Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
Seth Rogen Returns Again

Part of my whole thesis in general is to try to over-deliver. I don't take any success for granted. When we made this the end and all these things, we were just like, give people more than they're expecting.

And I was like, that's part of the fun of it. They got them.
