In Episode 121, Billy Donnelly once hops aboard his Alaskan cruise to tell a tale of fleeting popularity. He talks about the experience of becoming almost pseudo-celebrities with his wife on the ship as a result of some karaoke performances and game show participation, and, with that, he discusses the highs of being recognized throughout the trip by a number of others. However, he also brings up his wife calling him out on having a "need for fans" in this type of situation, which once again brings up his need for outside validation. As a result, he causes him to ponder if he's doing some things for the right reasons or to continue chasing those momentary highs. In addition, he ties it back to the book The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F*ck (which he's currently re-reading) and Mark Manson's very specific example of popularity being a bad value and the reasoning why. From that, our host inevitably runs into disappointment when things occur outside of his control. But due to his self-awareness, he is able to recognize and understand that perspective in order to minimize his hurt feelings.
