Derek Sheen

I first met Derek probably close to 15 years ago performing stand-up in Salt Lake City, and I was thrilled to catch up with him and to have him join me on the show to talk about is new special "Unrelatable"that releases this Friday, August 21st! 

We talked about Derek's early introduction to comedy, his mom's encouragement to do standup and perform comedy, using comedy to deflect bullies and trauma bond, how to make audiences laugh with darker subject matter, our comics and action figure collections, opening for some of his idols like Brian Posehn and Patton Oswalt, how "Unrelatable" came together, and so much more!

A huge Thank You to Derek Sheen for taking the time to join me on the podcast. It was so great to chat with him and see what he's been up to over the years. I had so much fun with his special and I can't wait for you guys to see it as well. Check out "Unrelatable" this Friday on YouTube! Make sure to follow Derek on all of the links below!

Thanks, Derek!

"Nimrods" in theaters this weekend!

 As many of you know I am a huge fan of Green Day. So, when I was asked if I wanted an early look at their new film, "Nimrods", I couldn't say yes fast enough!

While I don't typically do movie reviews, or even consider myself a film critic, I wanted to take a minute to talk about how much I genuinely enjoyed "Nimrods". Check out the video below for my quick, spoiler free chat about the film. 

If you're a huge fan of Green Day like myself, and even if you're not, this is such a fun coming of age film that you're going to have a good time with it. "Nimrods" hits theaters this Friday, August 14th.

(Apologies on some audio issues. The perils of doing a live show)

On today's episode of the podcast, I am coming to you LIVE from San Diego Comic-Con for our annual show! 

Tim Drake, Rob Kutner, Kirk Kushin, Stefanie Leder, Hyunjin Jo

This year I sat down with recurring panelist, and 5X Emmy winning writer, Rob Kutner to set up a different take on the panel discussion. With so much changing in the job landscape within Hollywood, especially as writers, we created a discussion topic of "How to Navigate a Writing Career in Hollywood in 2026". Rob helped me coordinate the panelists, and we invited Kirk Kushin, Stefanie Leder, and Hyunjin Jo to join us on the panel. 

We talked about how everybody got their start writing in Hollywood, adjusting to new skill sets, taking the time to learn the craft, the art of the meeting set up, advice to new writers, and so much more. 

A huge Thank You to Rob, Kirk, Stefanie, and Hyunjin for taking the time to make the trek down to San Diego to join me on this show. It's crazy that I've been doing this for 11 years now, and there is no sign of stopping! Please make sure to follow them on all of the links below!

Thanks, Rob, Kirk, Stefanie, and Hyunjin!
