Fake guests, secret emails, imported pig shaped gummy candy. This one has it all.

In their most blissfully chaotic episode yet, Dylan and Marin have (lovingly)conspired to surprise Matt with a special mystery guest for his birthday. Having fully prepared for animation legend Howy Parkins, Matt’s brain explodes when it’s revealed that even their production meetings were just a smoke screen.

Equally surprised and delighted is actual guest Scott Gairdner, comedy writer, director, creator of Moonbeam City, and host of the beloved theme park podcast Podcast the Ride.

Topics include: Big things in small spaces phobias, the mythology of City Walk, Casa Bonita, nostalgic snacks, and will Howy ever actually be a guest or was that all just a cunning ruse to keep Matt guessing?

We know Scott. But we barely know him.

This week Dylan, Matt, and Marin test the show's limits and the audience's patience by going guestless and digging deeper into one another's personalities.

Matt's not a morning person, Dylan's not a clothing person, but everyone loves Mel C.

Also: The gang grows suspicious of online personality tests as they play "Sponge or Spice?", fondly recall the days of the cassingle, Space Jam as a bedtime ritual, and a brief detour into some very dark SpongeBob Reddit threads that Dylan doesn't care to elaborate any further on.

The I Can Explain Guy is an inspiration to us all.

Dylan's got bangs, Matt sports a mustache, Marin has thoughts and everything is totally fine.

Having finally made the pilgrimage to Casa Bonita, Dylan reports back with cliff diver coasters and a lot of feelings while Matt recalls fond memories of childhood salads. Also on the agenda: the monoculture is dead, grandmas vs grannys, and what you watched as a kid says more about you than you think.

Vertical Drama Love Awards Best Actress in a Comedy and Vertical pioneer Ashley Michelle Grant swings by to discuss early comedy influences, collapsable champaign flute towers and Arizona weather patterns.

Also, the gang plays a slang game! ASL, TFW, rizz, and no cap, are just a few of the terms Dylan has absolutely never heard of. Ashley over performs, Matt loves Harry Styles.

Theres a million other things they cover but like a voice memo, its probably better if you stopped reading and just listened to the episode already.

We know Ashley. But we barely know her.

Sometimes the only thing harder than leaving home is going back. This week Dylan and Matt discuss the food they look forward to when they venture east, the TV shows that remind them of home, and diners. Is Denny's a diner? Why are LA diners different? These are the questions that matter.

Then, Spencer Watson, Actor, Writer, EMT, and scuba diving aspiring pilot joins the gang to play "Final Stunt Game." Based on Spencer's love of Mr. Cruise, he must identify whether described film stunts belong to Tom, someone else entirely, or were completely made up.

Before appearing on our show Spencer was just recently in Paul Greengrass's Academy Award nominated Apple TV+ film The Lost Bus along side Matthew McConaughey and America Ferrera. We imagine the experience on our floor was comparable.

Also covered: Spencer's brave decision to leave a complicated group chat, why COVID turned him into an EMT, the case for leaning into every passion you've ever had, and a cake almost as famous as the famous person who loves it.

We know Spencer. But we barely know him.

This Weeks Coffee: Mimic Coffee

Dylan and Matt are back, this time with a plant, some unique candles, and a round of morning cocktails nobody asked for but everyone appreciated.

Writer, standup comedian, and co-host of the I Keep Hearing podcast, Rob Michael Hugel joins the gang for a new game built around his encyclopedic knowledge of reality television, where Dylan describes posters for shows she's never seen before and everyone else tries to keep up.

Also covered: the Legend of Korra versus Avatar, misunderstood open mics, why the French horn will take you places, and the one Dodgers game that apparently introduced Dylan to half of Los Angeles.

We know Rob. But we barely know him.

Get in on the ground floor.. Our fearless hosts officially launch I Barely Know You from the barren floors of a dining room in Burbank, with one blind dog, two Hawaiian shirts, and no plan whatsoever.

Their first guest is Pat Cassels, College Humor veteran, Emmy winner, and a man with very specific feelings about condiments. Somehow the three of them are more connected than anyone realized, and that's before the conversation takes off into movie theater etiquette, the devastatingly sad series finale of the 90s sitcom Dinosaurs, and a frozen Gene Simmons at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.

Play along for the debut of the VHS Slipcase Game. Pat gets ambushed with a pillowcase full of tapes and has to identify films from cover descriptions alone. Monkey Trouble, Rocky Horror, and a Sylvester Stallone/Dolly Parton fever dream all make appearances.

We know Pat. But we barely know him.
