Adam is now explaining the premise of the film to Dameshek who has shockingly never seen it, Adam is riffing on James Woods performance.

Bryan has just revealed he has never seen the film either, Dameshek is giving an anecdote about Will Smith in Men In Black 3. Adam is explaining that Will Smith jumped the shark with the “Wild Wild West” and now Dave is chiming in with his take on remakes and the TV show of “Wild Wild West”.

They play the amazing clip from the commentary and Adam is now further selling Dave and Bryan on seeing this movie for the first time. Dave is now asking the gang about the worst movie death, Adam has a killer reply!

Bryan is giving another Film Vault anecdote, quickly explaining a ghoulish movie he recently had to watch. Adam is now earnestly backing up his initial reply to Dave with sound logic.

Adam is giving his theory on pain thresholds and injuries that max out your capacity to feel pain, comparing a chopped off finger to banging your bare toe into a metal bed frame. Dave is now chiming in and giving his argument.

 

Adam is now responding to a tweet that pissed him off, a fan reminded him of flavored cream cheese. Adam is now ranting about it in a similar way to how he rants about passion fruit iced tea. Adam is going super in depth and getting Shek to weigh in.

Adam is now on a tangent about watching football on Sunday with Bill Simmons, Cousin Sal, Dicky from the Bosstones, Dan Dratch and Nick Santora. He’s explaining they all did a 20min riff on “James Dean” by The Eagles, Bill Simmons brought up the show “2 Broke Girls” and the busty lead actress Kat Dennings. Adam is dismayed that several of the “internet/sports” nerds there had no idea topless photos of Kat leaked onto the internet a couple years back.

Adam is now explaining the same crew of guys didn’t notice the black collars that have been added to many NFL team uniforms, Dave is now ranting about people criticizing him for noticing uniforms. He’s explaining the reason for the uniform modifications to Adam.

He hates the attention and he hates the idea of using such a work of art for mundane tasks. Adam is explaining the super insulting “Just kicking it, huh?” exchange with the security guard from the hospital where his dad is staying to Dave.

Adam was at Kimmel’s and saw his son’s Mini Cooper, he asked Jimmy if he could drive it and got the go ahead as Jimmy’s son is out of town at college. Adam is now explaining he still has the downtrodden voice in his head that makes him fear that Jimmy would say no or have a bizarre set of rules to allow him to borrow it.

Adam is asking the gang to give their take, what they would do. Alison gets where Adam is coming from, Bald and Dameshek don’t quite get it and now Adam is explaining the “work of art” aspect of the car to them.

Dave is discussing the 2-3 days of tailgating they do in Buffalo and how he quizzed the team and cheerleaders and not a single person could tell him why they’re named “The Bills” Adam is recounting his trip to the Coors plant and the tour guide not being aware of “Smokey and the Bandit” when Adam was asking her why they had to bootleg the beer in that movie.

Dave quizzes Alison about the Bills, Adam is defending her for getting up in her head, explaining she probably knew the answer but it seems like a trick question, Dave hits up Dawson and he fires off a guess and is correct.

Dave is now talking about NFL replacement referees, Adam is explaining that every year he learns a new obscure rule in the NFL season and how it doesn’t quite make sense and is giving an example from the other night’s game.
