Summary

Josh Brolin (From Under the Truck, No Country For Old Men, Dune) is an Academy Award-nominated actor. Josh joins the Armchair Expert to discuss his infiltration of Dax’s algorithm, the fact that Monica has only half-seen The Goonies, and how his hand-me-downs always yielded greater returns than his top dogs. Josh and Dax talk about Dax’s anger and forgiveness recognizing himself reading From Under the Truck, how not fighting is just another form of fighting, and the inescapability of the high octane volley. Josh explains why the smallest act of bravery makes him cry, why his memoir is really about surviving nurture to learn how to thrive in nature, and the notion that you never know what being put through the meat grinder can sculpt your life into.
