On today’s episode of “Harder to Breathe'', host, founding drummer of “Maroon 5”, and licensed therapist, Ryan Dusick is joined by co-host and actor Brian “Duck” Maillard for a light-hearted conversation about the beauty of Spring, Personal Growth, and Prestige TV.
After a number of their intro conversations have been cut short in the past, Ryan and Duck have decided to take a moment to catch up with each other, one-on-one. It’s an opportunity for reflection on the recent guests of “Harder to Breathe”, and how engaging with their varied opinions has been an incredibly eye-opening experience for everyone involved.
Ryan and Duck briefly touch on addiction– something that may have been born when Ryan first encountered sugary cereals as a kid– as well as the challenge of avoiding Rage Porn in an era in which all media is designed specifically with the intention of getting you upset.
But even with all that, the conversation doesn’t stay heavy for long. In this special episode of “Harder to Breathe” we get the rare opportunity to hear Ryan and Duck’s opinion on the two hottest shows on television right now– “Severance” and “The White Lotus”. Be sure to stick around until the end to hear how these two shows may just be a lot more similar than you might think!
