#25 - Fame Friendship & Freakiness (feat. Benito Skinner aka Benny Drama)

"I take 10mg of Lexapro a day...actually, I think it's just a Skittle."

WHO: No one on the internet can figure out if comedian/impressionist Benito Skinner (@bennydrama7) and I are ex lovers, current lovers, co-parents, siblings, or just inappropriately codependent friends, and that’s exactly how we like it. Benny was the first-ever guest on Health Is Hell and returned once again to cause some trouble (while I rubbed him down with oil).

WHAT WE TALK ABOUT: our weird creative habits (like only writing shows while on planes), how he’s maintained friendships while getting famous (and the history of our own special bond), and the grueling days of shooting Gossip Girl parodies. We also, as per your request, read Daily Mail headlines in our sexiest voices.

LESSON LEARNED: Just say NO to surrounding yourself with “yes men.” Staying grounded is the key to soaring success.
