In Ep. 99, I catch up with comedian Myq Kaplan about making his new special, Rini, and how collaborating with his partner shifted his process from “just get the laugh” to “get the truth and the laugh.” We trace that evolution from Edinburgh reps and Rini’s note-taking to their “blooming → pruning → harvest” workflow, plus how shared ideas (and producer credits) actually happen in a real relationship.

We also talk health and how that looks for him as a comedian in the Big Apple: Myq’s Manhattan walk-everywhere lifestyle, High Line laps, the Oura ring’s sleep traps, and practical tweaks like front-loading water and not letting wearable stats override how you actually feel.

He shares release details (Blonde Medicine’s YouTube, live premiere Nov 19, 8pm ET) and I note this was my first interview post-brain surgery—good to be back talking with a friend about jokes, truth, and recovery.
