Diego “P-I-M-Poly” Rivera Apr 03, 2024

Show notes

Oh Diego, won’t you paint me like one of your communist laborers? This week we stretch the canvas of our mind and dig into extremely famous artist/activist/revolutionary Diego Rivera’s book, "My Art, My Life: An Autobiography." We talk about his on/off relash with Frida, sketching Stalin in a cafe, controversial murals, shit talking with Picasso, and making battle plans at age 9. We also ask the ultimate question: would everyone in Bushwick be happier with a part-time factory job?

We also pose the question: where is he???

Dame Judi "Permanently 72" Dench Mar 20, 2024

Show notes

Oh, behave! Please welcome to the podcast stage Dame Judi Dench and her book "And Furthermore." Britain’s most beloved actress regaled us with tales of every single goddamn play in which she’s performed, her friendship with Harvey Weinstein, Shakespeare, wet kilts, her love of champagne, her feud on the set of "Tomorrow Never Dies," and staying loyal to British designers. Then we ponder the age-old question, "What’s harder to do: DRAMA or COMEDY"?

We discuss dating Air Force hotties, dwelling disparities, watching "Stranger Things" on DVD, if "Pick-me" girls existed in the 40s, writing a book via WhatsApp, not asking Jon Bon Jovi to sing at your wedding, and all things WWII!

PS: If you’re not hiring an Australian woman to write a book based on your Grandma’s dating life, are you really living life?
