Adam says that Chris Laxamana is capable and could move on if he wanted to and do quite well, Chris is now quoting Adam’s film producer Nate who complimented working with Adam.
Adam is once again using Nate wanting to continue working with him as an example of a “2nd date” and now Drew is explaining that people fear this very response, getting the wrath.
Chris confirms that Drew is doing this as a bit, Adam is explaining that when you get successful and the phone rings, half the time the phone rings the person doesn’t say hi, that’re only calling for something they want.
Adam asks what’s the problem if is volatility is never at the risk of emerging, Drew says the threat does loom and then admits maybe it’s just him that elicits this response.
Drew is now using Adam’s comments off air about staff showing up on time to prove a point, Adam is now explaining the flaw in Drew’s logic.
Drew says that Adam missed the fear in Gary’s face about being late, Adam says he doesn’t care about the profession, when the boss says you need to show up 10min early it elicits the same fear.
Drew explains there are two possible fears, I’m going to lose my job or my boss is going to blow up at me, Adam says that Gary knows he’s not going to get fired, nor get yelled at.

Adam is bringing up the couple holes in Drew’s game, much like Mike August.
Adam says that Mike has a couple blind spots, he explains it in NBA metaphors.
Adam explains that Mike has no bedside manner, Adam is sharing the “nobody knows who that guy is, who gives a shit” replies he gets from Mike regarding possible Take a Knee bookings suggested by Adam, Adam explains why that email reply is ok with him but wouldn’t be with someone like Jimmy Kimmel.
Adam uses Dr. Drew and Dr. Phil to make a point about Mike August and James Babydoll Dixon, Adam extends his “holes in their game” theory and compares himself to Jimmy Kimmel.
Drew asks Adam if he tries to improve that “something” and Adam say’s its tough, easy when you’re talking about a golf game, much more difficult when it’s about life.
Adam says you could make an argument that the less successful person is sometimes better or has greater skill, Adam says that #1 it’s about not having holes in your game.
Adam says there will always be success and a comfortable living for guys like him and Drew, but for guys like Dr. Phil and Jimmy Kimmel without holes in their game, they end up with a different level of success.
