Alison is opening the show with a very rare late Adam Carolla not in time for the show, this happened one time on the morning show, maybe twice.
David Wild is in studio with Penn Jillette, David’s making his 49th appearance and Penn is making his 5th.
Alison is clearing up the Ringo Starr? On the schedule and now asking David about the Cee Lo case after BB makes a comment about David trying to get rid of the books.

Alison is now announcing that the formerly lost photos from Portland were found, the memory card was located inside of the town car, much as I predicted.
Penn is now asking Alison about Adam’s after show photo sessions, he’s trying to kind of take credit for spending more time with fans and using the fans personal cameras.
Alison is doing a great job of explaining how they do it but Penn feels like he’s pre-loaded and now he’s going into a plug for his new movie along with an explanation of the premise.
Adam actually always uses fan cameras on the road and very rarely employs the talents of local fans/photographers despite years of other fans pestering him to do so, because it can sometimes go wrong as it did in Portland.
So for record Adam does the exact same types of full meet and greets that Penn was describing he and Teller do.

Adam has a “was I that bad” quote from Michael that is almost as painful hearing 3rd hand as Adam described and now Adam is telling them about the cards for therapists that were given them to after being thrown off the show.
