ThereIsNoGod: Adam is a staunch athiest, believing the universe is random in its cruelty. He often points to Bryan as an example, a young talented man with inoperable brain cancer.

SmugSnake: Or possibly {{InsufferableGenius}}. When Adam delivers a rant he thinks is particularly clever and insightful, he likes to end it with an audible, self-satisfied sniff. Additionally, he's not above congratulating himself on a particularly clever joke or turn of phrase with an under the breath "Good one, Ace-man" to himself.

SoapBoxSadie: Adam is particularly annoyed at celebrities who he thinks are pompous blowhards who talk about stuff in which no one cares about their opinion on (the irony has been pointed out to him, yes). One of the regular segments is Blah Blah Blog, in which Adam, Bryan, Alison and usually a guest will have to guess which pompous celebrity some blog entry belongs to.

BreakoutCharacter: David Allen Grier when he's a guest. Particularly his impression of R and B singer Teddy Pendegrast, which usually involves a skit of him coming into the studio to lay down backing vocal tracks (with Adam acting as producer) and him going off into obscene sexual tangents.

NeverLearnedToRead: Adam was functionally illiterate most of his life. Most people are surprised to find out, given how intelligent and seemingly educated he is. When he broke into radio, he forced himself to improve his reading ability because he was embarrased at his inability to read copy off the cuff. However, he gets annoyed when people assume he must be dyslexic (usually because he's white). No, he was just a poor, indifferent student and had really shitty teachers who let him coast through school.

DumbassDJ: One of his regular targets is morning DJ who are too excited to be reading weather weather weather, news top of the hour, at the half hour, traffic traffic traffic weather etc. Also strip club DJs ("Jade, stage five!" *Cherry Pie music bed*). He does impressions of both.

BezerkButton: Adam has several:

** Flavoring various things with "passion fruit" that don't need it. A variation is finding a regularly flavored iced tea drink at ALL, as most nowadays are flavored with something (passion fruit being his biggest offender).

** People who bring their dogs everywhere with them. Especially if they bring them on a plane under the guise of "emotional companion."

** Cops who seem to exist only to give out "chicken shit tickets" instead of going out and fighting real crime.

** LA being a shithole.
