Hey everybody, welcome to the show, this is Darren O'Lean, this is the Darren O'Lean

podcast, that's right, how's it going, what's going on, stoked you're here, we get some

time together, I know it's not live, but yet you're allowing yourself to dive in with

me with another guest, I'm stoked to bring you today, this is Josh Peck, wrote this incredible

book called Happy People Are Annoying, isn't that true? In one sense, when people are overcompensating

for the pain and then they're trying to be happy and then you realize something's weird,

and obviously true people who are happy are not really Annoying, they're just triggering

you, and the part of you that's not happy anyway, I got to sit down with Josh Peck who wrote

this book, you may know him, it's before my time, but he was on Nickelodeon, the phenomenal

Drake and Josh, and he's been incredibly talented and alongside as a childhood actor

into a leading man, talked a little bit about that, he was in the new red dawn alongside

Chris Hemsworth, was with Andy Sandberg, and take the 10, goes on and on, musicals, the

big bang theory, all kind of stuff, but man, he is one that's survived a bit of Hollywood,

and that can have a toll, it's almost anything of mass success and attention will definitely

bring you to your knees of either truth or the delusion of your ego, the ego trying

to drive us into what it thinks it wants, fame and fortune and control, that was kind

of my own tangent, but this book with Josh Peck, not to mention is an incredible, funny

and enlightening book, but my conversation with Josh was very cool and sweet and the invitation

that he creates by his authenticity and by his really straight up struggles with addiction,

being overweight, and he got a shit together, and he tells us, vulnerable, he tells us,

what is authenticity, what is truth, and how do you live that?

So kick back relax and enjoy this incredible conversation with my new friend, Josh Peck.
