Tank Tops are ridiculous, but they feel good, and the reason they feel good is that they’re ridiculous. Welcome to Tank Top Talks - a weekly conversation podcast where comedian Matt Braunger sits down with comedians, writers, actors, and other luminaries, each of them wearing a tank of their choice. Once Matt and his guest get past the well-earned silliness, the conversation is always worth the listen (or the watch). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
