Show Page

Adam opens the show complaining about the insane heat after an intro from Dawson and Lynch confirming that Adam’s dad birthday is the 14th of September.

BB says he hasn’t noticed the heat then places a Will Ferrell drop about it, clever.

Adam is citing his childhood of two-a-day practices for pop warner and how he just runs hotter, he cites Lynette and how she runs cold and her noise made about the ceiling fan making her forehead cold.

 

Adam is now ranting about Corona California, he has a nice ‘The Knack’ one liner and calls the place a scorched desert wasteland, it was 108 degrees in his car while taping ‘Catch a Contractor’ and Gary is pulling up a map of how far away and desolate the place is via Adam’s demand for a satellite view.

Adam is back to the house from the latest episode and getting confirmation on the heat, he mentions he was in Whittier all day today, he wants to know the appropriate agro scale for this, where they would be.

Adam is now setting up a “10 pubes plucked” hair removal scale, he is telling them about Sonny and the trip to the race this weekend.

 

Adam says it’s on a naval base and he was offered by the man in charge of the historic to come drop off the laminates for him and Sonny.

Adam is explaining how he was too busy to have the guy come by any time before 6pm, Adam is bringing up his depression of the day from feeling for the homeowners in addition to the heat.

Adam is now bringing up the scene from ‘Con Air’ with Steve Buscemi and the little girl in the pool, Adam is bringing up his family spending the day chilling in the nice house that he never gets to spend time in, he wishes he made enough to enjoy the home his family gets the privilege to live in.

 

Adam is bringing up his desire for a quick nap before the official stopped by with the laminates and documents for the race.

Adam gave Lynette a heads up about the guy before he took his nap, he woke up 25min later and missed the guy, and he rang the gate the second that Adam put his head down.

Adam explains that Lynette told him that he didn’t leave anything, Adam is sharing his series of follow up questions for Lynette, she brings up his signature and how he showed up as soon as Adam went to bed.

 

Adam is now exasperated describing the guy taking off without leaving any of the forms, Adam is doing the same amount of laps he did with Lynette and gives a nice “first off” about not throwing Samurai Swords at her head and telling her to fuck off for waking him.

Adam is back at how this always happens to him “I didn’t know what you wanted” and he is now sharing his typical response about them asking him, this is him being treated like a tyrant that he doesn’t feel he is but someone people paint him as being for his very minor requests for help to support them.

Adam wanted to cry, he wasn’t mad at Lynette but blames himself for pacing for 45min then passing out, Alison pulls all of her pubes out if she was in Adam’s shoes, BB says it’s a “9 pube’r” and Adam brings up the 500k contract with Telepictures that was signed by his assistant on every page.

 

Adam is now back to the insurance company and the requirement for his signature to be witnessed and BB brings up the power of attorney his wife had when he was under heavy treatment.

Adam is bringing up the good news and how his sister in law can bring the papers by on Monday night, he makes note about him not being able to witness it and moves on, and he says that Lynette wasn’t that invested in his case (this one).

Adam says he was beat on a technicality and now shares how his wife being good to him, led him to this and he says there is no meteor heading toward the earth, there will be another lap on this, it will have to be rescheduled.

 

Alison cites the book ‘Stop You’re Driving Me Crazy’ and the concept, Adam is now back to the scene with Lynette, he wants to know about her not thinking about the down the road consequences.

Adam is doing a live read for Go to Meeting.

Alison references ‘Romeo Void’ and Adam agrees with her comparison, Adam is now mocking the lyrics and the idea of being killed by other bikers, not the ones you ratted out.

Andy is in the garage and wants to know Adam’s advice about getting a new job, he says he doesn’t fit in where he lives in Utah.

Adam mocks rooftop parties in commercial messages, Adam says be satisfied in what you do and tells parents to take pride in their job, it is a job, being a homemaker, raising kids, some sexist huh internet morons?

Adam and the gang are now watching the video, I think Alison is seeing it for the first time.
