The Adam Friedland Show Podcast - Episode 32

It's the Adam Friedland Show podcast, hosted by Adam Friedland and Nick Mullen.
How are you doing, Nick?
I'm right. Are we starting?
Yeah, we just started.
Okay.
Yep. We're here live in the studio in New York City, Manhattan area, New York
City.
One of the five boroughs, one of the loveliest boroughs. It's a winter day. It's
fully winter, Nick.
It's in the 30s. It's chilly. Our bones are chilly.
Why are you doing like a don't look at my face kind of thing?
Why are you doing like this?
I'm just scratching my head.
What's going on? Guys, thanks. We said it on the premium episode.
Thank you to everyone that watched Year of the Dragon.
Of course, it does say the Year of the Dragon on the show logo, as Nick made
clear.
The correct name is Year of the Dragon.
Thank you to everyone who watched Nick's new special.
Shout out to you guys.
We're getting a great response on it.
We're pretty excited about it.
Thanks.
And if you're a new listener of the show from Year of the Dragon, we also do a
podcast.
And this is what you're watching right now.
And we also have a talk show.
To the however many people that listen to this is the logo of the podcast that
you're listening.
We have multiple verticals here at Adam Friedland Show Incorporated.
I think the way, because it's still people have trouble understanding the
differences, I'm going to build some kind of table that says the show.
Yeah.
But it says podcast, and then we'll get different shares for the podcast.
We should do a different lighting setup.
Okay.
Yeah.
Well, the distinction of the suit also, that's another visual distinction.
The Eric Andre suit.
Yeah.
It's not.
It's actually my father's suit.
He had it before that guy was alive, actually.
When your dad had a talk show.
No, he didn't have a talk show.
Oh, he didn't have a talk show.
He was just a man with a suit.
Oh, it's just a gray suit.
It's just a gray suit.
Oh, okay.
Oh, you could have mentioned this maybe nine months ago to me.
Maybe it's been like, yeah, you're in a different suit or something, perhaps.
Why?
Because now you're saying it's the Eric Andre suit.
Well, that's just what you've always called it.
From the beginning, you were like, I have to get an Eric Andre suit.
We have to make sure.
I have to be black.
You were like, people need to know that this is the Eric Andre suit.
People need to know it's the Eric Andre.
It is true.
I said, I don't know, Adam.
I thought maybe we should try to do our own thing.
And you said, what is our own thing?
He talked me down from the idea of calling the show.
You were like, I literally have never come up with a single.
I don't even know what it means to come up with my own idea.
Yeah.
He did talk me down from the idea of calling the show.
The Eric Andre show.
I think it would have been tacky.
You were like, nobody's ever done that before.
I was like, Eric Andre did it.
And you were like, literally, when?
Yeah.
When?
No.
Listen, I don't watch things.
I'm like, I think you stole that from Eric Andre.
I don't watch things.
You're like, I didn't even say that.
I don't watch things.
How am I supposed to know?
And then you started screaming.
I didn't scream at any time.
You're like, that's a singing.
That's singing.
No, you're a screaming.
That's singing.
You're screaming at the top of your arm.
Okay.
Would you tell the Vienna Boys Choir that they're screaming?
I don't even know.
Oh, DeJoy?
What is it?
Vienna Boys?
I'm thinking of a high-pitched choral singing.
Is that a scream or a sing to you?
I don't know.
You can call it whatever you wanted.
But you started doing that.
And then...
So Christmas is right around the corner.
And then Dave quit.
No, that's not true.
Dave did not quit.
I can't deal with this.
Dave did not quit.
I can't.
I don't know how to hear this.
Dave, something else happened with Dave.
I don't keep screaming at me.
And I'm like, I don't like that.
And you're like, he keeps saying it's singing.
But he's screaming at me.
No.
I did sing at him a couple times.
I did sing at him.
But it was not screaming, for sure.
And it was not in a high-pitched voice.
It was, you know, go to sleep.
Go to sleep.
Why is your hair all, like, matted down?
Matted down?
It looks like you put shampoo in your hair and then didn't wash it out.
I don't know.
I wear a hat?
Matted down.
I wear a hat on the way here, maybe?
I have a hat head, maybe?
What, should I put a little bit more volume in my hair today or something?
No, I don't know.
It's just, like, mushed down.
I mushed it with a hat, bro.
You know I wear it.
I'm just asking.
I don't even know what I'm thinking.
Listen, the bigger the show gets, the more attention we get.
So Hanukkah's on Friday.
Christmas is a couple weeks away.
So today we're talking about our favorite gift options for the year.
Is that right?
That I would like?
Yeah, that you would like.
I don't know.
I don't really think there's anything.
If I want something, I just go get it.
And then I kind of, the first two years of the podcast, I got all the things
that I wanted.
PS5?
PS4?
PS5 was the last of the things.
You got an OLED TV?
I do not have an OLED TV.
What is yours?
I have a Sony Z9D, which is a F-A-L-D display TV.
We've been over this a bunch.
Sorry?
Well, you got a television?
You don't know anything about TVs.
You'll like read Wirecutter for like a week and be like, I know everything
about fucking
blenders.
It's like, there's a whole, there's a whole world of people that read these
reviews all
the time.
They're involved in the world.
And you now, because you decided it's time for you to have an air fryer, you,
you, I don't
know, dude, it's like the sickest one.
I did get a new one.
An air fryer?
I got like a new toaster of an air fryer combo.
Yeah, right.
Yeah, exactly.
Exactly.
You got a combo.
I got it.
I got it.
Cyber Monday.
You got a combo unit and you're like, this is the best one.
I didn't check Cyber, or Cyber, I didn't check Wirecutter on that one.
I got to say, Wirecutter does not have a good hit rate.
I got to say 50% of the stuff I've gotten that they've recommended, probably
crap.
And I don't understand the amount of time they have in, like, they're like, we
have
7,000 experts.
What was that website originally?
It was like how to steal cable or something.
Was that what it was?
Oh, like cutting the, cutting the, cutting the wire.
Oh, that makes sense.
I never put that together in my mind.
Yeah, I think it was like digital, like TV antenna reviews or something.
Really?
Because when, when they switched over from old broadcast TV to the new digital
shit, that
kind of like ruined the experience of broadcast television, which used to be,
it's like fuzzy
and you got to play with the.
Yeah, the bunny ears.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We used to have that at our house growing up.
Yeah.
I mean, everybody did.
We're old.
No, no.
A lot of people's parents had cable.
A lot of people's parents paid their bills on time.
You know?
Anyways.
And then when they switched it over to the new shit, then it's like you didn't
have the
right reception, then you would just get like green squares or whatever instead
of the fuzz
or it would like stop or glitch out.
Yeah.
And then a lot of, you know, they added channels, but then also the guide.
It was presented as, there was like, well, I don't know if it was wire cutter,
but people
would be like, well, check out this hack.
You don't even need cable.
You can get all these channels for free.
And it's like, yeah, that's just network television.
They already had that.
It's like stop paying for gas by fucking riding the bus or walking to work.
Yeah.
And bounce TV as well.
Yeah.
Have you ever watched any of those channels like 7.3 and stuff?
It's just pretty much law and order SVU reruns all day long.
No.
I mean, there's like a black one.
I have cable now.
I don't have cable.
I do have a digital antenna actually, but I don't really use it.
I just use a login.
I, you know, I pay for streaming services and stuff.
And then I can watch events for free or not for free.
I pay for it, but then I can watch, watch them over stream.
But where I, my internet not to work, I do have a digital antenna, but it does
kind of
suck.
You do actually have to kind of move it around, but it gets glitchy.
Oh, it's on.
I'm sorry.
What?
I didn't mean to put it on the, we'll talk about that later.
Yeah.
Later.
We'll talk about that shit later.
Anyway.
Yeah.
So we're talking Christmas gifts.
So you feel like you have everything you want.
Yeah.
But would it be good gifts for people?
Yeah.
So like a lot of these people don't have good relationships.
I'll steal a recommendation.
And it's a recommendation from whichever one was the pedophile guy on Mythbusters.
Okay.
Who recommended a, uh, uh, uh, uh, an optical center punch.
What is that?
It's like a bomb site center punch.
What is a center punch?
A center punch is like if you need to put a drill hole in something beforehand,
you use
a center punch so that the bit centers.
Oh, so it has like a laser that goes on the wall.
There's no laser.
It's a little, it's like a little bomb site you look through.
Oh.
Um.
And it makes a mark on the wall?
It does not make a mark on the wall.
No.
Instead of just using your eye and hitting a center punch, it's got a, like a,
a little
glass tube that you can look through and then it magnifies the area underneath
the cup.
And then once it's centered, you pull the glass out, put the center punch in
and then you
hit it.
So that's my recommendation also.
So it's just, but that's just passed on from the, um, the myth buster.
Was that one of the things you predicted correctly?
What?
That it was a, that they were pedophiles?
I don't know if I predicted that.
You don't think you did?
Let me see.
Myth buster.
Jamie.
Is that his name?
No.
Was it Jamie or Adam?
Adam is a.
Couldn't have been Adam.
The guy's got a really awesome name.
Adam.
Which one is pedophile?
Which one?
Is pedophile.
And he, so, he gave this recommendation after he caught the case or this is
something he's
been recommending for a while?
I'm pretty confused about what you're saying.
Mm-hmm.
Uh-huh.
The, oh, the myth busters, I guess, didn't like each other.
Oh, really?
Mm-hmm.
Which one is pedophile?
Um, you can't, I can't find, there's no, the information is not, I think it's
the Adam
one.
Uh, Adam suggested, our Adam, uh, Ginsburg, he suggested that, um, uh, an
answer to our,
uh, to our problem with our brain, uh, to how, how we've lost our sharpness, or
intellectually.
Mythbusters star explains how the co-host survived 14 seasons without getting
along.
We're not friends.
He said that after the other guy was a pedophile?
I don't know which one is a pedophile.
I've told you that multiple times.
I thought you Googled which one is a pedophile.
And it did not give me an answer.
Really?
So maybe neither of them are, and we're, we're kind of making some claims that
are unfair.
It's called, uh, optical center punch.
I don't know what else to tell you.
Which one recommended it?
I don't know, but as you notice, the, the show's logo is presented to you on
this beautiful,
uh, graphite colored sea salt frame.
Yes, that is correct.
That is correct.
This nice texture to it that I, there's like a tactile thing I'm getting out of
this.
Yeah.
I'll touch it.
You tell people what it is.
No, it is nice.
It has like a, while I'm touching it, you can tell people what it is.
What is that?
Oh, look.
Look at this.
All right, folks.
So today's episode is, we were talking about holiday gifts.
The holidays are coming around, uh, and it's all about connecting with loved
ones.
There's no better way to do that with, than with a digital picture frame from Aura
Frames.
Wirecutter called it the best digital frame.
And this is one of the ones they got right.
And it's easy to see why.
You can upload your favorite pics of the family to one frame, relive all those
happy moments,
or share big news, like the addition of, uh, like a new addition of the family,
perhaps?
Nick, wouldn't it, that, that could be a good idea.
You
