ADAM WITH CHRIS DAUGHTRY AND FRANK VINCENT — 5am to 10am PST, May 15, 2006
Dial 866-901-ADAM(2326) to call into the Adam Carolla Show!
6:00 BOUNDLESS ENERGY
Adam mentions Ozzie is coming in for a movie review today, and the topic of Mission Impossible 3 comes up. This was a good movie, Adam thinks, but people are giving it a negative spin, because they can’t stand Tom Cruise. People just can’t fathom a guy like Tom who’s so goddamned happy just to get out of bed in the morning. There’s a part of us that’s just not comfortable with that.
6:02 GOOD FLICKS
Somehow, MI:3 opened to $48 million, and people said it was a failure. This weekend, Poseidon opened to like $20 million. Are people just not interested in these movies? Dave says he didn’t see Poseidon just out of disinterest. He figured it would just be a rehash of the original.
Adam feels like MI:3 was overall just a terrific movie. He asks Teresa if she’s seen any of these movies. She saw “Thank You For Smoking” over the weekend at the Arclight, and she sees why the cinema attendance is down — she paid $28 for two people. Well, Adam saw his at the Egyptian in the VIP section for $20 a piece. What’s the VIP section, Dave asks? He’s not allowed to discuss it. He wouldn’t want the little people to get angry and storm his castle.
6:08 SUPER CRAZY PREGNANT
Teresa wants to know how the babies are doing. She’s super crazy pregnant, Adam says, and it should be any day now. She’s snoring so loudly, he had to ask her to roll over and face the other way. And of course, for Mother’s Day, he got her a pack of Breathe-Right strips, as well as some cabinets for the nursery.
6:12 POPULAR NAMES
Since the birth of Adam’s kids is imminent, Teresa gets on the ‘Net and looks up some of the popular baby names of recent years.
6:18 MARK THE POET
Mark the Poet calls in with a limerick for Teresa. He wrote it for her “while she was out.” The crew applauds it; good work! Teresa thanks him. Brusca is a kill joy, though — “It’s good, because it was so short.”
Teresa feels like he’s the greatest poet of our time, after that.
6:28 THE QUEST FOR A PROM DATE
Billy Moses, the 17-year-old Webmaster, is in studio. And he’s single, ladies. He’s still looking for a prom date, and he’s got several girls in the studio to audition. Nicolle is here — she was one of the myriad of women who responded to the call for a prom date. Also in the studio, we have Melinda, 17-year-old cousin of Mike the Intern. And finally, we have Shannon, also known as Chewbacca from Friday morning who decorates cakes for a living.
Nicolle just pulled a job at Baskin-Robbins, and she lives with her sister, who is also her guardian. Her mom is in no position to raise her right now, and her dad passed away in 1998.
Shannon is a full-figured woman, Dave says. Adam says yes, all three girls are beautiful in their own way, so it depends on what Billy is looking for.
Dave decides that they need to do something like Elimidate — Billy needs to spend time with all three of them during the course of the show, and eliminate one of them, then bring the two remaining girls back into the booth later on and figure out which one he’s going to take to the prom.
6:41 A CRAZY GUY
Adam says there’s a call up on the screen from “a crazy guy.” He takes it.
6:53 SOME FREE ADVICE
Heavyweight Champion James “Lights Out” Toney dispenses some free advice to a new step-mother.
6:55 THE WINDOW
Last week, on Thursday, Adam had to have some phone lines installed for a business he’s running out of his warehouse. And it had been long enough since he dealt with the phone company, that he had forgotten about “the window.” Yes, the window. We’ll be there between 8am and 4pm. First off, Adam points out, that’s not a window. That’s a sliding glass door. It’s a gaping metor-strike hole. A three-car garage door. Your first thought is, “you must’ve made that appointment yesterday.” But, oh no. It was two weeks ago. And that’s because there is zero competition. Find a place where there is a ton of competition, like a termite exterminator. No windows.
And that, Adam feels, is why communism has never worked, and never will. You need that competition to inspire people to actually do their damn job in a timely manner.
A listener calls in who installs air conditioners, and he has the same issue with inspectors. Yes, Adam confirms — building inspectors are exactly the same way. It’s any government agency or utility that has a monopoly in their field. And communism is like having one huge cable company, or one huge phone company. They don’t have to work hard. Competition breeds success.
Incidentally, Dave is curious what kind of business Adam is running out of a warehouse. Is he dealing arms? No. White slavery.
Another listener comes on — he tricks the utilites. Every once in a while, he calls the phone or cable company and asks them to come out, then he makes sure he isn’t home when they arrive. That’s the reason we have the window, someone chimes in.
7:18 NEWS

7:47 OSWALDO’S MOVIE REVIEW
Ozzie is in the studio to review Poseidon.
8:01 BILLY’S PROM DATE
Billy, the show’s webmaster, is going to pick a prom date out of Melinda, Shannon and Nicolle. Shannon is a 19 year old cake decorator.Shannon has a hobopower story, dealing with her mother dying in February. After her mother died, the body wasn’t discovered for a week. The apartment was covered in excrement and vomit.
Dave wants to know how many of these women have the Billies. They all think Billy is cute and sweet. Adam mentions that you want a woman to call you hot, but low in the personality department.
Billy tells Adam that Shannon has four sisters and has gone through some problems. She like to party and hang out with friends. But the story she told him in the hall freaked him out a bit, and she’s not single. Shannon has a boyfriend. Adam tells Shannon that Billy doesn’t need an angry pimp confronting him in the parking structure. With that, Billy tells Shannon goodbye.
8:23 DRUNK TREE KARAOKE
Erin, the Drunk Tree Mascot, is on the program. For those who are new to the show, she was originally the Tree mascot for Stanford University, but she was let go when she was found drunk inside her suit.
She’s got a song about “Brisket”, a.k.a. Brusca.
8:38 LOVE FOR BILLY
The Drunk Tree Mascot wants to toss her pom-poms in the ring and try out for Billy’s prom date. She does a cheer for him — but it has to be dumped out, because it’s too profane. “Get out of here,” Adam demands.
8:42 THE ED’S DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES REVIEW
The Ed has a review of Desperate Housewives.
Last night, Gabriella and her husband got in a fight, because the husband was treating the pregnant maid better than her. She got mad about that. And someone else has a daughter that could be her son dressed up. Lois had her house burn down and her husband’s girlfriend did it, and she said “Ha Ha I burnt down your house, what are ya gonna do about it?” Then the girl got stung by a bunch of bumble bees, so something did happen to her. Ed thinks the ratings are down, and next week they’re doing a two hour show, and it’s the last one.
8:55 CHRIS DAUGHTRY ON THE PHONE
Chris is the latest reject from American Idol, and there’s been an overwhelming outpouring of support from his fan base ever since. Many are saying that he had the “best pipes”, including Adam. Chris’ best approximation, according to what he’s heard, is that many people thought he was a “sure thing” and just didn’t vote for him that night.
He’s still contractually obligated to go out on the American Idol tour, with the rest of the top ten. It’s headlined by the order they were eliminated, Adam assumes, and Chris confirms that is how it works. Chris has also been offered the gig as the lead singer of Fuel, but he’s taking time to consider every offer. He’s got a band back home too, he says, and he might want to work with them. Adam says they’re probably pissed, and are currently holding their own miniature American Idol to find a new Chris.
Of course, Adam points out that the ultimate goal of American Idol is exposure, not winning. Regardless of winning, if you’re good, you will get a deal out of this. Chris just recently figured that out. Going into it, he says, you’re totally focused on winning. But once you’re eliminated, and the media blitz continues, you have an epiphany — you’ve accomplished your goal, even without being number one.
A lot of this comes down to not just who is the best, but who you think could use it the most, Adam feels. A lot of these people are set already. Katherine McPhee is already set for life. All of them are, really, Chris says.
If you could pick a winner, who would it be, Adam wonders? Chris says you don’t want to know.
9:13 BILLY’S PICK
Billy is back in the studio with his two finalists, and it’s time to pick one: Melinda or Nicolle. Billy had a very interesting conversation with both of them, he says. “Put the notes away,” Dave says. You’ve got to speak from the heart.
He goes through a little back story for both of them.
It’s time to make the big decision… but first, Billy has to ask — how many guys have you been with? Two. That’s fine, Dave says. It’s like playing with a catcher’s mitt that’s already been broken in.
Both of these girls are really nice, but ultimately, he’s going to have to say Nicolle. She accepts. Dave tells Billy to stop rubbing his hands together manically.
