One of my oldest pals J.R. Griffin joins the show to talk about how we met, overseeing digital for Fremantle (American Idol, America's Got Talent, The Price Is Right), going from music journalism to working at E! Entertainment, the book an ex-girlfriend suggested he read, dogs with cataracts, Rammstein, the time Gwen Stefani told him he was cute, nicknames, writing for Mean Street and Axcess magazine, what we were like in our twenties and so much more. We also did a round of Just Me Or Everyone and Podcast Pals Product Picks.
