Adam talks about the incident that inspired the ‘Bringing Home the Bacon’ incident and BB has a lot of confirmation noises and is really engaged but it feels kinda false, odd flow or maybe it’s his mic.

 

Adam is talking about Sonny getting sucked into a few rose bowl games and ended up rooting for UCLA, BB keeps talking about uniforms and it’s again very odd sounding, he sounds like he did on the old radio show almost.

Adam talks about tape being a durable good to him a child and BB keeps commenting after every word Adam makes, what is he doing.

BB says he must see a drunk Dr. Drew someday and Adam says it’s like having a slice of cake with Richard Simmons, it feels like a tacit ok for drinking.

 

Gary gets on mic to confirm how great it is and Adam is telling them about getting quietly drunk with Drew over the weekend, he says when someone keeps pouring it into your glass is the best way to get hammered without knowing it.

BB is now asking if Drew rooting for UCLA isn’t the ultimate form of pussy whipped, is BB suffering a cold and now being extra focused on chiming in more, hmmm?

Adam is sharing his theory on Jewish guys being fans of Bruce Springsteen and he compares his love for John Hiatt and her love for Bruce to how Drew and his wife could root for different teams.

Adam is sharing how his family doesn’t do leftovers and BB is over the top chiming in, he does have a cold and he’s trying extra to be part of the show, relax man, chill! This is difficult to listen to, I can’t quite hear Adam finish a thought and I love BB.
