Zach Sang Show

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.SUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55u See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.SUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55u See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

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.SUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55u See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Waterparks’ Awsten Knight is back on the show — at this point, we’ve genuinely lost count of how many times he’s been here — but this time he’s joining us to talk about the band’s new album 'JINX.'Three years in the making, Awsten breaks down the themes behind the record, from existential dread and losing father figures to talking to his inner child and why creativity, for him, is so rooted in that younger version of himself. He also gets into rebuilding the Waterparks team, taking their live shows back to more intimate rooms and collaborating with Blink-182’s Mark Hoppus thanks to an assist from Dillon Francis.Predictably the conversation winds up unpredictable. Awsten talks skincare, scoring video games, why making 'JINX' was “better than therapy,” DeuxMoi making it onto the album and whether Austin is actually a good kisser. We also get into his suspiciously soft feet and aloe socks, Otto’s abs, Zach, Dan and Awsten’s sleeping habits, his paranormal obsession, homemade Ouija boards and EMF readers — before Awsten pitches a sleepover.See Waterparks on tour ►►https://tinyurl.com/8phumemkSUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55u See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
