  • Drew Hancock Wrote and Directed “Companion” but Forgot His Tank Top
    2026/03/10
    Drew Hancock is an old friend who was an absolute maniac for his art and it paid off. After working as a writer/director on a ton of things, he realized he wasn’t getting where he wanted to be and he spent a year on one script. After that year, he got new representation, sold the script, and even got the green light to direct what became “Companion.” He’s a great guy, a fantastic writer, and (most famously) played “Asshole Oates” of Hall & Oates on the web series Yacht Rock. If you are a writer or an actor or want to be in the biz, check this episode out (It’s low key a masterclass).

  • Vinny Thomas is Having a Good Time, Doing Great, Hilarious, and Young. Like me
    2026/03/03
    Vinny Thomas blew the f&%k up online. A stand-up comic and member of the Second City Improv Theater in Chicago, his real success was found in TikTok and Instagram posts. Perhaps you’ve seen his ‘Cheryl Hines goes to brunch’? His online performances, combined with his touring act, got him cast on the hit show “Platonic” with Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne. I reached out to have him on the show because I’ve spent too much time watching him online and wanted to meet him, and he did not disappoint. His bath house story alone is worth the episode. Enjoy!

  • Chris Fairbanks is Neil Diamond Having a Breakdown in a Tank Top
    2026/02/24
    Chris Fairbanks is one of the funniest people alive. His off-kilter delivery and pitch-perfect timing/absurdity is unique and fantastic and I’ve been a fan (as well as a friend) for decades. You might know him from his numerous televised sets or his podcast “Do You Need a Ride?” with Karen Kilgariff, but you might not know how funny this guy truly is. Listen if you want to laugh for a solid hour, no kidding.

  • Gerald Meerschaert Isn't a Heavy from Roadhouse But He Sure Looks Like One
    2026/02/17
    Gerald Meerschaert III (or GM3, as he’s known) is a husband, dad, gym owner, and a comedy nerd. He also holds the record for the most finishes in his weight class in the UFC (12) (!!). Unquestionably a bad ass, Gerald is also genuinely a hilarious guy. He doesn’t have any pretense or attitude about what he does, he just loves it and is good at it. We had a blast recording this one and I can’t wait for you to listen to it. GM3 rocks.

  • Ricky Carmona is Cuban, Colombian, American, Thriving, and Wearing a Tank Top
    2026/02/10
    My old friend-in-comedy-and-life Ricky Carmona is many things, not the least of which a good time. We first met doing stand-up in Chicago, just scraping by but loving it. To say we go way back doesn’t really scratch the surface. Ricky’s energy is contagious, and he BROUGHT IT to this recording. If you want an hour of a man on fire (via Cafecito y vida!), listen now.

  • Skyler Higley Writes Incredible Jokes in a Tank Top
    2026/02/03

    Skyler Higley’s comedy writing resume (The Onion, Conan, The Oscars, Comedy Central, more) is amazing for such a young dude. Every time I was a panelist on After Midnight, I asked to work with him, but I didn’t know much about him. Turns out he was raised by white Mormons (!!), or as he joking puts it “The enemy” lol. This was an extremely funny and fun one to do. Strap on your fave tank (it’s getting warmer soon, I swear!) and have a listen.

  • Maureen Bharoocha Makes Cool Shit in a Tank Top
    2026/01/27
    Film and television director Maureen Bharoocha has directed three major motion pictures (the newest of which has ME in it!) and dozens of TV show episodes, but she started out working at Sprinkles Cupcakes. Her journey is the best example of “If you can’t find a road, build one” I’ve come across, and her motto “Make cool shit” is something every artist should have a tattoo of (Maybe on their arm, so it’ll show in a tank top?). She’s such a boss, and I love her. Listen in now.

  • Christian Duguay is Bringing the Valley Heat in His Wife’s Tank Top
    2026/01/20

    Valley Heat is the funniest scripted podcast of all time and Christian Duguay is the creator and star. Granted, I’m biased, because I play the perpetually self-injured Codi, but a lot of other people (Patton Oswalt and Ed Helms among them) agree with me. Christian doesn’t own a tank top (In fact, he thinks they’re dumb), but he agreed to come on and make me laugh anyway. What a gem. Listen in for an hour of hilarity (and maybe check out Valley Heat too, no presh).
