Oh my gosh.
She comes up occasionally. Back in the old days, she would pop up a lot.
That is high praise.
Very high praise.
I love Leslie Stahl. Yeah, she's great.
She's a firecracker. Okay, long time coming. Number one current obsession as an actor going on three years now probably, Walton Goggins. Walton Goggins, goggle glasses. Uncle Baby Billy's Bible bonkers. This guy's an alliteration wet dream.
Yes.
I love Walton Goggins. Yes.
I mean, he's an incredible actor, but he was also a beautiful person.
Such an interesting, colorful person. There should be a word for just best across the board actor. It's not on a single project. And it's just it's like best dramatic, best comedy, whatever. There's just best actor. And I think Walton would be the shoe in.
I agree.
Because there's nobody doing comedy better and there's nobody doing drama better. That's right. Fallout, Justified, Righteous Gemstones, Vice Principles, The Hateful Eight. Yeah. He stole the Hateful Eight, which is hard to do. That's a hell of a cast. Season three of The White Lotus. It wasn't enough he was in my favorite comedy show, Righteous Gemstone, or that he was in my favorite action show, Fallout. Now he had to join my favorite dramedy, White Lotus.
He hits all the genres.
What a dick. Also, Walton Goggins goggle glasses. Learn more at GogginsGoggles.com.

Yes, huge update.
So we were unable to do our own merch. We have to do our merch through Amazon Wondery. We have asked them if we can just do it while we're getting that sorted.
How does Walton Goggins describe his upbringing?
And we have a one-month window where we've got a bunch of really cool, well-thought-out merch. You can go to www.goggins.com. armchairexpertpod.com. Bunch of cool designs. A lot of things that were on the limited edition sweatshirts are now making their way to t-shirts.
With some additional designs and some sweats. And it's a really cool little collection.
Yes. And this is not calculated into a pressure cooker, but it will be about a month long that we're allowed to do this.
I mean, there's a chance we might be able to continue it. We don't know yet.
We don't know.
Just letting you guys know it's up.
We know we have the month. So order now. There'll be a delay because we have to make it all and ship it. So if you need it overnight, that's probably not going to happen. It's a pre-sale. It's a pre-sale. But go there and order all the stuff you want, and then it'll get to you at some time. Go to WWW. Get your merch. Get your merch. Please enjoy Walton Goggins. Cockle glasses.
He's an object's world.
Oh, hey, whoa, wait a minute. Whoa, is there a guest? Go ahead. I think we have a star of the show. I'm just a guest star.
Monty, you want to slide yours? Sure.
I put them there for you. Yes, I would.
I figured we could start in them. Oh, my. He brought you specifically blue. Honey, sit on the couch for half a second. You're not even mic'd. Can you push this product? This bitch can move product.

That will be very comfortable.
Yeah, they're comfortable. This feels like we're having an interview on a chairlift on the way up the mountain.
What insights does Walton share about his acting career?
It does. Which kind of happens. You know, you're sitting on that chairlift for minutes and minutes, and you end up talking about some stuff.
I feel like this is such a good product for you. You know how sometimes people have brands that feel like, I don't get the A to B. This is an A. Why does Tom Cruise have lawn care equipment? Exactly.
