About this listen

What happens when a personal physical transformation ripples into career, comedy and self-worth? This 4-minute distillation of Armchair Expert (originally 2 hours) with hosts Dax Shepard and Monica Padman and guest Kumail Nanjiani cuts to the core: how measurable progress (weights, meditation) became emotional therapy, why public praise and online cruelty are equally destabilizing, and how a changed body forces new creative choices in comedy. You’ll learn practical takeaways about mental health, managing public backlash, the craft of comedy after change, and keeping relationships honest amid transformation. Hear candid moments about viral shaming, therapy breakthroughs, and why owning your story can flip power back to you. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
