Show Summary
At the top of the show, the guys complain about ‘boosters’ not working. They also talk about more beaches and parks closing in Southern California, and Adam rants about everything still being locked down. Next, Adam talks with ‘Nancy Grad’ about the Tiger King. Paul Feig then joins the line, and Adam asks him about the early days of ‘Freaks and Geeks’, and his experiences working with guys like Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow. They go on to talk about Paul’s youth, the process of developing scripts for film, and their mutual friend/frequent ACS guest, Adam Ray. Later they discuss script supervisors and narcissism, and Bryan asks Paul about casting and directing Jason Statham in a comedic role. Before the break, the guys talk about ‘outrage’.
Paul Feig is still on the line for today’s news. Gina reads news stories about Tom Hanks, surplus steaks, and a new isolation bubble suit. A couple other stories involves a man fired after throwing his cat during a Zoom meeting, and a news anchor caught having an affair during a live video shoot. Later they discuss the Belgian potato crisis, and a Swedish restaurant taking social distancing to the extreme. As the show wraps up, Paul describes how to make the perfect martini. Stick around for today’s Good Sports!
