I Barely Know You is a clubhouse-style podcast hosted by Dylan Silver and Matt Forte, two semi-strangers who showed up with absolutely no plan and somehow can't stop talking. Each episode explores the surprisingly revealing conversations hiding inside everyday topics. Appropriate movie theater reaction noises, celebrity cake preferences, the lost art of the VHS slipcase, they tackle it all. Its a special place where guests are lovingly ambushed with offbeat games, tangents come dangerously close to overtaking the main topic, and every episode ends with more questions than it started with. Embrace chaos, just listen to I Barely Know You.

  • Dylan & Matt | Can Explain
    Jun 5 2026

    This week Dylan, Matt, and Marin test the show's limits and the audience's patience by going guestless and digging deeper into one another's personalities.

    Matt's not a morning person, Dylan's not a clothing person, but everyone loves Mel C.

    Also: The gang grows suspicious of online personality tests as they play "Sponge or Spice?", fondly recall the days of the cassingle, Space Jam as a bedtime ritual, and a brief detour into some very dark SpongeBob Reddit threads that Dylan doesn't care to elaborate any further on.

    The I Can Explain Guy is an inspiration to us all.

  • Ashley Michelle Grant | no cap, ALL CAPS.
    May 22 2026

    Dylan's got bangs, Matt sports a mustache, Marin has thoughts and everything is totally fine.

    Having finally made the pilgrimage to Casa Bonita, Dylan reports back with cliff diver coasters and a lot of feelings while Matt recalls fond memories of childhood salads. Also on the agenda: the monoculture is dead, grandmas vs grannys, and what you watched as a kid says more about you than you think.

    Vertical Drama Love Awards Best Actress in a Comedy and Vertical pioneer Ashley Michelle Grant swings by to discuss early comedy influences, collapsable champaign flute towers and Arizona weather patterns.

    Also, the gang plays a slang game! ASL, TFW, rizz, and no cap, are just a few of the terms Dylan has absolutely never heard of. Ashley over performs, Matt loves Harry Styles.

    Theres a million other things they cover but like a voice memo, its probably better if you stopped reading and just listened to the episode already.

    We know Ashley. But we barely know her.

  • Spencer Watson | Has Left The Group Chat
    May 8 2026

    Sometimes the only thing harder than leaving home is going back. This week Dylan and Matt discuss the food they look forward to when they venture east, the TV shows that remind them of home, and diners. Is Denny's a diner? Why are LA diners different? These are the questions that matter.

    Then, Spencer Watson, Actor, Writer, EMT, and scuba diving aspiring pilot joins the gang to play "Final Stunt Game." Based on Spencer's love of Mr. Cruise, he must identify whether described film stunts belong to Tom, someone else entirely, or were completely made up.

    Before appearing on our show Spencer was just recently in Paul Greengrass's Academy Award nominated Apple TV+ film The Lost Bus along side Matthew McConaughey and America Ferrera. We imagine the experience on our floor was comparable.

    Also covered: Spencer's brave decision to leave a complicated group chat, why COVID turned him into an EMT, the case for leaning into every passion you've ever had, and a cake almost as famous as the famous person who loves it.

    We know Spencer. But we barely know him.
