Summary

Phil and David enjoy a very fun and very green conversation with their funny and inspiring friend Ed Begley Jr., the great actor and environmentalist held live at the Environmental Media Association's 2023 EMA Impact Summit at The Pendry Hotel in West Hollywood. They discuss Begley's impressive and enduring career in Hollywood and how he has become the most beloved environmentalist in show business, then take questions from an audience that included other well known EMA board members Wendie Mallick, Francis Fisher and Lance Bass, as well as Ed's wife Rachelle and daughter Hayden. With great stories about Ed's Oscar-winning father Ed Begley Sr., his "St. Elsewhere" co-star Denzel Washington, Jack Nicholson, Christopher Guest and many more. All this and perhaps some breaking Spinal Tap news. Walk, run or ride your bicycle to listen to this entertaining yet educational episode about this beloved character who on "The Simpsons" joked about driving a go-cart powered by his own "sense of self-satisfaction."
