On this momentous episode, I chat with writer and director Eric Appel who co-wrote and directed the Critics Choice Award winning and 8x Emmy nominee WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story starring Daniel Radcliffe as "Weird Al" Yankovic. He has also directed an array of TV episodes and the comedy action thriller Die Hart starring Kevin Hart and John Travolta. After attempting to schedule this interview for many months, Eric was kind enough to give me an entire 90min of his time. I hope you will enjoy listening to our conversation as much as we enjoyed having it!

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
