E277. Can Mushrooms Kill The Ego? - Jeff Leach

Walk-Ins Welcome with Bridget Phetasy

Comedian Jeff Leach sits down with Bridget for a talk about the entertainment industry, comedy, money and therapeutic mushrooms. They discuss the death of the ego, how the entertainment industry preys on ego, desperation, self-interest, and a desire for money, the definition of an icon, charting your own path, doing something new, not making decisions purely based on financial reasons, and how all the people who are trying to divide us are rich. The amount of control the government exerts on our lives, aliens, climate change, raising kids, accepting your lack of control, thinking about money the way rich people think about money, the rent or buy debate, and having a sense of purpose and service. Check out Jeff's new comedy special Jeff Leach Presents A Comedy Spectacular.
