Dave jokes about the studio number #66 being built by Mario Lemieux, Dave says it’s the house that Dameshek built and fires his blaster, and Adam says it’s the house that Bill Bergey built.
Adam says he ran into a chick from junior high that he didn’t want to see, Estie Chiladanko/Chandler? Hmmm?

Dave is now reporting on the latest WrestleMania and he’s primitively putting himself on the jerk list for mocking others for not being mature enough to move past a scripted sport and he’s citing his own love and excitement for season 4 of “Game of Thrones.”
Alison says she doesn’t think Adam even knows what Dave’s GOT references mean as he didn’t say the show’s title, Adam replies “Game of Thrones or House of Blues or whatever, I don’t know which it is, I don’t indulge in that bullshit”
Adam says he would take WrestleMania over Game of Thrones.

Dave is now going off on Buffalo, he’s complaining that the football team is named after the man who almost rendered that majestic beast extinct.
He’s reporting that they might move the team to Los Angeles, Adam is reading Pipino’s ranking for punching power.
As we found out in 2006 on the KLSX Adam Carolla Show with Dave Dameshek, Adam punches with 643lb of pressure, Chuck Liddell required 3 attempts to match that ranking, he beat Sugar Ray by about 100lbs too, thought he cited at the time, he was not known for his power, but speed and combination of skills.

Adam says he’s never thought about the military there, Adam says that’s what you want in an army “quaint” and Rhys is telling them about the multi skilled men that were shaped but with a budget, having to yell “bullets, bullets, bullets” while running in the woods, instead of firing munitions, as they couldn’t afford to waste them.
Adam is being polite and asking the main differences between New Zealand and Australia, Rhys is explaining the historical differences and citing how the British formed Australia.

Adam is using the Japanese to further his point, a buttoned down society that lets loose in unusual ways.

Hooray for Baldywood
Captain America the Winter Soldier, BB is going super in depth with the background of this movie and the people involved with its production.
BB is quizzing the gang if they’ve seen the last movie, Adam says fuck no and BB is mistakenly weaving the wrong type of supernatural into the description, the Red Skull’s skull is not on fire, it’s been stripped of all flesh, it’s a red skull.
BB is now lamenting Marvel Comics, he’s not getting it and Adam says he was completely down with the first Iron Man and is explaining why.
Not knowing that every thread of every character is tied to the next and the “magic” in the movies/continuity is actually science, Adam is switching between moving Marvel and DC.
Rhys is giving his take on “The Avengers” and BB is explaining about 3 seconds of the plot then trails off with some “blah blah blah”.
Adam is asking for you to mix these crazy genres and he’s saying that you use the future/terminator, BB is saying this is fantasy, no it’s not BB, it was SCI-FI of the highest order, reimaging all of the Greek mythology as if it was real and originated from space.

Adam is breaking down the types that make sense, he’s saying go super young or super old, citing the Die Hard and Bond standards and the “young computer hacker guys”.

B+ according to BB.

Adam is now doing a live read and Dave Dameshek is swapping spots with Rhys, Alison is joining Adam on the Life Lock live read as per usual.
Dave is now bringing up the most mismatched hero and villain in all of comics, Superman vs. Lex Luthor in DC Comics lore, yeah DC sucks bro.
Dave wants to know who would win in a fight, Superman or The Hulk, Adam says it’s unclear how powerful the Hulk is, he’s bringing up King Kong and then using sidewinder missiles that can’t penetrate the flesh of the hulk.
Nobody is telling Adam that the Hulk instantly heals, BB is defending Superman and they’re now bringing up Godzilla, Adam says if it will shred a tank it will shred Godzilla, Adam is missing the point about the Hulk’s abilities and how hurting him makes him angrier which then only increases his power.
Alison is bringing up a question of what magic power she would choose if she wanted, they’re all now weighing in, Adam has a killer burn on BB.
Bald Bryan “Invisibility is really the better one.”
Adam Carolla “Invisibility? I feel like you’re halfway there…”

Adam is joking about flying and how we would all injure ourselves like an old person a skateboard, he’s now asking a bizarre hypothetical about a future where you live forever but you’re stuck in a 90yr old body forever, they can’t rejuvenate you, just extend life.
He’s now asking another hypothetical about freezing yourself ala Captain America, so you could take advantage of the advances in medicine but in your younger body.
Alison is now asking them about Rick Rosner and his gross toe.
Adam and Dave are discussing how Rick reentered High school multiple times, even as old as 28, Errol Morris even made a documentary about him according to Dameshek.
