This mini-episode of The Questlove Show features Ahmir, Open Mike Eagle, and producer Cousin Jake reflecting on Mike’s 2025 long-form QLS conversation. Open Mike Eagle shares that he’s just finished a new album, talks about his listening habits (ranging from British bands to YouTube talk shows) and how being embedded in the industry pushes him away from rap in his leisure time. They dig into live performance philosophy—testing unreleased songs on tour, reading crowd energy without begging for participation, and the Roots’ continuous, no-song-ending show structure. The convo closes with Mike’s existing and upcoming podcasts (“What Had Happened Was,” “Past Due,” and a new, working-titled “The Album That Changed My Life”).

In this special, live-recorded conversation, Questlove sits down with bestselling author and podcast host Malcolm Gladwell at the iHeart Cafe in Cannes, France. The two old friends embark on a wide-ranging, insightful, and humorous discussion that covers everything from Malcolm’s childhood musical experiences, his theory of creativity and genius, and failing as a pathway to success. Through stories of growing up in a multicultural household, creative serendipity, and collaborative critique, Malcolm and Questlove explore how formative experiences shape both art and perspective. They also reflect on the legacy of critical thinking, the modern media landscape, and the impact of AI on truth and storytelling.

Comedian, author, and fellow podcast host Chelsea Handler joins Questlove for a candid, laugh-filled conversation about her unconventional daily routines, family stories, her love of travel, and the art of living in the moment. Chelsea opens up about finding humor in chaos, navigating relationships, embracing failure, and the importance of taking extended vacations.

Chelsea's High & Mighty Tour will run throughout early 2026.
