Welcome to Whiskey Ginger a Wave series presented by Fanduel Predicts.

Andrew Santino sits down with comedian, actor, streamer, and internet pioneer Andy Milonakis to talk about blowing up before social media really existed, navigating internet fame, streaming culture, old-school MTV chaos, and why the online world somehow finally caught up to Andy’s brain.

They get into early viral fame, gaming, content addiction, weird fan encounters, comedy evolution, loneliness online, and the strange reality of growing up in public while never really fitting into traditional Hollywood. Andy shares stories from every era of the internet and proves once again he’s one of the most unique people to ever come out of comedy.

Welcome to Whiskey Ginger a Wave series presented by Fanduel Predicts.

Andrew Santino sits down with comedian and podcast host Ian Fidance for a completely unpredictable episode full of insane stories, stand-up chaos, sobriety talk, road comedy nightmares, and enough energy to concern medical professionals. Ian has one of the most unique voices in comedy right now and somehow manages to be heartfelt and completely out of pocket at the exact same time.

They get into touring, addiction and recovery, bombing, comedy clubs, wild encounters on the road, and why comedians are probably not the people you should trust emotionally. Ian and Santino bounce all over the place in the best way possible.

Welcome to Whiskey Ginger a Wave series presented by Fanduel Predicts.

Andrew Santino sits down with comedian and performer Zach Zucker, also known as his chaotic alter ego Jack Tucker, for one of the strangest and funniest episodes in recent memory. They talk about clowning, live performance, bombing on purpose, uncomfortable comedy, and why the best bits often feel like they’re moments away from complete disaster.

Zach breaks down the creation of Jack Tucker, performing for unpredictable crowds around the world, and how embracing failure became part of the act itself. Santino tries to keep the train on the tracks while Zach repeatedly lights the tracks on fire.

If you like weird comedy, uncomfortable brilliance, and comedians pushing things into dangerous territory, this one’s for you.

Andrew Santino welcomes back comedian, actor, author, and podcast host Pete Holmes for another beautifully chaotic episode full of comedy, spirituality, parenting, anxiety, creativity, and absolute nonsense. Pete and Santino bounce from deep philosophical ideas to the dumbest possible bits in under thirty seconds like only they can.

They talk about getting older, staying playful, stand-up evolution, weird audience moments, family life, and why comedy might just be the closest thing we have to religion. Pete also talks about his brand new stand-up special Silly Silly Fun Boy and his new children’s book Spells To Cast On Your Parents, available now for preorder.

Welcome to Whiskey Ginger a Wave series presented by Fanduel.

Andrew Santino sits down with comedian Rene Vaca to talk about coming up fast in comedy, navigating the internet spotlight, and what it actually takes to turn viral attention into real stand-up chops. Rene gets into the pressure of being “next up,” learning on the fly, and why the stage will always humble you no matter how many views you rack up online.

They get into bombing, confidence, the weird expectations that come with early success, and why staying sharp matters more than chasing hype. It’s honest, funny, and exactly what you want from a young comic figuring it out in real time.
