Show Page

Adam opens the show to a “Hedge Trimmers and a Chainsaw man-scaping” intro, Adam welcomes Gina to the show and BB has a drop of Adam shouting “I agree with you cause I’m smart!” and Adam says he’s vexed by the decreasing intelligence of society in the face of free access to all information via the internet.

Adam welcomes Jeff back to the show for his 4th appearance, Adam explains that everyone is a big fan of his appearances on the show and shares his love for the character Chet Waterhouse.

Adam says he heard Jeff on KROQ back in 1993 on KROQ, the Kevin and Bean morning show, even predating ‘Jimmy the Sports Guy’ and transitions to an anecdote from the other night at home with the kids.

 

Adam explains he was watching ‘Jaws’ with the kids and Sonny echoed a remark Adam made to Lynette 15 years ago or possibly more, Sonny burped in Natalia’s face and she proclaimed it smelled like root beer and he replied “Good, that means it tastes like root beer” which was very close to Adam’s “Good, that means I’m asleep retort he delivered to Lynette when she woke him up for snoring.

BB and the gang weigh in and they try to discover where that sense of humor and similarity came from, Jeff thinks Sonny has an affinity for Adam’s personality and Adam mocks Sonny’s estimate that he’s ranked somewhere around 4th or 5th in the competition to be “Class Clown” and Jeff has a nice Ali Wong reference.

Adam says he has a proclamation that he wishes the mayor would make, he explains how he is tweeted about various traffic interventions by fans across the country.

 

Adam has Gary read an article about red turn arrows being replaced by flashing yellow arrows, Adam asks how long he’s been ranting about these arrows on air, BB has a funny and earnest estimation of the ubiquity of these rants from Adam.

Adam is now sharing some details from the article and Gina is reading after Gary was able to locate it and provide it to her, BB has a killer “one particular local motorist who is particularly vocal” one liner.

Gina reads from the article and shares the details, Adam is now asking Gary about the rest of the article, Gina skipped the part they already discussed and the quote from the councilman, Adam has her read the missing paragraph and Gary jumps on mic to finish the article.

 

Adam is mystified about Gina not having the full article, Gary thinks she has a full printed copy and Adam has her finish the article and the “you make a judgement as a driver” line, he hones it on that and makes a larger point about personal responsibility while operating a vehicle. He says instead of retrofitting Los Angeles and spending all of that money, how about the mayor gets on the blower and tells citizens to use their judgment, “right on red turn arrows” as a public service mandate/announcement.

BB says he could never imagine a politician doing this as it makes sense and is quite simple, Adam has a “friendly toot, toot” addendum for alerting other motorists about turning right on red lights.

Adam has the indignation motorist yesterday, he was at a four way stop sign and was stared down by the other motorist for driving 8 feet before seeing it was the other driver’s right of way.

 

Gina shares how she gave a sorry waive to a motorist she creeped up on who immediately gave her the finger, assuming Gina was giving her shit instead of politely saying sorry.

BB is now commenting on metering lights for entering the freeway, he explains how they have two cars per green now and most drivers don’t know that, Gary says he got into an accident because someone didn’t drive through as they were supposed to do.

BB shares a recent interaction when he was aggressively honked at by a guy who was stopped on a green, how does someone point at the sign and inform that driver without it being an act of futility.

 

Dawson has a “The House of Adam” in Arabic tidbit.

 

Jeff has a traffic cop “let’s go” idea for moving traffic.

 

GeicoDie of carbon monoxide poisoning in traffic Edition

 

Adam is setting up a rant on Gavin Newsom and informs Chet of the time he guested on the show, Adam says he’s only been as disappointed as he was with Gavin and Mayor Garcetti’s lack of thoughts about traffic as he was when he asked his dad why he doesn’t have a middle name.

Adam is now setting up a clip from ACS #1025 and they’re commenting on his reactions from that episode, BB and Gina both seem equally as outraged.

Adam says these guys don’t seem that interested in their jobs, Gina is surprised by Gavin’s immediate deflection in response to Adam talking about turning right on red lights.

Gian teases an insane encounter with a homeless person.

 

AloneTruly alone and no forced challenges Edition

 

Gina shares how she texted Gary about possibly being late for the show, she was trying to help a homeless man whom she witnessed counting change.

BB has some “Resveratrol” drop work from Dr. Bruce.

Gina explains how the homeless guy went and stared at the wall as she paid for his items and then how he screamed in her face about 18 inches away when she tried to give them to him, Adam has a killer “so he was touching your titties” one liner and Gina rolls with it.

Gina says, “No good deed goes unpunished” and Adam hopes she learned an important lesson, she says she came straight to the studio after the encounter and went right into the show, wow!

 

BB has a killer “we have a new intern” joke and Jeff has a solid Shia LaBeouf comment.

Adam jokes about this homeless guy being laid off from his factory job last week, leading to his current state, mocking the notion that anyone could become homeless.

Gina estimates he was in his early 60’s and Adam heads to the phones as he tells Gary he can clear the screen when they finish with it.

 

Q and Ace

1st Caller Rebecca, she’s from Las Vegas but missed the most recent live show, BB mocks her for not attending “all” of the shows, she missed one.

Rebecca brings up how all of Adam’s guests on the show poopoo the notion of nuclear power, she explains how Thorium-based nuclear power is safe and they demand to know how she knows so much.

Adam references a sailor who tweeted him about submarine he was on that has only been refueled once in 30 years, due to its nuclear power supply.

 

It turns out her family has acreage of property, a homestead with massive amounts of Thorium, BB jokes about her having some skin in the game.

Adam is marveling at her property and its massive expanse, Adam mocks the idea of allowing the public and their superstitions to sway interest and impeded research into nuclear power.

Pitbull is brought up and Adam says he loves performers that are essentially cheerleaders, he now imitates Pitbull and shouts “Come on, c’mon” and then segues to DJ’s who jump out from their gear hype up the audience.

Adam is talking about everything being “and Pitbull” in pop music, implying he doesn’t have his own work, he just jumps in and assists with hype and enthusiasm.

 

Adam is now riffing about adding “Pitbull” to other scenarios and goes deep on a roof repair estimate improv scene with Gina playing the homeowner, BB jumps in as Pitbull encouraging her to take the estimate.

Adam is now recommending some possible ways he can still contribute, Pete shares how much he loves Gina’s name and how he mistook her for being Italian, before he learned she was Jewish.

Jeff has a “Miserati” one liner and them on as BB tells him to save it for Chet.

Adam is talking about the Santa Monica initiative to limit ATM fees to $2 and how despite it being voted in, is still not in effect and he riffs about limiting fines for driving and parking infractions too, upping the ante for the non-complying city government.

 

Adam is talking about his money and says he could have spent his Improv class money on insurance and maybe he should have, Adam is now moving on to how people don’t have the right to anything in the world, it’s not reality.

They have to let Marcos go as he’s too charming with his laugh and stoned persona.
