Adam with Justin Long and Robert Schimmel – June 29, 2007
6:01AM – TYPE-CAST ACTORS, LATENESS, AND THRIFT STORE STUFF
Justin Long, the Mac guy from the PC vs Mac commercials and now in Live Free or Die Hard, will be on the show later, and this reminds Adam of a problem he has with commercial actors who become really well known – you see them in a different role and it’s confusing.
Danny’s just a few seconds late this morning, but it’s forgivable because he always comes running in, red-faced and huffing. Adam reminisces about some of the past assistants he’s had – Candace the hot chick who was late and then Ken, who Jimmy and Adam decided to call Ken-dace for the rest of the season.
Adam and Bryan discuss their excitement around the Transformers movie – although Bryan’s anticipation far outweighs Adam’s. Explaining his history with toys like the Transformers, Adam’s family repurposed a lot of stuff from the thrift store and much had acquired a weird, desperate smell. However, caller Tyler was able to one-up Adam: his Mom worked at McDonalds, so all their cups and silverware would come from Mickey D’s.
6:27AM – PATHETIC STORIES OF CHEAP PARENTS
After a quick Crank Yankers call with the amazing Ms. Sarah Silverman, Adam has some more listeners entertain him with stories of their own thrift store experiences as well as other penny-pinching maneuvers.
There’s a couple of callers that were forced to eat thrift shop food – and as Adam points out, “Nobody want to see ‘thrift shop’ in front of the word ‘food’!” Other themes: Teresa bought & returned her prom dress, caller Kyle’s parents have the special edition Pepsi glasses that only come out for special occasions, caller Winter’s parents using empty butter & Cool-whip containers for leftovers, and caller Fred’s family decided that 3.99 was too much to pay for the completing piece of a toy collection.
6:59AM – WHAT CAN’T ADAM COMPLAIN ABOUT?
Before starting one of his favorite games, Adam tells a story about playing football back in his day – and his disappointment about receiving a trophy rather than a windbreaker with his name embroidered across the back. Adam admits, “That’s super pathetic.”
Justin Long jumps on the line, so Adam decides to give him a caller example of how to play the game: give him a topic you don’t think Adam can complain about and watch him prove you wrong. Justin throws a topic to Adam – the paparazzi coverage of celebrity vagina. Adam asks about the casting of him in Live Free and Die Hard as a hacker and his celebrity as the Mac in the Mac commercials. Justin explains – the part required more of an everyman sort of guy. He also played a gay guy in the Breakup – and Adam has to commend him cause he’s seen the movie multiple times but never even realized it was him!
7:27AM – TERESA REPORTS THE NEWS
Teresa reports the news, most of which involves Adam’s confusion around Wikipedia.
7:44AM – ROBERT SCHIMMMEL
Comedian Robert Schimmel is on the show and sits in while Teresa wraps up the news. Danny and Robert have some similar dating experiences in that Danny’s dating a 24-year-old while Robert married one of his daughter’s friends – and both run into some interesting comments and situations from others as a result.
Adam interviews Robert about his history and asks for a little trivia about the ex-wife – about half of his paycheck will go to the woman. Danny’s got a bright side though – if she’s got somebody cohabitating with her, he must leave every 72 hours or Robert doesn’t have to pay…
8:11AM – DIVORCE THROUGH SCHIMMEL’S EYES
Robert shares some stories about his 16-year-old that’s causing him some headaches and his experiences beating cancer, as he was diagnosed with non-Hodkins lymphoma a couple of years ago. He never really told his wife though, he just broke up with her and started dating a younger woman.
As he’s already gone through the divorce thing, he shares some of his insight with Danny – though Robert’s ex seems a little more vindictive than Danny’s. Apparently Robert’s wife has had a boyfriend for the last 7 years, but Robert’s never met him. Actually, when his 8-year-old son got in trouble for a graphic picture, his ex calls him to complain about the kid’s use of ‘weiner’ – but it’s the boyfriend he’s getting it from!
8:32AM – BREAKING DOWN PAULA ABDUL’S NEW SHOW
Playing some clips from Paula’s new show, Adam, Teresa and Danny lampoon the American Idol judge’s new show.
8:46AM – REVIEWING PAULA & ADAM’S MAN CRUSH
Adam goes into a quick rant about fatties wearing fanny packs in public, which reminds Danny of a fancy restaurant that actually employs a ‘sniffer’ – for those who are too excessive with the cologne or perfume.
Teresa continues the review of Paula’s performance on her new show, “Hey Paula.” Danny brings up his new show and reveals that Jonathan Hanson is a part of it – and Adam’s reaction is surprisingly just short of salivating.
9:06AM – TERESA RECAPS THE NEWS
Robert’s still on the show, Adam decides to treat him to a little custom strip-o-gram about his wife.
T then continues her news recap – which is confusing cause it really isn’t a news recap anymore because she never does the same news. More of a news part deux.
9:23AM – NEWS RECAP
Part deux…deux of the news recap.
9:42AM – CRANK YANKERS & WRAP UP
In honor of Crank Yankers airing on MTV2 tonight, Adam pulls a couple of classic calls out of the vault.
Adam then wraps up the show.
9:56AM – WRAP UP
Adam realizes he wrapped up the show 10 minutes early and so wraps up the show a second time.
