The Matlock reboot is huge! Are you watching? I've been trying to have Matlock actor Jason Ritter (also known for Parenthood, Gravity Falls, Joan of Arcadia, etc) back on Really Famous after this excellent talk from 2019 but we just haven't worked it out yet, so I thought, let's enjoy this one that we already have on the books!
You'll hear us talk about:
- Parenthood - why he loved it, which scenes made him cry (as a viewer!)
- People, perfection and the real deal
- The downside of potential
- Growing up with a very famous dad (actor Jason Ritter)
- What happened after his dad died
- Embarrassment and the Golden Rule
- Why he stopped drinking
- AA
- ADHD
- Therapy
- Fame (then vs. now)
- Our favorite TV shows
- The Bachelor
- The Carbonaro Effect
- Game of Thrones
- A few of his heroes who were guests on Really Famous:
- Joe Mantegna
- Michael Ian Black
- Michael Carbonaro

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
