    A Brat Pack Star Remembers How to Have Friends

    The actor and travel writer Andrew McCarthy used to be a member of one of pop culture’s most famous friend groups: The Brat Pack. He starred in movies like Pretty in Pink and St. Elmo’s Fire and palled around with actors like Rob Lowe and Emilio Estevez. Four decades later, in middle age, he found himself nearly friendless and set out on a cross-country road trip to reunite with the buddies he missed the most. This week on DSM, he tells Anna about the awkward conversations and tender moments that led to his new book Who Needs Friends: An Unscientific Examination of Male Friendship Across America.  This episode was produced by Cameron Drews.  Get more Death, Sex & Money with Slate Plus!

    “Mom, I Pooped in a Hole” with Andrew McCarthy

    This week Brat Pack royalty, actor, director and author of the new book, “Walking with Sam, A Father, a Son, and 500 Miles Across Spain” Andrew McCarthy joins Megan, Chris & Kurt. They love their kids…BUT they truly do ruin your life in the best way. From toddler defiance to teenage indifference, the gang opens up about the warp speed circle of parenting life. One day you’re simply trying to get shoes on your kid and get them out the door and in the blink of an eye they’re using Snapchat to help you navigate through the streets of Spain and barking at you to keep up! But McCarthy is here for all of it… even the poop breaks in the wilderness, questionable hygiene, and bedtime routines that take years off your life. Plus the hosts answer their first ever listener (or should we say But-Head?) Voicemail! And remember, you can call our hotline and leave us questions, comments, or your own funny, totally anonymous “Circle Time” parenting story at 424-570-KIDS or you can email us at Ilovemykid@wondery.com.
