    Subhah Agarwal - Comedy
    Apr 10 2026
    Dying is easy, it's comedy that's hard! On today's episode, we invite actor/comedian/writer Subhah Agarwal (HBO, Netflix, Comedy Central) to talk to us about falling in and out of love with stand-up comedy. It's a great discussion about success, heartbreak, and crowdwork reels. Unfortunately, none of us decided to quit and live a more fulfilling life in the end. But there's hope... we think!

    BONUS - The Smothers Brothers
    Mar 25 2026
    We're exercising our First Amendment rights once again by delivering another podcast episode to you! They'll never cancel us!! On today's bonus episode, Zach talks to Dan about his longtime obsession with late-night variety hosts The Smothers Brothers, and their success and failures while fighting CBS. They led a countercultural TV revolution that was becoming a cash cow for the network, only to be fired in 1969. It's a story that's sadly topical because of what's currently happening to Colbert and Kimmel. We talk about the craft, the rise of the comedy album, the stellar writers' room, and more!
