Andy Kaufman tribute with multiple callers and jokes

Okay. You know what, Mr. Lawler? I've heard all these things you've been saying about me on television. You want to wrestle me? You want to wrestle me, my infastyle? All right, fine. I'm not afraid of you, Mr. Lawler, because let me tell you something. True, I only wrestle women. But I've wrestled women that are a lot bigger and stronger than you. Matter of fact, they're probably smarter than you because you don't have any brains. You're from Memphis, Tennessee. All you do is plow the fields and farm and farm. Is that how you talk, Mr. Lawler? See, Mr. Lawler, you don't have any brains. I'm from Hollywood. I have the brains. That's how I win my matches. I say the bigger they come, the harder they fall. You might be twice as big as me, but I've wrestled women that are twice as big as me, and I've mopped the floor with them. And that's what I'm going to do with you, Mr. Lawler. You challenged me to a wrestling match. I think you bit off a little more than you can chew. I'm going to wipe the floor with you, Mr. Lawler. I'll give you a little sample. This is what's going to happen when you and I wrestle each other in Memphis. Come here. What's your name? Susan. How tall are you, Susan? Six foot. And how much do you weigh? 327. 327 pounds. That's a lot more than you weigh, Lawler. Okay? Watch this. Let's go. Come on, baby! That's what's just going to happen to you, Lawler! See? Come on, baby! Come on! Andy, I think you really hurt her. Doesn't matter. She doesn't have any money. She's poor. She can't see. She's not going to sue me. See, I can do anything I want! Turn the camera off. Come on! Shut this camera off! Come on, baby! Wrestle! I'm not a comic. I've never told a joke. The comedian's promise is that he will go out there and make you laugh with him. My only promise is that I will try to entertain you as best as I can. I can manipulate people's reactions. There are different kinds of laughter. Gut laughter is where you don't have a choice. You've got to laugh. You've got to laugh. Gut laughter doesn't come from intellect. And it's much harder for me to invoke now because I'm knowing. They say, oh, wow, Andy Kaufman. He's a real funny guy. But I'm not trying to be funny. I just want to play with their heads. Andy Kaufman. Boys and girls, welcome to the Adam O Podcast. Yes, tonight's episode is all about one of my heroes. The legendary. The gifted. Andy Kaufman. If you're listening to the show, we're at skidrowstudios.com. We're live. Please call in. And let me hear your thoughts about Andy Kaufman. That's 800-893-9562. 800-893-9562. I want to share with you folks a little bit about my experience in the comedy arena here in Los Angeles. Listen. How comedy has changed in my short-lived career as a comedian. I started off doing little birds and giggles and chipmunks for kids. And at chipmunks for kids, I noticed there was a lot of comedians and a lot of chaos and a lot of anger. And then that anger provoked me. It provoked me to be mysterious and not be mysterious because I'm trying to be mysterious and act. Or I don't know where I'm going to go in the next five years of my career. Or I talk too much. Or the comedian that knows it all who's done that. Hey, I've done that. I've been there. I've been doing this for 16 years. First kid, what do you want? Stage time? No, mister. I just want to get good and I want to learn. It's a negative game out there, folks. The comedy arena. And when I was doing comedy in the first three years at Little Birds, chip chips for laughs. Well, all I wanted to do was learn from the veterans. The veterans didn't pay attention to me. So I found a young man. A young man who passed away long before I even knew the word comedy. An overused word for rugrats who struggle. And life. Well, I think that's the way I view it sometimes when I'm feeling low. When I'm feeling high, it could be the best thing in the world, comedy. It could bring out a spirit that you never thought you had. But a lot of comedians use that word comedy and they join packs. They join circles, rap groups. And they don't realize the power that they're holding. The power that could heal. The power that could share. So what I'm trying to say is I found a young man by the name of Andy. And I kind of became the Jesus in my life. I come from a weird family. My father is an entertainer. On the cusp of reality and psychopathiosis. My mother is a school teacher. Who later in her life adapted the ability to become an artist. My sister is quiet but brilliant. My brother smokes a ton of pot. I lived growing up growing up growing up growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing growing the loving of this guy. And I'm not trying to preach. I'm not trying to do anything. I'm trying to just share my experience and how it all came about. I used to drag my first show ever. I have a call. Hold on one second. Getting a call. Hello, Daddy-O. This is Adam Moe, how may I direct your call? Hi, this is Chef Kazooie. Chef Kazooie, how are you? Boys and girls, it's Chef Kazooie. I miss you so much. I'm at the North Pole. I cannot visit you guys today. Ah, Chef Kazooie, we're all a little depressed over here right now. I'm talking about Andy Kaufman. Do you know who he is? Yes, yes. What's your stories on Andy Kaufman? Wonderful guy. I guess I made a cereal for Andy Kaufman before. He liked it. All right. Tell me, have you ever worked with Andy Kaufman? You're 100 years old. No, I don't think so. Well, but you know, everybody's famous in Hollywood anyway. Really? Yeah, I was telling the boys and girls the first show I ever did, Chef Kazooie, bong, bong, bong. Chef Kazooie, bong, bong, bong. Bong, bong, bong. First show I ever did, I used to drag a TV around the stage, Flappers for Birds. It was a little club here in Los Angeles. I don't really remember the real name, and I used to drag that TV back and forth 100 times until the cord broke, and then I used to chop onions on top of it and sing the Star Spangled Banner. It didn't get me anywhere. What? What was your first performance, Chef Kazooie? I have no idea, but I just stopped by to say hi to you all. That's very sweet, Chef Kazooie. Why don't you come by sometime? Yeah, it's raining tonight, but maybe next time. Yes, absolutely. Okay. So, just say hi. Thank you, Chef Kazooie. Hey, boys and girls, that's Chef Kazooie. Thank you. I'll talk to you soon. Thank you. All right. Yeah, he's hopped up on cereal. Hey, so anyways, I started doing the act year after year, and I've just done a lot of dive bars and followed in the footsteps of comedians like Neil Hamburger, and I've always been compared to Andy Kaufman. Compared in the similarities of, you know, performance artists. People don't really know what to say, except that you're kind of like Andy Kaufman. Kind of love that, because I kind of look up to Andy Kaufman. It took me a while to accept that, because everybody has a hero, and then when you accept it, it becomes quiet. So I accepted it, and I really like to model myself after a great. So, boys and girls, we'll be right back. after this Andy Kaufman tribute. I trust you, I trust you, I trust you, I trust you I trust you, I trust you, I trust you, I trust you I trust you, I trust you, I trust you, I trust you I trust you, I trust you, I trust you, I trust you I trust you, I trust you, I trust you, I trust you I trust you, I trust you, I trust you, I trust you I trust you, I trust you, I trust you I trust you, I trust you, I trust you I trust you, I trust you, I trust you I trust you, I trust you, I trust you I trust you I trust you I trust you I trust you I trust you I trust you I trust you I trust you I trust you I trust you I trust you I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you, I trust in you I trusted you, I trusted you, I trusted you, I trusted you, I trusted you, I trusted Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah I trusted you, I trusted you, I trusted you, I trusted you, I trusted you, I trusted you, I trusted you I trusted you, I trusted you, I trusted you, I trusted you, I trusted you, I trusted you, I trusted you, I trusted you, I trusted you I'm just a girl. I'm just a girl. That was Andy Kaufman and I trust you. What a nut. Oh boy, Millie Cowan, give it shoes. Yeah, see, that's what I'm talking about. Andy Kaufman, the guy who would just keep going on and push your buttons with a song called I Trust You, which is why I'm inspired. It's because it's reality. It's raw. It's real. And he probably wrote that five minutes before he came on stage, like a mantra when he practices his transcendental meditation. The guy was just absolutely out of his mind. And they do an Andy Kaufman award every year. It takes place in New York City. I submitted a video this year, and I got on to their Hall of Fame video selection. I didn't get to actually perform it. However, I'd rather do the video. It's always consistent. Speaking of the Andy Kaufman award, you know, I could be disappointed or I could accept the fact that I didn't get to be a member. I cry a lot here at the Adamo podcast, if you haven't noticed. However, they select 15 finalists and actually 15 semi-finalists every year. Yeah. Andy Kaufman award. And they take the top six, and the winner gets like a thousand bucks and gets to meet Andy Kaufman's dad. But I've been thinking a lot, and I don't really think the real Andy Kaufman would even have accepted his own award. I feel that there's way more to somebody like Andy Kaufman than an award, which is why I created the first Pee Wee Herman award when I first got rejected first year. And the first Pee Wee Herman award was going on simultaneously to the Andy Kaufman award. And I didn't qualify for my own award either. However, the first place winner at the time was Josh Fadum, wonderful comedian on the TV show, 30 Rock. He won the first ever Pee Wee Herman award simultaneously to the Kaufman award at the All-Star Wings Bowling Alley in Eagle Rock during a show called Shank Flow. And I'm getting a little, getting a little, a couple messages now. A couple messages are coming in. However, I'm not sure what they want to talk about. But this message right now is coming in from a, coming in looks like from a, hold on folks, seems to be Andy Kaufman's spirit. So if you're an Andy Kaufman fan, please call the show. This is where you get to share your thoughts. On how Andy Kaufman would be doing today. 800-893-9562. Thought I had a lot more to say about Andy Kaufman. Sometimes, sometimes you just got to move on in life. Find your own voice, which is why I'm, why I'm here. I'm finding my own voice. Andy Kaufman started a show called Uncle Andy's Fun House. It was originally designed as a pilot for ABC, ABC denied the show. It said that it was too risque and that it wasn't educational enough for children. So they just cut the, cut the plug on him. His lifelong dream was to have a children's show, children's show for adults. Paul Rubens, AKA Pee Wee Herman called Andy Kaufman about a year before he passed away. He said, I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. I'm going to do this. And asked Andy if it's okay, if he could go on and do a show called Pee Wee's Playhouse, inspired off of Uncle Andy's Fun House. Andy said, of course, sure. Why not? And then, oh, we're getting a call. Hey, this is Adam Moe. Daddy-O, how may I direct your call? Um, well, you can direct it right in your, right in your ear. Is this who I think you are? I think it is. Is it who you want it to be? Is it Ben Kronberg? Uh-huh. Boys and girls, it's Ben Kronberg, one of the most terrific talents out there. Living in New York City now, Ben. I'm living in New York City. Miss you, man. We miss you here in Los Angeles. Miss you. I'll be there soon. I've been meaning to contact you, and I suppose this is as good of a time to tell you as any. Well, it's an honor to have you here. It's crazy how we get the top talents when I least expect it, and I show up to the studio, all alone, ranting about a guy that passed away 35 years ago by the name of Andy Kaufman. Andy Kaufman? Yeah, share your stories. Did he ever inspire you, Ben? Well, you know, you know, I think the myth of Andy Kaufman, not, not the, the, the, not in a bad way myth, but like, you know, I didn't necessarily grow up experiencing Andy Kaufman, but, but once I learned who he was, I was really intrigued at his methods, and I think it really kind of excited me because it was like an anti, you know, scenario. He wasn't, he wasn't giving the kids candy like they wanted. That's so great to hear your voice, Ben. It's been a while. Yeah. So, yeah. So Brooklyn, tell me about Brooklyn. Are you, what's going on? Are you touring these days, or? Um, I'm, well, I'm currently in Boston. You're in Boston. I'm doing a bunch of, I'm mostly doing colleges these days because the club circuit won't have me, and, and I just found where my opportunities are, are in the colleges, so I, so I go with that flow, and colleges are weird because they're really cool, and the idea of them is cool, but they're sometimes like the weirdest audiences you've ever performed for. They like look at you like, like your Andy Kaufman. Nice. So, what are you, what kind of jokes are you working on these days or performances? I see that, I saw a video where you were playing a guitar. It was pretty cool. I like the video a lot. There's some cool music going on there. What was that? I don't know. I don't know. I think it might have been in Minnesota. Oh, okay. Oh, is that, yeah, there's, oh, was it, was it Freaky Deaky stuff? Perhaps, yeah. I want to hear some of that Freaky Deaky stuff while I have you here. Freaky Deaky, Freaky Deaky, this is fun. Yeah, I, I'm where, I, I, I, when I moved to New York, I was really, really stuck in puns, you know, so like all the mics I would go up to, I would mostly be doing puns and trying to crack the code because like a lot of times you give a pun and, and people like, ooh, it, or like, oh, we get it, you know, like, like you telegraphed them a joke or something, but, I don't know, but puns and other things, I, I have some rap songs I've been working on too. Um, I have about, I have about 10 rap songs unfinished. They're unwrapped, unfinished, and I'm waiting to, I'm waiting to seal all their deals. Are you making any appearances on any talk shows coming up? Oh, you know, you know, I haven't, I haven't really showcased or sent my tape. I, I, I started the dialogue with, with Conan, people, and I, uh, I, then I got feedback, like, these are the jokes we like, these are the jokes we don't like, and then I'm, just been waiting to make another tape, and then I see 10, 10 people by that, that time have already been on the show, and then, you know, some people seem to like wrap around like they've been on, and then they get to go on again, you know, like they're kind of in the, in the thing. Yeah, but, no, I mean, do you, do you look back and, do you tell people now in New York, I mean, about like your experience on the, the Jimmy Kimmel show, or is that like past due, you know? Well, I don't necessarily, I don't bring it up, some, you know, people know, cause they always wanna have some sort of credit, so they'll do some research, and comedians who, like haven't, haven't had TV spots, are definitely more curious about how it is, like, um, cause they wanna know, but, you know, it's not necessarily something that I bring up, and then, cause it, you know, I don't, I mean, I don't mind, I don't mind people knowing, but it's not something that I'm like, but, but I will, I will mention it, like, if I'm trying to get on a show that's kind of hard to get on, I'll mention it, but it doesn't always, you know, it takes a lot to impress people these days, so, it's like, it doesn't matter what you've done, there's always, there's always way more people that have done, you know, there's always a ton of people that have done, way more things, or cooler things, and it's like, you know, my friend kind of told me, you know, keep your eyes on your own paper, sort of thing, cause it's really easy to like, look at other people, other people's successes or opportunities, and what's happening with them, and get, get in this sort of envy zone, where you're like, what the fuck, am I not doing that, but then it's just like, you know, everybody has their own, everybody has their own unique metaphysical, yeah, no, definitely, I'm getting, I mean, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm more inspired now by Bill Hicks, than I, than I am about Andy Kaufman, Ben, I'm getting another call, can you hang tight for a second please, thank you man, hey Adam, how may I direct your call, daddy-o, hi, hey, who's this, Jenny, Jenny Weber, yeah, hey Jenny, how are you, it's Adam-o, hey, what's up, not much, I have the legendary Ben Cromberg on the other line, do you want to share your stories about Andy Kaufman, I'm getting tired of him, so, as, as the show goes on, so, make it quick, I'm moving into territories that are, untouched, such as Bill Hicks, huh, I just, Andy Kaufman, can't hear you, what, yeah, Andy Kaufman, he rules, I don't really talk about him, I just called him to say hi, yeah, all right, well, we're more concerned about people who have things to say, however, do you know, do you know who Andy Kaufman is, oh, Ben, Jenny, how are you, Jenny, Ben, hi, Jenny, huh, Jenny, do you, do you hear Ben, I can hear Jenny, can Jenny hear me, all right, well, listen, you're, Jenny, you're one of, you're, you're a great fan, do you, it's a little confusing, hey, Jenny, yeah, now, what, who, if you, if you were to, if you were to pinpoint the next, uh, the next Andy Kaufman, who would it be, you, that's not true, Jenny, I'm, I'm not Andy Kaufman, I'm Adam Lowe, yeah, you are, okay, Ben, are you there, yeah, I don't agree with what Jenny's saying, well, you know, I don't think Andy Kaufman would agree with, with, with anybody, with anybody trying to pigeonhole him into another Andy Kaufman that came before him, and so I think that's exactly, you're, you're, you're reacting exactly to Andy Kaufman, what, you're, what you're doing right now, Adam Lowe, is you're, is you're, is you're bringing up Andy Kaufman, but then saying you don't want to talk about him, I think Andy Kaufman would do that exact same thing, I don't think Andy Kaufman, Andy Kaufman's dead because Andy Kaufman didn't want to be Andy Kaufman anymore. Yeah, but I'm just tired of the whole little, like, gadgets and gizmos of what getting into people's heads, I just want to be Bill Hicks, speak about the world, the politics, the dirt on the street, you know, I want to go outside, I want to say, fuck you, fuck, it's a kid's show, I'm, excuse me, Ben, I just want to, just want to speak my mind, I don't want to be taken such, I don't want to be taken at this level, I am going to probably get kicked off the air for saying that, I'm on iTunes, under the explicit category in the kids station, Jenny, are you there? Yeah, I'm still here. All right, Ben, so tell me a couple jokes, tell Jenny and I, probably the only listeners we have right now, a couple of jokes that you're working on, if you don't mind, that'd be terrific. Not at all, not at all, well, the thing is, a lot of, a lot of my jokes, a lot of my jokes end up, right, shuttled right to Twitter, but there are definitely some that I'm like, I'm not going to tweet that, I'm going to take that to the, to the stage. You're going to take it to the streets, of Brooklyn. I want to do, I'm curious, I've never, I've never worked here, no. Boys and girls, if you're listening to this right now, this is Ben Kronberg, he's our special guest tonight, B-E-N-K-R-O-N-B-E-R-G, Twitter him, Ben, what's your joke? Twitter? It's, it's Twitter slash, or it's just at, I don't know, whatever, Ben Kronberg, B-E-N-K-R-O-N-B-E-R-G. And take it away, Ben, you have exactly three minutes to make us laugh, funny boy. Okay, um, alright, okay. How about, how about, how about instead of save, instead of the date, I save the invite. Saves more money and shame when the marriage doesn't take. Jenny, are you laughing? How about, instead of, um, okay, um, whenever I see an old Asian lady on the train, I wonder myself, I wonder to myself, did she used to be a massage therapist? That's funny, I like that. Um, um, every time a bush lesbian kisses her lipstick counterpart in front of me, I know she feels the hot hetero rocket between my legs waiting for her to fumble so I can pick up the ball and score a point for manhood. Fuck you, dykes. Oh, Andy Coffin would be turning in his grave right now, Ben, I'm telling you. Um, oh yeah, uh, uh, oh, Jenny, you were supposed to hang up a long time ago. I have no idea why you're still there. Just making it more of an echo on the show. That's Jenny Weber. I love you, Jenny. Thanks for calling in. Um, I'll get to my raunchy material in a minute. Ben, keep it going. Sorry to go, I didn't mean to, and I didn't mean to, go raunchy, I went raunchy right after you said it. No, the sound got better once you dropped the call. Um, okay. Ben, hold on one second, I'm getting a Scott calling. Uh, Scott, hey, it's Adam O, daddy-o, how may I direct your call? Yeah, what the hell, dude? Who is, who is this? Scott. Scott. It's me.

I'm fed up with the system and the Andy Kaufman wannabes that are all over the place that are gonna creep me out. I'm sick of it. I wear a suit now. Hey, go for it, Scott. I don't know. I'm not fed up with anybody. I'm just saying, like, like, when I call someone an alt-fag, like, there's, there's club, there's club fags, too. I don't mean fag, like, homosexual way. Like, I mean, like, you know, like, they're just lame. I know what you mean. All right, give us your, give us a top joke, Scott. A good joke? A real good joke right now.

All right, we have two more jokes left before I have to move on with the program and then we'll be off the air. Ben? I feel simultaneously welcomed and pressured, but I kind of like it. You know, I didn't think I would like to be pressured this much. Um, I prefer Indiana Jones Nazis to Schindler's List Nazis. Also, I think Auschwitz should have been called the Temple of Doom. Yeah, my mom's really going to like that one. All right, that's wonderful. Well, boys and girls, that wraps it up. Call in to see who's the winner of the joke off tonight on the Adamo podcast.

Thank you very much. Yeah, you're welcome. I'm sorry. No, it's all right. We're going to edit this. No one's listening. We'll pretend this never happened. Anyways, we'll be right back. That was Ben Kronberg and Scotty Mouth. We'll be right back after this brief announcement by the clean Andy Kaufman. Here's Andy Kaufman. Here's Andy Kaufman. Here's Andy Kaufman. Here's Andy Kaufman. Here's Andy Kaufman. Here's Andy Kaufman. Here's Andy Kaufman. was turning on my hero. The hero? The hero who made me Jewish? I'm just a comedian, and I just think I'm trying to be funny to stay on the air here at skidrowstudios.com, and sometimes I have to make it edgy. I invite my friends, but I love you, Andy Kaufman. I love you so much, and I never wanted to be like a jerk-off comedian who says the fucking word. Excuse me. I just wanted to be genuine, and I fucked, I slipped up tonight. I'm a kid show host, and if you're listening to this show, I love you, Andy Kaufman, and I just want to make my peace with you that I can move on, and I don't have to... I don't have... Wait, hold on a second. I'm getting a phone call. Excuse me. Hey, Adam O, this is Daddy... Hey, this is Adam O. How may I direct your call, Daddy-O? You almost said, this is Daddy-O. Who is this? Vince? Yeah, this is Vince, man. Don't cry, man. It's all right. You're doing all right, man. It gets frustrating, though, huh? Like, trying to perform, and then, like, you know? Trying to be a fraud. Yeah, it does. I can't take it anymore, Vince. I want to just be like my dad and say nothing but garbage and make it funny. Well, you know what? I kind of like... All right, tell me, Vince. What should I do? I cussed. That's kind of funny. I'm a kid show host. I'm talking to a punk rocker right now, you. And I'm a fucking mess. I mean, I'm not supposed to cuss, Vince. Yeah, I know. But isn't it, I mean... See, but I think it... I think I like this new, like, approach at, like... Because you're trying to do a kid show, and I think we all get it, but I kind of like... Shh, don't say kids anymore. I'm scared. I always... I might have lost my job, and I knew a new peewee would have jinxed me. I didn't masturbate in a theater. However, I'm cussing like a storm. By the way, was that your room teacher? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. What's that? Was that peewee Herman thing true when you pretended to be Adam Shankman? Um, Vince, 100% true. However, however, however, I'm having a hard time tonight, like every episode I do, trying to find the true Adam O, Adam Shankman. And tonight, I slipped. And I apologize to all my fans, Democrats, Republicans, Green Party, Alice Party, whatever party you believe in. And I just want you, Vince, since you're always the one who calls in and says, don't worry, and pats me on the back. And my fans know you from the More Music podcast here at skidrowstudios.com. I like, thank you very much. I like to support you. Cause I like you. Like, I think like, cause like the first time I saw you was when we did the prom night thing, you know, I talked to you on the phone and I'm like, well, this guy sounds kind of weird, you know? And like, you know, I'm like, I'll check it out. You know? And you're like, yeah, you just sounded so enthusiastic about it, you know? And then you check out your stuff, you know, whatever. It's because I've had the comedy, bombity song and stuff. I'm really a fan of yours. Thank you very much. Yeah. So like we, and then we got to play your show and I think it was like the prom night one, wasn't it? It was a prom night show at the Echo Park Film Center. You have a great memory. And then you had, well, I mean, it wasn't that long ago, you know, my brain isn't that fucked up. Adam, you know what I mean? I smoke a lot of weed, but I can, it's not that bad. I still can remember stuff, you know? There's going to be a lot of edits on this. Don't make it sound like I got Alzheimer's or Alzheimer's disease or however you want to say it. No, I think entertainment should be weird. My memory's not that bad. Like I can remember stuff. Exactly. Wasn't that long ago. Vince, I love you. Only about two years ago, man. And I appreciate you calling in and hearing me up two years ago and today in 2012. I appreciate it. I actually got a, uh, uh, where are you going, man? Come on. I like this where you open up and you're like, cause I always want, I don't think I've, I haven't, I don't think I've seen the real, like Adam Shankman. I've always seen like, maybe like a character or partial character, you know? No, no, I, I, I understand. Um, it's, it's not, it's not necessarily my fault. Um, it's probably your fault since you've never came on to my podcast and played some music live here for me. Well, I mean, we can still do that. I love you. Let's make it a date. It wouldn't be that hard to do, you know? That'd be incredible. I love your band. I mean, you haven't invited us to be on your podcast. Vince, you're funny. Ha. Listen, you can come on any, anytime you want. However, your podcast is incredible. The more music podcast. I mean, you came on our podcast. I did. And I remember that girl, Brita. That was fun, right? Yeah. We're doing drugs. Yeah. And, uh, you came on my podcast one time and now you're, now you have your own show. Yeah. Now you're, oh, I'm Adam O and I have my own show. Vince, the more I talk to you, the more I keep slipping and saying words like banged and F words. I'm, come on, man. I'm supposed to be a kid's host here. I got to get, I got to find my way back in 2012 on the Adam O podcast to remain the lovable, jolly Adam O. None of this BS I'm doing. And what got into me, I'll never know. However, fans, the six, the six of you, bullshit. Vince, come on, man. The six of you out there listening, I promise you, I will go back if you give me a second chance to be a kid's host and be the star you thought I was going to be. Adam O. Vince, thank you very much for calling the Adam O podcast. I wanted to get your, also your opinion. Vince, shut up. All right. The opinion on Uncle Chick's nest. Vince, please. Am I talking too much, man? No, you're not talking too much, but you're, you're pulling things out of me and you're making it make me cuss. I want to know. And I just apologize. I have to go. All right. What do you, what do you want to know? I want to know, like, well, I think your family is very interesting, you know? All right. Now I'm really going to start blowing up a storm. Okay. Yeah, sure. Okay. Keep going. Let's talk about my family now. I just apologize to my fans. I'm, I'm starting a clean slate and you, and you keep continuing to push my buttons. What do you want, pal? I know you're playing it up, but I also do sense like there is like real anger and like frustration like behind the whole thing, you know? Well, I want, I want the real guy to like come out and let's, let's sit down and have a talk. Will you do that? Will you come on the More Music Radio pod? Absolutely. I'm asking you in front of thousands of people that are listening right now, live on skidroad.la. Will you come on the More Music Radio pod and I can continue this, you know? And, and, and I, and I, and I know you want to get your show, you know, going and I'm just making you cuss and stuff, but will you do that? Vince, you got a deal, pal. All right, cool, man. But only if I could be the real me. And what I mean by that, none of this Andy Kaufman bullshit. See, there he goes again. Yeah. Andy Kaufman nonsense. I'm going to be the real me. He's, he's, he's a mix between Bill Hicks and Walt Disney. Well, I don't know. Has anybody ever seen the real Adam, Adam Shankman? Explains why I have so many girlfriends, right? There you go, Vince. All right, Adam, you have a good night, man. You're doing a good job. Don't cry, okay? I will not. Boys and girls, thank you, Vince. That's Vince from the More Music pod. Bye. Here, thank you. Bye.
