It is rare that I am lost for words when describing a guest of the show, but this is one of those times.  Our guest today is 24 year old, Colorado native, & stand-up comedian — Nate Malouf!  

You can follow him — @suffering.malouf — on Instagram

Nate provides Top Shelf Studios with perhaps the coolest wing rating to date by changing the scale altogether.  And on top of that, he’s too generous, this guy!  He also brought some truly top shelf studio gifts: loose pills & artwork he made to bless our studio’s feng shui with ‘The Big Shoe’ vibes.  

From frustrations with bureaucracy and the new ever-present need to “sign-up” for nearly every basic aspect of our lives, to Nate’s life and his journey in joke writing & stand-up, we hit as many side quests as possible.  Thankfully, he dispels common worm myths, while affirming that if there is someone out there in the world who knows more about worms than Nate Malouf, I do not need to meet them.  

Nate tells me how he couldn’t afford braces as a kid, so he chewed staples, hoping they got in the grooves.  He hates concrete, but he dreams of living in a world with walkable cities, where we can all stroll down the block to our favorite local non-binary-owned coffee shop. 

 

I beg you not to miss this one.  Skip at your own peril.
