Welcome back! This is our first episode after a long break.

I wanted to start with my friends Newton Mayenge and Whitney Bowers.

A lot of exciting life events have ensued with Whitney and Newton since our last chat.

They got married.

They've won seven independent film awards (and counting) for the recent "Dark Tales" including Outstanding Achievement for Best Acting Duo.

Newton just wrapped the role of Jim Chones in HBO's upcoming Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty | Official Teaser | HBO Max, produced by Adam McKay, starring John C. Reilly, Adrien Brody, Jason Segel, Sally Field and more.

Whitney and Newton tell us what it took to get to this magical place while indulging in some celebratory Eggnog and Peppermint Schnapps.

Chris O'Shea is not only a talented actor, but he's also a true testament to the fact that making it in Hollywood involves a bit of luck and timing. While on holiday from his home town in Sussex to visit his brother in Los Angeles, Chris had attended an acting workshop on a whim, which led to instananeous bookings and meetings with the highest profile talent agencies in the business. Chris has since been recurring on hit TV series Madam Secretary as Jareth Glover, as well as meaty roles in Baby Daddy, Patriots Day, and feature film Gone.

Joe Wolosz is the Vintner of Napa Valley's Gentleman Farmer Wines, a man whose long and impressive career has taken him from working in restaurant kitchens, to studying oenology and viticulture at UC Davis, and running his own hotel and wine label. Joe's a restless creative spirit who seeks excellence in everything he does, and he and Sarah recount the arc of their longtime friendship while sipping the latest vintages of his delicious Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon.
