Depresh Mode with John Moe - Welcome to Sleeping with Celebrities
Here are conversations with well-known people, designed to help you sleep
This is not a podcast episode. This is tactical audio. Life can be stressful and when that is the case it can be hard to silence your own racing thoughts enough to let you relax and doze off. So we wanted to help. We called up some comedians, writers, podcast hosts, people who do a lot of talking and communicating, and we asked them to have conversations with us about the most boring topics they could think of that they also know a lot about. You can listen to those conversations instead of your own racing thoughts.
Here’s who we have:
0:00 - John Moe introducing the show and then talking about the differences and similarities between Dubuque, Iowa and Duluth, Minnesota.
21:10 - Comedian and writer Josh Gondelman describes the daily routine of his elderly pug, Bizzy.
32:06 - Janet Varney, screen actor, host of The JV Club Podcast here on Maximum Fun, tells us about long drives from Tucson to Glacier National Park that she took when she was a kid.
53:56 - Peter Sagal from Wait Wait... Don’t Tell Me. He tells us about running shoes and, yes, running socks.
1:04:47 - Tre’Vell Anderson and Jarrett Hill from the podcast FANTI lead a discussion of glasses sliding down your nose and also how to prepare rice.
1:17:34 - Lisa Hanawalt from the Baby Geniuses podcast on Maximum Fun, creator of the animated show Tuca and Bertie. Tuca and Bertie are birds but she’s doesn’t talk about birds, she talks about how she takes care of her horse.
1:36:26 - From Jordan, Jesse, Go!, Jordan Morris and Jesse Thorn are with us. They have a lot to say about west coast geography and antique shopping.
1:54:05 - Bridger Winegar is a comedy writer and podcast host. He lives in California. He walks us through one of his favorite cookie recipes as well as giving us updates on his many cousins.
2:23:25 - Laura House, our meditation helper and co-host of Tiny Victories stops by to talk about packing.
2:44:57 - John Hodgman helps us play a very slow and methodical video game. We hope you’re not awake for the end of the episode but if you are, that’s okay, just run it on repeat.
