A WORD FROM OUR HOSTS

ZACH: I hope you're reading this while dealing with a hangover from LOVE! Valentine's Day was this week and it was hilarious to see how Alex and I have very different ideas around that holiday — her being very anti-Valentine's Day even while being whisked away for a romantic trip away and me being single still, but c'est la vie!

Beyond that tidbit, this week we had so many amazing guests and one that stood out the most: Lupita Nyong'o. Her brilliance is just something else and our conversation was lovely. Definitely go back and watch if you have not...and let me know what you think her cocktail of choice is!

ALEX: It's hard to choose just *one* interview as a highlight! We kicked off the week talking to the incomparable Lupita Nyong'o and covered a lot of ground — her Oscars snub for "Us," the Me Too movement, and her best selling book "Sulwe" were just a few topics. On Tuesday, I sat down with the star and inspiration behind the new show "For Life," Nicholas Pinnock and Isaac Wright Jr. — then 50 Cent, the executive producer, surprised us on set. We rounded out the week by talking to Richard Rankin and Sophie Skelton about the new season of "Outlander," whose fans are amazing!

As you're reading this, I'm probably sitting by a pool with a frozen drink in hand on a short vacation. Thanks in advance to David and Chantal for holding it down with Zach while I'm out. See y'all later this week!
