Adam welcomes Alanna Ubach back to the show, and they immediately begin talking about her heritage. Adam asks her to rate Mexicans and Puerto Ricans, and he also talks about pissing off his Guatemalan nanny for saying she's Mexican. Alanna talks about her father's work doing lithography for gay porn and Q-VO magazine, and Adam talks about his own experience getting a gay magazine as a gag gift.
Adam takes time to tell a couple stories from the San Genero festival and its many proud Italian-Americans. Later in the show, they watch a particularly raunchy clip from the film Showgirls, and laugh about Robert Davi's appearance in both the film and the festival.
In the news, Last Comic Standing judge Greg Giraldo was found in critical condition after experiencing an accidental overdose of prescription drugs. Adam talks a bit about the difficulties of life on the road, and the types of brains that benefit from doing drugs.

Adam and Alanna discuss the tragedy, and talk about the hottest day on record here in Los Angeles.
Larry Miller is back in studio, and says he's in a bad mood. Earlier they watched the clip from Showgirls, and Larry says that he was up for the same part as Robert Davi. Adam complains about how casting directors are always the opposite gender of the part they are reading for, and wonders why it has to be that way. Before Larry heads out, they play a few rounds of the Hypothetical Road Trip Game.
Director Andy Fickman is back on the show, and talks about his newest film, 'You Again'. Adam reminds Andy that the last time he was in studio, they were talking about another of his films, 'Race to Witch Mountain', starring Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. Andy talks about working under the Disney banner, and also his earlier experiences working in advertising and theater trying to work his way up. They also spend time talking about some of Andy's favorite actors to work with, including The Rock, and also Anna Farris.
Alanna finishes up the news talking about Jeffrey Jones' recent guilty plea for not updating his sex offender registration. The punishment involves (among other things) 250 hours of community service, and this leads Adam into complaints about the filthy roads here in LA. Also in the news is a controversy surrounding the winner of Australia's Next Top Model, and wrapping up the show, Alanna jokes about her Swedish husband's drinking and smoking habits, comparing them to Americans.

Adam sits down one-on-one to talk with Ken Burns about his latest documentary, ‘Baseball: The Tenth Inning.’ It’s a continuation of his previous Baseball documentary, and covers everything from 1992 to yesterday. Adam compliments Ken on several of his previous documentaries, and Ken talks about editing everything up until the last second. They also talk a bit about Mark Twain, and other documentaries they’ve enjoyed over the years.
Ken discusses growing up loving baseball, but realizing he knew very little about the sport. He says that he likes to look at each new project as an immersion into something new. He talks about his upcoming projects, including specials on the dustbowl era, prohibition, and the Vietnam war. Adam finds out more about the documentary process, and the guys talk about some of their favorite baseball moments. Ken says it’s crucial to tell a story when you make a documentary, and especially with baseball it has to be more than just statistics or who won.
After some discussion about the debilitating effects of steroids, Adam talks about his own career playing baseball in high school. This leads him into a story about filling in for Tommy Lasorda to be the Grand Marshall of Mardi Gras, and also an in depth comparison of baseball to softball.
Adam finds out more about a ‘normal day’ for Ken Burns, which seems to revolve around either being on the road promoting, or locked in an edit bay ‘trying to make something better out of the footage.’ Ken discusses how unique it is to have a series on PBS where you can have over two hours of uninterrupted content, and talks about how they raise money and research their topics. They also talk about some of the more complex themes that Ken has had to discuss over the years, and the ‘vow of poverty’ he took to become a documentarian.
One of Ken’s upcoming projects is about prohibition, but Ken says it’s really about right wing single issue campaigns that grow out of control. They talk about smear campaigns, and all the unintended consequences of prohibition; including organized crime, female alcoholism, and all sort of other social transformations. Ken also offers a reason for the world’s obsession with alcohol, and relates everything to escapism. Lastly, the guys discuss the sensitive subject of race issues here in America, and Adam is very impressed with Ken’s opinions and wealth of knowledge.
Definitely check out the new Ken Burns documentary, ‘Baseball: The Tenth Inning’. It premiers on PBS, September 28th and 29th.

Joining Adam and Cousin Sal this week is Mighty Mighty Bosstones frontman Dickie Barrett. Right off the bat, the mood is sour because all their teams lost their games for the day. Adam has to comfort Dickie on the Patriots performance, and compares being a fan for that team to raising your kid with a wacky religion—it should be considered abuse.
Everyone in the group discusses the new film, ‘The Town’. (NOTE: Light spoilers throughout this section of audio). Overall, Adam says he enjoyed the movie but that it sort of coasts towards the end. They also have an in-depth discussion about several of the actors’ performances, and wonder whether this movie puts Ben Affleck ahead of Matt Damon in terms of success.
Dickie cracks a joke about not needing to watch the football games closely in preparation for recording these episodes. Adam takes note and talks with Cousin Sal about the day’s games. They discuss their top three favorite teams, and offer commentary on major players like Ben Roethlisberger and Brett Favre.

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.

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.

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. Adam transitions the conversation to Illeana’s work in Scorcece’s ‘Cape Fear’, and they talk about a bunch of the director’s other movies, along with other Illeana’s experiences working on set. 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.
