Do they address his pornography addiction? If not, that would’ve been a great opportunity that was messed. Since so many men are struggling with porn, pornography addiction.

Neal is such a great interviewer. I really like the premise of this podcast and how open his guests are willing to get with their struggles that you don’t get when they’re promoting something on the normal media circuit. Makes one feel less alone in the world. Also terry crews has an incredible story to tell great guest always root for him

Terry Crews as Chris’s dad is my absolute favorite role he’s played. One of my favorite characters of anything I’ve seen ever. Delivery was perfect, every line hilarious and his chemistry with the entire cast was an impeccable fit. How he had doubts about that role blows my mind. I still quote him from that show constantly.

I grew up in Flint. We had a beautiful craftsman home that was built by GM for their workers and the art scene and culture were top-notch I can buy my childhood home now for $5,000. Terry and Eminem have stories that reflect millions of us, growing up poor in the Rust Belt and I'm so glad they've both been so honest about their struggles. They've given all of us Section 8 kids something to shoot for. I'm so proud of them both, and for all of us that succeeded in raising children not affected by addiction and abuse. Generational success and wealth takes the right circumstances and strength from one person, supported by the community we build. ❤

I've always been a fan of him because of Brooklyn 99, but I wasn't aware of his story. It's truly inspiring in so many ways. I now have a newfound respect for him because he's honest about his fears and mistakes, learns from them, and demonstrates that you can embody masculinity without sacrificing vulnerability and kindness. 🙌 And of course, mandatory thanks to Mr. Brennan for being such a good host and bringing in so many great guests. One of my fav podcasts ever. 👏👏👏

The messed up thing is, that's how some of us were "taught" to swim. There was a famous lady in Clear Lake City, TX, who there is definitely some old video out there of, from when the local news would cover her. She threw us in the water and it was a sink or swim thing. I'm 46, and I still can remember the fear. I can swim, go in the ocean and all that stuff, but I've never been a strong swimmer. Swimming has always felt like survival rather than fun.
