Wilson Cruz: Uncertainty Fatigue Oct 13, 2020

Show notes

In this intense episode of Hot Mess, Alec, Matthew and award-winning actor, Wilson Cruz, discuss “uncertainty fatigue” a pop culture name for the exhaustion and despair nearly everyone feels in these chaotic times. Starring in CBS All Access “Star Trek: Discovery,” Wilson says he feels deeply about all the horrific, global news, including the pandemic; a contentious election and the racist divide in the U.S. and elsewhere. He’s terrified that the country will take a hard-right turn and, is exhausted by all the emotions stirred up by our shared experiences.

Wilson is enthusiastic about the book, Caste: The Origins of Our Discontent, which he says puts our country’s race relations in an historical and socio-political perspective. Despite the book’s sometimes grim contents, he still feels hopeful. All three guys believe agree that most individuals are good, but they see themselves as part of an enlightened group that needs to speak out about injustice. They are dealing with their own uncertainty fatigue by finding hope and acknowledging that certainty is an illusion. Wilson says that he’s used his time to consider his life and think about changes he needs to make.

Anyone exhausted by despair of our precarious world, will find common ground and hope in this emotion-packed episode.

Ross Mathews: Grief and Loss Oct 06, 2020

Show notes

This touching, wise and unwittingly funny episode of Hot Mess, is all about losing a loved one during the Covid19 pandemic and the stages of grief. Alec and Ross commiserate over their mothers’ deaths while Matthew adds his wisdom to the conversation. They share how they’ve coped with the horrible reality that death is final and harsh, but also agree that at point accepting it and finding some value in the loss is critical to your mental wellness.

The comic misses his mother deeply. She taught her son to value himself and go after whatever he wanted. When Ross expressed interest in show business, she supported him wholeheartedly. His deep bond with her now plays out sweetly on his Instagram cooking posts, where he practices the lessons learned long ago in her kitchen.

Ross also reveals the challenges he faced when as the Intern on “The Tonight Show.” He recalls how Matthew Perry and Matt LeBlanc, then at the height of NBC’s “Friends,” were cruel to him on camera and how it eventually came full circle, explaining that ten years later, Matt found Ross and apologized for his diva behavior. He ends the anecdote by saying, “I’m still waiting to hear from Matthew Perry.”

If you’re going through any kind of grief, you will find comfort in listening to this poignant podcast, as you can learn the process of healing, through acceptance and hope, and how it can actually add something to your life.
