August 18, 2026 Jessica Boudreaux Rocks a Tank Top and an Electric Guitar, Equally
Jessica Boudreaux is probably best known for being the lead guitarist and singer of the seminal rock band Summer Cannibals, but she’s also a cancer survivor, producer, and old friend of mine to boot. Originally from Louisiana, Jessica founded SC in my hometown of Portland, Oregon, later moving to LA to do her own thing as a producer. She now produces music for herself and other musicians and she made time to come on my pod. This ep is a little more introspective than the others, but that made it great. Throw on your most artistic tank, and enjoy.

August 11, 2026 Laura Peek is Living Life Wisconsinbly
Here at Tank Top Talks, we’ve had some real big laughs, but I don’t think we’ve ever had one like the “Winconsinbly” one. Laura Peek is one of my favorite comics working today, a hell of a nice person, and a dear friend. There is a part of this podcast where Laura, myself, and podcast engineer Max all were legit crying from laughter. You should go see Laura but also, if you want a good laugh, listen to this episode. Tanks!

August 04, 2026 Fumi Abe Feels Racist in a Tank Top
You may know Fumi Abe from the Tonight Show, the Late Show, or as a writer on Seth McFarlane's Ted, but I know him for his incredible bravery. He showed up to record this week with no tank top in hand, and accepted the challenge of wearing my clearly-too-big Santa Cruz tank top for 58 minutes and 31 seconds. We covered a lot of ground – the strong connection between racism and tank tops, New York vs. Los Angeles, Kyle Rittenhouse, the financial realities of the Italian Renaissance period – honestly no stone was left unturned. Throw on your favorite sleeveless upper-garment and tune into this week's ep of Tank Top Talks!

July 28, 2026 Allan McLeod is on a Long Walk in a Tank Top
Walking About’s Allan McLeod joins me to FINALLY JUST SIT DOWN. His acclaimed podcast features him and a guest walking around an area and learning its history, while mine (not acclaimed) features two schlubs in tank tops, in chairs. Nice to give him a break. Oh, he’s also a legendarily funny sketch and improv comedian. Listen in and find out how he got the name “Molasses Boy.”

July 21, 2026 Grace Helbig Set a Place for Herself in the Public Eye & is Wearing a Tank Top
Grace Helbig is a hilarious online icon, full stop. She’s got millions of followers, untold hours of online content, and never (to my mind) came off like a person who NEEDS attention. When people started vlogging, I couldn’t find many that I liked, arguing that you couldn’t pump out interesting stuff that often. Grace proved me wrong. She’s always interesting and funny, whether it’s her long-running show The Daily Grace (RIP) or her podcast “This Might Get Weird.” I somehow forgot to talk about how she was at my wedding, but we covered everything else, I think. Give yourself some Grace (LOLLL) and listen in!

July 14, 2026 Jon Gabrus is the King of Tank Tops
Folks, I'll be honest...we've been working our way up to Gabrus for a while now. In addition to being comedy podcast royalty (Action Boyz, Doughboys, High and Mighty, Comedy Bang! Bang!) at this point, he's also basically the king of tank tops. As he says himself, he feels most comfortable without sleeves, and that made this chat a real delight. We cover a lot of ground – the Key West lifestyle, tropical vacation shenanigans, acting class horror stories, improv and stand-up culture finally coexisting peacefully, and everything in between. Roll up your sleeves and take a listen – this is a fun one.

July 07, 2026 Gareth Reynolds is Cocaine Personified in a Tank Top
Gareth may not have come with his own tank top in tow but he made sure to bring his sparkling wit and signature charm! You may know Gareth from his various podcasts - The Dollop makes me cry laughing - or from his hilarious stand-up act. It was a real treat to have him join us in the tank top treefort to discuss cocaine, vasectomies, and also cocaine. Plus, Gareth has the pleasure of explaining the Costco Guys to Matt in full detail! Strap on your skimpiest tank and tune in!

June 30, 2026 Rob Haze is Wearing a Jersey Tank Top but not Yellow Leather Shorts
Our 50th episode features the hilarious Rob Haze. Put simply, Rob cracks me up good. Extremely dry and insightful, he’s not what you’d call a high-energy entertainer, but that’s what makes him great. A lot of comics (like, say, me) have used big energy and being loud to cover up their lack of strong material. Not Rob. We got into whether shorts are ok to wear onstage, doing comedy at noon on a college campus, the genius of Morris Day, and why Mel Brooks should be the only old person allowed to be the President. Throw on a jersey tank and listen in!

June 23, 2026 Will Pepper is Recovering from a Family Cruise in a Tank Top
Will Pepper has a joke about visiting Vietnam and “feeling white” that made me immediately follow him online. His outlook and perspective are hilarious on stage, and he’s got a great family story as well. In fact, his dad is low-key famous from Will’s videos (check them out— his dad‘s laugh is infectious). My only requirement for a guest is that they be either funny or interesting and Will is both. Enjoy!

June 16, 2026 Patrick Walsh is a Writer/Cinephile/Costco Slut in a Tank Top
Hilarious on stage, Vine (RIP), and a writer (currently on “Ms. Pat” on BET), Patrick Walsh is one of those guys who is reliably funny AND prolific. Not a huge tank top guy (those are, admittedly, rare on the show (irony!), Patrick nonetheless joined with a banger of a tank. We talked writing for TV, comedy, movies, and he even shared some savage tea about a famous Brit he worked with. Want the hot goss? Throw on a tank and tune in!
