Dave Smith came over for the State of the Union! Dave breaks down what the hell is going on in America and around the world in our annual Skeptic Tank State of The Union, which is usually done in the beginning of the year. It's always a great conversation with Dave and this time is no different. It's a long one, almost five hours. I hope you enjoy!

Andy Haynes came in to talk to me about his job as a mover. He became a mover the day he moved to New York and was doing it throughout the pandemic. It turns out lots of comics do it because of the flexibility and cash under the table. Plus you get a pretty good workout.

Big Jay Oakerson made me pick him up at the airport as my last responsibility as producer (Jewish term) of his new standup special, Dog Belly. I’m so proud of him. The special is amazing. I still find his fashion and musical tastes to be problematic but his standup is among the best in the world.

Joe and Henry came over to kill some time with me before we all headed to the Whit Reaper concert. A natural way to kill time is by talking about all the weird times you've had in strip clubs across the country. Enjoy.

Rick Glassman is pure magic. Not only is he the most interesting man in podcasting, he’s also a recovering dork who played Magic the Gathering for as many as 87 hours a week. Rick came over to Skeptic Tank Studios to boss my editor around and tell me all about the game that made Dungeons and Dragons quake in their elven boots.

Paul Virzi is a great comic but he's also kind of a Guido. Paying for meals is a guido thing. Saying "The Joshua Tree" is a Guido thing. Keeping your car SUPER clean...That's a Guido thing.
