Show Summary
Adam opens today’s podcast reflecting on The Man Show sketch about ending women’s suffrage. He also tells Bryan and Gina about the perils of online learning at the Carolla house, and the evolution of what it means to be a ‘cool dad’. Brad Williams then joins the show to talk about doing a drive-in comedy show, and his thoughts on dwarfs being allowed to participate in the UFC. They also discuss Brad’s birthday cocktail party, and they take a call about the novel ‘Huckleberry Finn’. Later they discuss why having projects to work on is important, why Brad may move his family out of state, and what it’s like being a comedian during the current Coronavirus climate. Up next, Jim Belushi chats with the gang about his new docuseries, working with Oliver Stone and James Woods in the film ‘Salvador’, and his time on Saturday Night Live. Other topics of conversation include how marijuana affects the brain, playing music for plants, and the legacy of his brother, John. Before the break, Jim speaks honestly about the pain of watching your family collapse, and being embraced by people like Dan Aykroyd and John Candy.
Jim Belushi hangs in for today’s news, which begins with a story about Rose McGowan accusing director Alexander Payne of sexual assault. They also talk about an upcoming remake of ‘Planes Trains and Automobiles’, White House security code names going public, and Tiger Woods caddying for his 11-year-old son. As the show wraps up, the group comments on Dr. Drew getting a legit first-class ticket, as well as a couple viral animal videos. Be sure to stick around for Good Sports with Dave Dameshek!
