Q and Ace

1st Caller Vincent, BB has a killer “Yeeeh!” drop of Adam, I think Alison or BB stifles a laugh.

Adam is now quizzing BB about his weight loss and BB is backing him up and embracing the metaphor.

 

Adam explains this doesn’t make him feel good, it’s like Gravity, if Colin dropped and apple and it hit the ground, it’s the law of nature.

They’re back from break.

Adam asks Robert about working for James and asks how he approached the role, he says he treated it like he was in the military.

 

Adam is now asking if James is a perfectionist and Robert spells it all out and explains the perfection that James seeks for his films, that’s why they come out so different than anyone else’s.

Adam is now trying to pinpoint what made Robert’s character great in the movie and cites Javier Bardem’s character from ‘No Country For Old men’ and cites how Robert played the role perfectly.

 

Adam is now arguing that the Shark from ‘Jaws’, the Xenomorph from ‘Alien’ and Arnold and Robert in the ‘Terminator’ movies as the scariest predators in cinema, Robert explains how they actually did a lot of “shark work” for the character, it’s strange Adam picked up on that without knowing it.

Adam brings up seeing Nick Santora at his house last night and Alison shares the anecdote she was told about the one drink he was allowed at the party.

Adam explains how Nick Santora first met Adam Carolla, Alison didn’t know this history and Adam explains how Nick finds people and creates things, the analogue of the guys in Hollywood who want to fuck everybody, the Gerard Butler’s of the world who call up and order ‘Flo’ (Stephanie Courtney) from the progressive commercials to come fuck them, Nick contacts people and creates.

Adam is now asking Robert about his character on ‘The Sopranos’ and Adam is now recalling Robert’s role and he’s breaking down the poker game scene.

 

Robert explains how he was a lightweight at the time of filming ‘The Sopranos’ as he was working on ‘All the Pretty Horses’ at the same time, he goes in depth on working with James Gandolfini and shares some cool on set anecdotes about their fight scene.

BB is now asking him about his work after Terminator 2 and asks if he didn’t work much after that, he didn’t work again until ‘Fire in the Sky’ and Adam says that was an interesting point that BB brought up and jokes about us marking out calendars as it’s so rare.

Adam is now comparing and contrasting Robert’s role in ‘T2’ vs. Steve Carell in his breakout role in ‘The 490 Year Old Virgin’ and how unfair it is that a role like Robert’s doesn’t translate.

 

Robert is telling them about his audition for ‘Fire in the Sky’ and why he did accept some cameo roles, including in ‘Wayne’s World’ and Robert is now asking Alison if she is enjoying this conversation, she insists she is.
