Show Summary
As the show opens up, Adam and the gang talk about the theme to Robert Blake’s TV show, ‘Helltown.’ Adam also refers to a Tweet that reminded him about being in the SAG union. This leads Adam into a big rant about why he doesn’t want to be in a union. Adam’s buddy Ray is also in studio, and the guys answer a home improvement question about replacing charred wood near a barbeque.
Alison starts up the news discussing the recent controversy involving actor Fred Willard and an adult movie theater. The guys also talk about the Emmy nominations, including Jimmy Kimmel Live getting a nod for Best Variety Show. Later the gang takes calls about visiting California, losing MMA fights, and gun control. Alison brings up one last news story involving a robbery gone wrong, and the show wraps up with a rant about ill-informed drivers in California. [02-emmys]

Despite Ray being awesome, he looks like a madman you just pulled off the street and snapped a photo with.
How apt.
Fey, I think is the word.
great ep. love Ray and love the long term friendship on display.
union fees? look at it as a ‘thank you’ for safe working conditions, 40 hour week and weekends. if organized labour didn’t fight for these basic rights we’d never have ‘em. though they are disappearing again along with the rate of union membership in the labour force. huh.
also, following this latest gun nut’s murder spree, re-visit Adam’s lame “packin’ Salt and Pepper guy” solution to a world of crazies wielding guns (read: sem-automatics). imagine if everyone in that theater had a semi-automatic? brutal.
please, Alison, Bald, can you shit on Adam’s ill-conceived and obtuse points a little more? i know you want to and you’ve demonstrated in the past that you can run rings around him. makes for good pod.
Stop listening.
stop replying
Stop praying.
Is that what Ace Broadcasting wants? For those who don’t agree with some rants to stop listening instaed of giving feedback? I thought ACE wants the pitrate ship to stay afloat and listeners are needed in order for the $$$ to keep flowing in.
You can stop saying “semi-automatics” every time you mention a gun. I know it’s this great buzzword you gun Nazis just discovered and love to throw around like it makes you sound informed. Semi-auto guns are a 100+ year old development, pre-WW1 almost civil war era tech. It’s like describing every car as a car “WITH FOUR WHEELS!!! OMG!” and one of those new-fangled ‘internal combustion engines’.
also it makes him sound retarded, pretty much all guns are semi-automatic…. and if everyone had a “semi- automatic” in that theater the dude might have gotten off a couple shots before everyone open fired on him.
Unions are worthless. They are for lazy assholes who want everything and don’t want to work for it. scum of the earth.
Unions are worthless? You’re worthless you goddamn clueless jackass! Do you know why you have weekends? Do you know why small children aren’t used for slave labor? Do you know why there’s any laws at all that protect ALL OF US?
Go get your head crushed by a metal stamper and die slow!
Tiny, have you not listened to one word Adam said? He’s not against the unions that DO fight for those things! The unions that protect workers who work in dangerous conditions, etc. He’s against the stupid fluff unions like SAG and AFTRA. What do they exactly DO for their workers? I’ve known actors myself who have had very small roles here and there and HATE having to cough up money for that stupid union when they barely make a few dollars to begin with. SAG does NOTHING to make sure actors have stable working hours or enough money to live off of. It’s a big scam, and Adam is 100% right.
Bookplates.
You know, for a corpse, Ray isn’t a bad guest…
I know Adam does it on a daily basis, but can we bring back – this week in rage?
YES!!! PLEASE!!!
Oh great. Adam’s loser friend who always wants to fight or say stupid things.
I bet he’s a shitload more fun than hanging out with you.
Oh great, another Internet pussy who would never have the ball’s to say this to Ray’s face.
Good show. Always fun when it’s just the ‘gang’ and no true guest.
I’m now firmly convinced Adam was touched inappropriately as a kid while either ‘Land of the Lost’ or Sigmund and the Sea Monsters’ was on in the background. And that’s where his Sid and Marty Krofft hatred comes from.
I love me some Ray, and he’s one of the best guests this show gets to see…but with that said, he looks like a homeless dude in that picture.
You’re doing God’s work Adam!
Soon, imbeciles like you who believe in ‘god’ will be the only listeners
How’s the weather on your planet buddy? Overly warm with a possible afternoon shower of daddy issues?
Holy crap, apparently wherever Carolla grew up, it causes people to age insanely prematurely.
Ray looks closer to 70 than 50.
The guy has been working construction outside since he left high school and he smokes, you’d age prematurely too.
It’s called “the sun.”
HAHAHA, And he will look 70 for the next 50 years….GET IT ON!!! +_+

For someone who doesn’t like something, you spend an awful lot of time downloading and listening to it. Move on dumbass.
That’s really funny, even for you GOD!
As I have said many times before, society . . .
Oh no, my delicate sensibilities!
Its seems you like to listen to the whining……sorry I dont mean to feed the trolls…
Ray looks like a special ed student who spends too much time in the gym. Look at those cannons!!
HA!
nice one.
i fukn love Ray.
Ray is always fun…totally real.
Jesus. I don’t know why anyone bothers calling into the show at this point. They just get yelled at and hung up on by Adam.
Let me guess, you calling in once and got yelled at and hung up on?
Just kidding, using a phone would involve effort. You’re not an effort-driven person I’m just guessing.
Hey Badger, go fuck youself.
Ladies first.
god damn you’re a horrible troll, Badger.
That guy that called about going to CA was just dumb! I was glad Adam hung up on him.
Welcome to every radio show in the U.S. (and probably the world, I just wouldn’t know.)
Most of them are idiots. Fuck them.
@ricotastic
I know. I feel bad for the callers. Yeah, they have a hard time getting to the point, but that’s no way to treat a fan.
have you ever listened to Adam before? Is that supposed to be a troll comment?
Isn’t that why we all loved Loveline?
Love the show, Ace Man
Ray, Awesome pics. Great size. Look thick. Solid. Tight. Keep us all posted on your continued progress with any new progress pics or vid clips. Show us what you got man. Wanna see how freakin’ huge, solid, thick and tight you can get. Thanks for the motivation.
Ace is great and I listen often, but he doesn’t know what he’s talking about regarding unions.
Unions are disappearing. If Adam thinks wages wil rise after their gone, he’s CLUELESS. When/if that happens, the majority of US jobs will resemble WallMart jobs.
Unions are a democracy for the worker. Like all democracies, there are corrupt leaders. They need to be reformed, but Scott Walker and others want to destroy them.
Scott Walker is the man. Screw unions. The open market is democracy for workers, moron. If you are worth more $$$ to an employer, take your earning power to ANOTHER COMPANY who will pay you what you’re worth. Unions can’t stand competition, thus you can only work union jobs, or suck unemployment.
ah, i see we have a scholar of industrialization here.
You do realize that before unions the open market for workers meant 12-16 hour workdays (7 days a week), unsafe working conditions (with no compensation or care if and when you are inured by those conditions), child labor, insanely low wages, and just a general raping of the workforce.
Heh, just like Adam’s rant about how poor people used to look at the rich guy who drove the expensive car and looked at him as a hard worker and something to aim for, people used to look at union members as smart people who were working together to make sure jobs stayed in the US and had some security in their employment. It is strange that both things have changed in opposite directions. Maybe people just used to have more respect overall.
JCB, you may have the correct theory in mind about employment, but I think ignorance in bliss for you in the real world. That is just not how it works for most people. You may be right that a truly talented and hard working person can and will find a way to succeed, and people should be rewarded for hard work and talent with higher pay and more money. No argument there. But at the same time, why demonize people that just want to PROTECT their job and have a small say in their working conditions? People are pretty shitty overall in business. Not just management, but supervisors, other employees and customers too. So a union helps people work together to make sure nobody is left to fend for themselves in the work place, to fight against massive layoffs, and to fight businesses from shipping jobs overseas. Why is this bad?
Oh, and unions are not bankrupting governments. A good talking point, but unfortunately also not true. When people say that, I wonder if they have ever considered that union members actually want their businesses to succeed financially? You know, because their jobs are tied to the success of the company?
I work in one of the last bastions of manufacturing, making 737′s that all your loved ones fly in. If it wasn’t for the unions I would be making 1/3 less salary and have little to no health coverage. The chinese couldn’t even get fuckin dog food right, you really want them building your airplanes? Those who oppose unions have no fucking clue what rights they fought and died for in order to get you working conditions all you uninformed douchebags take for granted! Get a little knowledge on what your ranting about before flying off the handle.
AWESOME!!! I could listen to Ray every day. Even when he’s not being funny, he still kinda makes me laugh. Loved the Ray chapter in the book, and have heard almost every episode of Ace on the House.
Ray looks like David Letterman but a slightly creepier version
HA. my first thought as well.
Do we get the diatribe about how Ray lives in an apartment, all ‘successful’ people own a house?
I dunno, do we get the usual dickhead comments from someone who didn’t listen but felt the need to pipe up?
didn’t listen but still called it.
what does that say about us giant brains that continue to listen to the same ish, over and over… ?
Use a pressure washer on that wood fence, my brother used a pressure washer on our parents whole deck and it looked like new wood.
I think Fred’s wife is constantly in his face when he’s at home. One of those co-dependent type bitches. Hence why he has to go to a place like this to get some private time.
Ray looks like a strung out David Letterman.
GE-TIT-ON everybody! I was wondering if y’all could help me out – can anybody tell me what song that was that played during the GoDaddy spot at the very beginning of the show? Thank you!
Ray in the house, looking forward to this one…
Had to skip yesterday’s comment page, too many words and stuff????
If Kevin Bacon and David Letterman had a kid it would look like Ray.
Ray has some guns !
I thought David Letterman was on the show today.
Geez, seems like a bunch of people who don’t like the show have posted comments. I LOVE me some Aceman! Have dug Adam since the Love Line daze. As Tony The Tiger used to say, “He’s……G-R-E-A-T!!
If you want a show without smart and funny righteous anger, move the eff on dudes. Adam seldom pulls punches (he will play some softball with certain guests on certain subjects. But, hey, he’s gotta live in that town, ya know?). If you want someone different, listen to someone different. Sniff. There you go. Okay, what’s next, baby girl. Would love to love me some Alison. Numnum.
amen
Lots to love.
I wouldn’t kick him out of bed for shooting hot tub water out of his ass.
Ray looks like Jim Carey trying to be Kevin Bacon. Which seems oddly appropiate once you’ve read/listened to his chapter in Not Taco Bell Material
Why does Adam keep lamenting this retarted white trash piece of shit’s exploits? I know they’re friends but Adam, You’re a Millionaire and a success, leave the Trailor Park trash at the trailor park and definitely keep him off your flagship podcast.
Thanks for dressing up for the show Ray. I love the Fruit of the Loom shirt thats been washed 150 times. Im suprised its not showing the yellow dinge under the armpits. That being said,…. hes in great shape for a “maturing man” Does he jump rope too?
Taking calls! Home improvement tips straight from the Aceman’s lips to those in need!
Is Youknowimright implying that Adam is racist? That was such an origional and well thought out post. You should start your own podcast and maybe CNN or MSNBC will pick it up. Keep up the good work troll.
Ray is the best, and I crack up every time Bald Bryan hits the drop after the $69 read. Im mature.
TIL SAG and the writers union blows ass.
As much as the Aceman talks about loving Canada… I can’t watch the Mainways clip because Hulu STILL doesn’t fucking let us watch their goddamn videos. If I drive less than an hour east, I’m in New York state and would have no problem.
Very eerie! Ace talking to a guy about carrying concealed guns in theaters before the Batman Massacre happened….
was just about to say that
One law-abiding movie attendee with a gun, ONE single bullet, could’ve saved 12 lives. Duck and cower is not defense against a madman. A concealed weapon works great. 2nd amendment, baby!
JCB, even the radical NRA’s official position in a situation like that is to attempt to escape and leave your gun holstered as more weapons being drawn will only create even further chaos and confusion and likely lead to more death. If someone or multiple someones had drawn their weapons who’s to know if they are a “good guy” trying to take out the shooter, or working with him in the slaughter?
Anyone else find the concealed weapon call super foreboding considering what happened in Colorado about an hour after they got done recording the show?
Yes…he has always pointed out how when he talks about something obsure, it turns around and happens.
Run red lights that are inconvenient. Run bicyclists off the road because you’re bigger. Jack off on long car trips because you’re bored. You shouldn’t be promoting this stuff dude.
Follow ACE-man on (the) shitter…..
nice one! Although hasn’t that been the position of Matt Fondiler to date?
i have a buddy who looks/acts just like Ray. Classic, nothing better than a loose cannon…
I’ve been trying to call in for three days to ask Adam and the crew if I should have a grape popcicle.
Ray looks really different from hen he was on the TLC show. I wish Adam had a TV show with his buddies still. Adam why not have some camera and broadcast the video of your daily podcast? I would pay for that.
–dan
Ray is completely insane. I love him.
Ray looks like David Letterman – except more roidy and bath salty.
“Follow Ace on Shitter” Dawson, you RULE!
Adam, I gave your show another shot this morning (hey – it takes a while to break an addiction) and once again had to turn it off. Hating on unions? Dude, you have seriously jumped the shark now. Have you ever considered that some of us are just as, if not smarter than you? Maybe we aren’t “technically millionaires” (although some of us are), but that does not automatically mean that we are stupid and lazy. YOU are not the only person who pays fucking taxes!!! YOU do not even count as part of the 1%. You’d have to be as rich as someone like Bill Gates to be a 1%er. Why do you insist that all government rules and regulations are directed at YOU? Narcissist? Perhaps. Are you considering a career with Fox or something? It seems as though you might be headed in that direction. That would be just sad – kind of like Dennis Miller and Monday Night Football.
check ur facts son, adam is definetly in the top 1% of US earners, anyone who’s making more than a few million a year is.
Censorship pussies ! I thought this board was anti-PC? Guess not ur board is filled with pussies that can’t handle criticism ! PUSSIES !
But here’s the real question: Are they pussies?
Must be weird for Adam to be so wealthy while his old buddies to be living such crappy lives. i know they made their own beds, but I would feel odd if I was Adam. Maybe that’s why he lets them all hang around.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
Dawson! I cant find Adam on Shitter!?!? How high are you???
So Ray is fucking jacked?? His right arm looks Satanic.
Just paused the show to come here and check out the Hell Town intro. I have to ask what’s the deal with all the livestock in the intro? According to Wikipedia the show was set in LA, not exactly a farming community.
There’s no stopping Mr Oldhafer now! It’s next stop the Tonight Show for Ray. I was thinking the other day that it would be funny if Ray was the only guest on TACS. I wasn’t disappointed.
Ray has lost significant pod-air time now that the ever popular* “Life Lessons” has sadly met its demise. I hope that, by way of compensation, Carolla Digital can adjust their programming to accommodate more Ray.
*This is a lie.
one year of listening and here are my conclusions. best podcast ive ever heard. adam has his faults but he is brilliant and hilarious. a little bit of alison goes a long way. bald bryan is a master at what he does. “who” drop makes me laugh everytime. “cherry pie ” is also a never fail drop. 99.9 percent of the live shows are far less entertaining than the studio shows. alison is particularly annoying on the live shows.
agreed 100%. Alison call adam on his shit… crush him with that jew knowledge
Look, I’ve said this a million times….
Ray looks so much like David Letterman in this picture. lol.
I know this is a simple dumb question but I was just wondering, What are everyones thoughts to the begining of the show, from the “Your listening to the ACE Broadcasing Network” to “This is Carolla Digital”
Yeah, I first noticed Carolla Digital on the site’s nav bar before hearing. Imagine it came about the same time as the new logo. Guess it’s all about updating an image, though I prefer the old school “Broadcasting Network” to “Digital,” which is a bit sterile.
I’m with you @MBelley – “Carolla Digital” sounds like a new and improved proctological procedure
Good show!
One request for Monday. Ace, please don’t rant about how you’re surprised that shooting sprees don’t happen more often. It’s hard to listen to and makes you sound like a horrible person.
Thanks!
I think Ray goes to the same dentist as Flea
Ray is Adams Neal Cassady
Ace seemed a little pissy this episode…
Ray: What doctor Drew would look like strung out on crank.
Guys,
Good Podcast.
CORRECTION: The story I heard and read on a Pee Wee interview was that he was visiting his parents down in Florida. He did not want to “take care of business” as an adult in his parent’s house – so he visited an Adult Theater (not an arcade) – he then got caught by the cops who were patrolling the theater.
Now you know the rest of the story.
Not sure what is worse – Adam’s story of watching a super 8mm porno in his grandparents bedroom or an adult Pee Wee getting lewd conduct in a adult theater. I sort of respect Pee wee not having his mother walk in on him as an adult visiting her house.
Keep up the good work.
ADAM,
Your rant on the common man having his head up his ass about decisions falls flat when common man is deciding to “run red arrows” and impaling motorcycles that “I did not see him”.
The caller did not see a cop behind him – yet you believe that this imbecile will see an oncoming motorcycles.
Most red arrows are for “blinds” so that you don’t pull in front of a moto who has the right of way.
Not on board with Adam’s take on running red lights.
Keep up the good work.
What Carolla says about his father and him never having a relationship because of the lack of shared interests is poignant and true. My own father hadn’t much passion for anything, nor did he try to get me involved in hobbies as a child, so we really had no common activities or interests to build a relationship and memories on. You cannot force a relationship with someone — even if that someone is family, being predisposed toward it — if you cannot relate to them or understand them on shared ground.
Only in my twenties when both my dad and I began getting interested in economics and debating with one another for many hours over the phone or cups of coffee, did a relationship start to flower.
I guess I’m the only one to find Ray to be annoying and not interesting. So sick of his fecal and urination stories, if this punk ass bitch tried something like that with me he would be spitting teeth out! Sorry Adam, your same 10 stories you constantly repeat about your stupid friends are tired and fucked out. I know people way more insane and interesting than these clowns.
Adam, you say you hate subsidizing others’ healthcare via SAG, and yet you readily admit that your healthcare was subsidized by others when you used to accept free healthcare at the ER and skip out on the bill.
ray is the tits
Best quote of the show “When I was writing the book, I should have given you chapter 11, Ray”
How about Tony Barbieri for a guest ? (in or out of character) He`s damned funny can improvise and maybe some new adam stories would surface.
Good show. I’m really glad they had Damshek and Ray on and didn’t squeeze some irrelevant/bad guest on. I hope they use “regulars” more such as these two, Dr. Bruce and Larry Miller when healthy instead of forcing a lame guest.
With that said, PLEASE stop taking open phone calls, the connections are terrible and the callers grind the show to a halt 99% of the time.
liberal pussies…. Cant handle any opinion that challanges their precious little world view. Adam has already said it. If you dont like it than “LICK HIS SALTY BALLS” How many times has he told you bleeding vag’es to toss off.
My favorite comedian is dana gould, and you know what, we are polar opposites idiologically. I dont feel the need to whine like a fag on his messageboard when he makes a political joke i disagree with.
More Ray! Love the banter between the two of you and all the old stories.
holy fuck when did david letterman get into construction, blow and creatine.
all joking aside Ray is fucking awesome.
Get It On
Adam is 100% correct in his assessment of unions in general but particularly PUBLIC SECTOR UNIONS. They are blood sucking abominations on our Republic that even labor icons of the past said should never exist in America. Let me tell you why……The founders of the labor movement viewed unions as a way to get workers more of the PROFITS they help create. GOVERNMENT WORKERS, however, don’t generate profits. They merely negotiate for more tax money. When government unions strike, they strike against TAXPAYERS. An untouchable icon of the big government liberal crowd, F.D.R. no less, said the existence of public unions and their potential strikes against the American taxpayer, would be “intolerable and unthinkable”. That’s F.D.R.!! George Meany, a God among the big labor crowd said “Government collective bargaining must never be allowed because it will mean that voters will no longer have the final say on public policy. Our elected representatives that are supposed to execute the will of the people for the common good will instead be negotiating spending and policy decisions with unions.” Union contracts make it next to impossible to reward great teachers or to fire horrible ones. Union contracts give government employees gold-plated benefits at the cost of higher taxes and less spending on other priorities. The reason you heard all the screaming and gnashing of teeth in Wisconsin is because Governor Walker’s plan takes the power out of union hands and reasserts voter control over government policy and the unions will do ANYTHING to deceive the public about that simple truth.
bobby is right….that is all
Love the Aceman,hi friend Ray sounds like a dumby though.
how did adam know to foreshadow the batman shooting with this video? haha
It’s RAAAAAAAAAY-vid LETTERMAN!! Ray’s my favorite ape.
Ray needs to come on the main podcast more often. Also some more Ozzy, Chris, and Donny (if Ace can swallow his pride).
it’s not just Ace, bro’s always have a hard time admitting there was an issue.
If criminals think you have a lot of guns in your house it makes you a target. They wait until you’re gone and break in to steal your guns. There are few things in your home that have so much value and are as easy to carry as guns.
Here, Here, on the traffic rant, Norman Raye. Law enforcement does little to facilitate the flow of traffic.
the asian cop in the video with old guy shooting is hot!
Whoa, nobody mentioned Ray had such fantastic arms! Humina humina!
That Ray is veiny
