    Graffiti - how'd that get there? | Andre Hyland | SBUTV | #27

    When a half-built downtown LA condo project turned into the "Graffiti Towers," with 55 stories tagged floor by floor 700 feet in the air, everyone driving past wondered the same thing: how did they do that? On this episode of Sam Brown University TV, we get into the ladders, the logistics, and the eternal question of whether it's vandalism or art (spoiler: it's both). Joining us is Andre Hyland, an actor and comedian with a fine arts degree from the University of Cincinnati whose graffiti has been shown in museum exhibitions. He talks about painting newspaper boxes and street signs while dressed as a construction worker, the cop stop that almost got him, and how sneaking around the streets shaped his comedy. We're also joined by Bill Dunleavy, director of Superchief Gallery in Los Angeles, who went from bike messenger and photographer to curating hundreds of shows that champion artists working outside the traditional art world. He breaks down the history of graffiti, LA's push to go bigger than everyone else, and what it really takes to haul buckets of paint up a hundred flights of stairs.

    Is punk dead? | Joe Trohman | SBUTV | #24

    Joe Trohman of Fall Out Boy sits down with Sam to settle a question that's been gnawing at him for years: is punk dead, and did Fall Out Boy kill it? They get into Joe's Chicago hardcore roots, vinyl digging, the Sex Pistols being a manufactured boy band, the underground scene, why genre labels ruin everything, "come to Brazil", and the Insane Clown Posse. Whoop whoop!

Sam and Timmy don’t discuss dvd’s and VHS, but they DO talk about hot dogs, the legacy of The Whitest Kids U’ Know, and life I guess. You know why you’re here - enjoy it!

    Could We Survive the Post-Apocalypse? | Jon Daly & Manu Toigo | SBUTV | #16

    Today on Sam Brown University TV, we’re asking a dangerous question: Could we survive the post-apocalypse? We all like to believe we’d be great in an apocalyptic scenario. We personally like to think we’d be calm and resourceful. But honestly, we all have a hard time when the grocery store rearranges the aisles. Sam is joined by Jon Daly, comedian and Fallout cast member who’s technically already lived through the end of civilization (on camera) and Manu Toigo, a survival expert and Naked and Afraid veteran who has actually survived extreme wilderness conditions with nothing but skill and mindset. Together, they break down, what survival really takes, whether modern life has made us weaker, and how long Sam realistically lasts. Jon even recounts a big trauma from his past, and Sam laughs the entire time. This episode isn’t just about bunkers and canned beans. It’s about resilience, mindset, and what happens when comfort disappears. If everything collapsed tomorrow…would you adapt?

    Do Documentaries Have to Be Boring? | Derek Waters & Amy Scott | SBUTV | #15

    Today on Sam Brown University TV, we’re asking a question that should have an easy answer: Do documentaries have to be boring? Because let’s be honest; documentaries are either the most interesting thing you’ve ever seen… or something you turn off halfway through and never return to. Sam Brown is joined by Derek Waters, creator of Drunk History, and Amy Scott, acclaimed documentary filmmaker. Together, they break down why documentaries get a bad reputation, give a thousand Letterboxd recommendations for ones that don’t suck, and expound on what makes a good one. So get comfortable, as we do the opposite of Netflix and don’t make a you sit through two hours of slow drone footage to do it.
