Ok Nice with Joe Gleason
The second half of the two-man sketch crew Home Planet stops by and answers some Q's and coughs up a smooth playlist.
Fans of Ok Nice may remember four issues ago when Alex Forrest of the two-man sketch team Home Planet stopped by and graced us all with his charming presence.
Well, folks, it looks like we’re about to round out the Home Planet universe with the other half of the operation, Joe Gleason.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: no one is making stuff quite like Home Planet.
I’m always in awe of people who have the ability to create a whole new genre in a world where seemingly everything has been done in every possible way. Each time a new Home Planet video drops, it serves as this strange sort of inspiration to me that, yes, there’s a way to completely refrain from all redundancies and discover an endless array of original thought, somewhere.
If you don’t know what Home Planet is all about, check out their Twitter page, where they post every video. I’m so happy we have them.
Without further ado, here’s five questions and a playlist with ½ of the brains behind Home Planet, Joe Gleason.
What’s your day-to-day look like?
8:30 am…a chopper flies over Saigon…AGHHH…just another bad dream…thank god.
I make freelance digital marketing ads for work right now. So hopefully I’m being productive to continue tricking these companies into paying me to add captions on TikTok videos.
Creative-wise, I make videos with my dear friend Alex. If we’ve got an idea that we want to shoot and a gap in our schedules I’ll grab a camera and we’ll go get er done. I’m very blessed to be surrounded by effortlessly funny people who make video-making the best.
I love eating food, I love my girlfriend, I love sleeping. I am in bed by midnight, ready to enter the magical world of dreams.
Best advice you’ve been given?
My grandpa sent me this email when I was 12.
I’m happy he told me then. It’s never fun to spend time with someone who smells like shit.
Favorite thing you own?
I just moved in with my girlfriend and we got a giant TV that instantly made my day to day life 25% better.
What’s your go-to beverage?
My body is a slurry of Oi Ocha Green Tea, Chocolate Milk, and black coffee. I love them all and categorically refuse pick a favorite.
Favorite piece of art?
I just watched Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai which blew my mind. Forrest Whitaker is a modern day hitman who lives by the samurai code and takes care of pigeons. I love movies with all my heart.
Anything you'd like to plug?
I wanna give a shout-out to my boys Cameron, Caleb, and Patrick over at podcast about list. Go see them live when they do a show and strap in for the night of your life.
