Show Page

Adam opens the show with a hilarious intro, Adam now has a tease for his car stories and welcomes Gina and BB to the show, BB has a ‘Big Lebowski’ #TopDrop in honor of their guest Josh from Buckcherry.

Adam is now talking about people preaching at you, how it began with awards shows and now places like the aquarium they visited are asking for donations and guilt tripping you.

Adam is saying the aquarium can take you to another place and then seeing the harsh realities of the damage that is caused by motor oil spilled down sewer drains.

 

Adam says the people paying 50-60 per ticket to get into an Aquarium are not the ones then going home and dumping oil in the drain, Adam explains how dealerships are to blame and has a prime example about the dump charging for disposal and what that ends up causing behavior wise from those who cannot afford it.

Adam says you are forcing poor people to things you don’t want them to do, Gary says that in California you can dispose of your motor oil for free, Gary says it’s a specific law for California and the expense goes back to the oil companies.

Chris is on mic and he jokes about he signs asking for an end to the whaling industry, Adam is saying that preaching to the people who are already in agreement does nothing but makes you feel like a hero, for doing nothing.

 

Adam doesn’t want to be made to endure preaching when trying to have an experience in the place you created to give people said experience.

Adam is now reading off some of the names of the penguins in the exhibit, Adam screams that there is not one Todd in the entire mix.

Adam mocks the “Walvus” and other ridiculous names, Adam says it’s more jacking off into the wind, Adam wanted one dude name, he wants to know one other country that would do this, it’s all a part of a bigger picture to Adam.

 

Adam had Chris sneak around and take pictures of all of the penguins’ arm bands, Adam is now ranting about the white dudes who build the aquarium in response to the use of the name Ray but spelled Rey…

Adam shares the two other normal names Elizabeth and Velma, Adam says guess who pays for everything and built the aquarium, he says just the concrete part was done by a hundred white guys named Mike.

Adam asks how the preaching assholes think built the aquarium, Adam asks what it must be like to be a SJW type who is so woefully unaware of reality.

 

Chris gets back on mic and Adam wants penguin names from around the world and Adam shares his take on leasing pandas from China and being able to pick our own names.

 

Bark Box

“I don’t think your dog’s gonna know, but if you want to impress a gal at work, get it for her” edition

 

BB comments on Adam’s mood hole that he’s dug for himself in response to the poser SJW types.

 

Adam is now sharing his teased “tale of two cars” and he explains how his mom got herself a new car, well a 2013 but the newest car she’s ever owned.

Adam comments on his mom’s theory on Volvo’s and their safety standards, saying it’s the safest of the era, that expires at some point as time goes by and cars evolve and your car ages.

Adam is now asking them to come up with a guess about the value of the car his parents turned in, it was $235 and he explains the had money to buy something better and newer, he asks them to imagine that as your parents, in charge of you with no money.

 

Adam was dumbfounded, he brings up the indicators that people give about who they really are, he brings up Don King stomping a guy to death.

Adam says his mom was fired up and wanted to have a conversation about politics, he describes her shock that rich people actually pay taxes from a decade ago or so.

Adam is now further describing his mom and her methodology of thinking, he brings up their discussion about corporations and the government as the ultimate conversation, Gina says she brought a real knife to a gun fight.

 

She then brought up big oil, she says it must be evil and Adam talks about the need for energy to keep things running, to evolve society and create progress.

Adam says she kept saying “poisoning the kids” like they must eat a teaspoon of crude oil each night before bed, Adam says Ben and Jerry’s is big, they’re not bad nor in between.

 

Adam says it was time to leave he noticed their new Mercedes Station wagon, Adam says his mom told him that her number #1 factor on buying a car is safety, right after he preaching about the evils of oil.

Adam talked about this on the ADS with Dr. Drew where he got a much larger reaction from his cohost.

BB is now logically approaching Adam’s mom’s reply, he’s not realizing the selfish hypocrisy at play, Adam is fine with it and he’s further hammering his point home.

 

Q and Ace

1st Caller James, he’s not on the line.

 

2nd Caller Brandon brings up Adam’s “Holy Grail” of cars, the Porsche that Adam had to live with in an edit bay for quite some time and talks about the insane cost for footage, some places want 1,000 USD per second.

Adam is now talking about the apple Livery that the Porsche sported for a time, he goes over the full history and he explains how he tracked it down, it came up for auction and he didn’t have 4.5 Million but realized it was never coming up for auction ever again, it will be worth 15 the next time it sells.

Adam says that he realized that if he sold almost every Lamborghini he had he could get that money together and have enough for the Newman Porsche.

 

Adam is now sharing his logic about selling all of his cars to get the cash together, Adam says the Lamborghinis are 1 of a hundred and this car is 1 of 1.

Adam jokes about having Matt Fondiler dress up and act as some kind of middle eastern baron bidding like a mad man “shandala, shandala” and Chris is on mic to share how quickly the car hit 4.4 Million.

Adam is saying he wasn’t prepared to stay much longer than this, they had to walk back the bid after Adam’s 4.4 bid, of course something like that had to happen.

 

Chris has a recording of the mistake to prove it, BB laughs at the “routine” going on.

 

Gina comments on the use of “bedlam” and Adam says he sold everything he owns and now has only one car, he is going to drive it in races coming up.

Gina comments on Adam’s ‘Sophie’s Choice’ scenario.

 

Adam says there are lots of ways to get from A to B, this is what he wanted and he explains how he got “pregnant” with this car and he says you have to have enough positive experiences in your life to learn that you can choose.

Adam says Leno was there and told Adam that you never buy a car at auction “come on!” and Adam explains he knew this was his only chance to get it, it would be sold and shipped overseas and never return to this continent.

Adam is waxing poetic and making a lot of great points about life and living the life you want.

 

Castrol

 

They delay the BaldyWood segment.

 

3rd Caller James, he’s back and he wants to know about Adam’s mom admitting she was never much of a mother to him and her efforts to create a late in life bond.

Adam is now sharing a proximity and time spent together example, he uses neighbors and the varying relationships you have with people who have the title of neighbor, some you know and you see daily, some you never speak to.

BB says the fact Adam equates his family with neighbors is telling, Adam says they needn’t repair their never existing relationships, there is nothing there to make good.

 

Adam brings up his lack of things in common with his family, Adam brings up his friends who put on the big Beverley hills auto shows on Father’s Day, his dad doesn’t care for it and doesn’t want to hang.

Adam says they have nothing to get back to and no shared activities to substitute for a missing history and lacking bond.

Adam says the other part like the oil poisoning the kids, just announcing it’s bad and walking away doesn’t mean anything.

 

Adam’s mom announcing she was a bad mom and then moving on doesn’t mean anything.

James asks if Adam doesn’t forgive them as he has so little connection he doesn’t even hate them, BB and Adam both comment on his interest in thigs and Adam, pledges to do better with his kids.

BB teases his Hooray for BaldyWood, Adam saw the movie ‘Don’t Think Twice’ as well and highly recommends it, it took him right back to his good old days with ‘The Frayed Knots’ sketch group.

They head to break

 

They’re back from break

Adam asks Josh about ‘Buckcherry’ and their appearance on classic LoveLine back in 1999, he gets to their current tour and wants to know about the demographic of the crowds.
