Show Page

Adam has a killer delivery of his “Get It On” and BB has a classic #TopDrop from the meth head mother and daughter callers from the 2006 KLSX radio version of the Adam Carolla Show.

BB is asking Adam about his burgundy shirt and Adam is admitting to spacing out Kimmel’s birthday, he’s calling it rich whitey’s nightmare.

Box of the month club is back in the mix thanks to Alison and BB is trying to make it all fancy and Adam is clarifying that it’s not about that.

 

Adam just revealed out can email boxofthemonth@adamcarolla.com and they’re actually working on it.

Adam is sharing how he told Kimmel about his plan, involving Spike Lee tweeting out the kids address from the JKL show.

Adam is explaining that Jimmy told him an anecdote of a family member actually mistaking Spike for an Asian man based on his name.

 

Adam is now getting to the pressing topic of the “thin drawer” and he’s comparing it to your tongue, trying to describe how the cards put in it can easily be lost as it doesn’t fully open.

Adam is asking what kind of gift to get for Kimmel after his gift had some sort of unforeseen delay.

Adam is sharing his plan for Jimmy, he’s telling the gang about his old car that Adam keeps at his other warehouse.

 

Adam was going to get the car all tuned up and detailed with a cover, is this his son’s Mini?

Adam found out his gift plan got taken care of a week ago, rendering his plan null and void, and hence delaying Kimmel’s gift.

Adam is thinking about a new set of tires for Jimmy’s car and Alison and BB are peppering in some light commentary.

 

Adam is now asking for the gang to file this under wildly unsatisfying, he’s sharing an anecdote of a conversation with his wife regarding a key left under the doormat(no don’t do that!).

Adam is now going over the process of them trying to figure out who might have misplaced the key and if there is any danger present bases on its absence.

Alison has a hilarious carpet ride comment as Adam suggests the notion of the key being stuck to the bottom of the mat and being told off by Olga and Lynette that they thoroughly checked the bottom and Olga says she even “shook the mat”.

 

Alison is saying she doesn’t get why one would shake a mat or claim to shake a mat, Adam is sharing how he was given the totally unsatisfying news about his correct assumption.

Adam is saying it’s never satisfying as everyone acts like its new news instead of telling someone they’re right, Adam is now going over the conversation and the refusal to give him credit.

Adam is suggesting why people don’t give it up, they’re trying to cut you off from the “emotional currency” of the win, so you can’t then carry that win over to the next argument lily pad.

 

Adam is bringing up the movie choice element among couples and how one person can use the choice of a bad movie for later emotional currency.

BB tries to use Adam’s “doesn’t make you happy or money” theory against Adam, Alison and Adam have to step in and correct him, nice backup from A-Rose!

Once again this all comes back to other people gaslighting Adam, telling him incorrect version of reality and Alison is suggesting Adam must cling to his hunches and he’s sharing why he can’t in the face of these fictions.

 

Alison is agreement that apologies and things of that ilk are never as satisfying as they should be, Adam is now explaining that the fabric of reality being torn is what upsets him.

Adam is explaining he’s not angry with Lynette and there doesn’t seem to be malice, the part that hurts him is the “huh, what?” in reply to Adam restating the “stuck under the mat” theory was his and was shot down by Lynette and Olga just a half hour prior.

Alison is even becoming upset with this and Adam is getting to people who “cock their no” like the airline employees who refuse to let him enter the airport lounges when they get on a “no roll” in regards to his various cards and premium frequent flyer status.

 

Alison just quoted “no roll” and now Adam is bringing up how people already decide what they want it to be, a continuation of the theme.

Adam is stating why his theory was invalid because they were on the track of “foul play” and now Adam is sharing how he got his pound of flesh from Olga, making sure to get her to set the record straight.

“Yessir Mr. Adam!”

 

Adam is now sharing his take on clinging to ideas and rejecting the suggestions of others, Alison says be more scientific and BB wants to know how often lost items are found in previously ransacked locations, they all agree more often than not.

Adam is taking it in more global direction so nobody can go tattle on him for being mean about his wife, he’s talking about all humans and being courteous of the wonderful Lynette.

You can hear more of this on episode #95 of the Adam and Drew Show and should be covered on an upcoming episode of the great For Crying Out Loud podcast which often serves as a nice counter point to the Carolla’s home life.

 

Adam is giving his new mind blower, he’s bringing up the grilled cheese sandwich and how American cheese is the best filling in that dish yet totally disgusting in a quesadilla.

Adam is mocking BB’s sneezing fit, he’s allergic to good common sense and has a funny reply, nice work BB!

Adam is trying to move on to something he’s noticed and BB wants to know about Kraft mac and cheese, Adam calls it the Twinkie of pastas and is fine with it as it’s “own thing”.

 

Adam is bringing up the “Brown Sugar/White Sugar” moment from the other night that bumped him, a moment where he screwed up during the improv.

Jo was trying to take the premise somewhere and Adam didn’t go along with Jo’s “yes and” premise because he was too full of his own head of steam, he’s now calling this a “teachable moment” for himself.

Adam is explaining the car stereo mistake and playing the clip, Adam is now predicting where Jo was going with the improv and is sharing a stolen car stereo scenario, oooh!
