53. Grace Helbig Set a Place for Herself in the Public Eye & is Wearing a Tank Top
01:00:25||Season 1, Ep. 53Grace 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!Chapters0:00 - Intro1:00 - Big Bear Eagle4:00 - Love Island6:00 - Reality TV10:00 - Authenticity Online14:00 - Phone Addiction18:00 - World Cup28:00 - Podcast Culture34:00 - Unplugging36:00 - Competitive Table Setting47:00 - Peter Thiel List54:00 - Groupchats57:00 - Cheesecake Factory

52. Jon Gabrus is the King of Tank Tops
01:07:20||Season 1, Ep. 52Folks, 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.51. Gareth Reynolds is Cocaine Personified in a Tank Top
01:07:10||Season 1, Ep. 51Gareth may not have come with his own tank top in tow but he made sure to bring his sparkling wit and signature charm! You may know Gareth from his various podcasts - The Dollop makes me cry laughing - or from his hilarious stand-up act. It was a real treat to have him join us in the tank top treefort to discuss cocaine, vasectomies, and also cocaine. Plus, Gareth has the pleasure of explaining the Costco Guys to Matt in full detail! Strap on your skimpiest tank and tune in!50. Rob Haze is Wearing a Jersey Tank Top but not Yellow Leather Shorts
01:03:11||Season 1, Ep. 50Our 50th episode features the hilarious Rob Haze. Put simply, Rob cracks me up good. Extremely dry and insightful, he’s not what you’d call a high-energy entertainer, but that’s what makes him great. A lot of comics (like, say, me) have used big energy and being loud to cover up their lack of strong material. Not Rob. We got into whether shorts are ok to wear onstage, doing comedy at noon on a college campus, the genius of Morris Day, and why Mel Brooks should be the only old person allowed to be the President. Throw on a jersey tank and listen in!49. Will Pepper is Recovering from a Family Cruise in a Tank Top
54:54||Season 1, Ep. 49Will Pepper has a joke about visiting Vietnam and “feeling white” that made me immediately follow him online. His outlook and perspective are hilarious on stage, and he’s got a great family story as well. In fact, his dad is low-key famous from Will’s videos (check them out— his dad‘s laugh is infectious). My only requirement for a guest is that they be either funny or interesting and Will is both. Enjoy!48. Patrick Walsh is a Writer/Cinephile/Costco Slut in a Tank Top
57:35||Season 1, Ep. 48Hilarious on stage, Vine (RIP), and a writer (currently on “Ms. Pat” on BET), Patrick Walsh is one of those guys who is reliably funny AND prolific. Not a huge tank top guy (those are, admittedly, rare on the show (irony!), Patrick nonetheless joined with a banger of a tank. We talked writing for TV, comedy, movies, and he even shared some savage tea about a famous Brit he worked with. Want the hot goss? Throw on a tank and tune in!47. Melissa Stephens is a Comedian, Writer, Director, Producer, and Tank Top Wearer
56:28||Season 1, Ep. 47You might recognize Melissa from her appearances on Californication, New Girl, Key and Peele, or Black Monday. She’s also an old stand-up pal of mine who used to produce a legendary show downtown called Holy Fuck (Great name, no?). She’s got a new stand-up special coming out soon called “Sparkle” about all the bad jobs she’s worked along the way (which, come on, amazing idea). We had a hilarious convo and you should throw this ep on immediately. Tanks!
