Actor Josh Brolin joins Theo for a raw, wide-ranging conversation about sobriety, trauma, identity, and resilience, framed by their shared recovery journey and Brolin’s new film Whale Fall.

Theo spirals from a bad haircut into existential dread, weaving together a cursed camper trip, Macklemore’s tour cancellation over Gaza activism, and raw listener calls about poverty, grief, and sobriety—revealing how personal shame and global horror collide in the modern psyche.
