Tank Top Talks w/ Matt Braunger

If you haven’t watched Luke Mones’ “Woke Trump” bit from his Don’t Tell Comedy set, go watch it on YouTube now. I’ll wait. Hilarious, right? Luke is one of my favorite comics out there and not just because he’s from my hometown of Portland. He wore a Trailblazer jersey to the taping and we got into some really, really interesting/funny stuff. Do you need an hour of laughs in these trying times? Throw on this episode and enjoy some Luke. Tanks!

Drew Landry writes jokes so good it makes me mad. I’d met him a while back, but we rarely see each other outside of random LA shows, but I follow him online. If you like to laugh, you should also follow Drew online. One of those guys who kind of fly under the radar, yet is always throwing hilarious stuff out there. I loved getting his story, his perspective, and also finding out he spent over a year wearing only tank tops lol. Listen now!

I did a movie with Sherry Cola—Yeah, I said it!! We aren’t in any scenes together, but it counts! Sherry Cola is truly America’s Sweetheart. You might know her from her recent run on Apple TV’s “Shrinking” or from the hit movie “Joy Ride,” but if you don’t yet, you will. Her joy and hilarious outlook are infectious and, even though she kept a jacket over her tank, she killed it with me at the Netflix Fest recording in LA. We did it, tank top folks! Listen in now. 

It’s not a tank top, but DVK could show up in a tux and I’d let him on the show. I last saw Daniel when he came up behind me in Las Vegas and yanked me out of my chair yelling, “You gotta go! Nope! You gotta go!” The fact that he was dressed like a bouncer helped the comedy. Known for his hilarious hosting on the Dumb People Town podcast with The Sklar Brothers, Daniel is also a top-notch stand-up. We got into some serious stuff, some silly stuff, and even what’s next for us entertainers. Strap on a survivalist tank top and listen in! 

Jay Jurden is a hilarious, handsome, opinionated man with a penchant for calling out the elephant in any room. I’ve wanted Jay on the podcast for a while for his quick wit, his shoot-from-the-hip style, and the fact that he looks great in a tank. We had a packed house at the legendary Higbie’s in Austin, Texas at the Moontower Festival, and I can say I don’t remember a recording that was more fun than this one. Throw on a tank, and maybe a cowboy hat, and enjoy.

I first discovered Sam Sanders in his interview with Chris Fleming and was knocked out by how much fun he was having. I thought to myself, “I want to have that much fun on MY podcast, let’s have him on,” I reached out, he responded, “Why not?”, and here we are. Sam hosts the Sam Sanders Show on KCRW and it is a delight. He’s funny, engaged, smart, and fun to listen to. It was great to have a real pro on to dig in, debate, and just have a blast with. Throw on a tank top and take a listen.
