  • Tyler Wells Runs Restaurants in Los Angeles in a Tank Top (Kind of)

    Tyler Wells Runs Restaurants in Los Angeles in a Tank Top (Kind of)
    2026/09/01
    If you eat out in LA and you like tasty food and good vibes, you’ve probably gone to All Time in Los Feliz or Betsy’s in Altadena. A co-founder of the first and the owner of the second, Tyler first came on the scene with Handsome Coffee, a company he later sold to make his first restaurant. During renovations on my house years ago, I used to walk over to All Time covered in drywall dust and treat myself to a coffee. After a week or two, Tyler told the staff to stop charging me for them. Since then we’ve been buds and I’ve been trying to get him on Tank Top Talks forever. If you’re into restaurants, starting a business, or just about treating people on all sides the right way, this is the episode for you.

  • Will Sasso is the Funniest Man in a Will Sasso Tank Top

    Will Sasso is the Funniest Man in a Will Sasso Tank Top
    2026/08/25

    Everybody loves Will Sasso, including me. First, as a massive fan (like everybody), and second, as a friend. He mentored me through my Mad TV days (what days there were), and I’ve had the honor of auditioning against him many, many times (I’ve yet to win, not surprising). Anyway, he’s a new dad and a great guy and Kenny Rogers’ Jackass is the funniest sketch of all time. Throw on a tank top and listen to us yap!

  • Jessica Boudreaux Rocks a Tank Top and an Electric Guitar, Equally

    Jessica Boudreaux Rocks a Tank Top and an Electric Guitar, Equally
    2026/08/18
    Jessica Boudreaux is probably best known for being the lead guitarist and singer of the seminal rock band Summer Cannibals, but she’s also a cancer survivor, producer, and old friend of mine to boot. Originally from Louisiana, Jessica founded SC in my hometown of Portland, Oregon, later moving to LA to do her own thing as a producer. She now produces music for herself and other musicians and she made time to come on my pod. This ep is a little more introspective than the others, but that made it great. Throw on your most artistic tank, and enjoy.

    Here at Tank Top Talks, we’ve had some real big laughs, but I don’t think we’ve ever had one like the “Winconsinbly” one. Laura Peek is one of my favorite comics working today, a hell of a nice person, and a dear friend. There is a part of this podcast where Laura, myself, and podcast engineer Max all were legit crying from laughter. You should go see Laura but also, if you want a good laugh, listen to this episode. Tanks!

  • Fumi Abe Feels Racist in a Tank Top

    Fumi Abe Feels Racist in a Tank Top
    2026/08/04

    You may know Fumi Abe from the Tonight Show, the Late Show, or as a writer on Seth McFarlane's Ted, but I know him for his incredible bravery. He showed up to record this week with no tank top in hand, and accepted the challenge of wearing my clearly-too-big Santa Cruz tank top for 58 minutes and 31 seconds. We covered a lot of ground – the strong connection between racism and tank tops, New York vs. Los Angeles, Kyle Rittenhouse, the financial realities of the Italian Renaissance period – honestly no stone was left unturned. Throw on your favorite sleeveless upper-garment and tune into this week's ep of Tank Top Talks!

    Allan McLeod is on a Long Walk in a Tank Top
    2026/07/28
    Walking About’s Allan McLeod joins me to FINALLY JUST SIT DOWN. His acclaimed podcast features him and a guest walking around an area and learning its history, while mine (not acclaimed) features two schlubs in tank tops, in chairs. Nice to give him a break. Oh, he’s also a legendarily funny sketch and improv comedian. Listen in and find out how he got the name “Molasses Boy.”

  • Grace Helbig Set a Place for Herself in the Public Eye & is Wearing a Tank Top

    Grace Helbig Set a Place for Herself in the Public Eye & is Wearing a Tank Top
    2026/07/21

    Grace Helbig is a hilarious online icon, full stop. She’s got millions of followers, untold hours of online content, and never (to my mind) came off like a person who NEEDS attention. When people started vlogging, I couldn’t find many that I liked, arguing that you couldn’t pump out interesting stuff that often. Grace proved me wrong. She’s always interesting and funny, whether it’s her long-running show The Daily Grace (RIP) or her podcast “This Might Get Weird.” I somehow forgot to talk about how she was at my wedding, but we covered everything else, I think. Give yourself some Grace (LOLLL) and listen in!

  • Jon Gabrus is the King of Tank Tops

    Jon Gabrus is the King of Tank Tops
    2026/07/14

    Folks, I'll be honest...we've been working our way up to Gabrus for a while now. In addition to being comedy podcast royalty (Action Boyz, Doughboys, High and Mighty, Comedy Bang! Bang!) at this point, he's also basically the king of tank tops. As he says himself, he feels most comfortable without sleeves, and that made this chat a real delight. We cover a lot of ground – the Key West lifestyle, tropical vacation shenanigans, acting class horror stories, improv and stand-up culture finally coexisting peacefully, and everything in between. Roll up your sleeves and take a listen – this is a fun one.
