Trapped in an elevator, alarm bells ringing—my fears were closing. I share the details of that story and I reveal my unique tactic for managing fear. It's a wild ride from pitch-dark phobias to political quips, as we glance at President Biden's and former President Trump's approval ratings through a lens of humor and lighthearted cynicism.

This week's star guest, high school pal and Hollywood stuntwoman Bridget Riley, takes us on a tour behind the scenes of her exhilarating career. From doubling for Scarlett Johansson to battling cancer with the same ferocity she brings to the ring, Bridget's story is one of resilience. Our conversation dives into the identity crises and personal triumphs she's faced, providing a raw glimpse into the life of a woman who's worn many hats, including that of the original yellow Mighty Morphin Power Ranger.

The episode winds down with heartfelt reflections on the challenges that come with retirement and shifting identities. Bridget and I reminisce about the glory days, acknowledging how time reshapes our bodies and ambitions. We share the realities of adapting to life's transitions, finding solace in new passions, and the support systems that guide us toward a redefined purpose. Join us for these candid narratives, which intertwine stunts, dance, and the pursuit of contentment beyond the adrenaline rushes of the spotlight.
