This week, ADL and Curt Pochert return to the show for a look back at the 1994 comedy classic, Dumb and Dumber. We start by catching up with our guests on their history working together and their shared connection to the Milwaukee comedy scene. Moving on to the movie, we debate whether Jeff Daniels was the right choice for the role of Harry Dunne and revisit the film's most legendary moments, including the "pretty bird," the frozen tongue, and the infamous toilet scene. From there we chat about Jim Carrey's quick rise to stardom during the mid-90s and the philosophical speech that inspired ADL to "fail at something he loves" by pursuing comedy. We also touch on some of Jim Carrey’s other movies, the nostalgia of VHS collections and the challenges ADL had of viewing media while growing up in Puerto Rico. All that and much, much more! Enjoy!
