  Jamel Johnson is Instant Hilariousness in a Tank Top

  Sep 22, 20261 hourS1

  Just like frosted Lucky Charms are magicially delicious, Jamel Johnson is instantly hilarious. I’ve known him for a little while, but it wasn’t until the Toledano Street Festival in New Orleans that I became a rabid fan. All weekend the comedians were onstage and off, drinking and hanging out, but I made a point to see all of Jamel’s sets after seeing his first one. He’s basically that guy that rolls onstage and becomes the funniest guy in the room, with the vibe of a guy who just showed up to the party and everybody is psyched. Just a no-brainer to have on the show. If you like to laugh, and have a free hour for enjoyable listening, throw on a tank top and throw on this episode.

  Episode #61

  Michael Shepperd is My Neighbor in a Golden Girls Tank Top

  Sep 15, 20261h 2mS1

  When I moved into the house my wife and I bought in 2018, Michael was one of the first neighbors I met and I was immediately glad I did. Everybody should have a talented, kind, black, gay, kind, hilarious neighbor with a husband and two kids like I do. This episode was so amazing and special because I learned so much about a guy who lives just down the block from me. For example, I knew he played Audrey 2 from Little Shop of Horrors, but didn’t know he did it on Broadway (!!). I also didn’t know how he and his husband Hutch met(a story both beautiful and absolutely insane). Throw on your favorite Golden Girls tank top and take a listen! Hosted on Acast.

  Shapel Lacey Can Do a Backflip in a Tank Top

  Sep 8, 202647 minS1

  I’ve had a lot of comedians on Tank Top Talks, but I don’t think I’ve had any who did the DIY thing as well as Shapel. Sure, we all work at getting the word out about ourselves, but Shapel A) stays on the road, and B) his online stuff is so well curated and uniquely him. I love his backstory as a cheerleader (he can still f-ing backflip, which is insane to me), how he got over his “crazy days” as a partier, and how focused he is while still being hilarious. Note: Watch this ep on YouTube so you can see Shapel shoot looks at Max when he says something funny. Dude loves an audience! Strap on a tank and throw on this ep. So fun.  Hosted on Acast.

  Tyler Wells Runs Restaurants in Los Angeles in a Tank Top (Kind of)

  Sep 1, 202646 minS1

  If you eat out in LA and you like tasty food and good vibes, you’ve probably gone to All Time in Los Feliz or Betsy’s in Altadena. A co-founder of the first and the owner of the second, Tyler first came on the scene with Handsome Coffee, a company he later sold to make his first restaurant. During renovations on my house years ago, I used to walk over to All Time covered in drywall dust and treat myself to a coffee. After a week or two, Tyler told the staff to stop charging me for them. Since then we’ve been buds and I’ve been trying to get him on Tank Top Talks forever. If you’re into restaurants, starting a business, or just about treating people on all sides the right way, this is the episode for you.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  Will Sasso is the Funniest Man in a Will Sasso Tank Top

  Aug 25, 20261h 12mS1

  Everybody loves Will Sasso, including me. First, as a massive fan (like everybody), and second, as a friend. He mentored me through my Mad TV days (what days there were), and I’ve had the honor of auditioning against him many, many times (I’ve yet to win, not surprising). Anyway, he’s a new dad and a great guy and Kenny Rogers’ Jackass is the funniest sketch of all time.
