InTalksicated Podcast

It's the last episode of 2022 and I'm tying a bow on this weird year with a great episode! I chat with the hilarious and insightful KYLE CARPENTER! He and I chat about toxic fandom communities, holiday obligations, his clear approach to writing, how to develop a premise, the "next step" in joke writing, paths not taken, the value of pets, his accurate reads of people, gift giving and being a serial hobbyist. We also talk about the value of a quality over quantity approach to comedy and life, committing to learning, cringey aspects of our pasts, setting boundaries and our mutual love of happy sad music. PLUS: Is Carly Rae Jepsen better than Taylor Swift? What kind of insecure is Sarah? and Does Kyle Spoil his dog?

This is an episode for the books! Returning to the podcast for a 3rd appearance is one of my favourite people and past guests, the lovable and hilarious Bryan Otter!There's really no where we DON'T go on the podcast. There are stories, revelations and feelings. We dive into: disordered eating, existential dread, positivity as a coping mechanism, his fear of clowns, the loss the best cat in the world (RIP Science), our thoughts on what makes a close friends, what family means to us and why having 1000 hobbies is a distraction of bigger issues.
