Look out, nerds! It's an episode about reading!

Today in the Hobby Hole, we welcome the very funny Sam Wiles to talk about his love of bad books. Sam is an avid reader, stand-up comedian, and fellow JD Vance impersonator you may have seen in The New York Times, USA Today, or The Daily Beast. We talk about lowbrow books, Stephen King, what the ladies are reading these days, and where to go to find out how to act like a man. It's a fun one!

Check it out... (checking is a hockey term)... another episode is here!

Today in the Pastime Penalty Box, we talk to the great comedian and Trump impressionist J-L Cauvin, who you might know from Billions or his podcast Making Podcast Great Again. He joined us to share his newfound love of hockey, and also shared his thoughts on movies, anxiety, and how the Utah Jazz betrayed him. Also, Zach and Dan talk about Criterion and an old video game starring The King of Pop!

Turn on those dashcams, folks! We're back to talk about a brand new thing!

This week in the sequestered studio, we talk to comedian Ashley Brooke Roberts about her obsession with the reality TV show Big Brother. We also discuss her unusual hobby of collecting old bed sheets, strategies for winning TV game shows, and a major event that everyone on Big Brother missed because they were trapped on a production lot without cell phones. It's a hoot!

It's time to pay the price!

Today in the strange and wonderful world of the Hobby Forest, Zach and Dan talk to comedian, actress, and dear friend Alice Wetterlund (Resident Alien, Silicon Valley) about her new obsession with streaming video games on Twitch and TikTok. She's very good at it and fosters a whole community of people who definitely know what salad dressing is. Listen to find out what that means. We also talk about museums, the benefits of bullying in comedy, and great sci-fi.

Wow, wow, wow. It's time for the show.

Today, we're touching ears and touching hearts because our guest is the hilarious Shalewa Sharpe (from The Tonight Show, HBO, and Comedy Central). Shalewa shares her long-standing fascination with the indie rock singer/songwriter Andrew Bird, a musician she seemingly has followed since the first day he picked up an instrument! We also share some mortifying stories from childhood and chat about the South, NYC, and how to rebel against your parents.

Today, we welcome the very funny Ophira Eisenberg (from NPR and Comedy Central) into the Obsession OR to chat about medical conspiracies, parenting, and what kind of wine you can request in your rider. Sadly, we forgot to get her a bottle of the right stuff! But that didn't stop us from having a great time chatting about her various hobbies and obsessions.

My, oh, my. Here comes the next guy.

Today in the Hobby Lobby, comedian and vandal Nick Maritato joins us after spending years underground tagging subway cars (not really, but maybe? We're still not sure). Nick is an extremely funny comedian and podcaster who came to tell us about his obsession with graffiti and various New York City subcultures. We also discuss battle rap, bear safety, and what we all used to do when we were young and cool. It's a great time!

Holy heck, it's another ep! And what a great piece of ep it is.

Today in the Ol' Hobby Hole, we welcome Christian Finnegan, a comedian/writer/actor who you might know from Chappelle's Show or VH1's Best Week Ever. Christian tells Dan and Zach about his current project, a Substack for older folks who want to discover good new music called New Music For Olds. We also discuss movies, collaging, Dan's first job in the big city, and...of course... butts. It's one for the ages!

Wow, friends. It's the first day of the rest of your life. 

Today in the Hobby Sweat Lodge, Zach and Dan talk to the hilarious Kath Barbadoro about her obsession with weightlifting. We talk about gym etiquette, catcalling, and, of course, whether or not it's OK to wear shorts while performing stand-up comedy. It's a great time!

Oh, wow. Dan and Zach have a podcast now!

Wow, oh, wow! Our podcast about hobbies is suddenly setting out to solve every social ill!

Comedian Orli Matlow joins us at the UN of podcast studios... Zach's apartment! Orli is an extremely talented comedy writer who also happens to host an anti-war podcast called War Is Stupid: An Anti-War Podcast About War, so instead of our usual banter about which movie we like the most, we immediately jump into a talk about global conflicts, race, religion, and cheering on your country like it's a sports team. It's funny, we swear!
