Mike Birbiglia's Working It Out

73. Michael J. Fox: When Your Hero Comes on Your Podcast

This week Mike welcomes one of his all time heroes, Michael J. Fox. Not only is Michael a five time Emmy award winning actor who has starred in ‘Family Ties’ and ‘Back to The Future,’ but his foundation has raised over 1 billion dollars to help fund Parkinson’s research programs. This week Mike and Michael work out material about not getting the Hugh Jackman treatment at the airport and Michael offers profound wisdom like: “You have to accept the truth of the situation before you address it.” For a written transcript of this episode, <a href="http://birbigs.com/s/WIO_MichaelJFox_Transcript.pdf" target="_blank">click here</a>.Please consider donating to: <a href="https://www.michaeljfox.org" target="_blank">The Michael J.
