The Faucet with Myq Kaplan

A Faucet first! Myq records this short snack of an episode right after recording a real doozy (a good doozy!) of a long meal of an episode!

He chats about comedians following other comedians in different directions, discovers and discusses some of his catchphrases (thanks to his delightful girlfriend who caught the phrases), says the word "duty" more than he usually does, and shares his limited knowledge of jazz. (It's all about the jazz facts you DON'T know!)

Enjoy as desired and possible! Thanks for reading about listening and then listening or the other way or whatever you do. Good work!

A Tale of Two Daniels

Myq sings the "Is this the right song to be singing" song, discusses beloved friends Daniel Lobell & Dan Hirshon, & gets into conversation pieces, descriptions, & prescriptions.

He recommends those Dans & one more, Dan Ariely! Also, Baba Brinkman, hydration & food-ration, Moby Dick, Zach Sherwin, & Joe Karg's illustrations!
