Could We Survive the Post-Apocalypse? | Jon Daly & Manu Toigo | SBUTV | #16

Today on Sam Brown University TV, we’re asking a dangerous question: Could we survive the post-apocalypse? We all like to believe we’d be great in an apocalyptic scenario. We personally like to think we’d be calm and resourceful. But honestly, we all have a hard time when the grocery store rearranges the aisles. Sam is joined by Jon Daly, comedian and Fallout cast member who’s technically already lived through the end of civilization (on camera) and Manu Toigo, a survival expert and Naked and Afraid veteran who has actually survived extreme wilderness conditions with nothing but skill and mindset. Together, they break down, what survival really takes, whether modern life has made us weaker, and how long Sam realistically lasts. Jon even recounts a big trauma from his past, and Sam laughs the entire time. This episode isn’t just about bunkers and canned beans. It’s about resilience, mindset, and what happens when comfort disappears. If everything collapsed tomorrow…would you adapt?

Do Documentaries Have to Be Boring? | Derek Waters & Amy Scott | SBUTV | #15

Today on Sam Brown University TV, we’re asking a question that should have an easy answer: Do documentaries have to be boring? Because let’s be honest; documentaries are either the most interesting thing you’ve ever seen… or something you turn off halfway through and never return to. Sam Brown is joined by Derek Waters, creator of Drunk History, and Amy Scott, acclaimed documentary filmmaker. Together, they break down why documentaries get a bad reputation, give a thousand Letterboxd recommendations for ones that don’t suck, and expound on what makes a good one. So get comfortable, as we do the opposite of Netflix and don’t make a you sit through two hours of slow drone footage to do it.

How do you go viral? | Josh Fadem & Luca Schaefer-Charlton | SBUTV | #12

Sam sits down with comedian and actor Josh Fadem and creator Luca Schaefer-Charlton to tackle one of the most mysterious forces on the planet: how do you actually go viral? They dig into why some videos randomly explode, why others vanish without a trace, and whether “the algorithm” is a real thing or just some mysterious god we blame when our posts flop. Along the way, they talk accidental fame, physical comedy, trend cycles, burnout, and what happens when you try just a little too hard online. Is going viral a skill? A science? A curse? Or just something that happens when you trip in the right place at the right time?  FOLLOW SBUTV ON SOCIAL YouTube – @sambrownuniversitytv Instagram – @sambrownuniversitytv TikTok – @sambrownuniversity X – @sambrownunitv SBUTV is produced by Cosmic Monkey FOLLOW COSMIC MONKEY ON SOCIAL Instagram – @cosmicmonkeyco www.cosmicmonkey.co Producers: Colin Goheen & Jeff Heimbuch Editor: Andrew Michel Theme Song: Jonah Ray
