I’m Bon Vivant, and professional talker, David Cross. I’ve been talking professionally for well over forty years. I’m good at it. I truly love a conversation that follows no specific linear train of thought but can start about the 2004 Red Sox and minutes later has become an in-depth look at the Iran/Contra hearings (with a detour about the best breakfast tacos in Austin). Whatever, as long as the conversation is funny, edifying, and real.
This podcast began as a vehicle for guests to explore the Best/Worst/Funniest/Saddest/Most Beautiful etc. things they’d ever Seen, Touched, Tasted, Smelled, and Heard. Somewhere along the way this became a loose premise, a jumping off point to learn more about my guests, and I let the conversations steer themselves.

Some episodes tickle my funny bone more than others. Understandably, comedic minds and comedy adjacent types doing a podcast hangout can’t be expected to have you rolling around with laughter. This is a genuinely light-hearted and funny podcast. I’m a fan of David Cross, and my fandom is unconditional. I have so much respect for David. Give this show a listen.

Very funny podcast! David can talk about serious matters, but also carry on a dry-witted improv bit for shockingly long.
I've enjoyed every guest, except for Robby Hoffman who seems very selfish and antisocial. But I David did a good job checking her nonsense while keeping it funny!
Keep up the good work!

I absolutely love David Cross and his chosen guests. At times I feel like I am hearing more about our host than the guest though, so it would be nice to have a little more reciprocated conversation. Still love David Cross’s humor and I look forward to every podcast!

I want to love this podcast, but so much of it is unlistenable. The entire Fred Armisen episode is a prime example. The “far away from the mic pretending we’re not doing the podcast yet” bit is unlistenable from an audio quality standpoint and from a content standpoint. I can’t understand anything if I’m listening in my car and it’s just quite tedious.
Once the podcast gets rolling it’s usually pretty good and interesting but the first 10-20 minutes is sometimes just a total throwaway and it doesn’t make me want to keep listening.

Love David Cross, I love so many of his guests, I was super excited for this, but after listening to about 15 episodes, I realize that the vast majority of every episode is David reminiscing with only occasional input from the guests. Only a few times was a guest able to hold their own and talk much. I really wanted to like this more than I do.

As a fan of David Cross for many years it was weird to tune into a podcast hosted by David that I didn’t like. Most of his interviews feel jaded and I genuinely can’t tell if he’s doing a bit or is truly miserable in this format. Especially in the Zach Woods interview. Personally I found most of the conversations uncomfortable and somewhat narcissistic.
