Adam is opening the show to a hilarious new #TopDrop and has a touching tribute to the late Dane Boysen, the schoolmate that was discussed on the last episode with Ray.
Adam heard from his relatives that he passed over a year ago, Adam has a beautiful analogy equating his 40+ years with that of a gift from the universe.
Adam and Ray were both bummed out and Adam is now connecting it to his wife Lynette’s late friend who died of cancer about a decade ago, Adam gave a beautiful tribute that night on Loveline with guest “Unwritten Law”.

Adam is walking them through his trek to deodorize his armpits and how he was met with a classic Hispanic maid yell, Adam ordered her to “stop it” and is explaining what he told her.
Adam says Lynette got a kick out of the incident and Adam is explaining why her being scared actually frightened him more, killer one liners from Ace.
Adam is really appreciating Lynette’s approval and enjoyment of his remarks aimed at Olga.
Adam is now taking them backstage at the show, how he usually talks with Jay about cars and how they requested he show up at 2:30 despite Simon Cowell not arriving till after 3pm in his Bentley stretch limousine.
Adam says Simon claimed he would come guest on the podcast and he loves cars, perhaps a Carcast too, score Aceman!
Adam is now telling the gang about his kids and how they show love to their parents, he’s on a tangent based off his daughter’s love of the band “One Direction”.
Adam is explaining how his daughter’s love seems to adjust based on the attention being paid to him by strangers and Sonny’s is steady in contrast.
Adam is briefly explaining the “Loews” credit card incident from last week.
Adam is explaining that Natalia found out he was “chilling with the dude who invented One Direction” and Adam was suddenly cool dad again.
Adam is now doing a quick improv contrasting his mom’s way of raising him and BB is doing a hilarious variant of a super aware and quick witted young Adam Carolla, killer stuff BB!
Adam is explaining that he doesn’t think his parents spent any time considering his opinion of them.
Alison is asking how Adam is able to handle the mood shifts from day to day, thinking she would take it too personally herself when she’s a parent.
Adam is now explaining how lucky his children are to have all the advantages and privilege he provides for them so many of their complaints are “cry me a river” in his book, interesting.
Adam is now bringing up his son who brought him his “Sky landers” cartoon on his iPad and how he actually does a voice which is coincidentally Sonny’s favorite character, awwwww!
BB is now bringing up the idea of NFL lineman and less glamorous positions having children who worship other players and QB’s.

Adam’s Favorited Tweets
Adam is bringing up his love of sports and why the meritocracy of the skill and athleticism taps into some primitive human element.
BB seems to agree and Adam’s giving his “never the owner’s son” explanation that exemplifies his point.
Adam is explaining the “Tweets of Feet’s” and he’s asking which is it when it comes to germaphobes, are we not in the era of Purell?

They’re all riffing about the toe-ciopath and now Adam is doing a “Traffic and Weather” riff for the first time in what feels like years, ah like a comfortable shoe!
They’re now commenting on a person with a shoe on table a public restaurant, Adam is connecting this to his old work boots and how gross they were.

Adam is now riffing on walking his dog, Alison wants to know what dogs must think humans are doing tagging along for all of their bathroom activities.
Adam is connecting that to the symbolic nature of the messages we’re sending to everyone in society encouraging this lazy narcissism among the populace.
Adam is telling the gang about his date night with Lynette where they enjoyed the song styling’s of the great John Hiatt, Lynette doesn’t know as many of his songs but really enjoyed the show.
Adam is now explaining how some other more famous guys are a little overrated in the song writing department compared to John.
Adam didn’t hear any of his favorite songs during the show, it was probably more of his modern stuff that I really enjoy.
Adam got to visit with John on his tour bus after the show, perhaps he’ll come on the podcast and put the new studio through its paces.
Hooray for Baldywood

They’re both discussing Gary “U.S.” Bonds and Adam has a funny comment calling back the time he ran into Frank while waiting for Seth Macfarlane.
Frank just revealed his crypt keeper-esque dinner companions have now died and Frank wants to know how Adam would’ve reacted if he was victim to the same treatment Frank claims to have received from Playboy Radio.
Adam is bringing up his 10 years at Loveline and how he never kept track of the ratings and how he only wanted success so people would leave him the fuck alone.
