Go get Adam's Special on Dry Bar Comedy.

Matt catches up late night with comedian and writer Adam Cozens (@AdamCozens27). Topics include having a baby in a pandemic, quarantine routine, the “gauntlet” at The Rack, wishing he never met @Chip Chantry, NY vs. LA beach proximity, how nothing beats the cheap Apple headphones, hype man Pitbull, missing the movies, and making the best of it through dumb conversations.

Jenna (@jennabrister) & Matt discuss pandemics, conspiracy theories, school field trips, national treasure, slow dancing with pets, hallmark world, the lighthouse operator, the 12th Man, & Comedy Ahoy. We figured out a lot of things are "weird".

Check out the movie Jenna wrote on AmazonPrime: Killer Twin;  Here's the dumb pre-#metoo video we talked about - Boob Grazing

My first attempt at a podcast from 2013, a few years before he passed away, I set up a Skype with my favorite person and inspirational childhood influence, the late great Sammy Dee. He was my grandfather, a musician, a mentor, an inspiration and one of the funniest (and most complicated) humans to have ever walked the earth. I love him and I miss him so much. I'm so glad I did this when I could.
