Yet after several years of sort of bliss, sort of reluctant mothering on Foxx's part, the Julia Roberts meet-cute fantasy crumbled.

Is That a Podcast or Just Cheap TV?

Davidson's debut episode, featuring Machine Gun Kelly, is assembled from the rough, requisite symbols of podcasting: host and guest sunk into plush, beat-up chairs vaguely facing each other, chatting and smoking cigarettes in a space that's presented as Davidson's garage, Benjamin Moore paint tubs doubling as an ashtray stand. Good pals, their conversation is loose and circuitous; their discussion drifts from adventures while getting high, stints in rehab, and - because this is the first episode - what a podcast even is.
