Adam says that it takes two to tango when parties are in different states, Adam demands Zoltan explain more and he shares how his sister was incorrect initially.

Adam is now talking about being forced to dig in and lock antlers with these shifty producers over topics and things they don’t understand.

Adam is sharing the example of his SPEED Channel Car Show and the idea for a bit he has where he would get inebriated and compete against sober, focused people of other walks of life.

Adam is explaining how the producers wanted to cook the bit and cheat, in effect ruining the premise.

 

Adam explains how he then had to excuse himself and the producer to go over the bit in the car they were using, so they could be in private and settle this disagreement.

Adam says it’s them trying to put their stink on the bit, not worrying about the quality and Drew shares how he was recently hit up about prostate cancer “active surveillance” and told to get into it on air, unaware he’s been preaching about it for 5 yrs.

Adam mocks his family and their “is it done” questions, he says he doesn’t ask a lot of questions and mocks people’s out loud thought process where they ask about stuff they could easily look up.

Adam says he wants to dismiss the notion that people are entitled to their feelings and that questions are harmless; some questions can be very insulting.
