Joel and Benji Madden from Good Charlotte hang with me and we get into growing up working class in Maryland, the anxiety that somehow hit one twin way harder than the other, and how their priorities around fame and success have changed with family. We talk about Silverchair inspiring them early on, playing with Luke Combs at Stagecoach, and what Eddie Vedder’s apology years later taught them. They explain to me about One Piec...

Jordan Jensen and Ian Fidance, from their podcast Bein’ Ian, come by the kitchen where I surprise Ian with the only surviving artifact from the bus fire. We also talk about my questionable method for stopping panic attacks, whether comedians hooking up with fans is a me-too offense, getting kicked off swim team and the anchovy bone that nearly killed me at a Travel Channel dinner. And all this while I make enough Loco Moco t...

Russell Dickerson hangs out with me to talk about staying authentic and building a country music career after every label passed on him. We get into how his wife helped turn “Yours” into a hit, growing up in a musical family, his teenage metal phase, fatherhood, marriage, and why being a goofy husband and dad works better than trying to act like a mysterious country star. Plus, we talk about his new album, Famous Back H...

Punk legends Fat Mike and El Hefe, of NOFX fame, come by the kitchen and I immediately fan-girl out on them and their new documentary. We talk about the final tour, the pressure of playing the same songs for 40 years, the weird beauty of self-deprecation, and what it means to actually be punk. There are coke stories, Bad News Bears lies, and a song about how no one can pronounce my last name. Follow NOFX: https://www.instagram.co...

Jake Johnson drops by and we compare our completely opposite approaches to set etiquette, life on the road and surprise parties. We also get into dyslexia, raising kids who think differently, money, fame, and my completely reasonable anger over Apple TV’s release schedule of his new bingeable show, Maximum Pleasure Overdrive… I mean Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed.

I’ve got Nigel Ng, AKA Uncle Roger, and Jimmy O Yang and for some insane reason I decided to cook Uncle Roger’s famous fried rice from his new cookbook. We talk Asian algorithms, Jamie Oliver, wet markets, Midwest sports culture, and why white guys have unshakable confidence. We also cover gout drinks, Genghis Khan, and colonialism. It’s a real spectrum of topics… Follow Nigel: https://www.instagram.com/...

Pete Holmes is back and this one somehow turns into a full-blown therapy session about comedy, anxiety, priming, Instagram, sobriety, and why your brain is probably being hijacked by everything you scroll past. We also talk Shane Gillis, Chelsea Handler, bad press, and Pete’s special Silly Silly Fun Boy — which is honestly phenomenal.

David Wain and Ken Marino come by the kitchen and I immediately lose my mind over their new movie, it’s THAT good. I also make some Sri Lankan lobster while we do a full-on comedy nerd breakdown on about The State, Wet Hot American Summer, and why nobody writes comedy like this anymore. Catch their new movie "Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass" in theaters July 10th. Follow: Ken Marino: https://www.instagram.com/ke...

Johnny Knoxville comes by the studio and it’s a full-circle episode for me. We talk about meeting for the first time in 1997 before either one of us was famous. How we both ended up on the cover of Rolling Stone, the birth of Jackass, getting wrecked by bulls, the chemistry of the cast that made pain funny, Ryan Dunn, Theo Von, being dads, what we can expect from the last Jackass movie and what comes next.FollowJohnny: https:...

Noga Erez and Ori Rousso hang out with me while I make a kugel, roast some cauliflower and ask every dumb American question I can think of about Israel. We talk kosher food, awkward hugs, drunk alter egos, comedy as a love language, and why Tel Aviv food might ruin everywhere else. We also deep dive how their music somehow hits hip-hop, EDM, R&B, and Radiohead all at once. Follow Noga: https://www.instagram.com/nogaerez Ori:...
