Coming up first, we have Adam Carolla Show 204 featuring the great Dave Damaschek. For those unfamiliar, Dave Damaschek entered most of our lives through the 2006 Adam Carolla Morning Show that aired throughout select markets on the West Coast after Howard Stern took his contract in Sirius.

Chapter 3: What were the memorable moments from Adam Carolla Show #204?

58.109 - 72.16 Superfan Giovanni

The markets were divided up East Coast, Midwest, and West Coast. Adam Carolla got the West Coast territory on his very first episode. Dave Damaschek was there as a sports guy, co-host, extra voice in the room. A little bit jarring to everybody who wasn't familiar with who he was.

Of course, he'd been working on The Man Show and working with Adam for years, so Adam was very familiar with Dave Damaschek. and had a great rapport with them, and they were very funny together. But for people who didn't know who this guy was at all, I was like, what's his voice? I don't understand what's happening. And then we had Rachel Perry, who was the original news girl.

86.288 - 87.249 Superfan Giovanni

It was all very confusing.

Chapter 4: What complaints does Dave Damaschek have about early arrivals?

87.77 - 103.309 Superfan Giovanni

After all of that, he did the entire year of 2006, which is considered almost most people's favorite year of The Adam Carolla Show. I'm a 2008 guy for personal reasons, but I really liked Dave in 2006. It's a year of radio that can never be matched or recreated. If you haven't heard it, track it down.

After the radio show collapsed, Dave came over and began guesting on the podcast, eventually doing the podcast Dave's of Thunder with his friend Dave Feeney. It's considered one of the all-time greatest podcasts ever made. It's got in-jokes and people have done like 20 re-listens on it. It's got about 50, 60 episodes. I think they came back and did a few more after that.

This is him back in 2009 with Just the Ace Man.

Chapter 5: How does Damaschek feel about parenting challenges?

Hope you guys enjoy.

129.158 - 131.522 Adam Carolla

Dave Damaschek. Good to see you, Sheck.

131.542 - 134.606 Dave Damaschek

Word up, Ace. It's been too long. You're looking well.

0

134.907 - 143.019 Adam Carolla

Thank you. I want to complain about a few things. I know you have things to complain about as well. I do, yes, as always, yeah.

Chapter 6: What humorous anecdotes does Damaschek share about family gatherings?

143.039 - 146.644 Adam Carolla

Had it happened this morning, people showing up early.

0

147.012 - 157.831 Dave Damaschek

Oh, yeah. It's funny you say that because I think my earliest memory of Adam Carolla is you complaining about the garbage truck showing up at an ungodly hour.

0

158.152 - 177.82 Adam Carolla

Well, people think that it's a great form to show up early. They think they're actually more evolved when it's really not the case at all, especially for morning things. There were a bunch of people that were supposed to show up at my house at 9.30 this morning. And the buzzer started ringing at 9.10.

0

178.941 - 202.95 Adam Carolla

And when you tell people to show up at 9.30 in the morning and they show up at 9.10, you're rarely ever sitting there with your nose pressed against the glass, petting a Persian cat and thinking, when will my guests arrive? You're either in the shower or... or you're like cooking breakfast for your kids, wherever you are, you're caught off guard because you had an agreement with this person.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of celebrity culture discussed in the episode?

203.051 - 217.654 Adam Carolla

They would show up at 9.30. And I know people go, stop being a dick. So the person's prompt. They're not prompt. Much better for you that they show up at 9.40 than at 9.15.

0

217.634 - 230.071 Dave Damaschek

Yeah, most people suffer from the other side of that, which is that they can't, you know, if you say 9.30, it's more like quarter after 10. That's one issue. But, yeah, that is an annoyance, especially in the early part of the day.

0

230.231 - 235.178 Adam Carolla

The first part of the day. And as a matter of fact, people do the, well, there was no traffic.

Chapter 8: What insights does Damaschek provide about the late-night television landscape?

235.358 - 238.583 Adam Carolla

Well, my feeling is go get a cup of coffee and come back.

0

238.723 - 241.226 Dave Damaschek

Yeah, I don't need you to see me in my unmentionables.

241.246 - 246.053 Adam Carolla

Right. I still have the wood that I was sporting from the previous evening.

246.794 - 266.096 Adam Carolla

But seriously, like where – this is – my dad would do this. He'd go, let's go to breakfast 7 a.m. because he's an old man and he'd go to bed. As soon as the streetlights came on, he would pass out. Wherever he was, he'd fall over and just start – disease would come out of his mouth. And even if he was driving, streetlights come on, boom, he'd be out.

266.156 - 286.96 Adam Carolla

So he'd say, let's do breakfast at 7 a.m. And then I'd say – No, not at 7 a.m. I'm doing Loveline. I go to bed at 2 a.m. So how about we do it at 9? And then he'd say, how about we do it at 8? And I'd say, no, no, 9 o'clock, breakfast. Come to my house at 9 o'clock. I'll take you out to breakfast. And sure enough, at 8, 41...

288.239 - 310.467 Adam Carolla

the thing would ring and by the way this is one other thing i hate about human beings if you say to somebody let's do it at noon and they go let's do it at 11 and you go no noon and they go fine noon it shall be believe me about 11 40 about 11 40 they're not going to give you noon they'll never give you noon somewhere around 11 40 they're coming over

310.447 - 331.088 Dave Damaschek

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's a good point. Yeah, they'll stick it to you in the end. Yeah. Listen, I've been going through some crazy stuff, you know, because now we have the two little ones at the house. Jean-Claude Van Damaschek has now joined the fold along with older sister. And so we've been getting a lot of in-laws rolling through the house. And, you know, I feel like...

331.068 - 356.033 Dave Damaschek

I don't know if I'm being unreasonable, but in the same weekend, we had, you know, my wife's stepmother came over, and I have, you know, I realize that I'm an adolescent, you know, I'm a nerd kind of a guy, and I have collectible glasses. You know, I'm from Pittsburgh, and I like the Steelers, right? We've talked about that. You're a Giants fan. No, no, no, Pittsburgh Steelers.
