#912. This week on Off the Vine, Kaitlyn is joined by stand-up comedian and internet funny guy Trevor Wallace—aka the man who perfectly captures modern bro culture, White Claw energy, and those unhinged thoughts we all have but usually keep to ourselves. He’s wildly funny, wildly self-aware, and somehow turned it all into a full-blown career.Trevor talks about starting stand-up at 17 with zero backup plan, the viral videos the internet refuses to forget, the cease-and-desist that changed everything, and the beautifully chaotic Notes app where his funniest ideas are born. They get into dating, random celebrity airplane encounters, their shared misophonia struggle, and just riff off each other nonstop the entire episode. You’re gonna laugh. You might gasp. You’re absolutely gonna text someone about it.Listen or watch now!If you’re LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below!
