Adam is now bringing up something else he noticed from the credits of Harland’s special, the director Tom Stern aka Yurgi from the 2006 ACS and a man of a million amazing stories, most of which can’t be committed to text.

Adam is now explaining how Tom was the guy who ordered him to unlash his other tire and lead to one of Adam’s most legendary stories and one of the greatest moments of his life.

Adam is now on a longer riff about scents of people’s homes and cars, he’s describing the best possible scenario is that someone doesn’t start thinking about what must go in your home upon entering.

They’re trying to start Blah Blah Blog but Adam noticed a single audience member who ordered a pizza for himself, Adam is commenting on the gent’s leftover pizza crust that he avoided eating and has a great Sees candy analogy.

Harland is running with the Sees candy mention and now they’re lost on a crazy “See” related series of tangents, Adam and Harland wrestling verbally while falling through an abyss.
