TV host, podcaster, mini mogul and wunderkind Kevin Pereira isn’t only potentially the sweetest man alive but also one of the more accomplished. He started working in tech at the age of eight (!) (not a typo) (not a child labor situation—listen to the episode and you’ll get it). He joined the G4 network as a PA and eventually rose to host of Attack of the Show. We met when I joined the cast as the relationship expert in 2006 and worked together for the next three years. Since then, he has hosted the syndicated quiz show Let’s Ask America and launched his ever-popular Pointless podcast in 2012. That pod is one element of his Supercreative production company, which has a number of other podcasts as well as some highly entertaining web shows (exhibit A: The Real Housewives of Horror). He’s currently hosting TruTv’s Hack My Life and doing about a million other things—including being a guest on this podcast! Faithful listeners will note that Pereira is a unique guest as he’s not an addict discussing his recovery but a guy (excuse me, a wunderkind) who has experimented with drinking and drugs and is open to talking about his feelings around that. In this episode, he and I discuss a bender that caused him to barely make it to New York to host a show, buying cocaine for all your party guests, how to prepare for a night of Ecstasy and our good old Attack days, among many other topics.
