Allison looks so much like my sister. We’re Mexican American though.
your mexi sister sounds hot. Adam’s new haircut in the picture is amusing. He looks like a really light skinned black man from the early 90′s.
LOL you’re right!
Yo yo yo, from yo mowf to god’s ears, dog! Yo can I say this? I am so mothafuckin’ TIRED of these jive-ass tickets the chickenshit Po-Po be just THROWIN’ at a brotha! For real though! And my pops, he didn’t care. Jive ass mofo. And my moms, we was poor, so I was good at football. Shit I was the next Dick Butkus, only black. They called me “Dick Black-kus”, racist ass crackas. Broke my shoulder.
Then I swung a hammer for The Man but screw that. Then I got into the boxing game. I was aiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Then I met Sinbad, he put me on the radio, and the rest is history, G. Asallaam meleikum, my brother.
indeed, sinbad-esque
LOL! I was thinking the same thing. A rapper from the early 90?s. Kid n’ Play or 3rd Bass (who were white btw) MC Ace in the house!
alison is a true beauty. i get the impression she’s aiming low in her current romance. she utters the phrase “my boyfriend” in a sort of conditional, unenthused way.
Love this show and this ep
Hey everybody, I started a petition to get rid of leaf blowers. Feel free to sign it.
Here is the link: http://www.change.org/petitions/environmental-protection-agency-outlaw-leaf-blowers
Thanks everybody.
LEAFS GET BLOWN N I DONT
FUCK YOU! I’m a landscaper and it’s one of the most important tools we use. Pick another fucking cause douchebag!
It’s called a rake asshole, use it!
You’ll shut your mouth (and fingertips) if you know what’s good for you. Ban leaf blowers? Easy for you to say but some of us rely on one to make a living. I’ll meet you half way and stop using mine to get around on my rollerblades.
Maybe it is silly but I look forward to the ace awards. They sum up the year of listening well, and usually make me dig through my archive of this show.
Glad for the annual Ace Awards podcast! It’s about time Adam had a platform to get his ideas through the din of his guest’s non-stop yammering!
Keep on repeating those stories and stepping on your guest (and news girl)’s toes, Ace! Can’t wait for a super-repetitive 2012!
P.S. Have you ever met Jimmy Kimmel? If so, can we hear the story of how you met?!?
Is this how you’re day is starting out? I’m sorry, I hope it gets better.
hey, dont be a dick..
I love it, Humility! The comedy factory has been bulldozed and a shiny, new warehouse has been built in its place.
Sounds as though someone could use a dose of their namesake. You’re welcome for the free daily entertainment. You’re welcome for having to give nothing in return. You’re welcome for having the opportunity to express your opinions, no matter how childish, pointless, narcissistic and obnoxious they might be.
Go get aids you waste of a human life. You and your misguided attempts at logic are pure garbage.
Great example of an ad hominem argument oh grand king of logic. Or do you not know what ad hominem means?
WAAAAAA!!! someone change my shitty diaper and get me a bottle before I start crying again
Go somewhere else, Humility. This is obviously not the place for you.
Humility…dont listen asshole. Go somewhere else. Dont come to adamcarolla.com to talk shit….fukn loser.
humility? OMg, poor those around you.
Must be tough being forced to listen to a Podcast when there are obviously no alternatives in the univers.
Humility, this is a fluff board if you have not noticed. They love to fluff ! Some for free, some for minimum wage, others because they enjoy the taste. Fluff n Fold! Have a fluffing new year! Fluff Off!
Dude! You’re so cool!
He mentioned training Jimmy for his kRock fight w/ mike the maintenance man in great detail in the last 2 – 3 weeks, I think. If not check out his Aisha Tyler pod on her site.
That’s good pod!
Can’t believe that “Silence of the Lambs” guy didn’t win caller of the year, guy got robbed.
I’ll be back again in 2012, getting it on. *sniff*
I agree completely, that shit had me crying!
What episode was that
@Sig if thats true and shes as funny as alison can i have her number? love me some alison.
Damn Alison looks good!
Great show as always,i was suprized,garfunkle and oats were not in the running for best song.
Now that’s good pod
Adam mentioned near the end of the show there will be new shows being added to the ACE Broadcasting lineup…would it be too much to hope for a return of the Daves?
Adam haircut makes him look like the white Cuba Gooding Jr.
I demand ALL the drops be posted for us to download, ringtone, etc.
Yer a dick.
This episode was fantastic. I was laughing really fucking hard.
How the hell was Alec the best caller? Dumbest thing I’ve ever heard.
That call from Bat made me lose it. I haven’t heard something that funny from this show since at least yesterday when Norm was on. That Bat lost to Alec Baldwin is a travesty, Ace. I hope you make this right.
Also, where can I find this call either in podcast form or on YouTube? I want to put it on loop and slowly go insane.
Great great show. Do yourself a favor and listen to it.
Adam’s version of a sad strip club deejay talking over a somber version of “Cherry Pie” just might be the funniest bit ever on the podcast.
Thanks to the crew for putting this together and making me laugh.
Great show, great year!
Forgive me if it’s been explained…but what happened to Donny??
As a small gesture could you guys muster up the courage to put the Taboo 2 theme song up for download? Im thinking ringtone!
Why does Ace need new brake pads on the free Lexus that’s only a few months old???
What happened to Donny?
Alison looks absolutely beautiful in this picture, couldn’t have gotten a better Christmas present than that.
Pete Brock is in the new Hot Rod magazine where they are celebrating the 50 year anniversary of the Cobra. Once again Merry Christmas to all at ABN and the “message surf boarders”.
Just watched “Best in Show” again, I’d be honoured if Larry Miller banged my wife.
Thank you allison for giving your take on Adam’s impression of you. Mine eyes has been opened.
Man, do I love this podcast. Great year Bryan. It’d be great to get the BB app for Android someday. Wishing you good health in 2012 and beyond. Alison, you’re outstanding as a newsgirl/sidekick and so many of the funniest moments this year involved you. And of course, great job Adam for bringing it everyday to my phone without fail. Long live the podcast, the free-flowing format, the comedy, the spontaneity, and the insightful talk. GET IT ON!
congrats on another year ace & crew! as always, haters can go to hell. merry xmas
Great show to end out the year. Merry Christmas to you all and your families, Have a safe and Happy Buzzed New Year.
download link isnt a link…
God damn it. Why doesn’t someone post the original Rich Banks Cherry Pie so we can download that shit.
Yes, I also want that Cherry Pie version for download!!! Put it in the app, put it on iTunes… Or set up a little paypal donation thing. Or be nice and give it away. Come on!
Yay, the Ace Awards! I couldn’t remember whether or not they did this last year and it’s always been one of my favorites. The ones from the old radio show were the shit.
WTF? the download leenk is not working?
Where has Donny gone? Did Ace can him? I miss the humor of his incompetence. Bitching about Mike August doesn’t fill the void.
I’m sure there was some 47-year-old dude in 1981 (when music was good) saying, “When did this become the soundtrack to our lives?”
Really funny show. thank you very much.
you sir/madam, are a douche
I LOLed at Larry’s Peter O’Toole cashier impression.
What a great way to close out the year… this show was full of laughs. I forgot about half of the stuff they brought back. Good job ACE and staff for putting this together.
See you in 2012!!
Baldwin won caller of the year??? Suck ups!!
The basement dude was ROBBED!
Here is the link to download it.

Loves this episode, love he show. Been following for years. But I must say this: Adam, when it comes to Occupy Wall Street you absolutely have no fucking idea what your talking about. That whole rant was totally misinformed. Clearly the opinion of someone who’s only exposure to the movement is the mainstream media. Talk to someone who knows about OWS and you’ll realize how wrong you’ve been.
I know something about the OWS movement. You fuckers almost put some of my buddies out of business with your adult temper tantrums driving away business.
Fuck you.
the mr. jenkins/rolls royce example is more lame than the lamest politician could come up with
Well I was just putting the finishing touches on a post regarding the glaring absence of Steel Panther this year but you guys have outdone yourselves. Norm and the ACE Awards have reminded me of the reason for the season. In return I’d like to put a little something under your tree, some suggestions for potential future segments. Not that its needed but just in case. How about “Fine Livin’ with Bald Bryan”, or “Matt Fondiler’s College Coach’s Round-up”, or maybe even “Interesting Pronunciations with Alison Rosen”. Happy Holidays.
LOL! I was thinking the same thing. A rapper from the early 90′s. Kid n’ Play or 3rd Bass (who were white btw) MC Ace in the house!
Great show today, crew. It was gold, baby. GOLD.
Loving the show, guys. Thanks for another great year!
I was hoping that the Adam/DAG simulated trash-talking would win for Best Fight. That was an uproariously funny exchange. DAG/Dr. Bruce was my favorite segment all year… DAG, like Adam, is always comedic gold.
Does anyone remember what episode/what was the context of the ‘let’s drink beer and rape’ drop?
“let’s drink beer and rape” is my personal all-time favorite Ace moment. it’s funny on it’s own, and brilliant parody of the most simplistic anti-Carolla faction.
but what’s it from????
Donny?
I had to pull over I was laughing/crying so hard over bat and the lotion in the basket clip. Thanks for another great show.
“Semen-producing flap steak” is a good term for A’s V.
BAT WAS ROBBED! Bloated Alec Baldwin? Gimme a fuckin’ break! MORE BAT!!!
Is Bat Dag?
fuck ows. and where the hell is donny? another great ace awards. thanks and merry x mas ace and crew
think the drink beer and rape was the Ira Glass pod maybe
Frank Stallone gets snubbed???
Frank Stallone is great but was he on the show this year? I am sure he was but remember him a ton last year.
Brent should have gotten best caller! I’ve never laughed harder at a caller cracking a joke (as a matter of fact I don’t believe I’ve ever even laughed at a caller’s joke at all). “DAG, how’s your film career?”
This is one of the greatest episodes in the history of podcasting. Seriously. I Would like few things more than if you could post a detailed show notes that would make it easy to go back and listen to all of the nominees’ full episodes. Especially the Adam Go Daddy bit.
Alec Baldwin won called of the year? Why? Because he laughed at Adams jokes? This is ridiculous. Who decides who wins? A retarded monkey with no sense of humor? Alec was the least funny and least memorable caller nominated. Basement-Guy should have won in a landslide.. the “DAG, how’s your film career?” is a distant second.
Best impersonation: the guy that was imitating Peter Criss and Paul Stanley…. I still laugh when I think about Peter Criss deciding to be a pussy cat…..
honestly. is there nowhere to download the somber ‘cherry pie’? this is a travesty.
You will be able to get this from adamcarolla.com in the weeks to come and we will announce on the show as soon as they’re live. Thanks for your interest.
