In Tandem with Chloe Radcliffe
Ever think you'd see Ralph Barbosa on a tandem bike? Ralph and I ride a bicycle built for two and talk edging, child therapy (what a pair of topics there), relationships, breakups, movies, dads, and almost dying.
James Acaster and I ride a tandem bike (sorry, to British people that's "tandem cycle"...in England, "bike" is a word you wouldn't say in front of your mother). We talk career anxiety, hangxiety, and gator anxiety, along with acting in a movie and being around celebrities. James' HBO special "Hecklers Welcome" was shot in England and is out now in America, and he has four other standup specials on Netflix.
Caitlin Peluffo and I were roommates (in kinda the tandem bike of apartments) and now we cycle together and talk hitting on men, men hitting on us, breakups, babies, getting drunk, being hungover, and one cute dog. Caitlin has done standup on Comedy Central and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Roy Wood Jr. absolutely HATES tandem biking, more than any other cycling guest so far. We talk Formula 1, Top Gun, The Daily Show, and codependence.
Kate Sisk lets me ask invasive questions that are only acceptable because we're not making eye contact on this tandem bike. We talk cycling with The Rock; who our parents might have banged; weddings and proposals; and drinking beer with our high school bullies. And Kate pitches a new segment...Random On A Tandem. Kate has performed on Comedy Central and has written for The Onion, and was a professional soccer player for the Puerto Rico Women’s National Team. (Also, in this episode, I wear gloves that make me look like a serial killer. Very sorry. Murder vibes for no reason.)
Akilah Hughes is in constant fear and pain on the back of my tandem bike, and she STILL manages to be funny. We talk voluntarily being whisked away by Jack the Ripper; falling out of a hot air balloon; and romance with a dog we pass.
Romesh Ranganathan had a tough time on the tandem bike but he hides it well. We talk career panic, British pronunciation, morning burritos, starting as a teacher before becoming a standup comedian, and why hip-hop is embarrassing.
Matthew Broussard and I are both absolute losers who love biking and math...so of course he's the only person who I could put a tandem bike in an elevator with. We ride in traffic and over the Queensboro Bridge, and talk insecurity, being half Jewish, and taking Citibikes on the NYC subway.
Brittany Carney is the first tandem cyclist interview guest to wear high heels on the bike. She and I talk Benjamin Franklin, history, and the 13 colonies; white guys who love Japan and swords and knives; and short skirts. Brittany has been seen on Comedy Central and has a special on youtube.
Ian Fidance is a bipolar bisexual smoking double cigarettes on a tandem bike, the most bi of bicycles. We talk being annoying, getting arrested, unprotected sex, and Ian pees in public. A wild season finale. Ian has a special on youtube and hosts Bein' Ian With Jordan.
