Adam Sztykiel (Let's Have Kids / Bad Monkey / Black Adam)

It is me, Brett Goldstein, and I'm joined today by a writer, a showrunner, a Made of Honor-er, a Due Date-er, a Alvin and the Chipmunks: Road Chipper, a Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Long Hauler, a, a Rampager, a Scoob, a Black Adam, a Family Switch.

He's a showrunner, he's an executive producer, he's a creator, he's Undateable, he's Whiskey Cavalier, he's a Bad Monkey, and he's about to let us have kids.

He's also a huge part of why I am where I am today.

Please will you welcome to the show, he's one of the greats, it's Adam Sztykiel.

[clapping]

Thanks, buddy.

That was, uh, that was a lot of fun, and it's very strange to hear it all lined up like that.

[laughs] That was very thorough and a well, a, a well-earned and fascinating CV.

You've done a lot.

You've done a lot.

Yeah.

I, I, again, I'm not a, I'm not a big, uh, looker backer-

Mm-hmm

... to add, to add another one, and so it is... it's funny when someone, uh, says it all back to you.

You go, "Wow, that's...

That...

Whoever that is, they, they did, they've done all right."

[laughs] Yeah.

I bet their parents are proud.

Yeah.

I actually wanna know how it all started.

But first, let me tell the listeners, just in case they don't know, how we know each other and why you're such an integral part of my, uh, l- life.

Because you were the creator and co-showrunner of the pilot that I got cast in with Bill Lawrence, which is where me and Bill met, and we made this pilot, your pilot, called Spaced Out.

Yes.

Which was fantastic, and I was convinced, we were all convinced it was [laughs] getting made.
