Checkmate, listeners! We're back with another bonus episode!

Today on the show, Zach and Dan discuss the Netflix documentary Untold: Chess Mates. It's a window into the dark world of competitive chess, and wouldn't you know it... There are some real dorks in the mix! We talk about the cheating controversies, the constant online gaming, and our episode of this very show with Abe Gatling about Chess. It's a good one!

My New Thing is a comedy podcast featuring interviews with the funniest people on the planet discussing their latest obsessions! We're talking hobbies, sports, video games, and obscure films you can only find on VHS. It's a podcast where comedians talk about anything but how they got started in the biz! What a relief.

Hosted by comedians Dan Wilbur (The Onion, Sirius XM) and Zach Sims (Comedy Central)
