“Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat.”
“Again?”…
David, NRBQ great choice. Seen them a few times, really great shows.
Agreed, John. Scraps is another good NRBQ album.
Fuck yeah. Another reason to like the visits from David. A great choice indeed, although I would’ve been fine with Green Light, too.

David Wild is on? Let the name-dropping……..begin!
Adam mentioned his gay club named Mister Fister’s, does that club have any connection to the tranny bar Mister Sister? – Cody Price
“Adam Carolla (born sometime between 1962 and 1966) is an American radio personality…”
Nice spin Ace, sounds like Howard Stern.
PLEASE don’t turn into Stern.
Bald Brian is the shit.
When the Aceman references old men wearing a ‘gee’, what is the actual spelling of that term? I do not know.

Gi.
Ghee.
Green Day?! Best live show?! Really!? Fucking hilarious!
You’ve obviously never been to one of there shows then. Adam is not the first one I’ve heard say this
Calgon Lady looks like Asian Janeane Garofalo
guest suggestion: Charles Murray to talk about his new book
so you’re saying the colombian prostitute has a penis?
The salad days of whoring. Them was the days Aceman
“Just Me and the Boys”. Good song. I think this same version was in the 1983 movie “Spring Break”
Tool is the best live show…screw Green Day!
Yeah, watching Maynard hide behind a screen swaying back and forth singing about his mom is entirely worth $80. Tool is probably the most overrated band of the last decade.
Maynard was great with APC and Tool before he completely deepthroated his own dick with his ego.
evosero, you may be right about maynard hiding but I was watching the contortionists, painting red, contorting from the top of the stage…and backdrop visuals.
say what you want about him, but he cranks out some great wines. I’m outta here.
I’m dying to see Tool! I saw APC last summer and they were great. Can’t wait for Maynard to hit the road again!
Arizona Bay.
NRBQ…great underrated band, but Wild is wildly inaccurate on which album “Me and the Boys” is on…it’s on 1980′s “Tiddlywinks” album, not “NRBQ at Yankee Stadium”(1978). “Yankee Stadium” is indeed a brilliant album, though…get ‘em both.
I enjoy David’s regular appearances, but NRBQ is a poor choice. “Me and the boys…just me and the boys…” Really?? Terrible F. See you next week.
David Wild, best guest and not afraid to drop names!
Does David Wild really have to be on every week. I have nothing against the guy but he really doesn’t add anything to the show and the name dropping gets old.
I agree. I want to like him, but the name dropping is distracting. It’s not even really name dropping, it’s more like, who you’re talking about, he’s been to their house, etc.
Come to think of it, that might be a new podcast drinking game.
Did anybody else notice that Jade has moved from Stage 4 to Stage 3? Good for her! She’s earned it. Next stop stage 2!!!! You go girl.
very funny observation! thanks bj’s for pi’s
haven’t listened to this episode yet, but do enjoy the cherry pie “jade stage 4…” diversions quite a lot.
to ron mexico’s comment regarding adam’s lack of musical knowledge: i couldn’t disagree more. he has an almost encyclopedic memory for genres, band names, and his beloved horn sections. i will say this though – lauding elvis costello for his writing of “… peace love and understanding” (a nick lowe tune) was pretty sad, considering his professed love for both song writers. i also get pissed when he bad-mouths r.e.m., only because i happen to be friends with their keyboard/bassist.
get it the f#$& on!!!!
Anyone else think Bald Brian wishes he could bring the drops with him outside of the studio for when he makes zingers to his friends?
Friends?
Zingers?
Uh…. Everyone knows David Wild has been a music journalist for Rolling Stone magazine for the last 3 or so decades (or thereabouts), so yeah, he’s met a few cool guys and has cool stories about them. That’s kinda why he’s on the show.
I don’t know why people get their panties in a bunch about his “Name-dropping”. I mean, he’s only had this long and interesting career JUST so he could name drop, so give him a break!
And Green Day is a great live show. They have a hell of a lot more energy and charisma than most bands out there. God forbid the Aceman has an opinion.
No his problem, like Adam, is to turn every fucking thing mentioned into a story about himself. Ala an attention whore. Rolling Stones is a has been magazine so who cares about this fat fark. Never once have i have ever heard one musician talk about David, good or bad. He is a legend in his own mind.
The Calgon commercial was subtly racist? The Chinese woman in the commercial looks like she came from the rice patties or off the wall in a Chinese restaurant. I can see the people making the commercial now thinking “Hmm, this woman is obviously Chinese but her voice is so American so we need to figure out some way to communicate it . Can we put a photo of the great wall of China in the background? No? How about a rickshaw? Maybe we can have her eating sweet and sour pork? No? How about a big portrait of Chairman Mao? No? Okay, so here’s what we’ll do. Let’s get her dressed up like a six year old coming from a Hong Kong slumber party with pigtails and all, and have her husband look like Bruce Lee, but works at launder-mat. And instead of those large institutional washing machines lets have them use some crappy washing machine they picked up from JC Penny’s.
I think you are reading into it way to much.
TL;DR
great pod!
Anyone who has not checked out Ace on the House is really missing out on some great Adam and Ray conversation. I have very little interest in home improvement, however those two boyhood friends keep me entertained for an hour every week with their stories of past insane shop teachers and anecdotes of former misdeeds of their youth.
I thoroughly enjoyed the video tour of the new studio from the last episode.
Check it out!
Love you Adam, and agree with 9 out of 10 points of view. However, you don’t know shit about music.
It’s an opinion man. You probably don’t know shit about music either!
‘The Great Escape.’ tanked in the rating’s,should have been called “The Great Product Placement” don’t expect a second season of that piece of crap.
Good call on Morphine Alison. Great live band, well they were. RIP Mark Sandman. Saw them a few times in a small club near my alma mater.
Holy crap! David WIld brought back great memories by bringing up NRBQ. Being in CT I had to have seen them at least 50 times back in the day. They only song that ever got airplay was Ridin’ In My Car, but my favorite has always been Howard Johnson’s Got His HoJo Workin’. I think Al Anderson is based in Nashville and writing CW music still. Best memory was seeing him one Christmas night at a local club where it was just him sitting on a stool playing an acoustical set of NRBQ songs. Thanks David!!!
Adam – I hate cranberries in my oatmeal cookies too, and don’t even get me started on raisins!
I do LOVE oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, but I digress. I’ve been told by my baking friends that oatmeal cookies tend to get dry and the cranberries or raisins are in there to offset the dryness.
The name-dropping from David Wild does get tiring after awhile (every reference has to lead to an uninteresting experience he’s had with every celebrity). And he’s way too sycophantic. If he could have a few negative things to say about these people, it would be more interesting. Instead, everyone is “the best” or “the greatest” or “his favourite”.
Ace your right there is a Calgon bath commercial;

ooohhh la la I loved Alison’s filthy mouth while talking about the Colombian prostitutes.
Hey Adam , mr Al Davis (R.I.P.) loved his raiders & football was his life. He knew everyone in the nfl & knew all his players families names too. He is missed.
I like that David Wild finally disagreed with Adam when it came to Prince.
Prince is an amazing musical talent. Carolla has a horrible taste in music…… Green day,really?
Seriously. Green Day is one of the most overrated bands ever and considering Carolla is such an open conservative, I’m surprised he’d support such a bleeding heart liberal group.
he supports a FEW conservative ideas. he repeats over and over again he’s not a conservative, his views reflect that. but leave it to a hipster to say something as dumb as you typed.
god i hate football.
i hate these message boards so much…. i read them only to be angry…
I like David Wild plus he seems to give something for Adam to go back and forth.
