ACS: Glen Phillips Sep 17, 2010

Show notes

Adam welcomes Toad the Wet Sprocket's Glen Phillips to the show, and immediately compliments him on his musical talents. Adam says it takes more energy to like certain bands, but ultimately the songs are better and the arrangements are more interesting. Glen also talks about raising his family in Santa Barbara, then plays the first song of the hour.
Adam asks Glen about the origins of the band name, and they talk about other notable bands from Santa Barbara. They start chatting about the band Dishwalla, which Adam said helped inspire a project he and Jimmy were working on called 'Kill Gallagher.' Adam and Glen talk about the famous comedian, and Adam complains that when they tried to pitch it, the comedy execs said they had no idea who he was. Adam wanted to tell them to fuck off, but Jimmy wouldn't let him.
They talk a bit more about the current status of the band, and more specifically how the band is now re-recording a bunch of the old singles so they can be licensed. They go into more depth about the financial realities of producing music, and both agree that the artists themselves used to be the last in line, but now the smart ones are cutting out the middle man and setting up their own shop.
Glen asks Adam about his recent appearance on the Savage Love Podcast. Host Dan Savage was asking Adam about threesomes, and Glen says that Adam avoided the question. Adam just wanted to restate the point that if a woman is asking for a threesome, she is essentially saying the relationship is on its way out. There are obviously exceptions to every rule, but often times we need to rely on generalizations when we don't understand something fully.
Glen plays a more recent song, which was inspired by a story he heard from fellow musician Ben Folds. Adam compliments them both on their smart lyrics, and ability to tell great stories about little slices of life. Keeping with the musician talk, Adam recalls his experience with the band Korn, and Glen talks about John Mayer staying with him before his career really took off. Adam tries to decide if Mayer is really a douche or not, but Glen says he was fine during the time he knew him. Wrapping things up, Glen plays one final song, per Adam's request.

ACS: DAG Sep 15, 2010

Show notes

Adam welcomes Taylor Morgan back to the show to fill in for Teresa and the news. During her last visit, Adam complained about the difficulties of having to pee while on stage, so Taylor has come prepared with a gift: a travel john. Essentially a rubber bag you can pee in, Adam thoroughly enjoys the gift, and talks about the various times he would need it.
Taylor jumps into the news, opening with the 33 miners still trapped in Chile. Taylor reports that they are now for the first time getting power and cigarettes, even though they anticipate to be stuck down there through December. Adam also suggests the miners have smelled like ass from day one, and says they'll probably want to return to the cave once they're out. Other news stories revolve around a mother in England banned from going online, Reggie Bush forfeiting his Heisman trophy, and Chelsea Handler's upcoming sex tape.

ACS: DAG Sep 14, 2010

Show notes

Adam is back from being on the road with Mike August and Donny. They traveled to Sacremento, Seattle, and Portland, and Adam says everything's better than here in Los Angeles. He praises the other cities for their light rail systems, and quickly turns his eye back to complaining about dirty airports and their terrible security policies. He also complains about the trendy hotel they stayed in while in Portland, and Donny speaks up to second how terrible the service was.
Larry Miller is brought in just as the news begins. He has a quick story about Adam's wife, and Adam talks about hot chicks and body movements. Teresa then discusses the recent VMAs, and both she and Adam criticize Chelsea Handler for a lackluster performance. They watch the sketch she filmed with Lindsay Lohan, and agree that she didn't do a great job either. Larry is largely out of touch with the people involved in the show, but he does get a laugh out of seeing Chelsea's ass slapped so many times. Teresa also mentions Oprah's first episode of her last year, and Adam prepares for non-stop Oprah watch.
David Alan Grier comes in studio, and teases Teresa about not being able to do the show as long as she's in the room. He and Adam talk about DAGs performance in Race, and DAG gives Teresa crap for not seeing it. Adam also recalls hanging out in at a secret bar with DAG after the show, and DAG talks about his dating life. Everyone gets to talking about book blurbs, and Adam conveys a story about his miscommunication with Alec Baldwin. Teresa also talks about getting a blurb from Dr. Drew, but DAG says there is still tension between them.
Larry Miller compliments DAG on one of the 'great comedy snores.' Larry reminisces about the first time he cracked him up in person, and DAG also comments on the Chelsea's performance at the VMAs. DAG defends that she was great, and says that 'nothing breeds contempt like success.' Adam then tells the controversial story of when he went to see Race, and DAG talks about acting on Law and Order. Later, both Adam and DAG talk about their families, and the pleasures of raising a daughter.

ACS: Football with Dameshek and Hench Sep 13, 2010

Show notes

Every Monday, enjoy shows recorded live at The Happy Ending Bar on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood. This week, Cousin Sal, Dave Dameshek, and Kevin Hench are seated with Adam, getting their drink on and enjoying the day's games. Adam says he's going to be drunk at three different times today, and talks about abandoning The Rams for good this season.
After a brief discussion of Christmas lights, Adam talks about the first time he met Cousin Sal. Sal is a 'degenerate gambler' and talks about some of the bets he's placed this season. The guy also discuss Sal's love of the Dallas Cowboys even though he's from New York, and Sal says his dad once brought home a Cowboys jacket from a business trip. Adam then goes on a side story about cleaning carpets.
Dameshek goes into more depth about the origins of the football gatherings. He talks about meeting with Sal and Hench, and soon after Jimmy Kimmel would watch. At last Adam would come by, but Dameshek and Hench insist that Adam didn't say a word to them for the entire season.
Since Hench has been drinking since 10am, they get on the topic of DUIs and the pleasures of getting shitfaced. Adam suggests that sobriety tests should be performed in your vehicle and not on foot. The guys pause the show to watch the Rams attempt and blow a hail mary, which doesn't surprise Adam in the least. Then they tease Hench a bit more for being dropped off by his mom, and wonder how he's going to get home.
Throughout the show, Adam attempts to tell a story about cleaning carpets at the Russian Tea Room at the Beverly Center, but almost always gets side tracked. At this point in the show, he talks about several stories with his buddies Ray and Chris and how they used to literally wipe their shit on him when they got the chance. Cousin Sal has a weird shit story as well, and talks about taking a dump in a Frito's bag.
Adam gives advice on hitting on strippers, and Dameshek complains about the most overused porn stories. Adam tells more stories about working with Ray and Chris; more specifically, the times that Chris tried to steal food at work and Ray tried to pee everywhere. Wrapping the episode up, Hench talks about being high on coke at graduation, and everyone agrees you don't really need to get a diploma to be successful.

ACS: Dave Dameshek Sep 10, 2010

Show notes

After an ad for the new It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia soundtrack, Adam welcomes Suzy McCoppin to the studio. She talks about growing up in Detroit, studying drama at NYU, and now writing columns for Playboy magazine. She says she's a big fan of the podcast, and compliments Adam on the show's nuances. Donny also pops in with news of a month-long Stitcher contest where the winners will be flown to LA to watch a recording of the podcast.
In the news, a Japanese scientist has discovered a sound that could increase breast size when listened to. Also in the world of unusual science, there is now a new procedure to take the sugar from diabetic pee and turn it into whiskey. They also discuss new Chinese park benches equipped with a timer and spikes to limit seating time, and a guy who had an eel slide up his ass when he fell into a tank. Adam also asks Suzy for advice on dealing with his daughter.
Dave Dameshek comes in studio, and talks about his new gig working for NFL.com's weekly Fantasy Football discussion. Dave also teases the upcoming series of podcasts where Adam and the gang will be watching football games at Happy Endings on Sunset, and anyone in the public is welcome to join. Adam mentions that Jimmy Kimmel was tired of hosting at his house, and they also tease Dawson for being banned after correcting Jimmy about making a proper calzone.
Next, Gaywalking is brought back to the podcast. We ask straight questions to gay guys, and everyone in the studio votes on whether or not they will know the correct answer. It's a close match all the way through, and partway through the game they go on a long tangent about people who smell bad, and the cultural differences between what we consider to smell good.
Adam and Dave start talking about athletes with very odd names, and Adam compares it to vanity license plates on cars. Just like there are limits to what you put on your car, shouldn't we also limit what you can name your child? Keeping with the sports talk, Adam talks about the relationship between booze & cigarettes and sports & society. He praises the power of booze and suggests there are many important things we would never have if people didn't get shit-faced. Finally, the group discusses sports announcers and commercials that try to be funny, and also a series of boxing nicknames.
Catch Dr. Funny Dave Dameshek on the Daves of Thunder podcast, right here on the ACE Network. He can also be seen on NFL.com's Live Fantasy Football shows, every Sunday morning.

ACS: Illeana Douglas Sep 09, 2010

Show notes

Teresa's back with the news for the day, and can't wait to swear publicly again. She talks about her new job working AM radio, and Adam dissects the difference between AM and FM listeners. Adam also complains about the DVR status bar when he's trying to watch Inglorious Basterds or sports, but Bald Bryan gives him some helpful advice.
Subtly transitioning into the news, Teresa brings up the story of a drunk guy who pulled a knife on the cops and ended up getting shot. The question remains whether or not the officers used excessive force, but Teresa points out they were bicycle cops without tasers or pepper spray. Based on another cop story, Adam pitches a new hit TV series for Avi to star in, and later Teresa brings up Florida Pastor Terry Jones and his Koran burning. Teresa and Adam also discuss the latest ESPN 30 for 30: One Night in Vegas, Tyson and Tupac.
Illeana Douglas comes in studio, and jokes about playing spin the bottle in Adam's basement. She and Adam discuss how their last names have screwed up their ethnic reputations, and Illeana also mentions a publicity stunt involving Feng shui.

Illeana also mentions that she'll be on Entourage this Sunday, and had a great time filming.
Adam asks Illeana about her new webseries, 'Easy to Assemble.' Adam auditions for a guest appearance, and he and Illeana figure out what his role would be. They also talk about the ensemble cast of the series, and Illeana mentions how she auditioned for the role of Adam's wife on his sitcom. Adam talks about being uncomfortable during the entire audition process, and mentions the emotional breakdown he watched Rosanna Arquette experience first hand.
Back into the news, Joel McHale is going to be in Spy Kids 4. They talk about how great Joel's career is doing these days, and Adam compares it to his own career, saying he's forced to do stand up now because he doesn't have a regular job. Teresa closes with a happy story out of Florida where a woman got fired from her job, then married to the same man one year later. Adam goes on a rant about mass rebellion against the things we don't like, and ends the show joking about the Piña Colada song, sung by Rupert Holmes.

Show notes

Adam opens up with a story about a censored racing shirt, which gets him talking about the personalized firesuit he was going to have made for him. He goes on rant about his wife's inability to sew, but Donny chimes in to defend the female perspective. Adam goes on a long rant about the benefits of having a handy husband, and suggests that his wife needs to do her share of the grunt work.
Filling in with the news today is the ACE Network's own Blaster Girl Katie. Before jumping in, she and Adam go over an article from 1997 that Adam found explaining 'who's in, who's out.'

Katie asks Rep Martin a question that gets everyone talking about abortion and Christianity, but soon things move back to the news. Jordan Van der Sloot is sorry for telling so many stories about Natalee Holloway, but Adam says 'you're either involved in a murder, or you aren't.' They wrap up the show discussing a couple teenagers who accidentally messaged a local sheriff asking for weed, and a few people in their 90s and upward that continue to work on a regular basis.

ACS: Donal Logue Sep 07, 2010

Show notes

Adam and Donal get right into discussing the new FX series, 'Terriers'. They both agree that FX has good billboards, but Adam says he didn't know what the show was about. They also talk about Donal's work in Ghost Rider, and Adam complains about a movie mistake that no one on the set managed to figure out. Donal says the people on set were incredibly nice and friendly, and that he'd always 'rather work in that [environment] than in something pretentious.'
Adam gets on the topic of Hydrogen bombs and warheads, and points out that even though the bombs have destructive powers, we blow up more on our own soil than in other countries. He also starts talking about the WWII Pacific Theater that his uncle experienced first hand, and he and Donal discuss the mentality of the Japanese military at the time.
Jumping back into the personal journey of Donal Logue, he talks about his parents and growing up originally in Boston. At a certain point, he moved to Calexico, which sends Adam into a jag about cities with 'spanishy sounding names.' Adam asks Donal about attending Harvard, and Donal says he thought he was going into politics until his friends introduced him to punk rock.
Adam and Donal start talking about the troubles with 'lying to people in our society.' More specifically, as they apply to call times when you're an actor on set. Adam and Donal agree that they're being treated like children, when the reality is they are always prompt and always waiting anyway. Adam goes into a story about an advertising campaign for Lance Snack Crackers, where he had to be the 'Man on the Street,' asking people to sample the food. Adam wanted to shoot all the footage in a day, but was instead dragged all over the country.
Wrapping up the show, Adam talks with Donal about his character 'Jimmy the Cab Driver.' Rainn Wilson evidently did a similar bit, and Donal plainly states 'you can't rip people's stuff off.' Adam is reminded of another weird taxi cab bit, performed by comedy duo Burns and Schreiber. Donal and Adam complain about how unfunny 'Who's On First' is, and also get a chance to watch the aforementioned Burns and Schreiber sketch.
'Terriers' premieres September 8th at 10pm on FX.

ACS: Jeffrey Ross Sep 06, 2010

Show notes

Adam opens the show with a thank you to his fans and a round of What Can't Adam Complain About. Topics range from fake tits to urinal dividers.
Comedian/Roastmaster Jeff Ross then comes out to help with the news. Isaac Hayes chimes in with some thoughts on the most recent Comedy Central Roast, and Adam talks about his interview with Isaac just before he died. Jeff talks a bit more about the roast and writing his own material, and even tells a few racially charged jokes that never made it to air. Adam makes fun of David Hasselhoff's hair, and asks the ladies in the audience why men have to shave everything now.
In the news, Larry King may be leaving CNN, but he's working with Ryan Seacrest to relaunch his radio career. Adam says that Seacrest doesn't play an instrument so he shouldn't get as much play as he does. Speaking of ladies men, Jeff talks about going to a John Mayer concert, and having John say he was going back to Jeff's place to get high after the show. They talk a bit about medical marijuana, and Adam tells the story of getting high at the Sex and the City 2 premiere and getting stopped by the TMZ paparazzi.
Also in the new, nearly 90,000 prison inmates were reportedly sexually abused last year-often by the guards themselves. Adam offers commentary on the commitment of 'cornholing' and was surprised to hear that many of the guards were females. The gang also talks about Jewish kids being sent to summer camp, and Attorneys General trying to discontinue the Craig's List adult services section.
After an animated segment of Adam and Bryan Cranston pitching a film called 'Gay-Eye,' everyone plays a round of Totally Topical Tivo Trivia. Once a winner is named, Donny helps bring up a bunch of old photos of Early Adam (sorry kiddies, you'll have to see him live if you want to see the pics!) Adam goes into more detail about the 'never ending love affair' between his parents, and rants at his family for always looking bored when taking pictures. Wrapping up the show, Adam talks about his Catholic Little Brother Nate, and his fat pasty Russian friend named Tim.
