May 17 2008 Adam and Mike Show
The original alternate returns this week, but we’re not happy about it. Nope,
we had no idea how great Kansai
International Wrestling was until after we recorded, so now we feel a
little down. Even so, there is still 80 minutes of audio with topics that
include, but aren’t limited to: the impending end of hockey, getting ZEPP
Smash-ed, solving the world’s problems, NOAH’s intricate
storylines, Stone
Cold Windham Iizuka, the Adam New Phone Phund begins, and more. It’s the
radio show that needs to excuse itself now so we can give some money to Kaiser
Kubota and Jun
Okuhida; It’s the Adam & Mike BIG AUDIO NIGHTMARE~! Proudly here
