This dude deserves at least half an hour interview. He's podcast gigs lately were a delight.

Yep. Brolin Book is Def on my Xmas list. ❤

My mom was in rehab with Brolin in the 90s in Prescott, AZ - after Goonies but before Diane Lane & No Country. She said he didn’t seem to take things seriously at the time, but was funny & friendly. My mom’s been sober for 30yrs & is a professional counselor now, but I still think it’s crazy that they were going thru rehab together!

I lived in Santa Barbara briefly as as young would-be(later) punk in the early 80s, knew RKL was a local band but moved away and never got to see them. Very cool to see Josh mention them. Their early records rip and are and pretty underrated.

Josh Brolin is ageing like the finest of wine

[stephengiese]

Let's face it he had to write a book! He was obviously a colorful fellow when he was younger. He does not need a ghost writer. He is a natural reconteur either when writing or telling😄

[KevinWilson-cclj]

The story about Mom and the silverback gorilla is excellent

[edmontonoilerfan]

love josh brolin movies, especially the Sacario one's, the guy has a great sense of humor and an open dialogue with his honesty and demeaner...good stuff, awesome stuffs/

I'd imagine somewhere in Matthew McConaughey's notes it said, 'All write, all write, all write.'

[derheadbanger]

"Do not do LSD, children! It was the gratest thing I ever did!" 🤣

[stevemurray]

One of our Greatest Actors. What a run.

[TheRichieC]

He will always be the big bro in The Goonies

[vankai]

probably the first time i've ever wanted to read a celebrities book.

[BroccoliDwarf]

I could watch Brolin tell anecdotes from his life for hours 😎

[herbie]

Man, get him on next week, and the week after, brilliant interviewee

[ScottMaytham]

The book that sells its own self! Great 😃👍

[milanb.]

He was a founding member of Rich Kids on LSD!? That is just beyond amazing!

[xochitlreyes]

His impression of Brando is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

[dbibbyma]

Wow great seeing Josh Brolin on. I am getting the book. Also, thanks Jimmy for all the laughs showing how insane things are. I did send your message to every republican I know but it didn't help. Let's see what the future holds

[robstimson]

Rambunctious, highly entertaining interview.
