The Big Bad Broadcast EP 185 -- Adam Ace

Here we go, let's stop now and take time to smell the flowers. All the flowers, so many flowers sparked by my previous mention of songs about flowers. John, ever the contrarian, expresses his disdain for flowers, leading to a comedic back-and-forth where I list numerous songs that celebrate them. This leads to a deeper discussion about our experiences in high school, the awkwardness of dating, and the unrealistic expectations set by Hollywood movies like "The Karate Kid." Adam shares his recent experiences as a surf instructor, detailing how quickly his students are picking up the sport, which leads to a humorous exchange about the dangers of surfing and the presence of sharks. We also touch on the absurdity of competitive eating, particularly the Nathan's hot dog eating contest, and how it compares to our careers in comedy. The episode takes a turn when Adam reveals his dating misadventures, including a blind date with an attempted murderer and the awkwardness of being set up by friends. We discuss the challenges of modern dating, the pressure of first impressions, and the sometimes bizarre expectations people have. Throughout the episode, we maintain a light-hearted tone, filled with laughter and camaraderie, as we navigate through topics of love, loss, and the absurdities of life. Join us for a fun-filled hour of comedy, storytelling, and a few unexpected twists! Thank you as always for listening to The Big Bad Broadcast.
