Adam opens recording number #2 by sharing how he’s been tweeted by fans about the corrective childhood helmets being a scam.

Dawson is now reading the chapter from Adam’s first book “In 50 years we’ll all be chicks” about the corrective helmets.

Adam is now asking about the collective misery of wearing this helmet for 23hrs per day, Adam is bringing up how miserable this helmet made Sonny, citing that infamous moment in the summer of 2007 or 2008 where he witnessed the one bead of sweat fall into Sonny’s eye.

“Hooray for Baldywood”

BB gives it an A
Adam is now asking him if the doc was steered would it have gotten the missing love from the Academy Awards, Adam wants to know if it’s even handed does that prevent it from being awarded.

Adam says he loves the Antin’s self-starting motor that has resulted in such incredible success.
Adam is asking her how and where they grew up and she’s giving them her journey.
She’s telling them about her family and siblings, one of her brothers Steve was the jock boyfriend character in “Goonies” and she’s getting to the other acting work of her Brother Neil, she mentions Steve’s movie “Burlesque” and praises it as a good movie, nobody says anything.
Adam is amazed how they have an almost old-school showbiz family.
Alison laments why she watched “Sheer Cut” instead of “Blow Out” and Adam has a killer Betamax joke, BB is still pretending he’s never heard of the show despite at least being aware of it from when Robin and Jonathan guested on the KLSX ACS, Adam was OBSESSED with Blow Out.
