What experiences does Jane Goodall share about her journey to Africa?
When we left for the winter holiday, I thought we would go by car first. But then we went by train, and dad drove our car there. We stayed there in the train all night. The sleeping car was really nice, except I wanted to sleep upstairs. But my sister went there, because she is older. And in the morning, when I woke up, we were together.
Freedom travels by rail. VR. On a joint journey.

Adam Carolla shows 659 featuring Jane Goodall. Because we played the entire episode before, we're just playing the interview with Jane this time. Alison Rosen and Brian Bishop joined Adam back in 2011. Well, Jane had some fun at Adam's expense.
Hello, Mr. Carolla. My name is Josh. I am from Pittsburgh. I wanted to let you know that the game that all the people play where you put your hands down and the other person flaps their hands and so on is called Hot Hands. It has a name, Hot Hands. Thank you. Leave us a message at 888-634-1744 and click the banner on adamcarolla.com or go to evoise.com slash adam for a free six-month trial. Yeah, I was asking that game where you put your hands down and no kid is going to play this game ever again because now they're all playing Angry Birds. Right. But you just set those. You had to do things for road trips. You know, now everyone's just staring at the back of the headrest and they're looking at something in high definition.
You had to look at license plates and punch each other. Out of town play. Yeah, that hot hands. And I didn't know what it was called, but no one else did either. Oh, by the way, Jane Goodall is joining us. Who? That's bizarre. Somebody said, who's on the show tonight? And I thought I was going to say Dana Gould or Harlan Williams. Like, Jane Goodall. They're like, huh? Yeah. Yeah, you're highfalutin now. Jane, are you there?
I am here.
Oh, great to speak to you. I'm a big fan. Yes. Now, by the way, the event is this Tuesday, September 27th at 8 p.m. Guests include Dave Matthews, Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron. Our own Dawson is going to be announcing the event that you'll be at. It'll be live. It'll be broadcast to 500 movie theaters across the country. Jane, could you tell us a little about the event and how it works?
Well, I mean, it's pretty amazing, really, isn't it? I mean, 500 cinemas across the country is something that hasn't happened to me before. The event is a half-hour live gathering of interesting people and surprises in a studio in Los Angeles, which is prior to showing the film Jane's Journey, which is something I'm very, very... deeply involved in, having been part of it for the past, well, three and a half years.
Yeah, well, we'll talk about that film in a second. I'd just like to know how you got started. I'm reading here that at age 26, you went to the African jungle with your mom, and you just lived amongst the wild chimpanzees. But was your mom... Was that what she did? Did she study chimpanzees and brought you along, or was she just a bad marriage?
No, it wasn't either. The point is that from a very, very, very young age, I loved animals, was interested in animals, read about animals, read about Dr. Doolittle, read the books about Tarzan of the Apes. Remember? Sure. In 77, I'm going back now to a time when TV wasn't invented.
Sure.
So books. So reading about Tarzan of the Apes, falling in love with him, frightfully jealous when he married that other stupid, wimpy Jane.
