Mat Elfring is a longtime entertainment journalist with plenty of interviews under his belt. He's also a firm supporter of worker's rights and equality. Casual Yelling is a mixture of both, jumping between interviews with game devs, actors, and more, along with editorializing the current state of the country and how we treat marginalized people and the working class.
Yes, this show is all over the place. We're aware.
Do you have strong food opinions? For some reason, I do! "No ketchup on hot dogs" is a well-known cultural staple of Chicagoland. But why? Is it because Chicago just wants some form of identity because everyone won't stop talking about LA and NYC? Maybe... Is it a new thing Chicagoans started doing the past 20 years? NOPE. Is it annoying? Probably, to outsiders. However, I think there is actual reasoning behind no ketchup on hot dogs, and it goes back more than 150 years ago, and it's more than just one event that made this ingrained in Chicagoan culture.
Anyway, I yell about hot dogs for almost half an hour and completely forget to cite any of my sources from my research.

The Only Time I Headlined As A Comedian
Casual Yelling is back, with an official third season--after one episode of Season 2. I'm returning to the world of stand-up comedy in the Chicago suburbs, which I was a part of for a little over a decade. Why not kick things off with a bang? I'm talking about the first--and only--time I headlined a comedy show, and the ridiculously weird moment that happened halfway through my set.

WWE 2K26: Ragdolls, Lots of Options, Where's Charles Wright? (Visual Concepts' Bryan Williams Interview)
Continuing the annual tradition of torturing Bryan Williams from Visual Concepts, he is forced back into talking with Mat about some of WWE 2K26's gameplay improvements from last year's edition to 2K26. Do you love talks about wrestler fatigue, ragdoll physics, and why Mat is always mentioning Charles Wright? Then this episode is for you!
