It’s ya boi TechBoi Steve with a sick Youtube tutorial- how to convert a google doc to a PDF. Did we mention it’s sick?

Co- made with Matt Schaffer & Greg Puglese

This is Donna the broker and she is ready to ruin your Saturday. And she is based on my house hunting experiences during a fun housing boom.

Who knew your greatest fantasy could be so mundane?

BTS info: Haely White and I were in the depths of parenting hell during COVID-19 with no childcare when we started texting about doing a sketch together. This was naturally born out of so many truths and surprisingly able to be made even though we are 3,000 miles apart.

Enjoy.

What would it be like if your favorite show on HGTV featured way crappier budgets and personalities? Introducing Broke House Hunters.

This was a labor of love that for over a year I just kept trying to get produced but it just seemed too impossible. And then my wife and I actually moved into a bungalow in an “up and coming” neighborhood and bam- I had my set!

Enjoy.

What happens when Pookie’s call goes straight to voicemail.

Written/directed/edited by myself. Shot with a little help from my super nice wife (while pregnant).

What could compel a man with a below-average athletic ability and limited ski experience to attempt such a daring jump at CamelBack Mountain? The following is found footage from his GoPro and not suitable for all ages.

"We're New Here" is a short series I came up with after my wife and I first moved to LA from NY and we struggled to adapt to our new, strange city.

We were sitting at the bar at R & D in Santa Monica when I pitched her the idea. She loved it right away which is huge cause she usually thinks most of my ideas are turds.

My co-writing credit varies per episode.

Wanna crush your fitness goals and get some SICK results? Then come on down to Colbert’s Basement Gym. Literally. If you come from the front door. Otherwise the back slider is open from M-F, 10-4.

Colbert’s Basement Gym was a spark that ignited a fun passion I now have for low-budget, comedy sketches. We were staying at my in-laws after we moved from LA and we’re hunting for both jobs and a house when the idea came to me. All shot on an iphone featuring me and an occasional, solid actor. This series is dumb as hell but super fun to make. Enjoy!

This is a parody of those Masterclass trailers- specifically the Gordon Ramsey one. And yes I ended up getting kinda drunk during the course of shooting this. Enjoy.
