This week's go-to is kind of special.

So we're sharing a new episode of a series that we ran in May called About Your Mother.

It's co-hosted by Christy Turlington Burns, the founder and president of a nonprofit that I have been

bold over by this year, called Every Mother Counts. You may have listened to our other

About Your Mother episodes. We aired leading into Mother's Day with Bono, Jennifer Garner,

Amy Schumer, Cindy Crawford, Spike Lee. We loved making these episodes,

and we'll put the links to each of them in the show notes in case you want to binge.

So the whole idea for About Your Mother started because Christy and I went to Tanzania together

in February and visited hospitals and listened to lectures by OBGYNs on how to improve the

conditions for pregnancies, labor and delivery, and postpartum so that more women can survive

childbirth around the world. And the idea was that maybe we could round up some celebrities

you've all heard of and see if we could get them to talk really candidly about their mothers. Today's conversation is with Christy's husband, who is author,

actor, filmmaker, Edward Burns. You know him from Brothers McMullen. If you watch that movie

with someone, maybe you should forward this episode to them right now.

He wrote and directed and starred, and it was this huge announcement of talent to the world.

He's also been in countless other films. She's the one saving Private Ryan and the holiday.

He writes and directs nonstop from what I can tell. And he has written a new book out this week.

It's called A Kid from Marlborough Road.

It's a coming-of-age story based on many elements from his own life. And it seemed like the perfect starting point for a discussion about his mom, Molly.

Eddie Burns, tell me about Molly.

Give me three adjectives for Molly.

And I should have them, like, ready
