Adam opens the show with a funny “Woo doggie” intro and BB plays the “Gina(‘S) Got Boobs!” drop from yesterday’s 2nd caller as today’s #TopDrop.

Adam jokes about hearing that Gina may die because she has a head cold, Gina is refusing to entertain the notion she can’t do her job despite her illness, BB mocks her and they move on.

Adam is back to the topic of trying to crane his cars into the Roosevelt Hotel for the ‘Winning’ premier.

 

Adam says it’s hard to tell how many tickets are truly still available due to all of the VIP’s and comps, BB saw ‘Danny Collins’ and says it was surprising.

Adam is sharing he was playing the Wiltern with Jay Mohr back in 2013 when Mike August announced in the green room that he was seeing the band ‘Chicago’ the night before and Al Pacino joined them on stage to film some pieces for a movie.

Adam is recounting this story that was first brought up on ACS #1135 and then again discussed on ACS #1474. They look at photos or a clip of the filming of Al at the concert, Adam jokes about Jay calling his own voicemail in response to Gina.

 

Adam is doing a Dollar Shave Club Live read

 

Adam is bringing up his ‘Sweaters from Earners’ idea and shares a tweet from a person who told them about a brother who was sporting a John Cena hoodie at a funeral.

Adam is talking about the time he and Bill Simmons saw ‘The Marine’ on an empty theater on the Friday it premiered, he still marvels at the lone hot chick who was sitting in the theater with them.

Gina brings up the art a fan tweeted of the sweater idea, Adam is now bringing up the Armenia genocide and the argument from Turkey.

 

Adam is talking about the United States position on the genocide and how we refused to use that term and instead used cowardly nation euphemistic language.

Adam is joking about it being 2015 and your main export being legumes being a bad sign for your country, Gina has all the info on Turkish Tariffs it seems.

Adam has a rape metaphor for genocide, saying when someone makes either accusation he tends to side with the victim in the majority of cases before even getting the facts of the case.

 

Adam is telling Turkey to embrace their genocidal heritage, he’s bringing up how Germany has achieved all of these technological marvels and quality products.

Adam is now having Gina list off the exports for Turkey vs. Germany, Adam is joking about the German ministry putting foodstuffs on the list just to make Turkey feel better.

BB says this is like Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds, Adam lets him run with the analogy.

 

Q and Ace

1st Caller Robert, he wants to know if Adam ever thought of taking his pilots over to Netflix to see if they were interested, there is a train horn in the background.

Funny train related barbs from the gang, Adam is talking about how you spend two years slaving away on a television project or pilot and then one day you get a call from someone on the production.

A Harley just passed Robert, Adam is now lamenting the assholes who remove the baffle on their Harley motorcycles.

 

Adam is back to the sad phone call and the declaration to take the project forward somewhere else that never seems to amount of much.

Adam says that if all of his pilots were 10’s he could’ve avoided the judges (network execs) but they weren’t so he got some bad home town calls.

Adam is telling Robert to “Tone it Downey” and Adam is joking about Downey being soft and white, one of the favorite jokes among him and his fellow pop warner teammates.

 

Adam is talking about the executives who take over every 3-18 months at each network and studio and never seem to dig through all of the unaired pilots that the former supposedly dumb person didn’t pick/bet on.

Adam is commenting on how these networks would like to recoup some money from unaired pilots, Gina brings up the fuck you element as a reasoning for why many pilots never eventually air.

Adam and BB both say the term paradigm at the same time, Adam has Robert clarify his question and BB took it literally, thinking he meant Adam just give the pilot to Netflix, Adam was right and Robert was asking what he thought.

 

The ambiance and soundscape is getting Adam to try and wrap up the call, he’s now suggesting that Robert light a dumpster on fire with his daughter in it to give her a chance at life.

Adam jokes about people travelling on top of trains being gut check time for a nation, unless there are guys doing battle on top of your train, that’s a feather in your nation cap.

Adam is now pitching a ‘Rich Man/Poor Man’ style list of signifiers that let you know if you’re living in a nice place or a shitty place, he cites the decoy cellphone tidbit as told to him by Jo Koy.

 

Adam is pumped about the Entourage movie, he says that Bill Simmons told him he saw the movie and outed Adam in front of Kimmel regarding Adam’s fandom.

Adam shares his early adopter status for ‘Family Guy’ and ‘Entourage’ and brings up the bandwagon fans who have jumped on later in the runs for both shows.

2nd Caller Chris, he’s been asked to return to his former elementary school to speak to the kids on career day.

Adam is now giving him some fake tips for winning the kids over, Adam is telling them about performing at Syracuse doing a speaking engagement with Drew where Drew went on about not needing a college education to work in radio.

 

Adam is asking him for a taste of what he’s going to say to the kids, Adam tells him that using the word duty will get him some laughs.

Adam is complimenting Jerry on his physique and asking him about it, he’s got some interesting insights to weight loss, Adam is sharing his idea about people being required to step off after a certain amount of cardio, as not to shame others.

Jerry says he’s swapped out a lot of his treadmill time with shadow boxing as it translates to movement in the ring.

Adam is joking about running on treadmills and time standing still, he jokes about ‘Modern Family’ feeling like its 7hrs long while on a treadmill.

 

Adam is joking about a self-powered treadmill walker of sorts after giving up on his idea of daisy chaining treadmills throughout his house, should he ever be given only a year to live he would spend as much time on a treadmill as possible to make it feel like a long amount of time, genius!

Adam’s treadmill time dilation theory is hilarious and probably scientifically valid.

Adam is complimenting the ‘Entourage’ trailer and says they didn’t spoil the whole movie, he’s talking about his scene with Ronda Rousey and says that she could kick anyone’s ass, regardless of gender or size.

 

Adam is commenting on how Ronda hasn’t fallen off like all of the great male champions who lose the eye of the tiger, Adam blames it on buying tigers and fuck fests.

BB has a killer “suck it off” line that Adam seems appreciate, Adam thinks that Ronda can keep her edge and has a killer “guess who’s pregnant” one liner if he was set to face Ronda in the octagon.

Adam is sharing his love for Kevin Dillon’s character ‘Johnny Drama’ from the show/movie and brings up the episode where he had to go to the valley.

 

Adam says that ‘Entourage’ only got funnier as the show went on, Jerry says it throws back to the early years of the show.

Jerry shares how they responded to fans demands with drama vs. comedy elements and how you can’t win.
