Manatomy with Danny Wallace & Phil Hilton

The brilliant journalist and author Sam Delaney is also the brains behind the excellent The Reset podcast and newsletter. Why The Reset? Because Sam had to do just that.
In this episode, he talks just as frankly but always as entertainingly as he writes, about booze, drugs, addiction, anxiety, hair loss, and the trip to IKEA that went very wrong indeed.
It all sounds like A Lot, but Sam is such great company that it flies by. Our thanks to him.
Check out The Reset at https://samdelaney.substack.com/ if you feel like any of the issues raised need a friend to help you talk it through.

CHEF ANDRE RUSH: “I’ll kick yo’ ass... Then make you dessert.”

Chef Andre Rush is one-of-a-kind. Once a sickly kid, he grew into a US Army Master Sergeant with enormous biceps who does 2,222 push-ups every single day.
He also became a chef. One who would find himself a White House chef, cooking fordiplomats and no fewer than four US Presidents. On September 11th 2001, he was in the gym at the Pentagon when the attacks happened. He immediately signed up for combat duty.
On the show, he talks male pride, masculinity, Arnold Schwarzenegger, PTSD, and what President Obama really liked to snack on.

MARK WATSON: “An odd relationship with self-esteem.”

Thoughtful and erudite comic Mark Watson has put his body through a lot over the years. Whether it’s adrenaline, stress, panic or literally ending up near-starving on a desert island eating snails.
Here he talks with Danny & Phil about booze, self-criticism, fear, losing control, anxiety, confidence, doubt and so much more. It’s a great chat with a man who, like a lot of men and women, maybe needs to forgive himself more.
