By The Way In Conversation With Jeff Garlin: Zach Galifianakis

Zach Galifianakis might be one of the most relaxed performers onstage and is definitely Jeff’s favorite comedian. Zach explains how he bombs more in real life conversations, talks about his relationship with his brother, and tells us the different ways his wife busts his chops. Zach & Jeff also chat about shampoo, bumper stickers, and the positives/negatives of the advancement of technology. It’s the kind of conversation that made Jeff actually rip a chair from laughter.

Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy is the inspiration behind Garlin’s venture into recording these candid conversations.

We also hear about Tweedy’s pure enjoyment of a certain reality TV show, the best display of anger he’s seen towards him onstage, and the nicest thing a stranger has said about his guitar playing.
