I know what you're asking yourself. You're thinking, I know the Colin McEnroe staff is amazing, but how do they manage to book two big celebrities with the same initials?
Well, you're right. They are awesome. but we did not actually hatch a plan to have guests with the initials M.B. Anyway, we already did a long interview with Michael Bolton.
At the end of last year, I had a conversation with food writer Mark Bittman, whom I've known since the earliest days of his career. We've been looking for a chance to share that interview with you.
Then we got a chance to talk to Mike Birbiglia, a comedian and teller of monologues who has been on with us twice before.
So, Mike goes first, then Mark. Apart from the initials, they don't have that much in common.
