Adam is plugging Rich Eisen’s podcast that he’s guested on, Adam loves doing the TV show with Rich and for those that don’t know he’s actually a classic Loveline guest from 2004.
Adam is now bringing up a recent fight and what he suggested, the NFL replay gimp, Rich has an immediate hilarious reaction to this idea, and Adam is giving the super abbreviated version, not focusing on the funniest elements from past variants of this story.
Rich is now waxing poetic on Adam’s NFL replay gimp idea, I think he’s heard this the last time he visited, possibly on his own show too if memory serves.

Adam’s on a killer riff about the noise as he sat “Don’t time your knocking things over with my ass hitting a stool… if I’m staring at an airplane and I sneeze and it starts spiraling to the ground, I’ll start running”.
Adam is now going off on the large production for his new show, asking how many vegetarians worked on the set and would be fucking up his lunches, Adam is now polling the audience after one volunteers the info.
Adam is now back to the days filming, he happened upon what appeared to be chili, Adam loves chili and doesn’t eat enough of it, averaging about a teaspoon per year, could do a bucket per year.
Adam is really going off on the vegetarian chili and the move he’ll be pulling for season 2, hilarious.
Adam is back to the on-set poll, he was betrayed by a carpenter/vegetarian who boldly ratted out the one other vegetarian guy who wasn’t there at the time.
30+ crew, 1 vegetarian and Alison is now asking Adam if he really forced someone else to tally all the workers. Adam was insulted along with his soy injury after finding goat cheese in the salad.
Rich and Alison have some nice comments and Adam is now sharing about the plate of rice Krispy treats he went sick on upon arriving home.
Adam is now asking if there is any better combination of ingredients that aren’t so great solo, rice krispies, butter and marshmallows.
Adam is offering to blow the man who invented the recipe in response to Alison’s’ question, nice work A- Rose, what a setup!
BB is now weirdly trying to get Adam to blow him, funny then gross.
Rich is still killing it with the dry one liners and Alison is helping Adam riff on a better level, this is alchemy!
Adam and Riff are riffing about Jewish guys in the rodeo, Rich is bringing Adam on to the idea that “you know you’ve arrived as a country, when you’re doing shit that other countries dread, for pleasure…”
