Messy musician talk with sharp emotional corners.
Bob Schneider and Clint Wells talk like two road-tested musicians still processing the bus ride home. The show runs on blunt jokes, sudden moral turns, and personal stories that somehow connect God, Metallica, passwords, Ohio, and getting older.

I'm OK You're OK, I'm Not OK You're Not OK is a conversation show built around Bob Schneider and Clint Wells talking without much visible machinery. The appeal is the speed. A small production stumble can become a bit, a bit can become a rant, and the rant can unexpectedly land on something that sounds like hard-won emotional truth. One episode may begin with the idea of seeing God and end up in the tangled connection between fathers, Catholic language, fear, and faith. Another can start with James Hetfield's public family drama and shift into a broader thought about addiction, divorce, grown children, and what happens when someone stops protecting a troubled person. The show is funny, but not gentle. It likes friction. It also likes absurd detours, including Ohio geography, Tom Cruise's 1990s run, Ben Shapiro, JFK conspiracy stories, eclipse anxiety, compromised passwords, and the strange social weather around Austin and Saxon Pub. Music is always nearby, sometimes as biography, sometimes as talk, sometimes as the setting for a story that would make less sense in a cleaner studio podcast. Schneider and Wells do not sound like hosts performing neutrality. They sound like people with shared history, loose boundaries, and a high tolerance for interrupting each other until the point finally appears. That gives the show a lived-in quality. The self-help and philosophy label fits, but only if the listener understands that the philosophy arrives through complaint, embarrassment, memory, and jokes that keep pushing after a more careful show would have stopped. It is best when it is half ridiculous and half uncomfortably sincere. The mess is part of the map.
Made for: For listeners who like comic musician banter, aging-and-regret conversations, and philosophy that arrives through stories instead of lectures. It suits people comfortable with blunt humor and abrupt pivots.
What sets it apart: The show turns casual road-life chatter into unsanded emotional argument, without separating comedy from confession. Its looseness feels earned because the recurring chemistry carries the digressions.
