   Emile Hirsch:   
   	- In The Wild came out a long time ago as a book.  It's a   
   mind-blower.  Remarkably, making the movie was an inspiring and moving   
   event for him.   
   	   
   	- They were in the middle of nowhere; the first day he and Penn   
   took a snowmobile.  They wiped out and both flew off.  He turned to him   
   and said, ``That was good the way you jumped off!''  We just wiped out   
   because of your driving, you shouldn't lecture on how we fell.  That's   
   like ``good job dodging the bullet I just shot at your head.''   
   	   
   	- Penn kept tabls on Hirsch, calling him at parties and such   
   checking up on his location.  ``Where are you?  Is that people in the   
   background?  Are you drinking?''  Sean Penn busting people for   
   irresponsible behavior?  He had nicknames of Roman Bath Boy, Cabana Boy,   
   and Pool Boy.   
   	   
   	- Morgan gets excited by the Pool Boy stuff, and fought for the   
   north.   
   	   
   	- There's parts of the movie where he's supposed to be starving;   
   did the cast and crew help him in his starving for the role?  He saw   
   people at craft services looking at him and then eating faster as if   
   happy they could eat.   
   	   
   	- Penn took out a Rice Krispies Treat and opened it and ate   
   really slowly, deliberately, in front of him.   He meant to do it: he   
   hadn't eaten yet.   
   	   
   	- His family and friends, he thinks, dug the movie but there was   
   a naked scene and he thinks they were disappointed in him.   
   	   
   	- Tracy Morgan is here.   
      
      
   A J Jacobs:   
   	- He spent a year following every rule in the Bible as literally   
   as possible.  (He also has an earlier book, 'Know-It-All', not connected   
   to Ed Zotti of The Straight Dope, about his reading of the Encyclopedia   
   Britannica, every word.)   
   	   
   	- Why?  He grew up with little religion; he's Jewish in the same   
   way The Olive Garden is Italian.  He wanted to know what to tell his   
   kid, so he tried to live *everything* in the Bible for a year.   
   	   
   	- There are hundreds of obscure laws, like not wearing clothes   
   with mixed fibers (no polycotton, no rayon said Moses).  Leviticus was   
   mad about Rayon.  He had a guide come over and inspect his clothes.   
   	   
   	- You're supposed to stone adulterers.  He was able to stone   
   one.  Not to death.   
   	   
   	- And he grew a huge beard, horrifying the audience.  And he   
   dressed in a robe, with hook, and a sheep, walking through New York   
   City.  Even with the Naked Cowboy and Gene Shalit you still get looks in   
   Manhattan that way.   
   	   
   	- This elderly man came up to him and asked why he was dressed   
   so weird; he explained it, and the man said he's an adulterer, you gonna   
   stone me?  ``Yeah, that would be great, if I could stone you.''  So he   
   took some pebbles he had in his pocket for this occasion (since the   
   Bible doesn't specify sizes of stones), but the man grabbed the pebbles   
   and threw them in his face.  So he felt justified throwing one back at   
   him.   
   	   
   	- For his Esquire job he had to interview Rosario Dawson, which   
   was horrible as he can't covet, had to avert his eyes, the interview was   
   awkward.  And she's the raunchiest actress in Hollywood and told the   
   sounds her boyfriend makes in bed.  He had to say a lot of prayers that   
   night.  She was one one of about three people who said she liked his   
   beard.  Conan will have a clip-on-beard ready.   
   	   
   	- Avoiding sex on television and movies: he tried.  He joined a   
   service that takes ``dirty parts'' out of movies.  He rented one of   
   Rosario Dawson's movie, 'Alexander', and it's about seven minutes long.   
   And he thought ``Kill Bill'' would be interesting; it's all Bill, no   
   kill.   
   	   
   	- Did he go crazy when the year was over?  He did shave, and he   
   felt a bit sad about it as it'd become a member of the family.  But he's   
   kept it.  For his next project, Year of Living Weirdly.
