A new episode of our podcast is up and Zach shares this story about his Tottenham fandom!

We're joined this week by Kevin McCaffrey, a fantastic comedian you may have seen on Letterman, TruTV, or in one of his many viral videos online. He talks to us about his obsession with the Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. We also discuss sports video games, late-night talk shows, and the FBI.

Jump in! The water's fine!

My New Thing is a comedy podcast featuring interviews with the funniest people on the planet discussing their latest obsessions! We're talking hobbies, sports, video games, and obscure films you can only find on VHS. It's a podcast where comedians talk about anything but how they got started in the biz! What a relief.

LIST: Non-Woke Musicals

I don’t post thirst traps on social media. I do, however, post the occasional photo of an elaborate meal I cooked. While this might not seem as sexy as showing off my abs (existent but hidden by years of eating pretzel chips), the food photos do point to some modicum of stability, focus, a need for novelty and pleasure, and of course, a commitment to the domestic life. If I’m in my kitchen cooking dinner for my wife, I’m not out boozing with strangers. I’m at home, transfixed by the Hexclad wok we got for Christmas, a pan so nonstick I nearly sling food on myself every time I stir something in it, making me rethink centripetal force experiments from Physics class and all the summers as a kid I felt my body go around the curve of a water slide at the Rocky River public pool and swore I was about to be flung over the edge and onto the concrete below.

My intense fascination with a brand recommended by attractive celebrity chefs might also add to the fantasy that my culinary endeavors are sexy. A man knowing what equipment works best in the kitchen is a replacement for a previous generation’s obsession: tinkering with cars. Imagine how similar it is to see a man wiping grease off his hands after fiddling with a dipstick versus wiping grease off his hands after tasting a sauce with his fingers. I think this image makes my case. All that to say: I cook a lot and like to show it off for the positive feedback I receive. The Instagram hearts, the drooling emojis, the digital applause all do more for my pleasure centers than the taste of the food.
