**Alison Rosen** (2:01)
I'm excited. Good day, Alison Rosen.

**Dr. Bruce** (2:03)
Hello, Adam Carolla.

**Alison Rosen** (2:04)
Good day, Bob Ryan. Okay. Now the fun began.
Yeah. Dameshek, Shek coming in, going to talk a little sports. Dan O'Brien, the decaf elite, won the gold US in 1996 And that is world's greatest athlete business right there because it really is, it's got the world and athlete in it. You know what I mean? I mean, look, we have the world's greatest athletes and you can probably just assume that whoever wins the NBA championships, the best basketball team, but they'll not playing the world. We're playing us. And every once in a while, Greece will sneak up on you for some weird reason. But not Dan. Dan is the world's greatest athlete. At least he was in 96 So he'll come in here. We'll talk to him.

**Dr. Bruce** (2:53)
It's like Miss Universe versus Miss America.

**Alison Rosen** (2:56)
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Covers more territory. And by the way, it cannot ever really be proven. You know what I mean? I am Miss Universe. It's pretty fucking lofty. Like who sat around and went with that? You know, Miss Continent. No, no, not big enough. Not big enough.
Miss World?
No. Still find it limiting. Still, there could be some fox on some planet somewhere. It could be planet Stone Fox where everyone is not under six foot and they're all tall and blonde and d-cub. So what if one of them came down in a capsule and fucked our shit up?

**Dr. Bruce** (3:32)
Or what about like Miss Hemisphere?

**Alison Rosen** (3:36)
Yeah, getting warmer.

**Dave Dameshek** (3:37)
Miss Milky Way is probably too much, right? You got to reel it in a little bit?

**Alison Rosen** (3:40)
Yeah, plus there's some weird connotations to it.

**Dr. Bruce** (3:42)
Yeah, you don't want to say milky.

**Alison Rosen** (3:44)
Mm-hmm. So Dan will come in here. Sheck will come in here.
Couple things, we're ordering some pizza. I'm excited to say that Matt went to great lengths not to fuck up the pizza this time and so did Michael Lynch as well.
So he went over. He actually reviewed the tape from the last time I was complaining about pizza and fixed it. But again, just got back from New York and had a slice of good pizza. And when pizza is really good, cheese will do just fine. As a matter of fact, when pizza is really good, the other shit kind of gets in the way.

**Dr. Bruce** (4:25)
Right.

**Alison Rosen** (4:25)
A little bit. Holding the lily takes away like, you know, if the gay sex is really good, you don't need the amyl popper. That's what grandpa used to say.
I don't know if it's true because I always use the amyl popper.
