Adam opens the show to a funny “angrier about food than someone with food poisoning” intro from Dawson and Lynch, Adam welcomes Gina, BB to the show while talking about JD Roth guesting on the ACS today.

Adam is talking about weight loss and getting to how he told his wife about the kids in the flag football league and an observation he made about the fathers on each side of the team and the weight as well.

Adam is saying that the older dads were all physically fit, they have self-discipline, the younger fathers were all sloppy fat, it’s all about dominion over your own desire and self, it’s a larger metaphor for how you live your life.

 

Gina compliments some fans who brought some Porto’s Pastries and Adam reveals he’s at his all-time lightest weight in adulthood, he got to 183 ½ this morning and he’s resisting the huge box of fancy pastries.

Adam has a video clip of some kids doing the ‘Black Eyed Peas” chant at their peewee game, Adam talks about Natalia bringing her tablet filled with her young “cool people” music, Sonny prefers stuff Adam likes.

Adam heard Natalia playing a ‘Panic at the Disco’ song that is really a recycled song from the band ‘Chicago’ and Adam shares his distaste for sampling and using old songs to create new ones.

Adam says it’s a [popular Chicago song, he only cares that she’s credited Panic for the really cool horn riff they didn’t come up with.

Adam is now praising Danishes and coffee in the morning, BB has some more ‘Chicago’ to cool Adam off.

 

Adam says this would be like if Jeffery Dahmer and The Unabomber were coincidentally neighbors, for these two guys to show up and work in his studio and on his films.

Andrew and Brian are both giving their takes on cake, Adam says that they like the opposite of the best part of everything, the worst of everything, they eat the barbs and poison in the center of an artichoke but not the delicious part normal people enjoy.

 

Will Andrew Eat It

1st Food Orange, Adam is now weighing in, bringing up Tangerines and Gary throws Mike Lynch under the bus saying he wrote these, don’t get mad at Gary.

Adam is predicting both guy’s answers, BB chimes in and Gina gives her take on both guys as well.

They both would eat it.

 

2nd Food Smoked Almonds, Adam is talking about almonds being a bridge too far, the smoke might be overpowering and ruin it.

The guys give their answers, Andrew says Yes, Brian says No.

Everyone is debating it, Adam is trying to straighten things out, it’s not about if someone can eat something, it’s if he would like to eat them, Adam brings up the previous incarnation of the game with Angie on the KLSX Morning show.

BB disagrees and makes that weird noise he does when trying to think audibly, Adam is mocking Brian and his reply and gets him to spell it out.

5th Food Grilled Cheese Sandwich, everyone makes their guesses.

Adam reacts to their insane answers, the never had it part is the most minding numbing.

Gary is crunching the numbers.

Q and Ace

1st Caller Roscoe, he carries a gun everywhere he goes, a coworker found out and got super defensive and weird about him carrying a firearm.

He wants to know how people think of those among us who carry a firearm, Adman says guns and abortion is where all of the crazy energy comes in.

Adam talks about Lynette having an NRA credit card, he says her father is the most liberal guy, he liked guns as a separate entity, Adam says Lynette’s coworker saw the NRA credit card and tried to get her fired or did get her fired at ABC, she was out of the social loop regardless he says.

 

Adam says you can’t just like guns, you must also be a bad person, Adam is saying he’s not an NRA guy and he says what they’ve done correctly is refusing to budge, because the left never stops.

Adam once again uses smoking and smokers to make his point, the caller presses Adam for his opinion on gun owners and he has a funny reply while being honest about wanting people to be trained and carry permits etc.

Adam is using vintage car racing to make a point about danger and how you must have a license to race those cars and if you have not run a certain number of sanctioned events in a year you can’t make it into the Rolex cup, they don’t want people with road rust who haven’t been participating and racing.

 

Adam jokes about using crayon to write in a heavyweight status on his license, BB has a killer “thumbs up” reply while in character as a police officer, flawless character work without pause or needless extra back and forth.

BB gives his take on gun owners and Adam says not only are people now global, we’re mobile.

Adam says everyone is shopping online and shipping stuff across the country, he wants a universal rule for carrying a gun much like alcohol or the draft etc.

 

2nd Caller Scott, he’s sticking to the “No Sugar, No Grain” principals as lined out by Vinnie Tortorich, he wants to know about being invited to a fancy dinner, does he ask for accommodations or does he just eat the full meal.

Adam gives him some practical advice and shares his own example of discarding of a bun from a Buffalo Wild Wings (BWW) burger they were serving for lunch at the race track.

BB has another killer one liner, this time as Bill Ficthner judging Adam.

 

Adam shares the awkward “should I put the plate back” encounter he had with the catering staff, he showed up 5 minutes early, someone was fending off the rest of the celebrities until 11:30 A.M. while Adam was sitting alone eating as he snuck in.

Adam says Sinatra would have this staff shot, Gina has a funny “I have a Name!” reply and Adam recalls that parking lot attendant encounter.

Adam is lamenting that this where we’re at as a society, Adam is being cooled off with some more ‘Chicago’ and they head to more calls.

 

3rd Caller Matt, he’s got a baby girl and needs some advice, he brings up the Zika virus concerns, Adam is still preoccupied with the parking attendant that Gina referenced.

BB is sharing his practical fears about the virus that is not yet present in this country, Adam is now being realistic about worldwide statics for illness and disease.

 

4th Caller Dave asks if Transvestites still exist in this modern era of transferred people.

Adam is now saying it’s a slippery slope when you want to “identify” as something you are not, i.e. have the surgery to become the gender you feel you are before using that restroom.

Adam worries about it as he sees how frail and weak humanity is, he brings up service animals that gave way to emotional support dogs.

Adam is sharing how dignity is a thing of the past and he doesn’t trust anyone to do the right thing or what involves morality in any way.

BB plays some ‘Chicago’ and Adam recommends the ‘Shakey’s’ in Santa Monica over the closer location.

 

Gina brings up the concerns about showering with people of different genders, Adam argues against that strawman and says he sees no difference in that and is opening to showering with anyone, even Jews in WWII, holy shit is his wording is off the charts hilarious and even BB has to feign objection.

Adman is saying he gives someone being aroused by him and his body as much clout as the Huffington Post calling him a racist, it means nothing to him.

A gay guy he’s showering with craving Adam’s sausage in his bun, he doesn’t care about conversations people have about what a douchebag he is, he’s going home to his kids.
