Trump’s Proposal to Bring Back Alcatraz + Smokey Robinson Allegations + Comedian Gary Owen + Screenwriter George Gallo

In This Episode

Adam kicks off the show with writer and director George Gallo to discuss his 2020 film The Comeback Trail, which is currently topping the charts on Paramount+. They also dive into Gallo’s all-time classic Midnight Run, the importance of studying classic cinema for aspiring filmmakers, their shared admiration for Woody Allen, and a nostalgic look back at the claymation series Davey and Goliath.

Next, comedian Gary Owen joins Adam in the studio to talk about his stand-up special No S, their recent show at the Ryman with Kid Rock, and some hilarious run-ins involving David Hasselhoff. They also touch on the strange coincidence of Gary and his opener having daughters with the same name, and the idea of maintaining “plausible deniability” by avoiding other comedians’ material. Gary shares stories about joining the Navy, and how he managed to serve while simultaneously hosting a TV show.

Later, Adam, Gary, and Jason “Mayhem” Miller tackle some of the day’s top news stories, covering everything from Catholic priests and Alcatraz to Smokey Robinson. The conversation wraps up with talk about Boba and Poke, Richard Dreyfuss’ grandfather, and the film The Rock. Get it on.
