Joel McHale
Podcast: Play in new window
Show Summary
Adam recalls meeting Joel McHale back in the day, and predicting that he would become a major star. He and Joel then talk about the latest with the series Community, which Adam says he saw on a plane this weekend. He also complains about a terrible movie he was forced to watch while flying, and talks with Joel about their kids needing helmets for their misshapen heads.
Adam then talks with Joel about the history of The Soup, and Joel can’t believe he’s been on the show since 2004. The guys start talking about surgery, and Adam recalls the time he dislocated his shoulder while playing football. Joel also talks about his own football experiences, and how he got there after years of rowing on crew. As the show wraps up, the guys take a look at Adam’s GPA, and discuss whether or not you actually need a diploma to succeed.

First! Love the show ACEMAN.
Always great to hear from Joel. Black eye or what?
Hat Shadow
new drinking (by yourself) game, take a shot every time adam mentions seth macfarland or alec baldwin…
He’s going to be fisting you with a handfull of sand!!! Hahahahahahaha Awesome!
Yeah Joel. Looking forward to this podcast.
“Pull up Erik Kramer’s imdb.” Classic, Ace.
Love Joel GET IT ON
OMG the taller, funnier more handsome than Ryan Seacrest Joel McHale. GET IT ON! Everybody have a Happy Turkey Day.
Please tell me that Pudi & Glover are Besties in real life too.
Fuck Yea
Ha! ‘Beat-off Sweat Lodge’ would be a great band name.
Great, finally, McHale is back on the show. Community might be my favorite show.
I wish Bryan was there for this one.
Damn you people for not watching Community!
Such a great show, NBC better bring it back.
Love me some Joel! Btw, am I not the first ‘Dave’ here on ACS?!
Where is DAG?
less joel mchale and more wing bowl dammit!
NOTHING!
I never got my high school diploma because of fines either..75 bucks for a piece of paper, don’t think so.
Great show. Would’ve liked to have seen Allison swooning over Joel, however.
Funny. Joel Mchale doesn’t stop by to the podcast at all when 97.1 went down. Now with his show “Community” on stand by, Joel happens to make a visit to the podcast. hmmmmm??? Does anybody else think this is strange. He can’t come by while he’s big to say what’s up. Only when his show get’s shit canned he makes a visit.
Funny, Tony, I think it’s strange you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Joel stopped by the podcast once if not twice when the podcast first got going.
What number is Adam in the 1973 Trojans photo?
My guess is #70.
if i had to guess I’d say 61 or 42
“It’s called a crew”. Yuck…yuck…yuck.
pretty fucking good pod. thank god alison wasn’t there to do her lame “i don’t watch sports” shtick.
good god damn podcast. finally the long awaited reunion of the 2 funiest people alive. thanks ace and crew.
Wow, 497 out of 570. Dennis Prager has a joke that he graduated in the top 90% of his class. So did Adam.
Awwwwwwww, look at the boys, all smiley and such. So happy to be together.
LONG LIVE “COMMUNITY”!
This was one of my favorite episodes. you guys are obviously friends and have a lot in common. Great show!
“acpblog” tries to auto-complete to naacp, which is not what I wanted.
Too much white-space on the site, BTW. It feels like a hospital. I’m not that bright.
8km of optical fiber coiled in a calibration lab vs. 8km of optical fiber straight down the shaft to a neutrino detector. You would think the distance would be different considering the internal reflection (each bounce adds a mm or so). And cumulatively, maybe an 18m distance — the equivalent of 60ns?
I call horseshit on that one.
Adam, You and Joel give great Pod! Joel, Community is hilarious, cant wait to see you in Seth’s film!
ACE, You mentioned dislocating your knee, and I remembered from a story you told from your radio show — the night you tore your knee-up, after your pick-up game, you didn’t HELP your knee by you and Donny lugging that diner-booth back from behind the Blah-Blah Cafe, and pushing it up the stairs! You compared the swelling-size to a casaba melon!
Get it on!

Ever work for someone who tells you, “if you fall, you’re fired before you hit the ground” ?
adam schooled joel on the bullshit helmet?
California only required 1 year of math during the seventies. I was never offered algebra and did’nt know what any of that funny writing was, when I graduated. Same thing with what a gpa means or taking the SAT’s.
I’ll bet Allison was PISSED she couldn’t be there.
funny hearing ace talk about how he did in school. all they cared about was getting kids in school to get their numbers in to get paid and passing them along to get new kids in to get more money.
Joel, next time you’re on, do Braveheart.
love Adam and Joel. Great show! Wish bald Bryan and Alison were there….
