Everyone knows that VEEP star Anna Chlumsky is charming and impressive.
You might not know, however, that she is also a Star Wars super nerd, a Belgian beer connoisseur, and is extremely well-informed about digestive health.

Anna shares all this and more when she joins Anna and Sim in this week's episode.  

Listen in as both Annas and Sim talk about male vs. female gold-diggers, weird pregnancy cravings, and the importance of following one's instincts. They also play a hilarious new game: Politician or Real Housewife? 

Finally, the girls try to help a pregnant woman figure out how to handle her judgmental and competitive mom friends.

When I first heard about Patric Gagne, a diagnosed sociopath with a buzzy new memoir, I was intrigued.
If she lives without the social emotions that often hold us back — embarrassment, jealousy, and shame — does she actually have a superpower?

What can she teach us about failure, and does she fear it like the rest of us do?
After tearing through her book, I sat down to discuss these big questions, bust the tired tropes, and learn about the Zen of sociopathy.

Stephen Dubner, host of Freakonomics Radio, has done more than change the way we think about economics — I consider him a spiritual guide of our time.

But for all his success, he’s got a laundry list of careers he’s left behind, from rising-star musician to New York Times writer.
We debate the merits of expecting the worst versus hoping for the best and discuss how to trade nuance for novelty as we get older.

It’s never too late to keep learning — or, according to him, to start a podcast.

On stage and off, Sarah Silverman is always evolving, whether that’s honing her standup routines or coming to grips with missteps in her past material.

We reminisce about our mutual friend Garry Shandling, including the comedy star-studded basketball games he used to host, where I first met Sarah.

I also have the pleasure of talking to Sarah about the satisfaction of apologies and the struggle of forgiveness, and I realize, once again, that I extend much more grace to others than I do to myself.
Lucky for me, Sarah won’t stand for that.

Bear Grylls, the ardent explorer, joins Kevin via iPhone from an island somewhere off the coast of Wales.

In this story-filled episode, Kevin shares the most adventurous thing he has ever done, his recent frequent interactions with bears (the animal) and the delicacy of "haggis" vs "scrapple".

The two discuss the spirit of adventure, how one becomes a survivalist, and the importance of teaching kids how to fail. They are joined by Paul Gurney who shares why they started BecomingX and the importance of giving people the tools they need to be the best version of themselves.

Like all of us, athletes fail often.
Renowned tennis coach Brad Gilbert knows that well, and has spent decades analyzing weaknesses as a way to develop strengths. As a player, he rose to the rank of #4 in the world, then began coaching stars like Andy Roddick, Andy Murray, and, most recently, Coco Gauff.

He even trained Zendaya for the movie Challengers. I loved hearing how the man Andre Agassi called “the greatest coach of all time” gets even more out of the best players in the game.

Part 2 picks up with calls from two Unqualified listeners in need of relationship advice.

First, Anna, Sim and Paul talk to a woman whose husband is a terrible gift-giver.
Listen in as Paul enlightens her about the "Languages of Love" and the gang brainstorms about how to point him in the right direction.

Next, they call Brittany, a woman who has been involved for six months with a stand-up comedian she met on a dating app. Paul and Anna leave no stone unturned in trying to help her figure out whether she likes him enough to commit to a possible long-distance relationship and, if so, how to talk to him about their relationship...as illustrated through another hilarious role-play.

Their advice may or may not be good, but one thing is for sure: Brittany's boyfriend is going to be in a state of shock by the time he finishes listening to this episode!

This is my most personal episode so far, but it's really about the wisdom of Dr. Gabor Maté.
The author, physician, and public speaker reminds us all how we sometimes become too comfortable with self-criticism and regret.

We talk about parenting, collaboration, and addiction, and I leave the interview feeling a level of gratitude that I don’t know what to do with. Here’s that conversation.

A long time ago when I worked as a bartender at Radio City Music Hall, I caught the second half of a Bette Midler show, and it blew me away.

More than forty years later I ran into her at a restaurant in Santa Monica and said hi. I'm thrilled that she agreed to sit down and talk to me about a couple things that have gone wrong in her storied career.

Tune in to hear about workplace horrors, how being self-deprecating doesn’t make me special, and what it really means to know thyself.

All hail The Divine Miss M.

Believe it or not, Ben Stiller has failed. (Remember Zoolander 2? He’d probably rather you didn’t.)
As it turns out, Ben has had his share of flops — a man after my own heart — and we chat for a good while about those times in his life, including how they sometimes led to something better.

In my first-ever interview, he keeps me on track, answers questions I forgot to ask, and overall makes me feel like I’m actually succeeding at being a podcast host.

To be human is to fail. And not just to fail once, but to fail a lot.
But if it's something we all do so often, why are we so afraid of it?

As the author Samuel Beckett once said: “Fail again. Fail better.”

This saying means a lot to me and my family – so much so that my daughter even got a tattoo of it.
I want to fail better, dammit. So, I’m sitting down with thoughtful people every week to talk about it.

Because maybe if we fail better, we’ll feel better.
