So Lynette saw it and Stoney saw it.
Yes, and it was... What are we talking about?
Ready Player One.
Gotcha.
My problem is I was explaining to Lynette that I don't like movies that go into the sort of hyper-reality whatever. This might not be for you.

Chapter 2: How do the hosts introduce the clips from the Adam Carolla Show?
And that's fine. I don't go, oh, fake. Oh, come on. You make it look right. It looks right. There's a realm where it starts to become sort of animated. And also you can always it's like this. When cars and motorcycles go around corners at a pace that is impossible, when they go around the corner and they just go zip, zip, zip, zip, zip, and it's like, that can't happen.
You can go fast and furious and jump one car to another building, fine. But when the cars are doing things cars can't do and it seems sort of animated, then I get bummed or whatever.
Well, you're going to want to pay attention to this review.
Yeah. It is definitely the cars and motorcycles going around city street corners and like Tokyo too quickly without any sort of repercussions. They don't adhere to the laws of physics. Right. So I was trying to kind of explain that that's not my bag, but I don't know. All I know is I was watching the commercial and it went from real life and then morphed into that world.
And when it morphs into that world... I'm usually out. But then it got pretty good, you know, pretty like 75s, like straight across the board over on Rotten Tomatoes. So not not too shabby. So anyway, we'll cover all of this in a few minutes. Natalia went and saw it. And yeah, first, let's see. Oh, I want to thank our sponsors for this. Half of the show.

Why?

I it's a I it's a it's a personal if there's if there if there's a lament that I have in life, just a personal lament slash crusade slash what have you. It's a I am going to have a conversation with you about what is going to happen that we both don't want to happen. So let's please not let this happen. And then it happens and then it happens again and then it happens for a 31st time.

Chapter 3: What personal anecdotes are shared about family and pets?
You are... Speaking of ground, guess who's grounded ground? You. No cell phone for you. Fool me once. Yeah. All right. Well, we're not going to do much about terra firma in this equation. So...
What can we control?
Hmm. I wonder if she blames the buildings for 9-11. It's a dark thought.
There's a Reddit thing for that.
I'll have to look into that. I'll have to look into that. I'll ask her. But my feeling is we can blame the ground, but I feel like the ground's going to be there. Yeah. Hopefully for a while. So let's focus on other things we can control because the ground, not so much.
That's a fixed element.
Right. So I said, yeah, but who put the socks on the ground? It's interesting that we have to get into multiple life. But then again, I do this with many adults in my life as well. So it's it's it's not bad for an 11 year old. And then she said, well, I took my socks off just momentarily sort of out in the yard with Phil to jump in the pool. And I said, yes.
And you took them off and you drop them on the ground instead of putting them up on the picnic table or wherever patio furniture up on the shelf. where Phil couldn't get it. And, and she said, that's right. And, um, then, uh, we all lamented the fact that Phil was going to be yakking this thing up somewhere around 5 AM. And we tried to, uh, and, and then would go into a seizure.
Uh, I then had the conversation, which was, uh, when we were leaving for brunch this morning, your door was wide open. Uh, I shut it. And then, um, Phil had his 5 a.m. seizure. Now, this one is funny. We took old beach towels and we spread them out on a monk all about the shag carpet where he usually yaks into. And he did successfully get the beach towel with the sock that he yacked into.

Chapter 4: What memories does Louie Anderson share about Evel Knievel?
Max Pat will find out.
I'm trying to think.
So I know that Robbie was already jumping, I think. Robbie Knievel. Robbie Knievel. So it was in the probably early 90s, 80s, late 80s, early 90s, and he would come to my show. Came a couple of times. Really great, nice, sweet guy.
Very nice to me.
And I was like, that's Evo Knievel.
Yeah.
Because, you know, when you grow up in the Midwest and you see Evel Knievel, that's a coolest thing. I just loved who he was on all levels because he was so crazy. Last jump in 77. He was the biggest... Most recognizable name on the planet for a while. And the ultimate, as I've told you guys, but it was chronicled in a movie after I used to talk about it on Loveline, which is weird.
I can't remember what movie used it. But the ultimate, when you're on a road trip and you're doing 20 questions, you do Evel Knievel because people go, is he an athlete? And you go, no, not really. Is he an actor? Yeah. And you go, no, I'm not known for it.

Activist.

Everyone in the car will know.

So, Judd, early and often for you, I mean, you I don't know if you knew what you'd be doing, but you knew you knew comedy was was was going to be in the picture. And you had the wherewithal and the chutzpah and whatever to go interview all these comedians at such a young age. Was there any other choice for you or was it always comedy? And did you know what you wanted to do within comedy?
It's so funny because I had to think about all this because I just taped one of those master class, like, you know, how you can go online and like buy a course. And I had to come up with like five hours of talking about this.
Chapter 8: What inspired Judd Apatow to pursue a career in comedy?
So I have recently thought it through. And, you know, what happened was I was 10. My grandma was great friends with a comedian named Toadie Fields. Sure. It was like a Joan Rivers type comedian. She was a big gal, right? Yeah, and hysterical. Really, genuinely, riotously funny. And so we used to go see her, and at some point she got diabetes and she had her leg amputated.
Then she went on a tour with one leg. It's the only time she's been under 200 pounds.
Exactly.
Boom. And she would come out in an electric wheelchair. I saw her at Westbury Music Fair in New York, and the place went crazy. And I think in that moment... I thought, I feel like such a weird freak. And look at this woman getting a standing ovation, being showered with love. It must have... just hit me that this was a way that you could live your life.
And also my family talked about her like she was the most special person in the world. Like, that's Molly's best friend is Dodie Fields. And I thought, oh, that's the kind of person you want to be. And then I was, you know, I was into the Marx Brothers and Abbott and Costello. And then it turned into George Carlin and Richard Pryor and Cosby.
And then Steve Martin and Saturday Night Live and National Lampoon's Animal House. And When my parents got divorced, my mom took a job as a hostess at a comedy club. And looking back, I always think, On some cosmic level or personal level, she must have done that only for me because how much can you get paid to seat people at the comedy club? That's all she did is just seat people. She sat them.
She sat them. She didn't cocktail waitress. And this is an upper middle class or lower upper class woman going through a terrible divorce. And she takes that job. And so one summer ā I watched every comedian in that club all summer long. Paul Provenza came in and Leno and I think Harry Anderson, people like that in the early 80s. And then I said, oh, I want to talk to these people.
How can I talk to these people? And my high school had a radio station. And I said, maybe I could do it. my own talk show, and I would go out with a little tape recorder and beg Seinfeld and Leno to talk to me. And before the internet and podcasts, they were all bored. No one wanted to talk to Jerry Seinfeld in 1983.
I mean, other than maybe some morning radio, they weren't doing long-form interviews about the craft. So I was able to get everyone, and then that became college. Even when I was at USC, I thought I kind of learned most of the stuff from the 50 interviews about what I wanted to do. And I started when I was 17. And when I stopped, I was 24, and I started writing for television.
