Bald Talk

Brian and Charlie have had a talent crush for on H. Jon Benjamin for years, and the celebrated voice actor (Bob's Burgers, Archer), actor and conceptual comedian joins them for a fantastic Bald Talk that wanders from fears of flying to the insanity of commercial auditioning to an imaginary film called Weenies. Jon discusses the downtown comedy scene in NY, his incredible work with Jon Glaser, and the power of stupid comedy, something he is still commited to with his compete jazz album he recorded despite not knowing how to play the piano. Jon's Bird Nerd status is challenged in a Bald Eagle Challenge. And of course, Jon's bald head is celebrated because Bald is Beautiful, baby!

Andrew finds refuge with Brian and Charlie's lefty, liberal podcast space and the three have deep and wandering convos about world hunger, how emipires fall, good 'ole Donny T, and the great but nihilistic film, The Dirty Dozen.

Bald Talk dares to get all perspectives on baldness, and this week's hilarious guests staunchly declare that they will most likely never date a baldie. Mark Sam Rosenthal - Comedy Central, The Gaytriot, Laughter Through Tears is Our Favorite Emotion, and Katie Morrissey DC Improv, Sarah Cooper: Everything is Fine, not only give their personal reasons as to why, but they are quizzed Yea or Nay to sex with our list of bald hotties and help us answer calls to our Bald Talk Advice Line on the challenges of bald dating. So many ingights are gained in this roundtable discussion; Katie might be a serial killer of baldies with a penchant for decapitation. Mark Sam makes consistently shallow choices but is trying a little more kindness. Brian is not a fan of extreme female grooming. And Charlie is revealed to be an adult milk drinker?! Gross.

Stand up, actor and podcast host of "Justifying My Movie Collection" and "We Watch Wrestling", Matt McCarthy describes his distinctive redheaded receeding hairline as bald curious. Matt gets into the self reliant power of stand up verses improv, his past love affair with mushrooms (the psychedelic kind), and he and Charlie bond over Matt's current love of pro wrestling while Brian checks a leaking toilet upstairs. The trio sing the praises of seeing movies on the big screen and casting comedians in dramas, free ad time is inadvertantly given to Carmax for which they should truly pay the Bald Talkers. And Matt wins numerous Corvettes and Camry's after a blistering session of Bald/Not Bald: Historical Figures.

Hilarious actor and improvisor, Dave Theune, could easliy take over hosting Bald Talk as he proved by turning the tables on Brian and Charlie throughout this episode. It must be his midwestern charm, and the trio discuss the mysterious power of midwestern politeness compared to southern gentility. Charlie is educated about the staggering low points of divorce as Brian and Dave share about their respective divorce journeys. Comedy Sports verses long form improv, the profound disgustingness of 20 something males and so much more is discussed but the biggest lesson learned from ep 60... never buy a used mattress. Never.
