Bryan Cogman: Game of Tones

Fred Berman: Pumbaa, Yes In Front Of The Kids

Dave and Matt are joined by the Broadway legend Fred Berman. Fred is a dad, broadway actor, audiobook narrator, basement drummer, and podcaster. He is currently in his 14th year playing Timon on Broadway in Disney's The Lion King.  We did a deep dive into broadway, the best blackouts, The Lion King, Hamilton, and Dear Evan Hansen. We cover acting in general and most importantly, how to properly fart on stage.  You can find out more information about Fred here: https://www.fredberman.net/ [https://www.fredberman.net/] and follow him on Instagram @thefredberman [https://instagram.com/thefredberman]. Dave (@dshalansky) and Matt (@realmattbrand) are on Instagram. Thanks to Nice Guy Eddie (Dave, Robbie, and Chris) for the use of "That's Us" and to Nicholas Calhoun for the Whatever logo.

Corey Jackson: Coin and Bus Diva

Dave and Matt are joined by the world famous Corey Jackson. Corey is a dad, non-profit fundraising expert, and the person behind the curtain of all of the best pranks Matt has ever been part of. He and Matt have known each other since grade school, were college roommates, and were basically common-law married until they both actually got married.  We had a great fun talking with Corey about college shenanigans, his background working for non-profit organizations, and how to successfully work with your wife. Someone, AGAIN, we got another random pop-in from a totally uninvited guest.  You can find out more information about the company Corey works at, with his wife, here: https://www.sarahjconsulting.com/ [https://www.sarahjconsulting.com/] Dave (@dshalansky) and Matt (@realmattbrand) are on Instagram. Thanks to Nice Guy Eddie (Dave, Robbie, and Chris) for the use of "That's Us" and to Nicholas Calhoun for the Whatever logo.

JP Sarro: Snap Into A Slim Jim

Dave and Matt are joined by JP Sarro. JP is a dad, actor, and podcaster. If you were around in the 80s, you're going to want to tune in to hear us round-robin our top mall stores from that decade. If you had Orange Julius, Strawberries, or Lechmere on your bingo card, you'd win. If you had CVS, you'd be Dave. We had a really fun time chatting with JP about nostalgia, acting, and his wrestling podcast (with average runtimes of 5-7 hours per episode) called Lapsed Fan.  JP's website, in all its glory, including fun facts can be found here: https://jpsarro.com/ [https://jpsarro.com/] Dave (@dshalansky) and Matt (@realmattbrand) are on Instagram. Thanks to Nice Guy Eddie (Dave, Robbie, and Chris) for the use of "That's Us" and to Nicholas Calhoun for the Whatever logo.

Bryan Cogman: Game of Tones

Dave and Matt are joined by Bryan Cogman. Bryan is a dad, producer, and writer. We're pretty sure you've never heard of one of the shows he's written for and produced on but it was a fairly unknown little production called "Game of Thrones"...or something like that. Bryan, Dave, and Matt discussed the infamous "Starbucks Cup" situation from GoT (#spoiler - not a Starbucks Cup), how he got the gig to begin with, working around the world and balancing the most important job as part of his family. Bryan can be found on Instagram (@cogman_bryan). Dave (@dshalansky) and Matt (@realmattbrand) are on Instagram. Thanks to Nice Guy Eddie (Dave, Robbie, and Chris) for the use of "That's Us" and to Nicholas Calhoun for the Whatever logo.

Nicholas Calhoun: Facial Hair Challenged

Dave and Matt are joined, finally, by Nicholas Calhoun. Nick is a girl dad, actor, writer, and entrepreneur. Nick is also the person who designed the Whatever (and DadPod before it) logo. We had a great conversation about acting, confidence, parenting, goals for the new year (or not having goals), comedy sensitivity, and more.

Thanks to Nice Guy Eddie (Dave, Robbie, and Chris) for the use of "That's Us" and to Nicholas Calhoun, yes the same person, for the Whatever logo.
