Adam is opening the show with some enthusiasm and BB has some choice drop work. Adam is plugging the upcoming live show at his Malibu home and BB is weighing in as he was at the last one of these charity festivals, ShakesBeer in 2009.
Adam is telling the gang about his trip to the children’s hospital with his fellow long beach grand prix celebrities and the deeper level of comradery that develops among the super competitive crew.
Adam is now sharing a picture of him and a little girl at the hospital that you can find on the show page, Alison is jumping in and they have a funny “tutu” related back and forth.
Adam is explaining how they get a briefing on what to not say to the kids, he’s about to explain the annual “walking of the track” after the children’s hospital visit.
BB jumps in to ask if any of the celebrities have cred with the kids after Adam explains the children are excited to see the celebrities regardless of whether they know who they are.
Adam is now explaining how he was requested to visit with a 15yr old kid who was sequestered in his private room and wanted to speak with the nurse as Adam was leaving.
Adam is now telling the gang about hanging with his fellow racers Michael Trucco and Brett Davern.
Adam is giving an update on the letter from his mom, Alison chimes in to help flesh out his explanation.
Adam is explaining the follow up “I’ll pass” email from his step-dad.
Adam is describing the winner’s ceremony with Sonny from last year as one of the best moments of his life and hopes to recreate it with Natalia this year.
Adam is explaining the race and his role as a “pro” this year as opposed to a celebrity racer and Alison has a nice call back to the episode with Helio and his possible attitude towards Adam’s racing/dancing skills.
Al is now joining the show for his ACS debut, Adam is asking him about the Daily Show hiatus for Jon Stewart and Al is explaining his ranking over there.
Al is now explaining the premise behind the name of his new comedy special and Al is referencing the “Cholo dad” phenomena of Los Angeles that Adam touched on during the Children’s hospital story.
They’re having a great female bodybuilding conversation with some hilarious quotes from Adam.
Adam is wrapping with Al and has a funny one liner about what Alison observes as a possible new medical condition, great under the breath topper from A-Rose before Adam jumps to a live read.
Adam is now sharing a recent traffic encounter that involved several of his classic moves including the “honk through” as pointed out by BB.
Alison and BB are adding to the story and making it funnier, Adam is going super specific and asking what was going through the “reptilian serial killer” mind of the in between car.
Adam is threatening to get that tugboat horn and predicting his possible (Great Magnet forbid) fate in result, Alison has a funny observation about him going out doing what he loved.
Adam is now launching into his “move it along” rant/idea and BB has a brilliant observation about Adam’s finger snaps, Adam is rolling with it and it’s great!
Trevor is now also making his ACS debut and explaining how he became the world’s youngest published cartoonist, Alison is jumping and getting him to elaborate about his parent’s role.
Trevor is explain how his parents came to have the number #2 Christian music single in North America and Adam has a terrific and possibly accurate Sonny Bono/Cher analogy complete with a great closing line that Bryan tops with a killer whisper of a joke, do not miss it!
Adam is now explaining the premise of “Shazam!” and going super in depth on how shitty television was created in the 1970’s, his theories seem to be completely accurate.
Adam is bringing it back to Trevor’s upbringing for some closing tags and jokes about cartooning.
Adam is laying into Charles Schulz and giving him a hard time from 6ft above, BB has a question about an added character to “Happy Days” and they’re riffing about Mork spinning off from the show, but I have a feeling BB was referencing the first “Ted McGinley” transplant in television history.
