Matthew Cole Weiss wrote and directed his first feature film at 21, rode in a limousine with Ben Affleck looking for college parties, had Freddie Prinze Jr ask him to stop texting him and played Young White Male in a Spike Lee Joint. Matt has done it all, from writing and directing movies with Amy Adams to working for entertainment news giants like TMZ and People. He's also my friend. Matt and I chop it up GOOD and talk about everything from why famous people are more interesting, why famous people will break your heart and why famous people are the ones who usually call the paparazzi.

Ep. 23 | Josh Gad

Curious is what I am, about people, places, and things. I’ve been so lucky to have met a tableau of interesting characters and people in my journey on this earth, and I constantly want to find out what makes them tick—what their human experience has been like. Be it someone who’s super famous, someone who’s going through a life transition, someone who’s got a very specific job or upbringing—if it sparks my interest I want to get in deep, and learn more about it. For the most part, this will be funny, but at other times we may get a little emotional, a little deep. Overall, we’re just going to try and find out how people get by on this earth.
