Matt Walsh is an actor, comedian, writer, director, and one of the founding members of the legendary Upright Citizens Brigade. You've seen him in Veep, Old School, The Hangover, Ted, Ghostbusters, and countless comedy projects over the past few decades.

Some guests show up ready to tell stories. Matt shows up ready to have one. We bounce from the absurd importance of punctuation (yes, we spend an embarrassing amount of time debating whether Dr Pepper deserves that period) to improvisation, psychology, and Chicago. Along the way, he shares what it was like helping build UCB from the ground up, working on The Hangover, developing HBO's Veep before anyone knew what it would become, and why he thinks being quick is more valuable than trying to be the loudest person in the room.

I also loved hearing about the years he spent working with troubled teenagers before comedy became his career. It's one of those details that suddenly makes everything else click. Matt has this calm, observant way of looking at people that probably explains why he's been such a great improviser for so long.
