A Fond Memory: Ben Schwartz Disobeys Bridger

On I Said No Gifts!, host Bridger Winegar invites friends, loved ones and people he’s secretly trying to destroy to join him for conversation and a game or two. He only has one request: No gifts! Naturally, every guest disobeys, meaning their chat will eventually turn to whatever object lies beneath the wrapping paper.

With over 100 episodes, this comedy podcast lets Bridger bring the funniest people to his backyard for all kinds of conversations. Guests including Weird Al Yankovic, Nicole Byer, Paul Scheer, Betsy Sodaro, Paul F. Tompkins and D’Arcy Carden have disobeyed the rules and bombarded the gracious host with a thoughtful or useless gift. Sometimes both.
