Prepare your ears, humans. Happy, sad, confused, begins now.

Today, you all unhappy, sad, confused Martin Freeman from the office and hobbit to Sherlock and breeders.

Hey guys, I'm Josh Harrow. It's welcome to another edition of Happy, sad, confused.

Yes, you know I love my Brits. I had to have Martin Freeman back on the podcast. It's been too long.

Three years by my math since I connected with Martin. Of course, back then it was in my office in New York today.

It's over Zoom. Who knows? Maybe within a few months we'll start to get these things done in person again. I'm certainly hopeful.

I'm halfway there in my vaccination. I hope you guys are vaccinated. You're on the path towards vaccination.

I hope things are looking up where you are. I'm certainly starting to wrap my brain around what life looks like as we kind of sort of try to find our old lives again and maybe travel a little bit safely, of course, if possible.

It's baby steps. I'm not expecting to go right back to where we were over a year ago.

But any step towards quote-unquote normalcy is a positive one and I feel like we're getting there. So anyway, that's a tangent on the bigger stuff out there.

But on the more mundane silly pop culture side of things, Martin Freeman always delivers stellar work. I'm such a fan of his work.

As I said, it's so varied. It's so prolific. Whether you love him from the office, of course I do.

Whether you love him from Sherlock, of course I do. Come on, him and Benedict. Is there a better duo on the planet?

And of course, working on that giant canvas that Peter Jackson was able to create in the Hobbit films.

And now, thrilled for Martin that he is not only star but executive producer, a co-creator of his own series.

I was late to the party, but guys get it on this. It's now in its second season. The show is called Breeder. It's on FX on Hulu.

And it is really born out of Martin's own experiences being a dad. And it is a very honest and open warts and all look at what parenting is like.

The frustrations, the joys, all of it. Because you know, we see a lot of sanitized versions of what it is to be apparent.

But I think breeders seems to get at a lot more of the truth of parenting than other TV and films do.

At least that's the goal for the show. And I really enjoyed it. I hadn't seen it before. I knew Martin was going to come on.

And I binge the entire first season of Nester, the second season. So catch up on it on FX on Hulu.

And you know, Martin Freeman, it's just one of those watchable, fantastic entertainers, actors out there.
