What the hell goes on over here? All right, it sounds like hell to me. Good to see you, Allison Rosen.
Hello, Adam Carolla.
Good to see you, Paul Bryan. That's right. Yeah, we'll get Jacob Dillon in here soon enough and David Wild as well. All right. Things to talk about. Still leftover things to talk about. We'll play a little. Sometimes leftovers better than the original. Yeah. Warmed over. Better than the first dish. Like a cold meatloaf sandwich. I had cold Thai food today.
I prefer cold sometimes with pasta and Thai food and noodles.
I like cold noodles. They're refrigerated day after noodles.
Yeah.
You're a madman. That's exactly what you want to talk about.

Chapter 3: What are the hosts' thoughts on food preferences and leftovers?
Yeah. I don't want ā I don't even really need garlic in there. I don't need any of it. Just ā you do me the best mashed potato, the best hash brown, and the best eggs over easy, and I'll be fine with that. Because by the way, that's what I've set my ā that's what I've set my meter to when I've decided I wanted breakfast. So ā
I we stopped at a place and we stop in these places in the middle of goddamn nowhere. And we stopped at a place called Bob Evans. And by the way, the name Bob Evans gets ink. And we just stopped there and we just pulled in.
I am called the hippest dude in town.
And it was me, Mike, and Mike. And I usually eventually... Oh, there's us. Mike took a picture. Surprised that I'm wearing that shirt, aren't you? And that hat?
Yeah. Is that new?
Had a nice conversation with my wife the other day when I was leaving for my trip. I said, where's my hat? And she said, which one? And I said... Which hat? And she said, yeah, which one? And I said, the baseball cap I've been wearing for four months nonstop. I mean, to sleep. Making love. And it's not really making love, but I call it that. She said, well, you have a lot of baseball hats.
She really does see the best in you.
I said, are you shitting me? The hat I've worn nonstop, the Nick Offerman. Adam, you have a lot of hats. No, you don't. I said, I do have a lot of hats. They're all in the fucking closet somewhere. This one has been on my head nonstop for six months. And when I say six months, I'm being generous. You mean a year and six months. I mean a year and six months. She was like, which one? I'll say this.
And tell me if I'm being a douche. Now I sound, let me turn me up again. There we go. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. Tell me if I'm being a douche. But here's how I'm wired. Here's my problem. I'm at Niagara Falls. And, you know, after the show, as I said, we went to Niagara Falls. We have a romantic evening at Niagara Falls.

Chapter 4: What is the impact of negative journalism on artists?
And the stuff you're talking about wouldn't... If everything was going right... The stuff you're talking about where the narrative was messed up or the names are spelled wrong, that would not have happened.
Yeah, that's ā I'm sorry. My point was that in the old days, like literally there was ā you would be ā if I wrote a piece about Jacob, which I did, it was ā you would be rewarded for writing a good piece. But we're living in a world where you are only rewarded and you only get noticed for writing something got you, like this guy got nailed today, something negative, something with ā
something humiliating to someone there is no like i was sort of known i don't even know if jacob would be aware of this but like i think with rolling stone i was one of the sort of nice writers which cameron crowe had been in earlier like i knew a lot of artists got along with a lot of artists and obviously and genuinely respect artists but that kind of journalism is over what's ironic is we're talking about the one artist that would like to be misrepresented with total confusion and inaccuracies and the further from the truth the better so why that guy got caught i have no idea
All right. Where does Dad live? Is he back east? Sometimes. Is he out here sometimes? Mostly out here.
Chapter 5: How do personal critiques affect artists' perceptions?
Oh, really? Did not know that.
Maybe you'll see him in the boo.
That's what I like to call it.
Jacob, do you like to be represented correctly in articles?
Well, sometimes when it's true, it stings more than when it's not. Oh, yeah. Sometimes when it's further off the mark, you'd just rather have more of that than actually well-known or things that you care about talked about.
Are you talking about a review or a critique?
Just personal critiques, I guess, or facts about yourself. Yeah. I've always said I'd rather, and I've had many, minus four-star reviews are much better than one-and-a-half stars. Well, it just depends, too. David, as you say, you probably never gave many one- or two-star reviews in your time.
Oh, actually, when I was a record review editor of Rolling Stone, I would do this thing where we actually had the columns.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of Chick-fil-A's controversies?
And if the column came up short, I would fill in and I would just destroy somebody. I'm not always that nice. Some records are really bad and they can be thoughtfully taken apart and dismantled and that's okay. Yeah. One paragraph on Dennis DeYoung's third solo album, for instance. I remember that one being... From Styx? Yes, he was Styx. That's a mega reunion waiting right there.
That and Journey. They can all still do it.
All I remember is, I think, seeing a behind-the-music thing with Styx.
That's one of the greatest behind-the-musics of all time. Yes.
At the festival?
Yes. It's a great one. He's acting out Mr. Roboto or something like everyone is saying that's a fucking hostile crowd. And some band like ZZ Top just got off the stage and they're like, look, we're going out there and we're playing the hits. We're playing the rock and roll hits. And he's like, no, no, we're doing this conceptual Mr. Roboto, Mr. Roboto rock opera thing.
And it's like not in front of the festival crowd that just got done watching ZZ Top. 12-minute skit. We're doing a skit. Here's how weird. Now get in your tinfoil outfit and get out in front of those drunken Texans.
And it is like out of a movie. The guy who I played today, E, one day called me over to his house and said, I want to show you something. Like it was a porn snuff movie or something. And he pulled out a full live recording of the Mr. Roboto movie. tour, which is, it is a rock and roll snuff film. You have to see it. It is unbelievable. I'm dying to. A viciously xenophobic concept album. Really?
Brilliant. Brilliant. Anti-Japanese concept album. You got a lot of attention. Right up your alley.

Chapter 7: What personal feelings does the speaker express about family names?
Well, a couple things. First off, as I always said, when I met Jimmy, you know, I have this thing. I'm one of these guys who my family is so fractured and so out of it and so fucking... Dead inside. When I hear people do that thing where they give their kids nine middle names, it makes me fucking violently angry because I have no middle name.
And also, even the junior thing pisses me off because my dad would never think about that. Why would I name my kid after me? It's slightly pompous, but it also shows some thought like I want my name to carry on through. You know, there's a lot of things you do in life that are sort of pompous and egotistical. But for I mean, look, you can build a library and put your name on it.
And it may be an egotistical, narcissistic move to do. But meanwhile, there's a lot of hobos who got a place to sleep now. But either way, when I met Jimmy, I didn't know his dad's name. I didn't know the whole situation. So one day I laid into him on this junior bullshit. Because I knew his kid, Kevin, wasn't a junior. And I did the whole fucking junior bullshit.
And then he gave me the, I'm a junior. And then I had to go, oh, yeah, not you. I mean, not when you're named Jim. You know, my dad's a Jim. And if I'd been a Jim, that would have been cool. And then... I gave him the whole my buddy Ray with his brother Rich and Rob and Rob, Rich and Ronnie and Ray and how just fucking retarded that was.
And as I've told you before, he said, I'll tell that to my brother John and my sister Jill and my mom Joan. And I said, oh, yeah, that's uncomfortable as well. So two very uncomfortable name based discussions with Jimmy very early on. How the fuck was I supposed to know he had one of those goofy families where one picked out a first letter like the goddamn Kardashians?
They've taken it to a new level, though, because they actually take Chloe and start it with a K. You know, now all bets are fucking off. Right. to just start Charlie with a K while you're at it.
Either way, his parents, much better than mine, I see them for Father's Day, and I see them at all the events, the Feast of San Gennaro and all that kind of stuff, and as fucking fantastic as his parents are, it always reminds me of what losers my parents are when I have to see this guy's parents. And what a weird contrast that I got hooked up with Jimmy Kimmel.
Jimmy Kimmel, his two things in life are playing Scrabble And being adored by his parents. Those are his two hobbies in life. Those two greatest things. Number one, Scrabble. Number two, being adored by parents. Now, where's that leave me? God damn it.

Chapter 8: How does the speaker compare his upbringing with Jimmy Kimmel's family?
In a drainage ditch. The rest of the goddamn losers.
All right. I spelled cat again.
But to play Scrabble competitively. It gets into arguments with people over Scrabble. All right. That's enough of that. That's enough. That was What Can't Adam Complain About. Beth Riesgraf coming in the hottie from Leverage. Fifth season. What the fuck? What happened? It's like when that kid said he was 13 when I started. I was like, you were, shit, I'm the same age.
How did you jump ahead one quarter of your life? Someone's got to work this out. We will talk to the breathtaking Beth next.
It's time to check Adam's voicemail.
Hey, Adam. I noticed, uh, not Taco Bell materials. The list that I cracked was for free, and Dan and I, you better get on that. Otherwise, uh, who knows what might happen when your mom's searching for her next appliance. Take care.
Thanks. You can leave us a message at 888-634-1744.
Yeah, everyone's a comedian. Stamps! I'm going to spit on myself. Stamps.com. That's right. Post office. Fah. That's what I say. As best people from Minnesota would say. Fah. All you super tall blondes from Minnesota. Back to the post office, you would say, with the traffic and the parking and the hassle and the people. Come on, let's face it.
You're not going to do a lot of networking at the post office.
