I remember this ep like it was yesterday. Good Stuff. Please Adam include some of DAG’s ep in this week or upload some of DAG’s appearance on this show as bonus shows.
Noooooooo !!!
5 minutes with dag is like an entire show
I’m definitely no recording engineer but you take something like this. Get your engineer guy and he can definitely take this and work some magic on this and get something surprisingly clear.
I mean honestly.. this is a massive interview with a great Director. Its worth a few hours in protools or whatever you got.
Absolutely.
As a matter of fact, I used a very popular program called Audacity….it’s free.
I was going nuts trying to listen to this podcast with all the low volume and shitty sound quality, so I “enhanced” it with Audacity.
Any sound man that’s worth a damn should spend 10 or 15 minutes cleaning up a show before it goes on the air. That’s all it takes…just clean it up a little…even out the voices, get rid of the background noise.
not sure why adam thinks this was a good episode. just because the godfather was an interesting movie, doesnt make this bozo an interesting guest. yes he’s a big name but that doesnt make him funny. should have re-posted a bill simmons, DAG, Dana Gould, or the steel panther episode was one of the funniest ever.
We will never hear the Bill Simmons episode again (though I am curious if it is in the archives). Bill got into a lot of trouble with ESPN and is basically banned from Ace’s podcast by ESPN over that episode. Also notice Ace hasn’t been on the BS Report in a LONG time. In any event, Ace doesn’t want his friends getting into trouble, so that one is likely buried forever …
agree; i recall it being a mediocre episode at best, largely because it was characterized by the restraint/deference Adam shows with someone very famous (and usually requires that Adam go to their place). the albert brooks interview was better, but it was similarly stilted. whenever he omits the “get it on” intro, that’s the sign it’s gong this way.
These shows were better — one on one interviews , none of the radio regulars, and more famous guests.
Adam loves talking to ppl about this interview. Personally, I think its one of the worst shows he has made.
Adam was a shitty interviewer three years ago.
holly molly never seen this! Godfather and brow father
Trying to listen to this was like listening to an episode of the Ricky Gervais Podcast. You turn it way up so you can hear Karl (in this case, Francis), because he’s the one you really care about. Then your ears start to bleed when Ricky explodes maniacally in laughter – or in this case, when Adam says anything at all. Again, great sell on the archives folks.
You do good work Adam….I like how FFC discussed how he got around Brando’s obesity to make AN….
Look who made the local paper!!!

Liked this show… a very interesting man Coppola.
The show was much different back then.
Yea the sound quality was a letdown but this was still a very enjoyable interview.
This is were my love for the ACE man started ( Adam needs to do some more of these 1 on 1′s more often). How far the show has come. Congrats to Adam and his crew for the success of the show.
Dude, I listen to this shit at work every night and have been loving the old episodes but if you guys wanted to give us ACE diehards the best gift ever. . .WE NEED DAG!
Please please please can we get a DAG in here? He doesn’t take up much room and I can’ get fired for laughing too hard at my job without him.
“.WE NEED DAG!”
seconded
Unrelated, but just saw an episode of “Too late” on yout00b last night… Steve-O.
Never even heard of the show. Awesome how Ace takes everything in stride… even being tackled and dry humped by an extremely drunk guest. “Steve… Steve… we gotta finish the segment….”
Pure awesome.
Is Adam on vacation?
I met FFC on the street outside his restaurant in San Francisco. I didn’t know at the time who I was talking to until a wine delivery man clued me in. I asked Coppola for a good breakfast spot in the area and he was incredibly nice and gracious, showing me on my map where the best places were and asking about travel plans.
Very nice man and very interesting interview with Adam.
Holy crap! I thought FFC was dead! I hope I can one day reach such legendary status so as to have people not know for sure whether I am alive or not ala Andy Kaufman or Biggie Smalls.
What a genius. Some of the best films ever!
Thanks Adam
I agree … we need more 1-on-1 podcasts these days. The one with Mike Rowe a couple of years back was fascinating. The more recent one with Bill Maher was good too.
I can’t hear.
I hooked my laptop up to my stereo system with an hdmi cable and still could only hear Adam.
Carolla: “Francis; you know you should really see my movie”
Coppola: “Yeah, but I’d really like you to talk about MY movie”
Nice one ACE!!
Is that picture level behind you guys? It looks like it dipping to the left a little
Marlin Brando is very easy to work with and direct. Just hang a lot of bloody decapitated corpses around and hill work with it.
Such a nerd yet so concentrated and with so much imagination. Seems very satisfied with his life and humble. Great interview Adam. Kept it very proffesional and funny as well. Reigned in the beast there. Must be sureal to talk to such a legend who is so humble and down to earth as well.
PLEASE, those of you out there who keep requesting for DAG. Just put a bucket over your head and scream into it, occasionally interrupt your screaming, make a non-sequitur then continue screaming maniacally.
Please put a small warning at the front of the show if you are recording the sirens of fire trucks or ambulances and broadcasting them during the show. I almost had a total freak out trying to figure out where the hell the damn sirens were coming from as I rolled my rig into a very large intersection. Not funny.
