Dax Shepard is endlessly fascinated by the messiness of being human, and he finds people who are vulnerable and honest about their struggles and shortcomings to be incredibly sexy.
Dax invites you to join him as he explores other people’s stories.
They will celebrate, above all, the challenges and setbacks that ultimately lead to growth and betterment.
What qualifies me for such an endeavor? More than a decade of sobriety, a degree in Anthropology, and four years of improv training.
Dax will attempt to discover human “truths” without any laboratory work, clinical trials or data collection.
He will be, in the great tradition of 16th-century scientists, an Armchair Expert.
Ramy Youssef (Mountainhead, Number One Happy Family USA, Ramy) is an award-winning comedian, director, and actor.
Ramy returns to the Armchair Expert to discuss how shooting Mountainhead was akin to a play, his subway take that everyone is inherently good and evil is just a virus, and why the US Constitution is dope. Ramy and Dax talk about likening his experience making TV to the national integrity crisis, who can throw a Molotov cocktail, and why the best things in life often emerge in spite of us.
Ramy explains his initial understanding that at its core Poor Things is a romcom, how to him LeBron is the personification of discipline, and why he wanted to make a cartoon about a Muslim-American family set on and after September 10, 2001.
