Hey, it's John Mo. We're about to dive into a wonderful episode with Andy Richter, you know,

from Conan and from Dancing with the Stars, and from Andy Richter controls the universe, and he was

in Cabin Boy. I'm a big Andy fan. I do want to let you know that this is the final week of the

annual Max Fun Drive, our last full episode of the Max Fund Drive. It's the one time of year

that we celebrate our shows and our listeners, and we have so much to give you bonus content,

thank you gifts. We exist. Depression mode exists. We do the work that we do to help the people

that we help only because people support it.

If there was no support, there would be no show.

It's easy to do.

It starts at $5 a month.

So as you listen to my talk with Andy Richter, hop on over to maximumfund.org

slash join and become part of the show.

Thanks.

Let me take you back to the fall of 2016. I'm not sure you'll want to go to 2016, but let's

thought experiment. Let's do it. So 2016, Prince has died. David Bowie has died.

There is a pretty interesting presidential election coming up, pretty

significant one. And a family medical emergency has made me think long and hard about life,

death, and purpose. Like, I'm here on earth, what am I supposed to be doing? Here we are now.

Entertain us.

What I come up with is talking about mental health with famous people to normalize conversation

about the topic.

Help people realize they're not alone, not weird, it's common.
