  • Summary

  • Why am I making a podcast? The best answer I can come up with is that I feel like I’ve been failing my entire life, so I can speak from plenty of experience. Sure, I was on The X Files and Californication, I wrote some books and made some music. But I also got a literal F in The New York Times. I had a high-profile divorce and a magical mystery tour through rehab. So now I want to get into the way that failure looms over all of us and really shapes who we are. What’s good about that, what’s bad about that, what’s holding us back in shame? Lots to unpack here. So join me and some cool guests from sports, tv, politics, business and beyond starting May 7, wherever you get your podcasts – and we’ll get into it.

  • Gabor Maté and the Reason We’re All Addicted

    Gabor Maté and the Reason We’re All Addicted
    May 14 2024

    The closest thing I’ll ever get to recording a therapy session is likely this episode, featuring the always wise Dr. Gabor Maté. The author, physician, and public speaker holds up a mirror (er, Zoom screen) and reminds me how friendly I’ve gotten with self-criticism and regret. We talk about parenting, collaboration, and addiction, and I leave the interview feeling a level of gratitude that I don’t know what to do with. Here’s that conversation.

  • Bette Midler and the Meanest Man in Showbiz

    Bette Midler and the Meanest Man in Showbiz
    May 7 2024

    Never in my life did I think I’d get to talk to Bette Midler, only admire her from afar. And while I can’t say the decorated performer is just like us, what I can say is that Bette was more than happy to sit down and talk to me about things that have gone wrong in her life. Tune in to hear about workplace horrors, how being self-deprecating doesn’t make me special, and what it really means to know thyself. All hail The Divine Miss M.
