We Think It's Funny

We've got a great guest on the pod this week: Mark Feuerstein is hanging out with us! You probably know him as the "concierge doctor" from Royal Pains, or maybe from his roles in The West Wing and Hotel Cocaine. Mark is one of those guys who has a million hilarious stories from being in the industry for years, but he's also just super down-to-earth when talking about the chaos of life and being a dad. He fits right in with the vibe of the show, and we had a blast catching up with him about his new movie Guns and Moses. It's a fun, easy listen that you won't want to miss.
