For twenty years, Nathan, Alan, and Colton Dunn have been gaming buddies. So much so that Nathan kept a sticky note handy during this recording so he wouldn't slip and call Colton by his gamer tag.
Even after two decades of friendship, there's appar... more
Being interesting isn't enough – it's better to be interested, especially in things like overheard phone conversations and restaurant ordering systems. Nathan and Alan were once waiters who had to memorize the same brutal numeric code to input food o... more

Too bad people in Hollywood haven't gotten the memo that liberals are unpopular
Love this show! Love hearing Alan and Nathan together again! Nathan is wonderful, and Alan is hilarious! It's a shame that they both still associate with Adam "gamergate" Baldwin, a man who brought so much hate not only into the world, but into women's lives, as if they don't have enough to deal with. Thankfully, he's not part of this show, so I'll keep enjoying it 👍
Also, both hosts wash their legs, which is wonderful to hear.
I love it. I just love it. All of their stories are so interesting and relatable even to us nonactors. Everyone has fallen on their face at some time or worried about where the rent is coming from; so it's great to hear how life works the same for successful actors too. Also they're so funny. I nearly had a little bathroom emergency I was laughing so hard in some places. Gee peeps don't listen with a full bladder. It could be dangerous. So yeah...it's a great listen and I just love it. Keep up t... more
I have to say I enjoy every episode. My favorite was finding out the Nathan, Alan, and I all turn 55 this year. I hear you both tell similar stories to mine. Looking forward to some Patreon gifts in the mailbox. Hint. Wink. Nod. 🫶🏻

Two longtime friends-turned-hosts share candid, humorous conversations with a rotating set of guests from film, TV, improv, and art. Episodes blend personal journeys, behind-the-scenes anecdotes, and cultural pop touches, with frequent references to acting, directing, and collaborations across indie and mainstream projects. A standout: chemistry between the hosts is a defining feature, anchored by a loose, story-driven format that often shifts from guest-focused insights to playful banter and live-show energy. This makes it appealing for listeners who want authentic BTS storytelling, broad entertainment industry insights, and a relatable, long-running friendship anchored in pop culture nostalgia and contemporary creativity.
