Actor and podcaster Michael Rosenbaum joins Adam for a hilarious and candid conversation about his time on Smallville, his journey to landing the role of Lex Luthor, and the brutal realities of Hollywood casting. He shares how 700 actors auditioned for the role before he stepped in and nailed it—despite no one believing he had a shot. Michael also talks about shaving his head for the first time, the bizarre quirks of the WB network, and his experiences working on projects like Guardians of the Galaxy 2. Plus, they dive into celebrity eccentricities, Hollywood nonsense, and the absurdity of dealing with return policies—including a baffling incident involving two right-footed shoes
Music legend Gino Vannelli joins the show to discuss his career in the music industry, from getting his first record deal with Herb Alpert at A&M Records to performing on Soul Train and working with Stevie Wonder. He shares insights into the evolution of his sound, the differences between the music industry then and now, and how streaming has changed the way artists connect with audiences. Gino and Adam also talk about the importance of live performance, musicianship, and the challenges of adapting to a rapidly changing industry
