Today in the Hobby Hole, Zach and Dan talk to the hilarious Jared Logan (Comedy Central, Late Late Show with James Corden) about his love for tabletop role-playing games. We also talk about various nerdy subjects, how to host a game night, and if reality TV is destroying the world. It's a fun one!

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.

Pretty please with sugar on it... Give this bonus a listen!

Today in the Hobby Hole, Dan and Zach continue to discuss Dan's lifelong obsession with The Twilight Zone by tackling Season 3, episode 17 "One More Pallbearer." The episode focuses on Paul Radin, a rich man with his name emblazoned on a skyscraper, inviting three people who have wronged him in the past to stay in his bomb shelter. What happens next... may surprise you! We talk about wealth, alienation, the hydrogen bomb, and the previous episodes that led to this moment!

Tip your hat to the new Constitution, and take a bow for the new revolution... we're talking about 1971!

Today on the show, Zach and Dan talk to journalist and author John A. Jenkins about his new book, Summer of '71: Five Months That Changed America (Kensington Publishing, 2026). The book focuses on several events that led us to the moment we find ourselves in now, including Nixon's criminal activity, the Pentagon Papers, and the attacks on journalists who shared the truth. We also talk about debating JD Vance and learn about John's earlier work in true crime. It's a good one!

Watch the trailer for the book!
