Alison almost called Adam to talk about it after this came up last time, Adam jokes about the hot mixed nuts that Jo enjoys from truck stops, Adam says most truckers just fuck the bags.
Adam calls Jo, Joy and he gets pissed, Adam doesn’t get why it’s such a big deal and is advocating for calling him that instead.
BB has a nice Harland Williams #TopDrop and Adam gives the plugs for Joy.
BB has a funny callback mocking Joy and he doesn’t seem to appreciate it but he has killer replies.
Adam is now bringing up the Blue Whales photographed via satellite in shipping lanes and he’s marveling at the United States obsessing over whales despite the problems we face today.
Adam is riffing about the whale reparations we’ve all put in and Adam is saying on his death bed it will be all “gay whales who want to get married and smoke cannabis and the worries about the secondhand smoke coming from his cannabis” killer riff.
This is already Ace Awards 2014 material.

Adam is now riffing that, the whale rapture is them being murdered at sea, holy shit!
Adam is now asking why they can’t get out of the way something the size of the Chrysler building and Alison agrees with Adam that the whales must know of the approaching ships.

This live read is hilarious!
Adam is now asking Jo Koy about something, he’s telling them about taping a show with William Shatner where the sample wine and how Matt Fondiler entered the room to tell him about the hotel suite he found for 271 a night, Adam had to correct Matt’s fuck up because another person was there to witness it.
Adam wants to know if everyone else would correct them anyway or clear the record so the other person isn’t then wondering if they need to jump in.
BB wants to know what could be gained, Adam says people are assholes and is now giving some examples of people who mock you for misspeaking, hilarious “Movrie” mispronunciation riff, comedy gold!
BB has an example of his sarcastic reply and Alison is the first one to mock him, Adam quickly follows, good stuff.

Jo is now in character as “Brown Sugar” and Adam is the straight man and has a hilarious pronunciation of “Delicious” as mandated by B.S. and Adam is complimenting him and his ilk.
Adam is doing a “one of the good ones” type element and Jo says that white sugar has little dicks, Alison is losing it.
Adam is telling him to chill, he’s going nuts and Adam tells him he lives under the sink for a reason, not in the pantry, he’s explaining why again, he’s not looking for trouble, the neighborhood is set in its ways.
They let “wheat germ” in and they fit in quite nicely, Adam is bringing up pineapple upside down cake and says it’s time for a change, maybe white sugar can take over, just to mix it up.
Adam brings up “Sweet and low” and Brown Sugar calls him cancer causing motherfucker, BB is now in the mix and B.S. is arguing not to be replaced, Adam wants to have him just take the weekend off.
Adam is telling him to talk to the cleanser and talk to the ant cleaner, Adam tells him not to anger “RAID” and he better hope he doesn’t hear him, this is ACE AWARDS 2014 MATERIAL, like this first 40min of show, holy shit!
Adam is joking about Dole’s calves and how huge they are, Brown sugar says he’s almost black, the biggest Asian he’s ever seen.
Adam is now asking him what it’s like when they turn the garbage disposal on, hilarious replies from B.S., Jo is fucking on fire, wow!

Adam is telling them about this hero who brought it for him and how he devoured it over two days, Adam is bringing up Lynette’s curiosity about where he got the food and why.
Lynette gives her take on the lasted “For Crying Out Loud” and Adam is now giving a poll of the crew to see who likes Pineapple upside down cake, everyone wants to know how Adam knew Dawson wouldn’t like it and why he asked him first, Alison presents the idea.
Adam is now saying that out of 8 people 7 like it very much and he asks that the last time any of them had it was and over/under of 7 years.
Dawson now shits on Adam’s point entering and leaving buy saying the last time was a year ago, Jo says he was in the hospital last time.

Jo is in the mix and now Adam is saying that there are two things that drive him nuts in life, the bit where Anderson would say that Adam only likes BB because he’s a brownnoser and how Anderson only does that to fuck with him, BB confirms it.
Adam says the other thing he hates is the implication he bans comedians from the show because he’s intimidated by them, Bald Bryan is telling them about guesting on G.I.O. Get It On Episode 261 where we dispelled the myth of Adam interfering or knowing about any booking.
BB says it’s a very “perceived” thing by some people, Adam tries to use Jo Koy as an example to disprove it but Jo was only on the KLSX ACS uncredited then didn’t come on the podcast until ACS #1064 after his personal star had risen, totally a coincidence but also proves that Adam isn’t really aware of who was on when, he just feels like they’re a “friend of the show.”
They’re now heading to break.
They’re back from Break and Mike Lawrence is joining them for his first in studio appearance after appearing live at Amalfi and here in Chicago.

1st Story She was driving down forest lawn drive and saw a cop pulled over by the flower guys shaking them down, she’s explaining the cop was talking to the “undocumented citizens” who hang out and sell flowers along the road side, for people heading to the cemetery presumably.
Adam is explaining how the cop parks his black motorcycle in a driveway and saw a stop sign wedged in his bike faring and how he would hold his stop sign up to take away his one piece of work, he can now just hold his stop sign and pull over multiple people, like catching fish.

Adam and Mike are explaining why this can only backfire for everyone else, Alison is now sharing her own experience confirming their theory.

Adam says he had his license and registration out waiting for him, Adam was agreeable and was asked if he had a reason why he sped, Adam told him it’s his fault and Alison wants to know if he wanted to lose it.

Adam says you don’t want him to walk back to the car thinking “what a prick!” you want him feeling bad about writing you a ticket, Adam says no excuses and not to push back, Adam outsmarted him and was told how to get back on the freeway and explained this to his kids, showing them how to get out of tickets, their only chance to avoid it.
