CALL ADAM NOW!
866-901-ADAM

6:01AM – ANNOYING STRANGERS

Danny called Frosty and Frank yesterday because he happened to know something about the topic at the time, Joan Jett. They didn’t believe he was as far out in real life as he seemed on the show, but in actuality he’s probably a little more subdued than he is in real life because he has to protect his job. He then proved his point by telling a story about getting his back waxed for the first time by a Vietnamese woman. During a half hour break between waxings, while waiting at the streetlight, some guy recognized him and starts screaming his name and kept trying to get him to go get a drink with him. Danny gave this guy a speech about how he was also a lunatic – did he really want to meet that guy? – and the guy backed off.

Similarly, while Adam was in Phoenix, he got asked by somebody to help him with his boxing stance. While trying to explain using a metaphor, the guy tried to remind him that he wasn’t on stage. Adam just shut down and walked away.

A listener calls in who happens to teach PE, and it brings up the question of the consequences of having girls and guys brought up equally with the ‘everyone’s a winner’ outlook. Adam points out that this approach potentially creates soft guys. Danny has a good point – in order to rally for any confrontation, you need to be both physically and mentally prepared.

6:33AM – TO WAX OR TO NAIR

Adam had to have his teeth whitened because the other people next to him on TV also had it done. Thus is the theme behind getting an attorney, publicist, and waxing – you don’t need it/do it until everybody else is and thus you must too in order to fit in.

Danny shows off his shaved back in the studio. Teresa reveals that she is like one step below a professional esthetician, so Adam mentions that he’s been getting some rogue gray hairs. A caller says that he has to Nair, because he feels better and isn’t as itchy. Board op Bill offers some advice – if you Nair, make sure you moisturize.

Finally a listener prison guard calls in to ask what the hell the show’s up to – is this a segment on gay walking? Adam asks him about getting rid of the gray hairs – the listener recommends dying the whole head of hair.

7:00AM – GAY WALKING

They play a short round of gay walking, featuring gay Board Op Bill asking gay men questions every straight man should know the answer to while Adam, Danny, and Teresa bet whether they’ll know the answer.

1. How many periods in a hockey game? Doesn’t know – 3-0 for everybody.
2. In the song “Folsom Prison Blues,” what does the guy have to leave Reno for? – He doesn’t know again, which puts the boys up at 2-0, while Teresa’s at 1-1.
3. What does the term pole position mean? Doesn’t know again, so Danny’s now in the lead at 3-0.
4. What was Eddie Murphy’s character’s name in Dream Girls? Doesn’t know this either – Danny’s at 4-0.
5. What was Kurt Russell’s nickname in Escape from New York? He gets it – so Danny wins with 5-0.

7:23AM – TERESA STRASSER REPORTS THE NEWS

After a short rant about the people in graphs who ‘don’t know,’ Teresa Strasser reports the news.

The 15 British sailors being held by Iran are reportedly going to be pardoned by the President of Iran and released – after he finished his press conference.

Former child star Brian Bonsall has been accused of assaulting his girlfriend and of course, the 911 call is available on TMZ.com.

Twisted Sister has re-licensed their song “We’re Not Gonna Take it” for drug and symptom promos for PMS disorders.

American Idol’s Blake has 5-1 odds on some of the Internet betting sites to win the show, while Melinda has the best odds – 5-6 overall.

7:44AM – ANGEL ADAM, DEVIL DANNY

Listeners call in with moral questions for the duo. Adam plays the part of the angel giving good advice, while Danny offer’s the devil’s advice.

Questions include: extra money from a bank oversight, quitting a job with a pregnant boss, and quitting a job and telling the boss you’ve been nailing his wife.

8:08AM – DR. GADGET

Dr. Gadget, the world’s number one consumer product promoter, is in the studio to share some of the inventions that will make our lives easier.

He’s brought a piece of furniture that allows people to hide the plasma or LCD within the piece of furniture – according to Danny it looks like at 1920s steamer trunk that with a push of the button, a flat-screen TV pops up. “It is by far the coolest thing in my home,” says Danny.

Another couple of cool inventions – a rearview color camera for the car that’s integrated into your license plate frame and a portable roll-up keyboard for the smart phone.

They decide that they would like to raise some money for a Marine fan with a traumatic brain injury by buying the very cool hidden TV cabinet – as a tax deduction. More details on adamcarolla.com.

8:31AM – AMERICAN IDOL RECAP

Teresa attempts to recaps the results from last night’s American Idol, but Danny and Adam are distracted by contestant Sunjaya’s and mentor Tony Bennett’s crazy hair. Other interesting tidbits, Phil got gayed, Hayley’s only on the show because she’s hot, Paula’s on drugs, Simon no longer cares, and Melinda rocked the house.

Adam decides he wants an upset – a vote for Sunjaya is a vote for the Adam Carolla Show.

8:52AM – OUTBOOK AUGUST – AUGUST ON THE PHONE TO EXPLAIN

Mike August is the show booker and is on the phone to explain the contest. Book a better guest, win $10,000 of Adam’s money if he thinks that you have booked the best guest of April.

So far for April, he’s got Senator John Kerry, Jon Heder, Ray Liotta, Cal Ripkin, – although producer Angie technically was the one who actually locked Jon Heder.

9:03AM – NEWS RECAP – SORT OF

Teresa recaps the news and answers some burning questions: you cannot legally drive a zamboni or horse while drunk.

The stories: a 64 year old NJ man was speeding in a zamboni and blew over the limit, so the cops charged him in a DUI. This week, a judge overturned the DUI, saying that zambonis are not motor vehicles, can’t be on the highway, and can’t carry passengers.

A 40-year-old woman was riding a horse in Alabama, people thought she was swerving so called the cops. After trying to ram the cop car with the horse, she got off and got caught with meth and pot and was very very high. In this case, DUI charges did apply.

Keith Richards supposedly snorted the ashes of his father mixed with a little bit of blow. His spokesman claims that he was just kidding.

Scary Spice had a baby girl yesterday morning – “Girl Brown” – and that the father of the baby is Eddie Murphy, but we won’t know until a blood test.

9:25AM – SENATOR JOHN KERRY ON THE PHONE

The Senator is on the phone to talk about the environment and the Earth, as he has a new book out and will be at Dutton’s in Brentwood tonight.

The big concern is because we’re not moving as rapidly with the developments of new technology as needed to get us off our oil dependency. Adam’s point is with tankless water heaters and such – we need to build it into the price of the house or the car or whatever, as we do with other things as it’s difficult to get the permit for changing. There’s little incentive to change, points out Danny.

The Senator also weighs in on his impressions about the current state of the presidency, which isn’t too positive. Adam has two questions: one – who would he like to see as the next president? And two – does he know that he looks just like the mascot from the New England Patriots? Apparently, he does indeed know he looks like the mascot and has been told that among other things. He hasn’t made a choice for the candidates yet, as he’s weighing his decision against the platform issues, life experience, and so on.

The three major issues for the next president, according to Kerry: 1) restoring America’s image with the world, 2) the American economy, and 3) global warming. Adam has another request – change the name of the game “Marco Polo” to “Adam Carolla.”

9:45AM – ADAM’S ENVIROMENTAL POINT

The point Adam was trying to make to Senator Kerry, but ran out of time, was that if we incorporate the new developments in environmentally friendly technology into the building codes, safety codes, car codes, and so forth, it would save money in the long run and the environment.

9:55AM – ADAM WRAPS UP THE SHOW
