Show Page

Adam opens the show to a decent intro and BB has Sonny’s “Cool” as the #TopDrop as Adam welcomes him and Gina to another episode.

Adam is immediately going on a jag about Jeff Monson and his MMA career, he brings up how he fought Fedor Emelianenko and received a call from Putin after the bout.

Adam is now marveling at what his must be like to be famous for fighting in Russia where the culture rewards you with immediate respect and even the equivalent of the President is calling you on the phone.

 

Adam and BB both agree this country is moving in that direction, hilarious sarcasm.

BB brings up Ivan Drago, riffing on Adam’s earlier “Mike Tyson giving advice to the president” comment.

Adam is telling the gang about “Pie Face” and other messy children’s gifts like home tie-dye kits.

 

Adam is saying the tie-dye kits are 14.99 and look like a much larger and more impressive gift.

“and a wife who would get near this box” – Adam on the talent he has at home and the stress of children’s gifts like this.

Adam wants an approved list of gifts for people to buy, you need a thumbprint of a parent to buy such a gift for their kid.

 

BB tells them about a homemade ornament kit that never got made and Adam brings up the white board around his house that never get mounted.

Adam says he’s secretly jealous of “sock guy” the guy who gets enormous amounts of pleasure out of his socks, Gina calls out BB and he shares he does it as he spends no time on his hair.

Gary asks Adam if he’s aware they were doing a sock poll about BB’s sock on Adam’s Instagram, he had no idea.

 

Adam says socks can’t bring him joy as they don’t get witnessed by anyone, Adam would like someone to leave socks out for him and BB says he has heart shaped boxer shorts, what heart shape patterns right?

 

Gina has a point about buying gifts for women and how easy it is to buy a lotion or some makeup, Adam has a point about buying the wrong stuff and mentions ‘Keels’ much to the delight of Gina.

BB talks about his packing for Texas and how he feels an audience member catching a glimpse of his festive socks adds to their experience, say what?

 

Tommy JohnHeavily focused on socks edition

 

Adam wonders if BB is satiating himself and missing out on a bigger accomplishment, the feeling he’s tapping into could be preventing him from achieving more, a 2nd book perhaps?

Adam says at a certain point you stop living and your kids become your focus, Adam is sharing some anecdotal information and he brings up the woman who has the bunny rabbit museum in her home and he contrasts her to Mark Cuban, does he have less of that kind of junk.

Adam isn’t sure, he could have all kinds of bizarre interests and BB brings up Drew Carey’s purported vault of lost media.

 

Gina asks Adam if he feels like he’s missing something from not enjoying Tchotchkes and getting dumb junk to move the needle, Gian brings up Sonny and Adam is now sharing the crockpot story.

Adam has a great line about Olga filling the holes in the sinking Carolla ship now that the kids need her attention less and less.

Adam is sharing the story of getting Olga to prepare Vinnie and Serena’s bone broth soup recipe while he worked on spelling words with his son, Adam wants to know why we need to even know how to spell in the modern era.

 

Adam jokes about spelling Gurls, with a u and the gang join in and then he makes a janitor joke aimed at future Sonny and his lack of options career wise.

Adam brings up The Beatles singing in German to make a point about memorization vs. actual learning, he’s now explaining how Olga couldn’t get the slow cooker to turn on.

They didn’t have the instructions and he instead looked at the unit and realized there was a spring-loaded button that required they put the pot into the frame before it would turn on.

Adam is making a larger point about learning how to think, not memorizing minutia you don’t care about.

 

What Can’t Adam Complain About?

 

Geico – Save some Do Re Mi 2017 Edition

 

1st WCACA Bill, he suggest motion detection sinks and automatic paper towel dispensers.

Adam says they’ve not fully worked these things out yet and they’re wildly ineffective, we are the Guinea Pigs.

Adam says the faucet doesn’t give you enough time, they had to know it was not enough time and then you need to walk up on it again and get it to reactivate.

 

Adam says the 3-5 Mississippi booting process is deceiving and he cites Amazon Prime on his home entertainment center not loading instantly, confusing him.

Adam is now suggesting we put the whole motion detection bathroom services on hold for a decade and has a killer riff about looking like he’s trying to massage the balls of the paper towel dispenser, or like a prostitute trying to help a John get his dick hard after too much coke while the other dude manually gets the faucet to turn on, judging you for being stupid.

 

2nd WCACA Harrison, he says Adam can’t complain about Jimmy Kimmel.

Adam says he can, he’s too committed to BBQ and explains he heard tale that Jimmy wasn’t going to be throwing his annual Super Bowl party.

Adam sent him an email to let him know he might throw a party instead where he invited Jimmy to show up as a civilian, he got a reply back asking if he has a BBQ grill, he’s that committed to the Q, man!

 

Adam is making a point about Jimmy’s level of commitment and he says Jimmy knows Adam is an idiot and probably thinks he can’t read too.

 

3rd WCACA Joe, he’s got a great ‘Delta Fu’ reference and calls Gina “Fake Alison” which BB is the only one to react to audibly.

Joe says Adam can’t complain about a festool domino joiner and he says “biscuit joiners are for pussies” before Adam tries to explain what plate and biscuit joiners are to the gang.

Adam is telling them about “face frames” on cabinetry and explains how they would “dowel” the frames, it was tough at the time before someone figured out that you could do the face frames with a “wafer” and he explains how much superior it was.

Adam is now making a point about guys like Putin and the old boys club having chauvinism about female world leaders, they all agree it’s got to be a factor.

Adam is now asking him about his citizenship and Adam riffs about Greg Louganis, hilarious “gave the whole Canadian team AIDS, google it!” line.

Adam says Jeff has been kicked in the head too many times to learn Russia at this stage of life, he says he’s tried to speak French while France and they immediately reply to him in English.

 

Adam asks Jeff about fighting in the UFC and he comments on his blindness in his left eye and heart murmur that keep him from being able to get cleared to fight.
