Host Brian Scott McFadden is joined by comedian and wordplay wizard Myq Kaplan (Comedy Central, Netflix, Amazon, Dry Bar) for a fast, funny, and thoughtful conversation about the craft of comedy.

They dive into Myq’s obsession with language, the balance between writing and performance, and why sometimes the journey of a joke matters more than the punchline. Along the way, you’ll hear riffs about:

Hamlet’s “Tooth B or Not Tooth B”

Couples that share everything… including squids and monks

Steakhouse hecklers and comedy tropes

Meditation, noticing, and the creative process

A mix of philosophy, absurdity, and punchlines, this episode captures what makes Myq’s comedy unique—and why he’s one of the most inventive comics working today.
