Adam Ray on the Harland Highway.
Welcome to the Harland Highway.
All right. Let's get this sucker going, huh?
You're causing a major
disturbance on my time.
It's the Harland Highway.
What's up, Bra? If I'm here
and you're here, doesn't that make it our
time? I have
Come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass.
Am I hallucinating here?
Just what in the hell do you think you're doing?
You just made a wrong turn.
On to the Harland Highway.
This is your fucking wake-up call, man.
You're riding down the Harland Highway with Harlan Williams.
In 30 seconds, you'll be dead.
I'll blow this place up and be home in time for cornflakes.
Hey, boys and girls.
Welcome to the Harland Highway,
The H, and great show today.
Great show.
We've had this Wildcat on the show before as a guest.
Great guest.
In fact, one of the highest rated Harland Highways.
I think he sits in the top 10 of all the Harland Highways,
and we're almost at 500.
So to be in the top 10, this is pretty good stuff.
He's a comedian, he's an actor.
He's a podcaster.
He's many, many things.
He has, in fact, been late for dinner.
I checked on Wikipedia.
He's been late for dinner.
Welcome, my buddy, Adam Zachary Ray.
Is it Zachary?
It is.
Well, it isn't, but it is now.
It is now.
Well, it's Adam Ray, but for me it's Adam Zachary Ray.
Are you cool with that, or are you mad?
It's your show, so you could have called me, you know,
Zachary beef titties.
Oh, wait a minute.
Say that one again?
Zachary beef titties.
Can I go with that?
I like that.
Zachary, ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Zachary, beef titties to the Harland.
You emphasize the tities more on that one and not the beef.
You know what, in fairness, if you want to give me a middle name,
like instead of just Harland Williams, I mean, I'm not going to sit here and not take it.
So you want to.
Harland Rumpelstilskinskins.
Done and done.
Fair enough.
Done and done.
Wow.
Welcome to the show.
Usually I save plugs
until the end of the show.
Yeah.
But I'm excited for you
because you know,
you're a guy who's been doing
a lot of stand-up.
You kind of started out as an actor
in Hollywood.
Young, good-looking actor.
Went to acting school and became Wolverine,
which is what any great actor does
when they graduate and pay tons of money
for an acting program.
And they become a theme park character.
Well, before we get,
get to that. What acting school did you go to? The University of Southern California.
And how many years? I did four years there and then I did a year in
London. What you did? With the British people. Did you study Shakespeare? I did. Did you? Shakespeare
in fencing. What, you did fencing while you did Shakespeare? It was a
Shakespeare fencing mask class taught by a guy named John Leonard. John
Leonard, the famous swordsman. And Marcello was the name of our
fencing teacher.
Oh, my goodness, that sounds lovely.
Could you wield a sword and drink a cup of tea at the same time?
Probably.
Oh, you are trained.
You are trained very well.
Wouldn't you agree, Your Majesty?
Yes, I think he's done very well for himself,
and he's got a sexy little caboose.
Okay, you know what?
Who's that the king of?
That was the Queen of England, okay?
What, the King?
Wow.
Easy beef. Easy beef tinnies. So you go, I mean, you took this acting thing very seriously that you got out, like you said, like a lot of actors, you don't like just jump into movies and TV. You had to take a job at a universal theme park as Wolverine.
Sure. Well, it started out as a tour guide on the back lot tour. And I don't know if we, I don't think we touched on this in the last podcast. But again, using when you graduate from an.
acting school you're like all right even in a job like you know giving people the tours of where
desperate housewives is filmed and where jaws was filmed i would still be like i still i'm still an
actor i still got i can i can use some of these skills in this tour so like when we get to the
jaws part i would commit 110 and freak out because you know on the script you're supposed to
you know acted enough to be like oh hey there's our buddy scuba steve in the water oh steve's just
checking out to make sure the lagoon's fun oh hey what's that is that a because you would see the
shark fin and then you know more 90% of the tour guys would go oh oh no Steve hey guys can you
help me we got to yell for Steve to get out of the water looks like there's a shark behind him
whoa no I would I wouldn't pull any of that bullshit I was like you know what I just went to a
four-year acting conservatory oh boy this is gonna be good queen of beef and now I'm here
trying to fucking create this atmosphere that there's a real shark in that water okay
so I was like we got Steve out there in the water and is that a oh god hey Steve
Steve, that's not supposed to be.
Is that a, okay, that's a shark.
Steve, Steve, we need to, folks, please help me scream it.
Steve, Steve, God, Steve, no, Steve, he's allergic to water.
He shouldn't even be out there.
Steve, fuck, Steve!
And I would just lose my shit.
Wow.
Yeah, and really commit.
And people bought it.
That was a great thing.
And then some kids would start crying.
And that's when my bosses were like, maybe he had to tone down the jaw spiel.
Probably the fuck Steve part was probably not good for the kids necessarily.
Is that where they started to cry?
Was that the trigger?
Yeah. Fuck, Steve!
Yeah.
I could see kids.
Yeah, because then it was going from Save Steve to Fuck Steve.
Yeah.
So it's like, somebody fuck Steve before he dies.
Can you imagine getting fucked just seconds before you're eaten by a giant white shark?
What would be more...
Now, that might be the only time when you would be okay with getting fucked.
Yeah.
Because you're like, I'm about to die anyway.
Let me have some sort of last crazy moment before I get out of here.
And you don't be great.
porn music would segue
into the Jaws team really perfectly.
Like it would be
Beow-de-do-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-be-l-bau-ba-ba- bow-wwwwow-wow.
A little bit of the sign.
Fuck, Steve.
Now, that, that was pretty good.
I think it would have been a much more impactful for me
if you'd done it in a British voice.
Like, oh, fuck, Steve.
Steve, there's a fight shock there.
Fuck, Steve.
It sounds a lot less frightening when you say it in a British voice.
Yeah, it almost sounds like that guy.
Who's that guy from Get Em to the Greek?
Mr. Bean?
No, that actor, that...
Oh, Russell Brand.
Yeah.
Fuck, Steve.
There's a fussy shark there.
Fuck, Steve.
Right?
His British accent is very pungent, if that's a word I can use.
Pugent is, yeah, that's a word.
That's like if you're at the funeral parlor and they forgot to do the embalming fluid.
your uncle becomes very pungent.
Yeah.
So moving along, you go from theme park, Wolverine,
which, by the way, is a good gig.
You could have been She-Hulk or Wonder Woman,
which would have been tough.
Yeah, I didn't have the girth.
Yeah, you don't have the figure for that.
Nice try.
And then, you know, you get a few little acting gigs here and there.
But here's what I was getting at, because I'm so excited.
Like I said, I saved plugs to the end.
You are coming out in a brand-new Sandra Bullock movie called The Heat.
Right.
And also with that other comedian.
Melissa McCarthy.
Melissa McCarthy from Bridesmaids.
Yeah.
And isn't she a Mike and Molly?
Yeah.
Yeah, she's got her own show.
And so Adam got a really solid, great acting gig in a brand new comedy that comes out at the end of June.
June 28th.
so I'm just excited and we're going to plug it again at the end but I was just like let's get it out there
yeah I mean I play a bad guy played one of two bad guys and I have a beard and long hair and I'm a douchey club owner but then you get to see me in the in the club trying to hit on sandor bullock
and my face gets shoved in between her um oh I can say or what I can say titty's on well you've already said fuck steve so I think tities is
But beep tiddies is my middle name, but if you say titties, aside from it being...
No, dude, after fuck Steve, anything goes.
You can say whatever you want.
You can say moose fucker.
You can say, I fucked a cloud.
Piglavia.
Piglavia.
A zebra clit.
They're playing at the Trubodore, by the way, next Saturday.
Oh, are they? Oh, they're great.
Zebra Clit's opening for...
Air supply?
Not even.
I was going to say mermaid pussy, but yeah.
Oh, yeah. Oh, mermaid pussy's still around?
Oh, I mean, like, they went through that, like, you know, every band goes through a, you know, a little turmoil like the whole, what are we trying to, you know, define what, what are we right now?
Yeah.
And so are we more mermaid, are we more pussy?
Wow.
But they're both now again?
Yeah, yeah, they're on top of things.
They're merging.
Yeah, but they're, I heard they're going to try to do some sort of, like, Christmas album and, like, one of them's an atheist, so.
Wow.
Mermaid Pussy sings Christmas classics.
Wow.
Daryl Hannah with a beard, eight reindeer, eight seahorses.
All right, well, good for you.
We're going to talk more about your movie towards the end of the show.
But let's get into it, gang.
Here we go.
Let's get into the chit-chat.
Important topics to cover.
And by the way, normally I play a game with all the guests,
the Harland Highway Animal Quiz.
But this time I've come up with a new.
new game just for Adam Ray and you, the listeners, the pavement pounders.
I'm not going to give it away yet, but hang in there, gang.
We're going to get to a brand new game.
First time it's ever been played with Adam, but let's get to the first question.
Adam, have you ever walked in on someone having sex?
Oh, yeah.
Who was it?
And what did you see?
Well, I've got two.
Ooh, good.
Nice.
First one, freshman year.
roommate a week into meeting each other.
Yeah.
And, you know, it's obviously you're going to walk in on the masturbating.
You're going to walk in on the sex, because you don't have the schedules down yet.
I didn't like that obviously part.
You know, obviously you're going to walk in on the masturbating.
I mean, no.
No, no, obviously I don't want to.
Let's not make that like a must happen item.
No.
You're going to wake up.
You're going to get a nutrient bar.
You're going to see him touching his dick.
Oh, all right.
So what happened?
Well, so I walked, he had his girlfriend visiting from Santa Barbara.
And, you know, we hadn't yet gotten on the same page as far as like, does he have math from 9 to 1 or science from 2 to 4?
Sure.
I hadn't gotten that figured out yet.
And also, he never locked the door.
Even when we left, like, so our door was just always open.
Okay.
And so I'm coming back from play rehearsal, and I opened the door.
And his girl, and he's like 6, 5, big dude.
She's like, you know, 5, 4.
A little small girl.
Yeah.
She's on top of him.
I walk in.
She immediately turns around.
He continues to have his way to plow.
And he just looks at me as he's doing.
He goes, hey man, can he give me like five minutes?
And I stay in the doorway and then I kind of close the door real quick.
Because I needed to get like, I need to get like basketball shoes or something for a game.
And so I was like, can I just come in and get my shoes?
And she was wearing them?
oh my god is that what you're about to say i had to take him off her feet
no so then he uh he he uh didn't so i'm thinking all right maybe he'll get up i go
can you just grab me my shoes he goes no no just come on in and get him bro i go all right
well just all right i'm not gonna look he goes it's all good i'm thinking maybe they'll
stop awkwardly hide under the covers no continue to plow as i walk in and grab the shoes
too casual yeah that's like a you were you was your campus on a
a commune by any chance?
Yeah.
Wow.
That's amazing.
Yeah.
Like the guy's on the phone.
It's like, hey, bro, can you give me five minutes?
I'm talking to my doctor.
Yeah.
I love that.
He actually said that.
Yeah.
And just, and so, because I walked in, I kind of glanced over a little bit and then
saw, and also hearing.
It was just, it's not like they put the cover over and then continued.
Was she disappointed?
Did she go, five minutes?
What's with the five, one half an hour, at least on this joystick?
I put on these goddamn tennis cleats
At least they could get half an hour out of it
Yeah, you don't want to put a time clock off
Was his name Steve by any chance?
It was.
So you walked in and went, fuck Steve!
I've had it out for this guy for a long time.
Wow.
Okay, that's a great one, man.
And I love it that you kind of...
See, most people would have just slammed the door,
but you're like, hey, dude, is it okay if I go get my shoes?
I needed my shoes.
Wow.
What was I going to play the game without shoes?
What was the game?
It was a basketball pickup game.
And what was the play you had just come from?
How to succeed in business without really trying, the musical.
Is that true?

for real yeah what's that
the guy just sipped his drink like
whoa very off setting right there
yeah yeah it was uh you want to hear a great story about that
the guy who directed it was this guy kelly ward he directed all the musicals at usc
and he was in the rat pack
the no the pink bunnies he was in the in greece he was in travolta's gang
oh okay yeah yeah yeah grease
and like had lines and was it
and all the musical numbers.
And, hey, Danny, you know, where's the hopscotch game tonight at the fucking, you know.
I love you, Sandy.
Yeah, yeah.
He was one of his buddies.
And so, you know, I had the musicals all through high school.
I feel like I have some sort of experience and knowledge in this field.
But I'm a freshman and I'm ensemble, but I got a lot to do.
And I'm also thinking like, oh, I'm in comedy, even though I'm doing this.
But, like, I've got a comedy background.
A lot of these people are just musical theater people who may think they're funny.
But I'm like, I've done stand-up 10 times.
Wow.
I think I know what I'm doing.
So I'm like, I had the audacity to, uh, to volunteer some suggestions in some moments to go, like, not, not, um, in a pretentious way.
Just like, hey, wouldn't it be like, I thought it would be funny.
And I was like, now, fuck it.
Say it.
What's the worst he's going to do?
Say no.
Also think you're an idiot.
So at one point, there's a trap door and they would have these, like, pirate dancers.
That's not right.
There was a trap door where people would come out of, for one of the scenes.
Yeah.
Oh yeah
There was like a toy
A girl was like
There was a trapdoor with actors
Yeah and they would come out of it
So at one point I go
Hey you know what it would be funny is when the actors
Who were supposed to come out
Come out of the trap door
Yeah
Then I come out
Just wearing street clothes at the very end
And just go
Oh fuck
And then just like walk off stage
And say something about like time travel or something
And then walk off stage like in street clothes
Not in the costumes
Oh it's all these girls dressed as pirates
They were
well whatever he said to you that was bad i'm going to double it because just hearing that it's
horrible so what did he say he just stared at me he didn't even say like i'm doing right now
i finished my suggestion and it's i mean you know it's horrible when a parent doesn't yell you but
they say i'm disappointed yeah he went the the kill him with silence good that's a good teacher
yeah he just stared at me and then i go horrible so and then i went so you know or we don't you know
but i anyway i just thought of it
And then he just stared for a couple more seconds
And then he walked away
He should have gone
I was in Greece motherfucker
Okay
Don't be telling me no trapdoor shenanigans
I was some motherfucking grease with Sandy
Who's Sandy
Okay enough with that
Let's get back to who else did you see plowing
Even you going off on that story was a bad idea
That whole thing
The whole actor's trapdoor
Even just telling it is horrible
Yeah, it was a bad, you know.
I mean, that's almost, don't ever do that again.
I'm like you're now, and I feel like your teacher,
but I'm ready to just silently walk away.
It's kind of a metaphor for,
just don't ever bring that up again in any way, shape, or form.
It's not a good icebreaker.
It's a dud no matter how you, however you try to shape it.
Wow.
So I saw the parents, the mom and stepdad.
You saw my parents.
Yeah.
My parents.
Oh, you said the parents.
Yeah, yeah.
Well, I thought you, when you said the parents, I thought you meant mine.
Are the parents, your parents?
Well, that's how I took it.
And I'm like, God, I haven't even seen my parents do it.
Aren't you lucky?
Yeah, it was.
So you saw your parents?
Yeah, mom and stepdad.
Oh, God.
Yeah, not good.
Heard it, saw it.
But very brief.
It was like, door was cracked.
I heard some screaming.
Oh.
I was like, who's hitting who.
Yeah.
No, it wasn't that.
It was who's.
Who's Zoom and who?
Isn't that a song?
Who's Zooming who?
Yeah.
Who's Zooming who?
Not an old 80s like song by like, who was referring to fucking is zooming.
I don't know.
But isn't that.
All I want to do is zoom a zoom, zoom, zoom, zoom, and a boom, boom, boom.
No, it's like, who's zoom in who?
It's like a Janet Jackson song or something or the Aretha sisters or something.
the uretha the ureth the ureth atract the ureth resistors yeah the ureth they're a real piss up yeah don't get areth
franklin and the ureth resistors next up yeah yeah don't do that um so was that trauma time how old were you
yeah 21 so you're a full-grown man thank you and you see your your parents zooming
yeah did you see skin was there nudity yet no they no they actually
And this is just, you know, old school, but they would wear full parkas and then cut little holes where the genitals are.
Eskimos sacks.
Yeah.
And did the dad make any comment?
Oh, Klondike bars.
Yeah, no, he, no, I mean, they didn't see me, see them.
You should have pushed the door in and said, hey, can you guys give me five minutes?
Just turned it around.
I got to get my shoes.
I got to get your shoes.
Yeah, it was traumatic.
Wow.
Because you just, I mean, you know, hey, you, I think you want your.
to think that your parents are still enjoying each other?
Yeah.
Right?
Or do you not?
I don't know.
I don't know.
It's weird.
It's like, it's like, you know how they have the Hubble telescope?
Yeah.
And they keep every year, it's like they go further and further and further back into the universe.
And they keep saying pretty soon we'll be able to see how the, when the universe was born.
And seeing your parents have sex, you're really watching how you were made.
Yeah.
And that's.
So you, it's like a hubble.
It's like a hobbling experience.
Wow.
Well, I'll never bring that up again, by the...
Too soon.
Way too soon.
Here's something that, speaking of the universe.
You're American, right, buddy?
Sure.
This is something a little more serious.
Yeah, yeah.
Will America cease to exist someday?
I mean, will it just stop this country,
the freedom, the life that we know.
I mean, it's happened to other societies.
Could it just stop here?
Well, it's happened, I mean, in Germany,
it's happened to the Greeks, the Incas, the Egyptians.
I mean, things change, governments change.
People are overthrown.
People evolve.
I mean, one day, it's possible that it could happen here.
If it does, what's the catalyst for that?
I don't, I, uh, I don't foresee anything crazy like another Holocaust happening.
Okay.
Um, stay with me.
Yeah.
Uh, but I do think that the, um, and not that it's social media's, uh, fault, but I think
there's just the way things are going as far as, uh, a lot of confusion and, uh, detachment from people
supporting one way of
ruling or thinking and
and the amounts of random acts of violence
and not feeling safe anywhere
it's just to me feels like it's
I feel like we're just losing control
and even the government is losing control
and so I don't know if it's going to be in 20 or 30 years
but it does it for the first time
maybe it doesn't seem impossible to think of like
a large group assembling and just taking shit over.
It's interesting you said all that because that's exactly what spawned the question
is, you know, I've been, I think I've been feeling that.
I think a lot of people have been feeling that that segments of society feels like
kind of spiraling out of control or the government doesn't really have a handle on it
or people are lying about it.
And we're focusing on so many things that aren't related to what we should be focusing on.
So I feel like the further we pull away from getting together and being like, all right, I know fucking I don't agree about everything what you're doing and you don't agree and maybe I hate you and maybe, you know, maybe sure, I stared at your beef titties during that meeting and I know like you caught me and it was weird.
But we both care about kids and learning and getting these teachers paid more.
So let's just figure that.
Let's put all that shit aside and figure out.
Like that there's no way that that it's crazy to think that that's so far from a reality because of just all.
the other book because focusing on the but you stared at that at her beef titties in that meeting yeah yeah but
it was once and i'm actually i'm actually gay so i don't know why i looked what yeah yeah so you don't
like her beef titties it's like yeah i mean i'm exaggerating but it's like those are the things that
are being focused on those types of things yeah and that's why it's thinking things longer to get
done and then and um also the things that people yeah yeah it feels to me too a lot of like it's
that whole, the whole, the same road that Rome went down.
Yeah.
Where it seems like criminals are getting away with a lot more now.
There's lawyers that are learning how to loophole the legal system and people that are clearly...
Look at this Jody area shit.
She might get off of that.
Yeah, Jody areas.
That's bananas.
Yeah, and OJ and the girl that killed her little daughter down in Florida, like, I forget her name.
Haley Joe Osmond.
Yeah.
Is that Haley Joel Osmond?
It's not the guy from I see.
dead people?
Yeah.
Wrong name.
It felt like it fits, though.
It did feel like it fits.
It feels like it fits.
Let's go with that.
Haley Joe Osmond,
Haley Mills.
Haley Mills.
Parent Trap, twins.
Twins.
Yeah, no.
Those fit.
Gum commercials.
Oh, sticky.
That was the greatest slash quickest game of match word or match play.
Word association.
Yeah.
It was good.
But I think.
Yeah, you're, yeah, you're...
It feels like it could dissolve.
Like, the society that we know, you start to see the fracture lines in it,
and you start to go, man, is the day coming when all this stuff ain't going to exist
where people do not have faith in the government?
Like, look at the gun control thing that just failed, you know.
Yet all those kids killed, the tail hook thing.
That is if you need a bigger example or a reason to go, okay.
Yeah, stuff is going to change.
Like even the president went all the way, everything's going to change.
And then all this bickering happens and they vote against it.
And nothing changes.
And you start to go, wow, things are really being decided for the wrong reasons.
Like when you stop protecting your own children from excess of guns and gun death and you're fighting in the other direction, you start to go, man, what else is heading south here?
Oh, yeah.
And I mean, that's not a small thing to start from either.
gun. I mean, five-year-old just killed a two-year-old. Did you hear about this?
I did, yeah. And I think it was the grandparents that were just like, well, it was your time to go.
She's in a better place. Wow. Because they're so pro. There's no reason to not have a gun.
And there's a child safe. I mean, she's in a better place. Wow. What's what was happening in her two-year-old life that was so awful other than being your granddaughter?
Yeah, she's in a better place smeared all over the wall.
You know what's crazy, too, is that, like, I did this show a few weeks ago and met this guy afterwards,
and he told me that he was so happy for the show and to be out.
He just got in a prison and for why he went to prison for carjacking.
But he was joyriding, he said.
He said, you know, went joyriding, and he was like, and it was stupid.
He goes, but I didn't hurt anybody.
Didn't do whatever.
You know, we had taken the car, but they went joyriding and then, like, got out and left it somewhere.
But he stole the car?
He said joyriding.
Okay.
But I guess, but I'm like, but that's what I said.
I go, but you took the car and went joy riding.
Yeah, right, right.
And he forgot that part.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I was like, okay.
It's like, yeah, you murdered someone, but you threw the gun in the river.
Yeah.
Okay, buddy.
We get you.
Yeah.
And so then he goes, but the, uh, the guy, uh, who's car he stole, um, uh, didn't want to press charges because he was like, uh, they can only,
put you in jail. He went to jail for eight years
and it just got now two weeks ago and he goes
but if the
person who you take the car from
feels fear then they can
that's they can use that to put you away
and the guy was like nah it wasn't actually him
it was the other guy that actually was whatever
but then the lawyers now feel like their job
is being called into question so like no no no no
this guy was a part of it too you're not so you just
let him go so they
they pulled all some shit and used the whole
fear thing and even the guy who again whose
car was was like no this guy's
not he's not him he's not a big and they fucking the lawyers were like no no no he's part of it and they
locked them up for eight years and he was like tell me about prison crazy shit and then i was like
what was the first thing you did now i'm just like super curious like eight years like for for that
yeah and uh and i was like what was the first thing you did like did you know did you go like rub one
one out and he was like oh i went and saw my family i was like oh yeah i mean that's yeah that probably
do that too and then he said he went to denny's was the first thing he did which makes a lot of
sense because you
wait rub one out you mean
masturbate yeah so you
asked a hardened criminal
if the day he got out of jail
he masturbated
what was that thing
you said earlier about
obviously you're going to see
a guy masturbate in college
wow
you're just way too casual
about masturbation
if you start doing it now
the podcast ends okay
it shouldn't be that casual
don't tell me
that's why America's going to shut down.
Do you really have a one masturbate during a podcast in your out rule?
Yes.
Yes.
Okay.
Yes.
Well, you know what?
There are no rubber aprons in this room right now.
What if I wear a glove?
If you sing beat it while you do it, okay.
And it's got to be a glittery glove.
And you have to moonwalk while you do it.
Yeah.
You're acting like that wasn't going to happen.
Okay.
Then I'm good with that.
All right.
Well, this leads us to the game.
We're going to do the game early.
You're going to love this game.
I could go down that path for a while, by the way.
The whole is America about to crumble.
Oh, you could?
Do you have some more you want to add?
I just don't talk about it too much.
And I'm very, it's an intriguing.
I mean, I guess I use that reference from the guy getting out of prison.
Yeah.
Because just the idea that he went away for something like that that was so.
But that's his story.
I have a feel something.
It's always the guys in prison that always claim they're innocent.
I just took the car joyriding.
Yeah. Really for eight years?
Yeah, no, there's more to that.
And you know what?
If he was part, see, that's what I'm talking about.
If he was part of that, if there was a car stolen, and just the fact that he was in it, that makes him an accessory.
Go to jail, dude.
Yeah.
I don't have sympathy for people that break the law like that.
Yeah.
I don't.
I don't.
It's like, that's what I'm worried about.
Like, we're just talking of Jody Arias and all these other people.
It's like they're finding ways to get off.
I didn't mean it like that
Well hey
Well no
Is that just because I was putting the glove on
And starting to get ready to moonwalk
I didn't mean it like that way
The way you've been meaning it
When I say get off
I mean get off of a crime
Hey
To each his own
Too soon
Did now do you
Jody the whole Jory areas thing too
Is that that puts the fear of God in me
That like a girl who
Who played him so well
As far as like
Seemed like everything
was great and loving and then just flipped on a dime.
Yeah.
Like that kind of scares me and as if I'm already like timid to jump back into a relationship at
this point in my life.
But shit, man.
I guess everyone's got a bat shit crazy switch in them, you know?
But here's the thing.
I think one of the things that plays into what we're talking about is society is changing
the rules.
Society is making it so that people can get away with stuff more.
Yeah.
Yeah.
society is presenting us with more and more violent shows like the CSI stuff and
dramatizing everything and it's the theater everything yeah I mean the guy who ate the face
of the Miami guy I mean it was it's crazy but but I think when you see stuff playing out in
a court of law now and people are seeing that A they get to become famous and B they also get
off of the of the crime I think people have it in their heads that these
heinous crimes are just kind of
like a lark now. Like it's
oh, it's a fight that went bad.
Yeah, he ended up in the shower with his
throat slit, but, you know,
it was his fault. He pushed
my buttons. He's, you know,
and that's what's scary. That's
the way society's heading,
it's starting to feel like
people can get away with stuff. Like,
it's a different country, but in South Africa,
that Olympian with no legs,
you know, he shot
his girlfriend through the bathroom door,
right now he's out on bail
and he's claiming he thought
there was an intruder in the house
and it's just like wow
to be a contestant on Jeopardy.
Yeah, either that or they're going to sell his legs
at the antique road show
either way he's going to benefit
you know.
It's the first time too that I watch movies
like when we went and saw Oblivion and I saw a preview
for After Earth.
Yeah.
And the first time when I watch a movie like that
and I'm like, oh shit, all right.
This might be like an incident.
side look into like what it could be like actually.
Yeah.
And then I start actually really taking a, you know,
a vested interest in do I want Will Smith's kid to be the one that's fucking
saving us?
Yeah, right.
That's a racist thing.
It's just a...
No, that's not racist.
It's a preference of like, you know, I've seen his music.
It's not that great.
Yeah.
If we're going to have a young child pop star that's the son of somebody famous,
hey, maybe fucking, you know, you know, you know.
there really is no one else
Raven Simone, I don't know
No, so it looks like it will be Will Smith's shit
Because neither of us came up with an answer
So it will, Will Smith's kid
Will be the one who rejuvenates the earth
Don't you think we're also giving the aliens a lot of like
We're basically making it known that Will Smith or Tom Cruise
Are going to be the ones who lead the charge
When we fight if they do come down
But it's like, if they're like, okay, cool, we'll just wait 40,
more years until Will Smith is 80
and then we'll attack. Because we've made it
clear that those are our choices. Yeah.
But I think
you know, 80, Will Smith, 80,
Tom Cruise 80, 80. 80's
old, but you put the two of them together.
Yeah, you're right. That cuts it
back down to 40. Oh, okay.
And they kicked the aliens' asses.
Okay. All right.
Well, interesting stuff, buddy.
Yeah. Very interesting stuff.
I've been thinking about Will Smith's kid for a while now,
so I just needed a forum to talk about them.
appropriately.
Great, great.
Masturbation.
Fuck Steve.
Sharks. Fuck Steve and Wilson's kid.
Which leads us to, I promised, uh, the listeners a brand new game.
And, uh, this is, this is, I tailored this just for you.
Awesome.
One of Adam's favorite sayings and you probably caught one earlier in the podcast.
He likes to say too soon.
That's like, that's like your, that's like your line, dude.
I do. Too soon.
I say mostly when I'm around you, but I...
Oh, I hear it everywhere.
I hear you say it on stage.
I hear you...
No.
So this game is called too soon or not too soon.
Love it.
And what I do is I give you scenarios and you have to guess are they too soon or not too soon.
Are you ready?
You've got six questions.
Guess or determine if they're too soon?
Determine.
Okay.
Yeah.
Good.
Thank you.
Sure. Here it is. Here's number one.
Hey, Ronald Reagan, put your arm down. I can see your bullet hole.
Too soon or not too soon?
Not too soon.
Oh, okay. Right. That is correct.
Not too soon. That is correct.
That is correct.
So there are right or wrong answers.
Oh, of course.
Okay, good.
I figured if anyone knew them, it would be you.
Are you ready for number two?
Yes.
Hey, OJ, you think I could leave my kids with you while I go to the mall?
Too soon or not too soon?
Come on, man.
Too soon.
Oh, nice.
Too soon.
Yeah.
Is that right?
Absolutely.
Two for two.
Wow.
Too soon for too soon.
This one's a toughie.
This one's a toughie.
Number three, are you ready?
Yeah.
Hey, Japan, can I offer you some cream of mushroom cloud soup?
Too soon or not too soon?
You know, normally I'd say too soon just because I don't think you should say Japan and cream of mushroom soup.
No, cream of mushroom cloud soup.
Yeah, I think that's not too soon.
Not too soon.
That is correct.
There we go.
Three for three.
I'm feeling good about my odds for the next three here.
Hey, don't get cocky.
Okay, number four, this one's very tough.
They get tougher as they go along.
Number four, hey, Mel Gibson, your rabbi is at the door.
Too soon or not too soon?
Way too soon, because his rabbi just, his rabbi just got caught in some fuck Steve shark sex pool accidents.
Wow.
You are right again.
I'm reading up on the blog.
and the...
Wow.
This one's very current.
So this, you know, this could be too soon, obviously, or maybe not.
Let's see.
This is a bit of a trick one.
Reese Witherspoon, do you know who I am?
Well, you're about to find out, I'm Batman.
Too soon or not too soon?
Well, I'd say too soon because you're releasing the fact that she is the new Batman.
So in that regard, I'd say too soon.
Yeah.
But not too soon because it sounds like she's got a pretty dirty, hoarish mouth on her.
You almost didn't get it, but then right at the end by saying that, you got it.
You tied it back together.
And number six, are you ready?
We've all said, do you know who I am, though, right?
I mean, like, I've been in line at Subway, and the guy's like, hey, that's going to be extra for avocado.
I go, did you see episode two of season eight of according to Jim?
He goes, I'm sorry?
I go, yeah, never mind.
I'll pay for that.
Oh, really?
That's your line, huh?
I do the Batman one.
Do you really?
Yeah.
Excuse me, do you know who I am?
No.
I'm Batman.
In what sort of scenarios?
You know.
You know.
You know.
Just anything.
All right, buddy.
You're doing great.
You're five out of six.
Not bad.
You're doing.
great.
I haven't been five out of six since the sweatpants competition of 1998.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah, it was the thing where they had Jewish fat kids to wear sweatpants,
and then they had to moonwalk while masturbating.
Too soon.
Too soon.
And that's not part of the game.
That's just me saying way too soon.
Okay.
There we go.
The final question in, too soon or not too soon?
Ready?
Question number six
Bring it
Hey Jesus
Can you move your cross please
It's blocking my son
Too soon or not too soon
You know what I've
I've gone back and forth on this one in the past
But I think
Considering
Considering the current state of affairs
With global warming
And melanoma
Yeah
Not the skin cancer
The band
That plays that opens for Mermaid
pussy yeah um
it's not
too soon
whoa
whoa
too soon
oh damn it
oh dude
dude
you want to just for the record
you want me to read it again and you
yeah please please uh hey Jesus
can you move your cross please
it's blocking my son
too soon man
oh yeah too soon he saves it
He saves it at the end with a little...
See, I'm your friend, buddy.
Thank you, man.
I'm looking out for you.
Set me up to succeed.
Perfect score.
First time the game's ever been played.
Too soon or not too soon.
Adam Ray, ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you.
Setting the bar high.
Let's move on.
If you could have sex with a cartoon character, who would it be?
Goofy.
Next question.
One of your...
Wait, wait, wait, wait, no.
Can you imagine having sex with goofy?
And A, it's a dude.
prove it
yeah you're right
that's my G spot
gosh
you really give
good cuddlingus
too soon
just broke up last week
oh is that that other band
they used to open for melanoma
before sour pussy did it
or whatever what is it
well in the sixth
60s, they were sour mermaid pussy.
That's where I got confused.
I'm older than you.
Fair enough.
Yeah, I actually saw them play.
So goofy.
Yeah, I mean, that's...
Those teeth are dangerous.
He's got those big buck teeth.
Yeah, no, you for sure don't get any sort of head from...
So it's all like intercourse.
Yeah, it's all, a lot of tantric stuff.
You can hold on to those ears.
That's the best part.
What about that little hat she wears?
Do it goofy style?
Oh, yeah.
And I think...
Why you're skiing off a mountain?
And I think Goofy's a dog, so you can do it goofy dog style.
You think I haven't thought about this?
Wow.
Try ordering that in-and-out burger.
They won't know what the fuck you're talking about.
Your days of moonwalking and masturbating backwards are coming to an end.
You're going to be doing a goofy doggy style while skiing with a cheeseburger in my pants.
Right there.
That's the spot.
Don't stop, lover.
Wow.
way too soon
way too soon what's one of your fondest memories as a kid
one of those those heartwarming
like you know I don't mean to be grim
but you're laying on your deathbed
and you're going back over your life
and you're just going to that soft warm spot
and you're like man that that was
that summed it all up that was a time of innocence
a time of warmth the time maybe family
maybe not do you have a moment like that
how young it doesn't
doesn't matter like just whatever that moment was where it kind of you know encapsulates
you know being being a great moment in your life as a kid that you think back on that you would
like yeah if you're on your deathbed you think or if it's a it's a gloomy day and you want to think
of something positive to remind yourself it's just it's one of those things where you're like the
world was safe it was a great moment there was nothing negative as a joyful warm whatever the
the mood was but it was a great moment what is what is one of those
Bond memories.
I'd say,
Wow.
Used to
in seventh grade
would go with some friends
in the last day of school
and we'd take
water balloons and stink
bombs. Yeah. And we'd go down to the
elementary school that we had just graduated from
because it went from kindergarten to sixth grade.
Okay. Sorry, first grade to sixth grade.
Yeah. And then seventh grade was
this was the first year now where in middle
school seventh and eighth grade so we go back to the elementary school say hi to some of the
teachers see the bus drivers we get on some of the buses with stink bombs and water balloons yeah and
and we go hey we walk down we go hey can we get we get on the bus that takes us back up to where
we actually live and we know the bus driver's like yeah no problem and we're with all these you
know fifth and sixth graders and all these kids are still in elementary school and we we drop about
15 stink bombs oh and then get off the bus and
And watch those ones that you step on the glass.
Yeah.
And it just smells like rotten eggs.
Oh, they're the worst.
And it lasts for hours.
And all sorts of just stinky pop tarts and last for hours.
And we would get off the bus and see all the windows just drop.
And every kid stick their face out the window and start screaming.
And that was great.
So that's like a sentimental moment that takes you back to the time when you were just punks running around.
Yeah, there was a care in the world.
And then in those same days, we would go.
go play basketball for hours and we would go to the lake and jump in and not have any responsibilities.
Yeah.
Isn't that great?
Aren't those moments great?
No responsibilities.
And also the wherewithal to know that responsibilities are still much further down the line.
Yeah.
Because you're 7th grade, you're like, yeah, I've still got high school.
But even in high school, I just don't have to think about getting a job yet.
Yeah.
Do you find those moments as an adult are hard to find, hard to find, or even not so much hard to find,
but hard to realize you might even be in them.
Yeah.
Like those kind of sentimental moments where you're spending time with a friend
or you're doing something and you just stop you and go,
this is really nice.
This is a really warm, sentimental moment or something like that.
Yeah, I mean, you definitely don't stop to appreciate those as much.
Yeah.
I mean, it depends on your life still, though, and what you're, I mean, you know,
if you're just consumed with working all.
the time but like yeah i i think i and this goes on the point of uh i think making time to do that
stuff like i you know they say like yeah you know make time to go on hikes and do this and do that type
of stuff to like you know separate and i feel like i do a lot of that quite honestly like on
the road like that's when i because then i'm away from la and away from god oh you're still working
yeah that's when i'll take time to really pull up nudie picks of goofy and really just
just lock my door to the holiday in
Put the do not disturb sign on my dick
And stand in front of the door
Because then they really get the picture that like
Yeah there's something going on in there
I'm not going to knock
Did you ever put the do not disturb sign on backwards by mistake
And next thing you know there's a maid helping you out
Which might not be a bad idea
So maybe so that it's reading disturb
No it's reading please clean this john
A room
Is that what it says?
Clean this room.
Sorry.
You know what does it for me
As a Catholic guy?
Yeah.
Putting up the Christmas tree every year.
Like going and buying a Christmas tree.
Great call.
Putting it up.
Trimming it, putting the lights on.
It's just, you know, out of all the stuff,
it's therapeutic, it's sentimental.
It's the smell.
It's the touch.
With a Christmas tree, you get so many.
Years of memories.
Fletting back.
Anything that gets instant memories to flood.
back is always a great thing. Whether it's a song or you're in a place with somebody where, you know, that you've, you know, yeah. And also I think Christmas is bigger than anything else in your life. It's bigger than your promotion at work. It's bigger than the politics at work. It's bigger than what's on the news. It's one of the few things that everybody will allow to be bigger than. Yeah. And for every. And the what is it? It's really kind of mind-blowing that's take something like that for one time of year where,
not saying everybody's happy because shitty stuff always happens and the news is still
first to report like this kid on the way to opening their present got hit by a snowball
sure yeah it doesn't stop everything beagle jizz or something and you know but a lot of it's it's
you know it's a giant cloud of awesome that just it's a moment yeah it's it's like after you've done
the tree you stand back and look and nothing else matters you don't think about you go look
of that tree. After you put the
and when you plug in the lights you go
look at those lights and just for
those few moments everything else
vanishes. Totally. And then maybe when
you're sitting there at night and the lights
are on the tree and the rest of the room is dark
and the room smells like
the pine tree and you just
it's the music. The Christmas
music. That's the other enchantment
of Christmas music.
And there's so much. It's like at every
evening. It's one time of year too when you're like
yeah, all right. Marike.
Carrie. Yeah. How many renditions
of jingle these bells?
Yeah. It doesn't matter.
Yeah, you'll listen to all of them because you're just so
entranced with the whole
feeling. Speaking as a Jew, too,
love that whole time of year.
Yeah. I mean, I did both for a while.
Oh, you did? My parents were together. Yeah.
But I mean, I love it.
Like, love when everything is decorated and out, especially
out here all the lights on Hollywood Boulevard and everything.
It's just like, because there is like this overwhelming
collective feeling of just like
you forget about maybe some other shit
because you're just like
you succumb to the
the symbolism of whatever it is
that's...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know what you mean.
Like what you said, that it's bigger than everything else,
that you're maybe not as consumed with...
What about the Jews getting rid of the...
Tucson, Tucson.
Yeah.
Getting rid of the...
The Germans.
I think it went down a little differently.
No, what about the Jews?
Jews getting rid of what is the thing with the grocery list no the the eight candles what
what is that called yeah honica well no but what is it actual that little thing with the
menorah the menorah yeah what about getting rid of that because it's kind of you know it's it's
kind of like a candle stand sure and the Jews come up with their own tree like we have the pine
tree maybe the jews have an oak tree or a birch tree completely 100% down for this there's the
a citrus tree yeah who doesn't want fucking taste
tasty fruits coming from your
fresh produce
holiday basket you don't even have to decorate you don't have to
put bulbs on the tree because you can just
you already have apples or oranges
they're round
sure or the Jewish palm
tree yeah I mean
a lot of Jews live near palm trees
yeah Florida Loderdale yeah
so maybe there's a Hanukkah bush
that's been oh what's that
well some people have tried to it's
that ship is I think sunk and sailed
a bush

we're being the one who would dance on the floor
