Smart, hilarious, silly, and stupid lol. I’ve been listening since the start like a million years ago - love the hosts
Came here for Jenny Slate’s episode and was so taken aback by the grossness of the host. I was nearly halfway into the episode and all it entailed was Jenny being forced to be a party to this gross man’s lowbrow, self-absorbed “comedy?”…I guess? I couldn’t even grasp what the gist of this show was. Is there a structure? Are we supposed to know this man? He wasn’t even interviewing her. So bizarre.

Two longtime comedians pull back the curtain on show business with irreverent humor, insider anecdotes, and high-profile guest conversations. Episodes pair meta-talk about branding, studio dynamics, and cross-promotion with playful riffs, spontaneous banter, and candid career stories from actors, writers, and creators. The show stands out for its chaotic chemistry, willingness to skew traditional interview formats, and a knack for turning industry chatter into entertaining bits that feel like backstage access for aspiring performers and media professionals.
