Comedian and actor Dustin Ybarra joins Sara Weinshenk for one of the most unpredictable episodes of SHENK yet. Dustin explains how a simple hobby turned into a full-blown metal detecting obsession, complete with beach treasure hunts, hidden engagement rings, mystery boxes from Michael's, and a detector named "Diggy Smalls."

They also dive into life as working comics, acting auditions, getting passed at The Comedy Store, collecting way too much stuff, documentary recommendations, weird Hollywood stories, and why every comedian secretly thinks they'll need that random costume one day.

If you like stand-up comedy podcasts, behind-the-scenes Hollywood stories, bizarre hobbies, and funny conversations between comedians, this episode is for you.
