Kicking off with a breakdown of the biggest Brands of the Week, Donny reveals the brands he thinks have recently leveled up, which ones have tumbled down, and he makes a brand prediction looking forward given this week’s political and entertainment zeitgeist. Next, he sits with legendary actor, writer, producer, and longtime friend, Denis Leary. The two dive right into defining Denis' edgy brand, how a strong concept outlives fame, and what he's learned from acting greats like DeNiro and Hoffman. They also discuss Denis' passion for firefighters, how the Chauvin conviction could be the start of real change, why America needs a female President, and how you're nobody unless your mom thinks you're somebody.
