HOW DID THIS GET MADE – Episode #9 – FAST 5 w/ Guest ADAM SCOTT
This movie is awesome, it makes no fucking sense, and I can’t wait to see it again.
- Why do all the women look alike?
- How many shots of of the Jesus Statue in Rio is too Much?

I had the honor of meeting NY Comedian Hari Kondabolu up in Portland at Bridgetown, but I had no idea he spoke so many languages. Also, I thought people that he talks about here didn’t exist anymore.
