Get ready for some major childhood nostalgia because Josh Peck (Drake & Josh, How I Met Your Father) is here this week to unpack his experiences as a child star and young comedian who we all grew up watching on Nickelodeon. His new book, “Happy People Are Annoying,” is out now and Josh is detailing his most captivating, heart-warming, and hilarious stories from the body-image issues he experienced being labeled "the fat funny kid" and not having a father figure, to grocery store run ins with Adam Sandler and that time Judd Apatow reprimanded him... We also talk about the pressure put on child stars, and how to break out of the box people have put you in! Whether you grew up watching Drake & Josh or are just open to a conversation about riding the wave of life's ups and downs, this one is for you!   Buy Josh's new book, Happy People Are Annoying!   Athletic Greens: athleticgreens.com/realpod Macy's: macys.com/giftfinder Cozy Earth: get 35% off sitewide at cozyearth.com with code REALPOD   Produced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
