Episode Details

What does it take to hike 26 miles at 14,000 feet with no signal, no Uber, and two of the funniest people alive?

We're about to find out. 

Join me as I sit down with comedy legends Bob Odenkirk and David Cross at the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival to discuss their documentary Bob and David Climb Machu Picchu — a film about friendship, mortality, and what happens when Hollywood strips away and the mountain shows you who you actually are. 

Plus:

• Why David chose Bob for this — and why Bob almost said no
• How Bob's heart attack during Better Call Saul gave the whole journey a different kind of weight
• The moment the mountain cracked them both open — and what they found on the other side

Special thanks to Greenslate, Theorem Media, and Portrait for making this panel happen! Greenslate has been a longtime partner of AOP and it never gets old talking about the ways they have revolutionized production payroll and accounting for independent film. They had 22 projects at Tribeca this year and Bob and David Climb Machu Picchu was the one we chose to spotlight, via their client Left/Right.
