BEST NEWS GIRL YOU EVER HAD! Miss the old days 🤝

Orny, it was a brotherly kiss of joy. See the famous picture of sailor kissing a nurse (they didn't know each other) in times square, WWII victory. OMG, dude

[@phyllistartaglia5772]

What a great comparison fabulous picture, and when they did investigation, they found that they did not know each other at all. It was just a random kiss of joy because the war ended. And that's exactly what it was. Totally innocent, happy moment ruin once again by angry haters..

[@Valkonnen]

A guy who THINKS he is Funny and is let lose like this IS Intolerable. Regular Guys like Adam who step in shit and become famous, surround themselves with losers. How about the "Announcer" who sounds like a guy Imitating a deep typical announcer voice. You learn a lot about people by who they choose to surround themselves with . Gina Grad was another one who was annoying with her terrible imitations and singing.

[@patrickblakethesaint]

@jimcraig8566 too true. If it had been Burr there instead of Orney (who's too nice) Adam would have been begging for forgiveness.

I can’t figure out if orney is playing a bit or not.

[@doomguy5406]

Orny, by his own admission, is terrified of being cancelled for saying something wrong, so he's just going over the top with the wokeness. Whether he truly believes this stuff, or he's just being argumentative to mess with Adam, I dont know. I doubt he's gonna get invited back as often now though lol

Just hand Orny the Ace Award for most awkward moment right now; no one will ever top his unrelenting cringe in this EP. If you notice around 1:39 after Orny calls the guest white there's a cut in the video. Wtf happened lackeys?!? I wanna see!

[@hinkhall5291]

I don't think there will be an Ace Awards show this year. He's got a skeleton crew. This podcast is on life support. Somehow I doubt that even Bald Bryan would choose to make a guest appearance for the award show.

[@maxbedo9645]

review every kiss on Family Feud ...or worse when Apollo kisses Paulie in Rocky 3

[@h.davidburstein3578]

Adam is right about the Left. It is the extension of schadenfreude which is the joy in witnessing the failure of others. But if it isn’t controlled it leads to sadism which is the joy in causing the failure or humiliation of others. But getting meaning from this is terrible as it is a lot easier to tear down than build up. A lot of this is based on envy and I would bet that so much of it can be traced back to a displacement of unresolved issues from childhood. Adam, you are a treasure and a life saver.

[@ChewieEst]

It’s funny, while Adam was talking about Love Boat episode, I thought about the movie Bachelor Party, and where the woman pees standing up. What’s ironic is that is a Tom Hanks movie, and I would love to watch it to see if they remove that part of the story out!! 😂

at 1:33:00 Adam is absolutely correct and that was a long time ago. that racist anti-white stuff really happened in the 90s (maybe even late 80s) and I remember an uncle, very much same story, honest, hardworking, physically fit, went to apply for a prison guard job. It actually did say something like "equal opportunity employer: preference will be given to females and people of a visible minority". See the technicality is "preference" so it's not explicitly and directly 'no white males' however.. uncle got the exact same retort from the hiring guy "you can apply but you can forget it too". In other words, legally we take it but realistically we are not hiring a white guy. I'm amazed Orny Adams doesn't know about that?
