Kumail Nanjiani (The Big Sick, Silicon Valley) joins us again on the podcast after several years to reflect on his career taking off with The Big Sick, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Welcome to Chippendales - along with the untenable anxiety that came with it.

Kumail is really open about how he has misguided priorities after The Big Sick and why he was used to associating work with stress.

We also talk about his friendship with Dave Bautista, disappointment with Eternals, and getting back into standup.
