Oh this is embarrassing. A lot of talking over the guest. Soaked in Woke Hollywood liberal correctness
A perfect trio. Love the irreverent format. Always makes me smile.
This is a great podcast if you're intensely interested in how the upper 0.1% live, think, and speak to one another.
I love your humor and love for each other. This is a fun show. In fact, yours and "This American Life" are my two favorites. And no, I'm not Ira Glass. Ha! I love your kindness and reverence for each other and your guests. Your humility and empathy tells us you've been through some things. Also, Sean, I don't know if "Good Night, Oscar", is available to stream, but I look forward to seeing it when it does. Congratulations on your Tony. I think you're all amazing talents.
Please call Professor Cox back. Ask him to make another podcast. NOW is the time to keep science sexy!
