People are too in politics. I was called gay to love politics in college. They should come back to it. No one cared about politics. Now everyone is in it and it has made people crazy. I think it is partly to do with social media in general. I don’t really care about social media. I wouldn’t have it if I didn’t need it for my work. It simply confuses me that there are so many people who cry, like the secretary of agriculture all day. For $ 0, for no money. It is probably because they have no job because the economy cannot absorb work as before.
Likewise, podcasts must die. It should be a humiliation to admit publicly that you listen to a podcast. I listen to only one podcast: Arsenal visionAbout the “London football team”. This is what I am a total nerd. Of course, I was on a podcast for nine years with Nick Mullen and Stavros Halkias. Then Stav left. Nick said, very publicly, “we are going to do a television program.” But we didn’t know anything. It was half a halter. And then it has become real. On the podcast, I was the Neblass. The joke was: “Oh, we are going to make Adam as a public intellectual, as if he was going to be like Dick Cavett.” But it has now become a real thing. I started to improve in the interview. And I wanted to do something that felt like it was just different.
We had Sarah Jessica Parker in the show. I think her son was a fan of the podcast. I met him once. And then I met her in the street last summer, and she said: “Adam, I love your work.” I said to myself, “What? Carrie of Sex and city? “It was incredible. Sex and city is constantly fascinating for me. I think New York reflected the show more than the show reflected New York. There was a tsunami of some of the most useless people in the world by moving to New York to be the distribution of the show. It is funny to think that they then found themselves having 12 roommates from Craigslist.
When I had Anthony Weiner, I was not trying to offer him a story of return. I was just trying to understand. It was the first modern cancellation, following Twitter and DMS, it was interesting for me. That he was caught for sexing three times, then he went to prison. What is the motivation for someone like this by trying several times to be elected? I did not want to say to himself: “Ametons it to present himself to the presidency.”
As a rule, I try to make a little conversation at the start of each episode. I mentioned baseball and he got angry with me. I realized: “Oh my god, this guy supports himself on everything.” The Internet is all that is shouting. This is really not my intention with the show.
Be American “Football fan” is the most blade. I can no longer go to a bar in New York on Saturday morning with other people. Everyone is like Ted Lasso. For me, it is a lonely monk -shaped experience. I get up early for the game. Arsenal often ruins my weekend before the start. It’s a bit masochistic. Supporting Arsenal reminds me that I will die one day. I went to a bar in London to watch Arsenal Play Manchester City. I was there to make shows and I tried as hard as possible to get tickets. I hit my famous friends: “Can you try?” No luck. So my friend and I went to a pub in Islington, north of the city. My friend pointed out of these old people who continued to disappear in the toilet. It took me a while to realize what they were doing. Several 85 -year -old men, sniffing together at 4 p.m. on a Sunday. I thought: you’re going to die.
An arsenal player is sent. Everyone is furious with the referee. Instead of the way I feel by looking at Premier League football in New York, however, in this pub, I think: “These losers are the same kind of people as me.” It was so beautiful, being around these ancient men, drugs in the middle of the day.
And then, generally, John Stones equalized for Man City at the last minute. It made more beautiful than we won. A good ten -year performance, crushed at the very end. We had to concede. The simple fact of being in this ad, I thought, was one of the most special days of my whole life.
