Rainn Wilson on God, Banana Bread, and the Dwight of It All

Mazel morons! Today we’re joined by The Office legend, actor, author, and spiritual explorer Rainn Wilson—and yes, it gets weird in the best way. We talk residual injustice (hi, Drake & Josh), redefining masculinity, 12-step spirituality, and the emotional damage caused by banana bread. Rainn opens up about the spiritual power of theater, the loneliness epidemic, and how Dwight Schrute almost didn't exist. Plus, we unpack the narcissism of both self-hate and overconfidence, why organized religion isn’t all bad, and why sound baths slap. What are ya, nuts?
