Rob Burnett [The Fundamentals of Caring]

In this episode, we get the chance to talk to Rob Burnett who is hilarious and insightful. Yet another guest who we're sure you will love and ask yourself, "If these two idiots have a podcast, why doesn't Rob Burnett have one?" Rob talks about everything from how he pitched his movie to Paul Rudd to why he chose to release his movie as a Netflix original. He also tells us where you can find New York's best pizza (Connecticut, by the way) and who the most famous person in his phone is. It's a really fun episode, 99% because Rob is hilarious and 1% because we provided a medium for you to hear his hilarity. www.twitter.com/downthehallguys
