Show Notes
Dennis visits the North Hollywood home of his friend Michael Anthony, who is the foundder of the Anonymous Initiative, a non-profit anti-bullying movement dedicated to helping all people overcome the things that bully them. Michael talks about the "It Gets Better" video he made that ultimately led to him creating the Initiative, stirring things up back to his hometown Wheeling, Illinois and how the whole experience led to him going back to school to get his Masters in Psychology. Dennis and Michael also recall their meeting on a press trip to Orange County and the show they used to host and producer together at the LA LGBT Center, The Village Variety Pack. Michael also talks about the worst job he ever had (it involves prodding people with a stick), a chilling moment with Marc Anthony, J Lo and Joan Rivers on a red carpet and a rookie mistake he made when he started working at the TV Guide channel, fresh out of college.
