For 20 years Danny McBride has been making us laugh in films (PINEAPPLE EXPRESS, TROPIC THUNDER) and TV (EASTBOUND & DOWN), THE RIGHTEOUS GEMSTONES), and now he's an author with his new collection of short stories, THRILLING TALES OF MODERN MEN. He joins Josh to talk about it all including the shows HBO has said no to, lessons learned from YOUR HIGHNESS, and his plans for a GI JOE movie. #dannymcbride #happysadconfused
