Adam is teasing the live shows in Portland and Seattle, BB thinks that August is scheduling the live shows around good food and beer, Adam says August just needs free and quantity, not good like BB and his tastes.

Adam is now bringing up the “tire kicking” and “canary in the coalmine” or “Trial Balloons” that everyone uses to check in on their relationship status.
BB says he will call it out immediately and Christie does the same thing, Adam is explaining this is a little different, you might have said or done something.
Adam is now breaking down the hinting around the thing you may or may not have done, he says it’s like telling the cop about the beers in the backseat before he’s discovered them, he might not if you keep your mouth shut.

Alison didn’t even think of the “guy at work” factor and jokes about it being an auditory cuckolding, oh my god that makes it worse.
Adam is now saying that if he pictured his friends, loved ones or whomever he talks about intently listening to his show, it would stifle him, he can’t be honest and it would insanely alter his work, much like trying to honestly discuss your mom with your passenger in your car while your mom sits in the backseat.

Blah, Blah Blog
1st Blog – Roseanne Barr, Margaret Cho or Todd Glass?
Adam is now bringing up the Todd Glass benefit and how he did it without knowing the guy, he had a heart attack after smoking marijuana at a comedy club and not having proper insurance, so then other people had to raise money for his bills, Adam performed.

Alison wants to know how Adam knows that Todd talks shit about him constantly, Adam can’t come up with a source, but he just can’t remember, Todd was running up and down the aisles at Montreal when Andy Kindler gave his hate speech about Adam Carolla after bombing on the show in front of two different live crowds in two different parts of Los Angeles.
Alison is quizzing him still, he is saying he thinks he said as much on this podcast the last time he guested, yes.
Also Todd badmouths Adam on his own podcast and every other show that will have him, even sometimes leaving out Adam’s name and just talking about him and hinting.
