Andrew Lopez on His Mentor Jo Koy + Mark Pellington on Working with U2

Comedian and filmmaker Andrew Lopez joins Chris as they explain to Adam the importance of not wasting food in Filipino culture. Adam shares some stories of stupidity he encountered before Andrew tells the story of how he was discovered and mentored by Jo Koy who trained him in standup by having him open for him on tour.

Next, Chris reports the news including: a meteorologist resigning after receiving death threats over his climate crisis coverage and a psychologist warning that relaxing with true crime may be a red flag. Finally, Adam talks to director Mark Pellington about his new movie ‘Survive’. They discuss the fall of Quibi, Mark’s time working at MTV in the 80’s, and the cyclical nature of music culture. Mark gets into creating a posthumous music video for Michael Jackson and his experience co-directing ‘U2 3D’.
