Jo Koy is back in studio to further cement his ACS legendary guest status, Dawson has a slick intro and Adam is getting right to the business.

Adam is setting up “Tell Me Have You Seen Her?” by the “Chi-Lites” from 1971 for Bung Lau Su to audition for a spot in the group.

They’re playing the song and doing some light straight commentary over it, Jo is waiting to spot the falsetto portion of the song.

 

Jo has some light commentary on how Adam jumps right into things and now they’re doing a long form intro to the improv riff, Adam told Gary he’s always going to want to know the production year.

Bung Lao Su is now auditioning for the group, this is comedy gold!

Adam is in the mix and Alison has some nice reactions throughout, “Do I Get Job?” – Bung Lao Su

 

Bung’s offhanded Bruce Lee comment now has them all discussing the nature of his death and his son Brandon Lee, Adam is pondering the annual income of the Bruce Lee estate.

Jo is now in character as this fake agent character who represents Bruce and Bung.

Adam is trying to figure out how Brandon Lee died and BB has a weird comment about racism regarding the recasting for “The Crow II” he’s seemingly ignorant of the movie’s premise and the overarching theme that has nothing to do with a specific character or race, it’s a revenge premise.

 

Q and Ace

1st Caller Robert wants Adam to complain about the ever expanding Christmas shopping season.

Adam is telling all the ladies to watch out as he’s breaking out his plywood analogy regarding the ever decreasing measurements used to pinch pennies as a contrast against the incentive to increase the holiday shopping season.

Adam is sharing how the tip automatically tacked onto room service pisses him off and Alison has a point about wedding venues.

They’re really focusing on the car rental cost and Alison has a point about expense accounts, for the record whenever I rent on Adam’s dime I make sure to get all the discounts possible!

2nd Caller Carlos is trying to live up to Adam’s New Year’s Resolution of “Trying to Do Adam’s Best!” and has a complaint about coffee dependent people in his life.

Adam is sharing how he came up with “Do My Best” in the Matt Fondiler encounter, Adam is being super fair to Matt and says he loves him while citing the “effort counts the same as results” attitude of the current generation of young people.

 

Adam is now getting to the coffee and he’s mocking Mike Allier’s “melted Neapolitan mint chip ice cream” in a coffee cup.

Adam is going super in depth on this poor excuse for a cup of Joe and the lighter than flesh shaded hue, Jo has a hilarious “here is the people that I don’t like” reply for Adam’s statement to that effect.

Adam is mocking the decaf drinkers with Alison, good doofus voice work from both of them.

 

Adam is doing another live read.

 

3rd Caller Pete wants to know who Adam dislikes more, people who push their dogs around in a stroller or tether their kids to a leash.

Pete is coughing up what I assume is a bong rip and Adam is mocking the “kid lassos”, BB has a killer contribution and Jo is sharing how he never leashed his son.

Jo is giving his take on people who push dogs in a stroller and Adam says he agrees that dogs should be pulling us, he’s also sharing his “double decker cat stroller” find while reading some sky mall inflight.

 

They’re all now talking about the long lost scenes of people visiting elderly or informed family and friends at an old person’s home or mental illness hospital, BB has an excellent point shit that Adam chuckles away from.

Jo is now in character as “Black Lab” (As Coined by Adam) his sister character to “Brown Sugar” he’s riffing up a storm with Ace as an inquisitive man asking the dog about his life at home with his “white bitch owner”.

This is incredible, Ace Awards 2013 material for sure!

They’re wrapping up this incredible riff with a live read and some plugs for the new weekly regular Jo Koy!

 

Adam is now bringing up his improv mistake from last week, the “Brown Sugar” riff and the car stereo.

Jo is confirming he was setting that up and even noticed himself upon listening back to the episode, Adam and Jo both re-listened.

They’re being very honest and Adam is even mocking himself along with Jo, they’re now playing the clip of Adam’s rare blown improv move.

They’re wrapping it up with a sweet note about how good they are together, good stuff!

Alison’s News

Dana is commenting on how jealous she is of Alison’s news theme, someone fires up the other A-Rose theme about her childhood Lasagna nightmare.

Dana has a strange outraged reaction to the opening notes, it sounded like she was offended by the Italian music bed or presumed they had impromptu theme for her?

Alison quickly clears it up and smooth’s out the perceived misunderstanding before it even sticks, Alison and Adam have some nice praise for Mike Lynch and Rich Banks.

 

Her Top Story is on the reduced powers of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford and Adam is offering up his take on elections and governments.

Adam is giving his take on politicians and counting them as nothing more than mascots on a parade float and all the actual business is done behind the scenes.
