The show's typically starts off with Adam discussing whatever has caught in his craw that day. This includes current events but also complaining about Los Angeles (traffic, stupid laws, etc) and various minor aggravations of his that he can turn into hour-long rants (see BerserkButton below). Then usually a guest(s) will come or call in and Adam will interview them. Regulars include Matt Achity (RottenTomatoes owner), David Wild, a music journalist, and several fan-favorite comedians like David Alan Grier, Jo Koy, and Deaf Frat Guy. The show ends with Alison's news segment, which may get through several news stories or just one, depending how much Adam riffs on each item.

ACS is part of the Carolla Digital network, which has a massive arsenal of podcasts. Adam additionally co-hosts ''The Adam and Dr. Drew Show'' (a revival of sorts from their days together on ''LoveLine'') and ''Ace on the House'' with his old buddy Ray (or Ace on the Roof, if you prefer), and ''Take A Knee'', which features one-on-one interviews. Adam's wife Lynette also has a podcast on the network (all about Music/BruceSpringsteen) and Alison does one called ''Alison Is Your New Best Friend'' (interviews with various celebrities and co-workers at CDN).

* WeUsedToBeFriends: Adam was once on good terms with fellow podcaster {{Kevin Smith}}. They had done each other's podcast several times and were close to signing a deal to do a TV show together. Due to bad communication, the show fell through and they blamed each other and had a bit of a public feud over it. Smith eventually went on his show and settled the hash for the most part, but they'll probably never work together again.

* AffectionateNickname: Adam's is Ace or Ace-Man, Engineer Matt "The Porcelain Punisher" Fondiler, Assistant Gary Half-Tard (and the now-fired Gary Full-Tard), Producer Chris "Maxipada" Laxamana, Assistant "The Stoned Pelican" Mike August, Agent James "Babydoll" Dixon, Newsgirl Alison "Baby Girl" Rosen, and of course Soundboard/Producer "Bald" Bryan Bishop. Frequent guest David Allen Grier is often referred to as DAG.

* YoungerThanTheyLook: Adam turns 50 in May, but looks like he's 5-10 years younger.

* 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.

* TheScrooge: Mike August. One would guess given he probably lives comfortably between working for Adam and JimmyKimmelLive, but he's notorious for being and extreme cheapskate, always seeking out free food (See BigEater), once stole the entirety of the toilet paper supply out of a comedy club's guesthouse, and famously wore his brother-in-laws shoe's while housesitting for him so as not to put unneccesary wear and tear on his own shoes.

* 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.

* AffectionateNickname: Adam's is Ace or Ace-Man, Egineer Matt "The Porcelain Punisher" Fondiler, Assistant Gary Half-Tard (and the now-fired Gary Full-Tard), Producer Chris "Maxipada" Laxamana, Assistant "The Stoned Pelican" Mike August, Agent James "Babydoll" Dixon, Newsgirl Alison "Baby Girl" Rosen, and of course Soundboard/Producer "Bald" Bryan Bishop. Frequent guest David Allen Grier is often referred to as DAG.
* AmbiguouslyJewish: Alison grew up unaware she was jewish, despite having the last name Rosen. She was asked all the time and had always said no. It wasn't until she was an adult that her parents told her. Thanks to this, she knows next to zero about Jewish culture and has to explain all this every time someone questions her about something Jewish.
* BadAss: Adam boxed and played football in his youth.

* TheFactsOfLife: One of Adam's and Alison's all time favorite shows. Alison's news intro is an {{Affectionate Parody}} of the theme song.

** Although he is technically a quarter Jewish on the Hungarian side, although not by blood (step grandfather).

** Recently, comedian Jo Koy's "Bung Lu Soo" character (aka "The Rooster), who has evolved from his "generic Asian guy accent" bit. He's constantly trying to join old 70s bands and goes on weird tangents. When he's not trying to join musical acts, he's the host at PF Chang's, not allowing Adam to sit down despite his reservation.

*** Joe seems to have another hit on his hands with "Brown Sugar" a literal box of brown sugar trying to live in the pantry, only to be denied by the other spices due to his "ethnicity."

* IAmNotSpock: Although he was the host of Loveline for over 10 years and has the most downloaded podcast of all time, most people on the street recognize him as "The Man Show Guy (who's not Jimmy Kimmel)." He's okay with this.

* MisattributedSong: Played with. Once when he went on TheTonightShow, they played...a rather odd musical entrance for him. It wasn't until later he realized they had been trying to play his podcast theme, but grabbed a rather odd one (from Ace on the House) rather than his normal one or TheManShow or somethign.

* ScrewedByTheNetwork: Happened to many projects of his that never got past the pilot stage. He usually blames producers being in charge of comedy projects who have zero sense of humor.

** Recently, comedian Joe Koy's "Bung Lu Soo" character, who has evolved from his "generica Asian guy accent" bit. He's constantly trying to join old 70s bands and goes on weird tangents.

** Speaking of a running bit pulling bizarre criminal activity reports from around the country in a segment called "Definitely Not A Jew."

** Alison doing an impression of a mentally disable person.
