I'm Matt Bellini, founding partner of Puck News, and I'm covering the inside conversation

about money and power in Hollywood.

With my new show The Town, I'm going to take you inside Hollywood, with exclusive

insight on what people in show business are actually talking about.

Multiple times a week, I'll talk to some of the smartest people I know, journalists,

insiders, all of whom can break down the hottest topics and entertainment to tell you what's

really going on.

Listen now.

Today's episode is about our inner monologue.

We are the person we talk to most.

And that's because most people are blessed and cursed with the ability to think in words.

We replay past conversations.

We imagine future dialogues.

We pump ourselves up.

We repeat shopping lists to commit them to memory on our way to CVS, shampoo, conditioner,

Sometimes it's just a jerk.
