Emma Willmann (My Crazy Ex Girlfriend) and Gianmarco have collectively failed the driving test 11 times but Emma is the only one who once tried to bribe a cop from giving her a speeding ticket by offering him unlimited period panties from the period panties company sponsoring her podcast.

On what was supposed to be the first episode of The Downside, my co-host's wife was in a room with someone who had coronavirus so he couldn't join, which felt fitting given the "theme" of this "podcast".

Today's guest and I have a lot in common, we both went to college for musical theater, we both acted in the upcoming Billy Crystal/Tiffany Haddish movie Here Today, he's performed in Broadway's Beetlejuice, School of Rock, Matilda, Big Fish, Wicked and Glory Days, and I've seen several of those shows. ALEX BRIGHTMAN is our guest and I did everything I could to find the downsides to having the life I've always dreamed of. We talked growing up in Saratoga, going to a Jesuit prep school while being Jewish, getting death threats on instagram, and how Alex ends confrontations with people who unapologetically bump into him on the street (a steely "lead with compassion.")
