Zach Sang Show

Nessa Barrett was just here five months ago to talk about her EP 'Jesus Loves a PrimaDonna' — and now she’s already back with her third album, 'Tough Love.' She talks about how that EP informed the new record, becoming Bunny — and the various characters on the record as facets of her — imagining her exes watching from the audience, making “Fetish” her BPD hot-girl anthem, the Fleetwood Mac and Eagles influence on “Coming Home Again,” and the stories behind “Candy,” “Dracula,” “Glamorous” and “God Gave Me Expensive Taste.”

Nessa also opens up about sex, intimacy and why this is the first time she’s written about those experiences, plus why she isn’t looking for love right now. And then we get into her into her dark-romance obsession — specifically the ‘Edge of Darkness’ trilogy, the five books she’s apparently written, whether she’ll ever publish under an alias, her new-ish tramp stamp, moonwater — and Nessa having absolutely no idea what a Sidekick is.

Things get a little witchy — and a lot chaotic — when the ‘Coven Academy’ stars Malina Pauli Weissman, Jordan Leftwich, Ora Duplass, and Louis Thresher hit the couch. The new supernatural series follows three teenage witches at an elite magic school in New Orleans, where they’re learning to control their powers while dealing with friendship, grief, dangerous secrets and, naturally, some very complicated crushes. Malina plays Briar, Jordan plays mind-reading Sasha, Ora plays time-bending Tegan, and Louis? Well he's struggling as the newly turned vampire Ollie. Also at the center of the story is Malachi Barton as warlock Jake — Ollie’s competition in a love triangle with Briar.

We talk about the very real chemistry that emerged during chemistry reads (even via Zoom), first on-screen kisses, who the cast ship in the Briar/Jake/Ollie love triangle, and finding pieces of themselves in their characters. Plus: anxiety and OCD, grief, the show’s take on witches and vampires (and vampires queer energy overall), their instant sisterhood, magical powers they’d absolutely abuse IRL, ‘Wednesday,’ ‘Cruella’ and ‘Saltburn’ homework, music, their ’90s-icon co-star Tiffani Thiessen — and trying to figure out exactly who is the guncle, younger cousin, wine aunt and older sister of this very loud found family.

Chelsea Cutler is back on the pod! She’s been here many times over the years, but this time there’s a lot to catch up on — a new city, a new relationship, a new era and her fourth album, ‘IS THIS THE END?’

Chelsea opens up about making the record in real time during a particularly vulnerable and challenging season of her life, and why she’s not interested in wrapping everything up with neat answers or resolution. We get into the chaos of being in your 20s, turning 30 and feeling like she’s living through her own coming-of-age movie, moving to LA, heartbreak, dating multiple people, Hinge, exploring her sexuality, and what she’s actually attracted to in a partner.

She also talks about her OCD diagnosis and therapy, coming off antidepressants, learning to sit in stillness, the internet discourse around “BAD,” her Chatty Cathy tendencies, “THE CAR RIDE HOME,” her sing-lisp, the possibility of another Jeremy Zucker collab — and, naturally, bangs, Botox and lasers.

Hasan Minhaj joins us to talk about his new Netflix movie 'Best of the Best,' a college comedy set in the fiercely competitive world of Bollywood fusion dance. He gets into why this was basically Greek life for the South Asian diaspora, writing the movie during lockdown with Prashanth Venkataramanujam and pulling from some painfully true stories from his own life — including bidding hundreds of dollars he didn’t have on his future wife Beena at a UC Davis date auction. We also talk the star power of Maitreyi Ramakrishnan, the “Mindy Kaling effect,” A.R. Rahman, the Koh-i-Noor diamond, and why it’s taken so long to make a film like this one.

Hasan also talks about being more present, making time away from his kids count and why he wants his work to entertain while still saying something. We get into finding love, laughter, and joy in a divided world, appreciation versus appropriation, his 2017 White House Correspondents’ Dinner and why “action is the antidote to anxiety.” Plus: does hard work actually equal success? Zillow stalking, his fedora phase, Zach’s eight dogs, and Hasan’s problem with dog people.

The 53-year-old Ital-Chicago native has spent decades turning the everyday absurdities of family, relationships, and human behavior into observational comedy, going from waiting tables for years to honing his craft at The Comedy Store (which he still does) to becoming one of the biggest touring comedians in the country. He joins us to break down his growing SiriusXM podcast universe, including his latest monthly interview series “We Got Company,” while reflecting on joke building, and whether he’s slowly turning into his dad.

He also talks about Robert De Niro wanting to spend time with his father while making ‘About My Father,’ getting notes from his dad and how seriously he takes raising grounded kids.

We also give Sebastian a crash course in current slang and looksmaxxing, which leads us into his own physical glow-up, skincare and very specific shower routine. Plus: aging jokes, brushing your teeth in the shower, Zach and Dan’s dental habits, Dan’s inability to hold eye contact, carving pumpkins with Justin Bieber, Robby Hoffman, Dane Cook, his need to share his thoughts with complete strangers and Marcello Hernandez impersonating Sebastian in an ‘SNL’ sketch with Harry Styles.
