Adam opens by discussing a recent walk with his dog and daughter. He has some interesting questions about dog poop etiquette, and talks about the hot Indian chick who didn’t seem to follow it. He also talks about driving his daughter up the street without her seat belt on, and how she immediately ratted him out to his wife.
Bald Bryan is covering the News, and since Comic-Con was this past weekend, all the stories revolve around the convention. Adam is reminded of a classic 70s song he talked about during an interview, and says that he doesn’t quite get the obsession with comics, even though he has an obsession with cars. ‘Everyone needs a hobby,’ he says, but at least his is tangible. One news story from Comic-Con revolves around a guy who was stabbed in the face with a pen for trying to hold a seat, and another story deals with casting confirmations for the new Avengers movie. Adam also takes time to complain about asshole parking lot attendants and pawn shops.
As Tom Arnold is brought into the studio, Adam thanks all the listeners for their generous pre-orders of his book even though it isn’t released until November. Tom takes a seat and he and Adam joke about how Tom is usually a good bet for the ‘death pool’ since he’s struggled with many personal issues in the past. Tom talks about the time that Roseanne Barr sang the national anthem (exactly 20 years ago), and how he ended up in jail after assaulting a paparazzi in the airport who tried to assault her once they landed.
And speaking of prison, Tom was recently on TMZ speaking about Lindsay Lohan’s jail sentence. He speaks from experience and says that prison is a bad place to detox. Tom also talks about referring various celebrity friends to Dr. Drew, and he tells a few stories about failed attempts to helping people get sober. Adam talks more with Tom about his struggles with addictions, and says that like a lot of people, Tom has a metronome built inside his brain. He asks Tom how he slows it down, and Tom confesses that his strength comes from his relationship with his girlfriend. They also spend some time talking about Tom’s relationship with Roseanne, and how technology has made it possible for people to anonymously say horrible things about people constantly.
Wrapping up the show, Adam takes a few calls for rounds of What Can’t Adam Complain About. Topics vary from saving the animals, to sign language interpreters.

Adam mentioned pawn shops are a ripoff. Mostly, but in 1998′ I bought a used technics 1200sl turntable at a shop in Baltimore for 175$ and beat the shit out of that thing for 10 years till I sold it. New, they cost anywhere from 500$ to 600$, so I’d say I got my money’s worth out of it and a good deal.
RE: the songe Taxi
There is a sequel song where they meet up again, when Harry is a famous singer and she has divorced her husband. Also it was an all male group. The falsetto in the background was a man
Tom Arnold is , strangely, the best fucking guest on radio. He is unbelievably entertaining, go to Greg Fitsimmons podcast and you will hear him interviewed correctly. Carrlooa stepped all over him as usuar and when he refered to him as pretty funny I just laughed. Adam, you are the king of construction workers and plumbers, remember that…
Jesus i can’t stand Tom Arnold’s voice
I go to every one of adams shows im going to demand the signer!
I like this podcast a lot. It was stripped down just like old podcast – without too much of the fucked out drops and – I hate to say this – Theresa now that she is not there. The demented Charlie Rose format is awesome. Wish the show would revert back to more of Adam engaging guests about their lives and funny stories.
Anyone else just see Bill Burr on Letterman ripping off adam? First it was about a red readed roofer in july then about people thinking they’re hero’s for getting a rescue dog… pretty bad.
Love listening to Tom cause he is funny, but he always sounds like he has to do a big snort, and hock a luggie. Like he is permanently congested, you gotta look into that Tom!!!
Very Funny! Good Show!
The show takes a severe hit in quality without Teresa. Was pretty disappointed in the rant about Indian chicks. Even moreso in the misfired dig at black chicks.
Sorry Adam, I have to disagree with your decision to drive the kids without seatbelts. Even though you were on a road that wasn’t busy, you have no idea if some crazy drunk driver or someone texting on their phone could be coming around the corner and hit your car. Even though you have control you can’t judge what others are going to do. The inconvience of seatbelts no way compares with the loss of your kid in freak accident that you could have avoided. All the mommies that listen to you are probably thinking the same thing.
