stressed i guess
yeah there's a lot going on um yeah you know you get hit with these periods in
your life where you
got to just uh everything's trying to tear you down and you got to just uh i'm
very haters no not

hit my limit with
drinking in may thank god and then i got i got my apartment cleaned up and i've
got i'm back in the
gym somewhat regularly because i don't know if i would have had the uh wherewithal
to if i was only
if let's say i only had a week sober and then i had the stuff to deal with yes
exactly um but no i'm
good i'm just sort of escaping mentally into uh ancient babylon uh-huh what's
going on with that
oh uh no this is still this is something else this is um uh oral history of the
garfield comic strip
oh yeah was there like uh any anything unexpected those guys would party yeah
they used to party you
think old snl was crazy and when i say those guys i just mean um jim davis by
himself he did with the
characters in his head he would sit around his apartment doing cocaine all day
long being like
john you son of a bitch arbuckle arbuckle he'd put a lamp shape on his head a
lamp shade on his head
while he's a lamp shape i'm having a stroke he actually he came up with the
term party for one
but it was just when he was in his apartment yeah party for one and then he
would shit himself and go
make that too
say hello to my little friend that's what i say every time i shit myself yeah
say hello to my little
friend did you shit yourself and i'm like yes two tickets to barbie please one
for me and one for
my turd oh congratulations barbie biggest opening weekend sitting in the movie
theater somebody comes
in it's packed they're like is that seat available i'm like i'm sorry but my
turd is sitting here
he's my best friend can you move can you not have oh what so i can't buy a
ticket for
a piece of feces that came out of my body i have a ticket for the turd he's not
going to talk
yeah and he didn't bring in outside food ma'am just i know what's in that bag
yeah
i'm gonna start swallowing googly eyes and see if i get any funny characters to
come about in the toilet
the next week let's see what the cast and crew are up to this week in the old
yeah my shit's like a sitcom oh yeah yeah yeah we got kramer oh here comes george
george george you're crazy oh it's a big boy it must be newman yeah yeah um
yeah so that's what's
going on special delivery yeah yeah yeah um no just a lot of tedious that pulls
us away a lot of awful
bullshit also guys if you listen it pulls me away from from doing the work that
we want to do which
is the adam friedland show correct um there's a couple of things to plug we
have a big interview
tomorrow and then that'll be four now in the can yes yeah four four interviews
in the can and then
tomorrow is a
yeah sort of legend yeah definitely it's definitely the coolest it's the
coolest get but uh we need
you'll see it in six to 12 months we need yeah special delivery we need to do a
leap on the show
and we need to navigate these issues of hiring people while uh these strikes
are going on yeah but
um but also if you listen to the podcast on spotify i just want to clarify that
it is an
issue with our new hosting service oh yeah that's gonna be cleared up we're not
we haven't been taken down
we haven't been shadow banned as you've noticed probably there are
significantly less advertisements
on the adam friedland show than there were on come town and the reason for that
is
we used to pre-record come town in the winter right yeah we would take those
weeks off and then i would
spend those weeks negotiating with advertisers for the entire year and fill out
the whole schedule
but we were running on this so i i put it off and said i'll get it started in
the beginning of the year
and um then it got started in the beginning of the year but certain this ad
spend is down for this
year anyway so they're wanting to see like numbers and i don't want to get into
the business because
previously we were telling advertisers insane no come town towards the end was
getting about a
quarter million downloads yeah but uh uh this show the combined i mean you can
see you can see what
the youtube numbers are double that and that's half the people listen on the
audio and but anyways point
is is we had to switch podcast hosts we were leaving blueberry who was very
they were helpful that was
probably very good shout out to mike at blueberry who is also the the voice of
their um he's like so they
have you call in you know you get like an automated prompt it's that guy's
voice it's just him
so it's like it's like if you need uh technical support press one for customer
service press two
and then i i think no matter what number you press it's like hey this is mike
just kidding it's a one man there's another guy dave i've talked to once or
twice but i've had to call
for different issues i called for billing and technical stuff and almost every
time it's always
just that you go through a prompt that's his voice and then you select the
number and then he goes hey
this is mike you're just kidding it's like when kramer has the movie phone yeah
yeah but they were they
were good to us but we have switched to audio boom and in migrating over to
audio boom uh i guess there
was something on blueberry's back end you just press one button to push the
podcast to shout out to mike
or whatever yeah that's how that works it's very simple but with audio boom i
guess i have to do it
manually but i don't have any i don't have an account with spotify or any way
to log in or do any of that
so this will be rectified surely do not worry uh rena sawagama has not taken
this off that's the thing
that's old news um but uh um a couple other things yes i mean so yeah also ad
spend is down
across the board i mean everybody's expecting a recession which from what i've
read may be averted
at this point thanks joe thank you sleepy thank you bidenomics thank you sleepy
mm-hmm uh washington
is really bad at puns so is the media surrounding you there's been a wild
disrespect for puns since
i think since mansplaining started which i want to get into that in a second oh
let's let's go is the
last decade coming full circle which is the biggest story this week but um the
lizzo thing and but the the
the uh yes yes yeah what was i talking about oh yeah no uh hopefully as ben
picks up later but until
then the adam friedland show um we're very excited to be in this position where
we can um make a talk
show which is very cool but it is still entirely funded by viewers like you yes
if you subscribe to
the patreon you get an additional podcast episode once a week which we are
hopefully going to be better
at um which onwards and upwards it's a weird thing because it's like you know
as for doing anything
because it like to do like the podcast like riff it requires you know like oh
this is fun right and so
initially it was like oh well let's start doing it at 9 30. that way we get it
out of the way and
initially it was like yeah now it's like it's not hanging over our heads it's
exciting so the first
couple those are fun then it becomes like i gotta be like now we have to do it
at 9 30. yeah and then
it's like well now it's a now it's an obligation and you got to just keep
moving it throughout the day
so i think we've decided to come back to our original plan of doing the podcast
whenever
but doing it in such a deliberate way as to maximize the returns on uh our
ability to actually
perform yeah um so yeah if you check it out you get an extra podcast episode if
you subscribe at the
associate producer or producer level we'll put your name in the credits on the
finished episodes and if
you've seen the cuomo episode the jadekiss episode this is a real television
show now and we got bigger
things coming and this will go down in history people say look what they did
yes they they could
they did jack parr by themselves yeah and your name will be on there those plucky
young lads unless you
put like a slur in there i think we're going to start asking are there a lot of
slurs in there
