Show notes

Adam welcomes Natasha Leggero back to the show, this time filling in with the news. He goes right into a rant about the Chantix commercials, and other medical products that have insanely long disclaimers at the end of the advertisements. Adam eventually goes on a long rant about how we're all being slowly depressed by overexposure of advertisements, and that 'lawyers are shaping our society'. He also spends more time complaining about airport security lines.
The top news story is Paris Hilton's Vegas arrest. Recently there is some mystery surrounding her use of Twitter while in prison, and Adam wonders if we're even judging her actions at this point. He and Natasha go on a jag about people becoming famous for sex tapes, and society's apparent lack of shame. Adam also talks about watching the Emmys, drawing comparisons between Charo and Modern Family's Sofia Vergara.
Also in the news is more on the Ground Zero Mosque. A politician is trying to get a tradition started to burn the Koran on 9/11, but Adam can't believe that we're still talking about this religion stuff in 2010. He goes on another huge rant, this time about people who won't shut up about their religious views, and how they're destroying society. Natasha tries to defend some of the brighter sides of religion, but Adam insists on comparing it to AA meetings and football rivalries.
Superfan Giovanni comes in studio with a big announcement regarding Adam's movie commentary tracks. He also talks about seeing all of Adam's recent live shows, and walking around the city with Adam talking about The Fast and The Furious series. Adam complains about movie prequels, and spends time praising Jane Lynch for all of her successes since being in The Hammer.
Giovanni also corrects Adam on a long-running misunderstanding about the North Hollywood shootout. In short, a bank robbery lead to police officers allowing one of the gunmen to bleed out, and later the mother tried to sue the police for letting her son die without sending an ambulance. Giovanni has done research, and confirms the mother was unsuccessful in her attempts to sue.
During the last part of the podcast, Adam riffs with Giovanni and Bald Bryan on a number of old stories from the Loveline days at Westwood One studios; the interviews, the disagreeable interns, and the complete lack of respect and professionalism he felt while working there. He talks to Natasha about the realities of working in the radio industry, and offers stories of Dr. Drew undermining him at every turn. He wraps it up by saying the only note he ever got from producers was 'more calls and shut up.'

ACS: Adam and You Aug 27, 2010

Show notes

It's been some time since Adam took listener calls, so he's very excited to jump right into it. The first caller just wants to see him perform live, and Adam tells her details about his two upcoming shows tomorrow at the Melrose Improv. Another caller asks him about 'Mangria,' and afterwards, Adam gets into a conversation with Bald Bryan about Undercover Boss and going to college at USC.
Next, Adam takes a 'controversial call' from a criminal defense attorney, who explains the standard excuses that various ethnicities use when involved in a domestic violence situation. Adam goes on a rant about America always kicking its own ass for being racist, but really we are more selective than that. He talks more about the education system, and says that we are doing a disservice by pretending it's everyone's problem, when it's really focused on specific minorities.
Adam also takes a call from an Australian listener, and contemplates going Down Under sometime. They talk about everything from racing cars to comedy music to the tax system. Adam also asks some questions about whether or not listeners abroad feel a disconnect when he rants about local issues, but he's happy to hear that most listeners are just glad to have something to laugh about.
The next caller asks Adam about the decline of boxing popularity, and how he thinks it can be brought back into the main fold. Adam suggests some fights he'd like to see, and also some great fights he recalls seeing in the past. Adam also takes a call about personalized license plates, and teases Bryan about family members all named after the same letter.
A female caller would like to know how old is too old to start having a family, and another female caller puts her daughter on the line to do a killer Carolla impression. For the final call of the day, someone asks Adam why he doesn't try putting his name on a vineyard or wine bottle. Both Adam and Bald Bryan think it's a spectacular idea.
