Hey, welcome to Kurola Classics for Sunday, January 8th, 2023.

Thanks again for tuning in.

This is a show where we play highlights of the Adam Kurola Show's history.

My name is Chris Loxamon, I'm the executive producer of the Adam Kurola Show.

And with me, as always, Kurola Archivist's super fan Giovanni.

Hey everybody, I'm so happy to be here for Sunday of the New Year.

Yes, totally.

And it does feel really good.

So let's get a good Sunday show lined up.

First off, it's in the news that Dave Batista is no longer down to play

tracks and gardens of the galaxy.

He said that for a while.

It first came up when James Gunn was dismissed from Disney,

do the online controversy about his Twitter posts, which I think I've talked about before.

If not, it was no different than what he else was doing on Twitter at the time.

Everyone was trying to be discovered as like the new hot comedian voice,

whether you are a filmmaker, whether you are the nerdist or anyone.

Doug Benson, everyone was being super edgy and making these great jokes.

And sometimes people are more experienced, seasoned comedians and others.

Even though James is a very talented writer, his book, Toy Collector,

Life Changing, it's amazing.

It's an autobiography, it's like 5% fiction in there, but he won't tell you what part is fiction.
