Adam says that David Wild has brought his ballot in for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Gina has a funny Joan Jett comment and Adam is asking if OJ Simpson’s Heisman trophy was removed from display at USC.
BB and Adam joke about Reggie Bush having his trophy removed because he bought some rims and got his parents a house, murdering is ok though.

David has a funny “I want to invite her to so many places” line that only Gina seems to notice or react to.
Adam says as big of a dickhead as everyone thinks he is he almost never says no, his big issue is asking people to do things and finding out they didn’t do it.
BB jokes about the silent shaming that Adam does for people who ask for days off or favors, Adam has a Mangria label approval process with the ATF example, he gets pissed when the person never sent the label in, not the 3 months of bureaucracy he doesn’t like but tolerates as it’s part of life.

Adam is talking about how Natalia will not only just yell out with that “crazy Helen yell”, but she will also yell for Sonny instead of going to get him as requested.
Adam is talking about free tablets for students and how it doesn’t work out the way we intend, the notion is a great idea but giving people free shit lowers their self-esteem and causes the very systemic problems Huffpo spends all their time fretting about.
Adam talks about earning things and BB has a funny line wrapping it up.
Adam talks about his son and his crew of stuffies, David asks how much longer this will be cute for and Adam jokes about burning his house down to remedy it.

They play another clip and Adam jokes about starting a group called “concerned parents for butterflies” and he mocks the crazy people at home who spend their lives trying to ruin things or combat other people’s groups arguing about nothing.
David has a solid point about politicians tackling this issues and Adam is now talking about how they now just spend all of their energy trying to shit on the opposing side, what we really need is a smart guy in charge instead of the shitty pyramid of infighting our current political system is defined by.

Adam and David bond over their love of ‘All Mixed Up’ and Dawson plays a deep cut from ‘The Cars’ and now Adam is asking to breakdown the lyrics to see if there is anything more to it than their hits.
