About this episode
In this episode of The Commune Podcast, Jeff sits down with Reggie Watts — comedian, musician, and bandleader on The Late Late Show with James Corden — for a wide-ranging conversation on identity, improvisation, and the absurdity of modern life. Together, they explore what it means to live without a fixed sense of self, how curiosity becomes a path to creative freedom, and why mistakes often open doors rather than close them.
