Nick and Dave Hill go way back. They’ve appeared on multiple podcasts together, performed comedy internationally together, and even eaten at an Italian restaurant together. This chemistry makes for a conversation that will blow your socks clean off. Dave is a musician (Valley Lodge!), podcaster (The Dave Hill Podcasting Incident!), comedian (“Let Me Turn You On”!) and author (Dave Hill Doesn’t Live Here Anymore!) and that’s not even fathoming the depths of who he is. Nick and Dave talk Trump, Canada and a while lot of other mess. Special thanks to Andrew Lloyd for the great sound mix.

Nick discusses how groups have helped a lot with his feelings of community, how great it is to know people who aren't comedians, Ilhan Omar and a different origin story for Planet Of The Apes.

Nick Nemeroff (Comedy Central's Clusterfest, Conan O' Brien) by Nick Flanagan

Nick discusses the recent passing of comedian Steven Brody Stevens – a hilarious and singular comedian who struggled with mental health difficulties and channelled that and natural talent into an incredibly original comedy style. He’ll be missed. Also discussed are ADHD, the difficulty of getting out of bed and Dutch historian Rutger Bregman and his recent appearances at Davos and on Tucker Carlson’s Fox News show.

Nick watched all of the new Netflix series Russian Doll starring Natasha Lyonne and it spiralled him into an obsession with criticism and the lack of thereof in this godforsaken age. Support John B.
