Adam opens the show to a funny intro and a funny “There is no god, I’m god!” #TopDrop from Adam, Adam is explaining that they will be covering the Academy Awards.

BB says the audience likes them recapping it after, not the episodes recorded during so much.

Adam is talking about the IFB earpiece that Chris Rock was using said ‘Interruptible foldback’ device while hosting the Awards.

 

Adam is recalling the various jobs he’s worn one for, including for half of a taping of MTV Loveline.

Adam explains how the system works, akin to the NASCAR spotters and he’s got a funny “penny for your thoughts” comment.

Adam is sharing how ‘Catch a Contractor’ was focused on framing and moving Skip for shots.

Adam is explaining how they will correct data and slip you information to enhance your performance, he says you try and avoid the IFB ear and he explains how they would frame it and how he would swap ears to prevent the camera from picking it up.

 

Adam says he’s never noticed the IFB in past presentations and jokes about arguing with his wife about this and he talks about how comedians are trained to watch the clock and don’t need this kind of prompting.

Adam shares he noticed Chris reach up and push the IFB in when it popped out, Gina and BB react to the clip of the IFB pop out.

Adam is explaining that the jokes were funny but he felt off his rhythm and he is referencing the very “Un-Chris Rock” moment where he’s talking about Leonardo DiCaprio and Adam mocks the weird mouth noise he made midsentence.

 

Adam is back to how this felt very uncomfortable and off to him, he explains how the comedian/host needs to focus on the jokes and how the other side of your brain trying to keep track of the acorn in your skull that’s slowly sliding out every 45sec.

Adam is describing the person probably trying to help and ironically only hurting his performance and he comments on the “black actors” theme and how overwhelming it was, he gets that it needs to be addressed, not the whole show though.

Gina brings up the Cameraman’s focus on Sophia Vergara.

Adam brings up the predictable subject matter and gets to the flesh colored IFB and how the one Chris was sporting should have been painted to better match his skin tone.

 

Adam says his wife’s argument was that they did color it, Adam says these IFB’s are 5k a piece and BB has a funny Cynthia name drop that Adam corrects.

Adam is now talking about his experience with taping ‘Catch A Contractor’ and how Adam kept his IFB in his right front pocket and has handled many of them, he would know better.

Adam says that if you live with him long enough you’ll just got fuck it and disagree to disagree, he infects those around him and makes them hate/abuse him.

 

Adam is now telling the Academy crew to error toward Wesley Snipes shade paint for Chris instead of the stock “flesh” color that Adam promises to update if he’s ever in charge.

Adam is very interested why this IFB was used, he describes several scenarios of how this could’ve went down and the compromise sometimes involved in these hosting gigs.

Adam is talking about the Stacey Dash gag that didn’t quite land as the audience didn’t seem that familiar.

 

Adam has Gary search about IFB use among past hosts and if anyone is talking about this besides Adam.

Gina asks if David Wild could hypothesize on this, Adam says he’s going to guess no.

Adam is now talking about the ‘In Memoriam’ and explains he doesn’t need publicists in the list, agents too but mainly publicists.

Adam is talking about Joan Jett getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with two shitty songs she didn’t write and what that does for all of the rest of the inductees.

 

Adam is now talking about Jim Hill and his brother David Hill, he talks about guys like him or Ryan Leaf making it into the hall of fame.

Adam says he would want his name as far away from a publicist as it can be.

BB talks about the Abe Vigoda snub and Rowdy Roddy Piper also being left out from the in memorium segment.

 

Adam is now talking about the bad chunks of dialogue that are given as examples of the best screenplay nominees, he says you should pick a cool slice of dialogue and not the lame choices used, Adam says he likes the stage direction part.

Q and Ace

1st Caller Bernie, aka Bernice.

She’s telling them about her sexually aggressive friend and his clear feelings for her which results in regrettable jealousy and hostility between her, guys she likes and this “friend.”

Adam is now joking about Leonardo DiCaprio and how he’s slept with more women who he’s never seen again compared to what’s going on a college campus.

Adam is talking about her Hispanic heritage and he tells her to take a picture of the feet of a young Hispanic man, he asks if she has any older brothers to stand up for her, hilarious “your older brother is in his 70’s” one liner.

Gina has a great Ducky reference that Adam intentionally misattributed to ‘Coming Home’ instead of the John Hughes Oeuvre. For great comedic effect.

Adam asks Bernie if she keeps this guy around as he validates her and Adam says that men don’t keep women around us who want to bang us that we’re not interested in, super pragmatic in the honker department. Gina really appreciates this realization about men.

 

2nd Caller Brian, he’s not there.

 

3rd Caller Tony, he’s 33 calling from Seattle and comments on the changes over the past 30yrs and asks Adam how he has adapted to change so well and how he learned to be so open to do so.

Adam says it’s good to know what you know and better to know what you don’t know, he talks about providing the content end of his business and never learning to type, he pays other people to do that.

Adam says successful people don’t worry about the future, the future solves itself as you focus on the present.

 

Adam says it’s akin to asking him if he regrets having triplets, no, that’s a weird place to be and to ponder, don’t waste your time.

BB and Gina are now commenting on the poor dialogue choices from the ‘Best Adapted Screenplay’ category and he jokes about the preceding clip being so generic it could’ve come from an episode of ‘Small Wonder’ and asks why you’re even bothering to pull that clip.

Adam takes it back to the Awards Show and the lame dialogue choices used, Adam is reacting to ‘Carol’ and peppering in some light commentary over it.
