On this episode, Bill hangs out with actor Terrence Howard for a free-wheeling chat that bounces between Hollywood and big ideas. Terrence speaks about clashing with studios over money, why Empire was both a blessing and a headache, and how an early brush with Richard Dreyfus taught him to fight for every scene. He and Bill riff on environmental junk in our food and air, and Terrence’s belief that music tuned to 432 Hz could reshape everything from space travel to human longevity. Along the way they trade Hendrix trivia, swap stories about celebrity parties and canceled careers, and agree that nailing a close-up still feels like magic.

But it's so good that you're in such a happy place because like, you know, with your woman, because, you know, that is, you know, when you don't have that, you're just always thinking about getting it. I'll just put it that way. And it's a, you know...
Yeah, it can be a lot when that's what you're always, every time you leave the house.
Yeah, but see, you have the hope right now. You could bump into someone gorgeous, but then you've got to see, do they want you for your money or do they want you for... It's so easy.
I mean, first of all, that's not even my situation. I'm super happy the way I am.
You don't dream of falling in love?
I am in love. Oh, I love that. You killed it right there. But, like, I just remember younger years. There was not a time when I left the house where it wasn't on my mind. I'm talking about my 20s, you know. Maybe the 30s sometimes if I wasn't with somebody. It's just exhausting. I'm going to the mall. Does this belt look good?

Chapter 4: What are Terrence Howard's thoughts on environmental toxins and health concerns?
An entire region switched parties. Why? Because until Kennedy, civil rights was not something the Democrats cared about. In fact, they were on the wrong side of it. After Kennedy, they were on the right side of it. That's why he got shot. Same reason why Lincoln got shot.
But do you think the Democrats are really in it? from the heart, or is it just so that they can curry the black vote?
Look, when you send troops, federal troops, to guard black people so that they can go to college, go to school... Kennedy was in it. That's what got him shot. It's like, how dare you come down to our part of the country where we're still really living in Jim Crow, post-slavery, but not certainly...
America, and you come in here with the federal troops and your brother, Bobby Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy's father, who was like really adamant about this, that changed an entire way the white electorate in those states voted. And they really haven't voted for Democrats since. That's political guts. And that's why he got shot, I think, more than anything. He also wanted to get out of Vietnam, maybe.
Lots of stuff that fought the status quo. And also remember the Bay of Pigs?
Yeah.
When he first got into office, he let the CIA have this plan to invade Cuba and take it back. And it didn't go well.
And, you know, he then fired... That's what pushed Cuba to going and incurring favor with the Russians, because they needed to have some kind of support from him at the end of the day.
Well, they were doing that before.
