Show Summary
At the top of the show, Adam recalls his parody song writing days, and Gina plays a video from her relaxing and surprising birthday weekend. Adam then talks about the power behind controlling people’s language, and gives an update on finishing the audiobook. Later, Adam plays a clip from Tyler Perry’s bizarre TV show, and the group briefly discusses this past weekend’s beach protests in Southern California. Before the break, Adam talks about putting together a comedy video for charity, and everyone plays a Rob Lowe themed round of the Rotten Tomatoes Game.
Gina begins today’s news talking about Joe Biden’s claims that the sexual assault of Tara Reade never happened. They also discuss Jerry Seinfeld’s $100 million Netflix deal, and how Pixar and smartphones changed the way people think about work. Later- Gina reads stories about working from home faux-pas, the return of NASCAR, and Taco Bell’s at-home taco kit. In the last part of the show, Adam takes a collect call from John J. Lennon in Sing Sing Prison. The guys talk about how long he’s been incarcerated, trying to be a journalist while he’s in prison, and the politics of managing different guard personalities to get work done. As the show wraps up, they chat about what John did to get arrested, taking accountability for his actions, and trying to write about important issues.
