Topics
Adam：瑞肯面临着一个道德困境，娜塔莉提议他为innies写一本书，这引发了他是否应该为了更大的影响力而与Lumen合作的疑问。他既被这种机会所诱惑，因为这能让他的作品触及更多人，又担心这会让他成为Lumen宣传的工具。这种内心的挣扎非常有趣，展现了他作为一个角色的复杂性。 Devin：我明确地表达了对Lumen的厌恶，并警告瑞肯不要为了他们的宣传而淡化自己的作品。我认为与Lumen合作会伤害他人，并质疑瑞肯是否愿意为了名气而牺牲自己的原则。我的立场很坚定，我反对任何可能被Lumen利用的行为。 Michael：作为一个演员，我能理解瑞肯的处境。我们有时为了生计不得不做出妥协，接一些不那么理想的工作。瑞肯可能也面临着类似的压力，他需要权衡自己的道德立场和实际利益。他是否真的理解自己在innie世界的影响力，以及这种影响力对他意味着什么，这些都是值得思考的问题。

Shownotes Transcript

This week, Ben and Adam welcome Michael Chernus — who plays Ricken Hale, the visionary author of “The You You Are” — to help unpack Season 2 Episode 5. And while you might expect Ricken to host a podcast of his own, Michael reveals that Ricken is actually post-podcast, so today’s episode is a really big deal. Together, they discuss Ricken’s writing, his relationship with Devon, and the actorly impulse to be liked. Then, Ben and Adam break down the rest of the episode and the challenges of crafting this soft-reset for the MDR team.
