Adam welcomes Shawn Hatosy to the show, also known as Detective Sammy Bryant from the hit TV show Southland. Just hearing the name of the show, Adam is reminded of a recent "Diversity Conference Call" he had to sit through pertaining to his new NBC pilot. Adam referred to the woman on the call as Cinco de Maya Angelou, and she was yelling at everyone to be more respectful of Hispanic culture. At one point she recalled that every Mexican on the show Southland was a Mexican gangbanger. Adam points out to Shawn, "You had a Hispanic partner [on the show], but you named him Nate instead of Jaime, and you fuckin’ dropped the ball. You fucked up royally." Shawn asks Adam if he also had to deal with a sexual harassment meeting, and Adam said he refused to attend one. He doesn’t understand why you have to go to this type of meeting if you have no previous offenses. It’s like sending someone to rehab even though they’ve never taken a sip of alcohol. If he decided to hire someone like NFL quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who has a reputation for being inappropriate with women, then he could understand. Continuing the rant against corporate BS, Adam recalls how he just got done doing a special for Dancing with the Stars. He had a joke about Niecy Nash, the full figured dancer on the show who constantly ends each dance with "I’m doin’ it for all the thick ladies!" Adam was forced to do two versions of the joke: "Listen I did Dancing with the Stars, and every time I finished a dance I didn’t announce that I was doin’ it for all the Italians that were mistaken for Jews." Surprisingly, the network chose that version instead of his alternative punch line "Chad Ochocinco doesn’t say, ‘I’m doing it for all the crazy people who’ve named themselves after Mexican numbers." Adam realizes he’s been ranting for half an hour, and wants to know Shawn’s story. Shawn says that he was into sports, but became interested in performing in musicals and other community theater. He grew up in Maryland, and Adam recalls the time he and Dr. Drew drove through town on their way to DC and came across the city Chevy Chase, Maryland. Adam has no idea what the connection is to the actor, and neither does Shawn. Shawn explains that he got cast in a few productions locally, and he was able to create a reel and head to NY. By the time he was 19, he was already working pretty much full time. The guys immediately begin discussing the art of auditioning, and how it’s very different than actually performing. There are great auditioners out there like Jeremy Piven or David Koechner, and they don’t get why those people even need to audition anymore. It reminds Adam of the difficulties in casting Amy Landecker for two scenes as his ex-wife in his new pilot. She had previously been in A Serious Man, so Adam said "good enough for The Coen Brothers, good enough to play a bit part in my sitcom." Networks still said not so fast, though eventually she got the part. He compares the audition process to a pyramid, where you have to go through many layers to get to the top. The on-screen camera tests are particularly nightmarish, and even if you make it to the network table read, you can still get fired. Adam says, "If you wanted to know when you were playing high school ball how many people actually make it to the NFL, you’d never put your cleats on." Adam says we’re plum out of time, but be sure to check out Southland on TNT. Shawn also tells people to visit the show’s Facebook page and sign the petition to get a third season ordered.

Adam welcomes Jukka and Jarppi from the new MTV television series, The Dudesons in America. The show is essentially Finland’s version of Jackass and the show is even produced by Jackass star Johnny Knoxville. Adam can’t help but notice that Jarppi is wearing a back brace. In fact, he broke his back doing one of the series first stunts and has been in the brace ever since. In discussing the type of stunts The Dudesons do, they all conclude that it’s really about coming up with more creative ideas, and not so much bigger is better. Adam wants to know more about Finnish culture, specifically their laws on censorship and various customs. It seems that it is more or less anything goes in Finland, and the signature dish is Reindeer meat. Adam asks, You drink Rudolph’s blood!? The guys also say that Bear meat is a common dish, often served with mashed potatoes and blood for gravy. Adam loves the stunts that are diabolically simple, but also wants to know if they have any major stunts planned the way that Evel Kenevil said he would jump over the Grand Canyon. Jukka and Jarppi say the one stunt they really want to pull off is having a guy wear a condom on his head and stick it up an elephant’s ass. They have yet to find the elephant willing to sign the release form. Off the air, Adam was discussing how rally car racing is extremely popular in Europe but has yet to catch on here in the States. Adam thinks it’s crazy how people line the paths of the raceway, and cars are flying everywhere while people are just sitting around drinking beers. Adam also mentions Travis Pastrana, who jumps out of airplanes without parachutes. He says someone is going to get killed eventually when that happens, will someone finally put their foot down? Jarppi says that even though they’ve had 5 hospital visits after only 8 episodes, their show is a balance of the big stunts, and also the smaller, more creative ones that they really love. Adam is reminded of the pranks he and Jimmy Kimmel had to come up with for their Wheel of Destiny bit on The Man Show. The idea was that an audience member would spin the wheel, and they needed cruel things to inflict on people that could also be television friendly. His personal favorite was Adam pees on your wallet. Sure enough, someone landed on that space, and they immediately took his wallet out and placed it in a urinal onstage. Adam peed all over it, grabbed it by tongs and returned it. Adam is also curious about Finland’s relationship with Russia and other surrounding countries. They talk about languages and piracy, most notably how before their DVDs are released in Finland, they are already available for download in some countries. Adam remarks that it’s scary you can buy just about anything from Russia, including military supplies. All the military talk reminds Adam of a great stunt accessory that anyone has yet to use: the air cannons that are used to shoot birds into jet engines. Adam shows them videos of how these cannons work, and as they wrap up the show, Adam has the ultimate Jackass prank: build a time machine and bang your friend’s mom. Jukka says he would love to do that with Jarppi’s hot mom, and Adam says The Dudesons have been nothing less than a delight. Be sure to check out their new series, The Dudesons in America, premiering tonight (Thursday) at 10 on MTV.

Teresa Strasser and Bald Bryan join the show to give an update on Bryan’s condition, and also for some News. Bald Bryan announces he’s just celebrated his one-year anniversary of his official diagnosis. The doctor is extremely pleased with the results, the brain tumor has shown no growth. Teresa jumps into the news, but Adam is wearing glasses!? Adam explains the first time he realized he needed them was when he was sitting in a dark restaurant with Eric Stromer of Top Gear. "Whenever I read I need to put on glasses, but the jokes on my eyes. I don’t read! Haha, take that brain!" Adam also recalls later that same night, Eric began choking on food. Adam basically did nothing but watch. Even Eric remarked "wow, you just stared at me while I was choking." The first major news story is Seth MacFarlane comparing the new Arizona immigration law to Nazi Germany. Adam says [summarized]: We have a rule, if you want to come into this country, there are the hurdles you need to hop over if you decide to hop the fence instead of the hurdles, then we have a right to ask you if you have the paperwork. We’re not gonna put you in an oven, we’re not gonna beat the shit out of you, we’re just gonna transport you back. What’s the problem with that? Teresa also talks about Sandra Bullock adopting a baby, surprised that she was able to keep it a secret for so long during the Oscars and the Jessie James scandal. They also talk about the hot-button topic of interracial adoption, but Adam says, "let’s leave the race alone for a while. She’s donated a lot, she wants to adopt a child, shut the fuck up. Don’t we have bigger problems than this?" After a round of Totally Topical TiVo Trivia, the gang discusses the David Boreanaz cheating scandal. Ultimately Adam concludes that a woman will never forgive you for it, you just have to move on. Evan and Gregg Spiridellis of JibJab.com enter the studio. Adam finds out how they went from their beginnings making viral videos like This Land is Your Land to becoming an internet sensation. They say they got their beginnings sending videos to friends, and ultimately benefitted by expanding their business to items like eCards. The whole group gets into a discussion about Twitter, and how perhaps Tweeting too much can take the sheen off your rock star status. Adam says that he doesn’t need to know that Nikki Sixx is having the same problems killing moths as he does. Another news story involves Lindsay Lohan playing porn star Linda Lovelace in the upcoming biopic. Adam jokes that Geraldo Rivera will be playing Harry Reems. Teresa also mentions the recent drug troubles that Michael Douglas’ son has been going through, and a final news story about obese children being teased by their peers. To wrap up, Evan and Gregg explain a brand new series of JibJab e-cards related to Star Wars, where you can upload photos and cast yourself as a character for two-minute funny retellings of the movie. Adam thanks our sponsor again, and signs off.
