Actor, artist, and long-time friend of the pod, Brett Dier, joins our host for a refreshing and honest conversation on friendship, vulnerability, and a surprising discussion about the existence of extraterrestrial life. Brett opens up about his battle with depression, managing his Tourette's and how he channels his challenges into art and comedy, drawing inspiration from the likes of Jim Carrey to use humor as a coping mechanism.

Later in the episode, Jane the Virgin fans, rejoice! Justin and Brett share behind-the-scenes stories that are as heartfelt as they are hilarious, exploring the friendships and admiration forged between takes and the resulting bond that extends beyond the screen.
