Missing Out On $5 Million

And Jonah came back and he's like, I pitched him my movie. And I was like, you did fucking what? Like, that's the one thing you're not supposed to do in LA is go up to a celebrity and pitch them a movie. Like, that's crazy. And he was like, what? What did I do wrong? What did I do wrong? And we were just like— we thought he was kidding. We thought he was fucking with us. We're like, you're fucking with us, right, Jonah? He goes, no, no, no. Why should I have not done that? I was like, no. And this isn't the first time Jonah's done something like that. Jonah's a huge fan of Judd Apatow, like huge. And Jonah found out that Judd Apatow was handing out like hot dogs in Indiana, like at Indiana University. Yeah, he was— Judd Apatow was like handing him out, maybe like for a promo for some movie. And Jonah calls me frantically like his fucking mother's been kidnapped, and, and he goes, yo, Judd Apatow right now, he's handing out hot dogs, he's in Indiana. Do you think there's any chance if I get on a flight right now with him, I could get him for 5 minutes when I get there? And I go, probably not. And he goes, you don't think if I get on a flight right now, I could talk to him for 5 minutes and pitch him an idea? It could literally fucking change my life. And I was like, first of all, Jonah, I don't think Judd Apatow has ever been further away from you than this moment of him being in Indiana. The dude lives in LA, maybe 20 minutes away from you. So I don't know why it's when he's in Indiana all of a sudden you have the urge to fly and meet him there. It made no sense. And then second of all, definitely don't go up to him in any circumstance and pitch him a fucking movie.
