We get our affirmation from strangers. Let that sink in. At the end of my rope, I planned a creative retreat with Scott Hammell. A fellow creature of the stage who helped me find friendship while the strangers are indoors. We discuss the dark moments, why we love what we do, the worst we've ever seen each other bomb, and how to be a friend.

Music: Good Morning Love by Common.

Powerful black artist & activist Malindi Ayienga joins the podcast to talk about blindspots in the artistic community, privilege, and how to talk openly without shame.  Black and white conversation is an essential step in making progress.  How do we make changes in our day to day life without feeling overwhelmed? How do we talk about racism?

In this episode I discuss how to make $1,000 a day from home, pilots best kept secrets, histories most convincing conspiracy theories, and sex.

And now for something completely different.

In this episode I speak candidly on the psychological toll of nostalgia, play some songs which will trigger it, ruminate on the people who made this podcast possible, and tell a heck ton of jokes.

*CONTENT WARNING* this episode is spooky as hell. I discuss how Poland is a country, how to cope with losing your identity, songs that will make you sad, and the scariest story I've ever heard.

What do I talk about? I'll tell you. Performing with The Roots, Kim Jong-Un being Kim Jon-Dead, a flattening curve (in a good way), and Dunkaroos.

In this explosive episode I discuss how not to be sad, how not to open a country too early, how Houdini was a spy, how to swallow a sword with a cherry skewered on it, and free beer.

What do I talk about? Who do I talk about it with? Our collective depression, how to get free beer, crazy sleep schedules, TikTok, how to light a sitcom, throwing pretzels in a fancy penthouse, and dating Siri. My guest may or may not be famous (the latter).

Listen to our first episode back (since the accident) where I talk about Boris Jonhson dying, the plastic surgery I’m getting, how to live like a king in New York City, and a drunk bird.
