Show Page

Adam opens the show and welcomes Matt Atchity back to the show, BB is giving his thumbnail review of ‘The Hateful Eight’ and Matt gives his take as well.

Adam is defending Quentin Tarantino and explains why you can’t hit pause on his movies and come back to them, you must see them in theaters without interruption.

Gina quotes Phil Rosenthal “This is a Play!” hilarious delivery, Adam tells them about a panty raid and or pillow fight his wife and daughter were engaged in.

Adam shares the “could you please be more considerate” angle he worked telling them to be quiet so he could sleep.

Adam talks about Sonny and how he gets run over by Phil, he keeps losing Stuffies to Phil who takes his pick of the litter, Adam quotes Sonny’s hilarious “No Phil, No!” and explains how the dog trotted down the hall and took Sonny’s Gatorade.

Adam says Sonny is the worst at cleaning things up, he just kinda mats things.

Adam says he likes how the dog torments the shit out of Sonny, Adam is changing topics.

 

Adam is bringing up the local News and the reports on the LAPD officers driving through the L.A. river telling people who live there to relocate above ground.

Adam is mocking the apocalypse logic of this kind of reporting and how absurd it is, especially being reported without any commentary on why people are living there to begin with.

BB is weighing in and Adam references ‘The Revenant’ and confirms to Matt he’s seen it, BB too.

 

Adam says BB is right when he agrees with Adam, it’s the part where they just blow by people living in the river, like its normal, the status quo.

Matt is chiming in nicely and Adam is sharing how most fun activities are now illegal at the Beach, he says we’re getting screwed coming and going, paying all the taxes and having no fun.

Adam wants to know if society is in a free fall or not, can people live in the river and can he smoke on the beach or not, which is it.

 

Adam is telling them about watching ‘Duece Bigalow European Gigolo’ again and brings up fans telling him about random airings of ‘The Hammer’ and this leads to him getting into ‘Collison Course’.

Adam is explaining the plot of ‘Collision Course’ to the gang, Adam guesses 1988, and he’s close.

Adam shares how the bachelor cop apartment tilts over to hoarder and not just slovenly dude living alone, Matt has some trivia about the director and his previous work on ‘The Jewel and The Nile’ and now Adam mocks the lame plot contrivances of the era.

Adam quotes Pat Morita calling a black guy “a little monkey” and BB references ’48 Hours’ and Adam says he called up Leno, a Basic Cable Commentary Track!?

They guess the audience score on ‘Collison Course.’ Matt is adamant they don’t have an actual score for this film.

 

Q and Ace

1st Caller Rob, he wants to know about Adam using “Douche Nozzle” and he doesn’t take credit for inventing but perhaps bringing it back to popularity.

Adam is riffing about his various ‘Urban Dictionary’ entries credited to him.

Rob is telling them about seeing them live in Chicago a few months back, he wants to know what the hobo guy said to them on stage mid-show, Adam says doesn’t know and BB has a killer “key to the city” one liner.

Adam says it’s like when a woman tells you her cat thinks she’s a person is akin to how he reacts to guys who charge the stage, Gary is now reading some info from ‘Rotten Tomatoes’ and brings up the misspelling along with reading the insult aimed at Adam.

 

Adam says you are hurting your own cause, touching the celebrity element to crediting people with the service, he’s unsure of the way the users submit these entries, they are moderated and vetted.

Gina is wise and explains things might not stay up like Wikipedia, BB predicts the dick who wrote it hoped Adam would stumble across it.

Adam asks what if they called him an “Uppity Nigger” wouldn’t they have to edit that, hilarious reactions across the board!

Holy shit that was great!

 

Adam is back to the standards required for this service and entries.

3rd Caller Max, he’s calling about their new senator in Tempe, he’s asking for Adam’s take on this woman having power and some kooky beliefs.

Adam mocks the notion of mandatory church or a new world order, the internet has ruined all of this stuff and there is no going back.

Adam talks about the anecdotal examples people have, but there is no measurable scale for any actual effect from this kind of fear mongering of things that never happen and never will.

 

Adam is talking about walking with his family on the roof, they even brought the dog up there and his son walked over to the Chimney and asked about Santa and he explains why he likes Christmas despite not being religious or even believing in a god, just go with it.
