Wow, friends. It's the first day of the rest of your life. 

Today in the Hobby Sweat Lodge, Zach and Dan talk to the hilarious Kath Barbadoro about her obsession with weightlifting. We talk about gym etiquette, catcalling, and, of course, whether or not it's OK to wear shorts while performing stand-up comedy. It's a great time!

Wow, oh, wow! Our podcast about hobbies is suddenly setting out to solve every social ill!

Comedian Orli Matlow joins us at the UN of podcast studios... Zach's apartment! Orli is an extremely talented comedy writer who also happens to host an anti-war podcast called War Is Stupid: An Anti-War Podcast About War, so instead of our usual banter about which movie we like the most, we immediately jump into a talk about global conflicts, race, religion, and cheering on your country like it's a sports team. It's funny, we swear!

You kids wanna see something... weird? Well, here's another episode of the show!

Riding the Hobby Horse this week is our dear friend Gabe Pacheco, a comedian and culture vulture who wanted to chat with us about movies. Specifically, we talk about the importance of antiheroes, entertainment under fascist regimes, and a ton of William Friedkin films. It's a show you have to hear to believe!

Boy, oh, boy. Can you believe this? We're still alive and doing our comedy podcast. Rain or shine! (There was a thunderstorm while we recorded the intro today.).

He joins us to talk about his obsession with the Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. We also discuss sports video games, late-night talk shows, and the FBI.

Holy heck, it's another ep! And what a great piece of ep it is.

Today in the Ol' Hobby Hole, we welcome Christian Finnegan, a comedian/writer/actor who you might know from Chappelle's Show or VH1's Best Week Ever. Christian tells Dan and Zach about his current project, a Substack for older folks who want to discover good new music called New Music For Olds. We also discuss movies, collaging, Dan's first job in the big city, and...of course... butts. It's one for the ages!
