Show Page

Adam opens the show to a funny birthday intro, he thanks the fans for supporting the how making all of this possible, BB has a happy birthday party horn/birthday whistle #TopDrop and Adam gets right into his Pixar table read.

Adam talks about seeing his rendered character and how he was asked to pick up and do another character in addition to his character at the table read.

Gina is asking if they were asking for him to also play these ancillary roles or if this was just to keep the table read pared down to less people.

 

Adam is now talking about the difficulty in shaping written and scripted comedy, Adam talks about painting houses and starting with patenting offices in century city.

He says that painting was a job where everyone thought they could do it, akin to comedy and how it seems to be easy for everyone except for the one guy with difficulty learning to read.

Adam says this takes him right back to his “Gurls” chalkboard misspelling in front of the partisan crowd, BB likes that word choice.

 

Adam is bringing up his friend Mark the fat kid, who was always resistant to the ACME comedy softball games and how he would always no show for the physical stuff as he swore he would never play sports after school ended.

Adam just had a dream about the guy and says he realized that Mark was game for everything but the same pain and humiliation he suffered in the past ala Adam and his reading related trauma.

Adam talks about not reading after school and how he didn’t’ have to try hard to avoid it, he didn’t read books and he didn’t follow instructions.

BB asks about Adam possibly becoming a master improv comedian and builder as his reading ability wasn’t there, his other abilities had to overcompensate for it.

 

Adam has a great racial/jazz analogy about how less instruction and formal training often can lead to a new art form that couldn’t’ exist, Asian people don’t play jazz music.

Adam says the “ginormity” (enormity) of this project was frightening him and stressing him out.

Adam says that half the battle is reading your paragraph, the other half is knowing when to jump in.

 

Adam says about 3 times today the person who was reading stage direction and there was a 2 Mississippi pause and he was convinced it was his mistake even through it wasn’t.

BB is commenting on the Pixar process and how much work it takes to get one of these movies made, Gina asks about some big names and Adam says he was asked to perhaps come in and punch up the script too, wow!

Adam can’t reveal any names or details and he says about 4 years away, BB asks if there will be an action figure or doll from his character, Adam can see himself presenting his action figure to his kids who will be less than enthused and fully aware it’s a figure of dad.

 

Adam is doing a Castrol Live Read

John Lassiter in the Paul Newman doc edition

 

Dawson congratulates Adam on his movie role and asks him if he’s going to change up his voice and Dawson tells them about booking Doug Laux’s audiobook and how he’s scheduled the recording for this weekend, over 100 production hours will be put into the book.

Doug was on ACS #1811.

 

Barstool Breakdown

Blind Mike is back again with another Barstool segment

1st Topic Barack Obama’s “Eskimo” legislation, Adam is talking about whitey labeling a culture or race from 100 yrs. ago and saying it’s now always a bag thing, Adam is asking who came up with Eskimo and he comments on Obama focusing on the most fringe issues possible.

Gary has the meaning of the name, he’s now asking what a name swap has ever done for a race or culture, how has it improved things for them. Gina references ‘The League’ and Adam wishes that the president had to focus on issues that effected at minimum 0.05% of the country’s populace.

 

Adam says it feels like we’re going nuts and he says this is just one more correction from the political left and BB says this is the first time he’s ever heard that Eskimo was an offensive title.

Adam has a Tim/Kim mix-up why Dr. Adam is trying to cure the kid’s tumor but instead they’re interested in winning the discussion in lieu of helping Kim.

Adam talks about the rare Jewish controversy ala Sarah Silverman and her joke that led to the Guy Aoki controversy and Politically Incorrect ambush booking, he’s making a point about cultures that don’t waste time on frivolous things like titles.

 

Adam has a Subaru that you’re calling a Bentley analogy, you can call it whatever you want…

Adam says nobody really cares about this stuff, if they really did it would be boots on the ground, BB makes a grunting hmm noise and tells Adam he’s only been to a native American casino never a reservation to help support them.

Gina is bragging about her Subaru and Adam once again references the time he was pulled over for suspected drunk driving while trying to break the tire traction in the Subaru WRX (Subaru Legacy) and it was 2006 and the KLSX morning show, driving to the show not LoveLine.

 

2nd Topic the online campaign to make Captain America gay, BB asks if this just want the comic or the movies, of course it’s both.

Blind Mike brings up the backstory and Gina is now sharing how this started with the Elsa a girlfriend campaign, Adam is joking about Captain America’s outfit.

Adam is missing that they are trying to remove heterosexuality and American symbolism from a legacy character, Adam is saying they will have to remove his connection to America and he inadvertently references ‘Union Jack’ a character he doesn’t even know exists.

 

The grandest irony is that Cap is now a Nazi/Hydra agent in the comics so they already have removed 75 years of history and connection to this country already, make him a gay Nazi and people like him better than if he’s representing the country they live in that allows them their freedom to bitch online about cartoons and comic books.

Dawson gets on mic with the theory that this the Gay element could redeem him in the hearts and minds of anti-American American’s.

Adam jokes about a gay bottom superhero and he says the good news is we could make great erasers out of the bottom gay character, easy to fit a pencil in there.

 

Adam says they should take Aquaman and make him gay, Blind Mike has a great point about this being aimed at seemingly non gay characters, it’s offensive if you pick the obvious choice like Aquaman.

They wrap up the segment.

 

Adam is now talking about the Hawk that snatched the drone they watched during the live show last week and how that’s got him thinking about how Aquaman could work, controlling sea creatures with his mind etc.

Gina is unfamiliar with his powers and knows that he can hold his breath, Adam has killer “that’s just until he gets his way” one liner.

Adam is now describing some footage of drones and Gary gets on mic.

 

Gina comments on the notion of birds attacking other things in midair and Adam says they hate everything that flies that isn’t them.

Adam is calling for Attack Crows and he says all that we get from birds today is some crap on our windshields and that’s where it ends.

Adam is now sharing what he would like to present to Obama, he would ask him about our plans for employing and getting use out of animals.

“What are we really getting out of birds” – Adam

 

Adam is talking about birds having the super power of being able to fly, let’s figure out ways to use them and he comments on the Indian kid he saw riding an ostrich.

Adam says birds of prey are nature’s fighter jets, use them against enemy drones and “attack crows” security detail.

Adam says Obama needs to harness birds and Gina has a lame duck joke aimed at Obama.

Adam is sharing how Ivan was reacting as his time is very precious and they watch the scene where they jump the Ford Taurus.

Adam has been angry with this scene for 16 yrs. and Scot learns how far off his math was when it comes to car weight.

Scot is taking it well and Adam is roasting his feet over the coals about the 1600 lb. car weight estimate/guess.
