Show notes

Welcome to Whiskey Ginger a Wave series.

Andrew Santino sits down with comedian Ryan Hamilton for a hilarious conversation about stand-up, life's unexpected disasters, finding the funny in terrible situations, and what happens when the universe decides to hit you with an actual bus.

Ryan's brand-new Netflix special, This Just Hit Me, takes one of the craziest experiences of his life and turns it into comedy gold. After being struck by a bus and facing a long recovery, Ryan somehow found a way to make the whole thing funny.

From growing up in rural Idaho to performing on some of the biggest stages in comedy, Ryan has built a career with his uniquely charming, observational style. He's opened for Jerry Seinfeld and Nate Bargatze, appeared on The Tonight Show, and continues to prove that you don't have to be the loudest guy in the room to get the biggest laughs.

Show notes

Welcome to Whiskey Ginger a Wave series presented by Fanduel.

Andrew Santino sits down with comedian Jared Freid to talk about getting older, dating, family, relationships, and the strange realization that you can be a full-grown adult and somehow still be a child the second you're around your parents.

Jared's brand-new Netflix special, The Family Plan, is out now, digging into his relationship with his Boomer parents, family vacations, body issues, and the fact that yes — at 41 years old, he's still on the family cell phone plan.

Jared is also the host of The JTrain Podcast and co-host of U Up?, where he's spent years diving headfirst into the insanity of modern dating, relationships, apps, breakups, and all the other stuff we're apparently supposed to have figured out by now.
