Send us a text 🎉 HERE. WE. GO. Time for Episode 100 of The MarshyCast! 💯✨ I’ve spent the last month wondering what to do for the big one — a “best of”? A highlight reel? A public vote? A World Cup of Interviews? But then… something happened. The universe aligned. The perfect guest arrived. One of my all-time favourite TV characters is Ari Gold from Entourage — electric, unhinged, hilarious, a tornado in a suit. And the man who brought him to life? Jeremy Piven. One of the most versatile, endlessly watchable actors out there — a guy who makes you wonder, “Why isn’t he in everything!?” So whe...
