Adam talks about ‘Cobra’ in response to Gina and he brings up the song ‘Glory Glory Halleluiah… loaded 44’ parody song, akin to the ‘Jingle Bells, Batman Smells’ and Dawson chimes in and shares the “hang a principal” variant of the Glory Glory parody.

Adam sets up a video that Rob sent to Gary, Gina brings up ‘Ms. Suzie’ and they’re riffing about the steamboat and the use of hell, BB brings up the parody of Camp Grenada and Adam says his age predates crack.

 

Dawson has another variant of the song and Adam says he loves that these songs are stuck in everyone’s head and BB mentions ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ and Gina corrects him about the use of Quaaludes in the film.

Adam permits BB to use one of his 3 “Yeah But Still” retorts for 2017 and he does.

Adam is now back to the movie ‘Cobra’ and he talks about the scene where Stallone provokes a lot of Cholos and he mocks the quiet racism of ethnic minorities hanging out and doing nothing in these bad action movies of the 1980’s.

 

Adam is dropping “holmes” over and over again, hilarious inflection and impression.

Adam is talking about the way the guy tore his shirt open, Adam saw the lavalier mic taped to the actor after he shredded his shirt.

Gina jokes with Adam about Phil Rosenthal presenting this movie for his movie night, BB has an impression as if we’ve all been to Phil’s house, indicating he has…

 

Adam is now having Gary start the video of them firing up Paul Newman’s racecar that they’ve been restoring for years, Adam says there is nothing like taking a mess and painstakingly reassembling it, the reward and greatest gift he could give his kids is the experience and knowledge of doing something that takes effort and vision.

Gina asks about Adam learning to look at the long game and he talks about the huge undertaking of fixing that car and how his mom’s wiring would prevent such and undertaking, he says you can only do something like this if you’ve done a smaller version of it before.

 

Adam says writing a book or fixing a bathroom is small potatoes to him now, the beginning middle and end of events only lead to you becoming more experienced and faster with the next project.

Adam talks about the passage of time and BB shares when his book came out, Gary corrects BB on his own book release date but that was the paperback a year later.

 

Blue ApronAdam defies anyone to tell him they were anything less than satisfied, he backhands Olga his kid’s nanny edition

 

BB shares the story of his daughter vomiting in his mouth, Adam jokes about BB using his tongue with his daughter, holy shit!

Adam and Gina have some fun with the anecdote and they move on.

 

What Can’t Adam Complain About

1st WCACA Jim, he brings up Dr. Pepper and Adam says he loves it. Jim wants Adam to complain about his purchase of a brand new 2017 Jaguar F-PACE.

Adam is now going over the bizarre part of getting financing approved, Adam jokes about the three references they need on file for him to complete the purchase.

Adam says he’s 52 and millionaire and he said the 3 people he would share would be unable to float the cash should Adam default.

 

Adam had Matt get three references, he told him not to bug Nate, he wanted the three biggest financial losers.

Adam is now ranting about the dance of the tards when you realize there is no good credit, only bad credit counts.

Adam is now going over his request for the family to go out to dinner, everyone was fresh from the Cheesecake Factory, they went without him and were overloaded on food.

Gina jokes about the food they brought home for Adam, bad pepperoni pizza that the kids didn’t eat and nobody wanted to come see the new car, the first-generation Jaguar SUV.

Adam asks if they could image a world where nobody would care, Adam says Lynette and the kids forgot, nothing registers anymore, nothing moves the needle for anyone.

 

Gina and BB share their normal family reactions to new cars, Adam says he likes the car and gets permission from Jim to move on, that was sufficient complaining.

 

2nd Caller Bob, he wants to know if Adam could complain about Jimmy Kimmel’s previous super bowl parties, Adam says having Ben Affleck and Matt Damon next to you leads to you not wanting to bother them or include them as you would anyone else for fear of making them feel unformattable or unwelcome.

Adam shares how you learn that someone is a huge fan of yours, like hearing that Tony Kornheiser was a huge fan of yours.

Gary gets a guest complaint in thanks to BB, he shares the experience he had attending Kimmel’s party to set up a podcast recording one year.

 

Adam wraps up the segment early.

Adam asks if there is any talking anyone out of anything anymore, David says yes, it’s possible but always easy.

David has a “what flavor Christian” question hypothetical and Adam has him ask that very question as he an answer chambered, he takes a few attempts to repeat the same exact phrasing, Adam says they’ll clean it up in post and Adam says he’s “little Boy Flavor” and jokes about being a catholic big brother and knowing how these things work, holy shit!

 

Adam talks about a base of faith and how evidence can’t penetrate and emotion based argument beyond reason, David is explaining how he gets through people’s bullshit defenses and Adam has a killer beating off in front of the nanny cam analogy.

BB and Gina both have some great responses and they all get into morality and religion vs. atheism.

 

Gina references ‘The Purge’ and David brings up Secular Humanism and claims to get his morality from that, not his atheism.

Adam can’t tell if it’s Sonny or Natalia in the oldest ‘Daddy Stop Talking’ drop, BB plays it again and Adam has a dent in the fender/pray to Earl Scheib example for why he must stick around after dinging a car if he hypothetically ever did that.
