Harland Williams and Rich Eisen
Podcast: Play in new window
Show Summary
At the top of the show, Adam takes a call from Rich Eisen. The guys talk about the recent touchdown debacle in the NFL, and what the refs should have done. Adam also shares his unique view of how play reviews should be handled in the future. Adam then gives updates on his Dad’s health, rants about a dirty water fountain he came across, and explains what it all means for society.
Next up, Adam welcomes Harland Williams back to the show. They talk about Harland’s MMA parties, and Adam tries to get him to do more bird noises. Harland then asks Adam about his recent appearances on Bill O’Reilly’s show, and the guys complain about the power of Hi-Def television. Adam also rants about the corrective helmet that the doctors wanted to Sonny to wear.

“Fox News Contributor”
Hoo boy, some folks ’round these parts ain’t gonna like that.
Sarah Palin is also a “Fox News Contributor”. Not much of a distinction.
what does that say about them that they’d let affiliation with a center-right news outlet sway their opinion of somebody they’ve come to respect enough to listen to? That’s a mark of a weak minded group thinker IMHO.
Center-right? lulz
Far off the map right you idiot.
Exactly, because NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, and CNN are the exact “center,” which is why Fox is so far “right”? I love how left-wingers always seem to think that their views are the “center” and “mainstream.” I guess that’s why Fox News shows always DOMINATE in terms of total viewership…because they are so far outside of the “mainstream”….?
GET IT ON !
You”ve been hacked.
…..more offended by “Hoo Boy” .
What language is that? Drunk Hick? or “Trailer Park Meth Addict”?
I believe it’s dialect of hack-comedian…
His bit about angry birds in the park sounded like something he bought from Bill Dwyer, and that’s not a good thing.
Should’ve just stuck with Eisen.
What’s going on with your father almost died last month
again update us old man Corolla randomly 2mins at the end of a show a six months from now? Right Old Man Carolla
He did. listen up you little puke!
Uh, dude, this month he’s mentioned his dad’s situation at least five times, and that includes today’s podcast.
Oooff..I wonder if there’ll be bird sounds. Look, if the option is Harlan, just do the show without a guest.
He was actually really funny today, and refused to bird. When I’m wrong, I say I’m wrong.
Two of my favorite guests in one show–looking forward to listening to this one
my mood improved 50fold when i saw who was going to be in my headphones this morning!
I once took a dump in a drinking fountain at the police station. I heard someone coming and had to pinch it off and it did get a bit messy in my shorts. TOTALLY WORTH IT
That was you?
Harland was so funny.. I laughed out loud while listening at work a few times.. when he started talking about face braces I lost it!
Best drop of the month: Bryan plays the sax riff from Pulp Fiction when Adam suggests using the Gimp to decide NFL booth reviews
Hells yeah! I totally lost it at that part! XD
One may posit that Gestalt principles of form perception are contributing to Adam’s bizarre physical appearance on O’Reilly (and in general): The Law of Closure describes our tendency to visually fill in pieces of objects or outlines that are not, in fact, complete (or are broken up). So when we view Adam’s pre-Bond Connery-like eyebrows under stark studio lighting conditions (or any other lighting condition, for that matter), our visual cortex tends to fill in the conspicuous gap above his nose, thus synoptically reforming the renowned Corolla unibrow…despite its surgical removal. The fact that Adam’s parents most likely refused to encourage the wearing of his own corrective helmet during adolescence doesn’t help his appearance either!
cool story, bro
You’re a douche.
Thank you.
Adam looks like Pink Floyd’s Mother.
Also…Can we get Harland and Ray on the same episode?
I was thinking about that. They’re my two favorite guests, if you count Ray as being a guest, because they irritate Adam and his responses are very amusing.
I think Adam’s head would explode.
Yay it’s Harland! you and long lost Andy Dick are my favorite Carolla guest.
Dude, trust the doctors! I can see from the photo that your boy needed the helmet. One of my friends had a little girl that had to have one too – it works! It’s critical to do while their little skulls are still SOFT. You would still love your kid even if his head was bent like a freaking squash – trust the doctors. He was probably squished in the belly (having to share that small space with his sister).
duh.
Eh, looks fine to me.
Btw, adam’s rant on the uprights in football… so true. Did he even mention the Pats-Ravens game? Perfect case in pt. there.
I have come up with stopping ppl tagging everything in LA. Hire a crew of snippers who wear black at night and dress as homeless in the day. These snippers are armed with tranquilizer guns. These snippers armed also with cameras for legal purposes find graffittii fuckers, tape them and then put them to sleep with a flurry of darts. And what happens when they wake up?? They wake up without testicles. Oh they have small rubber balls where there balls are but no testicles.
Snipper would have scissors. I think you mean snipers.
Did you read the part about the balls?
Snipe, snap, and snip … It’s the law.
Snippers.
Robert,
I think he meant snipers, too, but snippers actually works!
Great show.
You should have Mike Rowe on.
Harland is always awesome on the show.
Harland is a terrible fucking guest. Is he that insecure that he has to step on every one of Adam’s funny lines? I don’t know whose cock he sucked to get famous. Please stop having him on.
Agreed. Harland’s jokes were terrible. Every one of them fell flat. “How about leaving the jokes to Adam.”
Agreed.
ACE, get the F*** OFF Fox Noise!
Awesome show. ACE was on his game and Harland is always a joy.
Why, so he can go on the Communist News Network
As a person who is known to enjoy a dip of the cope from time to time, I have NEVER put a spent lipper in the drinking fountian. Just because I enjoy a cope does not mean that everyone else has to. What the hell is wrong with people!!!!!!!
On the baseball field is the only place where you’re allowed to ditch your lipper on the field. Not the dugout floor, not the drinking fountain, not on the bench. Someone needs to be cained for dumping their spent cope in a hospital fountain. Ick!
pavement-pounders represent!
Jaysis, that water fountain is horrific! Even if homeless guys were using it to wash up, I’d expect it to be cleaner.
Just goes to show my old motto of never going to the hospital leads to a healthy, happy life!
I get the feeling that’s the last time Harland’s going to be on
This grey background is terrible. It is hard to read the comments.
And fuck all you guys that don’t like Harland. He is awesome.
harland reminds me of a gay slingblade…..but gayer….
I miss Dr Spaz. He’s not been on lately.
Guests like that make me think comedy isn’t really that tough.
If you’re going to call yourself Mr Writing III, at least learn to get the fucking tense right!
I actually had to defend a mans looks last night when my wife told me “he (Adam) looks like a monster”. He does look terrible on Fox, but looked fine on the celebrity apprentice.
Harland came out swinging .He had me laughing maniacally and he made alison squeal which I love …I think the headbraces are needed.The reason you never saw them growing up is because it’s new technology…you don’t want your kid to have a peanut head…
They need to put birth control in trailer propane tanks,grape soda,and refried beans…..and in green tea to stop all those hollywood broads from crapping out kids like hotcakes with various hipster geeks….
Anyone who doesn’t like Harland has no soul.
Harland had me laughing more than any of the other guests they’ve had on recently.
Harland gets the flow of the show. And Adam ain’t that ugly. For a retarded Sampras.
plz plz plz NFL
hire the Aceman
i cant hang w/ Harland’s way too immature humor.
I needs a Larry Miller update!
Love the show! Would love to see the addition of an online Soundboard featuring all of the show’s famous sounds. Thanks again for an awesome way to cope with my 1 1/2 hr Commute to Atlanta.
Adam is complaining to a guy thats employed by the NFL!
Rich is cool but he isnt going to rock the boat!
The NFL has an element of being staged to me.
Too many subjective rules and penalties
Adam was on the something when he said the rules are different in the last 2 mins (ie NBA)
I always found it odd that these historic last drives are always penalty free when flags were flying for three and a half quarters
Fox News over saturates colors on their feed, so a white face and dark hair wearing a black suit with a white shirt against a purple background while sporting Muppet eyebrows looks funny, like a girdle infomercial.
Other people have mentioned this, and I think they’re right.
the irony is that adam’s kids DO need head braces. they have salamander eyes that Harland joked about
Kids change dramatically and are blessed/cursed with their parents and grandparents genes.
Looking at the photo of Adam – his dad – his son and Ray, you can see the family resemblance. You can also see Lynette’s facial feature’s also.
The kids will probably end up looking more like their Mother.
Not cool to not acknowledge that we all go through “stages” that may look odd – but then work themselves out.
My daughter had facial features like me (her Dad) until ten years of age – and then she transformed into her Mother / Grandmother’ s facial features when they were young.
You really do not want “normal – adult looking” kids , because they usually look bizarre when they get older.
Peace Out
It’s true, I’ve seen a couple of vids on youtube and Adam looks absolutely hideous. Btw, how come the cast won’t play in a new window? I’m using FF.
Funniest quote by Adam a couple “Harlands” ago: It must be nice to not make sense and still be funny. LOL
BTW how tall is Harland anyway? He looks to be like 6’5″ judging from that picture, which is odd and alarming to me
Yeah, l often chuckle the same time Alison does a laugh/squeal or muted snort. She knows the funny bits that’s for sure.
Thank you Adam Carolla, Harland Williams, Rich Eisen, supporting cast and crew.
Harland is actually funny compared to a lot of guest.
Yeah, I strongly disagree every time Adam starts going on with his eugenics stuff, but I’m not going to be dick about it. Take that, internet commenters.
Well if nothing else Harland looks gooooooood.
I too did a double take when Adam was on O’F. First the lofty title and second the warmed over corpse effect. All he needed was some stick-on neck bolts and voila! Illusion complete. O’Reilly is not a looker himself so the show is probably lit to make Mr O’ as flattering as possible and to hell with rest of you. Plus the camera angle is head-on for guests which flattens them out while Mr O’ gets a slight diagonal which gives him dimension. I guess thems the perks of being the host.
Adam could use this lighting controversy to sell some of those LED bulbs he uses in the studio. He looks just fine in his studio under the LEDs.
ALWAYS love when HW comes on, but this episode was particularly awesome. I kept rewinding it a few seconds going, “What did he say? I can’t BELIEVE he said that …” When he admitted to infesting his ManGrate with roaches, he follows it up with, “so I mailed it to Florida” in an effort to rescue the ad … OMG I picture Adam just completely losing his mind “off air” at everyone.
LOVED the show. Thanks guys!
Oh no, not more Harland Williams. Why persist with such a terrible guest? Who’s next? More Bai Ling?
Awful awful work by August.
Harland is an annoying moron who has NEVER been funny. I’m not even listening to this one. PLEASE, bring in Porcelain Punisher, Ray, a stranger off the sidewalk, or no one. Fucking hate HW!!
Oh God, No….. Natalia has Adam’s nose.
BTW He was looking especially ugly on O’Reilly. Really amping up the ugly old white guy factor with that visit.
What did the Great Greg Giraldo say? “Adam looks like Pete Sampras’s retarded cousin”
technically it was “…like Pete Sampras with down syndrome”
Harland is already fugly. Whay would he want to make himself even fuglier with that face?
Why no bird calls? Why?
Pull-ups @ 6 years old? Huh? I was toilet trained @ 2. Is this the standard today? I wonder if Harland wears pull-ups and a helmet?
A doctor should tell Lynnette that it’s not normal for 6-year-olds to pee their bed & need to wear pull ups.
What about the EGREGIOUSLY bad call of PI on the Seahawks that gave the [fudge] Packers that TD?! OR the HORRIBLE call where baby-punching, cry-baby Aaron Rodgers CLEARLY did not have a first down?!! What about that?! OH NO! It’s Seattle so NO ONE brings up those awful calls!
Adam, do you not know ANYONE whose glasses fit wrong? I do! No one is symmetrical, and a lot of people’s sunglasses fit oddly. I can’t figure out if it’s my eyebrows or ears that are uneven, but my sunglasses always look uneven on my face. We all grew up with misshapen heads, no big deal!!
How the F did Adam marry a woman with absolutely no common sense or work ethic?!
