Summary
From "Drake and Josh" to “How I Met Your Father," actor Josh Peck has been putting smiles on the faces of millions of people for over a decade, but there is another side to fame and success that isn’t so glamourous. Josh is on the podcast to chat with Lo about everything from body dysmorphia to cocaine addiction to becoming a father and husband.
While Josh was sure to put a smile on your face as a young actor, there was plenty going on behind the scenes of our TV screens. That’s because even though Josh seemed to laugh it all off, he was struggling with body image, addiction, and growing up with an absent father. While it hasn’t been an easy journey, he’s ready to take what he’s learned and share it with the Lo Lifers. He’s opening up to Lo about how losing weight affected his career and public opinion, what happened when he decided he was ready to meet his dad for the first time, and how he’s now navigating his own journey as a father. You’re not going to want to miss Josh’s new memoir, or any of the amazing projects he has going on! You can follow along with Josh on Instagram @shuapeck, check out his podcast Male Models, and make sure to buy his book Happy People are Annoying, out now!

| 0:16.8 | Hello, |
| 0:17.4 | Hello, |
| 0:18.6 | Welcome one and all to an all new episode of the low-life podcast. I'm your |
| 0:25.6 | flaming hot and spicy, seasonally depressed, hot mess of a host, Lorenzo von Rumpf. And I'm so happy to be here |
| 0:34.1 | with you today. There is no place I'd rather be than here with my low lifers. |
| 0:39.1 | Yeah. This is where I let it all hang out. This is where I can wave my freak flag and just be me. |
| 0:44.9 | And I'm so freaking grateful to have this podcast and have you here as a listener. Thank you for tuning in today. |
| 0:52.0 | I've been trying to focus on the good in life, on the big wins and the small ones, more so the small wins. |
| 0:58.4 | And that's why I'm having a pretty good week because I've been doing this thing where I write down little small wins throughout the week that I'm grateful for. |
| 1:05.6 | And I'm just trying to focus on those things because there's so much heavy shit going on in the world. |
| 1:12.9 | My God, it's a lot. |
| 1:19.5 | It's so much right now. But if I go from less of a macro perspective and just a micro moment for just just a few seconds every day and just celebrating, appreciating, again, small victories to give |
| 1:26.1 | yourself. It does wonders for your self-esteem and for your psyche. So my small wins this week, I'll break them down for you. First small win of the week, I found $20 in my bantelones. I was doing my laundry. I'm like, oh, God, I got to do this laundry. It's one thing to do your laundry. It's another thing to put it away. Yeah, Sometimes I'll do it. It will sit in the hamper. |
| 1:46.1 | Just finishing a task. Anyway, so I was just doing my laundry. It went into the dryer and then I'm |
| 1:50.8 | actually folding this shit to put it away once and for all. And I just checked my pocket and I found |
| 1:56.1 | a nice, crunchy, crisp right out of the dryer, $20 bill in my jeans. And I was like, oh my God, got a little guardian angel looking after me. Look at that. This guardian angel just gave me $20. That's a gallon of gas these days. That's something to be thankful for. I'm going to put it in my journal. I also had another victory, small win when I went to Chipotle. I love Chipotle. I've talked about it on this podcast. |
| 2:18.8 | I have an abusive relationship that I've been in with Chipotle for years because I always get |
| 2:24.8 | the Hershey squirts. Every time I eat it, there's a 90% chance if I have Chipotle, specifically |
| 2:29.8 | their salads. Anything involving their lettuce because I think they like do a light mist of |
| 2:34.7 | equali or something on their lettuce. Clearly, they're not going to be a sponsor after hearing this. |
| 2:40.2 | Or maybe they will because I just went to Chipotle. I wanted to try their new pollo assada, |
