Adam opens the show to a funny “real inspiration of Doogie Howser M.D.” intro from Dawson and Lynch, Adam is now putting a challenge out there for the audience and the gang.
Adam is welcoming everyone to the show, BB has the drop of Gary saying “Adam Carolla is a racist” as today’s #TopDrop and Adam references Billy Mays.
Adam says the new idea is “Does it exist and how does it work” where people suggest things that might already exist and then describe how they might work if they do exist or could.
Adam is back to the dog shit argument and immediately gets on BB’s case, BB is defensive and mocks the notion of using someone else’s trashcan for a week of possibly leaking and stinging up their driveway.
BB says Nick came in and pissed him off with the ultimate “best cure to hangover is to not drink” style comment.
Adam is breaking down the poll that the was worded poorly and posted by the Adam Carolla Show staff without telling the fans on the show, so of course the haters voted against Adam.
Adam is now explaining what easements between properties are for the people out of state who might be unfamiliar.
Adam is now finding out about the poorly worded poll, Gina reads the tweet.
Gary steps in and says Nick purposely misspelled easement due to the character limit, BB says this is Adam’s “yeah but still” and he’s being defiant with his tone and insistence that dog shit in his trash can is “great” and he says he doesn’t have an emotional attachment to his trashcan, implying Adam does.
Adam says he was watching Sonny collecting all of Phil’s poop, Adam is mocking BB’s utopia with everyone’s trashcan filled with fresh dog shit, he wants there to be something else that exists to decompose dog poop.
Some place, some device, a composter of sorts, no plastic liner etc.
Adam describes what this thing looks like if it exists, he asks them if they think such a device does exist, Gina brings up agricultural uses and BB is trying to present a theory of some kind and Adam lets him release it.
BB shares how they have one made and designed for babies, he thinks it does exist and Adam asks him how it works, Gina says no.
BB says “breeders” and Adam has a great “straight people?” reply, he jokes about the poop being formed into hard candy.
Adam says he doesn’t know how much Phil weighs as he can’t life him once he hit over 100 lbs., Adam is now finding out that such devices do exist.
Gary has the details and explains how it works, Adam is dead on with this and he says he’s all in, Gary is sharing he details, Adam asks if Phil can fit in the compost tub, he will pull a ‘Cool Hand Luke’ on him, he’ll be eating eggs while serving his time.
Adam jokes about having Ray run into it by faking an air raid, telling him it’s a shelter, ha-ha!
Adam asks fans to contribute but not give anything lame like a clothes hamper.
Adam says Phil has taken to wedge himself between the headboard and Adam’s pillow, he comments on the crate training, he likes a dog that sleeps on the bed, why not, it’s fun!

Adam has a picture of Phil who wedged himself, he’s all of 100 lbs. and he’s forced Adam to the very corner, he likes pushing up against him but he just keeps taking land.
Adam brings up the time he shared a bed with Ray who was suffering from ringworm during his bachelor party weekend.
Adam says there is nothing in it for Ray to roll over and take more space, it’s an intrinsic statement about his personality and benefits him in no possible way.
Adam is asking Gina about the end of her morning show with Mark Thompson, she is explaining how the station told them the morning show was being discontinued.
Adam and Gina both praise Mark, they were then told the radio show was ending in 3 days, not two weeks as they were first told.
Gina talks about the emotional show where they broke the news to the audience, Adam is sharing how he’s getting old and he’s artificially packing time on events, he states that the death of Michael Jackson coincided with time speeding up for him.
Gina shares how she ended up the new host of the show, it will be a music based program.
Adam is now saying that he imagens the people who sign up for focus groups and how a focused group “universal pizza” would come out, nobody would enjoy it.
Adam is now riffing about the horrible ingredients, cat food and liverwurst included.
BB’s hilarious “fancy feast” comment leads to Adam talking about the Jimmy (sprinkles) and Giblet stuffed crust.
Hilarious “friendly fella” description of the Jewish guy in the focus group.
Adam wants the details on the packaged deviled ham of his childhood, from what he has dubbed “The Sizzlean Era” and Gary has the info, it’s underwood deviled ham, it was a weird meat paste, ala cream cheese not akin to Spam.
Gina’s reaction is gold; Adam is now riffing about the pizza by committee that could never work.
Adam says they’re going wedge shaped, he’s riffing about the results and has a funny “New York, New York” joke followed up with a Hymie town comment, holy shit!
Adam says comfort food is good due to nostalgia, not due to the quality, he says dumb people like Joan Jett and Steve Miller, recognizing something doesn’t mean you like it or enjoy it.
Adam brings up the confusion element that is part of testing movies and shows, people will find something to be confused about if asked, it’s a horrible way to figure out what is good and what is not good.
Adam asks Gina about what they’re going to need to do per hour, 18-20 minutes of content per hour she estimates.
Adam talks about doing Dan Patrick’s show and how far away the facility is, way past LAX and they want him there around 5 A.M.
Gina shares her reaction to finding out about Mark, the freeway came to a dead stop and all the lanes were blocked, she says she went sideway and got off a freeway by using the freeway onramp.
Adam recalls his infamous “Silver Prius!” from 2004 LoveLine
Classic LoveLine – WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 8, 2004 – GUEST: NO GUEST • HOST: ADAM, DR. DREW
Where he snaked down a freeway backwards and narrowly escaped a now hopefully dead gray haired old fuck who was trying to force him to stay put like a citizen’s arrest, asswipe!
BB and Adam give Gina congratulations and Adam asks if Mark is retiring now or what he’s looking at doing, Gina says he wants to do some podcasts and wants to talk to Adam.
