The Default Setting

We finally have a guest who gets us (and our innate ability to go off topic)! Co-host of 'Game Show Live', host of the Big Beer Show/Bedrunken Cleveland and comedian Steve Guy (@thesteveguy) stops by this week to discuss his default: being Relatable.

It would be challenging to find a topic we don't cover this week. Whether it's wrestling, rom-coms, La Croix, cliques, cats, friend zones, family, firearms, Fred Rogers, tradesmen or tire changing, Steve can talk about it at length. That's not even half the stuff we talk about this week. 

This episode is pretty much guaranteed to spend at least 5 minutes on a topic you're legitimately interested in. Don't miss it.

New comic Sam Auble jumps on the show this week to tell the tale of his default setting: cancer survivor.

Sam always kept his cool and an unbelievably positive attitude when you realize alllllll of the crazy hardships he faced as a kid with cancer including isolation, multiple surgeries, seizures and more.

We also dig into what makes him just like the rest of us, including sibling rivalries, not being the favorite kid and fears/phobias.

The studio is chocked full of GOOD VIBES this week when comedian and CEO of Golden Gains (@str8gv) Torey Golden swings by to discuss her default setting: zero waste.

We gush about hot girls, hoarding, hustling and hilarity ensues. TRUE BUT VERY UNBELIEVABLE FACT: no drugs or alcohol were used during the taping of this episode. Not for any specific reason. We just forgot to smoke a bowl before we taped and we weren't drinking this week for some reason.

Special guest Eric Cartman makes several appearances in this episode, so don't miss it!
