Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo “Kid” Licorish (@licorishislegit) welcome Australian stand-up comedian Clay McMath, host of Welcome To The Poddy, to a bonus episode of Black and Snerdy, with Mo calling in from a business trip in Oakland, California. Clay traces his show back to his pro basketball career, when a weekend away for a family funeral turned into a binge of the I Am Rapaport: Stereo Podcast and a plan to buy microphones with a teammate.
He explains how Welcome To The Poddy grew from talk about hip-hop, movies and Donald Trump’s first term into a weekly movie and TV review show built on personal stories. He also covers going solo after co-host Dante moved back to the US, his first open mic after retiring from basketball, and a first episode that reached about 450 people.
The movie talk centers on Clay’s snack-pairing method. A Kit Kat Chunky gets the call for Bad Boys: Ride or Die, while the hosts lobby for chocolate-covered blueberries in honor of Will Smith slapping Chris Rock, which leads into a debate about “ghetto famous” versus “black famous.” Clay recalls sitting through Holmes & Watson with Will Ferrell and John C.
Reilly and The Human Centipede 2, explains his half-point rating scale and his love of Jason Statham action movies, and teaches the proper butter-to-Vegemite ratio. The Mental Health Corner, Big Mad and Happy segments cover Clay’s 18-year friendship trip, AI-generated food photos on restaurant menus, subway riders who won’t give up seats for a dad carrying an infant, and Clay’s son trying to save an injured crow.
