Tina calls in and says she just no longer wants to have sex with her husband. Drew asks her if she has desires for other men (he’s trying to determine whether it’s her libido in general or if it’s just something about her husband that’s causing this).
Tina: “Well, you know, for like completely unobtainable guys like rock stars and people you could never possibly encounter.” (she seems defensive like she’s trying to sound like she would never cheat on the husband)
Drew: “Tina, that’s not what I’m getting at, what I’m asking is if you have sexual desire.”
Adam: “Ah, for mythical figures like Zeus and Hercules maybe, but..”
Drew: “And Bambi.”
Adam: “…..Bambi?”
Adam does a little radio weight math with a gothic girl about 50 min into the show. She shocks him with her weight because she is actually not fat. Truly shocked Aceman’s radio math was wrong.
Adam’s reason for still being Rams fan and comparing it to Anderson’s Pittsburgh fandom is flawed, Adam: The Rams moved away from you, they’re not your team, no duh people look at you like you’re weird. If you move away from your own team (like Anderson), it’s ok, but “if your professional franchise picks up stakes and moves to another city, as a normal person of Earth, you must cease being a fan.” Genesis 3:16
Agreed BMacC, Adam’s argument is flawed. I agree with him that it’s annoying to have to listen to all the fans from other places celebrate when their teams are doing well, but it doesn’t actually diminish their fanhood that they don’t live there anymore.
And if you really boil it all down and had to say who really has more of a reason to root for a team, Adam would lose that argument. When you root for your hometown team, it’s because they represent your city and they’re a part of all the experiences you had there. I’m from Tampa and am a Buccaneers fan. It’s not because I like pirates. If they left I would still root for them for a couple years, but after all the players who were on the team when they were still in Tampa retired, I’d have less and less reason to root for them, until I had none at all. I’m not sure how Adam can still work up legitimate excitement for a team that ditched town and in no way shape or form resembles the team he used to root for. If LA gets a team, and it looks like that’s happening very soon, he’ll have much more reason to root for them than the St. Louis Rams.
Amanda, 17, calls with a Germany or Florida about a man who steals women’s panties from peoples’ clotheslines in his neighborhood. He got caught after a woman had her husband install a motion detector that triggers a camera. Adam is intrigued by the juxtaposition between the low tech clothesline and the high tech motion detector-activated camera monitoring it.
