Adam and BB have some further fun over this topic and Adam mentions how BB has stepped up his improv game since taking classes recently, Adam says he’s been thinking about it all year and stepped up his game actively before ever entering the improv dojo.
Adam is making a point about quantifying relationships that end after 7years, he thinks the steeping process is nearly 13 months before the eventual split.

Classic Loveline #82 Mike Muir – 01/22/1996
Adam is comparing latter day DAG episodes and is re-creating the interview with Mike and commenting on how stilted and what a disaster it was to get out of the gate with that interview.
Adam says I will find it, I did already.
Adam thinks Riki Rachtman pulled this guy aside and had him tank the interview, which is quite possible as they are friends.
Adam says I will find the episode and they will play it, it’s there. They’re looking at a picture of Mike Muir and Adam brings up Elliott Gould, Adam teases an interview between Matt and Elliott.

Adam can’t recall what podcast he was talking about Ray on, Adam talks about how Ray chose to hang around with losers, and Gary says Ray was last on in August. I think Adam is trying to recall the most recent Reasonable Doubt episode where this same thing came up.
