Sleeping with Celebrities

Getting to sleep can be difficult sometimes. Now you can achieve that urgently needed rest by taking advantage of our most precious natural resource: celebrities. Each week on the slyly humorous and reassuring Sleeping with Celebrities, host John Moe talks with a different guest from the world of entertainment about something they know a lot about. The conversation is guaranteed to be just interesting enough to draw your attention away from your own swirling anxieties but never interesting enough to keep you awake. No startling revelations, no dramatic screaming confrontations, but plenty of low-key dialogue, intricately laced deadpan comedy, and a ticket to dreamland.

    Lachy Gillespie of The Wiggles Loves Tennis and Putting You to Sleep

    If you’ve ever been lucky enough to experience the Australian musical comedy group The Wiggles (perhaps you are in preschool or have hung out with someone who is), you know that they bring loads of high-spirited energy to every performance. Lachy Gillespie, the one in purple, shifts to a much, much lower gear for our conversation about his favorite hobby, tennis. You won’t break a sweat listening to this one. You’ll be lulled by the gentle serve and volley of the conversation, tinged with that lovely Down Under accent.

    Dan McCoy Is Not Miserly In His Love For Uncle Scrooge McDuck

    If you love movies, especially if you love movies that tried their hardest but were comically unsuccessful, you may already know Dan McCoy as one of the hosts of Maximum Fun’s podcast, The Flop House. Besides being a film buff, Dan’s a former writer on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and an enthusiastic fan of Disney’s Uncle Scrooge McDuck, the wealthiest duck in the world. Dan shares his well-modulated fandom for the arcana and the minutiae of Uncle Scrooge and soon it’s like you’re sleeping in a mountain of gold coins.

    Lennon Parham Guides You Through Her CD Binders

    If you are unfamiliar with the concept of CD binders, then you are either too young to have ever used them or, perhaps, far too old. If you are unfamiliar with the concept of Lennon Parham, then you are just not a person who enjoys television and entertainment. She has been featured in Veep, Arrested Development, Mad Men, and a variety of other shows you already enjoy, so quit acting like you don’t know who she is. Seriously, cut it out. Lennon lulls you to sleep by walking through her semi-carefully organized CD collection and tells stories about acquiring each one, something you can’t do with Spotify, you punk kids.

    Strong But Gentle Salad Opinions with Kyle Bornheimer

    You might have seen veteran comedic actor Kyle Bornheimer as Teddy, the ex-boyfriend who loves pilsners on Brooklyn Nine-Nine. In real life, Kyle has equally powerful thoughts about salads, including that all salads should be chopped salads. Let him guide you through important salad thoughts as you drift off to sleep.

    Mara Wilson Goes to Boarding School

    You remember Mara Wilson as a young girl starring in films such as Matilda, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Miracle on 34th Street. You probably don’t remember her in Idyllwild Arts Academy, because that was not a film but an arts-based boarding school in California and you probably didn’t go there with her. In this languid and relaxing interview, Mara shares her stories and experiences at a school where, unlike her films, there was no telekinesis, Robin Williams dressed up like a lady, or real Santa Clauses.

    Griffin Newman and His Muppet Action Figure Collection. Yes, Really.

    You may know Griffin Newman from his roles as Arthur on The Tick, Orko on Masters of the Universe Revelations, Watto on The George Lucas Talk Show, or as Kevin Costner’s surprisingly fiery intern in Draft Day. Or maybe you know him from the message boards talking up the Palisades Toys Muppet action figures of the early to mid-aughts, where he had quite a lot to say about the intricacies involved in the brief but (to Griffin) memorable run the toys had. Let him tell you all about it. Or start to. You’ll be asleep before you know it.

    Jessica St. Clair Offers You Bedtime Francophilia

    You might know actor Jessica St. Clair from the television comedies Review and Space Force, her new audiobook, The Art of Small Talk (co-written with Casey Wilson), or from any bookstore that has a special section of books where a woman throws away her American life and runs away to the French countryside. Turns out, there are A LOT of such books and Jessica’s read well over 40 of them. She gently and hilariously shares her fascination with the genre, the ideas behind it, and the trepidation her comedy partner and husband have with such notions.

    Fall Asleep with the Gang from the Magic Tavern

    Matt Young, Adal Rifai, and Arnie Niekamp are well-known to fans of their podcast Hello from the Magic Tavernas Usidore the Wizard, Chunt the Badger, and, well, Arnie Niekamp. They step out of character to join John Moe for a broad ranging, fairly vague, and very entertaining journey through movies that they all saw a long time ago but don’t remember all that well. Was Jessica Tandy in all movies from the early eighties? Did she die in all of them? And what was the plot of Batteries Not Included anyway? You’ll gently ponder these questions as you doze off.
