Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

Jeff Bridges

Jeff Bridges (The Old Man, The Big Lebowski, True Grit) is an Academy Award-winning actor. Jeff joins the Armchair Expert to discuss how he broke his mom’s heart as a teenager, learning how to stage fight, and why he travels with his own chair. Jeff and Dax talk about when parents show you their “feet of clay,” the secret to keeping a healthy relationship, and how near death experiences can snap you out of your identity. Jeff explains how he came to terms with death when he was sick, finding comfort in uncertainty, and all the projects he’s involved in outside of acting.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hi, I’m Dax Shepard, and I love talking to people. I am endlessly fascinated by the messiness of being human, and I find people who are vulnerable and honest about their struggles and shortcomings to be incredibly sexy. I invite you to join me as I explore other people’s stories. We 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. I will attempt to discover human “truths” without any laboratory work, clinical trials or data collection. I will be, in the great tradition of 16th-century scientists, an Armchair Expert.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
