Tank Top Talks w/ Matt Braunger episodes:

April 28, 2026 Sam Sanders is Serving Sam Sanders in a Tank Top
I first discovered Sam Sanders in his interview with Chris Fleming and was knocked out by how much fun he was having. I thought to myself, “I want to have that much fun on MY podcast, let’s have him on,” I reached out, he responded, “Why not?”, and here we are. Sam hosts the Sam Sanders Show on KCRW and it is a delight. He’s funny, engaged, smart, and fun to listen to. It was great to have a real pro on to dig in, debate, and just have a blast with. Throw on a tank top and take a listen.

April 21, 2026 Sydney Morgan Kane is Wife Material in a Tank Top
Sydney Kane wrote a hit show based on something a guy said breaking up with her. Basically, he told her she wasn’t “Wife material” lol. While that would have wrecked most of us, Sydney took that football and ran with it, crafting a show that’s selling out wherever it plays (Next up: The Roxy on the Sunset Strip April 21). I didn’t know Sydney before this show, which is a first for Tank Top Talks, and now I’m a huge fan. This episode is for anybody who’s been rejected and got better for it. Throw on a Marlon-Brandon-Doing-Stanley-Kowalski-on-Broadway-worthy tank top and check it out now.

April 14, 2026 Tom Thakkar is a Hilarious Dad in a Tank Top
Tom Thakkar and I did the Toledano Street Festival in New Orleans a couple weeks ago and we juuuuust got over our hangovers. Jeez, it’s almost like they get worse when you’re older when you also have to care for a small child. A native of Indiana and a graduate of the Chicago comedy scene, Tom lived in NYC for years before coming to LA. Like me, he has a small child (well, mine isn’t so small anymore) and he still goes on the road. He also hasn’t worn a tank top since he gained the “baby weight.” We laughed a lot during this one, but also hit some points I didn’t expect. Enjoy these two dads recovering from being not-so-young anymore lol.

April 07, 2026 Beth Stelling is a Gold Medalist in the Women’s Stand-Up Comedy Olympics in a Tank Top
Beth Stelling is one of my favorite comedians, male, female, or otherwise. She seems stoned on indecision, feeling around, then hits you with a punchline you never saw coming. A fellow graduate of the Chicago school of comedy, Beth and I became fast friends a long time back. She’s also a big time TV writer now. I always told her she should start a men’s clothing line called “Sweet Beth,” so maybe that’s the next thing. If you are a comic starting out, or have any interest in stand-up, this is the episode for you.

March 31, 2026 Ian Karmel and Andrew Stephens are Wearing Tank Tops with Matt Braunger in New Orleans! Live!!!
Folks, here it is, your very first Tank Top Talks Live. We were lucky enough to record it at the incredible Toledano Street Comedy Festival in New Orleans. You know the hilarious Ian Karmel from All Fantasy Everything and stand-up, but you might not know Andrew Stephens, young founder of the amazing Sports Drink Comedy Club in Nola. In any event, this is the live podcast taping for people who don’t like live podcast tapings. Fair warning: Drinking was involved (but hey, it’s the Big Easy). Grab a daquiri and check it out!

March 24, 2026 Jackie Kashian has a Jokehole Full of Bees and is Wearing a Tank Top
Jackie Kashian is a nice lady and friend/comedy hurricane. On the one hand, she’s a fun person to be around who is endlessly thoughtful and kind. On the other, she is a decades-working comedy legend with more jokes per second than anybody. She and I both share the tendency to talk, well, sometimes too fast onstage. Hey! We’re excited! Jackie joined me on TTT to talk comedy, our dream outfits, and why being a dork is f*&king cool.

March 17, 2026 Lance Barber is the Dad on Young Sheldon and My Friend of 20+ Years in an Outsiders Tank Top
You might know Lance Barber as George Cooper Sr. on the hit show Young Sheldon, but I know him as my buddy onstage and off from my Chicago days. We wrote a show together that we performed at the Second City in, ah, ’98? JFC where has the time gone? Since then he’s gone on to numerous roles, one wife, and two kids. We almost never see each other, so this was a rare chance to catch up and make fun of the silly dudes we used to be. Listen in and join the fun.

March 10, 2026 Drew Hancock Wrote and Directed “Companion” but Forgot His Tank Top
Drew Hancock is an old friend who was an absolute maniac for his art and it paid off. After working as a writer/director on a ton of things, he realized he wasn’t getting where he wanted to be and he spent a year on one script. After that year, he got new representation, sold the script, and even got the green light to direct what became “Companion.” He’s a great guy, a fantastic writer, and (most famously) played “Asshole Oates” of Hall & Oates on the web series Yacht Rock. If you are a writer or an actor or want to be in the biz, check this episode out (It’s low key a masterclass).

March 03, 2026 Vinny Thomas is Having a Good Time, Doing Great, Hilarious, and Young. Like me
Vinny Thomas blew the f&%k up online. A stand-up comic and member of the Second City Improv Theater in Chicago, his real success was found in TikTok and Instagram posts. Perhaps you’ve seen his ‘Cheryl Hines goes to brunch’? His online performances, combined with his touring act, got him cast on the hit show “Platonic” with Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne. I reached out to have him on the show because I’ve spent too much time watching him online and wanted to meet him, and he did not disappoint. His bath house story alone is worth the episode. Enjoy!

February 24, 2026 Chris Fairbanks is Neil Diamond Having a Breakdown in a Tank Top
Chris Fairbanks is one of the funniest people alive. His off-kilter delivery and pitch-perfect timing/absurdity is unique and fantastic and I’ve been a fan (as well as a friend) for decades. You might know him from his numerous televised sets or his podcast “Do You Need a Ride?” with Karen Kilgariff, but you might not know how funny this guy truly is. Listen if you want to laugh for a solid hour, no kidding.
