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.’ Bald Bryan chimes in to complete the article’s various puns. Heading into the news, recently a man tweeted while having a heart attack, and Florida pastor Terry Jones still insists his followers burn the Koran on September 11th. Adam goes on a rant about the non-existence of Allah and God, and he and Bryan also discuss the drama surrounded Reggie Bush’s Heisman Trophy.
Republican Representative Richard Martin is brought in studio, and talks about his relationship with his wife Jazz. Adam quickly asks him a series of important political questions, and Rep Martin shares his views. Topics involve the oil crisis, Dr. Laura, and the Ground Zero Mosque. Rep Martin also discusses ‘the gay problem,’ and shares with Adam a number of important quotes his father once said.
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. Adam goes on a jag about donating blood, and teases Dawson about the recent sound problems.

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.

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.

In memory of Robert Schimmel, we want to reprise one of his episodes. Here is Robert with Adam on October 8, 2009. RIP Robert.
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.’

Adam has just returned from doing a bit for the Tonight Show, but quickly goes on a rant about ‘foreskin reconstruction assholes.’ He welcomes today’s News girl, also the new co-host of The Parent Experiment, Susanna Brisk. They talk about Adam’s relationship with her husband, and also discuss Susanna’s views on her husband’s high profile clients.
In the news, a woman was found dead in a chimney in Bakersfield. Adam and Susanna joke about how she should have done it around Christmastime. Susanne jokes about stalking people in Australia, and Adam asks her about being an Australian Jew. He complains about Jews ruining his bagel experience, and speaks a bit more about Susanna’s husband and male emotions.
Also in the news, football player Troy Polamalu has had his hair insured for over a million dollars. Adam goes on a huge rant about ‘guys with stupid spirituality’ and says he’s ‘sick of people expressing themselves.’ In relation to the news, he thinks Troy should cut his hair above the uniform name, or get out of the league. The last news story deals with a guy who survived a suicide by crashing through the rear windshield of a car.
Harland Williams comes in and teases Adam about wearing make-up and being dressed all spiffy. They then go into a very random conversation about things lighting on fire and black people. Adam talks more about his Tonight Show bit, and how he realized he needed his glasses to read the cue cards. He and Harland also talk about having problems with spelling.
Next up, a round of the Same Name Game. Adam takes your calls to figure out celebrities with similar sounding names who look nothing alike. Harland has difficulties understanding the game throughout.
In the rest of the news, the UK Mirror reports that cocaine makes global warming worse, as it relates to deforestation. Adam says we can’t help it that people like cocaine, and admits that he himself thinks it’s awesome. Harland then tells a great story about being at Machu Piccu and getting high off coca leaves before exploring the ruins. Adam goes into a bit more depth about his experiences with coke growing up, and the reasons why he doesn’t do it anymore. The final story involves the Obama kid’s daily lives, and Adam stages a debate at the dinner table to show everyone how unresponsive his stepfather is.

Adam immediately begins discussing his hatred for Naomi Campbell and her connection with the blood diamond industry. Teresa also apologizes for something she said in a recent live show, and Adam talks about guest comedian Jeff Ross being totally on top of his game during the recording (episode will air Labor Day).
In the news, the top story revolves around the FBI’s probing of two Yemenites arrested in Amsterdam after suspicious items turned up in their luggage. Teresa explains the confusing misinformation surrounding the case, and Adam goes on a rant about the FBI’s real role in thwarting terror. The whole story reminds Teresa of a recent interview she did with Avi, the head of El Al security, and Adam imitates his voice to bring the guest back on the show to offer a wide range of what’s on his mind.
Also in the news is a discussion of the full, new Dancing with the Stars line up. Teresa points out that two women from the new cast have hit on Adam at one point, and Adam recalls an awkward conversation with one of their husbands. After a report of Elton John still considering the role of American Idol Judge, Avi returns to read the latest ad.
Adam then takes a series of listener calls asking for relationship advice. Topics range from cuddling with the wife to having her track your every move on GPS. Adam also offers his perspective on men’s intimacy issues, and doles advice for online dating.
In the rest of the news, a new study shows that moderate drinking could be the secret to living a long life. Adam just wants to know ‘can’t we agree on this shit?’ They talk about the relationship between socioeconomic class and alcohol intake, and Adam suggests that the report has many holes in it. Lastly, a young jury member posted the results of a trial on her Facebook wall before the sentence was handed down. Everyone agrees she didn’t mean any harm, but her cat looks smarter.
