Episode 145: Gareth Reynolds ('The Dollop' and 'You're The Worst')

Brown Deer, Wisconsin native and realistic Packers fan Gareth
Reynolds is best known as the co-host of The Dollop, a popular
American history podcast that has landed him a book
deal and has brought him to perform in places like Iceland,
Australia, and throughout the United States. On top of being a
world-renowned podcast personality, as well as a writer (Arrested
Development, You're The Worst) and actor (New Girl, Maron),
Reynolds regularly tours as a stand-up comedian.


Last week, we hosted a special homecoming appearance for Reynolds
at Club Garibaldi. Prior to that sold-out show, the comedian sat
down with host Tyler Maas to catch him up on everything he's been
up to since the last time he was on the podcast. Within that
18-month span, Reynolds co-wrote a book, toured Iceland and
Australia, wrote for two beloved TV comedies, and landed a few
more acting roles. He spoke about his show's international
popularity, the differences between the Arrested Development and
You're The Worst writers' rooms, how he got a part on New
Girl, and what he'll be working on next. They pair also talked
about the Packers, and Maas accidentally predicted Mike
McCarthy's firing.
