Show Summary
Adam begins today’s podcast with bad news that his upcoming vintage car race has been cancelled, despite just spending a bunch of time and money on getting his car prepped. The guys then take listener calls about potential voter fraud, COVID-sniffing dogs, and another round of quarantine hypocrisy. Adam also tells Bryan and Gina about a F.C.H.D. call he took on The Adam and Dr. Drew Show. Dr. Drew then joins the studio to talk about possible COVID-19 vaccines, and to help a caller whose daughter recently overdosed. Later, Vinnie Tortorich is on the line to chat about olive oil vs. butter for eggs, guys who wear too much deodorant, and why we should all enjoy the holidays without worry. Before the break, Adam and Vinnie takes some NSNG-related calls.
Art Bell is on the line at the top of Part 2 of today’s podcast. The guys discuss the origins of The Comedy Channel, later Comedy Central. They also talk about some of the early hit shows, and then jump forward to how Art ultimately left the network. Adam then shows off a Comedy Central Cookie Jar, and the guys discuss the current state of the network. Later, Art talks about his time working at HBO, as well as the success of the Comedy Central Roasts. In the last part of the podcast, Gina reads news stories about Dolly Parton’s donation to the COVID-19 vaccine, Conan O’Brien taking his show to HBO Max, a bareknuckle boxing knockout going viral, people in France throwing their kids over the gates to attend school, and a Belgian Racing Pigeon sold for $1.9 million.
