Join us for the watch party on YouTube LIVE AT FIVE (PT) on episode release day: https://www.youtube.com/@birdsandbeesdontfck Phil Morris is an actor best known as Jackie Chiles on Seinfeld and John Jones on Smallville who grew up in Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, where the closest thing to sex education was basic health class, a little anatomy, and figuring out the rest through growing up in Hollywood. In this episode we talk about Good Vibes Breakfast Club, the beautiful way community can create space for men to be vulnerable, and why real connection so often happens when people drop the performance and just show up as themselves. Phil shares what it was like growing up in Beverly Hills as the son of original Mission: Impossible star Greg Morris, how early exposure to fame shaped the way he sees the world, and why curiosity, humility, and authenticity matter so much more than status. We also get into marriage, intimacy, what it actually takes to stay connected over decades, and Phil's simple but powerful advice to stay attractive, stay attracted, stay interesting, and stay interested. Phil and I are getting real honest with Reddit stories.
