Dial 866-901-ADAM(2326) to call into the Adam Carolla Show!
6:00 LITTLE LEAGUE TEAMS
Adam and Dave discuss how some Little League teams have names that are similar to Major League teams, but they aren’t quite the same. “Why wouldn’t they just name it after an actual team?”, Adam wonders. Is it a copyright infringement thing? That can’t be it, though, because there are some teams that are named after them.
Brusca mentions that he was on the Cosmos as a kid. Adam says that’s okay – Dr. Drew was on the Lord Jeffs.
6:06 ADAM’S LIFE STORY
Adam decides to fill in the listeners on his life growing up poor in North Hollywood.
6:12 JILLIAN BARBERIE
Jillian calls in – Adam decides to put his story on hold and take the call. He says that he thought Skating with Celebrities was going to wrap last night, but apparently they are spreading it across two days.
Rachel asks if Jillian was worried that she was going to fall out of her skimpy skating outfit. She says no, they’d rehearsed and nothing had fallen out, so she figured she’d be okay.
Adam says that he’s done a few of these celebrity competitions, and even though you’re playing for charity, or playing for pride, there’s always one a-hole that has to be super-competitive and ruin it for everybody. Everybody else is trying to enjoy themselves, Adam says, but there’s always one guy who has to take it way too far.
Thursday night is the last night for Skating with Celebrities – 9pm EST/PST on FOX.
6:32 HOME IMPROVEMENT QUESTIONS
Jeanette calls in with a home improvement question. Her house was built in 1942, and she wants to modernize it. She wants to put in a stamped copper ceiling, but she thinks the cabinet color will have to change. She wants to know a color that will complement the copper.
Adam suggests painting the copper ceiling – the copper look isn’t so good.
Andy has dimples in the wall, from nails. Adam wants to know if the nails are pushing out, or sucking in. Andy says they aren’t protruding – Adam says to whack them with a waffle-ended hammer, so the joint compound will stick, then put the joint compound on and sponge it.
6:36 NEWS
There is unrest in the Middle East. Rachel says that it’ll be over after the Oscars.
Anna Nicole Smith is headed to the Supreme Court to try to get her inheritance from her late husband who passed away. The son is trying to stop it.
Dennis Weaver, known for his role as Sam McCloud on the TV series “McCloud”, has passed away.
A new CBS News poll puts Bush’s approval rating at 34% and Cheney’s approval rating at 18%. Adam points out that you need to flip that and make it a Disapproval rating.
Nine former “Claymates” have lodged a formal complain to the FTC because the record company, and Clay Aiken, engaged in collusion to prevent disclosures that would have harmed their business. Basically, they believe that the record company knew Clay Aiken was gay, but withheld it.
The finale of “The Bachelor” was on last night.
6:45 SPORTS
Clippers beat the Bobcats.
Golden State lost at home to Utah.
Sacramento beat Portland.
NHL returns from Torino ready to skate.
6:55 ANTHONY DAVIS IN STUDIO
Anthony Davis, former tailback from USC, is in the studio. Adam mentions that he was an East Valley Trojan when he was a kid, and they shared the same jersey.
Anthony tells a story of the time he returned a kickoff to close a score gap. He thought the coach was crazy when he said they were going to try that, but he managed to pull it off.
He came second place in the Heisman running the year he was up for it.
Adam asks how much he weighs – he says he doesn’t look anything like it, but he weighs 285. He’s getting a gastric bypass procedure that will be filmed and broadcast online.
Anthony played NFL ball for two years, and had a lot of injuries. He blew out his tibia, which basically ended his football career. He made enough money around that time to retire, he says.
They talk about the weight problems football players can develop. Adam says linemen will just shovel as much food as they can, because they are running all day every day. Once they stop playing, the eating habits don’t change. Anthony says that’s true.
7:30 KYLE GASS IN THE STUDIO
Kyle Gass of Tenacious D is in the studio. He wants to get in on the gastric bypass, he says. His play, Rock Of Ages, just entered an extended run. Adam thinks that when a play comes out, they should immediately call it the “Extended Run”, just for marketing purposes.
Kyle picks his “worst song” – Crash by Dave Matthews Band.
Tenacious D got started because, basically, Kyle and Jack Black didn’t want to go through the whole audition process, they just wanted to do their own thing. They decided to pretend to be a hit rock band.
Adam goes on a rant about off-brands. Back in the day, you could spot wealthier people because of what they wore. Now, everybody seems to shop at the same places and wear the same Old Navy clothes, he says.
Rock of Ages has been extended three weeks, and the Tenacious D movie comes out later this year. Visit RockOfAges.com for tickets to the show.
7:53 ANGER OVER THE SMACK TALK
A caller, Adam, comes on the line, angry that Adam and Kyle were talking smack about Dave Matthews. He says Dave Matthews is a great acoustic guitar player, and deserves some credit. Kyle says, so is he.
7:56 ROCKING AND NODDING
Kyle’s favorite song pick is by The Who.
If they were in a band together, Adam says, he would have to be playing bass, and Kyle would be playing guitar. Then they could cross each other on stage, and one would whisper something to the other, and then they could both shake their heads. What got said? Nobody will ever know!
8:06 FRANK VINCENT ON THE PHONE
Frank Vincent from the Sopranos is on the line. He mentions that someone sent out a press release recently declaring that Goodfellas is the greatest movie of all time. Adam says it’d be hard to argue that any movie is better than Goodfellas.
He was once asked by Martin Scorsese’s mother, “When you were in that trunk, how could you breathe?” Adam says she must be a method actor.
The sixth season of The Sopranos comes back soon. It’s been about a year and a half since new episodes aired – and that actual amount of time has passed in the series when the new episodes begin.
Back before he was in a major acting career, he was in a musical trio with Joe Pesci. Joe was on guitar, and Frank was on drums.
Frank also has a new book, due out the 7th of March, “A Guy’s Guy to Being a Man.” Frank feels like men owe women a little more respect, and they need to get back to tradition a little bit more.
8:26 HOWIE MANDEL IN THE STUDIO
Howie Mandel, host of Deal Or No Deal, is in the studio. He says the beauty of the show is that a total moron can change his or her life. Rachel adds that nobody is better or worse at it.
Dave has an idea to better the show. Howie says that’s what he’s here for. The ladies play too many “games” when they open the case, Dave thinks.
When Howie had his son circumcised, as is tradition, he buried the “remains” in the back yard in the piece of gauze they were given to him in. An hour or so later, their dog dug it up and brought it back inside. He wasn’t sure what the tradition was after that.
Howie mentions that every time he brings up a topic, there’s new theme music for it. He loves this show.
The show broke records last night – it was #1 in its’ timeslot. Adam wants to know how they can find people who will actually roll the dice on the show instead of just taking the money. Howie thinks it’s amazing that they can have someone who doesn’t own a home, doesn’t have a whole lot of money, that have half a million dollars on the line, and they’ll still try to go for the million.
Adam brings up Howie’s obsessive compulsive disorder. He says that yes, he does have OCD. It had been kept quiet for a while, but now he’s out with it. He does a “fist” handshake, because he can’t bring himself to do real handshakes.
See Howie tonight on Jimmy Kimmel Live, and see Deal Or No Deal, tonight on NBC.
9:06 MAVERICK IN THE STUDIO
Maverick, a.k.a. Deaf Frat Guy, is in the studio – he’s a 5th year senior over at USC. He’s looking for a job. He wants to come on board at the station. Last week, he did weather. This week, he’s doing the astrology report.
9:22 MARK THE POET
Mark The Poet comes on to read a poem to Rachel.
9:32 MAVERICK’S ASTROLOGY REPORT
Maverick is going to take a shot at giving us the Astrology report. He says his friend Moose was down at Mardi Gras, and saw a bunch of girls flashing him, but then in the background he’d see a fridge in a tree and get bummed.
9:48 ASSKISS RODEO
Sal comes on the line to ask if Maverick will play Asskiss Rodeo. Adam thinks that’s a great idea. Maverick gets burned when Adam says they should switch USC to a dry campus.
