Comedian Paul Ollinger wants you to be happy, but let's not go crazy here, okay? In his new show, Reasonably Happy: the Skeptic's Guide to Achievable Contentment (FKA Crazy Money), Paul will help you find authentic fulfillment.
Judd Apatow is one of the most important figures in comedy and film today. But he just doesn’t care that much about money. This non-attachment to material goods leaves him more time to focus on what matters: writing, directing, developing talent, and getting his family together for dinner. Judd has accomplished so much in his career that, in retrospect, his success appears to have been pre-ordained. But despite his massive success in the past 20 years, he never forgets his early struggles. In this week’s encore episode from Feb ’22, I speak with the writer / director / producer behind iconic comedy films such as Anchorman, Trainwreick, This is 40, and The 40-Year-Old Virgin about:
Why Adam Sandler paid $50 more in rent than Judd when they were roommates
Why he didn’t worry too much about finances as a young comedian
How failure prepared him to handle success
Being creative during a pandemic
Buddhism and stuff
