Adam with Joel McHale, Terrance Winter and Christian the Comedic Youth – May 25, 2007
6:02AM – BIRTHDAY BANTER
Adam’s birthday is on Sunday, but he doesn’t really want to talk about it so much. “If you keep to yourself, do your work, and knock it out of the park, so be it,” explains Adam. When you’re working at a big place, there’s a birthday every day celebrated with adults and some sheet cake. Danny agrees, except that the workplace is now also the playplace – but it’s a slippery slope with socializing, as people take these things very personally.
There’s also some talk of the new kind of guys – the ones that do the cooking, cleaning, and kid care as well – as opposed to the man’s man of yesteryear. Teresa made some cookies and brought them in for Adam, but as Adam points out, men don’t cook for other men (straight men at least).
The point here is: guys buy guys a bottle of scotch and punch them in the arm for a birthday while women would cook you a gourmet dinner.
6:27AM – NAUGHTY NEIGHBORS
Adam takes some calls for stories about naughty neighbors – or at least those that are a little weird. Many of the stories include pornography, sex, or masturbation in some way, shape, or form…
6:51AM – NAUGHTY NEIGHBORS CONTINUED
They continue the calls about naughty neighbors, with a caller whose neighbor shot somebody dead, a guy who got caught masturbating in his pool, and a caller who was violating a goat in a way he shouldn’t have been – in the middle of Phoenix! Another guy caught lesbian neighbors going at it on the patio when he was 12.
7:13AM – TERESA REPORTS THE NEWS
Teresa reports her news and Adam rants about the uselessness of PSAs.
7:39AM – JOEL MCHALE
From E!’s The Soup, Joel is in the studio to share some of the most entertaining drops from the world of entertainment news.
7:59AM – MORE MCHALE AND TERESA’S CURSE
After a quick Crank Yankers call, Adam invites listeners to register for tickets to see his movie, The Hammer – and Joel relives his frustration and minor jealously of Ryan Seacrest. Adam wonders – is there a ratings spike on E! when Ryan’s on? Joel doesn’t know, but shares some of the trends of the other shows on the network – and reveals that in the international version, nothing is blurred out.
Anyways, back to Teresa’s dating curse: she’s had a string of 4 guys who were unable to perform. One of the guys went to a therapist and was instantly cured.
Joel moves on and continues to share some of the juicy entertainment clips, like the accidentally recorded audio when the celebrities forget they’re still mic’d.
8:27AM – TERENCE WINTER
The head writer from the Sopranos is on the phone, and having written the AJ suicide episode as well as the final one, Adam’s got some questions for this guy. Apparently, upon reading the final script had some people crying.
Terence’s written 24 episodes, but explains that you can’t really make major character choices like killing off a character without passing by the appropriate parties. In another episode however, Terence got a scene in based upon a strange real-life experience with a homeless woman. Bottom line however: the writers are some of the people who are truly the most inhibited.
8:43AM – CRANK YANKERS
Another Crank Yankers call about Mr. T in honor of Terence Winter’s history as Mr. T’s former assistant. Some of the stuff Terence wrote makes Danny wonder if there’s something wrong with him. Nothing wrong, you just tap into a darker part of yourself.
Adam and Terence discuss the difficulties of writing for entertainment, especially networks that aren’t as open as HBO. Adam tries to get some clues from Terence about what’s in the works for the final episode of the Sopranos, but Terence isn’t giving anything up.
9:05AM – GAY WALKING
Gay board-op Bill hit the streets and asked questions of the gays that straight guys should know – while Adam, Danny, and T bet on their knowledge.
The game ends up in a tie between Teresa and Adam, so they have the gay pick a coin flip – and Teresa wins the $100 bucks.
9:27AM – TERESA RECAPS THE NEWS
Teresa recaps the news, with Donald Trump finally weighing in on the Rosie/Elizabeth Hasselback situation.
9:40AM – CHRISTIAN THE COMEDIC YOUTH SENSATION
Not even out of high school, 14-year-old comedian Christian is in the studio – and everybody seems to be planning how to get his MILF mom into bed.
He’s planning on doing a 10-minute set at the Hollywood Improv tonight and has done a couple of gigs in Fresno – but of course launched his comedy career on the Adam Carolla Show. Teresa wants to know if he has any new material, so he does a couple of quick jokes about the clergy, the cocaine drink, and the braces. Adam’s a little upset that Christian’s mom brought him down here from Fresno when his parents wouldn’t even take him to Van Nuys.
9:55AM – ADAM WRAPS THE SHOW
