Wow, wow, wow. It's time for the show.

Today, we're touching ears and touching hearts because our guest is the hilarious Shalewa Sharpe (from The Tonight Show, HBO, and Comedy Central). Shalewa shares her long-standing fascination with the indie rock singer/songwriter Andrew Bird, a musician she seemingly has followed since the first day he picked up an instrument! We also share some mortifying stories from childhood and chat about the South, NYC, and how to rebel against your parents.

My New Thing is a comedy podcast featuring interviews with the funniest people on the planet discussing their latest obsessions! We're talking hobbies, sports, video games, and obscure films you can only find on VHS. It's a podcast where comedians talk about anything but how they got started in the biz! What a relief.

Hosted by comedians Dan Wilbur (The Onion, Sirius XM) and Zach Sims (Comedy Central)

Today, we welcome the very funny Ophira Eisenberg (from NPR and Comedy Central) into the Obsession OR to chat about medical conspiracies, parenting, and what kind of wine you can request in your rider. Sadly, we forgot to get her a bottle of the right stuff! But that didn't stop us from having a great time chatting about her various hobbies and obsessions.

My, oh, my. Here comes the next guy.

Today in the Hobby Lobby, comedian and vandal Nick Maritato joins us after spending years underground tagging subway cars (not really, but maybe? We're still not sure). Nick is an extremely funny comedian and podcaster who came to tell us about his obsession with graffiti and various New York City subcultures. We also discuss battle rap, bear safety, and what we all used to do when we were young and cool. It's a great time!

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!

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!

Oh, wow. Dan and Zach have a podcast now!

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!

This week, The Hob Slobs welcome the funny and brilliant Myq Kaplan into the ring to answer the tough questions about his long obsession with advice columns. We also talk about collecting things from baseball cards to tiny bottles from famous musicians, Buddhist kōans, and a piece of Dan Savage advice that stuck with Dan for the rest of his life.
