When I interviewed Jeff Hiller a few weeks ago he told me that at one point in his life he was afraid to “come out” as an actor. Today, Jeff snagged an Emmy nomination for his work on HBO’s Somebody, Somewhere. Thank you @boomboomhiller.bsky.social, for being your fullest self, and congratulations!

Last week on my show I had my guests share their most controversial pop culture hot takes. Turns out most of the takes weren’t just hot, they were also true.
You can listen or watch wherever you get your YouTubes or podcasts, and hear a few of my hot takes as well!
