The Guest List with Patrick Hicks

Episode 30 - Sandwiches of History (Barry)

Today Patrick sits down with content creator Barry Enderwick to build the playlist of his life. Barry Enderwick is best known for his series Sandwiches of History where every day at lunch time he makes a sandwich and reviews it. He makes sandwiches from throughout history - from old 19th century recipe books to user submitted sandwiches - then tries to improve them and lets us know whether they’re worth making. It’s a simple concept that is highly addictive. And the concept has grown beyond his daily social [https://www.instagram.com/sandwichesofhistory/]media [https://www.tiktok.com/@sandwichesofhistory?lang=en]videos [https://www.youtube.com/c/sandwichesofhistory]to a live tour and his own cookbook [https://www.amazon.com/Sandwiches-History-Cookbook-Surprising-Between/dp/0760392102]. Barry and I talk about his time as a college radio DJ, the person who introduced him to his favorite band and whether or not he listens to music while he makes sandwiches.

Episode 27 - Morgan Jay

Today Patrick sits down with comedian Morgan Jay to build the playlist of his life. Morgan Jay is a massive social media star with clips of his live shows being seen by millions and millions of people. The viral videos are of him doing crowd work while using auto-tune on his mic, which has led to many calling him the auto tune comic. But he’s a lot more than that. He has jokes, he plays guitar, he writes songs, he’s a trained actor, he’s multilingual, and his shows sell out all over the world. We talk about the music his parents taught him when he was young, how he started finding success in comedy after over a decade of doing stand up, and how his musical comedy is able to uniquely appeal across cultures and languages.

Episode 26 - Nick White

Today Patrick sits down with comedian Nick White to build the playlist of his life. Nick White was studying for a master’s degree in architecture in his native Australia when he had the realization that he wanted to do comedy. He had started doing stand up and had done well in some stand up competitions, but he had already invested a lot of time and money into studying architecture. So he finished his masters and then went to work in the architecture world. But comedy kept calling to him. In addition to performing stand up live he also started making character based videos on Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/nickwhite49/?hl=en]and TikTok [https://www.tiktok.com/@missnickiewantie?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc]. Eventually he got the courage to follow his heart and he quit his job to do comedy full time. Now he has hundreds of thousands of followers on social media and sold out comedy shows from Sydney to London. He is also a huge music fan, so we talked about his musical obsessions, the song that reminds him of his first break up, and the song he doesn’t like that much so he listened to while having panic attacks.
