Show Page

Adam opens the show thanking the fans for sharing, BB plays the “Neat” #TopDrop from the old Dave Chappelle ‘Crank Yankers’ call.

Adam is telling them about “Ace on the House’ and jokes about his dad getting the name of his shows wrong and how insulting their questions can people act oblivious to the shows/networks you work on.

Adam is back to Ace on the House and a particular phrasing he picks up on, he’s going even further back to Classic Loveline and how Producer Ann would pull out the camera to get pictures of them with the likes of Rod Stewart but not ‘Bad Brains’ and how Drew would wait for her to get the camera, unable to pick up the one social cues.

 

Those photos are now lost to time, sitting a binder in Ann’s possession, for some reason unshared with the Classic Loveline feed, so they were literally taken just for her private collection and will never be shared with the thousands of people who would love to see them.

Adam is sharing the piece of trivia that Ray threw out on the most recent AOTH, BB wisely picks up on the phrasing too and suggests it must be a Ladder.

Clever BB.

 

Adam is playing the clip from the show, gold!

You should be listening to Ace on the House, along with The Adam and Drew Show it really completes the weekly dose of Adam content.

Gina say its deductive reasoning and not social cues, she compliments BB’s guess and now Adam is wrapping it up.

Adam says you need to give 5 follow up emails when he does an interview and mocks the idea of an email blast being effective.

 

Adam is now asking why he must do interviews when everyone gets everything wrong, Adam is telling them about Matt D’andria trying to help out with this.

BB talks about the typos they added to his book, he did a better job than the professional staff hired to monitor for them, they made his book worse.

BB talks about people working on things that aren’t their projects and how they show their lack of interest, Adam is now explaining his site still says “pre-order” and jokes about cloning himself to keep track of this stuff.

 

Adam is lamenting his 9 jobs and people surrounding him who don’t help, Gina says that Adam should adopt Marshawn Lynch’s style of speaking and only give out the premier/release dates in lieu of talking in interviews.

Adam explains that Molly has decided that going through the doggy door is now a bridge too far for her, Adam says that what has happened is much like an old person getting out of a sports car, Adam is riffing about that “handle reach” move that old guys do.

Adam is sharing its right where Natalia sits to do homework and a year and a half of her using the doggy door has been undone by letting her in, Adam says instead she barks and waits.

 

Adam is commenting on how humans and dogs aren’t that different, using Molly and her insistence and woofing to make a point about the welfare system in American and how humans react to handouts.

Adam says that Lynette went to Sonny’s open house and everyone had their reports laid out, Sonny’s report was nestled between Leonardo Da Vinci and Neil Armstrong, Adam is now having them picture a lineup with Shaq in between both of those gents.

Adam says when it comes to writing jokes you wouldn’t come up with both of those names.

 

Adam is now doing a smooth Live Read for Castrol

Adam tells the gang about taking his son to the auto parts store this week, he took Natalia to the hardware store the week prior, nice.

Adam is now riffing about the types of guys who hang out at the automotive store, the kind of guy who brews his own beer and is delusional about its quality and everyone placates him despite knowing he’s full of shit.

 

Q and Ace

1st Caller Lee offers to take Molly out for Adam, Adam jokes about having a compressor and just needing a bolt after Lee references ‘No Country with Old Men’ and Adam has a nice anecdote about his dog and how she likes to hang out with people.

Lee brings up the noise pollution and Adam is talking about spending time in his backyard, his kids detailed the car with him for an upcoming photo shoot. He wants to know if Adam is ever ok with silence or if he always needs an earbud in.

Adam is commenting on the stats regarding declining religious people in the United States and Adam says he hates the trend despite being an atheist as he thinks people are now becoming so self-obsessed as society it’s become “The Religion of Me.”

Adam is now talking about his own daughter and how his presence alone makes a huge difference, he has a very eloquent point about self-esteem and empowering women, Gina agrees and Adam talks about the “freeze response” that typically indicated past trauma with the majority of their Loveline callers.
