It’s fun listening to all the stories and history behind the careers of the guests as well as the hosts. It’s actually hysterical and interesting. I don’t hear the eating as much as I thought I would. Great job Eric and Steve! 😘😘

Two of my favorite actors chit chat with fellow actors. Eric and Steve are hilarious and quick-witted and their guests are such a good fit with them. I’m enjoying listening immensely and hope it runs for a long long time.

What initially drew me to this podcast was Steven Weber, as I’m a huge “Wings” fan. What keeps me listening is the witty, candid and genuinely fun rapport he and Eric McCormack have noshing and joshing with their esteemed guests. These two are well worth a listen because they’re real and entertaining, as well as real entertaining. Thanks, guys!

The last one reminded me of this, which I thought people would like: 'Actors, as a group, get a bad rap. Mocking them is so easy. They’re the ones who love to “hug”, who break out into song at parties, who are “over-dramatic”. They’re the ones who get made fun of for working as waiters, even though basically every actor fawned over by the public today did, at some point, serve them their coffee or their wine spritzers, or painted their walls. The expressions “Never date an actor” and “Never date an actress” are time-worn and immediately understood by all. Actors are at once “Narcissists” and “over-affectionate”, “Divas” and “pathetic”. You don’t want your child to be one, or marry one. They are revered while they're famous, but pitiable when they're not. But I would like to say that I feel grateful every single day of my life that I have had the great good fortune to be trained as an actor, to have been surrounded by actors, and to work with actors. What actors do in acting classes and training programs, for starters, is unlike anything else. In any half-decent acting class in the world, actors learn to Connect : to other people, to their material (from the most banal writing, to some of the most exquisite in the world), to their imaginations and instincts, to themselves. They are critiqued publicly and have to adjust instantaneously. They learn at every turn to think on their feet. One of the best descriptions I ever read was by the psychiatrist Brian Bates who spent a year observing at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art and then wrote The Way of the Actor. He said this is the only profession that requires one to be simultaneously completely extroverted and completely introverted. This can be an occupational hazard, make them seem phony or “too much”, as well as highly sensitive and self-protective. And they are also, often, tremendously empathic, funny, insightful and welcoming. Studying acting with good teachers is one of the greatest things anyone can do. And actors are some of the most wonderful people I have ever known. We have a strange job. We are our own instrument, we are our own tools. We are always on display. We invite a lot of projection, and we open ourselves up to the world. It can bring out our insecurities. It is at best inconsistent and at worst heartbreaking, it pits us against each other and can pit us against ourselves. It offers no cover. But actors, for the most part, aren’t looking for cover. We didn’t get into this for cover. And every actor I know who went on to another profession has brought that sense of exploration and willingness to be exposed, that creativity, with them. They bring to it an extraordinary background that no one else has, and an ability to be open, connected, present, grateful, hardworking, open to criticism, endlessly creative, vulnerable, an ability to improvise, to collaborate, to read others, to CARE. So, yeah, we get a bad rap. Much of it deserved. But Oh, how grateful I am to walk among you, to be your colleague and your friend. To all the actors and former actors in my life, thank you for being on this walk together. You are a gift. - Kathe Mazur

This is a really great podcast. Interesting conversations, great guests, get to know the actors on a different level, their passion(s) for their art. Congratulations and continued success!

Episode 3 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ fun guests and always love hearing everyone’s stories. And I gotta say the intro song is amazing 😀 love Eric and Steve. Ready for episode 4 😊😀

Love the hosts, but this still exceeded my expectations. Looking forward to hearing them all!!

What a great idea for a podcast! Can’t wait for more!

The hosts are great and I had high hopes for this podcast. I would speculate that more than 90% of people are grossed out by the sounds of other people eating. Unsubscribe.

Made cleaning my house way more enjoyable. 😂Thanks for sharing your stories! Looking forward to the next ones!

I enjoyed my morning coffee while non stop laughing to the stories… big fan of all of them and their work… look forward to more episodes!
