About this episode

Bryan Callen discusses the realities of Hollywood and entertainment with Brendan Schaub, covering various topics including acting salaries and recent news.

Bryan Callen returns from Mexico after filming a brand-new TV pilot and breaks down the reality of Hollywood, why television isn't nearly as glamorous as people think, and what really happens after you shoot a pilot. Brendan Schaub and Bryan also discuss acting salaries, streaming, networking, and why success in entertainment is far different than most people imagine. The guys also react to a deadly crocodile attack in Puerto Vallarta, World Cup soccer, Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Neymar, Kylian Mbappé, viral internet stories, Bonnie Blue, bear encounters, rattlesnakes, gym horror stories, and much more.
