Join us for brunch as we close one chapter and open up another! In this episode, we interview one of our elusive producers, Danny D. Aside from helping out with the podcast, he's also an author and an avid edamame/hot pocket connoisseur. We dive into his role-playing past (not nearly as dirty as it sounds) and talk the time he accidentally created a murder scene at a vet's office.

You'll want to double up on mimosas for this one!

With this episode, we're also saying goodbye to Shotgun Brunch 1.0 and bringing in the next generation. Our next episodes will be a permanent threesome of adulting. Join us, along with Danny, as we explore the real meaning of what being an "adult" really is in the upcoming chapter of Shotgun Brunch!!

Join us this week as we sit down with Stefani Robinson, writer on the new hit TV show ATLANTA on FX, and MAN SEEKING WOMAN on FXX. We talk all about her journey and how she made it into Donald Glover's unconventional writer's room. This may or may not have involved washing an elderly woman's foot at Lush on the first day of the job (spoiler alert: it did). We also find out how our very own Sarah almost became a guest star in a random couple's relationship.

Grab your mimosas because you aren't going to want to miss this one!

Make sure to catch ATLANTA on FX and watch the third season of MAN SEEKING WOMAN when it premieres on Wednesday, January 4th on FXX!

Join us for a brunch with the awesome Lucé Tomlin-Brenner! She's a hilarious stand-up comedian and a passionate feminist who manages to intertwine the both in a genuinely smart and funny way. We talk about her comedy style along with her roots working with the Hillary Clinton campaign back in 2008 and how her move to DC helped shape her comedy. We also find out why letting a six foot python roam loose in your apartment isn't such a great idea and we figure out what Sarah prefers more: upstairs dog, downstairs man or vice versa?

Needless to say, you aren't going to want to miss this one.

Catch Lucé with her improv team, Parker Posey, on the fourth Wednesday of every month when they host Parker Posey Likes to Party at the UCB Inner Sanctum on Sunset. She also hosts a show with her other team, Garbáge, on the first Saturday of every month called Inside the Improvisers Studio.

Have brunch with us and the very funny/philosophical, Nick! He's a hilarious stand-up comedian who's been seen on Last Comic Standing and now writes for The Inspectors on CBS, not to mention he also won first place in LA's Comedy Festival! Needless to say, we had a ton of laughs while talking about whether our lives are just one big video game, how to deal with surprises in the bedroom, and we finally figure out what a rainbow party actually is. There's also a bit of naked magic involved, and no, the wands aren't what you think they are.

Make sure to follow Nick on Twitter @nickytony. If you're in the LA area, be sure to catch a Blind Barber Comedy Show on the last Monday of every month!

Join us for our afternoon brunch sesh with comedian and fellow podcaster, Danny Lobell! In this episode we talk to Danny all about how he came up onto the comedy scene almost by accident. Spoiler alert: provocative lighters were involved. We also learn about Danny's love for live fish, along with his experience swimming with sharks. Oh, and we can't forget about our time talking about constipated giant sea turtles and how exactly Danny helped move them along. Now a days, you can catch Danny at his monthly show at The Improv called Bookshelf, where a comedian picks a random book off of a shelf and has to relate a page of that book to their life. Also, be sure to check out his two podcasts; Modern Day Philosophers and The Mostly Bull Market. You're going to want to subscribe to both!

Ringing in the first episode of the new year and just in time for Valentine's Day is Eddie Meneses, a jack-of-all-trades. Eddie can be selling you a house in the morning, acting out wild characters in the afternoon, and then capping the night off by playing in an orchestra with Andrea Bocelli. We had a blast talking to Eddie about his time spent in forests and his terrible experiences with lasagna. We also got some serious life-advice with our Ask Eddie segment.
