• Christian Finnegan - New Music For Olds
    2025/08/01

    Holy heck, it's another ep! And what a great piece of ep it is.

    Today in the Ol' Hobby Hole, we welcome Christian Finnegan, a comedian/writer/actor who you might know from Chappelle's Show or VH1's Best Week Ever. Christian tells Dan and Zach about his current project, a Substack for older folks who want to discover good new music called New Music For Olds. We also discuss movies, collaging, Dan's first job in the big city, and...of course... butts. It's one for the ages!

    My New Thing is a comedy podcast featuring interviews with the funniest people on the planet discussing their latest obsessions! We're talking hobbies, sports, video games, and obscure films you can only find on VHS. It's a podcast where comedians talk about anything but how they got started in the biz! What a relief.

  • Orli Matlow - War
    2025/07/18

    Wow, oh, wow! Our podcast about hobbies is suddenly setting out to solve every social ill!

    Comedian Orli Matlow joins us at the UN of podcast studios... Zach's apartment! Orli is an extremely talented comedy writer who also happens to host an anti-war podcast called War Is Stupid: An Anti-War Podcast About War, so instead of our usual banter about which movie we like the most, we immediately jump into a talk about global conflicts, race, religion, and cheering on your country like it's a sports team. It's funny, we swear!
