THE DEVAN COSTA ROAST — BEN AVERY

Ben Avery and longtime friend John Knauf spend the episode lovingly roasting fellow comedian and podcast host Devan Costa. What begins as playful teasing quickly turns into a nostalgic conversation about friendship, creative partnerships, old disagreements, and the kinds of stories that only come from knowing someone for years. Throughout the segment, Ben and John jokingly "expose" Devan over a collection of harmless grievances, including his taste in movies, his love of rap music, his interest in social causes, and countless other running jokes that have developed through years of friendship. The conversation frequently drifts into stories from the early days of their friendship, shared experiences, and the dynamic that eventually led to Devan becoming one of Ben's closest collaborators. John also shares the story of how he and Devan stopped speaking for nearly a year following a political disagreement before eventually reconciling and becoming close friends again. Later, a viewer calls into the livestream, leading the conversation toward stories about working in rough neighborhoods, cultural differences, and unforgettable experiences from everyday life. Throughout the episode, the hosts mix storytelling, improvisation, exaggerated character work, and affectionate ribbing while celebrating a longtime friendship rather than genuinely criticizing it.
