ADAM WITH CHRISTIAN THE 13-YEAR-OLD COMEDIAN, ROBERT SCHIMMEL AND TOAD THE WET SPROCKET — 5am to 10am PST, May 31, 2006
Dial 866-901-ADAM(2326) to call into The Adam Carolla Show!
6:00 WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY?
Adam’s been doing a little pontificating on what can make a man happy. A lot of people will sit around and say, my life sucks, because I live with my girlfriend, or my roommate, or my hand, in this crappy apartment. Or maybe, they’ve got a crappy car, or a beat-up truck. They use these things that they don’t have as an excuse for not being happy. When you’re poor, you just automatically assume that you’re unhappy because you’re not rich.
But, if you actually make this money, you’ll see that you pretty much feel the same. Sure, you get rid of the impending doom stuff, and you’re able to buy this or that, or miss some work, or go to Europe, but you’re still unhappy. There’s still a level above you. There’s always a level above you. You’re flying coach — other people are flying first class. You fly first class — other people fly charter planes.
The one element that screws up everyone’s life is envy.
Take the celebrity shows, like “Extra”, or “The Insider”. They are one contributor to this ruiner of society. The rich, famous people you see up there are just as miserable as you, they’re just doing it more lavishly. But you can see the envy in people’s eyes when they watch. Adam can see it in his wife’s eyes every night. Any time you think you’re doing good, you pop on that TV, and see something like Patrick Dempsey climbing out of a pace car and proclaiming “WHAT A RUSH!” And you think, god damnit, I should be driving that pace car.
A lot of times, you’ll think the key to feeling better is to just turn on the news. You see the war in Iraq, or the crisis in Darfur, or all of the poverty in the world — just horrid situations all over the world. But that doesn’t really work, either. That just makes you depressed.
This has all made Adam realize that we need a TV network designed to just make you feel better. No bad news. Just things that give you a booster. He stumbled onto this while watching Last Comic Standing. All of those open casting calls, and all of those hopeful comics at those comedy clubs, standing in line all day and all night, just vying for a chance to compete. It made Adam feel good about his existence — he’s got a house, and cars, and a great job, and a wife with kids on the way. Seeing something on TV like that, and having it make you feel good about your own life, is a great feeling.
6:29 EUGENE FROM SPAIN
Eugene, their listener from Spain, calls in to the show. He’s got two names for Adam’s kids — Sandro Carolla, and Julia Carolla. Adam likes those names. He’s also got a question for Teresa. How does she really feel about them naming her vagina? She’s okay with it; she’s honored, actually.
6:34 CHRISTIAN THE 13-YEAR-OLD COMEDIAN
Christian the 13-year-old comedian comes on the line to do a little of his new material for the crew.
6:38 BRITTANY EVANS IN THE STUDIO
Brittany Evans, the St. Pauli spokesmodel, is on the program. Dave immediately spots and expresses displeasure over the engagement ring on her finger. “That’s good,” Brittany quips, “because it’s not an engagement ring. It’s a wedding ring.” Ouch.
She was also one of the Playboy Cyber Girls of the Day on 971freefm.com.
Since she’s the St. Pauli girl, they’re going to do a little taste test. They’ve got four beers lined up, and we’ll see if she can pick out which beer is which.
She picks number two as St. Pauli, and cringes when she drinks number four — she just doesn’t like that one. They go through the list. Number four was St. Pauli! “No! No no no!”
Now that they’ve gotten her fired, it’s time to say goodbye.
7:05 NEWS
Teresa addresses the morning news.
7:16 SPORTS
Dave lazily winds his way through the sports report, having not received a note from Brusca to “make it quick.”
7:30 NAME TERESA’S VAGINA
It’s time to name Teresa’s vagina! The theme today is “band names.” Before they take any calls, Adam’s got to run through a few of his. For example… Cake. “That’s sweet,” Teresa says. Not so fast, Adam replies. Phish. Hmm, she misses Cake already.
Big Tad has a couple — Dire Straits, and Taco. Also, Savage Garden and Psychadelic Furs.
A listener calls in. He loves Teresa, but… Cheap Trick.
They take a few more calls from people with suggestions.
7:48 ROBERT SCHIMMEL IN THE STUDIO
Comedian Robert Schimmel is on the program. He gets onto the topic of cutting the “cord” in child birth — he didn’t do it the first couple kids he had, but he did on the last one. It’s a very bizarre experience, he thinks; it just doesn’t seem or feel right. Half way through cutting it, he stopped and proclaimed that he couldn’t finish this. They urged him, “don’t stop,” because supposedly the kid doesn’t know anything.
Robert’s daughter Jessica comes on the line. Robert told them to give her a ring because she’ll pretty much say anything to anyone at any time. Basically, Jessica resents her father because he got married to one of her good friends.
She shares a few stories of their interesting family history with Adam and Co.
8:30 DISGRUNTLED KATHY
A listener, Kathy, calls in. She feels it’s very inappropriate for them to be naming Teresa’s Vagina — children listen to this show. She herself has three children who listen, and it’s just not something she wants them to hear. She also works for Child Protection Services, and she’s seen kids removed from their parents for the parents talking in a manner like that. Adam wonders if maybe they weren’t just using words in those cases… “Oh, Daddy’s gonna molest ya! Daddy’s gonna touch ya!”
8:35 THE JERK REPORT WITH DAVE DAMESHEK
This was a tumultuous week on The Adam Carolla Show. He’ll get to that in a minute, though. Everybody remember, though, that Dave is much like a benevalent Sauron — his eye sees all jerks.
The first nominee — the show’s very own movie reviewer, Oswaldo Castillo, for ruining X-Men 3!
And the Get Out of Jerk Free Card for the week goes to actor Paul Gleason, for always playing a villian or a bad guy in every movie. He’s managed to entertain us for years, all the while never playing a single lovable character. Here’s a Get Out of Jerk Card for you, Mr. Gleason — you’re going to need it. Incidentally, Teresa wonders if God has a Jerk Report. Sure he does, Adam confirms. He calls it Hell.
The runner-up for Creep of the Week… Dave Dameshek! For reasons that have already been discussed, he has landed himself on The Jerk Report. As many remember, he carries the coveted Get Out of Jerk Free Card from last week. But, and he’ll have to check the by-laws on this, he’s pretty sure he can use it to bump himself down from Creep of the Week, to runner-up. He asks Bryan to please, turn the laser on him, and for the love of God, spare his face.
And now, the Creep of the Week. This Andrew Morbitzer character who went out for beer and barbecue sandwiches during the game, when Bonds was at bat and had the potential to hit his record-breaking home run, and then being REWARDED by having the home run ball land straight in his concession tray.
8:51 TOAD THE WET SPROCKET IN THE STUDIO
Toad the Wet Sprocket is on the program to do a little acoustic performance for the crew.
9:07 TERESA’S NEWS RECAP
Teresa recaps the morning news.
9:20 SPORTS RECAP
Dave recaps the sports.
9:39 HEAD FIRST BABIES
During the news, Adam wondered why babies have to be born head first, rather than feet first. Some listeners call in to educate him as to why it has to be that way.
9:42 MORE VAGINA NAMES
Dave goes over the last minute influx of vagina names that came in from the Adam Carolla Message Board.
9:51 HOW TO GET THE GUY
Teresa’s going to be interviewed this evening on Entertainment Tonight, for her new show “How To Get The Guy”. A big new network show, Adam points out. Look, he tells her. Sprout wings and fly, but, just one wing. Just fly in circles right above the ground. We don’t want you to leave the nest. “I’ll never leave,” she tells Adam.
