Show Summary
As the show opens up, Adam talks to Lou about his back-to-back victories as Mr. Universe. They also discuss the docudrama ‘Pumping Iron,’ which stars Lou alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger. Later they talk about Lou’s hearing loss, which began after an ear infection struck him as an infant.
Adam is impressed by Lou’s physique and complains that he himself is rather lazy. He explains his motivation as a kid to get in better shape, but now he can’t even walk around the city without his legs getting sore. Adam also asks Lou about his views on supplements and steroids, and how he manages to look so great at age 60.
In the last part of the show, Adam and Lou discuss the proper nutritional diet, and the dos and don’ts of staying in shape. Adam also asks Lou about training celebrities like Mickey Rourke and Michael Jackson, and as the show wraps up, Lou talks about overcoming his handicap to become a successful TV star on the classic series ‘The Hulk.’

Ari Shafir just had a funny story about Lou being a dick to him one time outside a gym or something on Joe Rogan’s podcast. Ive got a feeling hes a pretty dull dude though; guess we’ll find out
Green, you wouldn’t like me when I’m recycling,
Thanks for not showing up on the live broadcast, pussy.
Jeezus! Look at the head on that guy! I don’t remember his head being that big. wtf
Brilliant. A one on one with a guy who can’t talk.
What’s next, Larry Flynt and Lou Ferrigno doing movie reviews?
wicked episode ohh btw Lou’s has 75% hearing loss he is not a mute.
seriously are you trying to loose listeners, I mean what did we do wrong, whats with the punishing listeners and fan (not a typo) why have 2 none guests in a row on a one on one no one loves notice I didn’t say like
Adam’s listeners are always loose.
Sorry, as a whiny bitch I get so worked up and don’t spell check.
Lou, you had me at “egg whites.”
Cut him some slack… It will be worth it to see him on Aprentice
Apprentice*
Fuck the haters, this was a decent interview. And its pretty cool that Ace is doing these interviews after a day on apprentice. He could have easily picked out 20 episodes to rerun while he was in NY for the month.
I agree, and I thought it was a very inspiring interview. A lot of pasty message-board trolls can talk all their smack, but what are they champions of? Nothing. Who do they inspire? Nobody. You rock it, Lou. And thanks Adam for getting it.
Pretty good podcast. Lou was a bit blowhardy, but I guess he earned it.
Best part of the show was when Lou hijacked Adam’s Amazon plug and started pimpin his egg whites.
hey its the mute from king of queen
p.s
stay away from Connard’s mom, her pussy smells like the dumpster behind the chinese buffet.
livn with that smell keeps him mad n barking @ peps with biger cocks on msg brds
Alright, deaf frat guy!
Lou was a Delta Fu, 1970-74.
sweet podcast Lou is sharp
Sometimes, he get’s a little bummed out, about his hearing.
Forget the complainers who get a great show everyday for FREE.
Give Trump hell Ace Man!
Hulk smash John Hiatt!
Hulk smash Alison boots.
Sometimes I feel like he would sound normal if he would just blow his nose.
I miss hearing Donny chiming in occasionally. Is Kathee not going to be on for Crying out LOUD? i enjoy hearing other voices on the podcasts.
I like the mix of show formats – live audience, one-on-one, and the full show from the Carolla warehouse.
Adam, why so insecure? You do a bunch of low to mediocre one on ones to fill in while you are in New York (congrats btw!), when you could have had guest host work with BB and Allison! Jim Rome always has guest hosts when he is away; some of them like Jay Mohr are a refreshing change from Rome’s schtick, but we still come back for more.
I would’ve loved to hear Dana Gould, Doug Benson, DAG, Bill Simmons, you name ‘em host while BB and Allison keep the Carolla train rolling.
Bai Ling, Ferrigno, is Ozzie next? What about your housekeeper? Olga the nanny? I know I can always go some place else and get free entertainment, and I do find other podcasts compelling, but not very many of them are laugh out loud funny like Ace can be and DOT were every week.
Story about The Apprentice season 5: http://www.aceshowbiz.com/news/view/00044584.html
Good find. Also explains why Adam’s chummy with Lou.
Good interview considering the speech thing.
Why does Carolla interrupt to bring up his high school football days? I’m sure Lou was impressed, skinny man.
Technical issues:
1) This episode appears to be incomplete; Adam is cut off mid-sentence, never completing the Amazon spot or thanking Lou and saying “Mahalo.”
2) Is there a good reason why, starting about two weeks ago, the show’s mp3s are not being tagged with ID3 info? Releasing programs with blank ID3 tags is amateurish.
Left a note in the Dave Attell comments about the ID3 Tags. There is an issue with them due to “geotargeted” ads at the top of the show (ads that only get heard if you download in certain markets). We’re working on fixing it.
As far as the cut at the end of this show it’s been fixed and if you re-download you’ll get the rest. It was less than a minute though.
My favorite part of the podcast is when I can fast forward through all the douche bag commercials!!!!
But my least favorite part is when my mom makes me get off her computer and practice my piano.
Lou is the man.
Does anyone know what Ace is doing in New York?
Celebrity Apprentice, it is presumed. Read some comments.
Great interview…Lou is the man…he like a gigantic Joe Piscopo.
Great show, Lou rules.
As a power lifter, I enjoyed the show. Thanks Aceman! Invite all the famous bodybuilders you run into on the show.
Damn it! I wanted to hear what Lou had to say about yolks!
I think Lou was a great guest…. and it was a great interview….
Although, I would have love to see Lou’s face when Adam was telling him how much better he was as an athlete in school compared to Lou…
Lou was interesting and all, but do you really think that most bodybuilders would make for fascinating guests?
Dang Acer, I guess I am going to have to come down there and teach you how to do a good podcast so you can be succesful. Clearly you don’t know how to get it done.
Lou Ferrigno? How many dicks has this guy sucked?
Stop calling me Hulk!!!
Adam is going to be on Celebrity Apprentice. Should be interesting.
thanks Ace Broadcasting for another one on one episode. The Aceman is so much funnier on his own without Alison and Bryan trying to dogpile on every joke or riff.
So now I know this is almost a year late, but was there a fall out with Adam and the two Daves? I always wondered but was too lazy to write in the comments secion.
Adam in NY? Cuz he’s got that chemistry, I mean business with Jill Zarin ?
Good interview. Interesting guest.
The podcast cut off for me right as Adam was getting into the egg yolks.
Would have loved to hear the rest of the podcast, I was enjoying it so far, good guest.
Same here……..thought it was my battery or something…….Adam is out of town on this one, maybe he hit the wrong button on the recorder?
There was a glitch with the upload of this episode. It has been fixed and reloaded. If you want to re-download you can hear the rest. It was only about 45 seconds that got cut off.
Thanks for listening.
Lou sounds like Deaf Frat Guy, but a good interview.
He sounds like Deaf Frat Guy.
My guess is that Adam is in New York working with Greg Fitzsimmons on his new game show for Speed.
Nope, he’s doing Celebrity Apprentice
Yep, Celebrity Apprentice and working on Greg Fitsimmons new show for Speed called Pump, sounds cool…
this is a wild ass guess but I think Adam may be Exec Producing Gregs show. I hope Adam does a one on one with Greg. Greg is in NY, he was on Howard this morning promoting the new show and his audio book.
The Bai Ling Podcast was so bad that I quickly fast-forwarded through it so that I could start the Lou Ferrigno Podcast and listen to an articulate guest.
You guys — How STOKED are you for that new epsiode of For Crying Out Loud?!?!
about as stoked as Flatulator was for the Parent Experiment
ACTUALLY it was really funny! Plus you get to hear Lynette’s rebuttal on stories Adam tells.
I LOVE Deaf Frat Guy!
But why didn’t he play Mr. Stinkfinger?
Didn’t Adam go to high school with Ray and the gang?
Such a refreshing, funny show, especially after that train wreck of a show with Bai Ling.
Bai Ling was the worstest guest I ever did hear.
Oh my friend… You must not have heard the Danica Patrick about 2 years ago. The all time worst!!
At least she understood English. But I gotta admit, that ‘Rehad’ song of hers is kickin’, yo.
Bai ling? I thought that was Yoda.
Great show! Thanks Ace.
When are you going to confim the Celebrity Apprentice gig. it’s already out there, why the silence?
Please give Lou the E-mail addresses of the dicks making fun of his hearing so he can crush them. Seriously he was Mr. universe before you were old enough to write dickhead comments from your moms basement. I once had dinner with him and he passed me the salt and could not have been a nicer guy. Great interview keep the interesting guests coming.
No 59-year-old man maintains that kind of muscle mass by eating egg whites and lifting weights. And once you’ve had both hips and both knees replaced and your head is the size of a beer keg, it’s time to consider aging gracefully. Lou Ferrigno is the Joan Rivers of “fitness.”
Assuming Lou is also a contestant on the Apprentice, I found this interesting from a Machiavellian perspective…
Podcast dropped out for everyone, yes??
You had dinner with him and the best anecdote you have is him passing you the salt?
just like deaf frat guy, only it didn’t suck.
Podcast ended abruptly for me as well. I guess the hotel room recordings are not running smoothly yet. Hope they get it figured out.
What a fucking retarded db of a guest. Why waste my time on this loser. Just as bas if not worse than Bai Ling.. Ok, worse.
Get your own username, jackass.
F’n pumped about Celebrity Apprentice – love that show and will be ten times better with adam.
Enjoyable interview. Well done Adam and Lou.
My time well spent.
When did he announce that the reason he was in NYC was for apprentice?
it’s all message board conjecture but we got Ace Smarts real good and if were wrong, we are all anonymous…
“Tonight, Adam sits down one-on-one with….”
#SoundsBetterThanItIs
Adam brought up at one point several weeks ago that he’d been offered to do a reality show with other celebrities, and Bald Bryan quickly realized which one it was, but Adam obviously couldn’t confirm or deny.
i’m pretty sure its celebrity apprentice
this made me wanna go pump some iron!….kinda
One of the best one-on-ones yet! Fantastic episode even if it was short. Keep up the lord’s work Ace
Lou mentions that he is the “donald trump” of determining what people’s needs are for personal training. lol
A new business venture – Discount Muffin Bottoms and Egg Yokes…
It’s yolks, dumbass.
It’s about time Adam got Def Frat Guy on.
great show but the commercials are getting obnoxious. I know its a necessary evil but damn. It stresses me out. I cant help but think it pisses the guests off
You need to invest in a fast forward button.
Wow, Adam is like 6’2 or 6’4 and look how small his head is next to Lou’s.
Great show. Lou was very informative about health and training
NYC: We we gots to have James Baby Doll on the Pcast
…..where do you come down on, like, nuts bc (32:33) “I LOVE nuts” …. BB – GET THAT DROP
Great show! Lou Ferigno is the best!
Sounds like mike tyson but with more bass…
Good Show! It actually motivated me (slightly) since I have Ace syndrome. Effing 60 years old that Ferigno! Amazing. Cool guy.
Next, let’s have Willie Nelson for the Hobo Erotic coup de grace.
Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Great show! — I was skeptical at first but found myself glued to the headphones and really liking this guy. Lou, Arnold and the whole bodybuilding thing was huge back then…
Celebrity Apprentice. It makes total sense now why he X’d the UStream. Congrats on being on with Donald, you totally deserve it man.
Wow he has an absolutely massive head
Gamma rays.
that is just the perspective of the photo. Because Lou is leaning forward, and Adam is leaning back.
He probably has a much bigger that average head, but dude, it’s mainly that he’s just closer to the camera.
An angelic Adam as young man — I would thank God I didn’t believe in God, just to keep me away from those priests.
You would be more likely to have been molested by a public school teacher than a priest and you made it untouched (i hope?).
The allegations are that BOTH Adam and Lou are BOTH filming Celebrity Apprentice: Which makes Celeb Apprentice FUCKING PURE AWESOME. Already. Done. Done.
BOTH!
Celebrity Apprentice is going to ROCK this season.
I, for many, love the Celebrity Apprentice show, no matter who’s on, and now that Adam might be, I can feel the energy and excitement cursing through my veins. Can you feel the mandate to get it on?
Great interview. Good one Ace. I like guests like Lou, nice guy, interesting life story, and he has eggs to plug.
They should rename this episode “Lou Ferrigno Tells the Story of His Life and Adam Tries to One Up Him”
I’ll give the Aceman credit. At one point I thought “ah shit, Adam’s gonna break in here and go off on a tangent” he resisted and let Lou finish his thought.
Good one Aceman!
Great episode. Lou’s led a very interesting life and it’s great to hear he’s doing so well.
My brother used to pretend to turn into the Hulk when he got angry when we were kids. Loved that show. It was great to hear Lou’s story and what he has overcome. Wish he could have talked more about his family life and long marriage, but I’m a chick and like to hear about that stuff.
If he and Lou are on Celebrity Apprentice, I will watch. I haven’t watched it since Bill Rancic won. And I will grit my teeth through the parts where Trump talks.
Adam on the Apprentice will be awesome!!!!! I have not watched in a while but I think Adam is perfect for the show. I can’t wait for him to go off in the boardroom. This will be must see TV!!!!!!!
Fantastic podcast! Lou is an interesting person, and his tips for nutrition and fitness are great. Great stuff!
