Writer Mike Lynch is filling in for Bald Bryan today. Adam explains that at one point he worked the sound board, but when he went on his honeymoon, Bryan took over. Now he’s reclaiming his rightful place on the SFX board, and he plays several parody songs that he and Dick Banks wrote together once Bryan took over the job.

The top news story involves LeBron James deciding to go to Miami next season. Teresa teases Adam about his comments that tall people don’t live as long, and they are reminded of their very tall guest Brad Garrett, who was on the show last night. Moving forward, Mel Gibson is in deep water again for several bigoted remarks about latinos, and Adam wonders if maybe in Australian culture, these horrible words don’t mean the same thing. Adam concludes that we are actually not as racist in the US as they are in other places in the world, and they all wonder if people will continue to see his movies.

After some brief conversation about the Emmy nominations, the guys from Schmoes Know movie reviews return to offer their thoughts on various summer blockbusters. Adam wants to know more about the epic flop of Knight and Day, but the guys say that the failure is not the actor’s fault. They also talk about The Last Airbender, and conclude that this could be one of the worst summers for movies ever. There are some bright lights on the horizon, and Adam can’t wait to have a marijuana medstrip and go see The Expendables with ESPN’s Sports Guy Bill Simmons.

Adam takes several calls for a round of Mr. Brightside. One guy recently hit a bum with his car, and another is bummed that he’s had to move from San Diego to Kentucky. Another caller is upset that he’s about to become a radio co-host with Danny Bonaduce, and the final caller owes a quarter of a million in back-taxes. Adam tries his best to make everyone feel better about their current situations.

The last part of the news deals with Lindsay Lohan selling her first post-jail interview. Apparently she won’t take less than $1 million, and Adam thinks it’s because she’s broke. Even though she gets paid to make club appearances, that’s not enough to pay the bills. The Schmoes Knows guys offer their thoughts on the new Linda Lovelace biopic that she will be starring in, and before they wrap up the show, Teresa jumps into a double-round of Germany or Florida.

Today’s podcast starts out with Adam telling us the story of his Klondike Bar commercial. He then goes on a rant about meter maids after seeing a video of a meter maid giving a news crew parking tickets on live news. Adam offers some solutions on how we can deal with them. Teresa then goes into the news and talks about the drama now surrounding Gary Coleman’s death and his (maybe) wife.

Doug Benson joins in and Adam tells him about his recent experience with marijuana breath strips. After, they talk about their different porn preferences and follow that up with a game of Totally Topical TiVo. After the game they talk more about the different types of porn. Teresa tells a few more news stories, including one that could only be from Florida and one that could be a candidate for “Definitely Not A Jew”.

Adam welcomes Brian Brushwood and Justin Robert Young of ‘NSFW’ to the show. You can check out their podcast every Tuesday at 7pm, or just subscribe in the iTunes store. Brian and Justin are friends with tech-wiz and former Carolla guest Leo Laporte, who helped them take elements from the successful video series Scam School, and convert the material into a podcast. Brian is also the author of ‘Cheats, Cons, Swindles & Tricks: 57 Ways to Scam a Free Drink.’ Adam asks what’s the easiest way to get a free drink. Brian’s response: ‘Have tits.’

Since Brian is also an experienced magician, Adam asks him if people just laugh at David Copperfield, or if he’s really a good magician. Brian says he’s very good, and it reminds Adam of a Japanese magician he saw in Vegas who never said a word during his act. He just performed his tricks, and after each one he’d have a grin on his face which Adam compares to whipping out the biggest cock in the world. ‘Magicians are not a smug breed, so when you see them being smug, it really throws you.’

Brian and Justin start talking about Copperfield’s recent sexual assault case. He owns a private island called Musha Cay Island, and basically the claims were that he lured Lacey Carrol to the island with promises of modeling and acting, but instead sexually assaulted her and wouldn’t let her leave the island for three days.  Later the case was dropped after she was brought in on charges of prostitution and false accusations of rape for a separate case. To this, Adam has a message for all hot girls: ‘Whether your plan is to head back to Phil Specter’s place or Copperfield’s island […] if you’re hot, it’s understood that we want to fuck you. We didn’t ask your fat friend if she wanted a first class ticket.’

Continuing the discussion of sexual predators, Adam talks about his favorite parts of watching the television series ‘To Catch a Predator.’ Mostly he loves when they read the internet transcripts back, or when they tell the predator he’s allowed to go only before he gets tackled by local police. Adam says if he was ever in this situation, he would send a pizza guy in 5 minutes earlier, just so he can see the door open and check for camera crews. He says, ‘worst case scenario, you have a pizza waiting for you.’

Talking more about law enforcement and what makes people conform and obey, Brian describes the Milgrim Experiment, where people were told to administer electric shocks to a patient answering questions. Even though they weren’t actually shocking the person, they found that over 90% of people would continue ‘shocking’ the patient, even when the actor playing him was screaming for them to stop. This sets Adam off on a humungous rant against anyone who’s been deputized and acts like a dick under the guise of power.

As Adam wraps up the show, he asks guest Justin Robert Young if he’s ever been referred to as Robert Young, aka television character Marcus Welby M.D. Justin has never once in his entire life heard this reference, and Adam jokes ‘Why do I have to point this out to you? This is your name! Don’t you have an uncle who recognizes the name? […] Maybe this is your grandfather!’ Adam reminds everyone to check out the NSFW podcast, and also check out Adam’s upcoming live shows in San Francisco (May 20^th), and Seattle (May 21^st & 22^nd).

Documentarian/Writer/Director Alex Gibney, known for projects like Enron: Smartest Guys in the Room and Taxi to the Darkside, sits with Adam to discuss his upcoming episode of the ESPN series 30 for 30. The episode will be titled ‘Catching Hell,’ and focuses on the fury of sports fans in two infamous moments.  During the World Series, Cubs fan Steve Bartman caught a foul ball just as left fielder Moises Alou was reaching to grab it. Moments later the whole stadium started calling him an asshole, and eventually he had to be escorted out of the stadium.

When Bill Buckner let a ball run under his glove and between his legs in the 1986 World Series, the fans were equally distraught. Adam says ‘This is your celebrity, you’re the Octomom of professional baseball.’ Alex jokes that after losing the 86 series, he needed psychiatric help.

Adam wonders, ‘What is it about baseball that fosters that [type of reaction]? Football fans aren’t that way […] they don’t have the memory and lament.’ Alex surmises that perhaps it’s because baseball is a ‘game of the imagination’. Adam says he was a big Rams fan growing up, but ‘so what if they lost to the Pats in the Superbowl? Why should I let that ruin my weekend?’

Alex’s current documentary deals with the Jack Abramoff scandal, who Alex describes as a ‘super lobbyist’. He explains that as long as Congressmen are dialing for dollars and hosting fund raisers, they are vulnerable to the people who have money. The film shows some of the outrageous stunts Abramoff used to move money around. By the end, ‘you should be pissed off because you realize that our country is being taken away from us.’

Adam wants to know why Obama hasn’t called bullshit on this. He figured you wouldn’t hear either of the Bush’s saying anything about it, ‘but I thought Obama was one of us.’ Alex points out that Obama took a small amount of money but Adam says anyone that gives you money is going to eventually want something, and we gotta have limits on the spending.

Adam wants a system where there is no political advertising. If you want to learn about the candidates, go to the library. That way only the initiated will vote. Alex says there are 20 countries that already do this in Europe, and Adam says we should go around and steal other countries’ best ideas. Like the waterless toilets in Japanese subways, ‘why don’t we do that!?’

Bringing the discussion back to Abramoff, Alex says that he made $30 million just from one Indian casino client alone. Adam and Alex agree that vices like gambling should be legalized and taxed instead of spending money to put them out of business. Adam says the lottery is the ‘most retarded form of gambling on the planet,’ and thinks it’s insane that it’s legal to play but you can’t bet on a football game.

Regarding the current financial crisis, Adam asks ‘Can we really blame financial companies for trying to make money any way they can?’ Alex says, ‘If you have a system where the government is being bought off, then you have a serious problem because they’re not paying attention.’ Adam suggests ‘instead of focusing our ire on those people, how bout we use this opportunity to say ‘what happened here?’’ To learn more, be sure to check out Alex’s documentary, Casino Jack and the United States of Money.
