  • What do standup comedy, golf, and skateboarding have in common beside high degrees of difficulty and opportunities to humiliate yourself in public? Well, they have veteran standup comedian Chris Fairbanks, who walks us through the experiences of all three ventures. Chris, one of the hosts of the podcast Do You Need a Ride?!, joins us from his hometown of Missoula, Montana where he first learned to skateboard and where he golfed (golved?) with his father just the other day. Drift off to sleep hearing about these leisure activities without the rigor of actually participating in them.

    Listen to Do You Need a Ride?! on the podcatcher of your choice.

  • You may have seen Rachel Feinstein perform her comedy on late night shows, on YouTube, and on Netflix for her latest special, Rachel Feinstein: Big Guy. If you’re a firefighter in Queens, you may have seen her in her own home while you were stopping by to attempt some home repair at the behest of her husband, also a member of the FDNY. She walks us through her life as the spouse of firefighter. Because that firefighting sounds pretty exciting and because Rachel has a lot of energy, we periodically slow things down by reading from the New York City fire code.

    Watch Rachel's latest stand-up comedy special, Rachel Feinstein: Big Guy, on Netflix.

  • You may know the very funny and talented actor Nate Corddry from one million television programs and movies he's appeared in over the years, including Ghostbusters, Mom, The Daily Show, and Yogi Bear. You may not know him as a high-level player of a style of baseball played with dice, pencils, and pads of paper, yet that is exactly what he has been for many years. Listen to Nate tell you all about how to play this soothingly complicated version of America's pastime and soon you will be sleeping as soundly as Nate's five-month-old twins who somehow remained peaceful for the duration of the interview.

    Follow Nate on Twitter @imnatecorddry. DM him there if you are in the greater Los Angeles area and you want to play Strat-O-Matic with him at a local bar.

  • Yes, toys are delightful and fun and even exciting. But for our purposes, that might all get a little TOO exciting. We’re here to put you to sleep after all. That’s why Emily, co-host of Maximum Fun’s newish Free With Ads podcast, will go into detail on exactly how to clean the various action figures in her rather sizable collection. A lot of the toys are Power Rangers and she even managed to not lose their tiny plastic weapons. Playing? Yes. Fun. Not sleep inducing. Cleaning? Well, get ready to saw some logs.

    Listen to Free With Ads wherever fine pods are cast.

  • The path from Silicon Valley computer programmer to rising star in standup comedy is not one that’s well traveled. Nor is the opposite path for that matter, where one leaves behind a world of headlining clubs and making specials to write code in a cubicle somewhere. But Richard Sarvate, former programmer and current standup, is a trailblazer. He fills us in on his former life, including why “spaghetti code” became such a problem, and also his near death experience in Puerto Rico that led to his career change. That last bit is a little exciting but don’t worry, it’s a happy ending and you’ll fall asleep.

    Listen to Richard Sarvate's latest stand-up comedy album, They're Gonna Know, on the streaming service of your choice. For more about Richard Sarvate, tour dates, and his other comedy albums, visit his website, www.RSarvate.com.

  • New York's Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge is 13,700 feet long. Comedian, Rifftrax star, and MST3K alum Bill Corbett is at most six feet long, maybe even a little less. Still, Bill has a lot more to say about the bridge than the bridge can say about him because bridges can't talk. Bill's funnier too, by a lot, whereas the bridge has its own strengths like 13 lanes of traffic to Bill's none. Bill, a native New Yorker, fills us in at great length about New York's second most famous bridge, the Andrew Ridgely of bridges, really, the Andrew Bridgely so to speak in a long and sleepiness-inducing conversation that also veers into discussion of the Texas rock boogie band ZZ Top, who may have crossed over the bridge at some point, we just can't really tell. Bill and the bridge both debuted in the 1960s, a fact that doesn't come up.

    Go to Rifftrax.com for Bill's hilarious film commentaries with fellow Mystery Science Theater 3000 friends.

  • When Julia Duffy is not filming something to entertain and delight you, chances are she’s reading a book. It’s generally non-fiction, often historical, and in one notable recent case, it was all about a tiger. Don’t worry, there isn’t enough action in her detailed descriptions of these books to keep you awake at night. It’s more like Julia, who starred as Stephanie on Newhart and as Mary Jones Davidsoul on Palm Royale, is doing your bedtime reading for you, so you can just shut your eyes and drift away for the evening. Julia even matches John Moe’s mellow dulcet tones to get you extra tuckered out.

    The book Julia discusses is The Tiger: A True Story of Vengeance and Survival by John Vaillant.

  • Yes, that headline can be confusing. Read it slowly. We’ll wait. Lindy West is an acclaimed author, podcaster, and all-around funny person. Her best-selling book, Shrill, was adapted into a series for hulu starring Aidy Bryant. Lindy finds it relaxing to surf through YouTube videos of expert gamers performing “speedruns” through popular games, especially games that Lindy herself played as a young person, like the King’s Quest series. Maybe you can get to sleep by listening her describe those games, so you’re even more safely removed from actual excitement.

    Learn more about Lindy West, her podcast, Text Me Back!, and her books by visiting her website, www.LindyWest.net. Watch the King's Quest speedrun videos Lindy talks about by following OneShortEye on Youtube.

  • Honestly, we haven't had that many people on our show who have started entirely new religions. Most of the time, if someone wants to be religious, they simply follow one of the existing faiths that are out there in the world in great abundance already. But Marsha Warfield, who played Roz the bailiff on the classic sitcom Night Court and who appears in that show's newer reboot, has developed a religion that is all about empowering women. And there's no need to convert to the Church of She-sus since if you're a woman, you're already a high priestess. Congratulations. Let Marsha give you a religious experience as you drift off to sleep.

    Watch Marsha's return to Roz Russell in the reboot of Night Court now streaming on Peacock. For Martha's tour dates, standup album This Is Not Gross, This Is Important, and more information on Marsha Warfield, visit her website, www.MarshaWarfield.com. Subscribe to Marsha's Youtube channel @MarshaWarfieldComedian. Follow Marsha on Twitter and Instagram @MarshaWarfield.

  • The hilarious Rob Haze, a rapidly rising star in stand-up comedy, has loads of sneakers. Really a disproportionate amount of sneakers compared to the cubic footage of space he lives in. He doesn’t go into great detail on every single pair he owns in this interview, mind you, but he does provide enough information to lull you into a sleepy state with a smile on your face. Rob also describes how Michael Jordan’s NBA career tracked with the beginning and end of his parents’ marriage and why he was unable to Parent Trap them with Air Jordans.
