Yeah Buddy! Podcast

When Buddy Rahming kicks off with his trademark “yeah buddy,” you know you’re in for stories that swing from flame alarms to film festivals. In this episode Buddy and co-host Brandon Larson mix buoyant camaraderie with gritty industry reporting: a ventilation fan that nearly ignited Buddy’s studio apartment, last-minute comedy dates, and the quiet triumph of finishing a deeply personal indie film about a fugitive finding refuge in a church.

But the episode doesn’t stop at behind-the-scenes anecdotes. The conversation spins outward into Hollywood’s larger drama: Tom Cruise’s AFI Lifetime nod after the divisive Digger, a terrifying knife scare on the set of Miami Vice ’85, and the human toll of mass corporate layoffs that leave artists scrambling to keep their SAG‑AFTRA memberships. Buddy and Brandon walk the line between outrage and resilience, translating headlines into lived experience and practical advice for creators trying to carve a sustainable path.

They also lean into the fun: a frank, spoiler-free breakdown of Clayface — a gruesome, actor-as-artifact body-horror set inside showbiz — and a playful Mount Rushmore game that crowns multi‑hyphenates, rappers‑turned‑actors, indie horror hits, and animated classics. Marketing ingenuity gets its moment too, from Johnny Depp’s Ebenezer Venmo stunt to the clever, strange ways films find their audiences in an era of streaming and social noise.

Equal parts party and think-piece, this episode moves fast and lands true: laughter over industry absurdities, sobering concern for colleagues facing layoffs, and a steady drumbeat of empowerment for creators. Whether you’re an actor, filmmaker, or an armchair fan, Buddy and Brandon invite you into a world where setbacks become material, friendship fuels hustle, and the next big break might arrive in the most unexpected place. Tune in for the chaos, stay for the clarity — and leave ready to build something of your own.
