"Josh and Derek talk sound boards, writing books, new music, make box office bets, and casually and carefully dip a toe or two into our shared trauma from our shared workplace. Or maybe I'm just reading into this too deeply. It's a good episode."

Regularly streaming on twitch/youtube on Fridays 8pm PST/10pm CST - HotDadRadio is a collective of arguably attractive (mostly) non-fathers, on the internet. The name makes sense. Stop asking.

Danny Rathbun started as a friend of a friend of a friend...a call out for promo/interview fun turned into a wild interview with this New York based comedian. Derek and Josh from HotDadRadio dig into what made him the comic he is today - it def involves knives in a way you wouldn't expect.

ClaireAfterAll is motivating. Over the past 6 years I've had the distinct pleasure of playing D&D weekly with Claire and if I had to pick just one word, first it would take me all day, but I would eventually have to land on motivating. Professionally she's moving mountains to make art, personally...she does the same, but in such a real and honest way it's forever motivating.

She is Claire, after all.

Lily Maslia (@LilyMaslia) is literally heinous. No literally. This television tested celebrity expert is cool as hell. And that contains multitudes. Recently moved to NYC, Lily and I talk about which coast is better...whether they knew it or not....what brought us together, our hopes and dreams of stardom, and the importance of para-social relationships with celebrities. Everything else you'll have to wait for the follow up episode on her show 'Literally Heinous' streaming everywhere you'd find a podcast (but her video show on Spotify is a fav).

Hey everybody, and welcome to another episode of Noodlin’ with Josh - on this episode I get to noodle with fellow actor and transplant to the city, Shelby Shea. Spelled like the butter but no relation.

I’m going to start by pulling right from her IMDB bio because that’s not something I get to say very often - PLUS, she sounds fancy as fuuuuuck and I wanna be her publicist, but that’s a story for another time: .

Shelby Grace Shea is an American actress and writer. Born and raised in Florida, Shea holds two Bachelor's degrees from the University of Florida. She made her film debut in the musical comedy Pitch Perfect 3, and had a supporting role in Rebel Rebel. Her more prominent roles include features on S.W.A.T., Grey's Anatomy, Fatal Attraction, and more.

Shelby and I met on set and immeideatly got into trouble for pulling focus from the leads frequently but at least in a way where they liked us and kept us in the shot, not in the “we’re going to need to replace these two” sort of way. We’ve also bonded over Mcdonalys, Grimace and a lot more we don’t get into here, but that’s ok because we’re just going to need to have her back, so why hold back the inevitable any longer, tune in to this episode of Noodlin with Josh and Shelby, hit the theme!

On this episode of Noodlin' with Josh I get to chat with newly published author, producer, and fellow Los Angeleno, Jessica Hobbs. The path to your dreams is as long as you want it to be. While kicking ass as a Producer in Hollywood, Jessica realized her true passion was in writing and after stumbling into Short Stories came out on the other side with a new career and newly published book: The Witch: And Other Tales of the American Gothic - available NOW at Barnes and Noble, Amazon, or order a signed copy on her website at jessicahobbswrites.com

It's been 129 days since the last Dean's French Onion Dip issue.

On this episode of Noodlin' with Josh I got to chat with Jacqueline, Jacq for short, a badass who I met while streaming an episode of HotDadRadio on twitch. Jacq aka PaleGirlCantDraw can't actually draw, but she has an incredible recording voice and even wanted to be a Radio DJ (which I totally called by the way). We chat about a lot of things, but if I have to suggest two things it would be to stick around for the "No Shame Talent Show" and talk about our "New Year's Resolutions". By the way, if you have any feedback hit me up on Twitter at @JoshWeavr!

On this episode of Noodin' with Josh, we have a guest in studio...ASHLEY FEE! As we hit record we quickly realized that we had a third silent guest on the show, George Clooney. Or at least the tequila tasting fruit of his labors. Because for some reason, there's something about recording in person that makes taking 5 shots of Casamigos Tequila each both bearable and a requirement. Tune in and get lost in conversation with us!
