Adam kicks off the show by reminiscing about his co-starring role in Wreck-It Ralph and the surprising reaction it still gets from fans. He then unveils yet another classic Al Pacino scene, this time with Jay Mohr putting his own spin on the character—proving once again that Pacino impressions never get old. From there, Adam riffs on coaster weight, the gnarly side effects of Niacin, Biden’s cancer diagnosis, the sheer brilliance of pit crews, and the fine line between first and last place—not just in racing, but in life.

Next, Jay Chandrasekhar joins the show and dives into:

  • The universal boyhood obsession with foot speed (because being the fastest kid on the playground is basically royalty).
  • His journey through comedy as an Indian kid in grade school, dealing with stereotypes and British influence over India.
  • The decision to cast himself in movies and TV shows instead of waiting for Hollywood (considering the only Indian "stars" he saw were Fisher Stevens and Peter Sellers in brownface).
  • The hilariously awkward story of wearing his wife’s underpants (sometimes you just gotta improvise).
  • Why comedy films should be communal experiences—because laughing alone just isn’t the same.

Jay and Adam also break down the realities of directing low-budget movies vs. TV shows, and Jay introduces his new app, VouchVault, which he swears will revolutionize review sites and help him finally get revenge on Rotten Tomatoes. They wrap up their chat by agreeing that seeing Phish live is overrated, and Jay shares his comedic influences: John Landis, Eddie Murphy, and Richard Pryor. Naturally, both Jay and Adam declare Spinal Tap the greatest comedy of all time.

Jason "Mayhem" Miller joins the show and kicks off the news with a must-see clip of Adam singing "Big Bottoms" with John Popper. From there, the trio dives into the top stories of the day, including:

  • Joe Biden's cancer diagnosis.
  • NYC's most notorious repeat offender—a guy who’s been caught 134 times for stealing and still hasn’t stopped.
  • And finally, the mind-blowing possibility of science turning lead into gold.

Get it on!
