Host: Adam, Dr. Drew
Listen to theShow
Show Summary:
From the movie Hellboy
Adam "Cause I will repeat myself...." "...oh shut up, we run a horrible risk on this show anytime we let a caller speak for more than one sentence...".
This show is odd, Ron has an unusual but hilarious dry sense of humor, he and Adam seem to be at odds at the beginning of the show, Adam is trying to get the show going and Ron keeps going on and on about his education in a "bizarre" way and mention every school he ever attended and lays in some hackneyed jokes along the way, eventually having to beg for a high hat from Anderson.
Drew is Munsee Indiana and he saw Hellboy with his kids before he left, he tells Adam that is was a tour de force for Ron and he was excellent and that his sons liked it so much they went back and saw it again the next day, Ron gives Drew a hard time for not going to see it with them the 2nd time.
Adam attempts to get roles for him and Drew for the Sequel, the 1st caller of the night says he loved the movie and asks about a sequel, Ron gives an in depth explanation.
Ron "...have you ever hung out with 17yr old boy for a while....I have no help for you Ashley" hahahaha.
Ron starts to really warm up at around 20 minutes into the show.
Caller Tony calling from a board and care really bothers Adam with his attitude, Drew explains he can't control it because of his condition.
Adam can tell the show has had a rocky start and requests that Anderson play the intro bumper in order to do a rare restart of the show.
Caller Theo, of GorF theme song fame, calls in to say how great hellboy was and asks Ron about a wonderful film he did called "City of Lost Children" and Anderson agrees with a clapping drop.
It's revealed that Ron spoke french in the city of lost children, Adam asks Drew to speak a little French to ROn, Anderson then plays Drew singing Opera from his appearance on "Turn Ben Stein On", Ron seems to be really impressed.
Adam "...Screw Theo.", Theo then requests to be a guest on the show, he doesn't reference them helping him with his brother's suicide back in 2001 but he does say they have changed his life.
Adam cuts him off and tells him that he can come out and hang out during the show but he will not be a guest, Theo never ended up ever making it out, he attempted but got stuck due to irregular airport operations via Southwest airlines later in the year.
Adam and Ron discuss the makeup application process for Hellboy, Ron gives a very detailed description of the process.
Caller Ron relays a story of how he was kidnapped by escaped prisoners, Adam is less than impressed by his story and makes him explain it further.

This is an odd, bumpy show. Drew is in Indiana and it’s always awkward when Adam or Drew is traveling and tries to interact with a guest in the studio. Ron has a decent sense of humor, pretty dry, lots of one-liners, but he and Adam don’t have any chemistry. The calls aren’t great, either.
I actually really enjoy the shows that fall apart. It really gets Adam to abuse the callers and the freaks and creeps seem to come out of the woodwork more.
30:49 Adam “restarts” the show
Ron is a hard guy to get a feel of during this show.
Did Theo ever actually visit?
I’ve always loved Ron so I definitely had to weigh in. Ron and Adam have a little bit a clunkiness around the beginning because they both have no experience with each other but oddly enough both Adam and Ron have the same sense of humor in that they both use sarcasm very heavily. They will make bizarre metaphors or declare strange statements but after a few minutes you understand. Overall I liked it
Ron Perlman comes off as a colossal prick.
Tons an odd guest, I couldn’t tell if he was an asshole or if his tone and dry humor was just hard to comprehend. Odd episode
Ron appears to be unfamiliar with the show. He starts off with some schtick but gives up after a while (and barely even talks) when people aren’t laughing at his jokes (Drew lightly chuckles at one point and Ron thanks him). Sort of reminds me of when Jay Mohr was on a few years back, he didn’t get the vibe of the show either.
That said, Theo has a good question for him about City of Lost Children and later in the show Ron asks Drew about artists being less creative when sober.
But agree that he and Adam have no chemistry, but Adam tries and is generally in a good mood this episode.
Anderson messes with a paranoid schizophrenic crack addict.
This is an odd show and is very interesting. Ron has such an interesting vibe and I think he’s very funny here. Adam seems kind of perplexed
