Adam thanks Norm Pattiz the man responsible for Loveline and a myriad of other some would argue great achievements and the guy who brought me into the Classic Loveline fold, apparently Norm provided a private jet and Adam says he’s like the rich uncle he never had.
Adam explains it was him, Mike August, Chris Maxipada (Laxamana) and of course Sonny, Adam says he’s enjoying this life through Chris’ enjoying free food and the luxury of the fringe benefits of celebrity and wealth.
Adam is bringing up the total cost for the trip, telling them about cutting through a red light and describes the colossal pussy who wouldn’t stop honking at him, Adam says there is a little dispute over whom honked.
Chris is confirming it had to the be first guy behind them and Adam says the light cycled twice and calls Adam’s move “ballsy” and further describes the scene.

Adam calls the horn the “pussy button” much to the delight of Chris, I love this ranting!
Gina asks Chris if he was a little bit afraid and Matt confirms they all did a bit of a woo/wee noise and Gina nicely references Natalia and her zip line glee.
Adam is further describing why this was safe, it took place in Van Nuys and he tells the staff to try and book the people in charge of traffic in the city.
Adam says fuck everyone and further urges people to liberate themselves with civil disobedience, to help change broken laws and this flawed system.
Adam is describing how much joy Sonny experienced in the private jet and Chris confirms how spectacular it was for him, he says he can’t even describe it, Adam and he enjoyed some high grade scotch, sounds wonderful!
Adam is talking about the joys of private flight and now getting to full and self-service gas stations, Adam is remarking on the photo of them boarding the private jet.

Gina asks how Sonny got home with Nate and Chris, Adam says there was a little controversy regarding the way he was coaching Sonny up the whole time to empower him in the hotel.
Adam is explaining how Sonny was getting ready to leave and sent him down to the lobby, Adam told him he wasn’t going to walk him to the lobby and describes how Chris sent him a confirmation text 3min later.
Adam felt very safe giving him the independence to walk to the lobby on his own, very cool that is a good move. Adam fears he could catch heat at home for bringing this up (sorry dude you pay me to do this).

BB claims that Howard must come up all of the time on the show, they now play a clip of the hosts reacting to him after he was off the line.
These hosts are incompetent and completely wrong, Gary says that one of them went on to say that Adam and Lynette took a road trip with Howard and his wife, perhaps referring to the Adam and Dr. Drew live tour.

Gary is now on the liner adding some funny backstory that puts Adam in a better mood, Gina says the listeners to her show really enjoyed his appearance.

Gina’s News
1st Story is on the sentencing for Ross Ulbricht, Gina brings up the recent appearance of Alex Winter on the ACS #1575 promoting ‘Deep Web’ his new excellent, heartbreaking and masterfully constructed documentary covering ‘The Silk Road’ available for free on Epix.

BB has a funny “earn your way out of prison by fixing the medical system” idea that Natasha seems to love.
Adam is further bringing up his idea and Gary is now misinforming Adam and Gina backs him up saying that Ross ordered two murders, this was recorded before the doc premiered so they probably don’t know.
Actual multiple people were using the ‘Dread Pirate Robert’s login and the FBI has several suspects, the “non-biased Judge” then overruled the defense saying they could not bring up the prosecution’s own evidence regarding their multiple suspects nor the two federal agents who allegedly stole over 1.5 million in bitcoin and transferred it into their personal accounts.
Ross may be framed, at the very least this is entrapment as the federal agent brought the topic of murder up and then further baited the person using that login to agree to more murders, in all of the murder cases not one person was dead and two of the names are fictitious.
The murder charges were never filed but left on the court documents in order to subconsciously prejudice the jury against Ross and prevent him from receiving a fair trial.
