We talk about myths, conspiracies, and eating candy in a parking lot with our friends. It's a great hang!

Just...one more...turn! We're back again and can't stop talking about Civilization games!

Today in the Hobby Hole, Zach and Dan talk to comedian Dave Ross (Drunk History, The Late Late Show) about his obsession with comedy and the insane time-suck that is Sid Meier's Civilization VI. The discussion is nerdy, angry, and sad (the three things you need to be a comedian or to play a video game that requires 5-16 hours a day to finish).

We're keeping it 300 on this podcast! It's another bonus episode of My New Thing!

On today's show, Dan and Zach discuss the finale of HBO's docuseries Born To Bowl. It's been a long and arduous journey (3 weeks), and we talk about the friends we made along the way as well as what we learned (not much). It's a fun talk, and we recommend the show!

We'll be back Friday with another interview.

Dying is easy, it's comedy that's hard!

On today's episode, we invite actor/comedian/writer Subhah Agarwal (HBO, Netflix, Comedy Central) to talk to us about falling in and out of love with stand-up comedy. It's a great discussion about success, heartbreak, and crowdwork reels. Unfortunately, none of us decided to quit and live a more fulfilling life in the end. But there's hope... we think! Enjoy the show!

We keep on rolling along! It's another bonus episode!

This week, Dan and Zach continue their deep dive into the world of professional bowling by watching the latest episode in the HBO docuseries Born To Bowl. We talk about two-handed bowling, Air Bud, and how it's possible for these bowlers to seem more divorced than actual divorced men.

Set 'em up and knock 'em down. Unlike famous bowlers like Daniel Plainview... we're never finished! It's a brand new bonus episode of the show.

This week, Dan and Zach talk about their new obsession with the HBO docuseries Born To Bowl. We start with the first three episodes and reveal the sad parallels between professional bowling and stand-up comedy. It's a great series, and we had a great time talking about it. Not many spoilers if you want to listen to us first but the bonus episodes are always best heard after you watch the show with us!

We're exercising our First Amendment rights once again by delivering another podcast episode to you! They'll never cancel us!!

On today's bonus episode, Zach talks to Dan about his longtime obsession with late-night variety hosts The Smothers Brothers, and their success and failures while fighting CBS. They led a countercultural TV revolution that was becoming a cash cow for the network, only to be fired in 1969. It's a story that's sadly topical because of what's currently happening to Colbert and Kimmel. We talk about the craft, the rise of the comedy album, the stellar writers' room, and more!

Watch more of The Smothers Brothers here.
