Show Summary
Adam opens today’s show teasing an appearance on an upcoming comedy special. Adam then talks to Bryan and Gina about his recent CarCast guest, and an upcoming episode of ‘Jay Leno’s Garage’ where Jay teaches Norm MacDonald to drive. Michael Imperioli then joins the show, and the gang talks to him about the new Sopranos prequel, as well as how fitness and performing are related. Later they discuss Michael’s earlier film work (including Goodfellas), and some of the resonating thematic elements from The Sopranos. Gina then reads news stories about social distancing from pets, Clinton endorsing Biden, and newly declassified UFO footage. Before the break, the guys talk about new drone technology, and cyber affairs thriving during the quarantine.
Adam welcomes Dan Crenshaw to the podcast for a one-on-one conversation. They talk about how Dan lost his eye while deployed in Afghanistan, the constant threat of IEDs, and the philosophy behind stillness. Other topics of conversation include bath faith arguments, political opportunism, and things you learn while training underwater. Adam also has Dawson read a recent Adam Schiff newsletter he received so they can comment on the language used, and the guys go on to discuss preserving American values, the problems with victimhood ideology, and how the left is hurting their constituents with compassionate policies. As the conversation wraps up, Adam asks Dan about his thoughts on one day running for President, and his performance on Saturday Night Live. Stick around for Good Sports with Adam and Dave Dameshek.
