactly the kind of family conversation you can only have on Bugge & Zogg.

In this episode of Crazy Real with Bugge & Zogg, Jenn and Marissa sit down with Alex Canavan, founder of CNY Women’s Network and host of Cultivate with Alex Canavan, to talk about what it really takes to build something meaningful from the ground up. Alex opens up about launching the CNY Women’s Summit at just 22 years old, growing a community for women in business, navigating entrepreneurship in Syracuse, and balancing personal heartbreak with the pressure of showing up publicly as a leader. From networking and brand-building to fitness, ambition, and learning to care less about what doesn’t matter, this conversation is equal parts inspiring, honest, and refreshingly real.

In this episode of Crazy Real with Bugge & Zogg, Bugge and Zogg sit down with Anthony Tringale, the creator of Eat Local New York (@eatlocalnewyork), to talk all things food, restaurants, and the reality behind the hospitality industry.

Anthony shares how he built Eat Local New York from the ground up, what inspired him to start spotlighting local restaurants, and why supporting small food businesses matters more than ever. He also gets brutally honest about the Syracuse food scene, what makes a restaurant succeed or fail, and how he handles the pressure of promoting places without being a traditional food critic.

From favorite local spots and hidden gems to hot takes on Italian food in Syracuse, restaurant marketing, and the wild moments that come with internet fame, this conversation is funny, sharp, and full of real insight.

If you love food, local business stories, and unfiltered opinions, this is one you won’t want to miss.

In Episode 7 of Crazy Real with Bugge & Zogg, Jenn “Bugge” brings on her cousin Mark for a full-on pop culture hangout that starts with a Stranger Things binge… and turns into a rapid-fire tour of the shows (and reality TV chaos) they can’t stop thinking about.

Bugge’s fresh off a two-week Stranger Things marathon and emotionally wrecked in the best way, while Mark makes a strong case for why the series is truly top-tier. They try to convince Zogg to give it another shot (gore, Demogorgons and all), swap recommendations like His & Hers, The Beast in Me, American Horror Story, Homeland, and The Traitors, and then take a hard left into Housewives territory with Salt Lake City and Below Deck debates, reunion drama, and the kind of side stories only this crew can deliver (including a truly ridiculous “blow-up shark” police call).

It’s funny, chaotic, super relatable, and basically feels like being on the couch with friends while the streaming queue keeps growing.

Want Mark back as a regular? Same.

In Episode 6 of Crazy Real with Bugge & Zogg, Jenn “Bugge” and Marissa “Zogg” welcome psychic and medium Jessica, aka ESP_by_Jessica, for a candid, funny, and surprisingly grounding conversation about what it’s actually like to live with the gift.

Jessica shares the moment she first realized she could connect with spirit—when she was just a little kid—and explains how she learned to manage it over time (including how she turns it off when the energy gets overwhelming). Bugge & Zogg dig into the difference between a psychic and a medium, what a session feels like in-person vs. over the phone, and why Jessica encourages a healthy dose of skepticism—because your first reading shouldn’t be with someone who’s just fishing for answers.

You’ll also hear Jessica talk about using tarot as a tool (and why the same cards keep showing up when nothing in your life has changed), how kids can be more spiritually receptive, and the very real boundaries she keeps in place—especially when someone’s energy feels unsafe or when a situation is truly mental-health related (not spiritual).

If you’ve ever been curious about readings, energy, or why your gut is louder than you want to admit… this one’s for you.

In Episode 5 of Crazy Real with Bugge & Zogg, Jenn “Bugge” and Marissa “Zogg” welcome on Jenn’s longtime friend Kelly Shetsky for a conversation that’s equal parts heartbreaking, inspiring, and very real. Kelly shares the story of her daughter Regan, who tragically passed away at nearly four years old, and how their family turned unimaginable loss into a lasting mission through Regan’s Acts of Kindness.

Kelly walks Bugge & Zogg through the community projects that keep Regan’s memory shining—like the ornament drive that brings joy to thousands of kids each year, the annual book drive in Regan’s birth month, and the beloved “Regan’s Corner” at the Wild Animal Park. They also talk candidly about grief—how different it looks for everyone, why people can feel awkward around loss, and what it means to “grieve better busy.”

And because this is Crazy Real, the episode also takes a hilarious turn into parenting older kids—middle school chaos, teen attitudes, Snapchats, “letting it marinate,” and all the stuff nobody warns you about.

If you’ve ever wondered how to keep someone’s legacy alive—or you just need a reminder that kindness still spreads farther than you think—this episode will stick with you.

They also dig into whether Park Hopper is worth it for first-timers, how to build in pool days so it still feels like a vacation, and money-saving tips like grocery delivery, snacks in the park, and smarter meal planning.
