Reflecting on his special bond with the legendary director, MacLachlan recalls Lynch's total devotion to the artistic process: "David was someone who created something every day. He got up and he made something... there was no material or medium that he wouldn't create with."

In this episode of GQ’s One More Question, Zach Baron sits down with comedian, actor, and podcast host Stavros Halkias as he releases his Netflix special, Uncle Stav. Halkias candidly addresses his meteoric rise, navigating the chaos of modern fame, and his unexpected transitions from being a cult-favorite podcaster to an actor in Academy Award-nominated films.
Despite his reputation for unfiltered crowd work and chaotic comedy, Halkias reveals a surprisingly disciplined dedication to his craft, admitting: "My goals, creatively, are be able to be funny with anyone, relate to anyone, make anybody laugh... and keep improving". It’s a hilarious, surprisingly earnest look at a comedian wrestling with adult responsibilities, physical burnout, and the surreal reality of making it big.

Jalen Hurts
Listen and subscribe to One More Question with Zach Baron here: swap.fm/l/gq-omq-feeddrop
Over a game of pool at Philadelphia’s Fitler Club, host Zach Baron speaks with Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts to break through his famously unyielding stoicism. What emerges is a fascinating window into a mind processing high-stakes NFL pressure, as Hurts candidly addresses roster turnover, adjusting to his sixth offensive coordinator, and the trade of star receiver A.J. Brown.
The most compelling moment arrives when Baron presses him on his mindset, prompting Hurts to reveal a far deeper connection to defeat than victory: "I think naturally I choose the losses. I think that's what makes a winner... Before you can win, you've got to learn how not to lose" . It’s a rare, unflinching look at the emotional weight of elite leadership from a player who admits that even a Super Bowl run can leave a competitor feeling empty.
