Each episode then expands into a funny, thoughtful conversation with a guest about what actually deserves attention, what’s wildly overhyped, and what we’re getting wrong. There might be music. There might be absurdity. There will always be laughs.

This is That Sounds Like a Lot, the show where comedian Matt Buechele breaks down the news of the week (even when it’s way too much) and talks to interesting people about what’s actually worth paying attention to. This week, Matt sits down with comedian and author Zach Zimmerman to talk about dating apps (Zach is a bi king now), attachment styles, and growing up around conservative religion. Topics - Body image and online presence - Dating, bisexuality, and polyamory - Attachment styles and over-pathologizing - Religious upbringings and family dynamics - Standup, career motivation, and creative risk - Phones, attention, and “the brick” - Consumer rewards, coffee, and everyday economics - Substances: weed, gummies, and shrooms - Listener advice - “too much” or manageable situations - Zach’s new book: Ship Mother and parent-child reconciliation - Art-making in dark times and “hope as a discipline” - Comedic predictions CHAPTERS 00:00:00 White House Correspondence Dinner and Gunman Manifestos 00:03:00 Zach Zimmerman on the Video Podcast Body Reveal 00:04:59 Entering the Bi King Era and Dating App Boundaries 00:07:55 Roasting Matt Buechele’s Avoidant Attachment Style 00:13:02 The Pastor to Comedian Pipeline and Religious Upbringing 00:18:32 Using the Brick Phone to Kill the Scroll 00:21:35 The Aging Crisis and Creative Resistance 00:26:05 Dunkin Rewards Point Inflation and Loyalty Program Betrayal 00:34:24 That Sounds Like A Lot Construction Worker Woods Poop 00:41:27 Ship Mother and the Chaos of a Bermuda Cruise 00:53:29…","meta_description":"Matt Buechele walks-and-talks his way through the White House Correspondents' Dinner chaos, the case for adding ballrooms to every school in America, and…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":4171,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/that-sounds-like-a-lot-with-matt-buechele-7832702/episodes/dinner-and-a-show-at-the-white-house-zach-zimmerman/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/that-sounds-like-a-lot-with-matt-buechele-7832702/dinner-and-a-show-at-the-white-house-zach-zimmerman.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
