Today I sit down with a dream guest Mr Judd Apatow.

I have been trying to get Judd on the show for years and a few months ago he emailed me and said lets do it.

This man has been in comedy almost his entire life and has been absolutely killing it in all departments Directing, Writing, Producing and Stand Up.

Judds body of work is beyond next level Freaks and Geeks, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Train Wreck, Girls, Crashing, Love the list goes on and on. 

Judd has also helped so many comedians in the business  including myself letting me be crazy on an episode of Love.

I really enjoyed talking to Judd and I know you guys are going to dig it.

Today on episode 622 we have a fantastic comedian on the show Macey Isaacs.

I first saw Macey doing stand up at The Comedy Store in the Belly Room around 3 years ago and thought she had some great jokes and great delivery. Macey has some very dry human that  reminded me of Bob Newhart and Steven Wright who we both love.

Today we sit down today and talk about how she got into Stand Up from moving to LA from Austin, To being an Intern for comedy manager Barry Katz to taking courses at Groundlings. Macey has a great story and I think you guys are gonna dig it.

Today on episode 617 of Let There Be Talk my guest is Tom Vitale, author of "In The Weeds - Around The World and Behind The Scenes with Anthony Bourdain.

In the nearly two years since Anthony Bourdain's death, no one else has come close to filling the void he left. His passion for and genuine curiosity about the people and cultures he visited made the world feel smaller and more connected. Despite his affable, confident, and trademark snarky TV persona, the real Tony was intensely private, deeply conflicted about his fame, and an enigma even to those close to him. Tony’s devoted crew knew him best, and no one else had a front-row seat for as long as his director and producer, Tom Vitale.

Over the course of more than a decade traveling together, Tony became a boss, a friend, a hero and, sometimes, a tormentor.In the Weeds takes readers behind the scenes to reveal not just the insanity that went into filming in some of the most far-flung and volatile parts of the world, but what Tony was like unedited and off-camera. From the outside, the job looked like an all-expenses-paid adventure to places like Borneo, Vietnam, Iran, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Libya. What happened off-camera was far more interesting than what made it to air. The more things went wrong, the better it was for the show. Fortunately, everything fell apart constantly.

Tune in and hear these amazing stories and make sure you buy this incredible book.
