This week Tom’s holding down the Mommy Dome for a special episode with super-agent Ari Emanuel, the WME Group executive chairman and TKO CEO (UFC, WWE), who’s here to talk about his new memoir, Roll the Calls. Tom asks what separates the great agents from everybody else, and Ari gets into learning from Mike Ovitz, turning dyslexia and ADHD into a superpower, his group text with Bryan Johnson and his brother Dr. Zeke Emanuel, and whether he’s a screamer. Plus the question nobody has ever asked him: was he using his old roommate’s cock ring? From there they get into whether the movie business is really dying (Ari says it’s having its best year), AI as “the greatest average,” and Jonah Hill’s new R-rated comedy. Tom surprises Ari with the apple pancake from his favorite Chicago breakfast spot, which kicks off Tom’s Chicago climb from the “Chicago” Improv in Schaumburg to the United Center, Ari talking trash with Michael Jordan on the 18th green, and Shaq holding a water bottle like a fork. Tom and Ari also break down the stand-up boom and why ticket fees make every comic insane, whether late night is dead, how Netflix bet big on House of Cards, and why Tom was bummed when Comedy Central passed on his special and Netflix picked it up. Then Ari goes full agent: he tells Tom never to sell the podcast to Netflix. Along the way: the auction motorcycle Ari regrets, Bob Odenkirk’s Mr. Show (Bob reads the audiobook), Mark Wahlberg sticking Harvey Weinstein with a giant wine bill at Cannes, psychedelic therapy for imposter syndrome, almost signing the original Simpsons writers, and the UFC TV deal that became Ari and Dana White’s ultimate F-you.
