I was extremely moved by Jeff’s cancer story and how he remains such a positive person. This feels like one of D&M’s best.

[@sherylsmallwood-valdivia5375]

He was really close to dying. It's amazing that he made it.

[@WarriorQueenUnicorn]

Amen 🙏

[@greggoodman4335]

There was no way this interview wasn't going to be lit. Loved to see how much admiration these guys had for one another. Felt like Mero was meeting one of his personal heroes.

[@simplyoiseau]

I know! It was awesome to see how much Mero truly appreciates Jeff Bridges and how much of a fan he is of his work. Also, Jeff Bridges is such a calm, wise, and kind person. I could hear him talk for hours

[@19thHour]

Just when I thought Desus & Mero couldn't top their previous interviews, they get Jeff Bridges on and he 1. Shares a cancer story we can all relate to and 2. spontaneously harmonizes "That's (just like) your opinion, man" with Mero. This show deserves ALL the Emmy's.

[@stephenallen4625]

We should all be very grateful that Jeff Bridges is still around. Legend.

[@raineyj560]

Yes because we are losing the old G's..........

[@godjknowledge169]

Desus telling Jeff to chill when asking about his love life lmao

[@peteradorman3846]

only Jeff Bridges can make the extreme man-spreading in the wideshot feel rightly peaceful lmfao

[@techmic2854]

Lmfao I'm glad someone said it

[@peterdormon2707]

Sweet name bro

[@WarriorQueenUnicorn]

🤣

[@lewlootpack4459]

Being that tall and that comfortable is a scary thing, to others lol. Why'd you have to point it out?

[@babydog3535]

HOKA

[@wilcee238]

They interviewed Denzel Washington and Jeff Bridges?! *KING KONG AIN’T GOT S-- ON THEM* !

[@thaddeusvaliantlilbodhi1223]

Yepp they kinda the Dynamic Duo at this point. Brand cannot b stopped!!

[@Angie_Onaleta]

Bruh! The Brand got Jeff Bridges! Him, his dad (Lloyd), and his brother (Beau) are so dope, legends! Loved this interview. I remember hearing when he diagnosed with cancer and, bruh, that made me so sad. I'm so glad he's doing better.

[@sarataylor6164]

I'm my father's daughter and I'm almost 40... Daddy-Daughter days don't get old. ❤️

[@dademon9725]

Bro I could listen to Jeff Bridges talk for hours he seems like an old head with a lot of wisdom and a free spirit

[@way2awkward]

To think that Jeff is essentially making scrapbooks for everyone on set is really sweet

[@islandmanmikep]

As an old man I love receiving wisdom from old men. I hanged on to every word of this legend.

[@believeinmatter]

One of the coolest dudes ever, on the number one show on late night.

[@SneakerFetish420]

I got covid no symptoms but my girl had to stay in a hospital by herself for a week on a machine shit hits everyone different

[@vanessawhitneypro]

SUCH an amazing human being. Thank You, D&M, for this conversation with the legend, Jeff Bridges.

[@NellieKAdaba]

👍🏿

[@jeffreybridges]

Thanks so much... I really appreciate the love

[@Goatchild90]

I could listen to Jeff and D&M conversate all day

[@alfie6441]

Converse

[@WarriorQueenUnicorn]

@@alfie6441 respect the Ebonics/Urban Slang. I know I do 🙏 "Ebonics"-Big L

[@alfie6441]

@@WarriorQueenUnicorn wow even people who speak AAVE can be wrong about it 😭 I remember learning that converse and conversate are both words but mean two different things people usually use conversate in the areas where they mean converse. I usually just say talking or talk in AAVE cause it’s less hassle 😭

[@ASmallProduction]

The BRAND is indestructible. Shout out to ya'll.

[@godspeedrell]

Always loved Jeff Bridges as an actor, hearing him speak about his cancer survivor story and then his transition into the important of love… Big respect to Jeff Bridges! 🫡

[@fishnspaghetti1830]

Jeff Bridges is a real one. I really hate that people like him are getting older and will soon no longer be with us and it's just really weird to think that the next people coming up are KZbinrs and tiktok people and just boggles my mind

[@leeroyuckface6893]

Those KZbin and tiktokers are only relevant to people that are like them. Bridges, Denzel and others are iconic for actual works of art they've done...not self recorded videos of antics. True substance comes from thoughtful actions ...not pranks and random shit for views

[@mpound97]

No substance. No longevity in these "entertainers" nowadays. I say it to myself all the time.

[@troy8420]

You really think there aren't actors, writers, directors coming up right now?

[@c-light7624]

Watching this interview…I wouldn’t be surprised if someone told me that the Cohen brothers hung out with Jeff and then wrote the Big Lebowski afterwards. He is keyed into life and human nature more than most. That’s the dude right there.

[@11matt11]

Watched the first two episodes of "The Old Man". The incredible presence of Bridges the movie star. in a TV show, that feels like a beautiful long form movie. This show has started off fantastically, and I feel an Emmy coming Jeff's way. Just a fantastic show.

[@enigmah625]

This interview made me so happy man, so overjoyed to see the Dude looking and feeling better, made my morning

[@bstmmyevr]

Jeff Bridges is Legendary! ❤️

[@jarmangill5911]

The set of hair on this man 😎

[@dshepherd107]

Long day. Sitting down w/ some train wreck in my pen right now, watching My Guys talk with, “The Dude.” Every now & again, life is good. I’m so glad JB’s cancer is gone. Life is sad enough lately. Good news is always welcome. Ty, stay safe all, & ☮️

[@MikeDUDERBailey]

The OG man, I literally got my nickname from him. I'm glad to hear that made it through that hell of a couple years. I love this fucking show so much

[@bballerforever]

Jeff Bridges seems like a good dude. Man, he must love acting - his speech, reactions, and facial looks are identical to how he is in “The Old Man.”

[@AviRose16]

Woah the brand keeps raising it's own bar 👏👏 respect. Jeff Bridges is an exquisite actor.

[@terigiese1322]

SO CRAZY!!This man has been around makin magic all my life.Had a huge crush on Mr.Bridges when I was a teen!He still looks pretty good!✨🤩

[@dipperdandy]

Hell yeah. Used to watch Starman all the time as a youngin' and be mesmerized by him. (well, and Karen Allen of course)

[@Neenerella333]

Thunderbolt and Lightfoot. Them white pants. Avail yourself. Holy ....

[@Mister006]

The Illustrious Jeff Bridges, for REAL! This was a GREAT interview! Seriously!

[@plev10]

Jeff Bridges abides, man.

[@Jushandsum]

My favorite Jeff Bridges film is "Star Man"... check it out if you haven't seen it... it's so rewatchable.

[@dutchesswb]

Watch his episode of American Masters...he became a legend in my eyes when he quit his family for a minute because he just didn't dig them in his late teens/early 20s 🤣🤣🤣

[@videovoidtv]

The Legend. The Dude. A real one.

[@thaddeusvaliantlilbodhi1223]

The Sockless Flip Flops real & Fire.

[@davidrey4183]

He so vibes

[@tjkrueger2655]

Three national treasures right there

[@WarriorQueenUnicorn]

One of the best interviews I have ever witnessed thank you so much; after this past year of losing my Mom, Great Uncle, Cousin, and almost my sanity, as always you guys always bring me back to center, where the Love truly is at; Bless yous'!

[@jeffreybridges]

Thank you so much for the love...I appreciate it all And may the dead soul rest in peace

[@hansolo5330]

Jeff Bridges is the GOAT. I like Tom Hanks but Jeff Bridges is and will always be on another level.

[@scottsee5760]

His is the Dude mannnn

[@jjgasteier]

I really appreciate how attentive you guys were… I could feel the love being reciprocated by Jeff. Great interview.

[@SolLikesThis]

There is no one in this bloodclaat ting blessing us with interviews like these fucking GOATs. Carson, Colbert, Bodega Boys, in no particular order. It's painfully clear that you're really having conversions with your guests and they're about it. Jeff Bridges is as illustrious as it gets and you guys always rise to the occasion. Much love from the UK.

[@deedeehellovadame5797]

He really is, The Dude. A smiling Buddha. His drawings on his webpage and Insta are so lovely. Long life Jeff. x

[@patienceisavirtue]

THE OLD MAN is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@TheOneWhoDings]

One of the coolest celebrity out there

[@Illstrator2]

I genuinely feel better after this. Jeff is so enlightening.

[@jarrettalicante493]

I had goosebumps when he mentioned Ram Dass' "Be Here Now"

[@MmeFrankenstein]

This entire discussion is truly wholesome, so much love for Jeff Bridges.

[@TimeBreakPictures]

Jeff Bridges is the best. I hope he will still stay around for very long!!

[@fishnspaghetti1830]

From your lips to God's ears

[@Reeny125]

So glad to see the OG Jeff Bridges in better health! 💪🏾 What a great interview!

[@jeffreybridges]

Thank you. I'm greatful for the love

[@juanmreynoso]

Best guest and loving person... I was glued to see this video til the end. Jeff Bridges is the Dude and a person I admire.

[@DreamcastQ]

Lol I was just watching a 70s movie where Jeff Bridges was the young star

[@CrazyTman]

Amazing interview! I normally like to watch the show prior to the extended interview but this one was top notch! I would rank this one with Jeff bridges with Denzel and Obama one! Top 3 for sure!!

[@dancernogorsky4996]

Great interview! Jeff is such a great example of positive energy. Just reading these comments, you can see how universal and unbiased the love for him is. We should all take note…man (myself included).

[@NatoJacobs]

mero telling jeff bridges he used to sell stepped on cociane is a hall of fame moment for the brand

[@Taquito206]

I could listen to Jeff all day. Such a dope interview

[@ronineditor9920]

It's not possible for anyone to be more likeable than Jeff Bridges. It doesn't feel like he's doing some interview where he pretends to be interested in who's talking to him... he seems so genuinely interested in them.

[@Tymosofine]

I want this man to be my grandfather right now!! He exudes such a chill energy and his laugh just makes me so happy. 🥰🥰🥰

[@jeffreybridges]

Aww thanks so much for the love.. I appreciate

[@FelichiaTM]

Jeff Bridges is just awesome and so comfortable in his skin...

[@jeffreybridges]

Thanks for the love and support...I appreciate

[@mr.o3708]

I’m glad he’s still here. The dude is one of my favorite actors

[@melonmode4128]

Currently reading The Dude and The Zen Master, about halfway through already, so glad to see the Dude is still mentioning it. Really good, insightful book, would recommend.

[@mundaneamazing]

I mean, what a great dude 😊

[@bluemoondoom]

[@Ms_Farita]

Wow. This is actually my favorite Desus and Mero interview.

[@jlnolan1]

Didn't know what to expect when I clicked on this.....dope interview

[@pacotoyful]

This was such a great interview! Gawd I grew up watching Jeff Bridges and by far he seems so comfortable and, chill! I love D&M interviews but, man this was dope! #THEDUDE

[@eltonmoore5946]

Such a cool dude.. would love to hang with him .. will never forget the line “ you messing with my Zen thing man” in Tron.

[@kevinalonso3795]

Yoooo d&m were STUNNED when Jeff said he had cancer!

[@alarice921]

Such a great, chill guy. I really enjoyed his love story of how he met his wife and his view on life.

[@Digitalpuppy]

Such a dope interview! Thanks D&M for bringing Jeff into the bodega! Hung on every word he had to say! That dude is soooo zen!! You guys need to take a road trip to Montana!!
