This week, a conversation with Ed Begley Jr. He's one of our favorite actors. You know him from shows like Six Feet Under and Arrested Development.

oftentimes sort of like maybe a log cabin or something that's very obviously ostensibly part of nature and

has these huge solar panels on them. But that's not exactly what you're working with.

No, and I've seen those wonderful kind of homes, the log cabin kind of homes and other like

George Jetson looking solar homes and there's a place for all that. But that's not what Michelle wanted.
