Greg Fitzsimmons and David Wild
Show Summary
Adam opens the show discussing Sonny & Natalia’s t-ball game. Adam shares his frustrations about Sonny not wearing his team hat, and complains about kids not being afraid of their parents anymore. He also rants about a commemorative award where his name was spelled wrong, and online comments that pissed him off. David Wild is also in studio, and talks with Adam about some songs you probably don’t know, but should.
Greg Fitzsimmons joins the podcast next, and the guys commiserate over how crappy LA is for getting a crowd to see your comedy show. They joke about performing in Colombia, and discuss the violence and prostitutes in the city. Greg and David also talk about a project they were working on together a while back, and Adam jumps in to reminisce over crappy producers.
In the last part of the show, the guys jump to the phones to take your relationship calls. Adam speaks with a caller who wants to know about abuse victims, and another who is considering getting into porn. They also talk with a caller dating a girl with three kids from three dads. As the show wraps up, Greg recalls almost getting into a fight in Mexico, and Adam discusses getting harassed in the Hollywood Hills.

KATIE’S DAILY PODCAST DRAWING
mother of the animal kingdom

LOL, Katie went with the “safe” White Trash turtle.
Well to be fair the studies haven’t been conclusive on whether sea turtles are White trash welfarers or Black welfarers. The science is not settled!
We’re all just turtles, man. I don’t see shell color.
well draw what you know right?
I’m going to play those lotto numbers this weekend.
Hey Ace! Was this the Pathfinder that was driving like an asshole? Its got a ding on the left side of the back door. It’s right up the street from your old house.
http://g.co/maps/v4m6q
Wow, nice find. Someone needs to burn that particular part of Adam’s rant to CD and leave it on the windshield
Wow…this guy could be Adam’s least favourite person. Someone with the same name as the owner of that property also posted the following:
“WHY would you promote garden sound systems? As a Hollywood hills resident, I have to endure neighbors’ music at all hours. With the Hollywood Bowl effect, garden music from half a block away sounds like it is just outside my windows.
Even in the flatlands, imagine the cacophony if every house on the block had an outdoor sound system.
Considerate people do not play music outdoors.”
David Wilde is a great guest, my only beef was that he wrote a book with C-Lo. C-Lo is a hack that blatantly steals other peoples songs.
What R&B group/performer doesn’t sample? Or are you being a joking jokester?
Short people got, no reason…
I used to enjoy Adam’s rants on how much radio music sucks, but then he had to go and ruin it by playing the generic, boring, instantly forgettable songs he does like. Now every time he starts talking about music, he sounds like a food critic who loves dodger dogs.
I totally agree with that. His music is so bland and unexciting. Some of the music he talks about being terrible is actually terrible but not all of it. His view of music doesn’t really go much further than his own interests and everyone else must be crazy and tasteless. It’s one of the few things I don’t like about this show any more.
His taste in music IS horrible! He is right about some bad music, like house and what not, but some things he doesn’t like are just wrong. But at least that’s still personal preference, not taste exactly. The Crap he actually plays on here is sooooo bad, yet he says once anyone hears it they will immediatly love it, they just need the chance to have him force it on them. He is so wrong. It is such bad music.
Active musician here to join in. I Completly agree with Adam the genre stations always plays the worst .Also i agree with his music.
You must be a shitty musician.
I agree with Adam 98.5% of the time…but his taste in music is not one of them. He is about the same age as the guys from Guns N Roses and they played all over Hollywood back in the day and I don’t recall him mentioning ever going to see them…very disappointing.
Gotta agree. I accidentally found myself at a John Hyatt concert a few years back (I thought he was opening for the Mississippi All-Stars; turns out it was the other way around) and Hyatt is just vanilla, safe, dentist-office background music that middle & upper class white folk dig. Not terrible, but just kinda blah…
“vanilla, safe, dentist-office background music that middle & upper class white folk dig.”- that is the most perfect description of Hyatt’s music! At my former place of work they would play this song of his where he sang the line: ‘you got kids-a, and-a I got kids” in the most geriatric way. It always made me chuckle.
Absolutely agree. Adam listen to some Pixies, Love and Rockets, Jimi Hendrix – Winterland especially, Primus, and Les Claypool’s Frog Brigade – Live Volume One. You will be amazed at the talent.
When he mentioned that he liked ‘Walking on Sunshine’ by Katrina and the Waves, I knew I was totally right when I thought his take on music was totally fucked out.
That has to be the WORST. FUCKING. SONG of my childhood, and I was 12 years old when that song came out.
what are the chances Donald Trump feels slightly silly for firing Adam Carolla for not having enough racing credentials for that weeks task?
The Alison Rosen rapid fire drops at the beginning of the show was just classic. Imma want more of that.
I much prefer the drops to the live presence. She actually interrupts professional comedians (including Adam) to try and out-funny them! She should stick to doing the news and stay in the background the rest of the time.
She interrupts because she’s funny. She’s shit sharp.
I missed Alison on this episode! Bryan’s drops were really great and well-timed.
Bout time the pirate ship threw some dead weight overboard!
I was literally ROTFL. Bryan is awesome.
Hearing Adam say “Steven Jobs” is like hearing a grandparent say “The Google.”
Not that he’s totally wrong, but will anyone point out that he went by Steve?
I agree wholeheartedly!
Me and Dennis Prager, Me and Drew, Me and Jimmy. Don’t we have bigger fish to fry when it comes to Adam Speaking? Me are going to lunch now…
He also calls it “The Family Guy” which drives everyone crazy.
Don’t forget how he says “Warm Leatherettes” and how every word that ends in an “it” sound he ends with an “id” sound (e.g. favorite, favorid)
I just bought Bible Belt on Itunes. thanks David Wild for tuning me on to Diane Birch.
Ace, you guys should think about doing a music podcast once a week with Wild.
No.
I’d like to give Diane my Birch, that’s a keeper May Man, Yuk! Yuk!
You guys should get Phil Hendrie as a guest.
AceMan,
CNBC just did one of their “the more you know” commercials on inflating your tires to save gas!!! They’re listening!!!
I find it funny that there’s a picture of the Scion models to illustrate how someone misspelled something when the correct spelling was just a few inches away and then 3 pictures to the right is a marquee that spells “Spreckels” but is captioned “spreckles”. Same premise.
yea but still
Ha ha, good catch. Of course Adam would say that was one of his “half-tard” employees though.
Agreeing with his point and sharing his tastes are two different things.
Thanks to technology, we don’t need to listen to that shit ever again.
Try this great station: http://kdhx.fm/betaplayer/live.php
Victoria Williams is great BTW.
Where can/any chance I can get one of those mini Scion’s? (Complete with misspelling)
I can’t be the only fan of the Aceman that think that’d be a cool thing to stick on the shelf.
Remind me again – which of Elvis Costello’s songs were critically acclaimed?
If I knew David Wild was there I would have called in! I was watching some you tube videos of Guns N Roses jamming backstage back in the day and I swear David Wild was there. Plus, I want to know if Adam even ran into GnR or the Crue back in the day…after all, he is about their age and they were all in Hollywood at the time.
Chances are some of Adam’s cronies sold G&R dope back in the day… just a guess
Would not surprise one bit…
Adam and Lynette do not seem like they are on the same page on a lot of things. Maybe its just the few things he talks about on the show though. Thanks Adam and Co.!!!
David Wild is a great guest, super funny. Also I love me some Fitzdog. Good pod!
Bald is good!
The only thing left that you guys need to make “Virtual Alison” complete is a drop of her going “awww”.
Great show!!! Missed Alison though…
best podcast I have ever heard. and I know, I have been to the mountain (ah)…
If you guys are going to have callers – CAN YOU PLEASE POT THEM UP SO WE CAN HEAR THEM!!!!!!
I am tired of turning my volume up and down and blowing out my eardrums when I have it cranked up high to hear the caller and then I hear someone in the studio talk
… and while they are at it, turn up the volume on Bryan’s mic (or ask him to get closer to the mic).
Bryan comes up with some really great lines, hate to miss them.
Bryan’s off mic reactions are priceless. That’s just sounds he makes though and not actually anything he’s saying.
agreed. i’m always having to rewind and crank the volume to hear bryan’s wisecracks.
damn it, Sonny is so fucking cute!
Do you want to take him on a camping trip?
Adam is right about the radio programming however his personal taste in music is very bland and boring.
Also I think David wild would make a better newsgirl.
He doesn’t step on jokes and has interesting stories.
PS sorry about the honking incidents…
J. “White Pathfinder” Kimmel
as a non Jew, I went to the prayer show in redondo. It was filled with Jews, and all I got was carollas goto jokes and stories. As non Jew and avid podcast listener and old love line listener who remembers the thong song being premiered on loveline, the prager carolla conversations are great, when carolla speaks.

this page is filled with double posts
Tears were literally coming from my eyes when Adam and Greg were doing their homoerotic fighting dialogue. Instantly classic!
Totally agree. That type of ad-lib stuff (like the DAG live read shit) is hands down the funniest bits they do on here.
I agree whole heartedly
line of the day: “2 turntables and a kaiser roll.” gold adam, gold!
Teresa should fill in on the days Alison’s gone!
++no
how bout the Wild man actually gets some of the people on the show that he keeps bringing up…
Dude, he already got Chris Isaak, who was a spectacular guest. Who knows, there may be a number of people he has already got on the show that they simply haven’t explicitly talked about coming from his connections.
oh right!! Loved Chris Isaak!
David Wild is a fantastic guest. Love his endless knowledge, quick wit and rapport with Adam. Get this guy his own weekly podcast on the Ace Network! Similar to Car Cast or Ace on the House. Would be so popular and bring a whole ‘nother fan base to the network. Keep up the great work!
I agree wholeheartedly!
Having Teresa Strasser and David Wild come on as weekly regulars is fantastic for the show – such segments were of the best aspects of the old radio show. David Wild Deep Cuts – it just needs a theme song!
If you are looking for a deep cut, try out Vampires by the Meat Puppets (band that played with Nirvana during their famous unplugged set; played their song Lake of Fire).
Love ya Ace Man, but your taste in music is not good. I agree with some of the things you don’t like but some of the stuff you like is just bland and boring.
Oooooooh man Greg Fitzsimmons is a tough guy, ANOTHER story of him almost fighting a stranger with no witnesses. That NEVER happens.
Oh wait, no, change never to always.
David Wild, count me as a fan. Great story-teller. Great music insight – you directed me to Diane Birch, who I expect you’re talking about today. Always glad when you’re on.
Dear God. Homoerotic shit talking literlly made me pull a muscle in my back I’m laughed so damn hard. Amazing.
Adam so if adults respond to a hit in the paycheck and not talking like your gardener, you think your kid will do better? Good luck with that. Spanking is not abuse. A boy should be a little scared of his dad.
David Wild looks like a sack of wet oatmeal in a t-shirt, and he’s about as interesting as one too. In the future, please remove him from all photos, and replace him with a jew I can tolerate looking at, like Alison. Although, I think Wild has bigger breasts.
How bout you leave the joking to Adam.
David Wild, count me as a fan. Great story-teller. Great music insight – you directed me to Diane Birch – ironically on a Fitz Dog podcast, who I expect you’re talking about today. Always glad when you’re on. next time you’re on give love to Lyle Lovett.
Adam….its just STEVE JOBS,,,,and FAMILY GUY…not THE Family guy
Missed Alison, but the drops almost made up for her not being there.
Loved the homoerotic threat-off between Adam and Greg…I can’t remember the last time that I laughed so hard that I could not catch my breath!
I’m a fan of the podcast. The content is great but the production side of things could be a bit better, especially when it comes to audio levels… they’re all over the place. It’s very noticeable when songs are played. The levels are so low you can barely hear the song, despite Adam’s on-going “turn it up”. I know there is a fear that the songs will drown out the on-going commentary but that’s nothing to be worried about (it’s part of the learning curve). In my opinion, when Adam wants us all to listen to a song then the levels should be as loud as Bald Brian’s audio drops with a slight decrease in levels when Adam is providing commentary during the song.
When I heard the Adam “breathing incident” I knew you were playing around with compression (that will suck up sound like a shop vac if you’re not careful) but it did display that you’re at least trying to make the show sound better… and for that I thank you.
Dawson smokes a lot of weed
Dude.
Wild is a good man.
I like the Red Sox cap.
Love, love, love me some david wild on the podcast.
Great show Aceman. Great business model. Your a pioneer.
Keep it up.
Big “A” lost some music critic luster with his love of the Hansons!!!
Hanson were great when the were on the podcast.
Virtual Alison was hilarious. Wonder if BB could muster up some virtual DFG? Hell, I’d really like to hear some real DFG.
If you had David Wild and Teresa as weekly regulars it would really build the show. Great great idea.
David Wild is REALLY, REALLY starting to sound like that guy in the bar who swears he has access to free football tickets to share,but…..never seems to come thru. He’s promised enough music guests for a month’s worth of shows. I guess there was Chris Isaak…..if that was D Wild’s doing, but what about Joe Walsh?
Maybe Mark McGrath can swing by and just “say” it was because of D Wild just to help his record a little, because now it’s 1 and 28.
sounded great this week and you guys were hilarious — excellent show.
Missing the Alison!
I hate it when they get so filthy, who thinks that is funny?
paint the AC switch blue! it’s making my ADD go nuts!!
Freaking love David and Greg. I got a real kick out of the podcast this morning!
It’s been over a month and still the biggest bust out laughing segment for me is DAG during the no swearing godaddy/ amazon ad block. I get over replaying this, I need a board certified addiction specialist to help me cope.

Adam, I think it would be great if twice a week you had a listening party segment. You pick a song twice a week by a band we should have been listening to instead of the crap pop shit we’ve all been programmed to pick out “enthusiastically” to impress some other lower common denominator music listener.
I am pissed when some rock DJ talks about “the day” and people they met when the station’s bullshit format only allows them to play that music only when the real legends of music when someone dies.
Thank you.

Adam’s live shows aren’t as good as the studio shows and I don’t listen to Greg’s podcast all the time but I would be first in line if they toured together, they’re goddamn hilarious- ‘helicopter my balls!’ I fell off my chair laughing.
There’s an alternative to radio that allows someone to listen to their own music. It’s a new technology called a “CD”.
Mr. Carolla:
-Lovin’ the David Wild music talk. Please step up the music education for us all! Tell us the music we SHOULD be listening to. Talk over the music and the musicians with your usual brand of nasally talk. Teach us what is bad and why. Do us all a favor and make it a regular segment, or better yet, make it a weekly podcast!
-Play Dawson’s music. I want to hear his story.
-DO IT!
Brilliant. Just brilliant.
David, you’re awesome. F**k the haters.
Doing a great job! I was happy to hear Theresa. Thanks for fixing that mic issue, Admirable of you to address it straight away. CONGRATS ON THE WIN, BRAH!
I would have captioned the photo ‘David Wild and Greg Fitzsimmons’ or reversed the photo but I may be wrong – maybe Greg got fat and grew hair.
BTW – don’t call Theresa babydgirl – Allison probably thought that was her own pet name.
Shows always great – thank you
Loved Adam and Greg trading homoerotic threats, they really hit their stride.
David Wild is a great addition to the show. His sense of timing is amazing for someone who is a writer by trade. If only the newsgirl had 5% of his timing.
Finally, the way a podcast should be: a couple of people just shooting the shit and not worrying about time limits or a fucking stupid interview. Easily teh best podcast in recent memory from the aceman. Ever since the format switch things have really gone downhill.
I especially hate it when they bring in really unfunny guests and Adam just mails it in. When he first started this was a past time, now it’s a job and he seems to hate it. Today reminded me of the first few months of teh podcast. Great show.
The picture of David, Ace and Greg look like the new 3 stooges. (David: Curly; Ace: Moe; Greg: Larry)
nyuk nyuk nyuk
“best of without the baggage” Adams words .
“best of without the baggage” Adams words .
david , leave the comedy to the professionals .thank you
This was a great show and I LOVE David and Greg and am a big fan. I love the way the show is always changing and growing and the new guests that are coming in. Good job guys.
I agree with Adam on just about everything except music, Adam has the worst fucking taste in music.
Thanks for introducing to Diane Birch. Good stuff Wild man!
Adam likes muzak……enough said
The “guy dude bro” talk cracks me up every. damn. night. Keep up the good work!!
The comments from the auto blog were pretty weak. Not a decent slam amongst them. Not that they should even be trying, a win is a win. Adam deserves his moment in the winner’s circle.
Music of the 80’s: E. Costello, J. Jackson, The Pretenders…the examples given, all their first albums, technically came out in the 70’s.
Seriously, bitchin’ about music is like being Goldilocks…other people other taste…how can you argue favorite colors with other people?
Sigh….. another Adam’s best music ever list of Hiatt, Joe Jackson, & Parker just makes me like them even less when forced to listen to them. Kind of like that dude that cranks up something you’re not into and then keeps asking for approval of their music choices.
On FIRE today, Alison! Never been funnier!!! LOL
I’m liking David Wild, always solid. Fitzsimmons remains creepy, gross, rarely funny, and annoying when does his tough guy bragging. And Adam mentions his fight story for the 1000th time.

Okay, we get it, you like The Pretenders, Elvis Costello, Graham Parker and Joe Jackson. Now shut the fuck up about it and move on!!!
Start of the show, prime example of a wife having already undermined dad to the point of a disobedient child in a public manner. Not too cool. A common problem these days unfortunately.
Good show. Actually helps me decompress hearing another guy being frustrated.
as mentioned many times, that homo-erotic trash talk was absolute gold. A perfect example of why podcasting is so popular -traditional tv and radio simply does not allow two extremely fnny guys carte-blanche to just sit there and be as filthy as they want. Helicopter balls!
The homoerotic thing was the funniest thing I’ve heard in a long time. Played it three times and then played it again for my husband.
Was listening to this episode in my car on my way to work today and was stunned to hear Adam play a Victoria Williams’ song from her Loose album. I truly thought I was one of a handful of people who owned this album and really loved it. Who knew Adam had such good taste in music?
I generally agree with many of Adams selections concerning his taste in music and what gets played on the radio and satellite radios 80s station, but every time I hear Walking on Sunshine I want to puke. That is the worst fucking 80s song EVER played on the radio or anywhere for that matter. That song is the epitome of NO taste. Everything that group ever did SUCKS!!!
If there was ever one song I wish would never get played, I wish it was that one. Its HORRIBLE
