ADAM WITH CLAUDIA JORDAN, JESS ZAINO, KEVIN NEALON AND ROBERT SMIGEL — 5am to 10am, April 28, 2006
Dial 866-901-ADAM(2326) to call into the Adam Carolla Show!
6:00 BREAKFAST
Adam came downstairs this morning, and his wife was cooking him breakfast. It was bizarre, he says. He’s never sure how to react in situations like this. It’s like a baseball glove that hasn’t been broken in — it can’t receive the pitch. Claudia points out that it must’ve been a great breakfast, though, because Adam’s not complaining about it. Adam says that this event has left him unable to complain for 18 hours.
6:05 BRUSCA’S BODACIOUS BREAKFAST
Dave asks if Adam’s breakfast is the source of the delicious eggy, cheesy smell in the booth. No, Adam says, that’s Brusca’s little breakfast sandwich. His wife feeds him a great breakfast, and then packs him a little back-up breakfast, too. He’s not in the room, Dave says — pass that over.
6:08 ADAM’S SLEEP CHANNEL
A listener, Clay, calls in. He’s going to be flying US Air from San Diego to Connecticut on May 1st, and he’d really love to just be able to get some sleep on that flight. Great, Adam says. He can listen to the new sleep music channel. Ninety minutes of uninterrupted sleep.
Clay is going to check back in after his flight and let us know how it was.
6:32 A RE-ENACTMENT
Claudia reads a little news early. Apparently, an 18 year old was so dissatisfied with the size of his penis, that he decided to take his own life. Dave feels he and Adam should do a re-enactment of the phone call notifying the parents.
6:43 A HORRIBLE TAKE
Adam’s realized that these commercials with people like Donald Trump come on, and they seem terrible, it’s probably because they were in such a hurry. If it were Adam or Dave doing one, the director would say, “Let’s do that again.” But when you’re Trump, and you’ve got no time, and there’s a helicopter waiting for you out on the road, they’ll just have to take whatever they can do.
They come up with a few other “The More You Know” ads that Donald Trump might read.
6:57 CLAUDIA JORDAN AND JESS ZAINO IN THE STUDIO
Claudia Jordan, best known as a model from Deal Or No Deal, is on the program. She’s “briefcase number one” from the show. She also has a show on the Style Network, “Modern Girl’s Guide to Life”. Jess Zaino is also on the program, from the same show. Their show is basically about showing girls how to do stuff they need to know, like what kind of dildo to buy, or how to defend yourself from an attacker.
As far as the whole “defend yourself” thing, Adam feels like it’s such an encased environment, over there at the Burbank YMCA. Next time, do the training, but tell them there’s no blanks in this gun. If this guy gets a hold of you, he’s really going to rape you. Now see how well they do.
7:07 DAVID WEINSTEIN IN THE STUDIO
David Weinstein, a writer, is in the studio. He’s an old friend of Brusca’s, and he’s dating Jess Zaino. Brusca gives a list of the top seven reasons why she should not be dating David Weinstein.
7:22 KEVIN NEALON IN THE STUDIO
Kevin Nealon, best known from Saturday Night Live, is in the studio. His show “Weeds” on Showtime starts its’ second season this August. He’ll also be at the Hermosa Comedy and Magic Club in May.
7:25 NEWS
Claudia reads the morning news.
7:37 MORE WITH KEVIN NEALON
Adam mentions that Nealon pops over to Kimmel’s Sunday football games once in awhile. From what he hears, it’s turning into quite the event, Kevin says. You know what it’s like, Adam asks? It’s like if you were a big REM fan back in the day, when they didn’t have many fans, and now they are so huge, and you’ve got crappy tickets to the concert. Kevin asks why Adam doesn’t just throw a little VIP bash at his own house? Well, Kimmel whines, says Adam.
Plus, Adam hates people. Kevin says he never would have known.
7:48 JOE GANNASCOLI ON THE PHONE
Joe Gannascoli, who plays “Gay Vito”, is on the phone. Adam asks if the whole “gay” storyline was a surprise for him when he read it in the script. Joe points out — it’s well documented that it was his idea. He had been reading a book at home about a gay mobster, and he thought it would be a good idea for The Sopranos. Initially the writers had said no, but eventually they asked him to bring in that book again, and they liked it.
Joe’s got a new book out, a cookbook novel called “A Meal To Die For”. It tells the story of a man who loses $60,000 gambling, and decides to go out to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. He ends up getting recruited by the mob to be a cook. Dave asks if that ever actually happened. Unfortunately, no, he never cooked for the mob.

8:05 ROBERT SMIGEL ON THE PHONE
Robert Smigel, a writer and heavy contributor to Saturday Night Live, is on the phone. His creations for SNL include “Triumph the Dog”. “The Ambiguously Gay Duo”, and “Fun with Real Audio”. Adam says that whenever people would complain over at The Man Show about a bit not being usable on TV, he would point to Robert Smigel’s works and point out how much blatantly worse they are. Robert says that basic cable has the cheap lawyers. General Electric has much better attorneys.
This Saturday, Saturday Night Live will be an all-Smigel edition, showing the best of all of his cartoons. On top of that, the show is actually hosted by the Ambiguously Gay Duo.
8:22 NO TV
Oswaldo’s wife is cleaning Adam’s house right now, he says. Not kidding. And what’s weird is, when she’s done cleaning, she’ll just sit at the table and wait for Ozzie to come pick her up. She just sits. He tells her, go watch TV! Go listen to the radio! Do anything else. But she won’t do it. Kevin says that his gardener won’t even walk through the house to get to the backyard. He always says, just walk through the house. But his gardener just goes around.
8:25 AMERICAN IDOL
Dave tells the story of when he saw Kevin Nealon giving a standing ovation on American Idol. Kevin says he just absolutely loves that show, and he goes out to watch it. Adam gets on to him for going without the excuse of taking his kids, because he doesn’t have any. Kevin says it’s no problem; he loves that show and he’s not ashamed of it. To Adam, that is about the same as saying “I love ten year old kids, and I’m not ashamed of it.”
8:36 CELEBRITY ASSKISS RODEO
It’s time for Kevin Nealon to play a bit of Asskiss Rodeo.
8:45 RICH MAN, POOR MAN
Adam and Kevin talk about a few things that both fabulously rich people and ridiculously poor people do. For example: having upholstered furniture outside. Or showering outside. Having tons of cars.
8:58 DOES DAVE REALLY SOUND LIKE THAT?
A listener calls in. Does Dave actually talk like that all the time? It’s like a cross between Adam Carolla and Howard Cosell. Dave says he’s flattered. Adam says what can you do? He may sound similar, but he’s good at what he does.
9:00 DICK VITALE ON THE PHONE
Dicky V calls in to talk to Adam and Dave, even though college basketball season is over. Today, he’s talking movies.
9:25 JOHN MADDEN ON THE PHONE
John Madden calls in during the sports recap to talk a little NFL draft news. Adam points out that last time Madden was on, he was upset that Brett Favre was considering retirement. Dave things that this is a big argument for cloning: if we can clone Brett Favre, every NFL team can have one of them. John honestly believes that if you change your name to Brett Favre, you will be a better quarterback. Let’s take it one step further, Adam says. Why call it AIDS? Why not call it Brett Favre? I got killed by Brett Favre. What an honor.
That brings us to the next question: Who is more popular, Adam asks, Jesus or Brett Favre? John sighs. That’s a tough question. Jesus died for our sins, but Brett Favre played another year for us.
9:36 RICHARD MARTIN THE REPUBLICAN
Richard Martin, Republican representative, is in the studio. He says he was listening to the program earlier and really loved the “Rich Man or Poor Man” segment. He’s got one to add: if you’re poor, you have a bunch of cruddy pool cues, but if you’re rich, you have one fantastic one. Adam says he’s not so sure about that. Richard has another: if you’re rich, you’re tied to big oil, and if you’re poor, you’re big and oily. Adam says he appreciates the effort.
This whole debate on oil is pointless, Richard says. The last time he checked, his car didn’t run on poor people, he says. Things run on oil and the exploited labors of the lower class. And of course, the debate on Darfur. Richard says their government has stated they don’t want our help. Dave asks, aren’t they the same government that are killing their own people? Richard says to get with it. It’s rude to just go into a foreign country.
9:55 THE 80 YEAR OLD CAROLLA FAN
A female listener, Ellen, comes on the line. She’s such a huge Carolla fan; she just loves his show, and she loves dirty jokes and just everything like that. Adam says hang on the line, we need an old fan, and he knows she’s gold.
