Show Page

Adam is opening the show with Alison and BB in studio along with Neel Chatterjee making his ACS debut in just a few, I can’t tell if he’s outside the studio or sitting off mic quietly.

Adam is teasing the appearance of Neel while he bringing up his bill for last month’s legal fees trying to get the venue for the Patent Troll lawsuit moved to more neutral ground.

Adam is back to the 22k check he had to cut for October’s attorney bill and Alison’s team player reaction is very nice to hear.

Adam is now citing the “Maintenance Man” vs. KROQ settlement over his wrongful termination claims.

Adam is now declaring his intent to fight this thing and how they intend to “shove it up everyone’s fucking ass” with a crowd sourcing plan among him and the other most popular podcasters.

 

Adam has a remark about this being like a feel good 80’s movie and Alison has a series of hilarious references, complete with a Jennifer Aniston nose job dig.

Adam is now spelling out the plan of how we’re going to fight these people and now let our industry be ruined in its infancy.

Adam is declaring his intent to win a victory for all and BB is now pumping in an enthusiastic music bed.

Superfan Interruption : I wonder how man of the “Cool Guy Comedy Club” members will fight alongside Adam and save their only hope at a 2nd career or will choose to let him fight alone willing to lose their only shot at longevity if it means something negative for Adam and his fans.

 

BB is jumping in to joke about the Texas live shows after he presumes these efforts fail, nice team player BB!

Alison has some inspirational “save podcasting” quotes and is really being a team player in way I find refreshing.

Adam is now explaining how he doesn’t know shit about these claims against him and how you don’t need to know anything as “anyone can sue anyone over anything at any time” supersedes any legal protection you try to put in place.

Neel is being a good sport and has a funny Jon Lovitz comment that Adam tops with an observation on their comparative comedic chops, Adam is now telling BB to drop himself into shutting up.

Neel is now giving his take on the patent owner suing Carolla Digital, trying to ruin all of our favorite thing, which employs many, many people.

Adam is now giving some very logical points about the time and place for actual patents and preventing the little guy from being screwed over by conglomerates and how it differentiates from extortion and shakedown.

Neel says the only way to remedy this is to implement laws to make frivolous claims result in punitive financial impact.

Adam has another great analogy and Neel is sharing the president’s “loser pays” angle for the potential laws that could be put in place to prevent future shakedowns.

 

Adam has another great analogy and Neel is saying he will be dead by the time the patent laws could change, Adam is not shocked at this reply and Neel is sharing how courts can choose to have you reimbursed for your attorney fees.

Neel is now telling the guys about the Winklevoss twins and their newfound interest in bitcoin, he’s going in depth on their recent forays into this currency.

Alex is now joining the show for her ACS debut, she has a long history with Adam first meeting him almost 20 years ago at the ACME theater, Adam was pals with her husband Doug Jackson/Jackson Douglas (don’t ask).

She guested on Loveline in Family Guy’s initial run, early 2000 with Seth MacFarlane who had a cold at the time and proceeded to recorded several drops in character that would be used still to this day, very distinctive sound on those.

She later guested July of 2004 and April of 2005, the former being the episode where Adam and Alex somehow worked Rosa Parks and Anal Sex into the same improv riff that resulted in a forced “on air” apology the next night.

Her last known appearance on with Adam was on the KLSX Adam Carolla Morning Show on September 8th of 2006, over 7 years ago.

 

Adam is once again reminiscing about Alex’s husband Jackson and his 3rd story shopping cart, Adam is acting surprised but Alex is right, they have had this conversation before on 2004 Loveline.

Adam is riffing up a storm as the faceless and nameless DJ doing the horrible intro, 50k watt flamethrower of truth, this is gold!

Adam is now the new sheriff and wants the ladies to pull out the boobies and get knocked up in the kitchen, hilarious funicular callback.

 

BB pulls the music bed and cuts Adam short, Adam is now back to the Rick Dees thing.

BB suggest Carolla Tards, which is really not cool. Alison steps in and says that term was not one of endearment, thanks Alison!

SUPERFAN INTERRUPTION: Marc Maron takes credit for coining the term BB referenced, I then explained to him in person at the Carolla Digital Studio that the people he was dealing with online weren’t even Carolla listeners but just using him as a shell comedian to make Marc feel bad, Marc never used the term again after that conversation in 2010.
