For Episode 78 of Good Times Noodle Salad, Paige sits this one out as Matt is joined by guest host Devin and special guest Bobby Caine, better known as Motorcitymoto313.

Bobby talks about why he stepped back from riding motorcycles after getting a little too comfortable doing 150+ mph and lane splitting, the crashes that changed his perspective, and why he still isn't done with bikes. From there, the conversation takes a hard left into skateboarding, snowboarding, camping, Detroit's outdoor scene, and Bobby's mission to get more people outside and experiencing what Michigan has to offer.

They also get into the insanity of Isle of Man racing, MotoGP, Group B rally cars, motorcycle crashes, social media hate, content creation, and why going viral isn't always the goal.

It's motorcycles, outdoor adventures, Detroit, questionable life decisions, and three dudes arguing about things they probably should have researched beforehand.

Episode 78 of Good Times Noodle Salad is here.

Comedian Nicole Melnyk joins Matt and Paige for a wild, funny, and occasionally heated conversation that goes everywhere from stand-up comedy and podcasting to Joe Rogan, Kill Tony, wealth, politics, surveillance, AI, and why Nicole might be the only person capable of turning a podcast appearance into a full-on debate.

Nicole and Matt clash, agree, argue, and somehow keep the conversation hilarious as they discuss comedy influences, whether famous comedians inevitably become terrible people, the Saudi comedy festival, SNL, Flock cameras, privacy, misogyny in comedy, and the weird ways society reacts differently to men and women.

Plus, Nicole gives us her thoughts on the Good Times Noodle Salad origin story, Matt explains why he avoided stand-up for years before finally becoming obsessed with it, and by the end of the episode, Nicole and Matt are already pitching Melnyk vs. Matt as a potential monthly debate series.

It’s chaotic, opinionated, funny, and exactly the kind of conversation where nobody completely agrees—but everybody keeps talking.

For episode #76 of Good Times, Noodle Salad, Matt and Paige sit down with comedian Griffin Daniel for a nearly four-hour conversation that goes absolutely everywhere.

Griffin shares wild stories from more than two decades working in restaurants, including dangerous kitchen accidents, gas leaks, grease disasters, meat slicer injuries, terrible bosses, and the strange reality of being a skilled cook while servers can sometimes make more in a weekend. Matt and Griffin compare the chaos and safety culture of restaurant kitchens and construction sites, debate whether getting yelled at can actually keep people alive, and talk about the people who show up to a job thinking they know everything.

The conversation also gets into Flock cameras and privacy, government overreach, workplace surveillance, weird hospital experiences, scars, comedy, music, Chef, Dave Matthews Band, GWAR, and the search for purpose in whatever you do.

It’s a long one, a funny one, and full of the kind of stories that probably shouldn’t be told on a podcast—but we’re glad they were.

Good Times, Noodle Salad is a Metro Detroit podcast hosted by Matt and Paige, featuring comedians, musicians, creators, and interesting people with stories worth telling.
