Bald Talk

Actor and podcast host, Brian Baumgartner is best known as Kevin from The Office. He shares fascinating details about the world famous sitcom, and his experiences during and after the show's run. Brian also discusses how his distinctive head makes fame more difficult, his break up with Rogaine, and how like Steven Tobolowsky, Ben Nye hair gel might be behind his hair loss. Brian also can't wrap his head around a podcast about baldness and kindly attempts to give some producer's notes to our consistently bald eagle heavy segment, Bald News of the day.

Actor/TV Host Rob Riggle (SNL, The Daily Show, Holey Moley) had his head shaved as a US Marine, but he still identifies as haired. In an episode barely based in reality, Brian and Charlie reveal to Rob he has been slipped an ointment that will cause baldness, that his business manager is now Del "Magic Fingers" Dupree, and that Bald Talk's biggest audience are those 'tweens who love "chippin." All three remember the days at UCB NY, back when Brian had a wine vault and paid rent on an apartment so he could have a bathroom near the theater. And Rob says something about acting.

Another blast from the Pandemic Past! Actor/producer Matt Wheeler (Key and Peele, Punk'd) is still on his hair losing journey and hilariously shares about his insecurities and mishaps in covering up, including a cringeworthy Giuliani hair drip moment on a first date. Matt also talks about his blind faith dive into acting coming after from rural Kentucky, his insane past as a fundraiser for high schools selling chocolate, insecurities and the drunkest he and Charlie have ever been thanks to a German bartender at a Chinese themed bar.

From the Pandemic Vault, actor/writer Lamar Woods (New Girl, Single Parents) discovered during the lockdown that he's not as bald as he thought was. Lamar also gets real about experiencing his first panic attack during pandemic and explains the highs and lows of wax museum management. Charlie, Brian and Lamar all share their bald icons with one another, and it seems that Charlie has a thing for evil bald politicians.
