And everybody's concerned with business and banks right now.
The banks are teetering, we're on the verge of 2008, we're on the verge of 1929
a lot
of people are saying.
You could say almost every business is struggling right now.
Pretty much every business.
Right.
Yeah.
A lot of businesses have failed to deliver content.
Yes.
Or should we address that?
Can you think of any?
I think us.
The Adam Friedland Show.
Okay.
Folks, this is a very special episode of the Adam Friedland Show podcast.
Usually Adam interviews guests, but today Adam is going to be interviewed in
sort of a BBC
style hard hitting, you know, we're going to really get into it and figure out
just what
the hell is going on at the Adam Friedland Show.
Correct.
Yeah.
A couple of announcements I think we should be making.
Let's give people a back story.
Okay.
Back story.
Just because people want to know.
You can interrupt me if I'm wrong.
Go ahead.
All right.
Let's see.
This should be good.
You're on a podcast for 17 years.
I believe six or seven years.
Six or seven years.
Yeah.
It's called Come Town.
Come Town saw.
What is the right?
Why?
What are you writing?
I'm taking notes.
Okay.
I'm taking notes.
This interview has been produced.
This is how normally when you're in interviews.
Okay, yeah, yeah, let's go.
It's produced.
Okay.
Instead of a stack of cards with emojis on them, if you have just one legal pad
with specific
questions, you can sort of plot out a map of what you want to discuss.
So you have a strategy, like a roadmap.
You have a strategy.
I see that, yeah.
So, yeah, you were on a podcast, Come Town, for six years.
Yeah, integral part.
And this was sort of the culmination of a long time you spent just absorbing
the culture
in preparation.
I did it for the culture, a lot of people say.
To create the podcast, and the podcast was successful.
Quite successful, yeah.
And in early 2021, you decided to fire probably the most prominent or
successful member of
the show and rebrand it as just your show.
You had had enough of sharing the pot.
It was a difficult decision that I made, but we focus tested it.
Was there any way that influenced by Elon Musk's decision to buy Twitter?
I think through osmosis, perhaps, but I don't think it was a direct result of
that.
You know, I don't think I was copying.
How soon after you were vaccinated did you decide to turn the show Come Town,
the podcast,
with zero overhead, into the Adam Friedland show, a full television production
with probably
$100,000 a month in overhead?
It was a matter of months.
I don't think it was immediate, but I think the vaccine had to work its way
into my system.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You think it left the site of injection and went through your brain?
It went around my body, into my feet, into my penis.
My brain, definitely, is part of my body.
There was a Japanese study that said that the vaccine goes into people's genitals.
Did you see that?
No, I didn't.
Yeah.
I figured only the Japanese would.
Well, they were injecting it into people's genitals?
No, it went from their arm to their genitals.
Just directly in there?
Yeah.
Kind of like a blue chew.
Well, I would assume, yeah, they don't fuck, so they're going around just horny
all the time.
Well, if you need a good vein, you know, you might have the penis vein.
Right.
Well, it's all backed up down there.
There's a lot of pressure, so everything just gets sent right to the genitals
in those folks.
Okay.
You're actually, speaking of, you're now banned from the country of Japan after
a controversial episode.
I wouldn't say that there's an appeals process going on, and I can't talk about
an ongoing legal case.
You're in discussions with the embassy.
Yeah.
The United States government is actually advocating on my behalf.
They're stepping in.
They're stepping in.
To keep you in Japan.
To send me to Japan.
To send you.
And have them throw away the key, so to speak.
So, would you say that the Adam Friedland Show is failing?
Define failing?
Well, I guess just purely from an economic standpoint, would you say that more
money is going out the door than coming in?
I think it depends on how you look at the spreadsheets.
Have you looked at the spreadsheet?
It has been some time since I've looked.
Yeah.
It's kind of one of those, like, if your report card is bad, if you don't look
at it, you didn't get the grades.
Okay.
I guess more from an artistic perspective, then.
Would you say that your creative vision has been solid or thrown off course?
No.
No?
What do you foresee happening?
What do you mean?
With the show.
I think we just made that decision.
What was the decision?
Dave.
What about Dave?
No, he just, his phone's ringing now.
Okay.
It's disrespectful.
I mean, we're like talking to our audience.
We're giving a state of the program.
What's going to happen?
We're going to keep doing this damn show.
And then we're going to, because I think the folks that are good enough to pay
for premium.
I think what I see, you know, we look at chatter, we look at information from
focus groups, and it seems that people want the podcast back.
No, I don't, I don't, I don't think that's what it is.
I think it's about churning out consistent content.
In the form of a podcast.
I don't think.
And the twice a week podcast format.
The twice a week podcast format will return.
The twice a week podcast format will return.
We've experienced some frustrations with editing.
We have two interviews that are in the can.
One that should be coming out tonight.
But with that inconsistency, I think we've realized that we have to provide
consistent content to the people that pay for the consistent content.
So we will be returning to a free and a premium model with the actual Adam
Friedland show released as it is ready.
This week's episode is about 10 days late right now.
Through some series of fucking, I don't know, some comedy of errors, let's say.
And what are some of those, what are some of those errors?
And where are they comedic?
Not very funny.
Yeah.
Let's just say.
Okay.
But it's a thing that smart people say, comedy of errors.
What does that mean?
Was it a Shakespeare kind of thing?
I have no idea.
In fact, I never understood why they just decided some of the Shakespeare plays
are comedies.
And they're like, oh, this one's sad and this one's funny.
Well, I think if everyone ends up dead at the end, it's a sad one.
Unless you're one of those guys that's into like dead baby jokes.
Kind of like a you kind of guy.
Me?
Kind of like someone with like a Eric Cartman style, like dark sense of humor.
Okay.
So then let's just clarify what that means for the audience because Inquiring
Minds would
like to know, what will be the new form of the Adam Friedland Show.
The new form of the Adam Friedland Show.
Which will be called Adam Friedland Show Retro Podcast because it's a throwback
to the comeback.
Get another rebrand.
Okay.
Here's the new show.
There's no new show.
Okay.
We will just be adding an additional podcast every week so that we can stop
freaking out
when a actual talk show is in production and late and yes.
So basically you will continue to get the talk show.
There are two episodes that are coming out right now.
Two huge guests that you guys are actually going to really love.
And then in addition to that.
If you are a paying subscriber.
If you are a paying subscriber.
If you're not a paying subscriber.
If you're anybody and you have a YouTube account.
Let's go to, if you don't mind, going to the Adam Friedland Show official
YouTube channel.
Which is just Adam Friedland Show.
It's not whoever this Indonesian guy is.
Everybody keeps telling me.
He seems like a great guy.
He seems, well at the very least he knows kickboxing.
Does he?
Muay Thai.
I would imagine they all do.
Like an Ong Bak.
Yeah, either that or the big thing over there is I guess is going into the
jungle and building
a house in two days at a, like model magic.
And tucking.
They like to tuck.
Yeah.
There will be a, so the plan is.
The plan is.
We do the regular podcast, this, which will come out on Wednesdays.
Yes.
And the video and the audio will both be free.
The video, the audio you can get on the old RSS feed.
That'll still be there.
Correct.
The video will be public on YouTube.
Correct.
Then every weekend, the same thing, but paywalled on Patreon.
Correct.
So it goes back to the old format and then there's also, it's no more divvying
up the
video and the audio.
Correct.
And then there will also just be the Adam Friedland show.
Yes.
Which is not part of the Adam Friedland retro podcast project.
Sure.
So basically all we're saying is you will be getting more content if you're
paying for that
content.
And this time we promise.
It's just very frustrating when we divvied it up to say, oh, the talk show will
be behind
a paint wall.
And when we have complications in our production model in trying to start a
television show off
the couch ourselves, we won't be in a position.
It was fine when the pinnacle of the actual talk show guest was, let's say,
Caleb Pitts.
We have, after you hit Ernie Hudson, the next week you can't have.
Our next two guests are, I can tell you right now in 2023, much bigger
celebrities than Ernie
Hudson.
No offense to Ernie.
Wow.
Friend of the show.
Wow.
I can assure you guys of that.
They're probably in 2023, our two biggest celebrity guests.
So get ready for that.
And that will be on Patreon, but we will be returning to a premium model
starting next
Monday.
At the very least, please subscribe to the Adam Friedland Show.
Yes.
So people know that we have a YouTube channel.
And this evening.
All of our content is reposted by, again, an Indonesian man.
I thought he was from the Philippines.
Is that not Indonesia?
I think it's a different place.
Okay.
I think one's Muslim and one is, I don't know, one is Pacquiao.
It's all Lilo and Stitch to me.
Anyway, so yeah, all we're saying is there will be additional content now going
up on the
Patreon and extra podcasts every week.
And the same talk show that you know and love.
And as always, a free episode out to the public.
And that is what we're committing to because people that are paying five bucks
a month deserve
content on a consistent basis.
Thank you.
And good.
I'm glad we're on the same page about that.
I agree.
Because I'm tired of fighting with you about it behind the scenes.
No, he's bullshitting.
We're never fighting about it.
I'm tired of, I say these people deserve something and you say to tell with
them.
Yeah, I say, um, yeah.
Let them eat piss.
Let them eat shit.
Let them eat caca.
Let them eat poo-poo.
Anyway, but also on Patreon.com, hopefully this evening, April 20th, our new
episode of
the talk show.
Is that a Patreon episode?
Is that free or Patreon?
I have no idea.
I'm not.
I think it's Patreon.
It's Patreon.
My only role here anymore, I told you this six months ago, is I'm an advocate
for the
audience.
You're a man of the people.
And I'm a character driven.
I'm always, I'm characters from now on.
And Nick will be doing one of his classic episodes, or classic characters, on
the new talk show
episode.
So strap in, stay tuned.
The Philly thing.
It'll be fun.
Yeah.
But Chinese.
Mm-hmm.
But Chinese.
Yeah.
Where are you from?
Philadelphia, China?
Yeah.
Chinatown, Philly.
Oh, Chinatown, Philly.
Yeah.
Where the bus lets off.
Mm-hmm.
Is it still a Chinatown over there?
I don't think it is.
It is, yeah.
I don't think it's a Chinatown over there.
I don't think it's a Chinatown over there.
I don't think it's a Chinatown over there.
I don't think it's a Chinatown over there, but I don't think it's a Chinatown
over there.
I don't think it's a Chinatown over there, but I don't think it's a Chinatown
over there.
I don't think it's a Chinatown over there.
I don't think it's a Chinatown over there, but I don't think it's a Chinatown
over there.
I don't think it's a Chinatown over there.
I don't think it's a Chinatown over there, but I don't think it's a Chinatown
over there.
I don't think it's a Chinatown over there.
